One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 176 Be a cow and a horse for you
"I've come to fulfill my promise."

Qingxue stood in front of Lu Qingfan with firm eyes, without the slightest hesitation.

"unnecessary."

Lu Qingfan waved his hand lightly.

"what?"

Qingxue froze for a moment, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

"Whatever you want to do, I don't need it."

Lu Qingfan became a little impatient, "You go quickly."

Qingxue was silent, she bit her lip, froze there, a little at a loss.

She didn't expect that the other party didn't even give her a chance to speak.

Just refused?

"No!"

Qingxue suddenly yelled, and her emotions became agitated.

"I said that if your talent surpasses that of the Demon God, I will do my best for you. If I said it, I will definitely do it!"

"You can't do anything for me, I don't need a horse like you."

Lu Qingfan shook his head lightly, "That's just your wishful thinking. There are some things that you can't do if you want to."

"I……"

Qingxue was silent again.

There was unwillingness and stubbornness in her eyes.

Unconvinced!
Not convinced by Su Li!

She had figured it out now, it wasn't because Su Li was more talented than her, but because Su Li had the opportunity to be by Lu Qingfan's side.

If it was her, then she could do it, even stronger.

"Let's go."

Lu Qingfan got up and looked at Ali.

"Ah."

Ah Li nodded, turned around and walked in front.

"Wait for me."

Xiaoyue ran to catch up with A Li.

Qingxue looked at the backs of the three going away, tears of grievance rolled in her eyes.

In the end, she still couldn't hold back, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

Her mouth was tightly closed, trying not to let herself make a sound.

Silent crying is the most distressing.

"Okay, stop crying."

Suddenly, a warm voice sounded, and a handkerchief was handed to Qingxue.

Qingxue raised her head in astonishment, only to see that her elder brother had arrived at some point and was standing beside her.

"elder brother!"

Qingxue had a sore nose and cried even harder.

"Then cry hard."

Qing Chuan patted his younger sister lightly. He hadn't left just now and just sat behind.

But my sister's attention was all on Lu Qingfan, she didn't see him at all, and no one else noticed him.

"Woooooooo..."

Qingxue finally cried out, and the voice became louder and louder.

After this incident, she seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.

Troubles followed.

……

……

Xiaoyue and A Li walked in front, and Lu Qingfan followed behind them.

The three of them left the martial arts arena, walked through a forest, passed a lake, passed several gardens, and came to a mountain.

There is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and there is a small river outside the forest. There is a small building beside the river, with a large yard outside.

"It's here."

Xiaoyue pushed open the courtyard door and led Lu Qingfan and A Li into the courtyard.

There are flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, and there is green everywhere.

The small building has three floors and many rooms.

"I will arrange a few people to take care of your daily life, and you can practice with peace of mind every day."

Xiaoyue led the two of them into the small building.

"Need not."

Ah Li waved his hand, "You don't need to arrange someone, and I won't need them when they come."

"what?"

Xiaoyue was a little surprised, "What are you going to do with your meal?"

"I'll do it."

A Li pointed to Lu Qingfan, "During this time, I have been taking care of him."

"Oh."

Xiaoyue understood a little bit. At this moment, she suddenly understood what Qingxue did before.

If there is a chance, she can quickly improve her strength, but she has to stay by Lu Qingfan's side and take care of Lu Qingfan's life.

Will she?
Xiaoyue was surprised to find that she hesitated, a little undecided.

Maybe she would?

"Just so I have something to tell you."

A Li said: "Lu Qingfan will live here with me."

"This is of course no problem."

Xiaoyue nodded.

"Not only here, but also Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave, Golden Wild Goose Pagoda, Shengquan Mountain, Zangshu Pavilion, and even Lingmai."

A Li continued: "As long as I can go, I will take Lu Qingfan with me."

"what?"

Xiaoyue was shocked, "I can't decide this matter, I have to ask the dean, or you wait for me for a while, and I will ask now."

"No rush, you can ask anytime."

A Li said: "I just remembered, otherwise I would have asked the dean directly."

"I'll still go."

Xiaoyue turned around and left while talking.

However, before she could go out, she heard a voice in the yard.

"No, I'm here."

Zhuang Yu walked in with a smile on his face.

"Dean?"

Xiaoyue looked at Zhuang Yu in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to deliver something."

Zhuang Yu came to a table and said with a smile, "This is Su Li's reward."

"Oh."

Xiaoyue understood.

Sixth-grade spirit stones, various high-grade spiritual herbs, sixth-grade pills, high-grade beast pills, and even several high-grade spiritual weapons.

These things quickly piled up like a hill.

"Su Li, put it away quickly."

"it is good."

