Artifact Smuggling Specialist

On the day Zuo Lan returned to the Ninth Soul Academy, an organization called "Lan Hui" was formally established, and at the same time, there was also a "Lan City" that would surpass the three major black market auctions in Soul Continent in the future.

The Ninth Soul Academy is in the middle of the whole Nine Cities. Zuo Lan has already dealt with some matters of the Lanhui. Now, the Lanhui is still in the early stage of preparation. So there is plenty of time to prepare.

After all, cross-regional trade is a big deal, and what he does is not legal, and his strength seems to be weak.

The things stolen from Xue Liu, the throne, were transferred by Zuo Lan and divided into several batches and sent to major auctions, and some of them were given to Lan Hui to open his own auction and black market, and held the first auction in Lan City Yes, very profitable.

Zuo Qiu, as the person in charge, did not ask about the source of the goods, but recently, the ghost communication platform notified that the caravan of Emperor Xue Liu mysteriously disappeared at the junction of the Northwest Ninth Soul Academy area and the Central Plains First Soul Academy area. news, and later, ten of them appeared intact in other regions of the mainland, such as the Second Soul Academy in the East, and even the First Soul Academy in the Central Plains.

But the remaining direct descendant who brought the goods was miserable. When he was discovered, he was in the ancestral hall of Xue Liu, the throne. It is said that a headless corpse fell from the sky and landed on the altar in front of the ancestral hall, throwing a piece of flesh and blood Blurred, the scene made the beholder look sideways, with a sinful excess of violence.As for the head, it has not been found so far, but looking at the clothing, it is indeed the direct descendant who brought the goods, and now it has ended up without a head, and there is no one left in the body, which makes people feel panic.

When Xue Chongshi heard the news, he had already arrived at the square in front of the Ninth Soul Academy. He was holding a small golden horn in his hand, and was listening to the news broadcast inside. Combining the location where the car appeared and the location where the three surviving people were found, the teleportation range of Zuo Lan's teleportation array was quickly deduced.

Zuo Lan stopped under the archway and yawned: "Did you figure it out?"

Xue Chong released his hands and put away the small speaker, "Almost."

He actually knew that he was guessing the teleportation range of the teleportation array.

"Now I suddenly thought of a very serious problem. You said that you have obtained a license from the first soul academy, and you can study in any of the nine soul academy, but——you are the one pursued by Xue Liu, the throne. This Is the charter still valid?"

When Xue Chongshi wanted to come with him before, he asked how to get in, but Xue Chongshi said that he had a license, so Zuo Lan wanted to knock on Xue Chongshi's head to see what was inside. What is it, now that he asks, it suddenly becomes complicated, if Xue Chongshi's qualification becomes invalid...

Xue Zhongshi shook his head, "It won't be invalidated, because I didn't get this license from the Queen's family. The relationship between the Soul Academy and the Queen's family is not very strong, not to mention - this qualification is not from the soul. I got it from the hospital."

Shit, it's a bit of a joke to say something.

Zuo Lan was a little speechless, "Can I finish talking at once?"

"It's not good at all to say something." Xue Chongshi folded his hands behind his back. He looked like a child, but he was old-fashioned. "You forgot that I had a blood contract in the first place."

"What about the blood contract—"

Zuo Lan's words were suddenly cut off halfway, because he suddenly remembered that the blood contract - it was a contract signed between humans and gods.

He silently looked at Xue Chongshi, but Xue Chongshi just kept silent, pulled his big pink sleeves, and said, "Let's go."

His chartered qualifications naturally come from the gods, or the spokespersons of the gods-those servants of the gods.

But these words can't be said to Zuo Lan, although Zuo Lan seems to know something from the performance just now, but he didn't say it, so nothing will happen.

Passing under the archway again, the huge octagonal square seems to be shining brightly forever. The two figures of him and Xue Chongshi are so small against the background, slowly like two Ants, across the square.

This is the second time he has entered the Ninth Soul Institute. The previous time he left seemed to be too long. The last time he came was the beginning of the semester, but now it is the end of the term.

There is an inspection office under the archway. A light curtain appeared when Zuo Lan approached. He took out his courtyard card, and after injecting his soul power, a ray of light emitted from the courtyard card and merged into the light curtain. With a flick, Zuo Lan walked over without hindrance at all.

Outside of the start of school and some special times, you cannot enter without a courtyard card.

He stood inside the archway and looked at Xue Chongshi outside. Under his gaze, Xue Chongshi didn't do anything and walked over directly.

