Three people strolling around the lake.

The clear water of the lake is caressed by a gentle breeze, setting off circles and rippling waves.

"Tell me, what did you come here for?"

Wu Fan has no romantic feelings at all, he goes straight to the point and goes straight to the topic.

Fortunately, the two girls didn't have the heart to chat, and Jiang Ruoyu asked worriedly: "Wu Fan, you are in such a hurry to give the students a month's death order, is there something you are hiding from us?"

Was it discovered?

Wu Fan was shocked, although the two girls may have noticed something, but now they can't tell the truth if they say anything!

It's not that they don't trust them, but it only adds to the panic.

Wu Fan shook his head and denied: "No, how can I hide something from you......?"

"Really?"

Jiang Ruoyu stared straight into Wu Fan's eyes, as if she wanted to see the correct answer from them.

"Really. ”

Wu Fan did not avoid Jiang Ruoyu's gaze, but nodded very firmly, his eyes full of sincerity.

It is naturally wrong to lie, but in this case, Wu Fan can only bite the bullet.

But Jiang Ruoyu didn't seem to be persuaded by Wu Fan's clumsy acting skills, her face was full of doubts, and she asked, "Then why did you suddenly issue this request?"

Wu Fan looked down at the calm lake and said nothing.

Long.

He suddenly said, "Do you know about the Alchemist Exchange Competition?"

The two girls were stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Alchemist Exchange Competition?"

"That's right! It was jointly organized by the Tianchen Kingdom and the Red Fire Kingdom, and the winner could have the right to use a valley in the border area of the two countries for three years! The heaven and earth elements were extremely rich, and many precious elixirs were bred, and it was a place that alchemists could dream of...... "Wu Fan explained.

"But this ...... What does it have to do with what you did today?" Jiang Ruoyu's doubts became even more serious.

Wu Fan took a breath, then slowly exhaled, and said, "I was invited by Elder Xu to participate in this year's competition. ”

Mu Yanran frowned: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Maybe......"

Wu Fan's expression gradually became serious, and he said word by word: "This alchemist exchange competition is related to the strategic resources of the two countries' elixirs, and its status is extremely important! Elder Xu once reminded me: The Red Fire Kingdom is likely to be secretly blackmailed. This time, there are many dangers along the way, maybe if I am not careful, I will be buried in other places. This is also done today to improve the students' strength as much as possible before I leave, so that even if the worst happens, the students can ......."

"Wait!"

Before Wu Fan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Ruoyu.

Her beautiful eyes were full of consternation, and she said in disbelief: "This is a competition jointly organized by the two countries!

Wu Fan replied quietly: "For the sake of victory, you can do whatever it takes." ”

"That's so dangerous.

.... Can you not go?" Jiang Ruoyu pursed her lips and finally said this.

Wu Fan smiled: "You care about me?"

"You ......"

Jiang Ruoyu was extremely angry, and was about to teach Wu Fan a lesson as usual, when he raised his head suddenly, he found that Wu Fan was looking at him with a smile on his face.

Under the reflection of the sun, Wu Fan's smile seemed to fall into a piece of golden light, indescribable warmth and healing.

At that moment, Jiang Ruoyu's heart was like an electric shock, and she couldn't stop beating wildly......

"You...... What nonsense...... I was just...... I'm afraid I'll never learn to cook again......"

Gradually, a layer of crimson climbed onto Jiang Ruoyu's pretty face, and it looked like it was dyed with a wisp of red, which was particularly moving.

"Oh?"

The corners of Wu Fan's mouth rose, and he asked, "But if you just want to learn how to cook, you can also learn recipes......

"I ......"

Jiang Ruoyu was startled, and then came back to her senses and realized how lame the excuse she had just made was.

Mu Yanran couldn't stand it anymore, she glared at the two of them, and said angrily: "You guys are enough...... If it goes on like this, I'm going to get goosebumps......"

"Yanran, you ......"

