In the next few days, Murong Qingyan did not continue to practice, but stayed with Huangfu Jue. The two are just like ordinary couples, living a simple life.
Long Liyuan didn't know whether it was because she knew each other and didn't want to disturb her, or because she wanted to cultivate, she didn't go to Murong to show her face in the past few days.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the college competition.
The college competition is jointly held by the four colleges, and all students in the four colleges can participate in this competition. Such a grand event was naturally held in the square of the vast city.
The event has not yet started, and a lot of people have already gathered in the square of the vast city.
At the front seat of the square, a shed has been erected. Obviously, there is a place for those important people to sit. On both sides of the square, there are also a lot of sheds, and people from the four major colleges have their own seats. The people who are going to participate in the competition in each college have already taken their seats there.
At the front of the square, there were also a lot of people who came to watch the fun. This kind of event will definitely attract a lot of people. It can be said that for this competition, many people from all over the world have gathered in Cangmang City recently.
Murong Qingyan was still very interested in this academy competition, and of course she would also participate in it. However, she didn't like coming out so early to join in the fun. Just to not act too different, so she came neither too soon nor too late.
Of course, when Murong Qingyan came to the square, she saw the seat of her academy with just one glance. Of course, it's not because her eyes are particularly good, but because she sees the person greeting at a glance.
"Qianyan, Qingyan, this side." Long Liyuan naturally came very early on such days, but she has never seen Murong Qingyan. Now that she finally sees Murong Qingyan, she is naturally very happy." Come here, here I am!"
In the face of Long Liyuan's enthusiasm, Murong Qingyan would naturally not refuse. She glanced at Huangfu Jue beside her, and the meaning was obvious.
When seeing Long Liyuan, Huangfu Jue couldn't help frowning. Although he knew that Long Liyuan was Yan'er's friend, he still didn't like Long Liyuan and Yan'er's intimate behavior. However, he would not refuse Yan'er's request.
Although not very willing, Huangfu Jue still embraced Murong and walked in the direction of Long Liyuan.
Long Liyuan was excited for a while, so she ignored the existence of Huangfu Jue, but when Huangfu Jue walked in front of her, she couldn't help but wince. feeling of fear. I don't know why, when she saw Huangfu Jue, she always couldn't overcome the feeling of fear.
In fact, not only Long Liyuan, other people can't help but feel the feeling of wanting to surrender to that person's feet when they really face Huangfu Jue. I don't know why, but it seems that he is a person without any characteristics, but he inadvertently exudes an aura that can't be ignored.
"Liyuan." Murong smiled at Long Liyuan and said hello, "I didn't expect you to come so early!"
"Did I come early?" After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Long Liyuan couldn't help rolling her eyes, "It's you who came late, okay? Don't take a look, on such a day, who is not Came early."
"It's useless to come so early!" Murong shrugged and said indifferently, "The academy competition hasn't started yet, so coming so early is just to watch the fun."
"You!" Seeing Murong Qingyan's cold temperament, Long Liyuan didn't know what to say.
"Senior Sister Murong." At this moment, a sudden voice interjected directly, interrupting the conversation between Murong Qingyan and Long Liyuan.
The two followed the voice and saw Bai Ruo standing there. At this time, she was looking at Murong with a smile, and she looked well-behaved.
"Hey, Bai Ruo, what are you doing here?" Long Liyuan's expression changed immediately as soon as someone came, "I'm talking to Qingyan, why are you interrupting?"
Hearing Long Liyuan's straightforward words, Bai Ruo's face became a little ugly, and the whole person seemed to be greatly wronged, "Senior Sister Long, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to fight with Senior Sister Murong. Just a hello."
"Long Liyuan, there's no need for you to talk like that!" It was Song Wei, one of the students in the elite class. After seeing Bai Ruo being wronged, he couldn't help but complain, "Bai Ruo is just It's just a sentence, do you need to mock her like this?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Long Liyuan glared at Song Wei, "Would you like to intervene when we talk to the girls? Also, she was the one who brought it up by herself, and now she still needs to intervene. Pretending to be wronged here is what I hate the most."
