"The real intent?"

Hearing this, Ning Yue muttered in confusion, and soon, he made his own conjecture. Δ net.

"The New Frontier Contest is organized by the Snow Dragon Empire, as long as it is within the scope of the empire's governance, any power sect, even if it is a small vassal country, has a chance to qualify for the competition. I think it should be for the follow-up exhibition of the empire, selecting and reserving talents. Shen Ding's obsession should be hoping to take this opportunity to wash away the shame of his father in his heart, right? ”

Fang Huanlan shook her head lightly and replied, "Your conjecture is reasonable, but I can only say that it is only half right." Yes, the new talent Dabi is to select the next talent for the empire, but there is one thing you overlook. Why is the event scheduled for late autumn and early winter? Although the martial artists above the Spirit Awakening Realm are far less affected by the cold and warmth of the season under normal conditions than ordinary people, it is not impossible to completely isolate them. In such cold weather, I'm afraid I can't exert my full strength. ”

The thoughts in his heart were constantly changing, Ning Yue quickly deduced in his mind, and then replied: "The new big competition will be held in late autumn and early winter...... Could it be that it is to sharpen a new warrior who can fight normally in any harsh environment? ”

"It's closer. Forget it, it's not interesting to guess any longer, just tell you the answer. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Huanlan put the spoon back into the casserole, stood up, came to the window and raised her hand to open the curtain. Outside the window, there was a lonely night.

"Autumn, harvest season. After that, it was a cold winter when everything withered. Many living beings know that in order to survive that long winter, they need to stock up on enough supplies in advance, and the most important thing is food. We are in the midst of a thriving metropolis in the empire, and we may not feel much about this, but we just feel that the price of certain ingredients may increase during the winter, and that's it. However, for remote areas, relatively poor villages and towns, many people may freeze to death and starve to death every year. ”

"These, do they have anything to do with the cutting-edge Dabi?"

Ning Yue was a little inexplicable, and looked out the window with Fang Huanlan's gaze, but all he could see was the capital city with few lights at night. In the distance, the Imperial City is relatively conspicuous.

Judging from the part he saw, it should be the south side of the imperial city.

Suddenly, Ning Yue reacted to something, and his heart shook violently.

What Fang Huanlan really looked at was not the night scene, let alone a certain place in Silver Wing City, but a direction.

In the north, the northern marshal guarded the frontier for decades.

"This is also the time when the demons start to frantically plunder human materials? Now at the border of the Northern Regions, the war is tight? ”

Ning Yue had heard of some rumors. Before being in the sect, it would be inconvenient for the outside world, especially the affairs of various empires, if you don't know about it, you will be inconvenient to go out to practice.

This time, Fang Huanlan nodded and responded, "Yes, the war is tight." The demons' own planting and animal husbandry techniques are actually not bad, but the popularity is too small. The north of the Snow Dragon Empire is a continuous barren valley that does not belong to the jurisdiction of any clan, and the demon branch that has lived on the other side for generations cannot receive enough food due to its special geographical environment. Every year, at the end of autumn, they plundered at their best. ”

"In other words, the talent selection of the new Dabi is to deal with the plundering invasion of the demons in this season?" Ning Yue was secretly shocked in his heart, and at the same time, he was also sighing why he hadn't thought of this before. It stands to reason that it's not hard to guess.

Turning around, Fang Huanlan's expression was much more solemn, and he said again in a deep voice: "Since the early days of the founding of the Snow Dragon Empire, there has never been a shortage of battles with demons in the Northern Frontier. Especially in the last decade, there have been more wars. The original intention of the cutting-edge Dabi is to call on all the cutting-edge people in the country not to forget that the life they can live in stability is actually the result of countless enthusiastic soldiers defending the frontier. Their strength will also contribute to the inheritance of this protective heart. In each of the new competitions, the winners must go to the frontier and defend against the demons to prove that they are worthy of that honor. The rest of the contestants, even those who were not selected in the qualification, are also qualified to go together to defend this hard-won peace. ”

"Are you prepared for danger in times of peace? Whether it is a sect or an aristocratic family, many new generations of disciples will only compete with each other, wasting their strength on unnecessary vanity. The competitive heart and the burning blood in the chest should be used in the most appropriate place. The new big competition, this time my fighting spirit is stronger. Regardless of whether I win or lose in the end, when the time comes, I will definitely go to the Northern Frontier. Ning Yue nodded solemnly, and suddenly another thought crossed his heart.

Probably, when Sima Haiwei helped him enter the academy and obtain the qualification to participate, maybe it also means this?

