And His Majesty said that although the evaluation of the son of Situ Nan's Academy would be delayed, he would also personally give Situ Nan some compensation, and those compensation would not be lower than the benefits brought to Situ Nan by those places of trial. So for Situ Nan, although he was not selected as the son of the academy, he would not suffer too much loss. ”

Listening to the words added by the dead world, although Tong Lesheng and Yan Lao's faces softened a little because of this, they knew that in fact, this was just a little compensation for them, as for why they gave Situ Nan, it was to take care of their face and temper, otherwise, if they gave some compensation to these deans, they really wouldn't accept it!

But at this time, when the one compensated Situ Nan, the contradiction between the two sides did not further intensify, and the other party's behavior can be regarded as compensating them, and it can be regarded as expressing his apologies.

Coupled with the identity of the other party, even if Yan Lao and Tong Lesheng wanted to pursue something more, they were a little lacking in motivation.

glanced at each other, and both of them saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Then Tong Lesheng spoke, "Okay, what else can we say? Can we really find the door? I'm not the Emperor!"

As he spoke, Tong Lesheng stood up and walked out of the room.

As for Yan Lao, he didn't say a word, and also walked towards the door with Tong Lesheng, not paying attention to the end of the world.

Looking at the two people walking out, Yu Tianya knew that the other party was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything more, just stood in place, quietly watching the backs of the two leaving.

After walking out of the room, Tong Lesheng smiled at Yan Xia, and then there was a flicker and disappeared in place.

As for Yan Lao, he walked straight to where Yan Xia and Li Hao were, and then with a wave, he left here with the two of them.

After returning to the Shadow Academy, Yan Xia looked at Yan Lao, who had no expression, and with her understanding of Yan Lao, she knew that although the other party did not show anything at this time, she was actually angry, so after Li Hao said goodbye, she asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Who dares to make Grandpa unhappy, I'll help you beat him." ”

Yan Lao listened to Yan Xia's words, as well as the atmosphere on the other party's face, as if he really wanted to stand up for him, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and the anger that rose in his heart was also suppressed for the time being, and he said with a smile, "Ouch, my Xia'er is terrible, and I have to mention grandpa." ”

Looking at the change in Yan Lao's expression, Yan Xia knew that her goal had been achieved, so she hurriedly grabbed the other party's arm and shook it slightly, "Grandpa, I don't want to make you happy because I don't see you unhappy." ”

"Okay, my Xia'er is sensible! not like before, it will only cause trouble for me. It's still good to say before, the granddaughter is like a little padded jacket, dressed as a warm person. ”

"Hee-hee, that's not it, it's like my dad, I don't know where I went all day long. ”

"But no, your father, this kid, runs around all day long, and I regret giving birth to him in the first place! ”

Listening to Yan Lao's words, Yan Xia said a little unhappily, "Grandpa, if you don't give birth to my father, where did you get my little padded jacket?"

"Haha, that makes sense! The biggest advantage of giving birth to that kid is to have a little padded jacket like you!"

After talking with Yan Lao for a while, and seeing that Yan Lao's mood was much better, Yan Xia changed the topic and said, "Grandpa, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

"Oh?" Looking at Yan Xia, who suddenly became serious, Yan Lao couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a smile, "Xia'er, if you have something to say, tell grandpa! Is someone bullying you? Tell grandpa, I'll go and give you a head." ”

"No, grandpa, I want to follow that Situ man. ”

"What?!" Listening to Yan Xia's words, Yan Lao's face couldn't help but be a little stunned.

......

Early the next morning, as soon as Situ Nan walked out of the cave, he was attracted by a pretty figure in front of the door, not because of how beautiful the other party was, but because of the person opposite him, he had seen it before.

Looking at Situ Nan who walked out of the cave, this person greeted him and said, "Situ Nan, do you remember me?"

When Situ Nan heard this, he said with a smile, "Of course, wasn't the entrance examination of the Shadow Academy before that I was interviewed by you?"

"Hmph, yes, that's me! My name is Yan Xia, and I will follow you for the next period of time, whether it is cultivation or going out to practice, or participating in some mission. ”

"Huh?" Situ Nan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, "What do you mean by this? You follow me? Isn't this nonsense." ”

Looking at Situ Nan, who was frowning and looking at her, Yan Xia couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "What does he mean? I'm such a beautiful girl to follow him, and he still dislikes me? If you were someone else, you still wish you could see me every day!"

