He crossed the stone bridge and tread the water, and in the flash of light he was back on the bridge, holding a wet boy in his hands.

The boy's condition is a little unoptimistic, his vital signs have dropped to the extreme, and holding it in his hand is like holding a piece of ice.

The man frowned, "Go back to the school palace, he's dying!"

When Zhao Xuezhen was six years old, he wandered in front of the ghost gate, but the door of life was finally opened for him, and the hand of death failed to drag him into the abyss.

The man who tread the water snatched him from the clutches of death and rewrote his life.

Walking through the dense foliage of the sun, walking through the forest is like walking on a golden ancient road, the breeze blows the leaves swaying, and the crisp bird cries from time to time. Zhao Xueji walked on this golden ancient road, his white clothes were incompatible with these oily green plants, but this white color was very suitable for him, like a blue sky, spotless, from the birth of the world to the present, it has never changed other colors.

It's another summer, Zhao Xuechen is eighteen years old, and today, too, is also a special day, he can finally leave this endless forest where he has lived for five years.

He has talent, a very high talent, and on the day of awakening, he shocked everyone with the awakening of two heavenly spirit roots. In order to keep the genius who was born, the top management of the Academy Palace blocked all his news and information about him.

He also lived up to his expectations, reaching the rank of a third-level mage at the age of thirteen. Of course, as a genius, he should be arrogant, and this is the posture that a genius should have. Of course, the school palace will not bury such a genius, the meaning of the school's existence is to cultivate a powerful magician, but the ban of the school palace only allows the use of one element in front of others.

He didn't care, at least it was better than a ban on not allowing the use of elements.

When he was eleven years old, Zhao Xueji avenged the hatred of the slaughtering village, he held a long sword, his eyes were like knives, and he killed the mountain bandits one by one in the sea of fire, he ignored the cries and begs for mercy of the mountain bandits, because these mountain bandits still killed them in the begging of the villagers for mercy, and laughed merrily. When he killed, he didn't laugh, because he hated killing, he hated the scarlet blood flowing gracefully on the ground, and he didn't know why these mountain bandits who died under his sword could still laugh when they killed, they were obviously afraid of death, they were obviously afraid of death, they were also afraid of death, but they killed and deprived others of their lives.

The last bandit fell at his feet, his eyes still filled with fear. He watched the piercing blood flow into a river, with the thrill of revenge and the guilt of murder.

He struggled for several years, and at this moment when his wish was fulfilled, he was a little empty, and he had no goal to fight again. The lead-gray sky was just like his heart at the moment, hazy like a fog, making it impossible to find the path under his feet, not knowing whether there was solid ground or a bottomless cliff ahead.

The man who came to arrest him was his mentor, and he did not resist. In fact, even if he resisted, it was useless, Lin Xiaoyun could hold him down steadily with just one hand. It's as simple as swatting an ant to death, and it's effortless.

In the adjudication department of the school palace, in the dark hall, several school palace elders sent the results of his trial to the back mountain and thought about it for eight years.

The back mountain is cold, except for trees and trees, and there is a small thatched hut.

He was a little reluctant to leave his eight-year residence. This is the load that has carried his eight years of time, shielding him from countless winds and rains, giving him dryness and warmth. For eight years, he was so familiar with everything that he could tell by feeling alone with his eyes closed.

When the appointed time came, the senior sister who came to pick up Shao Xuechen hadn't come yet, and waiting was not Shao Xuechen's style of doing things, so he picked up his bags and went down the mountain.

As soon as Shao Xuechen got off the mountain, he heard that today was the birthday of the chief disciple of the Academy, and he immediately understood why his senior sister didn't come to pick him up from the mountain. Standing in the crowd, others kept passing by him, and he was a little frightened, and his hands were clasped together and twisted with each other. He didn't know where Su Xun would hold his birthday, so he could only ask people, but he could only stumble like a dumb person, and occasionally repeat a word several times.

Su Xun hid in the backcourt, took deep breaths over and over again, drank a large sip of water from time to time, his stomach was also round, and he could still shake the sound of water when he made large movements.

Today he is the protagonist, with luxurious clothes draped over his body, as if he doesn't want money, and as if he is not afraid of the heat.

He suffered so much about himself, all because he wanted to pursue the girl he liked, although this girl had never been in love with him, but at his birthday party, she should not refuse herself in front of everyone, let herself lose face, as long as she doesn't refuse, it will be easy to do.

"Hey, you're here. ”

A female voice, Lin Yunzhu's friend Tang Yan stood in front of him, grinning.

"After so many rehearsals, why are you still so nervous?"

"How can you not be nervous. Su Xun was a little afraid, "What should I do if she rejects me?"

