The Grandmaster Suite of Xinhu Restaurant is already an out-and-out legend in Hongshan City.

Every year during the academy examination period, the price of the restaurant will suddenly increase several times, and the grandmaster suite has repeatedly hit sky-high prices, and the symbolic meaning has been far greater than the actual meaning.

However, this does not mean that the grandmaster suite of Xinhu Restaurant is not good enough, on the contrary, after earning a huge amount of income every year, Xinhu Restaurant's investment in housing renovation is unmatched by any other peer.

Therefore, it is indeed a question whether the Grandmaster Suite in Xinhu is worth the sky-high room price, but there is no doubt that there is no room in Hongshan City that is more worthy of the sky-high room price.

"This is the bedroom, which has a dressing room and a bathroom, the mattress is custom-made from Xingmian Xing, and there is a small magic furnace inside, which can provide light magic energy infiltration and improve the quality of sleep, especially for candidates preparing for the exam, which is of great significance. ”

"This is the dining table, three meals a day will be delivered from the internal channel on time every day, if you have special needs, you can write on the card and vote from here, given that you have not eaten much of the food of the southern continent before, I recommend you to start with the local dishes of the gray plain, the taste will be relatively close. ”

"This is the magic energy room, which is connected to the big magic furnace placed at the bottom of the lake in the restaurant, where most of the regular magic path cultivation can be carried out, and it is also the most valuable part of the Grandmaster Suite. If you don't make good use of it, you'll lose money. ”

"This is the study room, and the bookshelves are directly connected to the underground library of the restaurant, where you can consult the bibliography, and if you need to borrow it, as long as you tick the bibliography, it will be sent through the internal passage. The exam is coming up in a few days, and here is my personal recommended preparation book. ”

"Okay, that's all for the main thing, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Qingyue walked briskly in the spacious suite, introducing everything here to Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao only listened silently, as if he had returned to the snow-capped mountain tribe, as if Qingyue was still standing under the night sky of the snow-capped mountains, explaining the legends and stories of the bright galaxy to him, and teaching him to recognize the meaning of each star.

In Bai Xiao's eyes, the girl's smile is charming, but what obsesses him the most is always Qingyue's confident and eloquent appearance.

"If there are no other problems, I will go first, and I have just made an appointment with the teacher to do the final exam preparation sprint in his laboratory. ”

Bidding farewell to Qingyue, Bai Xiao looked around the empty room, and the loneliness in his heart was replaced by a boiling sense of happiness before it could rise.

Things went even better than he expected.

Successfully arrived at Hongshan City, met Qingyue smoothly, and made a love agreement with her, so that now looking back, it is even a little unbelievable. Tirelessly preparing for war in the tribe, it seems that there is no place for it.

Isn't that effort in vain?

But soon, Bai Xiao calmed down, and the current result is only a phased result, and the test behind is still long. The love agreement made by Qingyue and him requires him to be successfully admitted to the academy and get at least the second position, which is simply impossible to achieve in the eyes of many people, but Bai Xiao feels that this difficulty is just right, and there is even some unfinished.

Since you want to compete for the ranking, of course, you should aim for the first, and the second seat is too weak. Although the chief means to compete directly with Qingyue herself, it is the romance of the snowy mountain boy to fight heartily and fiercely with his beloved.

Part of the reason why Bai Xiao had a soft spot for Qingyue, who was under a curse and lingering, was also because he took a fancy to the infinite potential hidden under the broken body, he never doubted that Qingyue would one day become a strong man who stood up to the sky, but he didn't expect it to be in such a way.

"Demon Dao Academy...... This needs to be looked into. ”

Bai Xiao casually found a soft couch and sat down, took out the candidate handbook he bought with a lot of money and looked at it.

According to the manual, the college's annual entrance examination is roughly composed of three parts: a magic energy test, a theory test, and an inhuman test. Due to the large number of applicants, there are at least more than 30,000 people in recent years, and Bai Xiao will do his best to prepare for the exam in the next two days, learn an unheard of power called the Demon Dao, and then stand out among tens of thousands of candidates and get only more than 100 admission notices from Hongshan Academy.