Annoyed in her heart, Yan Xia's movements on her hand became much more irritable, and then she took out a piece of paper from the storage ring, and then threw it to Situ Nan.

"See for yourself!"

Situ Nan took the paper thrown by Yan Xia, and when he opened it, he found that it was actually a mandatory task assigned to him by the academy!

The task book reads: In the next month, student Situ Nan must agree to Yan Xia's follow-up cultivation or participate in the trial mission, if it involves the student's personal secret, Situ Nan can communicate with Yan Xia and obtain the consent of the other party before he can enter the private space and deal with it independently.

Duration of the mission, one month.

Reward for completing the mission, 100 points!

Mission failure penalty, 100 points!

The task completion requirements were confirmed by Yan Xia that within this month's time, Situ Nan met the task requirements before he could pass.

Looking at this task book, Situ Nan's first reaction was only two words, that is, ridiculous!

First of all, it's a mandatory task! And it's such a strange task.

You must know that in the Qinglong Academy, or Menglan Academy, although the academy has the qualifications to assign compulsory tasks to students, under normal circumstances, the assignment of compulsory tasks is in wartime, or the task is reasonable and necessary, and at the same time, the appropriate personnel for this task are only so unique, or only a few people, the academy will arrange them.

And once released, unlike normal tasks, the reward for completing mandatory tasks will be higher than that of ordinary tasks, but at the same time, if you fail to complete the task successfully, it is not that there is no loss, but there will be quite severe penalties!

Otherwise, this kind of task would not be called a mandatory task.

Prior to this, for a full year, there had been no mandatory task in Qinglong Academy and even in the entire Menglan Academy, but at this time, this mandatory task was actually assigned to Situ Nan's head.

If this task was some other special task that required special personnel to complete, and Situ Nan happened to meet this condition, he might not be so surprised, but at this time, this task turned out to be just for another student to follow him to practice and participate in the trial task, which had to surprise him.

No, this is directly using the power of the Dengfeng Realm to kill chickens!

As for the other strange part, it is the quest reward and quest punishment.

If you look at the amount of the task punishment alone, it seems to be worthy of the level of the mandatory task, one hundred points, which is the amount that many students spend several months to earn, such a punishment is not heavy!

After all, the average student will only stay in the academy for two years.

But for Situ Nan, it is different, he is different from ordinary students, as a big family, although this hundred points is a lot for him, but even if it is deducted, it will not make him break his muscles and bones, it is just the amount of a task reward, and he will not be able to deduct this hundred points.

Therefore, using this 100 points as a punishment for his compulsory task is inevitably a little painless, and some do not meet the punishment standards of the mandatory task.

Besides, the reward points, a stranger follows him for a month, and he will be rewarded with a full hundred points, and the other party is still a beautiful woman, if it is a different person, it must be directly agreed.

And although Situ Nan said that he had many secrets, if the time was limited to a month, and he was still in the academy, he was really not afraid of being seen by the girl opposite.

Otherwise, when he chose the cave mansion before, he would not have lived with Yingchen and Zhang Ping.

So for this mandatory task, in addition to feeling ridiculous, Situ Nan actually didn't have much resistance in his heart, after all, he was also a man, and a beauty followed him all day long, how could it be pleasing to the eye, right?

Thinking in his heart, Situ Nan spoke, "Yan Xia, right, I'm more curious, why would the academy issue such a mandatory task for me? If there is no special reason, then I will hand over these hundred points to the academy, after all, these are all given to me by the academy." It's just that afterwards, I will definitely ask the academy for an explanation. ”

Listening to the tone in Situ Nan's words that did not attach too much importance to the hundred points, Yan Xia couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart, in fact, at the beginning, what she thought was not so complicated, she just wanted to follow Situ Nan by herself to see how the other party cultivated and participated in the trial.

First, she wanted to follow Situ Nan to see if she could understand the sense of crisis that the other party said.

Second, she also wanted to know more about Situ Nan, after attending that meeting yesterday, she was greatly shocked by what she heard about Situ Nan's deeds, and she could hardly believe that a monk who had just broken through to the realm of entering the room could do so many things.

