Thousands of miles away, in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, a forty-story building was still brightly lit even in the middle of the night.
There is only this solitary building for miles around.
In the elevator of the building, a man and a woman took the elevator up.
The atmosphere in the elevator was a bit dull.
"Sister Lei, did you really give your skills to that boy?" said the young man in a pink suit with oily hair and pink face.
"The family just forbids the family's martial arts to be passed on to others. You didn't pick up your martial arts from a street stall, so it doesn't matter if you give it out." Lei Ru said calmly. "Doesn't the family still have this restriction?"
Lei Gui was silent. Some time ago, Lei Ru asked him for a copy of the Disabled Scripture. He initially thought that Lei Ru wanted to read it himself, so he gave it to her. However, he did not expect that after Lei Ru got the Disabled Scripture, he actually traded it to someone else.
"Isn't it just a fragment of the Scripture? What are you worried about? Even if he really finds someone to translate the fragment of the Scripture, without the immortal root, do you think he can practice it? And he knows what kind of immortal root the fragment of the Scripture corresponds to.
?”
Lei Gui couldn't help but think of the scene when he was first planted with immortal roots. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he laughed dryly and said: "That's probably because I'm overthinking it. Without immortal roots, I can't get in."
The elevator stopped on the twenty-third floor and the elevator door opened.
"Sister Lei, I'll go back first." Lei Gui said softly.
Lei Ru snorted from the wings of her nose.
After getting out of the elevator, Lei Gui returned home and closed the door.
Walking into the bathroom, there is a small window in the bathroom, and a little moonlight shines on the white walls through the window.
Lei Gui was silent for a moment and took off his shirt.
He turned his back to the mirror.
The neck creaked and turned, turning with great effort, and the neck twisted almost 180 degrees.
In the mirror, there is a thin figure. Where the vertebra should have been, there are ferocious bulges outwards. Veins like tree roots extend outward along the vertebrae. With breathing, the ridges under the skin are rising.
The veins undulate slightly.
"Immortal?" Because Lei Gui's vocal cords were squeezed by the rotation of his neck, his voice seemed particularly hoarse.
The expression on Lei Gui's face seemed to be crying or sad.
"Hahahahahaha, who would have thought that in the eyes of outsiders, a lofty immortal could be like this!"
Accompanied by the ear-piercing laughter in the bathroom, the bulge on the spine emitted a dazzling blue light, like a centipede lying on the spine, illuminating the skin and blood vessels.
...
"Lao Wang, I won't go back to school in the new semester."
"Yes, I transferred to Beihu No. 1 Middle School. Didn't I tell you before?"
"Let's wait for the National Day. It will be closed for seven days. I will come back and take a look then."
In the bedroom, I hung up the phone, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the laurel tree in the yard through the window.
Chen Xing looked calm. Grandpa would have a better cultivation environment here, so he naturally stayed here.
When her mother returned to her grandfather's house, Chen Xing could see that her mother was in a good mood.
If the mother stays here, the best situation for the father is of course to stay with the mother.
Seeing his family happy and contented is the life he hopes for most.
And if you want to protect this kind of life, you need the power to overcome all obstacles and cut off all external forces.
In addition, after finally arriving in a world with extraordinary power, how can we not look at the higher scenery?
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Tuoba Fengming took a car to Tuoba's island to pick up Chen Xing and go to school with him.
When the car door opened, Chen Xing saw Tuoba Fengming sitting in the back seat. Today Tuoba Fengming was wearing a small shirt, a black and white sweater vest, a burgundy short skirt, and a knee-length skirt.
Wearing white stockings and a long ponytail, her hair hangs down past her shoulders.
Compared with Foluo City in the south, the autumn in Beihu City is already a little cooler.
Seeing his cousin's gaze, Tuoba Fengming frowned, "Why are you looking at me?"
"It doesn't match your style." Chen Xing replied honestly.
On weekdays, Tuoba Fengming always wears sportswear.
Today I actually put on a college style.
"The school requires you to wear school uniforms," Tuoba Fengming said.
"After you sign up and collect your things later, I will take you to the logistics office to collect your clothes."
The car drove to the school. Beihu No. 1 Middle School was built in the middle of an island.