To Zuo Lan's surprise, he did nothing, and neither did the light curtain.

It was as if Xue Chongshi didn't exist, or - to Xue Chongshi, the light curtain seemed to not exist, he just walked through it like that, and the light curtain remained the same.

After they walked away, the entire light curtain disappeared again.

Zuo Lan was speechless, looked at Xue Chongshi like a monster, and suddenly said, "Hasn't your blood contract been lifted?"

"The blood contract is lifted, but the mark is still there." Xue Zhongshi replied simply.

Then Zuo Lan touched his chin and said something that made Xue Chongshi want to vomit blood: "Oh, that means that in the future, if it's time to rob you and go to the Soul Academy, you can go in quietly."

"..." Can he say "no"?

After Zuo Lan finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked as he walked, "Is Chongyu also carrying a blood contract?"

"Why do you ask like that?" Xue Chongshi didn't want to answer.

"It's just a question. If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Zuo Lan shrugged, wrapped his fingers around the tassels hanging on the courtyard sign, and wandered halfway, looking leisurely.

Xue Zhongshi thought for a while and said, "The throne is Chongyili, Chongyu and Chongli may be both, but most of the royal family has only one direct descendant who will sign a blood contract with the gods, and the possibility of both being both is unlikely."

If this is the case, it will be troublesome.

Zuo Lan now feels that the blood contract is a terrible thing, especially after seeing Xue Chongshi's strength.In the secret realm back then, Xue Chongshi's strength was the most outstanding. Although the Chongli who appeared later, although he had not seen his attack completely, he knew that he must be extraordinary. palm, his cultivation has dropped, but even so, when he attacked him later, that method was admirable.

After carefully considering these things, Zuo Lan suddenly thought of a very important question: "What's the matter with your cultivation?"

He clearly felt that Xue Chongshi's cultivation speed was very fast, but his realm never rose, and he was always at the lowest level of soul-opening realm. He was a "soul disciple". It's very slow, but it's not like Xue Chongshi, who consumes an astonishing number of soul crystals every day and draws countless soul powers. The realm stops at the soul opening as if he was dead, and there will never be a trace of breakthrough.

Xue Zhongshi was not in a hurry, Zuo Lan was in a hurry for him.

"Practice slowly, I still have the imprint of the blood contract in my body, so you see that sometimes I have this body and sometimes that body, it is because the seal of the blood contract planted at the beginning is still left."

"Will there be any impact?" Zuo Lan was suddenly worried.

Xue Zhong explained: "There won't be any for the time being."

……

I really don't know how Xue Chongshi can survive to this day.

The hidden danger of his body must be quite big, but Xue Zhongshi said that he is not in a hurry, what kind of heart is he thinking?

If Xue Chongshi were to die, his pen of Soul Crystal would probably fall into his pocket in the end, so he would die if he died...

Zuo Lan thought so, but felt that it was too mean to think so.Although they are just collaborators who each get what they need, Xue Chongshi is after all...

Who is it?

Zuo Lan suddenly didn't know.

The two of them were silent all the way. After walking for a long time, they could already see the buildings in front of them. There were students coming and going on the road. Zuo Lan had disappeared for a long time. Many people remembered those funny mainland history lessons. However, the impression of Zuo Lan is fading with the passage of time. Moreover, near the end of the term, the atmosphere in the Ninth Soul Institute is very heavy. The end of the term means exams. With endless pain.

Everyone is in a hurry, but occasionally someone sees Zuo Lan, and they will shout out in surprise. Of course, some people don't know Zuo Lan. After all, although he is famous, mainland history is still a small second-class elective. class.

"Hello, Tutor Zuo Lan."

"Wow, Tutor Zuo Lan is back!!!"

"God, he's back, he's a genius!"

……

When he walked to a crowded place, Zuo Lan suddenly found that his popularity was not low.

He didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that about half a year ago, he was widely spread by the ghost communication platform under the name of waste wood in the soul array test, and later there was a fierce teaching of mainland history, Known as "the most engaging mentor in history" by the students of the Ninth Academy, Zuo Lan also made a splash as the spokesperson of Lincang, the emperor of Tianyuan, after the incident of the secret realm of the Soul Realm in the Northwest Ninth Soul Academy area, and later he was safe. After returning, he also broke through the realm of soul master at a crazy speed, and immediately became a topic figure on several ghost communication platforms. That kind of cultivation speed can only be compared with the current Emperor of Daybreak Chongyan.

