Chapter 27: Duel

Even after the Men in Black incident last night, the "Human Spell Exchange Conference" went on time and as planned. Most of the students of Suzaku Academy are in charge of the security work of the conference, and although the four major academies have also sent personnel to assist in the management, most of them are patrolling the perimeter to check for suspicions. A small number of members are preparing for today's competition, and a very small number of people are busy with time and the allocation of participants.

In the corridor not far from the test bench, Luo Tianyi's voice was spreading. "Spell exchange, simply put, is to build a fair and open platform for the public to allow spell practitioners from all sides to freely conduct a duel, in this conference any spell cultivator can choose any contestant as their opponent, generally a contest between fledgling novices, and there are still very few rookies who choose to challenge their long-established predecessors. In other words, if you can win this matchup, your reputation and status will be greatly improved, and it will be a good opportunity for newcomers who are participating for the first time to become famous. Luo Tianyi's speech was vivid, which made Mo Yu sigh again: the three of them missed this great opportunity. Luo Tianyi then introduced to Mo Yu, "But it's just that most people will choose the former, and most of the novices who are not deeply involved in the world will not choose to challenge their predecessors, because the seniors who have been famous for a long time are more familiar with the level skills and actual combat experience, and it is not easy to surpass them." If it doesn't work, then how can you mix in the industry in the future, for the sake of insurance, no one dares to challenge the old-timers. "Between the two aspects of strength and face, I guess no one would choose to challenge their predecessors so stupidly. Mo Yu bluntly told Luo Tianyi his guess. "That's not necessarily mysterious, there are some prominent dark horses at this time of year, not to mention that there are so many people this year. Have you seen the head of the Pei family on the VIP stage? I think he was given the title of "Standing God" by people back then," Luo Tianyi said with a respectful face. "Who is the head of the Pei family?" Mo Yu couldn't help but ask, he really didn't know what the four famous family masters looked like. Luo Tianyi pointed his finger at an old man with a white beard on the VIP stage, who looked listless, and did not want the excellent wisdom that was legendary in the outside world. Mo Yu thought to himself that maybe people can't be good-looking, but they were able to be named "standing gods" by everyone back then. was challenged by a bunch of people, but has not been defeated, "The strength must not be underestimated." "If it weren't for Pei Xiuzhi, the head of the Pei family, who became famous in the first battle, maybe the Pei family would not have been able to gain a foothold in the four major families, but unfortunately he is already old," Luo Tianyi sighed with great regret.

Mo Yu looked at his cousin, who was used to joking, and was so serious at this moment, Mo Yu felt ashamed in his heart, because of his previous contempt for the white-bearded old man. At this time, Luo Tianyi and Mo Yu were chatting, and the three of them secretly hid in the small corridor next to the platform, chatting sneakily. "Momo, you hide inside. What if someone finds out?" Luo Tianyi whispered to Mo Zixiu. Mo Yu saw that Mo Zixiu was exposed to the sun openly, and he was not worried at all that he would be found out that he had left his post without permission. On the other hand, Luo Tianyi looked like a thief, hiding behind the flower pot shelf, squatting on the ground, cautious. It's a pity that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Luo Tianyi prayed bitterly not to be discovered, but he was discovered by the most undiscoverable person.

