Li Xiang looked at Crimson Moon in shock and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly asking this? Sister Crimson Moon, it's not like you don't know about my relationship with Ming Xu. It's impossible for me to marry into your Yue Family, but thank you for your kind intentions."
He could feel the seriousness in Crimson Moon's tone when she spoke. Clearly, she was not speaking without thinking.
"That's not a problem. Marrying into our family is just a nominal thing. Our Yue Family's tradition is that any man who wants to marry a lady from our family must marry into our family in the name of marrying into our family. However, in reality, if you're strong enough, the lady from the Yue Family can also leave with you. It's just a nominal thing. "
Crimson Moon lifted the hair by her ear and continued speaking.
"I have a younger sister who happens to be eighteen this year. She can marry you and definitely won't interfere with your relationship with Ming Xu. It's not a problem for her to be a concubine or a concubine. Won't you consider it?"
"That's too unfair to that lady. Moreover … I'll only marry Ming Xu in this lifetime." Li Xiang shook his head. "What's the matter, Sister Crimson Moon? If you have something to say, just say it."
"Sigh, Li Xiang, don't you know? Polar night's life is at stake. " Crimson Moon sighed and pulled out the light screen device on the back seat. After fiddling with it for a while, a large amount of data appeared. "A few days ago, the Yue Family received reliable news that hundreds of Gates of the Abyss appeared at the bottom of the Dead Sea. Almost half of them showed signs of opening. Do you know what this means?"
"A Gate of the Abyss can unleash a wave of mutants. They're different from normal mutants. Most of them are the spawn of a Lord Level Disaster. A single wave like this is enough to greatly damage the border. If it erupts more than ten times, the border will have no choice but to give up. And your university is right above the Dead Sea. Your backer is Polar night, right? In this crisis, the one who will suffer the most will definitely be Polar night! "
Crimson Moon explained as she showed him various data.
"Didn't you say that the school has already applied to relocate?" Li Xiang asked in confusion. "Can't they just retreat if they can't win?"
"It's not that simple. Do you know why Lighthouse Academy was built on the Dead Sea? Because the First Lighthouse is a treasure left behind by the legendary player, Lord Lighthouse. It is also the Tower of Faith of your Polar night. " Crimson Moon's hands trembled as she slowly said, "Many things are not as simple as we think. If the Abyss Gate really erupts and someone must protect it, what do you think will happen?"
"Then only the Polar night magician can make a move." Li Xiang replied in a low voice. This was the only possibility. Only a Level 9 player could stop such a disaster.
"Yes. What if the Polar night mage falls?" Crimson Moon replied softly. "What if that day really comes?"
"Are you saying that we will become fat sheep to be divided?" Li Xiang's mind flashed back to the tragic state of the Yao Clan. He then recalled the moment he bid farewell to Baimiya, her expression and words.
"Whether or not there is such a possibility, the outside world is weaving a net that can cover the entire Polar night. If you don't leave now, it will be difficult for you to prevent it from happening." This was the purpose of Crimson Moon's trip. Although her strength was average, she had a strong background. With her around, she would definitely be able to pull Li Xiang into the Yue Clan. With the support of the Five Sovereigns, he would be able to move forward more steadily.
"I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Sister Crimson Moon. But you also said that many things are not that simple. Besides, we haven't reached that stage yet." Li Xiang smiled and shook his head, rejecting her suggestion.
"Sigh, I knew it. I'm just reminding you this time. I see that many aristocratic families are getting restless recently. You must be careful." Crimson Moon had heard a lot about Li Xiang. In fact, when she left the Yue Clan's mark, she only hoped that he would take good care of her old friends. She did not expect this young man to cause so much trouble.
In the blink of an eye, he was already a Level-3 Magician and had established his own upper-class family.
The steam locomotive continued forward and soon stopped under the white Magic Tower that towered into the clouds.
This was the famous Tower of Scholars in the Seven Continents, the crystallization of the highest wisdom of the human era — the Chronometer Tower.
The Southern Land was the territory of the Yue Clan, but there was an independent area in District 1 that was not under the jurisdiction of the Yue Clan. It was this fantasy city full of all kinds of magical auras.
The Chronometer Tower was one of the three major forces outside of the Five Sovereigns. It was different from Wessex, which was in charge of management, and the Katashafi Committee, which was in charge of management. The Chronometer Tower was in charge of research and stood aloof from worldly affairs.
Many famous scholars came from here. There were also many players who resigned from other positions and identities and came to the Chronometer Tower to become an unknown scholar.
For thousands of years, they continued to contribute to the Seven Continents. Many of the knowledge systems used today, including the Magic Circuit System, were the results of the Chronometer Tower's research.
Many times, the status of a scholar of the Chronometer Tower was higher than that of an aristocratic family.
There were countless tall stone tablets in front of the Magic Tower. These were teleportation stones that led to various places. There were all kinds of people walking out of them in a hurry, heading in different directions.
