Above the stars

Lu whisper did not answer Bandit Tang's question immediately, but asked aloud: "I haven't asked you yet, what is your relationship with him?"

"The relationship between the two of us is complicated, father and son? Master and apprentice? Brother?"

"."

"It's your turn to answer me now." Tang Bandit said.

"Our relationship is also more complicated, so complicated that I don't even want to answer it."

Lu Xiuyu thought that Tang Bandit was deliberately avoiding his own questions and that he was not sincere.

Therefore, she did not want to answer Tang Bandit's question.

"."

Lu Wuyu picked up the backpack on the table and put it on his shoulder, saying, "I have to leave beforehand. If you have any questions, please contact me via mobile phone."

"Why"

Tang Bandit shouted.

Lu Whisper's figure had gone far away and soon disappeared without a trace.

"this woman"

Tang Bandit's eyes fell on Lu Whisper's workbench, and he was inadvertently attracted by a small ornament.

His eyes brightened instantly.

When Tang Bandit returned to Bailu Academy, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the night was quiet and starry.

Although it is the cold winter season, it does not make people feel cold. Instead, there is a burst of floral fragrance blowing through the night wind.

Passing through the tree-lined path, there is a red stone forest in front of you.

It is said that this piece of stone forest is naturally formed, and it has not rotted for thousands of years or longer.

It is said that on the academy's open day, many boys and girls will come to Stone Forest to check in, and then post photos and videos on the Internet.

As a result, this red stone forest has become one of the most popular tourist attractions.

When Tang Bandit was about to pass through the stone forest, a sharp sword energy suddenly struck his back.

The Tang bandits were shocked. Who else dared to go to Bailu Academy to commit murder?

Do you think my master, Xuanyuan Mingjing, is just a display?

He ignored his embarrassing appearance and rolled his body forward.

While supporting the ground with his left hand, his right hand had already thrown out the dog-leg knife from his waist.

The black shadow missed with one blow, and when he was about to pursue the victory, the dog-leg knife had already whizzed away.

The black shadow knocked the dog-leg knife away with a sword, and when he was about to pounce forward again, Tang Bandit was already standing on the opposite side, looking at her coldly, and shouted: "Qin Shuang."

Qin Shuang, dressed in black, stopped, looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "Why don't you fight back?"

"Why should I fight back?" Bandit Tang stared at Qin Shuang with an unfriendly expression, and said, "Are you crazy? Why did you attack from behind? Do you know that if I attacked just now?"

"What will happen?"

"You defeated me a long time ago." Tang Bandit said angrily.

"."

"However, I hope this is the first and last time." Bandit Tang stared at Qin Shuang with fierce eyes and said with a serious expression, "I don't want this to happen again. You may not know, I am Coming from the old land, in our place, if someone draws a sword at you behind your back, it means that both sides will fight to the death."

"You should feel that my sword only has sword intent, not murderous intent." Qin Shuang wanted to explain aloud.

"I don't care if you have murderous intent. You didn't have it when you drew the sword. Who knows if you will have it later? What if you change your mind? What if you want to stab in? When the man said that I was only loitering outside, Which time did the words count?"

"You gangster"

"Yes, I am just a gangster. So, don't mess with me again. I'm not familiar with you, and I don't want to accept this kind of test from you."

"I don't have any other thoughts about you. I just want to try your sword. I want to know what is so amazing about that sword that can make the proud Qin Jianyi praise it."

"The dean slashed out with his sword, and the sword energy stayed in the air for a month. Why don't you try it?"

"."

"You still say you have no idea about me?" Tang Bandit said with a disgusted expression: "I already have someone I like, so don't pester me again."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.

Qin Shuang stared at Tang Bandit's leaving figure for a long time before spitting out two words: "Asshole."

Tang Bandit will not be polite to Qin Shuang, no matter if you are a frost goddess or a noble daughter of the Qin family. He wouldn't even take it seriously. After all, he already had a thicker thigh.

He is more dedicated, and he can't hold two legs in one arms.

Unless one is a male leg and the other is a female leg.

According to the rules of the wasteland, as long as someone dares to draw a sword behind his back, he is the enemy of life and death.

