chapter 16 Great changes are coming

headmaster!

Katet, the principal of Sky Academy!

There is also Qin Ke, deputy director of the Teaching Office of Sky Academy.

Not only Tristian Lee, but also Ricarlo Lee felt dizzy. They would not be surprised to see these two people at any time and in any place.

But it was a bit unexpected to see them here at this time.

In the first internal drill for new students, the maze is an extremely important place. But a principal, a deputy director of the teaching office, and a silent cat are in the blind corner of the maze. What does this mean?

Is this hide and seek?

If he hadn't heard that Katet was Qin Ke's biological grandfather, Ricarlo Lee would have even begun to suspect that the two had an improper superior-subordinate relationship.

"Hello, principal."

Ricarlo Lee breathed softly and calmed down his mood instantly. He bowed slightly to Katet, then straightened up and looked at Qin Ke, smiling and saying, "Hello, Direstor Walker."

Qin Ke snorted coldly and still stared at Ricarlo Lee fiercely.

Katet, on the other hand, nodded with a smile on his face and looked at Ricarlo Lee as if he were looking at a rare and rare treasure.

This look was similar to the look Karen Lewis looked at Ricarlo Lee a few minutes ago, but it was not exactly the same.

Karen Lewis's eyes were full of interest, probing, curious and playful.

Katet's eyes were also full of interest, but with a hint of understanding.

Ricarlo Lee smile remained unchanged, as if he had a mask on his face, but his heart was completely tense.

Did the old man in front of him know his identity?

Or is it because of his battle with Qin Ke?

But in that battle, Qin Ke did not suffer a loss, but was seriously injured. Could it be that Katet deliberately blocked him here because of the teacher named Mauli?

Why is this so?

In just a few seconds, in the blind corner of the maze, with his back to the blue brick wall, the atmosphere in the corner instantly became extremely solemn and depressing.

Tristian Lee wiped off the cold sweat on his head and straightened his body quietly. His eyes were focused, and he seemed to have made up his mind as he stood beside Ricarlo Lee.

Qin Ke's eyes suddenly froze when he saw this detail with his own eyes.

Footsteps sounded behind him.

Yaymos, Karen Lewis, and Ingrid Brown followed Ricarlo Lee's footsteps and entered the blind spot at the same time. The three of them were also a little stunned when they saw Katet and Qin Ke.

"headmaster..."

"Direstor Walker..."

"Hello, principal."

Qin Ke's expression remained unchanged.

Katet still nodded kindly and said with a smile, "Hello, classmates."

"Principal, why are you and Direstor Walker here?"

Behind Ricarlo Lee, Karen Lewis beautiful little face was a little confused, but her eyes quickly glanced at Ricarlo Lee thoughtfully.

During the entrance exercise, two senior leaders of the school actually showed up to meet with a group of freshmen. This kind of thing was really unusual. Intuitively, Karen Lewis felt that it must have something to do with Ricarlo Lee.

Not only because Ricarlo Lee had most likely been to the most secret maze, but also because Karen Lewis had an inexplicable intuition.

Karen Lewis always trusted her intuition, but this time, her intuition told him that something was wrong with Ricarlo Lee.

This boy is too quiet, without edge or momentum. He stands there casually. He is obviously the centerpiece, but he is so quiet that people always want to ignore him involuntarily.

The still water ran deep, and in a daze, Karen Lewis had the feeling that the other party was unfathomable.

Among the five people currently present, although Tristian Lee and Yaymos have terrifying backgrounds, they are not ready for Katet to meet them in person during the exercise.

Ingrid Brown was a figure similar to Katet's goddaughter. It was too late to avoid suspicion in this situation, let alone Katet appearing in person.

As for herself, Katet and some senior school officials from Sky Academy had already met her when she entered school, and there was no need to see her again now.

The only one left is Ricarlo Lee, whose details are unclear.

Sure enough, Katet's words once again confirmed the correctness of Karen Lewis.

"I have something I want to communicate with classmate Ricarlo Lee. It won't waste your precious practice time. I wonder if you would mind?"

