Chapter 7: The Boundaries Between Friend and Foe

Every time the big exam season of the Yuding Dynasty is the most lively time in the imperial city.

Countless candidates from all over the world have gathered in this ancient and prosperous city.

The big exam of the Yuding Dynasty was held every five years.

All candidates who have passed the big exam will be sent to the Gyeonggi area by the local government through the teleportation circle.

After all, the territory of the Yuding Dynasty is too vast.

For candidates who live in remote areas, if they follow the normal way of traveling, they will not know the Year of the Monkey before they can reach the Imperial City.

What's more, the journey may not be smooth sailing, and often if you fail to reach the imperial city, you may die due to various accidents.

You must know that these candidates are all future pillars of the future in the eyes of the Yuding Dynasty.

So much so that the Yuding Dynasty will do its best to arrange these candidates to ensure that these candidates can go to Beijing safely for the big exam.

Of course.

It cannot be ruled out that the Yuding Dynasty has the idea of buying people's hearts.

With the big exam approaching.

The Imperial City is on high alert in case someone takes advantage of the big exam to make waves.

"Big bad guy, are you really going to take that boring big test?"

In the courtyard of an ordinary house in the inner city of the Imperial City.

The little flower cat was lazily lying on the stone table basking in the sun, she tilted her head, and looked at Xia Fan who was sitting on a rocking chair and leisurely looking at the books in front of her.

She really couldn't figure it out.

Someone can be so bored that way.

Who is Xia Fan?

Not to mention anything else, just his strength.

If the Yuding Dynasty knew that his strength would inevitably be treated as a guest as soon as possible, why bother to participate in that boring big exam! Isn't this idle and panicked?

Originally, the big examination of the Yuding Dynasty was used to screen talents.

And people like Xia Fan don't need to be assessed at all.

It's like corporate recruitment.

For elites who have proven themselves in the industry, companies often recruit directly or actively poach, and there is no need to go through the recruitment process at all.

It's just that Xia Fan wants to choose an unusual path.

"Isn't it boring? But I don't think it's boring at all. ”

Who knew that Xia Fan was absent-minded.

"Life always has to try different things to be worthwhile, just as I thought the big exam was interesting, I took it, it's as simple as that. ”

“...... It's really a confusing guy, and besides, aren't you afraid that this king will sneak away while you're taking the big exam?"

Little Flower Cat wagged its fluffy tail and said.

"Don't forget that this is the Imperial City of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, even if you escape? And you don't think you can really escape, do you?"

Xia Fan suddenly glanced at the little flower cat with a smile and said.

"Cut! The king just said it casually. ”

The little flower cat snorted lightly, turned her head and ignored Xia Fan.

Xia Fan was right.

Did she escape?

Unless someone came to her rescue, she didn't want to escape from Xia Fan's clutches.

Again.

She is now imprisoned, and she is a mortal enemy demon in the eyes of mankind.

Once she accidentally exposed herself, she didn't even have the strength to defend herself and resist in the face of powerful human cultivators.

Although Little Flower Cat doesn't like Xia Fan, the big bad guy at all.

But she had to admit it.

At the moment, staying by Xia Fan's side is the safest, except that there is no freedom.

"I'm out playing!"

Moment.

The little flower cat got up from the stone table and jumped down, and shouted at Xia Fan at the same time.

"Don't run far. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand absentmindedly.

Say it's not free.

Actually came to the Imperial City.

Xia Fan basically didn't restrict the freedom of the little flower cat too much.

On weekdays, she is allowed to wander around at will, as long as she doesn't run too far.

And the little flower cat also did not dare to run too far.

Although it is true that this area is full of residential houses, it is difficult to guarantee that you will meet a passing master and find yourself.

It would be bad if the other party found out the real body and captured it.

After leaving the courtyard by climbing the eaves of the mountain with ease.

The little cat wanders aimlessly from house to house.

Xia Fan has been moving in for a short time after buying this house.

The surrounding neighbors gradually knew that Xia Fan, a young man who lived in a simple house like a handsome son, was the son of a wealthy family who went to Beijing to take the exam.

Occasionally, when Xia Fan goes out.

They greeted each other in person.

In the eyes of the neighbors.

The polite Xia Fan left a good impression on everyone.

What's more, there are many locals in Xia Fan's mansion.

When I go out to buy, I often chat with my neighbors about Xia Fan.

