The merit system of the city

After Xu Lai left, the First Elder hurried to the back of the restaurant.

"Old Ancestor, the grievances have been resolved, this is the cheat book."

He offered the secret realm with both hands.

The man in the robe narrowed his eyes slightly, took the cheat book, and glanced at the place where Xu Lai disappeared.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Since ancient times, heroes come from young men."

The disciple of Hehuan Sect was killed just now, he actually had the urge to take action.

But in the end, he still suppressed it.

"Old Ancestor, don't worry. From now on, he will follow his Yangguan way, and we will take our single-plank bridge. In the future, our sect will have outstanding disciples, and we will just find him to vent this anger!"

"That's all, go back, don't be ashamed again."

The ancestor shook his hand in frustration, and disappeared in Jin City.

He can't come out for too long, only in a closed place can he maintain a longer life.

Although he was lucky enough to break through to the Martial Saint stage, but his lifespan was short, and it was difficult for him to advance further.

Xu Lai returned to the hotel not long after.

First, I sent a message to Chen Xiaobai and asked about the recent situation.

Generally speaking, as long as there is a situation, Chen Xiaobai will notify himself.

But recently, Chen Xiaobai must be in a bad mood, so Xu Lai made the phone call himself.

By the way, let's see how Chen Xiaobai is doing.

After a while, Chen Xiaobai answered the phone.

"what happened?"

Chen Xiaobai asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, how is our senior beauty doing recently?"

"I'm... okay."

Chen Xiaobai probably hasn't fully come out yet, his tone is low and his mood is not high.

"one thing……"

Chen Xiaobai wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"Come on, what's the point of being polite between us, I'll treat you as my brother." Xu Lai joked.

Chen Xiaobai couldn't help smiling, and snorted coquettishly: "Who is your brother, I'm a girl."

"What I want to say is that my third uncle's death may really have something to do with Huo Beifeng."

Xu Lai was taken aback for a moment, he was sure that Huo Beifeng had made a move, but he judged from his own perspective.

Why is Chen Xiaobai so sure?

"Did you find any clues?"

"I... I found out that after my third uncle went to see Huo Beifeng that day, the two had an argument."

"Didn't I tell you not to check it yourself?"

Xu Lai didn't know what to say, Huo Beifeng was not something Chen Xiaobai could shake.

Chen Xiaobai is so pure and stupid, and to put it bluntly, this is courting death.

"You're at school, right? I'll be right over."

After Xu Lai hung up the phone, he went downstairs.

Half an hour later, he came to the school and found Chen Xiaobai with a sad face.

Recently, because of her third uncle's affairs, the research projects in hand have fallen behind a lot.

Fortunately, the members of the project team were very understanding and did not blame her for anything.

However, since the death of Chen Xiaobai's third great-uncle, the senior management of the college obviously paid less attention to Chen Xiaobai.

After all, without the background of Huang's family, Chen Xiaobai is much more ordinary in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Xu Lai pulled Chen Xiaobai out of the research room, and the two came to the school's coffee shop.

Jinnan University is very big, there are several cafes, and there are many students in it.

But mostly girls.

Girls like this quiet atmosphere.

Except for boys to accompany their girlfriends, there are very few people here to read books or play with mobile phones.

"You should put those things aside now and focus on the project."

Xu Lai said to Chen Xiaobai.

Chen Xiaobai shook his head in pain: "I know, but I can't do it, Xu Lai, I'm just a mortal, I'm not a god, and I don't have such a strong control."

Xu Lai's heart sank slightly. It seemed that the matter of Chen Xiaobai's third uncle had affected her more than he expected.

And this matter has something to do with me.

This made Xu Lai blame himself a little bit.

"Well, give me a few days to see if I can find anything, and you can concentrate on your research project first."

"Then... that's fine."

Chen Xiaobai breathed out lightly, she was really feeling very heavy by herself.

With Xu Lai now, it was as if two people were shouldering the burden, and she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"By the way, it's been so long, and you haven't invited me to dinner yet."

Chen Xiaobai showed a long-lost smile and said to Xu Lai.

"Then today's coffee is my treat."

While the two were talking, a student bumped into them suddenly.

The target is Chen Xiaobai.

From the looks of it, it's the kind of free-for-all.

Bumped into the school belle and took advantage of the opportunity.

Xu Lai had noticed it a long time ago. After the opponent bumped into him, he stretched his legs.

The student immediately fell to the ground, without even touching a corner of Chen Xiaobai's clothes.

"Why do you have such long legs! You don't have eyes!"

The student got up and scolded Xu Lai.

Xu Lai didn't look at him, but looked at an acquaintance who followed him.

Dulcey.

Everything just now was done on purpose by Dulce.

"Ahem, Mr. Xu, isn't this the narrow road of Yuanjia?"

Dulce was well-known in the school, and everyone knew him, and a big circle around him immediately stepped aside.

"Why, the defeated general, did you come here today to learn from a teacher?"

Xu Lai was not at all polite to Dulcey.

Dulce flushed with anger and clenched his fists.

He probably knew that he couldn't beat Xu Lai, so he didn't make a move in the end.

He just snorted coldly and said, "Don't provoke me, let me tell you, I'm not easy to provoke!"

"Hehe, is that right? You are a student, who gave you such a big tone? Could it be your old man?"

Everyone knew that Dulce was rampant at school, relying on his parents' connections.

But this was all tacit, and no one dared to point it out to Dulce.

Now being confronted by Xu Lai, Dulce suddenly felt a burning pain on his face, and felt a little bit embarrassed.

"Just wait, drink it well, this is the last time you drink coffee!"

Dulce said something pointedly, and then turned his head and went out.

"Xu Lai, it seems that you have put his crime to death."

Chen Xiaobai frowned. Of course, she knew Dulce's identity.

It's just that Xu Lai and Dulcey's enmity is so great.

"If you offend, you will offend. He asked for it. There is no way."

Xu Lai didn't take it very seriously, no matter how you say it, he's just a brat, what else can he do besides suing the school?

Huo Beifeng was the one that really gave him a headache.

If Huo Beifeng really got in touch with Jing Yuan, he really didn't know what to do for a while.

When he came out, Xu Lai saw Tang Nian'an again, he quickly turned his face away, not wanting to greet this woman.

At night, in the hotel, Xu Lai calmed down.

Prepare to refine spirit crystals and that drop of blood.

The two spirit crystals should be refined as soon as possible for the best results.

If this thing is used for a long time, more spiritual power will be lost.

He didn't have the special preservation method of the Hehuan sect.

It seems that there is a magic talisman that can be used, but it is rare to draw and requires special materials.

So direct refining is the kingly way.
