Chapter 156: No Women, No Joy
Early in the morning.
In front of Hu Qian's study, the open space in front of the door was already filled with many people, gathering in groups of three or four and whispering to each other. Not only were there students who passed the selection competition, but there were also many students who came to watch and see off standing around the open space. The atmosphere seemed a bit noisy.
Suddenly, the lively atmosphere gradually became quieter. Feeling the change in the atmosphere around them, some students looked up in surprise, only to see a man and two women appear in the open space in the middle. The area within three meters around them was like a restricted area, and no one dared to approach.
"Xun'er, Xian'er, am I that scary?" Looking at the small open space around him and the awe-inspiring gazes that fell on him, Xiao Bai was speechless. It seemed that he had never done anything to bully men and women in Jia Nan Academy, right?
"Hehe." Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and giggled: "Brother Xiao Bai, don't you know? Now you are very famous in this outer courtyard. I don't know what those rumors are about. They say that you are powerful, ruthless, and..."
"And what?" Seeing Xiao Xun'er blushing, Xiao Bai was really curious.
"And he is popular with women!" Xiao Yixian's eyes were shy, and a faint blush rose on her pretty face, like the morning glow in the sky, so moving!
"Nonsense! Which bastard spread rumors about me?" Xiao Bai was furious. He was popular with women, he wanted to, but a spear has been sealed and has not been used. How can he be popular with women? Isn't this just poking at people's hearts?
"Okay! They should see that you live with Instructor Ruolin, and there are beautiful women coming and going. It's not surprising to have such rumors!" Xiao Yixian gently pulled his hand and said softly.
"Is that so?" Xiao Bai nodded in understanding. It seems that no matter in the past life or now, this kind of gossip is indispensable in the student days!
"Huh? Xian'er, you are praising yourself!" Then, Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Yixian teasingly and said jokingly.
"Isn't Xian'er beautiful?" Xiao Yixian's eyes were dim, and her voice seemed full of resentment.
"Beautiful, of course she is beautiful!" Xiao Bai nodded in affirmation. Although he knew that she was pretending, he still felt a little distressed when he saw this weak and sad expression: "My Xian'er, as bright as spring flowers, as beautiful as jade flowers, as bright as autumn moon, and beautiful, how can a flower and jade be described!"
After hearing this, the resentment on Xiao Yixian's pretty face disappeared in an instant, and she became bright, with autumn water-like eyes and an intoxicating smile.
Just when Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, a burning gaze shot over, and his heart suddenly jumped.
"Of course, there is also my Xun'er, who is gorgeous and beautiful, hard to be matched by other beauties, and is the most beautiful among all the beauties!"
Xiao Xun'er's expression instantly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her rosy lips. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent moon, and she glanced at him gently, as if to say, this is more like it!
Xiao Bai wiped the cold sweat from his head, and secretly felt lucky in his heart. It was a close call. If my brain had crashed just now and I was at a loss for words in an instant, I would have been overturned. Fortunately, there were only two. If there was another one, I would have almost failed. In fact, I can think of these words, which is already a blessing from the gods and Buddhas!
The male students who had been secretly observing here looked at Xiao Bai, as if they were looking at a god, and instantly had the urge to become his apprentice. Thinking of seeing female classmates on weekdays, they would say you are really beautiful in front of them, and you are white-skinned, beautiful and long-legged behind their backs.
Vulgar. It's really too vulgar!
I had to write it down quickly, savoring it while writing it down, shaking my head from time to time, feeling deeply moved. Look at how well he complimented, no wonder two beautiful girls were surrounding him!
At this moment, the tightly closed study room opened, and Hu Qian walked out slowly with several old men. The open space in front of the door suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound at all.
Hu Qian's eyes swept over the fifty students in the open space. Seeing that no one was absent, he nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Dear students, today is the day you enter the inner courtyard. Here, I, on behalf of the outer courtyard, congratulate you. Your long-term efforts have finally paid off!"
"After entering the inner courtyard, you may not adapt to the practice methods there, but I am sure that there, you can stimulate your potential to the greatest extent. This is not me bragging. Some of you have had contact with students in the inner courtyard. I believe you should know how huge the gap is between coming out of there and before entering!"
