Gu Fangyan woke up in a daze many times at night, and the last time he was awakened by freezing, Gu Fangyan reached out to slap the mosquito that stopped on his arm, but he pounced.

He found them parked on a very empty highway, and in the distance, several barren rocks were faintly visible in the dark wilderness, and the clear moon hung high in the night sky, casting a shadow on the barren land.

The driver's door was open, and the cool evening breeze poured into the car, and Cheng Xinuo leaned against the body, holding a can of Red Bull in his hand.

It looked like she had been here for a long time, the streetlights on either side of the highway were far apart, and the sporadic lights stretched forward intermittently, making the seemingly endless darkness less lonely.

"Awake?" Cheng Xinuo glanced back at him. Her figure was slender as a willow in the bleak moonlight, and she wore a light-colored jacket that had been pulled out of nowhere, the cuffs of which were folded to her elbows. The evening breeze lifted the corners of her clothes, and she was chic like a heroine.

Gu Fangyan moved his neck, his cervical spine made a crunching sound, he looked up to the sky and yawned before lowering the window next to him. After the interior of the car was ventilated, the surrounding temperature turned sharply, and the cold wind blowing in his face made him shiver.

"Where are we now?" he asked.

Cheng Xinuo smiled at him, "It's still early, it's still early, let's sleep for a while." ”

However, at this moment, Gu Fangyan was no longer sleepy, and he took out the only remaining can of Red Bull in the armrest box, "Sister Xinuo, how long will we arrive?"

"It's not interesting for you to go so early. Cheng Xinuo jumped into the car and closed the door, "It just so happened that I showed you something, but I forgot to give it to you before." ”

She leaned back into her seat, and moments later fumbled for an invitation-like invitation. The exterior is sealed with black kraft paper, and the edges of the invitation are framed with dark gold lace patterns, and an iron gold triangle pattern is located in the center of the invitation, which looks very forced.

Gu Fangyan hesitated to take the invitation letter, and after opening it, he found that the invitation contained a notice with a booklet attached.

"If you have time, you can flip through it and take a slow look, it will take a little more effort to understand our place. Cheng Xinuo said.

"I'm pretty much rested, keep going, and I'll take you for a ride tomorrow. She propped up her waist and stretched her waist vigorously, Gu Fangyan couldn't help but glance at it secretly. Even if it is just a hazy silhouette in the moonlight, every stretching curve on Cheng Xinuozhou's body can be reminiscent of a slowly blooming moon flower.

The car's engine roared as it restarted, pushing forward at breakneck speed in the evening breeze.

…………

Daomeng Branch.

In the afternoon, the teaching room is always very relaxed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows attract sunlight from the outside world without reservation, illuminating the whole room.

No one can find even the slightest sense of seriousness in what appears to be an office-sized executive section...... A sandalwood desk with pottery and tea utensils, as well as an elegant wood carving of an antelope, a baroque décor spar chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and marble tiles are spotless in the sun.

There was a crisp knock on the door, and the instructor Chen Jingkang took a sip of Pu'er tea in his hand and slowly closed the book on the table.

"Please come in. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Chenxuan pushed the door and entered.

"Oh, isn't this my special student. Chen Jingkang immediately showed a smiling expression to welcome.

Ling Chenxuan had obviously just finished his physical training, wearing a thin sportswear, sweat seeping out of his clothes, and a towel around his neck.

"If you don't go back to the dormitory to sleep for a while at noon, aren't you afraid of heat stroke after training at such a high intensity?" Chen Jingkang looked at his students a little helplessly, he was such a treasure, if he got sick again, he would become the only unemployed person in the branch.

"I'll adjust the amount of training appropriately. Ling Chenxuan said slowly.

"What are you looking for me?" Chen Jingkang rubbed his hands, he was still puzzled by Ling Chenxuan's sudden visit.

Ling Chenxuan raised his eyes and looked at the book on the desk, it turned out to be a detective novel written by a third-rate writer, including the tea sets that were placed just right, and in his impression his instructor always seemed to be very idle. Ling Chenxuan always hoped that he could recruit a few more students to share his extra time, but the other party seemed to be quite enjoying this leisure, and the entire bookshelf behind him was filled with novels purchased from the library.

"Have the results of the Spirit Controlling Knife I brought back from Wucheng come out before?" Ling Chenxuan said.

"Yes, the superior said that the long knife was indeed the ancestral knife that was lost by the headquarters six years ago. Chen Jingkang was silent for a while, "What are you asking for?"

"Just curious. Ling Chenxuan was relieved and dealt with casually.

"Will the headquarters take back the ancestral sword?" Ling Chenxuan's face did not change, and he looked at Chen Jingkang calmly.

"I don't know, but it's useless to keep that knife here, at most it's enshrined for the students to look at on the holidays. Chen Jingkang explained blandly, and poured a little tea into the teapot in an elegant manner.

"Hasn't the headquarters given any explanation for the inexplicable loss of the ancestral knife so far?" Ling Chenxuan still refused to give up.

"Alas......" Chen Jingkang sighed silently, in his eyes, Ling Chenxuan's child is good, but it is easy to do things, and sometimes it is really not a good thing to be too stubborn.

From the day he served as Ling Chenxuan's exclusive instructor, he had carefully browsed this student's personal file, and the file records about Ling Chenxuan's past experiences were actually not detailed, and he could only guess what happened to this child from just a few words.