Long Liyuan really couldn't figure out where this white scorpion was. Since she joined the elite class, almost everyone has been on her side. It's just a person who likes to put on a pose, what's so special about it!
"Long Liyuan, don't think you're a girl, I'll be afraid of you." Song Wei was about to explode, "It's obviously your fault, and you're still arrogant here."
Hearing Song Wei's words, Long Liyuan became even more angry.
"Don't quarrel over me." Seeing that the situation was getting very bad, Bai Ruo quickly said, "Senior Brother Song, it's my fault. Don't quarrel with Senior Sister Long for me."
"Bai Ruo, how are you—" Seeing Bai Ruo's appearance, Song Wei couldn't say anything else, but he still gave Long Liyuan a vicious look.
Many students from the elite class are gathered here, so they can still see clearly what just happened. However, obviously, everyone is on Bai Ruo's side. In the eyes of everyone, Bai Ruo was obviously the victim.
Seeing the development of the matter, although Murong Qingyan didn't say anything, her face still became condensed.
Now it seems that this method of Bai Ruo is really good. But in just two months or so, not only did he join the elite class, but his status in the elite class seemed to be not low. At least many people have been captured by her, and they will stand by her side when things happen.
However, Li Yuan's temperament is too straight, she will definitely suffer against Bai Ruo. Especially Bai Ruo will show weakness like this, and it will be more able to attract the attention and sympathy of others.
"Liyuan, let's go and sit on the other side!" Seeing Long Liyuan's indignant look, Murong stretched out her hand directly, pulled Long Liyuan, and said with a smile, "Since you don't want to talk to these people, then Just walk away. If you can't be provoked, can't you hide?"
"Senior Sister Murong, do you have a problem with me?" Murong Qingyan wanted to leave just like that, but Bai Ruo was unwilling, so she spoke directly, "Could it be that Senior Sister doesn't even want to have a word with me?"
As soon as these words came out, when the others looked at Murong, there was a trace of unkindness in their eyes.
However, Xuanyuan Lang, who had been watching from the sidelines, didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face when he saw Murong's expression. Perhaps it should be said that he rarely intervenes in what happens in the usual elite class. Although Bai Ruo entered the elite class with his consent, it did not mean that he had a different opinion on this Bai Ruo.
"Why does Junior Sister Bai Ruo talk like this?" Murong looked at Bai Ruo and smiled lightly, "Does it matter if I have an opinion on you? Speaking of which, we shouldn't be familiar with each other, right? Neither do I You know, why do you have to be friends with me all the time? Can you tell me the reason? Because I don't really believe that in this world, there will be good things for no reason."
After hearing Murong's words, Bai Ruo's expression changed a bit, but he quickly returned to normal, "I heard that Senior Sister is the only disciple of the Dean, and my Master and Dean are friends, so I naturally feel more towards Senior Sister. Kind."
"Really?" Murong looked at Bai Ruo with a half-smile but not a smile, "That's really my honor, but now I want to go to the other side with Li Yuan, I wonder if Junior Sister has any opinion? "
"How come?" Bai Ruo said with a smile, "Then I will delay the two senior sisters."
Murong Qingyan and Long Liyuan quickly walked towards the other side. However, when others looked at Murong Qingyan and Long Liyuan, their eyes were still very bad.
"Qingyan, I really don't understand, why are you being so polite to this Bai Ruo." After walking away, Long Liyuan said angrily, "According to what I said, you should give her a good lesson. Yes."
"And then aroused public anger, didn't it?" Murong shook his head angrily, "I've told you many times before, why are you still so impulsive! However, I really didn't expect that this white ruo It's so popular in the elite class."
