Chapter 22: That, This

On the second day of the big competition, the three rounds of the competition had ended, but the Gayou Academy had not yet said how the remaining twenty-one people would be separated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Among the twenty-one people, Li Yu, Shan Xingye, and Jiang Xiaohan were naturally expected by everyone, and others such as Situ Xuan, Luo Yan, and Mu Shengyan of Jiayou Academy, and Duanmu Long and Liao Yan of the Imperial Academy were also unexpected. In this way, this time, there are four people each in the top 21 of Dabigayo and the Imperial Academy, which can be said to be firmly in the top two, but I don't know who can be better in the end.

On the evening of the second day, Luo Yan and Situ Xuan had just come out of the dean's place, so they came to He Xin to sit here.

Speaking of Dabi's matter, He Xinyu asked: "This Mu Shengyan...... Who is it? ”

Luo Yan looked at He Xinyue and said, "It's a student recruited by Jiayou last year, I don't know her well, so I haven't mentioned her to you." Speaking of this, she suddenly glanced at Situ Xuan, but He Xinyu was absent-minded and didn't see it.

Then, He Xinyue casually asked how to compare tomorrow, and both of them said they didn't know.

If even Gayo's own people don't know, then it's even less likely that others will know.

"Let's go." Situ Xuan suddenly stood up and said this. He Xinyue was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and asked, "Don't you sit for a while anymore?" ”

"No," he said, "I see you're always in a trance, so you'd better rest early." ”

He Xinyue turned his head to look at the twilight outside, and nodded silently. When Situ Xuan walked to the door, she suddenly stopped him: "Situ! ”

Situ Xuan turned around and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just ...... I always feel uneasy in my heart. Tomorrow's Dabi ......"

Situ Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just a competition, nothing will happen." ”

It's really just a competition, and there's no need to worry too much. Perhaps, she was just worried about the North Underworld, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Coming out of He Xinyue, Situ Xuan suddenly said to Luo Yan, "Thank you." ”

Luo Yan asked him rhetorically: "Thank me for what?" You don't have to thank me, I just don't want her to be careful. She stopped, looked directly at Situ Xuan, and said, "The heart seems to be cold and cold, but she is not without a heart. There are many things, maybe she really doesn't know, maybe she just heard about it, but she doesn't ask much, not because she doesn't care, but because she trusts. Only you know what is between you and Mu Shengyan, and I, an outsider, am not qualified to say anything. Anyway, you won't be able to hide from her tomorrow, so you can do it yourself. ”

At this point, she paused abruptly, then smiled, and said, "It seems that we don't have to wait until tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words fell, a person turned out at the intersection in front of him, dressed in purple, with a round goose face and slender eyebrows, staring straight at Situ Xuan.

"I'll go first."

As soon as Luo Yan left, Mu Shengyan walked up to Situ Xuan, with anger in his eyes, and his tone seemed to ask: "Ah Xuan, how long do you want to hide from me?" ”

The man in front of him looked indifferent, and in the face of her questioning, he did not look angry, nor did he mean to answer.

Thinking of his indifference to himself in the past year after going up the mountain, Mu Shengyan couldn't be silent anymore. She tried to grab his hand, as if this was equivalent to grabbing him: "Ah Xuan, I heard some rumors recently, they said...... It's not true to say you're obsessed with that, right? I know you're not good at words, you're always silent, and you're always holding back your heart and refusing to tell anyone, but ...... I still believe in you, we-"

Situ Xuan took her hand away and said, "This is in Jiayou Academy, Miss Mu, please respect yourself." ”

Mu Shengyan looked at him in disbelief: "How can you say such a thing to me?" Dead weight? I came all the way to Mount Canaan to find you, guarded you for a year, waited for you for a year, and got such a sentence in exchange? ”

In the place where the two of them couldn't see, half-hung and half-leaning on the trunk of the tree on the side of the road, looking at them and frowning, while muttering to himself: "No, shouldn't......"

Luo Luozi asked, "What shouldn't be?" ”

He suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Let's go!" I seem to have found something interesting when I went to find our Nine Heavens Brothers......"

As soon as the gardenia fell asleep, he felt that someone was slapping his face, and he thought it was a prank by the person next to him, so he ignored it, put his head in the quilt and continued to sleep. Unexpectedly, the quilt was forcibly lifted, and when he was angry, he opened his eyes and was about to scold, but when he saw the person in front of him, he suddenly stopped.

