Eight o'clock in the morning has not passed, Aoba Apocalypse has finished this morning's chores, at this time he has come to the Birch Hill Academy 319 Class A classroom outside, standing next to the classroom door, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, waiting for the end of class to ring a few minutes later, sure enough, when the class bell rang, the classroom began to be noisy, when the teacher walked out of the classroom and found the existence of Aoba Apocalypse, there was a disgust on his face for a moment, for this since the entrance to the school is not very existent, Recently, the notorious teenager avoided it as if an adult had seen a bear child, and Aoba didn't pay attention to these and walked directly into the classroom to take off his shoes, he didn't have a strong sense of presence and didn't attract too much attention, Aoba Apocalypse came to his desk very smoothly, put away the book bag, and then sat on the chair, but before He Fangyuanji, who was sitting at the back table, spoke, a figure wearing a skirt appeared next to Aoba Apocalypse, Aoba Apocalypse and He Fangyuan Temple looked up at the owner of the skirt at the same time, and Natural Yuka was standing there with an innocent smile on his face.

Yuka Nature: "Morning, Aoba-san. ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "Oh, is there something wrong with nature-san?" ”

He Fangyuansi: "Hey, hey, I said apocalypse, the cute little girl came to talk to you, how can you answer in such a tone?" What do you mean by something?! Can't I catch up with you if I'm fine? ”

He deliberately made a funny toothy grin and said with his eyebrows twitching.

Natural Youjia: "What a classmate! Don't play, I'm looking for Aoba-san to ask him. ”

He Fangyuanji: "No problem! Don't look at Apocalypse who usually looks cool, in fact, he is a warm man, no matter what questions you ask, he will tell you gently. ”

Looking at Natural Youjia with his eyes, he said semi-teasingly.

Natural Youjia: "You hate it, classmate He Fang, don't tease me anymore." ”

Seeing that Natural Youjia, who was amused by himself, closed his mouth with great satisfaction and did not interject.

Aoba Apocalypse: "Okay, you have any questions." ”

Yuka Nature: "That...... Didn't Iori come with you? ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "Huh? Why did Reed Leaf come to the academy with me?! ”

Aoba Apocalypse, who was a little nervous when asked by Natural Yuka's sudden question, first thought of expressing his attitude! I don't have an attitude of friendship with Iori Reedha in private!

Yuka Nature: "But you've been in the classroom together twice recently...... So I thought ......"

Aoba Apocalypse: "You, you, why do you think?" Don't think about it! That's just a coincidence, I didn't mean to come with her, don't talk nonsense! ”

Natural Yuka: "Oh...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"

The scene immediately became awkward......

He Fangyuan Temple: "Apocalypse, what does Natural's meaning mean, have you seen Wei Ye this morning, do you know why she hasn't come to the academy at this time, after all, you and Wei Ye are in the same door now, so the possibility of knowing her whereabouts is greater than others, you know?" ”

Seeing that Aoba Apocalypse embarrassed the scene, he hurriedly came to the round.

Aoba Apocalypse: "Oh...... You know, she should still be in the middle of the view, maybe she won't come here until the afternoon, because the watcher has some arrangements. ”

Natural Yuka: "That's it, okay...... Then I know, thank you, Aoba-san. ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "Oh. ”

Natural Yujia didn't know what he said wrong to make Aoba Apocalypse unhappy, so he could only turn around and leave stupidly.

He Fangyuan Temple: "I said...... Apocalypse, you are more mature, people don't ask you any excessive questions, why do you have that attitude! ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "I, I didn't mean to. ”

He Fangyuan Temple: "But then again, fortunately, it was natural to come to ask this time, if it was Jiujiang, your attitude would arouse her suspicion!" ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "Huh? Will it be so? ”

He Fangyuan Temple: "Of course it will, your reaction is too exaggerated, there are no three hundred taels of silver in the whole place." ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "......, this, this is a big head." ”

Birch Mountain Chaoxi view.

At this time, Zi Nanxiang, Ning Yu Jinxuan, and Wei Ye Yiori were cultivating together.

