Chapter 395 Admiration and Fear of the Strong (1/2)

Chapter 395 Admiration for the Strong and Fear of the Strong

The method of cultivating the clan emblem seems to be something like a martial arts fighting technique?

Looking at the martial arts book in front of her, which came from nowhere, Xiao Mei's head was filled with question marks. She stood there for a long time and couldn't figure out where it came from.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and with it came Xun'er's voice.

"Mei'er, are you there?"

"Yes, come in."

Xiao Mei came back to her senses and answered. Then the door of the studio was opened. Xiao Mei closed the scroll and looked at Xun'er with a serious face, and tilted her head in confusion.

"Xun'er, it's so late, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Xun'er came to Xiao Mei in two steps, put his hands on her shoulders, and stared into her eyes.

"Mei'er, you must answer the questions I ask you next seriously, and you are not allowed to hide anything."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mei was shocked by Xun'er's serious attitude, nodded blankly, and then Xun'er asked.

"This script of Xiao Ying Chuan should not be written by you, right? Who gave it to you?"

"Ah~you mean this."

Hearing Xun'er ask this question, Xiao Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was something serious.

Then Xiao Mei reached out and gently stroked the ring, took out the script of Xiao Ying Chuan and handed it to Xun'er.

"This suddenly appeared on my desk when I was looking for a script before filming. I don't know who wrote it. I asked the people in the crew, but they didn't know either."

Xun'er frowned, reached out to take the script and flipped through it. It was almost the same as the drama Xiao Mei filmed. Information such as the Dou Di bloodline and the ancient eight clans were also clearly written in the script.

After reading it, Xun'er closed the script, and deep worry appeared in her eyes.

Who is it? Who gave Xiao Mei the script?

Looking at Xun'er, who was stunned on the spot with a very scary expression, Xiao Mei looked at her worriedly.

"Xun'er, are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

Xun'er's expression returned to normal, and she handed the script back to Xiao Mei.

The drama has already been filmed, so there is no point in asking Xiao Mei not to spread it around. Moreover, although this information is little known, it is not really a secret.

What Xun'er is really worried about is the purpose of the person who wrote this script.

"My brother Xiao Yan and I just watched this drama. It is very good." Xun'er changed the subject and smiled slightly: "But I think the style is too different from the previous dramas. Not many people will watch it a second time. This drama should not earn as much as before."

"I guessed it too. The audience of this drama is indeed not that wide. It doesn't matter~ Anyway, I don't care about the amount of money. I am personally quite satisfied with this drama, more than the previous dramas combined."

Xiao Mei shrugged lightly and put the script back into the ring. At this time, Xun'er noticed the scroll in her hand and pointed at it and asked.

"Mei'er, what is this?"

"Ah, I was just about to say this." Hearing Xun'er mention the scroll, Xiao Mei raised her hand and lightly tapped her eyebrows, with a distressed look on her face, "I don't know what happened. I was planning to pack up and go back to rest, but in the blink of an eye, I had this thing in my hand."

As she spoke, Xiao Mei handed the scroll to Xun'er, who took it and unfolded it, and then the smile that had just appeared was once again suppressed by shock.

The method of cultivating the clan pattern? !

Xun'er's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and she spread out the scroll, reading it with her eyes, and became more and more frightened as time went by.

Is this the clan pattern of the Xiao clan? !

The eight ancient clans all have their own clan patterns, which can greatly improve their strength after activation, and there are no sequelae. The purer the bloodline, the higher the level of the clan pattern.

Among the eight clans, only the clan pattern of the Xiao clan is a special case.

The emblems of the other seven tribes were given by the strong men in the tribe, but the emblem of the Xiao tribe was obtained by the tribe members themselves through cultivation. As long as there is Xiao tribe blood in the body, even if there is only a trace of it, it is possible to cultivate to the highest level of the emblem.

How could this thing be in Xiao Mei's hands? ? ?

"Mei'er! Are you sure you don't know where this came from?!"

Xun'er asked hurriedly, and Xiao Mei nodded lightly.

"Well, it felt like it appeared in my hand in the blink of an eye."

Xun'er was silent, staring at the scroll in her hand. She vaguely guessed that Xiao Mei got this scroll and it had a lot to do with the drama she filmed, and it was also possible that the same person gave Xiao Mei the script.

Who is it? Who gave it to her?

