Chapter 7 Fair Play First Come First Served(1/2)
Bai Xiao sat in the VIP lounge of Xinhu Restaurant, feeling a bit like the "colored eyes" in the snowy mountains. It is a very small and cute and pestless creature. He feeds on ice and snow, is agile and quick. There is a dazzling iridescent eye on his forehead, like the most precious gem in the world. Legend has it that under the witness of Colored eyes, the oath of love can last forever.
Therefore, every time Cai Wang appears in the mountains, it will attract the attention of the tribe, especially the young hunter will do his best to bring his favorite person with him, and then release the passion for mating under Cai Wang's gaze.
Around Bai Xiao, a group of southern teenagers who were anxious about the courtship period were surrounded.
"Your name is Bai Xiao? Who is from here? Why have you never heard of you?"
"Who sent you here? It can be auctioned for more than 700,000 yuan. It should not be a nameless family, right?"
"Your story is well written, who taught you? Miss Qingyue's innocent and charming may be deceived by your sweet words, so we will be different. We will definitely find out your details. At that time, no matter who the family behind you is, you will definitely not be able to bear the consequences."
...
Such rumors were endless. Bai Xiao just regarded it as environmental noise and ignored it completely because he could not hear any desire to communicate from these noises, and was simply venting his personal anger. He looked like a rotten dog barking around a giant beast.
Until a girl in a pitch-black robe suddenly sat opposite him, put down two cups of tea, and said, "Young Master Bai, I'll be lucky."
Bai Xiao then raised his head and looked at the other party.
The girl looked about the same age as Qingyue, and her small face was full of immatureness, but her eyes were agile and clever, which reminded Bai Xiao of those little beasts who were weak in physical strength but were like fish in water on the snow-capped mountains.
"I am Sun Wen, the queen of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a candidate this time. Where is Mr. Bai from?"
As he said that, Sun Wen picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"This is the Baihua Dew I brought. It's not a great deal, but it tastes clear and sweet aftertaste. Qingyue also likes it very much."
Bai Xiao then picked up the teacup and drank it all in one sip. He felt that the taste was light, so how could there be any clear or sweet?
At the same time, the crowd gathered not far away was slightly commotion, but was stopped by Sun Wen's look back.
Then, the girl repeated her question: "Where are you from?"
"Snow Mountain in the North, the White-clothed Tribe."
Sun Wen showed an obvious and extremely unexpected expression.
"Snow Mountain? refers to the snowy mountain north of the gray plain? There are humans living there? This..."
Sun Wen stopped talking, looked at the teacup in front of Bai Xiao, and felt that things were becoming more and more incredible, and she couldn't help but froze there.
At this time, a young man in blue smiled and said, "Miss Sun Wen, you think things simple. Since this person dares to be exposed in broad daylight, the person behind the scenes must have reflected all details. The person's identity and origin, etc. have also compiled a set of self-justified rhetoric..."
Sun Wen said in confusion: "But he drank tea!"
"Baihua reveals only people who tell the truth, but the truth may not be the truth. If someone has done a deep hypnosis for him before and makes him believe in a set of lies, then no matter how much Baihua reveals it, it will still be lies, so it is useless for you to ask this."
Sun Wen was a little unhappy: "Otherwise, what else can I ask? Qi Wei, you are very polite. Why don't you come and ask?"
Qi Wei shook his head and said, "Why do you need to ask about this kind of thing? You can understand it by thinking about it. First of all, I think no one among the people present will really believe his nonsense, right? He was born in the Snow Mountain Tribe and was a boyfriend and girlfriend with Miss Qingyue. Not to mention that in the desperate situation where monsters appear, is it really possible that there is a human tribe? Even if there is, it will be at least isolated from the territory of civilization for one or two thousand years. So how much difference will their writing, language and we have? Just say that there are slight differences in accents between the hundreds of cities in Daqin.
, the people in Dongli City use very few sounds. To the south, from the south of Xiayu Pass, the local accent has made it difficult for people in the capital circle to understand. As for the Eastern Continent, although they are of the same origin as us, they are separated by a sea and have a great difference in writing for two thousand years. May I ask, why can this young master of Snow Mountain speak relatively standard Mandarin, recognize the words here, and even his own words are written quite well! I have read his signature on the front desk registration form, and his skills are extraordinary."