Because you can't expect him to just play a joke on you, you can't and dare not bet

Stab a knife in your chest and say sorry, am I kidding you?

If Qin Shuang behaved like this in the old land, he would probably have to fight with people eighty or ninety times a day.

He can't get used to her, if there is another time, it will be life and death.

The reason why he didn't fight to the death this time was because he was afraid that he would be the one who died.

Although the sword just now had no murderous aura but only sword intent, Bandit Tang could already feel the power of that sword.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen into ice, and the wisps of cold air turned into sharp arrows and pierced towards him, beginning to affect and interfere with his qi mechanism, as if the yin and yang qi in his body were about to be frozen.

Qin Shuang's "A River of Spring Snow" is somewhat similar to Ling Yunxiao's Extreme Cold Sword. Qin Shuang's cultivation level is not as high as Ling Yunxiao's, but his swordsmanship is even more exquisite.

Obviously, it is impossible for the Qin family to let their direct descendants practice those rubbish things.

For example, the "Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Technique" that the old man asked himself to practice.

Tang Bandit asked Phoenix to find out that this set of exercises belonged to a very special existence.

Everyone knows that it is very powerful. If you practice to the ninth level and gather the power of the nine dragons and nine elephants, it can be said that if the gods block the gods, the Buddhas will destroy the Buddhas.

However, this set of exercises is extremely difficult to practice, and until now, no one has ever heard of it being successful.

After spending many years of time and energy, I could only practice to the first and second levels. By luck, I reached the third and fourth levels, but the lethality was still far from enough.

Efforts and gains are far from proportional.

Therefore, this set of exercises gradually disappeared on Xinxing, and few people were even willing to pick it up anymore.

Even some children from poor families, if they want to practice spiritual practice, they look for something that is simpler and easier to do and can produce results faster.

The faster you make progress, the faster you can change the living conditions of yourself and your family in the shortest possible time.

No one wants to bite this hard nut.

What if you can’t chew it? What if it fails?

People with fewer chips are more likely to lose.

Because they dare not gamble.

The Tang bandit was different. He had no other choice in the old land. He couldn't learn the Tang family's techniques, and the old man himself was a mechanic.

Anyway, he was idle, so the old man passed on this set of exercises to him.

It's a pity that more than ten years have passed, and Tang bandits can only practice this dragon and elephant power.

The ultimate move has not yet succeeded, Tang Bandit still needs to work hard.

When Bandit Tang returned to the small courtyard, Chen Tianqi was practicing in the courtyard.

Seeing Bandit Tang enter the door, he immediately stopped the exercises in his hands, and asked with a smile: "Where did you go? Haven't been back for two days?"

"I went out to do some errands, so I went back to see my brother." Bandit Tang said aloud.

"It's great, my family is right in front of me, I think it's not easy to go back." Chen Tianqi said enviously.

Bandit Tang heard from Chen Tianqi that his hometown is in Haizhou, which is still some distance away from Phoenix City.

Although transportation is now developed, whether it is an air vehicle or a sea train, you can reach it within a few hours.

If nothing happens, Chen Tianqi will not go back easily.

"What have you been busy with these two days?" Tang Bandit asked.

"Practicing." Chen Tianqi said aloud: "The Bailu Academy is like a cloud of strong people. If you want to get ahead, you can only work hard. If you are not careful, you will fall behind the tail of the team."

"Then let's work hard together." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

Chen Tianqi looked at Bandit Tang with a wry smile, and said, "This is what us ordinary students think. What do you have to worry about? Ever since you successfully joined the dean's school, you have embarked on a completely different path of cultivation from ours. Already."

"Look at Shen Xinglan, is he worried that he won't be able to keep up with the progress? Will he be afraid that he will fall off the back of the car? Not at all. He just needs to be an elegant and calm senior brother."

"Is it because Shen Xinglan is inherently strong?" Tang Bandit asked.

"That's true." Chen Tianqi said in a low voice.

Shen Xinglan became famous very early. It can be said that people of the same age group grew up listening to Shen Xinglan's inspirational stories. He is the child of other people's family in the words of his parents.

They might still be a little unconvinced when it comes to others, but when it comes to Shen Xinglan, you don't have the confidence to be unconvinced.