However, no matter how much Xun'er thought about it, she could not get an answer, so she put the scroll away and handed it to Xiao Mei.

"Don't worry about where this came from, give it to Brother Xiao Yan later, and let him practice with the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family."

No matter who took it, it's in your hands anyway, so it's useless if you don't practice it.

Xun'er paused, then gave a solemn instruction.

"Remember, you can only practice it for the Xiao family members, no one else is allowed, not even your best friend."

It's not that Xun'er is xenophobic or anything, but only the Xiao family members can practice this Xiao family emblem. Not only can outsiders not practice it, but it will also damage the meridians in their bodies. Even Xun'er can't practice it.

"Oh, I see."

Although Xiao Mei didn't understand why Xun'er was so serious, she still nodded out of trust in Xun'er.

"Then I'll go back first, you should also rest early."

Xun'er smiled and waved, turned around and left the studio, strode down the corridor, and said in a solemn voice.

"Mr. Ling, the method of practicing the family emblem just now"

"The old servant didn't see anything."

Ling Ying responded with understanding, and Xun'er was slightly relieved. Although her father and Xiao Xuan were good friends a thousand years ago, it didn't mean that the relationship between their clansmen was also good.

This method of practicing clan patterns is an opportunity for the Xiao clan to rise. If the Xiao family continues to decline, it will be fine. If other people know that the Xiao family has some signs of rising, let alone the other six clans, I am afraid that someone in my family will destroy the Xiao family in order to eliminate the threat.

The competition between the eight ancient clans is several times more brutal than imagined.

The outer courtyard under the night sky, the streets are bustling with students.

On the roof of a high-rise building that no one noticed, Yunying sat on the edge of the rooftop, one leg bent and stepped on the rooftop, the other leg resting outside the rooftop and swaying gently, holding the projection crystal in his hand, staring at the image in front of him with a scarlet eye, which was the drama "The Biography of Xiao Ying" filmed by Xiao Mei.

Looking at the familiar scenes in the drama, although the characters are completely different, Yunying's mind automatically replaced those faces with familiar faces deep in her memory.

At first, she just knew that Xiao Mei was going to film a play, and wanted to see this new thing she had never seen before. It happened that Xiao Mei was looking for a script, so she wrote one and threw it on her desk.

Taking this as an opportunity, Yunying also remembered the distant past, many things that she had already thrown into the depths of her memory.

Originally, Yunying just regarded this as a fun way to pass the time.

However, after watching the whole play, Yunying's heart was deeply touched.

While watching the play, everything in the past seemed to have happened yesterday, and the already blurred details gradually became clear.

Yunying didn't need to negotiate with Xiao Mei, and directly stole the projection crystal from her ring, and Xiao Mei didn't notice it at all.

However, Yunying didn't do this.

For this image that seemed to record her past, Yunying didn't want to use the method of [stealing] to get it.

Anyway, the method of cultivating the clan emblem can only be practiced by the Xiao clan, and it is just a decoration in my hands, so I will give it to you.

"Time flies, and it is gone in a flash."

Yunying looked at the black air that appeared on Xiao Ling's body in the image, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

I really have to thank this Xiao Mei. If it weren't for the opportunity she triggered, there are some things that I may never actively recall in my life, let alone discover this matter.

Yunying put away the projection crystal, looked down at the street, and clearly saw Xiao Yan walking on the street with Xiao Yixian through the darkness.

Previously, Yunying protected Xiao Yan just because she was [interested] in him, and she could abandon him at any time.

But now Yunying has one more reason to protect him.

Yunying doesn't know whether Xiao Yan and [Xiao Ling] are related, but even if it is just a possibility, it is enough for Yunying.

Enough as a reason for her to watch over Xiao Yan.

Yunying's scarlet eyes actually showed a trace of tenderness, so subtle that it was almost invisible, and it was so dazzling in the night.

Three days have passed since the first broadcast of [The Story of Xiao Ying].

And the number of votes was as Xiao Mei expected, far less than the previous ones. Basically, people would not watch it again after watching it once.

But on the contrary, this time [The Story of Xiao Ying] caused countless debates in the inner and outer courtyards. Anyone who has watched the drama will participate in it more or less, even the teachers are no exception.

The content of the debate is almost the same, and it can be summarized into one question.

What is the purpose of becoming stronger?