"Young master, what are you doing?" Madam, you see where the young master is", the vice president and the old man enthusiastically helped Luo Wanyao and pointed to Luo Tianyi's position. Luo Tianyi had an expression of being finished, so he had to walk out obediently by himself. Mo Yu saw a noble lady, although he had seen his high-ranking aunt before, goodbye was still a serious and unapproachable expression. Don't talk about Luo Tianyi, Mo Yu felt that he was oppressed by that kind of prestige. Mo Yu sighed in his heart: It's really stressful to have such a mother, no wonder Luo Tianyi has some two faces, he is dissolute and uninhibited externally, and humorous internally, so he should be very tired of pretending. "Why are you here, you don't have a job, since you are so idle, go outside to patrol around", Luo Wanyao seriously instructed Luo Tianyi to carry out the patrol task, and Luo Tianyi had to obediently go out on patrol. Luo Tianyi made a helpless expression at Mo Yu before leaving, and let Mo Yu ask for more blessings. Luo Wanyao looked at Mo Zixiu, and then at Mo Yu, this look made him think of a perfect defense and couldn't say it anymore, it was a heavy sense of oppression of strength. "You are my sister's son, Mo Yu, who has grown so big. Is your mother okay?" Mo Yu felt that this aunt's tone was a little soothing when she mentioned her own mother-in-law. After all, they are sisters, Mo Yu thought to himself. Mo Yu hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, my mother's health is very good, and my mother often mentions you", and his tone was extremely respectful. "Really, doesn't Yun'er hold a grudge against her sister?" Luo Wanyao said with a sigh, as if she was deep in thought. "Madam, it's time," the vice president next to him reminded Luo Wanyao. Pulled her back from her memory, "Bring a good one for your mother for me", Luo Wanyao said to Mo Yu. After that, he left in a hurry. Mo Yu looked at Luo Wanyun's distant back, breathed a sigh of relief and landed the stone in his heart, and finally passed, fortunately he didn't ask him why he was here.

Mo Yu asked Mo Zixiu: "Do we still want to watch here?" Or do we go to fulfill the duty and go on patrol again?" "Leave", Mo Zixiu gave the order succinctly. When Mo Zixiu and the two were about to leave, they were stopped by a strange man, who said that someone invited Mo Zixiu to meet. Mo Yu only vaguely heard words such as "imperial capital" and "princess", according to Mo Yu's speculation, he must be a big man, because the aura of one of his subordinates is so powerful. Mo Yu said to Mo Zixiu beside him, "I can protect myself by myself, besides, it's broad daylight, maybe I can find my cousin later." Mo Yu's words and the beginning of the invitation, and finally Mo Yu went on patrol alone.

Mo Yu turned around several times, but he didn't find Luo Tianyi's shadow, Mo Yu guessed: This cousin doesn't know where to run to be lazy. Suzaku Academy covers an area the size of thirty acres of land, and it is not easy to really make a trip. Mo Yu braved the scorching sun and started his work, and saw many checkpoints along the way to check the identities of the people entering the field, and he thought to himself that with such strict precautions, it was impossible to give the enemy a chance to invade. Mo Yu seemed to see a familiar back, Mo Yu thought it was too hot and his eyes were dazzled, so he didn't pay much attention to it. In the afternoon, Mo Zixiu had not returned, Luo Tianyi was nowhere to be found, and Mo Yu was returning to sleep after a day of shifting. Mo Yu walked on the path in a daze and found Bing Xuan, when he was in the Treasure Pavilion before, Mo Yu thought he had seen it wrong, and it turned out that he was still in the academy and did not return to his hometown. But why did it suddenly appear when the conference was held, the more Mo Yu thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he quickened his pace and followed. But the person in front seemed to have noticed that someone was following behind and quickened his pace. Mo Yu tried to follow behind, he was also afraid of what would happen if it was a bad person, but he felt that after all, they were cultivators who were sympathetic to the same disease, and the perpetrators generally did not choose daytime.

Mo Yu didn't know how long he followed, he came to a forest, and suddenly the person in front of him disappeared. Just as he was about to turn around, Mo Yu found that the house where the event was held was on fire, and for a while the sky was full of flames, as if it was an explosion caused by insects falling from the sky. Mo Yu had a premonition that there was danger, but it was already a step too late, he felt that his eyes were becoming dark, his consciousness was gradually blurred, and finally he fainted on the ground. When he woke up, he found that he was tied to a tree, and the person who was with Bingxuan in front of him made Mo Yu almost faint in fright.
