The sky is an endless darkness.

In the first half of the night, you can still see the bright stars in the deep blue night. At this moment, it was completely dark, and there was not even a trace of moonlight. Heavy dark clouds were layered over, as if in the next moment, the entire sky would collapse.

Lin Youzhi looked at the sky outside and lit a lantern.

The lantern is exquisitely carved, and the outside is painted with snow-capped silk silk, and when the lights are lit, the whole lantern looks crystal clear. The room has a festive atmosphere.

"It's beautiful. A man's admiration rang out in the back, with a warm smile.

Let Mr. Su smile. Lin Youzhi turned to look back at him, and said helplessly, "In gluttony, I'm afraid there is only one person who needs to light a lamp when traveling at night, and I can only buy this kind of untimely lantern." ”

Su Xuanqing listened patiently to what she said, and then explained with a smile: "Actually, I'm not talking about lanterns. It's Miss Lin. ”

Lin Youzhi was stunned, the strength of her hand unconsciously loosened, and the lantern slipped from her fingers.

The lantern did not fall to the ground, but was fixed in the air by Su Xuanqing. He approached with a smile, handed the slender and smooth Nanmu handle back to Lin Youzhi, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. I will definitely help you. ”

Lin Youzhi lowered his head and took it, silent.

The light in the silent room was soft, reflecting her hair, revealing a warm golden glow. Su Xuanqing slowly raised his hand as if he had been bewitched.

Just as his fingers were about to touch her cheek, Lin Youzhi took a few steps back, raised his head and sneered: "Does Mr. Su think that I am really similar to the dean?"

"Youzhi!" As if in a hurry, Su Xuanqing blurted out her name, "I never—"

However, Su Xuanqing's voice stopped abruptly, an abnormal dark red welled up on his face, and he turned around in a hurry, coughing in a suppressed and violent manner.

Lin Youzhi quietly watched Su Xuanqing's back holding the corner of the table, and no one could guess what she was thinking at the moment.

After a long time, Su Xuanqing's breath finally recovered and eased, and she sighed: "Miss Lin, it was my rudeness. ”

As if the previous conversation had never existed, Lin Youzhi gently persuaded: "The dean is only a minor injury, Mr. Su doesn't have to worry too much." When the dean comes out of retreat, there will definitely be progress in cultivation. ”

Su Xuanqing's face was vaguely paler, but he could only nod wordlessly.

Lin Youzhi smiled slightly and said, "The dean mentioned before that Miss Youque had escorted the two of them to the lost lock, I think it's been too long. Please also ask Mr. Su to go with Youzhitong to ensure that the lock is safe. ”

......

The door of the palace to the south opened, and out of it came a man and a woman. The people who were waiting outside threw their eyes at the same time.

What they cared about was the man, Su Xuanqing. He and Nanlin are Taoist couples who love each other, which is a well-known thing in the Black Triangle.

Su Xuanqing is indeed a handsome and fairy-like figure, but unfortunately because of physical reasons, he is weaker among men, and he has an indisputable temperament, and his cultivation is far inferior to Nan Lin - such a man is generally criticized when he is with Nan Lin.

But not for Su Xuanqing.

Su Xuanqing is the most outstanding formation master in the entire Black Triangle, and no one can match him. The most important formations in the Gluttonous Martial Academy, except for the misty lock, were all from Su Xuanqing's hands.

This kind of person who has enough ability and is extremely trusted by Nanlin, even if he does not show his majesty, will be treated with the utmost respect by all of Nanlin's subordinates.

At this time, before Su Xuanqing really approached, the people hidden in the darkness appeared one after another, and they all saluted: "I've seen Mr. Su." ”

As for the young woman who came with her, the attitudes of the crowd varied. Some people put disgust and disdain directly on their faces, some people just thought they didn't see it, and of course, some people greeted each other with a smile and called "Miss Lin".

Lin Youzhi has not been gluttonous for a long time, but he is already a celebrity.

A beautiful and intelligent woman is usually endearing, but a woman who is too beautiful and too intelligent may be the opposite. If there is another "cultivation to be low", then she will definitely need to use her traits more to achieve her goals, and then she will have even more mixed reputations.

However, at this moment, it is impossible to ignore her presence, whether people genuinely welcome her or not.

Because Lin Youzhi was the only person he wanted to see by name before Nanlin's retreat.

Such a sentence is always unavoidable: "Miss Lin, did the dean leave any instructions before the retreat?"

"Just let me explain it on your behalf, right?" Su Xuanqing smiled and took the question.

