“You You.”

“You You?”

Guan Heng shouted a few times, but the youth beside him didn’t react in the slightest.

Xie Ziyou stood silently at the side with his arms crossed. His eyelashes drooped, and he didn’t make a sound. His beautiful peach blossom eyes weren’t as lively as they used to be.

It was really strange.

Guan Heng raised his head, squinted his eyes, and gazed at the thousand-meter-tall mountain peak in the distance.

At the peak of the mountain, under the cluster of white clouds, a gigantic object quietly floated. It cast a dim shadow on the ground, shrouding the entire mountain forest in darkness.

After all, Guan Heng was born in a remote little town, so he didn’t recognize this profound ship that was driven by profound energy and had exquisite technology.

But he could still recognize the dense mass of black shadows that were falling like dumplings — especially when those black shadows landed around their residence. The dark blue profound energy surrounding them suddenly exploded, creating a deep crater on the ground and sending sand and sand flying everywhere.

This wasn’t a big deal. At most, there were large sects that came to Luo Ridge to train, and they could just hide.

But You You … Why did he look so worried?

Xie Ziyou was indeed in a bad mood for no reason, but this wasn’t the reason he was in a daze.

As the villain and the Golden Finger System, he was already busy and tired from playing two roles in the past.

Now that these two identities were gathered together, he really didn’t have the ability to split his attention between two tasks. His main body was talking to Wu Cong, so he naturally neglected a lot of things.

Seeing that he couldn’t move him, Guan Heng could only sigh helplessly and sit down cross-legged next to a maple tree opposite Xie Ziyou.

He didn’t know who the newcomer was, and You You was preoccupied. He had to guard him.

The two of them stood and sat down. Not long after, the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard from nearby, interspersed with the fawning voice of a young man.

“This Central Academy’s assessment is too easy, we can just lie down and pass!”

“Brother Wu is so strong, and he has a brother who’s a deputy examiner. Who wouldn’t kneel down and kowtow to Brother Wu and hand over the jade bracelet with both hands?”

Central Academy?

The wind carried a voice that was suddenly loud and suddenly weak. Guan Heng’s sharp senses caught a few words, and his ears trembled as his brows gradually furrowed.

Everything from two years ago quietly surfaced in the young man’s mind. Every frame was clear and distinct.

His father’s face was flushed red, glaring angrily at him, the vines in the narrow courtyard wantonly dancing wildly, the cold blades in the hands of the maids covered in gauze, Hong ‘er’s smile was as tender as a spring flower, the golden and fragrant apples quietly rolling down, the blades of the grass were sharp, and the wind was like cutting through the air …

Memory fragments whizzed past, and in the deepest recesses, there was a beautiful figure coldly looking back. The Ice Spirit Flower on her forehead was enshrouded in cold air, and her gaze was as cold as ice.

The sound of rustling footsteps came closer and closer.

Guan Heng suddenly stood up, and with a slight shake of his feet, he silently stood behind the nearest locust tree.

Xie Ziyou pretended to be in a daze, but in reality, he had been quietly observing Guan Heng’s movements.

Following Guan Heng’s movement, his eyes suddenly regained their luster. He quietly stopped breathing, stood on his tiptoes, and looked over Guan Heng’s shoulder, and looked forward.

Through the grass that was half the height of a person, Xie Ziyou slightly narrowed his eyes, and vaguely made out the silhouettes of two youths in the distance.

One of them was dressed in yellow cedar, with sharp eyebrows and thin eyes. His back was slightly bent, and he bowed respectfully at the back.

The person walking in front was dressed in a clean, narrow sleeve riding attire. His clothes were as black as ink, and his eyes were sharp and fierce.

The black-clothed youth’s expression was dark as he strode through the forest.

When he heard the yellow cedar youth beside him mention the words “Deputy Examiner” and “Big Brother,” the coldness in his eyes became even more intense. He exerted force under his feet, and his profound energy vibrated, instantly crushing a few yellowed fallen leaves into pieces.

The youth rebuked angrily, “Get lost. Today is my examination, not his. Is this a small matter worth bothering Brother Cong? Is he my father?”

The yellow cedar youth was shaken by the roar, and he smiled awkwardly. He immediately put on an apologetic smile.

