Legendary Sequence

The man raised his wrist to look at the time and murmured, "Two hours have passed."

As he spoke, he looked left and right, then walked to the left. As he walked, he took out pieces of paper of different sizes from his pocket and pasted them on the wall.

After these papers were separated from the wall, ripples of magic appeared on the surface, and then disappeared into the wall, and no abnormalities could be seen at all.

"Let's go to the next place." A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, humming a tune.

…

Su Yian opened his groggy eyes, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "How long has it been? Has the winner been determined?"

"Two hours have passed." Beiming Zhiyao smiled slightly and put a glass of water on the table in front of Su Yian: "My throat is a bit hoarse after sleeping for so long. Drink some water."

Dongfang Xiaoxin's expression at the moment is like this: (**;), with a speechless look on her face.

"My hair is bent." Beiming Zhiyao seemed not to notice the surprised eyes around her, and stretched out her hand to help Su Yian tidy up a bunch of hair when she stood up.

Su Yian was still confused: "I'm going to the toilet."

With that said, he stood up, yawned, and walked outside.

Bei Ming Zhiyao smiled, retracted her gaze and continued to look at the competition in the simulated environment.

"Zhiyao, aren't you afraid that your family will find out about this? They asked you to..."

"What are you afraid of?" Bei Ming Zhiyao asked, "If you know it, you will know it. What can they do?"

"I'm worried about Su Yian." Dongfang Xiaoxin said speechlessly.

"He's even less afraid." Beiming Zhiyao said with a smile in her eyes, "I've never seen anyone he's afraid of."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. You two can figure it out on your own."

"What a young couple!" Beiming Zhiyao's face turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Haha!" Dongfang Xiaoxin sneered.

"What is the origin of that young man? How could the eldest lady of the Beiming family be so gentle to him?"

"Yeah, just like lovers."

"Not necessarily, maybe he is his younger brother."

"Let's ask Mr. Xiong about it."

Xiong Zhaolin listened to the voices that sounded around him from time to time with a calm expression, but he couldn't help but wonder in his mind, does the deputy director of the Academic and Discipline Department of Tianji Magic Academy have any unknown identity?

"My lord, do you know the origin of that boy?" Lu Chengwang looked away and asked.

"My name is Su Yian. I only know that he is a new student at Tianji Magic Academy this year, and he is also the deputy director of the Discipline Department of the Student Union."

"The first-year student has become the deputy minister of the discipline department. His strength seems to be good among his peers." Lu Chengwang said calmly: "Tianji Magic Academy has many descendants of first-class magic families and even the [Ten Heavenly Families]. This It’s not easy for young people to stand out.”

"As expected of a top student who graduated from Tianji Magic Academy, he knows this school quite well." Xiong Zhaolin smiled.

"It's just..." Lu Chengwang spoke again: "The surname 'Su' does not exist in first-class or above magic families. He may just be a young man with outstanding talents. The Beiming family may not agree."

Xiong Zhaolin nodded and did not answer. Lu Chengwang had some kind of connection with the Ji family. It was normal for him to care about the Beiming family, but he was different. The second-rate magic family was too far away from the Ten Heavenly Family!

He looked at the increasingly fierce competition, with only five people left in the field.

…

After the housekeeper's guidance, Su Yian walked towards the bathroom.

To be honest, he slept so soundly this time. Even he didn't expect that he would sleep so deeply. It was more comfortable than sleeping at home, but it was a pity that there was no bed, otherwise it would be more beautiful.

"Sleep well!" Ling'er flew out of the spiral nebula again and said with her hands on her waist: "During the two hours you were asleep, Beiming Zhiyao spent two-thirds of the time looking at you. Woolen cloth."

Su Yian yawned: "Really?"

"Why did I lie to you?!" Ling'er snorted: "I really don't know what's so good about you that you can capture such an outstanding girl."

"Hehe." Su Yian laughed twice, then stretched a lot, and his consciousness sank into the spiritual world. He looked at Ling'er and asked, "What kind of thing is the star mark?"

"Well..." Ling'er's big eyes rolled: "When you become stronger, you will know."

"Tch!" Su Yian curled his lips: "Did my mother not let you say it?"

