The so-called Academy Exchange Tournament is a diplomatic activity jointly organized by colleges across the continent that is ostensibly friendship, but is actually a kind of diplomatic activity for the Beiqiu Kingdom to deter other countries.

The top three in every college exchange competition are almost all won by the colleges of Beiqiu, and the first college funded by the Beiqiu royal fund is the most. Just by listening to the name, you can see the conceit of the other party. And the First Academy lives up to its reputation, and there are many demons in it, no less than the Royal Academy. Not to mention that there are two other academies that are on par with the Royal Academy, and it is not for nothing that Beiqiu's strength is stronger than other countries.

In the past 100 years, only ten years ago, Rong Yuan participated in the student exchange competition and won the first place, which is really amazing. Other times, most of them are full of ambition and return home. was abused to death by the students of Beiqiu.

"But this year, Beiqiu wants to give other countries another dismount, so they don't have this chance. Rong Yuan looked at Gu Lingzhi, with pride in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "With you and Nie Sang, that demon, no matter how rich the teachers in Beiqiu are, they will fall under your talents." ”

"Me?" Gu Lingzhi blinked: "Didn't you say that there can only be three places for each level?"

Rong Yuan snorted disdainfully: "Your Highness's people, why do you still need to be selected?"

Well, it's good to cool off under the big tree. Finding a fiancé with a strong background can still work well at some point.

Before he knew about this matter, Gu Lingzhi had never found out that after learning that there was a student exchange competition, it seemed that the entire academy was rumored about this matter. Within two days, the competition for the quota of the exchange competition also came out.

After seven days of selection, Tianfeng Jin and Xin Yi became the players who went to Beiqiu to participate in the student exchange spirit race.

On the day of the end of the selection, Gu Lingzhi went to the trial tower that had been missed for several months, and it took three hours to pass all the trials of the spirit level, and his name was printed on the first place of the spirit level trial stone tablet. The opposition to her qualifying to compete in Beiqiu without selection was suppressed with absolute strength.

It is worth mentioning that on the list of students who participated in the exchange competition, Gu Lingzhi also saw several familiar names.

On the list of spirit disciples, Gu Lingzhi saw Su Nian. At the spirit master level, they are Nie Sang, Yan Liang and Lang Jingchen.

It's really fate everywhere in life. Looking at those familiar names, Gu Lingzhi touched a handful of cold sweat that didn't exist. Thinking of Rong Yuan, who volunteered to lead the team, he was full of worries about this trip. It really won't ...... Did they fight within themselves before the game?

"Don't worry, they don't dare mess around. Seeing Gu Lingzhi's speechlessness, Rong Yuan said leisurely: "It's about the honor of Xia Guo, if they dare to fight during the competition, they have a heart of treason." ”

Gu Lingzhi's non-existent cold sweat dripped when he heard this. Just the internal strife has escalated to the political issue of treason, can this communiqué personal vendetta be more obvious?

As for the people sent by the Beiqiu Kingdom to kill her, under the protection of the three princes, they escaped several attacks without danger. Gu Lingzhi simply didn't come forward. found someone to stay in the dormitory instead of his identity as a black thorn, and acted as Gu Lingzhi.

Rong Yuan had already informed her about the few black-clothed men who attacked her last time. In addition to regretting that he couldn't ask anything substantial, Gu Lingzhi was also a little afraid. If it weren't for Pan Yue's early alarm, she would have taken precautions again, would she still think it was just an accident after being attacked, and continue to walk around as a black thorn until her identity as a spirit race was completely exposed, or would she simply die in an assassination?

"It's time for a month's exchange students, right? Xiao Wu should be going back, right?"

Thanks to the contact during this time, Gu Lingzhi now calls Pan Yue Xiao Wu in private.

Hearing her ask about this, the corners of Rong Yuan's eyes jumped suddenly, and his expression became quite weird.

“...... What's wrong?Could it be that guy made some jokes again?"

"I was about to tell you that the second prince of Beiqiu Kingdom is here, and the rhetoric on the surface is to take Xiao Wu back. ”

"The second prince of Beiqiu?" Gu Lingzhi was slightly surprised: "Xiao Wu still has such a big face, do you want the second prince, who is also a prince, to pick him up?"

So, it's a rhetoric on the surface. Rong Yuan's face straightened: "I suspect that the real purpose of his coming here is for you." ”

"For me?" Gu Lingzhi was stunned for a moment and understood what the other party meant: "You mean, the person who attacked me last time was sent by the second prince?"

"Yes, according to the news found by the spies, the second prince of Beiqiu, Paine, arrived in the capital more than half a month ago, but he only appeared today. He arranged all the attacks you had before. Speaking of this, Rong Yuan's eyes were clouded.

As early as when the men in black committed suicide, he got the news that Paine had also arrived in the capital. The news from his followers confirmed his thoughts. If he hadn't locked the culprit early on, how could his people have appeared at the right time to relieve Gu Lingzhi every time she was attacked?

