Chapter VIII Cooperation

He Mufeng, who was in a nervous mood, led Du Xiaoxiao to follow behind the thin man.

I couldn't stop scolding Zou Yan in my heart, it didn't take a while, why did I sue the dean?

There is no way, if he is really kicked out of the academy by Zou Yan using his power relationship, then he will regret it.

After holding it for a long time, he finally stepped forward cautiously to talk to the weak middle-aged man.

"Uh.... This teacher, what do you call it, I don't know if the dean has anything important to do with me, I'm ready to prepare. ”

The man stopped, turned his head to look at He Mufeng with a sneer, looked at his unnatural smile, and laughed softly: "I am Dean Wang's attendant, just call me Zhang Hedong, the dean doesn't just call you, He Xiaoxiao is also with you, and there are some people who will meet you later, don't be nervous." ”

He Mufeng heard that it was not only himself who shouted, his heart was relieved, and he couldn't stop nodding and asking Zhang Hedong to lead the way.

"Hahaha, look at the smirk on your face, you're really not fit to do this kind of thing. ”

Pei Wen couldn't stop teasing He Mufeng's unnatural performance just now.

"You know a fart, a big husband can bend and stretch, I don't want to be messed out of the game by a related household halfway. ”

In this way, he made his way to the tower in the center of the academy.

This tower is not very high, it is only six or seven floors, and it looks grand, almost like a ring-shaped sect hall.

"Go up on your own, at the top, I'll have to inform the others. ”

led He Mufeng and the others to the gate, and Zhang Hedong, who had not been notified by others, asked the two to go up by themselves.

After nodding his head, He Mufeng, who entered the door, saw the true face inside.

It turns out that the building of this form of a tall tower is actually a place similar to Yuanjing Village, but it is placed and "covered" on it.

The middle leads straight to the zenith, the rooms and houses are on both sides, there are many teachers who come and go, walking like the wind, all holding some paper materials, looking like a library of He Mufeng's original world.

After asking for directions, He Mufeng took Du Xiaoxiao all the way up the stairs and stopped in front of a mahogany gate on the top floor.

I was about to knock on the door, but a deep voice came from inside.

"Come in. ”

It seems that the dean already knew about the arrival of the two, and He Mufeng simply pushed the door and came to the room in a few steps.

A kind old man was lying in front of the window behind the desk at this time, and he didn't look back, just carefully took care of a pot of flowers and plants on the windowsill.

He Mufeng didn't say anything when he saw the dean, he kept pruning the pot of flowers and plants, and he didn't dare to say much, so he had to stand quietly and quietly look at the decorations in the house.

This room is not big, but it is full of all kinds of things, including wood, books, and spirit stones. It was casually discarded and placed in a corner of the room, and the furnishings were still simple, with a few chairs, a desk, and a few portraits on the wall.

As for Du Xiaoxiao, seeing that neither of them spoke, he stood there and played with his clothes.

After half a cup of tea, He Mufeng was almost finished counting the things in the room, and Dean Wang was finally willing to turn his head.

"Wait a long time, sit down, don't be restrained. After cutting the potted plant, the dean wiped it casually on the coarse black cloth on his body before speaking.

He Mufeng looked at the chair that had been covered with ashes, and he really couldn't get off his hips, so he had to shake his head.

"It's okay, I wonder if the dean is looking for us?"

He Mufeng was still a little afraid, if he was really driven away, wouldn't it be a big loss, and asked carefully.

Seeing that the two of them were not sitting, the dean didn't care, brushed off his white beard, straightened his body, looked at He Mufeng and said with a smile: "Chaoxia Peak He Mufeng is right, the only son of a real person who left the plane, and actually came to my little academy." ”

This sentence almost scared He Mufeng on the other side into a cold sweat.

How does this old man know his name?

Could it be that Hou Ning said it? No wonder this old man seems to have seen it somewhere, it must be from the group of people that Hou Ning brought in last time.

Thinking of this, He Mufeng has already begun to secretly operate his spiritual power, if this dean is really with Hou Ning, then He Mufeng Academy can't stay still, and maybe he will lose his life here.

This is running his brain at high speed, but the old man over there said a sentence to dispel his thoughts.

"Your father was kind to me, and I went to congratulate me on the full moon wine at that time, but... ”

said that in the end, he was also stunned: "It's just that this farewell is eighteen years." ”

Hearing this, He Mufeng's mind suddenly brightened.

It turned out that it was not because of Hou Ning, no wonder there was such a little image, but it couldn't be said.

It turned out to be related to his father, so now I can rest assured.

He Mufeng, who breathed a sigh of relief, also nodded again and again to alleviate the embarrassment just now.

