"Sister Linlin! We're here, we're finally home. That's the east gate of Lieyang City!"
Shi Lai excitedly pointed to the tall city gate in the distance, making Linlin secretly roll her eyes.
Can I not recognize you? Which of our players didn’t log in from Zhoujiacun at the beginning? Which city was the first to contact was not Lieyang City?
However, after spending the past few days together, she had accepted the strange fact that SSS was a single-celled creature. She was not surprised, and she looked at the city gate with some sadness and some expectancy.
Do you want to get in touch with more players? I don’t know what kind of people they will be. There are a lot of bad guys in the group who talk a lot, but they all seem to be guys who only dare to talk and have fun online.
Linlin was actually a little confused about her future path. After being classified into the main world and assigned to Hengshui City, she originally wanted to grow up in that small town for a period of time, but she never expected that the otaku who always came to him for massages was a big guy.
boss.
There is no way to stay in Hengshui City, or even the original Liao Kingdom. King Jin's people will definitely be able to investigate her, and it will be very dangerous there.
After thinking about it, I realized that Senior Xia Yi was safer around me and Lieyang City was the most familiar to me, so I followed him to Lieyang City.
I'm just a little worried that Chen Mingming can't find her when he wants to find her... As a player, it's naturally impossible for her to suddenly fall in love with a shy native of the Holy Soul Continent who has been pursuing her for a month, especially after knowing that the person is actually a pig...
...but all kinds of unexpected occurrences and Chen Mingming's final reluctance to say goodbye always made her feel confused.
"Let's raise some money and find a way to open a massage parlor in Lieyang City. The house prices in Lieyang City are much more expensive than Hengshui City. It's troublesome."
Shi Lai actually gave her a suggestion, asking her to join the girl group formed by the 'girls who can't afford to be hurt' in the group, but she can't sing or dance... and because her innate conditions are so good, she can't jump around in front of others.
It's appropriate, so I can only refuse.
"Girl, when you arrive in Lieyang City, if you don't have a place to stay for the time being, I can give you my old yard to stay in. It doesn't hurt to continue the business you did in Hengshui City there."
Linlin was startled by Xia Yi's sudden words, and said in surprise: "Your yard?"
"Well, I settled there when I first arrived in Lieyang City and lived there for half a year. Not long ago, half of it collapsed due to other people's fighting. I was too lazy to repair it, so I bought a bigger yard. I left it there.
If you don’t dislike it, I’ll live there first and won’t charge you rent. If I come to you for massages, or if my disciples, relatives or friends come to you for massages, I won’t pay you.”
Xia Yi smiled: "Shi Lai, you can take her there later. I'll go home and have a look. I'll ask Chen Guang to find Luo Ti later.
Let me ask you one more question, are you sure you want to return to the Holy Academy? After all, the Holy Academy is the Holy Land of the Human Race, and the rules are strict. I can use my face to make you an exception, so that you can return to the Holy Academy to study after participating in the war between the two countries, but you can.
Once again, don't run back to the army soon after hearing about the outbreak of war.
Another point is that the selection of the Four Talented Men and the Four Talented Women seems to be not far away. You will almost certainly grab a spot when you go back at this time. You got along well with your intermediate class classmates before, but it involves your own interests. If you go back this time, I’m afraid
You won’t be popular, you may even be hated by them!”
Sometimes he scratches his head, and he doesn't want to go back and snatch the places from his classmates. The Holy Soul effect of the four great talents is just the icing on the cake for him as a player, but the world wants me to go...
Seeing his reaction, Xia Yi knew the answer and said: "Okay, the Holy Academy will start school in a few days. Then you can go back to the Holy Academy to practice. I will only help you this time."
Shi Lai chuckled: "Thank you, grandpa!"
Xia Yi waved and said goodbye to Shi Lai Linlin.
The original small courtyard is in the East Third District, and the new courtyard is in the East First District, just a short way down the road.
The purpose of letting Linlin live in his small courtyard is to keep her in sight, and maybe get news about the Pig Demon God. The embarrassment and entanglement of returning to the Holy Court also made Xia Yi have some speculations.
"The world also doubts Father God, and wants Shi Lai to experience the god-given ceremony? It's useless. I thought the same way when I branded the Tianxiong Star. Shi Lai's cultivation level is nowhere near, and even the four great talents may not be able to understand it.
