The Qiao family's compound is simply a Western-style manor, but at this time, it is late at night, and most of the Qiao family's children who are training have returned to their rooms, and the manor is a little empty.

Not far from the center of this completely Western-style manor, there is a very conspicuous Chinese-style courtyard. Outside the courtyard, there is a bamboo building made of bamboo and wood in the center, and the green and charming under the moonlight is like a standing jade Xiao, and the courtyard is faintly filled with a faint and elegant fragrance.

A woman in the bamboo building is lighting a candle, she is wearing a long skirt and a ocarina-like musical instrument tied to one side of her waist.

can allow the Qiao family to tear down and rebuild such a small courtyard bamboo building full of oriental charm in the heart of the manor, and the identity of the woman in this building is already self-evident - it is Miss Gui.

She was fiddling with the ocarina-like instrument in one hand, and was about to play it when she suddenly paused again, and finally shook her head, tied the 'ocarina' back to her waist, and stared at the candle with her beautiful eyes, as if there was some moving story being played out there.

Miss Gui sat at the window and looked at the candles, like a fairy in the earth, and seemed to have a charm like the head of the green building.

This is a standard classical beauty, her appearance and figure are indescribably good-looking, and the adjectives such as 'sinking fish and geese' and 'alluring the country and the city' are not at all praiseworthy on her.

In terms of appearance, this Miss Gui is on par with Rose, and both are a little charming.

But the charm of the rose is the kind of fox spirit charm, and Miss Gui's charm is the style of 'A Chinese Ghost Story', she is just like Xiao Qian, charming and a little quiet and elegant, there is a kind of sultry charm that wants to talk about it.

It wasn't until the cloud shadow covered the slanting moon that Miss Gui withdrew her gaze, but she said to herself: "Zuoqiao's figure has recovered again? How is this possible? Could it be that his body hides the secret I am looking for?"

At this thought, Miss Gui even had the urge to visit the left bridge at night, but considering that it was no longer the time for her to enter and leave the Fanyue Academy at will, she had to suppress this idea for the time being.

Somehow, she unconsciously hummed the song "The Age of Farewell" that Zuoqiao sang at the end of the concert.

"Love comes from now

can be blindly happy

In this era, it is easy to say goodbye

Love like it, like staying out of it"

Miss Gui hummed the last line softly, "Is this song really sung to me?

In the days I've been away from you, it seems like you've changed a lot. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Before Zuo Qiao could find a way to get on the line with the Linsi people, he suddenly received a task from the dean on this day, saying that he wanted him to go to the forest in the back mountain outside the city to explore the cause of the recent crustal changes, and see if there was another 'black spring' in the forest.

This kind of task released near graduation is also equivalent to a tradition of Fanyue Academy, the task is generally not too difficult, and no one will refuse, it is regarded as the last contribution to the academy to say goodbye.

Zuo Qiao's mission this time was to explore the black spring in the forest, which was just suitable for him who had just recovered to the fourth layer of the first realm to use to recover his state, and it could be seen that the task sent by the dean still took a lot of thought.

Speaking of Black Spring, we have to mention the history of the Beauty Continent. The history of the entire continent is divided into three epochs, of which in the second era, the entire continent is controlled by a being called the 'Old Gods'.

The so-called 'ancient gods' are beings who do not distinguish between beauty and ugliness, they have no fixed form, and they cannot even be called living beings. The ancient gods feed on the emotions and aesthetics of intelligent beings, and under their rule, more than sixty percent of the intelligent beings on the continent have been devoured emotionally and aesthetically, and live like the walking dead.

This situation lasted until the end of the Third Age, when the new gods, represented by the four main gods such as the God of War and the Goddess of Magic, worked together to set off a rebellion, and finally defeated the old gods and sealed them in the 'Old God Dream Realm', and the Third Age also began It is said that it was because of the great achievements in this battle that the Linsi people had the ability to control the shadow network after the beginning of the Third Age.

In the years following the beginning of the Third Age, the Dream of the Old Gods was cracked for some unknown reason, and some of the sleeping bodies of the Old Gods were cut by the cracks, and the blood flowed out of the dream cracks, seeped into the earth, and finally combined with the underground water flow, and this underground water source mixed with the blood of the Old Gods was called the 'Black Spring'.

These 'black springs' will randomly appear in various corners of the continent as the dreams of the old gods change, and usually their appearance will be accompanied by the movement of the earth's crust. And when the Black Spring appears, all the water sources within a certain range around it will be polluted by it, and any living form that drinks these polluted water sources will be controlled by the blood of the ancient gods, turning into a kind of walking corpse that has lost its mind and aesthetics, and the impact is extremely terrifying!!

Therefore, any country or city in the other world has a very strict control over the surrounding area, just to be able to discover it as soon as it appears in the Black Spring, and prevent it from happening.

Zuo Qiao's task this time was only to find out if there was a black spring near the forest, and he didn't need to deal with it personally, as long as he brought back the results of the investigation, so with his strength at the peak of the fourth layer of the realm, he was enough to be competent.

There is no specific time limit for this mission, but Zuoqiao is still ready to complete it as soon as possible.

When I got home after receiving the task, I opened the door and saw that Rose was shopping on TV to help buy a new cat food tray for supper. Seeing Zuoqiao coming back, Rose quickly reported the address of Zuoqiao's dormitory, and then turned her head to look at Zuoqiao, as if nothing had happened: "Are you back?~~ What is the matter with the old man looking for you?"

The corners of Zuo Qiao's eyes jumped: "You just bought this cat food tray for it for less than three weeks, and you have to change it to a new one?!!"

"Eh!" Rose stuck out her tongue and made a rare cute expression like a kitten, "This cat food plate is printed! Look at how cute the little white flowers are!"

"God is a special little white flower!" Zuo Qiao looked at the advertisement on the magic light screen and was about to collapse, "Is it okay for people to be a skull?!! besides, that cat food plate is not for you, it's cute and has a fart!! are you still going to take that cat food plate out of your eye bag?!!"

"Lying silkworm!!Old lady, this is a lying silkworm!!" Rose strangled Zuoqiao's heart, "You don't get tired of playing this stalk, right?!!"

Left Bridge loves to see Rose's angry and chaotic appearance, although he usually doesn't end well in the end when he angers Rose, but he is just cheap.

So when Wu Sizhu came to the door and pushed the door open, he saw Rose sitting on Zuoqiao and tearing his clothes.

"Uh" Wu Sizhu was stunned for 0.5 seconds, and then slammed his head on the door frame, "Eh?!, eh?!! why can't I see anything all of a sudden?!! Left Bridge~Rose~ Are you at home? I'll leave if I'm not there~~"

"You come back for me!" Rose dragged Wu Sizhu back with her neck by the collar, "What are you talking about?!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Zhuzi nodded again and again, "Then you play slowly, I won't bother for now!"

Rose smiled very seductively: "You're not done yet, are you?"

Wu Sizhu immediately stood up like a chopsticks and pestle there: "Okay, don't make trouble!" He tried to put out a poker face and asked Zuoqiao, "Boss, I heard that you received a task?"

Zuo Qiao nodded: "Well, let me go to the forest outside the city to find out if there is a black spring." ”

"Will you use me for help?"

There are a lot of people who are looking for Zuoqiao to contact their feelings these days, but only Xiaozhu is willing to spare time to accompany him to do tasks on the eve of the qualifiers.

Zuo Qiao smiled: "I don't need you, don't you also have a mission?" Besides, the forest has already been swept away by hunters and treasure hunters, how can there be powerful demon beasts, I just go to investigate the situation, there will be no danger." ”
