As a result, Charlotte will enter the 13th High School at Sea as an international exchange student by her own means. To be honest, Jiang Chen originally thought that Charlotte was a professional woman in her early twenties, but he didn't expect that behind her mature dress, she was still a student about the same age as several of her own. Although he is an investigator of the Diving Research Association, he is actually studying English literature at a university in the UK.

The rest of the time, Jiang Chen, Xia Mai and Jingyu had a cordial and friendly conversation.

Jiang Chen, who was originally wary of anyone, confessed his acquisition of the Qiankun Ring and Eight Feet to Xia Mai, who was unaware, again, and finally distinguished the order of the current matter.

As expected, the three of them ranked the master of the Yuanguang spell at the bottom, after all, the other party's primary spell could even be easily cracked by Jing Yu, presumably the other party was just a junior cultivator like them.

The immediate priority at the moment is to wait for Hachi to get better and ask about the mysterious man in black. On the other hand, the three of them decided to test the hooded man under appropriate circumstances, at least to see each other as he was.

As for Guan Yang, Jiang Chen's side planned to entrust Charlotte to inquire about the relevant information in the Spiritless Realm, while Xia Mai tried to get close to the Wen Shi faction from the family's possible interpersonal relationships.

After some arrangement, everyone received the corresponding tasks, and finally sorted out the messy situation during this time.

There is another point that Jiang Chen did not discuss with the two, it is about his own guardian spirit.

The so-called guardian spirit is to protect the safety of the summoner, generally speaking, the guardian spirit can directly fight with soul-like creatures, but if it is against a flesh-and-blood yang creature, it needs to be possessed to the summoner to fight, just like Jiang Chen last time - the difference is that when fighting with the mysterious man in black, Jiang Chen did not summon anyone.

During the last battle with the mysterious man in black, his body had been controlled by a mysterious force, and he vaguely felt that it had something to do with Xie Qiye, but because of a series of things after that, he didn't take the time to ask carefully.

Originally, after Xie Qiye became his guardian spirit, he used to feel that he was coaxing for a while, but then he found out that something was wrong.

Other people's guardian spirits have an extremely high success rate in summoning, just like the fat girl's pig, who has never failed to summon at all. But he had also tried to summon the guardian spirit a few times, but Xie Qiye did not show up once. Because other people don't have the same situation as him, it's really head-scratching. I had to attribute the reason to the identity of my guardian spirit - after all, Xie Qiye was busy with work, how could he be on call like any lonely ghost.

Therefore, to this day, the relationship between Xie Qiye and his grandmother is also a mystery in his heart.

......

When the three of them separated, it was already dusk, Xia Mai wanted to go back to the family for the sake of Wen Shi's affairs, and Jingyu said that he would go to Meng Xingchao for combat training.

Thinking about Xiaoba's injury in his heart, as well as Zhang Baihui and his agreement yesterday, after separating from the two, he hurriedly walked towards Boyang Academy.

Originally, he was worried that he would not be able to pass through the magic circle of Meili Snow Mountain during non-class time, but the actual situation proved that his worries were unnecessary.

Unhindered, he passed through his hand to the teaching ground in the middle of the snowy mountain. Although there are always students here on weekdays for classes or gathering, it is now the weekend and most of the students are going home to rest, and it is empty.

Today's valley was still foggy, and Jiang Chen stood next to a large cluster of brilliant violets, but found a very serious problem.

That is, he didn't know Zhang Baihui...... Where to stay.

Does this teacher want to be so bad...... When you make an appointment, you just say it's evening, and you don't say what time it is. I came by myself, and I didn't say to pick it up, this vast snow-capped mountain, where to find it by myself.

He didn't expect that if it was an ordinary cultivator, he could find the other party's location through the bond with the contract beast, and Xiao Hachi and him were only nominal contracts, and Zhang Baihui probably didn't expect this situation.

