After Zhou Tian heard this, he looked at his master and his face seemed to be a bit wrong.
"Protect the Imperial City? What do you mean?"
In the past, the word "guarding" was always spoken, managed and done by the master. Why should he be guarded this time? Zhou Tian turned his head and looked at the other senior brothers who had arrived.
The Master sighed and said nothing more: "Just do it. In addition, your Thunder Thought needs to be practiced by many people. If the effect is good, it is very likely to help you break through the Qi King Realm. At that time, you can return to Beimo Tianqi.
Zhen, you are invincible."
Master said this, making Zhou Tian extremely happy and he quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much for your love, Master. Thirteen will definitely live up to Master's high expectations!"
Then the master left Lanxi Shuixie, and the other senior brothers, including Song Nuannuan, were very shocked. They never expected that Zhou Tian would receive such attention from the master, and they were even more proud of him.
"Well done Thirteen. Except for the first senior brother and the second senior brother, no one else in the academy has ever received such great praise from the master. Besides, it is a great honor to protect the imperial city. Please pack up and go out!"
Song Nuannuan spoke to Zhou Tian enthusiastically, but Su Xinghe was a little depressed at this moment. Logically speaking, he was very happy about such a good thing, and besides being his good friend, he looked gloomy at this moment.
"Su Xinghe, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Tian looked into his eyes curiously.
"Ah, it's nothing. Go and clean it up quickly. I guess Master asked you to guard the imperial city because he had other plans and it's hard to tell him clearly in front of the senior brothers."
Su Xinghe just scrawled a few words, and then entered the Lanxi Water Pavilion. Zhou Tian shrugged inexplicably. He didn't know what was wrong with Su Xinghe. Now Zhou Tian was only thinking about his own cultivation method and couldn't care about it at all.
Others, so I quickly quickened my pace and went to the Wuming Waterside Pavilion.
The master quickly returned to the nameless waterside pavilion and sat on a stool, looking in a daze, as if something had been making him uneasy.
"Master!"
Zhou Tian walked in without saying hello, which shocked the master: "Huh? Why are you here?"
Zhou Tian took a look and realized that he was a little rude, so he quickly lowered his head and said: "Master, I'm sorry, I came in without prior notification..."
The Master smiled, waved his hand and said, "Ah, it doesn't matter, if you don't come to me, I will come to you!"
"This time I ask you to protect the imperial city, not for anything else, but for the emperor's request." The master's voice was much deeper as he spoke. Zhou Tian saw this and felt that it was different from usual.
"The emperor's request? Why does the emperor ask me to protect the imperial city? This..."
Before Zhou Tian finished speaking, Master continued: "What worries me is not this matter, but what's behind it!"
"The emperor told me that Haotian Pavilion has infiltrated Dongchu, and even made some moves in the imperial city. He asked me to send some academy disciples to protect the imperial city. It would be best to recruit people from Haotian Pavilion, but...
"
The master was halfway through speaking, but hesitated. When Zhou Tian heard that the people from Haotian Pavilion were already in the imperial city of Dongchu, he hurriedly asked: "Is what the master said serious? The people from Haotian Pavilion are really here. I
I was about to look for them, but I didn’t expect them to be delivered to me by themselves!”
Master originally didn't want Zhou Tian to go, but the other academy disciples had other things to do. Now the competition between sects was about to begin. If all the remaining disciples of the academy were dispersed, there would be no time to prepare for the competition. The academy
Although we never pay attention to these competitions for fame and wealth, at the very least, the academy represents the imperial city and the royal family, and must not make any mistakes.
So I had to ask Zhou Tianqian to go to the imperial city to do some normal patrols and guards.
Master looked at Zhou Tian's excitement and shook his head inadvertently: "You pack up and set off. You are just doing some patrols in the imperial city. Don't be impulsive when you encounter anything. You must put the overall situation first.
, your other senior brothers have to prepare for the competition in two days, so they can only ask Su Xinghe to accompany you. Remember! If you really meet someone from Haotian Pavilion, don't use your mind energy without authorization.
Don’t be tempted to fight if you have no choice!”
"The soul-eating energy in your body must not be discovered by the people of Haotian Pavilion!"
Master's numerous warnings and instructions made Zhou Tian a little impatient, so he simply agreed: "Yes, Master! Don't worry!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
He hurriedly ran to Lanxi Waterside Pavilion again and saw that Su Xinghe still hadn't left. Looking at him sitting on the stone steps, he quickly asked: "Su Xinghe, you haven't left yet!"
But Su Xinghe sat there indifferently, his eyes full of depression.
Zhou Tian came to his side and took a closer look: "Hey! I see you are the happiest on weekdays, but why are you so depressed now? Did something happen to you? You might as well tell me, I just saw that something was wrong with you, but you didn't
Just asking you."
"Thirteen, Master, do you want me to go out with you?"
Su Xinghe suddenly opened his mouth, which surprised Zhou Tian: "How do you know? It seems that in this academy, you are the only one who understands the Master best. Indeed, the Master just asked me and you to patrol and guard the Imperial City.
