"Me?" Wuji didn't know what to say for a while. The great master of the Heavenly Academy wants to accept me as a disciple?

"Yes. The old man nodded affirmatively. "You don't have the ability to shapeshift, but you have enough courage and talent. I think if you are willing to join the Heavenly Academy, you may be able to bring me more surprises. Of course, the Heavenly Academy will give you the same surprise. ”

Mowgli hesitated for a moment.

He really wanted to have the opportunity to spend time with Ying Yiran, but he knew that their identities were very different, no less than a world apart. More importantly, the Heavenly Academy was the core of the empire and the sphere of royal influence, and he was born with an aversion to politics.

Because he knows that's not what he's good at.

He is very cautious in such moments. Because he knows that entering an unfamiliar field and becoming a leader requires unimaginable effort and hardship. Success is not easy to come by, and he is an obsessive-compulsive person and paranoid who either doesn't do it or does it.

He thought of what Linghu Minzhi had said. If this was the case, then he would never be able to succeed in the Heavenly Academy.

He has no surname Ying and no royal blood. This is not an obstacle that can be overcome with effort alone.

"I've heard people say that the Heavenly Academy is the first bloodline, and the disciples above the rank of the hall can't do it without the Ying bloodline. I wonder if that's true?"

"Linghu Minzhi said that, right?" the old man smiled, and there was some bitterness in his smile. He was silent for a moment and nodded: "That's right, although there is no book in the book, there is indeed such a practice. But do you know why?"

Mowgli shook his head.

"Because the Heavenly Academy holds the most mysterious wisdom of the empire, and even the entire Pangea Continent. The old man turned his head again, and his face full of the vicissitudes of time was solemn, which made people feel sacred. Such wisdom must be in the hands of the royal family in order to ensure peace in the world. ”

Wuji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously sneered at each other. "Is it? The Great Qin Empire has been fighting for thousands of years, and it hasn't seen peace. ”

"That's because the world hasn't been unified yet. If you don't conquer, the world will be uneasy. Ying Yiran walked over, glanced at Wuji coldly, and reached out to help the old man. "Sir, he doesn't understand anything, so why bother talking to him. ”

The old man waved his hand, signaling Ying Yiran to be restless.

"A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty. The old man chuckled softly, his eyes calm and calm. "You're right, the territory of the empire is paved with the bones of countless soldiers, but they have not enjoyed the peace they deserve, countless magnates have been reckless and extorted for wealth and power, the most typical representative of which is the royal family. ”

"However, although the national teachers and disciples of the Heavenly Academy are from the royal family and are also surnamed Ying, they are different from the royal family you think. ”

"We don't take wives, we don't have children, we don't have families, we don't start businesses. From the day we boarded the Heavenly Academy Academy, we drew a clear line with the royal family. We inherit the wisdom of humanity as a whole, not for the benefit of individuals. ”

Wuji raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight sarcasm. In his previous life, he was tired of hearing such great slogans, and he instinctively had a disdain.

"You don't believe it?" Seeing Wuji's expression, Ying Yiran couldn't hold back his anger.

"No, I do. Mowgli laughed, but there was no sincerity at all. "It's just that in this way, I dare not accept it even more. I want to get married, I want to have children, I want to start a family, I want to start a business, but I can't do such a great thing. So, old man, thank you for your kindness, I'm ashamed. ”

The old man sighed, and stopped talking.

Ying Yiran changed color, turned around and entered the cabin, and closed the hatch with a "bang".

The old man looked back, got up to say hello to Wuji, and walked into the cabin.

Wuji also sank his face, looked at the line of Tianshui in the distance, and said nothing.

In the cabin, the old man and Ying Yiran sat opposite each other, with kind faces and peaceful expressions, quietly looking at Ying Yiran.

"Why?" Ying Yiran wiped the tears from her eyes vigorously and said hatefully: "Sir, why did you ask him?"

"I want him to help you. ”

"I don't need him to help me. Ying Yiran gritted his teeth, "My surname is Ying, and I have the blood of the Ying family, for the sake of the empire, even if I am broken to pieces, I will not hesitate to do it, I don't need to be low, I don't need to be courteous to others, and I don't need a native common man to help me." ”

"Kid, you're still young. The old man stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on Ying Yiran's shoulder. "You haven't tasted life yet, and it's too early to say that. If you don't pick it up, you don't know if you can put it down? Before you go through a real storm, your so-called strength is all illusory. ”

Ying Yiran raised her head unconvinced. "Sir, do you suspect that my conviction is not strong enough?"

The old man met her aggressive gaze with a look of pain in his eyes. He turned his head, looked out the window, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Having strong shoulders can help you share the feeling of responsibility, okay?"

Ying was also stunned, and then her face turned red, pretending to be disdainful. "He's got strong shoulders, too?"

The old man smiled faintly and asked, "Is that sweet kiss intoxicating?"

Ying Yiran suddenly turned red, turned around, and ignored the old man.

"Look, that's what you think you're strong. The old man sighed lightly: "You haven't really been happy with each other, you can't let it go, how can you be indifferent." Children, love is the most poisonous in the world, we are born as human beings, and the original sin we are born with is not so easy to fight. ”

Ying Yiran was ashamed, and asked without thinking: "Sir, are you also poisoned?"

The old man smiled but said nothing. He patted Ying Yiran's face. "Anger and rejuvenation, in fact, is also a kind of weakness. ”

Ying was also awe-inspiring, and hurriedly bowed down. "I also lost my words, and asked Mr. to punish him. ”

......

The escape boats of the Xiaoyang Kingdom are sturdy and fast. Under the manipulation of Shi and others, thirteen days later, Shun Lì reached the other side of the chasm.

Abandoning the ship and landing on the shore, Wuji and the others packed their bags and embarked on the journey to Zifu Mountain again.

"Look, master. Lin Fei walked up to Wuji and pointed to the sky above his head. "Is that an eagle?"

Wuji had enough eyesight, looked up, and couldn't help but be surprised.

A pale black eagle is soaring with its wings, overlooking the earth, like an emperor patrolling his kingdom.

Wuji hurriedly issued a warning: "Everyone, pay attention, Yin Xuan's ghost is still here, and he is coming again." ”

The originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly froze, and an invisible fear seized everyone's hearts. The old man sitting in the back basket also raised his head and looked at it, and said lightly: "Even if Yin Xuan comes, it won't be so terrifying, if we can defeat him twice, we can defeat him a third time." ”

"Yes, master, if you meet him again this time, you can't let him go, you must beat him to death completely. Stone waved the iron axe in his hand and said in a humming voice, "When the time comes, we will go together to help, cut off his bird's head, and see how he is resurrected." ”

Mowgli couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yin Xuan is really an immortal, and the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he becomes, and the stronger he becomes. The first two times were accidents, and the next time, will Yin Xuan still give me a chance?
