Qianxiang Baimei

Chapter 51 One Year

Winter goes to spring, spring ends to summer solstice, in the blink of an eye, the period of practice in the academy will be one year.

One year ago, on the third day of August, [-] children gathered in Huaguang County and were brought to Chufeng Academy by a Honglu cart. They were full of hope and longing for the future life; Eighteen people have gone through all kinds of unimaginable hardships in practice, and after thousands of tempers, there are still sixteen real dragons and phoenixes left.

In the hot summer, the academy is covered with dark green and light green everywhere. The courtyard walls of the students’ rooms are covered with withered, yellow and old green vines, and the wisteria flowers are falling heavily, just like the scene they saw when they first arrived at the academy a year ago.

Li Fei fastened his belt and took a look in front of the bronze mirror. The little girl in the mirror was wearing a fitted pink skirt with a thick braid, looking fresh and neat.Master bought this skirt for her a year ago, and it looked too big when she wore it, but it fits perfectly when she wears it again this year.

There was a packed package on the bed. In fact, she didn't bring anything to the academy, just a few old clothes and a few ingots of silver. When she opened the door between Qianxiang, she saw a lot of boxes and baggage piled up in the yard. Ji Tongzhou was leaning against the door with both hands empty, and the old god was on the ground instructing the dogs to help him pack his luggage.

Seeing Li Fei, he froze for a moment, a little unexpected, he was used to seeing her wearing a disciple's uniform, but now she was wearing a normal pink skirt, as if he couldn't recognize her.Last year she wore a skirt, which was so ugly that people couldn't comment on it, but this year it seemed like a different person.

"On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, we will meet at the capital of Yue King, don't forget." He reminded her.

Li Fei smiled and said: "I will never forget, I am still waiting to see the prince's mansion!"

Ji Tongzhou snorted and said with a smile: "There are also delicacies from mountains and seas, so that you can experience the style of the royal family."

Li Fei smiled and waved, and walked out of the courtyard.

The final test of the academy ended the day before yesterday, and all sixteen disciples passed the test, which means that the one-year academy practice is coming to an end, and the selection of new disciples of the major immortal sects will also begin.Before the selection of new disciples, the academy gave the disciples [-] days off to go home and have a look. After all, they have come to the academy to practice for a year, and the terrain here is so dangerous that even letters cannot be communicated. How can the children miss home?Even Baili Gelin and his children, who have lost their country and family, want to go back to their hometown to cherish their memories.

However, because Ye Ye and the others were hunted down by Wuzhang Mountain in front of them, and Zhen Yunzi was watching them behind, they originally planned to give up this rare opportunity with regret. Later, Lei Xiuyuan said that in the extraordinary period before the selection of new disciples, every The disciples were all in the spotlight, and no one dared to choose to do it at this time. In addition, Mr. Zuoqiu also knew their grievances, so he naturally took precautions, and the children happily decided to go back.

Li Fei walked slowly along the path in the courtyard, as if he had just arrived on the first day, seeing the scenery of the academy bit by bit. This time Yujian.

This is the place where they lived and practiced for a year, and it was also the first step for them to step into the gate of the fairy family. Cruel, it is the first time I know how to work together... Many firsts make the upcoming parting look sad.Even if I have the opportunity to come to the academy again in the future, I will not have the same state of mind as before, the kind of heart full of novel desires and expectations for the future.

Turning a corner, a lot of people had gathered in the open space in front of the disciple's house, and the gentlemen of each group were also present. The gentlemen all bid farewell to the disciples of their own group with gratification and emotion. A year of practice is like sculpting Like jade, it has polished the restrained brilliance of the disciples to a prototype. What else can make the gentlemen feel more fulfilled than these?

Hu Jiaping was talking to Baili Gelin and the others with a smile on his face. He was the first among the gentlemen to get in touch with these little devils. At that time, they didn't even know how to control the sword. They were all young and immature, and their height was less than his chest , One year passed, everyone's height increased a lot, Ye Ye almost reached his shoulder.

Seeing Li Fei approaching, Hu Jiaping smiled and said, "Girl, come here, I'll give you something nice."

