He hurried down the mountain. This time the mountain road was very straight, leading directly to the foot of the mountain. Xia Xiao had just arrived at the bottom of the Qingwa Building, and he grabbed a girl who was returning late, and asked her to go to Room 303 and call Shu Shuang. But before she could leave, Shu Shuang, who was wearing a nightgown, had already trotted over. With her long hair draped over her, and with the familiar scent of her hair, Xia Xiao ran to him and threw herself into his arms.

Shu Shuang could feel Xia Xiao's excitement. She looked into the latter's eyes, which contained stars behind the clouds.

"Have we reached the mountainside?"

Shu Shuang also became excited, she knew that Xia Xiao wanted to go up the mountain. The eager fire in her heart had never been extinguished by time and the number of failures.

Even though everyone was gathered on the first floor, Xia Xiao still put his arm around Shu Shuang's soft waist and started to spin around. He didn't hold back his emotions, and his face was full of smiles. He had gone up the mountain hundreds of times. He went up the mountain when he woke up in the morning. He went up the mountain to digest the knowledge after class. He went up the mountain when it was too hot in the afternoon. He went up the mountain to digest the food after dinner. He went up the mountain when he couldn't sleep at night.

I don't know when climbing the mountain became not a challenge or a way to prove myself, but a kind of walk. But now, he finally succeeded.

Ah Zhu, holding Doudou and wearing loose pajamas, squeezed to the front of the crowd. Seeing Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's white foreheads touching, he asked without caring about the mood:

"Successful?"

As the first person to walk up the mountainside, Ah Zhu did not experience the hardship. Everyone had been walking in circles in the peach forest, but she was self-taught and could come and go freely after running a few times, just like walking on an ordinary mountain road in a mountain village. To be honest, she didn't know why everyone couldn't go up the mountain, there was only one road.

Seeing her coming, Xia Xiao let go of Shu Shuang's hand, causing the latter to look back at Ah Zhu with some confusion in her eyes. Why did Ah Zhu come to join in the fun? This had nothing to do with her. Even though most people in the academy accepted this special existence, Shu Shuang still didn't like it. It was fine if they didn't socialize with each other at ordinary times, so why break this sweet time?

"Thanks for the advice."

Xia Xiao bowed, which was why he let go of Shu Shuang's little hand.

“Is the road straight?”

"It's not straight. There's a peach tree in the way, but I cut it off."

"Then we are not walking the same path."

Only Xia Xiao and Azhu understood their conversation, but there was no profound truth in it, only a straight mountain road. Everyone listened and felt frustrated. The distance between them and Xia Xiao and Azhu was getting farther and farther, but when did it become so far? They themselves could not understand what they were saying.

This kind of frustration and loneliness is most obvious on Shu Shuang's fair face. She doesn't care about the mountain road or the mountainside, she only cares about Xia Xiao. Shu Shuang has always known Xia Xiao best. She knows everything about Xia Xiao. If others want to know, they have to go through her. She and Xia Xiao are like tied together. In some cases, she is Xia Xiao. Many people think that Xia Xiao is also Shu Shuang, and she herself has thought so. But now it seems that Xia Xiao is not her, because there is Ah Zhu between them.

What guidance, straight road, Shu Shuang had never heard of it. When did Xia Xiao start hiding things from her? She looked at Xia Xiao, who was staring at Ah Zhu very intently, as if there was no one else around.

"I'm afraid it's the same one, but because the talisman array you cast is different, there are some minor changes."

“That makes sense.”

In fact, Ah Zhu didn't know much about talisman arrays, and had never even seen one. But after attending classes for a long time, she would habitually say things like that which made sense, even though she actually knew nothing.

Scratching her chestnut hair, Ah Zhu's hair was a little messy, but also more casual. When she raised her hand, she was even more exposed. In the evening, no one was wearing much. Both men and women were attracted to her, but when everyone's eyes turned, they saw a face that they hadn't seen for a long time, but it was not unfamiliar.

Beside Qin Feng and Mu Lin, Tianming was sturdy and had black marks on his face like dragon claws, like a kind of representative, which was once imitated by the rough Goulongbang clan and Shelie people, who thought it was in line with the strong temperament of men. But since the war in the Wild Beast Forest, they have abolished this behavior because of resentment and shame! Humans and beasts really cannot coexist.

It has been a week since the end of the war, and Tianming and the nine wild beasts have never appeared. Even now, there is no trace of the Ice Phoenix Dusk Crow, only Tianming has appeared. He has been in the dormitory all this time, not because he is ashamed to be seen, but because he is looking for his own answers. He is rolling in dreams and reality, like wandering back and forth between the mud and the shore. If the current incident was not related to Xia Xiao, he probably would not have walked out of the dormitory door.

The higher the level of the wild beast, the less likely it is to dream, but once there is a dream, it is a very strong understanding. Tianming has had many dreams recently, and even forgot about the war some time ago, but the strange looks from everyone made him remember it quickly.

From an objective point of view, this war killed millions of people, including their families and friends. For this reason, several countries gnashed their teeth and wanted to grab Tianming's collar and punch him hard. It would be even more powerful if they could kick him a few times, but his strength was too strong, and these things were only imaginary!