Come up with something else..."
Take the rail carriage and come to East District 1.
More than half a month has passed since the turmoil when the Qi army pressed the border and the tyrant arrived. Before returning to Lieyang City, Xia Yi took a trip to Nanji and knew that Zhao Yu was still in Liaocheng at this time. With the help of the human world,
Negotiations with Qi State are ongoing.
There is no way to start a fight. The threat from the Kingdom of Jin is huge. If the two countries continue to fight to the death, the final result can only be swallowed up by the Kingdom of Jin.
However, there were still disputes over the alliance, the peace talks, who was in charge and who was in charge, and the ownership of Liaocheng and Hengze City, the two cities of Zheng previously captured by Qi State, and no results were reached.
But no matter what, most of the armies from both sides have been reduced and are on alert northward, so Lieyang City has returned to a stable appearance.
Lively and peaceful.
Xia Yi is not planning to go to Liaocheng. He believes that Renjian's abilities can handle everything. This also allows him to gain more experience in the peace talks between the two countries and improve his own strength. Renjian and Shilai are the two players he values most.
, cannot be left behind.
Next, his focus will be on the research and development of steam engines and the official title of king! After that, he will go to the Wei Dynasty to explore the four Wei families or the reason why Cao Cao erased the traces of the Xia family!
The area of his new home will be four times the size of the original courtyard. In Lieyang City, it is considered to be the largest mansion after the Prince of Xiyuan's Mansion and the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
When he left Lieyang City, the courtyard had just been purchased, and he handed over the layout and decoration tasks to Zhou Xiaoxian, his daughter, and Chen Guang. When he came back half a month later, the courtyard had been completely transformed, and there was a strong fragrance of flowers as soon as he entered the courtyard.
With a quick glance, Xia Yi saw a large flower garden and Wu Jing, who was happily and busy in the flower garden.
"This kind of green onion is quite capable. It really produced a lot of flowers on such a cold day." Xia Yi joked in his heart and turned his gaze away.
Starting from the courtyard gate, a green-grey brick road points directly to the hall. The hall door has four dark red doors, the two middle doors are slightly open. The diamond-patterned wooden windows in the side corridor are also open, clean and bright.
There are wicker chairs and a wicker table in front of the corridor. Three feet away from the wicker table is Wu Jing's flower garden.
Further away, the layout of the master bedroom in the downstairs is equally elegant, low-key yet luxurious.
Xia Yi nodded with satisfaction and heard the familiar maid's greeting: "Old Master, you are back! I will call the lady right now!"
Soon, Zhou Xiaoxian, Zhou Feng and Chen Guang all came out and exchanged simple greetings. Xia Yi conveniently investigated the cultivation levels of Zhou Xiaoxian and Chen Guang.
"Two-star peak?" Nodding to Zhou Xiaoxian with satisfaction, Xia Yi said: "Yes, we are ready to be promoted to three-star Tianji. Chen Guang's cultivation progress in the past half month is also good."
Zhou Xiaoxian was not complacent at all, and asked Xia Yi in a low voice: "Ancestor, Shi Lai's cultivation..."
"Don't compare with him, he is very special." Xia Yi shook his head: "A quick step may not mean a quick step. If you can't catch up with him in a short time, you may not be able to catch up with him in the future."
When Zhou Xiaoxian had two stars of Tianxuan, Shi Lai had just gathered one star of Tianshu. Now Zhou Xiaoxian was about to reach three stars, but Shi Lai was about to hit four stars. Even Chen Guang was overtaken by Shi Lai.
According to Zhou Xiaoxian's progress, it takes half a year to go from two-star Tianxuan to three-star Tianji, and another year to almost four-star. It is more difficult to go from four-star to five-star Yuheng. It will take about five years without encountering a bottleneck, which means Zhou Xiaoxian is twenty-three or four years old.
By that time, he is very likely to be able to become a five-star Yuheng monk, and already one of the top geniuses in the Holy Soul Continent.
But what about Shi Lai? According to his current cultivation speed, he can cultivate to six stars in at most two years, and this is without encountering any unexpected encounters (the system releases multi-experience reward tasks).
