Ascension

Chapter 73 Knights Running Contest (Please order first!)
"..."

The spring is bright and beautiful, even the wind is warm.

In the Hutou courtyard, you can see verdant old trees everywhere, with their branches coiled and growing vigorously.

And those flowers swaying inadvertently, red like fire, yellow like gold, dotted among them, this is the beauty of life.

but……

Lord Ye Han raised his head, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.

In front of him, the pink ostrich stood tall, with a tuft of colorful feathers on its head, so conspicuous and abrupt.

I haven't seen you for a long time, but I actually got a hairstyle?

Although it is just a simple dyeing and ironing, it has not yet risen to a particularly complicated weaving.

But this big pink is matched with colorful colors, and it has a proud look of "look at me, look at me".

Is there something wrong with Su Mei's aesthetics, or is this ostrich... just not taking the usual path?

"The ostrich...the ostrich likes bright colors..."

"Let it be dyed a solid color, it is not happy..."

Seeing Master Han's twitching eyes, Su Mei timidly introduced.

"..."

"It can only be said...very personal."

Mr. Yehan shook his head and commented accordingly.

After saying that, he took a step sideways, and his eyes, already as calm as the sea, locked on the stunned strong man.

"Is your toothed deer really exhausted?"

A light voice, a calm tone.

The strong man's expression changed slightly.

Even though he concealed it well, the swollen throat and sneering expression were faintly different from before.

"Brother, what do you mean..."

The strong man tried to defend himself, but Mr. Ye Han suddenly interrupted, his voice turned colder:
"It seems to be walking hard and staggering."

"But every step it takes is actually very stable."

"I must praise you for this. It must have taken a lot of thought to educate the wild beast into a half-player, right?"

"Hahaha……"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the strong man's forehead, "What are you talking about, it doesn't look like acting?"

"Look, its hair is soaked, and there are solidified salt crystals. It's not on the verge of exhaustion. How can it be fake?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and fulfill the contract according to the previously negotiated content!"

Mr. Yehan was too lazy to argue with him, so he showed his assistant badge and said coldly:
"Or, do you insist on letting me report to the academy to expose your speculation and making money?"

"..." The burly man's face turned blue and white, and there was a flash of fear visible to the naked eye.

After a few seconds, he patted the back hoof of the toothed deer, lowered his head and apologized:

"Sorry, I was greedy."

"I'll move it here for you. I promise there will be no mistakes. Please hold your hand high and let the villain go."

"Move first."

Mr. Yehan glanced at him, his expression indifferent.

I can't perceive emotions such as hatred and hatred, but fear occupies my heart.

Over half a century old and still at the first rank, one is suspected to be an F-rank "driver" and the other is suspected to be an F-rank "porter".

As for the toothed deer and Li Yuan, although they are both the embryos of clay sculptures, they are perfect.

But callused hooves, and thinning hair, meant that old age was the end of this life's potential.

Lord Yehan paid attention, but didn't worry too much.

Staring at some spirit stones and selling miserably, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this kind of person can't make waves.

"Roar……"

Under his silent stare, the toothed deer stopped in front of the opposite villa.

Li Yuan followed behind, and his lord - another strong man in gray clothes.

Quickly open the box and work together to move the contents.

"No. 222, just across from me?"

"Yeah, this neighborhood is pretty empty, so it's more convenient to live next door to Master Han."

Su Mei smiled brightly, and the pink ostrich seemed to feel her excitement, and quacked twice towards the sky.

"Look at them. If you deliberately damage your things, let them compensate you according to the price."

"Okay!" Su Mei nodded, and asked nervously, "Master Han, do I look like a foolish person who is easy to bully?"

"If they were replaced by vicious male students, wouldn't they dare to lie to others?"

"Maybe." Lord Yehan said casually, "Don't think too much about it, and don't take it to heart."

"But you have to seriously understand that there are many malicious people in this world. Whether it's real interests or life safety, you have to learn to protect yourself."

Su Mei nodded thoughtfully.

Half an hour later, all the contents of the box were moved into the villa.

After directing Liyuan to adjust the positions of all the furniture and instruments, Su Mei paid 8 low-grade spirit stones, and the two strong men nodded and bowed, and left with smiles.

"Huh... moving is really troublesome, I've been busy all morning!"

Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief when the outsiders left.

In front of Master Han, she didn't need to hide her exhaustion.

"You also have a personality."

Mr. Yehan took a brief tour and checked it by the way. There were no wiretapping runes or other things left, and everything was normal.

As for his slightly tongue-twisting place, it was because Su Mei was young and didn't really like to dress up.

To be precise, she doesn't have too many fancy clothes, and even less cosmetics.

But there are at least twenty sets of training suits and practice suits.

Dark copper heavy armor, snake scale light armor, tough leather armor... Armors with different functions, half body, full body, and no less than 200 low-grade spirit stones smashed into them.

