Even though the news of the night of blood flowing through the Kingdom Supervisor Temple was still spreading, it was hard to conceal the joy and anticipation people had for the last day of the year.

When night fell again, the events of the previous night seemed to disappear with the wind and snow.

Every household was decorated with lanterns, welcoming the Spring Festival couplets. They were preparing for the last sumptuous dinner.

It was the same for the Red Star Academy.

The two hundred students gathered around the fire, singing and dancing, and chatted as they recounted their own stories.

"I've thought about it. Cultivation is too tiring, so I think it's best if I go back and study business with my father." A young man spoke up.

"Then I wish you the earliest chance of becoming a great merchant."

"What about you? What do you think? "

"I want to become a true expert."

"Me too."

"Me too …"

"I want to become a king and slaughter my way to the Zhongzhou!"

This night only belonged to them.

That night, their feelings had unknowingly solidified.

In succession, they declared their dreams. There were also people who calmly declared that they would leave the cultivation world, and there were even people who swore that they would become an unparalleled expert.

Several hours later, when someone asked Ji Linger what his dream was, she fell silent.

She was a high and mighty princess, and a long time ago, her dream had been to escape from that hypocritical world. Three years ago, her dream had been to become a peerless expert and break free from her family's terrifying prison.

Now, she had no dreams.

This was because she knew very well that becoming a peerless expert was simply too difficult.

But that was a dream. It was impossible.

After she finished cultivating Red Star Academy, she would probably return to the clan and become a powerful sacrifice for her clan.

Seeing that she was not willing to speak, the man looked towards Qin Meng: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what is your dream?"

Qin Meng paused for a moment, put down the wine jug, and said seriously: "Beat this old fellow up ruthlessly."

The others were puzzled. "Who is this old fogey?"

Qin Meng said again, "Your Principal."

Pfft!

Some students who had just drunk their fill spurted out a mouthful of wine.

The other people all had black lines across their faces as they coughed dryly, before quickly shifting their gaze to Li Yi. "Junior Brother, what is your dream?"

Swish!

Once this was said, everyone's gazes fell on Li Yi.

In the Red Star Academy, it could be said that Li Yi was a miracle. He had not been enlightened in three years.

Many people were curious about such a person.

Li Yi was in a trance, and became a bit more clear-headed. After thinking for a bit, he said: "Beat Fourth Brother up."

The news of Li Yi being accepted by the Principal as a disciple had not been spread, so many people did not know of the relationship between him and Qin Meng. Now, he actually said that he wanted to beat up Fourth Senior Brother, and for a moment, everyone was curious, who exactly was this so-called Fourth Senior Brother?

Someone could not help but ask, "Who is Fourth Senior Brother?"

Li Yi smiled but did not reply.

Qin Meng could not sit still and looked at Li Yi with his big eyes.

"Is there anyone in the academy who calls him Fourth Senior?"

"I don't know."

Chen Meng, who was at the side, could not help but speak out. "The Fourth Senior Brother that he mentioned is your Senior Brother Qin!"

Pfft!

Another mouthful of wine spurted out, as everyone stared dumbstruck at Li Yi, before looking at him again.

Qin Meng shouted that he wanted to beat the dean up, but Li Yi yelled that he wanted to beat him up.

"Come, come, come. Drink and eat. Cheer up. Today is the last day of the year."

"Right, right, right, drink!"

"We're not leaving until we're drunk!"

"Fuck that big family."

"This world is too unfair."

"That's right!"

Some of them were slightly drunk, spitting out thoughts that had been suppressed for a long time.

Gradually, the night grew darker.

Among the two hundred of them, more than half of them were drunk.

Amongst them, Li Yi was no exception, only some of the women who had not drunk alcohol were still conscious.

A few more hours passed, and the flames dimmed, then the figures turned around and left one after another.

Not long after, most of the figures had left, leaving behind some that were drunk, some that had serious expressions, and some that had eyes full of spring. Obviously, they wanted to confess to their loved ones that night.

Qin Meng carried his wine pot and left the place.