After listening to the vice-president's words, some students nodded in agreement, while more people were full of expectations and excitement. They worked hard to strive for a stronger power, right? No matter how uncomfortable they were, they would persist.
"Before entering the inner courtyard, I will send you to a place!" Hu Qian smiled mysteriously, looking at the dozen black shadows flying down from the blue sky, waved his hand and said in a clear voice: "Let's get the griffins!"
"We still need griffins, is this inner courtyard very far away?" Someone among the students murmured in confusion.
Only a few people looked a little solemn, they knew that the next step should be the "welcome" ceremony of the inner courtyard!
"Okay, five people in a group, remember to sit on the chairs. If you don't have the cultivation of a Da Dou Shi, don't try to stand on the griffin beast!" Hu Qian saw someone trying to stand under the griffin beast, and indeed slipped down because of his unstable footing. After laughing, he turned to Xiao Bai and others and said, "The top five, you are in the same group, go up!"
"Let's go!" Xiao Bai called out to the two girls, stepped lightly, and disappeared like a flash of lightning, and then appeared on the griffin beast, standing steadily, motionless. Xiao Yixian and Xiao Xun'er looked at each other, and hurriedly followed, and their delicate bodies landed lightly beside Xiao Bai.
This scene made the students who had tried before jealous, because only they knew how difficult it was to stand on this damn feather!
After taking everyone up, the griffin beast shook its wings, and with the shadow on the ground getting smaller and smaller, it slowly took off into the air.
"Xiao Bai, Xun'er, Xian'er, come on! Remember to come back and visit when you have time!" When the griffin took off, a gentle voice suddenly came from below. Xiao Bai and the other two looked down and saw that it was Instructor Ruolin, followed by Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei. Seeing the three people's eyes fall, they smiled and waved.
"Brother Xiao Bai, what did you give Instructor Ruolin yesterday?" Xiao Xun'er asked while waving her little hand in response.
"Just some elixirs to help with cultivation. Xiao Yu and the others also got some!" Xiao Bai looked at the increasingly smaller figures below and said softly.
"No wonder no one was seen yesterday. It turns out that he went to refine elixirs!" Xiao Xun'er nodded in realization.
"Well! You guys want to practice, so I went to the Alchemy Department for a walk and made some for them. The ones given to Instructor Ruolin and Xiao Yu are pills to help with practice. Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei also got some, one Qi Gathering Powder each! Instructor Ruolin has always been nice to us, so we have to show some appreciation for her departure this time. As for Xiao Yu and the others, they all came from the Xiao family after all, so we should help them if we can!"
Xiao Xun'er looked at the person next to her, a touch of tenderness appeared in her eyes. She hugged his arm and said sweetly, "Brother Xiao Bai is really thoughtful. Why didn't Xun'er think of that!"
"Don't come here, girl. You seemed to have given something to Instructor Ruolin this morning, right?" Xiao Bai smiled and looked at the pretty girl beside him, gently pinching her pretty face.
"Hehe. Instructor Ruolin refused. She said that you had given them very valuable things yesterday. If you accept it again, she, as a teacher, will be ashamed to face people!" Xiao Xun'er rubbed Xiao Bai's palm with her little face and smiled cutely.
"That. Xiao Bai... Student Xiao Bai, excuse me, I want to ask if you really want to establish a power in the inner courtyard?" At this moment, a female voice with a slightly timid tone sounded behind him.
Turning around, he saw the woman who entered the library with him that day standing behind him. She seemed to have mustered up the courage to come forward and talk to him. Xiao Bai didn't have much impression of this woman. He only remembered that her name was Xu Su. At this time, he looked at her carefully for a moment. She was wearing a yellow skirt and had a slim figure. She didn't look like a cultivator, but more like a lady from a noble family who never left the house.
"I have this idea!" Xiao Bai nodded in the woman's slightly expectant eyes.
"Great! Can I join?" The woman's face was delighted. Seeing Xiao Bai's slightly frowning expression, she hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, I'm very useful. I know a little about many things in the inner courtyard. If you want to build a power, you need to know everything, don't you?"
"You just entered the inner courtyard this year?" Xiao Bai's eyes were full of doubt. Not to mention that she had never been to the inner courtyard, even if she had not been a student of the inner courtyard who had specifically learned about it after entering, it would be unlikely for her to dare to say that she knew many things about the inner courtyard.
