Chapter 13 Sword Alliance, Fire Kirin ()

I don’t know if it happened or because I heard someone running towards me, Liu Xiaoru, who had been standing on the bridge facing the Xin'an River, suddenly looked at Yang Jun.

At this time, Yang Jun was about fifteen meters away from her. Seeing her suddenly looking over, Yang Jun unconsciously hesitated a little. He was surprised by her clear big eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Xiaoru suddenly saw Yang Jun here, and then he immediately laughed brightly after being stunned for a moment. He shouted loudly to Yang Jun, who was hesitating, "Oh! Come here quickly! Why are you delaying?"

Seeing that she was still the same as when she was in school before, Yang Jun immediately relaxed and ran over with brisk steps.

"Hi! Are you still practicing your throat during holidays?"

Because he had never been in a relationship, although Yang Jun tried hard to be more generous and casual, his slightly red face and his hand that were not sure whether it was better to put it in his pocket or to put it outside, still made him look a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoru didn't mind, and even looked at his embarrassed look and felt very interesting, with smiles in her eyes.

"Yes! Like us who learn to sing, if we don't practice our throat for a day, we will feel itchy. If we don't practice the whole holiday, wow! The pronunciation level will definitely drop significantly!"

"By the way! Why did you come here early in the morning?"

Looking at Yang Jun's sportswear and sneakers, she suddenly laughed halfway through her question.

"I didn't see it before! You actually like morning jogging! By the way, have you run every morning? Why haven't you seen you before? Didn't you just started morning jogging this morning? Or..."

She suddenly jokingly put her face in front of Yang Jun's face, staring at Yang Jun's eyes with a smile, and continued to ask: "Or...Where did you know that I'm here every morning, so you deliberately pretended to be running, but actually came to approach me?"

The joking smile on her face made Yang Jun know that she was joking, but he knew in his heart that if he had known that she had been here every morning, he would have really developed the habit of "morning running".

Therefore, although it was a coincidence today, his face turned slightly red. However, of course, he would not really admit it like this, but his rebuttal seemed to be confident.

"No, no! I'm really here to run!"

"Hehe! I guessed it was guessed..."

Liu Xiaoru pointed at the blush on his face and smiled happily.

"What are you doing this holiday? Have you ever gone out?"

After laughing, Liu Xiaoru asked Yang Jun, whose face was already very red.

"I haven't gone out! I'm playing games at home!"

Tickling his head, Yang Jun replied with a hint that although he had gained a lot of benefits in the game during this period, he said in front of his beloved girl that he had been playing games, and he always felt a little difficult to speak out, and he felt that he was not doing his job properly and had no motivation at all.

"Jianghu? Are you playing "Jianghu"?"

Hearing him say that he had been playing games at home, Liu Xiaoru's eyes lit up, and she did not frown like Yang Jun was worried. Instead, she continued excitedly: "I also bought a game helmet a few days ago and planned to enjoy this summer vacation, but... I have never played games before. Although this game seems very fun, I have only played it for a while and I don't understand many things. You are a boy and you must know more about games than we girls. Otherwise! How about you bring me with you?"

"Take you?"

Yang Jun was a little dizzy and thought: No! Why is she reacting like this? It’s completely different from what I guess!

"Well! Take me to fight monsters and upgrade! Or explore treasure hunting or something, it's fine! What? Don't you want to?"

Liu Xiaoru said excitedly at first, then suddenly remembered that she should ask Yang Jun’s opinion.

"No, no! Of course I do! Why would I not? We have such a good relationship...haha!"

Seeing that she actually suspected that she was unwilling to level up with her, Yang Junsheng was afraid that she would say something like "I won't bother you" and quickly declared that she was definitely willing.

"That's right! I'm such a beautiful girl, and I'll give you some money! Hehe..."

Seeing Yang Jun so anxious to express his willingness, Liu Xiaoru happily slapped him on the shoulder, as generous as a boy.

When they finally parted, they agreed to meet at the gate of the north city of Phoenix City at 8:30.

(Liu Xiaoru also happens to be in Phoenix City.)

After parting with Liu Xiaoru, Yang Jun ran home quickly. When he came back, his mother and father had already gone to work, leaving porridge for him in the pot. After washing, he drank two bowls of millet porridge and put on a game helmet and entered the game.

If you can play games with the girl you like, you will feel better just by thinking about it.

After entering the game, he lifted his iron sword and looked at the time on his wrist. It was already 7:41, and quickly left Wang Yang's small courtyard and rushed to the north gate.

When he was about to arrive at the North City Gate, a small man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek suddenly called him.

"Hey! Wait! Wait!"

"What's up?"

Yang Jun stopped and looked at the man in confusion. After searching through his memory, he did not remember who this man was. Looking at the completely unfamiliar face of the man in front of him, Yang Jun put his right hand on the hilt of the sword quietly.

