"Brother Ji! Sister Jing! Please do me a favor, please!"
In Mingde Hall, in the researcher's rest area, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan sat opposite Xiao Hongchen. They looked at Xiao Hongchen with his hands clasped together and couldn't help but look at each other.
Especially Ji Juechen, who was completely immersed in the study of swords on weekdays. With his sword, he didn't even have to find a girlfriend. At this time, he was completely confused. He didn't know that Xiao Hongchen, who was so arrogant and popular, The poorly rated young man has something to find out about himself.
"A little care is not disrespectful."
Before the waiter had even brought the drinks ordered by the three of them, Xiao Hongchen took out two storage rings and pushed them to Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan respectively on the table.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Hongchen, we shouldn't be familiar with each other, right?"
Jing Ziyan looked at Xiao Hongchen warily, and the other party's sudden courtesy made her extremely cautious.
"Ah?" Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked:
"You know me and I know you, how can you call me unfamiliar?"
Ji Juechen & Jing Ziyan:?
Xiao Hongchen pointed at the two storage rings and said, "It's really just a small thought... What I gave to Sister Jing are some essays about soul guides written by my grandfather when he was an eighth-level soul instructor, and what I gave to Brother Ji is a This booklet collects all kinds of information and training summary of various cold weapons and martial soul titled Douluo."
Ji Juechen, who was half-facially paralyzed, had his eyes flashing slightly, while Jing Ziyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her eyebrows slightly.
"Xiao Hongchenzhen knows how to give gifts...but he doesn't get reward for his work. Lao Ji and I didn't have any friendship with you before. We don't dare to take your things randomly."
"Once you are familiar with it, you will become familiar again. If you two do me a favor, won't this friendship be established?"
At this time, Jing Ziyan suspected that the images of Xiao Hongchen she had heard about before were all artistically processed. She could not see the arrogance and domineering look of Xiao Hongchen in the legend at all. Instead, she felt that Xiao Hongchen was like a snake-killing stick. Paired with the smile on his face, he seems a bit unworthy of a beating...
This is because Jing Ziyan and Huo Yuhao are not familiar with each other, otherwise they would understand that this is the reason why those who are close to Mo are black.
Xiao Hongchen crossed his hands and rested his arms on the table. The indifferent smile on his face looked like he was close friends with the two people opposite him.
"you……"
Jing Ziyan felt that she couldn't find a point to fight back against Xiao Hongchen at this time, and then looked at the two storage rings on the table. No matter what, Xiao Hongchen's sincerity seemed to be quite sufficient, even if it was out of politeness. You should listen to his explanation of his intentions before making a decision.
"Xiao Hongchen, you might as well speak more clearly. What exactly do you want me and Lao Ji to help you with? We don't dare to take arbitrary rewards, especially those that hurt our hands."
Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen, who looked attentive, looked at each other and said solemnly:
"I want to ask Brother Ji and Sister Jing to protect my sister!"
"Your sister?" Jing Ziyan had a puzzled expression on her face.
"She is an upright soul king. Let alone me, Lao Ji may not be able to get an advantage from her. She can protect us just fine. Xiao Hongchen, if you are looking for a bodyguard, you are looking for the wrong person. With you With the status of the family, there should be a lot of overt and covert protection, right?"
Xiao Hongchen shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, of course the protection I mean is not the literal meaning you understand."
Ji Juechen frowned, he didn't like Xiao Hongchen's Riddler style.
"If you have anything to say, please say it directly. There is no need to hide it."
"To be precise... what I want you to protect is not my sister's personal safety, but her emotional safety!"
"Emotionally safe?"
Ji Juechen was still a little confused, but Jing Ziyan already made a meaningful "Oh~" sound.
Seeing that Jing Ziyan seemed to have understood some of his meaning, Xiao Hongchen continued to explain:
"To be honest, the list of exchange students between our college and Shrek has been finalized, and I am among them. I will leave for the exchange in a few months. It will take three years, even if I can take advantage of it I occasionally come back twice during the holidays, but I basically have a dark look at the situation in the college."
"So... under this situation, I can't take care of Meng all the time. Three years is not long or short, but it is enough for a relationship to have a lot of changes. I am really worried about Meng. Something happened to her relationship and she was hurt."
Ji Juechen suddenly realized: "Oh, so you mean you are worried that your sister will be attracted by other men?"
"Where are you thinking, Lao Ji, he obviously means..." Jing Ziyan covered her mouth and said with a smile.