So Zuo Lan is now a celebrity.

However, walking to the back, Zuo Lan suddenly wanted to laugh.

Because the surrounding sounds have become like this——

"Who is that little doll, a ball of pink, God, so cute..."

"Hey, hey, look, such a small child is still expressionless, and the contrast is cute?"

"Where is it cute?"

"Wow, look at that little Douding, he looked over, is he looking at me?"

"What little Douding, it sounds awful!"

"Flour dumpling..."

"Why do I feel that the child's eyes are particularly unfriendly?"

"Go to hell."

"What's the relationship between him and Zuo Lan? Is there such a person in our Ninth Soul Academy? It seems that he is not old enough to enroll."

"There is a disease in this world called dwarfism..."

……

Zuo Lan hurriedly pressed Xue Chongshi's shoulder next to him, and coughed twice: "This is the Ninth Soul Academy, not a secret place where you don't have to take responsibility for killing people. I know you really want to kill people now, but for your own future and happiness, you Just be patient, I suggest you change your clothes and go out to kill at night, so the chance of being discovered will be smaller."

Xue Chongshi wanted to spray him in the face.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he forced himself to calm down. In fact, he also encountered this kind of emotion in the first soul academy before, but the first soul academy was full of monsters and lunatics, who looked very different from him. There are not a few people who are one or two years old but already eighteen or nineteen years old, and some are even blind.

He still walked with Zuo Lan, but he said something that made the whole Ninth Soul Academy jump up and attack him: "I finally know why the Ninth Soul Academy is the Ninth Soul Academy."

Zuo Lan was powerless, "You are also a member of the Ninth Soul Academy now. Speaking of which, there will be a pre-selection for the Soul Academy Grand Competition in two days, that is, the small competition in the Academy. Even if you are a new student, you have to participate. Do you want to enter? ?"

"Go." Xue Chongshi replied without thinking.

Zuo Lan was surprised by his rare straightforwardness: "Why do you want to go all of a sudden?"

"Little Bi in the courtyard will have the opportunity to beat down those who spoke just now."

Zuo Lan: ...

Can you give me another weird reason?

"Then if you pass the small competition, you may be selected to participate in the soul academy competition when you are selected again, and then you will go to the first soul academy." Zuo Lan reminded him.

However, Xue Zhongshi had to remind him in turn: "You are now in the realm of a soul master. There are many people in this realm on the entire continent, even as many as a cow's hair. It is unlikely to break through to the realm of fusion equipment in a short period of time and become Soul master. In the realm of soul master, you can choose to graduate. You can pass the final exam of this period, or you can stay in school until you break through to the fusion device and become a soul master. There are two choices. If you choose the former, then You also have to participate in the Soul Academy at the end of this term."

Zuo Lan is very aware of these rules of the Soul Academy, and he originally planned to do so.But for the Ninth Soul Academy, Xue Chongshi is obviously a layman.Zuo Lan smiled and said: "As a student, my final grade for this semester will be a failing grade. Even if I can pass the exam, I will be on the blacklist because I hardly attend classes. There is no record of my class attendance in the college's class accounting system , so if I want to pass this semester's grades, I have to be blacklisted and then go to complete some tasks in the Soul Academy. The timing of your entry into the Ninth Soul Academy is not coincidental, just like mine."

Xue Chongshi didn't expect that the Ninth Soul Academy still had such rules, and he just felt overwhelmed when he thought about the exams.

In the First Soul Academy, there is almost no such thing as an exam, because the First Soul Academy is a very dangerous place, the identities of the students are all kinds of strange things, and the relationship between each other is even more complicated. The Soul Academy will not interfere with the students Grudges and grievances, people often die in the soul academy, but the soul academy doesn't care, just let the students solve it privately.

This is the first time he has seen the Ninth Soul Academy.

Just as he was about to speak, Zuo Lan over there suddenly stopped and reached out to flip over the courtyard sign, "Duan Kunlun?"

He stood there for a while, then concentrated and sent a message, telling Duan Kunlun that he would be going to the hospital office soon, but turned around and explained to Xue Chong: "Have you figured out which hospital you are going to?"

Zuo Lan knew that Xue Chongshi was of the water attribute, so logically he should go to the Water Academy, but——Chongyu was also of the water attribute.

In other words, if Xue Chongshi joined the Water Academy, he would definitely meet Chongyu.

It will be wonderful then.