Under the questioning eyes of everyone, he and Lin Youzhi glanced at each other, and only after obtaining her nod of approval did he continue: "The dean has an order - during her retreat, the whole hospital is temporarily at the disposal of Miss Lin, including me. ”

There was a dead silence.

After a while, a middle-aged woman laughed dryly first and said, "Mr. Su is really good at laughing." ”

At this time, people barely returned to their normal expressions, and they echoed the middle-aged woman's words.

Su Xuanqing didn't seem to hear what they meant at all, and said meticulously: "This is not a joke, but the original words of the dean." Execute it from now on. ”

Chilled again.

It's not good for people to directly confront Su Xuanqing, but they don't pay much attention to Lin Youzhi - someone said sternly at the moment: "Lin Youzhi, don't you deny it? When will you deceive Mr. Su?"

Lin Youzhi said in a calm tone: "This is the truth. ”

The disgust on the middle-aged woman's face was even stronger, and she sneered: "Then the dean really trusts you enough, just use a word that no one has ever heard." ”

Lin Youzhi looked around and said calmly: "The dean has always valued you, so naturally he will not have just a simple sentence. She took out a jade token that was as black as ink, "The dean will give this thing to me for safekeeping." ”

Staring at the ink-colored jade order, many people's faces changed again - they thought it was just a symbol of Nanlin's own identity, but how could they have imagined that it was actually the only dean order of the Gluttonous Martial Academy?!

Even if Lin Youzhi has always been highly used by Nanlin, but she is in charge of the entire Gluttonous Martial Academy?

Ridiculous!

-- No matter how heavy the prestige of Nanlin is, this is the only thought left in everyone's hearts.

Lin Youzhi enjoyed this embarrassing atmosphere full of complicated emotions for a moment, smiled slightly, and his voice turned soft, "The reason why the dean has made such a decision is only because I am the only person who knows about a few things except the dean, just in case. You are all seniors, how can you be disrespectful?"

Hearing these words, everyone's faces finally softened a little. If it weren't for the fact that they knew that Nanlin was only in retreat temporarily, and that the token could not be faked, they would have turned around and left, where would they have the patience to slowly negotiate with her here? It was really good that she could say that now - they could not really follow her instructions in the first place. Now there are steps down, and everyone looks good.

Their thoughts were not concealed in the first place, how could Lin Youzhi not see it, but this was naturally expected by her.

There was no trace of an unpredictable smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said solemnly: "At the same time, the dean asked me to convey a secret order, which is in ciphertext that you are familiar with. Although I do not know the exact content of the secret order, the dean has repeatedly explained that it is extremely important, and I ask you not to delay the dean's arrangement because of me. ”

Everyone lifted their spirits slightly, and Su Xuanqing turned away to avoid suspicion - for some reason, he never interfered in the internal affairs of the Martial Academy.

"Look, everybody. ”

Lin Youzhi crushed a small scroll - it turned into a little starlight rising in front of people's eyes at the moment of shattering, and soon condensed into a line of words composed entirely of dots.

It's a word.

And when the meaning of this sentence was discerned, everyone's faces suddenly became strange.

Someone immediately said, "Miss Lin, it seems that I misunderstood you before." Now I believe that you did convey exactly what the dean meant. ”

The middle-aged woman was also amiable: "You can rest assured that we will definitely not delay the execution of this secret order for some reason." ”

"Then thank you for your understanding. Lin Youzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Su and I are about to go to the lock for inspection, so I won't bother the division commanders." ”

"We'll go with us. The middle-aged woman quickly spoke, and added, "This is also the meaning of the dean's secret order." ”

Everyone exchanged glances, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Is that so?"

In their unpredictable gazes, Lin Youzhi nodded and smiled, "Then it's hard for everyone." ”

She made a "please" gesture to Su Xuanqing, and the two of them walked slowly towards the place where the lock was fascinating.

In the cool night breeze, Lin Youzhi was thinking about Nanlin's last conversation with her before leaving-

"You don't have to think about this road. No matter what the content of the secret is, as long as it is taken out of your hand, they will not be able to believe it, let alone work hard. Nan Lin disdainfully rejects this absurd method that is useless. "That thing, as long as they don't give their best because of you, they will never succeed. ”

In the face of these three consecutive "impossible", Lin Youzhi smiled, "Not necessarily." ”

Nan Lin said: "Oh?"

"If I had personally conveyed the secret order to put me to death, they would not have the slightest suspicion, let alone the slightest resistance. ”