"Yes, yes, I also see that the old man is familiar with you, no wonder. ”

This was about to say something, but Pei Wen's chuckle in his heart interrupted He Mufeng's train of thought, and he could only sigh in the end.

But the old dean opened his mouth and asked the reason: "You are not stupid Chaoxia Peak, what are you doing here with me, your father's ability in Chaoxia Peak is much better than mine." ”

He Mufeng heard the reason, and his heart was also sad, but he still truthfully told the dean about the disappearance of his father He Daoren and Hou Ning's post-mountain incident.

————

"There are such rebellious thieves?!"

After listening to He Mufeng's account, Dean Wang initially regretted He Daoren's departure, but when he heard Hou Ning's behavior, he scolded bitterly, and it seemed that he did feel disdain for Hou Ning for such behavior.

"Then it seems that you can come to me, which is also a mistake, but this Chaoxia Peak is already in the hands of Hou Ning, and it will be difficult for you to go back. ”

He Mufeng also knew that just talking about Hou Ning's cultivation, it was the name of Chaoxia Peak, and if he went back to fight hard, it would definitely set off a lot of waves in the cultivation realm. The name of the ten sects, this cake is really a bit big.

The dean also explained that He Daoren was missing, He Mufeng was driven out of Chaoxia Peak, if he went back to fight, it would definitely cause changes in the pattern of the ten sects, which involved too much, even if he went to the dean of the Eight Letters Academy, it would be useless.

simply diverted the topic and talked about the current problem: "I see that your exercise is strange, looking at your breath, it is turbid and unknown, at most it is the realm of refining qi, why can you just burst out of the cultivation realm of Jindan." ”

This question is to ask He Mufeng, this cultivation method is his little secret, and he can't talk about it everywhere. And if you say it, no one will necessarily believe it.

In the end, he could only say haha: "My spiritual root is also in the Qi refining period, and I just used a secret method just now." ”

He didn't say that he had walked out of a path that ordinary people had never had, and it also involved the matter of taking away the luck of the spiritual vein. That's not to be said.

"Indeed, you're.... Spiritual roots. As for this Du Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen it, is it your father's new apprentice?" Dean Wang didn't dwell on He Mufeng's spiritual root for too long, and talked about Du Xiaoxiao.

This Du Xiaoxiao is an absolute object of attention everywhere, the five-grade spiritual root, and anyone will yearn for it.

Dean Wang is no exception, and his eyes are shining when he sees a piece of beautiful jade.

This Du Xiaoxiao was originally on the mountain, and He Mufeng's father and son didn't treat her specially, but after going down the mountain, they were looked at by all kinds of strange eyes, and now they are a little resistant.

It's just that the slow-burning personality is still like that, and in the end, He Mufeng replied again: "Xiaoxiao is a girl rescued by my father a few years ago, and she who lives with me in the mountains is almost my father's apprentice." ”

He Mufeng didn't say that Du Xiaoxiao was actually born on the twelfth layer, and he didn't practice at all on the mountain, so he deceived others to have a master like He Daoren, at least after that, Du Xiaoxiao's seniors could weigh their own skills.

Alas, it is really happy and sad to have such a unique father in the world.

sighed here, but the door behind him rang.

"Dean, everyone is here. Listening to this voice, it seems to be Zhang Hedong who brought He Mufeng here.

"Come in. ”

After patting He Mufeng, Dean Wang turned his head and sat on the chair behind the desk and spoke.

As the door opened, three people came in one after another, and there was another one He Mufeng knew here.

Zeng Jie!

He didn't recognize the other two, and the second one was a man, wearing a dark night blue cup pattern green shirt, a dark red belt tied around his waist, long flowing hair, clear eyebrows, and a mountain and river fan in his hand, which was really graceful.

He Mufeng didn't know him, but Du Xiaoxiao, who was next to him, smiled at the handsome man, and said softly: "Zheng Gongzi, hello." ”

The man surnamed Zheng also entered the house and saw Du Xiaoxiao, first saluted the dean, and then greeted Du Xiaoxiao when he retreated: "I also guessed that the little girl is also there, and it is this.... It must be the little girl's brother Mu Feng who mentioned it for a long time. ”

He Mufeng saw that a shy girl like Du Xiaoxiao could greet a man, and the relationship was definitely not bad, seeing his temperament.

If it was really dignified, there was an inexplicable anger in his heart, and he asked in a rough voice: "Who are you?"

"In Xia Zheng Sinan, Brother Mu is polite, today I saw Brother Mu's sassy and heroic appearance in the ring, I didn't expect to know him so soon. ”

"Uh-huh. He replied very perfunctorily.

