Heavenly Dao Formula

He didn't sleep all night, but Xia Fan didn't feel too tired. Compared with the physical burden, the mental stress is the big one. Now that the other party fell asleep and the pressure was relieved, he felt a lot lighter all over.

This is probably the cost of being young. Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When he was in college, he could still eat staying up late as a meal. After going to work, he would be so sleepy after twelve o'clock. It would take several days to make up for it all night. There will be a day to return to the top.

Looking at the empty bowl of porridge, his stomach also growled.

After simply tidying up the house, Xia Fan went straight to the hotel lobby and ordered twice the usual meals in one go.

"Guest officer, please take your time." Xiaoer quickly served breakfast.

Compared with yesterday's atmosphere of mutual suspicion and embarrassment, today's lobby is much cleaner. I don't know if he got up early, but he is the only one in the whole room, and he feels quite at ease.

It seems that getting up early is not without benefits.

It's just that this sense of comfort gradually turned into surprise when Xia Fan ate the second steamed bun.

How long have you been here?

A quarter of an hour? or longer...

During this period, no one stepped into the lobby—whether they came down from upstairs or came in from outside. The spiritual fire can only be seen at night, there should be quite a few people watching all night, and now is the point to return. During the day, it is easy to collect, and the family may still need to occupy the venue, so the sooner the better, the moment when the two waves of personnel are handed over, how could it be so long without a single figure entering or leaving the lobby?

Xia Fan slowly put down the steamed bun in his hand and picked up the wooden sword.

Just as he was about to go back to the house, two Luo family disciples appeared at the stairs.

They stood side by side, blocking the passage behind them.

Then someone walked quickly into the lobby and occupied the exit position—these candidates were also wearing the Luo family's blue robes, and their eyes were all focused on him.

The uniform rhythm of the two groups of people made Xia Fan realize instantly that this was probably something that had been planned long ago.

It's not that he got up too early, but that the Luo family controlled the flow of people in the hotel in advance.

What the other party was waiting for was the moment when he walked into the lobby!

"That's right, your power of observation is sharper than I expected." With a pleasant voice, Luo gently appeared at the lobby door, "It's a pity that you used it where it shouldn't be used."

Although her tone was calm, Xia Fan could still hear the repressed indignation and anger inside.

No way, did you find out so quickly that you did it?

And if you don't move, it's enough. A move is such a big gesture. Obviously, the Luo family has a great grasp of this. Denying it at such a time would be a bit self-inflicted.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan simply admitted, "I'm curious, how did you make sure?"

"Luo Youer!"

"Yes, Senior Sister." A little girl with curly short hair quickly stood up and said, "It's the smell! I smell you."

The familiar words made Xia Fan feel a little dazed for a moment, "What?"

She touched her nose, "The alchemy I am good at allows me to track the flow of smells within ten miles. The thief entered the house through the window, and at the side of the senior sister's bed—"

"Get to the point!" Luo gently gritted his teeth and interrupted.

"Oh," Luo You'er stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, "Anyway, based on the smell, I found Room No. 129, Yuanyuan. The shopkeeper said there was only one person living in it, and that was you!"

Harm, it turned out not to use the method of licking.

Xia Fan spread his hands, "The exam doesn't stipulate that you can't use quack tricks. Besides, this is the hotel lobby. If you do it here, you are not afraid of violating the rules of the exam? For a bottle of spiritual fire, is it necessary to mobilize so many teachers——"

"For...spiritual fire?" Luo lightly pulled out the wooden sword, "Shameless! You have the nerve to say that... I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"

"Wait, is it that serious?"

"It's no use talking too much!" With a soft scold, she rushed towards Xia Fan, and the sword shadow in her hand pointed straight at his neck like a scare.

Xia Fan had no choice but to parry with his sword, trying to overwhelm the opponent with strength.

But the two swords did not intersect. Luo Qingqing's sword tip just slightly tapped the sword body, and then it slid away naturally, stabbing towards the mouth of the bowl he sent up as if borrowing force.

He immediately changed his color, and directly let go of the hilt to avoid the blow. At the same time, he changed hands to grab the blade, and threw the wooden sword at the opponent like a hammer.

And this unexpected move didn't cause her any trouble, just a simple flash, she dodged to dodge his counterattack.

In just one round, Xia Fan was already at a disadvantage.

After all, if he switched to a real sword, he would not be able to change his hand to hold the blade, and the weapon would be knocked down with one move, and the result can be imagined.

This is the strength of the Luo family genius?

The next few fights made him confirm one point - the woman in front of him is different from those who have won before. In terms of using the sword, she is already close to being able to retract and release, and her proficiency in skills makes up for her strength He is a really good player who has received systematic training.

And he was already a little stretched just to deal with the continuous attacks.

"hiss--"

Another oblique stab after a feint, Luo lightly raised his sword and rushed forward, stabbing Xia Fan's chest, who was unable to parry.

As he tried his best to turn sideways, the wooden sword slashed against his skin, tearing a big tear in his clothes, and the medicine bags and sundries hidden in the inner pocket spilled out immediately.

He was in a bad mood, even though the opponent was holding a wooden sword, if he was stabbed, the fate would never be any better. If he was unlucky, it would be normal to break a bone or two.

It will be a matter of time before the fight continues like this!

The question is how to fight back?

Although under the influence of his master, he is quite proficient in the tricks of the rivers and lakes, but it does not mean that he only knows them. As one of the few people who can sense qi, alchemy is his real trump card.

It's just that that technique... belongs to the "shock" method, its power is difficult to control, and after his improvement, even if it is performed twice, it may be fatal. Xia Fan does not want to use it on the candidates of the same period unless it is absolutely necessary.

It's ridiculous to risk your life for a bottle of spiritual fire.

