Star Sea Lord

The mulberry elm is lost, and the eastern corner is harvested.This is how Xiao Junling feels now.

Given the current situation, being able to temporarily avoid too much interaction with Ji Yuecheng is undoubtedly more beneficial than harmful to him.So when he heard that his former teacher missed the appointment, he didn't feel much disappointed, but he was mostly grateful in his heart.

But Zhou Meng didn't think so. She and her family had spent a lot of thought on the matter of this boy, but Ji Yuecheng just rescinded the previous agreement with a single word, which made her very unhappy. Just thinking about how to find a way to save face, Xiao Junling's luck is so extraordinary that he was actually spotted by Xi Chen Qinglan, who is also the God of War of Lone Star.

Hearing her question, Zhou Meng was startled at first, then overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you are willing to teach him personally, then we will..."

Xichen Qinglan gently raised her hand to stop her from continuing, and smiled slightly:

"That's unnecessary! I'm willing to accept this child only because his aptitude is really good, and he is more pleasing to the eye. That's why I made this decision. You don't need to pay extra."

"..." Zhou Meng looked stunned, she obviously didn't expect such a result, she was still guessing how much benefit the other party would ask for in order to be able to exchange for such a precious quota.But now it seems that this beautiful God of War has no plans to open his mouth, and seems to be planning to give her such a big favor for free.

Born in a big family, she is used to seeing all kinds of interest transactions, and she is also used to looking at issues from a utilitarian perspective. The value of a student who is personally taught by the God of War has long been determined.Since Xichen Qinglan opened her mouth, the family must of course make a corresponding gesture.But the other party made such a statement, and she had to think carefully about the deep meaning contained in it.

Xue Cangyun clasped his hands in front of his chest, his eyes nonchalantly looked at the several decorative oil paintings on the wall, showing that he had nothing to do with them and hung them high, but there was a faint and meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth .

Xichen Qinglan supported Xiao Junling's shoulders with both hands, and asked gently: "Son, are you willing to be my student?"

The boy turned his head to look at Zhou Meng's expression, then nodded, and said flatly: "I am willing."

The Goddess of War smiled with satisfaction: "That's good, go to my place to take a comprehensive test in the afternoon! Only in this way can you determine your talent and which field is more suitable for you to develop in!"

"Okay." This is an essential procedure, Xiao Junling was not surprised and agreed naturally.

Next, Xichen Qinglan explained some bits and pieces of precautions, and then waved Zhou Meng to take him away.

After the study door was closed again, the Marshal turned around and said with a strange expression:

"You are really good at grasping the opportunity. With a few words, you can capture a future super strong man, and successfully form a check on the Zhou family's layout. Hey! It's a waste of you not to lead troops Talented!"

Xichen Qinglan rolled his eyes at him: "When it comes to seizing the opportunity, this girl from the Zhou family is much better than me! You, the supreme commander of the Northwest Cluster, must not say that you don't know about her various actions these days! "

Xue Cangyun thought for a while, then stretched his hand behind the large nanmu desk, and lightly pressed a secret button. Immediately, there was a slight untraceable fluctuation in the air, and the whole study room was shielded by a strange energy field. .

He sat down at the desk, then looked at Xichen Qinglan and said, "When that child escaped from the fortress and was just taken into the Fortress Medical Center, two doctors who performed routine examinations on him found abnormalities. It happened exactly One of them has a little relationship with the Zhou family, which attracted the girl's attention."

"After confirming the child's unusual aptitude, she has been busy with this matter for the past few days. Persuading the family to use a lot of resources to win him a Lone Star God of War as a teacher is just the first step of the whole plan. Just one step."

Xichen Qinglan narrowed her eyes, and said with a soft smile: "The Zhou family has great ambitions. When they encounter such a piece of rough jade, they naturally have no reason to let it go easily. If they can have a Jixing Star God of War level in the future It is self-evident that the benefits to the whole family of characters joining in!"

"It's just that for a sufficiently powerful force, there can never be too many excellent talents," Xue Cangyun said,

"The Zhou family wants to pull that child over, and we can't let them succeed so easily. That's why you made such a decision on the spur of the moment. This is undoubtedly in the interests of the imperial government!"

"I am willing to accept that child, not just out of consideration for the empire," Xichen Qinglan gracefully stroked the long ink-like hair on her chest, and said lazily:

"The main reason is that people think he is more pleasing to the eye. After living alone for so many years, it is not bad to take in a student once in a while. I hope that his future performance will be worthy of my training."

