Do you want to work with the best of the new generation of disciples of the Luo family...... Sounds pretty good, too.

Luo Qingqing is not only capable, but also good-looking, with such an outstanding woman by her side, the future work must be particularly interesting, right?

"Hey, what are you smirking at?" a disgusted voice interrupted Xia Fan's thoughts.

"Uh," he said, scooping up a spoonful of broth and bringing it to the kitsune's mouth, "I'm thinking about the future...... I wonder what you think of Gyeonggi?"

Under the leadership of the "Yan Brother", who was born in Orion, not only brought back more than 10 hare roe deer, but also luckily caught a pair of mountain deer, and continued the dinner of more than 100 candidates. This bowl of venison minced soup was also specially prepared by him for the fox demon in the recovery period. Considering that the other party was unable to move and it was easy to tear the wound if he fed himself, he ignored Li's protest and simply fed the other party one bite at a time.

The fox demon grinned after touching the spoon, looking like it was burned.

"Ah...... I'm sorry," Xia Fan took it back and blew it again when he saw this, "It should be okay now." ”

Who knew that Li looked at him with even more strange eyes, as if he was looking at an abnormal person. After a while, she slowly drank the broth, "Why did you suddenly ask about Shangyuan?"

Sangwon Fortress is the capital of Qiguo, and it is also the location of Gyeonggi in people's mouths.

"It's nothing, I just wonder what will happen if I go there in the future. Xia Fan stirred the minced meat in the bowl, "Someone told me that the candidates who rank first in the taxi examination will be assigned to the Privy Council in Gyeonggi, but as the royal capital, there should be very few evil phenomena there, right?

"I haven't been there, but I heard from Master that Shangyuan seems to be magnificent and prosperous, but secretly it is full of dangers, and all the monks who can take root there are not simple. ”

"Dangerous?" Xia Fan said in surprise.

"You don't think that the Privy Council is specifically designed to deal with evil spirits, do you?" said Li with a sarcastic smile that seemed familiar—Xia Fan vaguely remembered that she had the same smile when she mentioned that 'the Privy Council is far more terrible than you think'. "That's right, there are no mass graves in big cities, and the order is much better than in small places, but as a place where the power of the Great Apocalypse is concentrated, how can Shangyuan be calm? According to my master, there are not only many monks there, but also many capable people from other places, such as seekers who have traveled across the sea, missionaries from the West Pole, and visiting missions from neighboring countries...... Just spying on them was enough for the Privy Council. ”

"What do you mean?"

"When the enemy uses magic to plot against him, if the superior is not prepared accordingly, won't there even be room for resistance?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

"It would be a waste to have power that ordinary people don't have, but only to deal with evil spirits. Li narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a fact that monsters harm people, but the number is only a fraction, and the ones who really kill people are always you human beings, but you don't know it yet." Since Fang Shi can become a sharp blade, isn't it a very simple reason how to use weapons in normal times and how to continue to use them now?"

"You didn't have time to ask me how I got hurt, so I'll tell you now. She recounted the process of fighting with the tyrant in full, "This person is what I call a 'weapon', and I can feel the strong evil aura on his body, which means that there are not a thousand lives in his hands, but hundreds of people. And this person is only a guard in the Privy Council, and those who are above him are only stained with more blood than him. As for how many evil cults have been killed, do the officials sitting in Shangyuan City really care......?

Li suddenly paused, because Xia Fan had already brought a new spoonful of soup to her mouth.

She glared at him angrily, and finally opened her mouth obediently.

"I did think a little simplistic, but this shouldn't be the norm. Xia Fan defended his own race, "People always want to live a good life, as long as someone takes the lead, the world will always get better and better." At that time, even if you have a powerful weapon in your hand, you will not use it easily because of restraint. ”

Nonsense. Although the fox demon thought so in her heart, the inexplicable confidence revealed between the other party's words made her take this sentence back, and finally just snorted lightly, "You seem to have seen it." ”

"Didn't we all come here like this, if there was no progress, we would still be drinking blood from the trees. ”

"I hope you'll think that way in the future. Li shrugged disappreciatively.

"If I go to Gyeonggi......" Xia Fan paused for a moment, "will you go with me?"

The fox demon was silent for a moment, and then shook his ears, "Don't worry, I don't have the habit of defaulting on my debts." Although it is very risky for the demon there, the chances are also not small - if there is a suitable place to hold a green sword, I am afraid that it is only the Privy Council of the capital. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Do you really think you can come out on top in the tax?" Li rolled his eyes, "With all due respect, with your strength, I can put you down with a tail before I get hurt, and I can't destroy the turbidity in the night alone." I told you not to be reluctant, and it didn't hurt to wait another three years, but it turned out that you didn't run, but you also wanted to get the first place? Let's think about how to save your life in the night of the great wilderness!"

......

By the time Xia Fan went to sleep, he was already halfway through his childhood.

Li didn't fall asleep—it was the first time she'd spent the night in a cramped room with a human.

The other party re-laid a blanket and futon on the floor, and it was considered that they did not interfere with each other, but considering that she was a demon, such a distance was incredible.

