"Brother!"

Zihao called softly, his eyes turned, and he met Zihao's eyes, and the blood in his eyes gradually faded, returning to his original clarity, and his numb arm also regained consciousness. Zixiao's first feeling was pain, seeing the snake head on his left arm, the pungent smell of blood made Zixiao's stomach churn, and he turned around and retched.

"Wow, it hurts, it's nauseous, it's nauseous—"

"Uh......"

Zihao was also speechless for a while.

"Zihao, come and help me get rid of this dead thing!"

After Zixiao finished retching, he turned around and shouted at Zihao.

"Oh. ”

Zihao hurriedly ran over and broke Shekou with great effort.

"It hurts, it hurts! Tap, this thing bites really hard. ”

Zi Xiao suddenly screamed again and again.

"Don't be in a hurry to pull out, the snake's teeth are barb-shaped, and the more you pull, the deeper you bite!"

Zihao reminded.

"Huh, what then?"

Zi Xiao was also forced into a cold sweat by this huge pain.

"Send your arm in, let the snake fang come out first, it should be fine. ”

Zi Xiao had to do it, this method was really good, and his arm was really taken out.

"Fortunately, this snake is not venomous, otherwise it would be impossible to save your life. ”

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, Zihao still had palpitations.

Tearing off a strip of rag from his clothes and simply bandaging Zixiao's arm, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that snake didn't hurt you. ”

Zi Xiao asked seemingly casually.

"Is it qualified?"

Zihao felt a little warm in her heart.

"That's good, otherwise my mother will have to count me down again. ”

Zi Xiao grinned, as if the injuries on his body had nothing to do with him.

Zihao looked at Zixiao's injured arm and was silent.

Since he was a child, he was the one who got into trouble every time, but it was his brother who was hurt the most, and whenever his mother drugged Zixiao, he always scolded Zihao, the troublemaker, and counted Zixiao on the other hand, and Zixiao was always like no one else, protecting his younger brother and taking the fault on himself.

"Brother, I'm sorry. ”

Zihao said suddenly.

Hearing this, Zi Xiao was stunned at first.

"What the family says to do, it's the beast's fault if it's wrong, and I don't blame you. ”

Saying that, Zi Xiao also kicked the snake corpse hatefully.

"Anyway, the hand crossbow you made is really good!"

Zi Xiao raised his crossbow in his right hand and shook it in front of Zi Hao.

"Don't be frustrated, the trouble hasn't been solved yet. ”

Zi Xiao persuaded hard, turned around and stared at the silver wolf who almost put himself to death just now.

The silver wolf felt Zixiao's gaze, and subconsciously took a few steps back, with a little fear in his eyes, and blocked his body at the entrance of the cave.

"Forget it, it seems that this guy is no longer a threat, for the sake of those two little cubs, just spare her. ”

Zihao looked at the silver wolf who was a little cowering and spoke.

Because Zi Xiao was injured, if the two of them were strong, it would inevitably make the silver wolf fight back on the verge of death, but the gains outweighed the losses.

"Okay. ”

Zixiao is also holding on at this time, and it is better to have more than one thing.

"I hope this beast doesn't have any crooked thoughts, or else ......"

Thinking of this, Zi Xiao's hand was already quietly clenched, and even the silver wolf didn't understand how this human being, who was still cowering just now, suddenly became so ruthless. Maybe it's because of the appearance of Artemisia.

"By the way, brother, how long does the village chief plan to keep us in prison?"

Artemisia suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"I don't know, it's estimated that it will take a long time to get into such a big disaster this time. ”

"I didn't expect to encounter such a big trouble when I first came in, but these spirit beasts tossed people enough. ”

Zihao sat on the ground and began to complain.

"Spirit beasts have their own territory. ”

After Zi Xiao finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the silver wolf who had been on the defensive.

