In fact, they haven't seen each other for two years, and Xia Huai's changes are not limited to his height.
It is said that women have undergone a major transformation. Compared with when they first met, Xia Huai is not only taller now, her breasts are also straighter, her calves look longer and slender, and even her baby face looks thinner now. A bit childish.
But one thing hasn't changed.
——That's the brightness in her eyes.
When Xia Huai smiles, his eyes will still curve into a line, and the two small dimples on his cheeks will appear as promised.
Everyone who sees her smile can't help but feel better too.
This is probably what everyone often calls the healing system.
Lu Jing thought in his heart.
Not long after sending Xia Huai away, he met Yang Tao and others who came after hearing the news.
Yang Tao and Lu Jing entered the trial realm at the same time, but compared to Lu Jing who stayed in the trial realm for more than a month, Yang Tao just went in to appreciate the exotic customs and then came out in a hurry.
However, although his assessment scores were so-so, his ability to make friends was very impressive.
Even when Yang Tao was on the list due to the Qing Yun ranking change, Guan Pingping, who was greatly stimulated, found it difficult to really dislike this competitor who was so forthright and forthright.
Not to mention other people.
In less than a month, Yang Tao has become close to most of the freshmen. Today he will have a drink with that one, he will spar with this one tomorrow, or he will make an appointment to hang out together.
After all, the academy is very mysterious in the eyes of these young people, and there seem to be many secrets hidden in every corner.
And just ten days ago, Yang Tao and the others really encountered a strange thing.
"Great, you finally came out of that damn place." Yang Tao was overjoyed when he saw Lu Jing, and then he went up and took Lu Jing's hand, "Just in time, hurry, hurry, let's go together."
"Where to go?" Lu Jing was confused by his lack of words.
"It's too late to explain, let's talk about it on the way, otherwise we'll be late, the guy will run away again, and we won't be able to get revenge." Yang Tao urged.
"Revenge, have you made a grudge against anyone?" Lu Jingqi asked.
"Well, Uncle Chen told you, the bamboos used for the bamboo trails are good materials for making weapons, but they are too damn difficult to cut, so we put it together and came up with a way."
Yang Tao said as he walked, "That [A-Zi Seven-One] can affect the surrounding vegetation, but it cannot affect the land, so we thought, either don't cut it down and just dig out the bamboo directly."
"Well, that's a good idea." Lu nodded, "Have you succeeded?"
"Don't mention it. The roots of those bamboos are very deep and entangled with each other. They can't be separated at all. We were so exhausted that we couldn't dig out anything, and then we were attacked by someone."
"Who attacked you?" Lu Jing was surprised.
He had just heard from Uncle Chen about the rules of the academy. One of the most important ones was that classmates were not allowed to fight in private.
And they are all newcomers who have just passed the examination. It stands to reason that no one would dare to challenge the rules of the academy at this time.
"A monkey," Yang Tao said angrily, "it's quite harsh."
At this time, other people also expressed their opinions.
"…………"
"So you guys, a bunch of second-rate and third-rate masters, were beaten by a monkey?" Lu Jing didn't laugh at Yang Tao and others, because he knew that they probably encountered a strange thing in the academy.
Yang Tao nodded, "That monkey's skills are very powerful. Even if he is not first-class, he is close to the first-class level. The key is to just beat us. After beating us, he will also take away our weapons."
Speaking of which, when Lu Jing first met Yang Tao, he noticed that his big gun was not with him. However, at that time, Lu Jing thought it was because there was no danger in the academy and Yang Tao had left his weapon in his residence, but he did not expect that it was lost.
"Have you ever told the teachers in the academy about this?" Lu Jing asked.
"As I said, we found Professor Yuan, but Professor Yuan said he only cares about the students and not the monkeys."
A young man in brocade who was traveling with him said with a mournful face, "My jade sword is a family heirloom sword. If the old man knows that I have lost it, he will definitely break my legs. If Mr. Lu can take action and get the sword back for me, I will I would like to express my gratitude with three hundred taels of silver."
And his words resonated with everyone.
Then I heard other people speaking out one by one, saying, "Young Master Lu, my Kuixing pen is the work of the former swordsmith Qi Wenyuan... I am willing to pay two hundred taels."
"My Ziwu Yuanyang Yue is a relic of my master, and it is very important to me, but I don't have that much cash on me, so let's do this. I have an antique in my hand, so I will give it to Shaoxia Lu."
"My purple and gold nine-section whip was passed down from my great-grandfather to my grandfather. My grandfather later passed it on to my father. Now it has fallen into my hands. I cannot lose it. If Mr. Lu can help me find it, I am willing to Give Lu Shaoxia three of Thunderbolt Hall’s unique hidden weapons.”
…………
Among the new recruits recruited by the academy, most of them are children of aristocratic families, or promising young people from famous sects, and their own family backgrounds are good.
Therefore, their weapons naturally come from extraordinary sources.
A Zen staff like Lu Jing's who spent two hundred taels of silver to make would probably be considered the most miserable among them, so when the weapon was thrown away, they naturally became more anxious than the other.
Yang Tao finally said, "My big gun is not very valuable, but I have practiced shooting since I was a child, and my father told me that the person is with the gun, but the person is not with the gun... Well, it's okay if the person is there, but I can't just watch. My Yang Family Dragon Tiger Overlord Gun fell into the hands of a monkey.
"I don't have much money, but if Young Master Lu has to do anything in the future, whether it's fighting or exploring, I, Yang, will never frown."
Lu Jing originally had no great interest in fighting a monkey.
Because in this kind of thing, you won’t gain anything if you win, but you will lose blood if you lose.
But seeing everyone looking at him so eagerly, it was not easy to refuse. In addition, everyone was very sincere and offered high prices. It was really hard to refuse the kindness to Lu Daxia, who had returned to poverty due to illness.
So Lu Jing agreed to have a meeting with Yang Tao and the monkey for a while.
However, instead of taking the bamboo path, everyone went up the mountain along a path. As a result, the place where they saw monkeys before was now empty of monkeys.
Unwilling to be reconciled, everyone continued to move forward through an apricot forest. Looking at a red stone forest not far away, someone said in despair, "It's over, that monkey ran in, and we can't catch it today."
"Where is that place?" Lu Jing asked.
"One of the eight scenic spots in the academy is the densely dyed forest." Yang Tao also sighed.
Lu Jing didn't expect that he would encounter the second of the eight sceneries so soon. He looked intently. Although the red stone forest was a bit alluring, it seemed to be less beautiful than the Hanging Fish in the Sky, one of the eight sceneries he had seen before. There isn't much mystery.
I don’t know why Yang Tao and others look quite distressed.
