Sixteen men in black court dresses stood solemn and silent, like sculptures that have survived thousands of years of wind erosion. Beside the mysterious black carriage like a night, the old man bowed slightly, with a peaceful look and impeccable etiquette.
The woman who came from the endless darkness came to Lintian, reached out and took up the little hand of the summer solstice, and her slightly blue eyes were like the sea, staring at the little girl's incomparably beautiful face. After a long time, a satisfied color appeared on her lips.
The summer solstice was motionless. She looked back at her little face and stared at the woman's face in front of her. In her dark crescent eyes, she was with undisguised vigilance.
As early as yesterday, she felt a trace of impatience in her heart. Until today, this trace of impatience became more and more intense. When she saw the woman in front of her, she finally understood that the original source of impatience was the woman in front of her, which had nothing to do with Lintian.
"You guessed I would come?" The woman was a little surprised.
The summer solstice pursed his mouth and said, "there's only a trace of feeling."
The woman seemed to be more and more satisfied, and her habitually indifferent eyes also took a gentle color and said, "from today on, you go with me."
Her voice was calm and indifferent, but there was no doubt and no defiance.
Lintian, who was next to him, thought it was an order. The meaning of it was very clear, and there was no room for discussion at all.
This made Lintian's anger ignite again and was about to burn his reason.
Just now Yao Tuohai wanted to leave the summer solstice, which made Lintian feel very angry. Now the mysterious woman suddenly appeared and took the summer solstice away from him. From beginning to end, it seemed that everyone ignored his existence!
"Why?"
Lintian's voice was hoarse and his body was trembling slightly. He was almost unable to control his anger. Similarly, when facing the mysterious woman, he felt a fear in his instinct. Under the impact of this anger and fear, Lintian was like a tight bow string at the moment, which could break at any time.
The woman frowned and moved her eyes to Lintian for the first time. The light blue pupil was cold.
In an instant, the terror and oppression came like a landslide and tsunami. Lintian trembled more and more and his face became paler and paler, but his beautiful eyebrows were full of hard colors and insisted on not falling down.
The summer solstice suddenly spoke first, "I'll go with you."
The woman took back her eyes. In an instant, Lintian was like struggling from the edge of death, and his face was very white.
"Very good young man, no wonder you used to follow him." Women are thoughtful.
"For me, he is irreplaceable, and you will be surpassed by me in the future." The summer solstice looked straight at the woman and said seriously.
A thought-provoking arc appeared on the corners of the woman's lips and said, "I will wait for that day to come."
The summer solstice said, "aren't you afraid that I'll kill you then?"
The woman looked more and more gentle. She seemed to have a special feeling about the summer solstice and said, "I can give you three chances to kill me."
The summer solstice pursed his lips and said firmly, "I don't need three times. I just need one chance."
The woman smiled.
This was the first time she smiled after she appeared here. At that moment, it seemed as if a magnificent flower bloomed in the endless darkness, making the world pale.
"Remember what you said."
After half a ring, the woman took the hand of the summer solstice and turned to the black carriage.
Summer solstice turned his head and looked at Lintian quietly. Suddenly he said, "Lintian, you can't die before I come back, okay?"
At that moment, Lintian's mind was blank, and the resentment, fear, unwillingness and confusion in his heart seemed to disappear, leaving only an unprecedented firmness.
"I will."
He murmured, his voice hoarse and low. He hung his head and stood motionless, allowing the summer solstice to be taken away by the woman. No one saw it, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
The 13-year-old boy from the mine prison told himself at this moment that this was the last time he shed tears in his life.
The woman took the summer solstice to the black carriage. Just at the moment of closing the door, the woman turned her head and looked at the lonely young man in the distance. She didn't know what she thought of and got out of the carriage again.
She came to Lintian, leaned forward slightly, stared at the young man's beautiful face and said, "I have tested your qualifications, which can only be regarded as ordinary. No matter how hard I try in this life, I will only go farther and farther with the little girl in the future. She doesn't belong to you."
Lintian was silent.
The woman lifted Lintian's chin with her long white fingers and said, "I can clearly feel that your heart is full of anger and hatred, but it doesn't help, but I can give you a chance. Remember, I'm from Obsidian temple. My name is Liu Lan and my name is Ji Nian. You can't see me until you're strong enough."