Jiang Chen could only follow his memory and walk in the direction of Zhang Baihui and Xiaoba, and shouted extremely embarrassed as he walked: "Teacher Zhang~~~"

As it turned out, the effect of his approach was very significant, and when he was about halfway up the mountain, he saw the man with the hat teleporting from a distance, as if teleporting, and in a few steps he came to his side and slapped him on the face:

"What to shout, what to shout!, there was an avalanche in a while!"

But Zhang Baihui's voice was not small, and the birds in the forest fluttered and flew up.

Until he crawled to Zhang Baihui's small thatched hut, he walked for nearly two hours, from dusk and sunset to the moon and stars, Jiang Chen until, if he hadn't taken care of his footsteps, the other party would have been able to arrive a long time ago.

This is a thatched hut built halfway up the mountain, and the location is very clever, a few steps up the hill is covered with snow, down is green grass, as if the whole mountain is divided by the thatched hut of Zhangbaihui, which has become spring and winter.

From a distance, the white smoke coming out of the chimney and the stacks of firewood neatly stacked behind the house make it a bit of rural leisure.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Hachi nesting in the tight bed of the kang bed, a small fluffy mass that looked like he was asleep, and the stabbing wound was coated with green herbs and pasted with gauze.

There were a few pots of charcoal in the house, and the kang was also boiling hot, but it was not as cold as outside.

Starting from the cultivation of physical fitness and "spirit", Jiang Chen's tolerance for cold and heat has greatly improved, but the warm feeling of the body still gives people a pleasant feeling.

He reached out and touched Xiaoba's face, and looked at Zhang Baihui with inquiring eyes.

"I can't die, it's just that I'm seriously injured, and I can't wake up for a while. The man took off his hat, took out a pipe out of nowhere, lit the tobacco leaves in it, and took a deep breath:

"Such a wound is a weapon from a practitioner. ”

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but acquiesced.

"I didn't have such a dangerous situation in my collection class. He made it to the ondol, and he smoked his pipe, and he swallowed the clouds and smoked for a while.

"You said yesterday that you would give me an answer. Jiang Chen also sat on the edge of the kang, but he sat upright, his back was straight, and he looked at the eyes behind the smoke.

"Ah yes!" the other party patted his head, as if he had just remembered this incident: "You asked me yesterday how to live well." ”

Zhang Baihui didn't think about it again this time, but answered him directly: "I think that as long as you are comfortable, you will live well." ”

Jiang Chen was silent, what Zhang Baihui said was right, he was uncomfortable, and it was not ordinary anger or depression, but the kind of unease that worried about his own safety.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the other party asked again: "So, before answering your question, I have to tell me, why are you uncomfortable?"

"Because someone is going to kill me. Jiang Chen blurted out without hesitation.

The other party obviously didn't expect a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to have such appalling troubles, but he was only stunned for a moment, and then laughed:

"You, didn't you just say that someone was going to kill you!"

He was puzzled and waited for the other party to continue to explain.

The other party put down the cigarette stick, knocked twice under the sole of his shoe, and said slowly: "The old man is ashamed, he will live for more than 2,000 years." ”

Jiang Chen was stunned in his heart, although he knew that most cultivators had long lives, it was the first time he had seen a cultivator who had lived for so long.

"And I, old man, have only done two things in the past three hundred years. ”

The other party laughed, and this time the smile was a little proud:

"One thing, it's murder. ”

"The other thing is to save people. ”

He understood the other party's so-called saving people, since he could be the herb teacher of Boyang Academy, he must be quite proficient in medicine and medicinal herbs, and he was very likely to be a hermit master. And about killing, he is at a loss, if the other party is really a murderous master, then he must also be a famous figure in the history of cultivating immortals...... It's just the name Zhang Baihui, but he has never heard of it.

If this person is really an old monster who has lived for more than 2,000 years, I am afraid that things like changing his face and name and surname are often done, and if others don't say it, he won't ask.

"There is a saying, those who respect others will always respect them, and those who kill people will always kill them. If I were you, and I had such troubles, I would have brought that man in and beaten him viciously, and it would have been solved. ”

Jiang Chen secretly said in his heart, teacher, it doesn't seem that this sentence is like this.
