Raising her eyelids and looking at the content of Zhang Longqian's mobile phone, Zhou Miao's voice was still as calm as her expression.

"Just like it says in the text message."

"What's going on?"

Zhou Miao was still expressionless, and his voice was also very flat: "One of the people in the other party's group knows Gu magic, and the two Quanzhen faction found out and said 'Evil demons will be punished' and killed mercilessly, and the other person in that group said a word for the companion who used Gu, and they were all cleaned up." ”

I didn't expect that this kind of words that can only be heard in novels will appear in reality, Zhang Longqian's brows furrowed tightly: "'Evil demons will be punished'?" Who do they think they are? Is it decent? ”

"The Quanzhen Sect is indeed a famous and decent sect in the Dao Law Realm."

Simply stating the facts, Zhou Miao's voice is still not salty.

Zhang Longqian's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.

Unexpectedly, there would be contestants killed.

No, it's not right to say that I didn't expect it at all, after all, no one cared about the death of so many people when there was a dispute between the two major factions before, and the attitude of this academy towards things like "life and death" can be imagined, and it is naturally the same in the arena.

――Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a "cleaning team" in the arena to clean up the corpses, would there?

But when she really heard that this kind of thing was happening, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Those two ...... How did Song Lin and Wang Juehui of the Quanzhen School deal with it? They killed someone, right? ”

"Nothing special." Facing Zhang Longqian's incomprehensible eyes, Zhou Miao said lightly, "The large-scale competition of the academy can also be regarded as a part of the 'inevitable' event, and the students involved are all life and death, and no one can blame anyone if they die." ”

"What ......" Holding back the anger that was about to blurt out, Zhang Longqian pursed his lips tightly, and only spoke to Zhou Miao, who was waiting for her quietly, after a while, "I know." ”

After getting Zhang Longqian's answer, Zhou Miao turned around and walked back to the private room, but after taking a step, he paused, and a flat voice came.

"Be careful yourself."

Looking at Zhou Miao, who walked straight to the elegant room after speaking, Zhang Longqian frowned tightly but couldn't help but smile lightly, and whispered to himself: "Whether I can win Guan Rongtu or not is still unknown......

When she saw Zhou Miao walking into the private room, Zhang Longqian didn't follow immediately, she just leaned against the wall and gently closed her eyes.

"I see".

That's how she replied to Zhou Miao.

Because she didn't know what else to say.

In this academy, only the strong are qualified to survive, and if they die, it can only prove that they are not strong enough, and no one will feel sorry for such a weak person, no one will.

With the existence of the academy for thousands of years, such a recognition has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

She's just a mortal who entered the academy by accident, so what qualifications does she have to judge it?

There is no qualification, and there is no such power.

She was too weak to resist such a rule, so what could she do but obey it? All she could do was try to protect Bai Lu, who knew nothing about it, from contaminating her.

That's all there is to it.

Taking a deep breath and stepping forward, Zhang Longqian returned to the private room with a gentle smile, and continued to laugh and eat with everyone as if nothing had happened, the atmosphere was still relaxed, as if it was not affected by those cruel rules in the slightest.

-- It's just an "image".

Looking at the faces in front of him, Zhang Longqian's gaze couldn't help but be a little trance-like.

Except for Ji Haiyun, everyone is a student of the academy, and they must live in accordance with the rules of the academy; And on top of this, including Ji Haiyun, everyone has a common identity.

Children of the family.

This identity dooms them to not be able to live as they like even if they leave the academy. Because they can't leave the Dao Dharma Realm after all, and the "family" is a force that absolutely cannot be resisted in the Dao Dharma Realm.

Unconsciously stopped her eyes on Cang Yan, and the treatment he suffered flashed in Zhang Longqian's mind again, she only felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and emotions gradually floated in her chest that could not be suppressed no matter what.

Such...... Is it really good?

A voice was asking her, but she was still laughing and talking about marginal topics, and then walked out of the restaurant with everyone who had eaten well, and walked slowly under the stars and moon that hung up in the night sky at some point.

On the road without street lights, you can often see all kinds of magic lights used by the students to illuminate, dotted with stars, reflecting the hazy moonlight, quiet woods, and ancient buildings, which seem dreamlike, quiet and peaceful.

As long as you don't look at everything underneath, isn't this academy just like the fairyland on earth that all mortals imagine?

However, even if he told himself over and over again, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but think about it.

She knew that she didn't belong to the Dao Law Realm, she was just a mortal who strayed into it, so she was not qualified to take care of everything in the Dao Law Realm, and she could just watch from the wall without worrying about herself.

After saying goodbye to Liao Lei and Zhou Miao Bailu with a smile, Zhang Longqian looked at Ji Haiyun, and then at Nangong Piao, who was still on the way with them, and Cang Yan.

But is it really right to let them live in a world like this, and still stand by and pretend that this is the best for them?

A voice continued to ask her, but Zhang Longqian was still smiling, chatting with Nangong Piao as usual.

"Anyway, I haven't seen Xiaoxue in a long time, what's wrong with it?"

"It's okay, it's just in the growth period of the snowfinch, and it's been sleeping all the time lately, and it will be fine after a while."

"Growing up...... I hope it won't be the same when we see it again! ”

"Haha......"

Laughed lightly twice, the smile on Nangong Piao's face was somewhat reluctant, he looked at Zhang Longqian, his expression was a little hesitant, and it was not until he was about to go to a fork in the road that he finally made up his mind and opened his mouth.

"That...... Dragon Diving, We ...... The young master has already explained today, so I ...... Yan and I After the autumn festival is over, he will leave the academy at the end of the month and go back to the Cang family. ”

His body stiffened slightly, but Zhang Longqian still smiled peacefully: "Really? That can't be helped. ”

seemed to feel that Zhang Longqian's expression was a little strange, Nangong Piao couldn't help but look at her twice, but he didn't think much about it when he was confused, he just whispered again: "I...... I can't tell Xiaolu, and I can't bear it...... So, can you please tell her when we're gone? ”

"yes, okay."

"That'...... Please. ”

Nangong Piao, who thanked him, said something like "It's nothing", Zhang Longqian smiled and watched the two turn around and leave, and unconsciously his eyes fell on the silent back.

He...... Will you leave like this and return to the family that has no warmth at all......

Then, she will never cross paths with him again.

The depths of his amber eyes swelled up with a completely different color from his smile, and Cang Yan, who had just taken two steps, suddenly stopped.

Because Zhang Longqian's fingers gently grabbed his shirt.

Almost unconsciously, she reached out and grabbed the figure that was about to go away.
