Chapter 186: The Beginning of Nothing

This is the Smoked Herb Zhai. A young girl in a Confucian shirt with bright eyes and teeth and a neat ponytail arched her hand gently towards Wei Lai, and said so.

Wei Lai bowed his hand to the other party, and when he stopped, he was about to step into the chic courtyard gate in front of him-

Wei Lai and Sun Daren and their entourage have already arrived at the Boundless Academy, which is said to be an academy, but in fact it is more like a city...... A huge city.

After staying in the residence arranged for them by Zhao Tianyan yesterday, early this morning, Zhao Tianyan's junior brother came to look for him according to the plan.

Of course, one of the little surprises was that everyone never thought that the so-called junior brother was actually a girl named Ning Xin.

According to the records in the letter left by Zhao Tianyan, the smoked grass zhai was a newly built courtyard the year before last, in order to receive new students, according to the time when Lu Yan'er and Zhao Tianyan went to Wuya College, Lu Yan'er should have lived here.

Thinking of this, Wei Lai stepped away, but at this time, that Ning Xin suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped in front of Wei Lai.

Wei Lai looked at Ning Xin in a daze and asked, "What does the girl mean?"

"The people living in the smoked grass house are all female students, and His Royal Highness King Wei is going to go in like this?" Ning Xin said coldly, his tone was not good.

In fact, along the way, Ning Xin's dislike for Wei Lai and others was almost written on his face, but Wei Lai had to admit that Ning Xin's reminder was indeed very reasonable. He nodded secretly, looked back at the flowing fire and Ji Huan who had followed all the way, and said, "The two of you will go on a trip for me, and Daren and I will wait at the door." ”

Ji Huanxi heard that he should be his head, and Liuhuo turned his head a little angrily, although he was unwilling, he did not say anything to refuse.

"His Royal Highness King Wei has misunderstood. But at this time, Ning Xin's voice sounded again, and she said: "This is Boundless Academy, King Wei really thinks this place is your Ningzhou, can you act recklessly?"

Wei Lai frowned when he heard this, he looked at Ning Xin and asked, "Before I came, didn't Brother Zhao say that Miss Ning was already ......?"

"He told me. Ning Xin took over the conversation: "But I didn't agree." ”

"Hey!" Sun Daren, who heard this, immediately raised his eyebrows, tied up his sleeves, and stepped forward and said, "I said that you little girl, here to stumble on your grandfather Sun! Do you know what our relationship with Zhao Tianyan is?"

"Of course you know, you're old friends. Ning Xin said calmly: "Senior Brother Zhao is frank and sincere, so he has caused you trouble. The troubles of the past few days have not been resolved, and today I bring you people!"

"A group of you outsiders searched the residence of the disciples of the academy, if this matter spreads, there will definitely be people in the academy who are dissatisfied, not to mention that if they know that Senior Brother Zhao is behind them, it will be even more troublesome!"

"If you also regard Senior Brother Zhao as a friend, you shouldn't cause trouble for him at this juncture!"

When Ning Xin said this, Wei Lai raised his eyebrows, and heard the voice of the other party's words: "Brother Zhao is in trouble?"

Ning Xin, who realized that he was in a hurry, said that he had leaked his mouth, and his face turned red, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what trouble you have, it is not something you can solve." What you have to do is to make less trouble for him! Tell me what the hell you're looking for! I'll go in and help you find it!"

Wei Lai's brows furrowed, and he vaguely realized that maybe Zhao Tianyan was really hiding something from him, and the girl in front of him accidentally revealed it. Wei Lai has always been a grateful person, Zhao Tianyan treats him well, he naturally won't embarrass him, thinking of this, he nodded towards Ning Xin, and then told the other party what he was looking for one by one - ask those female disciples if they knew or heard of Lu Yan'er's name, and said a few things that Lu Yan'er carried, of course, more importantly, in the past half a year, there has been a nameless fire in the courtyard.

Seeing that Wei Lai and the others were not as unreasonable as she imagined, Ning Xin felt a little relieved, and her dissatisfaction with Wei Lai and the others was also put down a lot. She nodded, and after instructing Wei Lai and the others to wait here, she walked into the smoked herb house alone.

