Working with the best among the new generation of disciples of the Luo family... It sounds quite good too.

Luo Qingqing is not only capable, but also has a good appearance. With such an outstanding woman by her side, her subsequent work will probably be particularly interesting, right?

"Hey, what are you giggling?" A voice full of disgust interrupted Xia Fan's thoughts.

"Uh," he came to his senses and scooped up a spoonful of broth and sent it to the fox demon's mouth. "I'm thinking about the future... I wonder what you think of Gyeonggi?"

Because there were few people in Baiqingshan, the hunting team gained a lot in the afternoon. Under the leadership of "Yan Di", who was born in a hunter, not only brought back more than ten hare deer, but also lucky enough to catch a pair of mountain deer and add dinner to more than a hundred candidates. This bowl of venison stewed soup was also specially prepared for the fox demon during the recovery period. Considering that the other party was unable to move and could easily tear the wounds through eating by himself, he ignored Li's protests and simply fed the other party one by one.

The fox demon grinned after touching the spoon, looking hot.

"Ah... I'm sorry," Xia Fan took it back and blew it again when he saw this, "It should be fine now."

Unexpectedly, Li looked at him even more strangely, as if he was looking at an abnormal person. After a while, she slowly drank the broth, "Why did she suddenly ask about Shangyuan?"

Shangyuan City is the capital of Qiguo and is also the important place in the capital of the capital that people call.

"It's nothing, I just want to think what will happen if I go there in the future." Xia Fan stirred up the minced meat in the bowl. "Someone told me that the candidates who ranked first in the rank of the Scholar Examination will be assigned to the Privy Council in the capital, but as the capital, there should be very few evil phenomena there? Is there a large number of alchemists, and are everyone idle?"

"I have never been there, but I heard from the master that Shangyuan seemed magnificent and prosperous, but secretly it was full of dangers. All the alchemists who could take root there were not simple."

"Danger?" Xia Fan said in surprise.

"You don't think that the Privy Council is specially used to deal with evil things, right?" Li said this and showed a sarcastic smile, and his expression seemed familiar. Xia Fan vaguely remembered that she also smiled like this when she mentioned that the Privy Council had been terrifying than you thought. "Yes, there are no mass graves in big cities, and the order is much better than that in small places. But as a place where the power of the Great Revelation is concentrated, how could Shangyuan be calm? According to my master, there are not only many alchemists there, but also many talented people from other places, such as those who flew across the sea, missionaries in the Western Pole, and visiting missions from neighboring countries... Just surveillance is enough to be in a state of silence."

"What's the meaning?"

"When the enemy uses magic to make mistakes, if the superiors do not prepare accordingly, wouldn't they even have room for resistance?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

"It would be a waste to have the power that ordinary people do not possess, but only use it to deal with evil spirits." Li narrowed his eyes and said, "It is a fact that monsters harm people, but the number is only a fraction. You humans are always the ones who kill more people, but you don't know it yet. Since alchemists can become a sharp blade, how to use weapons in normal times and how to use them now is not a very simple truth?"

"You didn't have time to ask me how I was injured before, I'll tell you now." She told the full story of the fight with Ba Xingtian, "This person is what I said, "Weapon". I can feel the strong evil spirit on him, which means that there are not a thousand lives in his hands, and there are hundreds of them. And this person is just a guard of the Privy Council. Those alchemists on it are probably stained with more blood than him. As for how many evil spirits they have killed, will the officials sitting in Shangyuan City really care? I want me to say..."

Li suddenly stopped because Xia Fan had already delivered a new spoonful of soup to her mouth.

She glared at him angrily, and finally opened her mouth obediently.

"I thought it was a bit simple, but this situation should not be treated as normal." Xia Fan defended his ethnic group, "People always want to live a good life. As long as someone takes the lead, the world will always get better and better. Even if they have powerful weapons in their hands, they will not be easily used because of restraint."

Nonsense. Although the fox demon thought so in his heart, the inexplicable confidence revealed in the conversation between the language made her take back this sentence, and finally just snorted, "It seems that you have seen it."

"Don't we all come here like this? If there is no progress, humans should still eat raw meat and drink blood on the trees."

"I hope you can think so in the future." Li shrugged disapprovingly.

"If I go to Gyeonggi..." Xia Fan paused for a moment, "Will you go with me?"

The fox demon was silent for a moment, then shook his ears, "Don't worry, I don't have the habit of silence. Although there is a great risk to the demon, the chance is also not small. If there is the most suitable place to imprison a Qingjian, I'm afraid there is only the Privy Council in Dadu. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Do you really think you can rank among the top in the Scholar exam?" Li rolled his eyes, "I'm frank, with your strength, I can knock you down with a tail before I was injured. I can only say wise but I can't eliminate the turbid things in the evil night. I told you not to force me before, and it would be okay to wait for another three years. As a result, you are not only not running away, but also thinking about getting a first name? First, consider how to save your life in the evil night!"

...

When Xia Fan fell asleep, it was already half past midnight.

Li did not fall asleep - this was the first time she was huddled with a human in a small room to spend the night in a waking state.

