Chapter 06: The Return of the Twins

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Wow! That's impressive! You managed to reference so many texts in one breath!

Under the bright moonlight, the melodious sound of the flute travels far and wide. Saint Yi's soft hair gently sways in the night breeze, and the pure white moonlight illuminates his face, making him appear like a spirit untouched by the slightest speck of worldly dust

Sheng Yi is unable to attend physical education classes with other students due to health issues

... ...

This voice... is SUN, I won't be mistaken...

... ...

... ...

Suddenly, a loud "bang" resonated in my mind, and I became acutely aware of the gravity of the situation. Although I had not yet considered what they intended to do morally, fear and anxiety surged towards me like towering waves!

"Big Pig Head," at this moment, Zheng Zhizhao glanced at my feet and looked at me with disdain, "The thing you are looking for has already appeared, we have all seen it..."

After a long while, Lady Jin's expression softened, and the corners of her mouth even curled up slightly in a smile, yet her smile sent a chill through my entire body

Enough with the nonsense! I glanced at the "light bulb head," shook out the cloth and draped it behind me, then wrapped myself up tightly, leaving only my neck and head exposed. ... I rummaged, I rummaged, I rummaged and rummaged, oh, how strange ...? ... I clearly hid the petals I had prepared in advance in my jacket pocket, so where did they go ...? Woe ... ...... I clearly hid the petals I had prepared in advance in my jacket pocket, so where did they go ...? Woe ... ...

I stared blankly at SUN, who wore a displeased expression throughout, with a face that was utterly unyielding, and the haughty Madame Jin... and also at the composed Sheng Ye...

Boom boom—dong—dong

The sound of clapping or applause

Upon hearing this sound, I felt my body convulse violently for a moment

The moonlight tonight seems to be increasingly dim, as if to complement this eerie atmosphere. The dense maple forest forms a natural barrier, resembling a labyrinth with no end in sight. Ha ha, however, this hero has already scouted the route! Upon reaching the end of the maple forest, a towering banyan tree, at least four or five stories high and unimaginably tall, suddenly comes into view. Its enormity leaves us breathless, and at this moment, the branches of the banyan tree sway in the wind. In the dim light, I notice a dark patch on its trunk, which looks just like a devil with its mouth wide open, waiting for a sumptuous dinner tonight.

How lively! Go to hell! Trying every means to frame us, and still calling it joining the fun? I hereby declare you the number one gossipers in the world!

Well, no matter what happens next, we must give it our all, absolutely...! ... We must not allow their conspiracy to succeed!

I would like to announce the rules for the ranking competition of the top ten universities in Xinghua Province on behalf of the Joint Association of the Top Ten Universities. The competition is divided into three events: the Inter-Provincial Campus Sports Meeting, the Inter-Provincial Campus Festival, and the highly anticipated Orienteering Competition. The results of the first two events will be converted into points, accumulating the total scores for each participating university. Ultimately, the top seven ranked universities will be eligible to send representatives to participate in the final Orienteering Competition, striving for the ultimate victory.

"This is the best way." Mrs. Jin's words interrupted my thoughts, perhaps releasing the pent-up anger within her. Her voice softened slightly, "In any case, you can rest assured to carry out the plan. I will assist you from the shadows. You must remember, to defeat the enemy, you must first identify their greatest weakness..."

Perhaps among all the teachers at the school, only the physical education teacher does not find her so annoying

Ah

Like an NBA superstar, I proudly waved to my classmates who were applauding me on both sides of the court. However, when I turned around, I was stunned to find Saint sitting all alone on the concrete bench on one side of the court.

Very well, it is now my turn! I boldly stood up from the ground and took out a bag, "The performance I am presenting today is magic. In a moment, I will make a flower grow out of this bag!"

Ah... that, um... hehehe! Actually, it's nothing! Saint Yi's words caught me off guard, but I quickly regained my composure and hid the excitement on my face. "Little Saint, you actually don't know that the most interesting part of basketball isn't playing, but watching! Just like this great hero! Running around chasing the basketball, getting all sweaty and uncomfortable! But when I see someone make a beautiful shot, it makes me happier than scoring myself!" Running around chasing the basketball, getting all sweaty and uncomfortable! But when I see someone make a beautiful shot, it makes me happier than scoring myself!

Hayakawa Hayakawa! The victor shall be king!

At that moment, Saint Yi stood up and said, "Thank you all for performing for me, especially for Xiao Xi's performance, which I really liked. Now, let me also perform a piece for everyone." As he spoke, he glanced at me with a flushed face.

In that case, my current master cannot fall behind either! Hehe, I wrote this while lying on the board

Huh? It has appeared? I looked down at the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Wuwawa!" The "Maruko Group" was so frightened that they huddled together, squatting on the ground with their heads held in their arms

Before I could comprehend what was happening, a deafening scream erupted around me. The girls standing nearby quickly pressed the buttons on their pre-prepared collection devices, cameras, and even DV camcorders, all of which were aimed at the same person—Holy Night

Afternoon, physical education class

On the basketball court, I once again recalled a wave of enthusiastic applause

Of course! Since the sports meeting is being held here in Maple Forest, as the host, we must strive for victory even more! At this point, I suddenly recalled the agreement I made with Mrs. Jin in the Maple Forest, and a strong fighting spirit surged through my entire body like an electric current. Hmph, no matter what schemes they have, I will not let them succeed!

