Chapter 41: Staggered Sights
On the day Xia Ming got the admission letter from Tianhua Lingcan Academy, Xia Zheng specially asked for leave to come back to celebrate him.
It's a celebration, but it's just a hearty dinner with groceries.
"Are you so busy, you can only ask for half a day off work."
Xia Ming said while chewing the braised pork ribs in his mouth.
Of course, Xia Zheng's craftsmanship is not bad, at least it is several floors higher than Ying Wenyan's guy who wants to be his brother.
Every time my brother comes back to cook for him, his taste buds, which have been poisoned by the school cafeteria and takeaway, can finally be baptized and taste the taste of real food.
But for some reason, the braised pork ribs in my mouth today don't seem to be as gluttonous as before.
I always feel ...... My brother's cooking skills in the past few years are not as good as Nanyan's two-month practice......
What do you think!
Xia Ming patted his head.
The trial is complete, people are living in the present, and the things in the dream should be allowed to pass.
"It's really busy, the evil organization I mentioned to you before was driven like a wild dog by another force in the wilderness, the Holy Light Society, and fled to our second city in a panic."
"It's okay if these lawless guys make some noise, but after they come, they will lurk silently and secretly make some small moves in the dark, which makes the bureau very anxious, and they have to find ways to pull out the tails of these cockroaches all day long."
Xia Zheng held his forehead and sighed helplessly, only at home, in front of his younger brother, could he take off his guard like this and show a trace of fatigue.
"I know, Deep Blue, sells psionic potions called 'Blue Blood', right? I asked Ying Wenyan, and he told me some information. ”
"Okay, let's stop talking."
Xia Zheng didn't seem to want to continue to delve into this topic, "I haven't congratulated you on your successful admission to Tianhua Spiritual Energy Academy, I know that your score in the cultural class is close to a full score, and your spiritual energy strength has reached the second order." ”
He lightly slammed his happy punch on Xia Ming's shoulder: "Good boy, I knew you wouldn't let me down." ”
Xia Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, silently eating the dishes in the bowl.
Why do you think I'm willing to let Wen Ling tutor me and raise my score in culture class so high?
Xia Zheng asked while serving Xia Ming vegetables, "What reward do you want?" ”
"The only reward I want is to quickly skyrocket my strength overnight and become a powerful psionic like you, but is this possible?"
Xia Ming rolled his eyes and stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth.
"There is no reward you want, you just pay attention to safety when you work, especially when you encounter a strong enemy, don't do it, run when you should run, sell when you should sell, your own life is the most important thing you know."
said so, but he also knew that if he didn't flinch in the face of any difficulties and dangers, and even if he was bleeding and wounded, he would rescue all the innocent people from the criminals, how could Xia Zheng have the same reputation as a hero today, and he was promoted to the head of the fourth section at a young age, and was repeatedly rewarded by the city government?
Sure enough, Xia Zheng said that he knew and understood, but looking at his expression, he knew that he obviously didn't take this matter to heart.
A few years ago, he may have been cautious about bleeding and being injured, but now he is a sixth-order powerful psionic powerhouse, and he can be regarded as one of the top powerhouses in the entire Second City, and there are very few incidents that can make him bleed and injured again.
Xia Ming knew that he couldn't persuade him, just like Xia Zheng was always nagging in his ear to go to bed early, get up early, eat less takeout, go out with his peers on weekends, and it was best to have a girlfriend or something, he always went in his left ear and out of his right ear.
In short, the mind is there.
He knew that his brother was caring about him, and his brother knew that he was caring about him, which was enough.
At night, Xia Zheng returned to his busy work.
Xia Ming didn't sleep very peacefully.
To be precise, in the past ten days since the end of the dream trial, his sleep quality has not been very satisfactory.
After getting used to Mingnan cigarette pillows and Mingnan cigarette pillows, the soft mattresses and quilts at home can no longer bring him a comfortable sleeping environment.
Fortunately, the power of habit is terrifying, and after more than ten or twenty days, he gradually got used to lying on the bed with an empty hand in his arms and sleeping alone.
Same night.
The top floor of Minghua Tower.
The bright moon hangs high, and the clear light is set at night.
In the independent office that belonged to Ming Nanyan, Ming Nanyan walked out of a secret door.
Twenty years have passed since I separated from Mr. Xia Ming.
In the past twenty years, she has rarely slept, and as a psionic being, she does not need to sleep.
Because once you lie on the empty bed and look at the empty room, especially when the cold moon is as quiet as this moment, and the moon is condensed, the memories of the past will reflect the loneliness and loneliness in your heart more and more painfully.
Xia Ming just felt a little lonely in the past twenty days or so because there was one less person around him when he went to bed at night.
And she has been alone for twenty years.
Stay alive...... Will there be hope?
But sometimes, Ming Nanyan felt that this was more like a curse.
Outside the window, the entire buildings of City Two were bowed down at her feet, as if bowing down to her, and the huge black wall that surrounded the entire city in the distance covered the outside world and vision, making her think of the cage inexplicably.
