This old man doesn't know what means to use, he can often get some delicious snacks outside every once in a while, Zhong Xingyue asked him, he didn't say anything, she got used to it after a long time.

Anyway, if you don't want money, you don't eat for nothing.

The old man cleaned up himself, shaved his stubble, washed his filth, put on new clothes, and in fact he did not look bad, and was a very amiable elder, if you did not know what he did, of course.

His surname is Ji, what his name is unknown, Zhong Xingyue politely called him Grandpa Ji, he himself was very disgusted with this title, but the mouth of the call was not on him, and he couldn't care about it.

Since Ji Lao got on the flying boat and relied on Zhong Xingyue, every two or three days, some students lost things, but it was not a valuable thing, it was some clothes soap powder and the like, and the students on the flying boat were guarding against each other like thieves every day.

Mr. Responsible came to check once, but in the end it was fruitless, so everyone had to give up, anyway, it was not a valuable thing, and if it was lost, it would be lost.

What made Zhong Xingyue relax was that until she returned to the capital of Zhao Guoguo, no one came out to rob her, and when she returned to the academy, she was even less worried, unless it was those characters in the Eastern Wilderness, otherwise, it was the safest in the academy.

Besides, those characters in the Eastern Wilderness will take a fancy to her bit of property?

Ji Lao couldn't follow her to school, Zhong Xingyue thought about it, so he bought a small courtyard property on the side of the road outside the capital, and let him make a living by selling tea, Ji Lao was unwilling, but under Zhong Xingyue's coercion and temptation, he agreed aggrievedly.

Zhong Xingyue thought, although this old man has a little temper, but he is not a bad person, and he is also very good to her, if she leaves Zhao Country one day, let him be with his mother, he is cunning, and he will take care of his mother's real nature.

On her first day back at the academy, she was called to the dean's lounge.

"You say, what did the dean ask us for?"

Wu Tian stepped on the dirt path under his feet, the fresh grass on both sides was fragrant, he walked in no shape, sometimes teasing the birds, sometimes looking at the flowers, and sometimes chatting with other people without a stubble.

There are also Ji Xunchen, Luoxue Gongzi, and Lou Ruoman.

"Probably to encourage us. ”

Wu Tian sighed and made an impatient appearance,

"I'm most afraid of the elders' lectures. ”

Zhong Xingyue pouted, she wanted to have an elder to admonish her, but she only had one mother who doted on her.

After staying at the National Academy for a long time, going back and forth on the hill several times a day, it was the first time that Zhong Xingyue had come to a position above the halfway up the mountain.

Sure enough, as the students said, the higher the hill, the more intense the Yuan Li became, and even the few trees that grew scattered were more verdant and stronger than those under the mountain.

The attic on the top of the hill is sparse, the exotic flowers and plants are luxuriant, and the scenery is particularly pleasant.

The dean's room was open, and as soon as they arrived, they heard the dean's voice inside,

"Come in. ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, it was the snow boy who took the lead and entered the door one by one.

The dean's room is quite elegant, and the dean himself is also seven points kind.

These juniors are not qualified to sit, so they can only stand in a row honestly.

"I've heard that a few of you did well at the meeting. ”

Well......

Several people did not speak.

I can't say, yes, I'm amazing...

"In view of your excellent performance, which has greatly boosted my Zhao Guoxiong, I, as an elder, can't help but say something, so as long as it is within my ability, what do you want, I will promise you, how about it?"

It's true?

Several people were immediately overjoyed.

This is a promise made by the dean of the national academy himself, and it is really a great reward!

Zhong Xingyue's eyes lit up, the dean is the most powerful person in the National Academy, and there are many things that he can do.

The next thing is the time for each student to talk individually, after all, each student has different requirements, and some may not want others to know that Zhong Xingyue is the penultimate to enter.

"Zhong Xingyue?"

The dean sat in his chair, crossed his hands, and looked at Zhong Xingyue with a smile.

"Yes. ”

"Your performance has also told me, it's very good, it has boosted the morale of the students in my academy, and besides, you are the first in the second-year competition, so you should be rewarded, say, what do you want?"

Zhong Xingyue hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, she still mustered up the courage to say,

"I want a spot. ”

"Places?"

"Yes, the quota of the Taikang Secret Realm. ”

Li Dongming was surprised, but then he thought of something, and he understood the reason why Zhong Xingyue wanted to enter the Taikang Secret Realm.

"You want jade lotus root?"

"Yes. ”

Zhong Xingyue did not shy away.

She came to the National Academy, on the one hand, to cultivate, to obtain a good reputation, and to arrange for her mother, and on the other hand, to get the jade lotus root and regenerate her broken arm.

The former still has time, but the latter, it has been less than a year since the Taikang Secret Realm opened, and she is not sure if she will be able to defeat the third-grade brothers and sisters and get the precious place, so, for the sake of insurance, she decided to take advantage of this opportunity to directly obtain the right to enter the Taikang Secret Realm.

"You know, there's a lot of danger inside, are you ready?"

"Yes, the students have to go in, they have to get the jade lotus root. ”

Her demeanor was firm and her attitude was resolute, and Li Dongming had to sigh.

Anyway, he can still decide if he gives one or two places, and besides, this girl has contributed to the academy.

"Okay, I'll give you this quota, but, Zhong Xingyue, you have to know how big the danger is inside, I don't want you to die, the future Zhao Kingdom will still need you children, so, I hope you can be fully prepared. ”

Zhong Xingyue did not hide the gratitude on her face,

"Students remember the Dean's teachings. ”

Li Dongming wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

"Go down. ”

Zhong Xingyue bowed deeply from the bottom of her heart, and when she exited the door, she happened to pass by Ji Xunchen, who was about to enter.

They looked at each other and nodded and smiled.

Wu Tian and the others had already left, and Zhong Xingyue was not good at staying at the top of the mountain any longer, so he also took advantage of the fact that it was still early and went down early.

On the hill, her school house had not been cleaned for several months, and as soon as she returned, she cleaned it inside and out, and finally took out the mysterious alchemy furnace and put it on the table to look at.

This alchemy furnace is really hard, and it can still be intact under Ji Xunchen's sword, and now looking at it, it is still like a piece of black iron in the shape of a furnace, nothing special.

She thought to herself, she can't do alchemy in the future, it will cost hundreds of rune papers, that will burn more money, she can't afford it.
