First, the alliance formed by Wang Haoran openly announced that it would challenge the academy, and then the old batch of five major forces suddenly emerged to compete with the academy. No matter which side of the force, it is an existence that cannot be underestimated, because they can destroy a country. The world of practitioners is bigger and smaller than ordinary people see. The big is in the vastness of heaven and earth, not only the land and the sky, but also the sea, and the small can be ignored in many countries, because the power gained from cultivation is the way of heaven.

But even in the face of pressure from both sides, the academy survived unharmed, and even raised its prestige. Moreover, what impressed the five major forces this time was not the faculty members of the academy and their leaders, but a group of students. With a true heavenly attitude, they defeated a cultivator who had practiced for several years longer than themselves, and more people knew about it.

Previously, there were many people who paid attention to the dynamics of the academy, and even wanted the academy to lose, so as to vent their emotions. There will never be a shortage of people in the world who are thousands of miles away and can care about things that have nothing to do with them, and even fight with red faces. They are more concerned about the affairs of the academy than whether their wives and children are fed, but the academy will not change their emotions in the slightest, but those people are full of anger because of the prestige of the academy.

Even if some people feel that the academy has been in the limelight recently and will fall sooner or later, the academy is still doing its own thing. Not to be happy with things, not to be sad about yourself, was vividly explained by those teachers. The world is screaming, but the academy is quiet, so that the returning students can recuperate with peace of mind.

Xie Yi, who had returned from staying in Yugu for a whole month, was almost well injured, and because he had recovered well, as long as he paid attention to his future cultivation, he would not be affected too much. But Xia Xiao was seriously injured and unconscious, which made him shake his head secretly, just like Xia Wan said, her younger brother is really not worrying. If he didn't have this identity and strength, I'm afraid he would have lost his life long ago. But thinking about it again, if Xia Xiao didn't have this kind of strength, he who cherished his own life, maybe he wouldn't do such a risky thing.

The messenger of the college is a former student, and this position has been done for many years, and I have always felt that it is an easy job, and there are only a few people who write letters all year round. People who come to the academy have a strong heart, practice day and night, and have no feeling of missing their hometown. But there are always some exceptions, such as Xie Yi.

Because of him, the messenger was on the road almost every day for a month, or was waiting for the letter, and he didn't know how they had so much to say. If it weren't for the strict rules, he really wanted to open the letter and read it, but how could a person like him, who has no partner, know that kind of sharing?

Xia Xiao was lying on the bed and vaguely heard the sound of Xie Yi and Xiaoran communicating. As soon as he returned to the academy, it was Xiao Ran who took care of him, because the rest of the people, including Ah Candle, had their own cultivation tasks. But she would come to see it every day, and Xia Xiao recovered quickly, but she never woke up.

"The injuries are all healed. ”

Ah Candle muttered, while feeling strange, he should wake up at this time, lying down every day without anyone arguing with him, it's really boring. However, Xia Xiao didn't want to wake up, but the situation in his body was a little bad, but he definitely couldn't see his condition at this time from the outside world.

Xiao Ran pushed Ah Candle's shoulders with both hands and told him to walk outside the room.

"I'll call you as soon as he wakes up, but now you have to go to practice, don't let your seniors worry. ”

Ah Zhu usually has a concept of time, but as long as he comes to Xia Xiao's room and looks at it, he forgets that he has been waiting for a long time. When I went out and saw the sun in the middle, my face turned green, and I ran to a place that suited me, and my hands were sealed, and I began to practice. She has to work harder, she has to make Xia Xiao impress herself as soon as she wakes up. In the other world, Xia Xiao's brows were furrowed terribly, and his expression was far less calm than that on the bed.

In the blazing volcano, Xia Xiao stood on the altar, the big dog in front of him was listlessly paralyzed, drooping his ears, and he always felt that something was missing in his eyes. The scourge that used to be full of energy, now he didn't even have the strength to stand up and scold Xia Xiao's dog, which made him feel uneasy and felt that he was careless.

Scourge was in a strange state at this time, uninjured, but he just couldn't stand up. Xia Xiao observed many times, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and there was not even anything missing, but there was something missing in his eyes.

The blazing volcano shouldn't be so silent, it couldn't even get hot air, Xia Xiao was worried, feeling that he was too careless. Scourge will be like this, and he can only blame himself for the reason, looking back, it is related to Luo Jing of the nine-story Senran Tower. That day, she took away a trace of Scourge Fight's killing intent, Xia Xiao thought it was a good thing, after all, Scourge Fight's temper was too short-tempered, and if she lost a little killing intent, she might become quieter, and she didn't think anything happened.