A Li put away these things and asked, "Principal, I want to take Lu Qingfan with me when I am practicing, is it okay?"

"Of course not according to the rules, but there are exceptions to everything."

Zhuang Yu smiled, "With Mr. Lu's strength and status, we can certainly make an exception for him, but I have a small condition."

"Dean, tell me."

Ah Li was a little surprised by Zhuang Yu's attitude. She originally thought it would be difficult, but she didn't expect Zhuang Yu to be so happy.

"I just hope that Mr. Lu promises that no matter what happens in the future, he will not harm the Imperial Capital College."

Zhuang Yu suddenly sighed, "After all, this is just a place for cultivation, and I never take part in any fights, nor will I go against any forces."

"As long as you can guarantee that Imperial Capital College will not participate in any disputes, will not join any forces, and can always maintain its original aspirations, educate people to become talents, and stand aloof from others, then I can naturally promise you."

When Lu Qingfan said this, he glanced at Zhuang Yu, "But if you can't do it, don't blame me for breaking my promise in the future."

"Don't worry sir, I promise to do it!"

Zhuang Yu made a swearing guarantee.At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he found out the identities of Lu Qingfan and Su Li, Zhuang Yu's heart was always in suspense, and he even had a bad premonition.

The entire empire may undergo earth-shaking changes because of the arrival of these two people.

Even, all the extraordinary of the Protoss may be involved.

When that time comes, where will Imperial Capital Academy go?
Zhuang Yu wasn't worried that the protoss would be unfavorable to Imperial College, he was only worried about Lu Qingfan.

That's why he tried every means to get Lu Qingfan to agree.

Even if it makes an exception for Lu Qingfan, it's worth it.

"That's fine."

Lu Qingfan nodded and said nothing more.

Zhuang Yu turned his gaze to Ah Li, "Su Li, when are you going to enter the spiritual vein?"

"Just tomorrow."

Ah Li had already thought about it, "I want to go and have a look soon."

"That's fine."

Zhuang Yu winked at Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, let's go."

"Oh."

Xiaoyue understood, and left with Zhuang Yu.

On the road.

Zhuang Yu instructed: "Xiaoyue, you are still here tomorrow, and bring Lu Qingfan and Su Li to Lingmai."

"Ah."

"Also, if necessary, you can take the two of them to visit other places in the academy. In short, I will leave this task to you. Try to make Lu Qingfan's Su Li stay in the academy as happy as possible. Don't let them feel any hostility."

"clear."

"Only you can do this well. I'm really worried about leaving it to others."

……

……

Early the next morning.

Xiaoyue came to the residence of Lu Qingfan and A Li, and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Ah Li and Lu Qingfan had already had breakfast and were sitting on the first floor drinking tea.

"smell good."

As soon as Xiaoyue entered the door, she could smell the fragrance of tea.

"Come and sit."

Ah Li poured Xiaoyue a cup of tea.

"it is good."

Xiaoyue picked up the teacup, took a sip, her eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"It's delicious!"

"What exactly is a spirit vein?"

Ah Li was curious and couldn't help asking.

"In fact, it is a place with a lot of aura."

Xiaoyue said: "Cultivating in there can quickly absorb those spiritual energy, greatly improving our cultivation speed."

"That's right."

Ah Li somewhat understood.

"Well, you'll know when you see it."

Xiaoyue finished the cup of tea quickly, stood up, and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan and A Li stood up together.

The three of them left the small courtyard and walked along a path at the foot of the mountain.

There is a cave not far ahead, which is more than ten feet wide and more than two feet high.

Yaxiu stood at the entrance of the cave, seemingly waiting for the three of them.

"gentlemen."

Xiaoyue stepped forward and greeted Yaxiu.

"Well, you take them in."

Yaxiu nodded, then smiled at Ah Li and Lu Qingfan.

"it is good."

Xiaoyue walked in front, followed by Lu Qingfan and A Li. The three entered the cave and walked slowly.

As the terrain gets lower, the light inside gets dimmer.

Going forward for a while, suddenly a light appeared in front of him.

Every time there is a certain distance, there will be a night pearl inlaid on the stone wall, and the white light will be connected into one piece, illuminating the entire passage.

A series of stone steps appeared in front of it, which was downward.

The three of them walked down the stone steps, and they were greeted with spiritual energy several times stronger than that of the outside world.

After the stone steps, there is a flat land.

After the flat ground is another series of stone steps.

So back and forth, I don't know how long they walked, and they finally came to the end.

There is a stone chamber built here.

"That's it."

Xiaoyue took Lu Qingfan and A Li into the stone room, and saw a few cushions made of jade in the room.

"This is the place with the strongest aura in the entire cave, you can just practice here."

"Ah."

Ah Li and Lu Qingfan felt it, and it was true.