The man had no bad eyesight and saw Yang Jun's reaction at a glance. His face turned much pale at the time. He glanced at the iron sword in Yang Jun's hand with some fear. He quickly shook his head, waved his hand, and apologized continuously: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I recognized the wrong person, I thought it was my brother-in-law! I'm sorry! You've delayed your time, I'm sorry!"

While apologizing repeatedly, the man quickly retreated and ran away, for fear that Yang Jun would draw out his sword and chop him up.

Yang Jun watched him leave with a cold look, and saw that he didn't look malicious and continued to rush to the city gate.

Yang Jun didn't know that as soon as he walked away, he dialed the communicator on his wrist.

"Hey! Head! I just saw the man who ordered the search for the first seat, and I saw it near the North City Gate!"

...

"Yes! Yes! Yes! OK! Head! I will follow him closely. When you bring someone over, the young man will never let that boy leave my sight. Don't worry!"

...

After the call ended, the man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stared at Yang Jun's back with a "spray" and spitted a thick mouthful of old phlegm at his feet, sneering and said, "Boy! Let's see how long you can be arrogant!"

After saying that, his body flashed into a small alley next to him.

...

When Yang Jun trotted to the North City Gate, he looked around for a few times. However, because the appearance of the players in the game was very different from the real people in reality, it was completely futile for him to use his eyes to find Liu Xiaoru in the game.

He also knew this, so after searching for two rounds, he found that there was no clue at all. He lowered his head and called the message number that Liu Xiaoru had just given him.

"Dou...dou...dou..."

As soon as the communicator was dialed, the communicator's call sounded behind him, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

"you……"

When he turned his head, he saw a girl standing behind him with height and Liu Xiaoru's appearance in reality.

The girl was wearing a black mage robe, holding a white staff about two feet long, and looked at him with a smile.

Intuition told him that the girl in front of him who looks very different from Liu Xiaoru is Liu Xiaoru!

"Are you Xiaoru?"

Hesitating, Yang Jun asked.

"Ha! Can't recognize it? Hehe!"

As soon as the girl spoke, the familiar voice immediately made Yang Jun affirm that she was Liu Xiaoru.

"Are you a mage?"

Yang Jun asked.

Seeing her outfit, Yang Jun remembered a rumor I heard by chance. It was said that seven magicians in the West traveled across the ocean to the Central Plains, determined to spread magic in the Central Plains. But he heard that in the face of countless magical skills in the Central Plains, Western magic was simply unbearable. The seven people's magic propagation career has always been limited to the state of more than a hundred magic apprentices.

"yes!"

Liu Xiaoru raised the staff in her hand and pouted and said, "It's a pity that I'm just a magic apprentice, and I'm still learning theory and practicing mental power. Don't look at me wearing a mage robe and holding a magic wand, I can't even send out a single magic now!"

Yang Jun didn't know anything about the profession of mage. After hearing what she said, he frowned and said, "No way? You can't even send out a magic. How can you magician level up in the early stage?"

After hearing this question, Liu Xiaoru thought about it and answered it.

"Uh...why? Magicians are very different from the warriors you practice martial arts! You martial arts practitioners can generally be much better than ordinary people after ten days and half a month of practice. If you practice for one or two years, you may even beat several people, but this is not the case for us magicians! We learn magic, we must first learn magic theory in the early stage and cultivate our own mental power. The mental power of ordinary people is generally around 100 points, while those who learn magic only can use the magic power of the staff to perform primary magic, such as ice arrows, fireballs, wind blades, earth thorns, etc.!"

"oh?"

Yang Jun heard about magic for the first time and was very excited. He followed and asked, "How long does it usually take for your magic theory and spiritual cultivation?"

"I heard from my master that it's enough for about a month to have a good talent, but if you don't have a good talent, you may not be able to cultivate your mental power to above 800 points in your lifetime."

Looking at the bright smile on her face, Yang Jun forgot what she said before that she could not even send out magic, and continued to ask: "How long have you been learning magic? Have you had your mental power exceeded 800 points?"

Liu Xiaoru gave him a blank look, but was not angry, and answered with a smile.

"I told you that I only started playing games this summer vacation. Calculate the time. I haven't had more than two months since I learned magic. I'm not a legendary genius. How could my mental power exceed 800 so quickly?"

She retorted with confidence, and Yang Jun's aura suddenly became much weaker. He smirked and scratched his head, and asked again with a salivating face.

"Then how much mental power do you have now?"

"368! Just measured yesterday!"

When Liu Xiaoru answered, she deliberately raised her face and told Yang Jun this question with an expression that made her feel embarrassed, but there were still many smiles in her eyes.

The two of them walked towards Fengming Mountain outside the city while chatting.

After walking for a while, she suddenly remembered to ask Yang Jun.

"Are we going to Fengming Mountain?"

"Aren't you walking in front? Don't you want to go to Fengming Mountain?"

For a moment, the two of them stared at each other and then laughed together.

"Hehe! Since we all walked towards Fengming Mountain at the same time, then go to Fengming Mountain?"
