There was an extra person in the room.
It was a man dressed in black, wearing a black cloak that was pressed very low. A long braid hung down, making him look very ancient.
The weird thing was, the rain outside was so heavy that he actually didn't get a single drop of it.
Qin Meng shivered as he looked at the dean, then at him. Because his back was facing her, he could not see his face, and he did not know how old he was.
"Senior."
The dean's voice sounded agitated, but that person did not speak. Instead, he just stood there quietly with his gaze fixed on the wooden bed.
A long time passed. Dawn arrived, and the rain gradually stopped. The first rays of sunlight covered the entire land.
A cool breeze blew, cooling the air.
The heavy rain of the previous night had almost soaked all the streets of the capital, but even so, it was still unable to stop the bustling figures. When the first person passed by the plaza, he was stunned for a moment.
"Is it over?"
"That's right. Such a heavy rain, if it doesn't end, could it be that we'll be able to stay here in the rain?"
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the person noticed some traces in the center of the square. Some of the flat ground had collapsed, forming a huge pit. The person even saw some bloodstains on it.
Very soon, more and more people arrived, and the noisy discussion rose and fell in the sky above the square.
At the same time, within the Firmament Academy, a group of disciples was cheering because early in the morning, everyone had seen the figure of Zheng Zimu returning and they all thought that their powerful Senior Brother Zheng had already won this match.
The news spread faster and faster, from the initial uncertainty of whether he would win, to the current Senior Brother Zheng winning. This kind of change, was quickly frozen because of Zheng Zimu's reputation.
"Zheng Zimu won?"
"As expected!"
"One of the three great geniuses of the Firmament Academy, one who cultivates the Eight Changes of Dance Heaven. How could an ordinary person have access to such a powerful cultivation method?"
Zheng Zimu was also confused, when he finally regained his senses, he was already in the Academy. Not only that, he had even won for no reason?
At the same time, the young disciple in charge of guarding Zheng Zimu was also accepted by a teacher as a disciple.
Deep within the academy, in a quiet courtyard, after receiving the news, Ning Xiaoqian fell silent.
Similarly, in another part of the academy, Lan Yu Mo lightly tapped the wooden table, heavy and regular.
Zheng Zimu won?
How is this possible?
The disciples of the Red Star Academy were all shouting, their faces ugly, with expressions of disbelief.
As a result, someone came to the scene and saw the deep pit.
Some people began to look for Chen Meng for confirmation, but they could not find his figure, and some others went to look for Li Yi, but they were blocked outside the door by Qin Meng.
Is he hurt?
Shixiong Li was injured?
Could it be that he really lost last night?
All of the disciples of the red stars had pale faces.
And towards the news of "Li Yi being injured" that came from the Red Star Academy, a few people laughed, as if this proved their guess, that Zheng Zimu had won.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
It was another spring rain.
The news about the competition between Zheng Zimu and Li Yi slowly faded away.
As for the stakes in the competition, Zheng Zimu did not bring it up again.
Chen Meng had never appeared, and seemed to have disappeared without a trace, so there was not a single bit of news about him. Until now, even the disciples of Red Star Academy were starting to suspect, that he was actually injured? Or …
No one knew.
After a few more days had passed, the capital began to return to its previous calm. The three great academies were the same as before, and the one in the palace seemed to have become even more silent.
As the days approached, the day of the Holy Land selection approached. Geniuses from all over the world appeared one after another, ready to make a move at any time.
On this day, a piece of news suddenly exploded within the capital.
"What?" Did you not pass the qualifications for Red Star Academy to participate in the selection? "
"That's an academy after all, at least it has a bit of strength."
"Shh, this has a lot to do with us. Stop talking nonsense."
Sixty years ago, Red Star Academy announced that they would no longer participate in the selection, and sixty years later, they applied, but they were refuted.
That was to say that during these few days when the news spread out, many Red Star Academy disciples had begun to leave the courtyard.
No matter how much glory this academy had once possessed, it was no longer in a position to do so. This was a matter for Tie Zheng.
"Haha!" Just come to our Firmament Academy. "
"That's right, our Grand History Academy also welcomes you."
Those from the other two academies all smiled, their smiles extremely brilliant.
"Is my Red Star Academy really not going to work?"
"The former glory no longer exists, and I can't believe I've fallen to such a state. What a pity!" People could not help but feel regret.
It was another day when Kong Ming arrived with an imperial edict. More than half of his Red Star Academy had been dismantled, becoming a part of the streets of the capital.
"Senior Brother, I have to go. I might not be suitable for cultivation."
"Senior brother Qin, you are a good person. I will remember you."
"I'm leaving too."
"Goodbye."
"I haven't been home for two years. Maybe I should go back and take a look." One after another, unfamiliar and familiar faces walked past Qin Meng.
No matter what reason they had, Qin Meng did not speak the entire time. His expression was calm, and only nodded his head, showing that he understood.
The Law Palace was also disbanded, and the teacher surnamed Xu was taken over by the people from Firmament Academy.
On this day, the two Elders in charge of the two factions also left the courtyard.
It was unknown when a light drizzle began to fall from the clear sky. Tick, tap, tap … … it hit the streets of the capital city, and the stone plaza was deserted due to the Red Star Academy.
"Senior Sister, I'm leaving."
In front of the Fifth Institute entrance, a fair and delicate youth waved at Qiu Xiaoyi, his smile extremely brilliant.
"Brother!" If it wasn't for Senior Sister praising you, how good would Fifth Institute be? You still want to leave? It makes me sad. " Qiu Xiaoyi felt pity again and again, his eyes opened wide as he recited the words seriously.
Hearing this, the youth's face darkened, "Senior brother Qin wants me to go out and buy some food."
Qiu Xiaoyi was startled for a moment. "Aren't you leaving the Academy?"
The youth's smile stiffened. "No."
Hearing these two words, Qiu Xiaoyi immediately became excited, and his eyes lit up: "Great, you want to buy food? "I'm good, I know the food there is delicious, the Fragrant Sky Tower is not bad, that Phoenix-Tail Chicken, tsk tsk, the thieves are delicious." With that, she pulled the youth away.
In the Fragrant Sky Tower, a group of servants saw Qiu Xiaoyi's figure from afar. Their expressions could not help but change greatly: "Not good, Miss is here again."
The atmosphere of the entire Fragrant Sky Tower could not help but freeze. A group of people's faces turned pale, and looking at Qiu Xiaoyi's figure, it was as though they were looking at a devil in the depths of hell.
Plop!
When the fat middle-aged man upstairs heard the news, he almost fell down. He ran down the stairs in a fluster and shouted into the kitchen, "Quick, quickly collect all the Phoenix-Tail Chicken, even the Barefoot Pig, and that Barefoot Duck …" Oh, right. Spirit Wine. "
Since Duanmu Qing had brought her here once, the entire world had changed. This master of the house came here every few days! Furthermore, it was a huge table. Sitting here and eating without stopping was no problem, from morning to night.
The scariest thing was that they did not dare to take any money from the restaurant, which was why the Fragrant Sky Tower had been losing so many times over the course of the month.
Of course, their Duanmu Family could afford such a loss. However, the worst thing was that this master loved to drink wine and would get drunk. When he got drunk, he would become a demon.
Imagine a bunch of old men crawling around on the floor, barking like dogs and crowing like chickens... That scene was too horrifying.