The difficulty is just right.

——

At the same time, in the grandmaster suite opposite Bai Xiao, Lu Xun was holding a teacup in his hand, his eyes shining through the clear, slightly golden tea, as if he had seen the distant future.

Beside him, a tall blue-shirted young man asked, "Master Lu, do you need me to inform Zheng Yu?" He still has a relatively wide face, maybe he can ...... it."

"What can it be?" Lu Xun interrupted the other party, "What do you want to do?"

Qi Wei said: "I want to find out the details of Bai Xiao, no matter how I think about it, this matter is too abnormal, even if he is indeed from the desperate situation of the Snow Mountain, and he and Miss Qingyue were boyfriend and girlfriend, but at this time, he suddenly appeared in Hongshan City, I still feel that there is a story behind it, maybe it ......."

Lu Xun smiled: "Maybe it has something to do with Narcissus Hall, isn't it?"

Qi Wei said: "It's not impossible, the tentacles of the Narcissus Hall are all over the Eastern and Western Continents, and this kind of wild man who suddenly comes out of the desperate situation outside the horizon is likely to alarm the Narcissus Hall, and then the two collude ......"

Before she finished speaking, the girl next to her couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you don't want to peddle your conspiracy theories anymore, everything involves Narcissus Hall, just say that you can't get used to him?"

Qi Wei frowned and said: "Sun Wen, I just raised a reasonable suspicion, even if it is not the Narcissus Hall, it may be some other person or organization, in short, a tribe that has been isolated from the territory of civilization for thousands of years, how could it suddenly appear in the hinterland of Great Qin......? Of course, I don't shy away from saying that I really can't get used to him, are you used to it?"

"Of course, I can't get used to it, and I actually tried in vain to get involved with the girl that Lu Gongzi fancied......" Sun Wen covered her mouth and smiled.

Lu Xun also sneered: "What you said, what is a vain attempt to get involved, people are originally boyfriend and girlfriend, and the person who vainly tries to get involved is the right one, and in the end I forcibly intervened, but I gained a lot of girls' eyes." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little awkward, and Sun Wen said tentatively: "Master Lu, do you want to ......?"

"I just want you to sort out the basic facts, and not with an inexplicable sense of moral superiority, we are not in a position of superiority in this matter. ”

The girl was confused: "What superiority?"

Qi Wei understood: "It means that what we have to do next is not so above board, and it is best to prepare mentally in advance." ”

"Huh?" Sun Wen still didn't understand.

Qi Wei smiled: "To put it simply, Lu Gongzi is still ready to make a move." ”

Lu Xun said: "Of course I have to make a move, such a woman, if she misses it, it will be a lifetime, not to mention that she has lost her previous memories, and her relationship with Bai Xiao has long been interrupted, even if they are still in love, I will also make a move, this is not only my business, but also a major matter related to the interests of the Lu family, even the old man has asked, heh, you can't ignore it." ”

Sun Wen asked, "Then what are we going to do?

"How to rush?" Lu Xun asked rhetorically, "Frame me or force me to expel him?"

Sun Wen suddenly realized that this seemed to be a bad idea.

Qi Wei explained: "Framing and the like are all conspiracy, and they are only useful when they are not as good as others, but now that Lu Gongzi has won a fair opportunity for himself, there is no need to use those subordinate means." ”

Sun Wen then remembered that when they were in the VIP lounge before, Lu Xun, Qingyue and Bai Xiao had made a bet. As long as Lu Xun can get the position of chief, Qingyue will associate with him, and on the other side, Bai Xiao must at least ensure the top two. However, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Lu Xun is stalking to the death, and it really has nothing to do with fair competition......