Katet said with a smile, this one of the top ten contemporary masters of Zhongzhou Kingdom seems to be really good-tempered to a certain extent. No matter what happens, he can smile all over his face, making people feel good at the sight of him.

Only a fool would say he doesn't care.

Several people shook their heads, but intentionally or unintentionally, no one chose to avoid it. Since the principal did not mention this, they were naturally willing to cooperate and pretend to be stupid.

Katet just smiled at Ricarlo Lee, waiting for his attitude.

"Whatever the principal orders, it doesn't matter."

Ricarlo Lee said with respect.

"good."

Katet was still smiling, but his eyes became sharp: "Classmate Ricarlo Lee Tianlan, why did you come to Sky Academy?"

This question is easy to answer, but also difficult to answer. It seems to be asking about Ricarlo Lee's goal, and also seems to be asking whether Ricarlo Lee has other goals.

Ricarlo Lee looked indifferent and said slowly, "I don't understand what the principal means."

"Then I'll ask for more clarity."

Katet narrowed his eyes, "Do you have a goal when you come to Sky Academy? Are you like many freshmen, who get credits and graduates to get gold plating, and then casually go out after graduation to become an officer and have a good life? Or even a bright future? ?”

"no."

Ricarlo Lee looked calm and looked directly at Katet, "I want to be the first."

"First?"

Katet chuckled unsurprisingly, "In every class of Sky Academy students, some will stay in the end. Some of them have not collected the credits for ordinary graduation within three years. They still have half a year to make up for their credits. Likewise. , there are also some people who, due to luck or other special reasons, ultimately missed out on the first place that everyone wanted. Such people were the strongest students in the previous class, and they will be mixed in with the new students. , start over and compete with you. If you want to be first, your competitors are not only the students you see, but also some of your seniors. Under such circumstances, are you confident that you can get first?"

"have."

Ricarlo Lee said in a deep voice without hesitation. His voice was not high, but everyone could hear the confidence in his words.

Full of confidence!

"The ambition is not small."

Katet smiled, "So, to be number one, to become a giant, to fight for the country, to turn your hands into clouds, and to turn your hands into rain, is this your goal?"

Ricarlo Lee nodded solemnly. He said nothing, but his whole person showed a determination to achieve this goal even if he died.

"Then I don't understand."

Katet shook his head and sighed, "You are so powerful, so ambitious, and so confident, why do you want to keep a low profile? Classmate Ricarlo Lee, what are you trying to hide?"

"If you want to compete for the first place, you must be outstanding in all aspects. It is difficult not to attract people's attention. You are the first in everything, but you like to pretend to be a grandson. If others don't suspect you, who will? You are so You are low-key and unpredictable. Even if all of us can resist exploring your secrets, even if you graduate with first place, so what? If you don't get the trust of the country, in the end it will be just a waste of effort. Is the result beneficial to you?"

Ricarlo Lee body suddenly shook violently, and in just a moment, his whole body was soaked with cold sweat.

Deliberately keeping a low profile, hiding yourself, not being understood by others, so what if you graduate with first place?

"After the treason case that year, the senior officials of the Zhongzhou Kingdom were wary. You are capable, but you are not trusted. How can you become a giant? What secrets do you want to hide? I don't have to ask, but shouldn't others ask? Gu ? Director Moore Jessie Moore is mainly responsible for the ideological education of all students in the school. If you are so guilty, you will be targeted by her, so why bother?"

"I have no guilty conscience!"

Ricarlo Lee flatly denied it, but his heart was already in chaos.

Katet specifically pointed out the treason case that year, and specifically named Jessie Moore. Did this old man really know his identity? Did Gordie Brown tell him? This matter is so sensitive, Gordie Brown really dares to tell Katet? Can Katet be completely trusted?

"Don't you ever feel guilty? Maybe."

Katet smiled lightly, suddenly looked at Ricarlo Lee and asked, "Classmate Ricarlo Lee, do you dare to trust me? Trust your principal?"

Ricarlo Lee narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Katet. The gentle mask he always wore on his face seemed to be disappearing little by little, and his eyes became suspicious and indifferent.