Tang Bandit seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in a casual tone: "By the way, I saw Qin Shuang on the way back just now."

"Really?" Chen Tianqi's eyes brightened instantly and he asked, "What is Qin Shuang doing? Is she challenging you for a sword fight again?"

"Yeah, I told her, I said I am no match, my swordsmanship is not as good as yours. But I also told her, I said that I have a friend named Chen Tianqi, one hand swordsmanship is superb, shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods, there is You two can discuss it some time."

"Really?" Chen Tianqi asked excitedly.

He didn't expect Tang Bandit to be able to introduce himself at this time and treat the goddess as nothing.

It is said that a hero is sad about a beauty pass, and Tang Bandit

It's really different from other heroes.

"Of course it's true." Tang Bandit said with a serious look on his face: "Didn't you say you wanted to compete with her in a sword competition? Why didn't you see any movement from you?"

"I went to look for her, but she didn't see me." Chen Tianqi said helplessly.

"Now there will be no such troubles. I have already greeted you." Bandit Tang said: "However, you have to persevere. How did you say that? A strong girl is afraid of pestering her husband."

"Qin Shuang's temperament is cold on the outside, but she must be hot on the inside. A girl like this is thin-skinned. I'm sorry to get in touch with men. Go to her a few more times to melt the layer of ice on her surface. Isn’t the enthusiasm released on you alone?”

Chen Tianqi nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, it's exactly what I thought. I've read in books that those girls who are colder on the outside are actually hotter on the inside, just waiting for someone who is destined to melt them down." .”

Tang Bandit looked at Chen Tianqi and said with a firm voice: "You are the destined person."

"Hey hey hey"

Chen Tianqi felt hot all over.

I don't know if Qin Shuang has fire in his bones, but he is about to be set alight by the Tang bandits.

"Where did you see Qin Shuang? I'm going to discuss it with her right now." Chen Tianqi was impatient.

"Stone Forest." Tang Bandit said: "We met in Stone Forest, but she should have returned to the dormitory now. You go to the dormitory to find her. With your network, it should be very easy to get her dormitory number. An easy thing, right?”

"To tell you the truth, I've already gotten it and looked for it twice, but they didn't let me in."

"Again and again, no more. No matter how ruthless a girl is, she will not reject an infatuated man for the third time." Tang Bandit's voice was full of bewitching.

"Just tonight?"

"Tonight."

Chen Tianqi walked out with his long sword and said, "I'm going to find her now."

"I wish you immediate success."

"Thank you brother for buying you a drink later."

"I am waiting."

Xiongjiujiu, high-spirited, went out to find Qin Shuang.

Tang Bandit looked at Chen Tianqi's back with a smile. Qin Shuang made her unhappy, so he would reciprocate and cause some trouble for her.

He is not a man who likes to suffer.

Tang Bandi returned to the room, sat on the sofa and rested for a while, then put on his training clothes and entered the training room.

Shen Xinglan was a big mountain above his head, and he had to find a way to surpass it.

Even Xiaopang was able to achieve such extraordinary and dazzling results on the small and remote track of smashing stones. Naturally, as an older brother, he couldn't lose to him.

Three hundred and sixty lines, he will be the number one scholar.

Tang Bandit decided to include the "Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Skill" into his daily training tasks, and he would have to practice it several times in the morning and evening.

Although everyone says that no one has been able to practice this set of exercises so far, does that mean that

Is this set of exercises really powerful?

Tang Bandit was not afraid of hardship, but he was afraid that the skills he practiced were not powerful enough.

For him, the most important thing now is to improve his strength.

He has a sense of fatalistic urgency.

Tang Bandit had just finished playing two sets of "Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Technique" when the doorbell rang.

Tang Bandit saw Chen Tianqi standing in front of the video doorbell and knew that the result had come out.

He walked over and opened the door, looked at Chen Tianqi with a smile on his face, and said, "How is it? Did you get it? You came back so soon to announce the good news."

Chen Tianqi said nothing.

"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed? What is your brother embarrassed about?"

Chen Tianqi still didn't speak, and went straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Tang Bandi sat in front of Chen Tianqi, handed him a bottle of mineral water, and said, "What happened? What did she say to you?"