It is said that existence is reasonable, and the scourge should not lose that killing intent, it is Xia Xiao's fault. Therefore, the first thing he did when he woke up was to pack up and prepare to go to his seniors.

In front of the bed, Ah Candle was about to leave, but Xia Xiao sat up abruptly and asked Xiaoran to get his clothes. The two girls froze in place, and soon became happy.

"This time you were in a coma for ten whole days, I'll go get some food and drink some water first. ”

Xiao Ran's voice was gentle, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Every day in the academy, he is graceful, and the cowardice in his bones gradually disappears, making him assertive. Xiao Ran left, leaving only Xia Xiao and Ah Candle. The latter helped him to dress, and although he closed his eyes, he kept his mouth shut.

"Tell you to be reckless, it's okay now, I've slept for so long. ”

"Don't talk about cool words. ”

Xia Xiao drank a lot of water, he could actually wake up a long time ago, but his physical condition was not good. Ju Mang was seriously injured, Xiao Yu was also injured, and Woe Dou fell into a wonderful situation, which affected Xia Xiao's mental state, otherwise he would not have wasted so much time in bed.

Ah Candle didn't know this, snorted lightly, and stuck out his tongue.

"Don't let anyone say it? ”

Seeing Xia Xiao's slightly frowning brows, Ah Candle didn't say anything again, but just asked:

"Feeling so bad?"

"I may have to go to the Nine-Story Senran Tower, and you will accompany me when the time comes. ”

Bringing a candle when you go out has become Xia Xiao's habit. It's like he's been back for so long, and the bracers on his wrists haven't been removed.

"Why?"

"What are so many why? Something happened to the scourge, and he had to take back the killing intent that Luo Jing had taken away. ”

"The killing intent has become the bricks of that black tower, can you take it back?"

"No matter, if it's a big deal, the tower will be demolished, and if the scourge goes on like this, I won't be able to recover. ”

Ah Candle replied to Xia Xiao in a long voice, feeling that there was nothing he couldn't do.

"By the way, when I get out of the academy, I'll take you back to grandma's house first. ”

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Ah Candle's eyes lit up, his hands danced happily, and he hugged Xia Xiao, who was not at ease in his arms, and kept arching, as if he was going to take him to jump up. In fact, on the way to the Changbai Mountain Range, she passed by the small mountain village where she was raised. But because she had a task at that time, she couldn't help, so she didn't want to hold everyone back, and she didn't say that she wanted to go home.

Ah Candle has been away from the small mountain village for more than a year, and every time she is wronged, or eats something delicious, she thinks of her grandmother who is alone at home. She wanted to go back and have a look, but her strength was too low to make random requests. Grandma said that when we are in an organization, but because of lack of ability, we can't contribute to the organization, we talk less, do more, and don't do more, which is also considered to save a lot of heart for the organization.

Although Ah Candle is always very aggressive, she remembers her grandmother's words. She would be happy if she could go back. When she thought that she had something delicious for every meal, but her grandmother could only eat coarse grains and pickles in a small mountain village, she was sad. Thinking about it, her nose was sore, and her eyes were red and moist.

Ah Candle raised his head and said thank you to Xia Xiao, and the tears in the corners of his eyes fell inadvertently. Xia Xiao looked at it, and there was some tenderness in his eyes, wiping his tears. In fact, Xia Xiao had long noticed Ah Candle's mood changes, and thought that he would take her back after the competition, and he also got approval from Sun Zhonglei's seniors, but he didn't expect to be so seriously injured and have been sleeping until now.

"Hmm...... That ......"

Xiao Ran at the door was carrying breakfast, watching the intimate movements of Ah Candle and Xia Xiao, with a tangled face. At this time, she should have left, and it was not good to stay as a light bulb all the time, but she subconsciously refused Xia Xiao and Ah Candle like this, so she spoke up. When Xia Xiao gently pushed Ah Zhu away, the latter's face turned red, although he was shy, he was still extremely happy and couldn't help but jump.

Today's breakfast was solved quickly, Xiao Ran buried her head in drinking porridge, but looked at Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, and was secretly jealous of the latter's words.

"Why don't we bring some things back? After Longgang disappeared, grandma's place to buy things was gone. By the way, Longgang is gone! How can grandma survive the winter? The quilt is already very torn!"

Ah Candle's reaction was too slow, and the disappearance of Longgang was a matter of last year. Xia Xiao said no, you don't need to bring anything. Ah Candle didn't agree, it was her grandmother, of course she had to care, but what Xia Xiao said made Ah Candle stunned in place, and when he looked at his back, his eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

"After bringing you to the academy, I wrote a letter asking my family to send some things to the old man, and by the way, the earthen tile house was repaired. So rest assured, she's all right. ”

Looking back, Xia Xiao shouted helplessly:

"Let's go!"

