who knows

At three quarters of Yin time the next day, the sky was twilight and the morning was still dark. The badges issued by all the newly enrolled students all shone brightly, not to mention those who were still asleep. After waking up, the people who had washed up and rested and waited to set off were also taken aback.

Zhong Liqing was naturally not among them.

In fact, when the waist card began to flash, she had already calmly pulled it off her waist, carried it behind her back, and turned her head to greet You Chuhe, who was also ready, and pushed it away The door went out.

Walking through the long hallway in the backyard of the men's dormitory, I saw many students rushing to the martial arts arena in groups of threes and twos following the reminder of their waist badges, but there were also a few rooms where "Ping Ping" was heard. "Ping-pong-pong" in a hurry, and the doors of several rooms were still closed tightly, and the students in the room turned a deaf ear to other movements, immersed in a deep sleep.

By the time Zhong Liqing and the others arrived at the martial arts arena, Li Mao Shizheng still had an incense stick of kung fu, and nearly [-]% of the students were already pushing and shoving on the martial arts arena, while the remaining [-]% ​​were absent due to various reasons. Appeared on the martial arts arena.

Zhong Liqing glanced at the crowd, and saw Ying Xi standing on tiptoe, looking for herself through the shadow blocking her, seeing her looking over, a bright smile burst into her face, and pushed away the boy who was blocking her The girls, regardless of the surprised or angry expressions of the people who were pushed away, only Zhong Liqing smiled at them helplessly shaking their heads.

"I didn't stay in bed." Zhong Liqing calmly pulled Ying Xi behind her, and took her back a few steps, avoiding the gazes of those who were pushed away by her and looking for trouble, and said with a low smile.

"You're not here, people can't sleep, they wake up before dawn, want to see you sooner!" coquettishly hugged Zhong Liqing's arm, when he felt the arm that was close to the soft part of his chest froze suddenly The corners of her mouth could not help but curled up quietly, and then continued to pester innocently, "Xi'er is hungry and wants to eat."

Pretending not to hear Ying Xi's complaints, nor to feel the plumpness of her arms against her, Zhong Liqing glanced down at her face, then reached out to check her pulse, and asked in a low voice: "A few days ago Is your stock finished?"

——Didn't this girl swear at the beginning that she would drink it once every seven days, so she would save some money?

It's only been a few days since you know you're going to beg for food?

Although it's easy to get some fresh human blood in this crowded academy, Zhong Liqing doesn't want to pamper this girl too much. If she can be forced to leave the academy to live in a safe place elsewhere, that would be the most ideal It worked out.

Seeing Zhong Liqing's gloomy face, Ying Xi immediately behaved and said, "I just want a change!"

"..." Zhong Liqing glanced at her lightly, turned her head and ignored her, and expressed her dissatisfaction in silence.

Ying Xi pursed her lips, and leaned against her aggrievedly, no longer making noise or trying to get her attention by being coquettish, just staying quietly.

At this moment, a voiceless sound of bell and chime reverberated over the entire Martial Arts Arena, and yesterday's instructors also suddenly appeared from a misty clearing, perhaps using the magic technique of shrinking the ground into inches and moving the stars to the sky. The person was teleported from other places, and in the eyes of the students, it seemed as if he appeared in the martial arts arena in an instant and came out from behind the mist.

"Congratulations to everyone present," the white-haired old man said with a smile as soon as he appeared, "The rest of the students who have not yet arrived have already been eliminated."

"What? I've been late for just a while..." A student who hurried into the martial arts arena just heard him say this, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, even trying to hide in the crowd without any trace, to cover up his delay Come on for a moment with the facts.

It's just that he hadn't finished speaking, and before he got into the crowd and stood firm, a whirlwind suddenly covered his head and rolled him into the air. When he was caught off guard and screamed, he was thrown heavily He flung into the open space on the other side.

No matter how mournful and cursing this early student was, the serious Dean You suddenly reprimanded him in a deep voice: "Six arts of a gentleman, etiquette is the first. What is etiquette? Respectful, dignified and not annoying is the etiquette ( Note). You can’t even be punctual, how can you talk about etiquette!”

