Ge Sheng never thought that he would tell his story to a third person besides An Ning and Ye Qing.
Originally, in his imagination, if the Third Highness was willing to listen, he wouldn't mind telling her.
Because storytelling is a quiet thing.
But telling your own story, apart from being quiet, is more personal.
When you reveal your past to others, it's like you have taken off all the armor and weapons on your body.
People cannot understand each other originally, and the existence of language provides a link for this understanding.
The narration of the past adds more meaning to this understanding.
Ge Sheng told Ziquan a lot, including the conversation with the saint by the holy lake.
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Although Ge Sheng didn't know his life or death for the time being, the girl in front of him used her actions to remove all of Ge Sheng's defenses.
Ziquan also listened very carefully. She didn't interrupt too much, but she was a gentle and excellent listener.
She followed Ge Sheng's emotional fluctuations, frowning or smiling, high-fiving when he was proud, and caressing his chest when he was sad.
When Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess stood in front of everyone and told her father that she would recognize Ge Sheng as her brother, the girl clenched her fist and tapped her forehead lightly, thinking about the blue-haired junior, and then said with a sigh:
"You are able to get to know that princess, and you are a blessing that has been cultivated for countless lifetimes."
Seeing Ge Sheng's acquiescence, she raised her hand and handed the roasted meat to Ge Sheng. With a vague smile in her dove-gray eyes, she said: "Ne."
"Let me tell you a story too."
"I come from Qiuwu County, north of Holy Water. It's a very ordinary citizen's family. My mother is gentle but a bit trivial. My father is a little bit grumpy, but he is never confused about the big things."
"I have a brother I told you about. He is half a year younger than you. His name is Zihe."
"My childhood was much boring in comparison. I grew up like the most ordinary little girl. It wasn't until I tested my magical properties at the age of seven that my parents were told that I was a genius."
"In short, becoming a genius is a very boring thing." Ziquan smiled narrowly and shrugged slightly: "You need to work harder to ensure your status as a genius, otherwise you will be said to have no talent. Know how to take advantage.”
"I entered Qiuwu Academy when I was seven years old. From that year on, I have been the number one student in Qiuwu Academy."
"My parents are very proud of me, but I never feel great."
"Because I have to put in a lot of practice in private, so I don't really have much time to have fun."
"When I was thirteen, they told me that Qiuwu Academy no longer had much to teach me. If I wanted to go further, I could only go to Ye Ye."
"Ye Ye Academy, the highest holy land in the hearts of all Lan Ye people."
"Actually, I don't really want to go, but everyone is looking forward to me going, because it would be a great honor for Qiuwu Academy to have a genius who passed the Ye Yesan exam at the age of thirteen."
"Yes, ever since my talent was discovered, I have had too many expectations that I didn't want to bear." Zi Quan rubbed his brows and said tiredly.
"So I went and passed by luckily with a score that was neither high nor low, but because I was still young, I received a lot of care."
"When I got to Ye Ye College, no one would call me a genius anymore, because I was surrounded by some very weird guys." She smiled and raised her fingers: "Like President Aoda, like Mo Xiaojing Club Sir, even the younger generation still has guys like you and geniuses like the Ninth Princess."
"I have become less conspicuous, on the contrary." Ziquan blinked proudly: "I am more accustomed to this kind of life."
"No wonder you became such a gentle person." Ge Sheng couldn't help but smile as he listened to Ziquan's story about himself.
"Who said that!" Zi Quan shook his head: "I'm still far behind in terms of gentleness. Yes, I want to tell this story too."
"About my first red case."
"After entering Ye Ye College, I was caught by a guy, so I accidentally became a member of the Feiyu Team of the Snow Burial Club." When Ziquan mentioned a guy, his eyebrows dimmed slightly: "Then... In that year, which was the second year after I joined the Snow Burial Society, we received a red case."
"The content of the red case is to help seal a group of escaped succubi."
"Originally, if it was a red case, with the cooperation of the mentor, intelligence analysis, and tactical formulation, as long as it was followed step by step, nothing would go wrong."
"So originally everything was going fine."
"Seduction."
"Engraving."
"Conquer."
"Every step of the way, there were no surprises, but when I finally conquered it, the succubus went berserk and attacked the seal crazily."
Ziquan said with a calm expression: "Then, I panicked."
"I was only fourteen years old at that time, half a year older than you are now. Although my cultivation level is good, my actual combat experience is pitiful after all. It's in the plan."
She sighed: "There is no succubus rage."
"So, I took a step back."
"Then the seal came loose."
"The succubus rushed towards me from the loose seal, but I was so scared that I couldn't move even one step when I looked at the ugly purple monster."
"Then the guy pushed me out."
"Yes, that guy." She said with a recalling look: "The guy who tricked me into joining the Snow Burial Club, and then tricked me into joining the Feiyu Group, at that time."
"He is the leader of Feiyu Group."
"Then, he was carved with the succubus's curse mark."
Ge Sheng had heard about the succubus.
This is a kind of monster between a spiritual body and a real thing. It is good at absorbing human essence. It has extremely high resistance to physics and magic. The best way to deal with it is to suppress it after sealing it.
The succubus' most signature skill is curse engraving.
"He will never be able to practice any magic martial arts again."
"A guy like that was as proud as a prince. After the diagnosis came out, he applied for discharge from the hospital in an unusually calm manner."
Ziquan held her fine gold rapier, her dove-gray eyes slightly misty: "Many people tried to persuade him to stay, and some instructors told him that he could choose some purely theoretical courses for research here."
"But he quietly and resolutely refused all attempts to stay, and left the Garden of Thousand Pagodas without looking back."
Ziquan paused, then continued: "When he left, I tried my best to find him."
The purple-haired girl recalled the scene at that time with an inexplicable expression: "It happened to be dusk at that time, and the sun hit his body with a faint crimson color. I stood opposite him and said with a blushing face."
Ziquan bit her lip gently and repeated what she said at that time: "Wait until I grow up."
"I will marry you."
"I never knew I could be so brave. In other words, bravery is a hidden talent of every girl." Ziquan commented lightly.
"Then what?" Ge Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing like that." Ziquan smiled to himself: "He raised his hand and ruffled my hair, just like he had done so countless times before."
"Then he shrugged and mocked: Silly girl."
"You're so ugly. I won't like an ugly girl like you." Ziquan said what the boy said at that time, with an expression of indescribable sadness: "Look at your eyes, they are so gray. , who would like it?"
Of course she wasn't sad because the boy laughed at her appearance, she just felt sad.
She's not ugly at all, everyone knows that.
But the boy's rejection at this time made people feel very sad.
Ge Sheng said nothing.
Ziquan continued: "Then I'll ask him."
"Why did you save me?"
"He said."
"You are my team member."
Ziquan said this softly, with a slight light in his eyes: "As a team leader, the greatest shame is to let your companions be hurt in front of you. Understand? My little girl."
"He just left with a smile."
"And I have never seen that smiling face again."
Ge Sheng looked at the team leader in front of him. For some reason, he stretched out his hand and messed up her short purple hair.
Zi Quan frowned, and reached out to ruffle Ge Sheng's hair, refusing to admit defeat, and then smiled. The girl's smile was sharp and proud.
"After that, I applied to become the leader of the Feiyu Group."
"As a team leader, the greatest shame is to let your teammates be hurt in front of you."
"At that time, I swore an oath."
"Before I leave, I will always be the leader of the Feiyu Group, the fourth action team of the Snow Burial Society."
"In place of that guy who ran away irresponsibly, protect everyone in his place."
