Chapter 1209: An Unexpected Encounter

Xuanhuang Prefecture, Li Guo.

On top of a huge mountain peak, stands a huge building, and outside the mountain gate is written four big characters "Seven Star Academy".

At the foot of the mountain, seven small cities stand on the mountain and are known as the Seven Son Cities.

One of them, Xingzi City, is the smallest ancient city in the Seven Son Cities, with a population of only more than 100,000 people, and it is difficult to become a "city" of this scale in the Immortal Cultivation Realm or many places!

At this time, Xingzi City was unusually lively, in just a few days, gathered monks from all over the world, the entire ancient city suddenly became crowded, the major inns were overcrowded, and even many tents were set up outside the ancient city, and tens of thousands of monks lived.

All of this is thanks to the Seven Star Academy on the mountain.

Every ten years, the Seven Star Academy will recruit new disciples and conduct assessments, and those who successfully pass the assessment can become disciples of the Seven Star Academy and enter the school.

And this year, it was the last day for the Seven Star Academy to recruit new disciples, and there were only a thousand places left, and the location was set in Star City.

Therefore, countless monks inside and outside Li were attracted to it, and they all wanted to seize this last opportunity to win one of the thousand places and worship in the Seven Star Academy.

In Xuanhuang Prefecture, the academy is the best springboard and the best cradle.

Studying in the academy not only gives you access to a large number of methods and resources, but once you graduate from the academy, you can also become a gentleman or be introduced to the major sects, which is definitely easier than being a casual cultivator.

This is like the entertainment industry, many people want to be admitted to various film music art academies, and then through the qualifications or connections learned in the academy, they will enter the entertainment industry and become a famous star.

Although the sects in Xuanhuang Prefecture will also recruit new disciples, most of them will give priority to those cultivated by the academy before considering casual cultivation.

Therefore, no matter which academy recruits students, whether they have strength or luck, there will always be countless monks who will rush to participate.

At this moment, in the Star City.

An old woman in a Taoist robe was walking down the street, followed by a young woman, with a long dress as white as snow, a delicate face, and a skin like cream.

She led a horse, with a hint of fatigue between her brows, but always with a determined look.

She had a thought that she couldn't fall down, that she couldn't give up.

"Yuxi, let's take a rest here!" At this time, the old woman who was walking in front suddenly stopped and whispered.

The woman was slightly stunned, and then saw the old woman parked outside a resting house.

"Master, is this the one that your friend opened?" the woman asked.

"Yes, let's go in with the teacher, the horses will stay here for the time being, and someone will come and take them away later. The old woman nodded, and stepped into the rest stack with a blank face.

"Yes!" the woman answered, and then let go of the reins of the horse, and followed the old woman in.

A moment later, a middle-aged shopkeeper personally received the old woman and the woman.

The woman stood aside and did not speak, but from the conversation between the old woman and the middle-aged shopkeeper, she understood that the old woman's friend was actually the shopkeeper's father, but he had passed away.

Although the middle-aged shopkeeper has a warm smile on his face, the woman always feels that it is a kind of skin smile that is not smiling, and it is very fake!

Eventually, the old and the young were placed in a simple and remote firewood house.

Seeing that the surroundings were covered with dust and a musty smell in the air, the woman frowned lightly and said in a deep voice: "Master, that person is too much, he actually let you live in such a place, and the disciple will reason with him." ”

"That's it, Yuxi, people are warm and the world is cold, don't you understand this simple truth?" the old woman waved her hand lightly and sighed.

"But Master, your illness ......"

"Hehe, could it be that if you change to a better place, you can get better for the teacher's illness? Forget it, now that the Seven Star Academy is enrolling, it would be nice if people could give a firewood room!" the old woman smiled kindly.

The woman couldn't help but be stunned, and she had the impression that this was one of the few smiles that the master had.

But seeing Master's smile, she was very uneasy, as if she felt that Master was about to leave.

"Yuxi, I have something to say to you!" At this time, the old woman spoke again, and her tone was very gentle.

"Master, please speak!" The woman hurriedly helped the old woman aside, and directly used her white skirt sleeves to remove the dust on it, and let the old woman sit down.

The old woman looked at the woman's movements, nodded and smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her smile and a little reluctance.

"Now that the life of the teacher is coming to an end, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you for long......"

"Master!"

