Chapter 399: The peach blossoms have not bloomed, and the people have not returned

As the previous examiner from the Supervision and Examination Division said, Su Wen certainly could not be the first person to walk out of the Zhuxin Forest in this joint examination.

After all, he was the last to hand in the paper in the essay examination part, and he almost stopped writing with the third chorus of the gas clock.

Compared to Tian Yu, his martial arts test assessment was a full hour and a half late, even compared to Bai Yan, who handed in the papers normally, he was nearly half an hour late.

But this assessment set up in Zhuxinlin is not about who comes out first, but who comes out the fastest.

Undoubtedly, Su Wen is the fastest.

The examiner who was standing at the exit of the bamboo forest couldn't even believe that the third person to come out would be Su Wen.

The examiner who was about to report the exam process directly to the Sanctuary thought something was wrong and had to check it out in person.

Su Wen didn't slow down for half a minute along the way, and came on a rampage, directly knocking out of the Zhuxin Forest.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the light returned.

It was only at this time that the apricot yellow talent on Su Wen's body gradually disappeared, and he stepped on the surface of his foot fiercely, stepping on a shallow pit three inches deep on the soft snow, and suddenly stopped his figure.

Then he turned his head, looked at the examiner of the Supervision and Examination Division who was standing on the side, and said with a smile: "Am I considered to have passed this assessment?"

The examiner was stunned for a long time, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses, and nodded mechanically, but he couldn't even say a word.

Su Wen saluted his chin and continued to walk forward, and after a while, he saw two more figures not far away, and Su Wen didn't know those two people.

One of them exudes loneliness. As if isolated from the world, Su Wen didn't look at the person's appearance at first glance. Instead, it landed on the wooden sword in his arms.

So Su Wen knew who this person was.

Of course, it can only be Yanbei's personal disciple. Tian Yu.

Su Wen became the third candidate to walk out of Zhuxinlin, and it didn't attract too much attention from Tian Yu, after all, he didn't know when Su Wen handed in the paper.

Otherwise, he would never be so calm at this time.

Su Wen looked at Tian Yu for a while, and then naturally focused on the second person.

Speaking of which, the appearance of this person made Su Wen even more surprised.

Because before the joint entrance examination, Mu Xi had told him conclusively that there were only three people who could threaten him in this exam. Among them, Ouyang Ke and An Qiye Su Wen have already met, and they are not here.

If the young man holding the sword is Tian Yu, then who is this person?

Su Wen's curiosity didn't stop there, what interested him more was the gender of this person.

It was a woman, and a woman dressed as a man.

Woman dressed as a man?

As a modern person, Su Wen will never be deceived by such a little trick, he just doesn't understand. Why would the other party do this?

In the Sacred Word Continent, there is no too obvious idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, and the Ten Nations Joint Entrance Examination is not limited to men as a reference, otherwise how did Mu Xi enter the examination room?

So. Unless it's for some very specific reason, such as an assassin hiding his identity, or an actor who is limited by the role he plays when singing. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to make such a move as a man posing as a woman.

It is for this reason that it is for this reason. So Su Wen was very curious about this girl dressed as a woman.

In fact, it is not particularly accurate to call the other person a girl, because of the fact. She is now almost thirty years old.

The reason for making such a judgment is based on Su Wen's ability to easily capture the traces of time left on the other party's face, but the most important thing is that her eyes seem to have experienced the vicissitudes of life and read the prosperity of the world.

Such a pair of eyes is by no means something that an ordinary woman can have.

And now these eyes are looking at a peach tree.

At this time, the Sacred Word Continent had just passed the New Year, and the heavy snow was constantly falling, and the cold was still unstoppable, so the peach tree looked bare, and the new leaves had not yet grown, which looked quite desolate.

The woman just stared at the peach tree, as if she had settled down.

Su Wen hesitated in his heart, but still stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "Could it be that this is the question of the second round of the martial arts test?"

Hearing this, the woman turned her head silently and looked at Su Wen with some surprise.

Su Wen took the initiative to stretch out his palm and said, "Hello, my name is Su Wen." ”

Of course, the woman knew who he was, because when she entered the examination room, she stood not far behind Su Wen and watched the sensation caused by Su Wen.

But at this time, she didn't show too much interest, or too obvious friend or foe, she just stretched out her hand and shook Su Wen politely.

"You can call me Bai Yan. ”

Again, this is a very common name.

For Su Wen, if this name is a man, it will look very chic, but if it is a woman's name, it will inevitably look a little ...... Kitschy.

At least, such a name is not commensurate with the woman's eyes.