"Yes, looking at this wolf's appearance, the territory should not be small, anyway, it is not a threat now, it is better to stay here and wait for the village chief to let us out." ”

Zihao quickly understood what Zixiao meant. At this time, the poor silver wolf had no idea that his territory had been "occupied" by these two uninvited guests.

"By the way, everything has been taken back by the village chief, can you still make that thing?"

"Is it really all taken away? hehe. Zihao took out two stones, one large and one small, in his arms.

The surface of the stone is very smooth, and when it is illuminated by the sun, it glows with a strange blue glow. The mother and child stones, divided into the child stone and the mother stone, have the same root and the same origin, a kind of spirit stone, after a hundred years can produce a subtle connection, which can be used to transmit information and be driven by spiritual power.

"Clever enough!"

"Small!"

It turned out that the package on Zihao's back was just a trick prop, and what she really wanted had already arrived.

It wasn't until their stomachs protested at the same time that they realized they hadn't eaten for a day.

"I heard that the grilled snake meat tastes pretty good. ”

After Zihao said this, the two of them glanced at the black snake that had long been lifeless at the same time.

By the time the two of them were chewing on a piece of snake meat in one hand, the sky had already darkened, and the two sat cross-legged in front of the wolf's den, the silver wolf never left a step, his eyes flashed in the firelight, but the two little guys behind him were attracted by the smell of meat, and they had been hesitant and did not dare to step forward.

"Smack!"

Zixiao casually threw away a piece of snake meat, and before the silver wolf could stop it, the two little guys rushed to pounce, but they couldn't bite a trace of snake meat, the silver wolf looked at the two biting little guys, his eyes became soft, and he picked up the snake meat and chewed it in his mouth, and the two little guys immediately went up to ask for it, and then they ate a rare delicacy.

Seeing this rare picture, both of them were silent. For a long time, Artemisia was the first to break the silence.

"Brother, did you say that Mom knew that we were being locked up here?"

"I must know, when did the two of us get into trouble, my mother didn't ask the village chief for someone?"

Zi Xiao lay lazily on the ground, holding a straw pole in his mouth.

"And when can we get out?"

"I don't know. ”

"Zihao, the aura of this back mountain should be much richer than the outside, don't sleep tonight, practice hard." ”

"What's the point of cultivating? It's boring, it's better to sleep. ”

Zihao replied lazily.

"You said that it's been almost three years since your spiritual power awakened, but you haven't become an official spirit yet. ”

"I'm not going to take any spirit tests, I'm going to have to fight around, and I don't know how to attack spirits. ”

Zihao pursed her lips and said nonchalantly.

"If you divide half of your time to cultivate spiritual power, you won't be so weak, will you only have to run away when you see Ba Shao in the future?"

Zi Xiao said bitterly.

"Okay, okay, just cultivate, it's really verbose. ”

Zihao was impatient, so she had to sit up straight, her eyes slightly closed, and she began to cultivate, and a not weak cyclone appeared around her body, and the flames also danced with the wind.

Zihao's spiritual power belongs to the wind, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use, this is the difference between spiritual powers, Zixiao looked at Zihao in a state of cultivation, with a look of envy, but in less than a quarter of an hour, Zixiao saw the harazi on the side of Zihao's mouth, and his head was crooked to the side, and he actually fell asleep.

"Hey......"

Zi Xiao sighed, slowly put down Zi Hao's body, and increased the fire a little, then leaned against a tree trunk and stared at the silver wolf opposite. The latter was lying on the edge of the nest, and the two little ones had already burrowed into the hole. Who can guarantee that the silver wolf will not suddenly attack if both of them are asleep? It seems that the task of sentry is about to be handed over to him.

"Possessing spiritual power is indeed enviable. ”

Zi Xiao let out a sigh, it seems that he can't step into that world in his life, the smile on Zi Xiao's face was a little bitter.

"Jiji, it seems that this kid is still very eager to get strength, but this desire is far from strong enough, keep it up, otherwise how can the old man have a chance to see the light of day again?"

In the depths of the soul, a voice sounded.