After being stunned for a moment, his face suddenly became extremely hideous: "You still dare to come to me?" ”

The half-hanger forcibly dragged him out of the bed, carried him to a place where no one was, and said, "Brother, can you get me some more food?" ”

Shan Gardenia naturally won't give him a good face: "No! ”

The half-hung man showed a flattering smile and said, "Of course I won't ask for your things for nothing, brother, this time I came, I have something very important to tell you." I'll tell you this secret, you give me food, and we're a fair deal. ”

Shan Gardenia didn't believe him, and gave him a blank look: "What important things can you have?" After a pause, he immediately showed a very curious expression, "Let's hear it." ”

"Hehe-he-" said the half-man as if he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, "brother, I don't lie to you, I can tell you a little bit first, and after listening to this little bit, you decide whether you want to buy me with food, and let me tell you the rest." ”

Shan Gardenia hesitated, and when he said "come with his ear", he obediently leaned his ear over.

As a result, half an hour later, the three of them came to the pavilion from yesterday. This time, Gardenia was smart and took the pastry he made himself, so that even if someone found out, he would not be punished.

While eating, he put on a look of memory and said, "Anyway, it was three years ago......"

Three years ago, in Beicheng, Gujia Prefecture, Mu Shengyan first met Situ Xuan at the human trafficking bazaar. She took a fancy to him at first sight, and spent five hundred star coins to buy him and give him an identity. He always didn't talk much, and even when he became closer to her, he was still silent. After two months together, he said he wanted to become a practitioner, so she let him go. Two years after he left, she realized that she could no longer pretend that he had not appeared in her life, so she came to Mount Canaan to find him. At this time, she found that he was no longer the Situ Xuan she knew back then, and he was so cold to her that he didn't even want to look at her more - these were all things that she didn't know.

What he was talking about was that three years ago, when Situ Xuan left the northern city of the state and came to Canaan Mountain, he once went to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to experience what happened.

“…… I was ordered to come to this Star Stone Continent to lock my soul. I don't remember the creature's name, but I remember his appearance very well. At that time, Luo Luo hadn't come yet, and with me was another brother of mine named Lan Mazi. The creature was dead when we came, and he must have been killed. We had a lot of souls to lock that day, and we had been running around for the past few days, and Lan Mazi really couldn't hold it anymore, so I asked him to stay aside and rest for a while, and then lock this one when I came back after locking the other souls. Originally, he was lying on the ground well, but as soon as Lan Mazi took a nap, he was eaten by a demonic beast. ”

The half-hung man showed a very helpless expression and said, "It's troublesome now, after the living soul dies, the soul is attached to the body." His flesh was eaten by demonic beasts, and his soul was naturally the same. Blue Mazi and I had to stay there for a day, and only when that beast was killed by another beast did we drag him out of the beast's belly, lock his soul, and stuff him back into the beast's belly. ”

Half-hung said this while eating the pastry with relish. Shan Gardenia looked at him with an incomprehensible expression, and listened to him continue: "It was this kid who made us delay the next errand, and there was a soul that dissipated before we could lock it, so I and Blue Mazi were unlucky. Lan Mazi was removed from the ghost book and re-entered reincarnation, and I have not heard from him again. The Absolute Immortal Envoy remembered that I had been working in the Underworld for a long time, and I was also serious, and he didn't treat my sins, and he didn't care about it anymore after punishing me with more than a dozen lashes. ”

Gardenia muttered, "Who wants to listen to you?" You've been talking about it for a long time, who is that person? What does this have to do with people I know? ”

The half-witted man said, "The creature I'm talking about is someone you know." ”

"Isn't he dead? I've not been here for long, how did I know him? Hearing this, Yama Gardenia decided that the cunning ghost was making fun of him, and got up to leave.

Half-hung grabbed him: "Don't worry, what I said is true." Yesterday you went to give that ...... He is in charge of delivering food, and he is also there. I saw him again today, with a very beautiful girl, his name is Situ Xuan. ”

Shan Gardenia was stunned for a moment.

The half-hung man frowned suspiciously, and said, "I'm also very puzzled, Situ Xuan has already died, how can the soul I personally lock be fake?" If that's the case, then where did this Situ Xuan run out of now? ”
