The silence of dawn was shattered by a rooster crowing in the early morning. When Lin Yuan woke up, the sun was already rising, and the sunlight shone in, touching the skin, and he could feel a trace of burning.

"Oops, overslept. ”

He turned over, put the stone sword on his back, and hurriedly ran towards the Baicaotang. When he came, he saw Master Zhuang Xuanhuo and Ge Qing and Xue Lihua coming out of the front of the hall, so he ran up in a hurry, panting, and said ashamedly: "Disciple is sleepy, let Master and Senior Brother wait for a long time." ”

Zhuang Xuanhuo glanced at him and said, "It's okay, you don't have to draw lots today, there is still time, but tomorrow is not like today." ”

"Yes, the disciple knows. Lin Yuan nodded, and after speaking, his eyes swept around unconsciously, only to see that Ji Yang was the only one among the people, so he asked, "Huh...... What about the senior brother, did you go first?"

Everyone's faces sank, and Ge Qing said: "Senior Brother was called out by Senior Sister Gu Lengling last night and hasn't returned yet, so there is no need to wait for him." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan asked suspiciously, "Senior brother, is something wrong?"

Xue Lihua suddenly sighed and said: "We also learned this morning that the Neon Phoenix Sword Dance performed by Qing Xuan yesterday is a method of survival from the dead, especially the last Nirvana style, once it is performed, it will become a benevolent if it is not successful, not to mention that she suddenly accepted the recruitment, and she has been counterattacked, the light is the damage to the internal organs, the Tao is greatly reduced, and the heart is broken, and the time is short, so Senior Brother and Senior Sister Gu pursued it overnight, but until now there has not been even a single message." ”

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his heart moved, one after another, it was difficult to calm down, and said, "There is still such a thing... Wouldn't the senior brother be able to participate in the competition? ”

Ge Qing sighed, came to his side, and said, " Senior brother, you started late, I don't know a lot of things, the relationship between senior brother and Qing Xuan is not as simple as it seems on the surface, although the senior brother has avoided Qing Xuan everywhere over the years, but their position in each other's hearts is even more important than their own lives, although the courtyard is related to the reputation of the hospital, but at this moment, for the senior brother, the most important thing is Qing Xuan's safety, we are brothers and sisters, naturally we have to share with him, this time the courtyard competition, no matter whether he can catch up or not, but the heart must be with us. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "What the second senior brother said is that I hope that Sister Qingxuan will not have any major incidents, but when the senior brother leaves, the burden of the courtyard will fall on the shoulders of the two senior brothers. Saying that, he was slightly sad, blaming himself in his heart, he had a self-cultivation, but he was hindered by his teacher's life, and he didn't dare to show it in front of others, this feeling really made him feel aggrieved.

"Senior brother, don't worry, even if the senior brother doesn't come, your second senior brother and I will squeeze into the top ten even if we risk our lives, otherwise it will really make people laugh. Xue Lihua said suddenly, Lin Yuan looked at him, smiled slightly, nodded vigorously, and said, "Senior brother, come on." ”

Zhuang Xuanhuo also smiled, glanced at the hour, and then said: "Disciples, it's not too early, let's go." ”

All the disciples responded in unison, and the four masters and apprentices flew on the spot. This time, Ge Qing carried Lin Yuan, although his cultivation was not as deep as Ji Yang's, this way of flying was quite stable, and after a while, he saw that the place where he practiced martial arts was in front of him. Further on, it is the Yanwu Palace, after sending Zhuang Xuanhuo to the back of the hall to rest, the three of them went to their own rings.

......

In front of the No. 2 ring, Lin Yuan walked to the stage, and at this time, there was still some time before the start of the competition, and the crowd was still there, and there was already a person waiting quietly on the stage. Lin Yuan walked into the ring, and the person who was waiting saw him come up and said, "Uncle Lin, don't come unharmed." ”

Lin Yuan glanced at this person, but he felt familiar, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that this person was Sun Hao of Qingyu Academy, Sun Luanyue's cousin, because he only had one side, when he watched the battle announcement before, he didn't think that it was this person for a while.

"It turned out to be you, I didn't expect it to be against you this time. Lin Yuan said.

Sun Hao said: "I didn't expect it to be Uncle Shi, I heard the senior brother in the same hospital say that I was assigned to the ring here, so I hurried over." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I am going to leave for your Unan country today, and I just don't know where to go, so I just want to ask you today." ”

"Oh...... my country of Unan is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, separated by a vast ocean, and the road is far away, I don't know why Uncle Shi is going?"

"Hey, hey... Naturally, I went to look for my senior sister, and she had not heard from her for a long time, and the master and several senior brothers were very close to her, so I asked me to go and pay a visit. Lin Yuan said with a dry face, looking forward to the scene of meeting Sun Luanyue, and a warm current of happiness suddenly surged in his heart, this year, he has been thinking about that shadow all the time, if it weren't for the fact that Dabi in the door contributed to the courtyard, I am afraid that he would have already gone.

This year, it seems that a long time has passed, and now it has finally come to an end. It's just that Sun Hao's next words caught him by surprise:

"I see, but His Royal Highness has long been far away from other countries and has become the wife of the fourth prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom, if Uncle Shi wants to go to the Unan Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not be able to see it......"

When the words fell, Lin Yuan's expression froze suddenly, looked at him directly, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe... What nonsense are you talking about, senior sister is just going home to visit her mother, how can she get married!"

Sun Hao said: " Uncle Shi said with a smile, it is about the reputation of Her Royal Highness the princess, how can I say nonsense, my Unan country is a small country in the desert, for many years by the harassment of neighboring countries, coupled with the domestic political instability, has been internal and external troubles, helpless, the king will ask for help from the most powerful Rakshasa country around, and the condition of this aid is that the two countries are harmonious, let His Royal Highness marry the four princes of his country as wives, yesterday I also received a letter from my father, the letter also mentioned that His Royal Highness is pregnant, and successfully gave birth to a prince at the beginning of this month, the mother and child are safe, let me go to congratulate after the hospital, and Uncle Shi can go together？”

Lin Yuan's ears suddenly sounded Sun Luanyue's words before leaving: "If you leave, you will never come back." Word by word, like a knife twisted in his heart, his eyes were dark, he paused a few steps back, and kept shouting in his mouth: "No, no, no...", he actually stood unsteadily and ran off the ring, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran all the way in the eyes of everyone, and at this time, the bell of "Dong ~" rang, and the elder who presided over the competition had also stepped into the ring, but he did not look back, as if crazy, and plunged into the forest next to him.

Lin Shen is quiet, Lin Yuan ran wildly unscrupulously, in order to vent the emotions in his heart, everywhere he passed, the birds scattered, the beasts ran wildly, finally, he was tired, fell on a boulder, closed his eyes, the days and nights of the past, as if vividly, that smile, that kiss parting, lingering in the heart, but the most hurtful.

"Young master, there is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower, I see that there are a few pretty girls in your door, it's good, why stick to the past, and seek the near and far. ”

The voice of the devouring soul came out of his arms, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he did not get any response, at this moment his heart was as calm as stagnant water, he felt that the world was vast, he was like a particle of dust, the road was long, nothing could not pass with the wind, but even so, a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye, no matter how he comforted himself, sadness is sadness.

In the drowsiness, he looked around, in a daze, I don't know how long later, Yu Qiongyao found him from the forest, saw him, and shouted: "Uncle Lin, go back quickly, Uncle Xue has an accident." ”
