Dean Sang raised his head and glanced around. A circle of grass-green spiritual power fluctuations spread out from his body, instantly filling the entire conference room. The aura and spiritual power fluctuations emanating from his body were not very strong, much weaker than Hou Renze, but they gave people a warm feeling. Every member of the Education Committee and teachers present felt a strong breath of life, as if they were walking into a big forest on a spring day.

"We can't stay in the academy all the time. What is the purpose of our teaching students? It is to train soldiers to defend the homeland and the country, right? Now that the country is in danger, we naturally have to take up the martial spirit in our hands and defend our frontier. ”

"Yes," said another vice president sitting to Hou Renze's right, "in this world, the most precious and scarce resource is always talent." If we want to train real talents, we shouldn't keep them in greenhouses. Allowing them to participate in the suppression of bandits is tantamount to giving them an excellent opportunity to exercise, so that they can truly understand what war is and what real life-and-death struggle is before they go to the battlefield. ”

"Everyone, what do you think?" asked Hou Renze.

"I agree," said an older whitebeard commissioner, "that young people need to be exercised." ”

"I agree," said another veteran education committee member who covered his face with thick glasses to cover the wrinkles on his face and the age spots at the corners of his eyes, "and the underground forces in the Northwest have indeed been a little too rampant over the years, and they should be taught a lesson." Not to mention, now the Northwest is at war. Once a fire breaks out in the backyard, it is very likely to cause very large losses to our country and our army. ”

Chai Ding glared at his big bull eyes with some unpleasantness, and glanced at the two old guys sitting diagonally opposite him.

"I agree. ”

"I agree. ”

All the other education committees and senior teachers raised their hands and nodded their heads in agreement.

Hou Renze had a satisfied expression on his face. Jin Bo turned his head to look at him, and then at Chai Ding, and there seemed to be several emotions in his eyes that were difficult for outsiders to see.

"Dean Hou," Dean Sang turned his head, "can I choose two instructors to lead the team with me?" I think it's better to bring a senior faculty member and an intern instructor with me. ”

"No problem. Hou Renze waved his hand and readily agreed.

Green City.

The door to the room was closed, and the curtains tightly blocked the only window. A pale green shield of weak spiritual power clings to the wall, sealing off the entire room. This shield is not very strong and can be easily broken, but it can be converted into air bullets at the moment of attack, and it can attack the opponent.

Ye Hengyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his arms on his knees, palms up, and his eyes closed. Three finger-thick circles of blue-white air flowed around his body, radiating in all directions as he turned. A small blue and white ball slowly floated out of the palm of his left hand and floated between his palms, slowly spinning. It was the spirit element he had gotten from the Demon Sound Demon Bat. If someone else is here, a faint sound from it will be heard. It was a humming sound similar to the sound of the wind.

He gradually frowned, and his face became a little ugly. More and more spiritual power was released from his palm, merging into the blue and white spirit element. Lingyuan didn't change anything, just spun around on its own.

"Wow, wow, wow. Three crisp knocks rang out.

Ye Hengyuan slowly retracted his spiritual power and withdrew the spiritual yuan into his left palm. The spiritual power seal receded like a tide, and it re-transformed into pure wind attribute spiritual power, which merged into his body.

"Who?"

"Brother Hengyuan, it's me. Outside the door was Xue Mengyi's voice.

Ye Hengyuan smiled slightly, got up from the bed, raised his hand slightly, and made a "twist" movement. A faint stream of blue-white air condensed into the shape of a hand, twisting open the doorknob.

"You're still practicing, Brother Hengyuan?" Xue Mengyi walked in lightly. She was not wearing a uniform, but a golden cotton robe. The robe is not very ornate, but it is very meticulously made, and the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with snow-white silk threads. The pattern on the neckline is fish-shaped, and the pattern on the cuffs is wish-like.

Ye Hengyuan couldn't help but look at Xue Mengyi a few more times. In his eyes, she seemed to be more delicate today than yesterday. Her small round face seemed to have a few more soft curves around it, and it became more rounded. His face turned red involuntarily.

"Hmm...... Well, yes. ”

"What's wrong, are you tired, or haven't you rested?" Xue Mengyi slowly walked up to him, staring at her bright golden eyes.

"Huh? no...... No," Ye Hengyuan shook his head again and again, taking a step back, "I'...... I'm not tired, I haven't practiced all night...... I'm just, after waking up in the morning, I want to try my Lingyuan ......"

"Oh, how's it going, Brother Hengyuan?"

"It's not good yet," Ye Hengyuan shook his head, "I can almost master the power it brings me now, but I can't fully integrate its power yet." If I didn't fully fuse it, I wouldn't be able to use its power freely, and I wouldn't be able to use 100% of the power of the moves it gave me. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Hengyuan," Xue Mengyi shook her head, "Fusion Spirit Yuan is a long-term process, and there is no hurry. The fusion process of each spirit element is different from person to person. Maybe in a few days, it will naturally merge into your spiritual veins. ”

"Well," Ye Hengyuan nodded, "Maybe you'll have to wait for me to reach the fourth order." After all, the cultivation of that Demon Sound Demon Bat had already reached the first level of the fourth order. ”

"That's right," Xue Mengyi smiled coquettishly, "So, you don't need to worry about it at all." Don't keep your face down. ”

"Huh, I ...... Am I calm?" Ye Hengyuan hurriedly raised his hand, lifted the corners of his mouth up with two fingers, and forcibly put on a smiling face.