Mingde, Mingde! The will to achieve is unwavering!

"Is that true?" Saint Yi blinked her sparkling eyes and looked at me earnestly

... ... is that you? ! '' When SUN clearly saw my face, the expression on my face immediately changed from surprise to panic

The sound of rustling or flowing

After a few seconds of silence, the classmates and the teacher finally came to their senses and applauded fervently for Saint Yi

That damned Xiao Wu, I never expected him to be so malicious! ... However, it seems he is particularly targeting Holy Night ... ? ... What could be the reason for that? ? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glare at him fiercely once again.

Ah? You are not in good health, why do you still want to practice basketball? It's very dangerous! I looked at him in confusion

Mini, how are you! Little Saint, gomyhome! Mini, how are you! Everyone, gomyhome! Mini, how are you! Little Saint, gomyhome! Mini, how are you! Everyone, gomyhome!

Ah ah ah ah ah—Holy Night! Holy Night! Let's go, Holy Night ah ah ah ah ah—

"Xiao Xi, this goal just scored is dedicated to you"

Wow, it's so noisy! Stop knocking! I'm covering my ears and impatiently shouting, "Let's start now!"

The sound of clapping!

Saint Yi waved his hand in gratitude to the girls who had shouted at him, slightly out of breath as he picked up the basketball from the ground, and turned to smile at me

Just as our group was having a great time, suddenly, without knowing who had bumped into her, the flute in Saint Yi's hand rolled down into the tree hole

Wow! The appearance of running on Christmas Eve is so cool!

At this moment, Lady Jin slightly raised her chin, gazing at the Holy Night with a complex expression, her voice cold and deep: "So what do you want to do?"

A few minutes later, we sat down in a circle in the treehouse

Chongyang Chongyang! The best in the world!

Hmm? ... It seems that the mouth of the big maple tree has been wide open and unmoving all along, and the chicken wings that were just thrown over are now quietly lying on the ground, not having turned into a white, bony skeleton as this hero had imagined earlier. Could it be that ...

You bears, shut up! I impatiently reached out and rummaged through the backpack behind me, pulling out the ghost-fighting treasure I had prepared long ago—KFC chicken wings

Flashing! Flashing!

"Who are you?" Mrs. Jin looked at me with a face full of coldness, "Why are you sneaking around in the tree hole, eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"Hey, Yi Linxi, it's already strange enough that you're dressed all in black, why do you have to paint your face so dark as well?" Zheng Zhizhao complained irritably while scratching his own dark bald head.

Cough cough cough cough! Damn it, I hadn't finished the last "ha" when suddenly a series of screams erupted from over there, like the walls of an insane asylum collapsing, startling me to the point where I almost choked on my own saliva

Hoo hoo ... ... It's nothing! Hoo ... ... I've been practicing all along! It's nothing!" Saint Yi's face was flushed, and she hurriedly waved her hand at me, forcing a bright smile, "After practicing for so long, it finally wasn't in vain!"

Not acceptable

Yilinxi's Sky Garden

Just now, Sheng Yi's performance was indeed surprising... However, if everyone knew that prior to this, Sheng Yi had never attended any school, what kind of expressions would appear on their faces...

I, I, sob... 'Maruko Group', you all take a look at the fight!

Madam Jin, I sincerely apologize. SUN's voice was slightly subdued: "Last time, we went through great lengths to get to America, only to overlook the most critical aspect. Now, Christmas Eve has returned to Maple Grove High School. Please advise on the next steps, Madam."

Wow! Boss, I didn't expect you to have this special skill!

Finished! Boom, boom, boom, it felt as if a bomb had suddenly exploded in my head. I was momentarily stunned, then abruptly looked up to see Saint Yi's worried face, but in the next second, his expression suddenly froze, his eyes staring straight ahead. Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo! I couldn't help but breathe heavily, slowly turning my head, and indeed saw two faces filled with anger and surprise.

I made a "V" sign to Saint Ibi, and a person jumped down from the rooftop, climbing down to the ground along the rope ladder

At the end of the team, the water bell and the meat ball finally let out the roar of the mighty King Kong! We, the grasshoppers pulling on the same rope, have finally regained our morale!

I search, I search again, I search once more

Little Saint, rest assured here, let the invincible hero me go help you pick up the flute

"Do not say another word!" I instinctively trembled and tried to push SUN away, but SUN held me down with incredible strength. His expression was serious as he lowered his voice, "If you don't want to die here, then listen to me!"

Damn! Although the Fenglin High School team has Shui Linglong and "Meatball" in the best positions, I heard from the "Maruko Group" that the Yongqin High School team is sending their strongest group of warriors to compete today. Do we have a chance of winning

How do you know

Thud! I feel as if my heart has inexplicably trembled once again.

Little Saint, what are you thinking about while sitting here

Saint Yi smiled happily and waved to her classmates before returning to her seat

Wow! Damn! The flower that this hero was looking for has unexpectedly fallen to the ground, exposed under the gaze of numerous "bulbous eyes".

eerie ... ... eerie ... ...

