The puppets' stage play

Chapter 263 The so-called blue bird stands alone

Qi Xiu stayed in the room and never went out. The three of them came back the next day, each with surprises on their faces. They learned about the summons order, but they didn't quite understand what it had to do with them. Why did Qi Xiu look so solemn? look.

But they didn't take the initiative to ask. After all, this was just their private instruction and did not get the other party's permission.

In the sky of Qingjing, airships came from far away from time to time, and they were all received by elite students from the past three schools. They also asked Qi Xiu for his opinion, but they were ignored by the other party claiming that something had happened.

Qi Xiu stood on the balcony, watching the scenes that were coming one after another in the distance through his eyes, with no emotion on his face.

Then, he turned around and returned to the house. In front of him were three people standing solemnly, silently waiting for Qi Xiu's instructions.

"Xia Ying, Moxibustion Blade, Xi Shou" he called the three of them by their real names, his eyes full of indifference.

"I won't go to that Feiluodu. It's a trap. We have to leave."

The three of them were shocked when they heard the news.

"Then Master, our management of this world, and these humans..." Box Shadow asked hesitantly.

"I gave up. Even if I am just a 'corporal', I admit it. Just a little profit is not enough to make me take risks." Qi Xiu shook his head gently, his eyes full of determination.

Xia Ying then stopped talking. As for the other two, it didn't matter. They only followed each other's orders. Even Xia Ying didn't feel sorry for them, but out of his duty, he gave reasonable opinions to the other party.

Qi Xiu suddenly looked at the sky, his eyes becoming solemn.

"It's just that it's not that simple for us to leave now."

The three of them couldn't help but be silent. Indeed, as they got closer to the 'reality' of this world, the world's constraints on them became stronger and stronger. They had already tried it before, and any spell involving space movement, once they had When you enter the thought, a sense of fear will arise in your heart.

It was as if there was an inexplicable threat waiting for them at the other end of the road. Even their attempts to 'return' failed and they were restricted here.

"As we know, the door to the outside of this world has been 'locked', and we have no way to escape. Our enemies will tighten the rope around our necks little by little, gradually suffocating us to death."

"They are trying to force us to go to a certain place and then catch us all. Even if we don't go, the trap will eventually spread to our side and swallow us up."

"So, our top priority now is to find the breaking point and understand the reason for all this."

"For this, we need..."

"Have you found Sister Liduo?" Mamoru frowned and received a look of approval from Qi Xiu.

"What should we do to find her who disappeared..." Moxibustion Blade whispered, and he was also thinking hard.

"..." Xia Ying fell into deep thought.

Qi Xiu nodded happily, then looked downstairs.

Ding-dang-dang, the doorbell rang downstairs. Qi Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise as to why the other party was here. He thought for a moment, then walked down the stairs first to open the door for the other party.

"Pa! How are you? I'm here to see you."

The person raised a hand, spread out all five fingers at the same time, and made a snapping sound in his mouth. There was a smile on his face, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Qi Xiu frowned and looked at him coldly.

"It's so strange that I came here to see you." The visitor shook his head, his words looked sad, but his smile was not gloomy at all, instead it looked like a joke.

"...Liang Bailian, I didn't transfer the authority to you just to let you idle around."

Qi Xiu's tone became more serious, causing the visitor's face to stiffen. The latter sighed and looked at Qi Xiu with a headache.

"You really can only talk about business. Well, in fact, I do have something to tell you when I come here. Dean Yu wants to see you."

"After all, you have been using physical discomfort as an excuse these past few days, so the dean asked me to come see you and ask you to see him in private."

Liang Bailian's words were a little melancholy, and then she straightened up and told the reason why she came here.

Qi Xiu's eyes narrowed. The guy wanted to see him. At this critical moment, he was silent for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go"

He strode forward. He didn't want to negotiate with the other party at this time. However, since everyone was coming to the door, it would be too blunt for him to refuse. To avoid suspicion, it would be better for him to take the initiative.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Liang Bailian exclaimed, running in small steps to keep up with him, then smiled again and tried to continue talking to Qi Xiu, but Qi Xiu was indifferent.

As Mamoru watched the two of them leave, Qi Xiu turned his head, waved his hand towards the door, and then turned around and left.

Click, the door is closed.

The two of them drifted apart.

Qingjing, no, the conference room of Yucai College.

Qi Xiu opened the door with a calm expression, and there was a smiling old man sitting in the center of the room. He waved his hand gently, and other people in the house left one after another. Liang Bailian stopped outside the door, waiting for the others to leave, and closed the door silently. He went to the door and shut himself and others out.

He looked away, and in front of him was the old man's appraising gaze.

"Haha, our busy man finally went out. How is your health?" The old man smiled slightly and asked with kind eyes.

Qi Xiu did not answer immediately. He first glanced at the small door on the right side of the room, and then moved his gaze to Yu Zehao, whose smile remained unchanged.

"……thanks to you"

"You..." Listening to Qi Xiu's perfunctory words, the old man shook his head helplessly, without much intention of blaming him.

"Sorry, I had a lot of things to do before, so I ignored your feelings for the time being. Don't worry, Tai Nian's incident will not affect you. You just need to keep working hard."

His eyes were full of expectation, a look that longed for the growth of young people, and what he had to say... seemed a bit urgent.

Qi Xiu stared at the other person, and he felt a little interested when he heard the other person mention that familiar name.

"How is Kang Tainian?" he asked simply.

Yu Zehao's eyes changed, and he looked at Qi Xiu with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes a little deep.

After an unspeakable silence, he spoke slowly.

"Do you still remember the name Tu Lin?" His voice was not heavy, but seemed unusually light, like a whisper on his lips.

Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"It's a pity that a student actually committed suicide like that. That kind of death was really difficult."

Yu Zehao sighed with emotion, as if he was expressing regret, but also as if he was... warning.

"Student understands" Qi Xiu lowered his head and expressed his respect.

"Well, children can be taught!" Yu Zehao stroked his beard with satisfaction, and the previous topic was naturally dropped.

"Don't worry, Tai Nian is my student, and I will naturally not let him suffer. Speaking of which, you are Tai Nian's student, and I am Tai Nian's teacher. We can also be regarded as a 'teacher-student' relationship. Haha, I think It’s really exciting to think about it.”

"You are serious. I think all students are your disciples in your eyes."

"Well! It's true that he is a person that Tai Nian is optimistic about. He has cultivated an outstanding talent."

"No, I'm still far behind and need more learning."

"You, hahaha!"

Yu Zehao pointed at Qi Xiu and laughed, then said something seemingly casually.

"It seems that your health is already well, so you can start studying normally. In addition, I will take care of your duties for you, so you don't have to worry about other things."

Qi Xiu raised his head and stared at each other, but Yu Zehao was still smiling.

"Students understand," he replied calmly.

"Students' bounden duty is to study, and there is no need to consider anything else. This is what I am most dissatisfied with about Tai Nian. If there is no solid foundation, how can we move towards the future?"

There was a bit of dissatisfaction in Yu Zehao's tone, but it was not necessarily directed at someone who did not exist here.

"What you said is true." Qi Xiu looked at the other party with an expressionless face.

Yu Zehao smiled, waved his hand, and signaled Qi Xiu to leave. Then he buried his head in the desk and processed the documents displayed on it.

Qi Xiu nodded, twisted his steps, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Oh, stability should be the priority here..." Yu Zehao's meaningful words came from behind. Qi Xiu didn't care. He opened the door and showed a cold expression to Liang Bailian who had been waiting outside. smile.

The latter's eyes were blank, and he turned his head with slightly red cheeks.

"Let's go, I'm going to study too. I've worked hard on you during this time."

After Qi Xiu finished speaking, he ignored the other party's reaction and strode forward. After a moment, rapid footsteps sounded from behind, and then a soft voice spoke.

"...I just put the bet on you, you don't want to lose."

"That day will never come. I have decided since I was born that I will keep winning. I will not lose unless I die!"

Liang Bailian stopped subconsciously. She stared blankly at the other person's leaving figure. Looking at the figure without hesitation, she understood that the other person was different from her after all. How far could he go with his firm belief? Woolen cloth?

Curiosity arose in her heart, so she ran regardless of her appearance. She wanted to catch up with the figure in front of her, and then tell him that she——

However, just for a moment, her perspective reached the ground, and the stinging pain from her right foot reminded her. Only then did she realize that she had fallen. She raised her head and looked forward, only to see Dude stopped on the ground. From a distance, he was looking at her coldly, without any sign of coming to help her.

Qi Xiu watched Liang Bailian fall down like that. He wanted to give her a hand, but when he thought of his current situation, he stopped.

He had originally planned to leave, and it was not advisable to have too close a relationship with the other party. He even cut off contact with Song Sheng and Wu Sheng because of this consideration. Only if they had a bad relationship with him could they survive after he left.

Qi Xiu turned his head coldly and left without looking back. Liang Bailian was no longer of use to him, and now was a good time to give up on her.

Liang Bailian stared blankly at the other person's leaving figure, sniffing her ugly nose in a hopeless manner. She wiped her face with determination on her face.

She gritted her teeth, stretched her arms, inhaled sharply, raised her upper body, and used her left foot for a moment to stand up. Her body swayed for a moment, and then she barely stood firm. She slowly lowered her right foot, and a throbbing pain left her. She gasped.

Then she looked forward, with a look of reluctance on her face, and her reddish eyes were full of determination, like a proud white swan.

Qi Xiu paused for a moment, then continued walking. Soon after, a painful inhalation came from behind him, and it got closer and closer to him. He ignored it and continued to move forward.

He didn't stop until something caught the hem of his clothes. He turned his head indifferently and met Liang Bailian's firm eyes.

Qi Xiu watched Liang Bailian panting heavily, her body almost falling to the ground, her legs shaking slightly, especially her right foot, and then he heard her say.

"I will... catch up... with you, and... I won't... run away anymore!"

"Let's start over!"

The more she spoke, the smoother she became. After speaking, she looked at Qi Xiu expectantly.

"Haha, you're such an ignorant guy, you don't even know what I'm doing."

Qi Xiu sneered, looked at Liang Bailian with contempt, whose eagerness turned into silence, and then said flatly.

"It was impossible for me and you from the beginning, just give up your heart."

"We're done long ago!"

Qi Xiu pulled the hem back from the opponent's hand, then smiled coldly and walked straight to the center of the academy.

Liang Bailian stared at Qi Xiu for a long time, but she never caught up with him.

dong dong dong.

"He has left. Come out." Yu Zehao stood up, then turned his head and said to the small door on one side.

With a creak, the door was opened from the inside, and Schneider and Ben walked out one after another.

"Is that person one of the suspects mentioned by Captain Bono? Nothing special about him?"

"At least his steps are 'steady' and so is his heart."

The two expressed their opinions respectively.

"It's just a little test, and we don't expect him to show anything strange. The most important thing for us at the moment is to gather talents and go to Feiluoji. The other things are just trivial matters. After all, the mission that Captain Bono gave us before leaving cannot be messed up. "

Yu Zehao concluded, and the two nodded in agreement.

"May tomorrow be better!!!" the three of them wished in unison.
