"Liliane, you're mistaken. Charles hurriedly explained, a little blood welling up on his pale face.

"I don't need to explain, don't I know who you are?" Lilian said, snatching the package from the guard next to her, who also knew the identity of the woman in front of him and didn't dare to dodge.

"Here, it's your stuff. Lilian turned her head and changed her face, and smiled at Mu Yi.

"Thank you. Mu Yi took the package and said to the old man in the store, "Hurry up and settle the bill." ”

"Okay, okay. Only then did the old man react, and hurriedly put the gold card in his hand on the instrument on the table, and with a sound, the transaction was finally completed.

The old man respectfully returned the gold card to Mu Yi and flattered: "I gave you a twenty percent discount, I'm really sorry for you." ”

Mu Yi smiled and took the card, this matter actually didn't depend on the shopkeeper, he was just a monk in the Qi refining period, and he didn't dare to provoke anyone.

"Now that the matter is clear, let's disperse. Lilian said coldly to Charles, and then took Mu Yi's arm with a smile, "Let's go, I'll introduce you to our shop in Wuling Building, which can be regarded as a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." ”

Mu Yi frowned slightly, this girl named Lilian had never known him, and he was quite surprised by such an intimate move, but when he saw Charles's pig-liver-like face, he suddenly realized that he put aside the thought of refusal.

In these days in the Principality of Rus, Mu Yi has gradually become accustomed to the etiquette of the Western Continent. Although I'm not too embarrassed to kiss when I meet, it doesn't matter if I hug and hug, pull my arm or something. Anyway, it's a man who takes advantage, isn't it?

Charles watched Mu Yi and Lilian go away, his face gloomy and terrifying. The black-clothed middle-aged man next to him reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is the territory of the Five Spirits Academy, and it's not easy for us to do it." ”

"I know, this damn guy. Charles scolded viciously, "I was going to teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect you to dare to entangle with Lilian, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Mu Yi in the distance naturally couldn't hear Charles's curse, but mechanically followed Lilian's footsteps, and it wasn't until she turned a corner that Lilian put down the slender hand wrapped around Mu Yi's arm.

"I'm sorry. Lillian made a Western gesture, "I just wanted to get rid of that scoundrel sooner, so that's why I want to show you around." ”

"I know, little things. Mu Yi shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent, "You just broke the siege for me, I should thank you." ”

The common hatred for Charles made the strangers quickly get acquainted. Lillian smiled, "How did you mess with that scum." ”

"I didn't mess with him, he was looking for trouble. Mu Yi made a long story short, if he explained the causes and consequences on the train in detail, it would be verbose.

"That's right, he's that kind of person. When Lillian mentioned Charles, she looked disgusted, as if she had some deep hatred.

Her expression successfully aroused Mu Yi's interest: "Then I wonder what Miss Lilian has to do with that villain?"

Lillian hesitated and whispered, "He was my boyfriend and my fiancé. ”

"Oh?" Mu Yi's mind turned, and he immediately guessed the key, "Presumably the life of His Royal Highness Charles is not very disciplined." ”

"What's more!" cried Lillian, "he's a lustful villain, and he has touched many women, even the maid in the house. Originally, when I was in the academy, I thought that his character was as charming as his appearance, but after I got engaged, I learned that he was such a person. Not only that, but he is greedy, despicable, and has no gentlemanly demeanor. ”

"That's unfortunate. Mu Yi expressed deep sympathy, "In that case, you can dissolve the marriage contract." I remember that marriage in the Western Continent was always free. ”

"That is true, but the families on both sides of us do not agree. This paper marriage is just a tool for the union of two families. Not only did the Kingdom of Ylang not agree to dissolve the marriage, but even my father persuaded me to marry him. Lillian clenched her fists and clenched her hands red.

Mu Yi scratched his head, this kind of big family matter is not something he can cover, but when it comes to this, he can only continue to ask: "I don't know who Miss Lilian's father is, he must also be a great figure." ”

Lilian glanced at him strangely, obviously feeling that Mu Yi was a little surprised that she didn't recognize her: "My father is the dean of the Five Spirits Academy. ”

"The dean of the Five Spirits Academy!" Mu Yi didn't expect the background of the girl in front of him to be so deep, he was very surprised, "The status of the respected father is so respectful, do you also need to win over the prince of a kingdom?"

