Chapter Thirty-Six: Rainy Night's Sleep
Different from the spring light during the day, it has been raining lightly since the evening, perhaps because it is in the spiritual valley where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is luxuriant, this light rain seems to contain infinite vitality - dripping on the leaves, dripping into the soil, covering the academy in this valley with a layer of hazy and misty heavenly clothing.
The wooden door of the dormitory was opened again, and Bai Yanruo, who was carrying a wooden food box, walked in gently, looking at Ye Chaoxiao's actions when he left, bursts of piercing snoring made Bai Yanruo confirm that he was still asleep, and gently put the food box on the table in front of Ye Chaoxiao's bed, his eyes were a little complicated.
"This kid...... What was I thinking? Forget it, he's my business. ”
While muttering in a low voice, he sat on his bed, thinking of Xiao Yihan, who came to find him during the day, and the things he said-
A few hours ago—
"It's a nice place to be clean, tell me something. Bai Yanruo sat on the bench and said while eating a bowl of freshly cooked noodles with mixed sauce, in order to ask for a clean place to speak, Xiao Yihan specially took him to a small noodle restaurant near the mountain behind the college, and there was no business on weekdays, but the taste of noodles was really good, and his speech was clean.
"Chang Liang, that's good, I said it. Xiao Yihan swallowed the mouthful of noodles in his mouth as he spoke: "There is a freshman named Ye Chaoxiao in the outer courtyard, live in your room." ”
"yes, what's wrong, what's the problem?"
"No problem, my uncle...... No, Vice Dean Wu values him very much, but you know that his cultivation is not good, and there will be no inner court selection for the freshman grade in three months, so you can help feed him some medicine and help him send him in. ”
"I'll go, Xiao Yihan, brother's profession is an alchemist, you are not a god. You're crazy, three months, let a third-stage fighter go to the inner courtyard, you think everyone is a pervert like you. Hearing Xiao Yihan's words, the noodles in Bai Yanruo's mouth suddenly spewed out, and the whole person almost fell off the bench. What kind of international joke, even if the average level of the inner court selection will be lowered if the freshman year is to be held, those who can enter the inner court are at least the best at the fighter level, and to help a third-stage fighter catch up within three months, this is completely beyond common sense.
"Don't you just like to do this kind of mystery, anyway, it's up to you what you do. If you do it well this time, you can also enter the inner courtyard, of course, you can enter at any time, but the Danfang ...... collected by Vice Dean Wu seems to have long guessed that Bai Yanruo would be this reaction, Xiao Yihan said leisurely while adding two spoonfuls of soy sauce to his bowl.
"Hey, hey, is there such a thing as a lure?
"Don't give you nonsense, let's say a quasi-letter, you can't afford this job. After swallowing another mouthful of noodles, Xiao Yihan put down his chopsticks, and said seriously at Bai Yanruo, who was still eating hard.
"Well, to tell you the truth, it's impossible for a fighter, it's still possible for a high-level fighter, and this is the limit of what I can do without hurting his body, and it's also the limit that his body can bear. In that case, the chance of participating in the inner court selection is very small, but it is not impossible. Let's hope this kid has the same cross-level challenge skills as you. Bai Yanruo pondered for a long time while eating noodles, put down his chopsticks after eating the last bite of noodles, looked at Xiao Yihan, and said equally seriously. After that, he stood up and walked towards the door, and before leaving, he didn't forget to bring a sentence with him-
"Boss, he pays. ”
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, since the beginning of spring, this seems to be the first time that such a heavy rainstorm has fallen around Qingcheng, accompanied by the howling wind, not as gentle as the day, the wind in this night ruthlessly blows off the petals, blows the leaves off, and suddenly makes a mess in the originally neat and quiet college. A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, and the white smoke reacted from the memory, and then remembered that he didn't close the window when he went out, and hurriedly rushed to the balcony to take off the clothes hanging on it, but it was too late, and most of the clothes were already soaked by the rain.
