Martial Cultivator

Zhu Xia finished two bowls of pimple soup with satisfaction, and her belly was bulging. Chen Chao, under the resentful eyes of the stall owner, paid the bill and left. At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and it was already evening. The two finally arrived. The entrance of the academy.

As Wei Xu said, the gods are very quiet nowadays, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to cause trouble, so there are no problems along the way.

The two of them walked into the academy and came to the South Lake. They were both a little happy listening to the chirping of insects in the summer night.

Zhu Xia touched her belly, looked at the young man in black with the knife hanging in front of her, and then said with a naive smile, "I'm so full!"

Chen Chao just felt a little helpless and didn't say anything. He just thought that he had brought the person himself, so why was there no one in the academy to pick him up?

I just wanted to bring this girl to the academy, but who should I give it to?

This is a problem.

Chen Chao stopped by the lake, found a bench and sat down, staring at the center of the lake in a daze.

Zhu Xia came to him and sat down. She was a little tired after walking for such a long time and wanted to sit for a while.

Sitting by the lake, he suddenly saw some faint light in the distance. After a closer look, it turned out to be some fireflies. Zhu Xia spread his hands excitedly, waiting for a firefly to land on his palm, and shouted with some joy, "Look, Liuying?!" "

Chen Chao nodded and said tiredly, "Yes, not bad."

He was casually dealing with the girl in front of him, just like what most men in the world often do.

Maybe it was because Zhu Xia was too young, or maybe it was because he was already immersed in those fireflies at the moment, so he didn't hear anything at all. He just said to himself, "There are no such things in Xishan. I heard from the master that he has opened a mountain protection array." Because of this, butterflies and other things can’t fly in.”

"By the way, if you have a chance, come to our Xishan as a guest. I will show you the mountain scenery!" Zhu Xia was a little excited. The mountain scenery of Xishan is indeed very famous among the monks outside the country.

"Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance."

Chen Chao leaned on the bench, actually feeling a little sleepy.

I have experienced a lot today, not to mention the life-and-death battle with the old man in Mai. Just earlier, after fighting those assassins and the thin middle-aged man, I was already very tired, especially It was a fight with that thin man. It seemed that he defeated the opponent very quickly, but in fact it was also extremely laborious.

The injury was not serious, but the damage was too much.

So he has no energy at the moment.

Zhu Xia glanced at Chen Chao and was about to speak when suddenly there was some light in the distance.

Only then did Chen Chao become more energetic, thinking that someone must be coming to pick up this little girl.

\u003e He cheered up and looked into the distance.

The light quickly approached here. It was a lantern. The light was not too bright, but the figure was not tall. It didn't look like the scholar before. Could it be an academy student traveling at night?

Chen Chao frowned, but he could understand the fact that there were students wandering around at night in the middle of the night. After all, this was an academy, what couldn't happen?

But he also quickly remembered something and knew that the academy was rumored to be haunted earlier.

Is there really a ghost?

Chen Chao silently put his hand on the handle of the knife.

Until the lantern gets closer and closer.

Only then did he see clearly who was coming. She was also a girl.

Chen Chao let go of the knife handle with some embarrassment and smiled softly to hide his embarrassment.

Hope the other party doesn't notice.

Chen Chao became more energetic, but when he thought of a girl sitting next to him, he quickly moved to the side.

The girl carrying the lantern who came here is Xie Nandu.

Zhu Xia also happened to raise his head, and the two girls' eyes met in the night, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Chen Chao felt something was not right, so he stood up silently and said with a smile, "Are you here?"

Xie Nandu glanced at the young man he had not seen for several days, frowned, and said, "You should be here."

The academy is not the academy of the Chen Dynasty, but it can be said to be the academy of Xie Nandu.

Chen Chao thought to himself why the atmosphere tonight was so subtle, so he said nothing.

Xie Nandu had turned his head and looked at Zhu Xia.

The two looked at each other again.

Zhu Xia asked, "Are you that genius girl from the academy, Xie Nandu?"

Her voice was a little crisp, and her tone was even more direct, but it didn't sound impolite. It just made people think that this girl had a very straightforward temper.

Of course, Chen Chao had already experienced it and naturally knew this. It was just Xie Nandu's first meeting with her. It would be hard to say if this left a bad impression on this girl.

Chen Chao was a little worried, but then he thought, does it matter whether these two people like him or not?

It seems that my worries are really unnecessary.

Thinking of this, Chen Chao laughed at himself.

