【Outside the Academy】

Five men and women in different costumes waited on the side of the street opposite the gate, waiting for each other.

"Why hasn't it come out yet?"

"Usually he submits the papers early."

"Is there any trouble?"

There was a light rain in the sky without warning, and the five of them continued to wait with oil-paper umbrellas, the humid air making the already restless mood even more anxious.

The five of them stared at each candidate who came out of the gate, scanned the batch after batch of people with anticipation, and looked away again and again, looking forward to the next group of people again.

"It's not really going to be any trouble."

"Are you going to inform the master?"

"If something really happened, Master would have come long ago."

Until the last few candidates walked out of the school gate, they didn't see Luo, and the doorman was about to close the door.

"Wait!" The five of them hurriedly stepped forward to stop the doorman.

The doorman stopped his movements, raised his white eyebrows and looked at the five people, all five of whom were tall, short, fat and thin, wearing black, white, gray, pink, and yellow clothes.

"You're guardians?"

"That's right, we are Luo's guardians, but our little Luo hasn't come out yet." Said a young woman wearing a peach-pink cheongsam with a golden peony embroidery pattern and a white plush shawl.

The doorman nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, it turned out to be Luo's guardian, but I really didn't see him just now." ”

The five looked at each other, and the word "panic" passed to each other in each other's eyes.

The doorman looked back at the road leading to the school building and thoughtfully touched the stubble on his chin.

"The trial is over, even if he doesn't come out to proctor, he will be kicked out."

【Teaching Building】

Luo stood under the eaves in a daze, looking up at the sun in the center of the rainbow with a melancholy face, and the raindrops rustled down with colorful light.

Lowe reached out to catch the raindrops and muttered to himself.

"Rainbow Rain, Reborn ...... after the Catastrophe"

Luo slowly clenched the raindrops in his hand and closed his eyes in meditation.

The five people outside the gate were in a hurry, and they were ready to join forces to break in and catch people.

"Look, he's out." A tall man in a black trench coat and a simple beige scarf shouted.

Everyone looked at each other, only to see Luo in white clothes shuttling through the rain, the white hair on the top of his head was shining brightly in the sun, the rain-soaked fabric was sticking to his body and became translucent, the long hem of his clothes was swaying in the wind, and his steps were upright and capable, gradually overlapping with the young version of Luo's figure in their memory.

Before they could come to their senses, Lo had already walked up to them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Luo bowed slightly and apologized.

The five of them glanced at each other, and with one look, they surrounded Luo.

"It's good to come out."

"Good work."

"It's fine." Luo smiled to hide his preoccupation.

"Let's go, go back to have a big meal, everyone will be waiting for you." The black-clothed guardian patted Lo's shoulder.

Luo nodded and followed the five home.

【Home】

There were six tables of banquets in the spacious and empty courtyard, one for the elderly, five for the young, and a few young men in white aprons walked between the six tables with plates.

The five tables where the young people sat were very lively, and the sound of laughter and melon seeds was constant. On the contrary, the old table is very quiet, some people use chopsticks to eat peanuts one by one, some people sit in a daze, and some people look at the young people at the table from time to time to see the excitement from afar.

The old man sitting on the throne watched all this silently, as if he was a little upset, and lowered his eyes in meditation.

Luo and the others were almost at the door of the house, and were suddenly stopped by a group of children.

"Luo, you're finally back!"

"How did you do in the exam, and are the questions difficult?"

"What a delicious meal to cook at home!"

……

The children chattered around Luo, but Luo didn't hear a word.

The man in the dark green auspicious cloud lace white long horse coat couldn't help laughing when he looked at Luo, who was surrounded by children and was looking confused, and waved his hand to the children.

"Okay, he's tired and needs to rest now, it's time to eat, you guys go back to the house."

The children scattered sensibly and ran home with a leap of time, shouting in their mouths.

"Lowe is back! Let's eat! ”

Seeing the carefree appearance of the children, the corners of Luo's mouth hooked up a smile, and there was envy in his eyes.

"Lowe is back! Lowe is back! ”

The children jumped into the yard, and the otherwise noisy yard was quiet for a few seconds.

"It's finally back." The young people got up and prepared to greet Lowe.

The old men came back to their senses and looked at the door.

The old man sitting in the main seat finally reacted, raising his eyes to look at Luo, who was walking in front of the five guardians, with an expressionless face.

The young people immediately greeted them and congratulated them.

"Congratulations on passing the trial!"

"Congratulations!"

"You're a great hero now!"

Luo smiled and responded one by one, and walked towards the old man step by step, and the old man quietly withdrew his gaze.

As Luo approached the old man, the young people sat down one after another to keep quiet.

Luo stood beside the old man and looked down at the old man slightly.

"Master, I'm back."

The master didn't have any superfluous expressions and movements, didn't even look at Luo, and replied lightly.

"Sit down."

Lola sat on the stool to the right of the Master, and looked up to see a bowl of rice in front of her, and all she could reach was her favorite food.

The corners of Luo's mouth hooked slightly, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

The old men sitting at the table did not blame Luo for moving chopsticks first, but quietly watched Luo eat, with a doting smile on their faces.

"Eat and eat, eat and drink well!"

A bald old man knocked on the bowl with chopsticks, shouted, and everyone began to move the chopsticks.

The atmosphere that had finally quieted down came alive again, with the sounds of eating, chatting, laughing, and the clashing of wine glasses...... This time, it was not only the young people who were bustling there, but also the old people.

Luo ate intently, looking up from time to time at these old men who were pushing cups and changing lamps. Some of them are friends of his master, some are friends of friends, and several of them Luo have seen each other since they were children, although they have not dealt with each other much, but they will have a little impression, such as the bald old man just now, Luo can see him every time he has a meal.

Luo has no parents since he was a child, the master is his only relative, and the five guardians take turns to take care of him and bring him up, although no one has mentioned the words "home" and "relatives", but Luo has long acquiesced to this "home" in his heart.

Luo put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating, looked up at this big family, and sighed silently in his heart: If there are more people, the yard will not be able to fit.

Luo quietly moved the stool, slipped away while the old men were not paying attention, and quickly ran to the pond behind the house, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out.

As soon as Luo closed his eyes now, the scene of the fire trial appeared in his mind, and Luo had never encountered such a disgusting trial.

Those bloody and violent scenes are commonplace for Luo, and what really makes Luo unacceptable is the suspicion between family and the conspiracy driven by interests.

Thinking of this, Luo's stomach turned over for a while, and he held his knees and began to retch.

"Vomit ......"

One hand patted Luo's back and helped Luo go down.

Luo took a big breath to adjust his state, and after a while he recovered and looked back at the owner of the hand.

"Why are you here?"

The black-clad guardian withdrew his hand, slipped it into his coat pocket, and looked nonchalantly at the surface of the pond.

"Are you alright?"

Lo clasped his hands around his chest, "Of course I'm fine, what can I do?" ”

The black-clothed guardian sneered, "Don't be reckless, you will look like a dead person after participating in the trial, and everyone will be worried." ”

"Hmph~" Luo tilted his head arrogantly. "If you were really worried, you wouldn't have come to make fun of me right now."

The black-clothed guardian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said nonchalantly: "There is still a golden trial tomorrow, if you are really uncomfortable, you can go to the latest one, and don't oversleep at that time." ”

After the black-clothed guardian finished speaking, he walked away leisurely, and Luo frowned and stared at his back.

"Hey, what do you mean!"
