The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 190: Damn, are you sick? (6k)

Entering the courtyard, the second uncle first bowed, then said, "Sir, this time when I returned to my hometown to visit my relatives, I ran into an old friend who is quite talented in formations."

"I once found an incomplete book on formations on a street stall. Who would have thought that with just this incomplete book, he could study it so hard and become a master by himself."

The second uncle's tone was filled with emotion, and he continued, "Such a rough gem, I don't want to see him buried, so I took the liberty of bringing him here. I hope you can give him a chance."

As the Second Master finished speaking, Zhou Qing immediately bowed respectfully: "Junior Zhou Qing, greetings to you, sir."

After hearing this, Lin Daochen was a little surprised, and then looked at Zhou Qing carefully.

"At such a young age, you're already in the early Nascent Soul stage. Not bad, especially to be so highly praised by Yun Ya."

Lin Daochen said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration and curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing quickly said humbly, "Sir, you are so kind."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and at the signal from the second uncle, he began to circulate the spiritual power in his body.

Immediately afterwards, a mark emitting a soft light slowly emerged, with runes flowing on it, faintly resonating with the surrounding spiritual power.

Seeing this scene, Lin Daochen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his originally calm face was instantly filled with surprise.

"You have actually condensed a spiritual seal. Did you really figure this out from a torn book?" Lin Daochen's face was full of surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to nod.

"Amazing, awesome!" Lin Daochen praised repeatedly, then asked with anticipation, "Are you willing to learn formation and restriction techniques from me?"

When Zhou Qing heard this, he was overjoyed. There was no reason for him to be unwilling.

He immediately knelt on his knees and bowed respectfully: "Student Zhou Qing, greetings to the teacher!"

Seeing this, Lin Daochen burst into laughter, and all his previous fatigue disappeared at this moment.

He immediately stepped forward and helped Zhou Qing up with both hands, his eyes full of joy.

The next moment, he suddenly looked up outside the yard and saw Lu Yuanzhi coming in at some point, exuding a cool aura.

"Master Lin, congratulations! You've gained another disciple with similar interests!"

Lu Yuanzhi bowed, and although his face was cold, his words also revealed some sincere congratulations.

Lin Daochen's face was filled with joy as he laughed heartily, "I am now an old man, and it is of course very gratifying to see talented young people following the same path as me."

"If I could become a lamp and help them illuminate the fog on this road, my life would be worthwhile. Master Lu, I'm sure you didn't come here just to congratulate me, right?"

Lu Yuanzhi's expression was still cold, and he said calmly: "This time, I really came to congratulate you!"

After saying this, he turned and left.

This made Lin Daochen stunned for a moment, but he didn't care about anything else and immediately took out a few formation flags. While forming seals with his hands, he injected spiritual power into the formation flags. Suddenly, the light became brighter and directly enveloped Zhou Qing.

"I'll give you time to break it!" Lin Daochen's voice entered the formation.

Zhou Qing, who was in the formation, felt as if he was in a place of hot magma for an instant, but such a temperature was not worth mentioning at all, whether for a late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator or a spark in the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

He even found the center of the formation quickly, but in order not to stand out too much, he pretended to frown, deliberately slowed down the pace, and began to break the formation bit by bit.

At the same time, at the corridor bridge in the outer courtyard, the two were waiting boredly. Yan Xiaohu found a few stones from somewhere and was skipping them on the water.

The outer court disciples around them were still whispering, looking at them from time to time, constantly curious about the identities of the two.

At this moment, Lu Yuanzhi appeared again. She looked directly at Lu Yaoyao with a cold gaze and said calmly, "Your senior brother has been accepted as an inner court disciple by Master Lin."

When Lu Yaoyao heard this, she was immediately excited.

"Can you come with me now?" Lu Yuanzhi asked calmly without changing his expression.

Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, then immediately stepped back and saluted respectfully, saying, "Student Lu Yaoyao, greetings to Master Lu."

"Then, what about me?" Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Yan Xiaohu with a cold expression, and seemed to have few words. He said bluntly: "You are not suitable for me."

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly comforted him, "Brother Yan, don't worry. With your qualifications, you will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard easily."

"Let's go, I'll handle the admission procedures for you!" Lu Yuanzhi looked at Lu Yaoyao, his tone slightly softened.

Lu Yaoyao hurried to catch up, with brisk steps and full of joy.

Yan Xiaohu was the only one left standing on the covered bridge.

"No, there are four of us here, and three of us are already in the inner courtyard. I, Yan Xiaohu, can't be worse than you!"

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu's competitive spirit was completely aroused again, just like when he faced the Cang Yan Dao Palace's kill list.

Without saying a word, he immediately took out his big knife that was shining with a cold light.