"It's true, when people are unlucky, they really can't stop anything, just took on a drudgery, it's ......" A faint white flame ignited in the palm of one hand, and the other hand grabbed a soaked gray ragged linen robe, carefully baked it with flames, looking at the material and size of this dress, you can know that it is Ye Chaoxiao's clothes. Bai Yanruo looked carefully while baking, he didn't know how many patches had been sewn on the sackcloth, and he didn't know how many times the dress had been torn, if it weren't for these patches, Bai Yanruo would almost not be able to make out that it was still a piece of clothing. In some places, there are still traces of blood that cannot be washed away, and the traces on the overall gray and black clothes are obvious, if Bai Yan is not a fool, although he has not heard Ye Chaoxiao talk much about his life experience, but from this dress, he can roughly guess a lot.
"Boom!"
There was a sudden burst of thunder outside the window, and all of a sudden the white smoke that was concentrating on observing the clothes was not light, and the clothes also fell to the ground, just when he picked up the Mai that fell on the ground, he suddenly saw Ye Chaoxiao, who had been lying motionless on the bed, but at this moment, his body began to tremble violently!
Bai Yanruo panicked, although he didn't believe that Ye Chaoxiao could enter the second floor, he was still worried about whether the tired state was the result of using some means that were not good for his health. Looking at Ye Chaoxiao's appearance, he put his clothes aside, and hurriedly sat down on the side of Ye Chaoxiao's bed, his fingers touched his pulse, and after a while, he made sure that Ye Chaoxiao had no problems on his body except for fatigue before relieving himself. And at this time, there was a thunder outside, and Ye Chaoxiao's body also trembled with the thunder, and Bai Yanruo realized that Ye Chaoxiao's previous tremor was not a problem with his body, but a simple fear of thunder.
Bai Yanruo was about to get up and close the curtains, but was suddenly grabbed by Ye Chaoxiao with his hand, and then heard a few vague, hesitant, and seemingly mixed with tears of whimper-
"Mom...... Why doesn't Daddy care about us anymore......"
"It hurts, why are they hitting me...... Mom...... I'm in pain."
"It's so cold, I'm so hungry, my mother's nest is so hard, how can I eat......"
"Woo.....oooooo Mom...... Woowoo...... Wake up, it's dawn......"
——
Bai Yanruo just sat there, letting Ye Chaoxiao grab his thigh and cry, his mood was very complicated, and he didn't know what to do. I don't know, he doesn't know what kind of past this child who is several years younger than himself has experienced. I don't know how long it was, at what time in the middle of the night, the rain outside the window stopped a little, Bai Yanruo stretched out his palm, gently stroked Ye Chaoxiao's head, and said softly:
"The rain has stopped, good boy, go to sleep..... When I woke up, it was dawn. ”
On this night, the inner courtyard -
In a somewhat dark and gloomy room, a burly and sturdy figure stood with his hands in his hands, as if staring at something, behind him, was a man dressed in black, with a masked face, kneeling on one knee on the ground, surrounded by a pool of rain, it was obvious that this person was taking advantage of the rainy night to touch the inner courtyard of Qizhong Temple. Although it was a rainy night, he could enter the inner courtyard without anyone noticing, which all showed the strength of the man in black.
"Are you sure?
Hearing the burly figure's question, the man in black paused for a moment and then replied respectfully:
"Yes, young master. ”
"Go back and tell the Sect Master, I will stay a little longer, in case things take a turn I still have a way out here, as for the others, they can also leave first, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties. The burly figure said in a deep voice, the dim light in the room reflected on his face as hard as a rock, the emotions contained in a pair of tiger eyes were very complex, his fists clenched and then let go and said slowly:
"Also, tell the sect master that I am willing to go to that place after this is done. ”
Hearing the words of the burly figure, the black-clothed man's pupils suddenly constricted, and after a long time, he replied tremblingly:
"Yes, young master. ”
