Chapter 122 Qiao Linna, You Still Said You Didn't Fall in Love!
Monday, July 11th.
Xingtu City, Liandong University.
The sun shines brightly on the rebuilt school team base.
On the training ground, coach Anderson was giving a speech before the expedition:
"Well, I hope everyone can achieve good results... Now I will let Professor Lin say a few words."
"Everyone, come on." Lin Xiao nodded slightly, inspecting the three people in front of him, "try to crush the red lion and tulip."
Anderson waited for a long time and said tentatively: "Is it over?"
"It's done." Lin Xiao nodded.
Anderson was stunned and said a few words, really a few words!
He coughed and began to explain the competition system.
In the league, each school sends a representative team to compete, adopting the form of "three plus one substitute".
The four people representing Lonicera this year are captained by Jolina and Cynthia, a junior male crossbowman. Their substitute is Carlo, a country girl who has always been underappreciated.
Her ace is the auxiliary system's "Sunflower". She has little combat ability and is not expected to be able to compete on stage. However, during the school competition, she can always ensure and enhance the status of her teammates.
It was precisely because of this that Anderson chose her as a substitute among the output card masters.
I have to say that differentiated tracks are still very important.
This is like forming a group to build a book. There is never a shortage of DPS, but nannies are quite popular.
"The original intention of participating in the league is actually to lure the Demon God of Arrogance to show up..."
Lin Xiao thought: "However, as the coach of Lonicera can receive master-level resources, he can use this free subsidy to make the 'Scarlet Spear' break through to the fifth level."
Lin Xiao squandered the Yuan Chen he had accumulated recently, and five green and white lights popped out five times in a row.
The whole thing is a book of experience.
Taking into account the "law of conservation of character" and the fact that Dafu's luck cannot always be obtained, Lin Xiao was not surprised by this result.
The experience book had no effect on the seventh-level meteor sword, so Lin Xiao fed it to his second brother.
Although people often only use one trump card in a duel, just like poker cards have a big king and a small king, it is still necessary to cultivate secondary cards.
The Scarlet Spear is currently at level 48, and is very close to reaching the fifth level breakthrough.
"This year's opening ceremony will be held at our school, so you don't have to travel all the way. However, to be fair, some duel venues and schedules will be set up in schools in other continents."
Anderson said: "I will notify you of the schedule in due course. Okay, let's disperse."
Among the four people on the expedition team, Carlo, who was selected, was particularly excited. He held Jolina’s clothes by the hand and said:
"Jolina, I'm really selected for the school team! It's like a dream!"
"I believe in you, so you have to have more confidence in yourself." Jolina tilted her head, raised the corners of her mouth, and swayed her high ponytail gently.
Carlo was slightly startled and opened his mouth blankly. It turned out that Jolina had a pear dimple when she smiled... I had never seen it before!
Moreover, am I reading that right? The eldest sister is so lively today?
Could it be...
"Jolina, have you been in love recently?" Carlo whispered.
"Huh?" Jolina was at a loss.
"That's right, you've been very girly lately..." Carlo stammered.
in love……
Jolina originally thought that this word had long been erased from her life dictionary.
When she heard it from Carlo, Jolina felt unfamiliar for a moment, and she analyzed the meaning of the word as if clearing away the clouds in her mind.
Then behind the clouds, she first understood the meaning of "love" and then saw a figure.
The figure was just wearing a simple windbreaker, standing in a sea of sunflowers, with a motorcycle parked next to her, his back to her, and he was about to turn around.
Jolina didn't see his face clearly, as if trying to hide it, she had already erased the cloud from her mind.
She turned her head to the side, leaving Carlo with a tall and beautiful profile. She looked at the light falling from the skylight, her cheeks were covered in a golden halo, and she denied softly:
"No."
Carlo was shocked by the shyness displayed by her eldest sister at this moment, and her eyes widened in shock.
Jolina, you still said you are not in love!
Who will the target be? The lucky guy who can make the eldest sister show such a look, could it be that he has already taken action on the eldest sister? They have already slept together!
Oh my God, if we sleep together now, we will have to kiss each other in the future!
The country girl puffed up her cheeks and showed an air of a hen protecting her young.
Although I have no experience in love, I have read enough romance novels... First of all, I must ensure that Jolina will not be deceived by a scumbag!
I'm really worried about Jolina...
Although she doesn't seem to be in love, when she falls in love, that love will definitely be like an avalanche in spring, melting and violent, easily hurting herself, and scaring others away...
Carlo quickly inserted Jolina into the heroines of the novels he had read, and like a radar, searched for suspicious male targets around Jolina.
Suddenly, she saw a tall figure walking towards her and blinked.
Professor Lin?
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony at nine o'clock. Remember to arrive half an hour early." Lin Xiao said this to his colleague Qing Kui.
