Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?

Ji Qingzhuo saw that Ying Xiu was knocked against a tree by Qiu Mingxue, and the silver bracelet on his wrist was shining like a shackle.

She frowned slightly, and didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Qiu Mingxue and Ying Xiu were on the way to her class, and she walked over to attract their attention.

So she stepped back a little, but the sound of their conversation continued.

"Princess, the curly stone grass you want grows on the highest and most precipitous cliff in Ze Country. In order to find you the material for making the elixir, many herb pickers have been sent to fall off the cliff. These precious Medicinal materials... are not something Zeguo can afford at all, and now the people in the country have complained..." Yingxiu clutched her sleeves and said in a trembling voice, she was helpless and helpless.

"So what?" Qiu Mingxue raised her eyebrows and said, she still pressed her sleeves, and warned, "This is my country, after the death of the father, his place will be mine, my country I want Whatever you want, the lives and resources of the people in the country are all mine."

"Princess...do you know what will happen when they can't bear it?" Ying Xiu had tears in her eyes, and her tone was helpless.

"Of course I know." Qiu Mingxue threw off her sleeves, "but it has nothing to do with me. I am already a monk, and these mundane things can't be affected. Zeguo is dead, and I can't be a queen. I will continue to work in Xuanyunzong." Cultivation is good."

"Princess..." Ying Xiu looked at her pleadingly.

Qiu Mingxue walked into Ye Duanhong's classroom without looking back, she walked in a very chic way.

Ying Xiu stayed where she was, squatted down against the tree, and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the front, with tears falling from her eyes, she felt extremely desperate.

After a long time, a white handkerchief was handed to her, and her slender hands supported her.

Ying Xiu raised her eyes, and saw Ji Qingzhuo in a blue dress standing in front of her.

It was the first time for Ji Qingzhuo to wear such bright-colored dress, it was vivid and clear, like a flower carved from colored glaze, her expression was light.

Seeing the conversation between Qiu Mingxue and Ying Xiu, she didn't really feel much, but Ying Xiu cried, and she felt that she should hand over a white handkerchief.

"Thank you." Ying Xiu took the white handkerchief and covered her eyes.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't have the concept of an ancient country, and she didn't know why Yingxiu was so devoted to Qiu Mingxue, even though Qiu Mingxue treated her so harshly, she would not leave.

After she handed the white handkerchief to Ying Xiu, she was about to leave. From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word.

Ji Qingzhuo entered the classroom as usual, Ye Duanhong had already been waiting in this small square, he was wearing a black long gown, and his face was stern and serious.

Unlike the day when she and Shen Rongyu went to Shuiyun Peak to investigate Jiang Qianke's situation, Ye Duanhong was also injured by the soul-chasing nail, but she was in much better condition, except that her right hand, which was usually holding books, was injured and replaced with a different one. book in hand.

Seeing Ji Qingzhuo coming in, Ye Duanhong took another look at her, and then saw her gently lift up her dress and sit down, the pale green skirt like petals swinging open, and the gloomy feeling brought by the black and gray attire was swept away.

Ye Duanhong remembered that the last time he saw Ji Qingzhuo, she was still held in Shen Rongyu's arms - how decent it was, she didn't prepare the dress herself, but Shen Rongyu took good care of her.

Soon, Ying Xiu also walked in with his head bowed, and all the disciples in class were present.

Ye Duanhong taught the Water Diversion Jue today, Ji Qingzhuo already knew this spell, and it was Shen Rongyu who taught it by hand.

She listened to the voice of Ye Duanhong teaching, and saw the words in the spell book - "Sensing the surrounding moist water energy, even in places where there is no water, you can draw the surrounding water energy into shape through the water diversion formula."

Shen Rongyu also said this to her, when he held her hand, cold water flowed down, soaking the tulle on his sleeve, and it fell heavily.

His chin rested on the top of her head, and a low voice came from his ear, he asked: "Zhuozhuo, have you learned it yet?"

Ji Qingzhuo shook her head, she didn't know why she always thought of him, she began to think about how she should use the water diversion formula to save mana, so as to reduce the time for Shen Rongyu to wind her up.

When Ye Duanhong gave a lecture, she just calculated on the paper casually, but this time Ye Duanhong passed by her again, saw the complicated data in her pen, and stopped interrupting her.

Instead, the system became curious: "Host, when you first learned the sky control technique last time, you had to use paper and pen to calculate the beacon on the cliff, but later on Baishui Island, I saw you use the space control technique to avoid All the obstacles don’t need to be calculated on paper at all…”

Ji Qingzhuo's ink pen rested on the paper, and after a long time, she sighed softly and said to the system: "System, if I solve a formation and bring me such a fatal disaster, if I don't take the difficult calculation process Write it down, how do you think the people in the sect react?"

