The clouds are light and the sky is high, and the sky is full of stars, shining brightly.

A crystalline river, like a silver ribbon, clings to the jewel-like lake below that glows blue.

The small river that flowed down from the Great Ancient Snow Mountain, I don't know how many years it has flowed, crossed the mountains and mountains, swirled between the stubborn stones, and made a crystal splash, reflecting all things in heaven and earth, selflessly nourishing all the lives on the land that carried it.

I don't know how many times the small river has been diverted in a circle before I find this unique curved river channel in the middle of the ten thousand peaks.

The river flows down into this small but beautiful blue lake, filling the water with vapour, creating a lush oasis.

In the depths of the ordinary desert, even life has been completely extinct, and it is often uninhabited.

The encounter of several caravans of sand camels is extremely rare.

Yun Xiaotian and his entourage walked along the trickling river that originated from the Dagu Snow Mountain, all the way to the depths of the desert.

Along the way, Yun Xiaotian and the others would encounter and see camel caravans similar to them from a distance from time to time.

One thing they all have in common is that the caravans carry young children who are often impossible to see in the depths of the desert.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Yun Xiaotian was almost certain that this must have something to do with the test of the Star Mansion Courtyard that he was going to face.

Perhaps, the test of the Xingfu Academy has already begun silently.

Yun Xiaotian subconsciously and deliberately listened to the conversation between the other people in his companionship, and he slowly understood that they were also the so-called dependent children, and they were about to be sent to the distant Huangdu City, and then there would be principals in Huangdu City, who should gather all the dependent children, and then send them to the so-called holy mountain.

There won't be a lot of time left for them in the Star Mansion Courtyard.

After all, it was a test, so there was always a deadline, and he had already wasted many days in Tulin Village.

He needs to find out the purpose of the Xingfu Courtyard test as soon as possible, otherwise he will definitely not be able to avoid being eliminated in the end if he keeps being blind like he is now.

Yun Xiaotian and the others followed the camel caravan and camped not far from the lake, where a tall tree could just shelter them from the wind and rain.

He sat alone by the lake, the water of the lake was silent, and the slightly rippling surface of the lake reflected the bright stars that spread across the sky.

From time to time, fish leap out of the water and dance among the stars that glow with a faint blue light.

Seeing this situation, Yun Xiaotian couldn't help but admire in his heart, the Xingfu Courtyard really has such terrifying strength!

Yun Xiaotian and Ai Bingtai followed the group of Tulin Village to Huangdu City, at least they didn't have to worry about going hungry.

The two of them baked the white flour cake over a bonfire that had just risen by the lake, and baked it until its skin was slightly golden and crispy, although it was simple, but after a long day of hard work, what could be more delicious?

No matter how delicious the delicacies of the mountains and seas are, they can't compare to the satisfaction brought by the most primitive and simple hunger of human beings.

Ai Bingtai sat down beside him after a while, looking down at her own reflection in the lake, still the ugly appearance that even she looked faintly scared, although the center of her mouth had slowly accepted this fact, but this made her still a little faintly lost.

Girls are born to love beauty, and they can't say anything.

Since leaving Tulin Village, she hasn't left Yun Xiaotian's side much, and has been subconsciously following him closely.

Even if Yun Xiaotian sometimes deliberately dodge, she couldn't help but approach naturally.

Maybe it's because Yun Xiaotian is the only thing she is familiar with here!

Everything around him is so strange and indifferent, Ai Bingtai has never experienced a lonely life since he was a child.

Although she still hates him, this does not prevent her from using Yun Xiaotian as a shield against the invasion of this strange world, and her only purpose is to shield her from the wind and rain along the way.

Anyway, she doesn't lose.

Ai Bingtai floated in the shadow of the water, but he could always see his ugly face no matter what.

Sometimes, she thinks that if she wasn't like this, Yun Xiaotian wouldn't have such a bad attitude towards herself, right?

Sure enough, men all over the world often judge people by their appearance.

Now that you've grown so ugly, who would have the heart to care about your inner being.

There will be no one who cares about what kind of person you are, and wastes time to spend more time on you.

Because, this is more than worth the loss, right?

People don't like you, they don't care about you, they don't need anything out of you.

You are worthless to him.

If you have time, why don't you do it, and why should people spend time on you?

The more Ai Bingtai thought about it, the more lost she became, since she came to Xingdu, she had thought about many more things than before.

In the past, she was so perfectly cared for, it seemed that there would always be rainbows hanging in her sky.

It doesn't seem to exist in this world, and there is nothing she can't get.

