The first class was English, which was also Xia Qiu's favorite subject besides Chinese. Although I have missed countless classes, it feels like the sentences in the book are suddenly much longer than in the past, but once I have mastered the basic grammar, I will not find it difficult to understand the meaning.

When she raised her hand, the English teacher naturally called her by name and asked her to answer a question about passive voice, and she coped with it with ease, feeling a little proud. As soon as I sat down in the chair, I noticed that there was an extra note on the table at some point.

Unfolded it, it was Ouyang Xiaoleng's handwriting, and he asked bluntly: "What's the matter with the injury on your hand?" ”

The class bell remembered that a few seconds ago, he hurried into the classroom, and when he passed Xia Qiu's position, he saw the gauze wrapped around her hand. I wanted to wait until after class to ask her why she was injured, but he couldn't stay up until halfway through the class.

Xia Qiu hesitated about how to convey the matter of Black Fall's sudden appearance in front of him to Ouyang Xiaoleng, if he was not careful to say the wrong word, he would probably rush out of the classroom directly, kill to the barren mountain north of the Demon Realm King City, find out where Black Fall and his wolves were hiding, and then fight him to the death. After all, before yesterday, whether Blackfall had helped them or not, he was their enemy, and how could the long-standing grievances and grievances be easily resolved; Moreover, since she was snatched away by Qingyun, Ouyang Xiaoleng has become extremely sensitive to this situation.

After thinking about it, although she decided to tell him the truth, it was in a face-to-face format, and it was indeed a little difficult to put such a long story on paper. So he replied to him on a note first: "It's nothing, let's go to class first!" I'll talk about it during my lunch break. ”

Originally, she wanted to leave this lunch break for her and Liu Lingmei, and unconsciously being able to sit face to face with her, and sharing each other's bento with laughter and laughter has become a very luxurious thing, and she has long been a little out of touch with the things that have been popular among girls recently. However, the top priority was how to convince Ouyang Xiaoleng to accept Blackfall into their team.

At noon, the rooftop was already slightly hot, Ouyang Xiaoleng directly took off his school uniform jacket, and the opening of his shirt was also untied by three, revealing a beautiful collarbone. I don't know if it's because the sun is too dazzling, but at this time, he is surrounded by that touch of gold, and he is a little beautiful that she can't look at directly. She felt her cheeks flush the moment she looked at him, and the sudden increase in her heartbeat made her take a few deep breaths.

Ouyang Xiaoleng stretched out a hand without warning, put it straight on her forehead, and asked, "Aren't you having a fever?" Why is your face so hot? ”

Xia Qiu shook her head, her heart was beating faster and faster, she turned her gaze to the side and responded, "No...... No! ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng blinked his eyes suspiciously, then pointed to the bandaged place on her hand and asked, "Okay, now tell me how you got this?" ”

Xia Qiu adjusted his breathing and said as calmly as possible: "You promise me not to be impulsive first, and you have to listen to me finish everything." ”

"Good!" Ouyang Xiaoleng had already guessed that the injury on her hand was not ordinary, and he, who was eager to know the answer, agreed to her request more happily than she imagined.

"Blackfall came looking for me last night." After saying this, Xia Qiu paused first, and seeing that Ouyang Xiaoleng wanted to have a seizure but still endured it, she continued, "I don't remember the time when I was injured by his Black Meteor Knife in Chi Mir, but it is true that he suddenly fell into a state where he could not fight. ”

"yes, we thought it was weird at the time, but we were so focused on escaping from the dungeon that we didn't have time to think about it that much." Ouyang Xiaoleng immediately remembered the situation at that time, the black fall sitting on the ground seemed to have received a huge blow, far from his previous tough image.

"When I came into contact with the Black Fall Knife that day, I inadvertently entered a state of soul detachment, and as a result, I read out some information contained in the Black Fall Knife, which was related to the origin of the Black Fall. Since then, he has been hesitating whether to disobey Qingyun's orders and come to me to learn more about his background. Xia Qiu continued.

"Before, in Hidden Song, he first let us go at the mountain god bottle, and then sent a pack of wolves to help us when we escaped from the Matsuyama Temple. At that time, he said that he helped us because he wanted to ask you for help, so he had to let you live, and now I finally understand what is worth it for him to betray Qingyun, the devil. Ouyang Xiaoleng finally had a clue about the question about Blackfall in his heart after he left Yinsong, but he thought about it and asked, "But what does this have to do with your injury?" Is it ......?"

Xia Qiu then told Ouyang Xiaoleng how Black Fall came to the world as the only surviving descendant of the Black Wolf Clan, and how he became Qingyun's subordinate from beginning to end, but he and the wolves were temporarily stationed outside the royal city, and she planned to save it until the end, before that, she had to probe Ouyang Xiaoleng's reaction.

"So this injury is because he wanted to cut himself off after knowing his background, and you stepped forward to stop it?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked after listening to her words.

"Uh-huh." Xia Qiu waited earnestly for what Ouyang Xiaoleng would say next.

"It's only you who would do that, aren't you afraid that he's a spy sent by Qingyun? The purpose is to tie you back? Ouyang Xiaoleng asked helplessly.

"Blackfall shouldn't be like that." Xia Qiu shook his head and replied affirmatively.

"Why are you so sure?!" It was hard for Ouyang Xiaoleng to imagine that after experiencing the mortal danger, she could still firmly believe in the Black Fall.