Pity...... This man can't be killed. At least Paine can't be allowed to have an accident on the land of the Xia Kingdom, otherwise the other party will definitely think of Gu Lingzhi and confirm her identity as a spirit clan. Now their only advantage is that the other party is not sure of Gu Lingzhi's identity at all, and they only start chasing and killing with the mentality that they would rather kill than let go.

If Paine had an accident in the Xia Kingdom, no matter how uncertain it was, it would definitely be a never-ending situation. It is said that Paine is the next heir to the lord of the North Hill.

Feeling the gloom of Rong Yuan's mood for a moment, Gu Lingzhi squeezed the other party's hand soothingly, and changed the topic: "Anyway, with your people protecting me, nothing will happen to me." It's Pan Yue, what did he do to make your face change?"

Holding Gu Lingzhi's hand back, Rong Yuan was very useful for her rare initiative to show affection, and put Paine's matter aside for the time being. Thinking of what he had seen before, the corners of Rong Yuan's mouth twitched.

"You didn't see it when you went to the alchemy area today, in order not to go back with Paine, Pan Yue simply lost his face at all, and directly hugged Pan Yue's thigh and cried on the way to the Royal Academy. Beg him to let him play here for a few more days. Go with the students of the Royal Academy to North Hill. ”

"......" In addition to being speechless, Gu Lingzhi no longer knew what words to use to express his mood at the moment.

But obviously Pan Yue's trick is very effective, Pan En is deeply favored by the emperor and is designated as the next lord of the country, so naturally he can't afford to lose this face. After Pan Yue cried for less than half an hour, he agreed to his request with a black face, and he also lived in the dormitory building next door to Pan. It's not far from their building.

"Hopefully he'll take the opportunity to take advantage of his stay at the Royal Academy, and I'll be able to teach him a lesson in the open. Rong Yuan said compassionately.

Gu Lingzhi looked at the sky silently. Do you think people are fools at the Royal Academy? There are demigods here. Even if he is the second prince of Beiqiu and makes small moves in front of the demigods, then he has to ask the demigods if they are willing.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to head to North Hill.

The night before leaving, Pan Yue made an appointment with Gu Lingzhi. With a gloomy face, he asked her, "Why aren't you among the people who go to the North Hill race?"

Gu Lingzhi didn't rush to reply, but found a place to sit down, and then said slowly: "Didn't you say that as long as I get to Beiqiu, I will have a way to wash away my suspicions about the Spirit Clan? In that case, what does it matter if I participate in the competition or not? As long as I don't go over?"

Pan Yue was stunned: "You mean, the third prince will take you to the competition?"

After Gu Lingzhi was attacked, he suddenly surrendered to Rong Yuan and was protected by the other party. The explanation given by Gu Lingzhi was that he had been kind to "Gu Lingzhi" and gave a cleansing elixir to the other party, so that the three princes would treat her so kindly.

But what is the truth, Gu Lingzhi doesn't plan to say it, and Pan Yue doesn't have any intention of delving into it, after all, the two don't have a deep relationship, and he doesn't have the right to ask too much. Moreover, from a certain point of view, being able to be protected by Rong Yuan will make him less stressful.

"Naturally, I'm already loyal to him. Gu Lingzhi seemed to smile: "It's you, in order to continue to stay in the Xia Kingdom, the sacrifice is really not small." ”

Don't think she doesn't know, since the beginning of this month, a young and handsome boy brother has suddenly appeared in the capital, and he has met Qin Xinran several times unexpectedly, and he is stalking each other. The time when that person appeared every time happened to be when Pan Yue hid in the dormitory and didn't see anyone. What a coincidence.

Hearing this, Pan Yue's face instantly stiffened, and a flush climbed onto the other party's ears at a very fast speed, and quickly spread to the root of the ear, and then to the neck.

"Poofhahahaha......" Gu Lingzhi laughed unceremoniously.

Pan Yue glared at her angrily: "Don't think I don't know about the relationship between you and the third prince, if the eldest lady of the Gu family knows about this, I'm afraid she won't let you live in the dormitory anymore, right?"

"Do you want to make a bet?" Gu Lingzhi hooked his fingers: "If Lingzhi knows about this, and I still live with them, how about you dance a dance in front of Xinran?"

Threat, definitely threat!

Pan Yue was stunned for a moment, knowing that the other party had discovered that he was pursuing Qin Xinran by concealing his identity. I hate it.

"I hope you can still laugh when the deeds fail!"

After saying this, Pan Yue strode away without looking back, looking at the footsteps, they were still a little messy. It seems that what he really does, in his own eyes, is an indelible stain.

The next day, the mountain behind the Royal Academy. A group of students who were ready to go, after Rong Yuan's order, climbed up to the griffin beast more than three meters tall beside them, and the target was ...... North Hill First College.
