At this moment, there was a sudden dead silence around them, time seemed to have frozen, and people's faces were full of surprise, as if even their thoughts had stopped, and they couldn't imagine what was going to happen.

The ancient and elegant lines on the body of the "Twin Flowers" spear are lit up one after another, outlining a beautiful double-petaled flower, the inner layer is as white as frost, and the outer layer is scarlet like blood. The muzzle of the gun shone with a flood of Force light, and then an Force bullet slowly flew out and flew towards Lu Shenjiang's forehead, making his shocked expression freeze.

A red and white flower bloomed in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's time to go this time. Qianye put away the gun, said hello to Ji Yuanjia casually, turned around and left.

Even Ji Yuanjia said in disbelief: "You, really killed him?"

Qianye said lightly: "He should die twice." I'm never joking about this kind of thing. ”

Ji Yuanjia took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Qianye to start walking out, if he intentionally or unintentionally lagged half a shoulder behind Qianye, the small sword in his right hand was half a foot and a half with a soft groan.

When he stepped out of the threshold, Ji Yuanjia turned his head and met Ye Mulan's gaze very calmly. The latter stood high on the steps, having regained his cold and haughty posture, but his beautiful and flawless face seemed to have a slightly dull mask. Ji Yuanjia then strode away, and Qianye never looked back.

Looking at the figures of Qianye and Ji Yuanjia leaving, the young people who had just run to the side were all stunned, and no one screamed loudly until the off-road vehicle in which the two of them were riding completely disappeared from view.

Ye Mulan said coldly: "The untouchables actually dare to openly kill the Shi clan! I must find justice for this matter!"

A group of young scholars responded one after another, but most of them turned gloomy uncontrollably. Ji Yuanjia behaved unexpectedly tough when he left, and put on a posture of not hesitating to fight, which actually foreshadowed the outcome of this matter.

Such clashes occur every day in all corners of the city, and the strongest and most effective way to do this is to kill the opponent on the spot. Want to go through the official procedure to find "justice"? This kind of thing will take several years, and I don't know if there will be a result. In the final analysis, in the eyes of the big people, there is not much difference between the scholars, the poor family, and the commoners, and there are never very few special existences.

On the return car, Ji Yuanjia suddenly said, "I'm sorry." ”

"Don't say that. ”

Ji Yuanjia sighed: "No, I still have to say it! I really didn't have the courage at that time. If he hadn't had scruples and concessions to Ye Mulan from the beginning, he wouldn't have let Qianye be forced into the dueling arena. The other party came prepared, the level, exercises, and equipment were all carefully planned, if it weren't for Qianye's combat power that was beyond everyone's imagination, then it would be Qianye who would be seriously injured or even killed in the dueling arena.

Qianye patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I have courage because I have nothing." You're different, you still have family. ”

Ji Yuanjia sighed and said hatefully: "These damn scholars!"

Qianye smiled faintly and said, "That's probably how they are." ”

Ji Yuanjia remembered something and asked, "What's the matter with that marquis?"

"Nothing, it's the vampire Marquis Rose. I killed one of his descendants and snatched two guns that were said to be his former fame. This matter must not be hidden, so he will send someone to hunt him down. It's just that I didn't expect it to come so quickly, or through the hands of these scholars. ”

Ji Yuanjia suddenly gasped: "Marquis Rose! hell, that's an old monster who has lived for almost a thousand years! But his main territory is in the area of Dark Blood City, and it is still a little far from here. So what are you going to do now, find a way to sell those two guns?"

Qianye said leisurely: "No, I'm going to use that pair of guns, I tried it just now and it feels good, although it's been a long time, but it's still quite easy to use." ”

Ji Yuanjia was shocked and said: "You are crazy! You are blatantly provoking! Provoking a blood clan marquis!"

"I've never been more awake than I am now. Chiya replied.

Ji Yuanjia was speechless, if he was on other battlefields, it would be nothing if Qianye did this. No matter how powerful the Marquis of the Blood Clan was, he didn't dare to rush into the human camp alone to kill Thousand Nights. Moreover, this kind of thing is only a trivial matter at the level of Marquis Ross.

However, this is the Eternal Night Continent, a place where the human race and the dark race penetrate and entangle each other. No one can say how much there is to trade between the expeditionary force and the dark races, and how deep the water is. As long as Marquis Ross issues a sufficient reward, then there are people who want to cut off Qianye's head, just like Lu Shenjiang did.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to go to the front line, get acquainted with the 131st Company, and then start fighting against the dark race, Miss Kiki's assessment should earn some points. ”

Ji Yuanjia frowned and said, "The battles here are more frequent than those on the Rock Leader's side, and the combat power of the dark race is also stronger. ”

"It's better to face a powerful enemy head-on than to be on the lookout for a knife from behind. ”

Ji Yuanjia smiled bitterly: "Your idea is still too naïve. It's not that if you're on the front line, you're not framed. He paused, and said bluntly: "Your level is still not high enough, you will face many powerful dark races on the company-level front, and they will not have any fair duels with you." Miss Kiki originally wanted you to go to level 5 and then go to the front. ”

Qianye suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, killing is not the same as a duel, and people who can't win a fight are not unkilling. ”

Ji Yuanjia thought for a while, exhaled a breath, and said, "Okay, anyway, you are careful in everything, reconnoiter more before you act, and reserve a way to retreat." Also, it's a good idea to contact me before you take a big action, and I might be able to get some support for you. ”

"Didn't Miss Kiki bring only one battalion of regular troops this time? Now that you have given me a reinforced company, what else do you have to support me?"