"So what if you believe it? So what if you don't believe it?"

"If you believe me, please give it a try! I guarantee my reputation and the lives of my whole family. Within one year, no matter what, I will go all out to keep you safe!"

Katet looked at the cold eyes in front of him with a solemn expression. He took a deep breath and continued, regardless of everyone's sudden change of expressions, "Of course, if you don't believe me, then just pretend that I didn't say anything and we never met today."

Karen Lewis, who had always watched this drama as a bystander, had a rapid change of expression in his eyes, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

Such a guarantee from Katet was something that everyone, even her family, desperately needed, but now it was given to Ricarlo Lee?

Why?

Only Ricarlo Lee remained as calm as water: "The principal's words are serious. As the principal, Ricarlo can't believe it, but I need a reason."

"Reason?"

Katet's smile stretched completely. "There are many reasons, but I can only say two points. First, President Walker values ​​you very much. She persuaded Mr. Brown to let me keep you safe for a year. She and Mr. Brown owes me a favor. Secondly, I am willing to protect you because I respect other people or things."

silence.

After a long silence, Ricarlo Lee finally spoke and said in a cold voice, "In that case, I also owe the principal a favor."

Katet smile became more and more obvious. He knew that he had got the result he wanted from this conversation. He nodded and said with a smile, "Then I will wait and see for this exercise?"

"You can see it."

Ricarlo Lee's eyes were calm and cold.

Katet laughed and turned slightly.

In front of the brick wall, a flash of lightning flashed, and he and Qin Ke disappeared in an instant.

Ricarlo Lee stood there, thoughtful.

Yaymos and Tristian Lee stood beside Ricarlo Lee with solemn expressions.

Ingrid Brown looked confused.

Only Karen Lewis vaguely felt that he had witnessed something.

-

at the same time.

On another road less than thirty meters away from Ricarlo Lee, Katet and Qin Ke appeared again.

The air around the two people was distorting violently, but everything was silent. Freshmen kept passing by a few meters away, but no one noticed their existence.

"Grandpa, why do you want to help him like this?"

Qin Ke asked standing next to Katet, not dissatisfied, just a little confused.

"Why?"

Katet smiled calmly, "Nickolas Lee and Yaymos, two of the top ten masters of the younger generation are willing to serve him. Karen Lewis is also paying so much attention to him now. This has proved that Ricarlo Lee has entered the circle behind them." The eyes of some big shots, why don’t I help such people?”

"Is that all?"

Qin Ke looked at his grandfather's expression and asked seriously.

Katet was slightly silent. In the expectant eyes of his granddaughter, he shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "Didn't you always want to ask me where I went a few days ago?"

Qin Ke nodded slightly.

Katet laughed at himself and said, "Actually, I haven't gone anywhere. I have been at Sky Academy and watched Ricarlo Lee in his room. It's just that you don't know it clearly and he didn't notice it either."

Seeing Qin Ke's expression that instantly became extremely strange, he continued, "In the past few days, he has been meditating every day. Qin Ke, have you ever seen a person who has not entered the four realms of martial arts? He spends a lot of time meditating every year." More than sixteen hours?”

"This is impossible!"

Qin Ke said decisively, "I am in the thunder realm now, but the limit of meditating every day is only ten hours. I can't even do it for sixteen hours."

If he were to sit still, Qin Ke, as a master of the Thunder Realm, would have no problem sitting still for several days. However, meditation is different. Meditation pursues the forgetfulness of things and self, and is the absolute focus and concentration of one's own will. Qin Ke is now a Thunder Realm master. A master of the realm can only focus his will for ten hours. If he wants to make progress, he can only accumulate it slowly through meditation again and again. This time he will have one more minute, next time he will have two more minutes, and the meditation time The longer it is, the faster her progress will be.

In Qin Ke's current state, the limit of absolute concentration is only ten hours. Once this time is exceeded, her will will waver. If she forcibly supports it, the effect is equivalent to retreating instead of advancing.

It is impossible for a person who can meditate deeply for sixteen hours to have not yet entered the four realms of martial arts. His will can be concentrated to such an extent that even a pig can enter the Ethel.

