It was drizzling, the sky was overcast, and sometimes accompanied by rolling thunder, purple electric snakes swam across the sky.
In the small courtyard, Li Xiang looked up at the sky. He didn't know what he was thinking. Seven days had passed since the battle with Xerbo. After a week of training, his injuries were almost healed, except for the residual mental power.
The sequelae still made him feel a dull pain.
Physical injuries can be easily healed, but mental injuries can only be recovered slowly.
"My body has almost reached its limit. It depends on whether there will be any changes next. The only thing that can be improved at the moment is the power of mind. But after the last transformation, I have very little Yinke left, and my mental state is still not there now."
Recovery, so what we can do now is to rest, regain our energy as soon as possible, and stock up on items to store Yinke."
Li Xiang thought about it, and he discovered one thing. Since the Heavenly Book with Words was upgraded, he could only open blind boxes in the dark to find items with a sense of history, legends, myths and other types of items. But after the upgrade, there is an additional
item detection function.
If you encounter an item that is stored in Yinke, the Heavenly Book with Words will give a prompt. The more items are stored, the more obvious the prompt will be.
In this way, he saves a lot of effort. Not only can he find what he needs more accurately, he can also use his spare time to read books, understand the current news of the world, and increase his experience.
Da da da.
Just when he was thinking about how to go further and become stronger, a crisp and rapid sound of footsteps came, and he saw the slim girl Li Ying who had already emerged, dressed in a smart outfit, holding an oil umbrella, and was about to
Head outside.
Seeing this, he frowned and shouted: "Ying'er, where are you going on a rainy day?"
This girl is secretive all day long. She runs out when she has something to do. She doesn't go to school very much these days. This kind of behavior makes him frown very much. Girls should study hard and be a lady, and
It's not about showing up and going out all day.
"It's okay, I'll be back in a moment."
After leaving a few words, Li Ying hurriedly ran outside without looking back.
"This girl..."
He shook his head helplessly. Li Xiang was about to step back and sit quietly for a while, but Zhong Can walked over quietly and said: "Master Li, Miss Ying'er seems to be practicing martial arts recently, with an older man.
It’s very close. My brothers have followed it several times and lost it. Do we want to intervene?”
He knew that Mr. Li was just such a sister. He held it in his hands for fear of dropping it, and held it in his mouth for fear of it melting. She cared for her so much.
If something happens to Miss Ying'er, I'm afraid the man in front of me, who seems to be not interested in anything, will be furious to an unimaginable level.
"Let's make some contact first and warn him to stay away from Yinger. I don't want anything beyond the plan to happen."
Li Xiang's expression was dull. For him, having everything under control was the best choice. Even if he wanted to retire and find a remote place to spend his life, he wanted that place to be under his absolute control.
Moreover, even then, he must ensure that intelligence, information, etc. cannot be derailed or left behind.
Only by living in peace and thinking about danger can you live a long life.
Security without power is just false and can be broken at the touch of a touch. Once any test comes or danger appears, he will not even have the ability to protect himself.
"I understand." Zhong Can nodded slightly, turned around and walked out.
Before that, he had actually sent someone to warn the man secretly, but the results were not satisfactory. The other man's martial arts was probably not low, so he had no choice but to find an opportunity and go there himself.
…
Bang!
With a dull impact, the door was broken open, and a dozen figures hidden in black robes filed in.
"Who are you?" Song Yufu frowned slightly, not panicking. Living in troubled times, she also encountered many crisis situations, but she resolved them all easily.
And, for some reason, she actually felt a strange sense of intimacy from these people, as if... she was meeting people of the same bloodline who had been separated for many years.
No, her feeling is deeper than that blood connection.
"See Your Highness the Holy Lady, we are guided by the Lord God and are here to take you back to the Holy Religion."
The leader, an old man in black robe, knelt on one knee with a respectful look on his face. Although he was many times more powerful than the woman in front of him, the saint was the divine servant chosen by the Lord of God. Even without training, her strength was comparable to that of the Japanese drama.
, and finally reached unimaginable heights.
Although his power in the church is not low, in front of the saint, his status is not worth mentioning at all.
"It turns out it's you."
Song Yufu suddenly realized that during this period, she had vaguely received guidance from the God of Whiteness, saying that a group of followers of the God would find her and bring her to the head teacher for training.
She didn't believe it at first. After all, she could quickly improve her physical fitness just by worshiping the statues. She had been living a good life, but suddenly a group of unknown people appeared and said they were going to kill her.
