A gentle breeze blew.
That tall and graceful figure, with fluttering skirt and flying ponytail under the bright sunshine, is full of youthful vitality and beauty.
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly greeted him.
He suddenly noticed that the girl's face looked wrong, and his heart suddenly sank.
Nightingale came to him with an ugly expression on her face.
Luo Qingfeng looked at her quietly, waiting for her explanation without urging her.
No matter what happened, he had to stay calm.
Nightingale's eyes turned red, and her voice was choked as she said, "I didn't get merit points, and I was reprimanded and punished. You didn't get any rewards either."
Luo Qingfeng reached out and held her hand, trying to keep himself calm, and said, "What's going on?"
With tears of grievance in her eyes, Nightingale said: "They said that I had revealed the mission plan to you before I went to Ningguo Mansion, which violated hospital and team rules. The situation was very serious, so they would not give me any reward. You also want to punish me. You joined the Wind Team after receiving the mission, and you didn’t report anything in the hospital before, so you can’t be rewarded..."
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't cry, we will think of another way."
Nightingale cried: "I'm sorry, I'm useless..."
Luo Qingfeng gently held her in his arms and said, "What are you talking about? If it's useless, then it's the man who's useless. It's me who's useless. I've made you feel wronged."
As soon as these words came out, Nightingale cried even harder.
Luo Qingfeng raised his head and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the bridge.
Tang Wu stood there, looking at him with a guilty look. When he looked over, Fang came over and said, "A Feng, A Ying, I want to ask if you have offended Yuan Tong and Deacon Sun Changshan. ?”
Hearing these two names, Luo Qingfeng's eyes turned cold.
I see!
Tang Wu came over and said: "When I went to the reward department, they were also there. Although Aying's incident did have some violations, it was not so serious. Such things have happened before, and the rewards and merit points were all No less. And when I returned to the hospital to inquire in the morning, several teachers also said that it was no problem. After all, we have indeed completed this case, and the demons have been eliminated, and two of them have been eliminated. Afeng, you He is the biggest contributor, and there is no way he will not be rewarded..."
At this point, she frowned and said: "But when I went there at noon, Deacon Zhang from the Rewards Department immediately said seriously that Aying had violated the rules. Teacher Yuan Tong and Deacon Sun Changshan also said beside them, saying If such violations are not punished, many disciples will be killed in the future... They are very serious. Not only will they not reward A Feng, they will not give merit points to A Ying, but they will also punish A Ying one hundred taels of silver."
Luo Qingfeng's face turned cold and he clenched his fists.
Tang Wu looked at him with a guilty look on his face and said, "A Feng, I'm sorry... I have tried my best to argue with the reason and went to several teachers, but to no avail. Teacher Jiang secretly told me that A Ying should have been offended. Because of Teacher Yuan Tong.”
Nightingale was trembling all over, not with sadness, but with anger.
She wanted to tell the matter, but lowered her head, not knowing how to speak.
There was silence for a while.
Luo Qingfeng's face regained his composure and he said: "Captain, it's okay, I don't blame you. If the reward is gone, it will be gone. I will think of other ways."
Tang Wu sighed and said, "The rewards department has stamped it, and the result of this mission cannot be changed."
Then she added: "Aying was punished with one hundred taels of silver, and I have already paid it for her. This is what you deserve, and it is my personal compensation for you. As for other merit points, hey, there is nothing I can do."
Nightingale wiped the tears on her face and said, "Captain, it's okay, this matter has nothing to do with you. I will return the one hundred taels of silver to you."
Tang Wu shook his head and said: "Don't say repayment. If you say this, I will be even more ashamed. These one hundred taels will be regarded as my reward to Afeng. This mission was all completed by Afeng. One hundred taels is already very little, and I can’t afford anything else, and I already feel very guilty. If you still don’t accept this one hundred taels, then I, the captain, have no shame in doing it anymore.”
Nightingale heard what she said and said nothing.
Luo Qingfeng did not refuse anymore and said: "Thank you very much, captain."
Tang Wu smiled bitterly, and when he was about to say something else, he shook his head and said, "You guys chat, I'm leaving first. I'll go find other deacons and ask to see if there is any compensation."
After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.
On the stone bridge, the two of them looked at her back silently and said nothing.
Nightingale was in a daze, with a look of despair on her face.
The things that I had so much hope and expectation for, I thought would be resolved today, but unexpectedly everything came to nothing.
Luo Qingfeng held her hand and comforted her softly: "Sister Nightingale, it's okay. The merit points are not enough. We will just do the mission next time. As for the money, I will earn it again."
Nightingale lowered her head and said nothing.
The two stood silently on the bridge for a while, then separated and returned to their respective courtyards.
Luo Qingfeng went to the training ground and entered an empty courtyard. After closing the door, he took out the Demon Slayer Blade and began to practice his sword skills.
"Uh-huh!"
A round of silver moon sword light flew out, and the wooden man in front was instantly split into two.
