don't show

The moment she left Murong Mansion, she had no home.

She thought that she didn't want to see people from Murong Mansion again.

But when the girl in front of her stood in front of her, she still had some strange feelings in her heart.

A feeling of being connected by blood.

She stretched out her hand, gently touched the girl's face, and said softly: "At that time, you were still a baby, and in a blink of an eye, you had already grown so big..."

Murong Yu said embarrassedly: "It's been 17 years."

The imperial concubine said with emotion: "It has been 17 years, and the little Yu'er back then has grown into a big girl."

She held Murong Yu's hand and said, "Come in, let aunt take a good look at you..."

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Murong Yu is a relative of the imperial concubine, she doesn't understand the imperial concubine as well as he does.

Not only was the imperial concubine not unhappy when she saw her, but she was left to live in another courtyard, and she also took out the jewelry she had previously collected for her to choose.

She really deserves to be her aunt, Lin Xiu has never seen her treat anyone so well before.

They were talking in the room, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth, and then she left without a sound.

The last time when Lin Xiu saw the little girl from Murong's family, Lin Xiu felt that she was not bad, with a straightforward and kind personality. In fact, she was somewhat similar to the imperial concubine. Her existence could just fill the void of family affection in the empress's heart.

It would be best if she could always be by the bridesmaid's side.

Moreover, with her talent, in fact, staying in the capital and joining the School of Different Arts would be more beneficial to her practice.

For the sake of the imperial concubine, he really broke his heart.

Today's competition is over. After returning to the wedding residence, Lin Xiu and Caiyi continued to study the changes in the replication ability.

After several hours of exploration, Lin Xiu made another discovery.

The function of this ability is not just bestowed.

He can give abilities, and he can take them away.

Of course, what he took away was limited to the abilities he bestowed.

Specifically, through physical touch, he could take back the power magic bestowed on Caiyi, but he could not deprive her of the sound magic.

This discovery meant that anyone who was empowered by Lin Xiu would not pose any threat to him.

Because the abilities he bestowed upon them can be withdrawn at any time.

And when Caiyi loses her strength and changes, Lin Xiu can copy her new abilities through intimate contact.

It's just that this process is a bit tiring. The process of copying, depriving, and re-copying consumes a lot of energy. It's not a waste of energy, but an indescribable exhaustion.

After careful consideration, Lin Xiu replaced her with the ability of Lingyin.

For one thing, it's a bit weird that a girl who looks delicate is actually extremely powerful. For Caiyi, she doesn't need this ability.

Another important reason is that compared to the magic of ice, the speed of cultivation of the power magic is not only slow, but also the process of practice is not easy. You can't let her lift the stone lock in the room every day, right?

If it's Bing, she doesn't need to deliberately spend time cultivating at all, Lin Xiu just spares some time every night to help her, just like Lingyin helped him before.

In addition, Lin Xiu made another special discovery.

After Caiyi possesses the magic of ice, at certain special times, the power of ice in her body and the power of fire in Lin Xiu's body will produce certain changes, which actually have the effect of direct cultivation.

This seems to be the correct way of double cultivation. Compared with the incomplete double cultivation with Princess Minghe, Yuanli will grow faster.

Fast return fast, but the limitations are also very large.

No one can practice in this way except couples.

Lin Xiu couldn't tell Princess Minghe either. First, he couldn't explain how he found out. Second, Princess Minghe might think he was implying that she would use her body to repay the debt.

He cannot sully the pure friendship between them.

There are not many girls who have pure friendship with him.

Chapter 233 This is Friendship!

Nancheng, on the school grounds.

After several days of competition, 700 of the 100 people who participated in the small competition have been eliminated, leaving only [-] people who can participate in the next few rounds of competition.

There will be two rounds of competition this morning and afternoon.

In the first round, out of 100 people, 50 people will be eliminated.

In the second round, half of the 50 people will be eliminated, leaving only the last 25 people to participate in tomorrow's competition.

After the three rounds of competition, there are not many people left who are still eligible to participate in the competition. There is no need to reserve another whole day for drawing lots. Instead, draw lots on the spot at the entrance of the school grounds.

A young man looked delighted and asked his companion beside him, "The number I drew is 41, how much is yours?"

His companion showed bitterness and sighed, "Number Two..."

"Haha, I got NO.30, not the ground level."

"Who is NO.17? It seems to be Miss Zhao's husband-in-law. It's over, I'm going to be stuck in the sky..."

……

After the lottery, naturally some people are happy and some are sad.

In the stands next to the first and second school grounds, Lin Xiu and Lingyin had already arrived. Today's competition was relatively easy for them, but tomorrow it will not be so easy. Tomorrow's competition will be more successful In the encounter between the rank and the ground rank, even if it is only a loss, the path of the small competition will end here.

And their number of draws will also be rearranged according to the performance of these competitions. No one knows what kind of opponent they will encounter at that time.

After a while, Murong Yu and the concubine, who was usually dressed in ordinary clothes, came from a distance.

The imperial concubine is not wearing palace attire today, she is wearing a plain white dress with only a few strands of tassels embellished, and she does not wear any of the exquisite hair accessories in the palace. She only uses a simple hairpin, which looks like Like an ordinary little woman.

It's just that ordinary little women are not as pretty as her.

Nor her temperament.

She stood with Shuangshuang and Murong Yu, and she couldn't tell they were more than ten years older than them. Seeing the look of the imperial concubine, Lin Xiu knew that it was right for Murong Yu to see her. , cannot be missing.

Lin Xiu asked Murong Yu, "How many lottery did you get?"

Murong Yu said: "Eleven."

