Chapter 7 Fair play is first-come, first-served

Bai Xiao sat in the VIP lounge of Xinhu Restaurant, feeling a bit like the "colorful eyes" in the snowy mountains, which is a very small and cute harmless creature, feeding on ice and snow, smart and fast, with a gorgeous and dazzling iridescent eye on his forehead, like the most precious gem in the world. Legend has it that under the witness of the colorful eyes, the vow of love can last forever.

Therefore, every time Colored Eyes appear in the mountains, it will attract onlookers from the tribe, especially young hunters, who will do their best to bring their crushes, and then release their passion for mating under the gaze of Colorful Eyes.

Bai Xiao is surrounded by such a group of southern teenagers who are anxious during the courtship period.

"Your name is Bai Xiao, where are you, why have you never heard of you?"

"Who sent you here? If you can bid for more than 700,000 yuan, it shouldn't be a small family with no name and no surname, right?"

"Your story is well written, who taught you? Miss Qingyue's innocence may be deceived by your rhetoric, we are different, our details will definitely be found out, and when the time comes, no matter who the family behind you is, you will definitely not be able to bear the consequences." ”

......

There are endless rumors like this, Bai Xiao only regarded it as environmental noise and ignored it completely, because he could not hear the slightest willingness to communicate from these noises, and he was purely venting his personal anger. It looks like a scavenging dog that barks around a giant beast.

Until a girl in a pitch-black robe suddenly sat down opposite him, put down two cups of tea, and said, "Bai Gongzi, fortunately." ”

Only then did Bai Xiao raise his head and look at the other party.

The girl looked about the same age as Qingyue, and her small face was still full of greenness, but her eyes were smart and clever, which reminded Bai Xiao of those little beasts who were weak in physical strength but were like fish in water on the snowy mountains.

"I'm Sun Wen, after King Qing, and I'm also a candidate this time. Where is Bai Gongzi from?"

As she spoke, Sun Wen picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

"This is the potpourri I brought, it's not a superb, but the taste is clear and sweet, and Qingyue likes it too. ”

Bai Xiao also picked up the teacup and drank it all, only to feel that the taste was bland, how could there be anything clear and sweet?

At the same time, there was a slight commotion in the crowd gathered not far away, but it was stopped by Sun Wen's retrospective gaze.

Then the girl repeated her question: "Where are you from?"

"The snow-capped mountains of the north, the white-clothed tribe. ”

Sun Wen showed an expression of obvious surprise.

"Snow Mountain" refers to the snow-capped mountain north of the Gray Plains, where humans live, ...... it."

Sun Wen stopped talking, looked at the teacup in front of Bai Xiao, and felt that things were getting more and more incredible, and couldn't help but freeze there.

At this time, a blue-shirted young man said with a smile: "Miss Sun Wen, you think things simply, since this person dares to be exposed in broad daylight, the person who designed it behind the scenes must have taken care of all the details, and this person's identity and origin, etc., have also made up a set of self-justifying rhetoric......"

Sun Wen was puzzled: "But he drank tea!"

If someone gave him deep hypnosis beforehand and made him believe a set of lies, then no matter how much he drank Baihua confiding, what he said was still a lie, so it was useless for you to ask this. ”

Sun Wen was a little unhappy: "Otherwise, how else can you ask?" Qi Wei, you have the right words, why don't you ask?"

Qi Wei shook his head and said: "Why do you need to ask about this kind of thing? You can understand it after a little scrutiny, first of all, I think no one among the people present will really believe his nonsense, right? Born in the Snow Mountain tribe, and the Qingyue girl is boyfriend and girlfriend? Not to mention that in that desperate situation infested with demon beasts, is it really possible that there are human tribes, and even if there are, they will be isolated from the territory of civilization for at least one or two thousand years, so how different is their writing and language from us? Let's just say that there are slight differences in accents between our hundred cities in Daqin, and the pronunciation of the people in Dongli City is very rare, and when it comes to the south, from the south of Xia Yuguan, the local vernacular has made it difficult for people in the capital area to understand. As for the Eastern Continent, although it is the same civilization as ours, it is separated by a sea, and even the writing has been very different for two thousand years. Excuse me, why is this snow-capped boy able to speak a relatively standard official dialect, and he can recognize the characters here, and even his own handwriting is quite good! I have seen his signature on the registration form at the front desk, and his skills are extraordinary. ”

The remark provoked a chorus of response.

