Chapter 8 Tianbao Xu Family (New Week Ticket Request~)
After a short hesitation, Li Yiren shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "You sign up now, what's the point except wasting money?" Zhou Xiao, go home, instead of being kicked out of the academy, it is better to apply to leave by yourself. β
"I'm going to participate in the Daowu selection. Zhou Xiao's tone was flat, but there was an undoubted resoluteness.
"Are you afraid of being ridiculed by the academy disciples?" Li Yiren sighed lightly: "This matter can't be concealed anymore, at most three days, the academy inspector will come to the door, and when it is found that your cultivation is not enough to be a third-order disciple, it will notify the whole academy and drive you out of the academy." Wait, are you afraid of being ridiculed by your family?"
Clan...... The Zhou family?
Zhou Xiao's eyes flickered, he was a young disciple cultivated by the Zhou family, and the high-level was very good to him, but he was extremely cold to his father. Over the years, Zhou Xiao has worked hard to practice, half of the reason is for his father. He always thought that as long as he worked hard enough and was good enough, his father would be able to gain the corresponding respect, even if it was a little more. But even if he rushed to the top five of the Zhou family's children of the same age, the situation still did not improve.
He couldn't imagine how much ridicule and abuse he would suffer when he returned to Langya Zhou's house after losing his talent and cultivation at the same time. He wasn't worried about being ridiculed, but he was afraid that if he went back like this, his father, who had already lost his dignity, would have another laughing stock. Maybe the Zhou family already knew about him...... Damn it!
"Take it. Zhou Xiao forced the four silver coins into Li Yiren's hand, turned around and left.
Only that Xuanyuan Transformation Divine Pill could restore his cultivation, and he had to rush to the Medicine Refining Pavilion as soon as possible!
A figure flashed by, blocking Zhou Xiao's way.
"Stop. β
It was the fat apprentice of the tenth order of the Taoist disciple who stopped Zhou Xiao, he was a head taller than his peers, and his eyes were deeper than his peers, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be a faint purple at the bottom of his eyes, looming. The originally arrogant and sharp eyes were a little more naΓ―ve because of his round fat face.
"Introduce yourself, the chief apprentice of the Third Medicine Refining Pavilion, Xu Shouyun. The tall and fat apprentice looked at Zhou Xiao, his eyes were like swords: "I'm very interested in your way of gambling and fighting, how did you do it?"
"Guess. Zhou Xiao finished speaking and was leaving.
"You can't get it right ten times in a row, no one in the world has such good luck. Xu Shouyun stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Xiao, and said slowly: "Tell me your gambling techniques, and you can become my subordinate, and I will cover you in the Heavenly Eagle Academy in the future." β
Many of the apprentices looked envious.
Xu Shouyun, the coldest, most arrogant, and most mysterious existence among the top ten senior apprentices. Although this gambling room was built by him, it was more like he had pulled a group of idlers to play with him, and not only the twelve pavilion masters turned a blind eye to his behavior, but even the hot-tempered Tiancripple owner didn't care. He has no friends in the medicine shop or even the Sky Eagle Academy, he has no subordinates, even if he is a senior apprentice, he can't look down on him, it is said that two of the top ten senior apprentices were beaten into a pig's head by Xu Shouyun because they looked at him unpleasantly, and left a psychological shadow. Many apprentices are already comparing Xu Shouyun with the disciples of the Genius Academy of the Main Academy, and they are thinking about being favored by Xu Shouyun and becoming the entourage of this strong apprentice.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shouyun actually took a fancy to Zhou Xiao.
As long as Zhou Xiao takes refuge in Xu Shouyun and becomes Xu Shouyun's subordinate, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the pharmacy, and no one will dare to bully him again...... What good luck! Many apprentices were secretly envious.
Zhou Xiao stopped, and a strange flash flashed on his face.
Every apprentice in the medicine workshop fell into Zhou Xiao's eyes, and a paragraph would appear in his mind, showing the other party's information.
Xu Shouyun is no exception, but the information displayed is blank - "Name, unknown." Age, unknown. Affiliation, unknown. Xiuwei, unknown. Talent, unknown ......"
Zhou Xiao's gaze swept from top to bottom and quickly swept over Xu Shouyun.
Xu Shouyun wears a uniform, accessories, and protective gear similar to that of an apprentice in a medicine workshop, but under Zhou Xiao's scrutiny, a shocking secret gradually emerges.
