Chapter 1 Candidates
"Ah Rong?" Ziyuan, who was about to go out, exclaimed when he saw Zuo Congrong, who was staring blankly at the gate of the Fran Mansion and looking extremely depressed.
"Where have you been? It's been more than half a year. Shion asked in surprise.
"Sister Ziyuan...... , Xiaokong is dead!" Zuo Congrong, who had already jumped out of the past, looked at the woman in front of him, for some reason, all the sadness in his heart surged up again, and he wanted to confide out all the pain in front of him, Zuo Congrong raised his head in a daze.
"I know, it's okay, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Ziyuan looked at Zuo Congrong, who had become so dark and haggard in just half a year, and took him into his arms in distress, and comforted him gently. Because Zuo Congrong's affairs were deliberately concealed by the camp, there was no leakage of his invasion of the Lu family in the imperial capital, but as far as Ziyuan's concern for Zuo Congrong Cheng DΓΉ, her grandfather naturally would not hide it from her, so Ziyuan also knew this clearly.
"Okay, let's go home quickly, I've been wandering outside for more than half a year, let's have a good rest!" After seeing that Zuo Congrong had calmed down a lot, Ziyuan let go of him and took him to the Fran Mansion.
......
"Where have you been for more than half a year?" After a few days of recuperation in the Fran Mansion, Zuo Congrong's mental condition slowly returned to normal, and Zi Yuan asked cautiously.
"I didn't do anything, it was all boring, there was nothing to say. It's you, Sister Ziyuan, I saw you in a hurry a few days ago, is there something wrong?" Zuo Congrong avoided his actions and asked Ziyuan.
"This, it's Aunt Ye who has something to do with me, and you are also a member of the Academy Students' Association, so I won't hide it from you, this time at the request of the imperial capital, I selected elites from the eight colleges to carry out special tasks. Isn't this our academy winning the championship of martial arts in the imperial capital? So the first choice is me, who won the championship in martial arts. But it's okay now, I've already said hello to Aunt Ye, let's talk about something tomorrow, it's hard for you to come back, of course your problem is more important. Shion explained. The night aunt in Ziyuan's mouth is naturally the dean of the second college, and it is a white night, because it is in private, Ziyuan does not use a formal title in front of Zuo Congrong.
"Going on a special mission? Aren't we all on vacation, and we still have to fulfill tasks for the academy? And it's also the imperial capital!" Zuo Congrong asked incomprehensibly.
"You can't say that. The tasks of the student association have little to do with whether there is a holiday or not, and I am also one of the leaders of the student association, so of course I need to lead by example. Besides, the other seven academies did not have a holiday, and if there was no representative from our academy, this task would be handed over to others, and it would be difficult to get the command in a few years, of course, we must be able to take on this task. Aster Road.
"Well, what kind of mission is that going on? Isn't it appropriate for the military to be so enthusiastic and mobilize the people, and to select elites from the eight academies?" Zuo Congrong asked suspiciously. The responsibility of the student association is generally to serve the academy, but this time it was actually requested by the imperial capital himself. It's inevitably a little confusing. Despite this, the imperial capital even asked to select characters from the eight academies, and if you want to talk about the ability to perform tasks, it is naturally that the people in the military are more professional. Needless to say, the strength of the ability is self-explanatory. Compared with the student presidents of the various colleges who have been practicing for less than a hundred years, there are many people with extreme abilities in the military, and as for the professional Cheng of the mission. The high-level military officials, who often travel from south to north and are accustomed to strong winds and waves, are also much better than the cadets who are warmed up in the academy, right?
"Of course, the military can do it properly, the entire camp, if you want to talk about the ability to carry out the mission, the military is much stronger than other main city forces, and this mission has other purposes. If you have a chance, let Aunt Ye tell you in person tomorrow, this mission is a confidential mission, and I can't reveal it to you, I'm sorry. Shion said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, forget it. In that case, Sister Ziyuan doesn't have anything else to do today?" asked Zuo Congrong from the other side.
"Sort of, why are you asking this, afraid that I won't accompany you?" Shion asked with a wicked smile.
"No, no, no. I have other things I want you to go with me. Zuo Congrong was ridiculed by Ziyuan, and immediately blushed and argued.
"Something else, what else, what's the matter?" Shion asked unexpectedly. Since the two met in the second college, Zuo Congrong has always only done some nonsensical stupid things, and there is nothing positive, but he didn't expect that after going out for half a year, he actually said a topic that Ziyuan didn't expect.
"......" Zuo Congrong didn't speak, but just took out something from the inner lining of the big one and showed it in front of Ziyuan. A walnut-sized, aqua-blue diamond-shaped crystal.
"What is this?"
"What Sora left behind, I think it should be a seed. Zuo Congrong explained.
