"You're back." Linlu sat quietly in the living room, looking at Jiujiu who had returned from outside.

"Well, go and see his condition, his ability seems to have grown a lot."

"But it's still too far from our goal."

"There's no way to do this, and it's not something that can be pulled out and fueled." Jiujiu lifted his shoes and gestured to Linlu.

"Remember to put away the plates, be careful of being discovered by Su Xiao."

"What if you find out, huh." Linlu was a little unconvinced, but he obediently put away the plate and walked towards the room with his shoes.

And the door of the room, which was originally forbidden and locked, was opening at random at the moment, without the slightest shadow of aura fluctuations.

After returning to the room, Linlu asked with some eagerness, "How far has he grown?" ”

"I've basically mastered emotional absorption, but I'm not used to understanding it yet."

"What's the difference between those things?" Linlu sighed, as if remembering something.

"Yes, the so-called emotion is actually malice." Jiujiu leaned against the wall a little weakly, looking out of the window with complicated eyes.

"There is malice in all emotions, and people are born with malice.

Even the most insipid-looking people will have hidden malice in their hearts. ”

"And only when Su Xiao understands those malices can he absorb them and transform them into his own power." Lin Lu opened his mouth lightly, a little melancholy.

"This is Alice's awakening. It is only by relying on this strength that we can break free from the shackles. Jiujiu sighed, seeming a little lost.

Even though I know in my heart that I just take what I need, why does my heart still hurt?

……

After resting for a while, Su Xiao had to take Chu Yuan and Yelian to participate in the rest of the competition.

Although the battle of the Yuan Ling was lost, if the battle between the artifacts and the battle of the spirit objects was brought back, it would not be a disgrace to the academy.

But the results were somewhat surprising.

Although Chu Yuan won the battle for artifacts, it was only a narrow victory, and the alchemy works that Yu Nian took out were not under Chu Yuan at all, and even better than Chu Yuan in some aspects.

As for the battle of spiritual objects, I thought that the existence of the bug of the Night Lotus could crush the other party, but the blood sacrifice that didn't come to terms defeated the Night Lotus and won the battle of the spiritual objects.

As for the scores, it doesn't matter, after all, the Yuan Spirit Battle accounts for most of the points in this academy battle, and the rest of the artifact battle and the spirit object battle are just a formality.

Although he was not surprised by this result, Su Xiao still felt a little melancholy.

After all, even if it is a best-of-three game, it is his own side that loses.

In this case, the agreement that Qinghe made with himself before will not be counted.

Su Xiao didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed?

Maybe that's good, but he knows it.

Neither side has the right to live a peaceful life and retreat to the mountains and forests, whether it is themselves or Qinghe, it is the same.

"What are you thinking?" Qing He didn't know when he sat next to Su Xiao, dragging his chin with his hand, dressed in casual clothes, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Senior sister, you are ......" Su Xiao hesitated for a long time, and didn't think of the right words.

"What? Isn't it for me? Qinghe stood up and spun around, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's suitable, it's good-looking!" Su Xiao was curious about how Qinghe suddenly changed to this style, since the parties had no objections, the praise was over.

"If there were no Yuan Ling, we would all be ordinary people, so we would sit here lazily until it was dark, and then the two of us would quietly look at the stars, leaning together until our stomachs growled." Speaking of this, a trace of expectation appeared on Qing He's face. globe

"It would be nice if it could be like that."

Su Xiao nodded, but didn't know how to answer.

He knew it was impossible, but he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere by saying it directly.

"Alright. The daydream is done. It's time to eat. Qing He smiled and took Su Xiao's hand, and said in a low voice:

"Although you didn't win today, but in view of your good performance, I can agree to your request for promotion, how about it, do you want to be promoted?"

Su Xiao shuddered, subconsciously clenched the softness of his palm, and after reacting, his face turned red, and Qinghe was very happy to see it.

"Is that all it takes, huh?" Qing He tilted his head to look at Su Xiao, his eyes full of banter.

Su Xiao coughed lightly twice, nodded, and shook his head again.

"In that case, I'll promise you." Qing He thought about it, and said to Su Xiao with a wicked smile.

"This, this ......" Su Xiao looked at Qing He a little nervously, not knowing how to answer.

And Qing He smiled playfully and said, "It's just a pity." There is a 180-day cool-down period from the first to the second. So be patient and wait, huh. ”

Su Xiao instantly understood something, and looked at Qing He helplessly: "Childish!" ”

"Hmph, you care about me." Qinghe was like an ordinary girl, her cheeks bulged out angrily, and Su Xiao, who was watching it, felt a little deer in her heart.

"I was wrong, where are we going?" Su Xiao scratched her head and chose to admit defeat.

"Well, let me think about it." Qing He smiled mischievously, put his hands behind his back and spun around.

"It's up to you, you're a boy."

"I'm not familiar with the Black Iron City. Besides, it's not you who pays the bill in the end. ”

"Are you just eating and drinking like that?" Qing He pinched Su Xiao's ears with a little disgust, but his eyes were full of hope.

She hadn't been so relaxed in a long time.

Since six years ago, my sister died in front of my eyes.

Ever since his body was marked with the mark of God, he has become stronger and stronger, and the pollution has also intensified.

Since I locked all my emotions and distractions in my heart, I wrapped myself in a thick cocoon.

It's rare to enjoy the time that a normal girl should have like now.

It's just the right time, it's not too late.

Although it was only for a moment, Qing He actually had the idea of eloping with Su Xiao.

"People like us have no future." Qing He raised his hands above his head and crossed them in the air, then peeked into the sunset in the distance from the gap, and sighed heavily.

Su Xiao gently pulled her hand down, then held it hard, and said seriously: "Even so, we have to move towards that dream that will not come true." ”

Qing He smiled mockingly and asked rhetorically, "Then what is your dream, savior?" There are some things that can't be changed......"

"How do you know if you don't try." Su Xiao looked at Qing He seriously, without the slightest hint of banter or joke.

"I woke up dreaming of being a savior, but I couldn't save anyone, but my dream now is to create the world you want."

Qing He looked at Su Xiao's eyes, as if there was a light shining out, shining.

"I just want an ordinary world like the one I just did."

"Then I will choose this path where the end is ordinary."

"An ordinary road that belongs to us."