"You're worried about something going wrong with Huo Yuhao, right?"
Xiao Hongchen nodded heavily.
Jing Ziyan spread her hands: "Then what do you mean by coming to me and Lao Ji? If Huo Yuhao has a tendency to fall in love with someone else, then teach him a lesson? With all due respect, I still know better than you about this kind of thing. , if you do this, it may arouse his rebellious spirit even more, which will be counterproductive."
"Sister Jing, you have guessed wrong again. My request is the opposite."
"on the contrary?"
This series of twists and turns of dialogue made Jing Ziyan's head, which was more flexible than Ji Juechen's, a little confused. Xiao Hongchen stopped playing riddles and revealed the answer:
"I just want to ask you two, if I find that there are girls who are plotting against Huo Yuhao and want to get close to him, I guess this situation will definitely be inevitable. At that time, I ask you to take action, whether it is civil or military tactics, or you can have a good heart-to-heart talk with them. It’s okay to punish them by fighting to make them retreat when they are faced with difficulties, but in short, keep those crazy bees and butterflies far away!”
"As a brother, I will always worry about her feelings even after she is born, even though we are thousands of miles apart. I hope you two can understand and help me with this!"
Ji Juechen was stunned on the spot. He never expected that what Xiao Hongchen proposed was such an operation.
Jing Ziyan came back to her senses and couldn't help but ask: "We are so unfamiliar with you, why does this kind of thing come to us?"
Xiao Hongchen clasped his fists and said, "Because Brother Ji promises a thousand pieces of gold and is known by word of mouth! Sister Jing is known for her resourcefulness! With the help of you two, who are both civil and military, I can go on the road with peace of mind."
"I had a tea discussion with Huo Yuhao before, and among the young researchers at Mingdetang, he was the only one he truly admired, Ji Juechen! Even Huo Yuhao, that dog... a talented enough person, admires Brother Ji so much, I believe Please, you two are right.”
"With Brother Ji's strength and Sister Jing's wisdom, why worry about big things happening?"
"You two" obviously scratched Jing Ziyan's itch. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That's too much praise. Lao Ji's perseverance is worthy of your evaluation, but I am just an ordinary member of Mingde Hall." That’s it, Xiao Hongchen, you’re not as dumb as some people slander you…”
Ji Juechen frowned and said, "You care so much about your sister's feelings... What about the hall master? It's his duty to care about and take care of his granddaughter's love life, right? It's much better for him to handle this matter than for us."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head: "It is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. The feelings between us young people are too sensitive and fragile. It may be counterproductive to let elders like them interfere randomly. Let the students resolve the matters between students. Brother Ji and Jing Sister, your age and strength are just right. As long as you do it more discreetly, Huo Yuhao won't notice, and he will understand me in the future."
"Of course, the most important reason why I entrust you two with me is because I believe in your character."
Looking at the two storage rings on the table, Jing Ziyan said softly: "Do you believe that the two of us who have never been in love can help you protect Miss Meng's happy life? What do you want me to say about you... …”
………………
"Dean Cai! I, I want to sign up for the exchange program!"
"Ah... Dean Yan, Dean Qian? You are here too, please excuse me."
In Shrek Academy, in the office of the dean of the Martial Arts Department, Cai Meier, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo looked at Wang Dong who hurriedly opened the door, and their emotions were quite complicated.
They never expected that Xiao Xiao, who made them feel very relieved and could not think of a reason for the accident, would take the initiative to submit an application for exchange activities at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy a few days ago!
What caught people off guard was that Ling Luochen, a student in the inner academy and a member of this year's Shrek Seven Devils, actually accompanied Xiao Xiao in submitting the same application!
"Dear deans, Xiao Xiao and I have regarded each other as sisters who are not related by blood. As a sister, I really don't trust her to travel thousands of miles alone to the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den in the Sun and Moon Empire. If anything happens to her, I will You will definitely feel guilty and self-blame for the rest of your life, and you will most likely suffer from inner demons, and may even be stuck on the threshold of becoming a Soul Saint."
"So, for my own development, for Xiao Xiao's safety, and for the strength of the college, I have to go and protect Xiao Xiao in person so that I can rest assured. I will complete the remaining supervision missions required for graduation from the inner college as soon as possible after I return. , and please all deans for approval.”
The hearts of the three deans sank immediately, and they could not find out why the two people who had a bright future in Shrek wanted to take this troubled waters.
