Chapter 561

Xiao Yan frowned and kept rubbing his hands on the teacup. Seeing his thoughtful expression, Xun'er and the others stopped disturbing him and just waited quietly for his decision.

"call"

The silence lasted for nearly a few minutes. Xiao Yan finally let out a long breath, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll follow you guys! Just for fun."

"go!"

After saying this, Xiao Yan waved his hand and strode towards the door. After that, Xun'er and the three of them looked at each other, smiled, and quickly followed.

Walking out of the attic, there is a green avenue, and on both sides of the avenue are the residences of other freshmen of this year. Of course, compared with the small pavilions of Xiao Yan and the four of them, theirs is a little more simple. From this point of view, It seems that this kind of treatment is not available to everyone.

There were no traces of freshmen on the road at this time. They must have all gathered at the exit. Xiao Yan and the other three did not dare to neglect. They tapped their toes on the ground and turned into a wisp of smoke, facing the end of the avenue. Sweep away quickly.

Nearly four or five minutes later, Xiao Yan and the others who were speeding along slowed down and looked up at the end of the road. Sure enough, they saw a large number of people crowded here, and the noise of abuse was endless.

Waving slightly, Xiao Yan and the three of them approached the crowd. Some of the freshmen gathered around looked at Xiao Yan and the four of them, and couldn't help but have their faces full of joy. They were about to cheer, but were interrupted by Xiao Yan's gesture, and they hurriedly shut up. .

After greeting the freshmen, Xiao Yan and the four of them squeezed into the crowd, looking through the gaps in the crowd towards the exit.

At this time, the avenue exit was blocked by seven or eight old students wearing tower-shaped badges on their chests. Behind them, there were a large group of old students watching the fun. Obviously, they were very happy to see the new students frustrated, because many of them had passed this level back then.

Opposite the eight old students was Atai, who had just come to ask Xiao Yan for help. At this time, he was leading the new students to confront the old students with livid faces.

"No need to talk nonsense, boy, the tribute fee for new students has been the rule of the inner court for many years. We have not been harsh on you, so we should just hand it over obediently to save money and avoid disaster. Don't you understand?" A young man about twenty-five years old smiled and said to Artai and others who were facing him with ashen faces: "Two days of "fire energy" for each person will ensure that the guards are safe in the inner courtyard. This deal But it’s a good deal.”

"Hmph, don't think that because we are freshmen, we don't know the rules. Freshmen are indeed expected to pay "tribute fees" to old students, but there is also an unwritten rule in the inner courtyard. Freshmen can only give to two forces at most, and when paying to After taking over these two parties, if other forces still want to take it away, they have to go to those two forces and tell them that it has nothing to do with us." Artai snorted coldly and said angrily: "But you guys came here today, one after another. There are no less than five groups of forces, and we still have a lot of "fire energy" for you."

"Hehe, that's an ordinary situation, but aren't you freshmen very strong? In all these years, I have never heard of a freshman team being able to counterattack the old student team's fire energy in the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition". Since you are so unique, the rules for treating you must be special." The young man grinned.

"Furthermore, you are not as poor as ordinary freshmen now. You may have much more "fire energy" than some old students."

"You fart, we said that we will not give another "Fire Power". No matter whether we still have "Fire Power" or not, don't think so!" Artest scolded angrily with a livid face. Behind him, many freshmen were also full of satisfaction. With angry expressions on their faces, the repeated exploitation of these old students also made them completely angry.

"Hey, okay, very good. They are really tough people." Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sneered and said in a conspiratorial manner: "Boys, don't forget, this is not the outer courtyard, but the inner courtyard. Except for the arena, although no one can be harmed in other places, there will always be physical pain during the "sparring"."

"If you really don't pay today, then I'm not sure whether you will receive some unfair treatment after you walk out of here. Young people, don't be impulsive."

"You" looked at the young man with a sinister smile on his face, and the hearts of all the freshmen were on fire again, and their eyes were about to spit out fire.

