The alley was deep and serene, as if every smooth and shiny bluestone was hiding countless secrets.
Behind the red lacquer door was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard was a stone mill, and on top of the millstone was an iron bucket.
Inside the bucket was ice, and the bucket was full of ice cubes.
The ice cubes were scorched by the scorching sun, emitting a large amount of cold air.
A man dressed in black sat meditating, his body wreathed in smoke and his forehead dripping with sweat, looking like he was in a sauna.
His hands were swaying in the air, his ten fingers rapidly forming dozens of complicated and strange seals.
Whoosh —
White light blazed!
On the bluestone floor, a dark and deep black hole suddenly appeared.
The black hole emitted a gloomy and gloomy aura, making people tremble at a glance, like a passage of death leading to the Asura hell.
There was a brief silence, and then there was the rustling sound of friction.
A crow drilled out from the black hole, swooping towards the body of the man in black.
More crows flew out, approaching the body of the man in black.
They densely wrapped around the man in black, opening their mouths to swallow the dark aura emitting from his body.
Ka Ka Ka —
Countless crows had countless mouths, and countless mouths were constantly opening and closing. This scene sent a chill down one's spine.
When the crows dispersed, the black smoke disappeared. The man in black finally revealed his true face.
He poured the ice cubes and cold water from the bucket onto his head, his body emitting a sizzling sound. It was as if his body was a burning stove, and the ice cubes and cold water were all poured onto the flames of the stove and incinerated.
It was only at this moment that the aura of light on Crow's body was completely expelled.
Since ancient times, it was difficult for light and darkness to blend together. Crow walked a dark and evil path, including the birds he raised, they were also refined from some filthy things. The bodyguard of the young lady of the Cui family used the 'All Living Buddha' move when he was injured. This is an authentic Buddhist martial art, belonging to the high-level exorcism magic of Buddhism.
The aura of light entered his body, and Crow fled with serious injuries.
He snuck into this alley and killed an old woman who had been a widow for many years. This courtyard became his place of healing.
All along, Crow had always been very confident in his skills.
He was a proud person, a tsundere killer.
However, the foolproof plan failed, which was tantamount to being slapped in the face — —
He could imagine that when the news of his failure reached the ears of those bloodthirsty fellows in the Assassin Guild, they would mock and ridicule him.
"Unforgivable." Crow struck out with his palm, and the millstone, which weighed more than a thousand pounds, broke into several pieces.
In between recuperation, the crow seriously thought back to the scene at that time.
When he noticed that the Cui family had walked out of the school gate, he had already set up an ambush in the cafe. Sure enough, his gamble was correct. Cui Xiaoxin was indeed walking towards the cafe with his classmate.
Just as he thought, the bodyguard of the Cui family did not follow them in, but stood guard in front of the cafe, vigilantly watching the guests coming in and out.
When the bodyguard of the Cui family did not come in, he knew that his attack had a ninety-nine percent chance of success. The reason why there was still a one percent chance of failure was that Cui Xiaoxin could transform into a starry sky cultivator in a second.
But was this possible?
Cui Xiaoxin really could not transform, and she was not a starry sky cultivator.
The princess must maintain her elegance, so she could not transform as she wished. But the good-for-nothing youngster beside her had transformed.
Otherwise, how could he so accurately block his falling cherry blossoms every time?
Why was he sent flying with one punch even though he had used a killing move like splitting a mountain?
If that was not transformation, then what was it?
So, in the final analysis, the culprit of this failure was the charcoal youngster.
"I'm going to kill him." Crow thought to himself.
With his right hand, he fished out a coin from his pocket and then placed the coin in his left hand.
"This is the reward." Crow said to himself. He would not do anything that would not make him money.
Puff puff — -
A black bird flapped its wings and flew into the courtyard.
Crow stretched out his hand, and the black bird fell into his palm.
He untied a bamboo tube from the black bird's leg, and then pulled out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube.
The piece of paper was not big, and the content was very little.
Crow quickly finished reading it.
He gently rubbed the paper between his two fingers, and the paper burst into flames.
"Li Muyang." Crow said the name in an evil voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Just as the name suggests, you are a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

"Little bird said early in the morning, why did you carry an explosive bag on your back? I'm going to blow up the school, the teacher doesn't know, as soon as he pulls the line I'll run — - "Li Shinian hummed a song as he pushed open the courtyard door. Seeing the messy courtyard, he jumped in fright and shouted:" Li Muyang, Li Muyang — - "
Li Muyang came out from the inner room and asked: "What's wrong?"
