Chapter Sixty-Nine: Flowers and Rain in the Wind I
"Hmm......"
Ye Hengyuan rubbed his eyes, lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up from the bed. He quickly got dressed and pulled back the curtains that hung down to the side of the bed.
The sky was not yet dawn, and the air was full of black and gray, like a pot of paste. Looking out of the window, only the faint shadows of a few small hills around the barracks could be seen. In general, it is difficult for a person who has just woken up to distinguish a light gray from a large mass of black and gray. There is no natural light source in the sky, let alone the moon, and even stars the size of sesame seeds cannot be seen. The wind was still blowing, but not as strong as last night, and there was little wind to hear through the window. Slogans and footsteps were already ringing. Some of the sounds were made by the guards handing over the posts, and some of the sounds were made by the soldiers and non-commissioned officers who were doing morning exercises on the training ground.
Ye Hengyuan pushed open the door and walked out of the room. He was going to go up to the roof of the building to practice for a while before dawn. The rooms that the Joint Command arranged for him and his companions were spare dormitories for the General Staff, and they were not given special care because of their special status. He had observed that the roof of the staff dormitory was flat-roofed, which was very suitable for cultivation. Windy weather is especially suitable for him.
He walked to the door of the room opposite the cold room and knocked twice, but received no response. The room where Li Wenxin lived was at the end of the corridor, closest to the training ground. Looking through the window at the end of the hallway, you can see a dozen faint clusters of light of different colors lit up on the training ground.
"Brother Leng is also quite diligent, huh?" he smiled faintly and walked to the staircase.
Leng Han stood on the edge of the roof of the dormitory, facing northwest, his arms clasped to his chest. His eyes were closed, but he didn't look like he was sleeping or recuperating, and his eyebrows twitched from time to time. The wind blew the hem of the white robe wrapped around his uniform with a faint sound.
"Brother Ye, woke up so early, did you sleep well?"
"Hmm. Pretty good. β
Ye Hengyuan just walked out of the staircase and replied casually. A stream of air suddenly slowed down before it touched his body, bypassing his sides like the current in the news meeting a reef. He slowly walked a few steps forward, walking behind Leng Han.
"The people of the Central Army are really diligent enough," said coldly, "When Master first told me, I didn't believe it. β
Ye Hengyuan raised his head and glanced in the direction of the training ground. There are more and more ordinary soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and spirit warriors who have started their morning exercises, and each person or group of people is divided into various squads in an orderly manner and conducts their own morning exercises under their respective commanders.
"That's right. Otherwise, how could the Central Legion always be the head of the five major legions. Ye Hengyuan echoed.
Leng Han turned around and faced Ye Hengyuan. The corners of his mouth twitched twice, as if he was holding back what he wanted to say.
"Brother Leng, your mood doesn't seem to be quite right. Tired from hunting spirit beasts yesterday?"
Ye Hengyuan said something casually, but his eyes were fixed on his cold face.
"No," Leng Han shook his head, "I'm nothing. We're all pretty much the same, aren't we? Yesterday's events weren't enough to tire us out. But...... Brother Ye, how do you feel?"
"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, "How do you feel?"
"I said Lingyuan," Leng Han said, "the Lingyuan you got." How's it going?
"Huh? huh...... It's okay......" Ye Hengyuan scratched his head.
"Huh. β
Leng Han smiled faintly. If you look at it from a distance, his smile is still quite charming, enough to make a brainless little girl scream.
"I knew you would say that. No one will easily say that they have a spirit element, let alone casually tell others about its efficacy and ability. Except for those closest to you. I understand you. β
The corners of Ye Hengyuan's mouth twitched twice, and he just held back the words he originally wanted to say.
"I'm not envious of you," Leng Han shook his head, "Lingyuan is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought. I understand that. Actually, haven't you thought that the two of us are actually quite alike?"
Ye Hengyuan shook his head and didn't speak.
"I thought about it. β
Leng Han raised his head and looked at the dark sky.
"We're all people who need strength, and we all want to be strong quickly. We were all discovered by the Master, and we were all led on this path by the Master. This may be our only common destiny. β
"Brother Leng, it's been a long time since you said such a thing," Ye Hengyuan said, "It's been almost half a year, right? The last time you talked to me alone like this was when I first met you. β
"Yes," Leng Han nodded, "That's true. Brother Ye, do you think it's unfair? I know your past, but I haven't told you, I haven't told everyone else, what my past is like. β
"It's okay," Ye Hengyuan waved his hand, "I don't know." My master said that a hero does not ask where he comes from, and a person's past can only represent the part of his life that he has already used, and has nothing to do with his future. Yesterday's heroes may not turn into murderous butchers in the near future. β
"Hmm. β
Leng Han once again cast his gaze on the northwest sky. There is still darkness as far as the eye can see.