Just now, she had noticed that most of the people over there were from the elite class. Obviously, these pairs are very protective for Bai Ruo. Otherwise, Song Wei would not have spoken directly to Bai Ruo because of Li Yuan's words.
As for the others, although they didn't speak, they were obviously standing on Bai Ruo's side. This Bai Ruo's method is really not weak!
"Those people's eyes are blind." Long Liyuan said angrily, "Didn't I tell you before? This Bai Ruo looks like he doesn't eat human fireworks all day long. But it is able to attract everyone's eyes. Moreover, those girls will not be too hostile to her. "
"Then you're still directly confronting her, you're not stupid!" Murong shook his head with a smile on his face, "You should stop being so impulsive in the future, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer."
"Then this Bai Ruo doesn't care about her?" Long Liyuan looked disgusting as she swallowed a fly, "As soon as I see her, I'm in a bad mood."
"Then don't look at her." Murong said with a smile, "As for what kind of purpose she has, after a long time, you will know soon."
Long Liyuan still wanted to say something, but in the end, under Murong's face, she still didn't say anything. Of course, the cold face of Huangfu Jue on the side is also one of the reasons!
Although such an unpleasant thing happened, such a trivial matter, when compared with today's grand event, is not even a small disturbance.
The time soon came to start, and the people in the shed in the middle had already taken their seats. The deans of the four major colleges, and a few old people who look proud, don't know who they are.
"Liyuan, who are the people over there?" Murong looked at the people on the field with a face, leaned into Long Liyuan's ear, and asked, "It's not that the college competition this time is a combination of the four colleges. Was it held? Why do I feel like there are some people above, not from the academy?"
Those unfamiliar old men didn't look weak, but looked aloof and didn't look like ordinary people.
"No!" Long Liyuan was stunned when she heard Murong Qingyan's question, and then looked at Murong Qingyan in disbelief, "You have already come to participate in the academy competition, you still don't know these things? In the academy competition, there are some big families in the realm of the vast cloud that will send people to participate, just to see if there are any good seedlings."
This is the case almost every time. For these things, the students from the Three Kingdoms are even more looking forward to it. Those who were originally in the realm of the Vast Cloud didn't care much about these things. Because after they finish their studies at the academy, they will all return to their families.
But those students from the Three Kingdoms were different. What they hoped more was that they could pass the study of the four major colleges and finally be able to step into that place. This college competition is the best opportunity to show yourself.
"So that's how it is!" After hearing Long Liyuan's words, Murong nodded with a clear face.
At this moment, an old man who looked very dignified, stood up directly, came to the front, then raised his hand, and after calming down on the field, he opened his mouth and said, "Hello everyone, everyone, I believe everyone already knows about the old man. Identity. This old man is the lord of this vast city - Yu Aotian. Today's academy competition is still hosted by this old man."
The resounding voice spread all over the square. Everyone fell silent and looked at the stage.
Murong Qingyan also learned a lot from Long Liyuan's mouth.
This Yu Aotian is the city lord of Cangmang City, but he usually lives in a secluded place and spends almost all of his time cultivating. He is an out-and-out cultivator. However, in every college competition, he would come out to support the overall situation.
However, in such a grand event, only his identity is enough to preside over the overall situation. Although the status of the four academies is very high, no matter the dean of that academy came forward to preside over, it is not enough to convince others, not as good as this Yu Aotian!
"This time the academy competition is divided into two parts as usual. The first part, of course, is the competition. We will adopt the method of promotion, and finally select the best person. The second part is the alchemy competition. The alchemy competition is divided into three stages. In each stage, a group of people will be eliminated. Until the last stage, there will only be ten people left. Whether it is a competition or an alchemy competition, as long as you win the championship, you will be rich. reward."
Listening to Yu Aotian's words, the enthusiasm of the people below has been mobilized. There were already eager expressions on the faces of many people. Obviously, everyone was looking forward to the next competition.
After the rules of the competition were announced, the competition of the competition began first. However, because there were too many people participating in the competition, in the first competition, ten people came to the stage together each time, and then a winner was finally selected to advance.