The three of them took turns to enlighten them for a long time, trying to use gentle faces and reason with Xiao Zhi to make them emotional. However, after struggling for half an afternoon, they could not change the minds of Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen.
In the end, it was Yan Shaozhe who made the decision to leave their exchange applications unpublished and let them go back and think about it carefully and take responsibility for their own lives. The college really couldn't bear to see them waste three precious years.
Originally, the application deadline for the exchange student list was almost approaching. As long as it was delayed a little longer, this matter would probably be lost. Shrek already had target candidates for the other two top martial arts souls that would be used to make up the numbers for Lin Xi. Contact with the forces behind them has also begun.
As a result, I don’t know who leaked the news, but the liaison officer assigned by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy came to the door the next day and asked Shrek about the relevant matters!
Looking at the other party's solemn promise to "give your outstanding students the best treatment, allow them to directly enter Mingde Hall to study and be trained by the best teachers, arrange for them to have top-quality soul rings, and provide them with sufficient living allowances and "Soul Guidance Device Research Subsidy", Yan Shaozhe almost couldn't help serving tea to see the guests off.
Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy know each other's Xiao Jiujiu very well. Who doesn't know what the other party is planning?
The news was leaked like this. With the students' voluntariness and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's efforts to facilitate it, Shrek could not forcefully go too far against the students' will. Yan Shaozhe signed Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen. After agreeing to exchange approval documents, my whole hand couldn't help but tremble.
What Shrek can do now is to give the few valued students of the Martial Arts Department as good a treatment as possible before they leave, so that they can leave a perfect impression on the academy, and hold the students' hearts with the warmth of home. .
Ridiculous, so ridiculous. The twin martial spirit soul masters who were destined to enter the inner courtyard and the Poseidon Pavilion, and the top ice attribute soul master who is one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, actually submitted an exchange application to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Is this for learning the knowledge of soul tools? This is a slap in Shrek's face!
As a result, when Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen remained tight-lipped, on the day the list of exchange students was updated, Wang Dong rushed in to include himself. The three deans immediately guessed that the problem was probably with Wang Dong. On your body!
"Wang Dong, what's wrong? Are you in such a hurry? Are you having a conflict with Xiao Xiao?" Cai Meier asked gently.
"She and I... are not at odds... but... the situation is very complicated and hard to say. She and I have also made an agreement not to reveal it to others. In short, I can't leave Xiao Xiao alone! She is going to Japan. I will definitely follow the Moon Empire!"
Seeing Wang Dong's reaction, the three people's hearts immediately sank again.
Damn it, now it’s confirmed that the problem is really Wang Dong’s problem, and it looks quite troublesome!
Yan Shaozhe shook his head slightly: "Wang Dong, although you are still a child, you should be aware of your identity. We understand that you don't want to be separated from Xiao Xiao, but is it too hasty to make the decision to follow Wan Li because of this? If I’m not wrong, you probably didn’t communicate with your family before making this decision and submitting this application, right?”
When asked about his shortcomings, Wang Dong immediately panicked: "It's true that there is no such thing, but my family probably won't object! Also, I'm not a child anymore, so I don't need and shouldn't ask my family for permission on everything!" "
Yan Shaozhe chuckled: "Indeed, you should have your own opinion, but this involves three years of your life, and it can be called 'extremely important' in any way. If you don't communicate this kind of thing properly with your family, you Do you think it’s appropriate?”
"Wang Dong, your status is extraordinary, and you also bear more responsibilities and obligations than other people of your age. You cannot be willful according to your own mood. Even if you grow up and no longer need to rely on your family, your birth and blood are the same. The sacrifices are constant, unless you can throw away your Clear Sky Hammer."
"Even so, if they are not from the Haotian Sect, it is not easy for children from ordinary families to enter Shrek Academy. Most people have received favors from their families and sects since they were born. This cannot be denied. So. , I will not approve this report until you obtain the consent of your family."
"As the heir of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Ning Tian also submitted the exchange application after obtaining the consent of the sect. The Haotian Sect is much better than the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. Wang Dong, you can't do worse than Ning Tian. Bar?"
Being poured cold water on by Yan Shaozhe, Wang Dong lowered his head listlessly.
Qian Duoduo also echoed: "Furthermore, Wang Dong, everyone knows that you are allergic to soul guides. Even if your family and we can agree, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is a place where soul guides are placed everywhere. , we were all worried that you would pass out on the first day!"