After glancing around a few times, Tianming remained unmoved. The academy hadn't said anything to him, but these guys were meddling in other people's business!

"Your Highness Black Dragon, long time no see!"

The Southern Merchant did not hide his anger. Wang Ling stood in front of him, looking at Tianming with burning eyes. In this battle, his Southern Merchant suffered the most. But Tianming was strong and had a close relationship with Xia Xiao. He could not speak, but that did not mean he would turn a blind eye.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?"

"Your Highness has learned the art of speaking very well, but have you learned human humor and language and are now hurting humans?"

Chang Renjie, as the prince of Tianmeng, still had a bandage on his arm. The previous battle was too brutal. The second wave of the wild beasts covered the sky, which was simply a nightmare. He proposed the war without regard for the feelings, and more people stood up. Nanshang was full of anger, and Gou Longbang stood silently on the side, ready to fight if they disagreed. In comparison, Daxia was much quieter.

As soon as Si Qingling and Su Huan raised their hands, the people of Daxia dared not speak or attack at will. They all knew that Xia Xiao would definitely not sit idly by and watch Tianming being targeted like this.

The atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor changed. Ah Zhu didn't understand what the swords and crossbows were about to do, so he stood beside Long Li and asked her, unconsciously becoming a member of the Gou Longbang clan. Although he wouldn't take action now, he couldn't help but mock and force an apology. Ah Zhu's small position contained too much information, and even made many onlookers smack their lips.

He rubbed his hands hidden in his wide sleeves. As the young president of the Adventurer's Guild, Long Suihong was the best at weighing the pros and cons. But Ah Zhu, who had talked so happily with Xia Xiao before, now stood on the side of Gou Longbang. What did this mean? In other words, Ah Zhu and Xia Xiao didn't seem to have much in common.

In the world, human beings have the most complicated thoughts, they can trap themselves, deceive others, and even create new things. This must be the main reason why humans replaced the dominant position of wild beasts, but Ah Zhu didn't understand, even if Long Li explained it to her in plain language. It wasn't the man in front of her who killed her, why did she ask him to apologize?

If everyone had the same awakening as Ah Zhu on these issues, the world would probably be very peaceful, but it would certainly be very boring. And she was stupid, not very wise. Ah Zhu was not Shu Shuang, how could she possibly understand everything?

"These are all taught by me. If you have any questions, come to me."

Even though Shu Shuang was angry, she still stood behind Xia Xiao. It was okay to have small conflicts within the group, but when facing outsiders, one had to align their antagonisms.

"Xia Xiao, this is none of your business!"

Chang Renjie and Xia Xiao were in the same class and had been together for half a year. Although they were no longer angry at first, they would not let Xia Xiao take the spotlight. Now was not the time to give him an award and say he was a great teacher!

Today was supposed to be a happy day, but now it is not a happy day. Walking forward, Xia Xiao's hand fell on Chang Renjie's shoulder. Although his voice was light and a little slow, it was clearly heard by everyone.

"If you really have the strength, why not fight back to the Great Forest? Why are you so aggressive here?"

"That's right! He never hurt you!"

The princes of Shelienan are all typical snobs, but Qin Feng and Mu Lin will not hold back when it comes to taking action. If they keep silent now, will they just watch Tianming being bullied like this? This is not their style.

These few people shocked the whole audience. The royal family of Gou Longbang looked at Ah Zhu, hoping that she would say something. Long Li also poked her and reminded her:

"Azhu, it's up to you."

Long Li usually takes good care of Ah Zhu, first because of her status, and second because Ah Zhu is too young, like a little sister. But what will she say? Everyone is looking forward to it, and the real winner is still Ah Zhu. Her status is the highest now. The academy does not care about the status of the outside world, but there are also steps inside. Just like the mountain road in the peach forest, one layer after another, the farther you go, the stronger your talent.

Is she going against me again? Fortunately, they are not friends, otherwise Xia Xiao would definitely have a headache, but the disgust in Shu Shuang's eyes is much heavier than his.

"Um……"

Ah Zhu, holding Doudou, kept looking around. This feeling of being the center of attention made her a little uncomfortable. Except in Longgang, she had never seen so many people of her age. Even in Longgang, she had never seen so many practitioners. She timidly held Doudou in front of her and said softly:

"Good night."

Long Li sighed, but it was expected. Ah Zhu smiled apologetically, squeezed through the crowd, and ran up to the fifth floor, not forgetting to feel secretly happy. He was really smart, and he resolved this matter perfectly!

This answer was a bit strange. Xia Xiao smiled slightly after hearing it, thinking that Ah Zhu was really wise. But good night is good night, it's time to go to bed.

After turning back and hastily saying goodnight to Shu Shuang, Xia Xiao and Tian Ming walked straight towards the "218" dormitory. No one stopped them on the way, and everyone left. They had good eyesight and knew that it would be stupid to make a fuss.

Standing there, Shu Shuang's smile was bitter. Was it an illusion? Shu Shuang always felt that Xia Xiao was colder to her than before, but he had smiled because of Ah Zhu before. Even that slight smile, without showing any teeth, made Shu Shuang jealous. Her vinegar bottle was overturned, and the sourness soaked her whole body.
