Lu Ping and Zi Mu were cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground when they heard screams coming from outside the courtyard. Zi Mu's face was ashen and his forehead was covered in sweat. Lu Ping's thoughts went back to a long time ago, when he first started to remember things. His impression was of all kinds of pain, not limited to physical pain. At that time, he was often tortured to the point of screaming, but …
"This is useless …" Lu Ping mumbled.
"What's useless?" Zi Mu was confused.
"I mean the ones outside." Lu Ping pointed outside. "Screaming like this won't reduce the pain much. It's just a waste of energy."
"Then what should we do?" Zi Mu hurriedly asked. He began to worry that in the following days in the five academies, he might suffer this kind of treatment at any time.
"Distracting is a good way," Lu Ping said. When he was suffering, he would often try to do this. Unfortunately, there were very few things that could distract him. It was not until he met Su Tang that he finally had such a friend, that he finally had something to rely on.
"O … okay," Zi Mu stammered. He wanted to learn how to get rid of it, but Lu Ping only told him how to endure it.
At this moment, the screams outside the door finally stopped. Then came the scolding voice of Sister Tang, whom Sun Yingsheng and Huo Ying called. The person who was scolded by her seemed to still be able to move, because Sister Tang was roaring at them to clean up outside the courtyard.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zi Mu was anxious when he heard this. If they finished talking outside, they would be coming in soon. But the bloodstains on the ground had not been completely cleaned!
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open mercilessly. A very young girl with a pretty face walked in. But her angry face made it impossible for anyone to have any thoughts of hitting on her.
"It's over, it's over." Zi Mu looked at the ground. No matter what, there was no time to clean it up. Thinking of the miserable screams he had heard, he hurriedly prepared to distract himself.
Little Sister Tang, on the other hand, had already walked over in a few steps and looked at the ground. As expected, he was very angry. However, he did not cause trouble for Lu Ping and Zi Mu. Instead, he targeted Huo Ying.
"Vomiting blood again!" She pointed at Huo Ying and shouted.
"Yes!" Huo Ying replied with her eyes closed.
"Where's the bucket I gave you?" Sister Tang said.
"It was just a spur of the moment," Huo Ying said. The bucket you gave me is a little too big. It's not convenient to carry around. "
"That's because I'm afraid you'll accidentally vomit." Little Sister Tang said.
"Do you want me to sit in that bucket and vomit?" Huo Ying said.
Sit in the bucket and vomit! How big was that bucket? When Lu Ping and Zi Mu heard the conversation, they turned to look at each other.
"If it wasn't for the fact that you're already on the verge of death, I really want to slap you to death." Little sister Tang scolded.
"Thank you for your magnanimity," Huo Ying said lightly.
Huo Ying was dying?
Lu Ping and Zi Mu heard this. They looked at Huo Ying in surprise. Looking at him, Huo Ying's complexion was extremely poor and weak. He really did look like a dying person. But from his words, who could tell that he was a person at the end of his life? At most, they would think that his body wasn't too good and that he was a little sickly.
Little sister Tang no longer paid attention to Huo Ying. She looked at Lu Ping and Zi Mu. Seeing the two of them working hard to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, she seemed to be a little satisfied.
"You two, are you the trash that was directly sent to the fifth courtyard from the first courtyard?" She asked.
"That's us." Lu Ping nodded, then shook his head. "But you can't say we're trash, right?"
"Aren't those that were sent to the fifth courtyard trash?" Little sister Tang said.
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding." Lu Ping said.
"Little brother, you don't even have the power of the soul. Where do you get your confidence from?" Little sister Tang said.
"Not at the moment, but I'll definitely get it back." Lu Ping said this very firmly. He just wasn't sure how long it would take, but he believed in the dean's arrangement. It was impossible for him to really become a trash that couldn't use the power of the soul.
"Anyway, it's none of my business." Little sister Tang said impatiently, "Anyway, since you're in the fifth courtyard, you must abide by the fifth courtyard's health regulations."
"Health regulations?" Lu Ping had never heard of such a term.
"Out of sight, out of mind." Little sister Tang said.
"What?" Lu Ping didn't understand a little.
"It means that you can dirty as much as you want, but you can't let her see it." Huo Ying said.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu looked at each other. This wonderful health regulation. Besides being domineering, there was actually some consideration hidden in it. At least they didn't want to completely deprive others of their freedom.
"Understood." The two of them nodded.
"It's good that you understand. Hurry up and clean the floor." Little sister Tang said and left. In the blink of an eye, she had already entered her room. She closed the door on her side. On the other side, Sun Yingsheng's door opened again. Sun Yingsheng poked his head out and looked around. He was a little regretful. "If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have washed my face." As he said this, he returned to the other side and looked at Lu Ping and Zi Mu. "Looking at you, it seems that you have something to ask?"
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"Ask away!" Sun Yingsheng generously approved.
"Why are you in the fifth courtyard?" Lu Ping asked.
"You've grasped the key question!" Sun Yingsheng expressed his appreciation for Lu Ping. "Is it because that guy said that those who got into the fifth courtyard are all trash?"
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded. Little sister Tang just said bluntly that those who got into the fifth courtyard were all trash. But if that was the case, wouldn't those who spent four years to get into the fifth courtyard be even more trash? Looking at Little sister Tang's fierce and fierce temperament, she didn't seem like someone who would be so self-deprecating, right? As for Huo Ying, he could kill a person with a raise of his hand. Sun Yingsheng had an extraordinary background and could even distinguish people from the smell of blood. This was not an ability that could be possessed by those in the Perception State. It must be a special ability that Lu Ping had never heard of. But he was very clear about the status of Wen Gecheng, who had a special ability that could see through bloodlines. Sun Yingsheng's special ability might not be as good as Seamless Microscopy, but he felt that it had some background.
So, these people, Lu Ping's intuition told him that they did not fall into the fifth courtyard because they did not improve for four years. Ying Xiao's actions also inspired him — perhaps these people were only in the fifth courtyard for other reasons?
Sun Yingsheng's answer immediately confirmed Lu Ping's guess.
"You guessed it right. The few of us took the initiative to move to the fifth courtyard because of other reasons," Sun Yingsheng said.
"I'm dying!" Huo Ying opened his eyes and said at this moment. Although he still spoke in an indifferent tone, the moment he opened his eyes and looked at the sky, a trace of desolation flashed across his face.
"As for me, I really have to leave the North Style Academy. I have to go home and seize my family's property." Sun Yingsheng said. He said "seize" and not "inherit", but he still said it very frankly.
"As for that person, of course it's for cleanliness." Sun Yingsheng pointed at Little sister Tang's door. Lu Ping and Zi Mu thought for a moment and immediately understood. There were few people in the fifth courtyard, so she could ignore it. But if it was the first and second courtyard that had a lot of people, she would probably go crazy.
"There's one more person." Sun Yingsheng pointed at another door. "He wants peace because that guy likes to sleep during the day. If you guys don't sleep at night, you can interact with him more. "