About an hour later, Wei Lai and the others finally waited for Ning Xin to come back, and everyone looked forward to it, but Ning Xin shook his head helplessly at everyone, obviously there was no gain from this trip.

Sun Daren saw Wei Lai's loss, hurriedly took out the letter at that time, and said loudly: "It's okay!

The scale of Boundless Academy is huge, and it recruits a large number of students every year, so naturally it is not just a smoked grass house that can be lived, in fact, there are more than ten places to live on the letter that Zhao Tianyan left for Wei Lai.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the next place. Ning Xin probably felt that Wei Lai and the others were reasonable, and their attitude eased a little, so after saying this, she turned around and led everyone to another place.

......

Everyone was busy from early in the morning until evening, and the more than ten addresses left by Zhao Tianyan were finally investigated, but nothing was found.

Wei Lai's brows furrowed, and he secretly thought, according to his previous experience, whether it was the nameless fire in the room next to him after the man disappeared, or after Xu Yue cut the dust, the burned room in Xu's mansion was filled with the smell of Da Ri Jing Shiyan, and even the fire in the Great Chu Palace that Li Chenghuang himself said was inextricably linked to Da Ri Jing Shiyan, if Lu Yan'er was a real person, then even if she was really cut off

Cause and effect, if you want to destroy her traces in this world, then the Great Sun Pure World Flame will definitely leave some traces.

But none of the dozen or so places where she may have lived were without exception, and no one could remember her name.

Could it really be his own demons?

Thinking of this, Wei Lai inevitably poured out such thoughts again.

He sat in the small courtyard arranged by Zhao Tianyan for him and Li Chenghuang and his party, looking at the rich dishes that were brought to the table in front of him, but he didn't have the slightest appetite.

Li Chenghuang and Xu Yue and their entourage are noble, and when they came to the Boundless Academy, they naturally had to be summoned by the big figures of the academy on a routine business, and it was inevitable to meet them. Therefore, there are only Wei Lai and his party in this mansion today.

"Okay, let's go, although we didn't gain anything today, we have eliminated some suspicious places. Tomorrow, let's start with those colleges and gentlemen, everything is difficult at the beginning, and there is no hurry. Sun Daren saw Wei Lai's abnormality, he stretched out his hand and put a large piece of fish meat for Wei Lai and put it in Wei Lai's bowl, and said with relief in his mouth.

Wei Lai knew that he was comforting himself, nodded with a smile, stretched out his chopsticks, and was about to pick up the vegetables, so he listened to Ning Xin on the side and said, "I'm afraid this matter can only end here." ”

"Why?" asked Sun Daren, puzzled.

"I don't know who that Lu Yan'er is, but Wuya Academy has a roster, and after Senior Brother Zhao told me about it yesterday, I went to look up the roster in the past two years, and there was no name Lu Yan'er from beginning to end. Today, I have asked all the people who may have come into contact with him, and no one remembers. Do you think that with such unsubstantiated empty words, you can search the school palace in the Boundless Academy and interrogate those highly respected gentlemen?" Ning Xin ignored Sun Daren, who was asking, but turned his head to look at Wei Lai, and said with a blazing gaze.

Wei Lai thought slightly, and nodded understandingly: "I know the girl's concerns, don't worry, Wei Lai will not involve the girl and Brother Zhao, and we will figure out our own way for the next thing." ”

Ning Xin's brows furrowed and asked, "You still have to investigate." ”

Wei Lai said firmly: "Naturally." ”

"Why? That girl is obviously not in our academy, otherwise it would be impossible to have no news about her at all, you were brought back by Senior Brother Zhao, what happened, everyone else would think of Senior Brother Zhao, and in the end it was Senior Brother Zhao who was harmed!" Ning Xin frowned when she heard this, probably because of her eagerness, and her voice was a little louder.

"From the very beginning, I wanted to ask, Brother Zhao seems to be in a difficult situation in the Boundless Academy, what is going on?" Wei Lai asked.