At this time, in the wide stone clearing in front of the main hall, the three people stood in a triangular position, four or five zhang away from each other, and there was no verbal communication between the three people, but relied on the aura to transmit simple information.

This is one of the techniques that Zhong Gu is best at, and the three people who have broken through the initial level of the soul path have a certain ability to control the aura, so Zhong Gu taught them this exercise 'Meditation Method', which has almost been forgotten by the people in the soul path, and the purpose is naturally to strengthen the cooperation between them through this exercise, so as to meet the Dao Conference.

At this time, Zhong Guwei stood not far away and watched the three of them cultivating, Zhong Guwei, who was also a person in the soul path, and was a senior who cultivated the Sinking Law to the fourth level or more, so he could clearly feel the intentions of the three people, attacking, asking for help, retreating, danger has arrived, etc., such a simple message transmission has become possible.

At the same time, as the faint cyan light emanating from the three people of Zi Nanxiang, Reed Ye Iori, and Ning Yu Jinxuan, in Zhong Guwei's opinion, it is also a proof of hard work so far, as their master, Zhong Guwei nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, a kind smile naturally appeared on his face, and at the same time, Zhong Guwei also began to evaluate several of his apprentices in his heart.

'Xiang'er...... Although her spirituality is no different from that of ordinary soul path disciples, she has an extraordinary fighting spirit, and she has the best qualifications to practice martial arts, and few of her best peers can surpass her in this regard, so it can be seen that I raised her since I was a child and she is also the spirit of Hong Shizu in the sky. ’

Thinking of his love for his disciple Zi Nanxiang, Zhong Gu couldn't help but feel proud.

Portrait of Zi Nanxiang: "I am the senior sister, and I am the strongest person in this Huashan Chaoxi view!" Aoba Apocalypse is my junior brother, you can't bully him! ”

'Zhu Bai, this child has been under my door for less than two years, but ...... She is the only child in my door who can be compared with Xiang'er, her spirituality and martial arts qualifications are excellent, and her mental nature is even better than Xiang'er, not as childish as Xiang'er, she can be called a genius with good attributes and no shortcomings! ’

Zhu Bailin's evaluation can also be recognized by the audience disciples of Huashan Chaoxi.

Zhu Bailin's portrait: "I heard that there are still seats left in the Three Great Mansions, so why don't you invite me to sit down." ”

'Reed Leaves...... When I saw this child many years ago, I realized that her spirituality was far higher than that of ordinary people, even among the soul path disciples of the same generation, I was afraid that it would be difficult to find a second one that could be compared with her, at that time I accepted her as an apprentice, and gave her a book on the rough and shallow mind of the soul path, originally I didn't expect her to be able to read, I just hoped to be able to help her to a certain extent, after all, it is common for her to have excellent spirituality when she is young, but it is common for her to become mediocre when she grows up...... But Wei Ye is definitely an exception, it's just that this kid's body is a little thin and lacks the qualifications to cultivate the martial body......

As soon as I thought of Iori's obvious bias in the reed leaves, I was worried that if I really had to be an enemy of the demon in the future, would it hurt her...... Zhong Guwei has always been worried about this matter in his heart, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or bad luck for him to collect Reed Leaf Iori into the soul path.

Portrait of Iori Reed: "Hehe, I'm an ordinary girl who reads like a book and looks average, but I saw the master when I was a child, and I was lucky to be accepted as an inner disciple, from the book given by the master, I read interesting things, it turns out that the soul path is like this......"

'Ning Yu's talent is very average, but he is very calm in terms of personality, which is similar to Zhu Bai, and he is not very competitive, so let her play with Xiang'er in a team, which can stabilize the team, and although this child has no bright spots in terms of talent, he has a good sense and will have a more correct judgment at critical moments, it would be good if Xiang'er's radical personality could be eased......

