(Seven years later)

Mortal realm, thousand spirit clan, emperor concubine.

Emperor Yan, an inconspicuous small country on the border of the Thousand Spirits, with a total population of only more than 20,000 people, the climate here is suitable, and all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants bloom all year round, because it is located in the easternmost part of the Thousand Spirits, and the people who live here can always see the sun rising in the morning for the first time.

As soon as the egg hour arrived, before the sun came out, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old was already practicing his sword in Xiyunpo outside the palace, and for seven years, whether it was windy or rainy, he would come here on time every day.

The man's face was sallow, without the slightest sense of delicacy, the bags under his eyes were slightly swollen, the eye sockets were surrounded by a faint circle of black, and the towering and abrupt cheekbones made the original vicissitudes of life look even more haggard.

This man's name is Mo Huaiyu, the fourth son of Lan Zi, the king of the Thousand Spirits Clan, many years ago, he brought his young son from the distant Thousand Spirits Clan Royal City to settle here, and this stay was seven years. Time flies, and Mo Huaiyu still remembers the scene when he first arrived in the emperor's concubine, when his son had just been born, and now, he is seven years old.

An hour later, the man's forehead was sweating slightly, and after a brief tidying up, he rode to a nearby tavern, which was not large, and there were only six tables in the entire lobby.

Mo Huaiyu routinely came to the north facing window, and then shouted at the young shopkeeper:

"The old three!"

After a while, the shopkeeper came with five catties of ice spring wine, two catties of beef and a large plate of peanuts.

Mo Huaiyu threw a few copper coins on the table with a snap, and then buried himself in the wine, and he didn't say a second word during the whole process.

The tavern is close to the palace, and most of the people who come and go are regular customers, and almost everyone who comes in and out here has seen Mo Huaiyu, and they all know some stories about him.

Mo Huaiyu's princess is called Shi Yu, is the sister of the emperor Wang Shixue, seven years ago, Mo Huaiyu's child was born, because of the abnormal celestial phenomena at birth, their family was soon besieged by the Thousand Shadow Clan, Thousand Shadow Clan Wang Ling Yifeng asserted that Mo Huaiyu's child will become a threat to the Thousand Shadow Clan in the future, so at the cost of the entire imperial concubine, forced Mo Huaiyu to hand over the child, Thousand Spirit Clan Wang Lan Zi's cultivation is not as good as Ling Yifeng, in order to keep the emperor, he can only order Mo Huaiyu to hand over the child who has just been out for three days, Shi Yu can not protect the child, After a period of great joy and sorrow, he died less than two days later.

Mo Huaiyu, who was extremely grief-stricken, left the Thousand Spirits Clan Royal City after a quarrel with his father, at that time, the Thousand Shadows Clan didn't know that Shi Yu gave birth to a pair of twin sons, Ling Yifeng took away Mo Huaiyu's eldest son, and beside Mo Huaiyu, there was a child with a similar appearance to the eldest son, his name was Xingluo.

Xingluo was born with a red snow cherry blossom mark on his chest, and not only that, but his body was much thinner than that of children of the same age.

No one knew that this child named Xingluo was Reincarnated in the mortal realm seven years ago, and that abnormal celestial phenomenon was also caused by his birth.

The young Xingluo didn't get much love from his father, and for as long as he could remember, he had been raised by his uncle Shixue, and Mo Yu was an alcoholic, and he hardly cared about him.

Xingluo's home is located on the north side of the palace, a small courtyard, in addition to four houses of different sizes, the only thing that attracts attention is the snow cherry tree at the back door of the courtyard, which was originally an open space, and the day after Xingluo and his father moved into the small courtyard, a snow cherry tree grew out of thin air on the open space.

After breakfast, Xingluo came to the snow cherry tree to wait for the arrival of his brother Ailuo, Ailuo is Shixue's eldest son, the age of Xingluo is fifteen years old, in the years of the emperor's concubine, Ailuo has always regarded Xingluo as his own brother.

Today is Xingluo's first day of admission to Diling Academy, he thought that Mo Huaiyu would rush to see him to the academy early in the morning, but he waited for an hour, and he didn't see his father's figure, Xingluo was very disappointed, but he seemed to be accustomed to it, in his memory, from childhood to adulthood, his father has always lived in his own world, he will even forget Xingluo's birthday, how can he remember such a trivial matter as his admission.

The attendant who took care of the daily life of Mo Huaiyu and his son in the small courtyard couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only run to the palace to find Ai Luo.

During the time of waiting for his brother's arrival, Xingluo practiced illusion alone under the snow cherry tree, and came out of the netherworld, he should have forgotten everything in his previous life, but Xiao Mo took it upon himself to retain all his memories of spiritual power cultivation, and these were not known to the young Xingluo, he only knew that no matter what kind of skill he cultivated, he was faster than children of the same age.