Lu Xun said: "Qi Wei is thinking too much again, of course there is no competition at all. With Qingyue's talent, unless the water is deliberately released, the grade chief is simply in the bag, and the conditions I put forward cannot be established at all...... But in that situation, what else could I do? Let them fall in love for life? I can only stalk and fight for a while, but fortunately, those two people are also too arrogant, and treat me as a spice for the love period. But it doesn't matter, even the dispenser is stronger than the outsider. ”

After a pause, Lu Xun said again: "In fact, don't think too much about Bai Xiao's advantages, in the final analysis, Qingyue doesn't remember him, even the so-called life-saving grace can only be confirmed by the lettering on the bones, she has no emotional cognition of her previous love, so she will say that she regrets not falling in love with Bai Xiao." Bai Xiao's real advantage is only today's wonderful love words, and I have a long way to go. ”

Qi Wei concluded: "To put it simply, they only have the past and the present, but Lu Gongzi has the future. ”

Lu Xun shook his head: "The word "possession" is used heavily, and what will happen after that is still unknown, so from now on, I will do my best, and in this entrance exam, I will try to compete with Qingyue for the first place." ”

"Fight for the first?" Sun Wen was a little surprised, Lu Xun had just said that Qingyue's talent was better than him, and there was no suspense about the head of the grade......

"That refers to the test at the end of the school year, Qingyue's talent is incomparable, but the time for her to really start contacting the Demon Dao is still too short, at least at this node, with the examination mechanism of Hongshan Academy, I still have a chance, and if you really want to talk about the long-term future, it is even more ......" Saying, Lu Xun waved his hand: "Okay, next I want to bathe in magic energy, you also go back and work hard to prepare for the exam, this exam is unprecedentedly difficult, don't be careless." ”

——

Leaving the Grandmaster Suite, Qi Wei and Sun Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As vassals of the Lu family, they were destined to serve Lu Xun for the rest of their lives almost from the moment they were born, and this young master of the Lu family has a gentle and elegant personality, and he has always been friends with the two, and has never been difficult or harsh...... But the more this is the case, the more pressure there is in front of him.

Because as the descendant of the overlord of the Western Continent, it is almost destined to be impossible to be gentle and elegant, and what flows in the veins of the Lu family is the blazing domineering blood, from the first generation of the overlord Lu Hao to the current Lu family's head Lu Bieli, the killing is decisive and thrilling, so Lu Xun's gentleness is more like the tranquility before the storm.

After Sun Wen walked out of the room, she pulled her shoulders down and said, "Then let's go back to prepare for the exam first?"

Qi Wei said, "You go back first, I'll go find Zheng Yu." ”

"Didn't Gongzi Lu say don't use those means?"

"He can say that, we can't do nothing as subordinates, and I still think that the person surnamed Bai has too many suspicions, at least we have to explore the details, this kind of thing is inconvenient for us to come forward, and it is most appropriate to find Zheng Yu. ”

——

In the tea room on the first floor of Xinhu Restaurant, Qi Wei drank tea cup after cup with some impatience, his fingers kept tapping on the armrest of the seat, until his patience gradually wore out to the limit, and the curtain of the tea room was opened, revealing the face of a smiling fat boy.

"Qi Shao, I'm sorry to wait for you for a long time, I got your news and rushed here immediately, but I was outside the city before, so I ......"

"No need to talk nonsense, time is limited, I'll make a long story short, you should know this person, right?"

Qi Wei said, stretched out his hand on the tea table, and suddenly a vivid portrait painting appeared on the table.

The fat boy was happy when he saw it: "That wild man from the snow mountain? This can be regarded as a famous name, and after half a day's work, even I, a person outside the city, have heard of it, and it is said that he claims to be the ex-boyfriend of Princess Qingyue?

"I called you here to find out where he came from...... Although Qingyue endorsed him, there were still too many doubts on him, and he couldn't wash them clean. ”

Zheng Yu still couldn't stop laughing: "This is what Lu Shao meant?"

"That's what I meant. ”

"That's okay, Qi Shao, just wait for my news. ”

——

In the middle of the night, a tavern in the southern city of Hongshan is still bustling with people.

The southern part of the city has always been a mixed city, a gathering place for low-income groups and out-of-town vagrants, and it is even more crowded during the academy exam period, so that this pub, which has always been crowded, has become noisy.

Zheng Yu, who was obese, struggled to separate the crowd, sweating profusely, walked to a small table in the corner and sat down, his heavy body weighing down the wooden chair and groaning.

In front of Zheng Yu, a glass of cool water and wine appeared like magic, and then a thin figure wriggled out of the shadows.