"No need to be sure, the freshmen will not give you another half-day of "fire energy", and since this senior is here, how about you simply hand over the fire energy in your hands to us?" A faint sneer, suddenly rang out from the freshmen group.

"Who?"

His face quickly darkened, the young man's eyes swept across the freshmen coldly, his fists twisted slightly, and he said coldly: "As other people said, this freshmen are really arrogant. It seems that as seniors, we I have an obligation to let you understand the atmosphere of the inner courtyard."

"Haha, that's fine. Then I'll give you a lesson. How can the senior make me understand?" Laughter rang out again, and soon a path separated from the newcomers, and five figures, two men, three women, slowly walked out from the crowd.

"It's Senior Xiao Yan!"

Seeing the appearance of the four people, the surrounding freshmen suddenly burst into cheers. After the success of the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, Xiao Yan's reputation among the freshmen was already quite high.

"Xiao Yan? Is he the Xiao Yan who defeated Luo Hou?" Hearing the cheers around him, some of the old students who were watching the excitement outside the avenue couldn't help but shout in surprise, staring at him with a bit of strangeness. The young man in black robe.

"Are you Xiao Yan?"

Seeing the new students who were suddenly in high spirits, the few old students blocking the road exit also changed a bit. Obviously, they were quite afraid of Xiao Yan's name. After all, if they were really the rumored Dou Ling Strong ones, they can already be ranked at the top of the inner court's rankings!

Xiao Yan glanced at the young man with a changeable expression, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said with a smile: "I am Xiao Yan, does this senior have any advice?"

"Are you planning to be the first? Although you defeated Luo Hou, you still have to know that there are many people in the inner courtyard who are better than Luo Hou!" In front of a large audience, the young man did not want to lose face. He stepped back and could only stiffen his neck and snort coldly.

"Oh ho? Then when they came to me, they were saying, now, please take back your fire energy cards. The new students will ask you to collect 'protection fees'."    "You must not want to have peace in the future, right? "

boom!
  As Xiao Yan's voice fell, excitement suddenly filled the faces of the dozens of freshmen behind him. They stamped their feet on the ground, and fighting spirit surged out. For a time, dozens of fighting spirit momentum condensed together, and the pressure formed caused The old students quickly took a few steps back.

"You Xiao Yan, don't think that you can be arrogant because of the large number of people. We are from Qingshan. If you offend us in the inner courtyard." Being frightened by the momentum of the new students, the young man stepped back. His face couldn't help but look a little ugly, and he shouted angrily. warned. However, before his warning could be heard, the sound of breaking wind suddenly came. Immediately, a black shadow passed before his eyes, and his shoulders suddenly sank. The former suddenly discovered that a huge black ruler had been placed on his neck.

"Again, it's the time for freshmen to collect protection fees, so stop procrastinating~" Xiao Yan held the ruler in his left hand, his dark eyes staring closely at the young man who was sinking under the weight of the attack, Han Han vocal channel.

Looking at the coldness in Xiao Yan's eyes, the old student's throat rolled slightly, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He could feel that there was a real cold murderous aura in the words of the young man opposite him who was much younger than him.

"'Gudu'! Here...here..."

"Everyone, take out the fire cards~"

The heavy ruler moved slightly, and with the sound of breaking wind, it turned back to Xiao Yan's back. Xiao Yan retreated slowly, and finally retreated in front of Xun'er and the others.

"Okay, don't stand still, go get their protection money back!"

After hearing Xiao Yan's instructions, the freshmen's eyes immediately brightened, and they stepped forward directly. Under the gnashing eyes of the old students, they grabbed the fire energy cards from these old students and swiped them. Suddenly, in addition to the basic In addition to the five days of fire energy cards, the original number of days of fire energy of these old students, including the protection fees collected from the freshmen during this period, and the fire energy earned from the inner courtyard transactions were all removed.

Several people handed over all the collected fire energy. Xiao Yan just glanced at it, but did not put it away. Instead, let him return the protection money that has been plundered from the freshmen these days.

Hearing this, all the freshmen looked at Xiao Yan with even more fervor and reverence.

