Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

After the second round of round robin competition, the top eight teams can enter the third round.

As for the content of the third round, Shenlong Academy is still keeping it secret from the outside world, saying that it is preparing the venue and guaranteeing that everyone will be satisfied.

Therefore, the teams were given a five-day rest period.

"I said, why did you suddenly act so fiercely recently? I thought at first that you wanted Xianyu to complete the whole game."

In the library of Shenlong Academy, Xiao Jinian, who was lured in by Ling Yao to help him find clues, sat cross-legged on the ground, flipping through the book in his hand while asking casual questions.

"Who made Ling Linhan come out of your Shenlong Academy, and caused our Jianmen to suffer a disastrous defeat. Jianmen must find a place to come back somewhere else, right?"

Ling Yao raised his head and searched row by row in front of the densely packed bookshelves.

"Ha, in terms of overall strength, they are definitely not comparable to your Jianmen, but this time the competition system is five rounds and three wins, not a big melee. Just think you are unlucky!

"But let me tell you, that guy, he has just arrived at the General Academy, and his name is almost bigger than me! He is really too hated.

"If it wasn't for his fast cultivation and the high-level people of the academy secretly protecting him, he would have been assassinated countless times."

Xiao Jinian curled his lips, closed the pages of the book, looked up at Ling Yao,

"Didn't you check the people around him before? Why did you suddenly care about that Lao Shizi's 'Tianxin Patriarch'?"

Ling Yao glanced at Xiao Jinian, then turned his head quickly, and took out a palm-sized booklet from the bookshelf:

"I'm in a hurry."

Xiao Ji Nian immediately rolled his eyes:

"Come on, there's not even a single secret book of exercises in this ghost place, and usually only freshmen from remote areas come to check the public information. What kind of secrets can there be in this ghost place?

"I gave up the good time of dating and came to the library with you. You just tell me this?"

Ling Yao pressed the booklet in his hand on Xiao Ji Nian's head, and seeing Xiao Ji Nian's pretending yelling, he said in disgust:

"There's no need to hide it? Then why didn't I find any information about 'Tianxin Patriarch'?"

Xiao Ji Nian also scratched his head now:

"How do I know this? You said that you haven't found a book after searching for more than a week. I'm surprised!

"Although Patriarch Tianxin didn't have any great achievements or great achievements, and rarely appeared in the records, he was still in the Realm Realm anyway, and there are always some mentions.

"I remember a few months ago, the teacher asked me to find the history of the Longchuan area before the establishment of the Wolong Kingdom. I still saw this name! The book is near here, so it can't be wrong!"

Ling Yao looked dead fish, waved his left hand up and down, pointing at the large bookshelf behind him:

"Here, the neighborhood. This is the neighborhood you mentioned? I've almost read thousands of books with you in this neighborhood. Has the name 'Tianxin' appeared?!"

"Uh uh uh...Maybe, that book just happened to be borrowed?"

"Didn't you say it was mentioned in more than one book?"

"Then... they were all borrowed?"

"..."

Ling Yao drew another book and pressed it on Xiao Ji Nian's stupid head,

"Whether I believe it or not, you do believe it anyway, right?"

With a bitter face, Xiao Jinian took off the two books on his head and hugged them in his arms:

"It's strange. Could it be that the teachers of the Capital Academy were taken away? But why?

"Teacher has clearly said before that Tianxin's cultivation philosophy is considered an outlier among cultivators, and there is no reference value for finding a different way. On the other hand, isn't there nothing worth covering up?"

Ling Yao stopped flipping through the pages of the book, and looked up at Xiao Ji Nian.

He knew that the "teacher" Xiao Ji Nian mentioned was Xiao Ji Nian's mentor after he was admitted to the hospital, and he worked at Shenlong Academy.

But to Xiao Ji Nian, this is not an ordinary tutor.Because he was also the benefactor who picked up Xiao Ji Nian in his childhood from the most chaotic northern wilderness in Wolong Kingdom.

Xiao Jinian once told him in a small chat that when the teacher saw him for the first time, he was caught by a group of refugees and was almost thrown into a pot for boiling soup.

If the teacher hadn't redeemed him with dried meat, Ling Yao might have seen him in someone else's stomach.

About that teacher——Xiao Ji Nian was named by him, and his birthday is the day he picked it up; cultivation is the door he brought in, and he also recommended him to enter Shenlong Academy.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the status of this "teacher" in Xiao Ji Nian's mind.

But since Xiao Ji Nian gained a firm foothold in the General Academy and founded the White Fish Gang, he had less and less contact with this mentor, and mentioned this person to Ling Yao very rarely.

Seeing the way Ling Yao looked at him, Xiao Ji Nian froze for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't mentioned his teacher to Ling Yao for a long time, so he had to explain to Ling Yao:

"I told you, before he met me, his realm had already stayed in the primitive state for a long time.