Therefore, she wanted to come to Situ Nan's side, see more, and feel more.

But when she told Yan Lao her thoughts, what she didn't expect was that Yan Lao would use the power of his Shadow Dean to assign such a mandatory task.

And what did Yan Lao say to her at the time, "You are so reckless to go to someone else, saying that you yourself are a big girl with yellow flowers and want to practice and try together with others, I don't know, I still think you have any thoughts about Situ Nan."

And if you go to Situ Nan like this, the other party may not let you follow like this.

But I'm going to do this mandatory task, hehe, that kid has to agree if he doesn't agree! And he's not afraid of gossip, how good. ”

Although Yan Lao said so at the time, in fact, Yan Xia had a doubt at that time, that is, in the previous meeting, she had roughly known the points that Situ Nan had, so would the other party really care about the 100 penalty points?

Sure enough, at this time, judging from Situ Nan's performance, the other party really didn't care about this point, which made Yan Xia angry for a while and took out the mandatory task list, but instead roasted her on the fire.

After being silent for a while, Yan Xia spoke, "Didn't you tell me about the sense of crisis before?" I want to follow you and experience what a sense of crisis is. ”

Situ Nan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Yan Xia's words, at this time he also thought of the scene when he first met the other party before, as well as the relationship between the other party and that Yan Lao.

In a hurry, Situ Nan said helplessly, "It's just because of this? It's useless for you to look for me, I usually practice in the cave mansion, and I will come out to class if there is a class, and I will only leave the academy when I have any tasks, and you won't be able to experience the sense of crisis I said if you follow me." ”

Listening to Situ Nan's words, Yan Xia was silent for a while before speaking, "If you accept this task, the academy will assign a task later, and the reward for that task is a metallic treasure." ”

As she spoke, Yan Xia looked at Situ Nan with a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

"Metallic treasures?" Situ Nan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he knew that the high-level of the academy, or that Yan Lao, already knew that he had one more attribute, so he would use his weakest metallic nature at this time to arouse his interest.

Situ Nan thought for a moment before he spoke, "It's not impossible for me to accept this mandatory task, but there is one thing I need to make clear in advance." ”

"You say. Listening to Situ Nan's words, Yan Xia first instinctively agreed, and then reacted, "Why should I listen to the other party's words like this?"

At this time, Situ Nan didn't know what was going on in the other party's mind, and then said, "In this month's time, if I need to be alone, I hope you won't be unsympathetic at that time." If you really want to snoop on my privacy, then I will cancel this task at any time. ”

When Yan Xia heard this, although she was a little resentful of the other party's tone, she also knew that the other party's request was understandable, so she didn't say anything more, just nodded silently.

After all, she is also causing trouble to Situ Nan, although this trouble is worth a hundred points!

Seeing that Yan Xia nodded in agreement, Situ Nan didn't ink anymore, and accepted the mandatory task list, from now on, this month's companionship time has begun.

......

Next, Situ Nan followed Yan Xia to the Shadow Academy, because today Yan Xia came to Situ Nan not only for this matter, but also for the third light gate in that place of trial.

When he came to the courtyard before, Li Hao had been waiting here for a while at this time, looking at Situ Nan and Yan Xia who came together, there was still some surprise in his eyes.

Because just yesterday, when Yan Xia came here, he didn't let Situ Nan see it, but when they met again today, the two of them came together, even before that, he knew that the person who went to convey the news of coming here to Situ Nan was Yan Xia, but how could this not surprise him.

Although he was a little confused about Yan Xia's actions in his heart, Li Hao didn't show anything on his face, looked at Situ Nan and said, "Situ Nan, it's up to you today." ”

Hearing this, Situ Nan bowed slightly, on the way here again, Yan Xia had already told him that he needed to enter the third light gate today, complete some tasks, and obtain some things.

Seeing Situ Nan nodding, Li Hao thought that the other party must have known what he was going to do today, so he didn't say anything more, and then with a wave of his hand, he opened the door that entered the space, although the three of them walked into the door and entered the space where the three light doors were located.

Looking at the familiar three light gates in front of him, Li Hao spoke, "Situ Nan, you go and try it." ”

Hearing this, Situ Nan bowed slightly, and then floated to the location of the third light gate.

