I've been losing horses since becoming a group favorite

It was the first time that Huo Qiyan looked at Zou Jie squarely, this level of provocation was actually caught by Gu Nian?Wasn't she always too lazy to care about it before?

Xiangxi on the side tried to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, he didn't dare to say a single unnecessary word, he even felt that his breathing was unnecessary.

But after hearing Gu Nian's words, Zou Jie moved her lips but didn't speak again.

Was what she said just now a little too direct? In front of the third master, will her little thoughts be directly seen through?Why did she target Gu Nian like this since she came to this castle?
Zou Jie's cheeks were hot and red, thinking of what she blurted out just now, her heart ached with regret.

Xiangxi and Zou Jie left the study together.

Zou Jie was a little guilty, and her mind was quickly turning on how to make up for the impulse just now: "Miss Gu is quite arrogant."

"Why?" Xiang Xi recalled it for a while, and couldn't help but agree with this sentence. Although Ms. Gu said very little and didn't fight, her cold eyes were full of arrogance.

"I just thought that Ms. Gu is here, why don't you just participate, so as not to be regarded as a vase." Zou Jie straightened her hair, then looked up to Xiangxi.

Isn't she just a vase?

Xiang Xi was somewhat disapproving: "Miss Gu is different from you."

The tone was a bit sour, and Zou Jie could easily tell what the difference was. They all came to this day step by step by virtue of their strength, and of course they didn't pay much attention to those pampered inside.

Mr. Huo likes people, and they have nothing to say, but that doesn't mean they have a crush on those women brought home by the young master.

Hearing that Xiang Xi didn't see Gu Nian in his eyes, Zou Jie's disturbed heart instantly relaxed, and her smile deepened: "That must be different."

Not long after, news spread that Gu Nian was going to participate in the assessment of Zhuque Hall.

The assessment of Suzaku Hall is actually held together by the two halls of Suzaku Xuanwu. The exam is divided into two sessions. The first is public election, the exam will be public, and the results will be made public. The second is an internal exam. The assessment is separated, and only those who participate in the assessment know the content of the examination and the circumstances of the examination.

The content of the public election exam is relatively basic, divided into shooting and fighting, and information detection.

Observers are allowed to observe these exams, so the news that Gu Nian is going to take it immediately aroused secretive but wanton discussions.

Xiang Nan has an arrogant personality, even a little conceited, and he has a straight temper and straightforward speech.

"Mister actually agreed? He is not afraid that Ms. Gu will accidentally hurt herself when she holds the gun? We don't have fake guns for the assessment."

Xiang Bei didn't answer, but there was a look of disdain on his face.

"Oh, just treat it as studying with the princess, and let her act. Miss Gu has never seen it before, so it's normal to want to see it. You can find a few people to watch and don't let her get hurt. The matter is over."

Xiangxi was also very irritable. They were very busy during this period, and they had a backlog of things to deal with with the husband. In addition, there was an assessment, everyone was in a hurry, and in the end, there were still a lot of idlers who wanted to intervene.

Xiangdong shrank aside and buried himself in his own meal. He raised his hand carefully after they had finished speaking: "But why did the goddess ask Miss Gu to participate?"

Several people fell silent, Xiang Xi paused, scratched his head: "You mean you don't want Ms. Gu to be considered a vase?"

vase?

Who?
Miss Gu?
"?" Xiang Dong blinked, his face innocent and confused.

The next day.

The first test is shooting.

The examination room is in the back garden of the ancient castle where Xuanwu Hall is located, and there is a professional shooting range.

Those who participated in the assessment had already changed their clothes, and everyone looked dignified. Some of them had already put on their protective gear and were still practicing their movements over and over again.

There were quite a few people in black uniforms gathered around in twos and threes, which looked much more relaxed in comparison, obviously to watch the fun.

Zou Jie was surrounded by many people, including newcomers who participated in the competition, as well as some good-natured people.

She is one of Wang Xingjian's generals, and also the hacker alliance's seed candidate this year. At least it is absolutely no problem to pass the public election assessment. She is held in the center. more and more proud.

Xiang Dong held the vertical flower to her, and was surprisingly a little shy, there were bursts of booing sounds from around, everyone knew that Xiang Dong worshiped Zou Jie, and he never hid it.

Zou Jie took the flowers in his hand and said with a bright smile, "Thank you."

The noise suddenly quieted down.

Xiang Dong, Zou Jie and the others looked back, Xiang Dong's eyes lit up, and he trotted towards the door.

"Miss Gu, come on for the assessment!"

Only then did Zou Jie realize that there was a bunch of flowers in Xiang Dong's hand, which was exactly the same as the one in her hand.

Her smile could barely hold.

Gu Nian was a little surprised, and said sincerely after receiving the flowers, "Thank you."

Xiang Dong scratched his head and laughed, hey, he was a little silly: "Miss Gu, don't feel pressured, it's nothing if you pass the assessment, and you don't want to be the third master's bodyguard, so you don't need to enter the bodyguard hall."

Gu Nian: "."

The voice of his words was a little loud, and the eyes from the side pierced like arrows.