The other party re-stitched the blanket and bedding on the floor, which was considered not to interfere with each other, but considering that she was a demon, such a distance was incredible.

Li didn't care about the red tape of human beings. It was just a false sense of men and women who were not allowed to give a kiss. The key was the difference in her identity between her and the other party. The master didn't mind her getting close, which was based on the difference in strength between the two parties. However, the person in front of him did not have the strength to suppress his own head, but he slept quite peacefully, which was simply incredible.

However, when it comes to incredible, isn't she the same? She was determined to avenge the Privy Council, but she lived in the same room with the alchemist who was determined to be admitted to the Privy Council, and even accepted the other party's care in a noble manner.

What exactly went wrong?

She was puzzled for a moment.

Until the moonlight outside the window shone on the empty bowl of porridge, the fox demon's eyes also stopped.

What emerged in my mind was the scene of Xia Fan blowing air into the spoon.

Will anyone really do this to the demon?

No... no one will do this unless the other party does not treat her as a monster or a stranger.

An answer suddenly appeared in Li's heart.

She was surprised to find that from the first meeting of Xia Fan to the present, he seemed to have never shown any sense of repulsion, as if he was nothing different from himself.

This is also the reason why she thought the other party was "abnormal" at that time - even the master would not do this. At least she could feel that in the eyes of the master, she was still a foreign race, a world of difference from humans, so she repeatedly taught herself not to get close to other people easily.

But Xia Fan did not. The eyes he looked over were always casual. This "normal" even made Li feel that he was ignored, so that he briefly ignored its own irrationality. When she recalled, she realized how rare it was.

It seems that the other party has not been with a demon for the first time, but has experienced thousands of similar scenes.

But in his mouth, he was clearly the first demon he saw.

I have never been exposed to it, but I am used to it. This is somewhat similar to what I was born with. But... Is this really something like this in the world?

...

The two days were not long. At the 7th afternoon, the remaining candidates had gathered in the center of Qingshan Town to prepare for the last difficulty of the Massachusetts.

Xia Fan climbed to the top floor of the hotel - the number one wing room here was changed to a "defense command post" because of its excellent view. Standing by the window, you can see the situation of the town.

It was about six o'clock at this time, just as the sun set, the red and orange afterglow had dyed half of the sky red. The green mountains that stretched to the end of their eyes were no longer lush, and large shadows were scattered at the foot of the mountain, as if reminding the arrival of night; with the birds returning to their nests in the distance and the sound of insects, everything seemed to be no different from usual.

"Looking at this peaceful and beautiful scenery, sometimes I really feel that I have inferred it wrong." Luo Qingqing was the first to notice Xia Fan's arrival, put down the file in his hand and walked over and said.

He always felt that since his speech that day, the Luo family genius had become much more proactive in his attitude towards him.

"Isn't it better to be wrong? Holding the source of spiritual fire is equivalent to being qualified. Just wait till tomorrow." Xia Fan pretended to be relaxed, "As for this small town - with the power of the Privy Council, we should not be able to compensate for the demolition losses, right?"

The so-called normal does not include the town itself.

After some transformation, the inner circle of Qingshan Town has been connected into one. Compared with ordinary fortresses, it does not even have a "city gate" - the only entry and exit passage is completely blocked after the hunting group completes its last hunt, theoretically eliminating the possibility of the enemy rushing in. Of course, from another perspective, it also cuts off the idea of ​​candidates to escape in the last battle.

The houses in the outer circle have been demolished, which is not an exaggeration to describe them as a mess.

Hearing the statement of compensation for the losses, Luo Qing couldn't help but smile.

"I have to admit that your plan is very good." Fei Nian came with Luo gently. As the leader of the Fei family's children, his attitude towards the left-behind plan was completely different from that of the Fang family. Perhaps because of the dissatisfaction of the other party's stint in the first place to occupy the shaft, or because he wanted to show the strength of the Fei family in front of the invigilator, he not only took the initiative to participate in the defense decision, but also undertaken many garrison tasks. "Although the shaft will limit evil spirits, it will also limit us. Now when placed on the ground, everyone can not only take the lead in taking advantage of the geographical advantage, but also rotate flexibly to attack the strong. In any aspect, it is much better than shrinking underground."

"If you praise me, you can wait until tomorrow," Xia Fan smiled. "I have some experience in arranging everyone to repair something, but leading the team to meet the enemy is not what I am good at. Whether I can successfully last until tomorrow morning depends on the command of the two."

"Don't worry, this is exactly what the Fei family is good at." When Fei Nian was about to say something, a short scream interrupted the conversation between the three.

"Look at the direction of the green mountains!"

This reminder immediately led everyone's eyes out the window.

Xia Fan is no exception.

I saw layers of white mist rising among the mountains at some point, just like the water vapor rising among the woods after heavy rain - but it had no light feeling at all, nor did it reflect the afterglow of dusk, as if it had nothing to do with the world.

As the fog spread, the outline of the green mountains quickly became blurred, followed by the dense forests and mountain roads, thatched huts and streets in the distance.

In just a few quarters of an hour, the center of the town was covered with white space, and even the dilapidated houses that had been demolished hundreds of steps away became faintly visible.