Tick... tick... tick... tick...

I stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the Saint I in front of me, which was beginning to feel somewhat unfamiliar, my heart momentarily stunned

SUN lowered his head and glanced at me with some concern, but did not respond

I stood at the front of the line, holding the rope, watching the members of the opposing team, each resembling an upright steamed bun, the "All-Star" team, with cold sweat in the palm of my hand

At this moment, the holy night has rushed past me, darting straight towards the white line at the finish with great speed

I paused for a moment on the rope ladder, curiously straining my ears to listen to the sounds outside the cave

The footsteps stopped beside the large banyan tree, and I heard a long sigh. "It has been a long time since I graduated from Maple Forest High School. Coming back to take a look now really brings back memories..." A deep voice of a middle-aged woman echoed outside the tree hollow

However, just as I had taken a few steps up the rope ladder, the faint sound of two rustling footsteps came from outside the tree hole

Aow—Aow—

I want... it must be an important promise that needs to be protected..." Sheng Yi turned her head to look at the writing on the board, deeply sighing, "Once there is someone or a promise that one wishes to protect, even the most fragile life can become strong! The banyan tree must also be striving to grow here for this reason..."

Ah, my flute

However

The legendary banyan tree? The voices of the "Maruko Group" suddenly trembled like ripples in the water, "Oh my! Legend has it that anyone who approaches that banyan tree is swallowed by it. There have been accounts of someone witnessing a girl standing under the tree, and then suddenly disappearing!

However, I can clearly feel that the Saint Yi before me seems to no longer be the same person he once was... His face remains handsome, his demeanor still extraordinary, and in the starlit night breeze, he looks like an angel ready to soar into the sky at any moment. Yet, in Saint Yi's eyes, there is a strength that was not there before...

"How about this..." Suddenly, Sheng Ye's calm voice echoed through the woods, "The first match of the top ten university ranking competition is about to begin. I would like to make a bet with you, madam. If we win this competition, you cannot pursue the matter regarding my brother's offense. If we lose... I will present the box belonging to Fenglin High School with both hands!" The light flickering in Sheng Ye's eyes was indeed filled with brilliance, so dazzling in the dimness.

"Sheng Ye! There is no need to say more, your brother overheard my conversation with Madam Jin... You know what the consequences will be. If you do not want anything to happen to him, it is best for you to cooperate obediently." Sheng Ye's indifferent attitude caused Sun's arrogant expression to drop to below zero instantly. He coldly smiled, but his voice became even more menacing.

"Stop being so verbose, this is called camouflage!" I puffed out my cheeks in displeasure, "Of course, Xiao Sheng's welcome party must be special! I heard there is a big banyan tree hidden behind the maple forest, it's quite mysterious... Tonight, we must find that place and let Xiao Sheng have an exciting and joyful night, hehe!"

The sound of clapping or applause

Madam Jin was dressed in a magnificent deep blue striped suit, her hair tightly pulled back into a bun at the nape of her neck, and her voice was as cold and piercing as the expression on her face. Madam Jin glanced at me briefly, then shot a cold look at SUN, her eyes filled with confusion, which quickly vanished.

Yes, yes, boss, when does the welcome meeting start

But who was that woman just now, that she could want to push Fenglin High School out of the top ten universities? By the way, last time I accidentally heard Jiang Xueyin say that SUN was executing some task for someone at wwwhetushucomcom, could she be the mastermind behind it all?

Under the sunlight, Saint Yi, suspended in mid-air, wore a satisfied smile that he had never shown before! His soft hair and beautiful face, swaying in the wind, seemed to shimmer with a faint golden light! His shooting posture was nearly perfect! The basketball soared high from Saint Yi's hand, tracing a perfect arc in the air

"Holy Night, I believe you should know what to do by now!" He lifted his chin slightly towards Saint Yi, then coldly stared at Holy Night, the light in his eyes radiating a profound hostility. Although he was smiling, I felt as if his smile was like a multitude of small daggers, flying towards Holy Night with a "swish swish" sound.

Because Yongqin High School was amused by our slogan, their strength was suddenly halved. We seized the opportunity to pull back with all our might, and by the time Yongqin High School realized what was happening, the red cloth in the middle of the tug-of-war rope had already been pulled past the center line by Fenglin!

Xiao Wu, you... I am confused... my heart is completely in disarray... my mind has gone blank all of a sudden... Xiao Wu is clearly harming us, but why do I feel that he is helping me...

Saint Night turned his head to glance at Saint Yi, whose face appeared somewhat pale, and then looked at me, seemingly trying to convey a reassuring strength through his gaze. I held Saint Yi's hand and nodded at him, using my eyes to tell him that we were fine. Saint Night silently observed us for a moment before turning his head to look at us calmly, his face devoid of any expression, yet his voice carried an undeniable resolve: "Concerns that can even interest Lady Jin must be quite complex; I certainly will not hand it over casually." Saint Night silently observed us for a moment before turning his head to look at us calmly, his face devoid of any expression, yet his voice carried an undeniable resolve: "Concerns that can even interest Lady Jin must be quite complex; I certainly will not hand it over casually."

