In the 91st year of Lan Li, summer.

Light rain.

The rain as thin as spider silk fell on the snow-white streets of Yeye City, splashing out some ripples, and then penetrated into the gaps of the white stone slabs and disappeared without a trace.

In the empty streets, you can see some pedestrians passing by. At the end of the street, there are dozens of towering white towers connected to the sky. They are of varying heights and stabbing straight into the sky like sharp swords.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting under these white towers, and the sign behind him had the words "Yeye College Admissions Office".

He was sleeping on the table.

Until someone gently patted the table in front of him.

“I want to sign up.”

The speaker is a calm and crisp female voice, neat and graceful, just like the sound of rain falling on a jade plate.

The boy woke up immediately and looked at the person in front of him.

He saw a light blonde girl standing in the rain. A young man with a big bag behind her was struggling to hold her a greased paper umbrella. The raindrops slid down from the top of the umbrella and scattered down, hitting half of the boy outside, and most of his clothes were already wet.

But the boy's face still showed a natural and determined look.

He instantly became energetic.

There is nothing else, just because this girl is so beautiful.

She stood there quietly, like a quietly blooming lotus in the snow, with an almost flawless face and expression, as if walking out of a painting.

"Hello, beautiful girl, my name is Zhou Yi. I am the admissions director of the college today. What instructions do you have?" Zhou Yi almost stood at attention behind the table, and said in a panic as he said.

It's like the sign of the admissions office is behind the other party.

"Register." The girl used the standard orchid language, and Zhou Yi could not hear any trace of accent.

"Do you have a recommendation form?" Zhou Yi said in a business manner, and then his voice lowered a little: "If not..."

Before he could finish the backdoor program he offered, he saw that the boy behind the girl had already struggled to take out two palm-sized cards from his arms and pushed them in front of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully.

These recommendation forms are one of the necessary procedures for applying for Ye Ye Academy. Most of them come from colleges throughout the Lanye Empire. Only those who receive basic education and are recognized have the opportunity to be recommended to enter the highest institution of learning in this empire. In addition to this most common passage, many aristocratic forces in the Lanye Empire are also qualified to recommend descendants of their value to participate in Ye Ye’s third examination and strive for the opportunity to enter the academy.

However, the recommendation list of the girl in front of you does not belong to the above two.

The recommendation form will record the candidate's name, age, place, history and most importantly, the current strength and realm. Zhou Yi was anxious to see it because he wanted to know the identity of the girl in front of him. He quickly learned that the other party was named Liu Ru, who was just fourteen years old this year - this is the minimum admission threshold for Ye Ye Academy.

She came from the eastern border of the Lanye Empire, which could explain the origin of her hair color, but there was no admission record next - that is, she had not received the corresponding education in any college before.

Zhou Yi frowned and continued to look down.

The signing party of the recommendation form is the Mercenary Guild.

A big trough lay in his heart.

He quickly looked at another recommendation form, which was the servant boy behind Liu Ru.

Su Ziye, fourteen years old, also comes from the eastern border of the empire, has no educational experience, and recommends the Mercenary Guild.

He couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him carefully.

Needless to say, the girl named Liu Ru is born with great beauty, and her temperament also has an indescribable taste. Even if she just stood there, Zhou Yi felt that the other party was his interviewer.

The boy behind her seemed much simpler. The big bag behind him was almost taller than himself. He even helped the girl hold an umbrella, looking as ordinary as a brick.

Seeing Zhou Yi being a little stunned, Liu Ru said, "Is there any problem?"

"No, no problem." Zhou Yi said quickly.

Of course there is no problem. The Mercenary Guild is of course qualified to recommend admission quotas to Ye Ye Academy. It is even said that the headquarters of the Mercenary Guild is located in Ye Ye City.

But the problem is that the Mercenary Guild's recommendation form is not serious.

Other people’s recommendation lists are for their own people. Their students have outstanding qualifications and excellent grades, and their juniors have outstanding talents. They are among the best.

