Chapter 18: Yi Xiaojun
After reading the list of preliminary rounds, it was already evening, and everyone had a meal around Shuiyun Academy and didn't come back until late at night.
After a tiring day, everyone didn't talk much and slept separately, but Naranzhe couldn't sleep.
Tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Nalan Zhe felt that he was getting farther and farther away from sleep, so he simply got up and walked to the courtyard.
During the day, because I had to hide my identity, the black cloth on my eyes had to be covered all the time. Now that the black cloth is removed, everything seems to be much clearer.
The moon is only half exposed outside, and the other half is hidden by black clouds, the last time I looked at the moon so seriously, it was still with Leng Yushi.
It didn't take long for it to be like a lifetime away.
On summer nights, there are a lot of insects that don't sleep, and all kinds of chirps converge together, like a concert, Nalan sits bored on the stone chair and listens.
The crickets were probably fighting in groups, and the screams were dense and annoying, and they didn't know what they were doing, so they were silent all of a sudden.
Occasionally, one or two little squirrels that are not afraid of death pass by, and they don't know where they came from or where they are going, they will stare at Nalan Zhe for a while, and then disappear with a "whoosh".
The wind blew at night, and the wind blew people very comfortably, as if they were wiping their bodies with a soft towel that had been washed in the ice cellar without water.
At this time, Nalan Zhe heard that there was someone not far away, and he didn't have to look back, he knew who the person from Lu Dao was, it was Uncle Wang, his grandfather's old servant.
Nalan Zhe didn't react, just sat quietly, but he didn't expect Uncle Wang to walk towards him.
"Ahem, why hasn't Xiao Zhe slept yet. Uncle Wang walked slowly and tremblingly.
"Well, I looked at the preliminary roster. Can't sleep. Naranzhe smiled. Not beat around the bush.
"Hi. What's not to sleep, the top masters are in the heavenly group, and there are not many strong players in the earth group and the human group, so you have a great chance. Uncle Wang calmly analyzed Nalan Zhe.
"Is it? It's hard to say, you must know that the masters of the Dao are usually in the people, and there may be many masters we don't know who are mixed in the local group and the human group. Nalan Zhe shook his head and said helplessly.
"Xiao Zhe. You are arrogant, I watched you grow up, and I know your strength. You work harder than anyone else, you are more serious than anyone else, not to mention that you have a colorful martial spirit, after this rule change, it will also be very good for you, Miss Shy's illusion that taught you at the beginning, it should come in handy. Uncle Wang said hehehe.
"Fight for it, I'll try to fight for itβ" Suddenly. Naranzhe paused, feeling that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he quickly reacted, how could Uncle Wang know that he had a colorful martial spirit!
Moreover, how did Uncle Wang know that Sister Lu Dao had taught him illusions?
Although Uncle Wang is his grandfather's personal servant, the fact that he has a colorful martial soul has always been the top secret of Yunmeng, and even the pear girl Xiong Shao and Ye Zi only knew the Tao when they grew up, except for her, the only people who knew the Tao were Grandpa, the eldest sister and Uncle Zhu.
As an ordinary servant, how could he know this, with grandpa's caution, it was absolutely impossible to tell him!
Thinking of this, Nalan Zhe looked at Uncle Wang incredulously.
Uncle Wang didn't speak, sat down calmly, sighed deeply, and then said: "Leng girl is extremely smart and young and beautiful, and her eyes are a little similar to Miss Shy's, no wonder you fall in love with her." β
"Huh?" Nalan Zhe was stunned, he didn't know what Lu Dao replied, he knew that Lu Dao didn't need to say anything, Uncle Wang would continue to say.
"Xiao Zhe, don't worry, Leng Yatou and Weisheng will be fine, at least for the time being, as long as you do what Princess Caiyue says. Uncle Wang said as he nodded at Nalan Zhe.
"You...... Are you Princess Caiyue's people?" Naranzhe said in horror.
"It doesn't count or not, I'm just an old servant, on Shui Yun's side, and on Caiyue's side, I'm not an important person, so I'll do some work like spreading the word. β
"You...... You ......" Nalan Zhe was taken aback, you must know that Uncle Wang has been a servant with his grandfather for decades, and before he was born, Uncle Wang had already followed his grandfather, such a person turned out to be a traitor, Nalan Zhe suddenly felt that the three views were about to collapse.
"Uncle Wang, what is this for, is it for money, or ...... Grandpa treats you well, you ...... Okay, I won't ask, if you dare to hurt grandpa, I won't let you go!" Nalan Zhe said sharply.
"Shhhh You're still too young. Adults have the rules of the game for adults, do you think I am the only one like me in the Cloud Alliance, wrong, in the Cloud Alliance, there are people from the Hero Kingdom, people from Lei Mo, people from the Bright Moon Emperor, and even people from the Snow Country. Uncle Wang's words completely changed Nalan Zhe's view of this world.
He originally thought that he already knew a lot about this world, but now he felt infinitely strange.
