Chapter 508: Driving People Out
As soon as Liu Xiao's words fell, Song Qing raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively:
"That's what happened in previous years?"
His expression suddenly became a little serious, and there was a little hesitation in his expression:
"It's not." He shook his head and denied:
"Regarding the selection and advancement of private guards, the process has always been strict, and it needs to be examined many times."
In addition to talent and strength, the review of everyone's life experience and character will be far more careful than when entering the reserve.
So after the newcomer enters the reserve team, there is generally a long observation period.
"But this time it's different." Liu Xiao glanced around, motioned for Song Qingxiao to follow in his footsteps, and the two walked to the outside of the school training ground, and after being a little farther away from the crowd, Liu Xiao lowered his voice and said:
"Ten days ago, the captains of the reserve teams in various places received a letter from the headquarters of the Shi family, to advance the examination that was originally expected to be held at the end of the year to next month."
The major reserves of the empire have their own process for cultivating talents, and this time the Shi family's letter is very likely to make the reserves face a rather embarrassing position.
Taking Liu Xiao's reserve team as an example, Liu Xiao, as a member of the team who has always attracted much attention, he and several outstanding players are on the list of this exam.
Once several people were selected, the reserve team managed by Cao Zeng faced a situation of lack of success.
By the time of next year's exams, it is very likely that you will not be able to pick the right person.
"The captain has been losing his temper for many days because of this." Liu Xiao smiled bitterly when he said this.
When he was talking to Song Qing, Cao Zeng was also chatting with Captain Ren, who was frowning, and naturally noticed the scene of the conversation between the two, as if he had long known that Liu Xiao was going to talk to Song Qing, and he didn't mean to come over to interrupt the two.
When his eyes turned to Liu Xiao, he turned away as if nothing happened.
The letter of the Shi family is like a kind of early squeeze for Cao Zeng, he was heartbroken when he handed over the list, and he was worried about the talent reserve in the coming year, so he naturally jumped like thunder when he thought about it.
"How many people are leaving?" Song Qingxiao keenly captured the information in Liu Xiao's words, and couldn't help asking: "Doesn't this kind of exam say that the requirements are extraordinarily strict?" ”
Song Qingxiao has not been in the reserve team for a long time, but he also knows that in the annual examination of the reserve team, half of the list reported by each reserve team may still be unqualified, and they will always be swept down and apply again next year.
In other words, the exam of the reserve team is not a 100% acceptance rate, and in the competition of a group of proud people, there is a half chance of failure.
But at this time, the meaning revealed in Liu Xiao's words was as if several people would definitely be selected into the private guard.
"You don't know." Liu Xiao sighed, "This year's situation is different from previous years, this year's exam, I'm guessing, may just be a formality." The so-called competition should only be divided into different groups of players. ”
Speaking of which, the conversation between the two finally got to the point, and Song Qing raised her eyebrows:
"Why?"
"Maybe ......" Liu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Maybe the family and the sea of stars will fight again!" ”
has come to this point, Liu Xiao naturally no longer conceals it:
"Some time ago, the Shi family broke into the news of the beast, you should have seen it, right?"
In fact, when Song Qingxiao heard a series of changes in the Shi family, he already suspected that it might be related to his own invasion of the imperial city that day.
At this time, Liu Xiao asked about this, and she nodded calmly:
"I've heard of it."
Liu Xiao did not associate her with the characters who broke into Shi's house that day, and continued:
"The news of the day said that a fierce beast broke into Shi's house, but in fact, two demon beasts entered the imperial city."
He said solemnly: "The truce agreement back then was a mutual non-aggression, but now the intrusion of the demon beast has naturally torn up this covenant. Half a month ago, the Shi family sent people to the Sea of Stars, but soon after, they immediately sent a letter ordering them to summon people, which was simply making preparations before the war. ”
"There is a big difference in strength between us and our predecessors back then." When he said this, he seemed to feel a little regretful: "Many people were splashed with blood in the sea of stars back then, and now when it is our turn, I don't know if we can come back after this trip." ”
He turned his head away, and his eyes fell on the silver wolf lying on the ground in the distance, since it was forcibly lifted and written by Song Qingxiao before, it hid far away as soon as it got out, and did not return to Song Qingxiao's side, as if he was afraid that she would torture it again.
Now he can't even touch Song Qingxiao's wolf, let alone fight against the demon beasts of the Sea of Stars.
"Not necessarily." Song Qingxiao noticed his gaze, and from the look on his face, he could guess what he was thinking.
Although she didn't really go deep into the sea of stars, and she didn't know how powerful the demon beast was after the bloodline awakened, the existence of the silver wolf was by no means comparable to that of ordinary demon beasts.
Evolving to the point of a silver wolf, the comprehensive strength is probably no less than that of an ordinary master in the late stage of the Condensing Realm, and the level difference between Liu Xiao and it is too much, and it is natural to be afraid.
