Chapter 112: State of Mind 2

  In the Imperial Academy, Xiao Yao encountered a strange thing. He thought he should need to go through formalities to enter, but strangely, when he came for the first time, the administrator only asked his name and then let him in to read books, even allowing him to see the innermost books.

  At the same time, you can also borrow books and take them away, no problem at all!

  At this time, Xiao Yao thought that it might be related to the old monk of Lanruo Temple. The old monk should have some influence in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't mind and continued reading books inside, borrowing books!

  For this, Xiaoyao also thanked the old monk, but the old monk was a bit bewildered. If no one had disturbed him, Xiaoyao would have known that things were not as he imagined.

  The old monk has a certain influence in this capital of the Tang Dynasty, and even throughout the entire Tang Empire. To let Xiao Yao have such treatment at the Hanlin Academy is actually a very simple matter, but it's not something he did!!

  Firstly, the old monk didn't know what Xiaoyao did during the day. Secondly, Xiaoyao hadn't spoken up, and he wouldn't take action because he thought Xiaoyao was someone who could handle things himself by speaking up, and this matter was a small problem that Xiaoyao should be able to resolve on his own; if he were to intervene, it would only make him feel like he owed Xiaoyao a favor.

  The old monk is not that kind of person who wants others to owe him a favor. If he can't grasp this, it will have the opposite effect and lead to great resentment!!

  If it wasn't the old monk, then who was it, or what was the reason?

  For this, Xiaoyao already knew. He wouldn't think too much about it either, because the most important thing is that his goal has been achieved, and the mistakes in the middle of the program have nothing to do with him, and he hasn't done anything wrong anyway.

  He will continue reading his book and finish it as soon as possible!!

  Time has passed half a month quickly, one match per day is slow. But it also makes the game enter the next round, eight matches of sixteen strong have been held for several games.

  In fact, one game a day is not to let the audience watch the players more seriously. More importantly, it allows the players to recover their combat effectiveness. After entering the top 32, the intensity has increased significantly. Almost every game has injuries, unless there is a huge gap in strength, but such situations are rare.

  But being injured can't show their strength, so there's a rest time, and the round of 16 will also be arranged according to the injury situation, even if it means dragging on, just to see the contestants' strength better, but it's not possible to drag on for too long, still with certain restrictions.

  And everyone is willing to wait, because this level of duel. Are extremely wonderful, and may be more wonderful than the decision of the emperor-level master, at least for ordinary people!

  Because the contestants in this match are all relatively close in strength, it is easier for them to engage in a fierce battle. Moreover, an ordinary person cannot comprehend the duel between two top-notch masters.

  Gu Xing was the first match in the round of 16, and she didn't get hurt from start to finish. She easily advanced all the way. Even in the round of 32, it was the same!

  The lone star's dominance left many people stunned, her opponent was a highly touted contender for the championship title, but in her hands he only lasted three moves before being knocked out with a single slap.

  And I believe that if it weren't for the match, this slap would have turned into a sword, and this seed player would already be dead!

  Soon, the true strength of Lone Star was exposed. A king-level warrior, and still only a 19-year-old king-level warrior, this is too terrifying! The youngest king-level warriors in history were all over twenty years old, but she's only nineteen!!

  Although it was only a few years ahead of time, the significance in between was completely different. At this time, Lonely Star had already been hailed as a genius girl, and the possibility of breaking through to become an Emperor-level warrior in the future was extremely high.

  Of course, no one would have thought that Lone Star would become an Emperor-level warrior in just a few years. This speed was still too fast for them to imagine, and they felt that even if he were a genius, it would take at least ten years or so.

  Apart from Gu Xing, Nan Gong Su Xin, Da Jie, Zhan Bai, and San Shao Ye also performed well. Although San Shao Ye has been eliminated, it's already impressive that he could hold on until now. However, it seems like a certain sect has taken notice of him, and this sect is not small in stature - it's one of the top ten sects.

  The remaining three, Nangong Suxin will meet Zhan Bai, and the big sister also fought yesterday and smoothly entered the top eight. In Nangong Suxin's words, the big sister was lucky!!

  The opponent of the big sister turned out to be barely saying that she was fine, but during the match, her injury recurred and was easily taken down by the big sister. It's possible that the opponent had an unknown reason, but the big sister's luck is not to be questioned.