These remarks caused a response.
"Young Master Qi is really amazing!"
"I am worthy of being a descendant of the master. I am so genius that ordinary people can't even envy him... I heard that he got 95 points in the theoretical simulation exam, which is close to the historical record. With this theoretical foundation alone, he has secured half of the admission notice."
Qi Wei smiled slightly at the discussion behind him and said, "What I just said is actually just a common sense judgment. Even if I don't say it, you will not believe his nonsense. And the next thing is the point, what is his origin and who sent him? This question seems to be uncovered, but in fact it still has a context. For example, the person behind the scenes can take out the Dragon's Tears worth 780,000 silver dollars, which is enough to shrink the range to a very small one."
"Wait, Mr. Qi, this may not be true. Seventy-eighty-thousand silver dollars are indeed a lot, but if someone is planning behind the scenes and treacherously trying to get more rewards from Miss Qingyue, then even ordinary families may not be able to get it."
Qi Wei said: "The problem is the tears of the dragon, not the silver. This precious gem is rarely circulated on the market, especially the ones with excellent quality! This is a natural gem that cannot be made by hand, and the storage conditions are very strict. If the storage is not properly maintained, the magic energy will continue to be lost, so generally only the magic family will have collections. There are a few tears of the dragon in my house... But to be honest, the quality is slightly inferior to that of the comparison."
Everyone was shocked again when they heard this. Although the Qi family was not a top magic family, there was a Grandmaster of Apocalypse three hundred years ago, and they still had a foundation. If even the Qi family did not have such a good-quality dragon tears...
"Secondly, put a tear of dragons and weave a set of hilarious identities and rhetorics in the world. Where is the reward for doing this? Everyone does things with a purpose, for example, everyone present, including me, spends several times the housing price to move into Xinhu Restaurant. What is the purpose of staying in Xinhu Restaurant? I think most people should make friends and get to know their future fellow Taoists in advance. So what is the purpose of this Bai Xiao? Want to date Miss Qingyue? This is probably not realistic. But it is not difficult for us to notice that after he appeared, Miss Qingyue was greatly affected. She should have been preparing for the exam in Xinhu Restaurant, but now she has wasted her precious time to find Dean Zhu to confirm the absurdity.
The question... Although with her talent, the admission notice of the college is unquestionable, the scores of the entrance examination are likely to be much worse than expected, and this will not only affect her class division results, but also affect President Zhu herself. After all, Miss Qingyue is the dean's closed disciple. The dean has rejected invitations from countless wealthy families for decades, but has accepted a mysterious girl as her disciple. If there is a problem with her growth, the dean will also be implicated. So back to the previous question, who is willing to spend so much resources and hard work specifically to target Dean Zhu and Miss Qingyue? Do they have such enemies in the Western Continent? Or is the other party not from the Western Continent?"
Speaking of this, Qi Wei paused for a moment, looked at the crowds around him who were constantly falling into deep thought, and said, "I wonder if you have heard of the 'Narcissus Hall' in the East Continent."
As soon as these words were spoken, many young people's faces suddenly became ugly, and a very small number of people showed confusion.
Qi Wei explained: "Narcissus Hall is an institution dedicated to dealing with external intelligence work in the Yuan Dynasty. Its tentacles are spread throughout the East and West Continents and has planned many earth-shaking events, such as the Horizon Massacre a hundred years ago. It is said that it was the work of Narcissus Hall."
When it comes to the Horizon Tragedy, everyone present knows it.
A hundred years ago, King Xiang, who was in the north, believed in some places, and mistakenly thought that at the end of the horizon, there were rare treasures from ancient times hidden in the snow-capped mountains in the northern border. So he gathered a large army to fight against the desperate situation of the snow-capped mountains, and the entire army was wiped out in just half a month. On that expedition, the Qin Dynasty lost nearly 100,000 soldiers, and more than 500 demon priests fell, including three quasi-grand masters, which can be regarded as the most tragic battle of the Qin Dynasty in the past thousand years.
There are many different opinions about the tragedy a hundred years ago, but the biggest doubt is that the Qin Dynasty was established 1,400 years ago. Including the Lu family dynasty and colonial era before, for more than two thousand years, no one has ever thought of crossing the northern barrier and going deep into the snow-capped mountains. Why can't I resist when I get to King Xiang? Because his brainlessness is better than mankind for two thousand years?