He raised the broken knife in his hand again and slashed at the other wooden man. All the anger in his heart turned into the power pouring into the blade!
"Snapped!"
The wooden man was torn apart in the explosion of sword light!
In the evening.
Luo Qingfeng put away the knife, washed it by the well water, and then went directly to the library.
After entering the door, Granny Ning was still leaning against the corner, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything and walked directly up the stairs.
Grandma Ning opened her eyes, frowned slightly and said, "Boy, what's wrong with you?"
She clearly felt that something was wrong with this kid's aura.
Did she find out that the young lady was lying to her and want to go up and do something to the young lady?
Luo Qingfeng turned around and said, "I have something to see Senior Bai."
Grandma Ning said nothing.
Luo Qingfeng went directly to the sixth floor.
At this time, Bai Ruofei was sitting in front of the window on the sixth floor, looking at the "Thousand Illusion Disguise" technique that he had transcribed.
Luo Qingfeng walked to her side and said: "Senior Bai..."
Bai Ruofei raised her head but did not speak.
Luo Qingfeng told her everything about this mission and today's events, and said, "Senior Bai, is there any other way to get her to come over?"
Bai Ruofei seemed to think for a moment and shook her head slightly: "I can't control the affairs of the South Campus."
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment, looked at her and said: "Okay, then I hope that Senior Bai can give me three pieces of gold tomorrow. I need it now, I really need it."
Bai Ruofei glanced at him again, took out three black things from her sleeves, put them on the table, and said calmly: "I don't have any gold. I'll give you three pieces of black gold first."
Luo Qingfeng was stunned, looking at the black gold on the table, hesitated for a moment, took only one piece, and said: "One piece is enough, there are more."
The value of one piece of black gold is not comparable to that of three pieces of gold. Although he is poor, he cannot be too greedy.
"Thank you, Senior Bai!"
He didn't say anything more, put away Xuanjin, and turned to leave.
Bai Ruofei silently watched his back going downstairs, the light in her eyes flickering slightly.
After a while.
Granny Ning walked up and said, "Miss, that kid has murderous intent."
As she said that, she glanced at the two pieces of black gold remaining on the table.
Bai Ruofei also looked at the two pieces of black gold.
Granny Ning sighed softly and said: "Although that boy always takes advantage of the lady, he is actually a very good character. And he takes advantage of the lady. In fact, it is because the lady is so charming that ordinary people stay around the lady. , I can’t stand it at all, that kid’s concentration is already very good.”
Bai Ruofei lowered her head and continued to look at the exercises on the table.
Grandma Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, are you sure you don't want to help him?"
Bai Ruofei said calmly: "He will solve it himself."
After a pause, she added: "Isn't it enough to give him the exercises?"
Granny Ning glanced at her again and said: "The young lady really values that boy. Yes, that boy really needs to be sharpened so that he can be sharper. If he has to rely on others to help him with everything, then he will never be able to do anything. They won’t grow up.”
Bai Ruofei was silent again and said, "Go back tonight and bring some gold."
Grandma Ning asked: "Really or false?"
Bai Ruofei frowned slightly, looked at her, and said, "Do you think I look like a liar?"
Granny Ning said quickly: "Of course it's not like that! Who dares to say that the young lady looks like a liar? I'll slap his head off!"
After saying that, he quickly retreated.
On the horizon, the sun sets.
When Luo Qingfeng arrived at the gate of the Demon Suppressing Academy, Nightingale was already waiting there.
When the two met, they both had a forced smile on their faces.
Neither wanted the other to worry.
"Sister Nightingale, I'll show you something nice later."
Luo Qingfeng walked up to her and whispered.
Nightingale asked: "What good thing?"
Luo Qingfeng glanced around and said, "Let's go home first."
Nightingale said "Hmm", her eyes became gentle, and she secretly repeated in her heart: Well, go home...
The two of them walked on the street at dusk, neither of them talking.
"I'm going to buy some food."
When passing the vegetable market, Nightingale walked in.
Luo Qingfeng followed silently.
The two bought some meat, vegetables, and some apples and came out of the vegetable market.
"Don't worry about money. I still have some savings here."
Nightingale comforted.
Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Did you save it for Ah Ya's treatment?"
Nightingale did not answer. After a while, Fang sighed and said, "Aya's disease cannot be cured for the time being. We still need a lot of rare and expensive medicinal materials."
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said: "Sister Nightingale, when you go back later, you write a list and I will take a look."
Nightingale turned to look at him and said, "You don't need to worry."
She naturally knew what he meant, but she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to collect all the medicinal materials.
Even, it is impossible in a lifetime.
Luo Qingfeng said: "Of course I have to worry, why can't I worry?"
Nightingale said: "Why are you worried? Do you like that little girl?"
Luo Qingfeng said frankly: "Of course I like it."
Nightingale stopped and looked at him.
Luo Qingfeng said quickly: "I regard her as my sister, of course I like her."
Nightingale snorted and continued walking forward, muttering: "Who knows if you really just want to treat her as your sister, maybe like grandma said, you just want to..."