Everyone is different, and it is difficult for him to truly feel Ling Chenxuan's mental journey, so he can only try to observe it from his usual life. In the eyes of many students in the branch, Ling Chenxuan is a very strange person, with a lonely whereabouts, not good at communication, and very few friends. To sum it up, it's not very popular.

In the eyes of others, Ling Chenxuan is a very boring person, except for his days off, he is more diligent than anyone else in cleaning tasks every day, and has created a historical record of completing three C+-level tasks and one B-level task in a row in one day, which is even more desperate than the desperate Saburo.

Such a well-known executive freak, his only hobby is actually puzzles, Ling Chenxuan's favorite thing to do in his spare time is to put together all kinds of puzzles, he once locked himself in the dormitory all day, just to put together a gleaner puzzle three feet long and wide. According to him, puzzles can exercise brain power, and there is no shortage of hobbies to cultivate sentiment.

But as long as you imagine that the violent maniac who always carries the scabbard and kills ghosts without blinking, there will also be a side of pinching the pieces of the puzzle and contemplating, and always feel that life is very disillusioned and fucked.

There may always be a dark corner in Ling Chenxuan's heart, empty and dusty. Those unbearable pasts were stubbornly blocked by him, and the key to unlocking the lock had been lost for a long time, so long that he even forgot about it.

"Your question is a little too old, six years ago I was as young as you and didn't know a lot about what was going on at headquarters. Chen Jingkang spread his hands helplessly, saying that he was kept in the dark by the upper echelons like him.

Ling Chenxuan's pupils dimmed imperceptibly for a moment, but he didn't ask any more, because he knew that no matter how much he asked, it would be useless, and the instructor would not answer.

People in the world often say that people should do their duty within the scope of their own actions, and it is not pleasing to do things that cross the line. In terms of yang blood concentration, he is only a medium exorcist, and exorcists of this level are all over the school, what can he change by himself?

But I'm still a little unwilling...... Since the blood quality level of the exorcist has been determined from the beginning, what can you prove even if you try hard and desperately improve your strength, maybe you can't cut off the target after 10,000 training swings, and those exorcists who are higher than you can easily do it with a wave of their hand. He gambled his life and failed to break through the general's defense, but Luo Fan, who was a high-level exorcist, was able to raise his sword and roar angrily, wanting to cut off the king's head.

Therefore, the highest privilege task he can perform as an exorcist can only stop at the A+ level, and he will never be able to access the S-level crusade tasks higher than the A-level, and the target of the crusade is the king general.

"Ling Chenxuan?" Chen Jingkang tapped his fingers on the table, "Do you have anything else?"

"It's okay. Ling Chenxuan lowered his eyes and turned to leave.

…………

In the afternoon, there was hardly any figure in the pedestrian square, Ling Chenxuan slowly walked down the layers of stone steps, and behind him was the main teaching building of the Daomeng Branch, which was entrenched in the center of the entire branch, looking solemn and magnificent from a distance.

Chen Jingkang's private teaching room is located in that building, and Ling Chenxuan often wonders if the insiders who are responsible for arranging the work of the instructors have made a mistake, and will deliberately vacate a space in the main teaching building to raise an idler.

As Chen Jingkang's only special student, the latter naturally poured all his energy and effort into Ling Chenxuan, but he often felt uncomfortable with this kind of almost aptitude of attention. He also raised his opinion on this, but was always rejected by his superiors.

Ling Chenxuan sat down the steps, the sunlight at the moment was extremely brilliant and dazzling, and a row of tall and burly cypress trees beside the main road cast a long shadow on the ground. And he sat alone in the shade of the trees, the breeze blowing through the trees, and the dappled silvery white light and shadow swaying at his feet.

The sound of birdsong in my ears is pleasant, like wind chimes swaying lightly.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he pulled his phone out of his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it.

…………

On the suburban highways, dark blue Mercedes sports cars outpaced one car after another. The sign next to the highway reads "53 kilometers away from Beicheng", and Gu Fangyan stared blankly at the lush mountains and forests in the distance.

Cheng Xinuo swung the steering wheel with ease, the light-colored jacket she was wearing fluttered in the wind, and her long hair rose and fell with the wind.

The sports car was running fast with light smoke on the unobstructed highway, Gu Fangyan was frightened, and thought that the temperament of the girl who was really good at driving fast cars was different, and it was so cool that it was boundless. He still vaguely remembers Cheng Xinuo saying that he doesn't like driving...... But once you hold the steering wheel, it's like a wild horse getting off the leash, and it's unstoppable.

Maybe in Cheng Xinuo's eyes, this speed is not enjoyable at all, and she is even leisurely chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Gu Fangyan believes that if there is no speed limit here, she should not hesitate to step on the accelerator to the end, leaving everything behind like a charging knight.

Gu Fangyan secretly glanced in the rearview mirror, and he saw Cheng Xinuo with a happy smile on his face, still so heartless, showing his small tiger teeth, and even the tips of his hair were painted with a layer of soft gold edges.

Her clear and bright eyes reflected the clouds and shadows of the lush mountains and forests on both sides of the road, the asphalt-colored luber road reflected silver in the afternoon sun, and the warm wind mixed with the mist continued to pour into the valley, and they had just overtaken a few cars without difficulty.

It turns out that this is a ride, Gu Fangyan never thought that he would one day go to the unknown distance in such a way...... It's like a dream.