"My wolf, the strength is not comparable to ordinary demon beasts." Song Qingxiao's words made Liu Xiao stunned for a moment, and he withdrew his gaze to look at her, but saw that she was also staring at the silver wolf who was sorting out her fur, and although her tone was cold when she said this, she was a little proud.
"Maybe the exam is coming, and I'm a little out of shape." Liu Xiao quickly adjusted his mentality and calmed down again: "No matter what, as a member of the empire, I am naturally duty-bound. ”
"I talked to you for a while today, and I feel better." He stretched, and indeed as he said, after a few words to Song Qing, he swept away his previous decadent state.
Cao Zeng, who had been paying attention to the situation here from a distance, naturally did not miss the scene of Liu Xiao's relaxed expression, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth and show a smile.
The big war is imminent, and the pressure of the Shi family is passed downward, causing everyone in the reserve team to be infected.
The painful lesson brought by the battle with the demon beast is only a few decades, and the elites who died back then are unknown, and in the case of unknown life and death, people like Liu Xiao who will participate in this reserve exam will naturally feel uneasy.
However, in the reserve team, his strength is already at the top, and the tense atmosphere before the battle makes him feel quite stressed, but he doesn't know how to solve it.
Although Cao Zeng's strength is slightly better than him, he is anxious at this time, and he really can't be appeased.
Only Song Qingxiao is far better than Liu Xiao, and he is like a teacher and a friend to him, Liu Xiao can't talk about the worries of others, and he may show a little in front of her.
After separating from Liu Xiao, Song Qingxiao beckoned the silver wolf to go back, and it was only at this time that he began to sort out the news he had received from Liu Xiao and Du Xingyun in the past few days.
Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that the exam of the reserve team was advanced, and it did have something to do with the trouble caused by his own invasion of Shi's house that day.
Maybe it was because of his own reasons, Liu Xiao's news was more accurate than Du Xingyun's, and from his words, the Shi family was afraid that they had misunderstood their identities with the silver wolf, and recognized themselves and the silver wolf as demon beasts that escaped from the sea of stars.
In other words, Shi Yue, who had seen himself, did not tell his true situation and inventory, which made Song Qingxiao feel a little relieved.
But what made her feel a little strange was the Shi family's move to tear up the alliance with the demon beasts of the Sea of Stars and start a war at this critical point.
Although his intrusion with the silver wolf that day brought some trouble to the Shi family, Shi Yue was not dead, and compared with the death of Sangu and others that night and the current life of Su Wu, it was not a big deal.
According to Su Wu, for the sake of the cold jade mine, the hidden family had declared war with the great demon of the sea of stars, but in the end, they all suffered a big loss, and the agreement failed to retire!
The war that hurt the vitality of the Shi family on the spot was caused by the competition for the rare and extraordinary small cold jade mine.
Now the Shi family knows that the demon beasts in the sea of stars are fierce, but they intend to provoke war again, if it is only because the demon beasts broke in and alarmed the royal family and offended the imperial authority, it would be too far-fetched.
So what is the real intention of the Shi family to risk their lives and forcibly summon people to start the war again?
She stroked the wound on her arm that had been burned by the silver wolf's paws, and suddenly remembered one thing in her heart - blood!
Song Qingxiao's steps as she was walking forward suddenly stopped, and when she borrowed Shi Yue's shelter, the spiritual power fluctuations caused by the ascension realm caused the prohibition in Shi Yue's body to be unstable, almost endangering his life.
This person's physique is extremely strange, the energy in his body is majestic, but he does not have a correspondingly strong body, and at the moment when the energy in his body rioted, she gave him a drop of her own blood to maintain his life.
It may be precisely because of this drop of blood that Shi Yue has won his life, but it has aroused the covetousness of the Shi family.
Song Qingxiao didn't know how much of her speculation was true, but this incident also made her vigilant.
With the unsealing of the blue blood in her body, her body has evolved again and again, and her blood is not only attractive to the silver wolf, but I am afraid that for many people, it is also one of the genius treasures, and she can no longer be shown at will.
Now the only people who know her secret, except for Su Wu and the silver wolf who live in her soul, are Shi Yue.
A dark glint flashed in her eyes, it seemed that she needed to find a time to visit the Imperial City again!
……
Although Liu Xiao mentioned to Song Qingxiao after the assessment was over, Captain Cao might pull Song Qingxiao into the reserve team after the assessment was over, but the subordinate orders assigned came much faster than Song Qingxiao thought.
Before she could return to her room, she was intercepted by Captain Ren's assistant, saying that the order had been issued, and Captain Ren said that she could report to the reserve team tonight.
"So fast?" Song Qingxiao frowned and asked.
She didn't get angry, but after seeing the strength she showed, He Ning, who came to pass the word, didn't dare to relax her attitude towards her.
The eyes of the giant wolf beside Song Qingxiao were gloomy, and he could see that He Ning's back was numb, and he felt that his calf was cramping.
