The position of Duan Zhiqing and Leng Baiyuan's team is not close to Shangguan Xiu's Shura team, but it is definitely not far, it is just located in the far corner of the southeast corner, which can be said to be better than Shangguan Xiu's location, both sides are the edge of the field, only two sides face other teams, which is unique, which is also the reason why Duan Zhiqing and Leng Baiyuan dare to leave the territory and hang out outside.

By the time it was almost noon, the audition had finally ended, and among the remaining hundred teams in the school's military field, the Imperial Spirit Martial Academy team accounted for most of them.

In the morning competition, the students of the Imperial Spirit Martial Academy did show an overwhelming advantage, which was far beyond the ability of the other Spirit Martial Academy students to compete with.

During the lunch break, the participating students left the venue one after another. Waiting for Qian Jin in the rest area to put out the lunch that had already been prepared. The staple food is flower rolls, steamed buns, and steamed buns, and the dishes are bacon, sauce meat, pickles, and so on.

After Shangguan Xiu and his party came over, Qian Jin excitedly waved to them again and again, shouting loudly: "Brother Xiu, this way, this way!"

Shangguan Xiu and the others walked over happily. Qian Jin smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close together, raised his thumb, and praised: "Brother Xiu, you guys are amazing, I helped you count them outside, a total of eleven flags were pulled out, and ...... were eliminated" He pinched his fingers and counted, and said: "Anyway, there are almost a hundred people!"

Ding Leng shrugged his shoulders, sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up a steamed bun, took a big bite, and asked, "Have you counted how many flags Qi Fei's team cut down?"

Qian Jin smiled and said: "I really paid attention to it, Qi Fei's team, not a single flag was cut down, no one was eliminated, they stayed in their own territory, no one went to fight them, and they didn't fight others." ”

Luo Ren blinked his eyes and said firmly: "It's a tactic!"

"Deliberately preserving strength?" Qian Jin asked curiously.

Luo Ren shook his head and said, "No, they don't need to preserve their strength, they are 'building a wall' for themselves!"

"Huh?" Qian Jin blinked in bewilderment.

"They don't go to eliminate the surrounding teams, and when they play in the afternoon, the surrounding teams will become a natural barrier to their territory, and if others want to attack them, they have to pass through the territory of the surrounding teams first, that is, in the afternoon, only they will attack others, and others want to attack them, it's too difficult. "Luo Ren has a strong sense of the overall situation, and he sees things more thoroughly, and he can get a glimpse of the key points at a glance.

"So that's the case!" Qian Jin showed a look of sudden realization, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "They are too cunning, their strength is already strong enough, do they still need to play such scheming?"

"Who doesn't want the final knighthood!" Luo Ren smiled and said: "Qi Fei is already a third-class earl, and if the title is promoted to a first-class knighthood, he is a third-class marquis, he is only twenty years old, and there are a few nobles who can be crowned marquis at the age of twenty in the whole Gale?

Qian Jin nodded thoughtfully. Knighthood is tempting for commoners, and even more tempting for nobles. He pondered for a while, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Brother Xiu, can't we snatch the opportunity to be knighted?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled but didn't say a word, grabbed it? What do you rely on, is it just a mouth? The afternoon game is the time to really compete in team strength. He doesn't have a lot of requirements, as long as he can stay in the top 10.

They were talking while eating, when Pan Mengjun walked over to Shangguanxiu and the others. Qian Jin's eyes were sharp, he cleared his throat, and whispered, "Brother Xiu, your friend is here." ”

Shangguan Xiu was stunned, he turned his head along Qian Jin's line of sight, and saw Pan Mengjun coming straight to him.

Soon, Pan Mengjun had walked to Shangguan Xiu's approach, she first glanced around at the people around her, and then her eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu, handed him a small wooden box in her hand, and said softly: "Ah Xiu, this is for you." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at her with some surprise, in his impression, he had not received a gift from Xiaojun for a long time, since he came to Shangjing.

He stood up, took the wooden box, and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

"Just a few small snacks. As she spoke, she looked at Luo Ren and the others, and saw that they were all staring at her with wide eyes, her jade face was slightly red, she bit her lip, and said, "Ah Xiu, can we go aside and talk." ”

"This ......"

"I have a lot to say to you after so long no see. Afraid that he would refuse, Pan Mengjun immediately added.

If you can't be a lover, don't be an enemy, at least you're still a childhood friend. Shangguan Xiu thought about it and nodded, "Okay!"