"So you can actually do calculations without pen and paper. Are you pretending to write like this?" the system asked curiously.

Ji Qingzhuo twirled the tip of the pen and drew a perfect circle on the paper—this is the pool that Ye Duanhong asked them to fill up with the water diversion formula later. She said to the system, "Yes."

During the class test, Ji Qingzhuo used the water diversion technique to attract pure water, and filled the round pool that Ye Duanhong had prepared, just enough to use up all the mana on his body.

Ye Duanhong set up the class test and also prepared it intentionally. The difficulty of his test is the same as the progress of the practice class. As the disciple's cultivation level improves, the difficulty of the test also increases.

Ji Qingzhuo accepted the fact that her clockwork was loose. She leaned on the white stone beside her and rubbed her forehead. She felt a little dizzy due to the exhaustion of mana.

Ye Duanhong stood beside her, holding the scoring book in her hand, and watched the disciples cast spells to divert water one by one. The design of this pool is very tricky, there are many sensory bubbles floating in the middle, if the water level rises too much Quick, it will burst. When beginners learn spells, it's often not because they don't have enough mana, but because it's difficult to control them finely.

Among all the disciples, Ji Qingzhuo is the only one who can control the water diversion formula exquisitely.

Ye Duanhong glanced at her with low eyes, and noticed that her mana had been used up. He raised his hand casually, and a small wave of spiritual energy flew towards her. As long as Ji Qingzhuo absorbed it, some mana could be recovered.

But when this bit of aura hit her, it was stopped and was not absorbed by her meridians.

All of them's original judgments were not wrong at all, Ji Qingzhuo didn't have any fairy bones, her body was completely sealed, and the outside aura couldn't get in.

However, she has such aptitude for cultivation, how did she reach the second level of Qi Refining?

Ji Qingzhuo still didn't understand what Ye Duanhong did, she only felt a gust of wind blowing towards her, but she didn't feel anything.

"How did you cultivate?" Ye Duanhong's voice was cold and severe, scaring Ji Qingzhuo a lot.

How did she practice... of course it's... this way...

Ji Qingzhuo was taken aback, and she remembered that Shen Rongyu's consciousness was in the same cultivation space as her, and that red air flow completely enveloped her...

She blushed suddenly and lowered her head abruptly.

Ye Duanhong was a little puzzled when she saw the blush flashing across her face, and didn't ask any more questions.

The elders of each class have different ways of calculating the grades of A, B, C, and D. For example, Mu Ying gave A grades regardless of discrimination, while Jiang Qianke and Qu Ting, the elders of the beast control class, gave A grades to students who performed well according to their performance. Duanhong was different, he only gave one person the first grade, because only the disciple who completed the class test perfectly was eligible to get the highest score from him.

Qiu Mingxue was too impatient when diverting water, the air bubbles in the pool were punctured several times, Ying Xiu was absent-minded, and the result was worse than her. Ye Duanhong gave Ji Qingzhuo a first grade in the scoring book.

Before the Yukongshu class, it was Qiu Mingxue who got the first class in the magic class every time. She stood by the pool, looked at Ye Duanhong and then at Ji Qingzhuo.

"Elder Ye, she ran out of mana after casting the water diversion formula. If she was fighting with someone, it would be equivalent to exhausting her after one move. How could you give her back the first rank?" Qiu Mingxue couldn't help protesting.

Ye Duanhong stopped writing the score on the paper, and he raised his eyes, revealing a mean and ruthless thin lips: "Do you know how the monks were massacred after the Huangxie escaped from the Yuanduanlou?"

"Just one sword, one sword kills, there is no need for a second move, people are already dead, so what is the use of the second move?" Ye Duanhong asked Qiu Mingxue, "Desolation is a disaster when cultivating the immortal world. , you should not be born yet, right?"

Qiu Mingxue pointed at Ji Qingzhuo, still unable to swallow his breath, but Ye Duanhong had already waved them away.

When the get out of class was over, Ji Qingzhuo, who had been empty-headed and didn't hear what Qiu Mingxue was saying, immediately jumped up from the white stone she was sitting on, and she packed up and planned to slip away.

Ye Duanhong stopped her: "Ji Qingzhuo, you stay here."

Ji Qingzhuo sighed, she thought that Ye Duanhong was still one of the suspects who wanted to kill her, and now he was detained suddenly, which made her a little nervous.