"Qi Gongzi is really amazing!"

"It is worthy of being a descendant of the grandmaster, this genius is really envied by ordinary people...... I heard that he scored 95 points in the theory mock test, which is close to the historical record. Relying on this theoretical foundation alone, he got half of the admission notice. ”

Qi Wei only smiled at the discussion behind him, and said: "What I just said is actually just a judgment of common sense, even if I don't say it, everyone present will not believe his nonsense." And then the point is what, what is his origin, and who sent him? This question seems to be nowhere to be found, but in fact there is still a context, for example, the person behind the scenes can take out the dragon's tears worth 780,000 silver dollars, which is enough to narrow the scope to a very small size. ”

"Wait, Qi Gongzi, this may not be, 780,000 silver dollars is indeed a lot, but if someone is plotting behind the scenes, desperate to try to get more returns from Miss Qingyue. Even if it's an ordinary family, it may not be impossible to make it up. ”

Qi Wei said: "The problem is that it is the dragon's tears, not the silver. This kind of precious gem is very rare in circulation, especially in good condition! This is a natural gem that cannot be artificially made, and the storage conditions are very strict, if it is not stored properly, the magic energy will continue to be lost, so usually only the demon family will have a collection. I have a few Dragon's Tears in my house...... But to be honest, the quality is slightly inferior in comparison. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, although the Qi family was not a top-level demon family, but three hundred years ago, there was also a Heavenly Apocalypse Grandmaster in the family, and the background was still there, if even the Qi family did not have such a good appearance of Dragon Tears......

"Secondly, put in a dragon's tear and weave a set of identities and rhetoric that are ridiculous in the world, where is the reward for doing this? Everyone does things for a purpose, for example, everyone here, including me, spent several times the price to stay in Xinhu Restaurant, for what? I think most people should be to make friends and meet future Taoist friends in advance. So what is the purpose of this Bai Xiao? Want to have a relationship with Miss Qingyue? I'm afraid this is not realistic. But it is not difficult for us to notice that after he appeared, Miss Qingyue was greatly affected, she should have concentrated on preparing for the exam at Xinhu Restaurant, but now she wasted precious time to go to Dean Zhu to confirm those ridiculous questions...... Although with her talent, there is no doubt about the admission notice of the academy, but the score of the entrance exam is likely to be much lower than expected, and this will not only affect her placement results, but also affect Dean Zhu himself, after all, Miss Qingyue is the dean's closed disciple, the dean has rejected the invitation of countless wealthy families for decades, but accepted a girl from a mysterious background as an apprentice, if there is a problem with her growth, the dean will also be implicated. So back to the previous question, what kind of person is willing to spend so many resources and effort to specifically target Dean Zhu and Miss Qingyue? Do they have such enemies in the Western Continent? Or is the other party not from the Western Continent?"

Speaking of this, Qi Wei paused for a moment, looked at the crowd around him who were constantly falling into contemplation, and said, "I don't know if you have heard of the 'Narcissus Hall' in the Eastern Continent. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many young people suddenly became ugly, and a very small number of people showed confusion.

Qi Wei explained: "Narcissus Hall is an agency of the Yuan Dynasty that specializes in dealing with foreign intelligence work, with tentacles all over the Eastern and Western Continents, and has planned many earth-shattering events, such as the Horizon tragedy a hundred years ago, which is said to be the handiwork of Narcissus Hall. ”

And when it comes to the Horizon tragedy, everyone present knows about it.

