"Yes, that's Senior Sister Xiao Zhuer." Haiyue nodded.
Then she continued: "Sister Ruling, don't you know? In fact, the ultra-power star pattern that Senior Sister Xiao took out at the Qingpu student graduation ceremony was really defective, and it was Brother Qin who helped to modify it."
"He also knows about star patterns?" Zhao Ruling asked with wide eyes.
"Of course I understand. Brother Qin said that his greatest skill is star pattern learning."
Zhao Ruling fell into deep thought, his brows gradually furrowed.
"What's wrong, Sister Ruling, is there something wrong?" Haiyue asked upon seeing this.
"No problem, I just want to think of something." Zhao Ruling waved his hand and said.
Not long after, Qin Xiao and Haishan walked out of Qianping Academy.
All four exams were completed, and Qin Xiao got full marks in all four without any suspense.
Haishan was slightly deficient in terms of agility and speed, but this did not prevent him from getting satisfactory scores and continuing to apply for Songhua College.
Zhao Ruling finally declined Haiyue's invitation to celebrate, and stayed in front of Qianping Academy after Qin Xiao and others left.
Soon, Huyange squeezed out from the crowd and found Zhao Ruling dejectedly.
"How are you, how are you getting along with Qin Xiao?" Zhao Ruling asked patiently.
Huyange scratched his head again, and calmly recounted his performance during the exam.
Zhao Ruling was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to finally take a breath.
"Is this what you understand by getting along well?" Zhao Ruling asked curiously.
Huyange could only giggle, rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Miss, I only know how to practice and fight. I really don't understand other things."
Zhao Ruling covered his forehead, exhaled a long breath and said, "Let's go, come back with me first."
Huyange didn't dare to ask where exactly he was going back, so he could only lower his head and walk forward with Zhao Ruling.
On the way, Zhao Ruling learned about Huyange's situation.
Generally speaking, the elite children of the Huyan family almost never take the path of studying. They basically practice within the clan and go directly to the battlefield when they are old enough.
The reason Huyange was able to take the exam was because he won the first place in the clan competition.
Because I have always longed to compete with those talented students in advanced colleges, I proposed the reward I wanted to learn from.
After learning about Hu Yange's situation, Zhao Ruling suddenly stopped.
"Huyange, can I make a deal with you?"
"If you have any orders, miss, just tell me. I will do whatever I can."
"No, no, no, we are not in a master-servant relationship. Don't always be so polite to me."
"Sooner or later, don't worry about these details."
"It's different." Zhao Ruling repeated solemnly: "It's different."
Seeing Zhao Ruling's serious look, Huyange suddenly thought of some internal situations about the Zhao family.
Zhao Ruling's father, Zhao Lin, has always opposed the children of the Huyan family to work as dead assistants for the children of the Zhao family, but this idea has always been opposed by the two families.
Huyange himself is not opposed to being a Deadpool. This is the education he has received since he was a child.
He even felt that Zhao Lin objected to the children of the Huyan family working as dead assistants for the children of the Zhao family, just to alienate the Huyan family.
After all, the Zhao family has provided extremely huge resources to the Huyan family over the years. Without the support of the Zhao family, the Huyan family would not have enough ability to concentrate on developing martial arts.
Thinking of this, Huyange suddenly asked: "Miss, do you also think that our Huyan family is a burden to the Zhao family?"
"No, don't get me wrong." Zhao Ruling was shocked when he heard this, and quickly explained: "What we need are true allies, not diehard loyalists."
"What's the difference? We all do things together anyway." Huyange looked puzzled.
Zhao Ruling hesitated to speak. After thinking for a while, he decided to give up explaining the matter and instead talked about his own plan.
The deal Zhao Ruling wanted to make was to fully support Huyange's education and ensure that he would not go to the Zhao family to become a deadpool.
Her only request is that Huyange must find a way to establish a friendship with Qin Xiao, and it is best to work with Qin Xiao.
The so-called working with Qin Xiao does not mean being a bodyguard for Qin Xiao, let alone a deadpool. She just wants Huyange to become Qin Xiao's friend.
"Miss, do you want me to secretly learn advanced skills from Qin Xiao? Or steal something else?" Hu Yange took the initiative to guess after listening to Zhao Ruling's arrangement.
"No, I just want you to be friends with him, that's all." Zhao Ruling corrected him.
"Then what is the purpose of doing this?" Huyange became increasingly puzzled.
"Just be friends." Zhao Ruling repeated at last.
In fact, her truest thought is that with Hu Yange's talent, if she can really become friends with Qin Xiao, their future development will be very good.
When there is really a need in the future, Zhao Ruling can also use Huyange's relationship to establish some cooperation with Qin Xiao.
Just hearing the word friend again, Huyange didn't agree immediately like before.
After thinking for a long time, Huyange said slowly: "Friends are not meant for trading."
