The sun is rising.
The streets are starting to get lively.
Hawkers shouted and vehicles passed by.
In the North City Square, the Dragon and Tiger Academy's exams had not yet ended, and the arena was still there.
But almost everyone knows that the results came out yesterday.
So there weren't many people going to watch the fun today.
The Qin family's carriage stopped at the crossroads.
Qin Wenzheng led everyone down from the carriage and prepared to walk over there, but suddenly hesitated. He turned to look at Second Master Qin and Fourth Master Qin and whispered, "Will it be a bit embarrassing?"
Master Qin Er and Master Qin Si hurriedly said, "Brother, it's not shameful, it's not shameful."
At this time, people around pointed at them and someone whispered, "It was him, the son of the Qin family. He almost won yesterday, but was beaten down by the son of Chengguo Mansion and was almost beaten to death."
"The young master of Chengguo Mansion is really amazing. Yesterday on the ring, he suddenly broke through to the late stage of martial artist. I heard from my uncle that there are only a few martial artists in the whole Mo City, and he is still so young."
Several people whispered and walked towards the square.
Qin Wen Zheng's face was gloomy.
Master Qin Er and Master Qin Si also hesitated and whispered, "Brother, how about we not go?"
Qin Wen Zheng immediately glared at them and was about to speak when Qin Chuan stood out from the crowd and walked towards the stage alone.
"Walk!"
Qin Wen Zheng did not hesitate any longer and followed immediately.
The second and fourth masters of the Qin family didn't dare to say anything more and followed behind.
The group arrived at the same location as yesterday.
The guards under the ring looked at them and were a little surprised.
Qin Chuan walked closer, looked up at the ring, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
A while later.
More and more people started to gather in the square.
However, compared to yesterday's hustle and bustle, it is much more relaxed now. At least it is not so crowded anymore and everyone has the opportunity to stand in the front.
The chief examiner was a teacher from Longhu College named Liu Qingyuan, who came very early again today.
By the time it was noon, the crowd waiting to watch the excitement below the stage began to get a little restless.
"Why hasn't the young master from Chengguo Mansion arrived yet?"
"You don't think that since we won the decisive battle yesterday, we don't need to come anymore, do you?"
"Probably not. Maybe he was delayed by something. Wait a little longer. The examiner isn't in a hurry, so why are you?"
Everyone was talking in low voices.
The sun rose higher and higher.
Until the time of Si, approaching noon, Luo Yu still hadn't come.
At this time, even the chief examiner Liu Qingyuan could no longer sit still.
He said something to the person next to him with a serious face, and then the person left in a hurry.
About the time of an incense stick.
The man hurried back and whispered in his ear, "Sir, I just checked and found that the gate of Chengguo Mansion was closed. I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. I don't know where the person has gone."
Liu Qingyuan frowned.
The man said, "Sir, do you want to wait any longer?"
Liu Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Keep waiting. According to the rules, we should wait until the evening. If he doesn't come by then, he will be disqualified."
The people in the audience who were ready to watch the show waited for a whole morning, but did not see anyone going up to the stage, and they immediately started cursing.
Many people dispersed while talking about something.
"That boy couldn't have gotten carried away and went to a brothel last night, got sucked dry and couldn't get up, right?"
"Maybe he had dinner with his friends last night, drank too much, and slept at home."
"In this situation, if a warrior comes up to challenge, what should we do if the boy hasn't arrived yet?"
"Just keep waiting until the evening. If that guy still hasn't come, he might be disqualified. Then, the second place winner from yesterday's final will go on stage to accept the challenge..."
At noon, the sun was scorching overhead.
Most of the crowd in the square dispersed immediately.
Everyone in the Qin family couldn't stand the heat.
Seeing that everyone was wiping their sweat and their stomachs were growling, Qin Wenzheng could only say, "Let's go, find a restaurant to eat first, and come back to see you in the afternoon."
Fourth Master Qin couldn't help but scold, "That kid must have been too proud last night and forgot about it when he slept."
Master Qin frowned and said, "Not really. Even if he forgot while sleeping, Luo Yannian would not forget. He must have something else. But he will definitely come. They have been thinking about this quota for several years."
Song Ruyue took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her swan neck, muttering, "It's best to sleep soundly."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her.
