There was a series of slight crisp sounds coming from behind.
Zheng Qing turned around and looked past the dancing shadows of the trees. He seemed to see a few rising fireworks, including a few vague numbers.
This made him seem to see the performance stage at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
"I don't know how many points Zhang Shuzhi scored."
He murmured and looked away, looking at the witch who also raised her head, and finally remembered that her first round of acting was interrupted by Tu Shan Chujiu: "...After your acting was interrupted by Tu Shan, how can you
How many points do you get?”
"No points." The witch replied lightly.
This answer immediately made the wizard sober up.
His thoughts immediately returned to reality from the previous "shades of trees, paths, walks and chats", and he remembered the identity of the witch and the nature of the spring hunt in Shanglinyuan.
Reminds me of the two people's early departure.
"Is it okay?" he couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"What?"
The witch stopped and picked up a bunch of unknown golden flowers from the bushes nearby. Zheng Qing noticed that the flowers were quickly closing their petals.
"Is it okay if you can't get the acting score?"
"Do not worry about it."
"Then you take me out directly. What about the rest of the competition? You should have only participated in the third round of the challenge... won't your family blame you for not participating in the first and second rounds?"
Today's competition is divided into three rounds. The first round tests the young wizards' understanding of magic; the second round 'three kills and three products' tests the wizards' mastery of sacrifices by killing and decomposing prey; the third round challenges each other.
, to determine the final rankings of each young wizard.
"It doesn't matter...I already got what I wanted most."
The witch lifted her long hair hanging around her ears and put the wreath she had just braided on her head. The little flowers that had just pretended to be dead bloomed one after another under the stimulation of magic power, which was extremely stunning:
"And you caused so much trouble on stage. It would be in everyone's interest to leave early to avoid the limelight. It just so happens that I also need to prepare dinner. As for other aspects... Shanglinyuan Harhunting is a gathering of young wizards and witches.
In this place, the main purpose of the second round of three kills and three grades is to allow the children of the aristocratic families to show off their sacrificial skills and abilities. It has little to do with you. On the contrary, at the Spring Hunting Dance in the evening, you will meet some interesting friends, and you will be able to grow a lot.
It’s a rare experience and worth a visit.”
After some analysis, it seems that a lot has been said, but it vaguely avoids the core question of "Will the family blame her?"
Zheng Qing stared at the wreath on the witch's head, bit his tongue, and chose to ask again from a different angle: "On the acting stage... I mean, if you admit defeat to Tushan Chujiu, will there be any consequences?"
He waited for the answer with some anxiety.
He was afraid of hearing bad answers such as "the division of magic resources was reduced," the ranking of the family was lowered, "I lost a lot of money" and so on. If it was just losing money, Zheng Qing thought that he still had some ability to repay, but if it involved wizards
There was really nothing he could do about the family dispute.
"Consequences?" The witch crossed her arms and thought seriously for a moment: "Hmm... maybe it's not good for the family's face?"
"That's it?" Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
The witch glanced at him with a half-smile: "For aristocratic families, face is more important than profit. This situation actually comes from those legendary or higher-level wizards. For them, in this world,
It has reached a point where there is nothing worth pursuing, and it is difficult for the two powerful forces to cause any substantial harm to each other. Only "losing face" can slightly determine the outcome. Therefore, the big shots attach great importance to face, so it is passed down.
The family gradually began to pay more attention to face."
"Then you..." Zheng Qing's heart suddenly lifted.
"Me? I took you away from Crescent Lake. How could my family still blame me? They have lost face today!" At this point, Jiang Yu blinked and suddenly showed a hint of aversion: "It's you... today
If you are taken away by me, I'm afraid Senator Su won't let you go easily... You have to be mentally prepared."
Zheng Qing's heart just relaxed because of her previous words, and then tightened again because of her next words. He felt as if his heart was on a roller coaster, rising and falling, shaking so hard that he couldn't breathe.
"Ying, it should be okay."
Zheng Qing smiled dryly and guessed without confidence: "Didn't you say that the relationship between Qingqiu and Tushan is not good? The way I treated the big fox in Tushan's family today... she should be satisfied, right?"
"Are you talking about pinching Tushan-senpai's tail hard?" The witch raised her eyebrows, as if she was not satisfied with the boy's answer.
Zheng Qing coughed twice hard.
"I didn't do it on purpose...it was a necessary means." The boy tried his best to defend himself. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of the white jade the witch was playing with. He had an idea and changed the subject very bluntly: "Well, I almost forgot to ask.
You...the transformation spell you performed today is so powerful, haven't you turned it into a cat yet?"
He pointed to the cat-shaped white jade in the witch's hand.
Earlier on the performance stage, the witch's skill in combining transformation with binding spells was extremely impressive, leaving a very deep impression on Zheng Qing.
"This? It's different."
Jiang Yu snorted and gently let go of the wizard's move to change the subject. Her wrist shook slightly, and a small bottle fell from the sleeve of her robe. The bottle contained a few drops of the dragon-shaped blood that was chasing and fighting:
"This is the essence and blood of the hairy dragon. During the day, I borrowed external forces and opportunistically used the essence and blood of the hairy dragon to perform transformations. It is not really that powerful... Dragon blood has very powerful magic power and contamination.
Power... you can understand it as when we first practiced the second-order battle formation, we borrowed Bofu's essence and blood to truly develop the second-order state, or you can also understand it as the directional deformation technique, and the general principles are the same."
Zheng Qing didn't need to ask professionals from the Wandering Bar to estimate how expensive the drops of hairy dragon essence and blood in the bottle were. He suspected that the money he made from selling blood talismans in a month was not enough for this young lady to fight in one battle.
squandering.
He sniffed, doubting his ability to make money for the first time.
“Money has superpowers too.”
The wizard thought of a certain figure riding the Bat Chariot, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. Facing the curious gaze of the witch, he sighed heavily and added: "I mean, this is not opportunistic... Just like Lao Yao often said,
Just as luck is a part of strength, I think gold is also a part of strength."
"It feels a little weird coming from your mouth."
Jiang Yu put her hands behind her back and continued to walk backwards slowly, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "When you threw thousands of talismans on the stage, there were countless witches by the lake.
I'm asking around about your background and family background..."