"A battalion of the Seventeenth Army Corps is just a regular force that the Yin family has configured for the assessment and uniformity. I was in charge of the recruitment of Miss Kiki's private army, and now there are almost 1,000 people, and the training has not stopped. They have a good foundation, and they can go directly to the battlefield with some cooperation training. ”

Qianye nodded and said, "Okay, I remember, if you really need it, I will definitely look for you." ”

After returning to the Yin family's courtyard, Qianye began to pack her luggage and equipment. The 131st Reinforced Company is stationed in a small town hundreds of kilometers away, and that area is the real front line against the dark race.

When Qianye was busy in the room, Kiki didn't even report it and walked directly into the bedroom. She looked at the half-finished equipment of Qianye and said, "It's going to be a battle so soon?"

"Go there early to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible. ”

Qiqi picked up the pair of blood clan short guns and played with them, and said, "I have heard about today's incident, you have done a good job, and you are very much in line with my heart! She raised her two guns and pointed at the blood clan in a war oil painting on the wall to make an aiming gesture, and then said, "This woman is even more annoying than Song Zining's sinister and cunning guy!"

Qianye was choked for a moment, and began to think about whether Song Zining of Huangquan had anything to do with these four-character comments, and then he realized that he was distracted, and immediately said, "Won't killing her cause trouble for you?"

Kiki said nonchalantly, "It's just a little trouble, and in fact I can't have more trouble." If you kill her, Song Valve will naturally change Song Zining to a fiancée. It's just that they need to pursue the matter for the sake of face. ”

Qianye said honestly: "Ye Mulan's secret technique is very useful, although I won, I may not be able to kill her." ”

Kiki glanced at him, obviously annoyed by Qianye's too honest answer, and said, "These two guns are good, give them to me?"

Qianye shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to use it myself." ”

"Tsk, you're blatantly provoking that marquis! Although he doesn't bother to deal with you personally, those descendants must kill you!"

"Then let them come!"

Kiki put the guns down and said, "You're crazier than I thought." Well, don't die, or where will I find such a beautiful little lover?"

The next day, Qiqi directly sent her own private airship to send Qianye to her destination, and Ji Yuanjia accompanied her.

On the airship, Qianye finally asked a question that he had been unable to understand for the past two days: "Why would a family like the Yin family and the Song family marry the Shi family?"

"That's right"

It turns out that in order to attract talents and maintain the vitality of the family bloodline, the gate valve family will designate a group of people from each generation of young children to marry the scholars. Whether male or female, the result of this marriage is the integration of the gentry into the family of the gatekeepers. That is to say, Gu Liyu and Ye Mulan will be from the Yin family and the Song family respectively in the future.

Only the best young men of the clan would have such an opportunity. Even if they enter the door of the family, they will take care of the original family. This is also an opportunity for the rise and take-off of the scholars. As for the gate valve family, it can continuously absorb the most outstanding young people of the scholar clan into their own family, maintain their status as a whole, and at the same time potentially suppress the development of the noble clan.

Yin Qiqi and Song Zining were designated by the family as the object of marriage with the Shi clan when they were very young, generally speaking, between the ages of six and eight, this is the age at which the children of the family begin to cultivate the Force, and it is determined after a series of potential tests, family background, and blood relationship screening. The objects used for marriage are, of course, those who are on the fringes of the lineage.

It's just that Yin Qiqi and Song Zining are rare exceptions, not only are their personal strength getting better and better as adults, but their status in the family is also becoming more and more important. That's why Gu Liyu and Ye Mulan attach so much importance to the marriage contract, and they must ensure that the marriage contract is fulfilled no matter what the price is.

Qianye suddenly thought of a question, the major families, especially the top ones, have quite mature potential tests, why would there be such a big deviation? and from young children to adults, there should be many opportunities to correct them. As soon as he asked, he saw Ji Yuanjia's expression and immediately understood.

Within the Song family and the Yin family, I am afraid that there are many people who want to see the marriage contract confirmed for various purposes. Although Yin Qiqi was extremely dissatisfied with the family's arrangement, she couldn't get the Yin family to withdraw from the marriage, so she had to force Gu Liyu to take the initiative to give up, but her methods were really a little speechless.

It was only then that Qianye understood the ins and outs of the whole thing. However, even if he knew the Dao in advance, it didn't make a difference, when he joined this mission, he was destined to offend Gu Liyu to death. It's just that Qianye's style of trying to do her best work has made some things work beyond the expectations of Yin Qiqi, the initiator, and her staff.

A few hours later, the airship slowly landed in the town of Zhongying. It is a small town with thousands of people who live mainly on a nearby blackstone mine. Most of the town's inhabitants are from the mines.