He Mufeng couldn't stop slandering in his heart.

Where did the weirdo come from, how did he talk in a crepe.

"Others call this educated, which is like you, standing without standing, sitting without sitting. Pei Wen also said out of place.

"It's just idle panic, and it's all day long. ”

"Hahaha, I think you're jealous, why don't you allow others to be more handsome than you?" This Pei Wen really mocked He Mufeng and spared no effort.

He Mufeng, who was angry, could only quietly hammer the spirit sword.

And the last one to come in was also a handsome man, but he was not as beautiful as Zheng Sinan, dressed in a black suit, which gave people a feminine energy.

After coming in, like Zheng Sinan, he saluted everyone one by one, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he crossed Zheng Sinan.

"Looking north under Chen. ”

In a short sentence, it really pleases He Mufeng, but in fact, the most important thing is that He Mufeng can see that this Chen Beiwang seems to be at odds with this surnamed Zheng.

That has to be good.

"What, aren't there any people?" Dean Wang, who was sitting in a chair at this time, spoke, and asked Zhang Hedong who was standing at the door with a wrinkle.

"This... Qin Hao said that he wanted to retreat... So, why don't I go and scream again?" Zhang Hedong lowered his head, it seemed that he had been deflated by this person.

"Forget it, it's just a trivial matter, no need, they will encounter it when the time comes, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it at that time. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the five young people in front of him, and sighed a little in his heart: "Okay, I called the five of you here today because I have something to tell you." ”

When several people saw that Dean Wang was about to get down to business, they all listened carefully.

"This matter is related to the selection of the inner court, and it is not hidden, in recent years, there have been some problems in the inner court and the southern country, resulting in a shortage of talents in the inner court.

In addition, the flag-pulling competition of each academy is about to start, so this year's inner courtyard quota will be expanded, but the competition system has changed a little. ”

Everyone was stunned, to say that this inner courtyard should be regarded as the backbone of the Eight Seal Academy, in the past few years, a small number of outstanding talents were selected, why did it suddenly expand this year?

He Mufeng, who is ignorant of the world, must not have figured it out, but Zheng Sinan on the side suddenly had a sudden feeling.

"Royalty, isn't it the front line..."

"Well, there is no way around these things. It's just a few of you. You'll have to work hard. Seeing that Zheng Sinan already knew, the dean didn't want him to say more, so he interrupted.

"This year's inner court selection is different from the previous rings, this time there is only one brawl, a brawl with no difference and restrictions, so ....."

The dean paused, looked at the few people in front of him, Zheng Sinan, who had the most brilliant brain among the several people, also understood, and continued to nod and said, "The dean wants us to cooperate? ”

Dean Wang laughed: "This is actually my suggestion to you, after all, under the rules of this game, there will be a lot of students in a group, I am worried that you are all arrogant, so you will be very passive when you act alone, and you are all valuable talents in our college."

I wonder what you guys think?"

"I don't have a problem with that, so the risk is minimized. ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Sinan agreed without hesitation.

Most of them are meeting for the first time, and if you want to talk about trust, I'm afraid it's not as good as a stranger.

After all, they are the most powerful contenders for admission to the inner court.

Zheng Sinan agreed without thinking about it, which made several other people entangled.

After another half a moment, Chen Beiwang, who looked at the disagreement with Zheng Sinan, also nodded and said yes.

Then there is Zeng Jie, who also said that temporary cooperation is the safest way after the reform of the competition system.

This time it was difficult for He Mufeng, he also had this heart for this cooperation, but he didn't have any confidence in Zeng Jie, and he said that he was looking for himself.

It is impossible for him to let go of this kind of opportunity, but considering that Du Xiaoxiao is basically tied to himself, if he doesn't agree, it will also make Du Xiaoxiao fall into isolation.

After struggling for a long time, when several people began to look at themselves suspiciously, He Mufeng still opened his mouth to speak.

It's okay to cooperate, but if one of them really has any ideas, he wants the other people to give priority to the person who has the problem.

This is also a constraint on everyone, as long as there is no thought, it is only a matter of time before those few people join hands and enter the inner courtyard safely.

Everyone agreed.

In this way, after saying this, the dean did not have anything more to say, and then several people returned to their residences, waiting for the arrival of Dabi who was admitted to the hospital.

"It seems that the competition system will be more intense this time, otherwise this dean wouldn't want a few of us to join forces to prevent being kicked out. ”

He Mufeng said to Pei Wen that there was another reason why he didn't want to agree, he had to go into the library to see what could be a ban on Pei Wen, which would inevitably cause him to enter as the top four in the end.

This is already in a group with the other four people, so I can't say, I want to make a move in the end.
