Chapter 49: Mu Li and the White Cat
Gritted his teeth, stood up with pain, looked at Murong Yu and said, "You won!" What's your name, please? ”
"Murong Chen!" Murong Yu directly said the name used in the Saint Laurent Academy.
The people here are all from all over the Three Kingdoms, and Murong Yu said that her surname is Murong, so she doesn't have to worry about them recognizing her as a member of the Suzaku family.
The woman turned her head to the person who recorded the list: "Inner disciple, write it down!" ”
The man replied, wrote a few strokes on the paper, and the woman said, "You go back and prepare first, and we will get up and go back to the Cloud Hall tomorrow!" ”
Murong Yu nodded, she already had the qualifications to enter, and she was not ready to look here any longer, so she jumped out of the ring and went back to her residence despite everyone's surprised eyes.
The challenge didn't end until late afternoon, and there were a hundred people on the list.
The next day, Murong Yu came to the place of yesterday's challenge, the carved stone square, where there was already a long queue of carriages, and twenty or thirty carriages were neatly arranged.
Murong Yu was assigned to one of the carriages, and as soon as Chen Shi passed the carriage and set off, there were two other people in the carriage with Murong Yu, the carriage was very spacious, and the three of them sat in it, not saying a word, but it seemed a little deserted.
Fortunately, the journey back to the Cloud Hall was not too far, but a day's journey had already reached a valley.
Murong Yu looked at the crisp green in front of him, and a faint white mist shrouded the air, adding a bit of hazy beauty to this valley.
I kept walking inside, and soon I entered the gate of the Cloud Palace, and the team of more than a hundred people was about to go their separate ways.
"You take them to the elders." The leading woman commanded the other woman.
"Yes", the woman replied very respectfully, and continued to walk inside with Murong Yu's team.
And the woman who led the way took the outer disciples to the outer gate area.
"Dare to ask the girl, why aren't those people with us?" A man asked curiously.
The woman glanced at him lightly and said, "They are outer sect disciples, and they can only move around in the outer gate area, so they are not qualified to walk around in the center of the Outer Cloud Palace!" Even if you are a quasi-inner disciple, whether you go or stay or not, the elders will look down on you for a while, if you can't look down on you, you can only be an outer disciple. ”
The man nodded and stopped talking.
Passing by the majestic buildings, the towering halls, and the towers, the talents in the team really saw the magnificent and spectacular scene of the Yunyun Palace.
The magnificent architecture of the Cloud Hall gave them a stunning visual impact, but it didn't give them much time to digest.
They looked at the buildings as far as their eyes could see, and after a while they came to a test plaza, where the woman led them to a row of people, mostly middle-aged and old-fashioned, sat above the square.
The woman stepped forward and knelt on one knee, saluted the middle-aged man sitting on the high seat, and respectfully said, "Hall Master, these people are the disciples selected in this recruitment!" ”
A middle-aged man sitting on a high seat spoke, "Tell them about the rules of the Cloud Palace!" "A deep voice with a majesty that cannot be ignored.
"Yes", the woman clenched her fists and agreed, and then turned to explain the rules and regulations of the Cloud Hall to Murong Yu and his party.
This talk was half an hour, Murong Yu didn't listen carefully, anyway, in her opinion, if this Xuanyun Hall had anything to do with those warlocks, she would definitely raze this place to the ground, if not, she would also leave, and she would not stay here for a long time.
So she really has no interest in listening to the rules of the Cloud Palace.
In comparison, she was much more interested in the people sitting on the high platform.
Most of the people sitting on the stage were middle-aged men, and there were also a few old men, these Murong Yu didn't care, her eyes were on the person sitting next to the hall master of the Yunyun Palace.
It was a woman, about the same age as her, and the young age was particularly deceptive among these adults, the girl's face was cold, her color was beautiful, and her plain white clothes set off her temperament.
