Chapter 101: Puppet Formation
After sending away Mo Jinqiu's father and daughter, Shen Zhiyou's life finally returned to peace.
She has returned to the days of "drawing talismans, reading books, and practicing exercises", which seems to be no different from before.
It's just that occasionally, she will also take out the brand that Mo Zixuan gave her before the retreat, and after playing with it over and over again in her hand for a while, she will begin to rub the word "Xuan" on it with her fingers, and her thoughts will be terrified.
When she realized what she had done, she immediately threw the sign on the pillow as if she had picked up a hot potato.
She finally remembered that there was still a wisp of Mo Zixuan's soul silk in this brand.
It would make her feel like what she had just done was being spied on by someone, and it made her feel annoyed.
Shen Zhiyou bit her lower lip and pressed Mo Zixuan's brand under the pillow to make sure that no edge or corner was exposed.
After doing all this, Shen Zhiyou's thoughts calmed down, rubbed her slightly hot ear, walked to the desk on the side, and drew a spirit rune.
When she focused on drawing the talisman, her mind was able to settle down completely.
As for Mo Zixuan's brand, wait for her to take it out from under the pillow after a while.
If she remembered, Shen Zhiyou pursed her lips and snorted and thought.
In fact, even she didn't understand what she was awkward.
Perhaps, she just didn't want to understand.
That night, when she packed up the talisman pen and paper and was about to wash up and sleep, a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the window.
Before she could prepare for her defense, the dark shadow jumped in through the window!
Shen Zhiyou's heart jumped, and her breathing staggered suddenly-the person who was able to avoid all the guards and not let himself find out at the same time, could it be......
"Hey, little apprentice, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you ever missed being a teacher?"
The old man's wrinkled face suddenly appeared in front of her, and he smiled with a very bright smile with eight teeth.
Shen Zhiyou: "......"
Hehe, really, is she used to someone's elusive behavior? The moment she saw the black shadow outside the window just now, her first reaction was actually Mo Zixuan!
Shen Zhiyou lowered her eyes and couldn't help but grind her teeth secretly.
"Eh, what's wrong with the little apprentice? Are you unhappy to see Master? Hey, Master, I'm so sad......
After Crane Lao finished speaking, he also specially made a Xizi heart-hugging gesture.
The corners of Shen Zhiyou's lips twitched, and she was really speechless except for this cheap master's jumping behavior.
"No, I'm happy to see Master, your old man jumping around. β
It's "really" alive, Shen Zhiyou thought with a headache.
Elder He raised a finger, shook it under Shen Zhiyou's eyelids, and said, "No, no, no, the keen intuition of the teacher tells you that the person you want to see the most just now is definitely not the teacher." β
Shen Zhiyou: "......"
"Okay. Shen Zhiyou smiled helplessly, rubbed her forehead and said, "I did mistake you for another person, Master, just now, because he also likes to appear without saying a word, and I have formed a conditioned reflex." β
"Oh, is it? But, the moment you turned your head just now, the joy did not escape the eyes of the teacher...... "Tell me, is that person your sweetheart?"
Crane asked very gossifiably, his eyes flashing with a strong desire for knowledge.
Shen Zhiyou's heart jumped, gritted her teeth and glared at Elder He and said:
"Master, is it really okay for you to gossip so much?"
"Oh, what is this called gossip, as a teacher, I am just caring about the emotional life of my apprentice. Seriously, if he is really your sweetheart little apprentice, just give Master a look, take a look, Master will see how he is, is it worth paying for my little apprentice......"
"Okay, Master, don't talk about it, okay?" Shen Zhiyou's head was big, interrupting Elder He's chatter, "Master, he's not my sweetheart, he's just a friend of mine, don't think too much." β
"Hey, okay. Little apprentice, your mouth is too hard, and the cooked duck flies away. β
Crane Lao touched his beard and sighed with a rather experienced look.
The corners of Shen Zhiyou's lips twitched, and the green tendons in the corners of her forehead jumped.
Can she expel herself from the master? I feel that this master is really becoming more and more unreliable.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. Let's talk about the business for you. β
Elder He's tone suddenly changed, and he took out a letter from the storage ring and handed it to Shen Zhiyou.
Master, can he still have a serious business?
Shen Zhi took the letter suspiciously, opened it and took a look, and the seven big characters on it jumped into her eyes like this-
"Entrance Examination Notice?"
Reading these seven words, three black lines appeared on Shen Zhiyou's forehead.
Which one is this playing?
Crane Lao explained with a smile: "You know the Xuanwu Academy, right? Recently, the triennial admissions exam of Xuanwu Academy is about to begin, and I have wasted all my efforts to help you register for the name as a teacher, so work hard, little apprentice. β
After Elder He finished speaking, he patted Shen Zhiyou's shoulder very seriously.