"Auditory hallucinations?" Zi Xiao was startled, and then shook his head, it seemed that he was really tired.

In the following days, in addition to looking for food, the two of them have been active in the territory of the silver wolf, which naturally saved a lot of trouble, and half a month passed, and the two returned to the old place to see the village chief with a pipe in his mouth.

"Grandpa the village chief, why are you here?"

Zixiao was a little surprised, could it be that the sentence had expired and he came to pick him up?

Lan Li glanced at Zi Xiao and didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in spiritual power.

"It's still too reluctant. ”

The village chief sighed inexplicably, the spiritual power fluctuations on Zihao's body have not increased much, such a good cultivation environment in the back mountain, coupled with the threat of so many spirit beasts, he was stunned that Zixiao's spiritual power was not forced out, and Zihao, he didn't want to make progress, and it was difficult to advance his spiritual power, and the village chief was also a little helpless.

"Can you go out?"

Zihao asked cautiously. I prayed in my heart that the village chief would not find out that the mother stone had been "missing".

Lan Li spat out a smoke ring and knocked his pipe against the trunk of the tree.

"You can go. ”

Originally, I planned to lock these two guys for a month, but I didn't know that the Imperial Academy came to the village to recruit students, and asked the people in the village who were under the age of 16 to be brought to the academy for training, and the village chief remembered the two people who were locked up in the back mountain, Zihao barely met the requirements, but Zixiao still didn't have a trace of spiritual awakening.

As a vassal state of the Flame Empire, Yunfeng Kingdom can naturally receive some care, for example, the Imperial Academy regularly recruits students from Yunfeng Kingdom every year, and the main location is the three spirit villages of Yunfeng Kingdom. Holy Spirit Village, Yunxia Village, Lingfeng Village, and as the boss of the three spirit villages, he is naturally the first enrollment target, and there are ten places for enrollment every year, but this year it is the spirit under the age of 16, who has almost hollowed out all the fresh blood in the Holy Spirit Village, and there are 30 people who meet the requirements, in groups of three, and are sent directly to the Imperial Academy.

The village chief originally planned to divide Zihao Zixiao and Ling'er into a group, but now Zixiao's spiritual power has not awakened, and he is not qualified to enter the school at all, so he can't help but feel a little regretful.

The two followed Lan Li all the way to the spirit headquarters in the village.

"You two stinky boys, you have caused such a big trouble for my mother, I won't clean you up when I go back!"

Before entering the headquarters, Zixiao and Zihao saw their mother rushing over, and the two of them suddenly felt a chill.

"And you, throw the two of them into the back mountain, and you are not afraid of danger, how can you compensate if something happens?"

As soon as he arrived, the phoenix pointed at Lan Li's nose and accused loudly, but Lan Li was unmoved, squinted, and exhaled a puff of smoke comfortably.

"Sometimes it's good to have a proper experience. ”

At this time, it is not a wise choice to go toe-to-toe with a woman.

"Mom, don't you think we're doing well?"

Zi Xiao hurriedly came out to play a round game, and suddenly realized something, and shrunk his left arm into his sleeve, although the injury has healed, the scar is still there, if he lets his mother see it, he will have to make a big fuss.

"You two go home first, I've already cooked the meal, and I haven't eaten a decent meal for half a month. ”

"Mmmm, you're so nice, Mom, we'll go back now. ”

Before Zihao left, she didn't forget to play a poor mouth, looking at the two figures who walked away, Phoenix's eyes softened a lot.

"Come in, I know you have something to say. Lan Li turned and entered the headquarters.

"What about those from the Imperial Academy?"

"I've gone to the other two villages, and I'm going to be back in seven days. ”

"Is Artemisia going?"

"Yes. ”

Hearing such an answer, Phoenix's eyes were a little gloomy.

"How long will it take?"

"At least two years. ”

Phoenix's body trembled slightly.

"Is it going to take that long?" muttered Phoenix.