The voice was hoarse with a unique magnetism. Before the voice fell, the woman turned away and boarded the black carriage.
On the carriage, the summer solstice looked at it quietly, looking as quiet as usual, but the pair of crescent eyes were gradually becoming indifferent and cold.
When Lintian looked up, the black carriage was already far away.
"Liu Lan... Ji Nian... I remember!"
The boy murmured in his heart and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Immediately, he shook in front of him and completely lost consciousness.
……
"It's a poor child to accept the cruelty of fate at a young age."
After a slight sigh, Lintian's fallen body was held in his arms by an old man. The old man had just followed that strange team, but he didn't go with the team at the moment.
He held Lintian as easily as holding a mass of air, and still maintained an impeccable standing posture.
The old man was wearing a black court dress, with a straight waist and gentle eyebrows. He looked at the high platform and said, "how was the child's performance in the government examination?"
In a word, it broke the silence of the whole audience, and everyone in the square looked confused, because they didn't see what had just happened.
It's like having a dream and seeing only darkness. Now the dream finally woke up, but the strange team disappeared. There was only one old man and Lintian in the arms of the old man.
No one knows what just happened, but everyone's heart is filled with uncontrollable fear. What kind of terrible power should they have in order to cover and affect all their minds and perceptions unknowingly?
Yao Tuohai was pale and stood there stunned. He didn't know what had happened just now, but he knew that all this came from the handwriting of that big man!
"Tell the elder, he... He..."
At this time, in the face of the old man's questions, Yu Canglin on the high platform lost his previous dignity and became stammering, sweating and speechless.
Wu Chaoqun and others were on pins and needles, and their faces changed. Until now, they didn't understand the origin of that strange team, let alone the identity of the old man in the distance.
But just by virtue of the old man's breath, they feel cold and know the origin of each other.
Seeing this, the old man bowed slightly and said gently, "please give this child an open examination."
After that, he turned away with Lintian in his arms, but he didn't move. He disappeared in a moment, just like evaporation out of thin air.
At this point, everyone present could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if with the old man leaving, a touch of fear in their hearts disappeared.
But on the high platform, the faces of Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others became suspicious and ugly. What happened just now?
Where did that strange team come from?
Why did you save Lintian?
And the beautiful little girl, where have you been?
No one knows!
All they knew was that Yao Tuohai was trying to capture Lintian and the little girl, but no one could tell what happened next.
This is terrible!
As for the practitioners who participated in the assessment in the square, they were even more unbearable. They all looked confused and woke up like a dream.
"Continue the government test."
For a long time, Yao Tuohai came to the high platform like a walking corpse and sat down again, but his look had become a little numb.
The purpose of his coming here is to get in touch with the big man, but the result makes him feel palpitation and fear.
Yao Tuohai broke his head and couldn't imagine how such a thing could happen!
"Mr. Yao, this is Lin Xun's assessment result..." Yu Canglin hesitated and asked.
When Yao Tuo Haydn frowned, he remembered the identity of the old man and the big man behind the old man just now. There was another wave in his heart. After half a sound, he sighed and waved, "he is allowed to pass!"
what!
If Lintian and others didn't pass the test, they would be shocked. But if Lintian and others didn't pass the test, he would be shocked.
Yao Tuohai saw this, but he didn't bother to explain again. He kept thinking in his heart, is that big man here for the little girl?
"With your strength, you don't deserve to touch what you shouldn't have." In his mind, it seemed that the hoarse magnetic voice echoed again, which made Yao Tuohai tremble and tremble. Is this the means of the Queen's highness in the Obsidian temple?
It must have something to do with the little girl!
For a long time, Yao Tuohai dared to confirm this. When facing the little girl, even he could not restrain his inner desire for possession. It can be imagined that the power existing in the little girl is not simple.
And the big man, perhaps it is the little girl who has a crush on this, will fight back himself!
Yao Tuohai was thinking about something. Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others dared not disobey his wishes, and finally passed the examination of Lintian's government examination.
Before long, the government examination continued.
Just after the storms just now, everyone present became absent-minded, and the atmosphere seemed strange and dull.