Bai Ling next to him suddenly said, "Madam, your son-in-law was just peeking at you."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, turned her head to look at him, rolled her eyes and said, "What? Do you think what I said is uneducated?"
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "Qingzhou didn't think so."
"snort!"
Song Ruyue snorted and ignored him. She was feeling so hot that she was sweating all over.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and glanced at Bailing.
Bailing immediately hid behind Xia Chan and pouted, "Son-in-law, if you dare to retaliate against me, Chan Chan will not forgive you!"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her.
Qin Wen Zheng took his people to a random restaurant and had lunch.
After dinner, they drank tea and chatted for a while upstairs, then went to the square again.
On the stage, the chief examiner Liu Qingyuan was still sitting there dutifully.
"Strange, why hasn't that guy come yet?"
Qin Chuan also felt puzzled.
There were still some people gathered in the square.
By the afternoon, Luo Yu still hadn't arrived.
At this time, the number of people gathered in the square not only did not decrease, but increased instead.
The first place winner of yesterday's decisive battle did not come today. The news spread quickly and many people rushed to watch the fun.
As evening approached, everyone in the Qin family suddenly became nervous.
Because according to the rules, if yesterday's first place did not come to continue to accept the challenge, he would be considered to have automatically given up the exam, and then yesterday's second place would successfully become the first place.
Qin Chuan also began to get nervous.
As the sun slowly set, everyone's eyes turned to the street outside the square behind.
"drive!"
At this moment, a carriage suddenly came galloping down the street!
Then the carriage stopped outside the square.
Then, Luo Yannian hurried over with a group of people.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed: "Finally it's here."
But when the people from Cheng Guofu came closer, everyone was surprised to find that there seemed to be someone being carried among them.
On the wooden board, there was a person with his head and upper body wrapped in gauze, and his true face could not be seen at all.
Luo Yannian led the people of Chengguo Mansion, lifted the man, walked quickly through the crowd, stepped onto the stage, bowed and said in a deep voice: "Sir, my Yu'er was attacked by gangsters last night and was seriously injured. He survived in the evening, so I hurried here at this time. Please forgive me."
When Liu Qingyuan heard this, his face changed. He immediately stood up and walked forward with his men. He looked at the person on the wooden board and his expression became serious.
"Mr. Wu, please take a look."
He gave an order.
An old man walked out from behind him, squatted down and took a look at Luo Yu who was wrapped tightly, then reached out and touched his head and neck, frowning. After a moment, he stood up and said, "Sir, this boy is indeed seriously injured. His head is shattered, his neck is broken, and even his back spine is broken. Even if he can save his life, he probably won't be able to stand up in the future."
"Yu'er, my son—"
Wang burst into tears again and knelt on the ground.
Luo Yannian showed a trace of grief on his face. He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Sir, I will definitely find a way to cure him as soon as possible. I hope you can give him a year's grace and let him enter school next year."
Liu Qingyuan looked at him, frowned and said, "Lord Luo, I'm sorry. The first rule of our academy is that the admission must be without disabilities. And even if the admission is for royal relatives, there is absolutely no extension. So this time, Lingzi's qualification for the exam can only be cancelled. I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry."
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yannian's body trembled and his face began to turn pale.
Wang suddenly cried, "My Lord! My Lord! My Yu'er clearly ranked first in the exam and is already in the late stage of martial arts. He is a genius in cultivation. He has prepared for so many years just to be admitted to your academy. You can't disqualify him! Give us another year, no, half a year, and we will definitely cure him. Please..."
Wang had her hair disheveled and she was crying and kowtowing.
Liu Qingyuan sighed, looked at the master of Chengguo Mansion in front of him and said, "Lord Luo, you should know the difficulties of people like us. The rules are not set by us, nor can we change them. Lingzi's accident made us very sad because we lost a very promising student. But there is no way, rules are rules, and you and I must abide by them. Well, take him back and treat him well. If he can really be cured by then, with his talent, perhaps our academy can make an exception and admit him."
Luo Yannian clenched his fists in his sleeves, his lips trembled a few times, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Without saying anything more, he lifted his son up himself and walked off the ring.
Wang followed behind, crying heart-wrenchingly: "No, Yu'er! My Yu'er! He obviously passed the exam, he obviously passed the exam..."