"She said one word to me."

"Which word?"

"roll."

"."

Chen Tianqi looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "Did you really help me say hello to her?"

"Of course. It's not an important matter. Didn't you say you wanted to challenge her last time? I'll tell her for you." Tang Bandit was well versed in the art of green tea, so he pretended to be displeased and said, "You don't want to challenge her?" Believe me?"

"No, I didn't mean that." Chen Tianqi quickly denied it and said, "I went to see her, but she still didn't want to let me in. I said I was the Chen Tianqi you introduced me to, and we are good friends."

"She just told you to get out?"

"Yes."

Bandit Tang sighed softly, and said, "Stupid, really stupid. Do you know how big a mistake you made?"

"What is wrong?"

"Did I tell you that Qin Shuang wants to compete with me?"

"I told you."

"Did I tell you that I rejected Qin Shuang's competition?"

"I've said it before." Chen Tianqi nodded again.

"Think about it, I have rejected Qin Shuang several times in a row, what will she think of me?" Tang Bandi asked aloud.

"She doesn't like you?"

"It's too tactful." Tang Bandit said: "It should be said that she hates me. Think about it, what would she think when you ran in front of a woman who hated me and yelled that you were my good friend? Aren't you here to provoke me in the middle of the night? Can you make me feel better? Can I still give you a good look? "

Snapped!

Chen Tianqi suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and said loudly: "I'll just say it, I'll just say it

"I couldn't figure it out at the time, thinking how could she swear. It turned out that I was so stupid. How could I do such a stupid thing?"

Chen Tianqi looked at Bandit Tang devoutly, and asked, "Brother Tang, you have rich experience and are better at dealing with girls. Tell me, what should I do now? I have offended Qin Shuang so badly, she will Will you still care about me?"

"The matter is indeed more difficult." Tang Bandit said with a deep expression, "But it's not completely impossible to save."

"What solution?" Chen Tianqi asked expectantly.

“True gold is not afraid of fire, and true love cannot be interrupted.”

"What's the meaning?"

"Go on tomorrow."

"."

"What about her? What if she asks me to get out again?"

"Get back here, then get over again."

"I understand." Chen Tianqi said with firm eyes, "A martyr girl is afraid of a nagging man. From now on, I will be a nagging man at Bailu Academy."

"I think you have great potential."

——

Bailu Academy. tarmac.

The helipad of Bailu Academy is located in Bailu Back Mountain, an extremely wide and sunny area.

Two huge star saucers with phoenixes painted on the fuselage slowly landed. The hatches opened, and a group of palace guard members in suits and ties quickly got off the plane, instantly surrounding the surrounding area. Another group of palace guard members stood in two rows. , guarding in front of the cabin door.

The eldest prince of the Phoenix Empire, Zhong Tianque, appeared at the door and was smoothly transported to the ground by the hanging ladder.

Si Yinchuan, the vice president of Egret Academy, came up with a group of academy leaders, bowed ninety degrees to Zhong Tianque, and said: "Si Yinchuan, vice president of Egret Academy, and his colleagues met with His Highness the Prince."

Zhong Tianque strode forward, held Si Yinchuan's arm, and said angrily: "President Si, aren't you trying to break me? You are a teacher and an elder, and I am just one of your students. How can I let you do that?" Why do you bow to me?"

Si Yinchuan raised his head, looked at Zhong Tianque with a smile and said: "If His Highness the Prince comes in a private name, then I don't have to pay this courtesy. This time His Highness the Prince comes to inspect the work on behalf of the king, and represents the authority of the empire. It is the face of the royal family. Naturally, I have to salute His Highness the Prince."

"Don't dare. In front of the Dean of the Department, I will always be your student." Zhong Tianque said humbly.

"His Royal Highness is too polite." Si Yinchuan said with a smile.

Zhong Tianque turned around and looked at a middle-aged man next to him, and said, "Li Xuan, please get everyone out. This is Bailu Academy. Is there anyone who dares to come to Bailu Academy to assassinate me?"

Li Xuan showed a face, but refused to be accommodating and said: "Your Highness, this is a necessary security measure for the prince to travel. I cannot violate the regulations."