Xie Nandu looked at her and said

"You are the saint of Wantian Palace, Zhu Xia."

Two sentences, one has some meaning of inquiry, the other does not, but in fact they both have the same meaning.

"I heard about you earlier. You are the dean's close disciple."

Zhu Xia looked at Xie Nandu with some curiosity on her face. She was really interested in the dean, and since Xie Nandu was the dean's disciple and the last one, she was naturally very interested as well.

"I've also heard about you, the Saint of Wantian Palace. Why did you start practicing after all these years?"

Zhu Xia is a few years younger than her, but she was brought into Wantian Palace much earlier than Xie Nandu entered the academy. However, she only started practicing in the past two years, which is similar to Xie Nandu.

"There are some problems with my cultivation method. If I am too young, it will be difficult."

The method of cultivation is a great secret of monks, and most people will not tell others at will.

But Zhu Xia is already good at saying this. This is related to her straightforward temperament.

Xie Nandu hummed and said, "You want to live in the academy?"

Zhu Xia also hummed, "Mr. Wei told me."

After each of them said a word, it seemed that they had nothing to say. Xie Nandu picked up the lantern and was about to leave. Zhu Xia said behind her, "I heard someone said that you are planning to win the first prize in the literary test?"

Xie Nandu turned around, glanced at Zhu Xia, nodded and said, "Yes."

There is nothing to hide. Since she is going to take the literary test, she naturally wants to win the first prize. She has been reading seriously these days, so she feels that there is no problem in winning the first prize.

Zhu Xia laughed and said confidently, "I am the leader of the literary test this time!"

She came to Shendu this time not only to see the academy, but also to take part in the literary test. Naturally, she was preparing to win the first prize in the literary test. What's more, Wantian Palace only sent her to take part in the literary test. This shows that the How much confidence she has.

Xie Nandu snorted and said, "It's not just about talking."

Whether it is the literary test or the martial arts test of Wanliuhui, they all rely on comparison.

Zhu Xia smiled and said, "See you then."

Xie Nandu nodded and repeated, "See you then."

After saying this, she looked at Chen Chao, who had been ignoring him, and asked, "Are you still sleeping outside today?"

"I'm really tired today. I don't want to run around anymore. I have to ask you to take me in for one night."

Chen Chao felt a little guilty. He always felt that there was something unexplained about Xie Nandu in front of him. Anyway, when he looked into her eyes, he felt that there were many words hidden in them.

Zhu Xia looked at this scene and frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

I can't tell what that feeling is, it's just a little uncomfortable.

"Where is your senior brother? I brought Zhu Xia, but where will she stay tonight?"

Chen Chao looked at Xie Nandu. Since this matter fell on Zuo Wei, he always had to hand over the person's safety to the other party's hands to complete the matter. But now that he is here, the person who came to pick him up is not there. Knowing where it was, this made Chen Chao feel a little helpless and a headache.

You can't leave this saint of Wantian Palace by the lake.

Besides, they are still friends now.

Xie Nandu smiled, said nothing, and just left with the lantern.

Chen Chaozheng felt a little melancholy.

There was some light again in the distance, and a lantern was approaching.

It was the scholar from earlier, Wei Xu.

He came out of the night, looking no different than during the day. He was still looking here with a smile, like an ordinary scholar.

The scholar holding the lantern matches the lakeside very well.

Chen Chao arched his hands.

Wei Xu smiled and nodded without saying anything. Then he looked at Zhu Xia and said, "Holy girl, please, sir and your master have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhu Xia nodded, then turned around, smiled at Chen Chao and said, "Commander Chen, see you later."

Commander Chen, a somewhat playful title.

Chen Chao had no reaction and just said, "It shouldn't be difficult to meet in the academy, right?"

Zhu Xia heard this and said softly, "I'm sorry."

There was a little girl's emotion in these words, but Chen Chao didn't understand it and didn't notice it at all, so he just remained silent and didn't say anything.

Zhu Xia whispered, "You won't be angry, right? We are friends."

After hearing such cute words, Chen Chao could only shake his head and said, "How could I be angry? Of course we are friends."

Zhu Xia felt better and said with a smile, "I'll come and play with you again when I have time."

Chen Chao thought for a moment and did not refuse, but nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhu Xia waved to him, then rubbed her belly and followed Wei Xu.

Chen Chao stood there, looking at the backs of the two people, and yawned, feeling really sleepy.
