"What are you going to do?"

On the side of the broken bridge, Wei Wucheng Xia Fan asked.

"Honestly, I don't know. Xia Fan squatted in front of the rift valley and looked at the cliff opposite—the visual distance between the two sides was about fifteen meters, which was not an insurmountable moat. When everyone found out that what Luo Qingqing said was true, and there were really wooden kites in the cave, their mentality eased a lot, at least they were no longer as manic as before.

After all, it is important to be able to save your life, although it is a pity to fail this time, but there are repeated defeats in the imperial examination, and there is no need to force you to pass the exam, so it is a big deal to come back in three years.

For Xia Fan, three years meant that the time to understand this world would be much later, not to mention that he had already obtained a bottle of spiritual fire source, as long as he held on for two more days, he could pass the level, if it was not a last resort, he didn't want to stop there. But the problem is that he can't tell if it's a "last resort" now.

He knew too little information about what the Great Wild Night was manifesting, and what the dangers were and how to deal with them, that it was difficult to make effective analysis and judgment.

One thing is for sure, the taxi examination was created to screen the best talents, and it was not a "death game", which meant that there were means or methods in the town that could survive the night. But does that need to be done by several people or by one person? What are the requirements for talent and magic? If you insist on staying without knowing anything about it, you are undoubtedly leaving your life to the heavens to decide.

He never forgot that the Privy Council was a high-risk department, and that it sounded reasonable to have a casualty quota for the exam. Even the cheap master has repeatedly told that dealing with evil is a serious matter, and I am afraid that the Great Wilderness Night is not the evil of evil, and it is normal to fold in it without paying attention.

"Brother Xia...... Why don't you quit with me? Wei Wushuang hesitated and said, "I know that Brother Tai's ability is much higher than mine, and it is only a matter of time before he is admitted to the Privy Council. In this case, it's nothing to be three years late, you look at those children of the family, they don't plan to hold on. ”

Judging from the people who followed Luo Qingqing, the number of candidates who had a tendency to give up was about two hundred, counting the hundreds of people who had been eliminated before, the number had exceeded three-quarters of the reference candidates, and there were many disciples of the family. And in the remaining quarter, there must still be many hesitants, which means that most people choose to avoid the possible great wilderness night.

I have to say that this is the common thinking of normal people - exams are not worth risking their lives.

At the same time, it also hinted at a possibility: not only was there a risk on the last day of the exam, but it was not small, so that the three families could not shelter all the reference disciples, otherwise they would not have arranged for the evacuation of their fellow disciples. After all, if you want to talk about the understanding of the Great Wilderness Night, there should be no one among the people present who can compare to the Luo family, and their decision-making can already explain many problems.

However, on the other hand, less than half of the people who are determined to stay in Qingshan Town have been decided, and according to the pass rate of nearly 50% in the past, it means that as long as they stay, the probability of passing the taxi examination will be doubled.

This really made Xia Fan in a dilemma.

"Let me think again," he exhaled after a long thought, "it will take at least half a day to build a flying table, and it will not be too late to decide tomorrow." You can queue up first and try to get there early. ”

Seeing this, Wei Wushuang couldn't continue to persuade, so he nodded silently.

Xia Fan knew very well in his heart that even if he wanted to leave, he would have to wait until there was no one to go quietly - after all, in addition to him, there was a fox demon in the room who couldn't move. If he walks with the fox demon in front of everyone, he will be greeted by the prison of the Privy Council.

After leaving his fellow villagers for a while, Xia Fan returned to the hotel.

Opening the door of the room, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The candle was lit at some point, and there was a sitting figure at the head of the bed.

Li woke up.

......

"If I were you, I wouldn't be moving until I have healed from a serious injury. ”

Xia Fan walked to the side of the bed and noticed that the other party's face was flushed, and fine sweat was coming out of the corners of her forehead, obviously a simple action of sitting up with her body consumed a lot of her energy.

"I'm a demon, not a human, and I'm not as fragile as you......"

The tone was still as caustic as before, but the faint tone of voice revealed the actual condition of his body.

Xia Fan pursed his lips, climbed on the table and opened the window, and the bright sunlight suddenly poured into the room.

The fox demon subconsciously covered his head, "What are you going to do?" There was a rare hint of panic in his voice.

"Allowing air to circulate and a ventilated room is more suitable for patient recovery. He looked at the other party with interest—it was obviously the ears that Li had just blocked, and considering that he already knew her identity, this was undoubtedly a reflex action. "It's not the first time I've seen it, there's nothing to hide. Besides, I think it's funny, at least not ugly. ”

Li reacted before he slowly lowered his hand, frowned dissatisfiedly, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

"It's true, believe it or not. ”

Xia Fan lifted the quilt as he spoke, checking the other party's injuries, but this time the fox demon did not show any resistance. Compared to close contact, she seems to mind her appearance more.