A hundred years ago, King Xiang, who was sitting in the north, didn't know where to listen to the rumors, and mistakenly thought that at the end of the horizon, there were rare treasures of ancient times hidden in the snow-capped mountains in the north, so he gathered a large army to go out to the snow-capped mountains, and the whole army was wiped out in just half a month. In that expedition, the Great Qin Dynasty lost nearly 100,000 soldiers and soldiers, and more than 500 Demon Daoists fell, including even three quasi-grandmasters, which can be called the most tragic battle of the Great Qin Dynasty in the past thousand years.

There are different opinions about the tragedy a hundred years ago, but it is undeniable that the biggest doubt is: the Great Qin Dynasty was founded 1,400 years ago, counting the Lu Dynasty and the colonial era before that, for more than 2,000 years, no one has ever thought of crossing the northern barrier and going deep into the snow-capped mountains.

Now it seems that the Narcissus Hall in the Eastern Continent is a reasonable explanation. Since the independence of the Western Continent, the attitude of the Yuan Dynasty towards the Western Continent has been very ambiguous, admitting independence on the surface, but the conspiracy and destruction in the secret have continued one after another, from the fall of the Lu Dynasty to the bizarre fall of some demon masters, there is a shadow of the Narcissus Hall behind it, so that now if there is any incident in the Western Continent, someone will attribute it to the conspiracy of the Narcissus Hall.

Qi Wei linked Bai Xiao with Narcissus Hall, although there was no real evidence, but there was no need for any real evidence, so it seemed to arouse everyone's hatred.

And just as he was about to fall further into the well, someone suddenly spoke.

"I think you might as well believe that what he said is true, he is indeed from the Snow Mountain Tribe, and he and Qingyue were indeed boyfriend and girlfriend. Compared with doing everything possible to prove that he was lying, and even did not hesitate to use a hundred flowers to confide, Narcissus Hall ...... It is more logical to agree with his rhetoric. ”

These words were obviously a little out of place, but when the words fell, I saw Qi Wei bowing his head respectfully: "What Lu Gongzi said is, I am a little preconceived. ”

Sun Wen also blushed: "I'm sorry, I made my own decisions." ”

Whether it is Sun Wen or Qi Wei, they are both from famous families, high-profile wizards of the Demon Dao, and their talents and family backgrounds are also considered first-class in the Great Qin Dynasty, but at this time, they both sincerely bowed their heads.

Because the surname of the person who spoke was Lu.

1,800 years ago, the Yuan Dynasty's colonial policy in the Western Continent became more and more stringent so that the people were struggling to make a living, so the overlord Lu Hao raised troops to become independent, and after more than 200 battles, the Yuan Dynasty's garrison in the Western Continent was bloodied, and finally exchanged for the independence of the entire continent. The dynasty then lasted for 400 years before being replaced by the Qin dynasty. And the change of dynasty did not kill people, the Lu family just gave up the throne, and then ruled Hongshan City as the king of the county for 1400 years, and it is still a top family second only to the royal family.

Lu Xun is the first heir to the throne of the contemporary Lu family, and he is also the culmination of the Lu family's demon bloodline. And the bloodline of the Lu family lasts for two thousand years, and if the master of each generation does not die halfway, he can enter the realm of the grandmaster.

Compared with such people, Sun Wen, Qi Wei and others immediately became dim, not to mention that the Sun family and the Qi family were vassals of the Lu family hundreds of years ago, and now that Lu Xun opened his mouth, the two naturally did not dare to question it.

"Then, Bai Xiao Gongzi, we will accept your statement in its entirety, and welcome your arrival on behalf of Hongshan City. ”

As he spoke, Lu Xun snapped his fingers, and the teacups on the tea table were replaced, and the new fragrance of tea came to his face.

"This is the Xiangyang tea I tried growing on my own estate, so I might as well give it a try. ”

Bai Xiao looked at this Lu Xun, and only felt that this southerner was completely different from everyone else, although he was wearing a man's clothes, the long hair tied behind his head was softer and brighter than that of a woman, his skin was as fine as jade, bright and bright, and even his voice was as orderly as a southern drizzle.

However, this person is the one who has the strongest sense of oppression among the people present, and the rest of the people, no matter what they say or do, in Bai Xiao's opinion, are environmental noises that can be ignored, just like the small herbivores that hunters encounter when they walk on the snowy mountains, only this Lu Xun has a bit of carnivore blood.