Before, everyone knew about becoming stronger, and everyone was working hard to become stronger. They had never really thought about this question. Even if others asked, they would only respond perfunctorily and continue to concentrate on practicing to become stronger.

Xiao Ying, the protagonist of [The Story of Xiao Ying], did become the strongest of the Xiao clan in the end, but few people thought that the final ending could be called [good].

Based on this debate, the views of students in the inner and outer courtyards were also divided into two categories.

One type believes more in the law of the jungle. In the eyes of this type of people, if Xiao Ying had not worked hard to become stronger and had not become that strong, she would not even have gotten that unpleasant ending. And this type of people directly ignored the question of [what is the purpose of becoming stronger]. How can you consider life when your life is not guaranteed? Are you sick?

The other type is completely the opposite. They slowed down their cultivation progress and began to seriously think about the question of [what is the purpose of becoming stronger]. In their eyes, Xiao Ying abandoned everything that could be abandoned, including human nature, in order to become stronger. She had no life of her own. Even if Xiao Ying became the strongest in the end, what was the difference between her and those walking dead beasts?

These two arguments constantly collided in the academy, and the arguments about each other's concepts were endless, becoming the hottest topic in the academy during this period.

And not only the students, but even Su Qian and Hu Gan, the two managers of the inner and outer courtyards, were trapped in it, and felt confused about the academy they had been guarding.

They have been teaching students to become stronger. What is the purpose?

They had never considered this question before. This is the first time they have thought about it so seriously.

At this time, in the office of the Law Enforcement Team of the External Court, Xiao Yu, the team leader, was extremely busy. There were several piles of documents on the table, all of which were reports of private fights that occurred in the External Court.

The cause was the above-mentioned dispute.

The two groups of people in the outer courtyard can be divided into the "Mu Qiang Faction" and the "Qiang Fearing Faction". They are all because they joined the corresponding faction based on their own views after reading "The Story of Xiao Ying", and started to fight with each other whenever they had time. Opposing factions began to argue about what was right and wrong.

It was okay at first, it was just a verbal argument. However, sometimes when one party cannot defeat the other party, they will get angry and get angry. The person being beaten will naturally not be willing to be beaten, so it is natural for him to fight back, and because of the faction's Because, what was originally a matter between two people could eventually lead to a big melee involving dozens of people.

Originally understood according to the literal meaning, the combat power of the [Mu Qiang Faction] is much higher than that of the [Qiang-Afraid Faction]. After all, you are already [Afraid of Strength], so why can you beat [Mu Qiang]?

However, the actual situation is completely different.

There are many weak people in the "Qiang-mu Faction", and there are also many strong people in the "Qiang-Fearing Faction". The division of the two factions really has nothing to do with the strength of the two factions. Among the strong, there are those who fear the strong, and among the weak, there are those who fear the strong. There are also those who admire the strong, and the reason for the dispute is purely due to poor concepts, so the results of each fight between the two parties are very different.

However, no matter what they thought, Xiao Yu was about to explode in the past two days!

She felt that she and the entire law enforcement team were like firefighters, running around the outer courtyard almost non-stop to stop disputes. In the end, there were really not enough manpower, and Xiao Yu had to drag the entire Xiao family brothers and sisters to help. Only then did I have time to breathe.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past, other students were worried about whether the Xiao family would cause any trouble, but now it's completely the other way around!

"Mei'er, this girl, can make such a big mess in a movie." Xiao Yu caressed his forehead with a sad look, looking sideways at Wu Hao, "Speaking of which, I originally thought that with your character, I will definitely join the Mu Qiang faction.”

"I just want to fight against the strong. Whether I admire or fear the strong is meaningless to me. My life creed is to constantly fight against the strong!"

Wu Hao raised his head proudly, and Xiao Yu sighed deeply.

She understood clearly that Wu Hao was indeed Mu Qiang, but it did not conflict with the philosophy of the Qiang-fearing faction.

The Qiang-loving faction prioritizes getting stronger before life, while the Qiang-fearing faction prioritizes life over becoming strong.

As for Wu Hao, an outlier who regards fighting with strong men as the meaning of his life, he doesn't have to worry about disagreements at all. He becomes stronger just for the sake of life, and his life is just for becoming stronger.

"If everyone else could be as simple-minded as you, I wouldn't have to be so tired."

Xiao Yu caressed her side eyes, her face full of sorrow.