As soon as he said this, the students below were all silent and speechless.

Zhong Liqing hooked the corners of her lips, but in her heart she sneered at his pretentious bureaucratic tone: the principle of being rude and not standing up is just because these people ignored the meeting time stipulated by the coaches and refused to obey the discipline—to trace back to the source, This is just a... no matter what, it will be used to make a big fuss.

Besides, among the [-]% monks who arrived at the martial arts field early, there are not many casual cultivators from poor families.

It stands to reason that after refining Qi into the body, monks will no longer rely too much on sleep to adjust their physical condition, and most of them will choose to use meditation instead, and the ray of rising sun purple energy in the morning is the natural spiritual power to improve their cultivation and comprehension Well, even a monk with a little brain would not waste that moment, immersing himself in sleep without practicing.

Unless, this cultivator has no intention of cultivating; or, this cultivator is stuck for some reason, unable to wake up.

Zhong Liqing will never forget that when she passed by the gallery, she glanced at it and felt the restrained fluctuations faintly coming from a few rooms, presumably they were tampered with without knowing it—this is an undercurrent hidden under the calm surface , It is far more exciting than the aboveboard competition.

Seeing that most of the students were overwhelmed by the shocking words, You Baichuan nodded in satisfaction, signaling the white-haired old man to continue with the next procedure.

The old man smoothed things over wisely, cleared his throat, and raised his voice and said: "It is a courtesy to be respectful, thrifty and dignified, and it is also a courtesy to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. This jade slip records the common sense of each sect headed by the five major sects of the Tianhua Kingdom. All gentlemen read and recite by themselves, and the assessment will be conducted in three days."

——Backing common sense is one of the tests of this ceremony?

It's really... surprisingly simple.

Nearly [-]% of the unruly and late students were eliminated, and a lot of review materials were sent back to recite, and this farce-like morning meeting was over.

Zhong Liqing played with the jade slips that everyone had, and walked out of the academy regardless of Yingxi's non-stop chatter - as long as they don't violate the strictly prohibited rules, the academy does not restrict students' personal freedom, just The spirit-gathering array is set up in the academy, and the aura is several times stronger than outside, and it is much better to stay inside and practice, so basically no students will move out, and if they have to, they will not leave the academy easily.

As the assessment approached, even students like Ao Youxuan, who were almost certain to be selected, took the time to practice. There were only a handful of people like Zhong Liqing who had nothing to do and left the academy to wander the streets freely.

And seeing her leave, not to mention how others looked sideways, Ying Xi naturally wanted to follow.

Zhong Liqing had something on her mind, so she didn't chase her away, but just walked on by herself, ignoring her; although Ying Xi was disappointed, she also knew that Zhong Liqing was cold-tempered and always wanted to get rid of herself, so she didn't force her. She didn't talk too much anymore - even if she just quietly followed Zhong Liqing, she still felt very happy.

She never wanted much, just to be by her side.

...But even this is nothing more than a luxury.

After walking a few blocks away, Zhong Liqing was finally sure that her instinct was correct: someone was following them.This person's cultivation was undoubtedly very strong, at least several times stronger than her and Ying Xi's, but he was not good at hiding his whereabouts, and Zhong Liqing was originally sensitive, suspicious and paranoid, so he naturally sensed something was wrong.

In order to confirm her guess, she grabbed Ying Xi's hand and put a few ingots of silver in her palm—by closing her palm for her, she quietly drew a defensive black iron talisman on the back of her hand— Wen Sheng said: "Unfortunately, I suddenly want to eat the chestnut cakes from the pastry shop at the corner of the street just now, you can buy some for me... I will wait for you at the teahouse at the end of the street, okay?"

Although he was puzzled that Zhong Liqing had never sent him to do such trivial errands before, Ying Xi, who would never refuse any of Zhong Liqing's requests, nodded and went happily with the money, hoping to buy the best. The chestnut crisps he ate let Zhong Liqing know that he was also useful.