Now it seems that the Narcissus Hall in the East Continent is a reasonable explanation. Since the independence of the Western Continent, the Yuan Dynasty's attitude towards the Western Continent has been very ambiguous. On the surface, it acknowledges independence, but secret conspiracy and destruction have been continuously continuously. From the destruction of the Lu family dynasty to the bizarre fall of some demon masters, there is a shadow of the Narcissus Hall behind it. So that any incident in the Western Continent will be attributed to the Narcissus Hall's conspiracy.
Qi Wei linked Bai Xiao to the Narcissus Hall. Although there was no real evidence, he did not need any real evidence, which made everyone feel aggrieved.
Just as he was about to take further measures, someone suddenly spoke again.
"I think, I might as well believe that what he said is true first. He is indeed from the Xueshan Tribe and was indeed a boyfriend and girlfriend with Qingyue. It is more logical than trying every means to prove that he lies, or even use the words of the Narcissus Hall... to openly recognize his words, it is more logical."
These words were obviously a bit out of place, but after the words came, Qi Wei looked down respectfully: "Young Master Lu said yes, I have some preconceptions."
Sun Wen also blushed: "I'm sorry, I've taken my own decision."
Both Sun Wen and Qi Wei were from famous families and highly anticipated magical geniuses. Their talent and family background were also considered first-class in the Qin Dynasty. However, at this time, they all lowered their heads sincerely.
Because the person who spoke was named Lu.
One thousand eight hundred years ago, the colonial policies of the Yuan Dynasty in the Western Continent became increasingly strict so that the people were living in poverty. So the overlord Lu Hao set up an army to independence. After more than 200 battles of all sizes, he killed the Yuan Dynasty's garrison in the Western Continent into blood, and finally exchanged for the independence of the entire continent. The dynasty lasted for four hundred years before it was replaced by the Qin Dynasty. That dynasty was not killed. The Lu family just abdicated the throne, and then led Hongshan City as a prince for 1,400 years, and was still the top family second only to the royal family.
Lu Xun is the first heir to the throne of the Lu family and the master of the Lu family's demonic bloodline. The Lu family's bloodline lasted for two thousand years. If each generation of masters fails to die halfway, they can enter the realm of a master.
Compared with such people, Sun Wen, Qi Wei and others were immediately dim, not to mention that the Sun family and Qi family were subordinates of the Lu family hundreds of years ago. Now that Lu Xun spoke, the two of them naturally dared not question it.
"Then, Mr. Bai Xiao, let's accept your statement completely and we are here to welcome you on behalf of Hongshan City."
As he said that, Lu Xun snapped his fingers and changed the tea cup on the tea table, and the brand new tea fragrance came to his face.
"This is the Xiangyang tea I tried growing at my own manor, so I might as well give it a try."
Bai Xiao looked at Lu Xun and felt that this southerner was completely different from others. Although he was wearing men's clothes, his long hair tied behind his head was softer and brighter than a woman, his skin was as fine as jade, bright and bright as a pair of teeth, and even his voice was as orderly as the drizzle in the south.
However, this person was the one who brought the strongest oppression to him among the people present. The rest of the people, regardless of their words and deeds, seemed to Bai Xiao to ignore the environmental noise, just like a small herbivore that hunters encountered when walking on the snow-capped mountains. Only Lu Xun had a bit of the bloodiness of a carnivore.
"So, you're my competitor?"
Bai Xiao picked up the teacup, drank Xiangyang Tea in one go, wiped his mouth, and raised his own question.
Lu Xun couldn't help but be stunned. It was not only for this straightforward question, but also for the other party's generous attitude of drinking tea. Xiangyang tea was a famous product he tried with his own hands, and it was also a genuine product of magic. The tea tree condensed the essence of sunlight. Each piece of tea contains the energy of light for a whole day. This cup of tea seemed ordinary, but it was like ignited oil. After a cup of wine, ordinary people were afraid that they would roll on the ground on the spot.
