"Hughes, I've watched your battle against Wen Yuan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmm. ”

"After watching the video of that fight, I came here to look for you as soon as I could. I've heard that you come here a lot. ”

"Yes. ”

"I'm curious...... How do you cultivate?"

In the café, Mr. Lan looked at Hughes and asked with a smile, "To be honest, I've rarely been shocked, but this time it's really a little beyond my imagination." ”

Teacher Lan was wearing an ordinary lady's shirt and casual pants today, and her long hair was not tied up, but casually draped, looking very peaceful and casual.

Teacher Lan, who took off his military uniform, no longer had that kind of scrutiny and sharp aura in his eyes, but always contained a smile.

She looked at Hughes up close with such eyes now.

Caesar didn't know Teacher Lan's age, and he never asked, but it is certain that Teacher Lan is the type that any adolescent teenager will blush and heartbeat when he sees it, young and mature, and there is a kind of awe-inspiring majesty of a soldier in his intellect, anyone who is looked at by her up close, I'm afraid they will blush.

But the expression on Hughes's face was natural, and he didn't answer Lan Lao's words, but asked rhetorically, "That's why you came to me because of curiosity?"

"That's an important reason. Teacher Lan shrugged.

"What about the other reasons?" Hughes smiled.

Teacher Lan thought for a moment, slowly restrained his smile, and then looked at Hughes with a very serious expression and asked, "Are you interested in being my student?"

......

......

Are you interested in being my student?

Caesar was standing outside the café at this time, through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, he couldn't hear the conversation between the two inside, but he still clearly read Mr. Lan's words from the shape of his mouth.

Well, as I guessed, Mr. Lan found Hughes because he wanted to accept students......

Caesar couldn't tell what kind of mood he was feeling at the moment.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's normal, it doesn't make sense that Teacher Lan can't accept other students if he has his own students, isn't it?

Caesar thought to himself.

He came here with a lot of grievances before, wanting to find Hughes to have a fight to calm his youthful spirit. But at this moment, he stood a little dumbfounded, and he no longer had the intention of seeking war before.

"Whew-"

Caesar took a deep breath, almost filling his lungs, and slowly exhaled it.

After doing this, he turned around and left the place without looking back.

There was no need to stay any longer, and Caesar could imagine the follow-up conversation without listening. Teacher Lan said that she came to Aoki City to recuperate from her injuries, and secondly, to open the selection of people for next year's Dragon Road. Now it seems that she should have taken a fancy to Hughes's strength, and the next step is nothing more than a process of persuasion.

Xiaolong looked at the master who came and went a little strangely, and always felt that the master's mood was very weird, and he had never appeared before.

It babbled and pulled Caesar's hair, a habitual action of the little one, and every time he wanted to call Caesar, he did not pull Caesar by the hair.

But today, the little guy pulled several times in a row, and Caesar didn't react at all. Xiaolong tilted his head and looked at his master's seemingly calm side face, and his heart was even more confused.

How could it have thought that what really made Caesar feel depressed was Teacher Lan's words.

What Teacher Lan said to Caesar was, "Would you like to be my student?"

This time, she said to Hughes, "Are you interested in being my student?"

......

......

In the café.

Teacher Lan still had a serious face, quietly looking at Hughes, waiting for the other party's answer.

Hughes smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'd love to." ”

It stands to reason that the person who sent the invitation was Teacher Lan, and she should be very happy to hear the agreed answer. But Teacher Lan was stunned when he heard it.

The smile on Hughes's lips widened, and he said, "What, you didn't expect me to say yes?"

Teacher Lan was silent for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect it. ”

Hughes restrained his smile and said calmly, "You don't really want to accept me as a student. It's in ...... Tempt me?"

If Caesar was still there, he would have been very surprised by the conversation between Mr. Lan and Hughes, because it was completely different from what he had expected!

Teacher Lan no longer looked serious, but looked at Hughes with interest and asked, "How do you know that I am deliberately testing you?"

Hughes said: "I know that the military department has been investigating the Roy family recently, and you are testing me, probably to test the attitude of the Roy family through me?"

"'Roy family'?" Mr. Lan frowned slightly, "Shouldn't you say 'my family'?" after all, you are a member of the Roy family. ”

Hughes said lightly: "The Roy family and I are two different things. If you're really tempting me to investigate the Roy family, then please don't go any further, there's no point. After a pause, Hughes showed a hint of mockery on his face, and continued, "The military department deliberately arranged for me to fight with Wen Yuan, and arranged for Shabie to be the referee, just to see what kind of attitude the Roy family has, right?"