"So, you're my competitor?"

Bai Xiao picked up the teacup, drank all the Xiangyang tea, wiped his mouth, and threw out his own questions.

Lu Xun couldn't help but be stunned, not only for this straightforward question, but also for the other party's bold gesture of drinking tea, this Xiangyang tea is a famous product he tried to plant, and it is also an authentic magic product, the tea tree condenses the essence of sunlight, each piece of tea contains a whole day's light energy, this cup of tea seems to be ordinary, but it is like a lit oil, a cup of belly, ordinary people are afraid that they will roll all over the ground on the spot.

However, being able to take out the Dragon's Tears to bid for the Grandmaster's room, and being able to claim to be Qingyue's ex-boyfriend in front of everyone, of course, this kind of person can't be an ordinary person, so after Lu Xun was surprised, he smiled and said: "If your so-called competition refers to opposing your relationship with Qingyue, then everyone present is your competitor." With all due respect, if you really like Miss Qingyue, you shouldn't come to her, stay in the snowy mountains and continue to live in isolation, which is good for both of you. ”

Bai Xiao was a little puzzled, and asked a little funny: "So the way you southerners really like a person is to be separated from each other forever?

"You bastard......"

"Presumptuous ......"

Just when countless roars and scolds were about to erupt, I heard Lu Xun laugh loudly: "Hahahaha, that's really good, it's even better than I expected, I didn't expect you to be different from what you look like, you are a very thorough guy, no wonder Qingyue will look at you differently." ”

As he spoke, Lu Xun also picked up the teacup, drank it all, and then turned his head and said to the person behind him with a puzzled face: "I know what everyone is thinking, this kind of snow-capped mountain savage is definitely not worthy of our Demon Dao Princess, it is best to come from and go back." But this is just our wishful thinking, if from his point of view, there is no reason to give up the pursuit of that flawless girl, really like someone, it never means to let go, but to do everything possible to keep the other person by his side. ”

Some people can't accept it: "But his background and even his relationship with Miss Qingyue are just the words of his family, and I don't think it's credible at all......"

Lu Xun waved his hand: "There is indeed no evidence, but it can be reasoned logically." ”

At this time, even Qi Wei didn't understand: "Master Lu, what do you mean ......?"

"Because at least Qingyue is the party who believes it, otherwise why would she waste precious time preparing for the exam but ask the dean to confirm the matter? And since the parties believe it, what reason do I have to question her?"

"What kind of logical reasoning is this......

"Or in other words, Miss Qingyue believes it, what's the difference between you believing it or not?"

Sun Wen said unwillingly: "Then we will ...... like this"

"Of course not. Lu Xun said, "I only believe in their past, and I don't recognize their present and future." Even if Miss Qingyue had fallen in love with him in the past, it was also a matter of the Snow Mountain Era, and it was a past that had been forgotten by Miss Qingyue. ”

"If you forget it, you can get it back......"

"How do you find it?" Lu Xun asked, "What was erased by the Broken Sect Master himself, even he himself may not be able to find it back, not to mention that Miss Qingyue will want to retrieve her memory?"

Sun Wen was even more puzzled: "Knowing that my memory has been manipulated, of course I will ......"

"Of course? that's just a matter of course...... Let me give you an example at random, suppose there is a girl from a famous family, who is innocent and noble, intelligent and virtuous, and has an infinitely better future...... However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, when she just entered the rebellious period, she was tempted by a lowly slave and had a reluctance, but she was later cleaned of her memory by the elders of the family. What's more, people's memories are closely related to personality, and a person whose memories have been washed away can be regarded as a completely new person. On the other hand, that erased memory is a new life for her, would you be willing to suddenly carry someone else's life?"

Sun Wen was speechless.

