"It's nice to be home!"

After the group entered Shuichang City, they walked on the quaint street paved with bluestone, smelling the familiar smell of the city, and Zhang Hao was in an indescribably comfortable mood. And Jin Yun'er, who followed behind her, was covered with frost, and the cold glow that burst out from time to time after her eyes fell on the former, making the old man and the fat man next to him tremble all the way.

Seeing that he had arrived at Zhongping College, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, Zhang Hao stepped on his feet and looked at the seemingly empty academy in the gate from a distance, he turned his head a little puzzled: "What day is today? Why is there more than half of the people now, and even Zhongping Academy is quiet?"

"Could it be that I haven't come back for two years, and the academy has closed down?" the fat man hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and after looking around, he also said with some wonder.

"Fat brother, can't you burst out of your mouth with a good word?" Zhang Hao's brows twitched, and he immediately walked towards the duty room at the entrance of the academy.

Walking to the door of the duty, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the flatbread placed on the side of the house, the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth curled up a little smile, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the sleeping uncle lying on the table in the duty room, and he gently knocked on the glass next to the door.

Seeing the sleepy-eyed uncle on duty open the glass, Zhang Hao leaned over and asked, "Uncle, what's going on today?

Being woken up from a sweet dream, the uncle on duty was full of displeasure, looked up at Zhang Hao, and said impatiently: "The academy friendship competition has been held in four realms one after another, which has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the students for cultivation. Since this year, the reorganization has been implemented, and the friendship competition has been changed to an annual event, which has been combined with the ninth grade graduation party. It has almost become an annual event in Shuichang City. It attracted a lot of high-level executives from Shili. This has been going on for six days. Tomorrow is Zuihou day. ”

"Huh"

"Eh," the old man had just finished speaking. Pull the window shut and lie down on the table again. Seeing this, Zhang Hao shook his head a little helplessly, and just turned his head to see the fat man's fat head full of excitement.

"Brother, you don't walk without a sound, right?" patted his heart with some palpitations, Zhang Hao turned around and walked to Jin Yan'er and Old Man Zan to explain the general situation.

Next, the fat man sees. Jin Yun'er said a few words with a stiff face, and then turned around and left first. And Zhang Hao beckoned the old man towards the gate of the academy.

"Senior, let's go back and rest first. Stay in the evening and try my mother's cooking skills. Walking into the courtyard door, Zhang Hao smiled while stretching out his hand and pointing in the direction of residence.

"Isn't that girl Xiaoyan coming along?" was pulled by Zhang Hao's arm, seeing that a good show that was about to open was not completed, the old man turned his head from time to time to look at Jin Yan'er's back, and said boringly.

"Yan'er hasn't returned to Shuichangcheng for two years, saying that she will go back to see it first and come back to the academy tomorrow. Zhang Hao smiled. Didn't think much about it.

"That's okay. But I've been looking forward to it all the way. The old man suddenly opened his face, and his words made Zhang Hao confused.

"Mouse. Are you going in the opposite direction? The social competition was held in the square of the East Courtyard. ”

missed the first friendship game, and once I inquired about it later, the fat man's intestines were all repentant. He is not like Zhang Hao on weekdays, he is just doing penance with his head bored, and he hasn't even taken the academy classes a few times. Although he used to study at the bottom of the class, but with Ma Lao Er, the two of them almost got a rough idea of the situation in the lower grades in half a year, and even a few beautiful girls in any class can report them one by one.

The friendship competition, as a major way for Zhai Qing to stimulate the cultivation of students, in order to improve its influence, naturally received the full support of the academy. You must know that in the past, the annual graduation party was not only a farewell to a class of graduates, but also the best means to show the strength of Zhongping College and enhance its prestige, so it has always been the most important activity of the college. And now that the friendship competition is connected with it, it is naturally even more eye-catching.

It is conceivable that at this grand event, people who are rarely seen on weekdays or who practice outside will appear, and these people all have a high reputation in the academy, and there is no shortage of all kinds of admirers. Moreover, the annual graduation event of each college will attract many shili to come. Although Zhongping Academy ranked last among the four major academies of the Tianshui Empire, and the number of talents it sent was far less than that of the other three academies, on the contrary, it attracted the most people. Because, after all, there are only a few super shili in the empire, such as the four major families, and ninety-eight percent of them are some second- and third-rate shili who are limited to one or several cities, and they value and cherish more to summon talents below the legendary level.

In the face of this extremely grand event in front of him, how could the fat man be willing to miss it? So at this moment, he caught up with Zhang Hao in small steps and said, "Mouse, don't forget, we only took seven months off when we left. It's been two years now, and your promise didn't count?"

"Promise?" frowned slightly, Zhang Hao did not stop, but a little confusion flashed in his heart.

"Is this kid lacking in heart? At that time, you promised Teacher Sun that you would come back in seven months, and you would win the championship of the sixth to ninth grades of the friendship competition, and let her directly become the first-level champion tutor of the college.