Lilian smiled bitterly, "The Five Spirits Academy is just an academy, not a country. The dean is not the head of state, but is only elected to manage the affairs of the college. This position is not easy to sit in, although he has a lot of power and controls the cultivation resources of the entire continent, he can be squeezed down by other competitors at any time, how can he not go around to win over supporters. ”

A person suddenly popped out of Mu Yi's mind, that is, the bearded man who was called Dean Wood on the train, this person was also called Dean, could it be Lilian's father, so he asked, "I've seen Dean Wood, I don't know what it has to do with Miss." ”

"Uncle Wood," Lilian smiled a little more at the mention of this person, "The Five Spirits Academy has five branches. Uncle Wood is the dean of the Earth Branch, and he has the closest relationship with his father, and he treats me very well, but I didn't expect you to know him too. ”

"I don't dare to know. Mu Yi shook his head, "It's just that there is a side in the car." ”

Lilian nodded, Mu Yi didn't say anything more, and for a while, there was a bit of a cold scene between the two.

After walking aimlessly for a while, Lilian stopped: "It's a pleasure to meet you today. We've been talking for so long, I don't know your name yet. ”

Mu Yi patted his head: "It's me who is rude." I just know your name from Charles's mouth, but I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Mu Yi, and I just came from the Eastern Continent. ”

"Just from the Eastern Continent?" Lilian's blue eyes widened, "No wonder you have to know me, the founder of the Five Spirits Academy is from the Eastern Continent, are there many cultivators over there now?" It is said that a hundred years ago, all the cultivators there left. Nowadays, many teachers in Wuling Academy are also from the Eastern Continent. ”

"It's okay. Mu Yi said vaguely, "The founder of the Five Spirits Academy turned out to be from the Eastern Continent?

"I don't know. Lillian shook her head, "His cultivation is unfathomable, and it is rare to see him unless there is something important." ”

Mu Yi nodded, and the two fell silent again, and the corridor in the building soon came to an end, and the two had to stop.

"That's it. Mu Yi scratched his head and said, "In a few days, I will also represent the Principality of Ross in the competition for freshmen places in the academy." We'll definitely see you again. ”

Lilian pursed her lips and looked up, "Okay, I'll see you then." ”

Mu Yi couldn't stand this embarrassing atmosphere, and since the other party also said goodbye, he didn't stay any longer, politely saluted and left.

As soon as his right foot stepped out of the door of Wuling Tower, Lilian's crisp voice came from behind him: "Mu Yi, you are the only person I have ever met who dares to argue with Charles." ”

Mu Yixin said: "The barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes, I am not afraid of him because I have no scruples, and others are afraid that they are not so free." But the other party praised him, and he had to turn around and be modest: "Miss Lilian has won the award, and Mu Yi is just a little enthusiastic." ”

Lillian nodded heavily, two blush flashes flying across her face.

Returned to the room of the Principality of Rus, the Lord of Rus was sleeping, but Luo Fatzi and the three guards were nowhere to be found, probably going out for a stroll. Mu Yi didn't bother Grand Duke Ross, and went straight back to his back room.

As soon as he sat down in the chair, Mu Yi found a booklet on the table. Take a look, it turned out to be the event arrangement for the freshman competition of Wuling Academy, which must have been put here by Luo Tian for him to watch in advance.

Flipping through it slightly, Mu Yi couldn't help but nod secretly, Wuling Academy still put some thought into the arrangement of the schedule and competition system of the competition, not only not to offend various countries, but also to maximize the mining of talents.

The competition is divided into two stages: preliminary round and semi-final. In the preliminary stage, according to the different empires, kingdoms, and principalities, there are three levels of competition, and each country competes for places in its own level.

Among them, the three empires competed for 300 of the 1,000 places, the ten kingdoms competed for 500 places, and the remaining 200 places were fought by more than 100 principalities.

The competition system is also very simple, the three empires each send a hundred cultivators above the Jindan stage. Each of the three parties has one person, fights each other, and wins one game counts as one point. Places are then allocated based on the results of the points. A total of 100 small combinations, 300 battles.

The same is true of the ten kingdoms, but the lot is divided into three groups. Two groups of three countries, one group of four countries. The rules are also points-based.

The competition between more than 100 principalities was fierce. These principalities basically only have one or three cultivators above the Golden Pill stage, and the number of cultivators represents the strength of the principality. For the sake of fairness, the battle between the principalities allows all cultivators above the Golden Pill to participate, and the quota is also determined according to the points.

After the preliminary round, it is the semi-final. The semi-finals are actually more of a formality, allowing practitioners from low-level countries to challenge practitioners from high-level countries, and if the practitioners from low-level countries lose, their student quota will go to the high-level countries. If the low-cost countries win, they receive a student quota from the high-ranking country equal to their existing quota.

Of course, basically no low-level country challenges a high-level country, and no small country dares to offend a big country like this, and it does not have that strength!
