Tang Yao has known Lao Jun for so long, this is the first time he knows Lao Jun's full name, and knowing Lao Jun's surname will also know what clan he comes from.

"Is that Sima? Is that the Sima clan that straddles the two major schools of the Yin-Yang family and the Bing family? Tang Yao asked.

The old army nodded and said, "Yes, I came out of the Sima clan." ”

Tang Yao came and hurriedly asked, "That's a well-known wealthy family in the circle, but why did you want to come out of that clan?" ”

"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you kid, the two of us also take this opportunity to talk about the future, the New Year is coming soon, after the New Year, it will be the first illusion assessment of this year, you must participate, and I have set a new goal for you this time, you have to step on the level of at least the second stage of illusion master, if you do not reach the cooperation between me and you, immediately stop." The old soldier said.

Tang Yao was a little surprised, because the level of the second-stage illusionist was really too high for Tang Yao, who had not yet reached the age of nineteen, even if Tang Yao had not done a specific investigation, he also knew that there were very few illusionists in the circle who could reach the strength of the second stage at the age of twenty.

"Brother Jun, isn't this goal too high?" Tang Yao asked.

"I just set a goal, if you can't reach our fate, it will be over, in addition, if you can reach the level of the second stage illusion master this time, then you will have a chance to achieve good results in the future ancient country illusion master fighting competition, and even have a faint possibility of participating in the ten thousand kingdoms competition, if you can't even reach the second stage, then basically the fighting law conference will be useless."

"Is the difficulty so high, I thought I was making progress very fast, and I should already be considered a little famous in the circle, even if I still can't get a good ranking in the Ancient Country Fighting Law Conference, isn't this a young man's Fighting Law Conference, is the difficulty still so high?" Tang Yao asked again and again, he was very interested in this Ancient Country Illusionist Fighting Law Conference.

"The earliest fighting law conference is a full rank and all ages can participate, the result is that the strength of young people is not as good as their predecessors, so they will be defeated as soon as they fight, and there are only a few strong people in each era, and there are only a few old-timers who have held a few sessions to the end, and others have no interest in participating, just take this era as an example, Shangguan Fumeng's grandfather can be called the strongest in the world, if he participates in the ancient country fighting law conference, then there are other people who have anything to do, and when the time comes, he will still be the first to participate in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Congress, Then there was no need to fight at all, so after that, the Doufa Conference changed the rules, prohibiting older seniors from participating, and reduced the pattern of the Doufa Conference to a competition between young people, so that it seemed that the level of the Doufa Conference had become lower, but in fact, the Doufa Conference had regained its vitality and attracted many young and strong people to participate in the competition, which has only continued to this day. ”

Tang Yao nodded and said, "I have learned about these things, then listen to what you mean, the Dharma Fighting Conference will lead to many young masters in the clan, and they are young powerhouses who are stronger than me in my age, right?" ”

"That's pretty much what it means, many clans will cultivate their own elite children, these elite children rarely show their heads, they have received the most rigorous training from the moment they were born, and they live a life that many people think is like hell, as far as I know, there are very few of them whose strength far exceeds you, and even reached a strength that many people of my age can't reach, coupled with the powerful Gu Spirit of the customized powerful organ and the clan enslavement, the strength is of course very terrifying, let's put it this way, If the Yiqi clan sent Sanyu to participate in the Ancient Kingdom Illusionist Fighting Method, if you met Sanyu, what chance do you think you have to win? ”

Tang Yao was silent, because he knew that he couldn't win at all, he couldn't do it before, and now he wasn't sure.

"So, you kid still has a long way to go, take your time." After the old army finished speaking, he began to walk along the bridge, and Tang Yao followed.