The top card master schools, these ivory towers, are suitable breeding grounds for arrogance.
The teachers are high-minded and the students are domineering. The three-school league will bring together teachers and students from three schools with different styles.
Lin Xiao believed that if he were the Arrogant Demon God, he would never miss this precious opportunity to cause trouble.
Therefore, before teachers and students from each school gradually arrive tomorrow, he will discuss the script of this operation with Qiao Linna.
"Roger that!" Carlo answered first.
Coach Lin is easier to talk to than Coach Anderson, but his classes are very difficult... I failed the first quiz, which is usually very predictable...
Wow, I shouldn't have signed up for his class, and I would have to fail another subject at the end of the semester.
"Roger...cough." Jolina crossed her arms across her chest and nodded, her voice cold and her eyes evasive for a moment.
Whew... the voice was hoarse, he probably didn't hear it.
My breathing is fine, it's my normal frequency, and my movements are natural. Tsk...why was my voice hoarse just now?
Jolina felt a little irritable for a moment.
Lin Xiao was stunned.
Did I offend her?
Just remind her to come earlier...
Wait, I am a person who is urged by colleagues to go to work early tomorrow, and I am sure he will be annoyed!
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao clenched his fist, coughed lightly, turned his gun and aimed it at Carlo, and said:
"Caro, you are the only one who failed the quiz. I should have written clearly on the blackboard and sent you the PPT. Why do you still fail?"
"I'm sorry...I really don't have enough brains..."
"You can pass the Liandong exam, so this is no excuse. You can't neglect your studies just because you're busy with duels. If you don't understand, feel free to ask me!" Lin Xiao said with a straight face.
"He's right." Jolina said calmly, "I will lend you the notes later, Carlo. You can also ask me, or directly ask Professor Lin, Professor Lin..."
It's so inconsistent to say 'professor'... Jolina thought.
It feels good to be called 'Professor' by the first person on the list... Lin Xiao thought.
"Thank you Qiao Linna!" The country girl smiled innocently, "You and Professor Lin are really good people!"
Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna: "..."
Each of you would like to receive a good person card!
Narrator: Carlo won today's victory. Bracket, I got Jolina's homework notes. (Incorrect)
…
After the school team assembled and disbanded, Lin Xiao rode a motorcycle back to his new home.
Yesterday, after he broke through the seventh level, he moved out of the rental house and moved to a new home.
The new home has been fully renovated and is located in Shangcheng District, Xingtu City. The surrounding land is expensive and it is also very close to Queen Street where the investigation team is located.
My neighbor is Chu Yun... But Brother Chu Yun's house is not as big as mine.
Lin Xiao asked Sigrid to inspect the house. There was no strange needle-eye equipment, but the red-haired woman was still his team leader after all, so he had to be careful about this.
The furnishings of the new home are very simple, with a standard three bedrooms and one living room, which is quite spacious.
When Dafu rolls around on the floor, his head will no longer hit the corner of the table.
Lin Xiao was somewhat happy, as he was actually easily satisfied.
But the fire in his palm clearly told him the cruelty of reality... he could not rest yet.
Chu Yun had already visited Lin Xiao's new house yesterday, and today it was his turn to visit Chu Yun.
Lin Xiao pressed the doorbell and the door opened. A man wearing an apron held a kitchen knife in his hand and glanced up and down expressionlessly.
"Empty-handed?"
"You were empty-handed yesterday... No, you left half a pack of cigarettes at my house."
"I didn't have time after helping you move." Chu Yun turned back to the kitchen, "Remember to bring back the cigarettes, they are very expensive."
Lin Xiao found that Brother Chu Yun looked paralyzed, but in fact he was melancholy, so he was very suitable for the role of cold-faced complaints.
Of course, he might just lack someone to talk to, so he kept it in his heart until a new operator was recruited into the team...
The sound of cooking could be heard in the kitchen.
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that he was not alone, and was the one who was always loved... No matter where he went, there was always someone willing to cook him a hot meal.
He thought of Margaret's office, which smelled of ink and wood. It was cold, depressing, and had a sofa. She was curled up there, hugging her knees, and resting her head on her knees.
The red-haired woman greedily expands the political territory. In the end, she will only have more and more similar offices, without smelling the slightest smell of fireworks or hearing the sound of cooking.
Lin Xiao didn't care about her strength, but if one day she drew her sword against her, he would never show mercy.
Lin Xiao's eyes wandered around the display shelves and settled on an old photo frame, and his expression suddenly changed.
She is Brother Chu Yun’s lover!
Damn, this is such a corny plot, but I can’t help but look at the photos!
The photo showed a beautiful blond woman holding Chu Yun's arm with a bright and sunny smile. If Lin Xiao remembered correctly, her name was "Salita" and she was the former team leader of the special agent team.
