Monster Hunting High School

Hearing the witch's last words, Zheng Qing's heart skipped a beat. The suggestions from the old wizards on Mount Li that he heard earlier on the performance stage echoed in his ears again, and he subconsciously tugged at his sleeves. .

"Well, speaking of those talismans..."

The wizard mumbled and asked tentatively in a vague tone: "I heard that if you get a high score on the acting stage, you will receive some invitations? Do you know about this?"

"Just heard?" Jiang Yu gave him a half-smiling look.

Zheng Qing looked around guiltily, coughed heavily, and took out a thick stack of invitations from his sleeve.

"It's a lot to gain."

The witch took the invitations, briefly flipped through them, and slightly raised her lips: "Let me see, um, the O'Brien family, the Black family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Shaoxing Zhou family... oh, the Tianmen Zhang family is also there. I gave you an invitation letter. Zhang Jixin regards you as his brother, but do you plan to be his little uncle? "

She gave the wizard a sideways look.

Zheng Qing shook his head like a rattle.

The witch did not continue to look at the specific contents of the invitations. She rubbed her fingers gently and ignited a ball of real fire at her fingertips, turning them into a ball of fly ash: "...the biggest worry of the wizard family is that there are no successors. Therefore, in a hunting club like Shanglin Garden, every family will extend an olive branch to interested 'new blood'... but they may not necessarily let you breed."

Listening to Jiang Yu's understatement of the 'tiger and wolf' words, Zheng Qing was startled and couldn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, almost choking him half to death.

The witch turned a blind eye.

"...But whether it's a consultant, a retainer, a worshipper, etc., these jobs with different names but similar obligations have no meaning to you."

Having said this, she grabbed the wizard, took his arm again, and continued to walk forward along the winding and quiet path, standing straight: "Just like the conditions in those invitations. There are some in them, My family can provide it; even if it is not available here, my family can provide it. So, you don’t need these things.”

The attitude is a bit domineering.

Zheng Qing didn't have any resentment at all, he just felt that what she said was the truth.

Only the sentence "Qingqiu's family can also provide it" was a little abrupt, and he couldn't help but glance at her secretly, as if he wanted to understand the deeper meaning of her words.

Perhaps sensing the boy's gaze, the witch turned her head and looked at him kindly: "You are thinking about what the Qingqiu family can provide that my family does not have for the time being, right?"

"Hmm, huh?" Zheng Qing nodded his head twice before he realized what she had said. He shook his head in shock and quickly denied: "No, no, no, I didn't think that..."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Jiang Yu curled her lips, somewhat disapproving of the boy's caution: "...At the very least, my family can't provide the 'most beautiful woman in the wizarding world' and 'a little fox that is closely related to you' for the time being."

Zheng Qing took a deep breath, feeling a toothache for no reason.

He just felt that the witch next to him was very different from usual at this moment. It seemed that the quiet and uninhabited environment around her made her much bolder, and she looked a bit unscrupulous.

Perhaps the witch also felt that something was wrong. She changed the topic and mentioned what happened on the performance stage earlier: "Speaking of which, what were you thinking before? You rushed to the performance stage rashly and interrupted other people's challenges. Race!”

Although there was a bit of complaint in his words, his happy tone was unabashedly revealed.

Zheng Qing knew that the score was increased this time.

"I just saw that you were in danger and didn't think much about it."

He rubbed the back of his head and replied honestly: "You were not in the audience, so you didn't see how dangerous it was. There were so many fire snakes lying on you like crazy, and the entire stage seemed to be on fire, and the air was on fire." They were all roasted and twisted, and I could hardly breathe across a lake!"

His description is not exaggerated at all.

Just recalling the scene in his mind, he was sure that if he saw such a situation next time, he would definitely rush forward.

The witch turned her face and looked at him tenderly, but what she said made Zheng Qing unable to let go of his hand touching the back of his head.

"Don't trust any foxes, they are all liars."

She seemed to be talking about what happened on the performance stage, but she also seemed to be hinting at something else: "Especially the fox clan of the Tushan family, they are also very good at illusions... It just so happens that light and shadow can easily create illusions, so we have to Be extra careful about what you see in the firelight, don’t be fooled easily! Didn’t Professor Yi repeatedly emphasize that you should be extra careful about what you see in the firelight?”

Zheng Qing broke it open and crushed it into pieces, carefully considering every word she said.

In the end, he was very sure that the witch was talking about more than just the Tushan family fox being good at illusions.

Snapped!

Far away, outside the forest, a few more fireworks seemed to rise in the sky.

This time neither of them looked back.

Because the old castle at the end of the path was getting closer and closer, like a big toad squatting on the hill, its mouth open, greedily devouring every passer-by.

"...The order of performances on stage during the day does not seem to be arranged according to the strokes of the last name or the first letter of the pinyin?"

Zheng Qing felt that there seemed to be endless topics to talk about between the two of them. After every question, he could immediately think of another more interesting topic.

"of course not."

Jiang Yu glanced at him in surprise: "Ordering by the strokes of the surname? You can't imagine it! Doesn't that mean the status of the big clan and the small clan is equal? ​​The order of acting is based on different factors such as family prestige, generation, age, strength, etc. It is decided on the spot by the elders of each clan. Of course, just like Tu Shan and you on stage, the order of the roster is not strictly followed in many cases..."

The two of them said something to each other, each word shortening the distance between them and the castle.

The bushes on both sides of the path are becoming more and more tidy, and the flowers and plants on the roadside are becoming less and less. Sparse cobblestones begin to appear on the road, then neat cobblestones, then bluestone slabs and flower beds, stone fudou and stone deer, A low tree man plodding along to take care of the lawn.

Finally, the path came to an end, and the two stood under the tower on the side of the castle.

"Okay, it's almost time. I really should go prepare dinner... You don't want to be hungry when you go to the dance party at night."

Jiang Yu said half-jokingly, letting go of the wizard's arm, straightening his collar, patting the non-existent dust on his shoulders, and suggested: "There are many strangers on the island, don't run around, if you are really bored You can go to Luolongyan to play with Da Mao... Of course, if you think Luolongyan is smelly, you can also go to Luolongyan to play with Vivian."

Zheng Qing felt for no reason that this 'suggestion' was more like some kind of implicit 'warning'.

"No, it's not boring at all."

He righteously rejected the witch's suggestion, raised his head and glanced at the castle in front of him, and added: "...This castle looks worth visiting...I can spend the whole afternoon alone!"