The corners of Shen Zhiyou's mouth twitched and looked at Elder He, and said very depressedly, "Master, did you ask me about my wishes before you signed up?"
"Oh, you're all my apprentices, of course you have to sign up for the entrance exam. β
"Why?"
"Because as a teacher, I am one of the professors of Xuanwu Academy. β
Crane Lao smiled and threw out a piece of news that was not light at all.
β...... What ?!!!"
Shen Zhiyou was dumbfounded.
"Little apprentice, why do you look like you've been hit hard, this also hurts my heart too much, Master. β
Crane Lao made a sad look of Xizi's heart.
Shen Zhiyou looked at the sky speechlesslyββ
With Crane Lao's temperament, can he teach students well? Shouldn't he mislead people's children?
Moreover, what can the old man teach the master? Could it be to teach people how to enter the house and steal and sneak smoothly?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyou suddenly felt that her road ahead was blank.
"Okay, okay, Master, that's all I have to say, this entrance examination notice, little apprentice, you have to take care of it, and then you can rely on it to enter the scope of Xuanwu Academy." β
Crane Lao patted Shen Zhiyou's shoulder, and after saying all this, he was about to jump out of the window and leave.
"Well, Master, what are you teaching?"
Before Elder He left, Shen Zhiyou couldn't help but ask.
"Well...... When the time comes, you will know, little apprentice. β
The crane elder smiled and sold a pass, and then, after making a "goodbye" gesture, he disappeared with a "sigh".
Shen Zhiyou: "......"
When Shen Zhiyou thought that Crane Lao had completely left, and was about to sigh that he had met a "teacher" who was not ladylike, Crane Lao's voice suddenly came from the air.
It seems to have come from far away.
"DiscipleβMaster forgot to tell you something. You have to work hard and get into the top 50, otherwise, you won't be assigned to Master's name, remember-"
The voice stopped abruptly.
Shen Zhiyou: "......"
In the quiet room, Shen Zhiyou lowered her head, glanced at the entrance exam notice in her hand, and showed a crying and laughing expression.
When she met a master who said that she was a master, her life was really "wonderful".
However, what is the Xuanwu Academy......
Shen Zhiyou thought a little distractedly, in her last life, she didn't have the opportunity to step into that legendary academy, she relied on her own stumbling and groping to learn by herself, for this reason, she didn't take a detour, and several times even almost went crazy and exploded to death.
I heard that there are many precious and rare resources in Xuanwu Academy, and only the best students can get the most precious resources.
If you get these resources, you can make great progress in cultivation.
I have to say that thinking of this, Shen Zhiyou's heart was about to move.
Although her current cultivation speed is not slow, if she can be faster, why not?
Like the other day, lying on the ground weakly, she can only be slaughtered by others, she doesn't want to try anymore - at least, she has to improve her cultivation and strength as soon as possible, and strive to return to her peak state as soon as possible.
Then take the entrance exam!
Thinking of all this, Shen Zhiyou's face showed a determined expression.
Not only does she have to successfully pass the entrance exam, she also has to get the best resources inside!
Shen Zhiyou hooked the corners of her lips, and her heart was full of fighting spirit.
ββββββββββββββ
It was late at night, and in a small forest on the outskirts of the capital, there was a sound of rustling.
Few people stay in a treacherous grove at night so thick, so the sound of this rustling is all the more eerie in the silence of the night sky.
"Dad, is that almost?"
"Well, it's almost, you get out of the way, after the formation is activated later, it will frantically absorb the surrounding aura, and Dad is afraid of hurting you. β
"Okay. β
Mo Nishang said, taking a few steps back, away from the formation.
The people who are still staying in the grove are Mo Jin, Qiu He, Mo Nishang, father and daughter.
Mo Nishang looked at the formation that slowly emitted a blue faint light, and her eyes changed with excitement and anticipation.
She bit her lower lip nervously.
Mo Jinqiu sat in the center of the formation, made a series of complicated gestures, and when the blue light of the formation was in full bloom, he began to murmur something quickly.
If you listen closely, you can distinguish the following words-
"Mo Zixuan, the person you love the most is Mo Nishang, the person you hate the most is Shen Zhiyou, the person you love the most is Mo Nishang, and the person you hate the most is Shen Zhiyou......"
Although he was just repeating the same sentence over and over again, Mo Jinqiu was visibly struggling to get more and more struggling.
He encountered strong resistance from Mo Zixuan's subconscious, and cold sweat began to slowly ooze from his forehead.
Outside the formation, Mo Nishang clenched her fists hard, staring at her father in the formation.
It must be successful...... It must be successful......
As if a century had passed, Mo Jinqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and a grin appeared on the corner of his lips, and he was extremely cold.
"It's done. β
Mo Nishang breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed happily.
In the secret room, Mo Zixuan also opened his eyes suddenly!
It's just that those eyes that were once incomparably deep seem to be covered with a layer of black fog, and you can't see any focal length.