She was just a bird trapped in the world by Mr. Xia Ming's curse.
Ming Nanyan lowered his eyes and turned away from the window.
She suddenly didn't want to look at the moon.
No one could see her weakness, and when she sat down in her chair and picked up the pending papers that the secretary had placed on the table, the mask of majesty and indifference automatically put on her face.
She actually didn't want to deal with these things, and after sitting on the highest position of the Ming family and taking revenge on those people back then, this position and the power it had were already boring to her.
But she needs this position, she needs to have these powers.
Only then will she be able to mobilize enormous resources.
Only then can she try to accomplish the impossible.
A person whose body is completely annihilated, and even his soul is burned out...... Can it be resurrected?
She didn't know.
But she could only choose to believe.
After the documents at hand were processed one by one, Ming Nanyan saw the last invitation letter at the bottom.
Invited from Tianhua Lingcan College, she was invited to speak as a guest at the entrance ceremony of this year's freshmen.
Ming Nanyan has never wanted to pay attention to this kind of trivial matter, except for the first time when she showed her brilliance in the power struggle of the Ming family, she has not appeared in public for many years, and the legend of her dragon seeing the head but not the end is circulating everywhere in City No. 2.
But this time, somehow, she suddenly had a whim and wanted to agree to this invitation and go to Tianhua Spiritual Energy Academy to have a look.
The whim of the psyker is not so much an inexplicable thought that pops into his head out of nowhere, but rather some kind of intuition or hunch, which is often extremely effective.
Ming Nanyan picked up the invitation letter and quickly prepared a reply.
After so many years, it's time to go out for a walk, just take a break.
………………
Tianhua Psychic Academy, the day of admission for new students.
Xia Ming quickly completed the report with the admission letter and was assigned to Class B.
Carrying his luggage into the single dormitory assigned by the academy, looking at this spacious dormitory that was several times the size of his house, not only had a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, but also a recreation room, a cultivation room, a training ground and other fully functional dormitory rooms, he finally knew why so many psionics wanted to enter this academy.
Not to mention the recreation room for the time being, the cultivation room that specializes in improving the efficiency of meditation and improving the affinity of the spiritual world, and the training ground that can test and master the use of spiritual energy are enough to make many people's hearts warm.
Of course, if you want to use these things, you need credits.
The first month is free for new students, and they will need to pay for credits if they want to use these facilities later.
Credits can be earned by completing courses, participating in the Academy's activities, and completing various trial tasks issued by the Academy, including increasing the strength of your own psionic energy, and learning to use a new psychic technique.
Credits can not only unlock access to these equipment and facilities, but also upgrade them, and even be used to redeem them for many rare spiritual materials that cannot be seen on the market in the academy.
However, for Xia Ming, the most suitable way for him to become stronger is, of course, to complete the dream trial of the system.
During this time, he was not idle, and he still worked hard every day to meditate and cultivate, but he could feel that although his soul potential had greatly improved, the spiritual energy he absorbed from the spirit world every time had become more than before.
But his strength has not increased much in the past 20 days.
How can you open incense after hard work and hard work?
Although he thought so, Xia Ming didn't give up, after all, his strength can grow steadily, and the probability of dying in the face of danger is a little smaller.
Sometimes maybe it's just a little bit worse?
It was also on the day of enrollment that the system prompted that a new Dream Trial had been unlocked.
Xia Ming was not in a hurry to start a new trial immediately after completing the registration.
After all, tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, who knows that he will have to sleep for a few more days in this dream trial, what if he misses it?
After the entrance ceremony, there will be a dream trial, even if you really sleep for a few days, you can still find Wen Ling to tutor those courses you missed, that's right, let's do it.
Xia Ming made up his mind, and after making up some knowledge in the recreation room of the dormitory, he fell asleep.
Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.
In the splendid school auditorium, Xia Ming and the freshmen assigned to Class B stood in a square line.
Wen Ling didn't get into the same class as him, but Xu Yuanhang, a guy with a narrow family, was in the same class as him again.
Before the entrance ceremony began, the new students introduced themselves to each other in a noisy manner.
Xu Yuanhang looked at Xia Ming, who was surrounded by everyone again, in the corner of the crowd, and felt the unevenness of the world.
Why is Xia Zheng's younger brother's name so easy to use here!
Hey, that guy is just a little bit more handsome than me, you women are just like that!
I'm the son of a senior executive of Ming's Pharmaceutical, and I'm not bad-looking!
But only this time, he looked at Xia Ming, who was starry and moonless, and couldn't even say a trace of psychological comfort that ridiculed him in his heart.
Because not only in terms of background, but also in terms of strength, Xia Ming is now completely crushing him.
On the day of the graduation assessment, Xia Ming's test results repeatedly appeared in his mind like a magic spell on these days, making Xu Yuanhang unwilling to go crazy when he thought about it.