She is the most beautiful, the luckiest, and the happiest in the world.

The whole world is her playground, let her play and play.

With all she has, except for her parents who died early, it seems that she has never experienced anything else!

In Tulin Village, she was swept away, and until then she seemed to have even imagined that such a thing would happen to her.

It turned out that this world was not as beautiful as she had always thought.

There is good and there is evil.

Since there is light, there is also darkness.

There are people who can hate you, ignore you, and ridicule you.

And you, sometimes it seems, can only accept it gladly.

Reality is reality, and when it appears directly in front of you, it has already made you powerless to refuse.

I can't help it, whether you like it or not.

Helpless, life!

Ai Bingtai looked up and glanced secretly, and Yun Xiaotian, who was looking down and concentrating on eating, beside him.

He is often so impatient and indifferent to her.

Always refusing to look at yourself because you are too ugly?

Ai Bingtai lowered her head, letting her long black hair cover her face, and at this time, the corners of her eyes were slightly wet.

The white flour cake was fragrant and attractive, against her lips, but she couldn't put it in her mouth at this time.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the scenes of fighting with Yun Xiaotian every day these days.

Maybe in the future, she will never be able to have such a simple and pure joy again!

Life is unfair to everyone, and this is perhaps the point where it is fair to everyone.

And Yun Xiaotian, who was sitting next to her, was frightened into a cold sweat by her look.

This strange look is terrifying, what the hell does that ugly girl want to do.

The bread in his hand was therefore eaten a little faster.

He thought that he had finished eating early, so that he might as well take the opportunity to slip away, and pretend to go for a stroll along the lake.

Yun Xiaotian buried himself in hard work, and finally finished eating the big cake in his hand, whistled casually, and walked along the lake seemingly casually.

After Yun Xiaotian walked away, the ugly girl in his eyes did not follow.

He was secretly glad that he could finally be alone for a while.

At this time, where would he have thought that the ugly girl he hated around him was the moving girl Ai Bingtai, whom he often saw in his dreams.

When God puts the best opportunity in front of your eyes, you turn a blind eye like that.

You must know, even if you go to beg bitterly in the future, the relationship has passed, what is the use at this time?

Opportunity slipped away, just slipped away.

It won't, shouting loudly, saying hello to you.

Yun Xiaotian walked by the dark lake, and his comfortable mood did not last long.

Around the lake, there was a commotion in the campfire camps in more than a dozen places, and the shouts of killing with swords and iron gradually filled the already chaotic surroundings.

Yun Xiaotian didn't know the situation around him at this time, but of course he could subconsciously feel that something was wrong.

He subconsciously wanted to hide in the big tree by the lake in the night and observe the surrounding situation at this time.

But at this moment, even when he was completely unconscious, a cold white-bladed broadsword silently pressed against his neck without reacting.

A slight pinprick-like sting told him that the knife wielder was absolutely ruthless.

As long as he moves slightly, it will inevitably end up being the separation of the corpse, and this knife will definitely not be the kind that will drag mud and water.

In an instant, Yun Xiaotian, who had reacted, raised his hands and signaled that he had yielded.

He knew that if the other party wanted his life, he wouldn't be in such trouble.

With a knife, it can naturally be solved cleanly.

"Uncle, what do you want me to do, say?"

As he spoke, Yun Xiaotian turned behind him, trying to figure out who was holding the knife on his neck.

Yun Xiaotian was surprised, because this face was very familiar to him, it was the Huang village chief of Tulin Village.

At this time, he looked at Yun Xiaotian with a smile and said, "I want your ugly daughter-in-law, will you give it?" ”

Yun Xiaotian was still immersed in his shock, completely unable to believe it, and couldn't understand why the village chief of Tulin Village did this.

Holding the knife on Yun Xiaotian's neck, Village Chief Huang didn't care that Yun Xiaotian didn't answer him, but Yun Xiaotian's surprised and unbelievable expression made him very proud.

"Hey, hey! Let's go! Your ugly daughter-in-law is still waiting for you! ”

The head of Tulin Village, where is the usual kind eyebrow and kind eyes at this time, but it is unspeakably fierce.

The strength of his blade was not light at all, but it was just right, as long as it was a little heavier, there would not be just a white mark on his neck.

Yun Xiaotian had no doubt that he would never talk to Yun Xiaotian about anything, and he would not allow him to resist a little.

Yun Xiaotian was in a desperate situation, and he couldn't find any chance to resist, so he could only take one step and look at one step, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to move.

Under the darkness of the night, Yun Xiaotian obediently walked forward with the escort.