The aura here is more than a hundred times that of the outside world, and it must be very effective to practice here.

"It's just that so much spiritual energy has been accumulated over a long period of time."

Xiaoyue said: "For the past two months, this place has been closed, and no one has been allowed to come in to practice. It is to accumulate more spiritual energy, so that the students who won the first place this year can benefit to the greatest extent after entering .”

"Oh."

Ah Li understood.

"Seven days, the aura here is enough for you to practice."

Xiaoyue looked at A Li enviously, "I also won the first place back then, but I was only given one day alone."

"In the future, there will be no such opportunities. Students must apply in advance, and they can only enter here after they are approved."

Xiaoyue continued: "Every time I come here, it is full of people, and the effect of cultivation is much worse."

"So it is."

Ah Li thought so too, there are hundreds of students in the academy, it is impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to practice here alone.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you guys start practicing."

While talking, Xiaoyue left the stone room.

"Ah."

A Li and Lu Qingfan each found a cushion, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to meditate.

Feeling the abundant aura around him, Lu Qingfan suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and summoned his Dao Xinjue.

The spiritual energy surged into Lu Qingfan's body frantically, and was quickly absorbed by Lu Qingfan, transforming into the spiritual power in his body.

"what?"

Lu Qingfan was a little surprised, he didn't expect the effect of practice to be surprisingly good.

But where do these auras come from?
With such doubts, Lu Qingfan opened his eyes and began to search.

Soon he found a crack, just under the stone wall.

The crack is so small that you can't even put your hand through it.

These stones are hard, and they are connected as a whole. The crack seems to be artificially opened, leaving only such a large gap on purpose.

The rich spiritual energy slowly floated up along the gap.

"It turned out to be underground."

Lu Qingfan found the source of the spiritual energy, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, he put his hand on the gap, and summoned Dao Xinjue.

The majestic spiritual energy rushed towards him in an instant, along the palm of his hand, and entered his body.

After a while, he gained greater benefits than before.

"That's not bad!"

Lu Qingfan found a way, which was better than absorbing the aura in the cave before.

Moreover, this will not affect Ah Li.

He simply moved the cushion over, sat facing the stone wall, put his hands together on the gap, and exercised Dao Xinjue.

"boom!"

The violent spiritual energy entered his body along his palms, and quickly transformed into spiritual power, entering the dantian.

His strength is growing rapidly.

At the same time, Ah Li was also rapidly absorbing the aura in the cave.

The two began to retreat and practice.

Before I knew it, seven days had passed.

Lu Qingfan opened his eyes and felt the spiritual power in his body.

Significant growth.

In just seven days, his strength has increased by [-]%, which surprised him very much.

However, this effect is already the greatest.

Even if he stays here any longer, the effect of his cultivation will be negligible.

Because the aura in the gap has become much weaker, it may take a while to recover.

At this time, Ali also opened his eyes.She felt the spiritual power in her body, and surprise appeared in her eyes.

Her strength has also been greatly improved.

Originally at the pinnacle of the Ninth Rank, she seemed to be able to break through and advance at any time and become an extraordinary powerhouse.

Even, what she lacks now is neither strength nor realm.

It's a small opportunity, or a little insight.

Just one small step away, she could become extraordinary, which made her extremely happy.

"how do you feel?"

Lu Qingfan could easily perceive Ah Li's current state.

"very good."

Ah Li smiled and nodded, "What about you?"

"I am fine too."

Lu Qingfan was also in a very good mood at this time, sighing in his heart, this time the Imperial Capital Academy really came to the right place.

I just don't know, where else is there such a spiritual vein?

Looks like I'll have to pay attention in the future.

"Okay, since that's the case, shall we go out?"

Ai stood up.

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan also got up, and the two walked out of the stone room and walked slowly outside the cave.

The two went out of the cave, only to see Xiaoyue guarding outside.

"All right?"

Xiaoyue looked at the two with envy again.

"Well, let's go."

A Li nodded at Xiaoyue, "Are you waiting for us here on purpose?"

"Yes."

Xiaoyue said: "The dean asked me to wait for you here, and ask where you want to go next? I will take you there."

"Not urgent."

Ah Li glanced at Lu Qingfan and confirmed his thoughts, "We want to go back for a day, let's talk tomorrow."

"Okay then, I'll go back with you."

The three of them walked back together and soon came to Ali's residence.

There was a person standing at the door, she looked a little anxious, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were anxious.

It's a dragon dance.

Soon, she saw A Li and the other three, and her expressions immediately changed.

"You are back."

Long Wu greeted him.

"How did you come?"

Ali is a little strange.

"Is such that."

Long Wu approached with a smile and said: "I came here on purpose, please come to my house as a guest."

