Chapter 100: Building the Foundation (I)
"From now on, no one in the academy will ever say anything wrong to you again. Under the starry night, Shangguan Yutong's eyes were long and charming, flashing with a light that was even more dazzling than starlight, "I haven't thanked you for saving me." ”
"If you were someone else, you'd do the same. Ling Xiao said calmly, "What's more, Teacher Shangguan is so good to me, Ling Xiao is not a person who doesn't understand Entu's report." ”
Shangguan Yutong suddenly flashed a faint disappointment in his heart, and chuckled: "Others, hehe, you were the only one who made a move that day! By the way, the night owl didn't say that he wanted to follow you, why haven't you seen him all the time?"
Ling Xiao shook his head: "Perhaps, it's regret." ”
"That's fine, at least don't worry about him being bad for you, especially your identity. Shangguan Yutong seemed to be in a better mood again, and asked Ling Xiao, "Isn't it, I can hear your good news soon?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right!"
Shangguan Yutong showed a bright smile on his face: "Then the teacher wants to congratulate you in advance!" As he spoke, he stretched out his jade-like slender hand and clapped his hands lightly with Ling Xiao, with a bright and moving smile on his face: "Your sister knows, she will definitely be proud of you!"
Ling Xiao smiled indifferently, and then said, "Teacher, you still hope to keep this secret for me." ”
Shangguan Yutong smiled like a flower: "Only I know?"
“......”
"Ah, it's the young master who is back!" As soon as Ling Xiao walked into the courtyard, he saw Qiu Yue, who was practicing alone outside, looking at Ling Xiao with a look of surprise, and then Chunlan and Ye Weini walked out quickly from inside, Ye Weini pursed her cherry lips, and stared at Ling Xiao with a pair of beautiful eyes, her eyes were full of joy.
"I heard that the students who have experienced the training have come back, but I didn't see you, so I can't do it in a hurry. Ye Weini smiled mischievously, hiding the attachment to Ling Xiao in her eyes, and made fun of Chunlan and Qiuyue.
The two girls blushed, and Chunlan pouted: "I don't know who it is, before the young master came back, he talked all day long, if only I went with him, when will he come back......?" Chunlan imitated the way Ye Weini spoke, very vivid, several girls laughed and made a mess, this is here, if other nobles see it, they will be surprised, there are such unruly maids, although they are personal maids, but in the eyes of the master, no matter what maids...... All of them are just subordinates!
In fact, in the past, Ling Xiao was extremely tolerant of the maids around him, and now Ling Xiao doesn't care about some secular etiquette, in his opinion, as long as it doesn't affect him, they can do whatever they want.
Ye Weini seems to have a lot less wild surnames, and I don't know if they are hidden or changed, Ling Xiao thinks that she is more hidden, how can a person's surname be easily changed. It can only be said that the atmosphere of the academy made Ye Weini understand her gap and become more aware of how to hide herself.
"How's your sword formation practice?" Ling Xiao asked casually.
"Young Master Hui, Qiu Yue and I have both become fourth-order great sword masters, the Jade Maiden Sword Formation, we are already more proficient in cooperating, and we are practicing every day!" Chunlan had a proud smile on her face, their age was not very old, they were only sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, and those students of the Imperial Academy who were called geniuses, the highest level, was only the fourth order!
Since learning the jade girl's swordsmanship, the strength of the two girls has improved by leaps and bounds, so now when they speak, they also have such a momentum of contempt.
Ling Xiao glanced at Chunlan, who had a smug face, and couldn't help but splash her cold water and said: "The strength that the medicine improves is a small path rather than a great avenue after all! If you want to really have strength, it is better to concentrate on cultivation, you look at Qiuyue is much more low-key than you, purple and blue Zhuguo, it can only improve your strength this time, if you have been so proud, then you will only be a fourth-order great sword master for the rest of your life." ”
Chunlan was reprimanded, her face was a little red, but she also knew that the young master cared about them and said this for their good, and said in a low voice: "Chunlan knows that she is wrong, Chunlan will not be proud in the future." ”
"Warriors, you must have a strong heart, and the most taboo is to breed complacency, I believe that you will all have higher achievements in the future. Ling Xiao said lightly, and there was still a word in his heart: Because, you are following me!
