A petite figure slowly walked out from the corner, with short black ear-length hair and a faint smell of blood. The dim light of the street lamp in the distance outlined Zhou Zheng's delicate yet heroic face.
"Sister Xiaobai, why are you here?"
Yue Hongxue was extremely surprised and hurriedly went over to help him.
Just now, Sister Xiaobai was clearly unable to move due to the anesthesia.
"Stand aside."
Fang Xiaobai glared at the waiter with sharp eyes.
They were already out of danger, but this kid had to turn back. What if he encountered danger? If he hadn't been worried about his safety, how could he have forcefully exercised his skills? Fighting the danger of disordered profound energy, he forced out some of the anesthetic and forced himself to come.
"oh."
Like a child who made a mistake and was scolded by his parents, Yue Hongxue lowered his head and walked away slowly.
At the end, he added: "Sister Xiaobai, this brother is a good person..."
"Shut up."
Fang Xiaobai glared again.
Yue Hongxue stopped talking completely.
"What happened just now..." Fang Xiaobai glanced at Lin Beichen and said in a cold voice: "Although you didn't take the initiative to help me, thank you very much. At least you bought time for the three of us."
This was said very rudely.
But Lin Beichen wasn't angry either.
Because what Fang Xiaobai said is true.
At first, he really had no intention of taking action.
If the bald man hadn't committed suicide and thought he was the boss of the Gale Brothers, it was still unknown whether he would take action in the end.
"I, Fang Xiaobai, owe you a favor, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."
Fang Xiaobai cupped his fists indifferently, cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your name."
Although the two had met in the qualifying camp, Lin Beichen was in disguise at this time, so she did not recognize him.
Lin Beichen glanced at Yue Hongxue, who was standing aside with his head lowered, shook his head, turned and left.
Not having too much contact or entanglement with people in this world is still Lin Beichen's first principle.
Especially gang members like this who are aggressive and grudge-ridden.
How could a smart and kind-hearted child like Yue Hongxue get entangled with gang members
Pity.
Seeing Lin Beichen's figure disappearing into the distance, Fang Xiaobai trembled and was about to fall limply. Yue Hongxue quickly supported her and said nervously: "Sister Xiaobai, you... what's wrong with you?"
Fang Xiaobai gasped for breath and said: "It's okay, it's just that the profound energy in the body was a little messed up when I forced it out just now. Do you know this person just now?"
Yue Hongxue recounted what happened at the Yuelai Inn that afternoon.
"He asked you to be the future
Send the lunch box of the day to the bamboo courtyard of the Third College? "Fang Xiaobai was thoughtful.
Yue Hongxue supported her and whispered as she walked: "Yes, this brother was very polite and polite, and finally gave me a tip of one copper coin."
"Only big people can live in the major villas of the Third Academy. This person looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. He can't see his face clearly with a mask... Forget it, since he doesn't want to reveal his name, he probably looks down on him. Us gang members.”
Fang Xiaobai laughed at himself and asked: "Xiaoxue, do you think I was too cold to that person just now?"
Yue Hongxue remained silent.
Fang Xiaobai sighed and said, "You are too kind and don't understand the insidiousness and darkness of this world. In the gang, I have encountered countless insidious and mysterious things over the years. I have seen I've seen bloodshed, I've seen profit and forget one's loyalty, I've seen people turn against each other and be ruthless, I've seen countless righteous faces turn sinister and vicious in a blink of an eye, many people dumped their bodies on the streets and died with their eyes open... This person just now, fortunately, didn't have any ill intentions, if he had What? You might be dead."
"Sister Xiaobai, actually I think trust can sometimes be quite..." Yue Hongxue defended.
"Shut up." Fang Xiaobai snapped.
Yue Hongxue shivered and did not dare to say anything.
Fang Xiaobai sighed again, took something out of his arms, handed it to Yue Hongxue and said, "This is the white jade intermittent ointment. Take it back. With it, your sister's hand tendons should be restored."
Yue Hongxue suddenly looked guilty and said, "If it weren't for this medicine, Sister Xiaobai and Brother Da Zhuang wouldn't have been ambushed and injured by people from the Thousand Miles Merchant Guild. It's all because of me..."