"Uh..." Ling'er hesitated, Su Yian snorted, and held Ling'er in his hand: "If you dare not say anything today, I won't let you go back to Xinghen!"

"And...hehehehe!" Su Yizhan pretended to be a bad uncle and said with a leering look: "If you don't obey me, I'll take off your clothes!"

"Pervert, pervert!" Ling'er shouted loudly: "Why are you such a bastard?!"

"Then tell me." Su Yian stared at Ling'er with a look on his face, as if he would take off Ling'er's clothes in the next second.

"You, you, you, you!" Ling'er's face changed, and she was struggling fiercely as she sat, whether it was more important to keep the secret, or her own integrity?

"Say it quickly!"

Seeing Su Yian's increasingly perverted expression, Ling'er's defense was about to be broken, but...

"There's someone in front!" Ling'er suddenly shouted loudly: "We're about to hit him!"

Su Yi'an groaned and could only let go of Ling'er, and his consciousness left the spiritual world.

Ling'er, who felt like she was being pardoned, hurried back into the spiral nebula, her little body trembling.

Su Yian looked forward and saw that he had encountered a corner, and there was a man coming from the other side of the corner.

"Sorry!" Although Su Yian quickly turned sideways, he still bumped into the other party's body.

"It's okay, it's okay." The man was quite enthusiastic. He looked at Su Yian and asked, "Are you the young master of Prince Kaiping's palace?"

"No." Su Yian looked at him strangely: "I am a guest."

"Guest?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly: "Which company are you from?"

Su Yian's eyes flashed. There was something wrong with this man. Why did he ask such detailed questions?

Then he also looked at the man, and then noticed the paper he was holding in his hand.

Lifting his head without any trace, Su Yian asked, "Who are you? Are you from the Xiong family? Are you asking about my identity like this?"

"Of course I belong to the Xiong family." The man said calmly: "No one is allowed to walk around at will. You have to ask clearly for your arrogance."

"That's it..." Su Yian nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I came here with one of my elders. My elder's name is Baili Chengze."

"Mr. Baili..." The man's eyes flashed, and then a smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that he is Mr. Baili's descendant. I am disrespectful."

"Where are you going?"

"bathroom."

The man said oh, and then said: "Turn right in a moment, there is the nearest bathroom, just go there."

"Thanks."

"Then I'll take my leave first." After the man finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

"Why do you say you are Baili Chengze's descendant? Are you trying to trick that old gentleman?" Ling'er leaned half of his body out of the spiral nebula and said nervously: "You promised me, Can’t break my promise…”

"I know." Su Yian said as he walked: "And I was just testing that person."

"Huh?"

Su Yian said calmly: "Most of the housekeepers in Kaiping Palace are at the level of junior magicians. They are all greeting guests at the moment. How can they move around at will?"

"People also have physiological needs and need to go to the toilet."

"It is very simple for a magician to control one's physiology. In such an occasion, these housekeepers will never go to the bathroom."

"But that person is dressed like the butler." Ling'er said.

"Did you see what he had in his hand?" Su Yian asked, looking at the walls on both sides.

"No!"

Su Yian said: "What he is holding is a magic talisman. How can a housekeeper have such a precious thing?"

The so-called magic talisman is to draw the magic formula of a certain magic into it in advance, and then carry it with you so that it can be activated at any time.

After the magic talisman is completed, you can inject a little bit of your own magic power into it, and you can activate the magic formula in the magic talisman at any time, and you can complete the activation even from a distance!

Because it is convenient and powerful, many descendants of the big family carry such things to save their lives in critical moments.

But talisman papers that can carry magic are not available all over the street. The raw material of this talisman paper is the silver sea tree, which is also obtained from the ruins. Although the silver sea tree has been artificially planted, the talisman paper is still in short supply. Once a new talisman paper is sold, it will be swept away by the big family.

So how could a housekeeper in Kaiping Palace have such a thing? And it’s still such a large quantity?

Su Yian looked at the long corridor in front of him. He could feel the magic talismans from the walls on both sides ten meters away.

"And..." Su Yian stopped and looked at the bathroom at first, then walked directly in.

"The housekeeper just said that there is a bathroom just on the right turn. Why did he bother to say 'the closest'?"