"I locked Zi Xiao in the back mountain, I wanted to stimulate Zi Xiao's potential in that environment, but now it seems that it is still not enough. ”

Lan Li knocked the pipe on the side of the table a few times, knocked out the slag, opened the tobacco pouch, plucked a small pinch of tobacco to fill the pipe, and used his thumb to fill the tobacco little by little.

"I want Zixiao to go too. ”

Phoenix was silent for a moment, as if she had made up her mind.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to handle this empire, after all, Zi Xiao ...... him"

"What if I could give him psychic powers?"

Phoenix interrupted the village chief's next words.

"What do you mean?"

The village chief stopped what he was doing and looked up at the phoenix with doubts in his eyes.

"The art of crossing the soul. ”

The phoenix slowly spat out four words from his mouth.

Lan Li's eyes widened suddenly, he put down his pipe and sighed.

"Have you asked Zixiao about this matter?"

"No, it was my decision and it was a choice made for him. ”

Phoenix knows that his son has always been very good, except that his spiritual power has never been awakened, which is also a pity. In the entire Yunfeng country, there are only more than 1,000 spirits among the 100,000 people, so it can be seen that the difficulty of spiritual power awakening is not absolute, and if you want to become a spirit, you can also use a unique grafting spirit technique - the art of crossing the spirit.

The human body has eight veins, and the spirit has one more vein, which is called the spiritual vein, which is also the source of spiritual power.

"Only with the pulse as the guide can we cross the spirit. "The person who crosses the spirit will inevitably be greatly traumatized, and there is a great chance of failure, even if it succeeds, the person who receives the spirit will be much weaker, after all, it is a borrowed spiritual power.

"You know, this technique is listed as a forbidden technique, and it is not easy to perform it, in case it ......"

After pondering for a moment, Lan Li slowly spoke.

"I've thought about the worst, but some things have to be tried to know the outcome, don't they?"

Phoenix didn't hesitate, his eyes were a little stubborn.

"Now that you've decided, give it a try!"

"Village Elder Xie!"

The phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, after all, only Lan Li had the ability to perform the Soul Crossing Technique.

"Xiao'er, I will definitely make you a spirit one, no matter what the cost!"

"It's so full. ”

Zihao patted her stomach, burped, and said unsatisfied.

But Zi Xiao still didn't stop his movements, and swept away the food on the table like a whirlwind, and the table was also a mess.

"Zihao, on the way back, I heard that the Imperial College has come here to recruit students. ”

After eating and drinking, Zi Xiao remembered that there was such a thing.

"What's the matter with me? ”

Zihao had no interest in this Imperial Academy at all.

"You're too useless, cultivating spiritual arts is the right way, this is a good opportunity. ”

Zixiao was angry when he saw Zihao's dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"It doesn't matter if it's crooked, I just want to do what I like, believe it or not, one day I will use my own way to defeat the right way you say?"

Speaking of this, Zihao's eyes lit up surprisingly, which made Zixiao feel that his younger brother was by no means a mediocre talent, and he created his own Dao, this idea was really a bit whimsical, and even those powerful spirits probably rarely had this kind of courage.

"Yes, no matter what, it's a hundred times better than my scrap wood. ”

Zi Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart.

"I'm sure there will come a day. Zixiao stood up, walked in front of Zihao, patted the latter's shoulder, turned around and walked out the door.

"Brother. ”

Zihao screamed, jumped down from the chair, and chased after him.

"Don't follow. ”

Zi Xiao waved his hand back.

"There seems to be something wrong with my brother today, inexplicably. ”

Zihao shook his head, turned around and walked towards his small workshop, where crossbows and counterfeit flares were born.

Out of the house, Zi Xiao began to wander aimlessly in the village, unconsciously it was already past the afternoon, the sun at this time looked extraordinarily red, maybe tired of walking, Zi Xiao listened to it, only to find that he had walked to the small lake in the village, this is a rare place to relax, or rather, this is also a place where people can vent. Because this small lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, no matter how loud you shout, people outside will not hear it, in the past, whenever there was unhappiness, Zixiao would run here to vent, plus he inadvertently walked here again, naturally there is no need to "relax".