"Her brother was the second on the strong list last year!" Before the woman could speak, a dull voice sounded from behind her.
"Second on the strong list? Last year?" Xiao Bai glanced at Tu Shan who had just spoken in surprise, and looked at the woman in the yellow skirt in front of him.
"Strong list, is one of the inner courtyard." Seeing Xiao Bai's doubts, the woman thought that he didn't know about the inner courtyard, and was about to explain.
"You don't need to explain to me. I know the rankings, but what about the second place last year?" Xiao Bai waved his hand to interrupt the woman's explanation and asked.
"Uh" the woman smiled awkwardly, her face slightly embarrassed, and whispered: "He graduated last year and wanted to stay in the academy, but until graduation, he couldn't beat the first place, and the first place was a little girl. Some of them couldn't stand the blow and went home!"
Xiao Bai nodded, feeling emotional. He didn't expect that two years earlier, this little dragon Zi Yan was still so arrogant and dominated the rankings!
"Then your brother should have built a force! Why not go there?"
Xiao Bai also learned some information from some elders. He knew that those people in the top ten of the rankings were golden signs in the inner courtyard. More or less, there would be people who would join them, and they spent a lot of time in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. They needed some people to help them deal with some other things, so most of them would set up a force to assist themselves. After all, as long as they were listed, others would take care of it. Why not?
"Uh" the woman's face was a little hesitant, not knowing what to say.
"Hey! Let me tell you! It is said that the last time Senior Xu Qingshan, that is, her brother, challenged the number one on the Strong List, the number one was a little impatient. After beating him up, she said that he was..."
"What did she say? Just tell me! Why are you hesitating?" Xiao Bai frowned. What could the little dragon Zi Yan say? She looked like she couldn't say it.
"She said that he was destined to be the second one. Don't bother her in the future. She also said that the Qingshan Gang should just be renamed the Second Gang!" Tu Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Because of this, Senior Xu Qingshan couldn't stand the strange looks from others after that, so he graduated in anger and the gang disbanded!"
".!" Xiao Bai thought it was a big deal. Hesitating, the little dragon Zi Yan was simple-minded. She said the second one was the second position, and others misinterpreted it, and then the gang disbanded and left.
"You came to me, you won't let me go to trouble the number one, right?" Xiao Bai looked at the woman in front of him and asked with a thoughtful look.
Hearing this, the girl Xu Su hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "No! No! My brother said that the little girl was simple-minded. He lost purely because of his lack of strength. He was convinced, but he didn't want to see those villains who couldn't beat him, but kept gossiping behind his back all day long. He said that seeing them made him sick, so he left directly. I don't have any hatred for the number one on the strong list. I just want to see who can convince my proud brother since childhood and join you. I just don't want to be bullied in the inner courtyard!"
"Okay! If I had that idea, you would be the first elder to join!" Xiao Bai saw that the girl didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded and agreed.
"That. Classmate Xiao Bai, do you think I can do it?" A rough voice sounded.
"I haven't asked you about your relationship yet?" Xiao Bai looked at the two of them. If Xu Su knew him because she had a brother, what about Tu Shan?
"We don't have any relationship!" Xu Su saw that Xiao Bai looked at the two of them like a couple, and hurriedly waved her hand to deny it.
"It really has nothing to do with it. I know all this because I went to the Black Horn Region for training last year. It happened to be Senior Xu Qingshan who led the team. Xu Su and I happened to be in the same team, so I learned some things!" Tu Shan also hurriedly denied it, and glanced back cautiously, as if he was afraid that someone would know.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Xiao Bai immediately understood that the two had just a little intersection. Tu Shan should have a lover, and it seemed that they were behind the team, one of the students who entered the inner courtyard this time.
"I can promise you, but I have to investigate first. As for the investigation, it will be in this 'welcome' ceremony of the inner courtyard. Let's see how you perform!" Xiao Bai glanced at the two. Both of them knew some of the situations in the inner courtyard. They knew that it would be difficult to survive in the inner courtyard without a strong backer.
"Thank you, classmate Xiao Bai!" The two were surprised. This is a sure thing!
In the midst of a chat, a spacious mountain stream appeared in front of everyone.