He was just about to walk away with Pan Mengjun, and Jia Caixuan, who was munching on beef, said on the ground: "I see that this woman has peach blossoms on her face, red mountain roots, and moist eyes. ”

Her words made Pan Mengjun's face flush and embarrassed. Shangguan Xiu frowned, saying such things in front of others, his mouth was too vicious. He coughed lowly, didn't say anything, and walked away with Pan Mengjun.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Jia Caixuan pursed the corners of her lips and muttered, "Hmph!

Ding Leng glanced at her and said, "Jia Banxian, you can stop in moderation, do you know what the relationship between Brother Xiu and others is, don't talk nonsense here!"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Jia Caixuan threw the half-bitten flower roll in his hand to Ding Leng's body, pinched his waist angrily and said: "I have always been very accurate in looking at people, and I am born from my heart, if this woman is not a water-based poplar flower, I will cut off my head and kick it for you!"

Don't look at Ding Leng's expressionless face and insensitive, his reaction is surprisingly fast. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he caught the flower roll thrown by Jia Caixuan, and without looking at it, he threw it directly into his mouth, and said slowly: "After all, you don't have to waste food!"

Jia Caixuan gave him a blank shalt angrily, turned his head back, and looked at Shangguanxiu and Pan Mengjun. Cao Lei scratched his head inexplicably and asked, "What's the situation!" Luo Ren concluded: "On the one hand, the falling flowers are intentional, on the other hand, the flowing water is ruthless, and then there are two left." ”

"Ah, what do you mean?" When he said this, Cao Lei was even more confused, his face was full of confusion, what does it mean that Luohua is intentionally ruthless and has two left?

Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu, he and Pan Mengjun walked for a while, stopped, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Xiaojun, what do you want to say?"

Pan Mengjun looked at Shangguan Xiu, his lips squirmed a few times, and asked, "How are you doing during this time?"

"Good. "Shangguan Xiu told the truth, his past seventeen years added together, there is no excitement and excitement in this month.

Thinking that he was talking angry to himself, Pan Mengjun said apologetically: "Ah Xiu, are you still angry with me, that day...... I didn't know what was wrong with me that day, it was like I had fallen into an evil ...... all of a sudden."

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at her, interrupting her later words, he said softly: "I'm not angry with you, to be exact, I'm no longer angry with you, you have the freedom to pursue happiness, I won't be a stumbling block to you." ”

He won't be cheeky enough to beg you to stay, even if he is a small person, he has his own dignity.

Pan Mengjun sighed softly, she changed her words and asked, "How did you break through the cultivation realm?" I always thought that you were not suitable for cultivating spiritual martial arts!"

"I used to practice in the wrong direction, but now, I'm just practicing in the right direction. Shangguan Xiu lightly brushed it off.

The matter of his cultivation of spiritual devouring is something that even Pan Mengjun does not know, after all, it is forbidden martial arts, and Shangguan Xiu is also worried that telling her will cause her trouble.

"That'...... Then how did you get into the Imperial Academy?" "There are too many things about Shangguan Xiu that make her curious now, and she wants to know what has happened to him in the past month.

"It's a coincidence. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.

Seeing that he was reluctant to answer all his questions head-on, he said a word, Pan Mengjun showed a look of grievance and said: "Before, you had no secrets from me, but now, you refuse to say anything to me......"

Before, you were by my side, and now, you are by someone else's side. Shangguan Xiu muttered in his heart, looking at Pan Mengjun with a sad and sad expression, he smiled and said, "Xiaojun, you go back, if you let Leng Baiyuan know that you came to me, I'm afraid that he will come to me again." "And I'm afraid I'll kill him by mistake!

In Shangguan Xiu's eyes, she could no longer see the warmth he had when he faced her before, which made her feel like a knife. Her eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Ah Xiu, can we never go back to the past?"

Shangguan Xiu took a deep look at her, and when he saw the mist in her eyes, for a moment, his heart also twitched, and he had the urge to embrace her, but this thought was only fleeting.

He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I think that people will always face a lot of choices in their lives, when you make a decision, you will definitely gain something, and you will lose something, how can there be so many best of both worlds in the world?"

As he spoke, he took out the wooden box behind his back, stuffed it back into Pan Mengjun's hand, and said, "I have received your gift, but I can't and shouldn't accept it." ”

Shangguan Xiu's gaze swept over Pan Mengjun, who was stunned, and looked at Luo Ren and the others, his eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth were slowly rising, revealing two rows of small white teeth, and he smiled, the scorching sun was on his head, and his smile seemed to be more dazzling than the scorching sun.

He raised his head and said, "Xiaojun, go back, your partners are waiting for you, and my partners are also waiting for me." Good bye. ”

With that, he turned and walked back. He felt that parting with Pan Mengjun was not as difficult as he imagined, but like letting go of a big burden, and there was an indescribable sense of relief in his heart and body.
