was sent back to the Three Thousand Academy by Huang Wuyi, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, did she really give up like this? This is really not her usual style. But these two failures made An Xiaoyu lose almost all confidence.

As his strength increased, the things he came into contact with became more and more difficult, and he suddenly lost his realm strength, which really made An Xiaoyu a little uncomfortable. This is not something that can be solved by inner firmness and consistent perseverance.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, everything is illusory, just like just facing the ghost of Xishan.

Sitting on the school bench, An Xiaoyu began to miss the days when she could read books on the rooftops of those buildings. Immediately afterwards, a small figure came to An Xiaoyu's side, sat down, and was very close to her, and the warmth from her body penetrated into An Xiaoyu's skin, making her feel warm for a while.

Turning his head to look at the ions, An Xiaoyu asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that something happened to you recently, and I'm not very happy, I've been looking for you."

An Xiaoyu's heart warmed and smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Xiuwei has been sealed for some reasons, and there are just a lot of things recently." ”

"What's going on?" Ion asked nonchalantly.

An Xiaoyu knew that Ion was really worried about her, and her things were not secrets, so it didn't hurt to talk about it. So from the Sea Clan to the Half-Blood Association, to the High Priest's cult and the abduction of the four fathers and daughters, except for the matter of the West Mountain Ghost, she talked a little.

"It's really unlucky that the strength is not enough, and it happens to happen to encounter so many things. But I don't know when I'll be able to get my cultivation back, and I want to find someone to help but I don't have manpower. Alas, it would be nice if I had been sealed a day later, and then the Sea Clan might have listened to me. ”

An Xiaoyu said this, but she was actually still thinking about it in her heart.

Since that day, the Sea Clan has not appeared, either because of what news he received and began to wait and see, or because he lost confidence in An Xiaoyu, but An Xiaoyu did not feel that the Sea Clan really gave up this opportunity to cooperate.

After all, they are unable to support themselves in the imperial capital, and there is no formal channel, even if they can survive in the imperial capital, it is still very difficult to protect the ions. At least, because they weren't Terrans, there were many places that they couldn't enter.

And An Xiaoyu is their best choice.

An independent person, related to all the forces in the imperial capital, with a huge backer behind him, and a benchmark figure for the opening of this new era, and a good relationship with ions is still in a school, where to find such a perfect collaborator?

Even if An Xiaoyu made excessive requests, An Xiaoyu still believed that if their strength was still there, they would definitely not give up this opportunity, and chose to obey An Xiaoyu's arrangement, become An Xiaoyu's help, and ensure the safety of ions.

It's miserable, An Xiaoyu is still too confident in her own strength, and who would have thought that such a strength realm would be sealed by someone? I've never heard of this kind of ability before! So An Xiaoyu generously gave the Sea Clan three days to think about it.

If the Sea Clan had been forced to make a contract at that time......

Thinking about An Xiaoyu, I feel melancholy, karma and coincidence, the world is unpredictable, it is in people and heaven to make things happen, and it is not my fault that I can't do the way of heaven.

An Xiaoyu comforted herself like this, but the expression on her face was still a little lonely, and she watched from the side, didn't say anything, and lowered her head silently.

After a long time, the sky began to darken, An Xiaoyu reached out and rubbed the ion's head, and said, "It's not early, I'll send you back!" ”

"Hmm." Ion got up from the bench, patted the snow chips falling in the wind on the branches of the trees on the side of the road, and followed Ann Xiaoyu towards his dormitory.

Every time the two of them were outside together, in the end, An Xiaoyu sent Ion back to the dormitory, afraid that Ion would be bullied by those racists on the road. Usually when they are together, it is An Xiaoyu who takes the initiative to say that she wants to give her this, give her that, take her to play somewhere, and tell her where it is dangerous.

I remembered in my heart that An Xiaoyu didn't need to be so good to her. After all, they were just two passers-by who met in Pingshui, An Xiaoyu met her and was bullied and rescued her, such people were not absent before, men and women, old and young, all remembered.

But no one will be like An Xiaoyu, with such warmth, not only saved her with kindness, but also told her how to better survive in this world, became friends with her, and cared about herself in every detail.

All along, Ion felt that he owed An Xiaoyu too much, because it was too much, so he didn't care about owing more. So she accepted An Xiaoyu's kindness, kept all these things in mind, and prepared to find an opportunity one day and return it to this friend.

Isn't it an opportunity now?

Ion watched An Xiaoyu leave, returned to the dormitory, and lay on the bed and thought.

Because of being a party to the matter, the empire did not hide anything about the Sea Clan. Although Ion looks a little weak, not like a college student, he is actually approaching adulthood. Even counting the days when Ion was hidden before registering for the account, it is estimated that Ion is one or two years older than An Xiaoyu.

So the empire told Ion everything, and at the beginning, Ion couldn't accept it.

She always thought that she was a child of a single-parent family, and her father was a water elf, and her mother and the people around her had always told her this, but now someone told her that she was not her mother's child, but a sea tribe that was adopted.

It's a bit ......

