At dawn, when the rooster crowed, Zhuge Chen was woken up by Du Chunqiu. He was still squinting, not waking up. Because of his thirst, he grabbed a glass of water from the table next to the bed and poured it directly into his face.

Du Chunqiu suppressed the anger in his heart, and at the same time wiped the water clean for Zhuge Chen with Gina, and then set up his white clothes with Wang Daxue and was about to walk towards the outside of the mansion. She stopped the three of them and said, "Zhuge Chen's current state is really too bad, it's really not good, let's quit this battle between the four courts!"

"Brother and sister, if it's just an ordinary academy disciple, I don't need you to say it, I will help him intercede with the master. But now that the master has made a bet with the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy in order to be able to save the junior brother, if the junior brother does not go, he will face a pseudo-holy sword cultivator who no longer has any concerns, and neither you nor I can bear such consequences. Du Chunqiu opened his mouth to explain: "All we can do is believe in him." ”

And Wang Daxue also interjected: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have known Brother Chen for so long, and I haven't encountered any thrilling times, but I can get out alive every time." This time, it will certainly be no exception. ”

"Well, let me come with you!" Gina still wouldn't give up, but the three of them had already walked out the gate towards the central plaza. Zhuge Chen had already told Gina before that she couldn't participate in this battle between the four courts no matter what. It's okay to look at it from a distance, but if you get caught up in it because you're worried about yourself, it's a big problem, and it's very likely that it will involve life and death.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Gina sighed and slowly walked back into the house. Her eyes fell on an evergreen willow tree outside the window, and she silently prayed for Zhuge Chen in her heart: "I beg the god of the desert, don't let Zhuge Chen make any mistakes." ”

......

It wasn't until the three of them arrived at the central square that Zhuge Chen finally woke up completely, and this was because it was close to noon and it was time to get up to eat.

Du Chunqiu punched Bai Yi in the chest, forcing him to open his eyes that were about to be closed again, and then said: "Senior brother, if you are still in this state after the battle between the four courts really unfolds, you can simply commit suicide." After all, if he falls into the hands of the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, he will definitely endure all kinds of torture. ”

Zhuge Chen rubbed his face, yawned, and said softly: "I know, I won't be as sleepy as I am now." ”

Although they were still not at ease, more and more people had already entered the four major academies, so Du Chunqiu and Wang Daxue still chose to withdraw from this place and stand on the periphery to watch.

Zhuge Chen drooped his head, and followed behind these disciples of the same courtyard, whether familiar or unfamiliar, with all his energy, and kept reaching out to put his hand on his mouth to hide the yawn. And behind him, a person quietly walked out, greeted him with a smile: "Meet again, if I remember correctly, you should be that Zhuge Chen, right?

Zhuge Chen turned his head, looked at this academy disciple he didn't know, and asked, "...... are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Liu Yunlei, and I am fifth on the ranking of our academy. The man said with a smile, and put an arm on Zhuge Chen's shoulder very familiarly: "Why didn't you rest well last night, looking so tired." ”

Zhuge Chen waved his hand, looked around, and then asked: "Why are there so few people in the dispute between the four courts, I just took a closer look, I'm afraid there are not even twenty." ”

"The battle between the four academies is like this, the competition seems to be the killing power between the disciples, but it is actually the foundation of their respective academies. And the place embodied in the word heritage is never in the number, but in the quality. Therefore, it is only necessary to send ten disciples from each academy to come, and it will be too cumbersome to compete or win at that time. At that moment, a man approached the two of them and spoke. The man was dressed in a tattered gray shirt and carried a bamboo box on his back to hold books. Although his appearance is not good, the divine meaning in his eyes should not be underestimated, this person is the nameless and nameless down-and-out scholar that Zhuge Chen met at the beginning, and he is also the second on the list of Kuhai Academy. In Du Chunqiu's eyes, the leader of the throne is not as good as him. It's just that the down-and-out scholar is deeply hidden and has no sense of victory, so there is still no battle between the two until now: "The form of each battle between the four academies is different, sometimes it is a scuffle, and whoever can stand out in the end is the winner." It's just that it's too bloody, and the competition is not a matter of life and death, so it's slowly abandoned. Actually, I really want to know how this battle between the four houses will be started this time, but before that, it is fate that the three of us can meet, so why don't we form an alliance first? At least we have a look for each other, how about it?"

Liu Yunlei smiled after hearing this, and immediately said: "It's better to forget it, after all, I have already agreed to stand with Pang Qingling and them first." It's not the case now, so I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter. The down-and-out scholar retracted his hand into his tattered sleeve, and then stared at Zhuge Chen, as if trying to guess his answer.

But at this moment, Bai Yi couldn't listen to anything, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, except for remembering that he was now in the central square of the city, and he only wanted to go back to the house and fall asleep. In the midst of the ghost's divine envoy, Bai Yi nodded. The down-and-out scholar said with a smile: "In this way, within our Kuhai Academy, there will be three forces. They are the lone Chao, and the two-person alliance between me and Zhuge Chen, and the biggest force after the rest of the people join forces. If you don't have to, you will definitely not make a move on your peers. You can rest assured that you can convey my thoughts to Pang Qingling when the time comes. As for Chao, he has always been so confident, and it is simply impossible to win him over, so there is no need to count him. ”

The down-and-out scholar pinched his hand, as if he was constantly deducing, and then he narrowed his eyes and said cautiously: "Why can't you spy on it at all? Could it be that behind the dispute between the four courts, there is still this hidden secret?"

For some reason, Zhuge Chen, who had one more ally, was a little confused, but he also knew that it was definitely not as easy as the two of them to be alone, so he didn't refuse. But he still kindly reminded the down-and-out scholar: "Scholar, you shouldn't know about my grudge against the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, right? It's okay, I'll tell you now." The Master of the Courtyard has made a bet for me and the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and as long as he does not make a move in this battle between the Four Courtyards, he can use any means to kill me. When the time comes, if he really makes a move, you can just escape. There is a courtyard master staring, he doesn't dare to make a move on you. ”

The down-and-out scholar smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I remember what you said, and it will be the case when the time comes." ”

I don't see how Zhuge Chen is angry because of this sentence, after all, this is already a very normal phenomenon in human relations. It's no surprise that he's seen a lot. It's just that when he turned his head and his eyes fell on a Confucian scholar, he actually had a feeling of sleepiness subsided. He narrowed his eyes and met the Confucian student's eyes, only to feel that there was nothing but greed in the other person's eyes.

......

In the corner that most people didn't notice, the Confucian student from Fuxiang Academy walked step by step. At this moment, his realm had grown by leaps and bounds compared to a few days ago, not only had he salvaged the magic arts, but he was also only a thin line away from the realm of the True Dao. He was now extremely sure that he would be able to become the ruler of the world by the Holy Spirit in his body, but he had forgotten all the evils that the three vicious dogs had told him. He just wanted to climb to the top with unparalleled momentum in this battle between the four courts, so that these cultivators could know who was the dominant person in this era.

And at this time, he was also very strange why the white clothes noticed him, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, and Confucius said with his lips: "You are dead, and those two swords must be mine!"
