"I'm Lin Xi. I'm going to the Yan Guan Institution to pay my respects to old senior Huo Xing!" Lin Xi bowed respectfully.
"He has come to pay his respects to Vice President Huo!" A cultivator exclaimed.
Another tall cultivator said to Lin Xi with a smile, "Mr. Lin, please come with us to the reception to rest for a while!"
He followed behind the cultivator and within a few minutes of walking, he arrived at a man-made col. In this col, he could clearly see everything on the road, and in this col, there were also three houses. This was a temporary area for the patrol.
Lin Xi was brought into a small room where birds of the same size, black and white, were kept. When they entered the room, the birds did not show the slightest sign of panic. It seemed like they were no longer surprised by the human race.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"
The tall monk made a strange sound and made a strange expression at a bird.
Lin Xi thought to herself, "Don't tell me this person knows how to speak birdsong?" This is too ridiculous! "
"Puff, puff ~ ~"
The bird flew away, heading towards the highest point of the mountain, which was the location of the Smoke Pass Academy.
The cultivator turned around and said to Lin Xi, "I've already sent a message to Vice President Huo that you want to see him!"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded. "Thank you!" In his heart, however, he was greatly astonished as he muttered, "This person really knows how to speak bird language. Isn't he too heaven-defying?"
Time passed bit by bit. Three cultivators sat around Lin Xi in the room, while the other two probably went out to tail them.
The four of them didn't say a word. Lin Xi looked around at the three cultivators who were staring at her, smiling wryly in her heart. "I'm going in to be punished, and I might never be able to get out alive."
"Forget it, just watch carefully!" Now that I have absorbed a bit more of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, I have to prepare myself for the next step of breaking into the Nether Realm of the [Void Spirit Art]! " Lin Xi's eyes glazed over for a moment as she thought about it. "Ever since I successfully broke through to the Great Circle of the Netherworld Realm at the mountain behind the Water Moon Temple on Void Bamboo Island, there hasn't been any sign of a breakthrough. Could it be that I can't cultivate anymore …"
Thinking up to here, Lin Xi's heart couldn't help but shiver. She thought about all the things that had happened during her training in the Elephant Mountain.
Lin Xi helplessly shook her head slightly, thinking to herself, "It's really 'A year of being bitten by a snake is like a well rope'. I didn't make any headway this time, all of them are steady and steady. It's probably just that the time isn't right yet. Well, right, the time isn't!" Then, a smile appeared on Lin Xi's face.
The three patrolling cultivators who were watching Lin Xi closely, seeing the many changes in her expression, actually started to be vigilant without leaving any traces, just in case Lin Xi made any unusual movements.
At this moment, a black and white shadow quickly rushed into the room and landed on the tall and big cultivator's shoulder. It was the bird that had just flown out. The bird let out a chirp.
The tall cultivator used his hand to stroke the bird's head, passing it a small piece of meat into its mouth. The bird swallowed the meat in one gulp. Soon after, its pitch-black eyes began to shine brightly.
Lin Xi watched the changes in the bird's eyes curiously. At this moment, the voice of the tall cultivator entered her ears, "This is the message that Vice Dean Huo gave you. Take a look!"
After saying that, a ray of light shot out from Bird's eyes and landed on the wall opposite him. Like an image, Vice President Huo's figure appeared within the image.
Surprised and surprised, Lin Xi secretly made up her mind that if she had the chance, she would also raise such a bird.
He said gently, "Very good, you are able to take on your responsibilities and you are very faithful. You are able to come to the Yanzhou College on time, and now is the Hai hour. Before the Zi time arrives, that is, before midnight, I wish for you to appear in front of me …"
The screen flashed a few times. The images were too blurry and the voices could not be heard. Not only Lin Xi, the other three cultivators by the side also frowned.
After flashing a few times, he finally returned to normal. In the image, Elder Huo continued, "... On the road up the mountain, there is a 'rookie duet'. They are responsible for beating you down the mountain, but if you really do go down the mountain, hehe, all the patrol leaders at the foot of the mountain are waiting for you … "Also, it's too late for you to leave even if you want!"
Lin Xi didn't feel anything from Old Huo's words, but the three cultivators beside him all grinned, looked surprised, and even a little scared.
The bird's eyes returned to their original inky black and flew back to its original position. The tall cultivator smiled and asked, "Sir Lin, are you related to Old Huo?"
If it was really because of Liang Min's injuries, then he would blame himself for it. However, he had met her once when he was cultivating at the Elephant Mountain, and Elder Huo had a good impression of him. Lin Xi didn't know how to answer when someone suddenly asked her.
"Why do you think I have anything to do with old man Huo?"
Another cultivator could not help but say, "There's no such thing as a 'rookie duet' for you? Using a patrol leader to surround them from behind? If I didn't put you to death, why would I waste so much effort! "
A dark skinned cultivator stared fiercely at the cultivator that just spoke and said, "Don't talk nonsense. From what I see, Vice Principal Huo must be nurturing this kid at the end of the line. Why would you need to use a newbie duet to kill him?" You and I both know that this' rookie duet 'is meant for freshmen who want to be admitted to the academy. "
"Nonsense!" If a new student were to be accepted, only a hundred people would be able to pass through. If he wants to pass by himself, what do you think he is? Can he possess a Spirit Severing cultivation and excellent martial arts!? " The cultivator said unwillingly.
The tall and big cultivator impatiently scolded, "Both of you shut up. It is not your turn to be suspicious about Old Vice Principal Huo's thoughts." The two cultivators who had earned their money lowered their heads and calmed their hearts to suppress their anger.
Gao Daxu turned his head with an embarrassed smile on his face and said to Lin Xi, "Sir Lin was just ridiculing me just now, you still need to hurry. Sir Lin, please hurry to the Academy!"
Lin Xi waved his hand, telling the cultivator not to mind, then turned around and walked out. Just as he was about to reach the door, Lin Xi turned towards a bird by the side and imitated the tall cultivator's actions from before. He also made a strange expression and made a strange chirping sound, but that bird didn't even look at Lin Xi as it continued to doze off.
The tall cultivator looked at Lin Xi in astonishment, then said to Lin Xi, "This Sunbird has intelligence, it recognizes master!"
Lin Xi smiled awkwardly, "Oh, hehe, they look quite interesting!"
