Chapter 12: Sleepless on the Couch (4) Betting

Xia Qian stood up and patted his buttocks, and asked the name of the person who kicked him lightly. The orange disciple looked at him out of the corner of his eye, his eyes turned away, and he replied impatiently: "Xia Shi." ”

Then, Xia Qian left the Heavenly Book Pavilion. As soon as he stepped out of the back door, Xia Zhen's teaching began to continue.

He was puzzled, but no one could understand him. A few classmates who happened to be walking in front of him came out with him for a while, and he wanted to ask the reason. The strange thing was that as soon as those green belt disciples saw him, it was as if they had seen a plague, and Xia Gan's hand hanging in the air was dodged before he could put it on their shoulders, and he still muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about. But the taboo and indifferent eyes clearly expressed the attitude of refusal.

Xia Qian remembered the scene in the dining hall yesterday, and the reason was probably on that Xia Yu. His actions yesterday have already made people classify him and Xia Yu into the same party, and these people naturally don't want to approach him.

"Huh~ I was isolated as soon as I went to school. Xia Qian sighed, but he didn't see much loss, and walked away with his head in his hands.

He was idle, and went back to find the suitable long rope. searched all the way, and unintentionally came to the Heavenly Array Palace.

The situation of the Heavenly Array Hall is no different from that of the Heavenly Book Pavilion. When Xia Qian arrived, it happened to be the fifth drum beating. He hid on the beams of the room and watched a group of disciples walk out of the hall, and the orange headband that tied his hair was particularly eye-catching. He suddenly realized a little in his heart, jumped off the roof, and found Xia Lin with a red hairband at a glance. He hid not far away with a quiet breath and waited until the end of the lecture.

Xia Qian followed Xia Lin all the way back to the dormitory, and Xia Lin handed out one of the two cups of tea that had been poured without surprise. "Have a cup of tea. ”

Xia Qian appeared from the shadows, took the teacup in his hand, didn't drink it, and put it down directly.

"Why are you here?" asked Xia Lin.

Xia Qian smiled, turned around and sat in front of him, stirring the tassels on the table carpet. "It's nothing, I miss you. ”

Xia Lin glanced at him, "I see that you have no one to serve you tea and pour water, it's uncomfortable." ”

Although he spoke coldly, to Xia Qian's ears, he was much warmer than those who kept silent.

"I think it's weird here. He said suddenly.

Xia Lin responded: "It's indeed more cruel here than outside, and if you don't have enough strength, you can't survive here." ”

Xia Qian propped his chin, "What do you say?" ”

Xia Lin tugged at the green headband he wrapped around his wrist and explained, "Here, the color of the headband determines your level. Take the neon seven colors as an example, red is the first, and purple is the last. The first order overpowers the first order, and under no circumstances can the lower order resist the upper order. ”

Xia Qian hurriedly said: "Is it the same for class? The lower the level, the shorter the time!"

Xia Lin nodded. "There is also the practice time in the cultivation ground and the self-study time in the Wanjian Building, which will be limited by class. ”

Xia Qian verified the conjecture in his heart, and only felt that this regulation was really ridiculous. "Isn't that the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker. ”

Xia Lin replied: "Cultivation requires talent, and this method can indeed screen out talented people. And people who are not talented, no matter how hard they try, it is in vain. ”

Xia Qian disagreed: "What can be seen just by an entrance exam, maybe someone will open up late and accumulate a lot." ”

Xia Lin replied: "That's why there is a reorganization tournament in June." As long as you win the game, you can adjust your rank. ”

Xia Qian: "It's too small." ”

Xia Lin: "The Xia family needs talents who can break through adversity. You need it too. ”

When Xia Qian heard this, he was speechless, and suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, so he left quietly.

He has been in the market since he was a child, often passing by private schools, smelling the sound of reading aloud inside, and he also had some expectations in his heart. Now that I'm really in school, I don't know that the rules are so cruel. It is permissible for the strong to oppress the weak, and the weak are not allowed to resist the strong, but to watch them grow stronger and stronger.

This is ridiculous!

He walked aimlessly for a while, and when he woke up, he looked up and saw that he was standing in front of the door of the dining hall. It's not as quiet as it was yesterday, and it's even very noisy. He took a closer look, and there was a pile of people inside, and in the center of the crowd was Xia Yu!

He was surrounded by people, swaying in the sound of pushing and banter, he was silent, and did not show half of his begging for mercy and grievances. His expression was focused as if he was cultivating. At this time, Xia Qiong, who was wearing a red headband, appeared, and everyone got out of the way one after another.

Xia Qiong held a steaming bowl of clear soup in her hand, moved it to the top of his head, and slowly poured it down. There was still a little oil foam on the slightly hot soup, which rolled down from Xia Yu's black and shiny hair, and slid down into several streams across the eyebrows, cheeks, and ears.

Maybe it was the hot soup that burned his skin, and Xia Yu's face showed a little emotion, which was not as calm as before.

Xia Xiao, the orange belt disciple beside Xia Qiong, spoke: "Senior Brother Xia Qiong actually doesn't need to be angry, Xia Zhen is the teacher of the Heavenly Array Palace, so he naturally favors his disciples. So ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Qiong kicked him in the chest and kicked him to the ground, and smashed all the soup bowls in his hands on him. He still maintained a polite smile and a mask as warm as jade: "What did Senior Brother Xia Xiao say, how could Senior Brother blame Teacher Xia Zhen." If you want to blame it, you have to blame the person who doesn't know what to do, and asked such a question. ”

Xia Xiao shuddered. He knew that he was a second-order disciple and could not disobey the first-order disciple Xia Qiong, so even if he unreasonably accused him of asking that question, he would not be able to defend himself. No one wants to be the second Xia Yu.