As the big knife came out, his whole body instantly exuded a strong sword intent, which was like a substance, turning into sharp edges, swirling and whistling in the air.

Then, he struck a very good pose, looking very majestic.

He just didn't believe that the instructors in this academy were all blind and would refuse such a great talent like him?
Wow!
At this moment, a figure in white suddenly landed on the top of the corridor bridge, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He slightly turned sideways, revealing half of his face, and he looked very young.

When Yan Xiaohu saw this, he was immediately delighted.

I was wondering, such a big academy, but there is no mentor.

But when he looked at the white clothes, his heart suddenly sank.

Filled with disappointment, he muttered to himself, "After all this time, he turned out to be an outer courtyard disciple. I thought he was my mentor."

At this moment, the figure with his back to Yan Xiaohu said leisurely: "Gold will always shine, but you are my old friend!"

Yan Xiaohu was stunned, frowned, and immediately looked at him and said, "What are you talking about?"

Unexpectedly, the other party continued: "Although I was wrong, it is your fault if you don't forgive me."

Yan Xiaohu's face was filled with displeasure, and he couldn't help but curse: "Are you fucking sick?"

The other party seemed not to hear his scolding, and continued to talk to himself: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a good person!"

Yan Xiaohu immediately stepped forward, wanting to see who the other person was. However, as soon as he approached, the other person jumped lightly to the opposite treetop and stood steadily on the branch.

But even so, he still turned his back to Yan Xiaohu and said leisurely: "I examine myself three times a day, and I am not wrong!"

Yan Xiaohu could no longer hold back. Holding a large knife, he pointed it forward and stood on the covered bridge, shouting angrily, "Nimrod, if you have the guts, come down and see for yourself."

The other party seemed not to be afraid at all, and continued: "I just like the way you can't stand me, but you can't get rid of me!"

Yan Xiaohu was furious. He stomped his foot hard, and spiritual power surged around him. He shot towards the man in white like lightning.

But the other party seemed to have anticipated Yan Xiaohu's actions. The moment Yan Xiaohu moved, he lightly tapped the treetops with his toes, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared among the layers of branches and leaves.

"Life is not easy, so don't blame yourself if you can blame others."

The other party's voice was still coming, making Yan Xiaohu tremble all over with anger, but he couldn't catch up.

"If you have the guts, don't run!" Yan Xiaohu roared at the top of his lungs.

But the other party's figure was like a ghost. Whenever Yan Xiaohu thought he was about to catch up, he would instantly distance himself from him.

“Don’t worry about what you can’t solve today, because you won’t be able to solve it tomorrow either!”

Listening to the other party's provocative words, Yan Xiaohu's eyes were red. He had never felt so aggrieved before. He roared to the sky and slashed forward with a terrifying sword energy...

……

"Well, I told you it's okay. The clothes look like they fit you well!"

After leaving Lin Daochen's residence, the second uncle took the warrant and took Zhou Qing to get a set of red clothes exclusive to the inner court disciples. The next step was to choose a cave.

Zhou Qing looked at the clothes and nodded with satisfaction. Then he said, "Master, how long do I need to stay here?"

The Second Master pondered for a moment and said, "That's up to you, but it must not be less than six months."

"Even though you have the inheritance of a fifth-level formation master, it will be difficult for you to make further progress by relying on your own closed-door cultivation. Master Lin has his own unique insights into formations, and you will understand later."

After hearing the second uncle's suggestion, Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao's surprised voice came.

When they turned around, they saw Lu Yaoyao also wearing a red dress, and behind her was Lu Yuanzhi with a cold expression.

Zhou Qing was stunned and immediately understood something.

Lu Yaoyao came over excitedly and quickly introduced herself to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing paid his respects immediately.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slightly and said, "You can talk about it later when you have a chance. I will take Yaoyao to choose a cave first."

"Senior Brother Zhou, I'll leave first!" Lu Yaoyao said.

Watching the two people leave, the second uncle clicked his tongue.

"Master Lu is an icy beauty, and she should be not far from beheading the soul. Sometimes I feel that she is deliberately suppressing herself!" said the second uncle.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing was shocked.

How many people dream of breaking through the Soul Severing Realm, but find it difficult to achieve it in their entire lives. Is she actually suppressing it?
"Let's go, everyone has their own secrets, and I'm not the kind of person who likes to pry into other people's secrets!"

The second uncle smiled and patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder, then took him out.

Not long after, after careful selection, Zhou Qing chose a cave with a good location.

The cave is located in a quiet valley in the college, surrounded by green trees, flowers and birds, and a clear stream flows in front of the cave.

Afterwards, the two of them went to the outer courtyard, after all, Yan Xiaohu was still waiting. But in less than two hours, when they saw Yan Xiaohu again, they found that he had been suppressed.