Xue Cangyun stroked his chin, and thoughtfully said: "Should... yes! If he can survive this battle, but I am more worried about the situation in the southeast, and that moment will really come... ...I don't know if our layout will work or not, hey..."

……

"There is no free lunch in the world", "There will be no pies in the sky"!

These two sentences are common sense that every qualified family child should understand, and Zhou Meng is no exception.

In the marshal's study, Xichen Qinglan's unexpected behavior naturally aroused her doubts, so after sending Xiao Junling back to her residence, she found a reason to leave in a hurry, saying that she would come to accompany him to attend the meeting in the afternoon test.

After the boy finished his routine homework, he began to lie on the bed, staring at the dome of the room in a daze.

These days, Zhou Meng cares about him so much, no matter how nervous he is, he should be able to react by this time, not to mention his brain is not stupid.

He doesn't like her and her family's actions, but he doesn't dislike them either. At least so far, it's the other party who has been giving.In all fairness, Zhou Meng treated him well, and she obviously contributed a lot to convincing the family to invest such a large amount of money in a strong man who was only at the expected stage.

In order to survive the future wars until they grow strong enough, it seems like a good idea to find a big power with a deep foundation as the backstage.As for their initial investment, just find a way to return it to them in the future.

Everyone wants good things, including people. Since I have such enviable aptitude, it will be a matter of time before some big forces pay attention. The Zhou family is just one step ahead, and it's no big deal. Xiao Junling can see this very open.

……

Royal center.

A faint blood-colored air flow emerged from the ferocious mouth of the six strange-shaped star beasts sitting around, and poured into the dark red crystal pool in the central yang without any haste.

Ten meters in diameter, the hexagonal crystal pool was filled with a purple-red liquid, and clouds of mist that was so red that it turned black and gave off a faint fishy smell permeated the surroundings.

The crystal pool with unique and weird shape is running in some unknown and weird way. The hideous and terrifying unknown beasts and insects on the outer edge of the pool wall are slowly and rhythmically contracting and wriggling. The air bubbles stay for a few seconds and then burst gently, and more mist is released immediately, like boiling oil in a pot.

A transparent coffin with no visible material was half-floating in the middle of the crystal pool, and the body of Commander Sagus Nuoqi was soaked in it, his eyes were closed, and he had no breath.

A group of royal court elders stood around the crystal pool, watching the scene in the pool with worry.

"...Is it still not working?" After a long time, Kirklar paused the scepter in his hand with a look of anxiety, and circled around the crystal pool a little disturbedly.

Elder Troniach said: "We have tried our best to treat the Grand Commander, but judging from the current situation, it is very unlikely that Sagusnotch will successfully wake up and fully recover! Its injuries too heavy."

Tim Naert gritted his teeth and said: "Humanity's Lone Star God of War. It really deserves its reputation! It's so vicious! One day..."

The elders stared at him with complex expressions, shook their heads and remained silent.

That day, they managed to snatch back Sagus Nuoqi's body, and the elders immediately decided to use some rare resources of the royal court to treat him with all their strength, and even opened the clan's artifact "Blood Nightmare Spirit Pool" for this reason. .Hunted and killed a large number of rare star beasts, and took the energy essence of their flesh and blood for their absorption and utilization.

But now it seems that such an approach regardless of the cost has not had the desired effect. The commander's injury can only be regarded as barely stable, and there is no sign of recovery at all.

Kirklar said: "There are still several domineering and stubborn alien energies entrenched in its wounds. We tried our best to dispel only [-]% of them, and the rest have been assimilated and neutralized with important tissues in its body. It can’t be removed no matter what, so the wound can’t heal for a long time, so…”

Longketaunos asked in a deep voice, "Have you tried all the methods?"

"It's basically like this!" Kirklar hesitated, "Except for that method, I have tried all the other methods that can be used!"

"In other words, there is another plan to try?" the Great Elder said to himself.

Tim Naert's face changed, and he questioned aloud: "Will this cost too much? Our court has almost never used it for hundreds of years..."

"I know!" the Great Elder said impatiently,

"But the value of Sagus Nuoqi is completely worth our risk! So, stop talking, I will bear all the consequences!"

The elders looked at each other in blank dismay. They did not expect that the Great Elder's determination was so great that he insisted on rescuing Sagus Nuoqi even at the expense of the foundation of the royal court.

Troniarch said solemnly: "Okay! Now that you have made your decision, then that's it! I will immediately notify them to prepare and start soon."