When Situ Nan walked towards the location of the third light gate, the light blooming on the third light gate was slowly dimming, and the size of that light gate was also shrinking.

Until the end, when Situ Nan appeared in front of the light gate, the ten-meter-high, radiant gate had turned into a two-meter-high, ordinary small door.

Looking at the changes in front of him, Situ Nan was a little surprised in his heart, and after looking back and seeing Li Hao's surprised and affirmative gaze, he took a step forward and stepped into this small door.

After Situ Nan walked into this small door, Li Hao and Yan Xia, who were still in this space, felt a repulsive force, which was acting on them, and then, this repulsive force suddenly increased, and they were expelled from this space at once and fell back into the previous courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Hao's face changed, and then he hurriedly tried the way to open the door before, trying to enter the trial place again, but in vain.

After trying again and again, Li Hao said to Yan Xia on the side, "You guard here, I'll go find Yan Lao." After speaking, Li Hao disappeared in place.

After Li Hao disappeared, Yan Xia looked at the houses on both sides in the distance and muttered, "Is this what makes him extraordinary?"

......

Putting aside the affairs of the outside world for the time being, after Situ Nan entered the world behind the gate, he found that the situation in front of him suddenly changed greatly.

I saw that he actually appeared in a bush, and looking out through the bush, Situ Nan actually saw a town, which was sitting in front of him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Situ Nan muttered, "Is the place of trial? ”

After muttering a sentence, Situ Nan began to feel everything around him, exploring how it was different from the outside world.

After feeling it silently for a while, Situ Nan found that the world here seemed to be no different from the outside world, but there was a special energy between heaven and earth that he couldn't figure out, but he didn't know what this energy was.

After perceiving this energy, Situ Nan knew that this energy might be related to the trial he was going to complete, but the specific situation of this energy would probably have to be understood from the town in front of him.

With a certain idea in his heart, Situ Nan walked towards the city in front of him, and when he came to the city, he saw a huge plaque standing horizontally above the city gate, with four big characters on it, Sky City.

"Sky City?" Situ Nan was slightly stunned when he saw these four words, "This is not in the sky." ”

Surprised in his heart, Situ Nan still remembered these four words, since they are in the trial scene, since these things exist, they naturally have a reason for their existence, so Situ Nan believes that these four words must have their intentions!

Walking towards the city, no one came to intercept Situ Nan, so he walked into the city gate extremely smoothly.

After entering the city, Situ Nan followed the flow of people in the city according to his old method, and suddenly found the location of a large restaurant, and then he walked towards the restaurant, ready to inquire about some news inside.

"Hey, this master, please, we have the best spirit wine and spirit food here, which is guaranteed to make you drink happily and eat to your heart's content!"

Seeing Situ Nan coming, a person who looked like a little second suddenly walked out of the restaurant and greeted him.

Listening to the other party's words, Situ Nan took out a purple gold spirit stone from his storage ring and said tentatively to the other party, "Is this enough?"

The other party looked at the spirit stone in Situ Nan's hand, nodded busily, and said, "This master said that he laughed, such a big piece of purple lazuli is just a meal, how can it not be enough." ”

Hearing what the other party said, Situ Nan breathed a sigh of relief, if this place didn't recognize his spirit stones, he really didn't know what to do, and at this time, he heard that the currency here was also a spirit stone, which made him feel a little more confident.

Turning over his hand and putting the spirit stone back into the storage ring, Situ Nan followed the other party and walked towards the restaurant.

After walking into the restaurant, Situ Nan found that the rest of the restaurant here was no different from ordinary restaurants, but the strange thing was that the second floor here was not allowed to go up.

Seeing this scene, Situ Nan couldn't help but secretly raise his mind, but he didn't ask the shopkeeper directly on the side, but only secretly increased his attention to the stairs on the second floor.

Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Situ Nan came to a dining table, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Bring me your signature dishes and signature wine." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he shouted, "Okay! Guest officer, wait a minute." Table 6 signature dish and signature wine!"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper left Situ Nan and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

After the shopkeeper left, Situ Nan began to listen to the conversation of the people around him, while secretly paying attention to the movement of the stairs.

......
