On Thursday afternoon, in the clone transformation class, before Lao Yao entered the classroom, the classroom of only two classmates was filled with the solemn atmosphere, especially after Jiang Yu asked this question naturally.
What should come will come eventually.
Zheng Qing felt relieved.
"On the day of the Forbidden Demon Festival, the doctor and the fat man, I went to the North District to meet Senior Colma on my way back. I encountered a few crows and were destroyed by them." He gave the most real and correct answer without thinking.
Zheng Qing has reviewed this answer many times in his heart. After careful simulation, he realized very clearly that it is difficult for him to lie in front of an excellent and familiar witch. Instead of being accidentally exposed afterwards, it is better to give the most correct answer honestly from the beginning.
Sure enough, after hearing this answer, Jiang Yu's attention was immediately diverted by a certain keyword. He no longer paid attention to the fact that the beads were destroyed, and he did not even ask Zheng Qing what he was doing in the northern district.
"Crow? Where did the crows come from... Haven't they died yet?" The witch's eyebrows frowned very well, and pressed the white jade kitten that was playing with her wrist.
Zheng Qing felt a little happy.
But his face showed a very seriousness.
"Maybe."
Although his words were uncertain, his tone was extremely certain: "Some time ago, I went to the Sakura Tavern, and Senior Sister Colma calculated a divination for me..."
Zheng Qing briefly described the "reverse tower" he got, as well as the nightmare that night, the dry crows hanging on the eagle rack and the cultists who prayed in the dream.
"This time we fell into the sandbox in the North District, we saw the eagle racks in our dream..."
After recalling his experience in the sandbox in a few words, he paused for a moment, and finally added cautiously: "Before escaping, we saw several wizards wearing crow masks rescued by a big crow... Those masks are exactly the same as those guys we encountered when we completed the hunting team promotion mission during the winter vacation!"
The white jade kitten finally escaped from the witch's shackles and ran to the witch's cuffs, rubbing against his wrist, looking pitiful.
"Be careful not to let it take your cufflinks away." After Jiang Yu reminded him, he looked at the boy seriously: "Why haven't you told me about this before?"
Zheng Qing clamped the white jade kitten with two fingers and sent it back to its owner's hand.
"Because your class schedule is fuller than mine...I don't want to make you more difficult." He explained in a low voice.
The witch bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed, lowered her head, fiddled with the white jade kitten under her hands, and after a while, she raised her head again.
"You are about to graduate... For the rest of the semester, staying in school, those crows can't do anything to you." At this point, she showed a little hesitation on her face, but she finally added: "In addition, for Senior Colma, I suggest you keep a little distance from her... Of course, I know that you are now an assistant professor at the Fringe College, and she is the vice dean of the Fringe College. I mean, try to keep a distance except for work."
Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This was the first time. Jiang Yu asked him to "stay away" from a certain witch so clearly that he did not react at the first time and what expression should he show.
But the attitude should still be clear.
"I am innocent between her... I mean, we have nothing to do with you!" The boy was eager to express some meaning, but the words were a bit bad.
A cherry-like light red appeared on the witch's face.
"I did not mean that."
She grabbed the white jade kitten and smashed it into Zheng Qing's arms. Her tone was a little angrily, but when the tone changed, she felt a little solemn: "Actually, I heard the elders in my family talk about a few things related to my senior sister before... Probably, she is now affected by the war between the school and the outside of the school for the 'Friendly College Dean'... And because her advancement foundation is not solid enough, the situation is very subtle and not completely obsessed with... At this time, keeping a safe distance from her will be beneficial to everyone."
The white jade kitten pulled the boy's chest and tried to get into his arms. Zheng Qing carried its tail, pulled it out, and returned it carefully to the witch again.
When he did these things, his mind was quickly filled with his experience when he went to the Cherry Blossom Tavern to meet Colma these days, and he suddenly became more clear in his heart - perhaps this is the reason why he noticed something "is not right" before.
“Very good, very good!”
Lao Yao's familiar voice suddenly rang in the ears of the two young wizards. Zheng Qing suddenly looked up and then found that the dean of Jiuyou Academy appeared at the table at some point. He was looking at the white jade kitten in Jiang Yu's hand with interest: "I noticed that Jiang Yu has completed the first stage of the clone transformation technique practice...whether of you?"
He turned to look at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing looked embarrassed and spread his palms open, revealing the obsidian that he had been holding. It had become a cat-shaped figure, and it seemed to be wrapped in a layer of vegetarian clothes, and it would wriggle from time to time.
Looking at his own, Zheng Qing couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu's again.
Perhaps because of the arrival of the legendary wizard, the white jade kitten felt a little awe. At this moment, it was very docile in the palm of the witch, sitting on the tail, dignified and well-behaved.
This made him even more frustrated.
Lao Yao patted his shoulder without commenting.
"Well, I probably understand the situation." He pulled the homework books of the two young wizards on the desk, and flipped the pages over his fingertips.
Only then did Zheng Qing notice that the professor's fingertips kept flashing with tiny lights and shadows, like a video of a frame. He is no longer a magic novice who knew nothing about it. It is easy to judge from these details that the professor in front of him was not a real person or a righteous person, but just a projection.
"The progress of our first few classes is relatively smooth, so after this class, you will not talk about new content... You two try to keep the progress consistent."
Speaking of this, the professor stretched out his finger and tapped Zheng Qing's head: "Especially you, take the first step of clone deformation as soon as possible. Jiang Yu's cat has crawled around, and your cat can't even distinguish between his beard and eyelashes. Don't you blush?"
Zheng Qing laughed with her, without the urge to blush.
This made him feel in his heart, and he missed the delicious boy who blushed after being criticized in his freshman year.
"What about you, professor?"
The witch looked boldly at Lao Yao who seemed to be about to sit back on the podium, and expelled her very tactfully: "You are in the classroom, and our self-study efficiency will be very low... After all, you are a legend, and just sitting there makes people tremble... Mr. Pierce said that a relaxed and pleasant environment is conducive to learning."
Lao Yao curled his lips.
"I don't think you are trembling at all." He murmured in a low voice, but his figure disappeared into the classroom with a loud "bang".