After watching the competition for several days, Lin Xiu knew all the low-ranking seeds. Murong Yu got No. 11 in the draw. The luck can be good or bad.

If you win the ground rank, your luck is naturally not good.

However, NO.11 is Wei Yun of the Duke of Wei's mansion. His ability is the same as that of Princess Minghe. The wind has a natural advantage when facing the fire, that is, Wei Yun is stronger and has a stronger ability to control fire. The advantage, under the absolute strength, will be wiped out directly.

The imperial concubine asked her: "Can you win?"

Murong Yu smiled and said: "I'm not sure, try my best, anyway, I've already got a place in the Grand Competition, just try to get promoted to the rank before the Grand Competition."

Murong Yu's idea is correct, but if he can enter the top ten, or top twenty, in the next six months, the imperial court will focus on training.

Lin Xiu glanced at Murong Yu and asked, "Have you reached a bottleneck in your cultivation of different arts?"

Murong Yu nodded and said, "It's just that there is no opportunity for a breakthrough."

Her cultivation talent is really good, not much better than Minghe and Lingyin, even better than them. After all, she can't practice dual cultivation. She can practice to this level at this age. When she grows up for a few more years, Tianjiao There must be a place for her on the list.

Lin Xiu made a symbolic gesture of reaching into her bosom, took out the last fifth-order Yuanjing, handed it to her, and said, "There is only this one, try it."

Murong Yu looked at this fifth-order primordial crystal, slightly astonished.

In the past two months, my father and grandfather have also bought the fifth-order Yuanjing at a high price. The bid has even reached 15 taels, but they haven't even bought a single one. .

She did have a strong desire to break through, so she didn't refuse, but said: "I will write a letter to my family and ask my father to send 15 taels of silver here."

Princess Minghe heard it not far away, feeling a little ashamed.

The woman directly asked for 15 taels. Lin Xiu only counted her 10 taels for one Yuanjing. She really took care of her. On the basis of 15 years, there will be another 60 years...

Hey, she still needs to use some of her monthly pocket money. Calculated in this way, in less than 1000 years, I am afraid that he will not be able to pay off his debt at all.

This made her worry again.

The imperial concubine originally wanted to say that she would return the 15 taels to Lin Xiu for Xiao Yuer.

Every month, she will distribute a large amount of money from Ningxiangzhai, and she didn't have any big expenses in the palace, so she should have saved a lot by now.

But thinking that her money was also given by Lin Xiu, she couldn't open her mouth.

Using his money, paying back his money, what is this...

But Lin Xiu waved her hand to Murong Yu, and said, "No need, I owe you a favor, this Yuanjing, let's treat it as my repaying your favor."

Murong Yu was thinking back, when did Lin Xiu owe her a favor?

The two have only known each other for a day.

Could it be that he was talking about my aunt?

This is an opportunity for my aunt and the Murong family to reconcile. If we talk about favors, she and the Murong family should owe him. What identity and position does he use to say this?

But at this moment, she didn't have time to think about it.

If she can't break through, she has no certainty of winning the real level.

So she walked to a corner, closed her eyes and took a breath, adjusted her state, and made preparations before breaking through.

When Lin Xiu walked to the other side, Princess Minghe asked in a low voice, "Who is she?"

Although Lingyin and Ning'er didn't ask Lin Xiu, they all looked over.

Lin Xiudao: "Her name is Murong Yu, she is the niece of the imperial concubine, and she should be your cousin."

Murongyu's grandmother and Princess Minghe's grandfather are brothers and sisters of the same mother. The two of them naturally have some relatives and some stories. Speaking of it, it seems that their talents in different arts are passed down from generation to generation.

Emperor Xia and the imperial concubine's generation didn't have any supernatural abilities, but Princess Minghe and Murong Yu were both talented.

Princess Minghe looked at Murongyu, and muttered, "If a Yuanjing can't break through, it will owe others 15 taels of silver. It's better to practice on your own. There's still half a year left before the Grand Competition..."

For this matter, she has the most power to speak.

As soon as her words fell, there was a breeze blowing by her side.

Although it was not yet noon at this time, the sun was rising and it was already a little hot. This breeze brought coolness to everyone.

The breeze was blowing, and most people didn't notice anything unusual except for comfort.

Song Yuzhang looked back, and finally locked his eyes on a girl in the corner of the stand. Surprise appeared in his eyes. She actually made a breakthrough in the school field, and she still had the ability of the wind element. Although she didn't know who her opponent was, it was foreseeable. Yes, that person is going to be unlucky.

Princess Minghe stared blankly at Murong Yu in the corner, and murmured: "Is this a breakthrough?"

She must be feeling wrong.

How could someone break through with only one crystal.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

The number of crystals used to break through is actually a matter of luck. Lin Xiudao: "Some people are lucky and some are not. This is normal. When Lingyin broke through, only one was used."

"do not talk……"

Princess Minghe stayed away from Lin Xiu silently, and sat in a certain position with a melancholy expression on her face.

Lin Xiu walked up to Murong Yu and said, "Congratulations."

Murong Yu also said to him: "Thank you."

At this time, the drums on the school field sounded, and the competition had already begun.

The 100-person competition is still divided into ten schools, and each school needs five competitions.

Just when the competition started, a dramatic scene occurred on the first school field.

The five people drawn to the first school field all declared abstention.

Zhao Lingjun, Qianye Lin, Zhang Ren, Song Yuzhang, and Qin Wan will advance directly to the next round.

With the exception of Qin Wan, the other four were all in the top [-] of the previous Tianjiao list. After three years, their strength must be stronger. , must also be the result of being crushed.

As for Qin Wan.

So far, she is still shrouded in a veil of mystery in people's hearts.