Jiang Ruoyu was ashamed to fight with Mu Yanran in order to avoid this embarrassing atmosphere.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ruoyu straightened the corners of her clothes and asked again, "Wu Fan, can you not go?"

Wu Fan shook his head: "No, as a Heavenly Master, I personally promised Elder Xu, so naturally I can't go back." What's more, although this exchange competition may seem dangerous, it is actually a precious opportunity to broaden my horizons and increase my alchemy experience! If I only want to be comfortable and don't want to take risks, how can I go one step further in the future?"

"But this ......"

Jiang Ruoyu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Yanran.

She shook her head and motioned to Jiang Ruoyu not to interfere with Wu Fan's decision anymore.

Since the last time she witnessed Wu Fan pass two assessments in one day, Mu Yanran realized that Wu Fan was no longer the same person as them.

The distance between them will only grow with the passage of time......

until it is difficult to cross......

What is the ambition of the bird?

Although Jiang Ruoyu's dissuasion seemed to be for Wu Fan's sake, why didn't it add difficulties to his way forward?

The dragon of the abyss must have been transformed through thousands of tribulations!

A person who only covets pleasure in the comfort circle, no matter how many opportunities he is given, it is only in vain......

Jiang Ruoyu understood what Mu Yanran meant, she lowered her head and was silent.

In fact, why doesn't she understand this truth?

It's just that caring is messy......

"Actually......" Wu Fan said, "not only the students, but also the two of you!

Hopefully, after January, you'll all be able to break through to the Great Mage!"

"Why?"

Jiang Ruoyu was puzzled, she was really puzzled!

Could it be that this is also Wu Fan's plan to make more plans for the worst-case scenario?

So that you can keep a memory?

But such thoughts...... She'd rather not!

Wu Fan blinked and said with a smile: "Do you believe it or not? As long as you do this, I will be able to come back alive!"

Jiang Ruoyu looked at him stunned, his eyes were clear, he didn't look like he was joking, the expression on his face was so calm and calm, it seemed to contain great confidence.

The ghost sent the gods, and she said, "Maybe...... It's time for me to think about being lazy......"

Wu Fan: "???"

......

Rite Department Lang Naka House.

Zhao Qinghua walked around the room in a hurry, sometimes looking out the window, as if waiting for some news, and sometimes sitting at the desk, holding a book to read, but he couldn't read it at all.

As the only son of Rebu Langzhong, he grew up spoiled since he was a child.

Whatever he wants, as long as he can do it, he will buy it for him.

The only consequence of this approach was that he became more and more arrogant and domineering, as if he had become a well-known incompetent person in the aristocratic circles of Shengchen City.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to get to know Wang Wenbo and others, and finally heard about the spicy noodles from him.

Zhao Qinghua knows his own family affairs, he understands that he has a few catties and a few taels, if he relies on literature and ability alone, he will not have the opportunity to become a big official at all, and continue to maintain a luxurious life.

However, some time ago, there was a fourth-grade official on the side of the ministry who died of illness, and the position became vacant.

This is a fat gap with less money and more rights!

A lot of people are staring at it!

Zhao Qinghua is no exception, originally he was just fantasizing, but now he has the possibility of realizing it......

That's spicy strips!

I heard that the servant of the ministry is old, and he has recently contracted a cold, and his appetite is not good, and it is difficult to swallow.

It is very similar to General Gu's situation!

If you get this spicy strip yourself and give it to the servant......

It is likely that as soon as he was happy, he directly gave himself this position!

Therefore, the key to whether he can get this official position depends on whether he can find spicy noodles!

At this moment, a shout from a servant suddenly came from outside the door: "Childe, Childe! I found it, we found the herb shop!"

When Zhao Qinghua heard this, his breathing suddenly became short, and he hurriedly ran to the servant and asked, "Is this really true?"

The servant ran out of breath, bent over and gasped, "It's ...... ...... of the City of Celebration Southwest corner ......"

Zhao Qinghua didn't care about anything else, and directly took the rest of the slaves and rushed to the herb shop in a hurry.