"impossible?"

Katet had a complicated smile and complicated eyes. He looked in the direction of Ricarlo Lee and said softly, "Isn't there someone there?"

At this moment, even though Qin Ke had already made some guesses, he was still shocked and speechless.

"How can this be?"

She took a deep breath and muttered to herself.

"Nothing is impossible. He not only meditates deeply for sixteen hours a day, but for several days in a row. I originally wanted to see how many days he could persist, but unfortunately..."

Katet shook his head regretfully.

"What's a pity?"

Qin Ke asked subconsciously.

"It's a pity that I couldn't hold on anymore. I watched him for three days in a row, and I almost starved to death."

"..."

"He has such status, such talent, and such a background. I will guarantee him for one year, and I am willing to do so."

Katet sighed again.

identity? life experience?

Qin Ke frowned and said nothing, but he was thinking about what his grandfather had discovered in the past few days.

"Because of Ricarlo Lee, Nickolas Lee, Yaymos, Gladys Walker, Gordie Brown, and even myself have now become pawns of those who are playing chess in secret. Look, how many forces are involved? In recent days, Over the years, there seems to have always been a force pushing something secretly, and now, it seems to have become more and more obvious. Whoever is behind Ricarlo Lee has a plan that is earth-shattering."

Katet shook his head, and then smiled sarcastically, "And today, that idiot Jessie Moore actually brought up the treason case again. Now it seems that this matter may inadvertently help the person who secretly plays chess." It’s getting more and more interesting.”

Qin Ke twitched the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Director Moore's performance at the entrance ceremony today was completely disrespectful."

Katet shook his head and said, "She is helpless. She is just a pioneer. She can only follow the general trend. The person behind Jessie Moore is nothing more than a vicious weapon. Everything behind Ricarlo Lee, if you think about it carefully, it is It’s really scary. It’s just a hint at the moment, but it’s already turbulent. How big will it be once it breaks out in full force one day?”

"Grandpa, you said..."

Qin Ke hesitated and said cautiously, "Tell me, will all this involve the palace master behind Gladys Walker? Or is he secretly planning all this?"

As a figure who has mysteriously risen in Huating in recent years, it is still unclear whether Gladys Walker has a backer in Zhongzhou Kingdom, but her backer in the dark world is known to anyone who can stand on the stage.

"Won't."

Katet thought for a while, then shook his head very slowly and said, "He is in a foreign country, and water far away cannot quench his thirst. No matter how invincible he is, he cannot advance and retreat freely under the gun of the Human Emperor. No matter he is holding the weapon of the Human Emperor, Neither one, nor the one behind Jessie Moore, ​​will allow him to enter Central Continent unless he wants to die."

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the sky, muttering to himself, "The wind is surging..."

"Grandpa, do you still remember what Xuanxuan half-immortal said when he appeared in Youzhou a few years ago?"

Qin Ke suddenly said.

"Isn't it just a comment about the one who holds the Human Emperor? The old guy is just being mysterious."

Facing his granddaughter, Katet dismissed the Taoist stranger who was almost a semi-immortal in Zhongzhou.

"Mysterious? Grandpa, do you really think so? Aybars is famous all over Zhongzhou. He either doesn't speak, but once he speaks, does he say anything wrong? Not to mention his legendary deeds of locking the dragon's veins for Zhongzhou for thirty years. "

Qin Ke said disapprovingly.

"Well, what are you doing when you bring up Aybars?"

Speaking of the famous half-immortal from Zhongzhou, Katet was obviously in a bad mood.

"When he saw the one holding the Human Emperor, he commented on him as a saint on the inside and a king on the outside. But does grandpa still remember what he said when he saw the super big shot behind Director Moore?"

Qin Ke said in a serious tone.

Katet narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.

"When the genius comes out, the great calamity is coming, the genius will respond to the calamity, who will respond to the genius?"

Qin Ke said word by word, "Grandpa, great changes are about to occur in the dark world, and we must prepare early."

Katet didn't speak, but silently looked at Ricarlo Lee, who was still standing there thinking about it dozens of meters away, with deep eyes.