Writing? ! '' At this moment, a surprised shout from Zheng Zhizhao came from behind, and I quickly turned around and ran over

Ah, my flute!" Saint Yi stood up nervously, wanting to go over and retrieve the flute.

I pondered for a moment, slowly stood up, bent down to pick up a long branch from the ground, and cautiously took one step... one step... towards the large banyan tree. When I was a few steps away from the banyan tree, I poked the trunk of the tree with the branch I had just picked up.

Cough, cough, cough! I cleared my throat, shaped my hand like a microphone, and held it in front of my mouth. "Um, this great hero announces that the welcome ceremony for Xiao Sheng joining Maple Forest High School is now starting!"

Dear students, Sheng Yi's answer was absolutely perfect. I hope everyone can learn from Sheng Yi!

I hereby announce the ranking competition of the top ten universities in Xinghua Province, the first event—the Inter-Provincial Campus Sports Games—now begins

The tug-of-war competition is about to begin! Everyone, take your positions! Beep—

I held onto the social worker, patted him on the shoulder, winked, and gave myself a thumbs up.

Although there were a large number of infatuated girls standing nearby, sometimes close and sometimes far, laughing and calling out, trying various ways to attract his attention, he only silently watched his classmates running on the field, with an expression of envy and loneliness on his face

... ...

Sigh... I looked at Saint Yi with a hint of regret and let out a long sigh, clutching the basketball under my arm as I walked towards him

Waa waa waa waa - waa waa waa waa

Everyone, please stop causing a commotion. I think Xiao Xi is really impressive! At that moment, a clear voice reached my ears... Xiao Sheng...

Suddenly

No...! ... It can't be true, right?! Isn't Sheng Yi's physical condition not good...? How... ...! How could he have thrown such a beautiful ball?!

As I stood by the track at the playground, I immediately saw four agile figures swiftly running past where I was standing

I stared wide-eyed, dazed, at Saint Yi standing on the basketball court under the glaring sunlight. Was it because the sunlight was too dazzling? I felt as if Saint Yi's smile was shining with a beautiful golden light, making me feel a bit dizzy, and my heart began to race in my chest

... ...

Shasha—Shasha—

Even while running, the Christmas Eve sparkled in a maddening way: he wore a white sweatshirt, with his sleeves rolled up high, his gaze focused and determined on the white line of the finish ahead. The sunlight illuminated his sweat-drenched cheeks, giving his face a radiant golden glow. With each leap of his running steps, his chestnut bangs would rise high, and the sweat flying up with his hair resembled sparkling crystals, refracting beautiful light.

I quickly pulled Saint Yi to a secluded corner, temporarily escaping those cold, piercing gazes. It was then that I noticed that Xiao Sheng's breathing was somewhat rapid, with his chest rising and falling violently

This place is truly amazing! After a long time, waves of cheers soared into the sky, and the entire banyan tree excitedly rustled.

The night breeze gently blows, and the stars in the sky twinkle like dew about to fall, sparkling and clear

After the grand chorus of the "Maruko Group" and the harmonica solo by Zheng Zhizhao

The box? Upon hearing this, my heart sank with a thud, while my blood boiled with anger, bubbling up furiously. One dark source after another seemed to connect in my mind, gradually becoming clearer—so it turns out that everything was the doing of SUN and that so-called "Madam Jin"! The exposure of Xiao Sheng's identity, the negative news surrounding Sheng Ye, and their forced departure to America were all orchestrated by them. Now it seems that even their return to the country is being manipulated by this hidden puppet master. The box... ? Could it be that they want to obtain the box related to the top ten university league that Sheng Ye protects?!

Knock knock! Knock knock!

At this moment, if Saint Yi resembles an angel from heaven, then the girls behind me, glaring at me with faces full of dark energy, are like female ghosts from hell

At the very moment when the chicken wing struck the trunk of the maple tree, a gust of wind blew by, and the large maple tree seemed to be enraged, shaking its branches and leaves furiously.

With the sound of the referee's whistle, the tug-of-war competition between Maple Forest High School and Yongqin High School officially commenced, igniting the first spark of battle in the entire sports meet

In the shadowy maple forest, it seemed for a moment that even the moonlight had dimmed considerably. The wind howled, and the rustling sounds in my ears reminded me of the duels in martial arts films—no, it was the battle between the hero and the villain. Both sides maintained their combat stances, motionless, yet it felt as if a heavy stone was tied to a single hair. Furious, I stood alongside the anxious Saint Yi, the inscrutable SUN, the imposing Lady Jin, and the hurriedly arrived Saint Night, all gathered together!

Watching Zheng Zhizhao and the "Maruko Group" in a chaotic scene, Saint Yi and I exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst into laughter

A cold light flashed by, and SUN could not help but strike first

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Waa waa waa waa--waa waa waa waa--

SUN seemed completely unprepared for such a response on Christmas Eve, looking at him in disbelief, opening his mouth but momentarily unable to say anything

"Xiao Xi!" Upon seeing me walk in front of him, Sheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiao Xi, your basketball skills are amazing! It's just like that of a basketball star!"

Bang bang bang bang - bang bang bang bang

"Idiot, stop looking for trouble!" Although the bulb-headed one spoke fiercely, the voice trembled.