And this guy, too, didn't he just take a bottle of the source of spiritual fire from her? It's unreasonable to even include shamelessness and despicableness——

Wait... Xia Fan was startled suddenly, he found that he seemed to have overlooked some important points.

"Your powers of observation are sharper than I expected, but it's a pity you're using it where it shouldn't be."

"The thief entered the house through the window, and at the side of the senior sister's bed—"

He couldn't help but think of what the two had said before.

Could it be that Luo Qingqing lived in that bedroom at that time?

Hey, isn't it... Doesn't this mean that after bewildering everyone, he sneaked into a woman's boudoir alone?

"Stop, stop!" Xia Fan yelled after barely avoiding the opponent's attack, "You don't think I did something rude to you, do you?"

Luo Qingqing staggered suddenly, and his fierce moves suddenly became chaotic.

"Otherwise," Luo You'er yelled, "When senior sister woke up in the morning, she found that the quilt was all on the floor. The smell can also show that you stayed the longest in front of the bed—"

"Shut up!" Luo lightly cast a murderous look.

The latter quickly covered his mouth.

Xia Fan was startled, it turned out to be the reason!

"You two, don't spoil my innocence, okay?" He defended himself while hiding his sword, "I didn't notice the person lying on the bed when I went in, so how could I do that kind of thing? Besides, the bottle is hidden under the bed. Isn't it natural to stay by the bed the longest! As for the quilt falling off...couldn't it be because you didn't sleep well and kicked it off yourself."

"Wow... Senior Sister, he has such a thick skin." Luo You'er said with emotion.

"Of course you won't admit it, and I didn't expect you to admit it." Luo lightly gritted his teeth and raised his sword again, "Scholar examination regulations prohibit murdering examinees, but I can still beat you half to death!"

"What if I can provide evidence?"

Those words made her stop.

"What evidence?"

"Smell." Xia Fan pointed to her junior sister, "Do you use a sachet? If I want to do something to you, I will stick very close to you. In this way, there will definitely be some similar smell left on my body. Let your junior sister smell it well, won't you know?"

"But the store also said that you asked for a basin of hot water at night." Luo You'er pouted, "Who knows if you washed yourself clean."

Come on, why does the waiter in this shop talk about everything as long as he gives money... Can you give the customers a sense of privacy?

"Do you think I look like I have been washed?"

"..." Luo said after a moment of silence, "Whether he washed it or not, you can tell by smelling it."

"Uh, but Senior Sister—"

"Go, I want to hear the most detailed answer," she narrowed her eyes slightly, "teacher-sister."

Probably feeling the killing intent contained in this, Luo Youer shuddered, and had no choice but to walk towards Xia Fan helplessly.

After approaching, she took out a mint leaf and put it in front of her, then said softly, "Xunshu Guixu, Xunfeng!"

The leaves instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke.

Luo You'er inhaled the smoke, and sniffed around Xia Fan for a long time, her expression gradually complicated.

"What's the answer?" Luo Qingqing's voice became more and more cold, as if she would strike immediately as soon as Junior Sister nodded.

"That... Senior Sister, he doesn't smell like you."

"What?" She retracted her already stepped foot, "Are you sure?"

"It's so recent, there's nothing wrong with it." Luo You'er waved her hands in disgust, "Not only did he not take a shower, he probably didn't stop in the middle of the night."

"How?" Luo asked gently.

"There's a stench of corruption, mud and grass, and...the smell of blood." She ran back to her senior sister, "Where did you go after that?"

"I just accidentally fell down when I was going back the same way. Fortunately, it was relatively close to the ground." Xia Fan pretended to be relaxed and said, "Now can you believe it? To be honest, I put all my attention on finding the bottle I don’t even know if the person lying on the bed is a man or a woman.”

"But you still went in." Luo whispered softly.

"Yes, without knowing it. I apologize for this." Xia Fan can fully understand the other party's shame and anger at this moment. In this era, the reputation of unmarried girls is by no means a joke. Improperness is the tragedy of a lifetime. "I will never tell this matter to the public, as long as your fellow disciples—" He noticed at this time that the people who came were all female disciples of the Luo family, "If they don't tell, no one else will know about it in the future."

After a long silence, Luo nodded slightly.

It could be seen that she was also relieved.

"The source of the bottle of spiritual fire..."

"It's the negligence of the night watch disciples, and the allocation quota will also be deducted from them." Luo Qingwei returned to his previous appearance, "As for whether they will come to trouble you, I personally will not interfere."

"And the things in this tavern..." Xia Fan glanced at the messy lobby - the other party was clearly angry just now, so he naturally didn't care about the tables and chairs beside them.

"As long as the compensation is paid according to the price, it is not considered a violation of the rules, and the Luo family will handle it properly."

Sure enough...she noticed this loophole, or the "trap" in the rules.

"Besides, I'll ask the store to send you a new one for your clothes." Luo coughed lightly, "This... I also have..." Halfway through speaking, her voice was so low that it could not be heard.

"You mean, do you go too far?" Luo You'er tilted her head and said, "If the voice is too low, others won't be able to hear it."

As a matter of course, the junior sister exchanged a heavy hand knife.

"Then, I'll take my leave first." Luo gently put away the wooden sword.

"No."

Xia Fan couldn't imitate the other party's straightforwardness, and he had to pick up the herbs he had spilled.

At this moment, Luo, who had already taken half a step towards the entrance of the corridor, stopped slightly, and looked at Xia Fan in surprise, "Wait a minute!"

"Anything else?"

He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, the other party had squatted in front of him, and he had squeezed out a piece of metal creation from the scattered sundries.

"This thing... where did you get it?"

Luo Qingqing's expression seemed to be a little more dignified than when he was held accountable before.
