In an instant, another year has passed, and the same year will have completely different perceptions and experiences for different people. For Lu Yifan, what he has learned and understood this year is more than what he has learned in the previous ten years combined, this is destined to be an extraordinary year for him, and it is also a year that has really experienced several life and death.
And for Lu Jun and the others who were in the Holy Soul Academy, this year's time was really like a white horse passing by, passing quickly in the day-long cultivation and almost the same stable days.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, last year's New Year was an eventful autumn for the Holy Soul Academy, the White Tiger Courtyard among the four major colleges was like a salary drawn from the bottom of the kettle, inexplicably killed a dean Qiu Qiong, and the largest force in the White Tiger Academy, Qingmen, also completely collapsed overnight, the dead in the Qingmen, the wounded, walked, and fled, this kind of great turmoil that is rare in the Holy Soul Academy for decades, also made last year's Chinese New Year's Eve night particularly impressive in the hearts of many students.
Compared with last year, this year's New Year is much more flat.
Different from the warmth of the south, the Holy Soul Academy is nearly 3,500 miles away from the nearest Wenyang Mountain, and this distance of 3,000 miles is enough to make the scenery here completely change compared to the southwest area.
If the winter in the southwest is more subtle, then the winter atmosphere here is more and more intense.
Since entering the lunar month, there will be goose feather snow here almost all day long, which makes the entire Holy Soul Academy also covered with a thick layer of silver, the unbearable cold and the goose feather snow flying all over the sky, which makes the already very comfortable college life more lazy, especially now that the end of the year has arrived, the practice secret room that is overcrowded on weekdays is now almost empty, and the students from all sides have cowered in their own territory, preparing good wine and food with great interest, ready to make a big splash tonight to celebrate this hard-won New Year's Festival。
And the most interesting thing is that in an inconspicuous courtyard in the mountain behind the college, powerful people from all walks of life in the college are flocking to visit today, some send wine and food, and some come here to make a special trip to greet them. From early morning to late afternoon, the courtyard was full of people and almost never stopped.
This courtyard, which can receive special attention from everyone, is now inhabited by Lu Jun, Lu Wencai and Luo Xiu. In fact, they have not always been so flattered throughout the year, on the contrary, for most of the past time, the three of them have often been secretly retaliated against by some radical Qingmen disciples, and the grievances and grievances between them and Qingmen have long been well-known in the Holy Soul Academy, but when this kind of contradiction becomes the norm, it will not attract people's special attention, and the students in the academy only regard the contradiction between them as a kind of excitement. And often at this time, the Tang Gate has become their most solid backer, Tang Ruoxi has been taking good care of Lu Jun and the three of them in accordance with Lu Yifan's instructions before leaving, so he has the blessing of the Tang Gate, plus Han Cheng, the master of the Han Gate of the Qinglong Academy, often stands up to act as a peacemaker, and then there has been no big trouble in the academy in the past year.
Interestingly, in the last month, this usually unnoticed courtyard has suddenly begun to attract attention. This kind of high-profile thing is actually not unfamiliar to this ordinary courtyard, which was born last year because of Lu Yifan, which once made this place a place of concern for the whole college. It's just that after a year of silence, this place has become a popular place in the academy again.
And the reason this time is also because of one person, and this person is still Lu Yifan, who is now outside the academy.
It's a long story, but it's simple. The so-called impermeable wall in the world, what Lu Yifan did in the southwest desert has already been spread in the Holy Soul Academy, especially after the news of the destruction of the Southwest Overlord Lou Zong more than a month ago, Lu Yifan, who was already famous in the Holy Soul Academy, was once again pushed to an almost legendary status by everyone.
Although these students don't know what Lou Zong's affairs are, but the legends have been more prominent since ancient times, so in several different versions of the story circulating in the academy, Lu Yifan is indeed worshiped as a god-like existence, and it is said that a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, but Lu Yifan's feat of making trouble in the southwest this time has become a legend and model in the hearts of many students who have heroic dreams all day long.
Therefore, the three Lu Jun who have the closest relationship with Lu Yifan in the academy, their reputation and status are naturally rising, and many people come here for nothing else, just to get acquainted with Lu Yifan in the future. What's more, he has already enshrined Lu Yifan as the god in his heart, and came here to try to persuade Lu Jun and the three to establish a new force in the name of Lu Yifan, and these people are willing to immediately fall under Lu Yifan's disciple.
This incident gave Lu Jun a headache, but he couldn't cry or laugh. Although Tang Ruoxi had secretly encouraged Lu Jun to do this, because this matter had not been nodded by Lu Yifan, no one dared to make a conclusion.
And the most direct reason why this place can be so crowded in the New Year is actually very simple, that is, the news that Lu Yifan is coming back from the southwest has now spread to all corners of the college, so now is the best time to come forward to give favors.
After sending away waves of guests, in the evening, Lu Jun and the three of them were already tired and collapsed on the chairs, and the three of them guarded a table of wine and food sent by others, and they couldn't raise their appetite at the moment.