There was blood oozing from the bandage, which was probably caused by her moving her body without permission, but the amount of blood was nothing compared to the wound across her abdomen. It's not the kind of hemorrhage that can soak through clothes, which is already good news.

It only took a day and a half to regain consciousness and stop the expansion and deterioration of the injury, and Li's previous words were not a bluff.

If it were human, it would have been cold a long time ago.

"Don't move if you're fine, just lie down and rest. Xia Fan pressed her body again, "I'll reapply the medicine again in the evening, and change the bandage by the way." Of course, the pain is inevitable, but you can stick to the stitches, and changing the dressing shouldn't be a problem-"

"Why?" Li interrupted him in a low voice.

"What?" Xia Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Why...... You want to save me?" she repeated after a long pause.

"What's this strange problem, you don't need any special reason to save a cooperative partner, right?"

He actually said partner?

Li was stunned for a moment, it was the first time she had heard a human call herself that.

"You...... What do you want from me?"

No, no, she can't be confused by a name, people's actions are driven by interests, and this has nothing to do with the nature of the mind, but the essence of people.

"That's too much. Xia Fan shrugged.

This answer also surprised Li, she thought that the other party would continue to cover it up, but she didn't expect to say it directly.

Li endured the painful wound and took a breath, "Tell me about it?"

"It's pretty much the same as before, it's mostly chatting. But I want to continue the cooperation, preferably for a long time, because there are so many questions to know about that a day or two is not enough. ”

Li was stunned, she was a little suspicious of her ears for a while, this person has no problem with his head, right? If she understands correctly, a person who aspires to become a monk would actually want to establish a long-term relationship with the demon - does this guy know that he is going to serve in the Privy Council in the future?

Considering that he dared to say the absurd words of "using understanding to eliminate prejudice and then popularizing it among the Fang Shi group", maybe his head is really a little abnormal.

"No, I can't. She flatly refused.

"Why?"

"I want revenge on the Privy Council, and you are the Privy Council's alchemist, and sooner or later we will become enemies. ”

"What is the revenge?"

"My master...... "Lai's voice lowered, "she has been captured by the Privy Council." ”

"But you clearly said that you don't have a master. Xia Fan said curiously.

"Because she has never accepted a disciple, and she is not allowed to call her Master. In fact, I didn't even know her real name. But......" she paused, "since I realized something, I have always regarded her as a master. ”

"She's human?"

Li nodded.

"Is it because you're with the demon?" No...... Xia Fan quickly refuted this speculation, "If that's the case, they should arrest you first, but according to you, the Privy Council doesn't seem to be coming for you." ”

"It's not, they don't even know I exist. ”

"Mourning...... After all, people can't be resurrected after death, and I understand how you want to take revenge, but what will your master think? Does she really want you to take revenge?" Xia Fan decided to use his years of experience in being poisoned to launch a chicken soup for the soul offensive, "After all, your opponent is the Privy Council, it is not too much to describe it as an egg hitting a stone, I think your master wants you to live well more than dying at the hands of the enemy." Even if you succeed in revenge, you will only get emptiness. People are alive, the most important thing is to be happy, do you want me to give you a ...... Forget it, there's no noodles here. ”

"What are you talking about?" Li looked at him with a strange expression, "Who told you that my master is dead?"

"Ahem-" Xia Fan almost choked, "Not dead?"

"Master had expected this day for a long time, but it just made me forget about her, as if I had never seen her before. The Privy Council will not endanger her life, it will only allow her to never see the light of day again. As for keeping me alive...... Master said the same thing as you. She bit her lip, "But how can I forget all those years? If I discard this memory, I will be no different from death, so I will take revenge on the Privy Council and save the Master from their hands!"

Due to his agitation, Li finally coughed violently, and a trace of blood foamed from the corner of his mouth.

Xia Fan gently patted her on the back, and waited for her to calm down before asking, "When was your master arrested?"

“...... Eight years ago. ”

Yes, she had been to the taxi exam room more than once.

"Have you ever thought that those might just be your master's words of comfort?" Xia Fan tried to persuade in a gentle tone, "After all, so much time has passed, even if you didn't die at that time, you may not be safe and sound now." If the Privy Council wants to arrest her, there is always a holiday between the two sides, and since it falls into the hands of the enemy, the end will definitely not be too good. You know the prison of the Yamen, right? Ordinary prisoners are thrown into it, and within a few months they will not be human. ”

"My master is not an ordinary prisoner. ”

"I'm afraid that the tricky prisoner will be even more miserable—"

"Before she met me, she was the green sword of the Privy Council. ”

"That's probably not going to be spared...... Wait a minute," Xia Fan was stunned, "What are you talking about? Your master used to be from the Privy Council, and what is Qingjian?"

"The green sword is second only to the feather coat, which is equivalent to the six second-rank officials. Li said slowly, "Master didn't commit any crimes, she just defected from the Privy Council. ”
