From the main entrance of Song Yuan's residence to the inner hall, there were a total of two hundred and twenty-four steps along the corridor of the courtyard.
There were no servants along the way, nor were there any of Song Yuan's students. Qin Yue walked alone on this path, step by step, his pace getting slower and slower, but he never stopped.
After two hundred and twenty-four steps, Qin Yue walked for half an hour and finally arrived outside the inner hall. Behind him, a series of shallow footprints were left on the hard stone pavement.
Qin Yue looked into the hall and slowly bowed, "Greetings, Academician Song."
Song Yuan nodded slightly, his expression cold and indiscernible.
"Liu Wu, can I take him away?" Qin Yue asked.
"I said, if you want anything, just come in and take it yourself." Song Yuan said.
Two hundred and twenty-four steps were already so difficult, to enter the inner hall would obviously be even more difficult. What's more, Song Yuan and Zhan Ren, these two experts of Merak Peak, were also here.
Qin Yue didn't pretend to be relaxed. His expression became very serious. He didn't move immediately. The atmosphere inside and outside the house seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then, he moved.
In the previous two hundred and twenty-four steps, he walked very slowly and carefully. But now, stepping into the even more dangerous Inner Hall, this step, he advanced extremely quickly.
In an instant, countless figures of Qin Yue could be seen walking from outside the inner hall all the way to the hall.
Before anyone could even see his feet, he had already covered the distance of more than ten steps, moving at high speed, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the air.
One step forward, one step back.
His advance was fast, but his retreat was even faster, so fast that he was like a beam of light. In the blink of an eye, Qin Yue had already retreated outside the door, but there was now an additional Liu Wu at his side.
"Thank you, Academician Song." Qin Yue bowed again, a string of beads of blood dripping from his throat, falling to the ground and scattering into several flowers of blood.
"I won't be sending you off." Song Yuan, who was sitting in the hall, said indifferently.
Qin Yue turned and left. Song Yuan had no intention of getting Liu Wu's arm back, but he didn't ask for it. He didn't ask for it, his other hand covering the bleeding wound, enduring the pain as he followed behind Qin Yue.
The two quickly left Song Yuan's residence. Inner hall. Only Song Yuan and Zhan Ren were left.
Zhan Ren looked at his teacher, but Song Yuan was looking at his right hand. After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"I've often heard that the eldest son of the Qin family is cultivating at the South Sky Academy. That's why this family's Inherited Ability is inferior to the second son of the Qin family, Qin Qi. I don't think so. "
"What a Dancing Light" he sighed. This kind of Bloodline Inheritance Special Ability was impossible to cultivate unless one possessed the bloodline of a clan, no matter how high one's realm was.
Just like that, an extremely dangerous duel that seemed calm on the surface, passed just like that.
As for the outcome of the battle, the two of them were well aware of it.
Although Qin Yue appeared to have rescued Liu Wu, he knew very well that it was only because Song Yuan had only attacked him once, causing him to accelerate his advance and retreat. He had successfully prevented Song Yuan's attack from being completely accurate.
However, he could have continued to attack, but he didn't.
Walking out of Song Yuan's residence, Qin Yue touched the wound on his neck with lingering fear.
"Creating something out of nothing," he praised from the bottom of his heart. Then, he glanced at Fifth Liu beside him.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Fifth Liu was silent. Apart from pain, there was more guilt on his face.
Because he had revealed that secret, a secret that could affect the fate of the Xuan Army Empire. Because he couldn't stand Song Yuan's cruelty, he had said it out loud. He had thought that he would die and never expected that someone would come to save him.
Telling him this secret was to make him act cautiously. It was the second son of the Qin family, Qin Qi.
After he had revealed this secret, the one who had saved him was the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Yue.
Fifth Liu was too ashamed to face anyone. At this moment. He really hoped that Qin Yue hadn't come to save him.
"I worked very hard to save you. You're not asking for death, are you?" Qin Yue said as he tended to the wound on his throat. A small piece of flesh had disappeared. If Qin Yue had been a bit slower, it could have been a chunk of his blood vessels and windpipe that had disappeared.