But Su Wen didn't show this kind of affection, but said with a smile: "Then Bai Yan ......"

When he said this, Su Wen obviously hesitated, and the woman understood Su Wen's hesitation, so she smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Baiyan." ”

Su Wen nodded: "Young Master Baiyan, now you can sue me, is the second round of questions in the martial arts exam this peach tree?"

The doubts on Su Wen's face looked quite sincere, as if he really wanted to know the answer to this question, but in Bai Yan's eyes, it was a different scene.

"I'm just missing a friend. ”

Su Wen smiled: "Then that friend must be very important to you." ”

When Bai Yan heard this, she suddenly fell into a long silence, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she looked at the peach tree as if she was looking at her lover.

After a long time, just when Su Wen was about to give up, Bai Yan suddenly spoke.

He once said that he would come back when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. It's a pity that I waited until the peach blossoms bloomed. Peach blossom thanks, bloom again. Thanks, he never came back, and some people say that he has died in battle, but I don't believe it, so I want to see it with my own eyes. ”

From Bai Yan's words, Su Wen didn't hear half a bit of sadness, only calm, and hope.

Su Wen didn't know who the "he" in her mouth was. The so-called frontier was in Juyong Pass, Yumen Pass, or Zhenning Pass, but he didn't ask anything, just smiled lightly.

"What if he's really killed in battle?"

Su Wen's words seemed very abrupt, or very impolite, but Bai Yan understood what he meant, so he didn't get angry about it.

She just laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I'll die there in his footsteps, when people bury me in the ground." His name will be engraved on my grave. ”

Su Wen couldn't help but sigh: "What more can you ask for?"

Bai Yan lowered her head, a hint of shyness seemed to flash on her cheeks, and she paused. She looked up at Su Wen again.

"Master Su knows, why am I telling you this?"

Su Wen shook his head.

"It may be presumptuous, but I believe it. One day, Su Gongzi will go with me to the places he has been. So I hope that if there is a day. Su Gongzi can engrave for me. ”

In this sentence, Bai Yan said a "one day" and a "that day", in fact, this refers to two time periods, referring to two completely different things.

Su Wen still didn't understand why the other party trusted him so much when he only saw him, and besides, where is the so-called frontier?

Speaking of which, it was obviously Su Wen who was talking to the other party, but why does Su Wen feel that it is actually the other party who took the initiative to come to the door?

In other words, when Bai Yan stood there, he already knew that Su Wen would come to talk.

She was also waiting for him to talk.

But Su Wen didn't ask anything, he just smiled helplessly: "It's a gesture, and besides, I don't dare to say anything else, I still write very well." ”

In the end, Bai Yan added a sentence for him, which seemed to mean something.

"Moreover, Master Su is a saint of our clan after all. ”

I don't know why, at this moment, Su Wen suddenly regretted it, and he faintly felt that his promise to this "White Yan Prince" today would become a big trouble......

In the midst of this conversation between the two, several candidates have already walked out of the Zhuxinlin.

These candidates all belonged to the previous ones who had submitted their papers relatively early in the literary exam, so although they came to the field in the top ten, in fact, the time they spent in the Zhuxin Forest was almost an hour.

From the pale faces of those people and their trembling legs, it could be seen that what they encountered in the Zhuxin Forest was not as easy as Su Wen's.

There was even a person who ran under a dead tree and vomited as soon as he came out, but fortunately, the deacon of the Supervision and Examination Division on the side sent a heart-clearing pill in time, otherwise that person would really have some sequelae.

Su Wen looked at this scene, shook his head again and again, but took the opportunity to ask the deacon of the Supervision Division what the next assessment rules were.

Compared to the cold and arrogant attitude of the deacon of the Supervision Department before entering the Zhuxin Forest, the person who was caught by Su Wen now obviously respected Su Wen a lot, and even had some awe and worship in his eyes.

So Su Wen knew that the time he had spent in Guò Xinlin might have shocked the entire Supervision and Inspection Division.

"Su, Su Shengcai, the content of the second round of the martial arts test, you can, wait until all the candidates come out, and you can announce it. ”

Su Wen nodded, and did not embarrass the other party too much, and after thanking him, he turned around and walked towards the exit of Zhu Xinlin.

The next moment, Su Wen's figure appeared beside the chief examiner of the Supervision and Examination Division, and the two stood side by side, staring at the verdant bamboo forest together.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm waiting for a friend. ”

"Then that friend must be very important to you. ”

Su Wen smiled and didn't say anything, but a faint softness flashed in his eyes.