At this moment, the sky outside the window has gradually darkened, and lively shouts and toasts have gradually sounded in the courtyards of the mountains behind the Holy Soul Academy, and the cold wind and heavy snow have not affected the interest of everyone in the Holy Soul Academy to celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
Obviously, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of all parties in the college has gradually kicked off.
"All day, people come and go, I don't know what they want to do?" Lu Wencai lazily half lay in the chair, staring at the snowy and moonlit night outside the window with a tired face, listening to the bursts of cheers and cheers coming from all directions, the sense of loss on his face was particularly obvious, "During the day, it is to deliver wine and food, why is it that when it is time to be lively at night, no one comes? There are three of us left alone, alas!"
"Okay, don't complain!"
Lu Jun, who had a serious face, glanced at Lu Wencai, who was full of unwillingness, with a serious face, who knew Lu Wencai's temperament best. Lu Wencai is a person who likes to join in the fun, so now he can only watch others drinking and chatting in groups, but the three of them can only nest in this room and guard a table of wine and food, and now even if he is allowed to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, it will become tasteless ash in his mouth.
"Don't complain, can I not complain?" Lu Wencai muttered angrily, "The people who entered the academy with us last year have basically all had their own destinations now, either entering the Han Gate, or entering the Qingmen, Yumen and the like, even the most unfortunate ones have gathered a vote of people to form some new forces by themselves. How come they come to us, and yet they have to live the same treatment as new students? Even worse than some freshmen! Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely......
"Have you said enough?" Before Lu Wen could finish his chatter, Lu Jun picked up a wild fruit from the table and threw it over, "What's wrong with us now, if you want to be lively, then you can go to the Tang Gate for a banquet by yourself! I don't think the Tang Sect Master will drive you out!"
"Go to the Tang Gate, what do you say? The Tang Gate is not our territory, what am I going to do as an outsider?" Lu Wencai complained, "You must know that a few days after Yifan left, the Tang Sect Master invited us to join the Tang Gate, and we were not rejected by you! Otherwise, ......."
"If we join the Tang Sect, how can we explain it when Big Brother Yifan comes back?" Luo Xiu, who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes and said resolutely, "Besides, Big Brother Yifan didn't agree, how can we join the Tang Sect without permission?"
"That's right, I just don't like to watch other people lively......" Lu Wencai also knew that he was at a loss, so his muttering voice gradually became a little sluggish.
"I don't know when Yifan and Ji Yuan will come back!" Lu Jun said lightly, "They didn't participate in the academy competition on the first day of February last year, which made that Cheng Yi out of the limelight, and I don't know if I can catch up with the ...... this year."
"Now that Cheng Yi has become the master of the Qingmen, the development of the Qingmen seems to be even faster than when Liu Qing was there!" Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Cheng Yi is now the darling of the White Tiger Courtyard, and the people with a little ability in the entire White Tiger Courtyard are all included in the Qingmen, which makes it difficult for some new forces to rise in the Qingmen now!"
"What's more than Qingmen?" Lu Wencai pursed his mouth and snorted coldly, "The Vermilion Bird Academy is not stable, it is said that Qin Qingyu's Feather Gate has almost all the students who have newly entered the Vermilion Bird Academy this year, and the Tang Gate, which was originally on par with the Feather Sect, is now not as good as day by day, and its status in the Vermilion Bird Academy is also getting worse, and the Tang Sect is about to be squeezed into a second-rate force." If it weren't for the Tang Sect Master's death, I'm afraid that the Tang Sect would have been squeezed out by the Yumen by now. ”
"That's right!" Lu Jun nodded and agreed, "Among the four major factions of the Holy Soul Academy, now the Qinglong Academy has Hancheng's Hanmen, the White Tiger Academy has Cheng Yi's Qingmen, and the Xuanwu Academy has Chu Ding's Chumen, they are all the dominant ones in their respective factions, and they can't already represent the strongest lineup of their respective factions." Now only in our Vermilion Bird Courtyard is Tang Ruoxi's Tang Gate and Qin Qingyu's Yu Gate are fighting against each other, and they don't obey each other. Qin Qingyu thought about it and wanted to completely suppress the Tang Sect, so that the Yu Sect could truly dominate in the Vermilion Bird Courtyard. And since the accident in Qingmen last year, the life of the Tang Gate has not been very good, and the owner of Tang Ruoxi has been even more entangled in many rumors because of his support for us against Qingmen, and it is even rumored that Liu Qing's death is inseparable from Tang Ruoxi. This made Tang Ruoxi's reputation and prestige plummet, not only were outsiders unwilling to join the Tang Sect again, but even traitors appeared within the Tang Sect, and the entire Tang Sect naturally became depressed day by day. Speaking of which, the gradual decline of the Tang Sect has nothing to do with us!"