His body was tightly bound by several spiritual ropes. He lay on the ground unable to move, his face full of anger.

When Zhou Qing saw this scene, his heart tightened. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Yan Xiaohu.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Qing shouted angrily at several people in law enforcement uniforms.

The ones who suppressed Yan Xiaohu were three middle-aged men in the late Nascent Soul stage. They were the third echelon mentioned by the second uncle, and they came from various major sects.

Their faces were serious and stern. After seeing Zhou Qing and the Second Master, they nodded slightly. One of them asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zhou Qing didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and quickly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

The man said expressionlessly, "This person is not a student of our academy, yet he openly hunts down others. He simply disregards the rules of our academy."

Zhou Qing was shocked when he heard this. He immediately turned to look at Yan Xiaohu and asked anxiously, "Third Brother, what happened?"

Although Yan Xiaohu was restrained, his face was still filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "You said I killed someone. Who did I kill? Call that person over here and confront me in court!"

When the three law enforcers heard this, they looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment in their expressions.

To be honest, they didn't really see who the other party was.

But from a distance, he saw him chasing a white-robed disciple from the outer courtyard, so he had no choice but to suppress him first.

The person being chased was probably scared at this moment and no one knew where he ran to.

The second uncle came forward with a smile, and while no one was paying attention, he subtly stuffed a few high-quality spirit stones into the hands of several people.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Enforcers. This is definitely a misunderstanding. He was recommended by the two of us to join the academy."

The three of them looked at the red clothes on the second uncle and Zhou Qing, especially the second uncle. This man was deeply favored by Master Lin Daochen, and he would greet them warmly when they met by chance.

Since there were two inner disciples guaranteeing him and no victims came forward, the three of them had to let Yan Xiaohu go after weighing the pros and cons.

Afterwards, the leading law enforcement officer coughed lightly and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let it go. However, this won't happen again. The academy has strict rules, and even if someone has recommended someone, they won't be tolerated for acting recklessly."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your help!" The second uncle said politely with a smile on his face.

The other party reached out and untied the spiritual rope that bound Yan Xiaohu. After a few brief greetings, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurried forward and asked with concern, "Third Brother, are you okay?"

Yan Xiaohu moved his wrist which was painfully tightened by the spiritual power rope, suppressed his anger and groaned.

"Don't let me catch that guy, otherwise I will definitely kill him!" Yan Xiaohu said gritting his teeth.

After sending the law enforcement officer away, the second uncle turned around, looked at Yan Xiaohu, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's going on?"

Yan Xiaohu had no choice but to explain the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, the second uncle couldn't help but laugh. Then, looking at Yan Xiaohu's angry expression, he said jokingly, "There are only eight instructors in the academy. They are all busy with their own affairs. No one is so idle as to do something like this."

"You look like an outer courtyard disciple. You can't even catch up after being insulted. You really are..."

The second uncle didn't know what words to use to describe it for a moment, and Yan Xiaohu's face turned red, but he didn't know how to refute.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurried out to smooth things over, comforting him, "Alright, alright, let's talk about this later. Master, my third senior brother is also quite talented. He once had Infant Fire before forming an Infant, and he also built his foundation through the Earth Veins. Do any other instructors have..."

"Fourth Brother!" Yan Xiaohu interrupted Zhou Qing anxiously before he could finish his words.

Then he said firmly, "I won't go into the inner courtyard. Damn it, you've screwed me like this, how can I let this go so easily? I'll stay in the outer courtyard. I don't believe I can't find him."

The second uncle listened, smiled and nodded, and said: "Where you fell, you must get up from there. I support this silly tiger. Now Zhou Xiaozi and I are both students in the inner courtyard. Anyone can guarantee you and you can stay in the outer courtyard."

"Thank you, uncle!" Yan Xiaohu said gratefully after hearing this.

Then, the three of them walked towards the college admissions office.

Along the way, Yan Xiaohu kept muttering about the hateful behavior of the man in white, his words full of anger and unwillingness.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to comfort him with a smile, and even wondered if the other party was an enemy he once knew, provoking him for no reason, as if he was deliberately trying to make him make a mistake.

Yan Xiaohu had no idea that from beginning to end, he had his back to him and he didn't even see his face.

Not long after, after completing some formalities, Yan Xiaohu successfully became a student of the external school.

Looking at the outer courtyard student token and clothes in his hand, he snorted coldly.

"Wait for me!"

…………

Inside the cave, Zhou Qing held several dust-purifying talismans that had been distributed to him, muttering something.

As the talisman paper glowed, it suddenly turned into invisible streams of air that quickly shuttled through the cave.

Wherever he went, dust fell. Soon, the entire cave looked brand new and was filled with a fresh scent.

