Views:

In the early morning of the next day, Ah Lian got up from the guest room, folded the bedding neatly, then ran outside Shangshen's bedroom, raised her hand and knocked on the door a few times: "Shangshen, are you still sleeping?"

After riding the Pegasus horse and watching the sunrise yesterday, Shangshen didn't want to talk to her anymore. He didn't even share lunch and dinner with her, and only stayed in the bedroom alone. Shangshen is the body of a god, so even if he doesn't eat, it doesn't matter, and he likes to be quiet, so Ah Lian is sensible not to disturb him.

She stood at the door for a while, and said: "Shangshen hasn't eaten for two days, I got up early and made mung bean cakes for you, and put them outside, you can eat as much as you want. Also, I will replace the dirty clothes you changed for you After washing, hang it in the yard. If it rains, remember to bring it in. Oh, I also cleaned up the yard, and fed all the celestial horses in the stable..." She babbled a lot, seeing the people inside Still not saying a word, he said, "Then...then I'll go back to Jiuxiao Pavilion first."

She carried the small book bag on her back, turned her head and glanced at the closed door again, and then walked towards the stable.

The little white horse is not afraid of life, yesterday she rode for a whole day, today when she saw her, she raised her head and barked at her.

Ah Lian smiled, and went up to touch him. The little white horse thoughtfully lowered his head and rubbed Ah Lian's cheek.

Ah Lian stepped on the stirrups, rode on the horse's back, blew the whistle hanging around his neck, and said vigorously, "Let's go!"

Tianma changed from the noble and elegant past, neighed happily a few times, and then jumped up, flapping its wings and flying high. One person and one horse gradually disappeared over the Xiaoyao Temple.

Only then did the door of Shangshen's room slowly open.

The noble and unparalleled Shangshen bent down and picked up a plate of mung bean cakes on the ground, then turned around, looked at the back of the little fish demon driving home, and then frowned.

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Shangshen's ears burned badly.

Where is the carp? It is clearly a black (dirty) fish!

Back at Jiuxiao Pavilion, Tian Luo was very excited when she heard the news that Ah Lian could continue to cultivate immortality, "Really? Great, we can be together again."

Yizhang felt that the fat-headed fish would definitely not be able to stay. Hearing the news at this moment, he naturally felt uncomfortable. He raised his chin slightly and squinted at her: "How is it possible? Jiuxiao Pavilion has always been fair and just. That day you Defeated by Huo Yin, you only got a grade C in the martial arts test, which is obvious to all present, how did you get through the back door?"

This Ah Lian had already thought up the wording, and he must not mention Shangshen, which would affect his reputation, so he said, "It was my cousin who helped me move my hukou in the heavenly realm."

As soon as these words fell, even Yi Gui, who had always been indifferent, looked not so good.

Yigui and Yizhang could be said to be the noble daughters of the Hai clan, and they could have some relationship with some of the immortals in the heavens. Nowadays, the household registration control in the Heaven Realm is so strict that even they can't go this way. How could this fat-headed fish from a small place like Dongze Lake do it

Yi Zhang was naturally dissatisfied and said a few more words.

After they left, Tian Luo said: "Don't pay attention to her, we'll just get used to it. By the way, let's celebrate together today, shall we?"

Ah Lian was also happy, nodded and said, "Okay."

Every time there is a celebration meal, Tian Luo treats the guests. If Ah Lian refused, Tian Luo would say with teary eyes: "Are you looking down on my money?" Then he said, "A Lian, you greet me like this on weekdays, and I want to treat you too. But I don't care about my money." , and nothing else...”

Tian Luo's father was an upstart, she was well protected since she was a child, and she was born with a simple and kind heart, but because she was born in Tangzhong, she felt very inferior and cherished her friendship with Ah Lian very much. Every time Ah Lian didn't use her silver, her gold beans would fall down with a patter, making Ah Lian not sure what to do.

But today Ah Lian wants to treat guests, after all, Tian Luo has been anxious about her affairs for the past two days.

Tian Luo muttered a few words, but didn't say anything more, but she thoughtfully chose the dining hall in Jiuxiao Pavilion instead of going to the nearby restaurant.

The two made another appointment with Xiao Zao and went to the dining hall together.

Lining up for lunch, when it was Ah Lian's turn, Ah Lian picked out a few dishes that Tian Luo and Xiao Zao liked to eat, prepared to pay the money, and said in shock to the person who cooked for her: "Meng, Mengji Immortal! "

Ah Lian didn't recognize him at first. When Immortal Mengji was in Mingyue Tower, he was dressed in a very elegant way, with golden glitter all over his body, which was completely different from the way he is dressed now.

Immortal Mengji also recognized Ah Lian, and said kindly, "Hey, Xiao Lian."

Ah Lian nodded and asked, "Is Immortal Mengji experiencing life?"

Immortal Mengji had known Ah Lian not long ago, but he liked this simple little girl very much. He told the truth: "Mingyue Tower went bankrupt, and I had nowhere to go, so I asked a friend to find an errand here."

Falling from the clouds overnight, I am afraid that no one can bear it. Ah Lian was not at all discouraged when he saw Immortal Mengji's smile, and he was able to regain his strength so quickly, he would definitely make a comeback in the future. Ah Lian comforted: "Yes. It's good to regain confidence, Immortal Mengji, if you need my help in the future, just call me."