"Intuition." Xia Qiu's answer was simple and straightforward.

"Okay, so it looks like he was stopped by you, what does he want to do next?" Ouyang Xiaoleng knew that this was Xia Qiu's character, so he no longer dwelled on it, but continued to ask.

"He said that if I needed him, I could get his help at any time, and he would not go back to Qingyun. Also, if you want to punish him for the past, he will gladly accept it. ”

"I do have some questions for him, where is he now?"

"You're not really going to arrest him, are you?" Xia Qiu was still not completely sure of Ouyang Xiaoleng's attitude, so he asked him rhetorically.

"Perhaps, but he might be able to help us a little before we convict him."

"For example?"

"He must know who the inner ghost in the royal city is."

"You mean the one who broke the Divine Pillar Seal and let Yaksha go......" Xia Qiu remembered that Ouyang Xiaoleng almost died because of this, and she actually shivered under the sun.

"Yes!"

The anger in Ouyang Xiaoleng's eyes was in obvious contrast to the ice sculpture-like face, which was the interweaving of ice and fire. The traitor who had been hiding in the royal city and constantly betraying them, it was he who broke the seal of the Four Divine Pillars, played him and Xia Qiu and the others around, and it was he who let go of the Yaksha and planted the blame for Mochizuki, causing him to become the finger of a thousand people, and he was forced to escape from the royal city and become a shadow warrior.

No matter what kind of high-sounding reason this person has, his betrayal of Wang Cheng is unforgivable by him Ouyang Xiaoleng, and he even suspects that this person is directly related to Qingyun's successful sneak attack on Wang Cheng sixteen years ago, then he is the accomplice of the devil, and he has nothing to do with the death of his parents.

He was swayed by anger for a moment, and froze in place, not speaking again.

"Xiao Leng?" Xia Qiu called, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Huh? It's nothing! Can you tell me where Blackfall is hiding now? Ouyang Xiaoleng came back to his senses and asked.

"He and the wolves are in the barren mountains north of the royal city, if you have any questions for him, I will go with you." Xia Qiu still felt that the best way to prevent Ouyang Xiaoleng from clashing with Blackfall was that she had to be present as well.

The two of them decided to go directly outside the royal city after school to look for Blackfall, but before that, Xia Qiu first borrowed all the notes of various subjects, and asked Dong Muya to help her make two copies, one for herself and one for Ouyang Xiaoleng.

She never asked if Ouyang Xiaoleng would continue to study like her after finishing high school, going to college was just her dream, and it had nothing to do with her family's expectations or external pressure, she just wanted to review her homework in the library in the afternoon, listen to the professor's speech in the lecture hall, and participate in various extracurricular activities......

Entering the maze path, and then passing through the two corridors, Xia Qiu once again stepped on the land of the demon world with Ouyang Xiaoleng. They flew directly to the barren mountain in the north of the city, and it seemed to be a long time since the last time they looked at the entire royal city under the purple sky from a high altitude, and the beauty of the royal city was still the same, and the original golden roof of Chenji Palace also turned golden red in the setting sun. Not far away, on the observation deck with the big bell, she and Ouyang Xiaoleng once enjoyed the fantastic beauty of the purple white lotus side by side, as well as the fireworks show unique to the demon world.

Xia Qiu was intoxicated by these beautiful memories, and at some point a hand was held by Ouyang Xiaoleng, he was reminding her that it was time to descend. But then she remembered that the barren mountain was huge, and she wasn't sure how to let Blackfall know that she was coming.

He landed with her on a flat spot in the barren mountains, and then looked around alarmingly, wondering where Blackfall had hidden the wolves. When he was flying in the air with Xia Qiu just now, he tried to find the traces of the wolves, but he was unsuccessful.

But Xia Qiu used the most primitive method and shouted loudly: "Blackfall! ”

Her voice echoed through the barren mountains, and soon it was echoed by the howl of a wolf.

"Whew!"

The howls of the wolves came from all directions, and even if Ouyang Xiaoleng's hearing and sense of smell were abnormally sensitive, it was still difficult to discern the direction where the black fall would come. And it was not the Black Fall himself who came to greet them, but the head wolf who had talked to Ouyang Xiaoleng and them when they were in Yinsong, and the wolves except it did not all surround them, but stood at a distance and waited.

"Lord Demon King Fox, Lord Xia Qiu." The black wolf saluted them slowly and called out.

"We're here to find Blackfall." Xia Qiu was still a little unaccustomed to being called an adult, and she guessed that this should mean Blackfall.

"It's very unfortunate that Lord Blackfall just isn't here." The black wolf looked up and replied.

"Oh? Where did he go? Ouyang Xiaoleng asked first.

"This ......," the black wolf became a little slurred, "my lord has gone to see someone." ”

"See someone? In the royal city?! Did he go to see that traitor?! Hehe...... "Ouyang Xiaoleng was already skeptical about the fact that Blackfall would abandon evil and follow good, and now he felt more and more that his behavior was strange.

"Lord Blackfall's decision to serve Lord Xia Qiu is not a little false, but the Lord wants to try to convince that person to confess to you what she did." Black Wolf immediately explained.

"Let's wait here for a while, and don't get angry until we hear what he himself has to say." Xia Qiu looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng and said.