"Zheng Shao, looking for me late at night, what are you doing?"

Zheng Yu was not polite, took the wine glass and drank it all, then wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Help me check someone, it's the barbarian from the snow mountain." ”

"Oh, Bai Xiao, that's today's man of the hour, I didn't expect to offend Zheng Shao in just half a day?" The thin figure also climbed into the seat at this time, and under the shabby cloak, two slender eyes reflected the candlelight in the tavern.

Zheng Yu said: "Don't talk nonsense, what can he offend me?" So be careful, you snake. ”

The thin man known as the head snake was slightly stunned: "Above, do you mean Qi Shao?"

Zheng Yu said: "That's right, the young master of the Qi family personally ordered it, so if you don't do it properly, I can't escape it, but the most unlucky thing is you." ”

"Don't worry, we snakes and rats know how to do it, and we will definitely do our best. However, Qi Shao thinks how can we check?"

Zheng Yu said: "Qi Shao didn't elaborate, but how to check an outsider, you should be the most proficient, you don't need me to teach, right?"

"Haha, Zheng Shao is right, this is also our housekeeping ability, don't worry, within two days, as long as he leaves Xinhu Restaurant, I will be able to check his bottom clearly. ”

"Okay, that's what I want you to say. Zheng Yu nodded, and left the tavern while wiping his sweat. The skinny snake sneered at a jade stone left by the fat man on the table.

——

After a while, at the end of the narrow alley outside the tavern, a thin man in a cloak lightly tapped the green brick beside him, and suddenly several people of different heights, shortness, fat and thin gathered together.

"Master Snake, is there something important to gather everyone so late?"

The cloaked man known as the snake master sneered and threw the jade in his hand into the air, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I'm here to work, Zheng Shao personally looked for me, and I still passed on Qi Shao's words. ”

In a word, these snakes and rats gathered in Nancheng became serious, and no one complained about any problems sooner or later.

For these low-level gang members, the Zheng family, which has a number of hundred-year-old names in the city, can already be called heavenly figures, with hundreds of millions of family assets, and often demonic Taoists are born, and they are out-and-out snakes in Hongshan City.

And them, the snake who could die violently by the gutter at any time, is not a concept at all.

And the young master of the Qi family who entrusted Zheng Yu to pass the word is even more amazing, he also settled in Hongshan City, but the Qi family's manor can occupy a place outside the Baishan Tower in Beicheng, the family power radiates hundreds of miles around, and there are industries in Baiye City and Dongli City, it is an out-and-out top family, and the gang members in Nancheng are not even worthy of looking up at the backs of others.

The snake master said again: "This is scared? Wake up your mind, how can this matter be just a matter of the Qi family, the wild man from the snow mountain has been in the city for half a day, who is most affected? Of course, it is the Lu family." That eldest prince has long been determined to win Princess Qingyue, and now his sweetheart suddenly has an extra ex-boyfriend, can you bear it?"

When it came to the Lu family, everyone was even more silent.

It was a bloodline family that led the army to defeat the Sage Dynasty of the Eastern Continent 1,800 years ago and brought the overlord of the continent independence, and then ruled for 400 years.

If the Qi family is high on the top of the mountain, the Lu family is already above the clouds.

One person asked, "Could it be that we have a relationship with the Lu family this time?"

The snake master sneered: "Thinking about your beauty, what kind of character is the Lu family, who will have a relationship with you and me? Even the Zheng family, he may not be able to look at each other squarely, so I also deliberately tested Zheng Shao this time, and the job is indeed what Qi Shao meant." ”

"That ......" The people below were suddenly confused.

"But Qi Shao has this meaning, but it is because of the Lu family, otherwise he is a person who has been engaged early, is it necessary to fight for a woman? So when we do things, we must understand that it is the Zheng family's money and the will of the Qi family, but the final result is to fall on the Lu family. ”

"What's the difference?"