"Senior Xiao Yan, thank you again this time." The young man named Artai walked up with a smile and thanked Xiao Yan respectfully.

"We are all freshmen, so we naturally need to help each other, but I didn't expect that we successfully passed the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" and that we would get into such trouble." Xiao Yan shook his head and said helplessly.

"Oh, yes, this kind of thing rarely happens in these years, and most of the old students received this kind of treatment when they entered the inner courtyard. Now suddenly we see that our freshmen passed so swaggeringly, it is inevitable that they are a little bit My heart is unbalanced, I think, this time with the help of Senior Xiao Yan's name to scare these guys away, maybe some more will come in the future." Artai sighed and said.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that this is not a long-term solution."

The two were close to each other, and Xiao Yan's murmur naturally did not escape Artai's ears. His eyes brightened slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and then carefully considered his words: "Senior Xiao Yan, I don't know if you have established an institution in the inner courtyard. What is the plan of one party to protect itself?”

"Oh?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at the dark-skinned young man in front of him, but he looked quite capable.

"Haha, perhaps Senior Xiao Yan should also know that in this inner courtyard, there are quite a lot of forces, big and small, distributed in random directions. Moreover, the atmosphere of the inner courtyard does not stop these cliques, but rather encourages them. "The situation," Artest pondered.

"In the inner courtyard, generally speaking, unless a person is extremely strong, otherwise, there will be some unavoidable troubles if he hangs out alone. Let alone entering the "Tianburn Qi Refining Tower" to practice, this is The key to rapid improvement in strength for every student in the inner courtyard is something that everyone attaches great importance to. In the tower, each floor is divided into three levels of training places, high school and low. The speed and benefits will undoubtedly greatly exceed the latter two."

"And with Senior Xiao Yan's current reputation among the freshmen, it is entirely possible for the freshmen to form a new force! By then, our freshmen will also be able to reap more benefits!" Artai nodded heavily and said solemnly.

Xiao Yan crossed his fingers, but did not answer immediately.

"Senior Xiao Yan, if you have plans, you must seize the opportunity, because generally speaking, every time freshmen enter the inner courtyard, there will be other forces to pull them into their respective camps. At this time, the reputation of Senior Xiao Yan At its peak, if we give up and don’t use it, then if we think about it again then, I am afraid that everyone will have been dragged away by other forces. Moreover, if we new students can have a force of our own, it will be good for us. There is no doubt, therefore, as long as the seniors dare to take the lead, I dare say that no one among the freshmen will object," Artest said solemnly.

"You seem to know the inner courtyard very well?" Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then looked at Artai with some surprise. What this guy said was far beyond the knowledge of ordinary freshmen.

"Hehe, I know some friends in the inner courtyard, so I am quite clear about this information." Artai chuckled and said: "How about it? Senior Xiao Yan? As long as you agree, I will tell the freshmen. , there is no problem in keeping it.”

"Just call me Xiao Yan. Do you know how many students there are in the inner courtyard?" Xiao Yan smiled, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and asked.

"It should be close to a thousand. The exact number has never been measured." Artest thought for a moment and replied.

"Nearly a thousand? So many? There are only fifty new students entering the inner courtyard every year, and the students won't stay here forever, right?" Xiao Yan said with a bit of surprise.

"Haha, the inner academy has a five-year system. Students can practice here for five years. After five years, it is time to go their separate ways. Of course, if your talent is really outstanding, you can apply for an extension of two years. These remaining students , all of them are the pinnacle experts of the inner court, the top few on the "strong list". Although there are only fifty places to participate in the selection competition every year, this is not all of the inner court. Sometimes, if some elders go out and meet talents, Outstanding disciples can also become students of the inner court as long as they can pass the rigorous assessment of the inner court. In addition, there are special departments such as the alchemy department and the law enforcement team. They can also enter the inner court through other channels, so , after years of accumulation, it is not impossible to have nearly a thousand students in the inner courtyard." Artai smacked his lips and said in surprise.
