It was another rising sun, another morning, and Zhou Baopu was awakened by a ray of dazzling sunlight. After the snowstorm, the weather turned out to be particularly nice. Things must be reversed when they reach their extremes, so it is also very suitable for use in weather changes. A few crisp bird calls resounded throughout the window.
As soon as he woke up, Zhou Baopu was startled, because judging from the posture of the sun, it was probably almost midnight, and today was the third level of the assessment.
Sure enough, at the moment when he was stunned, he suddenly heard someone breaking into the courtyard.
"Zhou Baopu, hurry up, hurry up! If you don't hurry up, you will be late!"
Since knowing Zhu Kuang, Zhou Baopu has never seen Zhu Kuang so nervous.
However, now is obviously not the time to talk about this. Zhou Baopu hurriedly arranged his clothes, put on his shoes haphazardly, rushed out of the bedroom and ran towards the courtyard.
Seeing Zhou Baopu running out, Zhu Kuang couldn't care less. He grabbed Zhou Baopu's arm and dragged him out the door.
"How could you do it? How could you be lazy in bed? You didn't forget that today is the last level of the competition, right?" "I didn't forget, I was
just too tired, so I didn't get up."
Zhou Baopu's words were full of apology. , because it was obvious that he could see how much danger Zhu Kuang took by coming here to call him.
At this time, Zhu Kuang was supposed to be conducting assessment matters with the middle-aged deacon. But now, Zhu Kuang risked being punished because he discovered his absence, came to Zhou Baopu, woke Zhou Baopu up, and took Zhou Baopu to the assessment.
As soon as he got out of the hospital, Zhou Baopu ran forward quickly. But at this moment, Zhu Kuang grabbed Zhou Baopu again.
Zhou Baopu stopped, turned his head in confusion, and looked at Zhu Kuang. He didn't know why Zhu Kuang would hold him back at this juncture. If he doesn't rush over quickly, not only Zhou Baopu will be delayed in the assessment. I'm afraid even Zhu Kuang will attract the attention of interested people because of his long absence.
Maybe, now, Zhu Kuang has attracted the attention of others. The middle-aged deacon who learned that Zhu Kuang had contact with Zhou Baopu wanted to know Zhou Baopu's current situation, but Zhou Baopu did not come. When he was happy, he would definitely have been paying attention to Zhu Kuang's every move.
But no, in fact, the moment Zhu Kuang disappeared, the middle-aged deacon grinned, a gloomy smile flashed across his gloomy face, crushed a transmission note, and at the same time reported the incident to the elder in charge. matter. This thing made him very happy.
Because if this matter is successful, he can not only sue Zhu Kuang for leaving his post without permission, but also make Zhou Baopu late for the third assessment. In this case, no matter what prejudice he has against Zhou Baopu in his heart, it will be much easier to handle. Because, for a middle-aged deacon, compared with dealing with a disciple outside the building, compared with dealing with a core disciple of the Tianwai Tower and the Tianfu Tower, it is obvious that the former is much easier.
At the speed of ordinary people, the middle-aged deacon believed that even if Zhu Kuang and Zhou Baopu reached the extreme speed, it would be impossible for them to arrive at the assessment location at the last moment of the allotted time. As if victory was already certain, a chrysanthemum bloomed on the middle-aged deacon's face.
"No, let's run like this. Even if the speed is three points faster, we will definitely not be able to reach the assessment location within the stipulated time." Zhu Kuang's expression showed a rare
seriousness, but then he seemed to be ruthless. As if concerned, he carefully pinched a rune from his arms.
"What should we do?"
When Zhou Baopu heard what Zhu Kuang said, he seemed to be at a loss. After all, he is still just a child, and he can't help but feel at a loss for the current situation. If Zhou Baopu could not participate in the assessment, the result would be unimaginable.
If there are other children aged fifteen or sixteen, they might find Fu Chi for some help. But Zhou Baopu was a very strong-willed person, and he never wanted to owe others favors. What's more, he has already promised Fu Chi that he must rely on his own strength to enter the building.
"If I really miss this final assessment, then I will leave."
Zhou Baopu made up his mind secretly in his heart. He said that he left secretly, but did not say where he was going after leaving, because for Zhou Baopu In fact, this issue is too complex. It can be said that he is very unfamiliar with this area and really doesn't know where to go.
Seeing the gloomy look in Zhou Baopu's eyes, Zhu Kuang glared hard, took out the rune in his arms, and said to Zhou Baopu at the same time: "Forget it. I see, I must have owed it to you in my previous life. "
After taking out the rune, a wisp of flame burst out from the tips of Zhu Kuang's fingers. The moment the rune burned, Zhu Kuang grabbed Zhou Baopu's little hand.
Zhou Baopu only felt a dizzy feeling, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was already standing in the queue of examiners.
And he just felt his hand loosen. Zhu Kuang held his hand and put down his hand at some point. When he looked to the side, Zhou Baopu happened to see Zhu Kuang. Zhu Kuang was standing next to him, walking forward with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.
And just when Zhou Baopu was about to recover from his shock, he discovered that another person had appeared to the right of the middle-aged deacon at some unknown time.
The person's appearance was also extremely unexpected. Zhou Baopu could imagine that the appearance of that person should be as sudden as the appearance of him and Zhu Kuang.
Zhou Baopu just stood still and wanted to see the middle-aged deacon's reaction. But before his eyes caught the middle-aged deacon's expression, he was already caught by the phenomenon around him. Because, in a place that was originally empty, a man in red robe suddenly appeared. How could this not surprise Zhou Baopu?
"Did you report that Zhu Kuang left his post without permission?"
The man in red robe's voice was hoarse, as if it was rusty, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, elder. Zhu Kuang was supposed to be here to preside over the assessment, but he didn't abide by the rules, left his post without permission, and went to who knows where." Although the middle-aged
deacon was the one who sued Zhu Kuang, he saw the red robe When the man talked to him like that, he felt very uneasy.
The man in red robe did not suppress his voice, but instead asked the middle-aged deacon very arrogantly, so the disciples participating in the assessment below also heard their conversation.
When Zhou Baopu heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and felt a sweat in his heart for Zhu Kuang. Only then did he finally understand what kind of danger Zhu Kuang had taken to bring him here.
"Being AWOL, are you talking about me?"
However, just when the middle-aged deacon wanted to explain again that Zhu Kuang was AWOL, a voice appeared, and Zhu Kuang strode towards the high platform with a twinkle in his eyes. With a joking expression and looking at the middle-aged deacon provocatively, he walked step by step to the man in red robe.