They said they shouldn’t act rashly when meeting people from Haotian Pavilion, so why don’t you pack up and let’s set off?”
After hearing this, Su Xinghe didn't feel excited at all, but became much depressed.
"If other senior brothers had nothing to do, one of them should be the one to go. I don't want to patrol some imperial city."
Zhou Tian heard Su Xinghe's complaining look and asked with some confusion: "What happened to the Imperial City? Why are you so unhappy when the Imperial City is mentioned."
Su Xinghe, who has always loved cooking, was more depressed than anyone else at this moment. He was completely different from ordinary people, which really puzzled Zhou Tian.
"It's not because of my eldest brother!"
Zhou Tian listened to him and sat next to him.
"Your eldest brother? Why have I never heard you mention it? Do you still have an eldest brother?"
Su Xinghe smiled: "The Su family in the Imperial City are relatives of the royal family. If Master didn't tell me, you wouldn't know this."
Zhou Tian was stunned: "What? Su family, you mean you are a member of the royal family? Are you kidding me? If you are a member of the royal family, why are you so worried about patrolling the imperial city?"
Zhou Tian thought he was kidding himself again.
"My brother's name is Su Mohan. Although our Su family's surname is Su, we are the guards of the royal family. Our ancestors have been for generations, so we have become relatives of the royal family. The emperors of all generations treat our Su family as if they were their own royal family."
After Su Xinghe said his brother's name, Zhou Tian was shocked. He never expected that Su Mohan would be his brother and said with a smile: "So you are his brother, no wonder."
Su Xinghe originally thought Zhou Tian would be shocked, but he didn't expect him to react like this: "What? Do you know my elder brother?"
Zhou Tian nodded and told him what happened between him and Su Mohan. Only then did Su Xinghe realize that his eldest brother was actually doing this kind of business.
"How is it possible? How could my eldest brother become a mercenary! How could you Xuantian Sect people find him as an assassin!"
Su Xinghe couldn't believe what Zhou Tian said was true. Ever since he left the Su Mansion, Su Xinghe had never seen his eldest brother. He always thought that Su Mohan had been serving as a guard in the palace, but he never
think…..
The more he thought about it, the angrier he stood up. His whole face was distorted with anger, and it was nothing like the look he saw when he first entered the academy.
"Su Xinghe? You?"
Zhou Tian wanted to persuade him, but he looked like he couldn't listen to anything.
"Su Xinghe, your brother is a gentleman. He has never killed innocent people indiscriminately. If anyone hires him to kill someone or do something, he will understand it in advance. Don't worry!"
Zhou Tian tried to speak better to his elder brother in an attempt to calm him down, but the more Zhou Tian spoke, the angrier Su Xinghe became.
He roared sternly: "Thirteen, stop talking! How could our Su family do such a thing? Just now, Master asked you and me to go on patrol. What I'm worried about is that I'm afraid that my eldest brother will see him. He once said, let me live happily."
I learn skills in the academy, if he knows that my cultivation level is so low, he will definitely be sad."
"But who would have thought that you would say that he did that kind of business!"
After that, he jumped up without looking back and disappeared.
Zhou Tian wanted to chase after him, but then he thought about it, he must really want to be alone at this moment.
After returning to the room, Zhou Tian packed his luggage and prepared to go down the mountain to the imperial city alone, but was seen by his seventh senior brother Wang Ranran.
"Thirteen is leaving now?"
When Zhou Tian saw it was him, he quickly saluted and said, "Yes, Master's request cannot be delayed. I will go down the mountain to wait for Su Xinghe. This mission will be completed by both of us."
Wang Ranran was not worried about Su Xinghe, but worried about Zhou Tian.
"Thirteen, although you learned the energy of thought in the Lanxi Water Pavilion and can control thunder and lightning, just like Master, you must remember that you must not fight with the people in Haotian Pavilion. I think Master has told you
Yes, the soul-eating energy in your body must not be known to the people in Haotian Pavilion."
Zhou Tian was about to explode because of Master's ink, but now Seventh Senior Brother was saying the same thing again, which made him respond with some disgust: "Seventh Senior Brother, why are you saying this? Master has been saying it for a long time, I will naturally remember it.
, no need to say one thing over and over again.”
Wang Ranran saw something was wrong with his mood, so he stepped forward and whispered softly: "In this sect competition, if the senior brother and the second senior brother can't come back, the champion will be you. The academy wins the championship every year, and it won't happen this time either."
Exception, so make sure nothing happens when you patrol the imperial city this time!"
What Wang Ranran said made Zhou Tian somewhat unexpected.
"There are so many disciples in the academy, why me?"
"Senior Brother Seventh, don't you have a chance to win the championship? Other senior brothers and sisters have it!"
Zhou Tian looked at Wang Ranran with confusion.
"On the day of the competition, there were many people with superb cultivation, but very few who surpassed the Qi King Realm. If you can break through the Qi King Realm in these two days, you will be the final champion!"
Wang Ranran's words made Zhou Tian feel an inexplicable burden. He looked at his feet and looked back.
"There are still two days left, and we have to patrol and protect the imperial city. How can it be so easy to break through the Qi King Realm..."