Every time I mention Xia Fan.

The servants all said that the other party was worthy of everyone's background.

The attitude towards them as a servant is very good, and they are not mean at all.

About the fact that this son has a cat, the neighbors naturally know.

So every time I see a little flower cat running around.

The neighbors will restrain their children not to play with and catch the little cat.

Some kind neighbors once wanted to greet and feed the little flower cat.

As a result, the little flower cat glanced at the other party arrogantly and left.

The look in his eyes was like saying.

Oh, stupid mortals.

Naturally, Xia Fan is not the only family that has cats.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have cats in this area.

Often, the neighbors will see an interesting scene.

It was in a nearby overgrown clearing.

It is not uncommon to see the little flower cat staying with a large group of cats, and the little flower cat is like the leader of the group.

"What stupid! a bunch of unwitted idiots!"

Every time the little flower cat slips out, it's not just for fun.

After moving from Xia Fan.

In a short period of time, the little flower cat took all the nearby cats for her own use.

Pity.

These unenlightened cats often have a hard time completing the things that the little flower cat explains.

Recent.

She had been ordering the cats to find a man, while constantly expanding her cat-cat power in the Imperial City.

And the person she is looking for is her eldest lady.

Get along day and night for many years.

How the little flower cat doesn't understand the character of the eldest lady.

Where there is liveliness.

The eldest lady likes to go where to make up!

Now that the big exam of the Yuding Dynasty is approaching, there is a mysterious demon clan master who has infiltrated the palace, which is obviously involved in the conspiracy of the demon clan's high-level leaders.

As expected, it's not bad.

The eldest lady who sneaked out is bound to appear in the imperial city.

Just right.

She has a unique way of finding the eldest lady.

No matter how well the eldest lady hides it, she can't hide it.

However, these unenlightened cats have limited understanding, and have not found any clues about the eldest lady so far.

"Uncle Gong, are you sure that Qiqi really came to the Imperial City?"

Meanwhile.

In a richly decorated restaurant.

A delicate and lovely bright girl rested her cheek with one hand and looked thoughtfully out of the window.

"Returning to Miss, the old man can be sure that the mark left on Qiqi's body will finally disappear in the imperial city. ”

Side.

An old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life said with a solemn expression.

The old man suspected that Qiqi might have fallen into the hands of the Demon Division, and now she was imprisoned in the prison at the headquarters of the Demon Division. ”

"I remember that Dou Yao and Xia Mingyuan once appeared in the Wuheng Mountain Range of Donghai County, and the Wuheng Mountain Range is where Qiqi disappeared. "Chinese

The pretty girl said in a calm tone.

"So it's normal for Uncle Gong to suspect that Qiqi was captured by the Demon Division, but I can tell Uncle Gong for sure that Qiqi did not fall into the hands of the Demon Division. ”

"Did Miss Fei find anything else?"

The old man said in a deep voice.

"The shadow son of the Demon Suppression Division told me that since Dou Yao and Xia Mingyuan came back from the Wuheng Mountain Range, Xia Mingyuan has been secretly investigating someone. ”

The pretty girl suddenly showed a mysterious smile.

"Who?"

The old man hurriedly asked.

"Uncle Gong, someone you also know. ”

The pretty girl said slowly.

"His name is Xia Fan. ”

Xia Fan...... The old man remembered! It's the guy who dares to be disrespectful to the young lady!"

The old man silently muttered Xia Fan's name, and gritted his teeth with his eyebrows upside down.

Soon.

He regained his composure.

"Miss, do you suspect that Qiqi's disappearance is related to the other party?"

"I'm not sure about it~ But my intuition tells me that Qiqi's disappearance has a lot to do with that man. ”

The pretty girl smiled.

"If Qiqi falls into the hands of that man, with that man's character, there is a high probability that Qiqi will be fine. ”

“...... Miss, people are always changing. ”

Uncle Gong was silent for a moment, seemingly reminding him intentionally or unintentionally.

It is true that people change, but there are some inner essences that do not change. ”

The pretty girl raised her eyebrows.

"Uncle Gong, why don't we make a bet. ”

"Bet on what?"

Uncle Gong frowned.

"Just bet that Qiqi won't have an accident in that man's hands, if I bet right, please Uncle Gong stop nagging me to go back. ”

The pretty girl turned her head to look at the old man and smiled.

