Lord of Nine Stars

After working as a mannequin all morning, Rong Taotao was finally let go by Si Huanian.

During lunch, Xia Fangran finally led Li Ziyi and Sun Xingyu back to the city. They came to the martial arts field and found Rong Taotao, the "old man walking around."

Except for Rong Taotao who was asked by Si Huanian to be a model, Rong Taotao has always been obedient and worked hard, circling around the martial arts arena tirelessly, lap after lap.

At this time, Rong Taotao was already quite proficient in mastering the soul skill Snow Stepping. It was like walking normally without thinking too much. It was a natural state of "walking on snow".

Rong Taotao's little head is quite smart, and he also understands Li Ziyi's character better.

Seeing that Li Ziyi was not "bitter and resentful", Rong Taotao knew that he should have succeeded a long time ago. He just stayed with Sun Xingyu specifically and returned to the city with her at noon.

"Let's go and eat." Xia Fangran waved to Rong Taotao and saw Si Huanian who was still teaching in the martial arts arena.

The two teachers looked at each other and nodded friendly, but said no more words.

Rong Taotao was a little surprised. The two teachers must not be familiar with each other, which could be seen from their unusually polite behavior.

Well, think about it too.

One is "Songhun Four Seasons" and the other is affiliated to "Songhun Four Rites". They are organized in different ways, so it's normal to be unfamiliar with them.

To say something that shouldn't be said, Songjiang Hunwu's teaching staff is so strong, there are probably many factions among them.

Of course, with the current status and strength of Rong Taotao and others, they are not able to access these.

"How is it?" Xia Fangran put his arm around Rong Taotao's shoulders, his attitude obviously changed a lot.

From the beginning when he wanted to give Rong Taotao a blow, to now he is so friendly and cheerful. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with Rong Taotao.

Especially when Xia Fangran came back and saw Rong Taotao walking around the martial arts arena step by step, Xia Fangran was even more satisfied with this obedient child.

Xia Fangran was blind. How did he know that Rong Taotao was working part-time as a mannequin just now?

A group of people walked towards the college dormitory building. There was a restaurant on the first floor. Due to the sudden snowstorm, all the social practitioners who had been recalled were driven away. Now the dormitory building was empty, except for the students in the juvenile class. Occupied 3 bedrooms.

Rong Taotao was chatting with Xia Fangran. When they walked to the Central Road, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, a group of snowy night terrors appeared in people's sight.

"Be safe!" the leading soldier shouted.

Rong Taotao and the others hurriedly backed away.

When the army passes by, all living beings retreat.

But I didn’t expect that the wait would take a full 10 minutes!

From the south gate to the north gate of Baituan Pass, the road in the middle is the widest.

Even the huge Snowy Night Terror can walk five abreast.

Rong Taotao and others waited by the roadside for a full 10 minutes, watching the majestic war horses galloping past in front of them, and the sound of horse hoofs could be heard incessantly.

Rong Taotao's face became more and more astonished, as if no matter how hard he waited, he couldn't wait for the last soldier at the end.

"How many soldiers are there here?" Rong Taotao looked up stupidly and couldn't help but touch Xia Fangran with his elbow, "What's the situation?"

"Hey" Xia Fangran sighed and looked up at the gray sky.

The snowflakes in Baituan Pass are like goose feathers, falling freely.

But outside Baituan Pass, there was the terrifying violent snowstorm.

Such a massive deployment of troops must be related to this huge snowstorm.

Could it be

A bad premonition arose in Xia Fangran's heart.

Only for the snowy land of northern China, war is the main theme here, and peace is only temporary.

Is there a situation on the front line again?

With this scale of military support, I'm afraid the situation is very critical.

Soldiers flashed quickly in front of Rong Taotao's eyes. There were men and women, with extremely solemn expressions.

This is a very strange feeling. Rong Taotao rarely experienced life and death battlefields, but from the almost identical expressions of these soldiers, Rong Taotao seemed to feel a "go to death" mentality.

The large group of people finally passed by, and the sound of splintering horse hooves gradually faded away, leaving behind a trio of people standing blankly amid the dancing snowflakes.

"Let's go and eat. In the future, you will get used to seeing each other more." Xia Fangran's tone was relaxed, but in fact, he was not relaxed inside.

Even Xia Fangran rarely saw such scale of military support, but as a teacher, Xia Fangran didn't need to talk too much to the students.

After all, these three little guys are still too far away from the outside world.

After several people had lunch, Xia Fangran took the trio up to the city wall and stood between the city teeth, letting them absorb soul power and cultivate the heart of ice and snow.

Xia Fangran, however, did not rest. He also stood, but looked far away, looking at the wind and snow in the sky. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of wind and snow and see what was happening outside.

The day's teaching was not over until dinner time. Xia Fangran left alone, leaving behind a trio of people who had a full schedule and were about to go to the classroom for evening classes.

"Hey, how many soldiers did you say there were at noon?" Sun Xingyu bumped Li Ziyi's arm with her shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Li Ziyi shook his head and said: "At least several thousand, right? At that speed, maybe tens of thousands are possible?"

