Chapter 156 The Eve of Assessment
Twitching the corners of his eyes, Zi Han patted the shoulder of the person in front of him
"Sometimes, excessive narcissism is a disease that needs to be cured."
"If I don't treat you, what will you do to me?" The corners of his eyes raised, and he looked up at Zi Han.
The distance was so close that she could even see the fine hairs on Zihan's face, and that face, so beautiful that she really wanted to knock her down.
I thought so, but Shura Shura didn’t dare
She knew that although Zi Han did not resist her closeness, he did not have that kind of feeling for her.
Therefore, she does not force her, sometimes, companionship is enough.
The fact that Zi Han could start complaining and disapproving of her and joke unscrupulously showed that he was a very close friend in her heart, and only friends would do that. (Are you sure, Mr. Shura?)
But when I think about being so kind and indulgent to this person, this person still doesn’t understand my friendship. He is a human being, and he will have resentment
Stretching out his hand, he pinched the soft flesh around Zihan's waist and said, "I hate you so much!" He leaned on her shoulder, his voice sounded a little weak.
Lowering his head and looking at someone who was a little resentful at the moment, Zi Han silently slapped the hand off his waist, put his hands around Shura's waist, and sat there for a long time without saying anything.
When it comes to relationships, Zi Han can't make any guarantees. She can only say that everything is up to chance, and she doesn't deliberately refuse or accept.
——
The day before the assessment, everyone in Qingli Imperial City became excited. Every young man clenched his fists, held out his chest, and his eyes were full of fire and firm belief. Zhongxuan
A paradise for cultivators.
It was a place they dreamed of entering, and this assessment gave them countless hopes.
In the center of the imperial city, where every inch of land was at a premium, a watchtower suddenly appeared out of thin air. A huge white jade stone stood in the center, with three huge words written on it, Assessment Stone.
Tomorrow's assessment is here.
Everyone is a little confused. Isn't the assessment just about playing in the arena? What about the arena?
Why is there just a stone here?
At the same time, all assessors received the message.
"All assessors will gather in the center of the Imperial City at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and report to the Watchtower. Those who exceed the time limit will be disqualified from the assessment."
Putting away the message stone, she looked out the window, the assessment was finally about to begin——
In a quiet and elegant small pavilion in the lake, there were several figures sitting inside. They were hazy, as if there was a layer of mist surrounding them, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Tomorrow, the assessment will begin. It's so fast, it's another session," an old man said slowly, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life, obviously having experienced all kinds of changes in the world and transformed.
A woman in palace attire next to her was noncommittal, "We have prepared everything we should prepare, and now we have to look at the juniors."
"This assessment is not easy." The old man sighed, with a white beard on his lips. "Those juniors are all great now. I heard that several of them have advanced to the emperor level, and they are the same generation as us." After all, it feels like our lives have been in vain for so many years. ”
The woman in palace clothes glanced at the old man and said slowly: "This year's level is indeed much higher than previous years. Even the number of people who signed up this year is several times more, and the geniuses here in Dongxuan are now It seems that each one is more mysterious than the other, coming and going without a trace. Even we people can't grasp their whereabouts, which is indeed a bit of a failure."
The middle-aged man, who had been silent all this time, touched the cool stone table with his fingertips and spoke
"It's normal for those brats to travel secretly and cannot find their whereabouts. I just don't know whether the gap between our Dongxuan and other continents is still that big in this assessment."
The old man shook his head, his gray robe stuck to the old and thin body, shaking his sleeves, his voice was a little hoarse at the moment
"With those few people, I believe that the gap will be narrowed a lot this year." After a pause, he sighed, "But, as far as I know, there are several other continents like ours in Dongxuan. Peerless geniuses, they dominate the young geniuses in the entire continent. They have already stood at the pinnacle of the continent. I wonder if the geniuses in our continent can surpass them."
While the three of them were still sighing and chatting, a soaring eagle suddenly swooped down from the sky. With a cry, it flew into the pavilion and slowly landed at the feet of the woman in palace clothes, holding a shadow stone in its mouth.
The woman in palace clothes picked up the stone and threw it into the lake. Suddenly she stopped in the middle of the lake and the scene started playing.
On the screen, a calm woman in green clothes appeared in the center. As soon as she appeared, several people in the pavilion immediately stood up and bowed to the woman in salute
"My lord."
The woman nodded, flicked her sleeves, and motioned for several people to stand up. She said, "This assessment is different from previous ones. There are many contestants, and we don't have that many people here, so the rules of the assessment have changed."