"He also felt that he had no chance to break through again in this life, so he put all his thoughts on a research in the academy, and didn't even have the time to teach me personally, so he found a way to send me directly to the main academy to study.

"At first, it was nothing. We still kept in touch with each other often. But later, he seemed to have major differences and conflicts with other teachers during his research.

"In order to keep the research results, the college kicked him out of the research group, and didn't even assign him teaching tasks.

"In fact, it's just that everyone didn't say it clearly. In this state, the academy is afraid that he will reveal the secret and put him under house arrest. Even I have to apply to the academy before I can visit him.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of this little trouble, but the teacher suddenly became very repulsive to see me.

"I finally met with the superior several times, and as soon as I asked him what happened at that time and if there was anything I could do to help, he immediately kicked me out.

"So I mentioned him to you less often, after all, I don't know much about his recent situation."

Ling Yao narrowed his eyes: "So, what he studied is related to the history of the era of outstanding people thousands of years ago? So you were suddenly asked to find out?"

Xiao Ji Nian spread his hands:

"Probably? He never told me about it, and I just guessed it from the books he read.

"So he suddenly asked me to check these things by myself some time ago. I was quite surprised how he suddenly changed his attitude."

Ling Yao lowered his head and weighed the book in his hand:

"Maybe you figured something out; or maybe something is too late, and you have to take a risk to do it."

"Huh—who knows."

Xiao Jinian's tone seemed to be indifferent, but Ling Yao knew that he was definitely not as indifferent in his heart.

This guy is also the leader of the Baiyu gang who has been doing well in the main hospital. When Xiao Ji Nian gets along with him, he behaves like a big adult Erha, and now when he meets Liu Yuya, he becomes a cute and childish Erha.

But usually, this guy is very shrewd.There is nothing Ling Yao can think of that he can't dream of.

It's just that right now, with his strength in the Void Hole Realm, what he can do, or dare to show, is still very limited.

Regarding the internal affairs of Shenlong Academy, Ling Yao certainly didn't know as much as Xiao Jinian.

But Ling Yao has an abnormal news channel - the complaints in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, which is not comparable to Xiao Ji Nian.

Being able to leave treasures like the Nine Heavens Chongyun Pagoda and the inheritance that allowed Ling Linhan to advance by leaps and bounds, this "Patriarch of Tianxin" is probably a big man in the True Yuan Realm.

And Shenlong Academy suddenly withdrew all relevant materials recently, in Ling Yao's view, there is also a tendency to cover up.

Even the college's sudden holding of an exchange competition is probably just a part of its plan.

The clues Ling Yao grasped are like jade beads scattered all over the place, each one can make people feel how shocking the whole string of beads will be, but he still can't find the chain connecting them.

The jokers always say that everything that happened to Ling Linhan is nothing more than "routines" and "plots"...

But those developments that seem illogical to them, in the "reality" where Ling Yao lives, the cause and effect seem to be full of fog and conspiracy.

This gap also made him feel a stronger sense of crisis.

"I can't explain it, but I have a hunch. Shenlong Academy... although I know you have a lot of affection for the academy.

"But, what's good for you is that teacher, not the rest of the academy. Don't trust them too much."

Ling Yao snapped the book in his hands together, put it back on the shelf, and pulled Xiao Ji Nian up from the ground,

"I'm worried that your college is doing something big. Be careful, don't be tricked by the college and count the money for them."

Xiao Ji Nian did not answer these words.

If it was a few years ago, when the teacher hadn't had any accidents, and Ling Yao said this to him, he would definitely think that Ling Yao was just thinking and worrying about nothing.

But now...he also had to admit that perhaps Ling Yao's worries were not unreasonable.

But after all, he is still a student of the academy, and it is impossible for him to directly express his distrust of the academy.

So he just didn't refute, and changed the subject:

"What, you're leaving? Don't you want to check?"

"I won't check it anymore. If Dragon Academy wants to keep it secret, it will be useless for us to check it in this kind of open library."

Ling Yao stretched his waist and walked out of the library.

"We've been squatting here for three days. It's time for Shenlong Academy's announcement? Your third round of competition is mysterious, and all schools are very nervous."

Xiao Jinian followed Ling Yao's footsteps and twisted his neck:

"The secrecy work this time is also great, even us old students don't know the content of the game.

"Everyone in the academy is also very curious about what the academy is trying to do... Hey, the outside is different from the inside. After three days of nesting in the room, the sun feels so dazzling."

When Ling Yao just walked out, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

But he opened his eyes before Xiao Jinian, and then saw...

He stopped silently.

And Xiao Jinian, who was walking behind him, bumped into his back with a grunt:

"Oh, I'm going, Guangdi, why did you stop suddenly! Did you bump into a ghost?"

"Ah-nian-you, say, who is, ghost, where? Huh?"