"Fuck your god, what kind of bullshit spiritual power, Lao Tzu is not rare, what other spiritual people, Lao Tzu is not uncommon to do, don't let Lao Tzu awaken any spiritual power within half a month, have the ability to pit Lao Tzu to the end!"

After shouting this call, Xiaohu didn't react, and the young man's voice echoed in the mountains, startling many birds.

Usually, if I had finished venting, I would have felt much better, but this time I didn't relax much, and I sat on the grass by the lake.

"I'll be 16 years old in half a month, and if my spiritual power hasn't awakened yet, there's really no hope. ”

Zi Xiao couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. Do you really not want to be a spirit? On the surface, you pretend to be indifferent, but only you know your heart's desires best.

"There are so many people like me in this world, maybe this is not what I should have hoped for. ”

Zixiao's thoughts are complicated now, and he just looks at the lake in a daze.

"Ding--"

A pebble broke the calm of the lake, rippled, and when he looked up, a pretty figure was already standing behind him.

Under the sunset, the girl's long silver-white hair is also covered with a layer of gold, the breeze blows, the girl's hair and skirt move with the wind, coupled with the mischievous smile on the girl's delicate little face, in an instant, it has become the best scenery.

"Ling'er?"

After a short period of distraction, Zixiao called out the girl's name.

The girl nodded slightly, paced gently, and came to Zixiao, bringing a trace of fragrance, which made Zixiao's heart a little rippling. The girl stared at Zixiao's eyes, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes looked even more moving.

"You've got something on your mind. ”

The girl was in sign language, as if she had seen through Zixiao at a glance.

"I didn't. ”

Zixiao denied it, and the girl didn't continue to ask, just pouted, looking even cuter.

"I looked for you just now, but you weren't there, so I came here, and you came back here as soon as you had something on your mind. ”

Zixiao did not deny this time that he could hide anything in front of this girl.

"Are you looking for me?

The bitterness in Zixiao's heart was even stronger.

How could he forget the other identity of the girl in front of him? Spirit Person, and she is also an innate spirit body! The spiritual power she cultivates is also extremely special, and it does not belong to any attribute, if life is also an attribute, then it is, in other words, her spiritual power is the life force.

Spirits, innate spirits, life force, these auras are really dazzling when superimposed, and what is even more terrifying is her unique cultivation talent.

Zixiao, Zihao, and Ling'er have been playmates since they were young, and the more they grow up, the more Zixiao feels that the distance between him and Ling'er is getting farther and farther, he thinks that he doesn't care about the difference in identity, at least Ling'er doesn't care, but in the end, he still cares a lot, who makes him still have a strange emotion for the girl in front of him? In the end, he cares about the girl in front of him after all.

"No, I heard from my grandfather that you are back, so I came to see you. ”

The girl's sign language was a little anxious, and her face was also a little anxious, and she had known that the Imperial Academy was recruiting students.

"See it now?"

Standing up since childhood, he is more than half a head taller than Ling'er. Hearing Zixiao's words, Ling'er was a little overwhelmed, didn't know how to answer, lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes.

"So, isn't it time to go?"

Zixiao's inexplicable words led the girl to be even more cramped, raised her head, and her little face was also a little aggrieved, but it was even more touching.

"Okay, I'm going to tease you. ”

Zixiao scraped the tip of the girl's nose with her index finger, staggered away, and walked a few steps, but did not find that Ling'er was following.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly?"

Zixiao didn't look back, and walked along the lake by himself.

Hearing this, the girl smiled and followed the figure in front of her. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the two figures are one in front of the other, not far and not close, and their shadows are reflected on the lake, which is beautiful and picturesque.

When Zi Xiao returned home, it was already dark, and as soon as he entered the house, Zi Xiao walked towards Zi Hao's workshop, and was pushing the door in, but he couldn't push it open.