"I deserve to die …" Fifth Liu said.
"This isn't a good idea," Qin Yue said.
"I'm at your service, Young Master." Fifth Liu knelt on one knee and didn't say any unnecessary words. He really wanted him to die. Why would Qin Yue come to save him? Since he would save him, he naturally had other needs.
"Go and tend to the wound first. I heard that Yan Ge's medical skills are quite good? "Qin Yue said.
"Yes, very good," Fifth Liu said.
"I also need to take a look," Qin Yue said.
Liu Wu hesitated, but in the end, he still asked in shame, "Then … what about Lu Ping?" He had completely screwed up the matter regarding Lu Ping.
"Lu Ping … Let's take a good look first," Qin Yue said.
The shocking sword on Alkaid Peak, the even more shocking fist that pierced through the Hall of Seven Sins.
Lu Ping's strength seemed to be bottomless. Was this the secret that Robber had left him?
Qin Yue shook his head. He couldn't think of anything and could only wait and see.
Lu Ping had already walked down Dubhe Peak. The two Dubhe disciples were still guarding the bottom of the peak. But when they saw Lu Ping, their expressions were very different from before. In front of the Divine Weapon Inheritor, the superiority of the Dubhe disciples was simply not worth mentioning.
The two opened their mouths. If it was in the past, they would have already called a Divine Weapon Inheritor Senior Brother. The North Style Academy's Senior Brother and Senior Sister, when the disparity wasn't big, could be based on who entered first. But if there was a clear difference in status and strength, usually the strong would be respected. Under such circumstances, calling each other Senior Brother and Senior Sister was more of a respect and not seniority.
But Lu Ping was just a newcomer who had entered the academy for less than a month. The two really couldn't call him Senior Brother. While they were absent-minded, Lu Ping had already walked past them.
The two's hearts were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but they could only watch Lu Ping's back as he walked further and further away, heading towards the North Mountain New Courtyard.
"Lu Ping is back!"
No one knew who it was, but after rushing into the courtyard, he brought this piece of news. The newcomers in the courtyard immediately panicked. The people on their side usually despised Lu Ping, but now he had reached the sky in a single bound. Not to mention his status after obtaining the Divine Weapon Inheritance, just this strength was enough to make them fear him.
For a moment, everyone didn't know whether they should go out to congratulate him or pretend they didn't see it. In the end, they each took a stand. Some went back to their rooms and didn't come out, while others went out of the courtyard and waited for Lu Ping to come over to their side. After seeing that Lin Tianbiao was also among them, everyone immediately calmed down. Apart from this, they also admired Lin Tianbiao. Everyone regarded Lu Ping as trash, yet Lin Tianbiao was willing to befriend him. This was the so-called discerning eyes for a hero!
While they were imagining things, Lu Ping had already walked in front of them. Lin Tianbiao welcomed him, and the others followed closely. Lin Tianbiao's face was filled with sincere joy. He took the lead and said, "You are really surprising."
Lu Ping smiled. The others weren't that familiar with Lu Ping, so they couldn't make such a joke. No matter how talkative they were, they all became very dull at this moment and congratulated him mechanically.
"Thank you. Thank you. " Lu Ping expressed his gratitude one by one. His emotions didn't seem to fluctuate. He thanked them as he walked, and soon, he passed by the door of the first courtyard.
Then the second courtyard, the third courtyard, the fourth courtyard …
People from each courtyard gathered outside the door and congratulated Lu Ping.
Lu Ping's expression remained unchanged, and he said the same "thank you" as he finally passed the fourth courtyard and returned to the fifth courtyard.
The fifth courtyard was deserted. Other than the ginkgo trees in the corner of the courtyard and Huo Ying on the bamboo chair, there were no other living things. Moreover, the ginkgo trees had already lost a lot of leaves in autumn, and they were somewhat bald. Huo Ying was always half-dead, and these two did not show much anger.
However, Lu Ping felt that this deserted courtyard was very warm.
It was the kind of warmth that he felt when he was in Zhenfeng College, where there was Su Tang and the dean.
"I'm back," Lu Ping said as he walked into the courtyard.
