"Why don't you speak?" said Bai Ye for a long time.

"I said, Lord Dean, why do you have to ask me to participate, if I don't want to participate and I will be eliminated in the first round, you can't help it. Caught by the other party, Zuo Congrong's tone of voice finally softened a lot, and he seemed to have to talk to Bai Ye.

"If it's just for the competition, there are indeed a lot of candidates, and even those who can compete with the players from other academies are not impossible, but if you want to guarantee an absolute victory, there is no one else but you. Bai Ye sighed and said, his strong dedication to victory couldn't help but make Zuo Congrong look sideways.

"You've only been in the Second Academy for about half a year, and there's no way to do it if you don't know. The reputation of our academy in the imperial capital is the worst among the eight academies, because it is a veritable aristocratic academy, and because it has always been at the downstream level in the imperial capital. So, I want to change that, and I don't allow this group of students who are working hard to be treated like this. Obviously I haven't learned about our academy, and the people who have denied all the efforts of our students just because of rumors, I only don't want them to talk nonsense, I want to make everyone shut up through this imperial capital martial arts!" Bai Ye, who looks graceful and luxurious on weekdays, has a resolute and resolute expression at the moment, but he has a fight with the female marshal on the battlefield. Zuo Congrong never expected that Bai Ye would have such deep persistence and determination.

“...... , didn't our academy get a better ranking, besides, the imperial capital martial arts performance is only held once in ten years, and the wind evaluation of our academy should have nothing to do with the imperial capital's martial arts performance, right?" Zuo Congrong saw Bai Ye's resolute attitude, and didn't know what to say, so he casually found a topic and asked.

"No, it matters! The Imperial Capital Martial Arts is indeed performed once every ten years, yes, but our academy has not entered the top five for more than a hundred years, and even the second and third levels have never achieved relatively satisfactory results. More than a dozen failures were enough to cause the second academy's reputation to drop. Moreover, even if it has nothing to do with the imperial capital's martial arts, as long as you can win two levels of championships in the martial arts, the impression of the Second Academy in people's hearts will change a lot. Bai Ye explained.

"I haven't been in the top five for more than 100 years? This result is also off home!" Zuo Congrong said in astonishment, now it seems that what he just said has to be retracted, and it is strange that it has nothing to do with the wind and comments.

"It's a shame, but that's true. But it's no wonder that our students are not to blame. Compared with other colleges with about 100,000 students, our college has less than 30,000 students, and the enrollment restrictions of our college are also a lot more cumbersome than other colleges, so whether it is the quality or quantity of students, our college is at a disadvantage. Bai Ye said helplessly.

"It's a bit unfair, indeed. By the way, how was the ranking of this martial arts event decided?" Zuo Congrong only then remembered to ask about the rules of the competition.

"The result of the strong competition is the ranking of the academy. Ziyuan, who had not interjected, explained to Zuo Congrong.

"Isn't that no problem, there are four powerhouses in our academy now. Other colleges will definitely not have such a lineup, and the number will be enough to make people shut up obediently. Zuo Congrong said very simply.

"It's impossible!" Shion retorted. Zuo Congrong took all this for granted, but the actual situation was completely inconsistent with the assumption, and Zuo Congrong's suggestion was not feasible in the slightest.

"What are you for?" asked Zuo Congrong incomprehensibly.

"Because there are restrictions! The strong ones only have the right to participate. Ziyuan said with a cherished word.

"Why?" Zuo Congrong's eyes widened. said indignantly.

"It's you yourself who are too idealistic. Let me ask you, in your opinion, how many power-level students will there be in an academy?" It was not Ziyuan who answered Zuo Congrong, but Bai Ye, who was sitting behind the desk.

"One or two. Or none of them are possible!" Zuo Congrong, who didn't know anything about the Imperial Capital Academy, guessed conservatively. After all, you need to become a strong person before the age of fifty, and there won't be much of this type of genius, if you extrapolate it according to common sense. It's good to have an even distribution of one person from each house.

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable! Indeed, except for our academy, there is basically only one strong man in each academy in other academies, so there is only one place in the strong level competition. However, although there is only one place, it occupies the most important weight, and only the competition of the strong can determine the true ranking of the academy. Bai Ye said.

"I know this, I've just said it. ”

"It's not enough to win the academy ranking, if the other two divisions still lose badly, the situation of our academy will not change much, so we have to win another level of championship, so even if the ranking of the last level is bad, it will definitely be fine. If you explain it like this, would you like to contribute to our academy?" asked Bai Ye.

"I ......"