A ray of light gathered on the stone tablet and then turned into two shadows.
"Yo, you look good." Night Shadow, who was wearing a black windbreaker, walked out of the light. This cheap teacher had not appeared since he entered the University. It seemed that she had been running around. The person beside her was the Chronometer Tower's scholar, Felios, who was the executive officer of the Ultimate Trial.
Standing next to a super beauty and having to constantly resist her terrifying charm, Felios felt extremely miserable.
"Teacher, Master Felios." Li Xiang bowed respectfully. These two were Level-6 players, the best in the Mesozoic generation.
Night Shadow hugged Li Xiang intimately and unscrupulously held him in her arms. "Hmm, your body is much stronger. Your training is good. When you finish the School Championship, I'll take you back to the Rose Maids' headquarters to have some fun."
Li Xiang, who was being pinched like a doll by Night Shadow, did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could only nod vigorously. This teacher still did things her way. With just a few words and a few actions, she had attracted a lot of attention.
"Alright, stop tormenting him." Felios could not stand it anymore. He quickly pulled Li Xiang, who was about to die, out of her arms. "Let me take him to learn more about the School Championship. Who is this?"
"Hello, Master Felios. I am Crimson Moon from the Crimson Family." Crimson Moon bowed respectfully. Facing a scholar of the Chronometer Tower, she still had to be polite.
"Crimson Moon? 'Purple Crimson String'? So you are the second Crimson Moon. Hello. " Felios smiled and returned the greeting. Seeing a scholar of the Chronometer Tower return the greeting, Li Xiang was even more curious about Crimson Moon's background.
She was clearly studying in an ordinary player's university with average strength. Why did it feel like she had such a powerful background?
"Haha, my little disciple still doesn't know your identity?" Night Shadow chuckled and pinched Li Xiang's cheek. "The Crimson Family has four daughters famous in the Southern Land. They are the four biological daughters of the Moon Prince and the only four daughters of the Crimson Family who do not have the surname Crimson."
"Purple Moon, Crimson Moon, Crescent Moon, and New Moon," Felios continued. "This Crimson Moon in front of you is in charge of all the properties of the Crimson Family. She is the richest woman in the Southern Land."
Li Xiang suddenly understood. He looked at Crimson Moon again and felt that something was off. This girl could not even gather 200 million yuan when she was in Ghost City and almost could not return to the Southern Land.
As if she knew what he was thinking, Crimson Moon quickly winked at him as if warning him not to mention this.
He remembered that she did not dare to show herself because she knew a secret about the space turbulence.
"Then … Sister Crimson Moon, the sister you mentioned just now?" Li Xiang was confused.
"Ah, it's our family's fourth daughter, Crimson Moon. She just turned 18 this year and also participated in the ultimate trial. I heard that her results were not bad. She is very talented in cultivation." Crimson Moon revealed a sly smile.
Li Xiang was speechless. This girl actually wanted the famous fourth daughter of the Crimson Family to be his concubine?
The two of them tacitly kept their mouths shut.
Just as the four of them were chatting, a petite figure suddenly appeared and pointed at Li Xiang. "Li Xiang! I finally found you! "
Felios was shocked. When he saw the little loli running over, he was shocked again.
'Why is this kid always flirting around?'
"Sister Xingling, why are you here?" Crimson Moon looked at the little loli.
This little loli who was puffing her cheeks and itching to fight with Li Xiang was Yue Xingling who lost to Li Xiang in the final ranking match.
"I'm here to challenge Li Xiang."
"Let me go …" Li Xiang smiled bitterly as he could not take the little loli's punches.
While they were fooling around, Felios and Night Shadow explained the rules of the School Championship Competition.
[Dark Whispers]'s main battlefield was the abandoned Sky Race Ruins. This ancient race that was once active in this world fought together with the first batch of players. In the end, the entire race fell and the ruins were polluted, turning into an abandoned land.
The rules of the School Championship Competition were simple. The participants who entered the Sky Race Ruins would be divided into two camps, the Fallen Angels and the Holy Angels.
The participants in the Fallen Angels camp would be blessed by the fallen Sky Race, while the participants in the Holy Angels camp would be blessed by the original Sky Race.
The two camps would fight directly, and the winner would receive a large number of points and contribution points from the human camp. They could even receive enchanted weapons and equipment from the Goddess of Calamity!
For this group of Level-3 Magicians, enchanted weapons and equipment were the best things to increase their strength. The more trump cards they had, the higher their chances of becoming players.
[Jadeite Forest] rewarded a large number of Source Substance resources, which had been distributed to everyone. However, Li Xiang did not lack Source Substance.
[Deep Sea Kingdom] rewarded contribution points from the human camp, which Li Xiang did not need. He took two disaster items as preparation for the future.
In terms of points and rewards, [Dark Whispers] was obviously the highlight.
