Companionship

In front of the gate of Heping Town, more than a dozen figures stood quietly aside, looking at the people who came here from the Black Corner Region with indifferent expressions.For them, situations like this happen many times a day.Perhaps it was also because of this that there was no wave of emotion on their faces.It's just that when these people came, they quickly stood in front of them like apes.

State their rules.

After a brief silence, a leading middle-aged talent said indifferently: "Anyone who enters Heping Town must report his identity and name, etc., otherwise, he will be expelled directly."

Following the appearance of a light red elixir on the man's wide palm, the man's voice continued to sound, "Also, after reporting their names and identities, please take this elixir."

After the man finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in the scene.

Seeing the red elixir, most people felt strong dissatisfaction in their hearts.However, even so, no one, it can be said that no one dared to resist these somewhat outrageous rules.Because, they all know a legend in the Noire Region...

The middle-aged man looked at the gradually calming crowd with satisfaction, coughed a few times, and scanned the circle with sharp eyes. Subtle fighting energy fluctuations began to surround his body, silently telling his strength.After a while, Fang Cai said to the boy in front of him in a deep voice, "Then, let's start, name and identity."

"Xiao Yibai." As soon as the man's voice fell, the young man at the top quickly replied, but he didn't say anything for a while.This situation caused the crowd behind to cast their gazes involuntarily, thinking to themselves, maybe this young man is here to find fault.

Xiao Yibai blinked, and was silent for a moment. After the middle-aged man cast his eyes on him helplessly again, he said helplessly, "Identity... um...Can I be a Canaan College student?"

Hearing this, the helpless expression of the middle-aged man suddenly became suspicious, and the pen in his hand also stopped because of this.Slowly staring at the handsome young man in front of him, he continued to ask, "You said, are you a student of this academy?"

"En." Xiao Yibai nodded, facing the dozen or so eyes staring at him in unison, thought for a while, and continued to reply without changing his face, "I asked for leave at the beginning, and the tutor was Ruolin. She should remember."

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, put the pen aside casually, then looked thoughtfully at the young man in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he noticed that the latter was always smiling faintly.This style of painting really doesn't match the black corner domain.

As if remembering something, the middle-aged man finally squinted his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table, and said meaningfully, "So it was you, what about Xiao Yan?"

Hearing those two unusually familiar words, Xiao Yibai was startled, and then replied hesitantly, "He should be coming soon." Xiao Yan, he, hasn't he come yet?Putting away the doubts in his heart, Xiao Yibai asked with a smile.

"Can I ask, why did you say that it was you?"

Thinking of some things he had heard before, the indifference on the face of the middle-aged man finally faded.He chuckled lightly, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the archives first." Thinking about these things that happened in the academy with some emotion, the man added to the young man who was following him.

"As for why I know you, it's because of the two influential figures in the academy, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei. The two of them, tsk tsk, are goddess-like existences in many people's hearts, so naturally some people try to find out about you. Their affairs, and you and they are both members of the same family, so... What's more, you took two years off as soon as you asked, and it was slowly passed on, Xiao Yibai, where are you? Canaan College is quite famous."

The man said jokingly, took Xiao Yibai out of this place, walked towards the interior of Heping Town, ignored the surprised eyes of the people around him, stopped in front of a gate, pushed the gate open, and said .

"Okay, here we are."

Xiao Yibai followed the pace of the middle-aged man with his usual expression. When he heard the names of the two girls from the man's mouth, he suddenly had a feeling as if he had passed away.It was true that he hadn't seen them for a long time.

It seems... a lot of things have changed a lot...

Recalling the girl who was like a green lotus in his memory, Xiao Yibai suddenly smiled lightly.

After laughing, Xiao Yibai looked down at his chest inexplicably, why... he felt a little uncomfortable...

Even though this smile appeared inadvertently, it made the middle-aged man pause slightly. He looked at the young man strangely, muttered something to himself, and searched for the information again.

"Well, that's right, you are indeed a student of this academy." The middle-aged man nodded, put the file bag in his hand where it was originally, and the smile on his face became more and more kind.As the tutor of Canaan College, the middle-aged man's attitude towards the disciples of his own college will naturally be much more friendly.Thinking of the dangers encountered in the process of going to the academy, he said kindly again.

"How about I let someone drive a griffin to drive you directly to the city of Canaan?"

"Then I will trouble you." Nodding lightly, Xiao Yibai set his sights on the middle-aged man, smiled politely at the latter, and took the badge that proved he was a Canaan College student from the man.

The man waved his hand indifferently, shouted to the outside, and gave simple instructions to the two people.

……

"Brother Yibai, did you pass through the Black Corner Region by yourself?" A young man in his twenties asked the boy sitting beside him, with some doubts in his tone, but more It's clear.

It is an undoubted question for him whether this weak-looking young man can pass through the dangerous black-horned area.

Hearing this, Xiao Yibai was silent for a moment, shook his head, and then replied in a normal tone, "No." After he finished speaking, he looked at Najie with some meaning, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

The young man didn't notice Xiao Yibai's subtle actions, but continued to say, "That's right, it's not an easy task to go through the black corner area alone. But..."

The young man took a deep breath of the air in the sky, looked at the scene underground, and said something to the people beside him in a brisk tone.

There was a lot of talking.

The sky in Heping Town has always been calm, and the people living here will always see the griffin waving its wide wings and heading away into the distance from time to time.

……

In front of the gate of Canaan College, there is a spacious street paved with bluestone. There is a turbulent flow of people on the street, and these people's eyes will more or less stay on the college that contains a simple atmosphere.

At this time, in front of the academy, with the sound of footsteps gradually coming, a group of dark crowd was rushing out of the academy.

It is not difficult to see that these people are surrounded by a woman.

A beautiful woman.

The woman's three thousand blue hair was casually draped around her waist, and her fair face was charming, but it didn't make people feel gaudy. There was no emotion in her eyes that should be at this age, just like a pool of stagnant water. It won't make waves because of anything.But it unexpectedly made people feel a sense of peace in their hearts, as if she didn't see the people around her.Just walked in silence.

After noticing a certain figure, the direction the woman was heading suddenly turned around, ignoring the suspicious eyes around her, the woman walked up to a young man in a green robe, and a voice like a silver bell slowly filled the air, "Yi Bai Cousin, you are here."

Xiao Yibai raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him who was somewhat different from his memory. After noticing the complexity in her eyes, he rolled his eyes, just nodded his head plainly, and said with a smile, "Cousin Xiao Mei, long time no see."

The woman nodded, and looked straight at Xiao Yibai. After a long time, her lips moved slightly, and a soft, almost inaudible voice sounded. bitter.

That kind, after a long period of mental activity, contains the owner's very strong feelings...

"You know, she likes you, but I... don't like you..."

The author has something to say: I just found out today that the idiom of smiling is usually only used on women TAT