"The captain said that he was afraid that you would pack your things slowly, so let me accompany you and send you over."
Song Qingxiao looked at him quietly, and soon He Ning's forehead oozed fine sweat, and he frequently pushed his glasses straight to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
On the side of the corner of the corridor, there was the sound of 'knock knock' footsteps, and at the same time, several young men and women were talking and laughing, as if someone was walking this way.
On the other side, Tan Wen and the others were also walking this way, and when they saw Song Qingxiao from a distance, Tan Wen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but speed up and ran over.
On the other hand, several young people led by Du Xingyun bypassed the wall and also saw Song Qingxiao who was talking to He Ning and Tan Wen in the distance.
The three parties collided, and the people at both ends were stunned.
Everyone could see that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere between Song Qingxiao and He Ning at this moment, and Tan Wen's originally cheerful steps also seemed a little hesitant.
It was Du Xingyun, who was stunned for a moment, but walked in the direction of the two of them and greeted: "Brother He Ning." ”
The arrival of these two groups of people made Song Qingxiao look away, and He Ning's pressure suddenly decreased, and he was almost grateful for Du Xingyun's greeting behavior.
In fact, he also felt that the captain was very strange today, so he asked him to find Song Qingxiao immediately, stared at her, packed up her things, and left immediately.
Such a move seems to be driving people away, which is really rude.
But He Ning couldn't figure out Captain Ren's intention to do this, he seemed to feel very uneasy about leaving Song Qingxiao in the team, giving He Ning a feeling that he couldn't wait to throw the pot out.
He even instructed He Ning to send someone to search the room where Song Qingxiao lived immediately after she left, as if he was a little suspicious of Song Qingxiao, which made He Ning puzzled.
But at this time, he naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, what the captain commanded, he could only do, so in the face of Song Qingxiao, he felt very empty-hearted.
"In such a hurry?" Song Qingxiao frowned.
"Yes." He Ning sweated like rain, nodded, and casually said a reason: "The reserve team is coming to the reserve team recently, and the captain means to vacate the premises and arrange for others." ”
After he said this, he felt the surprise in Tan Wen and Du Xingyun's eyes, obviously this reason couldn't even be hidden from these two young girls, let alone Song Qingxiao.
However, to his surprise, Song Qingxiao's eyes glanced in the direction of Du Xingyun, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything more.
After she got the answer, she didn't seem to be curious about He Ning's reason for lying.
"Why don't we go back and pack our bags first?" Her attitude made He Ning's heart relax, and she asked tentatively.
When he saw Song Qingxiao nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Qingxiao walked in the direction of Du Xingyun, He Ning just wanted to follow, but the silver wolf glanced up at him, and that look pinned him in place, as if warning him not to go in front of it.
It wasn't until the silver wolf caught up with Song Qingxiao's footsteps that the murderous aura in his eyes decreased slightly, and finally he didn't look over his head and stopped looking at He Ning.
He Ning wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and followed the silver wolf like an angry little daughter-in-law, not daring to step in front of it.
The people who followed Du Xingyun turned sideways to make way for a few people, and it wasn't until He Ning's figure at the end also turned around and disappeared that the other girls chirped as if they had unloaded the big stone in their hearts:
"What was Brother He Ning telling her just now? The atmosphere is terrifying. ”
"The reserve team wants to come to the newcomer to vacate the house, could it be that she moves out of her current house?"
"......" Everyone was very curious about the conversation between the two, and they discussed enthusiastically every word, ignoring Du Xingyun, who had not said a word from the beginning, and looked at the direction that Song Qingxiao had left before, with a shock in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Before Song Qingxiao left, Du Xingyun seemed to hear Song Qingxiao's voice in his mind, and said to her:
"Look after the house for me."
When she 'spoke', she didn't make a sound, but the voice seemed to be reflected directly in her mind, and everyone else around her was there, but it was as if she hadn't heard it.
This 'weird' method surprised Du Xingyun.
She hadn't yet touched the door of the true martial arts, and it was too advanced for her to transmit sound with her divine sense, but Song Qingxiao's method made her seem to get a glimpse or two in advance, making her eyes show complex colors such as envy, yearning, and worship.
Everyone was still chirping and speculating, and even Tan Wen and the others stood up under the lure of curiosity, but Du Xingyun stared at the direction Song Qingxiao left for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and ran wildly to the other side!
"Hey, Xingyun, where are you going?" The sound of Du Xingyun's hurried footsteps attracted the attention of one of the girls, and he couldn't help but shout.
She didn't look back, and replied, "I'll go to the deputy captain to ask questions, don't you follow!" ”
She has to ask Zhang Yi for help first, and occupy the room where Song Qingxiao has lived first, she has a hunch that if she helps Song Qingxiao this time, it may be an important opportunity for herself, and it is very likely to change her life!
