What woke up Ren Zihua the next day was not the sun at noon, but the mobile phone lying next to his pillow.
Xi Meng's fifth phone call finally woke him up.
He answered the phone in a daze. The other party first asked anxiously where he and Feng Xiaolan had been in the morning. He said that the head teacher Yao Suwu had been anxious all morning because he could not contact them. Then he told him that there was a big meeting in the afternoon. There was an important meeting that he and Feng Xiaolan had to go to.
"It would be nice to know you two are okay, it really scares me to death."
After hanging up the phone, Ren Zihua turned his head and looked at Feng Xiaolan, who was still sleeping soundly. He suddenly recalled a dream he had last night in his mind.
In that illusory yet real dream, he returned to the original world.
He dreamed that he was sitting in the classroom in a daze, and sitting next to his seat was the girl who made him think about it day and night.
When he suddenly realized that the dream that suddenly disappeared was so real, two lines of tears slipped down his face without him noticing.
"Hey, I started crying so early in the morning. Do you miss your mother?"
"Zhao Kaifeng..." Ren Zihua then looked at Zhao Kaifeng, who was standing on the balcony with his upper body naked, and his face was full of disbelief, "You were so seriously injured yesterday, and you healed so quickly?"
"That little injury... By the way, I remember I saw Chen Yuyu, the Twelve Swordsman of the Protector of the Country, before I fainted last night. What happened next? You won't start a fight with him, right?" Zhao Kaifeng's originally sleepy eyes suddenly became sharp.
Ren Zihua hurriedly wiped the tears on his face and continued: "Feng Xiaolan fought with him a few times and defeated him."
"You said that boy defeated the Twelve Swordsmen of Protecting the Country?!" Zhao Kaifeng immediately lost his composure and became energetic. He pointed at Feng Xiaolan, who was still sleeping on the bunk below Ren Zihua, and asked loudly, "What the hell did you say? real?"
"Well, although the other party hasn't made any serious moves yet, Feng Xiaolan did defeat Chen Yuyu beautifully at that time." Ren Zi said in a very calm tone, and then got up neatly.
"Damn it...if I hadn't fainted at that time, I should have been the one who defeated Chen Yuyu!"
Zhao Kaifeng's angrily complaining finally woke up Feng Xiaolan, who jumped up from the bed as if from a lifetime ago.
"Oh my God! I actually slept for so long?" He looked at his phone in a panic, and quickly turned his nervous eyes to the two people below, "Why didn't you call me? It's over now, this is it. On the first day of school, I missed class all morning!"
"Don't be nervous, classmate." Ren Zihua put on his white robe and arranged his clothes in front of the mirror opposite the sink. "Aren't we all still here? You're not the only one who didn't go to the classroom this morning."
"It's over, I have a lot of missed calls on my phone...Zhao Kaifeng! Did your injury heal so quickly?" Feng Xiaolan said as he got off the bed, ran to Zhao Kaifeng and carefully observed the pain on his back. Regarding the injury, "It is indeed a high-quality gold medicine, the effect is outrageous."
Zhao Kaifeng clicked his tongue and pushed Feng Xiaolan away from him, then went to find a relatively clean Taoist robe on his messy bed and put it on himself.
"Are you going to the dojo again?" Seeing Zhao Kaifeng's posture as if he was about to go out, Ren Zihua, who was washing up, couldn't help but ask.
"It's none of your business." The former said, took the sword and left the dormitory without looking back.
Seeing Zhao Kaifeng leaving with such determination and ruthlessness, Ren Zihua finally couldn't hold himself back and said, "This boy, we saved him like that yesterday. He is so wolf-hearted!"
"Maybe he has such a inconsistent character, so don't worry about it." Feng Xiaolan put on his Taoist robe and went to the sink to brush his teeth. "What I'm worried about now is that yesterday's incident was so troublesome. Originally, Will the national unified examination scheduled for tomorrow not be held as scheduled?"
"You are still thinking about the exam, after all, that happened just now..." Ren Zihua's pupils staring at the screen of his mobile phone suddenly dilated several times, and he seemed very surprised, "Feng Xiaolan... ....I can’t see the news about yesterday’s incident on my phone!”
However, what shocked Ren Zihua even more was the news that dominated the news headlines on the mobile phone screen - "Sword Master Murong Xiaoxiao defeated the demons in Baofeng Lake!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, but soon he tactfully said to Ren Zihua: "It seems that Yinyue wants to block the news this time... But also, yesterday's news If word gets out about this, it will definitely cause riots.”
...
Zhao Kaifeng, who was walking on the street at this moment, found that all the shops were closed today, and the entire Mo Xi College seemed to be enveloped in a deserted atmosphere.
There was not even any lively noise to be heard in the whole city. Such a dead environment was actually a bit scary.
Through the sight of a black cat lying on the roof, it can be seen that Zhao Kaifeng's current direction does not seem to be towards the gym. As his pace becomes faster and faster, the towering castle palace is already in front of him.
Before they had time to eat anything, Ren Zihua and Feng Xiaolan quickly moved to the sixth floor of the palace through the space magic stone.
Walking into the grand auditorium where the New Year's Eve party was held before, teachers and students from the whole school were gathering here one after another. However, the joyful atmosphere was long gone, and now only the serious and nervous faces of teachers and students were left.
Everyone sat in uneasy silence, seemingly not wanting to say a word to each other.