"What are you messing with, why are you locking the door?"

Zi Xiao muttered, didn't bother, turned upstairs, entered the room, and saw the mess of the room, and couldn't help but complain again.

"What is this kid turning over again?"

Tidy up one by one, take a long breath, open the skylight, climb up to the roof along the ladder, and watch the starlight fill the sky, and when Zihao climbs up, the sky is full of stars, and the room is also lit with candles.

"Brother, I made something for you. ”

Zihao took out an object in his hand and dangled it in front of Zixiao's eyes, it was a necklace, and the pendant of the necklace was a mutton fat white jade version of a crescent moon, about an inch long, but he couldn't tell what material it was.

"What is this?"

"The bone tooth necklace is made from the teeth of that snake, and I have carefully polished it. ”

Zihao said with some smugness.

Only then did Zi Xiao notice that the tips of his teeth had been rounded, and there was a slight coolness when his fingers touched him.

"For your birthday, I also made one for myself, exactly a pair. ”

"You're not going to do this all afternoon, are you?"

Zi Xiao pulled the necklace over, put it directly on his neck, and knocked it on Zi Hao's head casually.

"yes, you don't know how hard I've tried, and it can bring you good luck. ”

Zihao looked serious.

"Who the hell are you listening to?"

Zi Xiao smiled, and his fingers touched the bone tooth necklace.

"It's true!"

Artemisia continued to insist.

"You two bastards, if I don't come back, will you just sleep on the roof?"

The roar of a phoenix suddenly sounded under the room.

"We'll go down right now!"

Zihao stuck out her tongue and answered downstairs, and the two returned to the room to accept the baptism of anger from her mother.

When Zihao was already asleep, Zixiao still didn't feel sleepy, looking at the endless starry sky through the skylight, and I don't know how long it took before he fell asleep......

In the blink of an eye, six days have passed, in these few days, under the coercion and persuasion of Phoenix, Zihao finally compromised and agreed to go to the Imperial Academy for further study, in addition to eating and sleeping, Zihao drilled in his own small workshop every day, Zixiao also lost his soul all day, during which Ling'er came several times, and was shirked for various reasons, and Ling'er came every time he came on the mood and returned in a huff.

Mom seems to be very busy these days, saying that there is something important, and as soon as she goes out, she cooks a day's meals for the two brothers every day, and she doesn't come back until the evening.

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen, and Zi Xiao came to the door of Zi Hao's small workshop again and knocked on the door.

"Come out to eat, and come to the roof when you're done. ”

Leaving a word, he turned away without waiting for a response from inside.

About half an hour later, Zihao slowly climbed onto the roof.

"What's the matter?"

Zihao asked lazily, he had been staying in the workshop for the past few days, and his spirit was not too full.

"You're leaving tomorrow, and you're not going to pack your things?"

As soon as Zi Xiao opened his mouth, he was counted.

"Isn't that you?"

There is something natural about Artemisia's words.

"I can't accompany you when I go out this time, you have to learn to take care of yourself when you're alone outside, the Imperial Academy is not our village, don't be bullied, you can't stand it and come back......"

"Stop, stop, stop, brother, are you okay, why are you more verbose than your mother?"

Feeling that Zi Xiao had a sign that the flood was out of control, Zi Hao hurriedly stopped.

And Zi Hao stopped shouting, Zi Xiao was also a little speechless, and looked up at the sky.

"This time I went out and tried to inquire about my father's news. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zi Xiao suddenly said.

"Father?"

Zihao was also a little stunned, and only a vague shadow was left in his memory.

"Yes, my father is also a spirit being, and his strength is also extremely strong, so if you ask around, there will always be news. ”

To be honest, Zixiao himself didn't dare to believe that he could get news of his father.

"How do you ask me to find him, he has been away from us for ten years, and we don't even know if he is dead or alive!"

Artemisia suddenly became a little excited, and since the man left, the word "father" had become very sensitive.