"Oh, by the way, don't underestimate the competence-level competition, even if your basic ability is not bad, there are also very strong people among the capable. Some academies may not have confidence in the battle of the strong, and they will focus more on the other two levels. Without waiting for Zuo Congrong to answer the question, Bai Ye suddenly interrupted Zuo Congrong and admonished.

"That, I didn't say I would go to the competition!" Zuo Congrong said in a cold sweat, although Bai Ye's momentum is very strong at the moment, but Zuo Congrong has not lost his due judgment, from the beginning to the present, Zuo Congrong has never said that he agreed to the competition.

"You're going to compete, according to what Shion told me, you shouldn't have the money to pay for the academy's tuition, right? As long as this thing is still there, you won't be able to escape the fate of the competition. I'm telling you this just to let you decide for yourself whether or not to release water in the middle of the third-tier competition. Bai Ye patted the contract on the table and said to the left.

"In the end, he has lived for hundreds of years...... People, the means are really not ordinary ruthless, they are simply not leaky!" Zuo Congrong said hatefully, looking very unwilling.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Seeing Zuo Congrong's current attitude, Bai Ye already knew Zuo Congrong's decision, and easily and freely perfunctory Zuo Congrong's ridicule.

□□

"Ah Rong, you wait!" Zuo Congrong came out of the office not long ago, and a soft voice came from behind him.

"Hmm, Sister Ziyuan, what's wrong?" Zuo Congrong asked, turning around.

"Thank you!"

"Ah~, it's nothing, it's all like this, I can't say it too much if I don't work hard. Besides, I am also a student of the college, so I should do something to help. Zuo Congrong, who had never thought that Ziyuan would thank him in this way, couldn't help but be stunned, and then said politely.

"No, I mean before!" Shion said. Since Zuo Congrong woke up, the two have not talked alone, and taking today's opportunity, Ziyuan chased him out.

"Ah, that, that's nothing, didn't you invite the elders of the magic group to help me heal my wounds later, even if it was flattened. Zuo Congrong said.

"Is that so, you shouldn't have even thought about your own life in the first place, right?" Shion asked.

“...... At that time, where can you care so much, rather than two people dying there, it is better to gamble. "Left from Rong Road.

"When you saved me, was there only one thought?" Looking at Zuo Congrong's understated attitude, Ziyuan's expression became more and more solemn, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

“...... That's pretty much it, Sister Ziyuan is my best friend!" Zuo Congrong said with a little weakness. At that time, other factors were indeed taken into account, or rather, that "other factors" were the direct reason why Zuo Congrong rushed forward regardless of his life in the first place, especially the extremely similar face, which made Zuo Congrong rush over almost instinctively. But these are not things that can be said to the Aster in front of her, no matter how similar they are, it is not her.

"So, let me ask you, who are you?" Shion didn't continue to ask, diverting the subject.

"Who am I? Zuo Congrong, who else can I be?" Zuo Congrong replied a little inexplicably.

"Is it just Zuo Congrong? Holding a person, wearing such obstructive clothes, he can also use the acceleration to the point where he can shake off the adult wind roar. A master of this level, I think even if it is in the camp, there should be no one who can beat you in speed, such a character, I don't think it will be an unknown person. Are you really just Zuo Congrong?" Zi Yuan analyzed carefully.

"It's really not just Zuo Congrong, I remember telling you when I was in the forest, I'm a ghost! But none of you believed me at the beginning, if I tell you now that I'm a ghost, will you believe it?" Zuo Congrong didn't hide anything, and revealed this identity to Ziyuan again.

......

"Don't you believe it?" After Zuo Congrong finished speaking, Zi Yuan didn't answer, just stared at Zuo Congrong tightly, her deep and dark purple pupils, unable to peek out her true thoughts from them. After a long time, Zuo Congrong asked again.

"No, I believe it!, it's just that I want to know who you are before the ghost!" Shion calmly asked a tricky question again.

"Why do you ask that?" Zuo Congrong's heart has already set off a stormy wave at this moment, and his own affairs are not even clear to sworn brothers like Zuo Congwen or Hai Dongling, how can the aster in front of him know this. However, although he was surprised, his expression did not change, and he asked calmly.

"It's nothing, I just don't think the name ghost is a name that people should use. It's just a little curious, don't care. Seeing that Zuo Congrong's expression did not change at all, Ziyuan also perfunctory this question.

"Oh!"

"So, see you again. Oh, by the way, I'll keep your affairs secret for you, don't worry!" Shion ended the conversation without getting a satisfactory answer, turned and walked away.

"Oh, see you ...... again" (to be continued......