"When I'm ready, I'll tell you and everyone else. By the way, I heard from Master that several of you have been instructed by the boss?"
"Hmm. Ye Hengyuan nodded immediately. He didn't know why Leng Han suddenly asked this, but he didn't ask him immediately.
"How nice is that," Leng Han smiled, "I haven't met the boss yet." Brother Ye, can you tell me what the boss told you? It's just the two of us here, and I will never say it. β
Ye Hengyuan's expression became weird. He subconsciously took a step back, his turquoise eyes rolling several times in a row. He suddenly felt that Leng Han was very abnormal today, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
"It's nothing," Leng Han shook his head, "It's nothing if you don't want to say it." I know. Master told me that everyone may have another side that everyone else doesn't know, even if it's a relative who lives under the same roof or a friend who lives and dies together. If I had asked you this as a true friend, you'd probably be sure I had eaten the wrong thing, right? You've been a chef before, after all. β
"The manager didn't say anything special. β
"Huh?"
Leng Han's expression immediately changed, as if he heard a dog make a cat meow. His eyes widened instantly.
"The boss just said that the cultivation methods and paths that Master has arranged for me are very correct, and let me continue to practice according to them. Nothing else. Ye Hengyuan cleared his throat.
Leng Han didn't reply immediately, just lowered his head. He didn't know what to say.
"I'm right, Brother Leng," Ye Hengyuan said, "I don't have to lie to you. We are friends now, comrades-in-arms, and colleagues in the future. Is it necessary to deceive people about such a trivial matter if anyone is willing to say it?"
"Yes," Leng Han nodded, turned around, and faced the direction of the training ground, "That's right." There is no need to lie to anyone. I don't know what the manager is going to do to me, right?"
Ye Hengyuan didn't answer immediately, and took a step back again. He also lowered his head, remembering yesterday before the mother nucleus.
All he remembered was that there was a very powerful force that poured into his body at that time, and he almost burst himself. This power was like a pure wind element, constantly flowing in the spiritual veins of his body, but it carried its own piercing coolness like water mixed with ice cubes. He was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't shout, so he could only forcibly try to channel this force, but it was too strong for him to resist. In just a few blinks, he basically lost consciousness, and only felt that there was a hidden force in his body manipulating his body, doing all kinds of different actions. The only thing he remembered was that he seemed to see a green dragonβa green dragon with a dragon pattern similar to the one on his Fang Tian halberd. By the time he regained consciousness, he was so tired that he almost fell to the ground as if he had just finished a physical training session, a weapon combat class, a fist and kick combat class, and an energy manipulation class. Coach Wu Hai just said a few words, and praised himself a few words.
However, he still remembered that he seemed to feel a trace of complicated emotions in Coach Wu Hai's bright eyes...... It was hard for him to feel what it was, like the elders were worried about the juniors, and it was like ......
"You two woke up early enough. β
"Huh?!"
Ye Hengyuan and Leng Han exclaimed at the same time, and at the same time turned their eyes to their right side.
A circle of gray spiritual power balls emitted a faint silver light appeared out of thin air. Li Wenxin got out of it and fell in front of the two of them.
"I woke up a little earlier than you did. I was practicing 'Void Escape' just now, completely holding back my breath and spiritual power fluctuations. Your cultivation is one order worse than mine, so you can't detect my existence at all. It's almost dawn, so let's go back first. It's time for the girls to wake up. General Bai will send someone to call us in a moment. β
Ye Hengyuan and Leng Han glanced at each other, and both of them looked indescribably embarrassed.
It was dawning soon. It is said to be bright, but in fact, it has changed from black gray to light gray. In the northwest region of the entire Cangling Country, the sun can be seen for a few days in winter, and as long as there is no heavy snowfall, it is good weather.
Ye Hengyuan and the five of them followed behind Bai Suxin, and together with the two spiritual master teams of the Ministry of State Security, they flew to Cangqing City. Bai Suxin released a layer of spiritual protective film that was close to transparent, enveloping everyone. In fact, even without this protective film, there is no problem, because no one will be left behind or have any accidents.
Less than ten minutes later, the city gate of Cangqing City and some relatively tall buildings and towers appeared in everyone's sight. This Cangqing City is naturally not as grand as Cangling City, but as the capital of Cangyan Province, which is relatively slightly wealthier among the three provinces in the northwest region, its scale cannot be regarded as small. As far as the eye can see, whether it is a city wall, a building, a tower or a small castle, there are basically only three main colors: cyan, gray, and white for snow