Murong Yu looked her up and down, and the girl's gaze kept falling on the long table in front of her, and her cold gaze did not move in the slightest, but at this moment, her wide sleeves suddenly moved, and a palm-sized white cat poked its head out from under her palm, rubbed the girl's palm with its furry head, and then turned her head to look at the girl, and opened her mouth to speak.
"Master, look, the youngest of these people looks so familiar, have we met somewhere?"
The girl's eyes moved away from the table to look at the person the white cat said, she looked at it for a while and nodded, "It's indeed a little familiar!" ”
The white cat prostrate on the girl's knees, a pair of smart vertical pupils staring straight at Murong Yu, not hiding the scrutiny in her eyes at all.
Murong Yu was also looking at them, and the angle she was standing at just enough to see the white cat prostrate on the girl's lap, seeing this, she squinted her eyes and raised her eyes to look directly at the owner of the white cat.
Looking at each other, Murong Yu was slightly surprised in his heart, only feeling that the girl's gaze was so familiar, and then he turned his gaze to the white cat on the girl's knees.
The white cat met Murong Yu's eyes, and jumped up directly, and hid in the girl's sleeve in an instant.
The white cat patted his chest very humanely, with a look of fear, "Ouch, hey, how can that person's eyes be the same as Mingyue, scared the cat to death!" ”
"Bright Moon!" The girl looked down at the white cat's funny movements, and then looked up at Murong Yu as if she had thought of something, and gradually, the person in front of her and a figure in her memory gradually overlapped.
The white cat seemed to have thought of this, and went out to look at Murong Yu, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the young man in front of him had a very similar look in his eyes to the bright moon in his memory.
couldn't help but turn around and whisper to the girl: "Master, you said that we can cross over, so can Mingyue too?" ”
The white cat paused for a moment, and seemed to think of something and sneered, "The master can cross into a little girl, so Mingyue shouldn't cross into a man!" Although it fits her character very well! ”
The girl glanced at the white cat lightly, but did not answer.
The hall master of the Cloud Hall turned his head to the old men around him and said, "Elders, you should each choose your own disciples!" ”
The elder sitting on the right side of the hall master said, "Then let the old man come first!" ”
As the elder spoke, his sharp eyes swept over Murong Yu and the others, his gaze fell on the youngest Murong Yu with a little interest, and then he glanced at the disciple behind him, the disciple nodded understandingly, walked off the high platform, and walked towards Murong Yu's group.
When he arrived in front of them, he attacked Murong Yu without saying a word, and Murong Yu was already prepared, and the moment he attacked, she also immediately reacted and defended.
The white cat watched the battle between Murong Yu and that disciple, and said to the girl without looking back: "Master, look, is his defensive move very similar to Mingyue?" ”
The girl nodded silently.
After a few rounds, Murong Yu began to attack, but the man was defeated in two moves.
The elder nodded with satisfaction, "It's ............ him."
Before the elder could finish speaking, the girl sitting on the right side of the hall master suddenly spoke: "Father, there is a lack of a guard by my side, I think he is good, it is better to let him stay by my side and protect him!" ”
The elder frowned when he heard this, and said directly: "Second Miss, I have already selected this kid, do you want to find a guard or choose another one!" ”
The girl's cold eyes glanced at Elder Lin, and instead of being humble, she turned her head to the hall master and said, "I want him!" ”
In this regard, Mu Han, the hall master of the Cloud Palace, has a headache, his second daughter is already cold, since she had a serious illness a few months ago, she is even more unapproachable, and her body exudes a murderous aura, and she also has an ancient spirit bird as a contract spirit beast.
For this reason, because of the existence of that spirit beast, he had to ask her opinion when making any decisions, and at this time, he could only obey her until he had any other good ideas!
After making a decision, his face showed a look of embarrassment, "Elder Lin, you better choose a new disciple!" ”
"Hall Master, that kid's talent and strength are good, if he cultivates it well, he will be much more useful than an attendant!" Elder Lin strongly objected, such a person with a talent for martial arts training, he must be included in his command and cultivated.
