Chapter 52: The Gatekeeper

At this time, it was dusk, and when the two came to the city gate, they both stopped unconsciously, Zhuge Longlong took out a thousand noodles from his arms and handed it to Xin'er and said: "For the sake of you taking me away from Xiangtan Mountain, this thousand noodles will be given to you." ”

Xin'er couldn't help but be a little surprised when she took Qianmian in her heart, although Zhuge Longlong returned her necklace and other items, but Qianmian himself didn't return it to him, and now Xin'er felt that although this family didn't like what she said, it was still more trustworthy in the end.

Thinking so in her heart, Xin'er's favor towards Zhuge Longlong couldn't help but increase a little, but she still didn't give up: "This is originally mine, and you should come back!"

Xin'er took Qianmian and was about to bring it, when Zhuge Longlong said: "You want to enter the school, I advise you not to do this, and don't hide your cultivation." School is different from the outside, although there are fights, challenges, and threats, but the truth is valuable, anything false will be despised in school, and school is the best stage to show yourself, not a place to hide yourself. So, I advise you not to do that. And the city is safe, so you don't have to worry. ”

"I want you to take care of it!" Xin'er still said stubbornly, but she had already put the thousand faces into the storage ring.

Zhuge Longlong smiled, "The school is in the middle of the city, you go quickly, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

Hearing that Xin'er was leaving, Xin'er couldn't help but ask, "You, don't you go into the city?"

Zhuge Longlong shook his head, "I'll go to the annex to do something, and I won't go in, let's leave it at that, I hope you can kill me next time we meet." ”

Hearing this, Xin'er didn't know why she couldn't be happy, maybe she was going to be alone and feeling lonely, maybe she felt that there was no hope of killing him, or maybe it was because of other reasons. Xin'er just nodded, then turned around and entered the city, and after walking for a long time, Xin'er looked back uncontrollably, and saw Zhuge Longlong showing an expected smile and waving to himself, Xin'er was suddenly angry and embarrassed, blushing and bringing the hat, and walking quickly into the crowd without looking back.

Watching Xin'er disappear into the crowd, Zhuge Longlong sighed with emotion: Little guy, I can only help you get here, the next road has to be on your own, you must grow up quickly, okay, I have to slip away quickly, so that the female devil will find out that I am here and will be arrested and educated, and then quickly disappear at the city gate.

Although Xin'er chose to believe that Zhuge Longlong did not bring a thousand faces, it has become a habit for Xin'er to walk alone in the crowd and carry a hat, and Nameless has also done it, when she is not strong enough, don't expose herself as the mother of the earth, so although Xin'er did not hide her cultivation, she hid her own elements, at least making outsiders look like she was just an ordinary level 29 earth element magician.

Compared to Falling Flowers, Ansai City is more prosperous and safer, and magic is not allowed on the streets. It is precisely because of this that those ordinary people are given a place to live in peace. The streets are full of goods, countless shops, and the constant cries of selling make the spacious streets seem very narrow but lively, and among these people, there are many ordinary people, who work hard to run their shops, and bargain with the people who come to buy goods, even if the other party is a magician, they are not afraid, because they know that here they are protected by the law.

Xin'er didn't like this noisy atmosphere, silently lowered her head, and walked straight to Ansai Academy.

Ansai College, located in the center of Ansai City, occupies a very large area, and is located in the center of the city in a square shape. The walls of the academy were five meters tall and covered with magical patterns, which would not have been possible to climb over under normal circumstances.

Compared to the walls, the gate of the academy is a bit shabby, the academy has only one gate, and it is just a very ordinary iron gate, which has long been rusted, and the students enter and exit there. The traces of time clinged to the rust, constantly corroding the tattered gate, as if it could be pushed to the gate with a single force.

The small gate has two small openings on the left and right, left in and right out, each entrance only allows two people to pass side by side, and next to the door is a table and rocking chair, an old man lying on the rocking chair, looking like a gatekeeper, to prevent students from entering and exiting at will.

Looking through the narrow gate, you can only see some flowers and plants and a black male statue, he stands with his hands behind his back, his expression is solemn, looking into the distance, giving people a **, dignified feeling. Underneath the statue are a few big words: The First Headmaster Huang Yuanxiao - In Memory of the Immortal Hero.