"Hehe," Xue Mengyi smiled again, revealing two small white teeth, "Let's go." Let's go eat first. After eating, go out for a walk with me, okay?"

"Ah, go out for a walk?" Ye Hengyuan didn't react for a while, "Aren't we going to interrogate Xie Bao and them right away?"

"Oh, there's no rush in the interrogation. General Bai and Governor Huang both said that they would wait until the afternoon to start. In the morning, we can rest for a few of us. ”

Xue Mengyi stretched out her little hand and grabbed Ye Hengyuan's big hand. A chill came from the back of her hand to his palm.

"Let's go out for a walk, okay? I'll get tired from always cultivating. ”

"That'...... Don't we need to say a word to General Bai? Also, what about the others? What about Sister Lei Xi? And ......"

"How do you know Sister Lei Xi?" Xue Mengyi pretended to be angry and pouted, "If you have a senior sister, you won't care about me?"

"Ah...... What...... No, no, no, no, no, no......" Ye Hengyuan shook his head like a rattle.

"Haha," Xue Mengyi smiled coquettishly, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Let's go. ”

"Ah...... Okay, okay...... I changed my clothes ......"

Ye Hengyuan let go of his hand and put on the coat beside the bed. He subconsciously held Xue Mengyi's little hand again and followed her out the door. The delicate and lubricated touch constantly moistens his tactile nerves. His face was already as red as an apple, and his breathing had become much heavier.

Xue Mengyi seemed to be completely unaware of his emotional changes, and pulled him out of the dormitory. This dormitory is the dormitory in the Guard Barracks of the Doge's Palace, and is about the same size as the Doge's Palace. The two of them soon left the confines of the Governor's Palace, walked to the central street, and walked slowly along the central street. They don't wear masks, because most of the people on the street don't wear them, and if they do, they attract attention.

There were a lot fewer people on the streets, at least a lot less than when they first arrived in Cangqing City. As far as the eye can see, except for the little boys and girls who have not grown up, everyone on the street basically has a worried face, and there is not much to smile. Most people were hurrying, and few were walking slowly. Except for the newspaper boys, there was hardly any sound on the street. Even the hawkers in the market area are many times weaker than the previous few days. Anyone with a little observation can see that the attack in the center of the square has caused great mental damage to the civilians in the city, and may even be more harmful than the damage caused by spirit beasts. What is meant by everyone's own danger, you can understand it at a glance.

"Brother Hengyuan, what are you thinking?" Xue Mengyi gently poked Ye Hengyuan's arm with her elbow. She saw that Ye Hengyuan's expression was still not very good-looking.

"Oh? nothing. Ye Hengyuan just shook his head.

"You lied to me," Xue Mengyi stopped, "You must be unhappy." ”

Ye Hengyuan also stopped and smiled, but it was a wry smile. He saw a little boy in a thick cotton robe running on a snowdrift on the road and accidentally fell, splashing a cloud of snow and dust. The robed woman who followed him slowly helped him to his feet and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the wet and soiled parts of his body.

"Brother Hengyuan, tell me, okay?" Xue Mengyi turned her head and faced Ye Hengyuan, "Don't always hold back unhappy things in your heart, you will be suffocated." ”

"Mengyi, do you like dandelions?" Ye Hengyuan said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xue Mengyi was stunned for a moment, "It's okay...... I don't really like it...... People in my family don't like it very much, saying it's a weed...... If there is it in the flower garden, the elders will send their disciples to get rid of it......"

Ye Hengyuan raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was still gray, like the color of the mortar used to build houses. In this large area of gray, many granular white spots can be faintly seen. It's going to snow again.

"I love it. When I was young, the fields would be full of dandelions in the spring. Kids about my age love to pick it up or step on it. But I never do. I would just quietly watch them bloom and watch them drift away with the wind. ”

"After I went to the restaurant as an apprentice, the chef in the restaurant taught me how to cook and make soup with dandelions. I've used it to make quite a few dishes. Almost everyone who comes to eat loves to eat. ”

"Now, I think of my old self. I remembered the little chef before I awakened the martial spirit. I feel that I used to be like a dandelion. It's not just me, it's a lot of ordinary people in the world. ”

Xue Mengyi stopped talking, raised her head, and quietly looked at Ye Hengyuan's face.

"The dandelion is tenacious, but it is also fragile," Ye Hengyuan said, "and its reproductive ability is amazing, as long as the wind can blow it, it can be used for its survival." However, a few ants or a single bed bug are enough to destroy it. ”

"I feel more and more that there are so many ordinary people in the world who have neither martial spirits nor martial arts skills, aren't ......they just like dandelions? Since we can't protect everyone perfectly forever, we can't kill all the wicked...... So how do we prevent the incident in the green square from happening again......"

Ye Hengyuan didn't say any more, raised his head, and closed his eyes hard. A few snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on his cheeks, turning into tiny droplets.

Xue Mengyi didn't answer him, but just grabbed his hand again. This time, her little hands warmed up like a small stove