Stop the nonsense! If you don't want to lose, just follow the rhythm of the slogan and pull back!

Alas, Yilin Xi! What on earth are you doing? You came to comfort Saint Yi, but seeing you so happy because of playing basketball will only make him feel worse about not being able to play, won't it?

Hurry up! Money go my home! Hurry up! Honey go my home! Hurry up! Money go my home! Hurry up! Honey go my home!

Whoosh—Bang

Oh, ho ho ho, this hero's skills are indeed remarkable! I didn't expect to return to the big banyan tree so quickly. I jumped down from the rope ladder, picked up Saint Yi's flute at the entrance of the tree hole, looked up at the dark tree hole, stuffed the flute into my pants pocket, climbed back up the rope ladder, and prepared to reunite with everyone

I truly do not know which hero has built such a marvelous place, it is simply as impressive as a robotic cat! As we gaze upon this extraordinary terrace before us, all the faces of the people are left with only one expression—shock

Oh? Is someone here?

Alas! Those fellows are like terrifying black holes? ... It seems that no matter how hard we try, we cannot stop ourselves from moving towards them... What should we do?! If this continues, we will lose!

Hoo hoo hoo! My breath has become rapid again. I must say, Lady Jin's aura is incredibly formidable; in her presence, it seems that everyone is just a little ant that could be crushed. Moreover, based on this hero's experience in the martial world, her words are filled with a strong sense of danger

Very well, now you can make that call..." She tilted her chin to indicate to Sun

I just want to prove that I am no worse than anyone else; what others can achieve, I can achieve as well... All of this is for someone who is very important to me! Saint Yi did not look at me, but instead gazed at the classmates running and jumping joyfully on the playground. Yet his gaze was so fervent, and his tone so resolute and powerful, as if not even ten thousand bulls could pull him back from his decision

Hey, come quickly and take a look, someone has written something here

Brothers! Follow the slogan of this great hero!

Alas ... ? ... Christmas Eve ? Has the competition for Christmas Eve already begun ! ? By the way, I remember that his event this morning seems to be the 400-meter run !

My eyes are like a DV camera, capturing every frame of the scene with clarity. Every movement during the Christmas Eve run, every breath, the way his hair flew with the rhythm of his running, and that determined gaze fixed on the finish line.

Whoosh—bang! Bang!

Of course, I am the invincible hero of the world! Wahahaha...

Woe— I pull— I pull— I pull with all my might—

Brush, brush, brush

The sound of clapping or applause

Right in the center of the hoop

Hehe, it's nothing! I felt a bit embarrassed when Saint Yi praised me, and I instinctively scratched my head. Actually, I didn't know that there would be such amazing tree products on the banyan tree!

I murmured Saint Yi's words, always feeling that Saint Yi was gazing deeply at me with his sparkling, bright eyes, and every subtle change in his facial expressions seemed to be conveying something to me... Yet, while I felt I understood somewhat, it remained very vague...

Shasha - Shasha -

It is said that way, but none of the boys in our class can stop her shots! Perhaps she has great talent

"Cut it out, coward!" I proudly flicked my ponytail and said, "With a hero like me around, what is there to be afraid of?"

I understand! Saint Yi seemed to have realized something, standing up with a happy smile.

Hahaha, Xiao Zhao, you should stop making excuses, as we all know that your favorite is Saint Yi!

Saint Yi opened her eyes wide with joy, a sweet smile appearing on her face: "That is because I also have an important person, and I want to protect her."

Boss ... ... I feel so scared ... ... Why don't we go back ... ...

So, could it be that these signatures were left by the previous owner of this ring

Send ...? ... send it to me. ? ! ... Saint Yi wouldn't have performed this for me specifically because he heard what I just said, wanting to make me happy, would he ...

The girls' screams brought me back to my senses, and the scene before me seemed to return to its normal pace

"Brother?" Sheng Yi's expression suddenly froze, and a hint of dimness flashed across his rosy face, as if he had not expected me to say that at all! But soon he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a thoughtful smile, "Hehe... Xiao Xi, I think... one day you will understand..."

Only then did SUN take out his phone and without hesitation press a series of phone numbers, his voice revealing a triumphant smile as he called out a name: "Holy Night ... ... "

Whoosh

We have been completely discovered now! I nervously stared at SUN and Madam Jin, unable to move at all

Hmph, that person is a typical example of someone with a simple mind and well-developed limbs! That is the only advantage she has!

Hmph, do you think you can take the ball from me, the great hero? Come and try if you dare! Watch my quick pass! I will outmaneuver you! Relay! Hey! Hey! Hey! Three-step layup!

It seems that Saint Yi is not at all inferior to Saint Night's president! Truly worthy of being the twin brother of the president of Saint Night!

Hehe! So cool! I picked up the basketball, tucked it under my arm, and proudly rubbed my nose with my finger

But... what use is this box now that I have it! Thump, thump, thump... My heart began to race violently, and everything that had just become somewhat clear seemed to be shrouded once again by a massive dark cloud. I felt a strong sense that a greater danger was rapidly approaching us...

Wow, hahaha! Well said, well said! I opened my mouth wide and laughed heartily with joy, "Xiao Sheng, why do you always speak such blunt truths! It makes people feel quite embarrassed!"