"Yes, why?" Ling'er looked confused and curious: "Normal people wouldn't go to such trouble."

Su Yian opened the doors of each single room in the bathroom and found nothing unusual. Then he said: "If there is 'the closest', then there is the 'the farthest'."

Then Su Yian left this bathroom and kept finding bathrooms one after another, and then——

"Look, there is indeed a problem."

Su Yian looked at the housekeeper who was slumped on the toilet, bleeding from all his orifices, and missing his coat and pants.

Ling'er opened her eyes wide: "Why did you kill the housekeeper? They should have no grievances."

"So I say that the world is not simply divided into good and bad. There are many reasons for killing, for yourself, for others, or for a certain belief." Su Yian said lightly: "Ling'er, how can a housekeeper make enemies with outsiders? time?"

"But the man just killed him for two reasons. First, he needed the butler's clothes to disguise himself. Second, he wanted to cause trouble in this palace."

"For this reason, he must kill the butler, not only to get the clothes, but also to prevent the butler from leaking the news."

Ling'er opened her eyes: "You want to kill innocent people just because of this? Are people so bad?"

"I said, you used to follow my mother, right? Haven't you experienced similar things with her?" Su Yian was speechless: "In this magical age, it's hard for someone as naive as you to survive!"

"I..." Ling'er said angrily to Su Yian: "That's because..."

"That's because my mom is awesome, right?"

Ling'er looked at Su Yian dumbfounded: "You...I...you...I, I didn't say anything."

Su Yian shrugged and walked out of the bathroom: "You are so naive, so I guessed this possibility."

"If you want to uphold justice, you must have the strength to uphold justice. Because my mother is very powerful and others have to listen to her, so you can maintain your innocence by staying with my mother."

"Because what you see is that everyone who has committed a crime must be held accountable, and every mistake must be punished, so you feel that this world is beautiful and just. Am I right?"

Linger was silent, and Su Yian continued: "In places where justice cannot see, it is normal to kill people randomly for some purpose."

"The society in the Magic Age is actually more smiling than the society before. Magicians can take action if they disagree with each other. They can hate each other because of something and want to kill them. They can turn against each other because of women..."

"Because they are magicians and cannot be restrained by the law, so they dare to kill people at will and trample on justice at will!"

"But various countries around the world have also set up special magic police forces to deal with magicians' crimes." Ling'er argued: "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"

"Haha..." Su Yian smiled sarcastically: "This is the most disgusting thing to say."

"Delayed justice, can it still be called justice?"

"This..." Ling'er's face was complicated, and she didn't know how to argue with Su Yian at all.

"Haha, don't put on such a troubled expression. Think slowly, read more books and see more of the world." Su Yian said with a smile.

Ling'er's eyes were complicated and she stopped to look at him: "How do you know so much?"

"When I was in the army, I basically went to all the places I should go, whether abroad or at home." Su Yian shrugged his shoulders: "Life is full of different situations, bright and dark, happy and unfortunate."

"A certain philosopher once said that we must see through phenomena to see the essence."

"Which philosopher?"

"Uh..." Su Yian didn't know how to answer, because there was no such philosopher in the history of this Tianling world.

"Anyway, just read more books first." Su Yian passed by.

"Oh!" Ling'er got back into the spiral nebula.

Su Yian looked at the magic talismans on the two walls with profound meaning in his eyes.

There was something he didn't actually tell Ling'er, that is, the tone of the man disguised as the butler changed after he heard that he was following Baili Chengze.

Baili Chengze was a representative sent by the Great Qin Empire's cabinet to celebrate his birthday. He did not show up today, but was with Xiong Bin.

As the birthday celebration representative of the cabinet, Baili Chengze lived in seclusion, and the people responsible for his daily life were the maintenance personnel sent by the empire, not the palace steward.

How could a low-level housekeeper know about Baili Chengze? And if you knew it, you must also know that apart from leading a group of medical staff, Baili Chengze did not lead any other juniors at all!

So there is only one possibility left.

Su Yian thought of the conversation he had with Baili Chengze in the bamboo garden last night, and he speculated that the man was also invited by Baili Chengze.

