My Wife is A Sword God

It is well known that the Demon Slaying Department has the Wood Token, the Green Jade Token, and the Red Lotus Token.

As for the Green Jade Demon Slayer, dealing with an ordinary official is as easy as pinching an ant.

Not to mention, there are only three of them; even if seven more come, making a total of ten, it might not be enough for a Green Jade Demon Slayer.

An official asked in a low voice, “Why does Lord Green Jade want to take action against us?”

Qin Feng did not answer, but glanced over to the other side, knowing that these people were only the vanguard.

In his line of sight, a man dressed in purple with the appearance of a scholar noticed his gaze and looked somewhat surprised.

However, according to the script, it was time for the man in purple to make his appearance.

“Not bad, Master Qin of the Poor Scholar Academy, you are truly bold!” The man in purple sneered as he walked slowly at an indifferent pace.

The onlookers were all drawn to the man, and the three officials quickly stepped aside as their mission was accomplished.

Seeing his appearance, the man in purple inexplicably felt uncomfortable. However, with the task at hand, he spoke out the prepared taunts one by one.

“Life is divided into three, six, and nine levels. It’s enough for you people to live like this for the rest of your life. Why do you have unrealistic dreams?” 

“Why study? You’re not qualified. You really are like ants shaking a tree, overestimating your abilities.” 

“People like you, even if you spend all your life, what you remember and learn can’t compare with a casual glance from someone at the National Academy. Instead of wasting time, recognise your own status.”

This speech caused the young man to bow his head in reluctance, and the onlooking commoners were furious.

After a long silence, Qin Feng said, “So you think those from the National Academy are definitely superior to us?”

Hooked. The man in purple felt pleased inside, but maintained a calm demeanour. He continued with more taunts, proposing an academic debate, carefully prepared to further pressure Qin Feng into submission.

To prevent Qin Feng from being too cautious to accept the challenge, the man in purple had thought ahead and planned to use various arguments to force Qin Feng into submission.

However, what he never expected was…

“All right, I agree,” Qin Feng said casually.

“I knew you would say that. Considering that you are a mere Medical Literature Saint, you wouldn’t dare. Huh? What did you say?” The man in purple reacted with surprise.

“I agree with your academic debate. When and where?” Qin Feng asked.

“Uh,” the face of the man in purple stiffened. The situation was going too smoothly, completely beyond his expectations.

His carefully prepared rhetoric was dead in the water before he could put it to use?

He also had a strange feeling, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Indeed, ignorance knows no fear. You…”

Before the man in purple could finish his sentence, Qin Feng interrupted, “Enough nonsense. When and where will the academic debate be conducted!”

“.”

The man in purple inexplicably felt a bit offended, but since the task was considered completed, he said directly, “Three days later, at three o’clock, in front of the Grand Literature Academy, on the Heavenly Heart Platform!”

After saying this, the man in purple wanted to add some harsh words.

However, Qin Feng spoke up, “Three days later, I will leave on time. But first, tell the people behind you not to send anyone to harass my students during that time. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”

“I am not the one who sends people to harass your students. How you treat me is your business.” The man in purple was intimidated by Qin Feng’s aura and did not dare to say any more harsh words. He just snorted and left with a flick of his sleeve.

“Teacher Qin, about the academic dispute.” The young man showed a worried expression. Even he could see that the other party clearly had bad intentions.

Qin Feng turned around, patted the young man’s head, and said, “Don’t worry about the academic dispute. Just concentrate on your studies.”

“Three days later.” He turned his head in the direction of the Great Literature Academy, looking determined.

The person who sent the man in purple turned out to be Mo Siye from the National Academy, Tang Fei’s teacher.

Earlier, when Qin Feng broke into the National Academy and established the Poor Scholar Academy, it had humiliated Mo Siye, so he had held a grudge.

This time, when he heard of Tang Fei’s plan, coupled with the Third Prince’s involvement, he decided to get involved.

At the Grand Literature Academy, when Tang Fei heard that Qin Feng had accepted the academic dispute, he smiled faintly, as if everything was under control.

The man in purple said, “It’s just that this guy agreed too easily. He seems very sure of himself.”

The man’s concern was evident in his words.

“A mere person who seeks the Literature Saint Dao through medical skills has fortunately passed through the National Academy.” 

“How many resources can he have? Our National Academy is full of talent, and there are countless experts in various academic disciplines. Beating a young man is effortless, no effort at all,” Mo Siye said indifferently.

In his opinion, Qin Feng’s ability to break through the National Academy was probably due to some unforeseen changes in the Academy Palace, the mysterious disappearance being one of them.

Tang Fei was indifferent, “Confidence is often built on the foundation of one’s own strength. But there is another possibility, the fearless ignorance”.

Hearing their conversation, the man in purple also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Fei continued, “I must inform His Royal Highness the Third Prince of this matter.” 

“Let him send someone to secretly spread the news of the academic dispute. If he is defeated in front of everyone, Qin Feng’s confidence will inevitably be shattered, and the collapse of the Heart Questioning Platform will only be a matter of time.”

“Very well, not only can it discipline this ignorant youth, but it can also show the world and His Majesty the true strength of our National Academy,” Mo Siye said, stroking his beard with a smile.

“Master, rest assured. What you expect will surely be achieved in three days,” Tang Fei said confidently.

At court, Emperor Ming proposed the imperial examination system and, not surprisingly, met with almost unanimous opposition from the civil officials.

If this policy were implemented, many talented individuals from poor backgrounds would inevitably emerge at court, harming the interests of the powerful. How could they agree?

The reasons for the opposition of these civil servants are various, among which there are two reasons that are the most popular.

The first was: “Scholars from humble backgrounds are coarse and unfit to enter the great hall.”

The second was: “The current system of selecting officials is flawless. Most officials come from the National Academy with real talent and knowledge.” 

“If the imperial examination system were opened up, it would inevitably lead to a mixed bag in the court, which would not be beneficial to the Great Qian.”

Upon hearing these opinions, Emperor Ming showed no anger. After all, he had anticipated this situation a long time ago. Implementing new policies is not an easy task. His proposal today was just a warning to everyone.

Looking at the officials below, Emperor Ming calmly said, “I have heard what you, my ministers, have said.” 

“You believe that the scholars at the National Academy are superior to those in the whole country.” 

“So there is no need to settle for second best and introduce the Imperial Examination System to gather talents from all over the country?”

A large number of civil officials replied in unison, “Your Majesty’s words are absolutely correct. All the world’s heroes are in the National Academy.”

Emperor Ming sneered, neither confirming nor denying, “Dismissed!”
