Lan Lan had never seen such a prosperous city, although she had been in Chenjing for several days, she was always in excitement in her heart.

"Miss, Miss, get up, we're going to go through the formalities today, Miss?" Lan Lan got up much earlier than ever today, and today her young lady was going to the Imperial Taixue Pavilion to apply for a letter of recommendation to enter Xizhi City to study.

Over the past year, Lan Lan felt like she had a wonderful dream.

When she was studying at Peak Valley Academy, she was an ugly girl who was not treated well. No matter how hard she tried, her grades were always average, and she was powerless to change the situation.

Since becoming friends with Meng Yuying five years ago, her life has begun to change.

Especially the incident a year ago, like yesterday, was deeply imprinted in Lan Lan's mind.

As Lan Lan grew, the dark red birthmark on her face grew a lot bigger.

If there is no dark red birthmark, Lan Lan may be regarded as a beautiful girl who has just grown up, and even begins to enjoy the taste of sweet love.

However, because of this birthmark, she became an ugly girl hated by everyone in the academy, with the only exception being her friend Meng Yuying, who was known as the "Iceman".

Since Meng Yuying's disappearance, the Lu family in Fenggu City took her in. She has also changed a lot because of this, and she has an expression that rejects people thousands of miles away. With the exception of a limited number of people, she is extremely cold to everyone.

One day a year ago, Fenggu College announced that it would select three outstanding students to study in Xizhi City and feel the academic atmosphere of the academic city.

Studying in Xizhi City is very attractive. If you can successfully graduate from an academy in Xizhi City, when you accept the invitation of the empire and are willing to serve it, you will be directly awarded the title of noble, and the worst is the title of viscount.

This temptation is extremely tempting for many ordinary people who have not been able to enter the aristocratic circle for the rest of their lives.

For a time, because of these three study places, there was an undercurrent surging in Fenggu Academy, but all those who had hope launched a multi-level contest through their own means, either openly or covertly.

Some people may feel that there is no hope in this competition, but they are also wise to choose to cling to those who are competitive.

At this time, the attachment is an investment in the future, and when the future allegiance object becomes a member of the empire, their status will be different from that of the later annexee, at least the status and voice will be much higher.

Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Lan Lan, and she didn't have any hope.

But after a few years of getting along with Meng Yuying, she felt that this "iceman" friend was very special, and she thought that Meng Yuying was very competitive.

However, Meng Yuying was not interested in this at all, and always looked indifferent.

Thinking of Meng Yuying's mention of her academics and her status as a friend, Lan Lan was very anxious, especially when the registration time was about to close.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and made an assertion without telling Meng Yuying to secretly register for her.

Afterwards, she found a secluded corner, gave the registration form to Meng Yuying, and tried her best to persuade her to participate in this selection.

But for some reason, Meng Yuying was still lacking in interest at this time, and she didn't take this kind of selection as a thing at all.

If something hadn't happened, maybe Meng Yuying wouldn't have paid attention to this kind of selection at all.

Hee Chi City didn't have what she wanted, and what she wanted wasn't in Hee Chi City. She turned the space ring on her finger, shook her head, comforted Lan Lan for a while, and left directly.

But not long after she left, several students passed by and saw the registration form in Lan Lan's hand, and surrounded Lan Lan and mocked endlessly.

Some people say: ugly eight weird and whimsical, others say the fantasy of two fools, etc.

Meng Yuying has never shown anything in the academy, and no one thinks that Meng Yuying has this kind of competitive qualifications.

The delusional person who is not qualified is still a woman with an ugly face. Countless sarcastic voices were like extremely sharp bayonets, and Lan Lan sat aggrievedly aggrieved.

"That's enough! Get out!" Meng Yuying suddenly turned back, originally she wanted to ask Lan Lan to go with her to see the little thatched hut, the little thatched hut with infinite memories, and she happened to see a scene.

Lan Lan has not had a good life in Fenggu Academy all the time, and people often bully her.

On this day, it was the day when Lu Yuexian disappeared for four years, and Meng Yuying, who was in a bad mood, saw Lan Lan being bullied by this, and her inexplicable hatred suddenly exploded.

Regardless of the strength of these people, the power of the black Dao gushed out directly, and a black dagger that seemed to be like nothing was directly condensed in her hand.

I saw a few black lights flashing, and a few people who were laughing at Lan Lan all fell down with their eyes like dead fish.

Meng Yuying didn't kill her, three years ago, she became an initiator at the age of fourteen, but the power of the Dao she obtained was very strange, and she was more inclined to darkness.

But Meng Yuying didn't care about this, she only knew that she had succeeded, and she also knew the way she had entered.

There used to be a strange force on the mainland, they were in the company of poison, and the way they entered was called the poison road.

Later, the people felt the terrible power of this kind of power, and they unanimously believed that this kind of way had a dry heaven and harmony, so they forbade the practice of the poisonous way.

