The sunlight shone into Yang Ming's room from the window, and the young man was still asleep on the bed, and soon a slight snoring sounded, and suddenly, a faint light appeared in Yang Ming's body, like a floating white mist, and Zu Ze rose out of the young man's body.

Zu Ze walked to the window, looking very nervous, and secretly looked at the girl in the yard with a careful and vigilant gaze, only to see Cai Yin holding a firewood knife in her right hand, and then threw it into the corner of the courtyard, and at the same time, the cold aura hidden in her heart also dissipated.

Seeing Cai Yin throw the firewood knife, Zu Ze finally breathed a long sigh of relief, his face softened a little, he squinted at Yang Ming, who was still asleep, and said happily, "Young master, you have to thank me well, thanks to me, pretend that your voice says that you like Cai Yin, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Just now, when Cai Yin walked into Yang Ming, Zu Ze keenly felt a cold aura from the girl, that breath was very terrifying, although Cai Yin was smiling on the surface, but behind her smile was a knife with murderous intent.

When Cai Yin asked Yang Ming, "Do you like me?" In fact, at this time, Yang Ming was already confused and could not answer the girl's question, so Zu Ze, who was hiding in Yang Ming's body, was in a hurry, pretending to be Yang Ming's voice, and replied, "I like you, Cai Yin." ”

Cai Yin then took back the firewood knife and left satisfied.

Although he deceived Cai Yin, in order to protect the young master and protect the bloodline of the family, Zu Ze had to do this.

Just now, Zu Ze saw the shadow of that woman from Cai Yin's body, and for a moment, Zu Ze felt that Cai Yin was that woman. If it is true, that woman has been resurrected with Cai Yin's body and has recovered all her witchcraft powers, if she is aware of my existence, not only me, but even Young Master Yang Ming, the only descendant of this family, will be killed by her.

Fortunately, after Cai Yin heard the answer of "Yang Ming likes herself", the resentment hidden in her body dissipated, and the woman's soul fell asleep again, which prevented a catastrophe.

At this time, Yang Ming, who was asleep, didn't know if he had any sweet dreams, and suddenly laughed, and then said in his dream, "Xin'er, I really like you, I swear that I only love you alone in this life." ”

Hearing the young man's dream words, Zu Ze's face suddenly became nervous, he quickly looked out the window, fortunately Cai Yin was no longer in the courtyard at this time, and returned to his room.

Zu Ze relieved his heart and said to Yang Ming, "Whew, I'm scared to death." Fortunately, Cai Yin didn't hear what you said in her dream, otherwise, judging from her appearance just now, Cai Yin would definitely kill you, and Xin'er, maybe, everyone in the entire Jiang country, she will not let go, yes, that's right, she is such a vicious and violent woman, once she resents it, she will be murderous. ”

On this day, Zu Ze was very uneasy in his heart, he was worried that Cai Yin would come in again, and he was worried that Yang Ming would talk in his dreams again, so he kept staying by Yang Ming's bedside and didn't dare to be careless.

Fortunately, the day was uneventful, Yang Ming slept until the night, and Cai Yin was also very tired, and it was not until dawn the next day that the girl woke up.

After Yang Ming woke up, Zu Ze admonished the young man very seriously, and said, "Young master, I know that Xin'er has secretly agreed with you, of course, this is your private matter, young master, I don't care about it, and young master, you have also found your beloved woman, and I am also happy for you." However, young master, you must promise me one thing, you must keep the matter of you and Xin'er secret, especially to Caiyin, and never let her know that you like Xin'er. ”

"Why is this?" Yang Ming asked with a confused face.

"This ...... Now, I can't explain it to you, but you have to promise me. Zu Ze said in a very resolute tone, not allowing Yang Ming to refuse.

"Well, I promise you, but I can't hide it for the rest of my life. You know, I promised Xin'er that when I became a general, I would marry her as my wife. ”

"I know, it's just that you are just letting the young master keep it a secret for the time being, and I won't let you hide it for the rest of your life. In the future, when you cultivate to be strong enough, and my strength is fully recovered, then we won't have to be afraid of that woman. ”

Zu Ze said as he looked out the window and stared at Cai Yin's room.

"Young master, you like Xin'er and want to marry her, then you must protect her. In order to protect, you have to become stronger, stronger. That way, no one will dare to threaten you, no one will stop you, and you can do whatever you want. ”

"I know, I promise you. Looking at Zu Ze's gaze, Yang Ming nodded seriously.

Yes, in order to fulfill my vow with Xin'er, I must become stronger!

......

The next day, Xiuwu Academy ushered in an important day, that is, the Excellence Promotion Ceremony.

This time, the Jiang Rong and Liangguo Excellence Selection Examination held in the Mountain of No Return was to select outstanding students, list them as excellent students, and focus on training. Although Jiang Zi'an was interrupted in the middle of the exam because of Jiang Zi'an's rebellion, the whole process of the competition is obvious to everyone, and the excellent performance of students such as Yang Ming, Liu Qianyu, and Chen Sheng has been recognized by Jiang Wang and a number of examiners and teachers.

Moreover, in this exam, Jiang Guo's students paid a very heavy price. At the beginning, there were more than 100 Jiang Guo students who participated in the excellent examination on behalf of Jiang Guo, but in the end, only 28 survived.