Because Zhong Guwei has already arranged Zi Nanxiang (captain), Reed Ye Yiori and Ning Yu Jinxuan to play as a team, in fact, Zhu Bailin is better than Ning Yu Jinxuan in all aspects of practice, but the reason why Zhu Bailin was not chosen, first, is because Zhu Bailin is somewhat similar to Zi Nanxiang's competitiveness, if she and Zi Nanxiang are selected in a team, it may evolve into two people competing for output and weakening the situation of cooperating, and secondly, because Zhu Bailin has the ability to lead the team independently, so it is more appropriate to arrange her to be the captain of the second team.

Ning Yu Jinxuan's portrait: "Since I am fortunate to be a disciple of the Soul Dao, I must do my best to learn the skills, return to my hometown in the future, and protect my neighbors from being disturbed by evil, mother!" Please be sure to wait for me to get back. ”

'Qin You...... As one of the members of the second team, I believe that she will show the results of her cultivation in this competition...... This child is tenacious, she works even harder than Xiang'er in practice, and her talent and qualifications are above Ning Yu Jinxuan, with her support Zhu Bailin, I believe that both of them can perform well in this competition, thinking of this, I am really looking forward to it...... These two children ......

Qinyou Mengman, as a representative of talent and hard work, can be said to be a small Zhu Bolin, whether it is martial arts or Taoism, she has cultivated well, and she has always been recognized as the top three in the strength of Huashan Chaoxi, so everyone is looking forward to her performance in this questioning competition, and she herself also hopes to prove the value of her efforts in this competition.

Portrait of Qin You Mengman: "What? You don't remember me? The male protagonist of this work, Aoba Apocalypse, first came to my birch mountain Chaoxi view.,But I was almost beaten out as a bad guy! Now that the contest is about to start, please see how I perform! ”

Among the disciples of Huashan Chaoxi Temple, there are probably only the above five people who can be counted on, and the other disciples are either not talented or have obvious shortcomings.

For example, He Yuling, although her qualifications are good, but her heart is not good, as long as a little thing can make her endlessly entangled, that kind of serious mental internal friction makes her waste a lot of time in self-contradictions.

At this moment, in the Huashan Chaoxi Temple, some of the disciples who had completed the morning class went back to sleep, some got together in twos and threes to chat, and of course, some secretly found a secluded place to continue to practice, and He Yuling was sitting on the stone steps behind a side hall at this time, worrying about his troubles.

He Yuling: "The competition is about to start, will the senior sister still be thinking about that kid in Aoba, I guess the senior sister must be thinking about him, that kid is nothing, it's nothing more than a little better, but no matter what the boy looks like, in short, his heart is very dirty, we girls must not believe them, absolutely not!" But...... What if you want to get married in the future? It would be nice if I could meet a suitable one among the soul path disciples...... A soul path disciple must be better than the boy under the mountain, but isn't Aoba also a soul path disciple? No, no, no! He is not a disciple of the Soul Dao, and the master did not accept him as an apprentice, they are all junior disciples recognized by the senior sister herself, I don't recognize it! But...... Aren't there any bad boys among the soul path disciples? Oh my God, my head hurts......"

As she muttered to herself, her nerves became more and more tense, and she even began to pound her knees with both fists of her hands, and at this time it seemed that a rain cloud appeared above her head, and she was in this haze, overwhelmed by the dreary air before the rain.

Another example is the water source Linglong, this child is also a talent, but too playful, usually when everyone practices, she plays smart, here pretending to practice, in fact, her mind has already flown to the wilderness to catch butterflies, and even if there is a little progress after being instructed by others, she will immediately be satisfied with the status quo and no longer continue to work hard......

At this time, a natural flower garden in the back of Huashan Mountain is blooming with delicate flowers in spring and summer, pink, red, green, and purple, and some flowers will hide sweet fruits that can be eaten.

At this time, the laughter of several girls came from this natural flower garden.

Huashan Chaoxi Guan Female Disciple A: "This way, this way!" Come on, I've found something good. ”

Female disciple B of Huashan Chaoxiguan: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Soon the figures of the two girls came together.