She was afraid that the system alarm would sound suddenly, if Ye Duanhong killed her here, she would not be able to escape.

Ji Qingzhuo was thinking about her own thoughts, with a dazed expression on her face. Ye Duanhong's cold voice brought her back to reality: "When the water diversion formula ended, how did you deal with it to prevent the excess water from losing control of mana?"

"Ah?" Ji Qingzhuo didn't expect Ye Duanhong to ask her such a question after holding back for so long.

The question asked by the elder had to be answered. She lowered her head and rummaged in her small bag, took out the piece of paper she had calculated just now, and looked at her own calculation process.

"I reduced the output of mana by three points in advance. The reduction in the output of mana is related to the amount of water flow at the beginning. It needs to be adjusted dynamically. This calculation process can be used for calculation." Ji Qingzhuo handed over the paper in his hand Give Ye Duanhong.

The information she wrote on the paper is very organized, Ye Duanhong is also a monk, and she also knows the principles of the use of spells, so she can't even understand such a piece of paper.

He understood it, so he was even more surprised, because Ji Qingzhuo's calculation process can only be described as exquisite and unparalleled. The reduced version of the circular pool and the bubbles in the pool are also accurately scaled down.

Ye Duanhong thinks that he is already an extremely rigorous and cautious person, but Ji Qingzhuo's calculation method is more like some kind of machine than his, calm and precise to the point of terror.

He moved his eyes away from the paper and stared at Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhuo was very nervous, there was nothing wrong with her calculation process, but Ye Duanhong's attitude was very problematic, he was too aggressive, and she was afraid of him.

She stared wide-eyed, her eyes fell on his hand holding the paper, she didn't dare to look at him straightly, there was a faint sparkle in her pupils hidden by her long eyelashes.

Although boring and inconspicuous, she is indeed lively and lovely, not the machine in Ye Duanhong's imagination.

Ye Duanhong handed the paper back to Ji Qingzhuo: "You can go back."

As if being pardoned, Ji Qingzhuo took the paper, turned around and ran away, and finally got out of class.

She stepped on her own flywheel and flew all the way to Elder Qiao Shu's Mingxin Lake to have lunch. Many new disciples have already cultivated to the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining, and they don't need to eat three meals a day, so at noon, Elder Qiao Shu It's a bit deserted here.

Elder Qiao Shu steamed the buns at noon, and a faint smoke wafted from the bamboo house. Seeing the smoke, Ji Qingzhuo's stomach growled with hunger.

She landed on the bamboo corridor, but saw a person standing at the end of the winding corridor, dressed in white, with handsome and gentle eyes, it was Shen Rongyu.

Ji Qingzhuo called him: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu."

Shen Rongyu was looking down at the plants Elder Qiao Shu had just cultivated. When he saw Ji Qingzhuo approaching, he raised his eyes and raised his thin lips slightly: "Zuozhuo, how is your spell class?"

Ji Qingzhuo put her small bag on the table. Seeing that Qiao Shu was still steaming the buns in the kitchen, she was too embarrassed to disturb him, so she walked to a place not far from Shen Rongyu and reported her class situation: "Ye The elder taught the water diversion formula, and I happen to know it already."

Shen Rongyu touched a clump of grass leaves in front of her, and called Ji Qingzhuo over: "Zuozhuo, come and take a look."

Ji Qingzhuo moved over, and she saw that the leaves of grass that Shen Rongyu had touched closed together, this is a very common mimosa.

"Elder Qiao said this plant was interesting, let me take a look, and said that I would definitely like it." Shen Rongyu stroked the leaf veins of the mimosa with her fingers. The plant had already closed its leaves without any reaction.

Seeing that his hands almost closed the leaves of the whole mimosa clump, Ji Qingzhuo tried to dissuade him, "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, the leaves are all closed."

Shen Rongyu held her wrist, and a faint aura was transmitted to her body. When he saw Ji Qingzhuo, he knew that she had run out of mana again.

He held her hand, and led her to touch the blade of grass. By the Mingxin Lake at noon, the lake surface was shimmering, and the shining sunlight illuminated the two figures harmoniously.

The moment Ji Qingzhuo's finger touched the mimosa leaf, she immediately bent up. She didn't want to touch it because the plant would respond to her touch.

When she bent her hand, the leaves of the mimosa immediately closed, and the movements of one person and one plant were surprisingly consistent.

"Zhuozhuo, I just said it looks like you." Shen Rongyu laughed softly.