Saint Yi ... ... is indeed very impressive ... ...

"Who is that person?" Madam Jin strode over confidently, and SUN instinctively stepped in front of me, only to be pushed aside by Madam Jin.

Thud! I feel as if my heart has inexplicably trembled for a moment

SUN took a deep breath, his voice becoming somewhat subdued, but after a pause, he confidently said: "Please come in, madam, rest assured, I will find a way to make Shengye hand over that box from Fenglin High School."

I let out a loud shout and rushed towards SUN, snatching the phone from his hand, which startled Madam Jin as well

Ah ha ha ha ha, what is it, nothing special! That terrifying black hole just now turned out to be an ordinary tree hole. I waved to everyone behind me, looked into the tree hole again, and suddenly, I discovered a thick rope ladder made of hemp, hidden in the darkness. My eyes lit up, and I simply grabbed the rope ladder and climbed into the tree hole. "Everyone follow me! This hero has decided that the welcome party for Little Saint will be held at the place connected by the rope ladder!"

"Good... good... so beautiful..." The "light bulb head" Zheng Zhizhao sat next to me and suddenly began to murmur. I turned my head to take a look, and a few black lines slid down my forehead.

Finally, at the end of the rope ladder, we saw a small section of ladder built among the lush branches. Climbing up the ladder, wow, I could hardly believe my eyes; before me stood a gigantic treehouse constructed near the top of the banyan tree! I never expected that such a stunning hideaway would be concealed within the banyan tree. The treehouse almost extended to the entire canopy and was layered with dense foliage, so just a moment ago, standing beneath the tree, we had completely failed to notice that there was such an aerial palace here.

"SUN, it would be best if you kept your mouth shut," the woman's voice was very cold. "If you want to gain the support of the four great families and defeat the Holy Night, you must obediently follow my instructions."

By the time we arrived at the playground, full of vigor and enthusiasm, the tug-of-war competition had already been surrounded by students, leaving no room for water to leak through.

Saint Yi is so impressive! You are our idol!

Oh? ... ! What. ... ... ! What happened? ! Just in the brief moment of one or two seconds when I was lost in thought, Saint Yi suddenly reached out and snatched the basketball from my hands!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

A great hero serves as the guardian of Maple Forest, and we at Maple Forest High School effortlessly secured our first victory in the entire match

Hehe, however, Fenglin High School has always been on your blacklist, hasn't it? You seem to prefer the closure of Fenglin High School rather than allowing it to remain in the top ten schools.

I recoiled in terror, turning my head to glance at the girls behind me who had already regarded me as their number one enemy, and a huge bead of sweat rolled down the back of my head

I know, that person must be that stinky stone, right?! Hahaha, you two brothers really are in sync! I blinked in realization and looked at Saint Yi with a smile! I remember the last time I was trapped in the Star Pavilion in Milan with the stinky stone, he said the same thing to me!

"Old man, boss, what kind of slogan is this?" shouted the squid from behind

As I pondered, I boldly patted my chest and vigorously waved my hand at the "Meatball Team": "Xiao Qiang, 'Meatball', 'Squid', the first tug-of-war match is a great opportunity to showcase our strength in reality, let's go!

Guarding important people

Ah! Go for it! Go for it! Fenglin High School, go for it! We absolutely cannot lose! Go for it!

After a while, the wind finally ceased, and the big maple tree also stopped swaying. I timidly opened my eyes and looked towards the mouth of the big maple tree.

Hey, I said 'light bulb head', are you a pervert? How could you be drooling over little Sheng!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fortunately, the "Maruko Group" did not come out of the treehouse. I made a phone call saying that Saint Yi suddenly felt unwell, and I would take him back first. Thankfully, Madam Jin and the others did not stop me either

"I wonder why Lady Jin is interested in such a small box?" However, Sheng Ye did not respond at all, seemingly engaging in a game of Tai Chi, skillfully evading countless hidden weapons, and calmly gazing at the silent Lady Jin, he asked with composure.

Oh, what a great opportunity

Madam Jin! Yet SUN seized her arm in a sudden motion, pointing with his finger above me, "That is Sheng Yi, the brother of Sheng Ye!"

Wow! Yilinxi is amazing at basketball! She has already scored 20 points by herself!

Shengye fell silent for a moment, as if contemplating something, and the atmosphere of silence made the air feel even thinner... It was unclear how Shengye intended to deal with them... Although the night breeze was cool, I felt beads of sweat forming on my back, as everyone looked at Shengye, waiting for his response...

Ah! ... Suddenly, my eyes brightened as I looked down at the rose ring on my right hand. I reached out and compared it to the rose imprint on the wooden board ... ... Wow. ... ... Indeed, the sizes are exactly the same. Not only that, but even the small notch in the center of the ring's flower can fit perfectly!

Hmm... yes... indeed! I was taken aback, unsure of what Saint Yi was thinking at that moment, so I could only hesitate and nod.