Luo Qingfeng said: "What are you thinking about? What did grandma say?"
Nightingale's cheeks turned red, she glared at him and said, "I didn't say anything, don't even think about it!"
Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and guessed: "Two sisters?"
Nightingale paused, stared at him and said, "Okay, Luo Qingfeng, you really have this idea, don't you?"
Luo Qingfeng spread his hands and said, "I didn't, I just made a casual guess."
Nightingale immediately sneered, and when she was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from in front of her: "Hey, Nightingale, are you going home?"
The two turned to look.
A man in a blue robe with long hair came over from the front, with a surprised expression on his face.
This person's name is Wang Lin, and he is the captain of Nightingale's previous team.
Naturally, Luo Qingfeng also knew him.
When he was still living in the Song family, Captain Wang personally threatened him.
When Nightingale saw the other party, she behaved indifferently, but still politely said: "Senior Brother Wang."
Wang Lin came closer, smiled bitterly, and said: "I called you captain at first, but now I can only call you senior brother. Nightingale, congratulations on joining the Wind Team. I heard that the Wind Team has two masters from the Eight Stars in the Sky, which is really good."
Nightingale said calmly: "Thank you."
Wang Lin glanced at Luo Qingfeng next to her again and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that we all took it wrong at the beginning. Junior Brother Luo, I haven't congratulated you for joining the Demon Suppressing Academy."
Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang."
Wang Lin nodded, glanced at the two of them again, said nothing more, and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, Nightingale, there is a mission in two days, do you want to participate?"
Nightingale was about to refuse when he added: "The other party is a wealthy businessman in the city. I heard that just for those who want to go, they will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. If they help the other party successfully kill the demon in the house, each person will be rewarded with another one." One hundred taels of gold. Of course, there are also merit point rewards."
As soon as these words came out, the words of rejection that Nightingale was about to say suddenly stopped.
She thought for a moment and said, "How many merit points will be rewarded?"
Wang Lin thought for a while and said: "It is said that the minimum is twenty points, and those with more merit will increase."
Nightingale was immediately moved.
She was still thirty points away from completing the mission and successfully left the South Campus.
Wang Lin looked at her and said: "A total of six people are needed. Only four people have signed up for the time being. It is estimated that by tomorrow, there will be enough people."
Nightingale asked: "Who is the captain?"
Wang Lin said: "You also know Zhou Minghui from the second team. She is in the realm of the Seven Stars in the Open Sky. The others are also around the realm of the Five Stars in the Open Sky. They all went to form a temporary team."
There was a hint of vigilance in Nightingale's eyes, and she said, "Is there Yuan Fang?"
"Yuan Fang?"
Wang Lin was startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "How could he be there? He is the captain of the Divine Leopard Team and is in the realm of the Eight Stars in the Sky. How could he join such a temporary team?"
Nightingale heard this and was about to agree when she glanced at Luo Qingfeng next to her.
Luo Qingfeng asked: "Senior Brother Wang, can I also join?"
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Wang Lin's face, and he said: "Junior Brother Luo, I heard that you are from the North Campus. Although you can indeed join, I'm afraid it would be a little... inconvenient to go to the courtyard to report."
Luo Qingfeng nodded and said without saying anything more, "Okay, I'm just asking casually."
Nightingale hesitated again and then said, "Senior Brother Wang, I am willing to join. Please tell Senior Sister Zhou for me."
Wang Lin smiled and said: "Okay, I will go and tell her tonight. You can go to the courtyard tomorrow and just sign the contract."
Nightingale said: "Thank you very much."
Wang Lin didn't say anything more and left quickly.
When Nightingale saw him walking away, her eyes flickered and she said, "Let's go home."
After that, he walked towards the alley.
Luo Qingfeng followed behind, turned his head, glanced at the walking figure, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
The two soon returned home.
Grandma went into the kitchen to fill the firewood with firewood, and Ah Ya helped pick vegetables.
Luo Qingfeng said: "Sister Nightingale, I will go to the room to practice for a while."
When Nightingale heard this, she didn't ask any questions and said, "When the meal is ready, I'll call you from the window."
Luo Qingfeng nodded and entered the room.
Lock the door and close the windows.
By this time, the sun had set and night had fallen.
Luo Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating and concentrating, and then her soul left her body and flew to the roof.
Then, he passed through the roof and flew out of the small courtyard.
With the previous long-distance flight and tracking, this time it became easier.
Flying in mid-air, you can see the flow of people in the street below at a glance.
He quickly chased in the direction Wang Lin left.
After a while, I finally saw that familiar figure.
Wang Lin turned into an alley, glanced behind him, then walked through the alley and onto another street.
He wandered around the nearby streets and alleys for a while, then suddenly turned into a secluded alley, and then came to the door of a house.
Luo Qingfeng looked down from a high position and could clearly see two big characters written on the door of the mansion: Yuan Mansion.
really.
A cold light appeared in his eyes, which slowly descended.