Of course, I have to give myself some advice and show my lintel to your family and be proud.

However, the Mercenary Guild's recommendation form is for outsiders.

Actually, it’s true that there are no insiders in the Mercenary Guild.

The Mercenary Guild itself is a place for coordination for major mercenaries. He has no power to command major mercenary groups. Therefore, although he has recommended quotas, these quotas are generally used as bargaining chips to outsiders.

Either clearly mark the price or as a reward for some mercenary tasks. In short, many people come to Yeye Academy to apply for the application with the Mercenary Guild recommendation form every year, but their origins are really diverse.

As a quasi-commercial institution, Mercenary Guild also does a very authentic job.

That's the recommendation form for you, but don't look for me for any troubles next.

I have no melons in rain.

Therefore, what is most importantly cared for by Ye Ye Academy every year is the recommendation list given by this mercenary guild.

It is also the recommendation form submitted by the two people in front of Zhou Yi.

"The enrollment rate of recommended students in the Mercenary Guild over the years is not high." Zhou Yi muttered softly, lowered his head and registered carefully according to the recommendation form of the two people.

And Liu Ru and Su Ziye were standing in the rain and waiting quietly.

Soon, Zhou Yi registered all the information of the two people, then skillfully stroked the back of the registration form with his fingers, and then returned the recommendation form of the two people to the other party.

"At 9:00 am on June 6, come to the hospital on time to conduct an assessment based on the recommendation form." Zhou Yi looked at Liu Ru and said.

Liu Ru nodded, and Su Ziye, behind her, reached out to take the two recommendation forms back in her arms. The two were about to return the same way, and Zhou Yi called them: "This, Liu Ru."

Although Liu Ru has not passed Ye Ye’s third test yet, she has become a candidate and can be called by her classmates.

"Is there anything wrong?" Liu Ru turned her head and asked.

"Have you found a place to live in the city?" Zhou Yi said with a smile. It is always right to have a better attitude towards beautiful women.

Liu Ru nodded slightly without comment.

"Ye Yeju, it's not easy." Zhou Yi said with a smile: "If Ye Yeyuan could not live in the college, there would probably be few people who could afford the rent here. After all, this is a small island, and there is no place to fill the lake after the city wall is built."

"But since you two have found a place to live, I won't say anything extra."

As he said this, he blew into his palm and looked at Liu Ru: "Student Liu Ru, I have a gift here, do you want to see it?"

Liu Ru looked at the other person, and there was no emotion in her expression.

She just shook her head and was about to turn around.

But Zhou Yi clearly saw a fool in her eyes.

He was suddenly panicked.

"Don't get me wrong, Liu Ru, I'm just making a magic trick for you."

As he said this, he quickly stretched out his right hand and saw a small wooden box suddenly appeared in the empty palm of his hand.

This wooden box looks only the size of a little finger, but the wood is purple and red, with delicate texture, and it looks like it is a very precious mahogany.

"There is a huge secret here, if Liu Ru doesn't mind..."

Before Zhou Yi could finish his words, Liu Ru turned around and walked outside. Su Ziye beside her raised his hand and gently threw the oil paper umbrella in his hand. He saw the oil paper umbrella hovering into the air, while he turned around and quickly walked to Zhou Yi, snatching the wooden box in his hand.

"Even my lady wants to take a meal, you're so brave." Su Ziye looked at Zhou Yi and said viciously. After saying harsh words, he looked back and didn't care about anything else. He turned around and took two steps behind him and ran one step.

Liu Ru had already walked ten steps away, and the umbrella thrown by Su Ziye hovered and rose and fell in the air, always staying above Liu Ru's head, covering her raindrops tightly.

Until Su Ziye rushed back in a hurry, the umbrella had just fallen above Liu Ru's head, the boy stretched out his hand and held the oil-paper umbrella in his hand just right, and then the master and servant disappeared into the fine rain curtain.

Zhou Yi looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but sigh.