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple A: "Look, it's the fruit of the pearl sunflower, I didn't expect it to bear fruit so early this year, I just tasted one and it was quite sweet." ”

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple B: "Eh, why are you like this, you don't tell me if you eat secretly." ”

Huashan Chaoxiguan Female Disciple A: "Okay, okay, okay, didn't I call you over." ”

As he spoke, he handed the other party a pearl sunflower fruit, and the other party took it without thinking about it and put it directly into his mouth, but after a few seconds, his expression became funny, and he immediately spit out the pearl sunflower fruit that he had just put in his mouth.

Female disciple B of Huashan Chaoxiguan: "Eh, why is it sour!" ”

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple A: "Hehe, you were fooled, I lied to you." ”

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple B: "Eh, you are so bad, I will beat you." ”

In this way, two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls began to chase and fight in the natural flower garden, and the girl who was teased was the first time we saw it, and the girl who teased people was the source of Linglong.

Another example is Shi Baiwan, I think this guy's name can be written as Shi Baiwan, because she is a foodie at all, she has to have talent and appetite, perseverance and appetite, she came here to mix rice, because her family has understood that she can't read at all, so she can only spend money to send her to Huashan Chaoxi Temple to practice, not asking for anything else just because she is a perennial vegetarian here, at least let her lose weight, otherwise I am afraid that she will not be able to marry after being so fat.

At this time, in the kitchen of Huashan Chaoxiguan, it is clear that none of us can see in the picture, but we can hear the sound of someone eating, the food is called a cheerful, listening to me I am hungry, when the picture gradually crosses the stove, table, water tank we see a round figure is sitting on a small bench, the fat hand is holding a drawer of steamed buns in a big meal, that is not a xiaolongbao but a fist-sized vegetable bun, and the person who eats the steamed bun is Shi Baiwan.

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple C: "Eat hundred!" What are you doing? ”

Shi Baiwan: "Huh? I, I, I didn't. ”

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple C: "You don't have anything?" ”

Shi Baiwan: "I, I didn't steal food." ”

But the bun in her hand and the cabbage filling in her mouth betrayed her.

Female disciple of Huashan Chaoxi Guan C: "......"

Shi Baiwan: "Don't look at me like this, I can't help it, I'm hungry, I practice so hard every day, it's normal to be hungry." ”

Huashan Chaoxiguan female disciple C: "But we just had breakfast not long ago, right?" ”

Shi Baiwan: "But I'm still hungry, we eat vegetarian here all day long, and I don't see any meat for a day, when I'm at home, I have to eat fat geese every day, and I can only eat cabbage and potatoes every day here, I can't hold it anymore." ”

Female disciple C, Huashan Chaoxiguan: "Hey......"

This concludes the dialogue.

What happens every day in Huashan Chaoxi Guan, Zhong Guwei almost has a way to know, but sometimes he deliberately pretends not to know, in order to give the apprentices a decent look, after all, they are all half adults, and they still have to keep their face.

Now that the Dao Contest is about to be held, Zhong Gu is very optimistic about the team led by Zi Nanxiang, and it is estimated that he may be able to enter the top eight.

Zi Nanxiang, Wei Ye Iori and Ning Yu Jinxuan have been practicing together for more than half a month, although it was not smooth at the beginning, but the three of them are smart, effective communication and diligent practice quickly broke through the obstacles, during which the three of them have an accurate understanding of the information conveyed by each other's aura, and now they continue to practice together just to consolidate the cooperation, but now, there is a sudden situation that surprises everyone.

The cyan aura radiance emanating from the three of them just now was still so similar, but at this moment, the cyan aura on Zi Nanxiang's body suddenly became flickering and very unstable, which had never appeared in ordinary cultivation......

Zi Nanxiang should have also noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly stabilized her mind to control the operation of the aura, but found that her heart was like a demon, no matter how she suppressed her desires, but that desire still quickly turned into a giant beast of desire, and began to wanton in her heart, and the feelings that she couldn't understand for a moment began to control her behavior.