His tone changed, and he said fawningly, “Yes, yes, yes. Brother Wu is handsome, elegant, and elegant. Everyone loves him, and the flowers bloom when they see him … It’s just a small entrance examination, and Brother Wu will be able to destroy the entire examination room in minutes. Once you get first place, you can stand in front of Senior Wu Cong and give him a shock. That’s what it means to be domineering! ”

“… Let me see your flowers bloom?”

“Uh … Brother Wu, I was just describing you as good-looking …”

“Alright, if you can’t speak, then shut up,” Wu Zhengying said coldly. “If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute.”

Having once again flattered him, the yellow cedar youth could only smile bitterly and shut his mouth.

The mountain breeze was quiet, and the maple forest rustled. Layers upon layers of leaves blotted out the sky and the sun, and the moisture exuded by the roots was faintly sticky.

Wu Zhengying’s heart was filled with anger, and as soon as she was enveloped by the moist water vapor, she was immediately filled with resentment.

The youth knew that even if he got first place, he would only be repeating his older brother’s previous accomplishments. Wu Cong would never think highly of him because of this.

His older brother had always been arrogant, and had always only paid attention to outstanding geniuses. When had he ever paid attention to his younger brother, who was hobbling and chasing after him?

Just like this time, he had waited day and night for Central Academy’s enrollment day.

The youth had been in high spirits and wanted to report to his older brother. However, he was told that Wu Cong had gone out with the elites of the clan to capture the Shark King in the South Sea.

Damn it!

Wu Zhengying was so angry that his teeth itched.

What Fairy Xie? She was just a little girl with slow growth.

She was even flat-chested!

She only had a face, so why did she need to attract his older brother’s attention?

His older brother had actually completely forgotten that he was going to participate in this year’s assessment!

Wu Zhengying’s heart was sour and bitter, and he felt wronged.

His footsteps quickened, his toes tapping together, and he practically leaped forward.

“Snap.”

Suddenly, he felt a soft sensation beneath his feet, followed by the crisp sound of plants snapping.

Wu Zhengying lowered his head and glanced.

He saw a small square field in the middle of the mountain field. The field was crowded with charmingly naive little black mushrooms. They held small umbrellas and took root on the ground like mini bears.

The mushroom cap glowed like a film, sparkling and translucent under the sunlight, and there was a faint stream of light.

His footsteps just now happened to step on the mushroom cluster. Countless simple and honest “little bears” were flattened by him, and the round white mushroom stalks were snapped at the waist. They hung miserably on the canopy, lying on the ground.

“Strange.”

Those clusters of mushrooms, however, had some signs of growing into spirit plants.

But it didn’t matter. The youth thought to himself, the Wu family was a big family. How could he not eat some spirit plants every month to nourish his five viscera?

A little mushroom wasn’t worth his attention.

Right now, he had more important things to do, such as snatching the jade bracelet and taking first place …

“Hey!”

A clear voice came from behind a tree at the side, causing Wu Zhengying’s eyes to light up.

“You’ve finally caught me!” He sneered, his sleeve slightly moved, and with a “swoosh” sound, the sword was already in his hand.

The tip of the sword was cold, and it was suffused with a cold light. It pointed directly at the person who spoke from behind the tree. Bright yellow profound energy shot out from the bottom of his feet, intertwining like a whirlwind, wrapping Wu Zhengying in layers of protection.

The profound energy of the earth attribute was thick and solid. When attacking, it had boundless strength, and when defending, it was nicknamed as an unbreakable tortoise shell. It was only slightly inferior in terms of speed and agility.

However, the Wu clan was wealthy, so they naturally had many ways to make up for this weakness.

His left hand quietly reached behind his back, and touched a sharp silver object in his pocket. Wu Zhengying’s confidence doubled.

His eyes slightly narrowed, and his gaze was like lightning, locked onto the person standing in front of him.

Behind the tree stood a young man who had yet to reach the age of Weak Crown.

He had wheat skin, and his facial features were as handsome as a chisel. The corners of his lips curled up habitually, making him look gentle and harmless. Only his pair of black eyes were as clear as the stars.

“You stepped on the mushroom I planted.” He raised his head slightly, and said softly.