The host's voice resonated through the ultra-high decibel loudspeakers, reaching every corner of Maple Forest High School, and immediately, cheers and sounds of joy filled the air

In the evening, I, along with Sheng Yi, the "Maruko Group," and Zheng Zhizhao, dressed in all-black night gear, with our faces smeared with black ink, stealthily entered the forbidden area of Fenglin High School—the Red Maple Forest

But...! ... Oh...! It's still not working. ... ...! This hero truly wishes that his feet could grow into the ground, so that no matter how hard they try, they wouldn't be able to pull him out!

"Are you trying to negotiate with me?" Lady Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, appearing so sharp.

"Yilinxi, you better transform properly; if you don't, see what I will do to your head"

Wow! So handsome! Saint Yi! Saint Yi!

Saint Yi! I admire you so much! I will always protect you!

How despicable, I absolutely do not!!

What is the matter, Xiao Sheng? Are you feeling unwell? I looked at him with concern, fearing that something might be wrong with him

The words carved on the wooden board have become blurred. There are a total of 6 lines, and the writing becomes clearer as you go down. The last line reads: "Xiao Ai's secret base." Who is Xiao Ai? ... Even more strangely, next to each signature, there is an imprint of a rose ... These roses are all the same size, and their patterns are identical? ... Were they stamped with the school emblem? ... No, that’s not right, the rose on the school emblem seems to be much larger than this, so what could this be ...

Yeah! You foul woman, just open your eyes wide and look!

By the way, I remember seeing boatmen pulling boats on television, and they would always shout "Hey yo, hey yo." Perhaps we should also shout a slogan now...! However, "Hey yo, hey yo" is too lame, not suitable for a hero like me. It needs to be a cooler slogan...! Ugh... Oh, I got it!

Knock knock knock knock knock knock

In physical education classes at school, as long as there is no practice for the 800-meter run, I am still very willing to attend! Especially basketball, I have loved it since childhood! In elementary school, I was even a key player in the girls' basketball team!

Then SUN looked at me deeply, and I noticed that for a moment his face turned somewhat pale, his eyes revealing a sense of seriousness and concern ... ? ... What exactly are those two up to? ? ! I only felt that the tangled mess in my mind was growing larger. ... At that moment, SUN glanced at Saint Yi, rolled his eyes, lowered his eyelids, and leaned close to Madam Jin's ear, whispering something unknown ...

The banyan tree remains unresponsive

Madam Jin's movements suddenly came to a halt in the blink of an eye. She raised her head with a "pop," staring blankly at Saint Yi's bewildered face for a long, long time... without uttering a single word. Her eyes were swirling with thick clouds of mist, making it impossible to discern what she was truly thinking.

Hoo! Looking at the culprit in front of us who has been scheming against us and is determined to bring us down, my chest rises and falls violently, and my eyes burn with fierce anger as I wait for them, yet no one pays me any attention... It seems that due to the presence of the holy night, the atmosphere has become unusually calm...

What is happening? Why is my heart beating so violently?

"Xiao Xi... have you not found it yet?" At that moment, Sheng Yi unexpectedly climbed down the rope ladder as well, her clear voice resonating unusually clearly in the dark woods.

No, I just think this is fairer. To her surprise, on Christmas Eve, he calmly met her gaze, not at all intimidated by her words. The wind tousled his flowing hair, and he stood tall and unyielding like the surrounding maple trees.

Jump shot! Three-point shot!

Holy Night ... ... Holy Night. ... ... You must hold on!

I turned around in surprise and saw Saint Yi dribbling into the court, executing a magnificent 360° spin! He rushed beyond the three-point line, crouched down, jumped, and shot!

"Xiao Xi, what are you doing?" I am trying hard to decipher the handwriting of the first line when Sheng Yi suddenly leaned over, "Xiao Xi." Sheng Yi was sitting beside me, gently smiling as he looked at me, "Thank you for bringing me here tonight, this place is really wonderful!"

Hoo Hoo ... ... Hoo Hoo ... ...

What is going on?! I turned my head in exasperation, glaring furiously at the "Maruko Group" that was busy banging on various models of soda cans

Ding——

Oh my! He seems like a historian!

Brothers! Pull with all your might, ahhh!

Hurry up! Money go to my home! Hurry up! Honey go to my home!

Maple Forest, Maple Forest! The strongest in history!

Yilinxi, what are you doing?! You have such audacity!! I don't know why, but SUN suddenly roared at me like a lion that had been stripped of its mane, forcefully pulling at my arm... His eyes were red as he glared at me, and I actually forgot to struggle. He suddenly turned to look at Madam Jin, his voice and the hand holding the phone trembling slightly. What exactly was he so nervous about... His eyes were red as he glared at me, and I actually forgot to struggle. He suddenly turned to look at Madam Jin, his voice and the hand holding the phone trembling slightly. What exactly was he so nervous about...

Old man, big brother, today's maple forest is so lively, I have never seen so many people before! The 'Maruko Group' is clearly stunned by such a grand scene, following closely behind me and stammering in admiration

As soon as the host's voice fell, the entire Maple Forest High School transformed into a boiling ocean. The campus was filled with cheerleaders in mini skirts, waving golden and pink pom-poms and continuously shouting slogans

... ...