And since she left, Zhong Liqing turned her back as if nothing had happened, and walked in another direction. At the same time, she let go of her spiritual sense and scattered her perception, but found that the visitation that made her feel like a light disappeared... Her footsteps After a pause, she turned her head and glanced at the direction Ying Xi was leaving. She could no longer see the girl's back, but her unique aura was still within Zhong Liqing's range of perception.

She suddenly realized that perhaps that peeping gaze was directed at Ying Xi from the beginning to the end... Then her trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Thinking of this, Zhong Liqing frowned, but did not panic, but walked along the long street for a while, until the teahouse she had agreed with Ying Xi appeared in her eyes, and walked in.

She booked a private room and told the waiter not to come up to bother her other than to greet a beautiful girl with a waist badge of Xinyuan College. After confirming that no one was following her, she jumped out of the back window to the other side of the street. Quickly rushed towards Ying Xi's direction.

The consciousness was released, and when she found the dim sum shop not far away, she really felt the aura of Ying Xi; beside her, there was another powerful aura, which seemed to be the spy she had sensed before.

After finding the location, Zhong Liqing was not in a hurry to show up, she restrained her spiritual power to the minimum, then chose a hidden angle, poked out half of her head cautiously, and looked there—Ying Xi wrapped her hands in oiled paper She kept trying to break through the obstacles in front of her, but the tall slender woman in front of her was relentlessly pestering her and saying something, her expression was anxious and distressed, but there was no hostility at all.

Only then did Zhong Liqing feel relieved, and put back the talisman clasped tightly in her hand. Just as she was about to fix her eyes on the mouth shapes of the two, Ying Xi, who was still puffing out her cheeks with an impatient face, suddenly raised her eyes. She looked towards her side, and then her little face turned cloudy and sunny, and she burst into a joyful smile, sideways avoiding the tall woman who was blocking her, and happily jumped over.

"Brother Qing, the chestnut crisps you wanted!" Holding the pastry in both hands as if offering a treasure, she handed it to her, and the words "Praise me, praise me, praise me quickly" were written on her face, so Zhong Liqing had no choice but to suppress herself. Embarrassed suddenly when she found out, she took the pastry with a smile, and rubbed her forehead hair to express her praise.

"Bold! How dare you belittle Your Highness!" A shout came from the tall and slender woman who was ignored by Ying Xi, and it also taught Zhong Liqing to look at her openly.

This woman looks to be in her early twenties, a head taller than Zhong Liqing, with arm guards and a forehead, and a long sword hanging around her waist. Vibrant and delicate, yet dignified and dignified, there is an air of iron and blood lingering in his body, like a battle-tested military officer, the evil star who beheaded thousands of people.

However, the word "His Royal Highness" she called made Zhong Liqing have to think deeply - this girl, Ying Xi, really has a high status.

But this also means that her previous distress was even more dangerous.

"This is not a place to discuss in detail, so follow me." The aura floating on this man's body was floating up and down the golden core, just talking about his cultivation, he didn't care about the evil spirit on his body to teach Zhong Liqing.Looking at her expression, she also didn't want to be in the street to cause a conflict and attract attention, so Zhong Liqing proposed to take her and Ying Xi to the teahouse where the private room had been reserved before.

The waiter was very surprised that she came in from downstairs for the second time. After all, he was winking and didn't make any noise. He just respectfully welcomed them to the second floor, served tea again, and then left.

I poured myself a cup of bitter tea, and when Ying Xi looked over eagerly, I pushed the floral dew specially ordered for her in front of her, watched her happily drink it, and then looked up at The tall and slender woman who has always maintained a first-level vigilance state: "Who are you, and why are you following my brother and sister?"

Zhong Liqing didn't know why this Jindan cultivator, who was clearly cultivated much higher than hers, looked at her as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and she couldn't figure out why the other party came, so she just pretended not to know her. He came here for Ying Xi, and still regarded himself as the elder brother.