Li doesn't care about the red tape of human beings, what men and women don't kiss is all false and serious, the key is the difference between her and the other party's identity. The master didn't mind her approaching, it was based on the difference in strength between the two sides, but the person in front of him didn't stabilize his strength, but he slept quite peacefully, which was a bit incredible.

However, when it comes to incredible, why is she not a person herself? Determined to take revenge on the Privy Council, she shared a room with the Fang Shi who was determined to be admitted to the Privy Council, and accepted the care of the other party in a grand manner.

What went wrong?

She was puzzled for a moment.

It wasn't until the moonlight outside the window shone on the empty bowl of porridge that the fox demon's gaze froze.

What came to mind was the scene of Xia Fan blowing on the spoon.

Would anyone really do that to a demon?

Wrong...... No one would do that, unless the other party didn't treat her as a demon or an alien.

An answer suddenly appeared in Li's heart.

She was surprised to find that from the first time she saw Xia Fan to the present, he didn't seem to show a trace of rejection, as if he was not fundamentally different from herself.

This is also the reason why she felt that the other party was "abnormal" at that time—even if it was a master, she would not do it to such a point. At least she could feel that in Master's eyes, she was still a foreign race, a non-human, and a world of difference from human beings, so she repeatedly taught herself not to approach other people easily.

But Xia Fan didn't, his gaze was always unusual, and this "ordinary" even made Li have the illusion that he was being ignored, so that he briefly ignored its own irrationality. When she looked back, she realized how rare it was.

It's as if it's not the first time the other party has been with a demon, but has experienced a similar scene thousands of times.

But in his mouth, he was clearly the first demon he saw.

I haven't been in contact with it, but I am used to it, which is somewhat similar to being born to know. It's just that...... Does such a thing really exist?

......

Two days was not a long time, and on the afternoon of the seventh day, the remaining candidates had gathered in the center of Castle Peak Town, ready to face the last hurdle of the exam.

Xia Fan ascended to the top floor of the inn - the number one wing here has been converted into a "defense command post" because of its excellent view, and you can see the situation of the town from the window.

It was about six o'clock, just as the sun was setting, and its reddish-orange afterglow had already stained half of the sky red. The green hills that stretch as far as the eye can see are gone, and the shadows scattered at the foot of the mountain are like a reminder of the arrival of the night, and with the distant birds returning to their nests and the chirping of insects, everything seems to be as normal as usual.

"Looking at this peaceful beauty, I sometimes feel like I'm wrong. Luo was the first to notice Xia Fan's arrival, put down the file in his hand and walked over.

He always felt that since the speech on that day, the Luo family's genius's attitude towards him has become much more active.

"Isn't it better to be wrong? Holding the source of spiritual fire in your hand is already equivalent to qualifying, so you can wait until tomorrow with peace of mind. Xia Fan pretended to be relaxed and said, "As for this town, with the power of the Privy Council, it shouldn't be enough for us to compensate for the loss of demolition, right?"

The so-called ordinaryness does not include the town itself.

After some transformation, the inner ring of Qingshan Town has been connected, and compared to ordinary fortresses, it does not even have a "city gate" - the only access to and from the hunting group is completely sealed after the last hunt, theoretically eliminating the possibility of enemies rushing in. Of course, on the other hand, it also cuts off the idea of candidates running away.

The houses in the outer ring were demolished, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mess.

Hearing the statement of compensation for losses, Luo couldn't help but smile lightly.

"I have to admit, your plan is pretty good. As the leader of the Fei family's children, his attitude towards the left-behind plan was completely different from that of the Fang family - perhaps because of the dissatisfaction of the other family's preemptive occupation of the hoistway, or because he wanted to show the strength of the Fei family in front of the invigilator, he not only took the initiative to participate in the defense decision, but also took on a lot of garrison tasks. "The hoistway will limit the evil, but it will also limit us. Now put on the ground, everyone can not only condescendingly occupy the advantage of the location, but also flexibly rotate to attack strongly, no matter from which aspect is much better than shrinking underground. ”

"If you praise me, you can wait until tomorrow," Xia Fan smiled, "I still have some experience in arranging for everyone to repair some things, but leading the team to meet the enemy is not what I am good at." Whether or not they can successfully survive until tomorrow morning depends on the command of the two. ”

"Don't worry, this is exactly what the Fei family is good at. Fei Nian was about to say something more when a short exclamation interrupted the conversation between the three of them.

"Look in the direction of Aoyama!"

This reminder immediately drew the eyes of everyone in the wing room to the window.

Xia Fan is no exception.

I saw layers of white mist rising from the mountains at some point, like water vapor rising from the trees after heavy rain - only it did not feel light at all, nor did it reflect the afterglow of dusk, as if it had nothing to do with the world.

The outline of the green hills soon became blurred by the spread of the fog, followed by dense forests and mountain paths, thatched huts and alleys in the distance.

In just a few quarters of an hour, the center of the town was already white, and even the demolished houses a hundred steps away had become faintly visible.