"At the moment, I just want to discuss things with Qin Xiao. As for whether we can become friends, it's all a matter of chance. I can't study his preferences in order to become his friend."
"If he is really worth dating, I will do anything for him, even sacrifice my life for him."
"If he is not from the same group, then he is just an opponent I want to challenge."
At the end, Huyange stood up straight and said, "Miss, I'm afraid I can't accept this deal."
Looking at Hu Yange's firm gaze, Zhao Ruling realized that some of his ideas were really too naive.
When parting, Huyange suddenly said to Zhao Ruling: "Miss, actually I think if you want to be friends with Qin Xiao, just go and tell him directly. Some things are not as complicated as you think."
Zhao Ruling, who was already a little frustrated, was suddenly lectured by Hu Yange, a social idiot, and couldn't help complaining: "Okay, okay, you are amazing. How come you do so many idiotic things when you are so amazing?"
Zhao Ruling regretted it as soon as he said this. After all, it was the first day he and Huyange had met. If it weren't for the special relationship between the two families, they might not be able to speak a word to each other in their entire lives.
Huyange was not annoyed. He scratched his head as usual and said, "It's different. I want to discuss with him, but I don't want to be friends with him yet."
"Then why do you have to spar with him? Aren't there many strong men?" He simply said it, and Zhao Ruling felt no burden.
Huyange heard this and said seriously: "If what the young lady said about him is true, then he is definitely my most desired opponent."
"A person who can use basic mortal combat skills to retreat unharmed from a horde of beasts. His understanding of combat and cultivation is unparalleled."
"Fighting with this kind of person, you can definitely discover many flaws in yourself, which is better than any hard training."
Listening to Huyange's explanation, Zhao Ruling nodded empathetically, and finally she said: "Then you should try your own way first. If it doesn't work, after he is done with this period of time, I will try my best to ask Haiyue to help. Let’s match it up for you.”
"Okay, I'll give it a try first." Huyange thanked him and turned to leave.
In the military base, brother and sister Qin Xiao and Haishan briefly celebrated and then began high-intensity training.
The exam at Qianping College was just a test of the waters, and the exam at Songhua College two days later was truly a test.
Songhua Academy is a B-level academy, and they have only one exam item, the individual arena battle.
Those who can apply for B-level colleges must either graduate from B-level secondary colleges or pass the C-level college entrance examination.
These people must have passed the basics, and naturally they will not take the test on basic things such as strength and agility.
But it was precisely because the exam at Songhua College was an individual competition that Qin Xiaocai had been worried.
Seeing Qin Xiao frowning all the time, Haishan asked, "Are you worried about something?"
Haishan was a little confused as to why Qin Xiao was worried. With their current strength, it would not be too difficult to pass the Songhua Academy exam.
It's not that Haishan's mentality has expanded after his strength has improved, but that even if the B-level academy is a better student, most of the students who apply there are only at or above the even star realm.
The Songhua College exam is not determined by one battle, and there is no requirement that you must get first place to pass.
The exam rules for Songhua Academy's individual arena competition are relatively loose. The exam adopts a double-elimination elimination system, and it is the most relaxed double-elimination system.
All students who take the exam will be randomly matched with opponents.
As long as you can achieve three consecutive victories in individual arena battles, you will be deemed to have passed the exam.
If you lose a game, you will not be eliminated immediately, but you can still match with new opponents. Only students who have lost two consecutive games will be eliminated directly.
As long as you can win three games in a row before losing two games in a row, you will still be considered to have passed the exam.
Under such exam rules, as long as they don't encounter strong enemies one after another, there won't be any big problems.
Thinking of encountering strong opponents one after another, Haishan gradually realized that something was wrong. He immediately asked: "Are you worried that the Zhou family will play tricks during the exam and forcefully match us with strong opponents?"
Then Haishan himself denied this speculation and continued: "The college examination is hosted by the military. No matter how powerful the Zhou family is on Elan, they cannot control the examination."
Qin Xiao nodded first, and then shook his head.
Normally speaking, local forces will definitely not be able to interfere during the college examination.
But Qin Xiao knew very well that Sun Dianchen's control on Elan was not as strong as it seemed.
Regarding matters outside the military base, Sun Dianchen was relatively powerless in many aspects.
If the Zhou family is determined to interfere with it, Sun Dianchen may not be able to stop it, or Sun Dianchen may not care about such trivial matters.
Qin Xiao was able to know these secrets on Elan because of the "advanced memory" in his mind, which was not revealed to him by Sun Dianchen in private.
After all, he had nothing to do with Sun Dianchen. The last time he came to the rescue was probably just for Xiao Zhuer's sake.
He probably wouldn't interfere in anything other than a duel to the death.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said lightly: "Everything will be arranged by me for the big exam in two days."