"But you have to believe that he is still alive!" Zi Xiao's words were very harsh, as if he was roaring.

"Even if it's for my mother. ”

At the end, Zi Xiao added.

"I will. After a brief silence, Artemisia walked down the roof.

"By the way, I wish you a happy birthday in advance. ”

When approaching the skylight, Zihao suddenly turned around and said, but his face was a little gloomy.

Zixiao smiled helplessly, his father had been missing for so many years, and every time someone went out of the village to perform a mission, his mother asked someone to inquire, but there was still no news.

"It's a bit hard for him. ”

Zixiao sighed and returned to the room, but Zihao was not there, and the door of the workshop was closed tightly.

"It's also a joke. Zi Xiao suddenly had a big head, and the night before leaving, it seemed a little unpleasant.

Early the next morning, Phoenix picked up Artemisia from the bed, ate something simply, and pulled Artemisia towards the headquarters of the Spirit, the people from the Imperial Academy came today, and the time could not be delayed, Zixiao took care of Zihao's belongings, and followed closely with the package on his back.

"Ling'er will leave today, too. Along the way, Zi Xiao had Ling'er in his mind.

When I arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, it was already full of people, at least hundreds of people, all of whom were parents and their families who had sent their children. Zixiao also saw Ke Wangba, and Wang Ba also happened to see Zixiao and Zihao, and when the enemy saw each other, his eyes were red, so he looked at each other.

"Be careful when you get to the academy, kid. ”

Zi Xiao reminded in his ear.

"Don't worry, if he dares to stir up trouble, I guarantee that he won't get any benefits. ”

Zihao is also very hard.

"That's good. ”

After speaking, Zi Xiao began to look for Ling'er's figure in the crowd, and at this time, Lan Li also walked out of the Spirit Headquarters, talking and laughing with an old man beside him.

"Qingyuan, this time you personally led the team again, and we in Yunfeng Kingdom don't know how many newcomers have been poached by your Imperial Academy. ”

"Alas, you can't say that, you can enter the Imperial Academy to study, but ordinary people don't have this kind of opportunity. ”

The old man was full of energy.

"This time, even my distressed granddaughter was abducted, if I knew that my granddaughter had been wronged in the academy, I would have to go to the academy in person to ask for someone. ”

Lan Li also made a joke.

"How could it be? With that girl's talent, the Imperial Academy will treat her as a treasure. ”

The old man laughed.

"Okay, let's stop talking, it's time to get down to business. ”

Seeing the village chief come out, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and more than 30 young boys and girls immediately lined up neatly, waiting to fall.

A shadow behind Lan Li walked into the queue, and Zihao also walked over slowly, not as excited as the others. Ling'er's expression was a little lonely, and she just glanced at Zi Xiao in a hurry, bowing her head in the queue, out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.

"Let's go in half an hour!"

Lan Li left a sentence and turned around to enter the Spirit Leader Headquarters again.

"It's as simple as that?"

Qingyuan grabbed Lan Li, who turned around and wanted to leave.

"Anyway, he's also the village chief of the Spirit Village, and these little guys don't say a few words before they leave?"

"It's just going through the motions, isn't that what you're best at?"

The village chief asked rhetorically, which made Qingyuan speechless.

After speaking, the village chief glanced at Zi Xiao intentionally or unintentionally, and Zi Xiao stared at Ling'er in a daze, Lan Li smiled meaningfully, and turned to enter the headquarters.

Qing Yuan simply said a few words of encouragement, such as "You will definitely become the elite of the academy, the pride of Yunfeng Kingdom" and the like. After the speech, everyone was given some time to say goodbye to their families.

The parents are reluctant to give up, and the children who are about to leave home are indeed excited, like young eagles who want to spread their wings and fly high.

Zihao still came back with a gloomy face, and when the phoenix saw Zihao's appearance, a nameless fire rose in her heart, grabbing Zihao's ears and pulling it over, it is estimated that she is the only one who says goodbye to her son like this.

