As soon as Liu Xiao finished speaking, song Qing raised his eyebrows and asked,”
“Is it the same in the past years?”
His expression suddenly became serious, and there was some hesitation in his expression.
“No.” He shook his head and denied, ”
the selection and advancement of the personal guards have always been a strict process. They need to be examined many times.
Those who entered the reserve team could all possibly be the core of the Shi family’s power in the future. Other than talent and strength, the evaluation of each person’s background and character would be far more detailed than when they had entered the reserve team.
Therefore, after a new member joined the reserve team, there would usually be a long observation period.
but the situation is different this time. Liu Xiao looked around and signaled for song qingxiao to follow him. The two of them walked out of the training field. After they were a distance away from the crowd, Liu Xiao lowered his voice and said, ”
ten days ago, all the captains of the reserve team received an order from the Shi family headquarters to move the exam, which was originally scheduled for the end of the year, to next month.
Each of the Empire’s reserve teams had their own process of nurturing talents. With the Shi family’s letter this time, it was very likely that the reserve team would be placed in an awkward position.
Take Liu Xiao’s reserve team as an example. Liu Xiao had always been a high- profile member of the team. He and several other outstanding members were on the list of candidates for the exam.
Once all of them were selected, the reserve team under Cao Zeng’s management would face a situation of a shortage of talents.
It was very likely that they would not be able to find a suitable candidate during the next year’s examination.
“Captain has been throwing tantrums for many days because of this.” When Liu Xiao said this, he smiled bitterly.
While he was talking to song Qing, Cao Zeng was also chatting with Captain Ren, who was frowning. Naturally, he noticed the conversation between the two. He seemed to have known that Liu Xiao was going to have a chat with song Qing, so he did not intend to interrupt them.
When his gaze landed on Liu Xiao, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
For Cao Zeng, the letter from the Shi family was like an early squeeze. When he handed over the list, he was heartbroken. In addition, he had to worry about the talent reserve for the next year. Naturally, he was furious when he thought of this.
“All of you are leaving?” Song qingxiao was sharp enough to catch the information in Liu Xiao’s words. She could not help but ask, ” “Isn’t it said that the requirements for such an examination are particularly strict?”
Song qingxiao hadn’t been in the reserve team for a long time, but she knew that in the annual examination, half of the candidates would fail and would be removed from the list.
In other words, the admission rate for the reserve team’s exam was not 100%. In the competition between a group of geniuses, there was a 50% chance of failing the exam.
However, the meaning behind Liu Xiao’s words made it seem as if they would definitely be selected to be part of the Shi family’s private guards.
“You don’t know.” Liu Xiao sighed, this year’s situation is different from previous years. I’m guessing that this year’s exam is just a formality. The so- called competition should only be dividing the team members into different groups.”
At this point, the conversation between the two finally entered the main topic. Song Qing’s small eyebrows raised,
“Why?”
“It’s possible…” After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xiao said softly, “”The Shi family and the starry sky sea might go to war again!”
Since they had already come to this point, Liu Xiao naturally did not hide it anymore.
some time ago, a wild beast broke into the Shi family. You should have seen it, right? ”
In fact, when song qingxiao had heard about the series of unusual movements in the Shi family, she had already suspected that it might be related to the day she had broken into the Imperial City.
Now that Liu Xiao had asked about it, she nodded calmly.
“I’ve heard of it.”
Liu Xiao didn’t connect her with the person who had broken into the Shi family that day. He continued, ”
the news that day said that a ferocious beast had broken into the Shi family, but in fact, there were two demonic beasts that had entered the Imperial City.
“The truce agreement back then was to not invade each other, but the demonic beasts ‘intrusion today naturally reneges on this agreement. Half a month ago, the Shi clan sent people to the starry sea, but not long after, they immediately sent out a letter to gather people. This is simply preparation for war.”
“Our strength is far inferior to that of the senior from back then.” When he said this, he seemed to feel a little regretful.’Tn the past, the blood of many people splattered across the starry sea. Now, it’s our turn. I wonder if we’ll be able to return after this trip.”