But what Su Yian can't figure out now is that no one in the century-old palace dares to cause trouble casually. Where did Baili Chengze hire such a helper? And he didn’t hesitate to use so many magic charms!

"Maybe we can take advantage of it." Su Yian began to think about the purpose of his trip.

Naturally, he would not break his promise to Ling'er, but discovering this matter at this time gave him other options.

…

When Su Yian returned to his seat, Dongfang Xiaoxin immediately complained: "I went to the toilet for more than 40 minutes. Are you going shopping?!"

Bei Ming Zhiyao noticed something was wrong with Su Yian's expression carefully, and couldn't help but asked: "Did something happen?"

Su Yian glanced in the direction of Xiong Zhaolin without any trace, and after noticing that he was looking this way, he quickly said to Beiming Zhiyao: "I encountered something strange in the bathroom. A man seemed drunk. He slept on the toilet with his clothes disheveled, and he didn’t know who he belonged to, but he did such a discourteous thing in Prince Kaiping’s palace.”

Beiming Zhiyao frowned slightly: "It's really weird."

"Then you observed him for more than forty minutes?"

"No way!" Su Yian said: "The palace is so big, the bathroom is so remote, and I didn't meet anyone from the palace on the way, so I searched for a while before I found it."

"You're such an adult and you can't even find a bathroom!"

Su Yian said speechlessly: "Is there a sign and how can I find it? And it's only on the first floor. What can I do?"

While talking, Su Yian secretly stared at Xiong Zhaolin.

With the strength of a powerful magister, the voice just now was definitely heard.

really--

Xiong Zhaolin's eyebrows knitted together. Not only him, but Lu Chengwang also looked a little surprised.

"Someone dares to do such a disrespectful thing in the palace. How brave it is."

Xiong Zhaolin said nothing, turned to the butler who had been standing respectfully and whispered a few words, and then the butler turned and left.

Su Yian picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, then looked at the simulation environment: "How is it going now?"

"There are only four people left, Xiong Qinshun, Xiong Chumo, Xiong Binghua, and Xiong Heyu." Beiming Zhiyao said, then looked at Dongfang Xiaoxin: "It's pretty much what you said."

"Of course." Dongfang Xiaoxin raised his head proudly, and then said: "Chu Mo has persisted long enough. Now it's time to quit acting."

"Even if he doesn't act, he might not be his opponent." Su Yian said playfully.

"Haha!" Dongfang Xiaoxin smiled disdainfully. She was obviously more confident in Xiong Chumo.

"Don't you support Chu Mo?" Beiming Zhiyao looked at Su Yian with a smile: "Why don't you have confidence in him?"

"I just said it casually!"

Seeing Su Yian's rogue look, Beiming Zhiyao couldn't help but smile.

opposite.

"The daughter of the Dongfang family is really confident in Xiong Chumo. Could it be that he is really as strong as your son?" Lu Chengwang laughed and teased.

Xiong Zhaolin said lightly: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This daughter of the Dongfang family is very protective of Chu Mo."

"Then the prince is very lucky. Having a relationship with the Dongfang family will give him even more power."

Xiong Zhaolin smiled faintly and didn't say much. Don't talk about this kind of thing until the last moment, especially when it involves the [Ten Families of Heaven]!

At this time, the housekeeper came back and whispered a few words into Xiong Zhaolin's ear.

Xiong Zhaolin's face suddenly darkened, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The expression on Lu Chengwang's face also calmed down: "What, is something wrong?"

"It's not that he was drunk, he was killed."

"How courageous you are to dare to kill people in the palace." Lu Chengwang was a little surprised: "Who is the deceased and from which family?"

"The deceased was a young housekeeper in my house. His clothes were taken off and he was bleeding from his orifices. He was killed by someone directly hitting his head with magic power."

"Someone wants to cause trouble at this time?" Lu Chengwang muttered: "Do you have any clues? I can also help."

"No need to bother Mr. Lu." Xiong Zhaolin said: "A group of clowns and remnants of the previous dynasty want to overthrow my century-old palace, and they don't overestimate their own capabilities!"

After that, Xiong Zhaolin stood up and said to the housekeeper: "Mobilize [Xiong Guard] to find the murderer!"

"Yes, head of the family!"
