Chapter XXVI: Protection
The second day of the exam
It was starting to get dark again, and the red wolves were once again on a frantic attack. These same attacks once again shocked the candidates who took the exam.
At this time, Yang Yifan was holding a black wooden stick in his hand, which was the black bamboo wood that Yifan found in the woods during the day. When he saw the black bamboo, they were artificially piled together. Black bamboo is a tree that grows in the 100,000 mountains, and it generally grows straight like bamboo, but its appearance is rough and the surface is black. Its most important feature is that it is so hard that it can be compared to steel, and it is the best material that can be used at this time. Yifan slowly raised the black bamboo wood in his hand and prepared to face the red wolves.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him and protected Yang Yifan, these two were Li Xingwu and Xiaokui, who were mixed in the civilian crowd during the day. Yang Yifan asked suspiciously: "What are you doing, don't stand in front of me." ”
Xiao Kui said with a smile: "Brother Yifan, let's help you, don't thank us." ”
Yang Yifan said: "Don't worry about you, I can handle it..."
Before Yang Yifan finished speaking, the red wolves began to pounce on them. At the same time, the long sword in Li Xingwu's hand swung quickly around him. Wherever the sword appears, countless red wolf corpses will appear.
At this time, in order to prevent Yifan from making a move, Li Xingwu desperately protected Yang Yifan and waved the long sword in his hand. Yang Yifan was stunned by this sudden change, he never expected that the people of the Li clan would protect him like this, he could understand that Xiaokui would come to help, but Li Xingwu would protect himself like this, and this kind of help faintly gave people the feeling that it was a bit too much. Unable to comprehend what they are doing now. Did Li Yi ask them to help me? Yang Yifan knew that Li Yi had no status among his brothers, and even his younger brothers didn't take their words seriously, only his sister Xiaokui treated him as an elder brother. Thinking of this, he was a little wary of Li Xingwu.
"Be careful!" shouted Aoi. Yang Yifan was stunned and found that the dead body of a red wolf fell in front of him, and the red wolf looked at him with vicious eyes, and there were countless unwillingness in his eyes. Turning to look at Xiao Kui, Yifan thought for a moment, "How can I say that Li Yi is also their brother, maybe their relationship is not as bad as it seems." Are brothers brothers after all!" Thinking of this, a trace of warmth surged in Yifan's heart. "Li Yi, where are you now? You really haven't forgotten me. Thank you. Yifan thought so in his heart, and suddenly wanted to see Li Yi, the corners of his eyes began to moisten, and the happy days with Li Yi in the past passed in front of him.
He regained his senses, clutching his weapon to protect himself in the dark, but every time he tried to wield the black bamboo wood in me, a sword light would appear flying in front of him. There will also be a corpse of a red wolf on the ground, and he didn't touch a red wolf for a whole night, which made Yifan feel a little warm and a little unhappy in his heart. But after the battle, he still said "Thank you" to Xiaokui and Li Xingren, and he originally wanted to ask about Li Yi's situation. But after Li Xingwu nodded lightly, he immediately turned around and meditated. Xiao Kui also hurriedly followed behind Li Xingwu and walked away. Yang Yifan was not given a chance to speak at all. Yang Yifan couldn't say anything, because they really worked too hard last night.
And he saw the people around him who had been wounded from yesterday's battle, and he hurried to help them check their injuries and help them bandage their wounds. I swallowed back what I wanted to ask just now.
Only two days had passed since the Preparatory Army exam, and only a third of the people in the exam room remained. After two days of fighting with the red wolves, most of them, except for those children of big families, gradually lost confidence in their ability to pass the exam.
After resting on the side for a while, Li Xingwu slowly recovered his strength. He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Kui for a long time, and finally said to Xiao Kui: "Sister Xiao Kui, have you noticed the moves used by that person named Yang Yifan. ”
Xiao Kui thought for a while and said, "This, you protected it so well yesterday that I didn't even see him swing his stick once." Do you see what kind of exercises there will be in his capacity, and shouldn't we help him because of this?"
Li Xingwu looked around cautiously, slowly feeling the breath around him. After feeling that there was no one around him for a while, he whispered to Xiao Kui: "Yifan is using our Li family's exercises. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Kui was stunned, looked at Li Xingwu blankly and said, "Is what you said true? How is this possible!"
Li Xingwu continued: "On the first day, when we faced the red wolf, we saw the exercises that Yifan used. I was also very shocked. It's actually a practice of our Li family. I just tried my best to protect him yesterday just to prevent him from making a move, for fear that others would recognize him. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became! I actually became his subordinate. Bastard!"
Aoi never expected this kind of thing to happen. Xiao Kui said to Li Xingwu: "How do you want to deal with this matter, do you want to continue to protect him like this? Indeed, this matter is not trivial! Fortunately, you found out early, otherwise it would have had too much impact on our family if others found out." ”
Aoi said, "To be honest, I thought about killing him in the chaos, which may be the best solution. ”
Xiao Kui's heart fluttered when she heard this. looked closely at Li Xingwu.
Li Xingwu continued: "But think about it carefully, this examination room is full of people from the Ninefold Sect. It also changed my initial thinking. If they find out that we have killed someone in the examination room, even if that person is a civilian, we will be affected. So in desperation, I decided to protect the person named Yifan. ”
Xiao Kui suddenly realized at this time that she knew the abnormality of Li Xingwu the day before yesterday. And I have a new understanding of this younger brother who usually laughs and plays with her. It's also a little unfamiliar.
Li Xingwu continued: "Sister Xiaokui, I need your help. Can you help me?"
Xiao Kui thought for a while and said, "You don't want me to help you kill Yifan, do you?" ”
Li Xingwu said very seriously: "Yes, Yifan must die, and I must let him disappear." ”
Xiao Kui saw Li Xingwu's extremely serious expression and said, "Don't be impulsive, you also said that it is very dangerous for us to do it under the surveillance of the Ninefold Sect, isn't it? Let's discuss it with Brother Nan Tian and them before making a decision." ”
Li Xingwu hurriedly said: "No, you also know that Yifan and Brother Li Yi are good friends, you said that Yifan knows the exercises of the Li family." Who will be the most suspicious, it is Brother Li Yi. Passing on the exercises privately is the most taboo thing in our Li family, and you said that if you let Brother Nan Tian and them know, can you guarantee that they will not tell their families? Now that Brother Li Yi is punished, can he still gain a foothold in our family? Therefore, this matter must not be let them know, and it is done during the examination. Although there are people from the Ninefold Sect all around. But with the cooperation of you and me, there is hope for killing him in this chaotic battle, Sister Xiaokui, I need your help. ”
Xiao Kui patted Li Xingwu's shoulder and said, "Don't be impulsive first, let's think about it." You have a good rest first, you are too physically exhausted in order to prevent Yifan from making a move. We still have twelve days to take our time. ”
At this time, it was not only Xiao Kui who was shocked, but the children of the major families were very shocked to see Li Xingwu and Xiao Kui protecting Yang Yifan yesterday. They all had a question. Who the hell are they protecting? Could it be that the Li family sent people to participate in this examination for this young man? What kind of characters and background made the Li family make such a big sacrifice. But look at Li Yi's shabby clothes and equipment. They couldn't imagine what kind of big man he could be. If it's not the big guys, why should they protect them? The great families began to exchange information about them. However, no one knows why, and no one knows Yifan. They began an intense search for intelligence.