Ning Xin was stunned, she thought that Zhao Tianyan had told him not to tell Wei Lai and others about his current situation, but because she was too worried, she repeatedly said that she was leaking, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

She thought about it for a while, and then she said hesitantly: "Senior Brother Zhao is protected by his master, what trouble can there be, I am afraid that you will cause trouble everywhere and cause trouble for him!"

I have to say that Ning Xin's acting skills are really clumsy, where can she deceive a character like Wei Lai. However, he also knew that seeing Ning Xin's appearance, it was estimated that the other party would not be able to say anything if he asked again, so it was better to go and investigate by himself, after all, except for the students who were studying in this Boundless Academy, most of them were quite loosely managed, and it should not be difficult to inquire about some news that was not confidential.

Thinking of this, Wei Lai was about to end this topic, but the door of the room was pushed open from the outside at that time, and two young men in Confucian shirts looked into the room sweating profusely, and when they caught a glimpse of Ning Xin's figure, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they said loudly: "Senior sister is not good! Senior Brother Zhang and the people from Ziguitang surrounded Senior Brother Zhao!"

When Ning Xin heard this, her face changed, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and stood up.

"Quick! where are they! Take me there!"

She said this, she didn't even have time to explain half a sentence to Wei Lai and the others, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate with the two of them.

Sun Daren and Ji Huanxi were a little confused, and they both looked at Wei Lai in confusion at that time, but saw Wei Lai frowning and stood up after a few breaths.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look! We can't let our fellow villagers be bullied by outsiders!"

Wei Lai said in a deep voice, and then he kept up with Ning Xin's departure.

...... "What are you doing here!" Ning Xin urged the spiritual power in his body to follow the two junior disciples who came to report the news all the way, but suddenly felt that there were several qi machines behind him that were constantly approaching here. She was about to look back when she saw that Wei Lai had come to her side, she frowned and asked.

"Don't worry, girl, we just want to make sure that Brother Zhao is safe and won't cause trouble for the girl. Wei Lai said softly. Although Ning Xin's attitude towards Wei Lai and the others was a little bad from the beginning, Wei Lai could feel that the other party was sincerely concerned about Zhao Tianyan's safety.

Everyone's position is different, Wei Lai naturally can't ask everyone to stand on their own side, but as long as she is good to the people she cares about, Wei Lai won't care about those little unhappiness.

When Ning Xin heard Wei Lai's words, although she was still a little uneasy in her heart, but the matter had come to this, and she didn't have time to worry about this, so she could only agree temporarily.

At this time, Wei Lai asked again: "I heard the girl talk about it before, Brother Zhao seems to have some trouble in the Boundless Academy, can the girl talk to the next girl?"

Ning Xin's heart was originally caused

Irritable by what happened suddenly, she became more and more impatient when she heard Wei Lai's inquiry, and said at that time: "You know what's the use, do you really think that you are Ningzhou who can still let you continue to call the wind and rain?"

It's not that Ning Xin is self-righteous, the name of King Wei of Ningzhou sounds scary, but Nuoda's Ningzhou does not have even one Eight Great Sages, and on the other hand, the Boundless Academy, there are as many as five Great Sages who have been placed on the bright side alone, if you add those hidden predecessors, I'm afraid this number will have to go up and turn over another cup, such a number of high-level combat power is enough to destroy Ningzhou, no wonder Ning Xin doesn't take it seriously.

Wei Lai also knew that it was useless to say more, so he simply stopped his voice and followed behind Ning Xin with a sullen head.

It was late in the evening, and it was getting dark.

Although pedestrians could still be seen on the street, all the halls in the academy had long been closed, and Ning Xin, under the guidance of the two disciples, crossed a long street and came to a school hall that was still lit up.

"Zhou Xuan, this matter was originally your provocation first, intending to use my master, how dare you fight back?"

When the voice came, the faces of Wei Lai, Ning Xin and the others changed, and they hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see that in the courtyard at the entrance of the academy, a large group of white-clothed disciples were surrounding Zhao Tianyan and several younger disciples.

