Chapter 213 Before that, I will kill you first
The high temperature in July is very hot at noon.
The bamboo forest behind Nanyuan becomes cool.
Tianbao sat casually under a bamboo grove, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from all directions, his dark almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of comfort in his expression.
Bai Yu looked around to see if there was anyone around. He fished out a small square of dough from his pocket, unwrapped the sugar coating, and quickly stuffed it into the girl's mouth, showing off proudly, "I hid it secretly. I hope I won't say anything to you, brother?"
"It's all melted." The girl sipped the candy, and the sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue. The end of her eyebrows moved slightly, and in a moment, Bai Yu's mouth was also stuffed with a piece of dough, which was as fresh as if it had just been bought.
"..." The contrast between the two was shocking. "Senior Sister, where are you hiding?"
"I'll tell you if I guess right."
“…”If I can guess it right, do I need you to tell me?
Another gust of cool wind blew, and the girl's hair danced on her cheeks. She leaned back against the bamboo trunk, her almond-shaped eyes slightly closed. "If nothing goes wrong, I'll be able to enter Xindu by the end of the year."
Bai Yu raised his lip, "No accidents will happen."
They first attracted Zhang Sanjin's attention because of the fire in the library. No matter why he noticed them, among the ten newcomers, the brother and sister were the first to catch the library owner's eye.
Later, he rescued his companions from a dispute in the cafeteria, and when Zhang Sanjin heard about it, he left an impression of being smart and clever.
That's why they had a conflict with the fat young master in the bamboo forest later. Compared with the old disciples who had not made any progress in the martial arts school for several years, the martial arts school would naturally choose to favor him and Tianbao, the two newcomers, in order to win people's hearts.
At the time when Guiyi Pavilion was urgently recruiting disciples, Zhang Sanjin would definitely keep the discovered talents and send them to the next stop as long as their backgrounds were clean and there were no doubts.
As for why Butler Ding happened to pass by here this morning...
Bai Yu lowered his eyes and sneered. What did he mean by just happened to pass by? Butler Ding had been hiding in the dark and watching them the whole time.
When they were being chased and beaten by the fat young master and his men, Butler Ding was listening on the other side of the wall.
He took advantage of the situation to smear some green powder on his face to disguise bruises, and played the trick of deceiving others. Even though Butler Ding was very smart, he could not have imagined that someone would dare to play tricks under his nose.
Tilting his head, Bai Yu looked at the quiet and well-behaved girl as she closed her eyes and dozed. He quietly raised his hand and pinched the girl's cheek.
The feel of the human skin mask is really regrettable.
The closed almond-shaped eyes suddenly opened and stared at him quietly, with a hint of murderous intent.
Bai Yu tried to argue, "Jiu'er, the powder on your face got rubbed off a little. I'll put it back on for you."
"You patched the wrong place. I 'injured' my wrist." The girl smiled, clenched her fist, and punched him in the jaw before he could run away.
The fake bruise on the jaw immediately turned into a real bruise.
Bai Yu was in so much pain that tears were about to fall out. He covered his jaw, suppressed his voice and stomped his feet to complain, "Senior Sister, you are so merciless!"
Tian Bao stood up and patted his head like a puppy as he walked. He walked away without looking away. "This time when you were bullied, you felt bad that you couldn't protect yourself and your sister, so you started practicing martial arts. Let's go to the training ground."
This time Bai Yu really ran away.
I can go to the martial arts training ground, but I can’t go with you!
It’s not like I haven’t been beaten enough since I was a child!
By the time the fat young master surnamed Ding finally completed the three-month task of cleaning Nanyuan, it was already autumn.
The year-end selection and assessment is imminent.
The atmosphere in the entire martial arts school began to become tense, and the disciples in the school practiced their skills more diligently every day, hoping to be selected in the upcoming selection.
On a mid-winter night in November, the moon was bright and high in the sky, and the wind was cold and biting.
In the martial arts training ground, two figures were fighting each other with weapons in hand. The sound of weapons clashing was rapid and close, making the atmosphere in the whole field tense.
Only when the figure hidden in the dark outside the field quietly left did the two people in the field stop.
Bai Yu bent over and gasped for breath, his arms dangling in the air as if useless, his thin training clothes soaked with sweat. "Jiu'er, take a break, I can't, I can't hold on any longer, huh, huh——"
Tian Bao picked up the long sword he had dropped and put it back on the weapon rack. Then he turned around and sat down on the steps. "Come here."
"I'm tired and can't move. Those bastards are constantly spying on us. I can't even take a break." Bai Yu sat down on the ground and collapsed on the court. His voice was soft, "Jiu'er, help~"
"..." Tian Bao returned to sit beside him, lowering her eyes to look at the exhausted boy. After a moment, she took out a juicy pear and handed it to him, "Quench your thirst."
Bai Yu lowered his eyes, staring at the pear that was so close to him, and swallowed.
Tianbao, aren’t you worried that I’ll be scared to death by doing this?
He grabbed the pear and ate it, then lay there staring blankly, "Anything else?"
The girl said nothing, and then made a piece of white sugar cake out of nothing in front of him. The taste and texture were exactly the same as the signature snack of Wangque Tower.
Bai Yu took it, chewed, chewed, chewed, his eyes no longer moving. He whispered, "Senior Sister, you're being too careless. Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"
Tian Bao tilted her head, her almond eyes fixed on him quietly, and the corner of her lips curled up, "Who dares to buy me?"
“…What if there is?”
"Don't worry, before that, I will kill you first."
"I'm kidding."
"Oh, I'm serious."
The moonlight above was bright and cool, and as soft as water, falling down and clearly illuminating the curve of the girl's lips, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Bai Yu suddenly started laughing, and his laughter was extremely joyful.
He raised his sore arm, took out a dagger from his arms, pulled the girl's hand over, and placed the dagger in her palm.
"If that day comes, you can kill me at any time."
Tianbao threw the dagger into space with his backhand.
The young man's words fell into his ears like the wind blowing past.
She actually didn't care and wasn't afraid.
Su Jiuni is no longer the little girl who could be bullied by others.
"Don't lie down anymore, go back to the dormitory." She stood up, brushed off the dust on her pants, and kicked the person who was still lying on the ground and refused to move.
Bai Yu's peach blossom eyes opened wide, innocent and pitiful, "I can't move."
The next moment, the boy's eyes blurred and he was pulled up by the girl and carried on her shoulders.
Bai Yu, "..."
Bai Yu, "..."
He jumped down with all his might, his eyes twitching wildly in disbelief, "Jiu'er, brother, do you have any dignity? Are you carrying me like a sack?"
"Will you leave?"
"Walk!"
On the other side, after leaving the martial arts training ground, Butler Ding went to the central garden of the martial arts hall to report.
Zhongyuan is the owner's residence. The light in the east wing of the bedroom is still on, and the man's figure is projected on the stained glass window.
"Master, Shi Yu and Jiu'er, brother and sister, have excellent comprehension of martial arts. In just a few months, their martial arts skills have far surpassed those of their companions recruited at the same time. The same is true of their hard work." Butler Ding stood under the window and whispered.
The man inside the window hummed, "The assessment will be held in five days. They will be grouped with the senior students."
"Directly arrange it? This... should we let them compete with the senior students before the assessment? Otherwise, if they are damaged-"
"No need. If they are killed, it means their skills are inferior to human lives."
"yes!"
