Chapter Thirty-Six: Waiting Downstairs in the Dormitory
Hearing the sound of the door curtain swaying, one of the people who was eating and drinking looked back at Ming Ling, who had a peaceful face, looked Ming Ling up and down, and then turned his head forward and said something to the others.
Under the scream of his stomach, what Ming Ling said to him couldn't arouse his curiosity at all, and after a plate of hearty meals, he devoured it, he hadn't eaten for a day today, Ming Ling's stomach was already empty, plus a day of refining qi, and now he was hungry.
And those people turned their eyes to Ming Ling from time to time, whispering, as if they were discussing something, Ming Ling, who only cared about eating, did not know about their discussion, under the relative hunger, the supplement of food, it seems that people can feel that the body is rapidly absorbing the nutrients in it, for a while, the meal has been swept away by Ming Ling, burping, Ming Ling picked up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, when passing by the group, vaguely heard about the upgrade game, because Yang Yan Academy as the henchman of Yang Yan City, the annual upgrade game can be said to be known to everyone, so Ming Ling did not care too much about itγ
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, I left the restaurant.
... ...
Passing through the stone arch and on the way to the dormitory, under the light of the street lamps, perhaps because the class had not yet ended, there was no one, only the mottled shadows of the trees on both sides of the road, the breeze blowing, the leaves swaying, and the shadows on the ground also changed various postures.
Unexpectedly, Ming Ling saw the two people not far ahead, and the conversation he heard, in relative silence, although the two of them had very small voices, but Ming Ling could hear clearly, these two people were tall and thin and one short and fat, in the bright moonlight, Ming Ling could vaguely see the face of this short and fat man, his appearance was a little ugly, and he was dressed with "Yang Yan" The two-character blue robe, because of its short and fat, makes the effect of this robe a little funny, a body like him, no matter what, always has a sense of nondescriptry, and the tall and thin man has his back to Ming Ling, so he can't see his face clearly, I saw that he was wearing a light cyan robe, and the shape painted on the robe has snakes and scorpions, which is very mysterious.
"What the patriarch commands, it must be done and it must be done quietly...", the tall and thin man said in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, Elder, just this academy promotion competition, I will definitely ruin that guy's reputation. The short and fat man had a confident face, and there was a fierce streak on his face as he spoke.
"Okay, be cautious in everything, don't be discovered by that guy, otherwise the patriarch will blame you, and I can't afford it. The tall and thin man's tone was as calm as ever, but there was an imperceptible tremor in his gentle voice.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control, apart from that incident, does the patriarch have any other orders?"
"No, that's the only thing that matters right now. β
"Okay, tell the patriarch, I will definitely live up to my mission. β
... ...
Ming Ling stopped, didn't make a sound, and listened to their conversation quietly, it seemed that it was about the academy upgrade competition, in Ming Ling's opinion, although the conversation did not mention what it was, but it would definitely not be a good thing, the thought in his heart turned, and he faintly felt that there might be some conspiracy between the two?
The two people in front of him never found out about the existence of Ming Ling, and they didn't know that what they said had heard into his ears.
"Stay safe yourself, I have to go back. β
"Okay, Elder walks slowly. β
...
Hearing this, Ming Ling subconsciously shook his body and took cover with a stone jar as a cover, and several sunflowers were planted in this stone jar, which seemed to imply prosperity.
At this moment, Ming Ling's face moved slightly, and a very light footstep came from a distance, Ming Ling could see through the afterglow that the two people had separated, and the tall and thin person was leaving, Ming Ling quietly looked at the figure of this person, slowly moving away, a rather alert look, suddenly, Ming Ling's face changed, only to see that person actually got up and jumped in the air, turned into a ghost and went into the distance, like a flash in the pan, disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
The night breeze was blowing, blowing from a distance, Ming Ling's pace was slow, walking like a normal walk, and the scene just now made him a little surprised.
"With such a figure, in the old man's opinion, this guy must have reached the purple grade. Long Fei's voice suddenly came into Ming Ling's ears, and the voice sounded very sure.
"Sneaky, senior, I suspect there's something wrong with these two individuals. Ming Ling judged.
Long Fei continued: "Indeed, their conversation sounds like there is definitely some conspiracy, although the old man does not know much about your identity and clothing when he first enters your Yangyan City, but the old man can judge very accurately, the clothes of the extremely ugly person are like a minister in the city, but as for why he came to the academy, the old man does not know." β
"That's right, the person's costume just now is indeed the costume of the minister of the city, why did he come to the academy, from their mouths, it seems to be related to the academy promotion competition. The old man suddenly said as well.
The originally strong puzzle in Ming Ling's eyes gradually dissipated, "The Academy Upgrade Competition, once a year in Yangyan Academy, determines whether each grade of the academy can be upgraded, and whether the efforts of this year have been in vain, as for what kind of conspiracy the two of them have, although they don't have a clue, but presumably if the conspiracy succeeds, the entire academy will be implicated." β
"What could it be?" Long Fei wondered.
The old man continued: "No matter what it is, when the time comes, act on the opportunity, tonight is the one who hears this conversation, you are responsible, so refining qi and becoming stronger at the moment is fundamental, at least at that time, you can also help to prevent the breeding of this conspiracy." Although the old man did not know what the conspiracy was, his words were obvious.
Ming Ling nodded and said, "Okay, teacher." β
"Time counted, it should be the day after tomorrow for the academy promotion competition, now go and inform the girl, if you want to get the gas device before the academy promotion competition, you have to travel overnight tonight. The old man reminded.
Ming Ling's eyes rolled, "Indeed, there is only one day left." Saying that, Ming Ling walked slowly for a while, and when he arrived at the downstairs of the mixed dormitory, he began to wander, patiently waiting for the cat, this mixed dormitory building looked the same as other buildings from the outside, there was nothing special.
I don't know how long I waited, in the process, Mingling could clearly hear the noisy and noisy sounds of other dormitory buildings, obviously he had eaten and started to wash, but Mingling didn't see the cat's figure, but Mingling still waited patiently, without any anxiety or complaint on his face.
"Mingling, that little girl can't already be in the dormitory, right? Didn't that little girl tell you that if you can't wait, you will go to the dormitory to find her?" the old man asked.
Ming Ling raised his eyes and glanced at the dormitory building, "Probably not, teacher, after all, it is outside the school, and it may be better than the end of class in the school, not to mention that it will take time to come back." β