"Click"

The next moment, Zhang Hao's footsteps also stopped, and after a while, he said with relief: "I promised to come back in seven months." It's been two years now, and it stands to reason that it should be the second friendship competition. Besides, I'm not interested in messing around with those hairy kids. ”

It's not that Zhang Hao said that he is old, although he has lost two years of college life. But the polishing between life and death in the past two years has made his heart change a lot, and he is more calm and calm than before. Even an old fox like Pan Yun died under his hands, and then he went back to worry about these young boys and girls who grew up in greenhouses, Zhang Hao didn't have that kind of mind and idle time at all. At this time, his biggest hope is to go home soon and see his mother.

"I'll take a look, after Mr. Sun learned the news of your return, he grabbed your ears when he arrived, and you still won't go!" Seeing that he was agitated for a long time. Zhang Hao was still indifferent. The fat man's words were full of threats.

Ignore the whining of the fat man behind him. Zhang Hao led the way in front, and a familiar courtyard appeared in front of him in a short time, and at the moment he took two steps forward with excitement on his face, and directly pushed open the door: "Mother, I'm back with the fat brother!"

After a word, he raised his eyes and swept around the delicacy in the courtyard that had hardly changed much, Zhang Hao strode into the courtyard door and shouted again: "Mother." I'm back!"

"Boy, stop shouting. There was no one in the courtyard. Walking into the courtyard, looking around, and finally his eyes fell on a cluster of bamboo forests on the far side, the old man nodded slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with the elegant and simple environment in the courtyard.

"Look, what did the fat brother say? With such a big event in the academy, Bing Yao and Sister Yurou must be afraid that Zhao Niang and them will be bored at home, so they will go to watch the game. Let's take a walk, let's go and see the excitement. "Seeing that everyone is not there. The fat man's mind suddenly became active, and he hurriedly said.

In a blink of an eye, I caught a glimpse of the look of Xiyi on the fat man's face. Knowing that the other party couldn't wait to stand out in the competition, Zhang Hao shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yan'er once said that this kid of yours is different from those geniuses in other families. Now, it does seem to be a little different. Go ahead, young people should be a little domineering, how can there be an illusionist who cultivates all day long, leaving all the beautiful scenery outside? While you are young, you might as well do something wild and uninhibited, and it will be interesting to recall it in the future. I haven't heard of the strong people who are now famous in Dalu, which one of them is low-key all the way. ”

The old man picked up the kettle on the edge of the stone platform beside him, walked to the edge of the flower pond, and said while watering the flowers in the pool: "Besides, the glory is at ease with the individual, and if you don't care, it doesn't mean you don't need it." Don't let down the expectations of others around you, and prove to them that your growth in the past two years may not be a good thing. ”

Savoring the old man's profound words, after a while, Zhang Hao said with some realization: "Senior, you are not together"

Waving his hand slightly, the old man smiled and said: "The old man is used to being quiet alone, and if he goes to such an occasion, maybe he will have an old acquaintance again, and trouble is indispensable." I'll just stay here for a while and wait for you to come back. ”

"Senior, you play by yourself for a while, and when you come back later, Xiaopang will accompany you to have a good drink or two. Seeing this, the fat man grabbed Zhang Hao's arm and walked out of the house in a hurry

Since Zhai Qing personally went out of the mountain, the entire Zhongping Academy has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only has the atmosphere of the entire college been greatly improved, but even the team of tutors has been strengthened a lot. It has been passed on by word of mouth for two years, and because of Zhang Hao's reasons, the Zhang family and the royal family have tried their best to support it, and their prestige in the empire has also risen. After all, although the most important thing for students to be in the academy is the instructor, they also value the learning environment. There are many talents in the three colleges, and the relationship is very complicated, and some people with unstable backgrounds will never have a good time staying in them. In addition, Zhongping Academy has introduced a summoning divine master from the royal family and five holy masters of the Zhang family to live in successive years, as well as three holy masters recruited by Zhai Qing one after another, and successively introduced the policy that the ultimate divine soul talents are eligible for the auxiliary guidance of the dean and divine master, which really attracted many talented talents during this period.

This year's grand event of Zhongping College is indeed much grander than the previous two years due to the joint with the graduation meeting. Although the East Courtyard had previously prepared a competition plaza, the fraternity tournament was increasingly popular with the Academy, and the previous venue was always a bit narrow. Therefore, under the auspices of Zhai Qing, the land was doubled. The whole square is in the shape of a circle, surrounded by a cascade of stone steps that continue to spread, and those sitting in it can clearly see the scene on the raised stone platform in the center of the square.

At this time, Zhang Hao and the fat man finally squeezed from the outer crowd to the entrance on the high platform, and under looking around, Zhang Hao's brows twitched fiercely. Although the noise that reached into the sky was heard on the outside, it was a sign that the square was extremely crowded. But at this time, he realized that he still greatly underestimated the scale of this grand event.

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

As far as the eye can see, the entire surrounding stands are full of black heads, and even the aisles interspersed between the stone steps are full of students in school uniforms. Faced with this crowded scene, the fat man was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

On the right side of the square, there is an extended black stone platform surrounded by a railing, on which more than 20 people sit side by side, and this position in the whole field seems a little empty, quite a bit of a stand out from the crowd. The people sitting on it naturally became the focus of the audience.

After glancing slightly, after seeing the familiar old face on the right side of the black stone platform, the fat man grabbed Zhang Hao, directly turned into a cannonball, crushed the crowd, and rushed over (to be continued......
