At the end of a street across a river from Qingshang Izakaya was a favorite gathering place for local children. It was called "Willow Town" because of a large willow tree whose age was unknown.
It was called Willow Town, but it was actually only a hundred feet wide. It was probably because children liked to give their secret bases magnificent names that they had such an exaggerated name.
There were no decent houses here. There was only a wooden shed that the Shōnen Gang had randomly built. Inside lived a group of the most powerful " Town Elders " of Yanagi Town. The important leader of the group was called Hirisaki Shubing.
Xiubing originally lived in a place further away from Jingling Palace. However, ever since he was saved by a god of death when he was young, he had made up his mind to work hard for Zhenyang Spiritual Academy. In order to take the examination nearby, he had moved to Runlin 'an.
When he first arrived, Xiu Bing and his two companions were staying at the water shop owner's place to work. They were involved in the chaos of the Liu Ting youth gang. After showing off their skills, they were carried into the only wooden house in Liu Ting by the people shouting "Master Xiu Bing".
After that, no matter how many times he wanted to leave, his underlings would always try to persuade him to stay. He had no choice but to reluctantly agree to stay here. However, he did not care about any internal strife in the sect and only trained his body and spiritual power every day. Then, he would use the money he saved to buy books to learn how to read.
"Boss is the most talented person in Liu Ting! Today, he was reading a very profound book!”
He often became the center of everyone's conversation.
"Profound? I'm afraid you don't even know the name of that book!”
"So what? He's very powerful anyway.”
"This is nothing!"
"If you're not convinced, why don't you go and ask Boss for confirmation?”
"…Hmph, I don't want to do such a meaningless thing.”
"I think you're just a coward! Humph!"
Such conversations often happened in the vicinity, but Xiubing always ignored them. It was just that day by day, his power became stronger and stronger. Finally, it was the beginning of spring. Xiu Bing thought that he should go to the Spiritual Academy to try his skills.
However, until this day, the protagonist of our story has never had any interaction with Xiubing, who is just across the street.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Eh? Are you going to take the exam this year?"
The business of the Aogami Izakaya was as good as ever. At the special table, Hai Qing asked as she stuffed her mouth with food. The small plates on the table could not fit her mouth at all, so they were piled up so high that they almost covered her head.
Joe was already used to her good appetite, so he maintained a calm smile.""That's right. Although I know it's a little hard for me now, it's not a bad thing to understand the standards of others.”
"You're quite open-minded." Hai Qing swallowed the meatball in her mouth and raised half of her eyebrows." What if I'm defeated in such a place where there are so many experts that I don't want to go there a second time?"”
"It won't happen."
"I believe you won't, but there are always accidents. Are you underestimating psychological trauma?”" I was disgusted by caterpillars when I was young," Hai Qing said seriously." The thing I'm most afraid of now is insects, those soft, sticky, and furry insects. I get goosebumps just by looking at them!”
"Is that so?" Joe drew a circle on the cup with his fingertip, a little absent-minded." Even so, how will we know the result if we don't try?”
"..." Hai Qing stared at her for a while before she looked away as if she had given up." Alright, but I won't accompany you." For the time being, I don't want to go to that place to suffer.”
However, the other party had an expression of having expected this."It's okay. I can do it alone.”
She had always been very strong. Although her strength was average, she was unwilling to rely on others. Hai Qing believed that this was Jiu Nanqiao's strength, but also her greatest weakness. Such a person would sooner or later run into a wall because of this, but he also had unlimited vitality, which was essential to survive in this world.
Then, the topic of conversation between the two changed from philosophy of life to decadence.
Qiao had been training at Kong He's place for more than half a year. She had only just entered the basics of physical techniques, and her endurance was far from enough. Fortunately, she had some confidence in her spiritual power control and theoretical knowledge. In summary, her decision to go to the Spiritual Academy to test the waters was not a sudden one. Ji Zi also supported her to go to the world of the strong to see their fighting methods as soon as possible, just like Hai Yan, who insisted on the principle of " chasing is strength."
The calendar gradually thinned. On the first day of March, it was finally the day of Zhenyang Spiritual Academy's enrollment test.
"Where's the lunchbox?"
Xiao Zou was still worriedly nagging.
"Yes, look." Joe patted the bag on his back and smiled.
"Hmm…Where's Miss Ji Zi's signature amulet?”Xiao Zou thought of something and raised his voice.
"Ah, you mean that leaf-shaped hair clip?”
"Of course."
"I've been carrying it with me." Joe took out the crystal clear jade from her lapel. After a while, she pinned it in her hair." This way, I won't lose it."”
She liked this hair clip very much. It was of good quality and was not cheap. Moreover, it suited her skin color very well. Most importantly, this was a treasure given to her by Ji Zi. She did not dare to accidentally give it to a thief.
Xiao Zou went back and forth to check if he had forgotten something before patting Joe's shoulder in encouragement.""Yuxi, then I wish you a prosperous martial arts luck!”
"Thank you!"
The two of them joked with each other in a serious manner. Then, Xiao Zou watched as the girl, who was younger than him, left the Qingshang Izakaya and set off in the direction of the Quiet Spirit Pavilion not far away. After she had walked away, Xiao Zou put away the smile on his face and lowered his head in self-mockery.
"You've already walked so far…"
Only I am still there, enjoying this insignificant happiness. He was willing to wait at this small shop in the corner of Liuhun Street and work day after day. The only improvement he made was that his cooking skills were much better than before. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to accompany Miss Ji Zi for the rest of his life until he left this shop…
"But I still think I'm right. Good luck there, Kunan.”
Xiao Zou didn't turn back. He walked straight into the shop under the dim light of dawn and began to prepare for a new day.
An ordinary life on Liuhun Street that belonged to her.
The camera continued to follow Jiu Nanqiao.
Today was a big day for Liu Hun Street, because elite young men and women from all over the world would come to Zhen Yang Spiritual Academy to participate in the selection.
Every year, less than a hundred people managed to pass the examination, but this did not stop their enthusiasm for coming here. After all, if they were lucky, entering the Tranquil Palace would not be as simple as standing out. Not only would they become famous among the residents of Liuhun Street, but they would also be able to step into a new world.
" Lingjing Palace…This is the first time I've seen it so close up. It's indeed different from looking from afar. There's an indescribable sense of grandeur…"
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Repentance Palace. The pure white fusiform building was not like the products of the same world compared to all the houses on the street of flowing souls. As it was still early in the morning, a faint mist enveloped the sky above Jingling Palace, adding a bit of the charm of a fairyland.
So she couldn't help but sigh,"It's so beautiful.”
"Hey, are you here for the exam?" A guard with a silver spear noticed her and frowned." Don't stay here. Go in quickly. It'll be a mess if there are more people!"”
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
She hurriedly apologized and did not dare to look around. She walked quickly to the main hall of the Zhenyang Spiritual Academy. The only impression she had was that the huge square tiles on the ground had been polished until they shone brightly, reflecting the strong sunlight like mirrors.
