Zheng Qing chewed the name of the tall and lanky wizard, feeling a knot in his heart as he didn't know whether to spit it out or not.
Spit it out, it seems like you don’t have much respect for people.
But I don't want to spit it out quickly, it's suppressed in my heart, and I'm panicking.
Deng Xiaojian did not notice the tangle on the young wizard's face. His face was a little sallow, his eyebrows were slender, he had a neat bun, and a machete hanging on his waist, which made him look a bit nondescript.
But when Zheng Qing noticed the blue robe of Starry Sky Academy under his cloak, the feeling of disobedience in his heart was immediately relieved.
For an academy that prefers fists to Dharma books, it seems that a Taoist priest carrying a machete in his waist is not an unacceptable combination.
"Hello, Senior Xiaojian." Lin Guo said with a sullen face as he respectfully greeted the tall and lanky wizard. Apparently, he noticed the black stripe on the strange wizard's blue robe - it meant
Looking at one of his sophomore seniors.
Deng Xiaojian's mouth twitched when he heard the name of the little wizard.
Zheng Qing helped his forehead.
What the hell is Senior Xiaojian called! It’s easier to call him Senior Deng than Senior Xiaojian! Was Lin Guo’s brain eaten away by a zombie?
Before he could think of how to adjust the atmosphere, a series of "squeaky" laughter came from behind him.
Yes, it's laughter.
After raising his little fox for so long, he knew very well the temperament of his own little fox. Even without looking back, the young public-funded student could guess that the fox was probably laughing so hard that it fell over the goat.
He turned his head, and sure enough.
Poseidon held the black goat's horns with his front paws, raised his big fluffy tail high, squinted his eyes, and laughed so hard that his whole body trembled.
The black goat's mouth also stopped moving, and he looked at the strange wizard not far away with a strange look on his face, with doubts clearly in his eyes: Who would call such an arrogant name!
"This is the first time I heard a fox bark like this." Deng Xiaojian smiled dryly and said to himself.
He would never get angry with two small animals.
"It's still young and has never seen the world...it's funny." Zheng Qing explained hurriedly, but found that every time he said the word "jian", the corner of Deng Xiaojian's mouth twitched.
This made the young public-sponsored student even more at a loss. He simply turned around, grabbed the little fox by its crested skin, stuffed it into his arms, and blocked its mouth with the corner of his robe to stop its impolite behavior.
"So I always hate introducing myself." Deng Xiaojian successfully relieved the somewhat stiff atmosphere with a slightly self-deprecating statement.
"I hate introducing myself too." Lin Guo said sincerely from the side.
"If you don't mind, you can call me 'Deng Zi' like my friends." Deng Xiaojian scratched his chin, looking helpless: "If possible, I hope you won't call me by my name in public when we meet in the future. It's easy.
Cause unnecessary trouble. Of the ten fights I fought in the Starry Sky, seven or eight were caused by names..."
While listening to his rambling words, Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly, while stroking Poseidon's big tail and sizing up the unfamiliar senior in front of him, a little unsure of his purpose.
Maybe just stop by and say hello?
This possibility is very high, the young public-sponsored student thought to himself. Ever since he was awarded the Order of Merlin, he would always meet strange wizards on campus to greet him - many of them would bring notebooks and ask for his autograph.
"...Our hunting team is training at night today. Just now Lanzi said that there are two freshman patrol students here, so I guessed it was you." Deng Xiaojian held the machete on his waist and continued to talk about himself.
He said, acting very casually: "As expected."
Zheng Qing smiled cooperatively, his eyes wandering around the tall and lanky wizard for a moment, and finally couldn't help but reminded in a low voice: "If you don't bring your notebook, you can go back to the library to find me... Everyone knows where I sit...
…I never signed the knife.”
"Sign? What kind of signature..." Deng Xiaojian looked confused, and then suddenly realized: "Do you think I came to you to ask for your signature... Hahahahaha..."
Laughter breaks the tranquility of the lakeside.