Li Yi drunkenly growled. "Don't stop me, I want to beat him up."

"Let me tell you, my Kingdom Supervisor Temple has been destroyed, and he's only ranked fourth. He had to be beaten up, and now he's calling me ugly."

"Hey, who are you? Why do they look so familiar? "

"And who are you? "No need to help me, I'm not drunk."

Chen Meng and Ji Linger looked at each other, then silently released the hand that was supporting Li Yi.

After ten minutes or so, Li Yi suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "The sword is the world's sharpest weapon, but it is also lonely, you guys must remember."

"I am Li Yi. One day, I will attack Zhongzhou. Any big families, Sacred Grounds, or geniuses, I will kill them all."

"Those who block me, die!"

"I said, don't help me. I'm not drunk."

Weng! *

Carrying the black greatsword, he began to brandish it. However, his sword stance was not very good. Perhaps it was because he had never practiced true swordsmanship before.

Chen Meng sighed: "Let him be!"

Ji Linger's body stiffened as he muttered: "How did you know each other?"

Chen Meng laughed: "We live and die together, we experience hardships and true emotions."

Ji Linger subconsciously tightened his grip, and looked at her. "Did you know? Senior already has someone you like. "

Chen Meng replied casually, "I know."

Ji Linger frowned: "You shouldn't have done this."

Chen Meng said: "How am I?"

Ji Linger opened his mouth: "You shouldn't have approached Senior Brother with a purpose, you shouldn't have taken advantage of Senior Brother's lack of feelings, the way you are now will only make people hate you."

Chen Meng laughed, "Aren't you the same as me?"

Ji Linger slightly opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Compared to him saying that Chen Meng was wrong, wasn't he the same as well?

However, she had thought that she could control it well and keep it at the proper distance. Unexpectedly, in the end, she discovered that she couldn't control it at all.

Maybe!

Ji Linger sighed, and did not say another word.

After a long while, Li Yi was completely exhausted and with a "plop" sound, he fell down.

The two girls quickly went up and helped him up from his left and right.

The night was very peaceful.

The sky above the capital, as always, was filled with the drifting wind and falling snow.

In the small courtyard, there was a sleeping beast and two of them looked even more like two wild beasts lying in wait. Although they did not speak, they looked at each other with extremely high vigilance and aggression, as if the next moment, these two ferocious beasts would pounce towards each other and engage in a battle to the death.

After a long while, Ji Linger opened his mouth first: "You can go back now, after all, you aren't a student of the academy."

Chen Meng chuckled, "Then why don't you go back? as if you were the owner of the yard. "

Ji Linger opened his eyes wide, and said somewhat angrily: "Even though I am not the owner of the courtyard, I am still the friend of the courtyard mistress, and you are not."

Chen Meng scoffed, "I'm a friend of the owner of the courtyard."

The atmosphere froze again, and the two girls looked at each other warily. The room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

After half an hour, Chen Meng compromised and became tired. She needed to return to the shop to organize her things, so after bidding farewell, she turned and left.

Of course, she secretly warned Ji Linger before she left.

It was snowing heavily outside the window.

The air in the room was extremely cold, but the ice-cold air was still unable to obstruct Ji Linger's burning heart.

Gradually, the lights went out.

Ji Linger stood up, and walked step by step towards Li Yi who was on the wooden bed. His gaze was gentle, and he said softly: "Senior Brother, do you know? You are the best person Ling'er has ever seen, and sometimes I am very envious of Senior Wen. Maybe it's because she came here a year earlier than me, so we met.

"Perhaps in the near future, I will return to my clan, but I do not wish to return. I hate that clan."

"Ling'er has liked you for a long time."

"Ling'er will give herself to you. After you wake up, you might not remember anything, but Ling'er will remember you." She said this with a smile that was not a smile and a cry that was not a cry. Her sparkling tears quietly rolled down her face, bit by bit wetting her clothes.

Her gaze was so gentle, so gentle, as if she wanted to melt the person she loved in her heart.

Gradually, she came to the wooden bed …