Ji Qingzhuo was a little ashamed, but she didn't want to show it, because if she showed it, wouldn't it prove that what Shen Rongyu said was true?

She pulled her hand away from Shen Rongyu's palm, and whispered: "I don't look like it."

Ji Qingzhuo lowered his head, turned his back, and ran straight to Elder Qiao Shu's kitchen. The steam from steaming buns in the kitchen blew towards her face, which finally explained why her cheeks were hot.

"Hungry?" Qiao Shu regards cooking as a pleasure. If someone comes to help him, he will not be happy. He takes off the top layer of buns, puts them on the table, and tells Ji Qingzhuo, " Let it cool down before eating."

"Elder Qiao." Ji Qingzhuo wanted to come back for revenge, and directly sued, "Senior brother Xiaoyu touched the whole pot of plants you planted so that the leaves closed."

"That brat—" Elder Qiao wiped his hands on the apron carelessly, and hurried out to check.

Ji Qingzhuo took three steamed buns from the steamer, and they were hot, so she ate them in the room, accompanied by the bitter vegetable soup cooked by Qiao Shu, and she felt very satisfied just eating them.

Shen Rongyu was driven away by Qiao Shu, he had nowhere to go but came to Ji Qingzhuo's side.

Ji Qingzhuo stuffed buns into his mouth, making his cheeks bulge, Shen Rongyu pushed the bitter vegetable soup in the soup cup to her, and touched the edge of the bowl with his bent knuckles.

Qiao Shu brought up a plate of steamed buns and other side dishes. He cooked and ate himself.

"Rong Yu, do you want to eat too?" Elder Qiao Shu asked warmly.

"Okay." Shen Rongyu scooped up a bowl of soup, and the rims of the bowls collided with each other, making a clanging sound.

Ji Qingzhuo felt that the pressure of this meal increased sharply, and she even took longer to chew the buns.

Elder Qiao Shu likes to chatter about things while eating: "You live on Baishui Island. Although I strengthened the protective formation for you, you still have to be careful."

"Didn't you catch that evil breath?" Shen Rongyu asked.

"No." Qiao Shu sighed softly, "Although the erosion has been suppressed, the rest of the party has not been completely wiped out, and Xuanyunzong is not a completely safe place."

They were chatting, Ji Qingzhuo just listened quietly, she didn't understand much anyway.

"The incident that happened ten years ago has not yet been found out who did it." Qiao Shu talked about the old things.

Shen Rongyu didn't ask, but Ji Qingzhuo was both scared and curious, like listening to a horror story, she swallowed the bun in her mouth, and asked curiously: "Elder Qiao, what's the matter?"

"Several disciples who have been in the door for a long time and passed the internal assessment have disappeared." Qiao Shu recalled and replied, "Their cultivation bases are all around the first and second ranks of Jindan, so it's not like they don't have the means to protect themselves, but They just disappeared without a trace, not even their bones were found."

Shen Rongyu lowered her eyes, took a sip of the bitter vegetable soup in the bowl, and did not speak.

"After a thorough investigation in the sect, no one was found who did it. The evil forces against the orthodox sect still exist..." Qiao Shu's tone was helpless, "So Qing Zhuo, they didn't let you enter at the beginning. of."

"Xuanyunzong is not as safe as everyone imagined. Once there is a conflict with some evil sects, Xuanyunzong needs to confront them head-on, and casualties are inevitable. If it is too weak, it will not have the ability to protect itself. Maybe someday Being targeted by villains, you may die in a corner where no one knows." Qiao Shu sighed, "Qing Zhuo, if you feel danger, you can go to Rong Yu."

Shen Rongyu put down the soup spoon and let out a "clang". He replaced Ji Qingzhuo and said, "Okay."

Ji Qingzhuo blinked, she realized that it seemed that it was not absolutely safe in Xuanyunzong.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is an undoubted fact that those who are weak can only be slaughtered by others.

She was a little distressed, and even when she went back, she was a little uneasy.

Shen Rongyu Yujian led her. He noticed Ji Qingzhuo's uneasy mood, and asked, "Zhuozhuo, it's been ten years. Similar things haven't happened again. There's nothing to be afraid of."

—He had a subtext that he didn't say, ten years was enough for him to control the sword under their feet that had killed countless people.

At that time, his cultivation base was exhausted, and the Burial Snow Sword was a little out of control. He killed several Jindan disciples of the Xuanyun Sect in a row. Fortunately, the Burial Snow Sword absorbed and devoured their bones without leaving any traces.