Although he was a little tired, Ling Xiao still decided to build a foundation for himself immediately, just like what he had just said to Chunlan: A martial artist needs to have the heart of a strong man. A person who has no pursuit, then he is destined not to have too high achievements in any field.
"I'm going to retreat and cultivate, don't disturb me, no one will see me!" Ling Xiao finished speaking, and glanced at the third girl: "Including you." ”
Ye Weini pursed her lips slightly, and when she said that she would put on a score when she came back, she just wanted to say something to provoke Chunlan and Qiuyue, and the two girls bowed very obediently: "Got it, young master." ”
Ling Xiao's door snapped and was slammed shut.
"It's really, it's so easy not to come back, and I don't know how to talk to others, so I lock myself up, hum. Ye Weini pouted, sat on the soft chair and complained.
"Ye Zi, I believe that Young Master must have something important to do. Chunlan, who had just been reprimanded, was Ling Xiao's defender.
"Yes, Yezi, although the young master doesn't talk much, he has always been a good person!" Qiu Yue, who was a little shy, also explained.
"Okay, take you two girls who only have the young master in their heads. Ye Weini could only say surrender.
In the days that followed, a lot happened.
The return of the students of the Imperial Academy soon spread the news of the orc invasion that occurred in the southern town of Cameron throughout Yanjing, and at the same time, all the teachers and students of the Imperial Academy were not afraid of danger and bravely fought against the orcs, and the prestige of the Imperial Academy reached a new peak for a while.
Because even His Majesty the King went to the Imperial Academy to offer condolences, counting the teachers who went with him, more than 1,200 people, except for those who were recuperating from their injuries, and Ling Xiao did not arrive, all the others were rewarded by His Majesty the King. There are even a few lucky fellows who have been personally awarded the title by His Majesty the King!
Compared with this matter, there are some small things that circulate within the scope of the Imperial Academy, the first thing is that in the original Imperial Academy teaching team, the young and handsome Teacher Long Xiang, on the way to the training, caused some trouble, but failed to solve it, and then what happened in the Budamian steppe disgraced the face of the entire aristocratic class.
And because he needed to recuperate from his injuries, he was the only one in the team who had been trained and did not receive a commendation! On the contrary, he became a disgrace to the academy, and he had resolutely left the academy yesterday afternoon, despite the retention of the dean Qiu Jianhua. An insider said that Long Xiang had gone to the villa where Ling Xiao lived once when he left, and looked at it outside with hateful eyes for a long time.
The second thing is about Ling Xiao, this general's family is the third son, it seems that after that indecent turmoil, he has completely changed a person, becoming impenetrable, and his whole body seems to be full of mystery! During this experience, his actions surprised everyone, and he was even able to calmly rescue Shangguan Teacher under the sword of a third-order demon swordsman, and scared the opponent's sword out of his hand. If it weren't for the fact that the night owls were very famous in the mercenary and adventure circles of Yanjing, people even suspected that they were acting on purpose!
At this point, many people can't help but once again set their eyes on Xie Xiaoyan, the other protagonist in the indecent turmoil, and even many people began to wonder if the original turmoil was as people said, Ling Xiao insulted Xie Xiaoyan?
However, since Xie Xiaoyan came back from the experience, the whole person has become extremely low-key, and she devotes her energy to hard cultivation every day, and she doesn't show up at all.
Fortunately, these things were diluted by the joy brought by His Majesty the King's personal award, and the orcs had not appeared openly in front of human beings for hundreds of years, so this battle, not only the Blue Moon Empire, but even several other countries, especially those with territories adjacent to the orcs, began to strengthen the vigilance on the border.
At the same time, the Blue Moon Empire also had a great reputation because of this battle, and the personal prestige of His Royal Highness Li Wutong, the King of the South, also reached a new height with these things.
All of this is not within the scope of Ling Xiao's care, at this moment, he is enduring amazing pain, impacting the major meridians of his body!;