Fang Huanlan responded: "Well, no matter if you win or lose in the end, you will definitely go there." As the descendants of the Northern Marshal, whether I am or Shen Ding, we are destined to have the fate of this life, which is to defend the well-being of the people of the empire behind us in the snowy northern frontier. The reason why he and I came to the Imperial Academy for further study was to be able to absorb more tactical theories and take on more responsibilities when the time comes. ”

However, new doubts grew in Ning Yue's heart, and he asked: "But in this way, even if there is no quota for the new big competition, Shen Ding can return to the battlefield of the Northern Frontier." So, where did that terrible obsession with fighting come from? ”

In this regard, Fang Huanlan sighed: "Back then, his father, and my father, our father's generation, were all students of the Imperial Academy, and later went to the Northern Frontier through the New Talent Competition. Since then, it has changed a life. At the beginning, Shen Ding's father lost the city pass and died in the country, and he was loyal and dutiful. But Shen Ding still couldn't forgive his father, he resigned from Marshal Bei and agreed to inherit the title from his father, and returned to Silverwing City, intending to follow his father's path again. Then, with military exploits and glory, he washed away the shame in his heart. ”

Nodding and sighing, Ning Yue said again: "Then I'm curious, why didn't you choose to team up with him in the first place?" Instead, choose our current team that doesn't seem very reliable? ”

Fang Huanlan smiled: "Didn't Du Yinyin tell you? He's been courting me. But I only treat him as a brother, and his stubbornness makes me unable to agree. So, if you team up with him, it will be awkward in many places. And I don't have the same idea as him, I have to go through the path of my father's generation through the new cutting-edge and return to the battlefield. In fact, at first, I had no intention of participating in the new talent competition, but after Twilight Yinyin came to me and soaked with me several times, I reluctantly agreed. Hmph, now it seems that just because of the selection competition within the academy all the way, the original choice was not wrong. Now I am much stronger than myself a month ago, in all aspects. ”

With that, she sat back down in the chair in front of the bed and picked up the spoon in the casserole.

"Eat some more, while it's still cold."

"Hmm."

Ning Yue nodded, after talking for so long, he did feel hungry again.

While feeding Ning Yue, Fang Huanlan muttered: "Actually, I'm also curious, where does your obsession come from?" ”

Ning Yue shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's probably the competitive spirit that doesn't admit defeat." In other words, I'm too serious, once I start a duel competition, all I want is to win, and only the final victory can satisfy me. ”

"But you don't want to win for yourself, right?"

Fang Huanlan's feeding action suddenly stopped, looked at Ning Yue's eyes, and suddenly smiled.

"It's the same stubbornness in my heart that ordinary people can't understand, but for some reason, I think your this is more acceptable. If Shen Ding can do what you do, I probably will like him a little. ”

His cheeks suddenly turned slightly red, and Ning Yue replied casually: "Why do I think, you have something to say?" ”

Stretching out her finger and poking his forehead, Fang Huanlan laughed playfully: "What's the matter, you're thinking nonsense, beating my idea?" I admit that although I have less contact with you, I have more good feelings than Shen Ding. But it's only better. ”

With that, she glanced at the half-hidden door and smiled.

"It seems like it's time for a change. In the second half of the night, let your more familiar companion accompany you. ”

When the words fell, Fang Huanlan waved her hand and put down the spoon, suddenly jumped forward, and swept to the door in the blink of an eye to grab it. The door opened with lightning speed, and a figure entered the room with the door, toppling and nearly falling to the ground.

Fang Huanlan hurriedly stretched out her hand and whispered in the other party's ear: "Came earlier than the agreed, in fact, you care about him very much, right?" Don't worry, I can't rob you. ”

Suddenly, Twilight Yinyin, who was able to stand firmly, trembled again and almost fell again. She pursed her lips and shouted, "Lan Lan, what are you talking nonsense about?" I just can't sleep tonight, and when I hear someone talking here, I come over and have a look? ”

"Uh-huh, I understand."

Giggling, Fang Huanlan pushed Du Yinyin, beckoned away, and helped her close the door by the way.

In the room, only the two of them were left alone, and Twilight Yinyin turned her head to look at Ning Yue, who was looking at her inexplicably, turned her head and snorted, "Yes, I finally woke up." I thought you'd have to sleep until the new Dabi starts. ”

Ning Yue smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid even now, it's not a few days before the opening, right?" ”

Twilight Yin glared and snorted, "It's good to know." Another point, really, as the direct knight of the first princess of my dignified empire, you actually fought Shen Ding in such a simple and rude way on the field that day, it was just a street thug brawl, it was too embarrassing. Next time, never allow that! ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Yue nodded again and again, anyway, he had already learned a little, it was useless to argue with Du Yinyin, just go along with her, don't make any trouble.

Twilight Yinyin said again, "Also, hurry up and get better." The next big competition is going to be tougher and less powerful - I mean, if you have one less member of the team, it puts more pressure on everyone else, so you can't continue to lie in bed and be lazy! ”

"This ...... I'll try my best. ”

"Also, huh...... Forget it, let's not mention it yet. This time, even if you did a good job, at least you didn't disappoint me, and I have the right to praise you, but don't be complacent. ”

"Hey, where is the praise for your tone?"

"Ning Yue, as a subordinate of this princess, do you dare to have an opinion? Believe it or not, I'm going to castrate you right now! ”

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated."

"Very good, looks like you're trying to die!"

"Don't do it, are you still doing it? Put the dagger away, I'm already badly injured, don't mess around! ”

In the corridor, Fang Huanlan, who was leaning against the wall, listened to the noise coming from the room, shook her head with a smile, and finally got up to leave.

"The two of them have a really good relationship."