"Junfeng Dao Armor, it can conceal the aura of cultivation, and can prevent the full force of the Ninth Order Dao Master, with a pass price of twenty crystals. β
"The Seven Stars Demon Ring can lead the light of the stars to be invisible, and when walking in the wilderness, you can avoid demons, and the pass price is fifty crystals. β
"The Phantom Pseudo Jiao Boots of Tianwang Dao City, you can fly to the sky and dive into the river, and when you walk in the wilderness, you can avoid the thunder and fire, and the pass price is thirty crystal coins. β
"Lin Ji Xiaoqiankun Ring has a capacity of 20 standard stocks, and the pass price is 10 crystals. β
"Arm guards...... The information is unknown. β
"Gaiters...... The information is unknown. β
......
Coo, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After winning a hundred silver coins, he had the illusion of getting rich overnight, but compared with this Xu Shouyun, he suddenly turned back into a poor egg.
Just the line that Xu Shouyun could recognize all over his body was no less than three hundred crystal coins! One crystal coin was equal to one hundred gold coins, and three hundred crystal coins were thirty thousand gold coins, which was an unimaginable astronomical amount for Zhou Xiao, who had never had more than thirty copper coins in pocket money before entering the Heavenly Eagle Academy!
Although the Zhou family is the top three big families in Langya City, the second avenue city of Tianfeng Country, only the head of the Zhou family will wear more than 10,000 gold coins on the grand festival.
This fat man's magnanimity is already comparable to that of the head of the Zhou family! Although these expensive costumes and protective gear look very rustic on him, he is definitely a local tyrant and rich man!
His information is unknown, and that's because his origins are far beyond the Aquila Academy, and even the Heavenly Wind Country. This point, Zhou Xiao has found proof from some details in Xu Shouyun's clothing. He vaguely felt that Xu Shouyun had the possibility of deceiving even his strength.
This fat and dirty money, what did he do at the Aquila Academy?
Xu Shouyun didn't know that Zhou Xiao had already given him a nickname after a while.
"Hey, have you thought about it? Do you still have to think about this for a long time?" Xu Shouyun folded his arms and stomped his feet impatiently.
"Not interested. β
After Zhou Xiao finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, no matter how rich and mysterious the "Fat Tucai" was, it had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to resume his cultivation as soon as possible.
"Stop, boy, you hurt someone on my territory, and you want to leave?" Xu Shouyun appeared in front of Zhou Xiao, and a cold light appeared in his narrowed eyes.
Because of a secret, a bet, and a task that had to be completed, he was forced to come here, and he was bored to death in the face of a group of naΓ―ve and weak peers. Zhou Xiao's appearance made him discover a certain toy that was barely novel, and in order to find out Zhou Xiao's cheating methods when gambling drugs, he did not hesitate to promise to accept Zhou Xiao as his subordinate.
But he never expected that he would be rejected! He had no doubt that as long as he revealed a little bit of his true identity, the Dean of the Aquila Academy would run over and stammer!
That's it, this little gangster who has no eyes and doesn't understand anything, he will never understand what he missed today in his life.
Xu Shouyun was not interested, until Zhou Xiao's voice sounded in his ears again.
"The people of the Xu family of Tianbao Dao City, what are you doing here at the Heavenly Eagle Academy?"
Xu Shouyun's body stiffened and looked at Zhou Xiao in surprise.
"Tianfeng Country belongs to the third-tier Dao country according to its geographical location, and Tianbao Dao City ranks high among the second-tier Dao cities. From your family's location to the country of the Heavenly Winds, separated by a sea of bone god ice, three mountain ranges, 100,000 miles of wasteland and blood, bone beasts are infested, demons are rampant, and the danger is abnormal. β
"Even if your Xu family is one of the giant chaebols in Dongzhou, it will take a huge price to cross the Bone God Ice Sea and the Wasteland Blood Land. β
"You hide your identity, you are sneaky, you are either a traitor or a thief. Bother me again, be careful that I expose you. β
After Zhou Xiao finished speaking, he saw "Fat Tucai" stunned on the spot, satisfied and left quickly.
Xu Shouyun's face was full of incredulity, the other party not only revealed his true identity, but also made the specific itinerary clear, this is definitely not the knowledge that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old elementary school apprentice should have!
Uncanny!
Xu Shouyun quickly turned around and grabbed Zhou Xiao: "Wait!
