Chapter 43: The Princess of the Imperial Family
Guo Chen had many guesses about Jiang Xueyan's identity, and in the conversation just now, he successfully determined her identity, which was the royal princess who disappeared half a year ago.
But because he and Shen Xuan were both cultivating in the cave at that time, they didn't know about the disappearance of the royal princess.
"How do you know?"
Jiang Xueyan didn't care about continuing to fight wits and courage with him, anyway, she couldn't win, so it was better to think about how he knew if she had that kung fu.
"From your words, you can hear that you have been trying to make me think that you are a member of the Lingyun Sect, because the Lingyun Sect has a special method for cultivating perception. ”
Guo Chen directly pointed out Jiang Xueyan's intentions, he was right again, Jiang Xueyan said very puzzledly: "Then why do you think that I am not a disciple of the Lingyun Sect?"
"Please, the first condition for entering the Lingyun Sect is to graduate from the Nine Star Academy, you are still here, how can you be a disciple of the Lingyun Sect?"
Guo Chen's face was helpless, the Lingyun Sect only recruited genius disciples, and only the students who graduated from the Nine Star Academy could get into their eyes, and in addition, even if it was the sect master's own son, he could not learn any of the exercises of the Lingyun Sect.
"Then how do you think I'm a royal princess?"
Jiang Xueyan has no intention of continuing to hide it now, she just wants to know where her identity was exposed.
"You are so rich, you can only be a relative of the Lingyun Sect, the royal family, or that business tycoon, do you think you are more like a businessman, or more like a princess?"
He didn't know what the name of that business tycoon was, after all, after getting the Nightmare Pupil, he had never heard that person's name again, after all, the distance between cultivators and the business world was still very far away.
"But when we first met, I was already acting like a businessman?"
She said that when she bought the Blessing Scroll Realm materials, she recognized the treasure at a glance and bought it very happily, which was indeed very much like a businessman.
"It's true that before today I thought you were a businessman, but just now you told me who you are. ”
After he said this, he just reached the eighth layer, and at this time, Cao Pu and Xu Yang were already waiting for them, and Jiang Xueyan couldn't ask even if she was curious.
In fact, the principle of this is very simple, if Jiang Xueyan does not reveal his perception ability today, he will not be able to guess Jiang Xueyan's identity.
After exposing her perceptual ability, Jiang Xueyan thought of the exercises of the Lingyun Sect in a hurry, and wanted to package herself as a disciple of the Lingyun Sect, and it was this move that exposed the power to which she really belonged, which was the royal family.
When a person is likely to come from three places, and this person has the characteristics of two of them, it is easiest to determine the power to which this person really belongs, knowing that this person has something to hide.
"Okay, now that we're here, I'm going to announce today's mission. ”
Cao Pu said, glanced at Jiang Xueyan and then at Guo Chen, and said, "Today you are going to a mountain near the imperial city to retrieve a plant that is unique there, this is a task that every student has to go through, and no matter how special you are, you can't avoid it." ”
"Isn't that right, shouldn't this be a task that should only be a student of more than two years in the academy?"
At this moment, a voice came into the ears of the five people, and except for Cao Pu, the four people subconsciously turned their heads to look.
Then they found that Lu Ping was standing in front of the stairs, looking at the people in the classroom, and then said, "Isn't it too early to let them carry out this task now?"
"Didn't you start this mission early, and there are a lot of talented people in this class who are more talented than you. ”
Cao Pu should know Lu Ping, and he should be quite familiar, it is possible that Lu Ping was Cao Pu's former student, as for the specific relationship, I don't know yet.
"I'm here to tell you, don't let them go out these days, the academy will have the next assessment in a few days. ”
Lu Ping was very lucky, because if he had come for a few seconds at night just now, the four of them might have been sent out.
"It seems to be early this year, so it doesn't matter, none of the people in my class participated, so you just tell them. ”
Cao Pu said, he had already raised the crutches in his hand, preparing to use his spatial spiritual power to send the three of them outside the Nine Star Academy.
But he lifted it up, but it didn't fall to the ground, because Lu Ping shot down him in time, and through the time spirit technique, even the smallest moment could be captured by Lu Ping.
"I'm sorry, this time it really won't work, they have to stay here. ”
"It's because of the undercover agent, and the academy hasn't found that undercover agent yet, so it can't let us out yet. ”
At this time, Guo Chen opened his mouth and pointed out the reason why Lu Ping did not say it directly, in fact, Lu Ping had no need to hide this matter at all.
Now among the students in the first class of the Heavenly Level, everyone knows about the undercover agent, and even Xu Yang, who doesn't know where he is in the past few days, knows that there is an undercover agent in the Nine Star Academy.