"A bunch of idiots...... "Lord Snake couldn't help frowning and shaking his head, "The difference is that if we do our duty, we can only get the Zheng family's money, in the eyes of the Qi family, we are dust and garbage, and the Lu family can't see us at all." But if we are a little braver, maybe we will have a chance to fight for a lot of money...... Zheng Shao's hand is indeed generous, this deposit is worth tens of thousands of silver dollars, but if the Lu family can see us and use us, what is the value of tens of thousands of silver dollars? I heard...... Although it is just a rumor, a few decades ago, the upper snake master in Nancheng was favored by a big man because of a bold move, and he has soared to the sky ever since. Hehe, maybe it's also the longest-lived snake master in our Nancheng for hundreds of years. ”

Hearing the leader's depiction, the hearts of the snakes and rats suddenly surged.

For these people, the gold and silver rewarded by the big people are good things, but no matter how good things are, they must have a life flower, and the bottom gangs advocate timely fun, because if they are not timely, there will be no chance.

If you can get out of this sea of suffering, it will be an opportunity that you can't dream of.

"So, boss, what are we going to do?"

The snake master said: "Zheng Shao's meaning is to let us check the details of that person, this kind of work is not a small amount, secretly observe him for a few days, summarize his words and deeds, and steal one or two personal devices to use." But to be honest, what is there to check the details of this kind of person? If he is a fake identity, it doesn't matter, let's work hard and find out his true identity, then everyone will be happy, maybe the young master of the Qi family has a separate reward, but the question is, what if the rumors are true?"

"Master Snake, you mean, he's from the Snow Mountain?"

"Unlikely, isn't it? There are really humans in that damn place? I heard that even wild animals don't dare to approach, it's a dead place comparable to a maelstrom......"

The snake master waved his hand: "Let's not talk about these useless things first, the fact is that people in Xinhu Restaurant claim to be from the snow mountain in front of everyone, and then Miss Qingyue herself and the young master of the Lu family also recognized it." It's good that we can overturn this conclusion, but if we can't, how can we find out the details of this person?

The snake master said a joke, but of course the people below didn't dare to laugh, otherwise he would be sent to the snow mountain with a word, it would be a dead end.

"So, what are we going to do?"

The snake master sneered and said: "The truth I just said, don't those nobles know that they are from the snow mountain? ”

"So what to do?"

Regarding the low-level questions of his subordinates, the snake master said coldly: "Find a chance and do him." ”

"Huh!?"

After a commotion, someone tried to retort, "Isn't that good? He's more or less a celebrity now, if he was killed like that...... Are the big guys really going to be happy about it?"

Someone else chimed in: "I heard that the young master of the Lu family is openly and honestly challenged, if the person surnamed Bai dies like this, will it annoy him instead?"

The snake master sneered: "Of course it will, the nobles have the best face to do things, if the wild man dies unclearly, once people talk about it, the eldest young masters will naturally lose face, anger is inevitable, if it is known by Miss Qingyue, the consequences will be even more serious, so I said that if I did him, I didn't want to kill people and sell goods, and he had no grievances with us, why bother to make you die?"

The subordinates listened more and more confused: "Then what should I do?"

"Put yourself in the shoes of the big guys. The snake master patted the shoulder of this unlucky subordinate, "If you were the young master of the Lu family, what would you want that wild man to come to rob the woman?"

The stout man who was asked looked dazed and didn't know how to answer. A girl next to her was thoughtful: "Of course I want him to die in my heart, but if he dies, it is inevitable that there will be rumors and rumors that implicate me, and in the final analysis, I don't have a common enmity with a snowy mountain savage, so it's best to let him lose face and get out of Hongshan City...... So, Lord Snake, do you mean, let's design to frame him and force him to leave?"

The snake master finally smiled seriously: "That's right! Otherwise, those children of the family have a way to investigate a person's details, and the methods of the demon Taoist priests are innumerable, so why use us ninth-rate characters? In the final analysis, in the eyes of the big guys, we are just a piece of shit, as long as we stick the shit to the enemy, it will be done. So next, we have to do everything possible to entangle that Bai Xiao, and if we are entangled for a long time, the details of that person will naturally be exposed. ”

"However, he lives in Xinhu Restaurant now, if he doesn't come out, how are we going to do it?"

The snake master smiled: "Don't worry, he will definitely come out, and he will definitely come to Nancheng." ”