When he arrived, the sound of horses' hooves finally came from outside the courtyard, Xingluo heard that it was his brother's voice, so he quickly stopped cultivating, he was a cautious person, no matter who was before or after, he rarely let people see his true ability, even if it was Ai Luo, who was close to him.

"Uncle is really good, you can ignore such a big thing as your admission!" As soon as he entered the door, Ai Luo shouted loudly, he had already complained about Mo Yu behind his back more than once, but complaining is complaining, even if Mo Huaiyu is unbearable, he is still a prince of the Thousand Spirit Clan, in terms of identity and status, he is even much higher than Emperor Concubine Wang Shixue.

But Xingluo is different, although he is the prince of the Thousand Spirits Clan, but his name and identity have never appeared in front of the world, in order to keep the last bit of bloodline of Mo Huaiyu and his wife, Lan Zi never even wrote Xingluo's name into the royal roster of the Thousand Spirits Clan, before he has enough cultivation to fight against the Thousand Shadows Clan, this may be the best protection for Xingluo.

Seeing his brother, Xingluo smiled bitterly, "It's not the first time for him, I've long been used to it." ”

Ai Luo sighed angrily, "His temper is only something you can bear, forget it, let's not mention him, I'll take you to Diling Academy to sign up, my father knows that you are going to enroll, so he said hello to Dean Diling Academy in the morning." ”

"It's bothering my uncle and brother." Xingluo responded politely.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Xingluo followed his brother to the Diling Academy, which was three miles away from the palace.

Along the way, Ai Luo did not forget to tell Xingluo about the history of Di Ling, Di Ling is the largest junior college in Di Ling, the school has a history of more than 1,000 years, Di Ling's admission conditions are also very simple, as long as you are at least seven years old and can afford the tuition, basically those who come do not refuse, the reason why the tuition fee is mentioned, it is because the tuition fee of Di Ling is far more expensive than all colleges of the same level, despite this, there is always an endless stream of students who come to Di Ling every year.

"You know what? Of the thirty monks recruited by Jialan Academy each year, at least five graduated from Di Ling. Arrow said with a smug tone.

Speaking of Jialan, it is the most prestigious higher education college of the Thousand Spirit Clan, the academy only recruits thirty monks every year, and the enrollment conditions have always been very strict, the cultivation needs to break through the fifth level of the Yuan Spirit, and the age cannot exceed fifteen years old.

"I heard my uncle say that my brother also graduated from Jialan." Xingluo asked with some envy.

"That's right, I entered Diling at the age of seven, was admitted to Jialan at the age of thirteen, and graduated from Jialan at the age of twenty-three. Ai Luo smiled and said: "Xiao Luo, you are also seven years old this year, as long as you are diligent, you will still have a chance to break through the fifth-level Yuan Spirit before the age of fifteen, and when the time comes, even if it is for your father's sake, Jialan Academy will have to give you priority." ”

Hearing Arrow mention his father, Xingluo's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, he turned his head and said, "My affairs have nothing to do with him, I am me, and he is him." ”

Arrow sighed and didn't speak again.

From Xingluo's house to Diling Academy, it was only half a pillar of incense kung fu to ride a horse, and when the two arrived at Diling Academy, the door was already empty, and only Diling Dean Xin was still wandering anxiously.

As soon as he saw Arrow, Shin Yi stepped forward with a displeased face and said, "It's started when the freshman registration starts, why did you arrive so late!" ”

Ai Luo jumped off the horse with a playful face and said: "Senior Brother Xinyi is angry, blame me for not looking at the time, and I will punish myself with three cups to make amends to you in a while." ”

"You don't come, who is your senior brother." Shinya pretended to be angry.

Speaking of Xinyi, he is the only dean in the history of Diling Academy who entered Jialan but did not get Jialan's graduation bracelet, Xinyi has a good talent since he was a child, he was admitted to Jialan at the age of twelve, and at the age of eighteen, he reached Jialan's graduation level, but at what time, he fell in love with the princess of Roy Country who studied in Jialan, and in the five years he pursued Jianputo, he almost abandoned all his cultivation, but until Jiantong graduated and left school, he failed to get the other party's heart, The disheartened letter also packed his bags and left Jialan the day after he left, and it was not until three years later that he received a letter from Jialan, saying that he had been removed from Jialan because he did not take the graduation assessment within the specified time.

Fortunately, he did not give up his cultivation because of this, and in the following years, his cultivation continued to improve, plus his father was the former dean of Di Ling, and two years ago, he was officially appointed by Shi Xue as the dean of Di Ling.

While Arrow and Xinyi were talking, Xingcan looked around the environment of the college, the overall appearance of the college was blue-gray, the road under his feet was all paved with cyan pebbles, and the two sides of the road were planted with rows of red maple trees.
