Song Yuan's mansion, from the main entrance to the inner hall where he is now, follows the route outlined by the courtyard corridor, a total of 224 steps.
There were no servants along the way, and no disciples of Song Yuan. Qin Yue walked on this route alone, step by step, getting slower and slower, but never stopped.
After two hundred and twenty-four steps, Qin Yue walked for less than half an hour and finally arrived outside the inner hall door. Behind him, a series of shallow footprints were left on the hard stone road.
Qin Yue looked into the hall and slowly bowed: "I have met Academician Song."
Song Yuan nodded slightly, his expression cold, showing no emotion or anger.
"Liu Wu, can I take him away?" Qin Yue asked.
"I said, whatever you want, just come in and get it yourself." Song Yuan said.
The two hundred and twenty-four steps are so difficult to walk, and it will obviously be even more difficult to step into this inner hall. What's more, there are two masters from Tianxuan Peak, Song Yuan and Zhan Ren, sitting here together.
Qin Yue did not pretend to be relaxed, his expression became serious. He didn't move immediately, and the atmosphere inside and outside the room seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then, he moved.
He took every step of the previous two hundred and twenty-four steps very slowly and carefully. But now, he took the step very quickly into the more dangerous inner hall.
In an instant, countless figures of Qin Yue were seen walking continuously from outside the inner hall door to the hall.
Before he could see him stop, he had already walked a dozen steps, moving at high speed, leaving a string of afterimages in the air.
One step forward, one step back.
He entered quickly, but retreated even faster, as fast as a ray of light. In less than a blink of an eye, Qin Yue had already retreated back to the door, but there was already Liu Wu beside him.
"Thank you, Academician Song." Qin Yue bowed again, and a string of blood beads fell from his neck and throat, fell to the ground and spread into several blood flowers.
"I won't send it off." Song Yuan, who was sitting still in the hall, said calmly.
Qin Yue turned around and left. Liu Wu lost an arm, and Song Yuan had no intention of getting it back for him. He didn't ask for it. He covered the bleeding wound with his other hand and followed Qin Yue while enduring the pain.
The two quickly left the inner hall of Song Yuan's house. Only two masters and disciples, Song Yuan and Zhan Ren, were left.
Zhan Ren looked at his teacher, but Song Yuan was looking at his right hand. He was silent for a while before speaking.
"I often hear that the eldest son of the Qin family is practicing at Nantian College, so the family's blood inheritance abilities are not as good as Qin Qi, the second son of the Qin family. I don't think so."
"What a flying light." He sighed. This kind of blood-inherited superpower cannot be cultivated unless Jiang has a family bloodline, no matter how high his level is.
A confrontation that looked calm at first glance, but was actually extremely dangerous, passed like this.
As for the outcome, the two parties have their own minds clear about it.
Qin Yue seemed to have rescued Liu Wu, but he knew very well that it was only because Song Yuan only attacked him once and the speed change between his advance and retreat. The success prevented Song Yuan's attack from being completely accurate.
But he could have continued to take action, but he didn't do so.
Qin Yue walked out of Song Yuan's house and touched the wound on his neck, feeling lingering fear.
"What a creation out of nothing." He admired sincerely, and then glanced at Liu Wu beside him.
"Is it okay?" he asked.
Liu Wu was silent, his face was filled with guilt instead of pain.
Because he finally revealed the secret, the secret that might affect the national destiny of their Xuanjun Empire. Because he couldn't bear Song Yuan's cruelty, he spoke out. He thought he would die, but he never expected that anyone would come to save him.
Telling him this secret made him act cautiously. It's Qin Qi, the second son of the Qin family.
After he leaked this secret, it was Qin Yue, the eldest son of Qin, who rescued him.
Liu Wu had no face to see anyone, at this moment. He really hoped that Qin Yue didn't come to save him.
"I worked very hard to save you. Are you asking for death?" Qin Yue said while treating the wound on his throat. A small piece of flesh disappeared from here. It is conceivable that if Qin Yue's movements were slower, a section of his blood vessels and trachea might have disappeared.
"Damn it..." Liu Wu said.
