A voice that sounded like a child suddenly sounded in Chu Xiangyun's ears, but Chu Xiangyun did not show any surprise, but stared at the ball of light woven with fine spiritual energy in a daze.
"Why are you ignoring me?" The child's voice became more cheerful.
Chu Xiangyun reluctantly turned her head and looked away, and then she noticed that someone was talking in her ear. She looked around and found nothing.
"I'm here! Didn't you just keep looking at me?"
"..."
Chu Xiangyun cast her gaze back to the ball of light, her expression becoming fascinated again, but she quickly came to her senses, patted her head in annoyance, and finally turned her head away impolitely.
"Are you... this ball of light?"
"No, this ball of light is me!"
Chu Xiangyun didn't understand the difference, but she didn't ask. She just lowered her head and looked at her shoes. Only in this way could she not be attracted by these spiritual powers.
"Who are you?" she asked the most basic question.
"Who am I? Who should I say?"
"..."
It was the first time that Chu Xiangyun met such a difficult person to talk to. She was not very eloquent and fell silent, but the next moment she remembered what Chen Wanjing said.
If you don't know what to say to continue the conversation, you can repeat what the other person said.
So she asked: "Who are you?"
The ball of light answered cheerfully: "I am the Zangkong Tower! I am Kongkong!"
Chu Xiangyun blinked slowly, unable to react, "Are you Zangkonglou?"
A...self-aware spiritual weapon?
Chu Xiangyun thought of those long-standing legends, no, that shouldn't be said, because——
"I am the Zangkong Tower! I am the weapon spirit!"
Yes, such beings have their own names.
Instrument spirit.
Chu Xiangyun never thought that she could see such an existence with her own eyes. She suppressed her desire to observe in detail, and even bit her finger anxiously to calm herself down, but she still couldn't help but ask a series of questions.
.
"Are you the weapon spirit of Zangkong Tower? How were you born? Who is your master?"
"..." The weapon spirit named Kongkong seemed to be knocked down by her question. He suddenly became quiet and the light ball stopped shaking.
"You can speak slowly." Chu Xiangyun tried hard to think of a comforting word.
Kongkong still didn't answer for a long time. Just when Chu Xiangyun was disappointed, the light covering the surface of the light ball suddenly began to flicker again.
"You talk a lot." His tone seemed a little aggrieved.
It was the first time in Chu Xiangyun's life that someone talked too much. She thought for a while and was unable to refute: "I don't talk much."
"You asked me three questions at once, and the first question was still nonsense."
"...I'm sorry." Chu Xiangyun decided to apologize.
The light ball seemed to be startled, and suddenly started shaking, "No, it doesn't matter."
It even stuttered a bit.
"Has no one ever said sorry to you?" Chu Xiangyun asked.
"No one has spoken to me for a long time!" After saying this, the light ball suddenly became quiet as if it had dropped out of the line. It took a long time before it picked up the previous words, "It's been seven hundred and seventy-five years!"
Listening to its voice, Chu Xiangyun felt as if a young child was standing in front of him, counting on his fingers.
"But there was a kid who often talked to me and walked around with strange instruments. It was very interesting." Kong Kong's voice sounded very happy.
"Child?" Chu Xiangyun muttered, wondering if there would be any children in the Lingxiao Mansion? But considering the age of this weapon spirit, I'm afraid everyone would be considered a child in its eyes.
"Yeah, it's a pity that he can't hear me or see me." Kongkong was a little frustrated, but he quickly became happy again, "But you're here! I've been waiting for you!"
"What are you doing here? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Ah." Chu Xiangyun was suddenly reminded, "I'm here to branch out."
"Sort hospital?" The light ball tilted slightly, as if tilting its head, "Then are you lost?"
As he spoke, four rays of light suddenly emitted extremely bright light on the ground, pointing in four different directions.
"Which college do you want to go to?"
Kongkong was very enthusiastic. Even though the light ball couldn't make a large range of movements, he still tried his best to swing it, trying to show Chu Xiangyun the way.
"Look, this one with a bit of cyan is the East Campus! The children in this academy are very active, and they walk very fast every time they come here."
"Then this white one is the West Academy! The children in this academy are so playful. They often bring all kinds of magical things here. Unfortunately, I have never seen my kind there."
"Then there is the red one, which is the South Academy! The children in this academy are very gentle and will come to read to me."
"The last one is this one with a bit of black. Doesn't it look a little obvious? This is the North Academy! The kids from this academy rarely come to my place. I don't know why... but I really want to make friends with them."
"How about it, you can go to any college you want!"
"..." Chu Xiangyun never expected that such a situation would happen, and was stunned for a moment.
It turns out... can you still choose your own college?
Are others like this too?
"What's wrong? You can't choose?" Kongkong said playfully, as if he knew her inner struggle, "Then I recommend you to go this way!"
Suddenly, among these four roads, another gray road appeared, which would disappear in the darkness if you didn't look carefully.
"Hmm... This doesn't seem to be very powerful." Kong Kong said a little distressed, and then he moved up and down, as if he was jumping, "That's good!"
As its voice fell, the newly appeared road was suddenly added with special effects, flashing with golden light. Chu Xiangyun was stung by this light and had to squint his eyes.
"This looks awesome!" Kong Kong said as if he was very proud.
"Well..." Chu Xiangyun waited until his eyes gradually adjusted before he hesitated to speak, "So where does this road lead?"
Is there a fifth academy in Lingxiao Mansion? Zhuqing has never mentioned this matter.
Kongkong hummed twice proudly, and even added sound effects with his own mouth, "Qiang Qiang!"
"This is the principal's office!"
"..."
Chu Xiangyun was stunned.
"The principal's office is part of me! If you become the principal, you can come and play with me at any time!"
It seemed to be excited as it said, "Choose this way, choose this way, choose this way..."
Chu Xiangyun covered his ears, his heart was inexplicably moved for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
"I feel like if I did that I might be kicked back..."
The light ball dimmed in disappointment, and the shining golden road disappeared. The first four roads were left in front of Chu Xiangyun.
"Then which college do you want to go to?" Kong Kong's voice was a little listless, as if he had been shocked.
Seeing that Chu Xiangyun was very troubled, Kong Kong pointed out again: "Those children who came in with you before..."
"The first one to come in chose this way." The line emitting white light flashed.
"The second one chose this road." The cyan light flashed twice.
"Both of the last two chose this one."
Chu Xiangyun's heart was lifted, and then she saw the almost invisible black line flashing slightly. She couldn't help but look at the end of the road, and could see nothing except the spiritual light intertwined in the air.
...Zhuqing, is he in this academy?
"I think you should choose this one!" Kongkong pointed to the red light, "This way you will have everything from east to west, north and south!"
After being interrupted by it, Chu Xiangyun's original nervous mood was inexplicably relieved. She looked back at the light ball with somewhat funny eyes, and the sense of alienation caused by its appearance completely disappeared.
But she still hesitated for a long time, and even Kong Kong started to sway again out of boredom.
"I……"
Chu Xiangyun's slightly dry voice sounded in the silence, but his tone was surprisingly firm.