When Xiao Jinian heard this familiar female voice, he immediately popped out from behind Ling Yao holding his nose:

"Yaya Ya Ya Ya Ya...? Why are you here?"

Liu Yuya stood in front of the library in a charming manner, attracting a large number of college students to stop and take a look.

In the end, it was hard to wait until the Lord came?It turns out that these two unkempt things are what beauties are waiting for?

Super bad review!

"You said—why did I come here?"

Liu Yuya fiddled with her hair, stared at Xiao Jinian with resentful eyes,

"It's clearly agreed, after the second round of the competition, I will go out for a boat tour in Longchuan and talk with me at night by holding candles...

"The result? It turned out that you stayed with him day and night for three days! Do you still have me in your heart? Huh??"

The onlookers showed strange looks at Ling Yao and Xiao Ji Nian, and pointed their fingers.

Ling Yao: Wait, how do I feel about this description? You seem to be here to catch rape. Xiao Jinian is the one who was caught. I am...

I'm not! ! ! !

As soon as Xiao Ji Nian saw his sister coming, his mouth became limp and his legs couldn't speak anymore, he just walked over to hold her hand.

Liu Yuya didn't take the joke too far, after all she gave Xiao Ji Nian a face, kissed Xiao Ji Nian's bearded stubble on the spot, gave Ling Yao the look of a "mother in the palace" showing her might after victory, dragged Xiao Ji Nian by the collar and left.

Ling Yao was left in a mess in the wind: Hey, it turns out that on the surface it is "catching rape", but in fact it is a show of love between a man and a woman. It has nothing to do with me!

When Ling Yao, who still felt that what happened just now was illusory, returned to the Jianmen Cave Mansion as if he was sleepwalking, and was stopped by Ke Shuyu.

"Ling Yao! Have you read the announcement from Shenlong Academy!"

As soon as Ling Yao heard this tone, he knew that the matter was not simple:

"I haven't watched it yet. Has the announcement been posted? What is the format of the third round?"

It is not unusual for Ke Shuyu to know nothing about Ling Yao, but he is extremely anxious and excited:

"The competition is a melee between eight teams. After a certain time limit, the scores of the markers obtained by the teams and the converted scores of the number of survivors will be superimposed, and the top two teams with the highest scores will be the finals!

"It's not the key, it's not the key, the key is the venue of the game!

"They opened an unknown and powerful inheritance place as the competition venue! A different space that has not been explored and developed!! Any treasure found in it, Dragon Academy will not take it away, and all will belong to the team that found it!"

Ling Yao's tired expression also became serious.

To be able to open up a different space in the Great World of Mangsheng and become a place of inheritance, this is at least the handiwork of the great power of the True Yuan Realm.

Shenlong Academy unexpectedly discovered such a place, and generously shared it with other top forces in Wolong Kingdom through an exchange match!

"Have you talked to the sect master? The different space that has not been explored and developed means that the treasure has not been taken away, but it also means that the space is not stable. If the space is broken by then, we will all die." It's inside."

Although the baby is good, you must have your life to take it.Ling Yao will not understand this truth.

Of course, Ke Shuyu will not be obsessed with the treasure that has not yet been obtained:

"Nonsense! Of course I said it! But they couldn't figure out what the Dragon Academy was up to.

"It's because the different space is unstable, and it's easy to cause turmoil if you enter it above the original appearance, so we have a chance. Otherwise, why don't you think that Shenlong Academy didn't send it to break the empty space and take away the inheritance?

"The gate is mainly guarding the mountain gate. My master is retreating, and Master Liang from Xingyao Peak is not at Jianmen. However, your Master Qiu from Yueyao Peak is already on his way. When the time comes, he will also help us guard one or two.

"I just want to let you know, and get ready quickly. That is the inheritance of the power of the True Yuan Realm, which is much more important than the ranking in the competition! When the time comes, don't let Jianmen hold you back!"

Ling Yao thought, but he was not on the same line as Ke Shuyu:

"It's going to be a big mess this time. Master will come, and other forces will also come to Jiangcheng from the Skybreaker Realm. I don't know how Shenlong Academy will end up...

"And everyone thinks that inheritance is important, baby is important, and this third round of competition might cause death..."

Of course, at this moment, the other seven teams entering the third round of the competition were also unable to calm down.

The forces of all parties are secretly working hard, hoping to reap the benefits of this heavenly opportunity.

"But if only Puxiang and below can enter, why not let the outstanding students of the academy enter, but invite so many people together...?

"Ask us to explore the way? Or for other reasons?

"Moreover, it is the inheritance of the power of the True Yuan Realm..."

Ling Yao kept an eye on himself

——This game, I'm afraid, is not as simple as everyone imagined!

And no matter how the parties think about it, the day when the third round of competition will start has arrived as scheduled.