But these days, An Xiaoyu has always been with her, and from time to time she asked her to come out and sit on the bench together to look at the sky, go to eat delicious snacks together, and go to the movies together. She always felt that no matter what her identity was, if she could have such a life now, there would be nothing to complain about and entangle.

Ion is not good at words, but that doesn't mean she's a fool.

In fact, since I was a child, I have been quietly watching the world in the corner, looking at those people who have kindness and malice towards me, and I know better than anyone that my heart and current life are the things that can truly represent the meaning of life.

So she slowly looked down on herself, and turned herself into a student of the Three Thousand Academy completely, without telling her mother that she knew the truth, and still called back every week. When I wake up in the morning, I wash up with my roommates and go to school together.

Then, I was tired of talking to Ann.

So she felt that whether it was at the beginning or now, An Xiaoyu was the one who saved her. So that she doesn't need to hesitate between those uncertain thoughts and worry about other people's eyes all day long.

So now, there is an opportunity in front of her to help An Xiaoyu, do you need to hesitate?

Fortunately, Xiaoxing is already quite familiar with ions, knowing that this soft and cute girl has very few words, and it seems that she went out to meditate with that An Xiaoyu again, and when she came back, she didn't know what to think, she didn't change her clothes, and she just lay on the bed for half an hour.

Suddenly, Ion sat up abruptly and began to rummage through his modest clothes.

Finally, she found a shabby dress that she had not worn many years ago, but had just taken it as a souvenir. This was the first piece of clothing that her mother bought for her that year, which was not second-hand, although it had faded a little, and even some tattered, but it was still preserved by her.

When the child is young, the mother will always buy relatively large clothes for the child to wear, on the one hand, because the child grows faster, so that she can save money to buy clothes, and on the other hand, because she hopes that the child will grow tall, healthy and healthy.

Coincidentally, the ions haven't grown much over the years, so the dress is almost just right to wear now.

It was a not very beautiful dress, a pitch-black coat, with a pattern that you could tell at first glance that it was a stall, and the pattern had lost a lot of color, and even the black clothes were a little white, with a large hood that could cover half of the ion's face.

Tucked his clothes into his bag, changed into a pair of pants that were also a little shabby, and rushed out of the dormitory with a mask in Yukia's surprised eyes.

Bai Yu once told Ion that the affairs of the Sea Clan need to be kept secret in the Empire, and even if Ion wants to return to the East China Sea with them, or wants to have something to do with them, no one will be able to find out.

At the beginning, Ion didn't think that one day he would take the initiative to find them, so he never thought about how he should keep this matter a secret from being discovered by others.

So now she can only follow the routine in the movie, find a corner where no one is there and the camera, and after changing her clothes, she did not drive a bicycle, but came to a small alley near the Three Thousand Academy, opened her mask, and shouted loudly around.

"I'm coming! I know you've been following me! Come out! I've got something for you! ”

As soon as the words fell, a shadow in a black robe fell from the roof of the building at a high place, and instantly fell in front of Ion, leaving only the sound of the robe shaking in the wind, kneeling on one knee in front of Ion, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, your subordinates are here." ”

Although Ion expected them to be by his side all along, he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he was startled when he saw it suddenly appear, and he involuntarily took half a step back. But it suddenly occurred to me that now was not the time to care about this, so I retracted my feet back.

Looking at the sea clan kneeling on one knee in front of him, Ion frowned: "I'm not Your Highness. ”

"Then what does Your Highness want your subordinates to call them?" The sea clan boss listens to it.

Ions are running out of words all of a sudden, yes, what else can they call themselves? Miss? Miss? Princess? Or by their first name?

Her mind couldn't turn around, so she said, "Forget it, you can call it whatever you like." ”

"Your Highness!" The Sea Clan said respectfully, and then raised his head slightly: "I don't know if His Highness summoned his subordinates late at night, what is the urgent matter?" ”

"I ......" Ion made a request to others for the first time, calmed down for a while, and finally spoke: "I want you to help An Xiaoyu, just like you are willing to help me." ”

The sea clan was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the ion's face, his expression a little surprised.

Ion hurriedly explained: "It's not what she asked me to say, it's what I thought about myself." She's helped me so much before, and she hasn't let you leave the Imperial Capital before. And she's my friend, and now she's in trouble, and you want to be by my side, shouldn't you help her? ”

Watching Ion hurriedly explain, a hint of softness suddenly appeared on the face of the Sea Clan, which did not match their hideous faces, but such an expression did appear on the face of this Sea Clan.

He said: "Your Highness does not need to explain, and I will never have any objection to His Highness's wishes. It is an honor for His Highness to have his own ideas and make requests to me. ”

Ion looked at the sea clan in front of him, and the emotions in his heart were still a little complicated.

From the very beginning, she was inexplicably held hostage, and later saw these hideous-looking sea tribes under the protection of the military and An Xiaoyu, she has always felt that she is an outlier everywhere, and now she has finally found a living space in human society, and there is still some resistance to the sea tribe.

If it was before meeting An Xiaoyu, Ion might really leave the imperial capital with the Sea Clan, but now......