"This is not a good idea." Qin Yue said.
"Let the eldest son do whatever he wants." Liu Wu knelt down on one knee and said no unnecessary nonsense. I really want him to die. Why did Qin Yue need to come to save him? He will be rescued, and there will naturally be places where he is needed.
"Let's take care of the wound first. I heard that Yan Ge's medical skills are very good?" Qin Yue said.
"Yes, very good." Liu Wu said.
"I just need to take a look." Qin Yue said.
"What about... Lu Ping?" Liu Wu hesitated, and finally asked with great shame. He completely messed up Lu Ping's matter.
"Lu Ping... let's take a closer look before talking." Qin Yue said.
A sword that shocked the sky and hurt the clouds on Yaoguang Peak, and an even more astonishing punch that penetrated the Seven Kills Hall.
Lu Ping's strength seemed to be bottomless. Is this the secret that was stolen from him?
Qin Yue shook his head. He couldn't think of anything and could only wait and see.
Lu Ping had also walked down Tianshu Peak at this time, and those guarding the bottom of the peak were still the two Tianshu disciples from before. But when I saw Lu Pingping again, his expression was completely different from before. In front of the inheritors of the divine weapons, the superiority of the disciples of Tianshu Peak cannot be mentioned at all.
The two of them opened their mouths, but in the past, they would have called out a senior brother to a successor of the divine weapon. Senior brothers and sisters of Beidou Academy can follow the order of entry when there is not much difference. However, if there is a significant difference in status and strength, the stronger one should usually be respected. In this case, the title of senior brother or sister is more of respect than seniority.
But after all, Lu Ping was just a new boy who had been hospitalized for no more than a month, and the two of them couldn't even call each other senior brothers. Just as he was in a daze with his mouth open, Lu Ping had already walked past the two of them.
The two of them also had all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, but they could only watch Lu Pinghe's back, walking away gradually towards Beishan New Courtyard.
"Lu Ping is back!"
I don't know who it was, but he hurried into the hospital from outside and brought the news. The newcomers in the first hospital were suddenly panicked. Most of the people on their side despised Lu Ping. Now that he has reached the sky in one step, not to mention the status that he will soon rise to after receiving the inheritance of the divine weapon, his strength alone is enough to scare them.
For a moment, everyone no longer wanted to go out to congratulate him, so they just pretended not to see him. In the end, each took their own position. Some went back to their rooms and stayed behind closed doors, while others went out of the yard and waited for Lu Ping, who was not far away, to come towards them. After seeing Lin Tianbiao among them, everyone suddenly felt much calmer. In addition, I also admire Lin Tianbiao very much. Everyone regarded Lu Ping as a waste, but Lin Tianbiao was willing to make friends. This is the so-called discernment of heroes!
While he was thinking wildly, Lu Ping had already walked closer. Lin Tianbiao met him, and the others followed closely. With sincere joy on his face, Lin Tianbiao was the first to speak: "You guys are so surprising."
Lu Ping smiled. Others are not that familiar with Lu Ping and cannot make such a joke. No matter how talkative he usually was, he became very insensitive at this moment and said congratulations mechanically.
"Thank you. Thank you." Lu Ping expressed his gratitude one by one, and there was no emotional fluctuation. He said thank you and walked away, and soon he had passed through the gate of the first courtyard.
Then the second hospital, the third hospital, the fourth hospital...
People from each hospital gathered outside the door to congratulate Lu Ping on his return.
With an unchanging expression and an unchanging "thank you", Lu Ping finally passed the fourth hospital and returned to the fifth hospital.
The fifth courtyard was deserted. Except for the ginkgo in the corner of the courtyard and Huo Ying on the bamboo chair, there were no living creatures. Moreover, the ginkgo trees had lost many leaves in autumn and were somewhat bare. Huo Ying had always been half-dead, but these two did not show much anger.
But Lu Ping felt that this deserted courtyard was very warm.
A kind of warmth that he had only felt when he was in Zhanfeng Academy, with Su Tang and the dean.
"I'm back." Lu Ping walked into the yard and said.

I have to go out again tomorrow... (To be continued.)