"If it weren't for Han Cheng who has always been devoted to Tang Ruoxi, and has always used the power of Hanmen to support him behind his back, I'm afraid that Tang Men would have been squeezed out a long time ago!" Luo Xiu said helplessly, "Qin Qingyu failed to get his wish last year, after a year of painstaking cultivation, now Qin Qingyu's strength is definitely not to be underestimated, according to legend, he has reached the realm of the Nine Transformation Soul Master, which is even higher than the madman Mu Ming back then, after all, Qin Qingyu has really entered the top ten of the Holy Soul List now." A year has advanced by leaps and bounds, and on the latest Holy Soul List unveiled at the end of the year, Qin Qingyu ranks sixth on the list, two positions higher than Tang Ruoxi, who is eighth. And the new academy competition fifteen days later is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Qin Qingyu, as long as Yumen defeats Tang Ruoxi in one fell swoop in the competition, then Yumen will naturally become the number one force in the real Vermilion Bird Academy in the future. ”
"If that's the case, the Tang Gate will be finished!" Lu Wencai said with regret, for a beauty like Tang Ruoxi, Lu Wencai has always been very understanding of pity for jade.
"Now there is no master in the Tang Sect except Tang Ruoxi, no matter how strong Tang Ruoxi is, how many rounds of battle will she have?" Lu Jun said softly, "In my opinion, although the war has not started, the outcome has been decided." ”
"Bah, bah, bah, all the frustrating words, the Tang Sect is defeated, who are we counting on in the future?" Lu Wencai's eyes widened, and he complained loudly at Lu Jun.
"Count on whom, you might as well count on me!haha......"
Just when Lu Jun was about to quarrel with Lu Wencai again, a hearty laugh suddenly came in from the dark night outside the door, and when this sound came into the room, Lu Jun, Lu Wencai and Luo Xiu were stunned almost at the same time, and then a look of ecstasy suddenly emerged from the eyes of the three of them, and then the three of them could no longer care about the fatigue of the day, and rushed to the door happily, and suddenly slammed the closed door open.
And when the two doors were opened, several figures standing as straight as steel guns were already standing outside the door, and the three Lu Jun in the room before didn't even notice that someone had entered the hospital.
And the young man standing at the front of this group of people, dressed in a white shirt with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, is none other than Lu Yifan, who Lu Jun and the three of them have been thinking about for a long time. And at this moment, beside Lu Yifan, there were still four people standing with smiles on their faces: Han Ling'er, Ji Yuan, Liu Sandao and Xie Yun.
Lu Jun and the three of them stood in the room, and Lu Yifan and his party stood outside the room, and the two groups of people stood opposite each other across a threshold, their eyes intertwined with complex expressions that were difficult to describe in words, especially Lu Jun and the three of them were so excited that no one could say a word for a long time, even Lu Wencai, who had always kept his mouth open, was standing there with red eyes at the moment, looking at Lu Yifan blankly, his mouth opening and closing was just not making a sound.
Facing the scene in front of him, Lu Yifan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then asked jokingly, "What's the matter?"
In fact, Lu Jun and the three of them want to recognize it now but dare not admit it, because Lu Yifan, who has not seen him for a year, has changed too much, not to mention how strong his cultivation has become, just to say that the arrogant momentum of the superior person that he naturally emitted when he stood on that side is completely different from the momentum exuded by the hairy boy a year ago, it can be said that it is simply a judgment between the two.
In the past, Lu Yifan was immature, sharp, and sharp. And today's Lu Yifan is sophisticated, gentle, and sharp. In contrast, people can't help but feel sideways. This alone is enough to make Lu Jun and the three of them stunned for a long time.
"Yifan, these three are the good brothers you said on the road?" Liu Sandao looked at the stunned Lu Jun and the others, and couldn't help but laugh playfully, "What's wrong with them? Why do they look stupid ......"
"you, talk nonsense again!" Han Ling'er said angrily, "They're much smarter than you!"
Lu Yifan ignored Han Ling'er and Liu Sandao's bickering, just looked at Lu Jun and the three of them with a smile, stood there without saying a word, and opened his arms slightly, as if he wanted Lu Jun and the three of them to see themselves clearly.
"Lu Jun, Wencai, Luo Xiu......"
"Yifan!"
"Big Brother Yifan!"
Without waiting for Lu Yifan's greeting to finish, Lu Jun and the three of them rushed over as if they had suddenly woken up, shouting excitedly, and hugged Lu Yifan tightly in the blink of an eye.
"Yifan, you're back!"
"Brother Yifan, we miss you so much......"
"A Fan ......"
The three of them hugged Lu Yifan tightly, and Lu Yifan also hugged them, and Lu Wencai, who was full of feelings, was the first person to cry out again, only to see him hugging Lu Yifan and crying, just like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances and finally saw his relatives, crying both sad and happy. Infected by Lu Wencai's crying, Lu Jun and Luo Xiu couldn't help their red eyes anymore and shed tears. At the same time, Lu Jun also pulled Ji Yuan over and let him hug a few people.
Although Lu Yifan did not cry bitterly, his heart was undoubtedly full of emotion, and now he and Ji Yuan were both red eyes to greet the excitement from Lu Jun and the three of them, the five of them had entered the Holy Soul Academy together, and they were also the first best friends and brothers to enjoy happiness and hardship together. Now goodbye, the relationship is still the same.
After a year of separation, although the time is not long, the concern and longing for each other is the most precious feeling......