"Yuxi, don't interrupt me! When the teacher brought you over, he wanted to give you a transformation, but he didn't think that the creation had not been given to you, but the teacher had to take the first step! However, this enrollment of the Seven Star Academy is not a creation for you, after you enter the Seven Star Academy, remember to cultivate well, everything that the teacher can teach you has already taught you, and the rest depends on your own creation!"

"Master, it's all my fault, if it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't be like this!" the woman said, tears already streaming from her eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, if it wasn't for the teacher who brought you out, how could you fall into such a trap?"

"No, Master, I begged you to bring me here, I was looking for someone, but I didn't expect that this world is so big, this road is so difficult, and it hurts you......"

"Then do you regret coming out to him?"

"I'm ......" the woman paused slightly.

But her firm eyes have spoken for themselves, she doesn't regret it, she never regrets it!

The old woman looked at her and smiled, but she didn't mention it anymore, but opened her mouth and instructed: "Yuxi, you remember, next time you can't take out the seven-star order easily, no one can save the teacher's illness, even if you take the seven-star order to exchange for more pills, it can only make the teacher live a few more painful days!"

"Master, I remember!" the woman nodded.

"Okay, then the teacher will be relieved......" After the old woman finished speaking, her eyes slowly closed and left with a smile.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and the whole person was completely stunned.

She didn't expect her master to leave like this and leave so suddenly.

Despite the serenity on her face, it was still hard for her to accept.

"Master......"

The woman knelt down in front of the old woman and wept into tears.

If Xu Que was here, he would definitely be surprised.

This woman in white turned out to be his college girlfriend Lin Yuxi.

"Master, don't worry, the disciple will definitely cultivate hard and avenge you!"

Lin Yuxi looked at the old man who had left peacefully, and said firmly in his heart.

She has one more goal in this life!

In the end, Lin Yuxi buried the old woman under the firewood room, which was something that the old woman had hinted at her a long time ago.

At that time, this inn was opened by her and that friend, and there were many memories of the two of them, and the old woman once said to herself, hoping to return to her roots here in the future, and settle in the soil.

Lin Yuxi didn't feel anything at that time, and it wasn't until now that she understood why the old woman would bring her here, in addition to wanting to escort her to the Seven Star Academy, but also to be able to rest here.

"Bang!"

At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound outside the door, as if someone had fallen to the ground.

This was followed by a burst of shouting.

"Bastard, do you dare to come here to eat and drink, and look for death?"

"Damn, do you still want to do business in this inn? This son took out the pill to watch, but was gnawed by this person, how do you plan to compensate for this matter? A second-grade Guishen Pill, I'm afraid I can't afford to sell your inn!"

"Childe forgives the sin, this person will be handed over to Childe to deal with!"

"Deal with your mother, this person looks like a fool at first glance, even if he kills him, can he get back the loss of his son?"

"But this ......"

"Hmph, in order to participate in the assessment of the Seven Star Academy, this time, my son specially got a Returning God Pill, but your inn let a fool come in and gnawed the pill, and your inn will definitely be responsible for this matter. ”

"Childe, we are also a small business, how can we afford to pay this Guishen Pill. ”

"Can't afford to pay for it? That son will burn down your shop, even if the city lord comes, there is nothing to do with him! Come on, drive all the people in the inn out, and this fool, beat me to death, and throw it out to feed the dogs after being killed!"

......

At this point, it was the shopkeeper's plea for mercy and the sound of a dense fight.

Lin Yuxi frowned slightly and shook his head.

It seems that this middle-aged shopkeeper is also going to be unlucky, but according to this trend, the inn seems to be unstoppable.

"Squeak!"

She gently pushed open the door and glanced out.

I saw the middle-aged shopkeeper kneeling in front of a son-in-law, begging for mercy and shouting.

There were a few people dressed as guards next to him, who were beating a sloppy man, but the man didn't say a word, he shrank on the ground with his head in his arms, and his mouth was still chewing food frantically, as if he was hungry.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but sigh, this is a world where the weak eat the strong, when her master was there, she had always taught her not to meddle in things, not to mention that now that her master has passed away, even if she wants to help people, she doesn't have that strength.

"Huh?" Suddenly, just as Lin Yuxi was about to close the door and ignore it, his eyes happened to meet the beaten man.

This look, as if through the void, through time, a look for thousands of years, looking for him thousands of degrees, suddenly looking back, that person is in the lamplight!

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she trembled with excitement: "Xu...... Xu Que!"

......

......
