Bang bang.
Lin Tianbiao's left foot kicked the box, lightly touching it twice, producing two light sounds.
His movements were casual, relaxed, and appropriate, even making people feel comfortable, as if he was greeting them intimately. But if it was an attack, it would undoubtedly be extremely terrifying, because no one was prepared. Whether it was Lu Ping or Ying Xiao, when Lin Tianbiao's movements were noticed, he had already kicked the box.
The box trembled slightly. Ying Xiao's expression changed slightly.
"Don't randomly kick it." He glared at Lin Tianbiao, and quickly put the box behind him.
"What is it?" Lin Tianbiao smiled and asked.
"I can't tell you." Ying Xiao said.
"Seems like it's your secret weapon." Lin Tianbiao said.
"Maybe it is." Ying Xiao pretended to be mysterious, his expression somewhat exaggerated.
"I'm looking forward to it." Lin Tianbiao nodded, and did not continue on this topic, and went to chat with the other students. But the calculations in his mind did not stop so quickly.
This box was different from the one he saw at Zhuang Yong's stall. The only person who could take away the whole box, other than that young man, was Ying Xiao.
The box could be changed, but what about the contents?
Lin Tianbiao stretched out his foot to touch it, testing Ying Xiao's reaction, and on the other hand, he used the tactile perception brought by the Spirit of Strength to probe the contents of the box. With his Lin Family's keen perception, he could infer the general shape of the contents of the box from the feedback of the Spirit of Strength. Just two touches, two senses, but Lin Tianbiao was still unable to establish accurate information. The contents of the box looked irregular, perhaps there was more than one thing inside.
X-ray vision?
Lin Tianbiao did not even try such a small trick. Since the other party wanted to hide the contents of the box, how could he not guard against a mere rank 2 ability like X-ray vision?
His mind was filled with complicated thoughts, but his face was as calm as the spring breeze. Lin Tianbiao was chatting with the newcomers in the crowd, playing his usual role of being the focus.
Lu Ping and Ying Xiao were still waiting there, the two did not speak much, and ate the four buns from Lu Ping. They were both silent. Gradually, all the newcomers had gathered at the entrance of the North Town. After Senior Brother Ji did a headcount, he led everyone back to the academy.
"This time, I'm the one bringing you in and out of the academy. In the future, if you have something to do and want to go down the mountain, you can't. Don't be so casual. " Senior Brother Ji's duty was to help the newcomers of the Northern Mountains New Courtyard learn and adapt to the rules of the North Style Academy. This was the first time the newcomers went down the mountain after entering the academy, so he took the opportunity to introduce the rules to the newcomers.
"Then what should we do?" Since Senior Brother Ji had spoken, there were naturally people who supported him. He paused when he said this. Immediately, a newcomer seized the opportunity to speak up.
"The North Style Academy isn't a place where people can casually enter and leave. If you want to leave the mountain, you need to report to the Alkaid Peak's Imperial Gate Courtyard. The reason for his departure and the deadline for his return had to be stated clearly. With the permission of the Imperial Gate Courtyard, they could leave the courtyard and descend the mountain. If they did not return within the time limit, they would naturally be punished. This time, I was the one leading everyone, so we all went to greet the Imperial Gate Courtyard. Don't forget this rule from now on. "Senior Martial Brother Ji seemed to be in a good mood today. When he explained to everyone, his tone was unusually kind and attentive. The newcomers listened. Naturally, they repeatedly thanked Senior Martial Brother Ji for his advice.
"Report to the Imperial Gate Courtyard. This is the general rule of our North Style Academy. Each peak and courtyard has its own rules. If the newcomers of the Northern Mountains New Courtyard want to leave the mountain, they need to inform me first. "Senior Martial Brother Ji said.
"That's natural." The newcomers replied one after another.