Wang Dong still lowered his head and couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
How is it possible? I have personally entered the campus of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy a long time ago, and was led in by Miss Meng. As long as I don’t touch the combat soul guidance device, I won’t be allergic, and I won’t be so embarrassed as to faint on the spot. What about...
It’s a pity that I can’t seem to tell the deans about this reason!
Just when Wang Dong was unable to make a comeback and was about to call it quits, there was a knock on the office door. After Cai Meier agreed, a middle-aged man pushed in the door.
"Ah, the three deans are here, and there is also a junior classmate?"
Seeing the visitor, Cai Meier introduced Wang Dong:
"Wang Dong, this is Mr. Lan, the liaison officer of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."
"Hello, Mr. Lan." Wang Dong said without raising his head.
"Classmate Wang... are you okay?" The liaison officer's voice was relatively calm at first, but then the tone suddenly rose.
The three deans looked at the liaison officer's behavior with some confusion.
Wang Dong also looked up, but he had no memory of any interaction with Mr. Lan.
The liaison officer originally wanted to negotiate with Shrek about the exchange of places in the academy. As soon as he came in, he saw three deans gathered together. There was also a student standing in the room with an "exchange application form" in his hand. At that time, he felt sad in his heart. It was a burst of ecstasy.
After a moment's thought, he could figure out what the situation was like now. The student who the three deans seemed to be trying to retain must have extraordinary potential. If he could work hard to fool this student, he could add new achievements.
As a result, when he saw Wang Dong's iconic pink hair, he felt an uncontrollable sense of déjà vu in his heart.
When Cai Meier called Wang Dong's name, the liaison officer suddenly realized:
Isn't this the unlucky guy who was personally issued a permanent expulsion order for the first time by the granddaughter of Hongchen Hall? He was the one who took Wang Dong out of Mingdu with his own hands!
The liaison officer asked tentatively: "Dear deans, this classmate also wants to go to our school for exchange and study?"
Yan Shaozhe raised his hand and said, "No! This student... his own situation is quite special. It is basically impossible for him to enter your school."
oh? Yeah?
A smile appeared in the liaison officer's eyes.
He decided to beat up such a lost dog who had offended the hall master's granddaughter, and then set fire to the three deans:
"That's a pity, but even if the deans agree, this student cannot be included in the exchange list. Because he has actually been issued a permanent entry ban by our country long ago. This order was still issued in Mingdu and in our school. Published.”
"So, it's a pity that this classmate can't come here to learn about soul guidance devices."
The three deans looked at Wang Dong in astonishment, while Wang Dong's eyes widened.
The deans knew that Wang Dong met Meng Hongchen from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy on the playing field, but they didn’t take it too seriously. With Wang Dong’s identity, it was not surprising that he met anyone. The young master of the Haotian Sect Our stance is still very firm and trustworthy.
But they really didn’t know that Wang Dong was still on the Sun Moon Empire’s permanent entry ban list!
When did this happen?
Wang Dong did not expect that something he had never mentioned to others would be exposed in such a ridiculous way on today's occasion.
but……
The three deans exchanged quick glances and reached a consensus: Mr. Liaison Officer finally did something good and gave Shrek an assist.
Wang Dong possesses two top-notch martial souls on her own. She and Ling Luochen together weigh more than Lin Xi. It is already a major work mistake to accidentally let Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen slip through your fingers. , there is no need or possibility for Shrek to let her out again.
As for investigating and even interrogating Wang Dong, what happened to the permanent entry ban?
This is of course impossible. Wang Dong is the young master of the Haotian Sect, and there are few people in the entire continent who are more firm and reliable than her.
What's more, with Wang Dong's identity, the things she is willing to reveal are okay, but it is impossible for Shrek to force her to explain the things she doesn't want to say. If the relationship with Haotian Sect is damaged because of this, who can afford such responsibility? ?
The Haotian Sect is a hidden sect with bottomless strength. Even Shrek can't figure out the details of the Haotian Sect. According to outside legends, Shrek has the means to contact the God Realm. But in fact, it is much more convenient for Haotian Sect to contact the God Realm than Shrek!
This is the Haotian Sect that might be able to defeat Shrek, not the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that has an empty reputation but is actually weak and whose top combat power is even inferior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ten thousand years ago!
I have been exerting a little too much these past few days... my left hand is sore and seems to be suffering from Achilles tendonitis. Maybe the number of updates will be reduced in the past two days, and I will post as many codes as I can...
