Outskirts of Shadow Valley

The students and instructors of Xuanling Academy are gathered here, waiting for the start of this training outside the academy...

The bonfire was rising in the camp, dispersing the darkness in the area. Some students and instructors who had not yet rested were sitting on the haystacks nearby, drinking water or barbecue, or discussing the future of the hospital for the next month.

practice…

And some adventurers or desperadoes lurking in the darkness could only watch from a distance after seeing this, and then left silently, not daring to approach at all.

Because they know that these people are from Xuanlingyuan and are existences they cannot afford to offend. Moreover, there are instructors from Xuanlingyuan in these camps. If they are discovered, they will most likely be killed as dangerous elements!

Some hungry monsters that forage for food at night will come to tentatively look for food, but these monsters often end up being killed by the instructors of the Xuanling Academy, and become a midnight snack for some students...

They don't want their lives to end here...

But this does not mean that they have no solution at all, because they are afraid of the instructors of Xuanling Academy, not the students!

In the eyes of those desperadoes, these precious students who have never seen the world and experienced the cruel side of the world are no more than a group of brats. When faced with those ferocious monsters, they will probably tremble with fear and even be unable to fight.

forget…

So as long as the students leave this camp, they will have the opportunity to take action. After killing them, they can directly blame them on the monsters here. Anyway, there is no proof of the death. People from all sides are involved, so it is difficult to find out who did it!

However, under normal circumstances, these desperadoes will not take the initiative. If they can avoid it, they will avoid it, and if they can, they will not provoke it, so as not to cause disaster. But if there is a treasure, then they don't care so much.

…

At this time, Ke Lixuan was lying quietly on the tree trunk alone, looking at the twinkling starry sky in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about...

At this moment, a wisp of fragrance reached the tip of Ke Lixuan's nose, causing him to turn his head and look at the source. The person emitting this fragrance was Ling Shuang, a member of his team.

Seeing her arrival, Ke Lixuan also had a look of doubt in his eyes. He asked, "Why are you here..."

Ling Shuang slowly sat down next to him and said calmly: "Nothing, I just came to see what you are doing."

At this time, Ke Lixuan also sat up, but still kept a certain distance from her. He said: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."

"Is it about the Ke family..." Ling Shuang asked tentatively.

After wandering for twelve years, I returned home and reunited with my parents. However, this home only brought me pain and ridicule, and I could not feel the slightest warmth. Moreover, within a year, I was expelled. This feeling is not something that everyone feels.

Can bear it!

It is really rare for him to maintain such an optimistic and open-minded attitude. If it were him, he would probably become even more withdrawn and indifferent than he is now...

Ke Lixuan shook his head, and then said: "No, I was thinking about other things."

"Oh? Is it about practicing tomorrow..."

Ling Shuang was puzzled. Apart from the Ke family's affairs, it was rare for him to be so concerned about something...

"No, I'm just thinking about someone I can't remember anyway..." Ke Lixuan murmured.

Hearing this sentence, Ling Shuang also had a look of doubt and anxiety in his eyes. There was a person who could not be remembered no matter what. Who could that person be? Male or female!

"Is that person important to you?" Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"I don't know, I guess..."

Ke Lixuan responded that he had lost a large part of his memory before the age of twelve, and the only memory fragment he had was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, so he could not judge whether that person was important to him based on this fragment.

Still not important…

However, from this memory fragment, I saw that when I was a child, I had made an agreement with this person. He should probably be a very important person, although I had often made agreements with other people before...

As he spoke, Ke Lixuan took a breath and recalled the time in this memory in his mind. At that time, he seemed to be only about ten years old and knew almost nothing, while that person seemed to be already very old.

, I have the impression that I am at least 0 years older than myself...

At that time, Ke Lixuan was still very young, naive and arrogant. From time to time, he would point his finger at the most dazzling star in the night sky and show off to others: "See! That most shining star is my star.

It will guide my progress and illuminate the road ahead for me!”

"As long as that star is still there, it means that I will one day become the strongest person in the world!"

"I believe in you, and I will work hard with you to become the strongest person in the world!" The man echoed with a smile.

Hearing this, Ke Lixuan also showed a happy smile on his lips, and agreed: "Then we have made an appointment. With the moon as witness, we will become the strongest person in this world together. No one can break his promise!"

As he spoke, Ke Lixuan also sincerely extended his palm to the person, making an oath-like appearance, as if he took the joke as truth...

And that person also stretched out his palm without hesitation, hooked up his two little fingers, making a hook gesture, and then said softly: "Well! It's an agreement! No one can break their promise!"

"But there is an additional condition, and the leading party must protect the lagging party until they reach the top together!"

"No problem!" Ke Lixuan assured, patting his chest.

At this time, the thumbs of the two people collided together, which represented the establishment of the agreement.

The silver moonlight fell on the two of them, as if they heard their agreement and sent blessings and witnesses to their agreement!

Time returned to the present. Ke Lixuan looked at the full moon hanging in the night sky, with a melancholy look in his eyes. He thought silently in his heart: "Become the strongest person in the world..."

"What an arrogant and arrogant statement..."

I really don’t know why I said such words and made such an agreement at that time. I was really asking for trouble...

"Hey! What are you underestimating? And can your answer be considered an answer..." Ling Shuang asked.

"It should be considered..."

Ke Lixuan laughed dryly. Based on the fragment of memory, he couldn't determine the identity of that person. Maybe he was just an ordinary playmate. Maybe it was a joke between himself and Uncle Lu when he was a child?

After all, this clip only provides a back view of myself, not the face of that person, so it’s possible for anyone~

"But what makes me more curious is, why did you choose to team up with me and Sister Ke Xia? Don't you feel embarrassed?" Ke Lixuan changed the subject.

"I don't think so." Ling Shuang responded.

Ke Xia is now a master of the Qi Gathering Realm, and Ke Lixuan has also reached the peak of the Spirit Core Realm. At this rate, I believe it won't be long before he can break through to the Qi Gathering Realm.

When the time comes for the two Qi Gathering Realms, even if those people in the West Courtyard come to trouble me, they still have to weigh whether they are worth it or not!

Besides, both of them came from a big family like the Ke family. Although Ke Lixuan was expelled, Ke Xia was not! Since they are from a big family and their status seems to be not low, they must send one or two

Let a strong man protect the law secretly!

If you team up with them, even if you encounter desperadoes who are stronger than them, you don't have to worry at all, because these guardians will help them solve it!

And the most important thing is that you know who they are, and teaming up with them is obviously much more reliable and safer than teaming up with unfamiliar people!

Hearing this, Ke Lixuan laughed dryly and said, "That's a pretty straightforward answer..."

"By the way, I see you are worried lately. Is there something on your mind?"

Xu told herself that there was something on her mind, but she just didn’t know what it was? This time she took this opportunity to ask.

Hearing these words, Ling Shuang's face sank slightly, then returned to its original state, shook her head and said: "It's nothing to worry about, you are just too sensitive..."

"Maybe..."

Seeing this, Ke Lixuan also smiled easily. Since she didn't want to say it, she wouldn't force it. I hope she can handle it on her own...

"Let's go! Tomorrow we will enter the Shadow Valley to practice. We can't do it without enough energy~"

As he spoke, Ke Lixuan landed on the ground and walked towards the camp.

Ling Shuang sighed softly, looking at the stars in the night sky, wondering what she was feeling...