Take her away and go to some religion to inherit the position of the saint.
If you were an ambitious person, you would probably dream of such an opportunity.
But she likes peace and hates fighting with others. Naturally, she does not yearn for that kind of life.
However, according to the oracle, the world is about to be swept by a catastrophe. If she does not have enough strength and power, even if she is the messenger of the White God, she will not be able to survive the disaster.
In order to protect herself and those around her, after some psychological struggle, she decided to leave with these people.
"Let's go." Her tone was calm, and her mind flashed through everything in Beibo City, including her father, friends, best friends, students at the academy, and...that man.
In her mind, a face appeared that was calm and calm at all times. After leaving this time, they might not be able to see each other for a long time.
Although the other party's current knowledge no longer requires her to ask questions, and with her knowledge, she has nothing to give to the other party, but she is in a city, and after all, she has some thoughts. If she wants to, she can definitely come to her.
It's just that this time is different. This time, she can't go back if she wants to.
"Yes." The old man in black robe put his right hand on his chest to show respect. The saint's cheerfulness surprised him a little.
But this is the best thing. If the saint doesn't agree, they can't force her. In that case, it will take more time and effort to bring her back to the head teacher.
"By the way, what's the name of our sect?"
Before leaving, Song Yufu suddenly asked.
"The Pure World Cult."
…
Wow.
The clear tea was poured into a dark red solid wooden cup. Shangguan Silong, wearing a simple white robe, poured a cup for the other person and then filled his own cup.
"This tea is the Thousand-leaf Heart Flower Tea unique to the Snowy Mountains. It smells faintly of flowers. It tastes refreshing and clear to the heart. It is one of the special offerings of the imperial court. You will know after you try it."
With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to signal the person opposite him to taste it first.
"This tastes really good."
After taking a slight sip, Li Xiang's eyes lit up and he was filled with admiration. Since the last time he participated in the operation with the government, he had been on the line with the Lord of the City. Every once in a while, he would sit down to drink tea, eat snacks, and talk.
Wisdom, knowledge of martial arts.
The person in front of him was a true comet-level powerhouse and the lord of a city designated by the imperial court. He had his own unique understanding of super-first-class knowledge and various knowledge. He could always gain something from talking to him.
Following this, the Qingzhu Gang became closer and closer to the government, often cooperating to catch petty thieves or monitor suspicious persons.
"Li Xiang, your talent and way of doing things are indeed the best I have ever seen in my life. Even compared with those talented people in Dadu, you are not weak at all. So I suggest you join the imperial court so that you can have better resources and contacts.
Higher level things.”
Faced with the junior whom he was extremely optimistic about, Shangguan Silong was sincere in his words. This guy was good at everything, but he was from a poor background and had no background, and he was still hanging out in a small gang like the Qingzhu Gang.
Even if the other party is the gang leader, as the saying goes, it is better to be a phoenix tail than a chicken head.
Whichever level you hang out in, you will become a person at that level. If you want to climb higher, the best way is to get out of the current circle.
Beibo City is still too small, just a small city among many provinces in Daqian.
"Li accepts the kindness of the city lord, but I am used to being free and loose. I can't stand being controlled by others, and I can't adapt to the atmosphere of the officialdom. Therefore, I am content to be a small gang leader."
Li Xiang shook his head slightly. The general trend of the world today is chaos. Every time there is chaos and troubled times, heroes will inevitably emerge in large numbers. Who will have the last laugh is still unknown. Even the seemingly powerful Daqian court may not be able to do so.
Go to the end.
It is not a wise move to rashly take sides now. Who knows if he will be framed by a treacherous official and land in jail after becoming an official in the court?
Furthermore, after becoming a member of the imperial court, if there is an order from above, why not just let him go wherever he goes?
That would be too passive, and he is not the kind of person who is scheming, can pretend to be sick, and listens to the instructions rather than the propaganda, so the best result is not to get involved.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. However, there is a Sixiang Courtyard in Dadu, and you must go there. There are many talented people there, who are either rich or noble. The students in the courtyard are all
They are super first-class seeds. In addition to those people with profound backgrounds, those who can almost graduate from them are also comet-level at the end.
Even if you don't become very powerful after you go there, you may accumulate some connections from it, which will be enough for you to last a lifetime."
Thinking of the courtyard that had existed almost since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the smile on Shangguan Silong's lips grew stronger, as if he was recalling the time he spent studying with his classmates.
