Chapter 147: Token of Promise (2/3)
At the end of June, a storm swept across the entire territory of the Great Qin Empire, and the rest of the waves shook and would not stop for a long time.
The death of the third prince has made the imperial political scene suddenly become treacherous, and his supporters have sought new refuge, or simply retreated to the White Night City. During this period, several princes showed their own powers and competed for limited political resources.
The gray plains of the north ushered in the migration of a declining family, and the pattern of this borderlands suddenly became turbulent......
Huang Buming, the great master of Dongli City, was beheaded by the eldest princess, was seriously injured and dying, and had to retreat for a long time, so this hub port city connecting the eastern and western continents suddenly became wide-opened.
The battlefield in southern Xinjiang fell into blood and mud, and the battle situation was once erosive......
But for the people of Red Mountain College, after the storm passed, it was unusually peaceful.
Less than two days after the emergency interim meeting, all the work of the Academy was back on track. Under the arrangement of the acting dean's note, it was as if the earth-shattering disaster had never happened.
There was neither a serious political purge nor drastic personnel changes.
Even the resignations of several deeply guilty mentors were sent back by the notes.
Except for the pitch-black ruins that can still be seen when walking through the academy, everything else seems to be a flash in the pan.
The calm on the surface naturally corresponds to the turbulent undercurrent, and no one will forget to note that at that meeting, facing the yellow-clothed leader of the Secret Agent Bureau, he sharply expressed the position of the academy.
When the great master comes back, even the principal and interest will be understood!
The Grand Master has already started his journey back from the Void Ruins and will be back to the academy by mid-July, when the mid-year test begins, at the latest.
And before that, for Red Mountain Academy, stability, even if it is only superficial, is crucial!
The academy's mid-year test will begin soon, and both students and tutors have put too much effort into this test, and this test itself is also related to the future of hundreds of young demon Taoists.
Therefore, it is better to keep a lot of waves below the surface of the water, but also to protect the learning environment for students.
Of course, this piece of hard work will also be misunderstood and even attacked, but the language is not afraid at all.
Because her own resignation has already been written, she will take the blame and resign as long as the Grand Master returns.
Now, she only hopes that her hard work will not be wasted.
——
For the vast majority of students, the calm of the academy is destined to remain only superficial.
Students from wealthy families, their families are bound to be implicated in this storm that swept the country, and they can't help but pay attention to it. And even a student from a civilian background, as a future elite destined to enter the upper echelons of the empire in the future, cannot ignore current affairs.
In the entire academy, the one who behaved the most calmly was the one who had the least reason to be calm.
Bai Xiao silently flipped through the magic notes excerpted from Zuo Qingsui, consolidating and strengthening the memory in his mind again.
Without the ability of those geniuses to remember and the ability to calculate with one heart and one world, all Bai Xiao can do is focus and diligence.
Even just two days ago, he forcibly comprehended the Dual Consciousness Divine Power in a suicidal way, causing his internal organs to be gnawed to the ground, and then he personally killed 8 Silver Spike agents, regaining his vitality in an incredible way.
These days, there are more than thirty Demon Dao masters who have made appointments for Bai Xiao to do a physical examination, and there are even people who have made a special trip from White Night City to witness this magic Dao miracle.
Even if everyone is speculating about the fact that the snowy mountain hunter will carry out his own revenge.
But Bai Xiao himself was indifferent to all this and completely focused on the textbook.
Because now that's all he can do.
The person who should be killed has been killed by the eldest princess, and the person who should be responsible has also been pushed out by the royal family to behead the public, and the immortal tree has been reduced from a vibrant new force to a mourning dog overnight...... Even if Bai Xiao is full of enthusiasm, he has no way to vent at this time.
Could it be that he went to East Fence City to chase and kill the remnants of the Immortal Tree?
That's not what he should do, what he should do is to make himself stronger, so strong that this kind of thing will never happen again, so strong that no one dares to provoke him with the safety of the people around him.
It's as if no one on the snowy mountain has ever dared to provoke Bai Wuya's attraction of the opposite sex, and he didn't even dare to show the slightest disrespect.
And to become strong, reading books is the only way to go, so ......
"Xiaobai, did you hear me talking to you!"
The girl in the platinum dress shook Bai Xiao's arm in a bit of anger, trying to drag him out of the focused atmosphere.
"I'm leaving, aren't you going to say it!?"
Bai Xiaoqi said: "Didn't I wish you a smooth journey?"
"You should keep me at this time!"
Bai Xiao was even more inexplicable: "It doesn't make sense for you to say this, since you have something important and have to go, if I forcibly keep you, won't it make you embarrassed for nothing?"
"That's right. Lan Lan lowered her head and sighed a little lost, "Sister Ying's side is in need of my help, I have been taken care of by her before, I must go." But I don't know how long it will take to quell the commotion of the Savage Spirit, and I can't rest assured that you're here alone, so let's do the wedding first......"
When Bai Xiao heard half of it, he stopped paying attention to Lan Lan and concentrated on reading.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Lan Lan bared his teeth angrily, but at this time, a small pink package was handed over from the side.