"Believe me, with Yunzhu's character, she won't reject you in front of so many people. Tang Yan said, "The flames of war have been ignited, the trumpet of the charge has been sounded, put away your cowardice, even if you are the weakest soldier, you have to rush to the enemy, even if you fail this time, you will leave a deep impression in her heart, which will be of great benefit to you." ”

"Just follow the plan, believe in yourself, and you'll succeed. ”

Tang Yan touched his head like a big sister, and said this in the tone of a veteran in the love field.

"Alright, it's time for you to play, warrior, and when you're successful, I'll sing a triumphant song for you. ”

Su Xun was pushed to the center of the hall by Tang Yan in a hurry, and the panic in his eyes was like a five or six-year-old child who had lost his parents, and he was about to cry in the next second. But after all, he was a big disciple, and he quickly adjusted his mood. Unhurriedly combed his clothes, snapped his fingers, and with a "snap", his courtship officially began.

He really straightened his waist like a warrior, and was about to go to the front line to die generously. The wall behind him was surrounded by a huge curtain that read, "Lin Yunzhu, I like you." ”

Su Xun felt that this was a very old-fashioned sentence, but Tang Yan told him that girls would eat this set. All they want is happiness, and they don't care about the old-fashioned way of confession.

The onlookers were a little surprised, but his friends called for the crowd to heckle, and it was clear that they were complicit. As the planner of this courtship, Tang Yan was even more crazy to pull the onlookers to coax, jumping up and down like a lioness. She had deduced this plan in her mind countless times, but she didn't expect the reality to work out even better than she thought.

"Today is my birthday party. Su Xun said loudly, "I have reached the age of graduation, but according to the rules of the school palace, you must go to the battlefield and go through a lot of wind and rain to be eligible for graduation." I don't know if I'll ever come back alive. ”

Everyone made way so that he could look at her.

"I want to say...... It has already been said on the curtain. But I'm going to fight anyway. If I die on the battlefield, it won't be a big loss, I haven't found a girlfriend yet. ”

As the heroine, Lin Yunzhu's face is like a blood-stained rouge, red like the poisonous apple used by the resentful queen in the fairy tale of the Sith Empire to coax the princess, and her body can't help but tremble slightly under the light. Under the coaxing of Su Xun's friends, everyone at the scene cheered, "Promise him, promise him." ”

"Well done, it's worth putting so much effort into you. Tang Yan applauded warmly.

Su Xun strode up to her, pressed his hands, and signaled the crowd to be quiet. There was silence.

He looked at her like that, and slowly stretched out his hands to hold hers.

To refuse or not to refuse? Rejecting him will make him lose face, but I don't like him, what should I do? Lin Yunzhu's heartbeat at this moment is no less than the pulse generated in the depths of the earth, fluttering. She felt that this was the most embarrassing time of her life.

At this moment, Lady Luck embraced her into her arms, and as if she couldn't open her eyes with a dazzling light, a god came.

The god's gaze was like a sword, and everyone's eyes turned to him, and everyone was silent. The light he exudes also makes others unable to open their eyes, and the limelight is strong.

"She won't promise you. Because she had to go with me. The man walked over, his voice cold. His voice echoed through the hall, and everyone could hear what he was saying.

Lin Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he was here.

Everyone was at a loss for this intruder, and at this moment, everyone was thinking, who is this guy who is a strong girl with a senior brother?

Shao Xuechen glanced at Su Xun up and down, and then pulled Lin Yunzhu and left the scene. Su Xun, who was left stunned, stood like a sculpture, and after a while, his legs trembled as if he had suffered a great blow, as if he was unable to support his weight, and he was shaking.

His friends rushed up and held him up at the right time, so that he did not fall to the ground and throw a bigger man. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be news in the school palace that "the chief disciple of the school palace was rejected for love and collapsed the scene".

"How's it going?"

"Who was that guy just now?"

His friends shushed and asked for warmth.

Tang Yan walked over and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this situation." As an apology, I'm willing to give you back what you bribed me. ”

Su Xun waved his hand, not blaming her. Tang Yan was transferred to the Fengyuan Academy halfway, and it was normal not to know about Shao Xuechen.

"It's Shao Xuechen who is back, and the eight-year time limit has expired. ”

The audience left the hall one after another, and Su Xun staggered out of the hall gate, the hall was richly decorated, but this magnificence did not belong to him. There is still mottled light and shadow outside, which looks a little illusory, like a dream, revealing unreality everywhere.

He was like being slashed with a sword, from the head to the tailbone, and lost his soul, hollow and numb. Fortunately, I still have a group of friends around me.

"Shao Xuechen is back, I don't have a chance. Su Xun said with a twitch in his face, a little hideous.

"No, how do you know if you don't try. His friend comforted him, "Chasing a girl is nothing more than being thick-skinned, you have to let her know that you really like her, and give her a sense of happiness." In this way, you don't have to go through the trouble of confessing, she will come to you herself. ”

Shao Xuechen and Lin Yunzhu walked on the cobblestone road, next to the river where Shao Xuechen had fallen into the water. This is where they would go every day when they were children, and they would lie on the guardrail with their feet on their feet and look at the river as if it were still. Lin Yunzhu would ask Shao Xuechen almost every day, "You were rescued from this river by my father, then, your home should be in the upper reaches of this river, do you know where your home is?"