Originally intriguing in the secret realm, but after she came out, she still had to study in an academy...

"I know what you want to say. Is Chongyu, the Emperor Chongyi, also in that academy? I just want to meet him." Xue Chongshi was very calm.

Zuo Lan was not calm anymore, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Now I find that you are a war element."

Xue Chongshi ignored his words, but said: "I want to live with you."

Zuo Lan thought for a while, and said: "The place where I live is Heyuan, and there is still room. I will tell Brother Kunlun later, it should be fine."

As he talked, he passed by a bunch of associations. Xue Chongshi saw these things for the first time, "I don't believe that I can't kill the Cook Association", "Datong Association", "Mei Ziqing Fan Club"... There are even "Five Emperors Research Institute", he glimpsed "Zuo Lan Fan Club" sharply inside, and that idea came up again - the Ninth Soul Academy is really just the Ninth Soul Academy.

Zuo Lan snorted, "I've never seen the world..."

Xue Chong explained: ...

When he saw the office of a college without a college, Xue Zhongshi's heart of not admitting that he had never seen the world, suddenly disappeared.

"Looking at this dilapidated building, I believe that you must really want to kneel to this courtyard like I did back then—but now is not the time to kneel, and it won't be too late to kneel when you enter."

Zuo Lan patted Xue Chongshi's shoulder, as if he had come here.

Then the gate of the courtyard office was pushed open by Zuo Lan, and the threshold below was still missing a piece. It was kicked away by Xi Yulin at the beginning, and it hadn't been installed yet.

I haven't seen you for half a semester, and the weeds are overgrown again...

At this time, it seemed that a flock of crows flew over the heads of Zuo Lan and Xue Chongshi.

As the mentor of the Ninth Soul Academy, Zuo Lan still has to contribute to the image of the Ninth Soul Academy.

"Actually, only the Wu Academy is like this, and the other academies are old and fat."

……

In short, Xue Chongshi suddenly felt that the first soul academy was heaven.

Duan Kunlun was sitting on the steps outside the courtyard office, lazily basking in the sun, yawning, seeing that Zuo Lan had finally arrived, he finally cheered up and responded: "Here we are, I thought you were going to abandon him too. There is no academy and me..."

... I just came here, can you stop saying such deadly things?

"Yo, here's a newcomer?" Duan Kunlun actually knew that Zuo Lan had brought someone here, and there was also a record of entry and exit under the archway of the college. He recognized this little doll in pink clothes, "Xue Chongshi, Xue Liu, the throne. "

Xue Chongshi looked at Duan Kunlun coldly: "It's Xue Chongshi, not the throne Xue Liu."

Duan Kunlun smiled, his eyes flashed, "That's right. Zuo Lan, you have to solve your final exam by yourself. If you want to graduate, you must participate in this year's soul academy mission. People from the previous class are already participating The graduation exam is over, and for the next four years, there will only be people from your class."

Until the last half year, there will be a new class of people coming in, and they will also be seniors for half a year. Of course, it will be a different matter if they repeat the grade.

The essence of the mission of the Soul Academy is cheating.

Zuo Lan was speechless.

Discussed the details of the exam with Duan Kunlun, and then learned from him that Mu Zheqing and Wei Qing had been transferred.

Only Xi Yulin and Jiang Cuoming are still there, but they have a lot of freedom, and it is said that they are often not in the Soul Academy.

It seems that everyone is busy these days.

When leaving the academy office, Zuo Lan felt a little sad, there were only three people left without the academy.

He gave Xue Chongshi a map and asked him to handle the reporting. When Xue Chongshi was about to leave, he asked, "Aren't you a road idiot?"

Xue Chongshi looked at him calmly for a long time, then threw a Snow Condensation Soul Technique over, and a heavy snow ball appeared out of thin air and landed on Zuo Lan's head, smashing his face.

"idiot."

This was Xue Chongshi's contemptuous voice.

After Zuo Lan wiped off the snow foam all over his face stiffly, he saw that there was no one in front of him.

A palm was pressed on his shoulder suddenly, he frowned and turned his head, suddenly felt a trembling feeling all over his body.

"Hehe... Zuo Lan, you finally appeared..."

Xue Lan, who was dressed in a strange dress, squinted her eyes, covered the lower half of her face with a small paper fan, and said in a drawn-out voice, pinching her throat.

Zuo Lan's goosebumps fell all over the floor.

Why has it been so long since Xue Lan still has this virtue?

"Xue... Teacher Xue Lan... Hehe, long time no see."