Perhaps this prohibition has triggered the ferocity of some powerful people in the Poison Dao, who have used this dark force to cause many inhumane massacres.

This kind of terrorist act is outraged by people and gods. The mainland began to undergo a great purge of poisonous cultivators, but almost all those who cultivated poisonous dao were arrested and imprisoned.

Meng Yuying became a member of the Poison Dao, and the black blade in her hand transformed into the power of her Dao.

Although she didn't kill the few people who laughed at Lan Lan, such a domineering poisonous power was not something that these people could bear, and she would be a waste person in the future.

These people were wailing on the ground, out of fear of this domineering power, they didn't dare to curse, they just looked at these two people viciously, and at the same time, they were deeply shocked by Meng Yuying's powerful strength in their hearts.

These are the two inconspicuous oil bottles in the academy? Although that ugly girl is still as they think, this Meng Yuying is too deeply hidden.

Meng Yuying abolished several students, and the incident caused a lot of turmoil in Fenggu Academy.

Even the dean of Acropolis Min, who had not been a director for a long time, was shocked. He examined the injuries of the deposed students and felt a familiar and annoying aura.

He found Meng Yuying, and after asking a few words, he finally decided to use his relationship in Xizhi City to add an additional place to Meng Yuying among the three places.

Wei Chengmin didn't say a word about Meng Yuying's way of entry, but since then, his concern for Meng Yuying has been obvious to all, and many people in the academy even once doubted whether Meng Yuying was the illegitimate daughter of Dean Wei, who had never seen the end of the dragon.

Meng Yuying's status in Fenggu Academy has undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant, and many people think that they are outstanding in all aspects and want to be close to her, but they are all rejected by her indifferently. And she will only be different when she is to Lan Lan.

Because of this, Lan Lan's status in Peak Valley College has also undergone a wonderful change. Many people also deliberately approached Lan Lan because of Meng Yuying's relationship.

Lan Lan has a simple personality, she knows why those people are close to her, and when she is sad, she gradually adjusts her identity to the role of Meng Yuying's maid.

Some time ago, under the leadership of the academy teacher, the selected students came to Chenjing to go through the official procedures for entering the city. Lan Lan officially accompanied Meng Yuying to Chenjing as a girl.

In the past few days, Lan Lan has been very scared. She discovers that the young lady disappears every night and always returns in the early hours of the morning.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Meng Yuying's behavior made Lan Lan extremely uneasy. In order to dispel this worry as soon as possible, she has been waiting in line for the arrangement of Taixue Pavilion. Today, it was finally her turn, so she got up much earlier than before.

The city of industry, the place where the fire of industry first appeared.

Today, this small border town has withered and is sparsely populated because of the karmic fire. Occasionally, a few people appeared, and most of them were elderly people who were unwilling to endure the pain of leaving their hometowns and persevered.

After five years of advancement, the industry fire is already very close to the industry city. Standing on the city wall, you can even see the strange flames burning for some reason.

Although the speed of karmic fire is very slow, one day, karma city will burn out in this sea of fire that cannot be extinguished.

On the city walls, there are no defenders for a long time, and the empire will not arrange a garrison in such an abandoned city because of a few old men. But at this moment, there was a young man standing on the wall of Yecheng.

The young man stood with his hands in his hands, quietly watching the karmic fire for several days.

"This is the root and the beginning. A dark figure appeared out of thin air beside the young man.

"Why do you say I brought it?" the young man didn't look back, still looking at the karmic fire not far away.

"Whether it will be shattered in the burning or nirvana in the burning is unknown. The shadow did not answer the boy's question.

"I don't see the future because my time is short. The boy shook his head.

"No, it's that time is running out in this world. The dark shadow corrected.

"I'm talking about me, not the world. The boy frowned.

"Do you know why I'm taking you to see this?" the dark shadow condensed his true face.

"Do you all like to play tricks? I'm just curious about karma, especially since you claim that this karma has something to do with me. I don't care about your reasons. The young man said coldly.

"Although I am the first generation of Xuanjizi, I am now just a heroic soul who escaped from the hero's grave back then. When I made good on my promise to give life to a box, I lost my life. Unexpectedly, that person moved me to the hero's grave, and I was in distress for 28,000 years. The dark shadow sighed.

"Actually, according to my speculation, this flame must have been born 30,000 years ago. It's just that for some reason, it has been forcibly delayed to this day. The dark shadow continued.

"What is the origin of this fire?" the boy looked at the black shadow in surprise.

"The world will eventually disappear in this fire. The dark shadow affirmed.

"That's what you calculated?" the boy dissatisfied.

"No, it's the result of being delayed for 30,000 years, and it's the result of you. The dark shadow corrected.

"What does this have to do with me, I don't have much time to do, don't you think it's ridiculous?" said the young man with a slight anger.

"You're wrong again, you're not running out of time, it's just a countdown. The shadow corrected again.