A man in black uniform ran over and led Gu Nian into the rest area under the eyes of everyone.

"Who is she? Is she still underage?" It was a girl next to Zou Jie who spoke, her hair was cut very short, her dress was neutral, there was no makeup on her face, her eyebrows were wide, and she was very heroic. When she saw Gu Nian clearly, she showed Unbelievable expression.

The people next to them were also very confused. Those who came to participate in the assessment were basically outstanding people with several years of experience in the front line. This also meant that they were not young. For example, girls with short hair were already 28.

She looked at Gu Nian now, at least ten years younger than herself.

Come to the assessment in your teens?Can you hold the gun?

Zou Jie was not interested in the flower in her hand, she said absent-mindedly: "She is different from us, I saw her in the master's castle yesterday."

The people next to him fell silent.

They didn't know for a moment whether they should envy Zou Jie for going to Mr.'s main castle, or be surprised by Gu Nian's identity.

They all have some idea of ​​who the gentleman is, but they are all heard, and no one has actually seen it. Since Gu Nian "lives in the main castle", it means that he belongs to the gentleman.

Then she came here, at most, to join in the fun, or a canary with a token to play.

They can't afford it, and they don't think much of it.

So everyone avoided this topic tacitly, and only occasionally glanced at Gu Nian, revealing some complicated emotions.

The air outside is not very good, and there are too many people.

Gu Nian followed behind the man in black uniform, and coughed twice, feeling a little uncomfortable in his throat.

The sound of pattering footsteps came, and the air became moist.

Think about being taken to the rest area.

"Miss Gu, please." The man in black uniform stopped at the door of a lounge with double doors, and opened the door for Gu Nian.

The person inside is Huo Qiyan.

Gu Nian was surprised for a moment, but felt reasonable in the next second.

"Drinked."

After Gu Nian sat down, the housekeeper brought over the tray, Huo Qiyan took it and placed it in front of her, with a cup of slightly sweet pear soup.

Now that he saw Huo Qiyan, he couldn't get out until she came on stage.

Gu Nian noticed that the eyes of the person opposite had been fixed on her body. She sipped pear soup for a while, but couldn't help it: "What are you looking at me for?"

Huo Qiyan sat on the single sofa opposite, propping his face with one hand, lazily and luxuriously: "Where are the wild flowers?"

Gu Nian: "."

Just now when she came in, she put the flowers on the sofa, and she forgot about it.

Huo Qiyan got up, walked around the table, and stood still in front of Gu Nian.

Gu Nian had a question mark on his face, and after looking at him for three seconds, he tentatively sat aside. Huo Qiyan sat down in her original position very satisfied, and at the same time blocked Gu Nian's sight by turning sideways, and then lifted him up from behind with one hand. Throw the bouquet straight into the trash can.

The butler fell silent: "."

It was as if he was meeting Mr. Them for the first time.

This action is really flowing.

Huo Qiyan sat sideways, with one hand resting on the back of the sofa, as if he was protecting Gu Nian within his sphere of influence.

This distance is a little close.

Gu Nian lowered her eyes, and the movements of her hands unconsciously slowed down.

"You don't like Zou Jie?" Because it was too close, Huo Qiyan's voice was a little low, as if it was right next to his ear.

It was too foul for Huo Qiyan to ask a question, Gu Nian paused for a moment, and sat aside calmly: "I don't know."

If you don't know each other, you can't say whether you like it or not.

"Then why do you want to take part in this assessment?"

In the middle of last night, after Gu Nian finally fell asleep, Huo Qiyan sat by her window, carefully looked at her side face sunk in the soft pillow, and seriously thought about this question with his valuable head.

The tens of millions of orders in one minute did not make Huo Qiyan think so seriously.

After discussing all the possibilities, Huo Qiyan felt that perhaps he seemed to be able to play a small role in this decision.

The pear soup doesn't seem to be sweet anymore.

Gu Nian swallowed with some difficulty.

Why is this taste sour?

This shooting assessment is the first round of the public election, requiring ten bullets to hit the 80 ring.

This standard already belongs to the standard of snipers for outsiders, but for those who come here to participate in the assessment, it is the foundation of the foundation.

Zou Jie is the key seed candidate, and he attracted a lot of attention when he played.

Xiangdong's onlookers belong to a very special kind. He is the brother of Xiangxi and Xiangnan, and he has a high status in front of Mr., but he doesn't have any position, and his subordinates don't sit like Xiangxi and Xiangnan. It has two halls of Suzaku and Xuanwu.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the examiner or the people in the hall, he is respectful and far away.

Xiangdong is used to this kind of situation. Before, he would avoid the people in the hall intentionally or unintentionally, and would not participate in any of their activities. This was the first time he came to visit and assess.

"How is it?" Xiangxi and Xiangnan walked beside him at some unknown time, leaning against the pillar with their arms folded, and the sound of gunshots not far away.

"The goddess is amazing! The highest score!" Xiang Dong was so excited, his eyes lit up, "96 points! No one can surpass this score!"

A look of surprise flashed across Xiang Nan's face, he didn't expect a girl to get this grade.