So fast, Xia Yi didn't believe that there were no hidden dangers at all. Back then, he didn't have the ability to clear monsters and upgrade tasks. He was already over sixty years old when he reached the level of Six-Star Kaiyang, and he was over eight years old when he reached the realm of coveting the king.
Ten.
The four-star power is a hurdle, and the three souls will undergo a qualitative change for the first time, extending their lifespan by fifty years.
Players only come to the Holy Soul Continent with three souls. Will the four-star Tianquan have souls that are incompatible with their bodies? Pay more attention to Shi Lai at that time.
After giving Zhou Xiaoxian some words of encouragement, Xia Yi listened for a moment and asked, "There are knocking sounds coming from the house next door, and it is being renovated? I remember that is the residence of the District Magistrate of the East First District, right?"
Zhou Feng said a little strangely: "Yes, it seems that the house was bought by someone else. It started to be renovated two days ago. I still don't know who the owner is."
"Oh?" Xia Yi glanced sideways. Is this someone trying to get close to him? He didn't care too much. He has a lot of things to do. If you get involved with him, you will be unlucky.
It was not until a few days later that Xia Yi, who was traveling between his home and Kaili's workshop, finally met the new owner of the yard next door.
This is a six-star Kaiyang peak!
His strength is not weak, he may be close to the level of the Tiangang Stars, but when facing Xia Yi, he looks extremely humble and familiar: "Senior, junior Feng Sanzhi, uncle Feng Jiukang, pay my respects to senior! Uncle Rang
I brought my wife and my little girl Feng Si to live in Lieyang City, and I will listen to my senior’s orders, and I ask my senior to take good care of me in the future.”
Xia Yi was silent for a while, looking in the direction of the Holy Court with some suspicion, and smiled helplessly.
…
The Holy Academy has two vacations every year, in January and August. Today is the opening day of the Holy Academy, and students have returned to the Holy Academy one after another.
Intermediate class class. I haven’t seen each other for more than 20 days. These students have endless things to talk about, but Lin Jingjing is as transparent as ever, sitting in a corner of the classroom in silence.
Her life has not been easy recently.
Four teammates in the monster hunting field died, and she was the only one left alive. Although the parents of the four teammates knew that she was not to blame, there were still unreasonable people after all - my son (daughter) is stronger and deadlier than you.
If it falls off, it must be because you ran away from the battle and you were timid and afraid of getting into trouble. It’s all your fault!
However, this is still a fact... Even if she doesn't escape, her life will be in vain.
She was not good at arguing, and over time, even some neutral classmates began to spread rumors about her, so in addition to being transparent, she would also receive a few eye rolls from time to time.
Shi Lai's classmate is no longer in the Holy Academy...
At this moment, the class suddenly became quiet. Lin Jingjing thought the teacher was coming. She raised her head and was surprised to see a familiar smiling face.
"Shi, Shi Lai classmate?" The low voice was particularly loud in the quiet classroom, making her pause and cover her mouth in embarrassment.
"Classmate Jingjing." Shi Lai responded with a smile, "Classmates, long time no see!"
"It's over! My senior brother's position!"
Xu Yang's heartbroken voice sounded, and a burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the school, and the chirping sounds started again.
"Why did you come back Shi Lai?"
"That's right, aren't you going to the military camp?"
"If you can come back after entering the military camp, it must be Yi Xia... No, Senior Xia Yi has spoken. It's great to have a king who cares about you."
In some words, it feels a bit like lemon.
Shi Lai didn't care, he greeted everyone one by one, looked around, and found that the original seat was already occupied, so he walked to the seat next to Lin Jingjing and sat down, "Can I sit here?"
This location is remote and convenient for fishing.
Lin Jingjing's face turned red, happy and shy at the same time: "Yes, of course it's no problem."
Shi Lai chuckled, but suddenly heard two more discordant words in his ears. He frowned and looked at Lin Jingjing: "You..."
At this time, there was silence in the classroom again. This time the teacher came, and behind the teacher was a thin girl about 160cm tall.
"Are the students here? This is your new classmate, Feng Si, let's get to know each other."
She has red lips and emerald eyebrows, and a pretty face, but with a cold and arrogant air that repels people thousands of miles away. This familiar appearance made Shi Lai startled: "Hey, hey, hey?"
Lin Jingjing asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, classmate Shi Lai? Do you... know her?"