Zhou Qing looked around with satisfaction, then took out his bedding from the storage bag, spread it out carefully, and lay down on it comfortably, feeling the long-lost comfort.

After eating the spirit stone powder, the old hen became extremely energetic and jumped onto the bed with a "cuckoo" sound.

Then he stood by the bed, tilted his head, and stared at Zhou Qing closely. A hint of humane thought suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Qing stretched lazily, then looked at the jade slip in his hand. This was the jade slip that Lin Daochen had given him temporarily after breaking the formation today.

It records in detail Lin Daochen's various understandings of the prohibitions, which can be regarded as a kind of experience note. I hope Zhou Qing will study it carefully first so that he can keep up with the progress when the formal class starts in a few days.

As Zhou Qing gently injected spiritual power into the jade slip, in an instant, a series of mysterious formation diagrams and densely packed texts appeared in his mind.

After taking a closer look, I have to say that Master Lin really has his own unique insights into battle formations.

Some unique ideas and novel solutions actually gave Zhou Qing an epiphany.

For a moment, I was fascinated by it and completely immersed in it.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the second uncle a little.

At the same time, in a residence somewhere in the outer courtyard, everything was silent.

Yan Xiaohu, who had fallen asleep, suddenly sat up from the bed, his chest heaving violently.

"No, he must be sick!"

The more Yan Xiaohu thought about it, the angrier he became. Just now, he dreamed of that shameless villain with his back to him. He even had a blister at the corner of his mouth.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside, and Yan Xiaohu was stunned.

Who is it here in the middle of the night?

Senior Brother Li? The Fourth Brother or Junior Sister Lu?
After a brief hesitation, he stood up and walked over. As he opened the door, he saw the nightmare-like figure appear again on the treetops not far away under the bright moon.

He still had his back to Yan Xiaohu, turned his head slightly, and said, "It's not that I look down on you, but I didn't even look at you!"

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Yan Xiaohu roared angrily, and with a slash of his sword, he chased after him...

The next day, Zhou Qing, who was still immersed in Teacher Lin's notes, received a message from the academy's law enforcement officer and hurried out.

As soon as he arrived at the outer courtyard, he met Lu Yaoyao who had also received the news. The two looked at each other, and without saying anything more, they hurried towards the direction of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Soon, they saw Yan Xiaohu tied to a stone pillar with a look of frustration on his face.

"Third senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Qing hurried forward, spiritual power surging in his hands, and directly tore the rope apart.

Yan Xiaohu was about to say something when several law enforcement officers came out and immediately looked unhappy.

The leading law enforcement officer frowned, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and majesty. He said coldly, "Zhou Qing, even if you are a student of the Inner Court, you are too disrespectful to our Law Enforcement Hall. What is the meaning of untying the prisoner's restraints without permission?"

His voice was deep and powerful, and there was a pressure from the Nascent Soul Great Perfection that directly covered Zhou Qing.

But Zhou Qing acted as if nothing had happened and was busy checking the injuries on his third senior brother's body. Fortunately, he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing slowly raised his head and looked at them coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife. He said, "I only know that you kidnapped my senior brother and made him suffer humiliation here. What do you mean by that?"

For some reason, when they met Zhou Qing's gaze, they suddenly felt a chill on their backs, as if an invisible chill was crawling up their spines.

What was even more bizarre was that they couldn't help but feel an urge to kneel down and surrender.

Yan Xiaohu didn't want the fourth brother to get into a fight with them, so he quickly said, "I'm fine. They were just doing their job impartially. They ran a little far last night and disturbed others."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing put away his imperial power.

The few people who had returned to normal felt their backs covered in cold sweat, and their clothes were soaked without them knowing when.

What a evil nature!
This guy named Zhou Qing seems to have been promoted to an inner court student yesterday. It seems like he is another one of those people who is pretending to be a pig but is actually a tiger.

"What's going on?" Zhou Qing asked.

Yan Xiaohu sighed, his face full of helplessness, and had to tell everything that happened last night.

This made Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao look at each other in bewilderment.

No, who is the other party?

Why do I only look for you and not others?
After a brief hesitation, Zhou Qing suddenly looked at the law enforcement officers with a smile, and imitating the second uncle, several high-quality spirit stones appeared in his hands, which he quietly handed over under the cover of his sleeves.

"I'm truly sorry, my lords. I was just too impatient, but you should have heard that my brother was simply provoked by that person. He's not usually like this."

As Zhou Qing spoke, he smiled widely, bowed repeatedly to apologize, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

The faces of several people froze. They first looked around subconsciously. After confirming that no one was paying attention, they turned slightly to the side and used their wide sleeves to sweep the spirit stones into their storage bags without leaving any trace. Their movements were skillful and concealed.

After all, no one wants to go against money, and it may even offend two inner court students.
