Originally, today's conversation wasn't about her, but Xue Ni still cared about Lil's words.

"A bit more imposing. Was I like that before?"

Lil's words were relatively tactful, after all, he was so hostile to her before, and what she said was not wrong.

But Xueni still felt strange, but she couldn't say why.

Logically speaking, it should be pretty good for me to get along with them like this now.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Xue Ni comforted herself.

After taking a bath, the comfort on her body made Xue Ni stop thinking about it, and now the main thing is to deal with the assessment.

Sitting on the bed, Xue Ni originally wanted to lie down directly, but found that it was still early, so she gave up the idea.

Thinking that there was nothing to do, Xue Ni pulled out the drawer of the bedside cabinet and took out the drawing book that was put in this morning.

"Let's kill some time with this."

Xue Ni can generally remember the contents of this picture book, especially some plots that he cares about, and he can still recall them up to now.

Sometimes Xueni is very concerned about who found these stories and collected them.

But there is no signature on the painting book, so it is unknown.

After flipping through it casually, she found a story, and Xue Ni read it with interest.

It is only at this time that my usual wild thoughts will be suppressed.

Like a lake disturbed by a breeze, it returns to calm again.

It's just that there are very few lakes that are always calm, because as long as it is placed in the outside world, something may disturb its water at any time.

Just when Xueni finished reading a story and was about to cover the picture book and put it back.

A small piece of bookmark slipped out from the page.

"Eh, what is this?"

Xue Ni picked up the bookmark and looked at the snowflake pattern on it carefully.

"I bought this thing?"

When I was flipping the pages of the book just now, I did occasionally feel something strange under the pages.

I thought it was just a normal situation where the picture book had been placed for too long.

But I didn't expect this thing to fall out.

"It seems to be quite new."

Like this picture book, this bookmark has no traces left by time, and it feels like it has just been bought.

The more she looked at the bookmark, the more Xue Ni felt that something was wrong, and finally got up and walked out of the room, just in time to run into the maid walking through the corridor.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Looking at Xueni's appearance, the maid asked.

"Has anyone been in my room today?"

"After you went out in the morning, I went in and helped you make your bed. The others didn't go in."

Taking care of Xueni's room is one of her daily tasks.

This was all done when Xue Ni was not in the room, otherwise, it would be easy to disturb her.

"Then have you seen this?" Xue Ni showed the bookmark to the maid, and noticed the change of expression on her face.

After looking at the bookmark, the maid just shook her head blankly.

Without special permission, none of them can flip through other things in the room, so they have never seen such small objects.

"Miss, is there anything strange?"

This inexplicable question made the maid realize that Xue Ni seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing that the maid's expression didn't dodge in any way, Xue Ni said, "It's nothing, just asking casually."

"Okay, miss, if you have anything to do later, please call me again."

Xue Ni retreated to the room, looked at the bookmark in her hand, and scratched her head incomprehension.

"Could it be that after I bought it myself, I forgot it?"

In the end, Xue Ni could only use this reason to explain.

If I didn't buy it by myself, and no one has entered my room, then it seems to be saying that this bookmark appeared out of thin air, which is too weird.

And I should be the only one who knows about the existence of this picture book.

"Maybe I've been too tight lately."

Xue Ni exhaled, just now she calmed down, and almost became like that again.

It's just a bookmark, and it's not a big deal. It's too abnormal to care too much about it.

Thinking of this, Xue Ni laughed at herself helplessly.

Xue Ni clipped the bookmark back and put the picture book back into the drawer.

Then Xueni went to bed and put an end to the day.

In the next few days, no matter who it was, it was obvious that the entire academy was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.

As if a storm was coming, everyone began to fully arm themselves in order to deal with it.

Even Xue Ni, Li Er and Feimo were somewhat affected.

After the rest period before the assessment, each of them was slightly relieved.

The three of them were walking on the street, and Fei Mo kept clasping his hands together, as if he was grabbing something.

"My brother recently asked me to reduce the time I spend holding the sword." Fei Mo looked a little disappointed.

"What's going on?" Lil asked.

Gemos is also a very strict person towards Filmer, and it is quite rare to say such a thing.

"Because he found that when I was practicing swordsmanship recently, some of my movements became strange, but I have obviously practiced it many times."

Fei Mo couldn't understand, when she practiced before, Gomos never said that her movements were strange, but recently she just practiced a few more times, and Gomos started to correct herself.

On the other hand, Lil and Xueni looked at each other, and they both understood what was going on.

In the atmosphere at the academy lately, not only Filmer, everyone has been weird, even the two of them.