Zuo Qingsui, a petite girl, held a lunch box wrapped in a pink handkerchief: "That, Sister Lanlan, this is a pickle sent by my family, you can take it with you on the road to eat." ”
Lan Lan felt the dark clouds in his heart swept away in an instant, and couldn't help but hold Zuo Qingsui in his arms and touch his head: "Ahhh
Zuo Qingsui's face was flushed: "No, no, I still have to take the exam......"
"Then I can wait until the test is over!
Zuo Qingsui was embarrassed: "I, that, I'm still a student......"
"Over there, I'll ask Sister Sakura to teach you, the great grandmaster teaches hand-in-hand, this treatment is not common, and there are many demon masters in the Southern Xinjiang Legion, all of them can be recruited to be your personal mentor!"
"Eh, don't bother, I, I'm fine here......"
Lan Lan suddenly smiled: "It's because Xiaobai is here! You like him, so you are reluctant to leave." ”
"No!" Zuo Qingsui turned pale with fright this time, "I didn't!"
"It's okay, you're so cute, I allow you to like Xiaobai! After Xiaobai and I get married, let's live together! How about giving you half a wedding? What do you like?"
Seeing that Lan Lan's violent stroking was becoming more and more unspeakable, Bai Xiao had to interrupt the review and stand up.
As a result, before he could speak, Lan Lan pursed his mouth.
"I'm going to travel far away, and I'm still going to a dangerous place like the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, but you are only willing to sit and say a good journey. As a result, you can't stand this little guy with a little tears, it's too eccentric!"
Bai Xiao had a headache when he heard this, so he had to say: "If one day you are also held and stroked, I will definitely save you?"
Lan Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?!I knew that Xiaobai you liked me!"
As he spoke, he was going to pounce again......
Seeing that the scene was about to be chaotic again, there were two knocks in front of the door of the study, Qingyue entered with a smile, and under Lan Lan's grinning hostility, she carried a delicate gift box and placed it in front of Bai Xiao.
"The teacher asked me to bring it to you, and it has been cleaned up by the tutors and can be used directly. ”
As she spoke, she opened the gift box, revealing a delicate black cabin.
Lan Lan immediately forgot about his hatred, looked over, and looked at it curiously.
Qing Yue explained, "This is the legendary magic tool used by the Immortal Tree that day, the Shadow Theater. ”
As she spoke, Qingyue stretched out her hand and carefully opened the door of the small cabin, only to see that behind the door inside was a spacious hall, and there was a stage in the middle, on which stood several black shadows, performing a drama vividly. If you put your ears over to it, you can even hear the sound of singing.
Even Zuo Qingsui couldn't help but be curious, quietly avoided Lan Lan, and stood behind Qingyue to see the theater.
Qingyue smiled, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the roof, and then the demonic energy in her body worked, sending it into this magic weapon.
In an instant, a black shadow burst out of the door, dramatically expanded to the size of an ordinary person, and stood beside Qing Yue.
The shadow was pitch black, but it was holding a long gray knife, and then under Qingyue's signal, it gradually turned transparent and invisible. The next moment, an invisible fluctuation flashed, and a newspaper on Bai Xiao's desk was cut in half.
But from the "thickness", it is divided into two halves!
"It's amazing!" Zuo Qingsui couldn't help but exclaim.
Qing Yue shook her head: "In my hands, the most I can do is to play some acrobatics, and I need someone who really knows martial arts to use it in order to give full play to the maximum effect of this magic tool." If Xiao Bai had controlled this magic tool that day, I am afraid that one person would have been able to kill me and Lan Lan in Huangquan......"
Bai Xiao didn't have any special thoughts about this legendary magic device, although it did look fun, but he still trusted his bone spear more than the shadow...... Speaking of which, he has been enrolled in school for so long, and his demonic cultivation is also quite successful, but he has always subconsciously regarded himself as a snowy mountain hunter, not a demonic Taoist.
Perhaps, you can also start with this toy and gradually adjust your mentality.
Bai Xiao was thinking about it, when he suddenly felt a fragrant wind in front of him, but saw that Lan Lan had almost pasted his entire little face, and his two big eyes flashed with curiosity and begging.
Bai Xiao has been with her childhood sweetheart for sixteen years, of course she knows what kind of illness she is guilty of.
She wanted this shadow theater too, and she wanted it so hard to scratch it.
Qing Yue laughed beside her: "This is a demonic tool, it's useless for you to take a witch wish." ”
Lan Lan snorted and ignored it. What's so great about the heart path and the demon way, when I arrive at the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang, let Sister Ying teach casually, I'm afraid it won't be the master level. When the time comes, I will use this small theater to perform my wedding with Xiaobai every day, and I will be angry with you!
Bai Xiao was easy to speak, and handed the cabin directly to Lan Lan: "If you like it, take it." ”
Lan Lan's heart was full of joy: "I knew ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Xiao: "I won't give it if I say it again." ”
Lan Lan nodded vigorously and held the wooden house, unable to put it down for a while.
However, Lan Lan held the wooden house in his arms and played with it for a long time, and finally returned it to Bai Xiao with a red face.
This is quite what Bai Xiao expected, in his impression, Xiao Lan has rarely let out the things in his hands!
saw Lan Lan's little face blushing slightly, and said in a greasy voice: "Xiaobai, this shadow theater, it's useless for me to take it now, so I'll give it to you as a love token, okay......"