Everyone in the audience was stunned into silence by this sudden change.
Wang's mournful and desperate cries echoed throughout the square.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her.
Beside him, Miss Qin was looking at him.
After everyone from Chengguo Mansion left, Liu Qingyuan said loudly on the stage: "Yesterday's second place, is Qin Chuan here?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then walked up in a trance.
Until now, he still didn't understand what happened.
How come the Second Young Master Luo, who was full of energy and vigor yesterday and had just been promoted to the late stage of martial artist cultivation, became so miserable after just one night's absence
"Qin Chuan, let me ask you a question."
Liu Qingyuan looked at him with a sharp gaze and said, "Does Luo Yu's matter have anything to do with you? Tell me!"
His voice was not too loud, but it was like a thunderclap, ringing in Qin Chuan's ears and mind.
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "It has nothing to do with me, I can swear."
Liu Qingyuan stared at him for a while, then nodded and said, "Congratulations, you have officially become a member of our Dragon Tiger Academy."
Qin Chuan stood there, his mind blank.
Offstage, Bai Ling suddenly looked around, a puzzled look on her face, then turned around and asked, "Xiao Die, where is your young master?"
Xiaodie pointed to the back and said, "Young Master just said that his stomach felt uncomfortable, so he left first."
Bai Ling looked doubtful: "What about Xia Chan?"
Xiaodie said, "It seems like he left with the Master."
The carriage was moving slowly on the street, and the crying in the carriage continued.
Wang cried all night last night and fainted this morning. After waking up at noon, she continued crying. Now her eyes are almost blurred from crying.
The old lady in black robes at the side tried to persuade him again, "Madam, there is no point in crying. The second young master's life is saved, which is a good thing. When we get to Kyoto, we will ask the eldest young master to find someone to treat him. There are many talented people in Kyoto, and he will definitely be cured. As for Dragon Tiger Academy, there will be opportunities in the future."
Wang cried, "Who on earth is so cruel to harm my Yu'er like this..."
Luo Yannian sat at the door with a gloomy face and did not speak.
Under the scorching sun, a shadow was flying rapidly in the sky and soon landed in a mansion.
A cat jumped onto the wall and entered a courtyard.
But soon, it flew out of that courtyard again, avoided the servants and guards in the mansion, entered another courtyard, and then entered the house from the roof.
The carriage soon stopped in front of Chengguo Mansion.
Luo Yannian personally carried the person in. Just as he was about to carry him back to the previous courtyard, he suddenly said, "Carry him to my study."
Luo Yu was wrapped tightly, with only his eyes exposed.
His eyes were open, but he couldn't utter a word.
Luo Yannian carried him to the study, carefully placed him on the couch in the inner room, squatted down and asked softly: "Yu'er, it's okay, have a good rest, Dad will definitely find someone to cure you."
Wang was crying beside her.
Luo Yannian squatted in front of the couch, looked at him with grief in his heart for a while, then stood up and said, "You stay with Yu'er first, I'll go to the government office. I must get to the bottom of this matter!"
Wang cried and said, "Master, you must help Yu'er get revenge."
Then she looked at the couch again and said softly: "Yu'er, my child, don't be afraid, you will be fine, father and mother will definitely protect you..."
Luo Yannian said nothing more and walked out quickly.
Walking out of the house, he suddenly said to the hunched figure standing at the door: "Mammy, please. That man is a mid-stage martial artist. You are the only one in this house who can protect Yu'er. Don't leave before I come back, and..."
"ah-"
At this moment, Wang's terrified scream suddenly came from the room!
“Whoosh!”
Luo Yannian and the old lady rushed in almost at the same time!
Wang was squatting in front of the couch, the jade pendant on her chest emitting a milky white light that enveloped her body.
Her whole body was trembling, her face was ferocious, and she was screaming loudly!
Her face and head were covered in blood, and she was holding a bloody head in her hands, which was wrapped in dense gauze.
On the couch, Luo Yu had turned into a headless corpse, with large amounts of blood spurting out from his neck!
When Luo Yannian saw this scene, his legs suddenly went weak, his body swayed a few times, and he almost fell down.
The soul sword kills people, beheads and destroys souls!