A stream of resentful black energy emanating from these girls gathered together, coiling around me like a great python, tightening its grip on my neck to the point where I could hardly breathe

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh - Bang

"Pfft—hahaha, what slogan are they shouting!" The captain of Yongqin High School, standing opposite me, suddenly couldn't hold back and let out a laugh. His laughter seemed to ignite the fuse of hilarity at Yongqin High School, and all the students behind him couldn't help but burst into laughter at us.

Who is Saint Yi trying to protect? ... Huh ... ... I don't know why, but thinking about this makes me feel a bit anxious. ... ... ... As for that vague "something D something," I have already cast it aside, and at that time, I had no idea that I had missed out on such an exhilarating super secret ...

Thud! Thud! ... Why do I have a strong feeling that things won't be that simple? The eerie maple forest appears so strange, and my heart, which had just calmed down, starts racing again ...! ... Huff! Huff! Huff! I am trying hard to adjust my breathing, repeatedly encouraging myself. Yi Linxi, what's wrong with you? You are the number one hero, and that stinky stone is performing so well; how can you be so cowardly!! I am trying hard to adjust my breathing, repeatedly encouraging myself. Yi Linxi, what's wrong with you? You are the number one hero, and that stinky stone is performing so well; how can you be so cowardly!

Yay! Fenglin High School has won!

The woman scoffed slightly and said, "So what do you suggest we do?"

In an instant, I felt the force from the opposite side suddenly diminish

Victory to Yongqin! Victory to Yongqin! Victory to Yongqin! Victory to Yongqin!

Alas! Regardless of everything, in any case, I will just brace myself and do my best to pull back later!

Comrades, please note that Guo Ni made a mistake in this part. It initially mentioned the banyan tree, correct? After the phrase "sha la la la," it changed to "maple tree," and then later reverted back to the banyan tree. Do not get confused; it is actually the same banyan tree that "eats people."

Hehehe! Saint Yi also laughed happily, "Xiao Xi, it seems that you really enjoy playing basketball! Is playing basketball very fun?"

My face is redder than a tomato, I can hardly bear to look at Saint Yi. It's embarrassing, I have truly never been this embarrassed before!

Then, following the example of several predecessors, I applied a layer of color to the rose petals of the ring and pressed my handprint behind this hero's signature. I clapped my hands, admiring my masterpiece, but suddenly, a line of text in the front row caught my attention. ... It was so blurred that it was almost impossible to discern what these characters were trying to express, however ... I seemed to see, in the middle of that line, the letter "D" written ... It was so blurred that it was almost impossible to discern what these characters were trying to express, however ... I seemed to see, in the middle of that line, the letter "D" written ... ...

She ... ? ... agreed. ? ! ! For a moment, I truly found it hard to believe my ears. Just look at that Madame Jin's demeanor; she must be a formidable character, yet she was instantly subdued by the Holy Night ? !

Oh...! ... As calm as the tranquility before the storm!

What, sneaky? You have done so many bad things yourself, yet you still dare to say this to me, the great hero? I was instantly furious, and with a determined heart, I raised my head to look her straight in the eye: "I... I am Yi Linxi, a student in the second year of high school at Fenglin High School. Moreover, I have always acted justly and stood tall, never sneaky. I came to Fenglin tonight for an adventure and never expected that there would actually be ghosts here!"

Great! Boss, long live! Long live!

I only saw SUN suddenly lean closer to me, gritting his teeth as he said, "You know, it is very easy for a lady to make someone disappear." He then looked up at Saint Yi, as if reminding me, "Right now, only the Holy Night can save you. If you don't want your friend to get into trouble, just shut up!"

Sha la la la la -

Yes, boss

The grasshopper on the same rope has finally regained its spirit again

Bang bang! Dong dong clang clang! A sudden loud noise erupted from behind.

Amidst the discussions of my classmates resting beside the court, I lifted the basketball high and sent it soaring towards the backboard. It struck the center of the square on the backboard and cleanly fell into the hoop

"Madam..." SUN rushed up, seemingly wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Madam Jin with a wave of her hand, "It's settled!"

"Alright, I will agree to your request." Upon seeing this, Madam Jin hesitated slightly before nodding in agreement

To everyone's surprise, Sheng Yi answered the question just now even more fluently than the history teacher! Although I do not know exactly what Sheng Yi was saying, from the astonished looks of my classmates and the teacher, I can be certain that Sheng Yi's response must have been quite impressive

I impatiently pushed aside the girl who had just stepped on my foot in her excitement, completely unaware of it. I turned to look at Sheng Ye, but the moment my gaze met his... I felt as if time had been pressed to slow motion, and everything around me became sluggish.

Madam Jin gave him a slight glance, as if Saint Night's response had caught her off guard, but she soon smiled faintly as if nothing had happened: "Actually, it's nothing... Since everyone is so concerned, I just wanted to join in the fun."

A flash of sharp light flickered in Lady Jin's eyes as she suddenly raised her hand, and it seemed that a heavy slap was about to land on my cheek... In an instant, it felt as if the air in the entire maple forest had come to a standstill, and the whole world had fallen into a profound silence

Knock knock knock—knock knock knock—

The urgent and passionate sound of drums echoed throughout the sky of Maple Forest High School, while a large banner fluttered high above, with the ten golden characters "Top Ten University Ranking Competition of Xinghua Province" seemingly more dazzling than the sun