Therefore, after the state banquet, King Jiang specially gave grace to those students who died in the exam, on the one hand, comforted those students who died in the exam, held a state funeral for them, and buried them with the highest funeral. On the other hand, it was announced that all the students who survived, without exception, were classified as honors. The three people in the Xiacai Academy, Yang Ming, Lin Dong, and Cai Yin, who just became an official student of the Xiacai Academy yesterday, Cai Yin also became the first student of the Xiuwu Academy to be listed as an excellent student just after entering the academy, and became the person of the year for a while, presumably after a few years, it will become another legend in the mouth of the younger students. In Shangcai Academy, there are more than 20 aristocratic students such as Liu Qianyu, Chen Sheng, Yun Caili, Meng Bo, Zhang Hao, Yan Zhendong, etc., and even Ye Zhanfei, who is known as the 'fat worm', has become an excellent student.

Whether they are dead or surviving students, they are all heroes of the Martial Arts Academy. Except, of course, the only traitor, Wang Shi. At the time of no return to the mountain, Wang Shi was killed by Yang Ming, afterwards, the Xiuwu Academy completely removed Wang Shi's name from the list of students, Jiang Guo Xiuwu Academy cultivated national soldiers, the most important thing is the word loyalty, the first is "loyalty", loyal to the country, loyal to the king, like Wang Shi, who betrayed the country and betrayed the king, is the most despised, all the subjects of Jiang Guo, everyone spurned. Wang Shi is death is not a pity, and it also affects his family, and he will not be able to hold his head up in Jiang Country for the rest of his life, and he will be despised by others.

......

The Meritorious Advancement Ceremony was held at the summit martial arts field of Asahi Mountain, which was the best place for cultivation in the entire academy and even in the entire Jiang Kingdom, and only students who were listed as excellent students would be eligible to practice in the mountaintop martial arts field of Asahi Mountain.

Standing on the top of Asahi Mountain, looking towards the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the holy capital "Muguang", you will see the dazzling pillar of light that stands in the center of the continent and towers between heaven and earth like a lonely peak.

Yang Ming looked at [Taiyao] from afar, feeling the Puze of the divine light, the dragon source veins in the young man's body were wide open, greedily absorbing the divine light of [Taiyao]. The light of [Taiyao] passed through thousands of miles and shone on the Jiang country in the extreme east of the mainland, and the power of the light was already weak to one ten-thousandth, but it was only one ten-thousandth, which already made people feel moved. The light of the sun is a bottle of sake, but the divine light of [Taiyao] is the daughter red of the cellar for a hundred years, and just one drop is enough to make people have an endless aftertaste and can't stop.

Bathing in the divine light, Yang Ming tasted a beautiful feeling that he had never had before! At this moment, the young man looked at [Taiyao] thousands of miles away, and his heart was full of infinite yearning and longing.

"How can I be satisfied with this one-thousandth of a 'drop'? I want to taste your whole taste. Yang Ming said in his heart.

Shen Mo first announced the list of students who passed the merit exam, so far, Yang Ming and other students have officially become among the top students, and they can practice on the top of Mount Asahi in the future.

The second thing, Shen Mo also took this opportunity to announce that Cai Man, the head of the Shangcai Academy, had resigned from all positions in the academy yesterday and left the Martial Arts Academy. Regarding Cai Man's resignation, Yang Ming and other students of the Academy of Talents applauded. "You deserve it, dead fatty, I have always despised our civilian students on weekdays, and I always like to find trouble in the Academy, but now that I have left the academy, it can be regarded as his own fault. ”

Yang Ming said in his heart.

Cai Man is gone, and Shangcai Yuan needs a new person in charge. Immediately, Shen Mo announced the name of the new director, who was one of the examiners of the excellent exam, Xu Yan.

At the time of no return to the mountain, Xu Yan was not afraid of Jiang Zi'an's military coercion, resolutely expressed his loyalty to King Jiang, and later followed King Jiang into the Mountain of No Return, in order to avoid the search of the rebels, he took off King Jiang's court clothes, and then put them on himself, so as to lead away the pursuit of the rebels.

Although Xu Yan is a literati, his loyalty, his bravery, his spirit of not fearing power and insisting on justice are deeply imprinted in the hearts of all students. Xu Yan's appointment as the head of the Shangcai Academy is expected by everyone, and all the students, whether they are nobles of the Shangcai Academy or civilians of the Xiacai Academy, are sincerely welcomed.

On this day, the entire Jiang Guo Xiuwu Academy was immersed in the joy of the promotion ceremony. However, on this day, a bad news reached the national capital Liang envoy Cheng Yu was attacked when he left the border of Jiang, and his life and death were unknown, and the prisoners who attacked him were the two brothers Feng Quan and Feng Gang who had escaped in the Mountain of No Return earlier.

The envoys of the Liang State were attacked in the territory of the Jiang State, and the prisoners who attacked the attack were still Jiang Guo people! The Liang State is a big country in the East, and the most important thing for a big country is face and majesty, how can it tolerate this kind of humiliation, and the Liang State will inevitably take revenge on Jiang Guo on this ground!

When the bad news came back to Jiang Guo, the people of the whole country were terrified.