The two of them walked towards the side of the bridge step by step in the cold wind, and Tang Yao asked behind him: "Brother Jun, one day will you deal with me for some things, such as you meet a more talented junior, or someone promises you great benefits." ”

Brother Jun walked in front, smoking a cigarette while looking up at the bright night scene in front of him, and said without any hesitation: "Of course you will, I also hope that you will do this, if someone promises to let you ascend to the throne of the Lord of the Rivers and Lakes, the King of Illusionists, and the price is to kill me, then please do it without hesitation." ”

"Damn, if there really is such a day, will the two of us have a master-apprentice battle, this is too sad." Tang Yao said.

The old soldier did not speak, and continued to walk forward.

Not long after leaving, Tang Yao spoke: "Brother Jun, how long do you think the two of us will have to walk back like this, you insisted on getting out of the car just now, otherwise you can make an appointment to come and pick us up again." ”

"Hey, it was your kid who got out of the car to educate you, and you can't pay for the car?" Brother Jun shouted.

"But I don't have any money."

"Fart, you kid just took the money of the Gong clan a few days ago, and now you say that you don't have any money, what nonsense, hurry up and call a taxi, otherwise we can find a hotel nearby to sleep in."

After the two people made a noise, Tang Yao had to take out his mobile phone to make an appointment for a car, and when the two of them returned to the gate of the botanical garden, it was already close to two o'clock in the morning.

The old soldier lit a cigarette in his room, sat on the windowsill and looked out, his eyes deep as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment he said to himself: "If there is a day when you and I face each other, don't blame me." ”

Time passed day by day, and the first semester of Tang Yao's freshman year passed in almost a race against time, fortunately, Tang Yao's head was still quite smart, even if he slept every day in class and went to work in the Hall of Bones after class, he studied in the last two weeks before the exam, and finally mixed up the passing results of each subject.

The New Year's atmosphere began to spread throughout the city, and a festive atmosphere was full of lights, and a group of people in the botanical garden, although not related by blood, still sat together for such an important traditional festival and prepared for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

On this day, Tang Yao deliberately spent an extra two hundred yuan to reserve a lot of ingredients in advance, and waited until the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to make dumplings and cook vegetables, and he was very busy.

There are also many people who come to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, in addition to those originally from the botanical garden, Gong Yuling and Song Shun are also considered guests to be invited to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, and Gong Hua also came to eat in the name of having to protect Gong Yuling even if it is the New Year, so the first Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the botanical garden is extremely lively.

The round table was full of people, but a group of people sat together and weren't particularly familiar with each other, so it was a little awkward at first.

At this time, Gong Yuling picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Seniors, friends, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles, it is not easy for a few of us to sit here and eat a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I will do it first as a respect, I wish everyone good health and all the best." ”

This chick always makes a special gentleman at critical moments, and Gong Hua next to her throat hurriedly said: "Young lady, don't drink like this, you're going to get drunk again." ”

However, although Gong Yuling's real amount of wine is really average, after she said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table was aroused, and everyone began to chat enthusiastically, until the dumplings came out of the pot, the atmosphere of the whole New Year was already quite lively, and even Fang Chao also called a video call, and Tang Yao also gave Fang Chao's parents a New Year's greeting in the video.

He stood at the door of the kitchen in an apron, looked at the people at the table outside, smiled unconsciously, and then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Sanyu and wrote: Happy New Year, wait for me to pick you up.

Although he knew that there would be no answer to this message, he did it anyway.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Gong Yuling, who was already a little superior, walked to the door and shouted: "Everyone, I have asked people to prepare fireworks, we can still set off fireworks here on the outskirts of the city, it is lively and lively, Gonghua ...... Let's go, let's set off fireworks. ”

In the open space of the botanical garden, Gong Hua took out a few boxes of fireworks that had been prepared, and Gong Yuling said with a smile: "May we be so happy every year, I'll light the fire!" ”

Everyone looked up and watched the brilliant fireworks explode in the sky, and Tang Yao, who was standing behind at this time, felt the vibration of his mobile phone, he thought it was a message sent by Sanyu, and excitedly took out his mobile phone to take a look, but saw a short message that read: Son, come and save me......