Qi Wei said: "The important thing is not what we think, but what Miss Qingyue thinks. ”

Lu Xun sighed: "Yes, what matters is the thoughts of the parties, so I hope that this Bai Gongzi can be a stupid person, so that I can also drive him out of Hongshan City and even out of the territory of civilization without any pressure, but unfortunately he is not stupid, but a genius." ”

When Bai Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This title is really rare, even in the tribe, people only praise him for his talent in hunting and martial arts, few people will praise his intelligence with a clear conscience, and Qingyue even talks about stupid people all year round.

Praised as a genius by this noble son among the southerners, Bai Xiao's first reaction was to question the average IQ level of the southern continent.

And this is also a very reasonable doubt, because in the snowy mountains, there are always not many creatures with strong individual strength or intelligence and cunning. In turn, there are many of them, often weak and stupid creatures.

Now it is known that the first condition is that the people of the Snow Mountain tribe are scarce, and there are only about 10,000 people at the most prosperous time. The second known condition is that the southern continent has a large population, and in the books, the Great Qin Dynasty alone had more than a billion people a hundred years ago. And the Yuan Dynasty in the Eastern Continent was even more prosperous and powerful.

Therefore, according to Bai Xiao's understanding, a very reasonable inference is that compared to the Snow Mountain people, the southerners are weak and stupid, so they can only be regarded as middle-class people in the tribe, and when they arrive in the southern continent, they become geniuses.

Thinking of this, the Southern Continent instantly became amiable, and even the gaze looking at Lu Xun and the others softened a little, as if they were giants looking down on the mentally retarded.

Lu Xun frowned, only feeling a little uncomfortable all over his body, but quickly got rid of this illusion and continued: "Normally, it is impossible for a wild man from the north to abduct the Demon Dao Princess in Hongshan City, because the growth of the princess is not only her business, but also a major national event related to the Great Sect Master and even the Great Qin Dynasty. But on the contrary, this savage caught the key person at a critical time. ”

Qi Wei pondered for a moment: "Miss Qingyue herself?"

"She is the only one who has the ability to break the game, after all, her own will cannot be ignored. ”

Qi Wei said again: "But according to what you said before, Miss Qingyue, you shouldn't want to get your memories back." ”

"She has a great life in Hongshan City, so why is it necessary to add a memory of falling in love with the wild people of the snowy mountains......?

"Involuntarily?" Sun Wen said puzzled, "She is in Hongshan City, with the protection of the Great Grandmaster, and the company of our friends, who would dare to let her be involuntarily? If this Bai Xiao dares to force her, even in Xinhu Restaurant, we can make him disappear in an instant!"

Lu Xun said: "The coercion at the physical level is the most inferior coercion, it is not worth mentioning, I am afraid that this genius savage will use moral coercion...... As a simple example, what if he claimed that during the Snow Mountain period, he had the grace to save Qingyue's life?"

Sun Wen suddenly opened her mouth and stammered.

Lu Xun said again: "Even if he is not only kind to Qingyue herself, but also to her parents and relatives? What if the relationship between them is sincere and warm, and life and death go hand in hand? It is impossible for Qingyue to refuse such a past on the grounds of amnesia." ”

"But Lu Gongzi, since you have seen through all this, you only need to expose his lies when the time comes......"

Lu Xun smiled: "What if it's not a lie?"

“...... So, that can't be, right?"

Lu Xun said: "Emotionally, I don't want to accept this speculation, but if you think rationally, this possibility is really frighteningly high." Because if it weren't for the unusually deep connection between these two people, there would be no need for the Grandmaster to forcibly erase their memories. It's a pity that this Bai Xiao didn't know what to rely on, he retrieved his memory, and found Hongshan City all the way to Qingyue, making the grandmaster fall short. ”

"It's not a failure, Qingyue just said that she would ask the dean to confirm the matter, if the dean doesn't admit it......"

"Even you said that you 'don't admit it,' so what else is there to say? Even you subconsciously accepted this conclusion. Lu Xun smiled and said, "And she, is she a person who can deceive herself?"

Before the words fell, I heard the laughter of a girl not far away.

"Of course, it's impossible to fool yourself. ”

Under the horrified eyes of countless people, Qing Yue ran over from the entrance of the VIP room and stood in front of Bai Xiao.

The teacher admitted it. ”