The leader is dressed in green clothes, in his early thirties, with a hooked nose and red phoenix eyes, and his appearance is quite handsome, but there is always a chilling yin aura lingering between his eyebrows. Standing next to that person was Wei Lai's old acquaintance, Zhou Xuan.

Wei Lai didn't need to ask much at all, he could think of the whole story, probably because Zhou Xuan had made such a battle in the name that Zhao Tianyan had never made a move on him.

Thinking of this, Wei Lai frowned, and said secretly, it is really a difficult little ghost, this week Xuan provoked trouble three times and twice, and Wei Lai's heart was already secretly murderous to him at this time.

Their intrusion naturally attracted everyone's attention, Zhao Tianyan saw Ning Xin, Wei Lai and others at a glance, and said with a panicked face: "Ah Lai, why are you here, leave quickly, I'm here here, it's okay!"

"Zhao Tianyan, when is it, you are still in the mood to say such big things, I underestimate you. The young man standing beside Zhou Xuan sneered when he heard this, and said at that time.

Ning Xin's face suddenly showed indignation, and he stepped forward and shouted: "Zhang Miao, my senior brother has always been conscientious and conscientious, you have to take a personal vendetta, and when you stay until I am a master, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!"

The man named Zhang Miao smiled presumptuously when he heard this: "Communiqué personal vendetta? Senior sister has such a big hat, Zhang Miao can't wear it." ”

"It was Gongzi Zhou who reported to me that your Senior Brother Zhao had fornicated with foreign enemies and secretly swallowed the Great Holy Seal given by Mr. Mo.

"Nonsense, how could my senior brother privately swallow the Great Saint Seal of the Master!" Ning Xin obviously cared about Zhao Tianyan very much, and when he heard this, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and his mouth was even louder.

"When Zhao Tianyan was leaving, Mr. Mo handed him a Great Saint Seal is something that everyone knows, according to the rules of Boundless Academy, if such a murder weapon is not used, it must be returned to the sect as soon as possible, but you can ask your senior brother, where is this Great Saint Seal?" Zhang Miao sneered.

Ning Xin and the others turned their heads to look at Zhao Tianyan at that time when they heard this, but they saw that Zhao Tianyan's face was ugly, and they bowed their heads and said nothing.

Obviously, there is something going on here......

"Look, your Senior Brother Zhao is speechless!" Zhang Miao said with a smile.

Zhao Tianyan looked at the other party with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "I came here today to explain this matter to the academy, after returning to the academy yesterday, the Great Sacred Seal disappeared, I asked to see the elder in charge of this matter in the sect several times, but the senior brother made it difficult several times! Before the matter is clarified, he wants to punish me, is it inappropriate?"

"Ziguitang's duty is to manage the disciples of the academy, so what's wrong with doing things according to the rules of the academy?" Zhang Miao sneered.

At the same time, at that time, he seemed to have lost the patience to talk to Zhao Tianyan, and he glanced at those white-clothed disciples with heavy eyes, and said in his mouth: "Go, take him down!"

Wen Yan, the disciples of those Zigui Hall, suddenly made a move, one after another spiritual power surged, the Divine Gate emerged, and then connected, a large array suddenly appeared, and the blue light intertwined with each other, turning into a huge blue seal and pressing down towards Zhao Tianyan.

......

Under that big seal, Zhao Tianyan's big clothes were messy, although he tried his best to urge the spiritual power in his body to fight, but after all, he couldn't compete with the things that these dozens of disciples had stimulated, and his body was short and short, and he was about to be defeated.

Ning Xin was naturally extremely anxious when she saw this, and several times she wanted to step forward, she was stopped by that Zhang Miao.

Sun Daren was also a little anxious, he glanced back at Wei Lai beside him and asked, "What should we do?"

Sun Daren asked this question, but Wei Lai was keenly aware that his fists were clenched, and the spiritual power around his body was surging to the point of being ready to go.

Wei Lai winked at him and said, "Big brother has the final say in this matter." ”

Sun Daren and Wei Lai had the same heart, and they suddenly came to their senses when they saw him like this.

He grinned at that point, reached out and grabbed the broadsword behind his back, and pulled it out with a clatter, and said something in his mouth.

"Fuck it!"