However, if you can take out the Dragon Tears to bid for the Grandmaster's Room and claim to be Qingyue's ex-boyfriend in full view, of course, such a person cannot be an ordinary person. So after Lu Xun was surprised, he smiled and said, "If your so-called competition refers to opposing your romantic relationship with Qingyue, then everyone present is your competitor. I am frank, if you really like Miss Qingyue, you shouldn't come to her, stay in the snow mountain, and continue to live a life of isolation from the world, which is good for both of you."
Bai Xiao asked with some confusion and some amused: "So the way you southerners really like one person is to be separated from each other forever? Then how do you so many people in the south reproduce? Why are the strong women?"
"You're messing around..."
"presumptuous……"
Just as countless roars and scoldings were about to erupt, Lu Xun laughed: "Hahahaha, it's so good, better than I expected. I didn't expect that you look different from your appearance. You are a very thorough guy. No wonder Qingyue looks at you differently."
As he said that, Lu Xun also picked up the teacup, drank it all, then turned his head and said to the person behind him with confusion: "I know what everyone is thinking. This kind of snow-capped savage is definitely not worthy of our magic princess. It is best to come from where to go. But this is just our wishful thinking. From his perspective, there is no reason to give up pursuing that flawless girl. If you really like someone, it does not mean letting go, but to exhaust everything you can to keep the other person by your side."
Some people cannot accept it: "But his life experience and even his relationship with Miss Qingyue are just his own words, and I think it is completely unreliable..."
Lu Xun waved his hand: "There is indeed no evidence, but it can be based on logical reasoning."
Now, even Qi Wei didn't understand: "Young Master Lu, what do you mean..."
"Because at least Qingyue, the party involved, believed it, otherwise why did she waste valuable time preparing for the exam and ask the dean to confirm the matter? Since the party involved believed it, what reason do I have to question her?"
"What kind of logical reasoning is this..."
"Or I, in other words, Miss Qingyue believes it, what's the difference between believing it or not?"
Sun Wen said unwillingly: "Then we just watch it..."
"Of course not." Lu Xun said, "I believe in their past and do not recognize their present and future. Even if Miss Qingyue had loved him in the past, it was a matter of the Snow Mountain era, and it was the past that had been forgotten by Miss Qingyue."
"You can find something that you forget..."
"How to find it?" Lu Xun asked, "Even he himself may not be able to find the things that were wiped out by the Master Duanshu. Besides, will Miss Qingyue want to find her memory?"
Sun Wen was even more puzzled: "I know that my memory has been manipulated, of course I will..."
"Of course? That's just for granted... Let me give you an example. Suppose there is a girl from a famous family who has a pure and noble family background, intelligent and virtuous life, and has an infinitely beautiful future... However, this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, when she just entered the rebellious period, she was once tempted by a lowly slave and had a miserable life, but she was cleansed by the elders in her family afterwards. So, will this famous family be willing to find her unbearable memories? Moreover, human memories are closely related to personality. A person whose memories are washed away can be regarded as a brand new person. On the other hand, that washed away memory is a brand new life for her. Will you be willing to suddenly carry someone else's life?"
Sun Wen was speechless.
Qi Weize said: "What is important is not what we think, but what Miss Qingyue thinks."
Lu Xun sighed: "Yes, what is important is the idea of the person involved, so I hope that Mr. Bai can be a fool, so that I can drive him out of Hongshan City without any pressure, and even out of the territory of civilization. Unfortunately, he is not only not stupid, but a genius."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Genius? This title is really rare. Even in the tribe, people only praise him for his talent in hunting and martial arts. Few people praise his intelligence against their conscience. Qingyue even talks about stupid people all year round.
Bai Xiao's first reaction was to question the average IQ level of the Southern Continent.
This is also a very reasonable question, because on the snowy mountain, there are always few creatures with strong individual strength or cleverness. Conversely, the large number are often weak and stupid creatures.
Now known conditions 1: The Xueshan tribe is sparsely populated, and at its most prosperous time it was only about 10,000 people. The known conditions 2: The southern continent has a large population, and in the books, the Qin Dynasty alone had more than one billion people a hundred years ago. The Yuan Dynasty in the eastern continent was even more prosperous and powerful.
So according to Bai Xiao's understanding, a very reasonable inference is that compared with the people of Xueshan, the people of the south are both weak and stupid, so they can only be considered a middle-aged man in the tribe, and when they arrive in the southern continent, they become geniuses.
To be continued...