However, the lake around this island is not big. In Chen Xing's opinion, it is more like a "moat".
Beihu No. 1 Middle School was built like a castle, and the car stopped at the gate of the castle.
There are all kinds of cars parked near the gate. School starts today and many parents drive their children to school.
Chen Xing got off the bus with Tuoba Fengming and stood beside Tuoba Fengming, which attracted the attention of many students.
Tuoba Fengming can be said to be the star student in the school.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also the pride of the school.
"Is that the bodyguard hired by Tuoba Fengming?"
"Isn't it normal for the eldest lady of the Tuoba family to hire a bodyguard?"
Both of them have good hearing, and although the voices of the people around them are not loud, they can all hear clearly.
Tuoba Fengming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chen Xing's head is full of black marks. He seems to yell that I'm only sixteen and I'm not a bodyguard.
But after thinking about it, he forgot about it. None of these people talked to him, which made him look pretentious.
Walking into the castle, Chen Xing thought that the castle was just what it looked like on the outside. Unexpectedly, after walking into the castle, the inside was really decorated in the style of the castle.
"Beihu No. 1 Middle School was designed by a design master from the Xili Kingdom. It has a history of sixty or seventy years." Tuoba Fengming introduced the school to Chen Xing.
The classroom of Class 1, Grade 3 is on the top floor of the castle.
Climbing to the top floor, the classroom of Grade 1 Class 1 is actually an entire floor on the top floor of the castle in the north.
"Your classroom is actually so big?" Chen Xing said.
Looking at the huge staircase classroom and the open wooden cabinets with schoolbags on both sides of the classroom, Chen Xing felt that he seemed to have some misunderstanding about high school classrooms.
"Well, this is a normal classroom." Tuoba Fengming walked to the first row of seats at the front and motioned for Chen Xing to sit next to her.
"There must be someone in this position." Chen Xing saw there were textbooks on the table.
"Just let him sit in a different position later." Tuoba Fengming said calmly.
There are already scattered students in the classroom.
I saw a strange boy sitting next to Tuoba Fengming, and he seemed to be very familiar with him, talking and laughing with Tuoba Fengming.
Some people couldn't help but secretly guess Chen Xing's identity.
"Who is that? Why are you sitting in Zhou Ming's seat?"
"I don't know, Zhou Ming has a bad temper. He has been chasing Tuoba Fengming for a long time."
"He can't be our new classmate, he just doesn't look like a high school student."
"Could it be Tuoba Fengming's father?"
"I don't know, her dad never came to school during the high school years."
"..."
Chen Xing was a little angry at first, but she heard someone guessing that she was Tuoba Fengming's father.
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and glanced at his cousin secretly.
Tuoba Fengming happened to turn his eyes and noticed Chen Xing's expression.
I was immediately a little angry.
He stepped hard on Chen Xing's right foot with his left foot.
Unexpectedly, this foot was like stepping on a stone.
Chen Xing was fine, but her foot was stuck.
Tuoba Fengming's beautiful brows couldn't help but frown.
Along with the commotion, a tall, thin boy appeared at the front door.
Some people in the classroom looked like they were watching a show.
The tall and thin boy walked up to Chen Xing. Chen Xing noticed that someone was staring at him and moved closer to him. He guessed in his heart that his seat should belong to this person.
The man approaching had a world-weary face, three white chins, and a section of his right eyebrow. He looked quite ferocious.
The boy walked to his seat and bent down.
When Chen Xing's eyes fell on his face, the young man who had a world-weary face just now had a flattering smile on his face.
"The person who is more suitable for this position than me has finally arrived. Hello, Brother Chen! Last time my dad took me to Mr. Tuoba's house to celebrate his birthday, I took a look at you, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to get to know you."
Chen Xing was slightly startled, but soon returned to normal. He thought they were the guests who came last time for his grandpa's birthday. There were a lot of people at that time, so he failed to pay attention, "I will take your position..."
"Sit! It's an honor for you to sit in my seat." Zhou Ming said without hesitation.
After saying that, he walked up to the boy sitting behind Chen Xing, knocked on the table, and his attitude suddenly changed.
"You go to the back and change seats. I want to sit next to my brother Chen."