But he heard the Golden Core cultivator slapping the table, and angrily scolded: "Shu Zi is so rude! He even claimed to be His Highness's elder brother..." She didn't know what she saw or heard, and was about to continue talking , but suddenly paused, lowered his voice embarrassingly, changed his previous attitude, and explained in a good voice, "My name is He Lianyi, and I come from the Wei family of the Ying family—the direct branch of the Helian family. I ordered you to come and protect His Royal Highness Hui."

Zhong Liqing grasped a few key points from what she said after she eased her attitude: the Wei family of the Ying family, His Highness, and the Hui family.

"Unfortunately, do you have any impression of what she said?" Zhong Liqing looked at the party who had the most say, but the latter just licked his lips wet with floral dew, and shook his head without thinking.

The woman had a bitter face, but she seemed to be hindered by something, and she didn't dare to talk too much. This timid look made it hard to believe that this was a Golden Core cultivator.

Zhong Liqing glanced at Ying Xi, who was concentrating on lowering her head and sipping the rim of her cup, as if aware of it, then looked at the Golden Core cultivator, and smiled slightly.

Although she really wanted to get rid of Ying Xi, this little brown candy immediately, so that she could concentrate on the assessment and pass the test smoothly, but it didn't mean that she could not care about this girl's life and entrust her safety to a stranger.

This He Lianyi kept claiming that she was here to protect Ying Xi, and vaguely emphasized her noble status, but it also reflected the danger Ying Xi faced—since she was a candidate for the throne in the future, how could she end up being defeated? The soul-destroying nail, the fate of being sold into a slave?

And after such a long time, the so-called guard found Ying Xi, but it was after he rescued her.

This He Lianyi has a pure human cultivator's aura, which is quite different from Ying Xi's slightly sinister and sinister aura - it's only because Zhong Liqing was born with a powerful divine sense as powerful as a Nascent Soul that he can discern the subtleties of Ying Xi's body. It is difficult to tell the difference between Nascent Soul and below.

This is also one of the reasons why she tried her best to prevent Ying Xi from joining the academy at the beginning: What if the dean who claims to be at the early stage of Yuanying found out?

Fortunately, You Baichuan was more incompetent than she expected. Not to mention his vain cultivation, he accumulated it with pills and magic weapons. I am afraid that the level of spiritual consciousness condensation is far lower than the average level of ordinary Nascent Soul's power. Let the girl Yingxi be able to fish in the troubled waters of Shenyuan Academy safely.

But this is not a long-term solution after all - paper can never contain fire.

Now, the appearance of He Lianyi is undoubtedly an opportunity.

It's just that before she passes the test, Zhong Liqing will never let Ying Xi be taken away easily.

During this period of being together almost day and night, even if you have only a pet, you will have some feelings, let alone a human being?

Although she kept telling herself not to be soft-hearted and not to be dragged down by this hopelessly stupid girl, Zhong Liqing definitely had to think more about her, so she couldn't be abducted again.

Next time, no one with good intentions would offer her two spirit stones.

After several trials with each other's own plans, the meeting finally broke up due to Ying Xi's lack of cooperation and Zhong Liqing's inactivity.

Ignoring He Lianyi who had to give up following Ying Xi's threats and warnings, which seemed real or false, Zhong Liqing packed some pastries and returned to the academy with Ying Xi.

Stuffing most of the cakes into the girl's arms, and watching her reluctantly return to the women's dormitory, Zhong Liqing suddenly asked: "Unfortunately, in the three days, the common sense in this jade slip can be as good as it gets." You can do it by heart, can you do it?"

"Well, this, that... no." Ying Xi bulged her cheeks, wanting to argue about something, but finally replied with drooping head, "My memory is not very good, don't talk about it, even the past I can’t even remember.”

Zhong Liqing rubbed her forehead hair reassuringly, then turned around and walked towards the men's dormitory in a good mood, the last reply with a smile was carried away by the breeze, and was scattered among the shimmering dust particles. middle.

"That's good……"