  And next, the duel between Nangong Suzi and Zhan Bai was very exciting. Although Nangong Suzi won with a slight advantage, Zhan Bai's performance was astonishing. As an ordinary civilian without any resources, he used extremely common techniques to persist until now, and even managed to fight on par with Nangong Suzi, a near-king-level genius girl. All of this proved his worth!

  Although he lost, he gained more people's approval, glorious in defeat!!

  This defeat did not make those who were interested in him lose confidence, and they still came to find him, wanting to recruit him into their own sect's academy. Such talents are rarely seen, and as long as he is given abundant resources, his future achievements will surely be no less than those of the talented South Palace Su Xin.

  At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that Lone Star seemed to be a civilian as well, but why did she enter the King-level realm? Was it because her talent was too strong, or because she had resources that ordinary people didn't have?

  Curiosity about the Lone Star rose to another level at this time, and kind-hearted people went to investigate, but the news they received seemed unreliable. They said that the Lone Star had a small family member who had cultivated him bit by bit!

  Come on, can a family servant cultivate such a character? This is absolutely impossible!

  What's even more ridiculous is that they say this Jia Ding and Gu Xing are about the same age, or even that Gu Xing is a year younger. No mistake, Xiao Yao is eighteen years old this year, just barely an adult!!

  This information makes everyone feel unbelievable and doesn't believe that such a thing can happen. Can Xiaojia Ding be so strong? If it's really like this, is this still Xiaojia Ding?

  Even those old predecessors found it difficult to cultivate someone like Gu Xing, let alone an eighteen-year-old young master, this is absolutely impossible!

  "What are you talking about? Of course, it's not me who cultivated the boss. I just provided her with a cultivation environment and prepared the conditions for cultivation. All of this is her own effort!"

  It's another clear morning, Xiao Yao delivers breakfast to Wu Sheng Tang, has breakfast with Gu Xing and others, and chats about what happened the day before. Both sides talk about what they are going to do and share interesting things! When Xiao Yao hears Da Jie talking about the above-mentioned things, he shakes his head and says.

  "That's right, you're giving her a good environment and preparing the conditions, but isn't that what it takes to cultivate a person?" said Nangong Suzi.

  "This shouldn't count, because I'm the boss's family member, whatever she wants, I'll give it to her, this is what she herself wants, it doesn't count as me cultivating her!" Xīao shook his head in denial.

  "...". Nangong Suzi was silent for a moment, "With such a little homebody like you, it's really enviable. Gu Xing, when you don't want him anymore, just let me have him!"

  "No, I will never let him go to anyone else for this lifetime!!" Lonely Star shook his head and replied directly.

  "Show some respect, don't keep pushing me around in front of everyone! Although I'm just a household servant, I still have the right to choose! If the master doesn't want me, who can become my new master? It's still up to me to decide, not you guys!!" Xīao Yóu said with an air of disdain.

  "I won't reject you, I'm afraid that you will reject me!" Lonely Star looked at Xiao Yao with a somewhat melancholic tone, this expression was rarely seen on her usually cold face.

  "What right do you have to choose? You're just a small fry, and it's your honor that I'm taking you!" Nangong Suzi said with a smile, everyone knew she was just joking.

  "Even a small household servant like me has rights, don't force me to rebel!" said Xiao Yao.

  "You dare to rebel and see, I think you really want to rebel... uh..." Nangong Suxin said, suddenly discovering that her words were contradictory.

  "I'm done!" Every time Xiao Yao said this sentence, it was when he was about to leave. But at this moment, he suddenly stared into Nangong Suzhen's eyes for a long time.

  "What's wrong with what I'm doing? Is there something dirty in my eyes?" Nangong Suzi said, feeling a bit guilty, although she was sure she had already cleaned herself thoroughly, but it was also possible that she hadn't washed clean yet.

  Xiao Yao suddenly became serious and said: "Nan Gong Su Xin, today I see that your temples are black, as if there is a bloody disaster. Are you going to compete with someone today? If so, I'll accompany you together?"

  Nangong Suzhen was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Pfft, what nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning! I do have a competition today, but it's just a casual match, nothing will happen, and there are so many people watching! You should focus on studying, although I'd love to have you come cheer me up, but still can't delay your studies!"

  "Oh, in that case, be careful, if you encounter an opponent stronger than you, don't force yourself too much! Also, this bottle of medicine is for self-defense, take it as needed, as long as you're not dead, it's fine. I'll have a way to save you later!" Xīao Yóu said while handing Nángōng Sùxīn a porcelain bottle.
