() In last year’s food war, the second prince’s army was all killed on the battlefield, and the eldest prince’s army also suffered heavy losses. Of the three princes in the Totem Empire, only the third prince was left intact. The Lion King wanted the third prince to better take over the Totem Empire. , sending him to participate in the youth competition. As long as the third prince gets the top three, the Lion King can directly designate the third prince as the next Lion King despite the pressure, thus completely solving the struggle between his three sons.
But the reality was not as good as imagined. The accidental death of the third prince gave hope to the eldest prince and the second prince. The second prince got a magic sword after the battlefield, and his attack power was greatly improved. With this man's strength, he could The fight ended in a draw with the eldest prince who still had military power. The two of them fought almost every day. There was no moment that made the Lion King feel relieved. In this way, Gasollet's death was considered in vain due to the farce of his two brothers. No one Investigated.
A few days after Su Qingchen and others returned to Yuluo City, the emperor held a celebration party for the Iron-Blooded Team. The three competition prizes were distributed to Ye Xin, Liu Yun, and Yimeng according to Su Qingchen's wishes. In the end, the emperor also rewarded the Iron-Blooded Team. , but Su Qingchen has always participated in the entire celebration party as a supporting role, but is dispensable.
The biggest credit for winning this championship goes to Ye Xin, followed by Liu Yun, and then Haitian. No one mentioned Su Qingchen during the entire celebration, so much so that no one noticed that Su Qingchen left halfway. The Ye family also rose strongly after this celebration. , the forces that had been suppressed before appeared in an instant, and the speed was so fast that there was no reaction at all.
In a small restaurant in Yuluo City, Su Qingchen was drinking wine in a dull mood, while the woman in black was still by his side.
"Look at you, you worked so hard and finally ended up like this. Forget it, you didn't get the prize. You didn't even get a word of praise. I feel wronged for you." The woman in black pouted.
"Don't tell me this, I don't care about these things at all, because I never lack these things." Su Qingchen said casually, and then took a sip of wine from the can of wine. At this time, his mind was filled with the current situation of the Lan Yu Empire and the Ye family. At the same time as it rose strongly, several major forces in Yijia suffered heavy losses.
Uncle An was accidentally injured. He was seriously injured in a fight after he was separated from Su Qingchen. If Uncle An hadn't been so strong, his life would have been lost in Wushuang City. As for who he fought with and why, no one knew, because there was no one If I dare to ask, Uncle An won’t tell.
During their participation in the competition, the Lu family's army was also sent to the front line by the emperor. The God General Empire would now launch harassment wars at the border, forcing the Lu family's army to be stationed at the border for a long time. At this time, Yijia was still around. The only remaining forces are Stan Academy and Su Qingchen's forces, which are unable to compete with the Ye family who are making a strong comeback.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me, drinking alone is boring." The woman in black looked at Su Qingchen's sad face and asked with some confusion.
"You don't understand even after I told you. You know this is not a good thing for you." Su Qingchen said casually. He didn't want to pay attention to the woman in black at all. At this time, he kept guessing the next step of the Ye family. He must be prepared. , you can’t let the power you have worked so hard to build be defeated by others, the Ye family is definitely a troublesome opponent.
"Tch, isn't it a struggle between the two major forces in your empire? One is seizing power and the other is protecting it. I've known this for a long time." The woman in black glanced at Su Qingchen and said.
"You still ask after you know." Su Qingchen said casually.
"So, you are really worried about this matter. You are just a small person. In the eyes of these two big families, you are at most a promising young man, and nothing else at all. You should not really take yourself seriously, let alone You really think of yourself as the role of King Li Kuanglan. In fact, you are just a small person. Just like this competition, you are the main force and the hero. But in the eyes of the big family, when you compare with their real interests, what are you? None, it’s dispensable.” The woman in black said with a serious face.
"I don't need you to teach me a lesson, and things are not what you imagine. Some things seem simple, but are very complicated, and some things seem complicated, but are actually very simple. But everything is the same in the end, either failure or success. Avoiding it is doomed to failure, there is no chance, and I only want a result. I don't think too much, I just want this result, and I will give everything for it." Su Qingchen said extremely calmly.
"Is it worth your efforts?" the woman in black asked with a slight frown.
"It's not worth it. People can't be too selfish in life. They can't blindly ask for rewards without giving. I am very satisfied and happy with my current life. My efforts have been rewarded. I have what I want, and I have If you have the goal of life and the motivation of life, then all this is enough." Su Qingchen smiled slightly after saying this, and then took another sip of wine.
At this time, the woman in black looked at Su Qingchen, and kept thinking about Su Qingchen's words in her mind. She kept asking herself, does she have a goal in life, do she have friends in her life, and is what she gets really what she wants? There was confusion in the mind of the woman in black, and she was a little overwhelmed by Su Qingchen's words.
After several invitations from Su Qingchen, the woman in black also started drinking. If anyone who knew the woman in black saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. The woman in black would never touch anything that could affect his clear thinking. , because there are too many secrets in her head.
The two of them drank hard without talking, and just kept drinking at each other. After drinking more than a dozen jars of wine, both of them were a little tipsy. They staggered back to the dormitory, and then lay down and fell asleep. , before falling asleep, Su Qingchen raised the doubt that had been in his mind for a long time: "What is your name!"
"Xia Qingran." After the woman in black finished speaking, she fell asleep directly, and Su Qingchen also fell asleep at the same time. Neither of them used their soul power to relieve the hangover. Su Qingchen wanted to take advantage of the night before the storm to get drunk, and Black The woman in clothes just wanted to relax and not live in such a high-stress life. She didn't know why she felt that she felt at ease and trustworthy around Su Qingchen. This was the first time that he had spoken out about himself in front of others. real name.
At dawn the next day, two screams came from the boys' dormitory of Stan College. The first was a female scream, which was harsh, and the second was a male scream, which was ear-splitting. The two screams shook all the students. They all woke up from their sleep, all with sleepy eyes,