Li Fei walked over curiously, but saw that he took out two talisman papers that he had never seen before, handed them over, and said, "This is from you and Lei Xiuyuan, hide it close to your body, if you meet in the past ten days or so, Whatever happens, activate the aura immediately, and you will be able to return to the academy right away."

Huh?There is such a good thing!It must have been prepared by Mr. Zuoqiu for them. Li Fei hurriedly folded the talisman carefully and stuffed it into his bosom. Suddenly, Hu Jiaping stretched out his big hand, pressed her head and rubbed it, and said with a smile: "You can do it!" Ah, successfully passed the final test."

Li Fei hurriedly protected the braids that he had managed to get neatly done, and said, "Then, that's thanks to your good teaching, sir..."

Wearing thousands of clothes, flattering but not wearing it, Hu Jiaping's face was almost full of straw paper with a smile: "You can really talk! Little girl, do you want to come to our Moonless Court? Moonless Court is very fun. Your Lei Xiuyuan comes together, so that you two don't have to separate."

Here he is taking advantage of the privilege of his husband to lure people around. Besides, how long has it been? Why does he still remember this embarrassing incident?
Hu Jiaping looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile. At first, the little girl who couldn't even learn how to control a sword, now proudly persisted to the end. Under the sun, her white face was delicate and delicate, like jade, thick and thick. Her braids are draped over her shoulders, her black feathers are like a crow, and there are several little boys around her who peek at her from time to time. If they don’t look at her every day, I can’t believe that she is the same as that rude boy-like girl a year ago. the same person.

Is this how it feels to have a young girl in my family?
The little girl Baili Gelin also came over and asked: "Sir, let us take fifteen days off, will Yujian have time? The last time the Honglu car flew from Huaguang County to the academy, it took more than 20 days! "

Hu Jiaping made a serious face on purpose: "How fast is Honglu flying? How fast are you flying Yujian? Disciples who can't even fly Honglu, simply don't come back to participate in the selection."

Baili Gelin made a face at him, and held Li Fei's hand again: "Li Fei, don't you really want to go to Gaul with us? I really want to show you the place where I used to live! ruins, haha!"

Li Fei shook his head: "Sorry, I want to go back to Qingqiu to see if Master is back."

It's been a year, and I don't know if the master has ever returned home, and if there will be any clues left behind, she must go back and have a look.

Ye Ye smiled and said: "Li Fei, let's go first, don't forget to meet at the Yue King's Capital on the [-]th day of August, brother Tong Zhou's delicacies, wines and fine wines are not to be missed in the palace."

Li Fei couldn't help laughing, but now Ye Ye and Ji Tongzhou have the best friendship. They are both princes and they can talk very well. In addition, Ye Ye has experienced the cold and warm world, and he is very stable and tolerant. Ji Tongzhou Zhou's bad temper has subsided a lot after being with him for a long time, they call each other brothers when they have nothing to do, and are often made fun of by Baili Gelin.

After saying goodbye to Ge Lin and the others, Li Fei looked around. Even Ji Tongzhou and Princess Lan Ya packed up a lot of things and came out, but Lei Xiuyuan was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he left first?Don't even say hello?
Li Fei pulled Hu Jiaping's sleeve and asked, "Sir, have you seen Xiu Yuan?"

Hu Jiaping clicked his tongue twice: "Xiu-yuan... Mister didn't see it, you can look for it yourself."

This gentleman's strange tone is really hopeless, the relationship between them has been very harmonious for more than half a year, most of them don't care about the past, and they don't call each other by their first names anymore, I don't know why he was surprised.

Li Fei walked quickly back to the disciple's room, knocked on the door between Jingxuan and waited for a long time, but no one opened the door, she simply pushed the door and went in, but saw that the room was neat and tidy, and there was no one there.Having said that, it seems that it is also the first time for her to come to Jingxuanjian. As the name suggests, this room is very quiet, and the hustle and bustle outside cannot be heard here.