The tangle in the ionic mind lasted only a moment, and it was immediately replaced by confusion.

Although his brain rushed out as soon as he was hot, he found the Sea Clan, and then made a request to them, and he agreed, so that his goal had been achieved. But it was precisely because of the success that Ion forgot about it, and he didn't think about how to end it at all.

Standing cramped in the alley, Ion looked at the respectful Sea Clan in front of him, a little overwhelmed.

The Sea Clan immediately saw the embarrassment of the ions, so he said: "At this time, Shaozong once told us and others, but the two of us were just trading, but now that it is His Highness's order, the previous transaction no longer exists. ”

"As for the specific details, there is no need for His Highness to worry, we will consider it with the Young Sect, Your Highness can rest assured."

Ion nodded: "That's good, then I'm going back." ”

As he spoke, Ion carefully bypassed the Sea Clan, put on a mask and walked towards the alley, took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned to the Sea Clan who had already stood up and said, "That's right! Don't tell An Xiaoyu that I let you go. ”

The Sea Clan nodded: "You should obey." ”

Ion nodded, and was about to leave, but was stuffed by the sea clan with a note.

"This is the number of the subordinates, and if it is again, Your Highness, please give direct orders."

"Good!"

Watching Ion leave, there was a hint of relief on the face of the Sea Clan, but after all, he sighed.

Ions have grown and have made their own decisions, which is a good start. But in the face of An Xiaoyu's situation, this is not something they can control.

They and An Xiaoyu are very clear that the things involved in An Xiaoyu are all the most serious problems in the entire empire and the entire continent, although some are only trivial, but they are still quite troublesome to solve.

This is also the key to what they were hesitating before, of course An Xiaoyu knew why they hadn't given an answer for a long time, but it was just because the guarantee of strength was not enough.

Therefore, even if Ion told them not to say anything about their meeting, An Xiaoyu would definitely guess that someone was pushing the Sea Clan closer to him behind his back, and if he thought about it a little, he would know that it was Ion.

If she didn't know, it would be easy to do, so that they could at least fight for the right to cooperate on an equal footing, but now that Ion directly intervened, they had to follow the instructions of the high-ranking beings, which was equivalent to sending themselves to An Xiaoyu's hands and taking them at will.

It's hard.

In particular, they felt that although the matter was constantly surging in the dark and was not put into the light, the difficulty was no less than the previous Battle of the Hundred Provinces and the Great Purge. In the midst of constant turmoil, the imperial capital is brewing the power of innovation, which is the rolling wheel of the historical trend.

If they are not careful, they will be crushed under the wheels, and An Xiaoyu has that person behind him, so naturally there is no need to be afraid.

With this in mind, he left the alley and hid his figure in the endless darkness of the night, waiting for the blizzard to come.

After separating from the ion, An Xiaoyu was also thinking about this matter.

She didn't just talk about the Sea Clan with Ion, although she didn't expect that Ion would talk to the Sea Clan directly for herself, but this shows that in her intention, seeking the help of the Sea Clan is now the only way.

She thought again, if she hadn't been so greedy at the beginning, and just asked the Sea Clan to cooperate on an equal footing, wouldn't the situation be better now? If she really lowered her posture and didn't overpower people, even if they still haven't replied, then she can go to them again and ask them to come out and provide some help.

But now......

An Xiaoyu was struggling with whether to find the Sea Clan.

The hiding place of the Sea Clan is actually easy to find, because their current place is simply a safe house provided by the Military Commission, in order to give them a legal place to live, it is also convenient for surveillance and coercion. Of course, An Xiaoyu knows where the safe house is, but the question is, how should she be cheeky to find them?

After thinking about it, An Xiaoyu felt that she had fallen to this point, she was rescued by the gray rope a few days ago, and she was rescued by the Huang clan today, so what's the matter with one more sea clan?

Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu's thoughts suddenly became clear, and the whole person was in good spirits, rolling on the bed, and the frost wolf and the dust wolf continued to jump around on the bed in panic as she rolled, not knowing what kind of wind her current master was smoking.

The next day, An Xiaoyu found the safe house of the Sea Clan.

What she didn't expect was that when she arrived, the Sea Clan was already welcoming her, which made An Xiaoyu a little uncertain, what kind of thoughts did they have?

Although she didn't know what the Sea Clan was thinking, An Xiaoyu still entered the safe house, looked at the six or seven hideous-looking Sea Clans in the room, and said, "I'm here to ...... today."

The leading sea clan has a ...... deep Claw, said: "We all know the intention of Shaozong, we discussed it yesterday and are willing to help Shaozong get through the difficulties, but I also hope that Shaozong can fulfill the promise between us." ”

As soon as An Xiaoyu heard this, looking at the appearance of the Sea Clan, he immediately thought of ions, sighed in his heart, and his face remained silent. She nodded: "I am a man of my word, you don't have to worry. And...... Ions are my friends. ”

"That's good." The leading sea clan nodded, looked at An Xiaoyu and said:

"So let's discuss what to do next."