"Don't say that." Fang Xiaobai laughed and said, "The only people I don't trust are outsiders and strangers. You will understand in the future... You are now a member of the Gale Brothers, and we, the members of the Gale Brothers, We are all poor children, and we need to help each other more. If we don’t help ourselves, who will help us? Do we expect those high-ranking officials? Okay, please send the medicine back quickly, and I will take Da Zhuang back to heal his wounds. "
The two said a few words, and Fang Xiaobai gradually regained his strength and separated in the alley.
…
…
The second day.
Teaching day.
When Lin Beichen came to Class 9, Grade 2, he was greeted with warm applause.
Squad leader Yin Yi and others took the lead in cheering to welcome the return of the idol.
Yes, now Lin Beichen has become the idol of the entire second grade and even the third college.
The first second-year students to enter the Prodigy Competition in decades.
This time, only four people from the entire Third Academy entered the main competition. A dark horse from the first grade, Lin Beichen and Yue Hongxiang from the second grade, and Han Fuhua from the third grade. This can be said to be a record, especially Lin Beichen's second place in the qualifiers was the best in history.
However, the next Xuanqi class was replaced by another teaching, which made Lin Beichen disappointed and a little worried.
Ding Sanshi is indeed in trouble.
Where did he go
Lin Beichen was thinking about it, and before he knew it, he fell asleep on the desk.
The lecturer, seeing this scene, could only shake his head helplessly.
What can be said
After class, Lin Beichen went straight to the office of grade director Chu Hen.
"Oh? Ding Jiaoxi? He is in seclusion."
Chu Hen said.
"Retreat?" Lin Beichen felt strange: "Why did you retreat suddenly?"
Chu Hen said: "An old rival came to the city and wanted to duel with Ding Jiaoxi, so Ding Jiaoxi temporarily retreated to adjust his state and prepare for the duel."
duel
Lin Beichen was greatly surprised.
There is such a thing.
"When will the duel take place?" he asked.
Lin Beichen could watch the gang fight between Fang Xiaobai and others without any psychological burden, but Ding Sanshi's duel... Lin Beichen couldn't help but worry.
"Eight days later, the sword trial appointment will be held."
Chu Hen said.
Eight days later? That's close.
Lin Beichen asked: "What kind of opponent is he? Does Ding Jiaoxi have a good chance of winning?"
Chu Hen shook his head and said: "It's hard to say what the odds are. Ding Jiaoxi's opponent is Bai Haiqin, one of the three famous swordsmen from Baiyun City. Ding Jiaoxi lost the last sword trial appointment."
Baiyun City
One of the three major kendo holy places in the Beihai Empire
When Lin Beichen heard this, his scalp went numb.
The weight of this opponent is not light.
"Look at this..." Chu Hen took out a bright red post and handed it over.
Lin Beichen took it in his hand and opened it, but it was an invitation inviting Chu Hen to the city lord's palace on the night of the 15th to watch the ceremony and test the sword. In addition to the prefix, there were two lines written on it -
On the night of the 15th, the moon filled the sky.
At the top of Ling Mansion, one sword can penetrate the mysteries.
The handwriting was so powerful that it penetrated the back of the paper. Each stroke, stroke, hook and horizontal stroke seemed to be slashed by a sharp sword. There was a sharp edge coming towards his face, which made Lin Beichen feel as if he was being pointed at the center of his eyebrows by the edge of a sword.
"This post was written by Cao Potian, Bai Haiqin's favorite disciple. It contains his understanding of swordsmanship."
Chu Hen said.
After finishing speaking, he added: "This Cao Potian was once a disciple of Ding Jiaoxi. He came from a humble background and did not even have the opportunity to go to school. Later, he was discovered by Ding Jiaoxi and carefully trained, and became a genius in Yunmeng City. Unfortunately, during the last sword trial appointment, he betrayed his master and became a disciple of Bai Haiqin, one of the three famous swordsmen in Baiyun City. This time, he also came to Yunmeng City."