Behind the statue is faintly visible a tower, the spire of the tower is exposed, like a hat on the head of the statue, and there is a slender pillar on the top of the tower, on which are strung with eight crystal balls, exuding different lusters.

Xin'er walked to the gate and asked the old man guarding inside, "Old man, is this Ansai Academy?"

The old man didn't even look at Xin'er, just lay down on the rocking chair leisurely and nodded calmly.

"I want to go in and find someone, can you let me in for a while?" I'll meet with that person and leave. Xin'er said respectfully.

The old man was still lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, but he waved his hand and said, "Little girl, the enrollment of our college has ended, and outsiders are not allowed to enter now, so you should come back next year." ”

"I'm not here to go to school, I'm here to find someone, please let me in, I'll leave as soon as I find that person. Xin'er said in a hurry.

The old man opened one eye, sat up from the rocking chair, looked Xin'er up and down, and said with interest, "Little girl, where are your shoes?"

Xin'er subconsciously shrank her feet and said, "I, my shoes were worn out when I was in a hurry before, and I didn't wear them until I found the right shoes." Xin'er didn't want to tell the truth to the old man in front of her, so she casually made up a lie.

"What's your name, little girl?" the old man asked.

"My name is Tian Xin'er. ”

The old man looked up, as if searching his memory for any impression of the name, but to no avail.

"You said you were looking for someone, tell me, what is the name of the person you are looking for?"

"Her name is Lu Mingyan," Xin'er replied.

The old man laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha, you are a beginner magician who came to our principal, not to study, why do you go, I see that you have a good talent, come back next year, I promise to let you in next year." ”

Xin'er looked at the old man and said seriously: "Old man, I really have an urgent matter to come to your principal, I really didn't come here to go to school, please let me in." ”

The old man looked at Xin'er, the two were silent for a long time, and finally, the old man finally turned his eyes away, got up slowly, stretched his waist, and opened the door and said: "Come in, you are lucky to meet me today, and if you want to change someone else, you will definitely not let you in." ”

Xin'er entered the academy and bowed heartily to the old man, "Old man, thank you, this is a little thank you, please accept it." As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his bosom and handed it to the old man.

The old man pushed open the money bag and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "You put your things away, I let you in not to get any benefit from you, but because I think you are worthy of my doing, if you do, I will not let you in." ”

Xin'er put away the money and said with a little shame: "I'm sorry old man, I'm too materialistic." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the principal, and by the way, I'll show you my academy, if you leave you alone, you may not see the principal for a day. The old man said flatly.

Xin'er bowed again, "Then there is Mr. Lao." ”

"My name is Liang Xuansheng, just call me Uncle Liang, an old gentleman sounds weird and awkward, do I look so old?"

Xin'er smiled: "Uncle Liang is not old at all, but I am frustrated." ”

"Little girl, what are you looking for our principal?" asked Liang Xuansheng.

"My grandfather told me to hand over the letter to the principal. Xin'er said.

"Oh, who is your grandfather?" Liang Xuansheng raised his eyebrows and said.

Xin'er thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry Uncle Liang, I can't tell you for the time being." Although Liang Xuansheng was very grateful for letting Xin'er in, Xin'er still didn't fully trust him in his heart, and finally chose to hide his origin.

"That's right. Liang Xuansheng didn't get angry when he heard this, and continued to ask, "Then have you seen our principal?"

Xin'er shook her head, "No, but if she shows up in front of me, I'll definitely recognize her! Grandpa has mentioned her to me many times." ”

"Then your grandfather must care about our headmaster. Liang Xuansheng said.

Xin'er nodded.

"Then why didn't your grandfather come and deliver the letter himself?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't say that. Xin'er said softly.

Liang Xuansheng sighed, "Seriously, I kind of regret letting you in now." ”

"I'm sorry. Xin'er lowered her head a little at a loss.

Liang Xuansheng touched Xin'er's head, "Okay, I'm kidding, everyone has their own secrets that can't be said, and I'm no exception." Since I promised to take you to the principal, I will definitely not break my word. Let's go. With that, Liang Xuansheng took Xin'er into the academy.

Xin'er nodded and silently followed.