Zi Xiao's eyes never took off Ling'er's body for a moment, and when he saw that Ling'er was about to go back to the headquarters, Zi Xiao ran directly over and grabbed Ling'er's slender hand and left the noisy crowd.

Zixiao's sudden action made Ling'er a little flustered, but she didn't resist after seeing the person coming, and let Zixiao pull herself, and when Zixiao stopped, the two came to the small lake in the village again.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?"

Letting go of Ling'er's little hand, Zi Xiao looked at the sparkling lake, his voice trembling a little.

Hearing this, Ling'er bit her lip and walked in front of Zixiao.

"No, I wanted to say goodbye to you, but I don't know what to do. ”

Suzuel tried to explain something.

"I don't know what to do, so think about it now. ”

Zi Xiao stared at Ling'er's eyes, and his tone seemed to be teasing.

Ling'er lowered her head, stared at Zi Xiao a little nervously, wrapped her hair around her index finger, and after a few seconds, a trace of struggle flashed on Ling'er's face, and she walked into Zi Xiao, so close that the two could hear each other's breathing. The girl's eyes were slightly closed, she stood on tiptoe, and her little face slowly approached Zixiao.

Zixiao didn't expect Ling'er to make such a move, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Zixiao could see Ling'er's slightly fluttering eyelashes, and it could be seen that Ling'er's heart was not calm, this was probably the boldest thing she had ever done.

Feeling Zi Xiao's snort, Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes, and kissed Zi Xiao lightly at the corner of her mouth like a dragonfly, and immediately wanted to retreat like a frightened rabbit, but Zi Xiao didn't intend to let it go, and took the girl into her arms, without waiting for the latter to react.

The girl's face was crimson, and she didn't struggle, she was probably looking forward to this hug in her heart, her hands slowly climbed up Zi Xiao's back, and her head was close to Zi Xiao's chest, feeling Zi Xiao's chaotic heartbeat

"I'll definitely go to you. ”

Zi Xiao whispered in Ling'er's ear.

Ling'er's arms tightened unconsciously, and the two of them quietly enjoyed this moment of warmth, as if a pair of beautiful people stood in the morning light, half an hour was too short for the two, and it was finally time to separate.

After all, it was a group of children, and there was no sadness of parting, except for Zihao and Ling'er, who were a little depressed, they all cheered, and their faces could not hide their excitement.

Adjacent to the entrance of the village, the barrier has already been opened, and the village chief has also come to see him off, after all, there is only such a good granddaughter as Ling'er. The group walked out of the barrier, and the people who saw them off had to stop there.

"Now say your official farewell to your loved ones, Soul Walker!"

Qingyuan issued an order to a group of boys and girls.

Surprisingly, there was no disturbance in the team, everyone made the same movement, the right hand clenched into a fist, placed in the position of the heart, the left arm was placed behind the waist, bowed the head, bent over, more than thirty people, the movements were uniform, but there was also a sense of solemnity, and the spirit people in the village who sent off also applied the same etiquette, except for Lan Li.

Lan Li had a pipe in his mouth, his eyes narrowing slightly, looking at these young spirits.

In the farewell crowd, most of the mothers had tears in their eyes, but the phoenix was only pleased to look at Zihao, if Zihao raised her head at this time, she would definitely find that her mother's gaze was surprisingly soft at this time.

"Rite over!"

Three seconds later, as Qingyuan's voice sounded, a group of people reversed the action just now, but when they looked up, the last action was made, and finally they stood upright at the same time.

Zi Xiao happened to collide with Ling'er's gaze, or rather, Zi Xiao's gaze never left Ling'er.

The girl stretched out her right hand, put the palm on her chest, and then stretched it forward, curled three fingers, the thumb and index finger were at 90 degrees, the palm was facing Zixiao, her eyes were full, there seemed to be pink tears, she smiled, and the flower moon was discolored.

And Zixiao also understands the girl's action, which means "waiting for you", but I don't know how long this waiting should be.