"I really miss you." Xue Lan squinted her eyes and continued to smile, then walked around him twice, "Speaking of which, Teacher Zuo Lan's mainland history this semester is less than [-]% of the required class hours, even if the last one I can't make up the month, and at the end of the semester, I have to accept the inspection of the school's mentor committee, I'm really sorry, I am the chairman of the evaluation committee."

……

Fuck, lie down a big trough! ! !

Zuo Lan was in a mess in the wind, he suddenly felt that he was a bitch, to the extreme!Damn why do you want to come back and suffer this kind of torture!Is the superior of the Ninth Soul Academy sick? ! !Nima's Xue Lan can be the chairman, the evaluation committee must be very, very, very unreliable! ! !

Seeing Zuo Lan's collapsed expression, Xue Lan, who just had the door closed at Duan Kunlun's place, suddenly felt in a good mood, so she patted Zuo Lan's face, laughed and left, "I'm so happy..."

Zuo Lan stood where he was, a cloud of darkness enveloped him.

At that time, he felt that Xue Lan who had just left was like a villain, and wanted him to slap her.

As if feeling Zuo Lan's anger, Dabai poked his head out again, popped out from his shoulder, and made an expression of righteousness and awe-inspiring crusade against traitors, and almost stretched out a hand to gesture left and right...

Actually, Zuo Lan didn't want to say that he was even more speechless when he saw Dabai.

He slapped himself hard on the forehead, turned around, and froze again.

It's endless, it's really endless.

Didn't Qing Puppet just come to the Ninth Soul Academy to have a look?Why do you feel that such an awesome person seems to have been resident in the Ninth Soul Academy?

"Mr. Qing Puppet." Zuo Lan said hello honestly.

A few days ago, I saw Qing Puppet standing upright, but now I saw him sitting in a wheelchair.

He slowly moved a few steps, leaned over, and looked up at Qing Puppet.

Qing Puppet only met him a few days ago, and he didn't feel unfamiliar at this time, so he just asked: "How are you doing recently?"

"I have dealt with some trivial matters, and it went smoothly." Zuo Lan felt that Qing Puppet treated him like an elder treats a junior. He didn't feel any malice, but he didn't feel much kindness either. The overall feeling tended to be flat.

Dabai on Zuo Lan's shoulder shrank immediately after seeing Qing Puppet, without moving at all.

Zuo Lan didn't notice it himself.

The green puppet was silent for a while, and the jade ruler in his hand hit the palm of his hand, which made Zuo Lan's eyes move. He was about to speak, but was snatched away by Zuo Lan: "Sir, Zuo Lan has always wanted to ask a question: who are you?" ?”

Qing Puppet looked at Zuo Lan for a long time, his eyes were deep, he raised his lips, and smiled slightly: "What identity are you asking about?"

"The one with the mask?" Zuo Lan said again.

This point of view is very clear.

The masked person in the secret realm...

Qing Puppet sighed, "Why are you so keen, knowing too much is not good for you."

Zuo Lan suddenly felt that although the man in front of him was famous in the mainland, he was full of hypocrisy.How many of these people he has come into contact with so far do not have their own secrets?

In fact, he didn't mind too much. It was already expected that the green puppet had a secret.

"Then are you Mei Ziqing's spokesperson, or Tian Jia from the First Soul Institute?"

"I'm Mei Ziqing's spokesperson." Qing Puppet said it very easily.

In this way, he revealed his identity.

Zuo Lan shrugged: "Then the one in the cloak is Tianjia."

"The matter of the secret realm is over, so you don't have to think about it. The God Son Dark Flower Lock has a master, and everything is settled. I know you may not have a good impression of me, but I just want to tell you—this time the mission of the soul academy , it can only be completed in the Soul Emperor Palace in the first soul academy area of ​​the Central Plains."

All Zuo Lan's movements were frozen, he raised his eyes and looked at Qing Gui who was sitting in the wheelchair, but Qing Gui stretched out his pale palm with winding blue blood vessels, and touched his head with a soft voice as if Sigh: "Don't shed tears...everything will be fine..."

Then Qing Puppet turned the wheelchair and left, Zuo Lan stood where he was, his eyes widened, his whole body was cold.

After a long time, he smiled coldly at the endless void.

That being the case, then he had to go to the Soul Academy mission.

Xue Chongshi has returned, and he moves very quickly.

Zuo Lan turned his back to him and said, "I'll take you to the lotus garden."