"Do you want to plant it?" Ziyuan was already in a state like Zuo Congrong before, and she was afraid of stimulating Zuo Congrong again, so she asked cautiously.
"Well, I was going to keep it with me all the time. However, after half a year, even the color has changed, it used to be a beautiful golden yellow, and I am afraid that one day this seed will become not even a little shiny, and all the aura will be lost. Instead of that, it's better to plant it now, and if you miss her, come back and see. "Left from Rong Road.
"Then what are you asking me to help with, looking for a place with a better environment?" Zion asked.
"No, I've already chosen the address. I don't have any familiar places in the camp, except for the forest, and there is only the second college, so it would be nice to plant the second college. Is it okay to plant it in the grass in the atrium?" asked Zuo Congrong, looking back.
"Yes, but in that case, what do you want me to help you with, there's nothing you need me to help with, right?" Shion asked puzzled.
"I want you to come with me!" Zuo Congrong said.
......
β‘β‘β‘
"Sister Ziyuan, didn't the dean just call you alone, why did you bring me with you?" After the matter was done, the next day Ziyuan went to see Bai Ye as promised, but unlike the plan, today Ziyuan even brought Zuo Congrong with him. Not long after going out, Zuo Congrong asked as if he remembered something.
"Aren't you very interested in that confidential mission, I'll take you with me today, and if I have a chance, I might let you know about it. Shion explained with a wicked smile.
"I don't think anything good is happening. Zuo Congrong looked at Ziyuan, his heart was furious, and he said very unconfidently.
"Don't worry, Sister Ziyuan can still harm you. β
"That's good! By the way, Sister Ziyuan, that, how many people are you going to choose for this mission?" Zuo Congrong was a little relieved after listening to Ziyuan's words, but when he saw Ziyuan's somewhat bad expression, he suddenly added vigilantly.
"Two people, what's wrong?"
"Two people, then, will that ......" Zuo Congrong's heart jumped, his eyes kept wandering back and forth between himself and Ziyuan, and asked. Shion has already said that this mission is a confidential mission, otherwise, judging from Zion's usual attitude towards him, how could Shion completely hide it from him, and now that he is willing to talk to him about these things, doesn't it mean that he has begun to contact this mission. And the candidates are exactly two people, no matter how you look at Zuo Congrong, you feel that this is deliberately setting a trap for yourself.
"Don't worry, the candidate for this time has been decided, it is me and Xu Lei from the Third Academy. Bringing you here just thinks you're bored to be home alone. In addition, aren't you very curious about this task, I don't have the right to reveal more information to you, bring you here, maybe Aunt Night is in a good mood, and you can't tell you about the content of the task. Shion explained.
"Oh, then rest assured. Zuo Congrong breathed a sigh of relief.
......
"How is it? Have you said hello to the Third Academy, what does Xu Lei mean? Because of your procrastination in the past few days, our time has been much late, if you don't have any opinions, you will prepare after you go back today, and let's set off tomorrow!" After the two came to Bai Ye's house, Bai Ye didn't say anything polite, and directly took the two to the study. Although the mansion of the white night is also very big, but because it lives alone, there is no need to worry about the content of the mission being leaked.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Ye, because of Ah Rong's return, I haven't said hello to Xu Lei until now. Shion said apologetically.
"What?" Bai Ye was startled, she would never have thought that Ziyuan, who had always been meticulous and shrewd and capable, would make a mistake at such a time.
"Aster...... , The imperial capital is different from other main cities, and there is almost no disagreement in the candidates of other main cities, and they will select personnel from the major forces, so the preparations can be completed quickly. But our imperial capital is different, the eight academies have their own opinions, and it is difficult to reach a consensus, so the emperor has entrusted the important task of selecting personnel to us, so as not to cause ambiguity and hinder the completion of the task. It's not that you said a few days ago that you would delay your departure for a few days because of Zuo Congrong's relationship, but do you understand what you are doing now?" Bai Ye sighed and said.
"Aunt Night......
"The time has been delayed so much, and the preparation of the personnel has not yet been in place, maybe only in the imperial capital, at most it will be a loss of face for the second academy, but this matter is related to the entire camp, but it is the face of the entire imperial capital, you have always been smart and clever, how could you do such a thing!" Bai Ye interrupted Ziyuan's words and continued to lecture.
"Aunt Night, will you finish listening to me first? The reason why I didn't inform Xu Lei was because I had other plans. When Xu Lei was originally chosen, it was because there was no one in the Eight Academies other than her, but now it's different, don't we have a better choice?" After Bai Ye's lecture, Zi Yuan finally had the strength to interject.
"Who's the other candidate!" Bai Ye said suspiciously. (To be continued......)