Ah Candle followed Xia Xiao and Xiaoran and asked him:

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"Is it okay to be nice to you?"

"Something is not used to. ”

"Why don't you write a letter to grandma?"

Xia Xiao asked inadvertently, and Ah Candle replied with a serious face:

"Grandma said that I don't have to write letters if I'm doing well, I have to solve my worries and difficulties by myself, and I can't always rely on her. ”

Ah Candle felt that she knew her grandmother very well, but she didn't understand why she did it, but it was normal. How can a child understand the mind of an elder? Ah Zhu is only sixteen years old, not yet seventeen. However, grandma is really good to Ah Candle, and hopes that she will never return to the small mountain village, but the way she sent Ah Candle away is a bit risky, so that she does not dare to think about it, nor dare to imagine Ah Candle's future. But for the elderly, what other options did they have under the circumstances?

The three of them went to find Hu Bugui, who seemed to be older than before, and the bags under his eyes were swollen and drooped down his cheeks. Hu Bugui is as old as the oldest peach tree in the peach forest. It has long been unable to bloom and bear fruit, and there are few leaves, so it sits there all year round and watches the younger generations indulge in flowers and fruits, and enjoy their old age in peace.

"Although the Nine-Story Senran Pagoda is a bit mysterious, it is the same as the Qingtian Sect, they are all decent forces, you can talk about it well after you go, and speak slowly, they should not be unreasonable. But be careful when reasoning with a bunch of women. ”

Hu Bugui said and smiled, but his face was full of tiredness, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be unable to see anything clearly, almost at the end of his life. The sudden old age is related to the battle he experienced last year, but it doesn't matter, life and death are the norm, he can see it clearly and understand, so he feels light.

"Senior, do you know where it is?"

"Go to Desmuris, that fellow is idle. ”

Xia Xiao suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to come to Hu Bugui, not because he couldn't help himself, but because he disturbed his rest.

"Senior, when the kid settles the current matter, he will come back to drink tea and drink with you. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

Xia Xiao nodded and left with Xiao Ran and Ah Candle, they all felt a little bad in their hearts, but they didn't say it, because they knew that they couldn't reverse this reality.

Di Muli was reading in the courtyard, and the lamb beside him was eating apples, and when he saw Xia Xiao and them coming, he continued to eat, his mouth bulging and not stopping. Its bell sounded crisp and pleasant, and under it, Xia Xiao finished speaking. Regarding the nine-story Senran Tower, Di Muli only knew a rough idea, and as for whether the killing intent could be recaptured, he had to try it to know. Regarding the use of killing intent, but if Di Muli knew their secrets well, wouldn't he be able to cultivate such a black tower?

Di Muli knew the detailed address of the nine-story Senran Pagoda, but the instructor accompanying him this time was no longer the mysterious and powerful thirteen people of the academy, but Li Lunming. During this time, the academy was a little impetuous, and many strong people should not have gone out, but now they are back to normal.

Xia Xiao had seen Li Lunming, in the east of the East China Sea, Di Muli fought against the Initiating Emperor in the mist, and it was he who resisted Wang Haoran's attack. Like other faculty members, Li Lunming is strong and powerful, and has towering abilities, which is worthy of respect.

Xia Xiao and the three of them sat in Li Lunming's residence and talked about the nine-story Senran Pagoda, and learned about it from some book records. When he knew that he took off his black veil and got married, Xia Xiao realized it later, no wonder Luo Jing had such emotions that day, he originally thought it was shy, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Then this time he went to the nine-story Senran Tower, and he had something to say.

There is not much written in the book, and I read it in two hours. Subsequently, Li Lunming asked:

"Let's rest and recuperate in these two days, how about leaving the day after tomorrow?"

"Senior, let's go today, let's go to a place first, and then go to the nine-story Senran Tower. ”

"Okay, then you go back and pack up, and I'll look for you in the afternoon. ”

"There are Lao seniors. ”

Looking at Xia Xiao's back, Li Lunming cocked Erlang's legs, looking forward to it. He has never been with Xia Xiao for a long time when he was young, and he doesn't know what kind of personality charm this guy has, since he can become a person from afar. I heard that Xia Xiao was presumptuous a few times on the side of the Earth King Palace, which made him even more curious, occasionally humble and flawless, occasionally a little arrogant, what a real guy. This trip is a good opportunity to get to know him, and you can't miss it!
