23. Consolidation
After Shu Hengxu also recovered, Nangong Piao asked the members of the medical team to send Shu Hengxu to the medical hall, and then slowly put away the silver needle.
Watching Nangong Piao pack up his things, Liao Lei slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, listening to the gloomy tone of others, but he himself felt that it was very flat and said: "Nangong, your ghost gate thirteen needles have practiced well, and you can already recruit souls." ”
Nangong Piao smiled a little embarrassedly: "I can only recruit souls now, and I can't recruit souls." ”
Zhang Longqian let out a light "huh" and said strangely: "Is that wisp of smoke just now their soul?" ”
"Can you see the dragon dive?" Nangong Piao looked at her with some surprise, and then suddenly said, "By the way, you have the highest level of spiritual power, no wonder...... That's right, that's their living soul, unlike the geist, ordinary people have to open their eyes to see it, but unfortunately I haven't opened it yet, and I can only feel their existence. ”
Nodding clearly, Zhang Longqian straightened his posture again, and then seriously bowed to Nangong Piao and Liao Lei.
"Young Master Lei, Nangong, thank you very much."
Nangong Piao hurriedly helped Zhang Longqian up, Liao Lei looked at her and said, "It was neither you nor your relatives and friends who were rescued, why thank us?" ”
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Longqian's face.
"Anyway, I asked you to do it, didn't I? And since you have accepted my request, of course I have to thank you. ”
Hearing this, Nangong Piao raised her eyebrows and smiled gently, while Liao Lei raised her eyebrows lightly and said nothing.
Glancing at the battle on the stage, Zhang Longqian looked at Zuo Ling, who was also paying attention to the situation on the stage, and asked with a smile: "Teacher Zuo Ling, this is the last game in the region, right?" ”
Zuo Ling nodded, smiled and looked at Zhang Longqian: "The winner of this game will be your opponent in the next round." ”
"Well, I know that." Nodding, Zhang Longqian glanced at the stage again, and then quickly retracted his gaze and said, "It's not good to continue to stay here, Teacher Zuo Ling, let's go first?" ”
Seeing Zuo Ling nodding in agreement, Zhang Longqian turned his back to the battlefield in the forbidden area, said "Let's go" to Liao Lei and Nangong Piao with a smile and walked forward, until she watched the two gradually come to her, she quietly looked back at the field.
The battle in the arena could not be said to be fierce, but it could be regarded as a wind and water, but the strange thing was that one of the students was standing calmly on the edge of the arena, except for laying a self-defense spell for himself, he never used it again, and it seemed that he had no intention of participating in the competition.
Obviously it was a team battle, but there was a more thorough one-on-two than Zhang Longqian's one, and there were actually only three people who really fought in a game, but in the face of such a scene, whether it was Zuo Ling or the audience in the stands, or even Zhang Longqian, no one felt that there was anything wrong with this.
It's just because the person who has one enemy and two but still has the upper hand with a reckless smile is named Guan Rongtu.
After watching the first two games in the region, Zhang Longqian naturally knew that the last game must be Guan Rongtu's appearance, so when she followed Nangong Piao and Liao Lei off the stage, paying attention to the two of them to start treatment, she didn't dare to look back at the people who walked on the field, but even so, she clearly felt the arrogant aura.
However, Guan Rongtu did not notice her.
Also, the group of students on the stage is obviously not an idle person, your back and forth makes Guan Rongtu let out a presumptuous and hearty laugh, how can he pay attention to a defeated subordinate who can't even remember his name?
Retracting his gaze and quickly catching up with Liao Lei and Nangong Piao who walked into the passage, Zhang Longqian smiled and chatted with them as he walked, looking as usual, but secretly clenched his hands.
But he trembled uncontrollably.
Soon the three of them arrived at the stands, which happened to be the corner where Cang Yan was staying, Zhang Longqian was about to say hello to him, but was grabbed by Bai Lu, who came in a hurry.
"Ah, Xiao Lu, Xiao Miao......"
Before she could finish a complete sentence, Zhang Longqian was drowned out by Bai Lu's curious inquiry, she kept asking what happened just now, what Nangong was doing when she floated over, why they had stayed down for so long, etc. Finally, under Bai Lu's constant questioning, she probably explained it clearly, Zhang Longqian only had time to talk to Cang Yan, but just said hello, but she didn't know what to say, she was hesitant for a long time, and felt a mess in her heart, she finally couldn't help but look away, and smiled at everyone who diverted the topic: "It's almost time, let's just go have a meal together, anyway, we have finished comparing both groups." ”
If this had been placed before, Bai Lu and Zhou Miao would definitely disagree, but after looking at Nangong Piao with an expectant face, Zhou Miao didn't say anything, and Bai Lu simply laughed.
"Yes, yes!"
couldn't help but smile secretly, and then looked at Liao Lei, who was about to lose her snickering expression, Zhang Longqian proposed: "Then let's go to a better place, which can be regarded as celebrating the promotion of both groups, huh...... How about Wangjiangnan? ”
"No problem!"
was happily discussing with everyone, but Nangong Piao's face suddenly changed, and then he raised his hand and stroked the bracelet on his wrist. Noticing that the color of the usually inconspicuous bracelet changed slightly like a flame, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel a little magical, and then he heard Nangong Piao's apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, I'm going to leave with Yan first, something ......"
Bai Lu immediately showed an undisguised look of disappointment, but she didn't complain because of this, after all, everyone knew that Nangong Piao must have something important to leave so suddenly, no wonder he.
"Oh", after thinking about it, Zhang Longqian still asked, "Then can you still come to eat together?" ”
"Hmm...... It may be later. ”
"That's fine, it's okay to come, let's go order food first and wait for you."
"This ......" After noticing Bai Lu's aggrieved and expectant gaze, Nangong Piao still nodded, "Okay then, then you have to wait a while." ”
"It's okay."
apologized to Bai Lu again, and Nangong Piao and Cang Yan left in a hurry.
looked at Zhou Miao, who was far away from Liao Lei, and then looked at Bai Lu, who had been watching Nangong drift away until he couldn't see him at all, Zhang Longqian, who didn't want the atmosphere to cool down, urged everyone to go outside the arena while talking about some light topics, Ji Haiyun naturally chatted with her, and soon Bai Lu, who was originally a little depressed, also joined the topic, and the group of five people was quite lively. When they walked down the stands, several people were already discussing what they wanted to eat, and then Zhou Miao looked at Zhang Longqian and interjected lightly.
"I've lost all my money, you invite me."
The topic suddenly jumped from "food" to "money", Zhang Longqian couldn't help but cry and laugh, but the other party was Zhou Miao after all, and she expected it to say this, so she nodded with a smile, and Zhou Miao was silent with satisfaction.
It seemed that he was reminded by Zhou Miao's words just now, and Liao Lei, who became out of shape as soon as he saw Zhou Miao, finally returned to his usual appearance at this time, and then he turned his head to look at the stands on the side.
“…… That's right, my bet. ”