On the forest path after the sunset, the boy and the girl walked and chatted.

Zi Nanxiang: "Aoba, is there really no contradiction between you and Wei Ye?" ”

Asked as he walked.

Aoba Apocalypse: "......, did you say it!" ”

replied impatiently.

Zi Nanxiang: "Reed Ye is a good person, why don't you interact with her in the same class?" ”

Turning his head to look at Aoba Apocalypse.

Aoba Apocalypse: "Good or bad, it has nothing to do with me!" Why should I go to her relationship? ”

Zi Nanxiang: "It's really strange, I see that you and the senior sisters in the view get along very well, why are they reed leaves......

Aoba Apocalypse: "Hey, you don't have to care so much about such a boring thing, right?" ”

Zi Nanxiang: "Huh? What the hell is going on? I advise you to be honest, or I'll ask her myself. ”

As he spoke, he leaned his face closer and carefully observed the changes in Aoba Apocalypse's expression, and he always felt that Aoba Apocalypse's appearance was a little strange.

Aoba Apocalypse: "Don't meddle with things, you're not tired enough to practice, and you still care about these boring things, cut!" ”

'Strange...... It's really weird...... Senior Sister Reed Leaf looks well-behaved and cute, and her personality is also very docile, so it shouldn't be possible to have any conflict with Aoba, so why is it......

Zi Nanxiang tilted his head slightly, and poked his jaw with the index finger of one hand to think.

After that, the two bumped into a scene of young lovers kissing in the woods.

Aoba Apocalypse: "Iori? ”

Although it was just two simple words, it was like a fist-sized stone suddenly falling into the calm lake, and the sound immediately spread on the surface of the lake, Zi Nanxiang knew very well what it meant to call each other by name...... Someone close to you, someone you love, or a very close friend...... Otherwise, it is very rude and not allowed to address people by their first names.

'Why does Aoba directly call Senior Sister Reed Leaf by her first name? Didn't Aoba say that they didn't have a relationship in private? Could it be that they are actually very good friends? But why didn't Aoba tell me? Is Aoba lying...... Lying to me? Why? Why was I deceived? There's no reason for that......

The desire beast in Zi Nanxiang's heart began to attack the weakest place in her heart.

This morning, when Aoba was doing chores in Guanzhong, he happened to be in a group with Ning Yu Jinxuan, and I don't know why the two of them always got in a group. When Zi Nanxiang was practicing this morning, he suddenly thought of Aoba Tianqi, and was worried that he would sneak away like last night and not come to do chores, so he wouldn't be able to see him in the view, so he secretly came to the back kitchen to check the situation, and just stepped into the kitchen, he heard the laughter of Aoba Tianqi and Ning Yu Jinxuan in the backyard, and the two of them laughed so happily, but Zi Nanxiang suddenly had a sour feeling in his heart.

When Zi Nanxiang strode to the backyard, he saw such a scene.

Aoba carried water uphill and was about to pour the water from the barrel into the water tank when Ning Yu Jinxuan walked over.

Ning Yu Jinxuan: "Qingye, don't pour it into that jar, I haven't brushed that jar yet." ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "Which one is that?" ”

Ning Yu Jinxuan: "This is here." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a water tank made of ordinary clay fired next to him.

Aoba Apocalypse: "Senior Sister Ning Yu, you are really a diligent person, every time you do chores, you will carefully clean every water tank." ”

Ning Yu Jinxuan: "Of course, the people in the view rely on these water tanks to eat water, so the scale in the water tank must be cleaned frequently, otherwise if you eat bad stomach, what's the matter, but!" When it comes to being diligent, you are really diligent, and every time you do chores, you are responsible for carrying water, and the sisters in the view are very grateful to you. ”

Aoba Apocalypse: "Hehe, it's nothing, I'm a manly man, and I should have done all this hard work." ”

Ning Yu Jinxuan: "Very good, very good, Aoba is a good boy with a great sense of responsibility." ”

As he spoke, he patted Aoba Apocalypse on the shoulder.