It is estimated that in normal times, Fimer would not practice with such high intensity at all.

Even if something goes wrong during practice, she should be able to react immediately.

But now, with tension and physical exhaustion, when some problems that did not appear on weekdays appear, it is impossible to pay attention in time, so in high-intensity practice, this problem may be frozen and cover up the previous ones Behavior, even slowly enlarged.

This is why Fimer was told by Gemos that her movements became strange.

When this happens, appropriate relaxation may be the right choice.

"Okay, don't think about that for today. When the day of assessment comes, there will naturally be things you should worry about. Let's forget about it for now."

Li'er pressed Fimer's hand down, and if she kept making gestures like this, she would probably have to find her sword later.

respective places

The three girls walked on the street, like butterflies in the season when the flowers were not blooming, adding a few touches of stunning color to the monotonous nursery.

Seeing the appearance of Xueni, Lil and Fei Mo, many people on the street looked sideways.

I do care, but just by looking at their clothes, you can roughly tell that the three of them are descendants of nobles.

Although I see them on weekdays, I rarely see them walking on the streets like this. After all, I spend most of my time watching them get off the carriage and then get on again.

As for why there is no one else following them, only they know.

"Is there anywhere you want to go?" Lil asked the two of them.

The strange thing is that Xue Ni and Fei Mo obviously didn't even look at each other to exchange opinions, but they shook their heads in unison.

"Ah?" Lil looked at the two of them in surprise, "Then what do you do when you are free?"

"If you have free time, stay at home." Fimer said.

Xue Ni paused, and replied in the same way, "...stay at home."

The words are said like this, but Xueni still feels that something is missing.

Hearing the two answers, Lil smiled wryly.

The personalities of Xueni and Fei Mo can be said to be completely opposite, but why do they have so much in common in normal times.

Could it be that she is actually the strange one?

Pressing her forehead, Lil suggested, "Why don't you listen to me today?"

Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Lil took the two of them to a pastry shop.

"Miss Lil, why are you free to come here today?"

Obviously, Li'er is a regular customer here, and the store manager came over to say hello as soon as she entered the door.

"Follow two friends and come out to play." Lil said as he looked at the things in the window.

"Oh." The pastry shop manager also noticed the two people next to Lil, and his movements became cautious.

Of course, she knew Lil's identity, but the two people beside Lil couldn't recognize her now.

But even so, judging by the way they get along with Lil, they are not something they can afford to provoke.

After choosing pastries for the two who were a little confused, Lil took the two of them to find a seat by the window and sat down.

Xue Ni was fine, she just looked around a little, then sat there quietly, looking out at the street.

After Fimer sat down, he raised his head and didn't stop. He was like a puppy brought to a new environment, constantly observing the surroundings.

Lil rested her chin and looked at the two of them, "Wouldn't it be the first time for you to come to this kind of place?"

"Yeah." Fisher nodded.

"I should not be the first time."

This time, Xueni's answer was slightly different, but the uncertainty in her tone and the feeling of being lost made people feel very concerned.

Lil could only think that Xueni should be a little nervous about the evaluation now.

"By the way, have you ever thought about what you will do after this incident is over?"

It might be a bit premature to ask this question, after all, none of them knew what the result of the assessment would be and what would happen.

But Lil was always curious.

Lil went on to say, "As for me, no matter what the result of this evaluation is, I should leave the capital after that."

"Hey." Fei Mo was a little surprised, "Really, you're not joking, are you?"

"Of course I'm not kidding." Lil kept smiling.

This was something she had already decided. If it hadn't been for the succession of the new emperor last time, the academy's evaluation would have been over, and she would have left the royal capital long ago.

In fact, the result of this evaluation is not that important to Lil, even if she does not enter the Knights in the end, it doesn't matter to her.

She just wanted to know how far she had grown after staying in the academy for so long.

So she may be regarded as the person who is less stressed, maybe that's why she has the spare time to care about Xue Ni and Fei Mo.

And if he entered, Lil would still leave after staying for such a period of time.

Today, she also took this opportunity to tell the two people in front of her.

In the capital, Lil met many heirs of noble families, but Xueni and Feimo were the only ones who got along with each other more easily and honestly.

"My words." Feimo thought for a while and said, "I never thought about leaving the capital, after all, I want to help my brother."

All along, she has always regarded Gomos as a role model, sticking to him all day long, following him to learn how to deal with affairs, and also thinking that one day she can help Gomos.

Of course, the premise is that Fei Mo can enter the Knights.
