Rebirth Curve Siege

"Hey, apprentice, did anyone in the academy ask you to participate in the academy competition?" Professor Liu poured himself a cup of tea, lowered his head and took a sip, and asked.

"College competition? Is it the competition between the two countries?" I was a little uncertain, but seeing the teacher nodding, I continued: "I have done it before, but I am only a reserve member, so there is no hope."

Professor Liu pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then sighed for a long time, "I never won this hope by myself."

What he said was so meaningful that I had to savor the meaning carefully.

"Apprentice, I know you are talented and willing to work hard, but in this world, you can't control your own destiny like this. Some things happen as they happen. We can't talk about them or watch them."

When I heard his words, some cold sweat started to break out on my back, and I couldn't help thinking, could it be that the master knew what I did?I struggled for a while, but I was still not sure, so I thought about it and answered: "Yes, there are indeed some things that can't be helped."

"I heard people say that you have a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Mu family?" Professor Liu said in a deep voice.

"Well, it's good." I said that deliberately, neither seeming close nor distant.

"The little girl of the Mu family killed the members of the family. Although such a thing is cruel, it is still understandable based on her previous experience. It seems that His Majesty is also considering this, so he is planning to let the prince engage her." Professor Liu pretended to look at me inadvertently, but his eyes stayed on my face for a long time. His eyes were cloudy due to his age, but they still shone with wisdom.

How can it be?Yujun...I grasped the hand holding the teacup tightly, and my heart twitched, "How...how is it possible? Yujun won't be engaged to the prince."

My thoughts were suddenly entangled with hemp rope, but I kept a decent smile on my face, and said that sentence again in my mouth, as if confirming something, "Yujun won't be engaged to the prince?" .”

Professor Liu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his eyes darkened, his expression was a little strange but he seemed to understand something, "Apprentice, Your Majesty, he is not such an easy-going person. He is a Mingjun. During these hundreds of years, He is the only one who can be called Mingjun."

I lowered my head respectfully, my fair cheeks, good-looking eyebrows, half hidden in the light and shadow, my voice was incomprehensible, "Master, I don't understand what you mean."

Professor Liu's eyes moved away from my face and fell into a corner, but his eyes seemed to penetrate that place and extend far away. "If you kill one person and tens of millions of people say you didn't kill someone, then no matter how conclusive the evidence is, it will be full of loopholes. Many times, if you tell a lot of lies, it becomes true."

"Your Majesty has been in power for dozens of years, and you can get such an evaluation. Can you imagine the heaviness behind it?"

I clenched my fists, closed my eyes and opened them suddenly, the voice was so restrained that I could hardly utter a complete sentence, "I understand, teacher...but... Yujun is to me... how can I lose her?"

Professor Liu stood up, his face was full of tiredness, he patted me on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Apprentice, some things can be solved with a hard heart, think about it carefully." He walked out of the office , closed the door, and then there was a sound of locking.

I looked sadly at the direction he left, and there was a raging lackluster in my mind, but I persisted, and I tried to contact Yujun by turning on the holographic watch, but I couldn't send a message, and the signal in the house was blocked up.

My eyelids became heavier and darker, my vision went dark, and I fell into a deep sleep with my head on the table.

Outside the door:

Professor Li waited there for a long time, when he saw Professor Liu came out, he quickly pulled his clothes and asked, "Hey, old man, how is Mo Xian?"

Professor Liu sighed heavily when he heard the words, looked back at the closed door with some pity, and then said in a low voice: "That girl really has an affair with the Mu family's daughter, but His Majesty wants the prince to get engaged to the Mu family's daughter, this matter , who can resist? I will lock her here now to save her from doing stupid things."

Professor Li sighed for a while, then grabbed Professor Liu's hair, and said excitedly, "You old man won't just beat mandarin ducks so well? You just let things go like this? What if Mo Xian gets too sad at that time? , see if she still recognizes you as a master."

Professor Liu slapped his hand off, covered his head and shivered with pain, "I know, I know, I just wanted to ask you to come with me to meet His Majesty, it's okay to sell this old face for the sake of my apprentice, I just don’t know if His Majesty is willing to accept our face.”

"Hey, never mind, a glimmer of hope is better than nothing, walk around, what are you still doing here in a daze, move quickly." Professor Li tore off the goggles on his head and threw them aside, urging.

After their figures left, a skinny black figure looked at and opened the door of the office. He walked in, and when he saw the sleeping person, the corners of his mouth curled into a gentle arc.

He stood beside me and stared at my sleeping face for a long time. After a long time, a hoarse and magnetic voice slowly said: "Xiao, the duel between us has begun. Can you turn the tables?" As if thinking of something, I stretched out my fingertips and touched the back of my head slightly.

The little red mark disappeared in an instant.

In the inner chamber of the Supreme Power Building:

A man in a well-fitting black tailored suit sat on the first seat, with his hands crossed on the table, his handsome and stern face slightly raised, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and a gentle smile on his mouth, "Professor Liu , Professor Li, why are you here? Please sit down."

Professor Liu and Professor Li looked at each other. Professor Liu took a slight step forward and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, we are here today..."

"Sit." Just halfway through the words, the emperor interrupted him.Professor Liu paused, raised his head slightly and glanced at His Majesty, then walked two steps forward with downcast eyes and sat on the chair.