"You...you still keep such a large training device in your residence?"

Mr. Yehan has always felt that the personal castle where the family resides is too big, and a small and exquisite villa like Canghai Pavilion is quite satisfactory to live in.

But Su Mei really has something on her.

She bought several particularly expensive large machines, one for body balance and one for strength training.

The most outrageous thing is that there is a five-meter-high mushroom-shaped giant container, which is actually the granary of the ostrich, hiding a bunch of delicious snacks.

Just—spend the money indiscriminately?

Mr. Yehan is really not sour. These things look high-end, but they are actually crudely made, more like an IQ tax.

If you have time to use these low-quality things, it is better to have a few actual battles, the effect of improvement is completely different.

"My father, let's say he is the mayor of a small town in the Blue Frog Country, is a small nobleman."

"As the eldest daughter of the family, I had my own small treasury before I was an adult."

"Last year, I finally awakened to power. When my father was happy, he even promised me 100 low-grade spirit stones as pocket money every month."

"Then... when I first entered the Canghai Pavilion, because I had a large amount of spiritual stones in my hand, and I was in a happy mood..."

"I just bought and bought all kinds of things, wasting a lot of money..."

It was rare for Su Mei to blush, and for the first time she took the initiative to introduce her family background.

This is about the same as Mr. Yehan estimated. Compared with ordinary students, this girl's family background is much better, and the label of little rich woman cannot escape.

"That's right, Master Han."

"When I stayed up late last night with my ostrich to dye my hair, I met a classmate who was in class with me yesterday. I heard from her that Pu Chenlong was looking for you."

"His tons of pigs don't seem to be in serious trouble. He is very grateful to you and wants to thank you in person. Look..."

"Oh, leave him alone."

Lord Yehan said indifferently:

"I don't care about such trivial matters."

"But I also heard that..."

Su Mei hesitated, and said with a little worry:

"There have been sporadic gossip news, mentioning that 'the witch in the rescue center has disappeared' and 'the witch is suspected of being signed a contract'."

"In addition, because the students who attended class yesterday were full of praise and approval for you, it is inevitable that someone will inquire about you behind your back. By the way, people will hear the information of 'mysterious teaching assistant' and 'pale-faced teaching assistant' one after another."

"I'm worried that it will continue to ferment. The two incidents will merge into one. Sooner or later, Master Han will stand on the stage with strange eyes..."

"Why, are you scared?" Lord Ye Han raised the corner of his mouth, "I'm not a mouse, why do I always hide in the dark?"

"It's just a little trade-off, let me avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible at this embarrassing stage."

"But if trouble really comes, there's nothing you can do about it. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, that's all."

"It turns out that Master Han knows it well~"

Hearing what the master said, Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief and felt confident.

She frowned with her pretty willow leaves, and asked in thought:

"Then on my side, do I need to express as soon as possible that I have an overly close teacher-student relationship with Master Han?"

"For your safety, you should evade when it's time to evade."

Lord Ye Han shook his head:
"Including the authority of a super knight, you'd better not expose it all at once, in case you suddenly become stronger and then be targeted by someone with a heart."

"Ah..." Su Mei whispered, "Then, shouldn't I participate in the knight running competition at noon, and it would be better to just withdraw from the competition?"

"Riding knight competition?" Mr. Ye Han asked back.

"Aren't there all kinds of competitions in the academy? Some are held regularly, and some are held randomly."

"Well, I've heard of that." Mr. Yehan nodded, "In higher-level competitions, there will be rewards after winning, especially the "Star of Excellence", which is of great significance to students. "

"That's right!" Su Mei said obediently, "This time, in the Knights Run Contest, it is said that No. 2 in each group will have a star."

"I signed up a long time ago, but I wasn't sure. I just wanted to see the world. If I could make some powerful knight friends and learn from each other's growth experience, I would be satisfied."

"This kind of competition with fixed authority... Whether it's contestants or spectators, the audience should be quite limited, right?"

Mr. Ye Han stood in a standing posture, holding his right elbow with his left hand, pinching his chin with his thumb, and said carefully:

"If you have a chance to get a star of excellence, you might as well give it a try."

"Don't forget, your master ring is a passive power, completely closed, you are still a standard knight."

"If there are stronger competitors, then activate some of them a little bit."

"By taking advantage of the weakened ability to ride the wind, coupled with the pink ostrich who is good at stamina and speed, people of the same rank who are better at running than you are probably rare."

"Master Han allows me to compete?" Su Mei's eyes lit up, and she became a little excited.

In the six months since she was admitted to the hospital, she hasn't even won a star of excellence.

This also made her rank at the bottom of the rising star list.

Compared with the new family members in the same period, this is a result close to the end of the crane, and the sense of presence is extremely low.

just now……

Is the chance to pick the stars finally here?