Not only did he not be able to fight hard for his father, but even his strength and talent as a psionic person were completely blown up by Xia Ming!
Why...... Why is this happening!
Even now, Xia Ming, a bastard, would rather perfunctorily respond to those women's questions than cast a glance at me, an old high school rival!
Xu Yuanhang decided to start spurring his father after he went back today, so that he must work hard to fight for himself and not lose to Xia Ming's brother Xia Zheng.
What a hero, but an eagle dog under the hands of the federal government.
Dad, you fight to be the president of Ming's Pharmaceutical and show them, when the time comes, my son and I will see if these people present dare not snub me so much, and see if Xia Ming dares to ignore my gaze.
Of course, not only spurring his father, but he will also work hard, Dad, aren't you a high-ranking official of Ming's Pharmaceutical, then there should be a lot of potions to improve the strength of spiritual energy, if you can give me a bottle or two......
Just as Xu Yuanhang was thinking wildly, Xia Ming was bored and helpless to perfunctory questions from the boys and girls who came around him, a piercing sound of scales silenced everyone present.
"Silence!"
The principal's loud voice rang in everyone's ears, and an invisible pressure made all the freshmen involuntarily close their mouths, line up in line, and look at the old man on the high platform.
The old man looks like he has a white beard, but he is in good spirits and full of energy, and he looks like a big guy at first glance.
After an impassioned simple speech, and seeing that the scene became quiet and solemn under his control, he picked up the microphone and said solemnly:
"Next, I would like to invite Ms. Ming Nanyan to give a speech at the entrance ceremony for new students!"
For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.
"What? Ming Nanyan? Did I hear me right? Is it the famous Queen of Purple Electricity? ”
"The academy really invited such a big guy to give a speech?"
"Holy! No way! The one who gave us a speech was Ming Nanyan, the master of the Ming Consortium, and the Queen of Purple Electricity in the entire No. 2 City of Weiling! Some of our freshmen have blown it after that! ”
The headmaster frowned, and was about to shout silence, using psionic energy to suppress the restlessness of the little ones.
That's when it happened.
Click!
There was a crunch.
It was the sound of high heels on the floor.
It was also the sound of Ming Nanyan stepping on the hearts of all the students.
An invisible tremor like an electric current spread from the heart to the whole body, and the auditorium, which had been noisy and uproar just now, suddenly became silent and audible when it landed.
No one dared to disturb the appearance of the queen.
Click!
Another crunch.
Everyone's hearts shook violently, the hairs on their bodies stood up, fine sweat broke out on their backs, and there seemed to be an invisible static current in the air passing through everyone's scalps, making people feel like a stab in the back and numb.
It's scary...... It's so powerful.
Click!
Ming Nanyan walked onto the high platform.
The majestic and indifferent face faintly glanced at all the figures present.
The audience was silent.
Everywhere the eye goes, no one dares to bow their heads in awe.
It's like a lower creature encountering a predator that preys on it, like an ignorant ant meeting the gaze of a god.
At this moment, all the freshmen and all the psionics present clearly felt the power and terrifyingness of Ming Nanyan!
as gods, do not blaspheme.
Don't dare to blaspheme!
Xia Ming looked at the majestic and indifferent Ming Nanyan on the high platform.
Stunning face, delicate skin that bullies the frost and snow, a slender waist, straight and slender legs, and incomparably majestic mountain peaks......
Twenty years later, she still looks like a girl in a dream trial.
It's just that the majestic and dignified temperament on her body, the purple pupils and long hair clearly tell him that she is not the girl in the dream.
This fact also told him very clearly, although he was robbed of his virginity by Ming Nanyan in his dream.
But in reality, he still maintains the kindness and purity of Bing Qingyujie.
It's okay, it's okay.
Xia Ming patted his chest happily and lowered his head.
Because of this, he missed the sight that Ming Nanyan just swept over.
Is that......!
Ming Nanyan sighed in her heart, looking at the familiar figure, her eyes widened in disbelief, and the irrepressible surprise or fright made her feel dizzy in her brain, only to feel that her whole body was weak, and she almost lost her strength to stand unsteadily, and collapsed to the ground.
Her strong self-control did not show any flaws, and the students in the audience who bowed their heads did not notice the change in her expression in an instant.
Just for a moment, her gaze stayed on Xia Ming for less than a moment before moving away.
But at this moment, her cold heart, which had been dead for many years, began to beat violently as if there was a fire burning.
Her five fingers curled up slightly, and on the surface she began the normal ritual speech in a cold and majestic tone, but the corner of her eyes kept staring at the familiar figure in the audience that appeared in her dreams over and over again.
The coldness, arrogance, and strong self-confidence that he had maintained over the years were completely shattered in front of this figure.
She couldn't believe it, she couldn't bear to doubt it.
She was like a weak girl with low self-esteem and timidity many years ago, and she couldn't help but ask tremblingly in her heart:
"Shaminiyeh, that ...... Is it really Mr. Xia Ming? ”