Murong was not surprised by such a rule. After all, there are quite a lot of people participating in the competition from the four colleges. If it is true that the two are compared, I don't know if the comparison can be finished in ten days.
Of course, although there are many people, there is still an age limit for those who participate in the college competition. We can't let everyone's age and strength differ too much! Otherwise, it would not be a competition, but a unilateral crush.
By drawing lots, the first group of people quickly entered the ring.
Looking at the melee above, Murong leaned against Huangfu Jue's arms with a look of lack of interest on her face. She really has no interest, and there is nothing to watch in such a test. Although it is a melee, the people above are not strong.
Such melees are being held one by one. Of course, among the people on the field, it is very likely that they will encounter people from their own academy. However, even in the face of people who have a good relationship on weekdays, you must do your best, or you will be kicked out in the first game, which is really shameful.
Murong Qingyan and Long Liyuan both passed the first competition smoothly.
Originally, after the comparison, Murong Qingyan planned to leave. After all, this kind of competition is not very interesting. However, when she was about to leave, after seeing the people on the ring, she stayed. Because at this time it was no one else standing on the stage, but Murong Qingxue.
If it wasn't for seeing Murong Qingxue here, she would have almost forgotten about this person. But now when she saw Murong Qingxue, she doubted her eyes.
There was no doubt that the person on the field was Murong Qingxue, but the aura of the whole person seemed to have changed a lot. If the original Murong Qingxue was a person who liked to pretend to be pitiful, then the current Murong Qingxue was a very gloomy person. Not only that, but she exuded a creepy evil spirit all over her body.
Although they still had the same face, Murong Qingxue looked very strange, with a gloomy face and a smile on her face. But that smile was extraordinarily awkward and looked very deliberate. I haven't approached yet, as long as I see her appearance, I will feel a cold feeling.
"What are you looking at?" As if seeing the strangeness of Murong Qingyan, Huangfu Jue leaned against Murong Qingyan's ear and said softly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Have you seen that person on the field?" A faint light flashed in Murong Qingyan's eyes, "That's Murong Qingxue, she seems to have gotten even weirder after I haven't seen her for a while. After the secret realm, I found that she was very wrong. I just didn't expect it, but after a while, she has changed even more."
Not only that, but she also discovered that Murong Qingxue's strength increased very quickly. When he left the secret realm before, he had not yet reached the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage. However, the current Murong Qingxue was already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, or even close to the late stage. Such progress has to be doubted.
"It's her?" Huangfu Jue remembered only after hearing Murong Qingyan's words, but after looking at Murong Qingxue, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's just a person seeking death, she can't live. How long."
"What?" After hearing Huangfu Jue's words, Murong Qingyan was really taken aback, "Is what you said true? Well, how could she—"
She was a doctor, and she couldn't even see what was wrong with Murong Qingxue. It can even be said that Murong Qingxue seems to be in the prime of his life now, and he doesn't feel like he is about to run out of fuel.
"It's not that she's going to die, but she's about to become not her." Huangfu Jue explained, "Perhaps it should be said that her ego is about to disappear. What will be alive then will be her body, and It's not her anymore."
After hearing Huangfu Jue's explanation, Murong Qingyan felt even more confused, "Did something happen to Murong Qingxue?"
"Even if something happened, she brought it on herself." Huangfu Jue said indifferently, "Didn't you find out? Her current strength will increase very quickly, but unfortunately, her strength did not come from her own cultivation, but Something else provided. Maybe I should put it this way! She signed a symbiotic contract with an evil thing, so that evil thing would provide her with strength. However, at the same time, that evil thing would continue to erode her mind. "
"You mean, that kind of evil will use Murong Qingxue as a puppet?" Murong Qingyan guessed it at once, "So, the faster Murong Qingxue's strength increases, the faster her consciousness will disappear. ,yes?"