Several other members of the hunting team who were resting not far away glanced here curiously.
The sleeping birds on the branches were awakened by the laughter, opened their mouths angrily, and complained loudly.
At the lakeside, a kappa who had just climbed ashore was startled by the sudden noise. His feet slipped and he rolled back to Linzhong Lake, creating shallow waves in the water.
"Sorry..." Seeing Zheng Qing's face gradually turn purple, Deng Xiaojian finally stopped laughing, waved his hand apologetically, and added: "I really just came over to say hello and get to know you."
Zheng Qing had a dark face and did not answer.
He was still in extreme embarrassment, and his mind was full of thoughts about how he could quietly slide into the bottom of Linzhong Lake and use the cold lake water to quench the heat all over his body.
"He can't join other clubs either." Lin Guo suddenly said, protecting the last bit of dignity of the young public-sponsored student: "We have formed a new knighthood... He is the leader of our knighthood."
"Knights?" Deng Xiaojian narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, nodded, and smiled approvingly: "Very good... I'm not here to drag you into the club - in fact, you are not suitable to join Starry Sky Academy either.
Society.”
Zheng Qing thought of the bloody rumors in the practical class and nodded involuntarily.
"I met you because my cousin... Deng Xiaoxian, you know, he asked me to help look after you at school. Our hunting team has been busy training some time ago, and you are also relatively busy, so there has been no
Make time to meet.”
"Deng Xiaoxian?" Zheng Qing heard this somewhat familiar name and didn't react for a moment.
Deng Xiaojian obviously noticed the confusion on his face.
"He's a tall, thin guy...with a lock of long hair on his forehead, and a drug store at home...he said he and you are neighbors." Deng Xiaojian gestured, looking a little strange: "Aren't you two familiar..."
"Oh, Pan Lu'er!" Zheng Qing yelled immediately, then realized what he was doing, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry...I used to call him nicknames. You just mentioned his name, and I haven't reacted yet."
"...Pan Lv'er..." Deng Xiaojian looked at Zheng Qing with a strange expression: "That's what you call him?"
"They're all nicknames." Knowing that he was an acquaintance of relatives, Zheng Qing's attitude became obviously much warmer, and the embarrassment on his face subsided unconsciously: "Pan Luer always calls me 'Little Mr.'...
"
This is purely to put money on your face.
But Deng Xiaojian obviously didn't know the twists and turns. He recalled his bad-tempered cousin, and then looked at the young man with a clean smile in front of him, and suddenly he was a little unsure about what kind of attitude to use in the conversation.
"Why is his surname Deng, but his cousin's surname is Pan?" Lin Guo obviously didn't understand the mystery, and twitched his fingers with a confused look on his face: "My cousin should have the same surname as my family. Could it be that your brother is adopted..."
"
Deng Xiaojian opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain the origin of his cousin's nickname to this underage wizard.
Zheng Qing is very skilled at handling this kind of thing.
He immediately changed the conversation and led the topic in another direction: "Isn't it dangerous for you to train at night? I have just been curious about why the school allows such unsafe things. If we encounter the trouble we had during our last patrol
…”
"You mean that little wild monster?" Deng Xiaojian raised his eyebrows, put his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and smiled slightly: "I have read the report, your performance is very good."
"But it's definitely not as good as you." Lin Guo's attention was diverted, and he added gloomily: "Your hunting team will definitely be able to cut that wild monster into pieces within ten seconds, without any trace of it.
Contamination...and I bet not a single person in your hunting party will faint."
Deng Xiaojian smiled reservedly and did not comment on the little wizard's words.
"Children, don't learn to bet." Zheng Qing stuffed Poseidon into Lin Guo's arms, rubbed his hair, and comforted him: "You just have no experience... don't always keep that matter in your heart.
.It’s not that serious.”
Lin Guo's expression was still a little depressed.
Poseidon stood up, rested his front legs on the little wizard's shoulders, stretched out his pink tongue, and licked his cheek.