Ji Qingzhuo scratched her hair. To be honest, Elder Qiao Shu's story sounded like a horror story. After listening to it, she had great stamina. She squatted down on the Snow Burial Sword, raised her head and said to Shen Rongyu: "But Elder Qiao said that the bones are gone."

Shen Rongyu: "..." What's so strange about it, being eaten by a sword is as simple as that.

She lowered her head, and many scenes of horror stories flashed through her mind, and the more she thought about it, the colder her back became.

Shen Rongyu looked at her thin back and hugged her: "Didn't Elder Qiao say that if you are afraid, come and find me."

Ji Qingzhuo thinks about it too, no matter how scary those ruined remnants are, they shouldn't be more terrifying than the villain Shen Rongyu.

She was relieved, and took out something from the kit on her waist.

"It's ice spirit fruit." Ji Qingzhuo handed these small crystal clear fruits to Shen Rongyu, sharing the knowledge he learned in the beast control class, "Elder Qu said that Xuanshuang beasts eat this."

She touched the smooth and cold surface of the ice spirit fruit, and suddenly her heart moved.

When Ji Qingzhuo fed Maomao before, he usually ate a bite of carrot for himself and gave Maomao a carrot.

In the beast control class, seeing the Xuanshuang beast eating so happily, she was actually a little moved, but she didn't want to steal the food of the spirit beast in class.

But this time, she bought the Ice Spirit Fruit herself, so she will be fine after taking a bite.

So, she wiped the ice fruit with her sleeve, and asked Shen Rongyu, "Can I eat this?"

It was the first time Shen Rongyu met a person who wanted to compete with spirit beasts for food.

He hadn't tasted the ice spirit fruit either, but he knew that the fruit was not poisonous, and since Ji Qingzhuo wanted to taste it, he couldn't disappoint her.

So he nodded and said, "No poison."

Ji Qingzhuo took a sip and grinned sourly. The fruit was indeed not poisonous, but it was too sour.

She held the ice spirit fruit she had bitten into in her hand, with a painful expression on her face.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't have the habit of wasting food, and it was not easy to eat the Bing Lingguo after taking a bite, so she planned to finish it by herself.

In fact, Shen Rongyu had been observing her all the time, seeing that she was so sore that she could not stop licking her lips with her tongue, but she continued to eat, so she took the Bing Lingguo from her hand.

"Still eating?" He asked, and held the ice fruit a little higher.

Ji Qingzhuo stood on tiptoe, trying to reach, but she was too short.

She was a little anxious: "Brother Xiaoyu, you must not lose it."

"I'll eat it for you." Knowing that Ji Qingzhuo was stubborn, Shen Rongyu said that if he wanted to finish eating, he must finish eating.

"I've eaten this one before. If you want to eat it, I'll bring you a new one." Ji Qingzhuo thought, how could Shen Rongyu be allowed to eat the fruit she had eaten.

But Shen Rongyu had already taken a bite, the ice fruit was very sour, but he remained indifferent, showing no abnormality on his face.

He helped Ji Qingzhuo finish gnawing the ice spirit fruit: "Zuozhuo, is this okay?"

Ji Qingzhuo's mouth is still salivating because of the sourness. She looked at Shen Rongyu's thin lips and couldn't understand how he ate them.

"It's alright..." Ji Qingzhuo murmured.

At this time, the two arrived on Baishui Island, and the protective formation stopped them.

Shen Rongyu signaled Ji Qingzhuo to open it, Ji Qingzhuo thought of the seven-character formula, and Shen Rongyu himself was right in front of her.

She blushed and called out to Shen Rongyu: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, turn around."

"If I turn around, I can't hear it?" Shen Rongyu laughed softly.

"Senior Brother Xiaoyu...you...you think about it..." Ji Qingzhuo stammered and recited the mantra next to Shen Rongyu who turned his back.

The protective formation was activated, and Ji Qingzhuo went to Shen Rongyu's side to feed you, and she brought a lot of ice spirit fruits.

While feeding again and again, the little guy jumped up and down and rushed directly into Ji Qingzhuo's arms.

Shen Rongyu tugged at its hind legs, pulled it out of Ji Qingzhuo's arms, and rolled on the ground again angrily.

Ji Qingzhuo hugged a bunch of ice spirit fruits and began to feed him, while Shen Rongyu sat on the bamboo platform in the center of the pool, and lowered his head to wipe the Buxue Sword in his hand.

When it got a little later, when Ji Qingzhuo had finished feeding, Shen Rongyu suddenly raised her eyes and asked her, "Zhuozhuo, are you practicing now?"