"It's me, it's me who is wrong. Xia Xiao hurriedly begged for mercy, Xia Qiong's strength was really amazing, and he couldn't compete.

Xia Qiong was angry in his chest, and he didn't plan to stop it, seeing that the formation under his feet was faintly revealed, no one dared to open his mouth to stop it. I only heard someone flattering: "Xia Zhen doesn't know Mingzhu, he only thinks that he Xia Lin is a baby, I don't know that our Senior Brother Xia Qiong has already rested in the sword formation, and no one is invincible." ”

The corners of Xia Qiong's mouth bent inadvertently, saying that it had entered his heart. He nodded with his right foot, and the spell on the formation continued to appear and became clearer and clearer, it was a binding formation.

The formation was completely formed, and then a golden light gathered at the top of the formation, rushing straight towards Xia Xiao.

"Xia Qiong, stop. If you are not pleased, come to me. ”

Just as everyone was holding their breath and staring at the excitement, the down-and-out Xia Yu actually opened his mouth to stop it.

Xia Qiong's ears moved slightly, and the golden light immediately turned to Xia Yu. A few inches away from Xia Yu's toes, it turned into a binding array that was exactly the same as Xia Qiong's feet and was placed on the soles of Xia Yu's feet.

When the formation cast by the caster appears under the opponent's feet, the person being cast will be attacked by the formation. Right now, Xia Yu was bound by the spell and couldn't move.

The crowd retreated, fearing that they might harm themselves.

Xia Qiong casually swung out his saber, and the sword flew up, facing his shoulder socket. The sword wind can see its sharpness, cutting through the wind outlet, and the tearing sound can be vaguely heard.

There is an unwritten rule in Yumen that as long as it is not life-threatening, you can do anything. The audience just watched fixedly, and no one said a word, not a word.

Xia Yu turned her head and closed her eyes, not looking directly at the pain in front of her.

In the dead silence atmosphere, only two sounds of "ping pong and ping-pong" were heard, and Xia Qiong's long sword fell to the ground.

Everyone looked sideways.

Xia Qian stood in front of Xia Yu. Just now, he stretched out his right hand, clasped his thumb on his index finger, and flicked it lightly at the tip of the sword, and the long sword was bounced into the sky by the huge impact force, and then fell down after hitting the eaves, and then there were two sounds of "ping pong, ping-pong".

The corners of Xia Qian's mouth turned up, but there was a hint of anger.

"I can't say such things well, I have to do it. ”

Xia Qiong looked at the long sword that fell to the ground and fell into thought. Although the power of his sword is not strong, it is definitely not weak, but he actually broke his move with just one finger and a flick. It's just a freshman who has just entered the school!" He gritted his teeth and looked at Xia Qian opposite.

Xia Yu said later: "I know what you are thinking, no matter what you do to me, I will definitely participate in the reorganization competition in January." I'm not going to let you go this time. The last sentence he said was so quiet that no one heard him but himself.

Xia Qian walked out of the dining hall with him, and the screams of another person came from behind him.

"Don't worry, with Xia Xiao's cultivation, such a sword wound can heal in seven days. Xia Yu explained to Xia Qian, but saw him staring at his fingers in surprise.

Xia Qian himself didn't expect that he would have such a big momentum with a light flick. Just remembered that the demented old man told him last night, so he tried it inadvertently, and the effect was amazing.

"You need a long rope, don't you, I know there's somewhere. Xia Yu offered to help.

Xia Qian nodded and said strangely, "How do you know?"

Xia Yu replied: "When you went to the kitchen, I happened to meet you, and when I saw you chanting words to the straw rope, I think you need a long rope." If you want, I can go and get it for you. ”

Xia Qian smiled and nodded at him, Xia Yu was flattered, and he was a little embarrassed when he turned his gaze. "No, it's fine. You helped me, and I should help you. ”

Xia Qian looked at the dazzling blue sky and said casually, "Do you really want to participate in that reorganization competition? He didn't say this to look down on him, but to talk about the facts.

Xia Yu wiped the dried oiliness on his face, and happily replied: "Before you can be recognized by others, you must first convince yourself." Summer solstice classmates, your life attitude is naturally good, but it is not suitable for here. If you just want to have fun, you should leave as soon as possible and save yourself from injury. He was suddenly extremely serious, and his tone was a little provocative, which was a world of difference from the soft appearance that Fang had just been slaughtered in the canteen.

Xia Qian raised his eyebrows: "Oh roar, I saved you just now." ”

Xia Yu turned his back to him, tilting his head slightly to look at him. He said solemnly: "I didn't cultivate hard to fight with my classmates. I will pay them back one by one on the field of grievances these days. ”

His purple headband swayed gently in the breeze, and his back, which was not broad, was extremely resolute. What he carried, and what he forbeared, wandered in the wind with this headband, and never left.

"Hey, let's make a bet. Xia Qian shouted from behind.

Xia Yu paused, turned around and asked, "What kind of bet?" ”

The corners of Xia Qian's mouth rose: "Bet that the top of this reorganization competition will be me." ”

Xia Yu's eyebrows were dyed with a slight smile, and he said confidently: "No, it's me." ”

Xia Qian's smile faded, and soon, a stronger smile resurfaced.

"Before that, let's be friends. ”