When she was in Mingyue Tower, Immortal Mengji treated her well and showed her kindness. Although she didn't do this job for a long time, she still remembered it in her heart.

Compared with those drinking and drinking friends that he usually hangs out with, Immortal Meng Ji was even more touched, with a wave of the spoon, he added two more chicken legs to Ah Lian, winked at her, and whispered: "This is not considered money. "

There were still a lot of people queuing up for dinner, Ah Lian was not too shy, and thanked him.

It was the turn of the disciples behind.

The disciple saw everything in his eyes, only thought that Immortal Mengji was generous, and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. Unexpectedly, it was his turn, but saw Immortal Mengji waving a large spoon, and after scooping up a spoonful, he kept shaking, and with three or two strokes, he accurately shook off the meat in the dish.

The disciple finally couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Immortal, don't shake your hands, you will lose all my flesh."

Immortal Mengji glared angrily, and immediately shook his face: "If you like to eat or not, get out if you don't."

Silver carp is a herbivore, and usually only likes to eat some algae, and eats only vegetarian dishes in the dining hall of Jiuxiao Pavilion, so he distributed the two chicken legs to Tian Luo and Xiao Zao. Tian Luo and Xiao Zao were used to being taken care of by Ah Lian, and they knew her tastes, so they didn't refuse.

"...Is anyone here?"

Hearing a man's voice, the three people in the same seat raised their eyes together, facing the tall, tall, dark-skinned man standing by the table, Ah Lian was the first to call out: "Brother Bailu."

White Sturgeon smiled shyly and said, "Can I sit here?"

Originally, the three of them were seated together, Tian Luo and Xiao Zao sat facing each other, Ah Lian sat beside Tian Luo, and Bai Yu wanted to sit, naturally facing Ah Lian.

Ah Lian remembered the day of the competition, and was grateful in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Yes." Seeing Bai Yu sitting down, Ah Lian said, "I haven't thanked Brother Bai Yu for what happened that day."

White Sturgeon smiled and said: "It's nothing." Then he said, "I heard you can stay?"

Ah Lian didn't know why Bai Yu's news was so well-informed, she didn't ask carefully, and nodded, "Yes."

White Sturgeon didn't ask the reason either. He took a deep look at her with his dark eyes, then lowered his eyes, and said softly: "... that's good."

The white sturgeon is the largest fish and also the strongest. Naturally, its appetite is larger than other men, and it quickly ate the rice that was piled up like a small hill in front of it. Thinking of something, he glanced at Ah Lian, who was eating so well, his cheeks felt slightly hot for a while.

After finishing the meal, Bai Yu asked: "Fathead Yu, we are going to be divided into departments soon, have you decided which department to choose?"

Ah Lian didn't answer, but Tian Luo took the initiative to tilt her head and said, "We are aquatic products, so we naturally choose the water system. Does the white sturgeon want to choose something else?"

Tian Luo was here to fool around. When a new student first enters school, regardless of department, they have to learn the magic of metal, wood, water, fire, earth and five elements to lay a solid foundation, and then choose the department they are good at in the future. Although Tian Luo and Ah Lian had poor backgrounds, it was easy to learn water spells, and the ones who got scolded every time were the fire spells taught by Venerable Chongxu. Now that she has officially become a disciple of Jiuxiao Pavilion, and can finally choose to be parted, Tian Luo is naturally anxious to escape the clutches of Venerable Chongxu, so she naturally chooses water spells without hesitation.

White Sturgeon said: "Yes. I plan to choose the fire element."

As soon as these words fell, even Xiao Zao, who had been silent all this time, was a little shocked. With her magic skills, she didn't dare to choose another department rashly, but listened to Xiao Bai's words and chose her own wood department. However, Xiao Zao also has some understanding of the five elements of Jiuxiao Pavilion. Among the gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the strongest is the fire element, while the water element is the weakest. To practice water spells, you only need to be diligent, but fire spells, in addition to hard work, also need talent. Naturally, the future achievements of the fire spells are beyond the reach of the water spells.

Xiao Zao persuaded in a low voice: "Fire magic is not easy to practice, you should think about it again."

White Sturgeon smiled politely, "Well, I know, but I've thought it through very clearly."

Ah Lian stared blankly at the white sturgeon in front of him, not knowing what to make for a moment.

As it happened, several new disciples sitting at the table next to them were also discussing other issues about choosing a department.

One of them was Huo Yin who had fought against her, and when he saw her, he smiled at her. The others, looking at their luxurious attire, could tell that most of them were descendants of the heavens.

"... We people in the heavens naturally choose fire spells. Those who are not talented and promising only go to water spells. My father and king have already told me that the children of our family have been studying fire spells since ancient times. Only sissies go to the water system." It was the nephew of Emperor Dongji who spoke.

Another person said: "And I've heard that Ronglin Shangshen will come to Jiuxiao Pavilion to teach, and he will teach new disciples."

"But really?"

"What my grandfather told me is certainly true. It has been a long time since Shangshen Rong Lin came to teach at Jiuxiao Pavilion, and this is the first time in thousands of years to teach new disciples. It is a fire spell, if we can let him give some private advice then, then we will not be in vain to visit Jiuxiao Pavilion."