Speaking of this, Teacher Lan no longer concealed it, and said with a smile: "You should know that recently, the military department, the Twelve Round Table, and the Earth Street have been wrestling because of the opening of the Dragon Road next year. And your Roy family, as a family that has always been close to the military department, has not even expressed its appearance, so it is no wonder that our military department thinks too much. ”

Speaking of this, Teacher Lan's eyes became sharper, but his tone was still flat and containing a smile: "You said that you and the Roy family are two different things. So I'm just going to ask you -- what's your attitude?"

Hughes smiled: "I'm just a student, do you really want to ask my attitude?"

"Yes. Teacher Lan nodded seriously.

Hughes thought for a long time, and finally said calmly, "I'll be on your side." Honestly, I would like to be your student, that's true. ”

Now, it was Mr. Lan's turn to be stunned: "Oh, why?"

"Because you took Caesar as a student, but you didn't really invite me. Hughes's tone suddenly turned cold, "And I hate that guy Caesar." ”

......

......

After coming out of the café, Caesar did not go home immediately, but began to wander around the street a little bored and decadent, stopping and stopping, not knowing what he was shopping. Until a certain moment, Caesar suddenly stopped, looked at a figure that appeared in front of him in amazement, and shouted, "Teacher Lan?"

Who is this woman in front of you, isn't Teacher Lan?

"Why, are you so surprised to see me?" said Teacher Lan with a smile.

"You weren't talking to ...... just now," Caesar said halfway through when he suddenly realized something and quickly shut up.

Teacher Lan knocked his forehead with a smile and said, "Okay, don't pretend, I know all about you running outside the café before you ran violently." Do you think you can hide your level from the Imperial Officer?"

Caesar scratched his face a little embarrassed, and said without words: "Teacher Lan and Hughes finished talking?"

"Well, that's the end of the conversation, that little ghost is very, very ...... It's so cute. Teacher Lan pursed his lips and said a little depressed.

Caesar thought to himself, "Didn't you want to take him as a student?

Teacher Lan didn't say much, but asked a little strangely, "Did you have something to do with me before?" or did you want to go to Hughes? I saw you standing outside for a while before leaving. ”

Caesar didn't know how to answer, so he kept silent.

Fortunately, Teacher Lan didn't ask, but pulled Caesar and said, "It's okay to be idle, let's go for a walk together." ”

"Good. ”

Walking on the road, Teacher Lan asked seemingly casually, "Caesar, are you familiar with Hughes?"

"I'm not familiar with it, I've only spoken a few times, what's wrong?"

"Well, he doesn't seem to like you very much. ”

"Oh yes...... When I was in the experimental department, he looked for me a few times, but I avoided running into him alone. ”

"That's right. Have you ever had any grudges with him before?"

“...... Not really. ”

"Okay. ”

Teacher Lan shook his head, and had to put Hughes's matter down for the time being.

The conversation between her and Hughes didn't last too long, and after Hughes made a statement, Teacher Lan was silent for a while, and the conversation between the two ended. Hughes continued to drink coffee, while Mr. Lan came out and found Caesar.

Caesar didn't quite understand why Teacher Lan was asking him these things, and turned his head to look at Teacher Lan's side face, from which Caesar caught a trace of exhaustion that Teacher Lan had well hidden.

Caesar thought for a moment and asked softly, "What has the teacher been busy with lately?"

Teacher Lan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "That's not it. You should also know about the recent incident between the military department and the Twelve Round Tables. Personally, though, I'd rather want to find out the true identity of the Grey Armor. ”

Caesar's eyelids jumped, and he quickly changed the topic: "Next year's Dragon Road will open, have you chosen a good person, teacher?"

"Hmm. Teacher Lan nodded, "In addition to you, there is a very good candidate." ”

Caesar sighed, thinking that it was Hughes, right.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Lan said: "Long Qiqi, have you heard of this name? In the first round of the unified examination, she challenged nine battle mages by herself. ”

"Well, I've heard of it, I heard that it's the granddaughter of General Long, one of the three major generals. Caesar nodded.

If anyone else heard the conversation between the two, they would definitely feel very strange, because Teacher Lan, as a teacher, didn't ask a word about Caesar's cultivation. And Caesar didn't talk about his cultivation progress as a matter of course. The two are even a bit like sisters and brothers shopping together, very close, very natural, and very familiar.

Caesar suddenly felt that all his previous sour and strange moods had magically disappeared, and his mood became bright, like a transparent room full of sunlight in the morning.

Even the curiosity and intent to explore the content of the conversation between Mr. Lan and Hughes in my heart disappeared completely for some reason.

Caesar's heart quickened inexplicably, and then he decided to ask a question that he had recently wanted to confirm very much: "That...... Mr. Lan, I have a question. ”

"Well, you say. Teacher Lan was originally thinking about something in a bit of a daze, and said with a smile, "What's the problem, so solemn?"

Then Caesar asked very directly, "My next opponent is you, right?"