The trio came to the classroom while chatting. In an instant, their heavy mentality changed.

Everything is only because of one person in this stone classroom - Yang Chunxi.

There was a bright smile on her face, which seemed to melt the layers of ice and snow on the snowy land. There was a hint of tenderness in her bright eyes as she looked at the students who had just walked in.

"Hello, teacher~" Sun Xingyu waved to Yang Chunxi.

"Yes." Yang Chunxi smiled and nodded in response, "Come earlier next time."

"Oh." Sun Xingyu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Looking at the classroom full of students, she hurriedly ran to her seat.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go to class in advance. We don't follow the time." Yang Chunxi held the podium with both hands, looked at the students below, couldn't help but smile, and said, "I know you are all tired today, you have experienced a lot, right? ?”

Although no one answered, those "injured" little faces still answered Yang Chunxi's question.

Yang Chunxi continued: "As the first class of school, I don't plan to teach cultural classes. You are the youth class students selected at different levels. Let's get to know each other first."

The students looked at each other, and they all knew each other's names, and quite a few of them were even familiar with each other during the previous snowfield assessment.

Yang Chunxi was very gentle, completely different from several practical teachers today. She said softly: "There is a saying among Chinese people that the soul warriors who come to practice in the snowy land must be people of faith."

Rong Taotao was very familiar with this sentence and recognized it.

"Come from one group first." Yang Chunxi looked at Fan Lihua at table 1 and said, "You are from the south of the Yangtze River. Why didn't you choose to become an ocean and starry soul warrior instead of coming to the snow realm?"

For a moment, the students all looked at Fan Lihua.

Fan Lihua seemed a little shy, lowered her head slightly, and replied in a low voice: "My family asked me to come, and I came just as I did."

Yang Chunxi: "Oh? Did your family make the decision together with you?"

Fan Lihua lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Mom and Dad."

Yang Chunxi nodded thoughtfully. Children who have just graduated from junior high school have not yet fully formed their three views on life. Of course, it is understandable to follow the arrangements of their parents.

She looked at Shi Lan in the back seat of Fan Lihua and said, "What about you?"

call!

Shi Lan suddenly stood up, startling everyone!

It can be said to be full of energy!

I only heard Shi Lan say: "I want to enter the snow vortex!"

"Oh?" Yang Chunxi became interested and looked at Shi Lan with interest, "Why?"

"Hey." Shi Lan, who has a heroic face, showed a completely inconsistent and naive temperament, "My grandfather was a snow soldier. Before I was 10 years old, I was brought up by my grandfather. Every time before going to bed, , he would always tell me and my sister bedtime stories, all of which happened in the snow.

He had many regrets in his military career. He said that he had never been into a snow vortex and he didn't know what it was like inside.

I want to see what it's like there and tell him about it when I go back! "

Shi Lan was full of ambition and said loudly: "When he was young, he told us stories and coaxed me to sleep. When he gets old, I will tell him stories and coax him to sleep."

Yang Chunxi looked at Shi Lan quietly and sighed softly in her heart.

In a few words, Yang Chunxi seemed to think of a gray-haired old man who sat by the sisters' bed every night, with the dim night light, softly telling the past experiences and coaxing the two children into sleep.

Yang Chunxi said softly: "Where is your grandfather now?"

"Ah," Shi Lan's face fell, and she said, "In a battle, he lost his legs, so he returned to his hometown in Guanzhong and stayed in Chang'an City, the land of Sanqin."

Yang Chunxi nodded and said: "So your parents are both Xingye Soul Warriors, but you left your hometown and came to the land of snow."

In fact, Shilou and Shilan's father was adopted by his grandfather, but there is no need for Shilou to say this here.

Shi Lan clenched her fists and nodded heavily: "Yes, grandpa is getting older and older. I have to become stronger quickly and go back early to tell him what it is like inside the snow vortex."

At some point, Fan Lihua, who was sitting at the table in front of Shi Lan, turned around.

Fan Lihua raised her face and opened her mouth slightly, looking up at Shi Lan's face.

At this moment, in Fan Lihua's eyes, Shi Lan, who was already tall, looked infinitely taller and even radiant!

Fan Lihua looked at Shi Lan's narrow eyes, and her heart trembled slightly.

In Shi Lan's eyes, Fan Lihua found something she had never had before.

Its name is "Dream".

From childhood to adulthood, at what age did she start martial arts, what kind of weapons did she learn, what kind of tutoring classes did she attend, which middle school did she go to, and even until now, what kind of university did Fan Lihua go to?

Everything is arranged by parents.

Fan Lihua doesn't talk much. She is well-behaved and timid in front of her parents. She has always been obedient and obeyed her parents' wishes. She came to the Snow Realm and successfully entered the juvenile class.

Until this moment, Fan Lihua finally found what she had been missing in others.

Teacher Yang Chunxi said that everyone who comes here is a person of faith.

So why did I come here?

As if sensing Fan Lihua's dazed gaze, Shi Lan lowered her head and smiled at Fan Lihua.

"Hmm." Fan Lihua's face turned red, she hurriedly lowered her head and turned around.

This girl from Jiangnan seems to be too shy