"You ask him."

A Li pushed it to Lu Qingfan.

"it is good."

Long Wu turned his gaze to Lu Qingfan, with a wider smile on his face, "Mr. Lu, please do me a favor and sit at my house for a while, I will definitely give you the best hospitality."

"What's up?"

Lu Qingfan asked a question.

"It's okay, I just want to make friends with you and Su Li. Let's sit together, have a meal, drink, and talk."

Long Wu smiled and said, "It won't delay you for too long."

"Let's forget it, I don't like socializing, and I don't like making friends."

Lu Qingfan refused without thinking about it.

"That's it."

Long Wu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he was not too surprised. He still had a smile on his face, "Well, it seems that my sincerity is not enough. If you don't want to come, I dare not force you. Then I will go to your house boldly. Sit down, can you?"

"casual."

Lu Qingfan turned his gaze to Ali, "Ask her."

"come in."

Ah Li opened the door and glanced at Long Wu.

"it is good."

Long Wu entered the courtyard with a smile.

"Xiaoyue, if you have nothing else to do, come in and sit down."

A Li sent another invitation to Xiaoyue.

"Okay."

Xiaoyue nodded happily.

Now that she has figured it out, she must run more this way in the future.

Although she didn't have the chance to live with Lu Qingfan, it would be good if she had the chance to be closer to Lu Qingfan.

Feeling every move of an extraordinary person at close range may benefit her a lot.

Several people entered the room and sat down.

Ah Li made a pot of tea and poured it for several people.

“This place is nice.”

Long Wu looked around and looked at A Li with a smile, "Su Li, I just found out that you are the saintess of the saint clan, and you are also the granddaughter of Mr. Su, the only ninth-rank alchemist in our god clan."

"Oh?"

A Li was a little surprised, "You also know my grandfather?"

"Elder Su's name is known to almost everyone in our empire."

Long Wu shook his head regretfully, "It's just a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet the old man in person."

"Since you have heard of my grandfather, do you know who killed my grandfather?"

Ah Li asked suddenly, which made Long Wu's face change.

"How could I possibly know?"

Long Wu quickly regained her composure, and forced a smile, "I was still young at that time, and I didn't have the ability to investigate this matter."

"Then would you like to do me a favor?"

Ali then asked.

"Ok?"

Long Wu's face changed again, and he nodded subconsciously, "Say it."

A Li stared into Long Wu's eyes and said, "Help me catch the real culprit who killed my grandfather!"

"If the real culprit is found, I will naturally help you!"

Long Wu nodded without hesitation.

"I know who the real culprit is."

After Ah Li finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"What? You know?"

Long Wu was shocked and asked: "Tell me quickly, who is it?"

"Jin Mu and Long Yun!"

A Li didn't hide anything, he just said it out.

"What? It turned out to be these two extraordinary people?"

Long Wu was so startled that he almost stood up, "Do you have evidence?"

Ah Li shook his head, "No, but I'm sure it's them!"

"Then what are you going to do?"

Long Wu stared blankly at A Li, "Those are two extraordinary people!"

"What else can I do? Revenge!"

Ah Li snorted coldly, "I don't care if he is extraordinary or what? When the day I have the ability to kill them, I will strike without hesitation."

"That's not an easy task."

Long Wu glanced at Lu Qingfan suddenly, "However, you can ask Mr. Lu to help you."

"It's natural."

Ah Li nodded and told the truth, "Without him, I wouldn't dare to come back."

"Oh! I didn't expect that two extraordinary people would be involved."

Long Wu sighed, "If this matter is not handled properly, the entire empire may be affected."

"That's not my concern. I only care about revenge."

A Li raised his head and looked at Long Wu, "You said you would help me just now, does that still count?"

"Of course!"

Long Wu didn't hesitate at all, "Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

"Help me find out the whereabouts of Jin Mu and Long Yun."

A Li said: "I have been to the residence of these two people, but I couldn't find them. You are the princess of the empire, and you can use countless subordinates. If you are willing to help me, you will be able to find them."

"Okay, no problem, I'll go back and arrange for people to find the whereabouts of these two people."

Long Wu stood up while talking, "When I have news, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."

"Really?"

A Li was a little surprised, her eyes were full of surprises, she originally just said it casually, but unexpectedly, she had an unexpected harvest.

"Of course, you friend, I've made up my mind."

Long Wu smiled and said: "This matter, let's regard it as the first thing I do for your friend."

"Thank you!"

A Li also stood up, "I'll see you off."

"Need not."

Long Wu waved his hand, "Don't give it away, it won't be too late for you to thank me when I bring news next time."

"That's fine, I'll wait for your good news."

Ah Li stood where he was, watching Long Wu leave.