Si Yinchuan also advised: "If they are willing to guard, let them guard. They have their job responsibilities, so your Highness should not make it difficult for them."

Si Yinchuan was not willing to let them withdraw. If they did withdraw, if something happened to His Royal Highness, it would be the responsibility of their Bailu Academy family.

If the palace guards are also protecting you, and something happens to His Royal Highness, it will be the responsibility of two parties

Moreover, Egret Academy is still a secondary responsibility.

"It's just an eyesore." Zhong Tianque said with a smile: "When I arrived at Bailu Academy, I was still surrounded by people. It looked like they didn't believe in the strength of Bailu Academy. It also made the classmates laugh."

"The dignity of the royal family still needs to be maintained, and the students can understand it."

Zhong Tianque nodded, and said: "I came here this time to represent my father to see the preparations for the Tiandao exchange meeting. My father attaches great importance to this exchange event, so let me come over to see how the preparations of Bailu Academy are going. Is there anything that the royal family can help with? If there is, the head of the department must not be polite to us."

"How could it be? The Bailu Academy is the Bailu Academy of the Phoenix Empire, and the students of the Bailu Academy are also fighting on behalf of the Phoenix Empire. Every glory they have won is the glory of the empire. If there is any need for help from the royal family, I will definitely take the initiative When you open your mouth to the eldest prince, don’t refuse him.”

"Absolutely not." Zhong Tianque looked at Si Yinchuan and said, "I was entrusted by my father, and this time I came here to bring eight words to Bailu Academy: I want money for money, and people for people."

"Egret Academy will definitely live up to the high expectations of the king." Si Yinchuan said respectfully and piously.

"The Ossi Empire has been a little restless in the past few years. The meaning of provoking my father repeatedly in the northern border is to trample them down. A group of things who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"Yes, we will do our best." Si Yinchuan agreed with a bow.

"I believe in you, and I also believe in Bailu Academy." Zhong Tianque nodded and said aloud.

"Your Highness, shall I take you to inspect the preparatory work of our Bailu Academy?"

Zhong Tianque did not agree, but asked aloud: "Is Dean Xuanyuan here?"

"The dean is here. He should be instructing his students in Grape Courtyard at this time." Si Yinchuan said with a smile.

"Then go visit the dean first." Zhong Tianque said: "When you arrive at Bailu Academy, if you don't visit the dean, your father will scold you for being disrespectful when you return."

"I will lead the way for His Highness." Si Yinchuan made an invitation gesture.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Grape Courtyard, Si Yinchuan took the lead and said to Xuanyuan Mingjing who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea: "Dean, the eldest prince is here to pay you a visit."

"Please come in, the eldest prince." Xuanyuan Mingjing said, but did not get up.

However, Tang Bandi and Shen Xinglan, who had been sitting in front of Xuanyuan Mingjing and listened carefully to the lecture, quickly stood up. The master could stage the show, but they did not have the qualifications.

What's more, this time the eldest prince came on behalf of the king Zhong Daolong.

Before the eldest prince came, Bailu Academy had already received the news from the royal family.

Therefore, no one was surprised at all that the eldest prince would come to visit Grape Courtyard.

If he doesn't come, it will prove that the prince's brain is not very good.

On the way to seize the throne, if there is a Grand Master ally, how much help will it be?

Even Zhong Daolong, who sits in the supreme position of the Nine Kings, has to rely on Xuanyuan Mingjing to help him in many aspects.

Otherwise, how could Xuanyuan Mirror have such a lofty status?

After Zhong Tianque entered the room, he bowed to Xuanyuan Mirror and said, "Tianque has met the dean."

"The eldest prince, please take a seat." Xuanyuan Mingjing pointed to the seat in front of him and said with a smile: "Xinglan, pour tea for the eldest prince."

"Yes." Shen Xinglan stepped forward and poured tea for Zhong Tianque.

Zhong Tianque grabbed Shen Xinglan's arm and said, "Xinglan, what are you doing? You and my brother, I still need you to pour me tea?"

Shen Xinglan smiled warmly and said, "Your Highness is a guest from afar, so naturally he should treat you with tea."

Zhong Tianque looked around and pointed at Tang Bandit and said, "Let him come."

"."