She stopped Dagon and helped Brother Chu Yun escape.
Lin Xiao looked up at the ceiling and thought sadly, she is a good woman...
Don't know why.
The image of a girl with a high ponytail and her arms folded indifferently suddenly appeared in Lin Xiao's mind. She turned her head and looked at the golden sunset, like a military flag that could not fall in the wind.
Lin Xiao's mind was shaken for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Love is a war, and I am not mentally prepared to attack the city... and I have experience.
He sat back on the sofa and sat upright.
The sound of the range hood stopped.
Chu Yun smoked a cigarette and placed two dinner plates on the coffee table in front of Lin Xiao.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded green peppers and potatoes.
Just these two dishes instantly brought back countless memories for Lin Xiao. The attractive color and aroma can make people eat a big bowl of rice.
"The craftsmanship is not bad." Lin Xiao stood up and said cheerfully, "I'll get the chopsticks and help you fill a bowl of rice!"
Chu Yun's face was expressionless.
This guy doesn't consider himself a guest at all.
That’s all, Brother Chu Yun shook his head helplessly. After that incident with Dagon, he owed him...
Neither of them had the habit of watching videos while eating. They just sat facing each other in silence, but it was not awkward, and there was a sense of harmony between men.
"There are only green peppers in the green pepper and potato shreds." Lin Xiao suddenly said, "There are only tomatoes in the tomato scrambled eggs..."
"And potatoes." Chu Yun paused and said, "And tomatoes."
Lin Xiao grinned and said with a smile: "During the three-school league, I need the special agent team to closely observe the teams of the three major colleges to prevent suspicious people from mixing in."
"Are you worried about...the card-falling master?" Chu Yun said.
"Professor Ole has learned a lesson from the past, so we have to be careful," Lin Xiao said.
Chu Yun nodded.
The Arrogant Demon…
At present, the investigation team has come into contact with some information about demons. For example, the Demon God of Gluttony is, to a certain extent, inseparable from the ferocious beast ‘Glutton’ in Central Continent.
And Arrogance, Wrath, and Sloth have had their followers all over the Federation.
The remaining three demons, greed, lust, and jealousy, have not obtained any useful information for many years and are extremely mysterious.
Why Lin Xiao, also known as the Heavy Sword Man, is so concerned about the Demon God incident must have something to do with his own plan.
Chu Yun would not ask further questions.
He planned to bypass the team leader during this month and intensify his efforts to track down the demon.
Intelligence reconnaissance, this is the job that the ravens of the special agent team are best at.

Tuesday, July 11th.
The opening ceremony of the three-school league was held as scheduled at the amphitheater of Rendong University.
Lonicera's school robe is green, embroidered with gold thread, and the school emblem is 'honeysuckle'.
The Red Lion school robe is bright red, and the school emblem is a lion.
Tulip's school robes are made of expensive materials and are elegant in purple. It is said that it is also the school with the most beautiful girls among the three major universities.
Student delegations from three universities took their seats in the stands of the arena, overlooking what looked like three petals of different colors.
The faces of these young card masters are filled with youth and confidence. They are in the golden years of their lives, their collars are straight and their school badges are dazzling.
The contestants from each university appeared one after another. When it was the turn of the contestants from Lonicera University to appear, there was obvious discussion in the seats.
"Lonicera's female captain is so beautiful."
"It seems her name is Qiao Linna, um... not very famous."
"Can you ask a member of the school team to help me get my contact information?"
Jolina stood in the center of the amphitheater, surrounded by a flood of discussion, her red eyes flashing.
It was here, on the stage of the three-school league, that Roman first showed his prominence, led the Red Lions to win the championship, and eventually became an unparalleled national figure that the world looked up to.
This is also my battlefield.
Because of my philosophy...
"Come on Lonicera!" Amidst the ocean-like cheers, Lin Xiao shouted along with the students, "Come on Qiaolin!"
Jolina suddenly hesitated for a moment.
Her red eyes flashed slightly, she lowered her head and glanced at the red leather gloves, clenching them in disbelief, feeling extremely confused.
Bang...an annoying figure popped into my mind.
It doesn’t matter anymore!
The girl raised her confident and awe-inspiring eyes, which were as beautiful as rubies. Her high horse tail swayed in the wind, showing her heroic appearance.
Always respond to the expectations of some people...Don't think about the future, don't imagine the thorns.
At least for this moment, let me be the sharp blade that opens the way!
The girl with a high ponytail stretched her right hand towards the sky, announcing the arrival of "Jolina Jones" to three top universities!
The three-school league kicked off with a tsunami of cheers.
The host announces the referee selection.
Lin Xiao noticed that the referee's shiny head seemed familiar, and his eyes widened:
"I'll go, Iron Wall King Kong!"