Throwing out a scroll, "This is my revised rule for this assessment. It's all written on it. You take it, order everything, and wait for the assessment tomorrow."
After the voice finished speaking, the woman's figure faded away.
"Boom." With a sound, the shadow stone fell into the lake, splashing water crisply and loudly.
"Farewell, Your Majesty." Several people bowed and saluted again.
The woman has disappeared long ago, but they are still like this, which is enough to show that they have absolute sincerity and respect for the woman.
If Zi Han were here, he would find that the woman in the shadow stone is not the silence
Several people opened the scroll, and a few minutes later.
They held their foreheads and frowned in unison
"Once this rule comes out, I don't know how many people will be dissatisfied." The woman in palace clothes said with a wry smile.
"No, but it does save us a lot of trouble." The old man continued to stroke his beard.
The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky for a long time before speaking
"Actually, in the end, the weak ones will be eliminated. Those who can stand at the top can dominate no matter how many rules they follow."
At this point, several people finished their replies and went back to their respective places to give orders.
——
The assessment is being prepared in an orderly manner. The person who should be busy at this moment is sitting in the study, playing chess leisurely with others.
After falling into the trap, Ji Jing raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. He was dressed in white and gave him a noble and ascetic air, and his face was still expressionless.
She said: "Master, why are you free to come to my place today?"
In the past, if he hadn't gone to find his cold master, he would never have come to her Silent Hill.
Today is the first time this has happened. The owner of the village replied without raising his head: "I'm free every day. I just didn't come here in the past. This time I got interested and wanted to come to your Silent Hill for a walk."
Silent Hill looked at him strangely, then smiled and said: "Then what do you think of my Silent Hill, Master?"
"Very good." Then he remembered something with a strange look on his face, "The color combination is very good."
It is no better than his villa, the color is single and boring, so it is described as.
color? Ji Jing's eyes only moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose momentarily. The master still didn't forget the description of that person~
As long as I think of my cold, male-god-like master making constant complaints to that popular person, I don’t know why, but I can’t hide my smile.
Soon, the owner of the village made a move, rolled his eyes, and said lightly: "In a short time, there should be no big difference between mine and yours."
He has already asked people to start designing it, and I believe it will be renovated soon.
I will never be described like that by that person again.
"Pfft." A laugh came out, and Silence couldn't bear it any longer. After finishing laughing
Seeing that his master's expression was gradually turning dark, he said: "Actually, master, you don't have to care about what that person said, it's not that much like that."
Glancing at the silence, the owner stood up and looked out the window, "It's not because of that, it's just that my villa has been here for too long, and it's time to change it."
Ji Jing twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, her master felt awkward again.
"If the master says no, then it's not."
Owner: "."
His heart is extremely tangled
"That's right." Ji Jing also stood up and raised his hand to stroke the corners of his eyebrows, "Master, are you going tomorrow?"
"I won't go, it's boring. Let's go in the last few days."
"Yes." Shen Jing was noncommittal. In the first few rounds of competition, there were too many weak players. It could be said that it was a knockout round. The showdown between masters and masters was basically invisible.
——
The night wind was a little cool, and her clothes were still so thin. Zi Han leaned against the window, with his hand on his slender chin, his head slightly raised, looking at the moon in the sky.
The moonlight reflected in her eyes was so bright and quiet.
Inside the house, it seemed a little peaceful.
There was another person in the room.
But it was not the dead Shura, but another person.
Li Zigu drank tea, stared at Zi Han for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "What are you thinking about?"
One word brought Zi Han back to his distant mind, and he came back to his senses with a sincere expression on his face: "I'm thinking of you."
Li's face changed slightly, and his slightly narrowed eyes became even hazier at the moment.
"I was wondering why you came to my place."
The eyebrows are furrowed, Li rubs the tea cup with his fingertips, his eyes are deep, and the corners of his mouth are slightly curled
"Can't you finish the sentence at once?"
Zihan turned back: "Sorry, my brain twitched when I saw you."
Li twitched the corner of his mouth: ".Oh, my cultivation has not improved much, but my mouth is much sharper."
Zihan said modestly, "Thank you."
From: "."
After drinking the remaining tea in the cup, he stood up and left.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shura Shura, and the two passed by each other.
I snorted involuntarily in my heart.
Shura glanced at someone in the room and said, "Haha."
Li Ye looked back inexplicably, "Ha"
The two looked alike.
Purple cold in the house: "."
None of my business! ! !