"Xiao Zhe, don't worry, there is a game with rules for a game, and those who break the rules of the game are not welcome. Do you think Lord Ze doesn't know my identity? Actually, he knows everything. What does Lord Ze want to do with Princess Caiyue, and you have to contact me through me. At the same time, in various places, there are actually people from the Shuiyun family. The poisoning, the mole, and the kind that you think about are only written about in street novels, and in the last hundred years, have you heard of how many cases of the incumbent in power being murdered at home?"
Hearing Uncle Wang say this, it seems that it is still the same thing, I really haven't heard of a big guy who was killed by his subordinates, thinking of this, Nalan Zhe's heart is a little wider.
"Uncle Wang, what do you mean by revealing your identity today, does Princess Caiyue have any plans?" Nalan Zhe asked directly.
"Well, the assassination of Lei Mo has been canceled. Uncle Wang's words were thunderous.
Although Nalan Zhe had thought that this might happen, he was still a little surprised for a while, and he didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao.
"When is Princess Caiyue going to release her?" Nalan Zhe asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Actually, you can put it now, but if you release someone, what you should do will not be less, because the life and death of Leng Yatou's mother and sister are in the hands of Princess Caiyue, for the sake of her mother and sister, Leng Yatou will do everything she can do. Uncle Wang said leisurely, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing, not a despicable and shameless thing like threatening people.
"What does Princess Caiyue mean?" said Nalan Zhe, slightly stunned.
"Don't worry, I promised you at the beginning, I won't break my promise, it's just that it's no longer to assassinate Lei Mo, the second thing is related to the Water Cloud Conference, you have to pretend to be a boy from Hades City on Ghost Island to participate in the Water Cloud Conference. β
"Huh?" Nalan Zhe was stunned, what was the situation?
As he spoke, Uncle Wang slowly moved closer to Nalan Zhe, and then stretched out a pair of rough hands to Nalan Zhe's face: "Xiao Zhe, don't be afraid, I'll touch your face." β
Nalan Zhe has nothing to fear, with him today, ordinary people can't hurt him, so let Uncle Wang touch him.
Uncle Wang touched his hand for a while before stopping, and then said to Nalan Zhe with a smile: "In the past two days, I will arrange for someone to beat a human skin mask, and then you can wear a human skin mask to compete." Your level is a human group, and the identity card will be arranged for you, your name is: Yi Xiaojun!"
"Yi Xiaojun?" Nalan Zhe looked at Uncle Wang suspiciously.
"Yes, the competition time of the ground group and the human group is separated, so you can participate in both the preliminary round and the semi-final, but the final will not work, the three cold battles will be held in one day, if you participate in the ground group competition, you will have no strength in the human group competition, so you can only participate as Yi Xiaojun, not Nalan Zhe. Because your mission is to capture the water cloud for Hades City!"
"This!" A wordless anger rose in Nalan Zhe's heart, "The Shuiyun family has declined, I must capture Shuiyun Shishao in order to be able to revitalize the Shuiyun family again, this is also grandpa's long-cherished wish, how can I represent other places to participate in the Shuiyun Conference!"
"Well...... Xiao Zhe, love and righteousness have never been both, you can only choose one yourself. However, Uncle Wang has a saying that in the front, the revitalization of water and clouds is something that can be worked hard at any time, and when a person dies, he can't come back to life. Uncle Wang can only say this, and the rest depends on you. Alas...... When people are old, they don't like to listen to dead people, dead people and the like, Xiao Zhe, I'll go first, and the mask will be given to you in three days. β
After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he walked away tremblingly, still sighing as he walked, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was sighing.
At this moment, Nalan Zhe couldn't sleep even more.
"That's right!" Uncle Wang suddenly turned around and said.
"What's wrong?" asked Naranzhe.
"I have to remind you of something, now the outside world still doesn't know that you have a colorful martial soul, so it's good that Nalan Zhe appears as a fire-based heaven-level martial artist, don't let people know that you have a colorful martial soul, in that case, things will be in trouble. Your Colorful Martial Soul needs to be left to Yi Xiaojun, understand, Yi Xiaojun of Hades City on Ghost Island is the owner of the Colorful Martial Soul. Am I wordy, ha, people are useless when they are old, but you must remember what I said. Easy small army, easy easy to size, small in size, army of soldiers. β
After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Nalan Zhe to respond, and left.
Nalan Zhe looked at the background of Uncle Wang's departure and shook his head, although he was just an inferior old servant, but Uncle Wang's psychology of manipulating people was extremely in place, Nalan Zhe didn't have to think about it, he was already able to make a decision.
As Uncle Wang said, the city can be repaired again if it is broken, the country can be revived if it dies, and if the Shuiyun family can't rise in his generation, there will be another generation.
But there is only one cold poem, just like the eldest sister Shui Yunsha has only one.
Such a beautiful girl with peerless elegance, once she disappears in this world, she will disappear completely, forever.
Thinking of Leng Yushi's charming big eyes, Nalan Zhe was a little confused for a while, as if he saw the eyes of his eldest sister when she parted, and there was an indescribable deep reluctance in it.
I am reluctant to leave this world, I am reluctant to leave the person in front of me, I am reluctant to leave the person in front of me, and I am reluctant to leave the person who has not yet come to me.
Naranzhe never wanted to experience such a scene again.
Grandpa, I'm sorry, Xiao Zhe is going to be selfish again. (To be continued......)