"Speaking of which, the School Championship Competition this time is really different from the past, especially this one. There's even a fallen one … "Night Shadow clicked his tongue, feeling more and more confused about the Goddess of Calamity's operation.
Li Xiang nodded in agreement. He happened to meet his teacher here, so he passed the little Fairy Dragon to her and asked her to take care of it.
This little guy was the treasure of the Giant Dragon Race and the Fairy Race. If something happened to it in the Seven Continents, these two races would probably rush out to kill him. It was better to be safe.
Night Shadow laughed and teased the little guy. The little guy looked at Li Xiang with tears in his eyes. He thought that his "mother" did not want him anymore and called out anxiously.
Yue Xingling, who was making a fuss at the side, was immediately attracted to it. Girls really had no resistance to cute things.
Buzz!
At this moment, a stone tablet nearby flickered with an extremely dazzling pillar of light. Some people casually looked over. Very quickly, their originally somewhat lazy gazes faded away in an instant, and it was replaced by a look of amazement.
Whoosh —
An uproar spread all around.
It was as if the wind had blown through the wilderness, stirring up ripples on the wild grass all over the sky. Countless people's eyes reflected a slim and beautiful figure.
Under the beam of light, a girl in a suit with a red and black skirt had an exquisite figure. Her short black hair was dyed red, which was extremely eye-catching.
She was carrying a huge long case on her back. She looked indifferent and there was only a faint light in her eyes. It was as if nothing could attract her attention.
However, this calmness was broken when he bumped into Li Xiang who had a shocked expression on his face.
It was as if a snowy mountain had melted. A faint smile that was enough to make everyone sink into oblivion hung at the corner of the girl's mouth.
Her face and body were flawless, and her temperament was unparalleled.
That was the same thought that popped up in everyone's mind.
The girl's appearance had stolen the limelight from all the other girls.
That smile had become an unforgettable scene for many young people.
She walked over slowly, as if time had stopped.
A tall man walked out from the side. The young man put on a smile that he thought was handsome and walked up to her.
"Hello, my name is Qin Mu. I am from the Qin family, a super family of the Subcontinent District. Did you come here alone? Do you need me to explain the rules of the Academy Cup to you? We are all guided by the Timata Scholars. We know more than the average person. By the way, I am from the King's University. What about you, miss? "
Qin Mu's tone was gentle. He believed that he had an outstanding family background, outstanding talents, and a first-class appearance. The girl in front of him shouldn't be able to resist his charm.
Ming Xu raised her head. She had to raise her head to look at the tall man, who was less than 1.6 meters tall. She frowned slightly. That small movement made Qin Mu's heart race.
Looking at her from such a close distance, Qin Mu could feel how lovely the girl was. How could he not know such a pretty girl?
Qin Mu's heart was warmed at the thought of her bashful face in his arms after he won her heart.
Ming Xu tilted her head and ignored him. She walked around Qin Mu and went straight to Li Xiang.
As if he had expected that, Qin Mu didn't give up and continued to follow her closely. "Miss, I'm not one of those tasteless flirting maniacs. I really want to help you. The Academy Cup this time is quite difficult. We might not be on the same side as our schoolmates. It'll be easier to make more friends."
"Friends?" Ming Xu stopped abruptly and turned around to look at him. "You want to be friends with me?"
"If it's possible, it'll be my honor." Qin Mu smiled. "Maybe after some time together, you'll see more different things."
"…" Ming Xu looked at him seriously. Then, she suddenly asked, "What things?"
"Uh, for example, I'm actually more outstanding and powerful than you think." Qin Mu felt a chill run down his spine. 'Is this girl a natural airhead?
Or did I not express myself accurately enough? '
"Are you very outstanding and powerful?" Ming Xu followed up with another question.
"I'm not very outstanding. In King's University, I'm barely in the top ten of my cohort," Qin Mu replied with a smile. "I'm in my third year."
"Then fight me." Ming Xu reached for the long zither case on her back.
Qin Mu didn't know how to deal with this baffling development. However, the moment she moved, a terrifying killing intent spread out.
'This isn't a joke.
She's unleashing her killing intent! '
At that instant, Qin Mu felt his blood turn cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"This, this … We don't have any reason to fight, do we?" Qin Mu gritted his teeth and resisted the bone-piercing killing intent.
'How many people did she have to kill to condense such a strong killing intent?'
"That's true. Bye bye." Ming Xu nodded thoughtfully. Then, she turned around and muttered, "You're the one who said you're strong …"
Seeing her gradually leaving, Qin Mu did not know where his courage came from. He suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Ming Xu's clothes.
"Oh no, that guy's dead meat." Li Xiang was enjoying the show. When he saw Qin Mu's suicidal action, he could not help but cry out.
Back then, he had unknowingly touched Ming Xu's clothes and was almost beaten to death by her.
This clothes held a special meaning to her.
"Bam!"
Many people did not even get a clear look. They only heard a loud bang, and Qin Mu's tall body flew into the air like a kite!