At this time, Shao Xuechen would be confused for a while, looking at the river in a daze, although this question had been asked countless times, but after a while, he would still answer weakly as if he was going to die, "I don't know either." ”

At this time, Lin Yunzhu would pat him on the head and say, "It's really a child who has never been out of the house, and you will follow your senior sister in the future." ”

When she said this, she deliberately pretended to be old, and her voice was low, but she forgot that she was also a child who had never been far away.

"You're finally back. Lin Yunzhu said.

Shao Xuechen was obviously a little careless, so that he didn't hear it at all, and he was thinking about how to solve some things in his head. It wasn't until the third time that Lin Yunzhu was a little angry and looked for a topic before he came back to his senses. She was still wearing the same white floral dress, which she seemed to like very much, and she didn't know how many identical floral dresses she had made since she was a child. She still smells good and is very familiar.

"I was thinking about something, but I didn't hear it. ”

The two of them walked home, saying that they were going home, but in fact they should have gone back to their master's house. Because he is not his master's own son, he has felt a little raw for so long, but this kind of day when he is not the other party's own son can eat and drink in the other party's house all day long.

"I don't have anything to do with Su Xun, I don't know that he courted me today. Lin Yunzhu explained, her face was still a little crimson. After all, it was the first time to be confessed, and how could the shy heart calm down so quickly.

"yes, I see. Shao Xuechen nodded.

The two men walked on the gravel road with their heads bowed, no longer talking to each other, just hurrying, but their steps were surprisingly consistent.

When he was about to walk to the master's house, Shao Xuechen seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "I have some problems, I have to leave first to solve it, help me say hello to the master, remember to help me say some good things, I will thank you when I come back." ”

Lin Yunzhu knew what Shao Xuechen was going to do, simple and clear was Shao Xuechen's consistent style of doing things, she didn't stop him, the scene of blood flowing into a river eight years ago was confirmed.

"Then you have to come back quickly, I can't appease the old man for long. Lin Yunzhu said.

So, he walked the cobblestone road alone again, and found the lost Su Xun under a tree.

"Do you like this tree very much? After all this time, you still come here to relax. Hey, isn't it just a loss of face, don't you have to do this. Why do you have to make such a life-and-death dilemma?" Shao Xuechen rolled her eyes, "You're the chief disciple, don't be so weak." ”

To be honest, Shao Xuechen looks down on Su Xun a little like this, although he was embarrassed by his own Buddha, although it is embarrassing to be cut off by others during courtship, but there is no need to be like dying.

Su Xun's face began to twitch again, this guy ruined his good deeds, and he could still wear a "It's okay with me, I sympathize with you" expression and ran in front of him to comfort and cheer himself.

"Shao Xuechen, it's nothing to do with you, let's go......" Su Xun's friends urged Shao Xuechen to leave, with an expression of repelling disgusting flies.

Su Xun's heart was a little pounding, "If you are here to humiliate me, you don't need to say those words, you know me, those words are useless to me." ”

"Well, I'll give you a chance. Shao Xuechen said, "Defeat me, and you can get the opportunity to pursue my senior sister." ”

"Why should I fight you, can you make a decision for her?" Su Xun responded indifferently.

"If that's the case, then you've been chasing her for the rest of your life. Shao Xuejian's gaze was as sharp as a knife, "As long as I'm here." ”

"You're still as arrogant as ever. The moment the words came out, Su Xun was like a cold sword that was quickly unsheathed. An air pressure emanated from him, causing his friends to tremble. He was like a cheetah attacking rapidly on the grassland, the speed beyond the limit of human beings, incredible, Su Xun's figure was blurred.

Shao Xuechen held a simple sword in his hand, the blade was still shining with cold light, the long sword was picked up in his hand, held high in the air, condensed a dazzling light, and at the moment when Su Xun came, the long sword flashed and thundered, and it slashed straight down with a slaughter.

"Shao Xuechen, stop it, your sword will ......"

The moment the sword fell, a strong impact erupted, making Su Xun's friends have to take a few steps back. A narrow opening appeared in the ground, and the debris burst out with great power, leaving some marks on the faces of several onlookers.

When Shao Xueji's sword fell, Su Xun had already retreated one after another, avoiding its edge. He also holds a knife in his hand, the blade is long and narrow, like a sword, this is his favorite knife "Zhengxun".

At this moment, Shao Xuechen was at his weakest, and the sword he shot had not had time to be withdrawn, and he wanted to deal a fatal blow to Shao Xuechen before he could breathe again.

Su Xun's air pressure was raised to its peak at this moment, and his friends couldn't breathe under this strong air pressure.