Senior Martial Brother Ji then sized up the newcomers. They said they came to Pine Creek Pavilion to buy things, but most of them were empty-handed. Senior Martial Brother Ji smiled. He was very clear that it wasn't that these people didn't buy things they were satisfied with, but rather that they didn't want to show the things they bought to others. These purchases were all to be used in the Seven Star Meeting. No one wanted to let their competitors know what kind of preparations they had made beforehand.
But this time, everyone came and went together. With Senior Martial Brother Ji's recommendation, most of the people bought from Zhuang Yong's stall. There were even disputes. Most of the people couldn't hide what they bought from others. Therefore, Senior Martial Brother Ji was very clear that today's purchases were just a prelude. The next few days were the real opportunity for these newcomers to come to Pine Creek Town and rack their brains to equip themselves.
Pine Creek Town wasn't far from the North Style Academy. The people who were on their way back didn't use any soul power methods. They arrived at the front of the North Style Academy's mountain gate in no time.
The newcomers passed through the mountain gate twice. The first time was when the newcomers registered and stepped into the North Style Academy's mountain gate. The second time was when they went down the mountain and passed through the gate. They passed through both times. They didn't feel that there was anything strange about this place. But now that they turned around, they felt a different atmosphere.
The mountain gate was empty when they went down the mountain, but now there were actually two rows of practitioners gathered together. They were all wearing the Alkaid Peak's uniform. The one in the middle was actually the Alkaid Peak's head disciple — — Deng Wenjun.
The newcomers who could recognize this person all revealed an expression of surprise. The head disciple's appearance was usually not a small matter.
However, Senior Martial Brother Ji wasn't the slightest bit frightened by this situation. Instead, he welcomed them with a face full of smiles and greeted Deng Wenjun: "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Deng."
"You're welcome." Deng Wenjun smiled.
Thank you?
When the newcomers heard Senior Martial Brother Ji's words, Deng Wenjun and the Alkaid Peak's disciples seemed to be busy with something. While they were guessing, Senior Martial Brother Ji already turned around and spoke to everyone.
"Everyone listen up. Leaving the mountain and returning to the academy will require a small inspection. Don't panic, just go through the inspection in order." Senior Martial Brother Ji said.
When the newcomers heard this, they immediately felt relieved. Many of the newcomers here came from famous sects. Even those big academies didn't allow strangers to enter as they pleased. They couldn't avoid an inspection, let alone the North Style Academy.
The newcomers who understood the situation immediately spread out and lined up. At the mountain gate, the two rows of Alkaid Peak's disciples also spread out and set up four inspection points in front of the mountain gate.
"Divide into four groups and go forward in order." A disciple of the Alkaid Peak stood out and said. And Deng Wenjun obviously wouldn't do this personally. He only held his hands behind his back and wandered around the mountain gate.
The inspection was very fast. The newcomers were allowed to pass in just a blink of an eye at the inspection point. But for the practitioners with keen senses, they could feel the undulations of soul power fluctuating in front of the mountain gate from the moment the inspection began. The disciples of the Alkaid Peak who were in charge of the inspection were clearly not doing it half-heartedly. They were all using their abilities to efficiently inspect every newcomer and their belongings.
Lin Tianbiao followed the team and quickly passed through the inspection. He didn't leave immediately after entering the mountain gate. Instead, he turned around and looked at the fourth inspection point.
Lu Ping and Ying Xiao were both in the queue there. The two of them had the most things in their hands and were the most eye-catching. But Lin Tianbiao wasn't interested in Lu Ping's worldly belongings. He was still concerned about the chest in Ying Xiao's hands. He could only probe for a short period of time. But after entering the mountain gate, the Imperial Academy's inspection seemed casual, but it was actually very meticulous. Lin Tianbiao already knew about this rule of the North Style Academy. That's why he didn't probe Ying Xiao further. He knew that there would be someone else who would do it for him.
What was inside the chest?
Lin Tianbiao wasn't sure, but the people of the Imperial Academy wouldn't allow you to bring unclear things into the North Style Academy.