"Miss, the old man doesn't want to nag you, this time the old man is ordered by His Majesty to take you back!"

Uncle Gong shook his head and sighed lightly.

"Daddy, I have my own explanation, Uncle Gong don't worry. ”

The pretty girl winked mischievously.

"Miss......"

on this.

Uncle Gong couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"Okay, okay!

The pretty girl clapped directly.

Completely ignored Uncle Gong's opinion.

"Alas......"

A long sigh.

Uncle Gong also no longer dwells on this topic.

Their expressions gradually became serious.

"Miss, the old man only hopes that you will promise me one thing. ”

"Let's talk about it~"

The pretty girl still smiled.

"The old man implores the young lady not to act rashly in the imperial city this time!"

Uncle Gong said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'm in charge of everything!"

The pretty girl waved her hand and said disapprehantly.

Discretion......

I heard the young lady say that.

Uncle Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

If she was really measured, she wouldn't have sneaked out.

"By the way, Miss, since you talked about that man, do you think the other party is in this imperial city now?"

Maybe something came to mind.

Uncle Gong's expression instantly turned right.

"If my guess is correct, he is indeed in this imperial city now. ”

The smile on the pretty girl's face was even worse.

"Miss, if the other party is really in this imperial city, the old man hopes that you will not provoke him again this time, whether it is for you or for the sake of Qiqi's child. ”

Uncle Gong said as such.

"Back then, he had the strength to rival the demon king before he lost the news, and now that he has reappeared, it is difficult to guarantee that he already has the realm of the Great Sage, if this is the case, even the old man will feel tricky against him at that time. ”

"Uncle Gong, you think too much, why do you think I will provoke him?"

The pretty girl smiled.

"All the miracles shown by that man are obvious to all, from an ordinary supreme master in the Nether Realm to a man who has resounded in Dongming Continent now, I have seen his growth, as long as he does not fall, he will inevitably have a share of the supreme seat in this world in the future. ”

"It's good that Miss has a plan. ”

Uncle Gong still nodded solemnly.

"But miss, do you think he'll meddle in the future war between our race and humanity?"

"No, it won't. ”

The pretty girl restrained her smile and shook her head.

"Why is Miss so sure?"

Uncle Gong wondered.

"He seems to like to be nosy, but he doesn't care about everything, sometimes you think he's stupid, sometimes you think he's pure, sometimes you think he's superior, sometimes you think he's approachable, if this is his nostalgic world, I'm sure he won't hesitate to interfere in the war between our race and humans, but our world has left him with too many bad impressions, whether it's our demon race or humans have offended him, so do you think he still has a reason to interfere in our worldNo, not only will he not interfere, but he even wishes that we would fight as much as possible with humans!"

The pretty girl said slowly.

“...... Miss, you really know him!"

Uncle Gong glanced at the pretty girl deeply and said.

"It's rare to meet an interesting person over the years, so it's inevitable to learn more about it. ”

The pretty girl said disapprerovingly.

"Unfortunately, he's no longer the fun guy I used to be able to play around. ”

Once upon a time.

When Xia Fan's strength was low.

No matter how she teased Xia Fan, she didn't have to have any worries and concerns.

But this is no longer the case.

When he grew old enough to threaten his own safety.

She no longer had any idea of teasing the other party.

Because she knows Xia Fan's personality very well.

Maybe others will be jealous of their identity, but he will not.

provoked the other party.

Xia Fan will definitely kill you recklessly, saying that if you kill you, you will be killed.

back then.

For the sake of a few mortals, he dared to start a war against the major sects of Nanli Continent, and even did not hesitate to wash the elite disciples of the various sects of Nanli Continent with blood.

back then.

For a promise.

He dared to fight with many great demon kings at the expense of blood.

In the end, he almost ended up with the same fate.

In the face of such unreasonable "madmen".

Nature is as far away as it is.

He would be a good friend.

But he is also a most intractable enemy.

So far.

The chances of her wanting to get back together with each other are slim.

Who let himself tease each other fiercely back then.

Future encounters.

He didn't say a word and killed himself, which was already the best result.

If you can't be a friend.

She didn't want to be the enemy.

After all.

She loves to play and make trouble.

It doesn't mean that she really has a problem with her brain.

Otherwise, even if she is the daughter of the Demon Emperor, I am afraid she will not be able to live in peace until now.