"It seems that I was too careful, you should all know about this, and it is for this reason that no one can leave the Nine Star Academy now. ”
After hearing his words, Lu Ping smiled self-deprecatingly, then admitted the matter, and then said: "Wait a few days, you let them carry out this task again, and I will leave first." ”
When the five of them reacted again, Lu Ping had already disappeared, and he should have used the time spirit technique to leave.
"You have also heard, there is no way to leave the academy, you can continue to practice in the classroom, and I will come back in a few days. ”
Cao Pu left this sentence and limped out of the classroom again, but this time, the four of them could clearly feel that his pace was much faster than before.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Guo Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he immediately came to the conclusion that this was a scene that Lu Ping and Cao Pu had joined forces to act, the purpose of which was to make a few people in the first class of the heaven-level think that Cao Pu was fine.
But the fact is that Cao Pu must have been injured, and the injury should be quite serious, but he will not have to leave for several days to heal.
Things should be like this, Cao Pu needs time to heal because he is injured, he should have been healing a few days ago, and he came to play this scene today just to not let them doubt it.
In fact, another biggest loophole in this scene is that half a month ago, Cao Pu introduced himself, he once said that he was the first Great Elder of the Nine Star Academy, and it stands to reason that he should know everything about the Nine Star Academy.
Moreover, Cao Pu and Lu Ping have a very high status in the Nine Star Academy, so they naturally know that Guo Chen has superior intelligence, and he has already met Guan Ying, so what Lu Ping wants to hide cannot be that everyone knows that the academy has undercover agents.
Knowing this, Guo Chen began to think about the next thing, that is, when Cao Pu was injured, and why he didn't want the four people in the first class of the Heaven level to know about his injury.
If you think about these two things separately, it will be difficult to find the answer without any clues.
There was such a big incident in the Nine Star Academy a few days ago, Cao Pu could be injured at any time, as for why he didn't want them to know, there were too many possibilities.
But as long as he thought about these two things together, assuming that these two things had the same purpose, the reason was very simple, he didn't want people outside the Nine Star Academy to know about his existence.
It's that simple, and only for this reason can explain his behavior, it's not that he doesn't want the four people of the first class of the Heaven Level to know about it, but he doesn't want others to know about it.
Thinking of the shocked look of those people in the evil alliance when the golden figure appeared that day, the answer was already obvious.
But knowing this, it actually didn't have much effect, because there was no need for him to expose this matter, so he just followed Cao Pu's meaning and let this matter pass.
Then Guo Chen smiled bitterly, and secretly complained in his heart, "I still have to continue to live in reading", and then took out a book from the bookshelf on the side and began to read.
In fact, he can cultivate, and he also wants to cultivate, but since recovering the Nightmare Pupil, his reason has completely suppressed his sensibility, and when making a choice, the first thing to consider is the effect, not his own feelings.
Between reading books and cultivating, in ordinary people, it must be that cultivation plays a greater role, but Guo Chen is different, even if he doesn't cultivate, his spiritual power will steadily improve.
Moreover, after he crossed over, he had been touring the mountains and rivers in the Baqi Sect for the first eighteen years, and had been cultivating in the cave for the next half year, and he knew very little about the knowledge on the mainland, so now he urgently needed to supplement this knowledge, and the best way was naturally to read books.
In the eighth layer of the first class of the Heaven level, the types of books are the most comprehensive, especially the history of the continent, which almost covers all the major events on the continent over the past thousand years, which is exactly what Guo Chen needs to know the most.
At this time, Shen Xuan had already started cultivating again, his talent was very good, but he did not ignore the importance of cultivation because of this, no matter when, as long as he could cultivate, he would cultivate.
To be honest, Guo Chen sometimes really envied him, he could cultivate when he wanted to according to his own mind, without any worries.
Guo Chen originally lived this kind of life, but later because of the Nightmare Pupil, his life was disrupted, and everything he did needed to be carefully considered.
Sometimes he wondered if if he hadn't accepted the inheritance of the Nightmare Pupil in the first place, and if he would have been a waste then, at least he would have been able to do what he wanted.
An afternoon passed, and when the four of them were about to leave, he noticed Xu Yang.
After Xu Yang lifted his cultivation state, he did not leave the classroom as soon as possible, but took a book in the classroom before leaving the classroom.
Xu Yang actually knew how to read, he didn't expect it at all, he remembered that Xu Yang himself said before that the most hated thing was reading.
"Do you feel that since Xu Yang came back, he has always been weird, as if he has completely changed as a person. ”
It just so happened that at this time, Shen Xuan came to his side and said this.
Guo Chen just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Jiang Xueyan when he opened his mouth.
"Tell me, how the hell are you sure I'm a princess?"
Jiang Xueyan thought about it for an afternoon, and only figured out how Guo Chen determined that he was a member of the royal family, and as for how he determined that he was a princess, he really didn't know at all.
"You haven't figured it out yet, so keep thinking about it, I won't tell you. ”
After saying this, Guo Chen turned around and ran, Jiang Xueyan stretched out her hand to grab him, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.
