The wheels made of steel turned, constantly colliding with the potholed ground with a dull clanging sound.

It was the sound of chariots walking along the mountain paths, accompanied by the footsteps of horseshoes and boots.

A pair of men and horses were marching through the forest, on the way out of the mountain towards the southeast.

Obviously, this was an envoy from the Kingdom of Ji - among the trialists from the Eight Kingdoms, only the envoys of the State of Chu and the State of Ji came, but those teams composed of the Golden Guards of the State of Chu were all wiped out when the Huashan Sword Sect was attacked.

"Now, it's finally over, hahu. ”

Looking at the white sun behind the dense foliage, Kosun Tenmori stretched. At this time, even on a journey of hundreds of miles, he felt much more relaxed.

"Yes, even though it's only a few days of trial, it's physically and mentally exhausting. ”

Beside him, Yu Qinglian replied. She was behind Gongsun Tianshou, not leaving an inch, and her eyes fell on the young man's face from time to time, revealing an idiotic smile, and her cheeks were flushed with crimson.

"I don't know what happened to Chu Mohua, he actually woke up and left alone without even saying goodbye - alas, Sister Yu, what are you laughing at. ”

Thinking of the girl who was also a friend of trouble, Gongsun Tianshou whispered to himself. However, he suddenly felt the gaze cast by him, and he looked at Yu Qinglian with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, cough cough, it's just that my spirit is a little dazed, my neck is a little sore, maybe I'm too tired. ”

At this time, Yu Qinglian was relieved from his dementia, and the flush on his cheeks instantly spread to the roots of his ears. She was a little overwhelmed, her eyes averted, and she explained in a panic.

However, Yu Qinglian's words made Gongsun Tianshou more and more confused.

"Also, I worked hard all the way before, Sister Yu, and now I have to travel overnight. That.. Why don't you get in the car and rest? Moreover, I think Xiao Yan also needs a companion in the chariot alone, so that the journey is not too boring. ”

Out of concern for Yu Qinglian, Gongsun Tianshou said so, and gave her a smile by the way.

However, the corners of Yu Qinglian's mouth twitched, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart.

"Bah, baba, the central air conditioner is stupid, and sure enough, it is so sluggish whether it grows up or not. ”

Yu Qinglian whispered to herself, rolling her eyes.

Faintly hearing the girl's muttering, Gongsun Tianshou tilted his head and blinked, and the incomprehension in his eyes became a little thicker.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, don't worry about it, if I'm tired, I'll go to rest, I don't need to say it. ”

Yu Qinglian puffed out his cheeks a little angrily and replied to Gongsun Tianshou.

"Uh-huh, too... I'm sorry for making a claim... ”

Faced with the inexplicably angry girl, Gongsun Tianshou had to apologize to her with an embarrassed smile. Ever since he left the sword mound, Gongsun Tianshou has always felt that Yu Qinglian in front of him has simply changed-like... It's become rude.

"Ahem, ahem, it's good that you know—anyway, let's not talk about it for now—you stop, there's something I want to give you. ”

With that, Yu Qinglian took out a headscarf from his long sleeves.

"Oh, uh-huh... ”

Gongsun Tianshou nodded silently, and his body stopped in place. He watched as Yu Qinglian grabbed the ends of his headscarf and put his hands around the back of his head.

The hot and humid snort hit the bridge of Gongsun Tianshou's nose, and his eyes looked at the girl in front of him who was a little taller than himself, her serious expression was still so familiar, and there was no previous arrogance. Unconsciously, Gongsun Tianshou's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were a little distracted, so that when he heard the voice in his ear, he didn't react at all.

"The picture of God on your forehead is lit up. ”

The index finger is wiped over the bandana, leaving a talisman. Yu Qinglian said, withdrew his hand, and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

For a long time, it wasn't until Yu Qinglian stepped back that Gongsun Tianshou came back to his senses.

"What !!! God ... ！！！”

Seeing that Gongsun Tianshou was about to shout, Yu Qinglian hurriedly blocked his mouth and cast a reproachful gaze.

"Are you a pig!?"

。。。

In the wooden carriage, six teenagers and girls sat in it.

The space in the car is not very large, but, for six people, it is not close to the body.

However, even if they didn't touch each other, they could still feel the fiery anxiety emanating from each other. This invisible fire seemed to make the air in this small space hot, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

"Although, I know, so many things have happened, it is difficult for anyone to accept it for a while, but, is it useless to continue to be decadent like this-Master, they ordered us to go to Tianyan Academy, didn't they let us waste our time worrying about things that could no longer be changed?"

Bai Luohai, hesitated for a long time, and finally said these words.

He turned his head and looked at the five people beside him, waiting for their response.

Now, there is no need to play a strong appearance in front of many disciples, they finally revealed the sadness they wanted to vent the most.

"Yes, it's useless to be depressed. ”

Yue Qingshan said, turning his face facing the Xuan window to his junior brothers and sisters.

"And those things shouldn't be left to you in the first place—revenge, or protection, just leave them to me. ”

Listening to the words of the senior brother, everyone looked at him, and their complicated expressions revealed the mixed feelings in their hearts.

"I went down for a walk - I just woke up and was in the car, and sure enough, I was still a little uncomfortable. ”

Saying this, Yue Qingshan smiled faintly. He pushed open the chariot door and jumped out of the car.

"You better take advantage of the time to get a good grasp of what you have gained from the sword mound - the entrance exam of Tianyan Academy is not so simple. ”

The boy's voice mingled with the creak of the wooden door, and then faded away with a soft thud.

The five people in the car looked at the place where Yue Qingshan was sitting before, and they all frowned.

"What a fool. ”

。。。

In the dense forest, a red figure flashed.

That's Chu Mohua. Ever since she woke up from her coma and found that the Huashan Sword Sect had actually been attacked, and all the golden guards she was accompanying were gone, she immediately left this dangerous place.

Moreover, she remembered that before leaving, her father had explained to her-

"Once you come out of the sword mound, no matter what time it is, you must rush back immediately. ”

At present, it seems that her father, Chu Zelin, may have expected that this trip to Huashan must be dangerous.

"I don't know, what happened to him. ”

Thinking of this, Chu Mohua unconsciously began to worry about the young man who had only been with him for a short time.

She looked up at the warm glow of the sun in the sky, and her face flushed a little more. Now she realized that when she was thinking about that young man, she had unconsciously stepped out of the mountains and forests.

"But also, that guy has that guy named Yu Qinglian next to him, and he must be much safer than my current situation. ”

For some reason, Chu Mohua's face appeared in Chu Mohua's mind again. Thinking back to that girl, she always had a strange feeling - the girl who had nothing to do with her before, seemed to be a little hostile to her, and seemed to take some special care of her.

"Ahh Now, let's concentrate on hurrying back to Danyang City—well, who's where?!"

In a trance, Chu Mohua seemed to see a woman and a young man with wolf ears, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She stopped and rubbed her eyes. She didn't know if she was dazzled, but the woman's graceful back was deeply imprinted in her heart, even if it was so vague.

"It's strange, there's no one. ”

Chu Mohua muttered, looking confused.

"Let's keep going. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Mohua still put the momentary doubts behind him. She took another step and headed down the hill, her steps lighter than ever.