The table and the bed were clean, except for the change of disciple clothes hanging on the hanger, there were no personal items in the room. Is this how he usually lives?
The disciple's clothes are still there, which means that others have not left. Li Fei left Jingxuan, and simply got up with his sword, and searched back and forth on the island of the disciple's room. After a while, he saw it under the deepest shelf full of wisteria flowers. A boy in a student uniform.

He is the only person in the whole academy who can wear the student uniforms so elegantly and neatly. Li Fei jumped off the stone sword and called out: "Xiu Yuan, so you are here."

Lei Xiuyuan turned around, with a flash of surprise on his face, he looked at the burden on her shoulders, and said, "Everything is packed? Are you going?"

Seeing that he was still wearing a disciple's uniform, Li Fei was even more surprised: "What about you? You're not going back?"

His voice was very indifferent: "I have nothing to go back to."

Why not?Li Fei was about to refute, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong. He was not Mr. Lei's biological child, and he had a lot of troubles. I am afraid that he would not want to go back to the sad place in Gaul. As for Brother Lu, he was dead, so he went back alone The old residence just adds to the sadness, and it is impossible to go back to the foot of Xingzhengguan Mountain. He really has nothing to go back to.

She shouldn't have said anything immediately, and looked at him blankly, but Lei Xiuyuan smiled at her, and said softly: "This skirt is very suitable for you now."

She looked down at Luo Qun, which was just the right size, touched her head, and said, "Xiu Yuan, do you want to go to Qingqiu with me?"

He seemed a little surprised by her invitation, he looked stunned and didn't answer.

Li Fei said again: "You can see the scenery of Qingqiu with your own eyes, and I can also take you to Hukou Cliff. By the way, the mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the mountains are delicious. After we have visited Qingqiu, we will drop by to Yue The country is looking for Ji Tongzhou, his family is rich, and he can eat all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas."

Lei Xiuyuan looked at her for a while, thought for a while, and said lightly, "Why did you invite me?"

Why?Li Fei shrugged his shoulders: "Is there any reason for this? I invite my friends to play at home, do I need a reason?"

He laughed: "There is really no need for a reason."

Li Fei smiled and said, "Really? Then let's go?"

Lei Xiuyuan lowered his head as if thinking about it, narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, and thought for a long time, for a long time, until Li Fei raised his hand to hit him: "Hurry up, are you coming?"

He held her wrist and said with a smile, "well, I'll go."

Li Fei immediately beamed with joy, she seldom smiled like this so much that her face pouted, recently she smiled more often, she used to always have a zombie face, with dark skin and concise speech, she looked like a boy, but later It turned white, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, and became a little beauty in an instant, but she was not as expressive as other girls, and she always seemed to have an unfriendly temperament. Many male disciples only dare to occasionally He sneaked a few glances at her, not daring to strike up a conversation.

But the way she pouted with a smile was so cute that Lei Xiuyuan had the urge to poke her finger, and suddenly she stuffed herself with a talisman and said, "Hu Jiaping gave it to you, put it close to you, if you encounter anything In the event of an accident, just run the spiritual energy, and you can return to the academy in an instant."

Li Fei saw that he put away the talisman paper, and he seemed to leave as soon as he said it, so he couldn't help but wondered: "Aren't you packing your things? Just wearing a disciple's uniform?"

The red and white uniforms of the academy's disciples are intertwined, and the style is also unusual. To be honest, it is a bit conspicuous to walk outside.

"I have nothing, and I can't fit my old clothes anymore."

Alas, this is the sorrow of children from poor families. When they come, they come with empty sleeves, and when they go, they also have empty sleeves. They can’t even take their clothes with them. Look at Ji Tongzhou, the things he packs can fit a carriage. Same.

Li Fei fumbled for the silver ingots in the bag. When she came, the master left her 50 taels. After coming to the academy, she hardly spent any money. The rest was enough to buy some new clothes and shoes for the two of them.

"Let's go to Lugong Town first, and buy some clothes and shoes." She smiled and grabbed Lei Xiuyuan's sleeves, and strode out, "I haven't been home for a long time, and I don't think anything can be used anymore. The first time I bring a friend home, it shouldn’t be too shabby, and I’ll buy some necessities by the way.”