Mu Han waved his hand and directly dismissed his meaning.
He looked down at the booklet in front of him, then looked up at Murong Yu, "Your name is Murong Chen?" ”
"Yes!"
Mu Han nodded, "From today onwards, you will follow the second young lady to protect you, are you willing?" ”
Murong Yu glanced at the girl, and was also very interested in her and the white cat, "Willing to serve!" ”
Seeing that Murong Yu agreed, Elder Lin could only give up even if he was unwilling!
Mu Han nodded and said to the girl beside him: "Xiaoli, after all, he is a newcomer who just arrived today, and there are many things that he doesn't understand, I'll let someone tell him the rules later, and then send someone over to you!" Do you think that's good? ”
The corners of the girl's lips hooked inaudibly, as if she was laughing, and as if mocking those careful thoughts in Mu Han's heart, "Thank you, father!" ”
Mu Han nodded with satisfaction, and all the elders also selected disciples one after another, and after dozens of minutes, all the elders were selected, and the selected disciples also followed the elders back to the elders' house, and Murong Yu followed Mu Han's henchmen to the main hall.
In the main hall, Mu Han sat in a high position, holding the information in his hand and looking at it carefully.
When Murong Yu approached, he raised his head, looked at Murong Yu's thin body, Mu Han made a straight face, and said to Murong Yu: "My daughter has a cold temperament, you have to protect her well when you follow her, if she makes any mistakes, I can't spare you!" ”
Murong Yu looked at Mu Han who was in the posture of the hall master, and there was no wave in his heart, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hall master, please rest assured, I will do my best to protect the safety of the young lady!" ”
Mu Han nodded, "Although you are Xiaoli's guard, don't forget who you really belong to!" ”
Murong Yu raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the father and daughter were not in harmony, although they understood in their hearts, Murong Yu still pretended to be confused and asked, "......What does the hall master mean?" ”
"In the future, you will definitely follow Mu Li at any time, you tell me her every day, you can do it? If you do as I say, I will not treat you badly if you leave her in the future." ”
Murong Yu retracted his gaze, and suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart, a father, according to him, found someone to spy on his daughter! It's ridiculous.
However, the girl's name was Mu Li!!
Although he despised Mu Han's behavior very much, he still responded: "Obey the teachings of the bishop of the palace!" ”
Mu Han smiled with satisfaction, "The son can be taught!" ”
He raised his head and said to the henchman next to him: "You take him there!" ”
The henchman nodded, and then led Murong Yu to Mu Li's residence.
Murong Yu looked around at this courtyard, the scale of the courtyard was not small, and there were many flowers and plants in it, but Murong Yu saw that these flowers and plants were actually some medicinal materials, half of which were used to practice poisons, and there was a herb called Ling Yilan that could stimulate some poisonous medicinal materials and enhance their medicinal properties.
Just as Murong Yu was looking, she faintly heard a cat meow, and within a few seconds, the door of the room was opened from the inside.
Mu Li walked out of the room with a white cat in his arms, and looked at Murong Yu with ruthless eyes, Murong Yu also raised his head to look at him, his eyes were facing each other, and the sword light and sword shadow unfolded in the eyes of the two.
In the end, it was Mu Li who retracted her gaze first, she slowly walked to the stone table and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of water, the white cat in her arms jumped on the stone table, licked the water in the cup, and Mu Li also picked up another cup.
"Mu Han asked you to spy on me?" Mu Li took a sip of water and asked coldly.
Murong Yu raised his eyebrows, "That's right! ”
"Aim!" The white cat glanced at Murong Yu, and then leisurely returned to Mu Li's arms.
"You white cat is special!" Murong Yu looked at the white cat, the cat in front of him was too much like Mu Li and the white cat in his previous life.
But she didn't dare to ask easily, if she didn't, she would expose herself, so whether they were or not, she had to be careful.
