Chapter 53: Truth
Nothing happened.
……
……
Nothing happened.
In the heavy rain, Guichen opened his eyes wide and looked at the white hands in a daze.
It was someone else's unfamiliar hand, it was a familiar hand to him.
Slender and soft at first sight, full of blood blisters and hard calluses when you say goodbye. But it was these blood bubbles that made him know what kind of person this was, and let him know that there were such people in this world.
After many days and nights with her for a short but already existing, Guichen did not know when he found out that she would get up in the night and leave alone.
Leave to practice swords.
Sometimes it's sword practice, sometimes it's rope skipping, sometimes it's training he can't see the name.
Then he watched as little by little she achieved what he thought he couldn't do.
"I want to be a cultivator." Then she became a practitioner.
"I want to go to Nanchu." Then she took him and everyone alive to Nanchu.
When did it start? He felt that she could do almost anything.
When she said that she had decided to become a fire magician, Guichen unknowingly believed that if it was her, she would be the most talented person in the world for fire magic.
She should be such a proud son of the sky.
Even if she's just a fifteen-year-old girl.
But at this time, in the final screening of the four palaces on the Zihua Mountain in Nanchu, the most basic level of the fire academy to test the talent, Guichen watched Ying Baoyue pick up the flint and rub it.
Nothing happened.
There are no soaring flames, no fist-sized sparks, not even ...... There is not a trace of spark.
The next moment, Guichen saw the others who saw this scene behind Ying Baoyue, and there was an uproar.
Although the flint used by the Fire Academy for testing is not an ordinary product used in everyday people's homes, even if it is rubbed by ordinary people, at least a few traces of sparks can be rubbed, and the disciples of the Fire Academy who are in charge of this first level have tested countless cultivators, but they have never seen anyone who has no sparks.
The worst tester he'd ever seen in ten years was nothing more than a flame that couldn't be formed.
But I have never seen such a thorough ...... People who have nothing to do with the fire law.
Truth be told, it's not like that's what you find on the street.
It was as if anything from the woman's body that had anything to do with fire had been pulled clean.
This was too bizarre scene, but this disciple forgot to investigate the identity of this woman for a while.
"What's the matter with this man?"
"Something is wrong with the flint?"
"This man was born with a lack of fire? No, the ironsmith in the west of the city said that he gave birth to a son who lacked fire, but it was not so bad that the flint could not be wiped. ”
"Who is this? How does this hand look like a woman? ”
Woman? At this moment, not far away, Xu Yishan, who had been motionless under the stone tablet of the water courtyard and was more like a stone tablet than the stone tablet, moved his hand holding the hilt of the sword slightly.
"What? Apprentice? Is it someone you know? Mr. Zhenshan, who was bored and could only stare at his only apprentice, suddenly spoke.
Xu Yishan glanced at his master and did not speak.
He didn't like to talk to his master in the first place.
"What's the fuss about the fire courtyard?" But Mr. Zhenshan, who knew that his apprentice didn't like to talk, didn't care, and looked south with great interest, "The kid with the hat...... Well? ”
Xu Yishan paused when he heard his master's voice, and then looked at him again, "Those hands are a female doll." ”
Xu Yishan's eyes shone slightly.
He should have realized it a long time ago, when he saw that guy Chen Zichu actually appeared in the square of the final screening.
He knew that Chen Zichu was not stingy, but he didn't expect this kid to be so bold.
"What," Xu Yishan had tried his best to control his expression, and he knew that he had always been used to keeping a wooden face, but all of this could not be hidden from his master.
Mr. Zhenshan looked at Xu Yishan and narrowed his eyes, "Do you know her?" ”
Xu Yishan hoped that he did not know. But he only knows one woman in the world who dares to come here.
"Apprentice ......"
Xu Yishan closed his eyes and was about to answer, but at this moment, the commotion in front of the fire courtyard became more and more intense.
"Is it a woman?"
"How can a woman be in a place like this?"
"Female nun? Tear her hat off! ”
Xu Yishan sighed in his heart, clenched the hilt of his sword and looked south, and sure enough, he saw Chen Zichu with an anxious face, and he didn't know what to do, he took a deep breath, and he knew that that woman was a scourge!
And at this time, in front of the stone table in the fire courtyard in the south, everything was on the verge of getting out of control, and just when the fire courtyard disciple standing behind the stone table wanted to lift the Yingyue hat, Guichen rushed forward and hugged his hand, Chen Zichu wanted to block in front of the woman but was squeezed outside by the crowd.
In the chaos of shouting and scolding, Chen Zichu watched countless men rushing towards the woman, took a deep breath and was about to mobilize the true yuan of his whole body, when a loud shout suddenly sounded behind the stone tablet of the fire courtyard.
"Silence! What's going on! ”
All the crowd that was in a commotion because of the woman's appearance suddenly froze, and Yingbaoyue, who was clenching her wrist, bowed down and raised her head at the stone table, looking at the young man who walked out from behind the stone tablet.
He looked about the same age as Chen Zichu and the others, but the aura on his body was more aggressive than Chen Zichu and Xu Yishan, and he was wearing a bright red robe, and Ying Baoyue noticed that he was wearing an equally bright red ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and the style made her a little familiar.
And at the moment when the red-robed young man appeared, the disciple who was obviously older behind the stone table lowered his head in panic and hurriedly saluted.
"Senior brother forgiveness, there is a woman who actually came to participate in the screening, and the junior brothers wanted to deal with it, but they didn't think about ......it."
Big brother?
Ying Baoyue looked at the red-robed young man, and at this time, Chen Zichu finally squeezed out of the crowd and watched the red-robed young man change color.
"Oh no, why did Ye Siyuan come out, let's go quickly, didn't you little guard pass the first level, life and death are destined for us to go out and wait...... etc......"
Ying Baoyue didn't move, but asked softly, "Who is Ye Siyuan?" He's the elder brother of the Fire Academy? ”
Chen Zichu nodded, "That's right." He is the elder brother of the Fire Academy, and he is the son of the prime minister of Southern Chu. ”
Leaf...... Prime Minister of Southern Chu......
Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, "Don't tell me that he is Ye Jingshu's brother." ”
And don't tell me you guessed it casually. Chen Zichu sighed, "That's right, he is." ”
The Ye family has a queen, a national teacher's wife, a prime minister who is not finished, and a son of a senior brother in the fourth palace.
If it weren't for the fact that the current Southern Chu royal family was replaced by Emperor Taizu, otherwise I really don't know if this Southern Chu would have the surname Ye or Jiang.
But there is no doubt that in Southern Chu, in addition to the royal Jiang family, the Ye family is indeed powerful.
And looking at the Ye family's sister-in-law who was staring coldly at him in front of him, Ying Baoyue stood up straight.
"Who are you?" Ye Siyuan looked at the person wearing a hat across a stone table and did not dodge, his expression became more and more cold, "See that I don't take off the hat?!" ”
"I'm ......" Ying Baoyue was thinking about which name to use, but a fierce flame suddenly rushed in front of her.
Lift her hat!