In this unusually quiet atmosphere, Ren Zihua also felt some unspeakable discomfort in his heart.
He and Feng Xiaolan quickly found the seats in their class. When Yao Suwu, the head teacher, saw the two of them, he first showed an expression of relief, and then immediately became serious.
"What on earth did you two do this morning? Do you know how worried the teacher is about you? Just like that happened yesterday, you two disappeared..."
After being severely scolded by the head teacher, Ren Zihua and Feng Xiaolan were able to take their seats.
Xi Meng, who was originally sitting in the first row, saw the two of them sitting in the last row in despair, and followed them quickly.
Seeing Xi Meng running over quietly, the first thing Ren Zihua noticed was that she seemed to have permed her hair, and the roots of her hair were slightly curled.
"What happened yesterday?" Xi Meng asked without ambiguity as soon as he sat next to Ren Zihua.
"Well, it's a long story." Ren Zihua didn't know whether to tell Xi Meng what happened yesterday, but after hesitating for a moment, he whispered in her ear, "A demon clan attacked the royal city. The purpose seems to be to kidnap Yin Bi, but I think things may not be as simple as they seem."
Xi Meng showed an expression that seemed to understand, and then said: "This morning, the school notified the disciplinary decision of Chen Yi, the former president of Lei Mingyu Guild, and expelled him."
"Is this incident related to what happened yesterday? I heard that that guy is the school director's son. It's really strange that he was expelled like this without any reason."
After listening to Xi Meng's words, Ren Zihua felt that the guy's evil deeds were rewarded with evil consequences. The school's handling of this situation was extremely biased. Before he could answer Xi Meng, Principal Murong Fu finally boarded the room where the lights gathered again. stage.
This time, his expression was very solemn, and the look on his face didn't look good, as if he had just been ill, and his whole person was listless.
"Students, our school can even be said to be our city and our country. Yesterday, we experienced an unprecedented catastrophe. According to statistics from His Majesty's Black Party, a total of 324 innocent citizens lost their lives here last night. Some of them are seven or eight-year-old children with immature faces, some are girls in their prime, some are young people in their prime, and some are old people with gray hair on their temples. When danger comes, they can't even get any warning, and the crazy demons The clan members took their lives without any thought. As the principal of Moxi College, it is difficult for me to say that this is not my responsibility or has nothing to do with me. Here, I have to apologize to my classmates."
Principal Murong's tearful eyes and his choked-up speech caused all the students and teachers in the audience who listened carefully to his speech to fall into a sad mood. Of course, it was hard for people to blame the old man. They could only feel his sense of responsibility and mission that had not been corroded by time from his extremely self-reproaching speech, as well as his love for this college.
"However, I still want to ask everyone to rest assured and return to normal study and life as soon as possible. The college and Emperor Yinyue will unconditionally guarantee everyone's safety."
"Today I summoned all the students and teachers to come to the meeting. Of course, it is not just to relieve everyone's nervousness at this time. There are also some necessary things I want to inform you." Principal Murong gently pinched himself and felt a little dry. With his Adam's apple, he continued, "First of all, please don't spread what happened in the college yesterday. Please don't tell anyone, even your parents, friends, and lovers. The purpose of doing this should not be difficult for everyone to guess. In order not to cause too much panic, His Majesty has ordered the news to be blocked, but he also promised me that he would bring the most perfect end to the Qixia Mountain incident last year and the attack on the Royal City yesterday."
"I think the only choice we have now is to believe in the emperor of our country who is still young, but has no shortage of skills and abilities. I believe that he can personally annihilate the ambitions of the so-called demons."
"Secondly, I would like to inform you that tomorrow's national unified examination, professional magician and professional swordsman examinations will be held as scheduled. Candidates should still prepare accordingly."
Hearing the principal's words, Feng Xiaolan immediately cheered up. He looked at Ren Zihua beside him, showing an expression of determination to win.
"The last thing I want to tell you is actually what the emperor asked me to tell you. Please attend the wedding of Princess Yinbi and Prince Wilson as scheduled on Saturday."
For the teachers and students of Moxi Academy at this moment, the princess's grand wedding may be the only thing that can divert their attention and cheer them up a little. Everyone's faces finally improved, and some of them began to talk and laugh. It was not until this moment that the high-pressure atmosphere surrounding everyone gradually dissipated.
But not everyone's mood changes are the same. For example, the expressions on Ren Zihua and Lin Yuqin's faces seemed to be very complicated at this time.
Although Feng Xiaolan didn't know as much as the two of them, he had never forgotten what happened in the dormitory that day and what he saw in the principal's office.
Therefore, the expression on his face now looks strange. Coupled with the reaction of Ren Zihua next to him, this man with keen intuition seems to have noticed something fishy.
...
In the empty main hall on the first floor of the castle, Zhao Kaifeng had already walked up to the majestic and terrifying dragon chair.
I saw him kneeling on one knee, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you must have remembered what you promised me six months ago, right?"
Yinyue, who was sitting proudly on the dragon chair, only glanced at Zhao Kaifeng absently, and then continued to play with a red magic stone in her hand.
"Of course, as long as you stay away from Yinbi."
"Now that the princess is getting married, you should be able to fulfill your promise, right?" Suddenly, Zhao Kaifeng's eyes that had been full of decadence for a long time became angry, and he said as if he had been enduring it for a long time, "Your Majesty, please do it." no sooner said than done!"