"What happened to the table in the courtyard?" Li Shinian pointed to the lapis lazuli table that was missing a few corners and asked: "How did a good table become like this?"
"I don't know." Li Muyang walked outside, pretended to look around and said: "How did this happen? Was the table struck by lightning? "
"How is that possible?" Li Shinian said snappily: "How could a good table be struck by lightning?"
"A good person can be struck by lightning, let alone a table." Li Muyang retorted.
Li Shinian's eyes widened, he stared at Li Muyang for a while and said: "You really don't know?"
Li Muyang grinned and said: "Well, well, I'll be honest with you, I broke it with my hands — – I was lying on the table writing, I don't know what happened — –"
"Do you think I'm an idiot." Li Shinian interrupted Li Muyang's explanation: "I'd rather believe it was struck by lightning."
“----”
Of course, Li Shinian did not put a table in his eyes, he looked around and asked: "Sister Xiaoxin didn't come today?"
"She didn't come." Li Muyang said with a smile, unwilling to tell his sister about Yan Xiangma's visit, otherwise it would make the little girl worry for no reason.
She's already in her second year of high school, and now her studies are very intense. Although her grades are very good, but Li Muyang does not want her to bear the burden of her age. "Yesterday Xiaoxin said she won't come today, she's going to the temple with the elders of her family to burn incense."
Li Shinian's dark eyes rolled around and said: "We should also go and make a wish for you — –"
"I don't believe in that." Li Muyang refused. "If burning incense and praying to Buddha can help people get into university, then would there still be people who fail in the future?"
"It's not for this — –" Li Shinian rolled his eyes and said: "No matter what, you won't be able to get into university, even Buddha can't help you with this."
"Then what do you want?"
"Even if I beg sister Xiaoxin, you won't be able to get in. Then you two will both fail, you'll suffer the same fate, then you'll go back to school together — – at that time the three of us will be in the same school, in the same class, we'll do our best and after a year, the three of us will pass the exam and enter Westwind University hand in hand, becoming a legend in Jiangnan city. What do you think about this? "
Li Muyang walked over and pinched Li Shinian's tender little face, looked at her with a face full of worry and said: "Li Shinian, are you sick?"
"You're the one who's sick." Li Shinian pushed away his brother's bad hand and said: "Today I seriously thought about it, if I want you and sister Xiaoxin to be together, unless you can get into Westwind University or if sister Xiaoxin fails, she'll study with you — –"
"Then we can be together?"
"No." Li Shinian shook his head. "But at least you have a chance to compete with others. Right? "
“----”
Although his words were cruel, but Li Muyang knew that Li Shinian was speaking the truth.
If he can't perform well in this exam, then in the future he and Cui Xiaoxin will be separated from each other and won't even have the chance to compete with others — –
"I don't necessarily have to pursue Cui Xiaoxin." Li Muyang said stubbornly. "Anyway, I'm still young, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Maybe I can find someone better? "
"Brother — –"
"What?"
"You're ugly."
"I know. Do you have to be so straightforward? "
"But not every girl is as blind as sister Xiaoxin."
“----”

Cui Xiaoxin put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a napkin and said: "Aunt, uncle, cousin, you eat slowly. I'm going out. "
Yan Bolai put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Cui Xiaoxin and asked: "Xiaoxin ate so quickly? It's almost the university entrance examination, you have to pay attention to your diet. "
"I've already eaten. Thank you uncle for your concern. "Cui Xiaoxin bowed to express her gratitude.
"Xiaoxin, where are you going?" Aunt asked aloud: "Are you going to help your classmate with his homework again? The exam is coming, you can't help others and affect your own results. Although our family doesn't need this, but whether your results are good or bad, people will judge — – you also know, when you return to Tiandu, there will be many eyes staring at you. "
"Aunt, don't worry, I'm ready." Cui Xiaoxin's expression was gentle and firm, looked at her aunt and said: "Whether it's the exam or Tiandu."
Yan Xiangma said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't you trust our family's Xiaoxin? Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, she's more cautious than anyone else than Xiaoxin. "
After Cui Xiaoxin left, Yan Bolai looked sharply at Yan Xiangma and asked: "Which student is lucky enough to have Xiaoxin personally tutor them?"
