Inside the Ling family's villa

Zu Jinglun, the president and vice president of the Cultivators Association, and Zu Jingyan sat on the west side of the table, and the blue sky dome and blue sky oracle sat on the west side of the table in the hall. The high-level members of the Ling family sat on the east side of the table, and even Ling Jianyuan only sat in the first position on the east side, leaving two chairs on the south side of the table. The chairman's seat, which faces north and south, is also placed with two chairs.

No one had made the chair on the south side, and the other people standing did not dare to sit rashly.

Ling Feifei and Ling Weicheng, brothers and sisters, could only stand next to them and were not qualified to sit at the table.

However, this does not mean that their status is not high enough, it's just that the two of them, as juniors of the Ling family, can't sit down on such a big occasion.

The other Lan family and Ling family children stood at the door of the villa, and they were not qualified to approach the seats, but they were already considered to be not low.

In ancient times, this was called "entering the house", and being able to enter the house was already a noble status.

Qi Luyu and Yue Lingchun from the Ice Phoenix Palace came down from the second floor, and they were watching Zhou Xuan from the balcony just now.

The two women sat in the most honorable two seats and watched the crowd.

Even Zu Jinglun and Zu Jingyan are respectful to these two young girls, although they are only twenty-six or seventeen years old, their status is really not low.

The disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace, this status is even higher than Zhou Xu, a disciple of the Qin Sect!

Zhou Xuan squinted slightly, carefully looked at the two women, and guessed their identities.

From the time he was outside just now, Zhou Xuan had already vaguely sensed that someone was paying attention to him, and his strength was not weak.

Now it seems that the people who secretly paid attention to themselves just now should be these two women.

Qi Luyu and Yue Lingchun looked at Zhou Xuan quietly, and then turned to Lan Ruolan.

Zhou Xu's appearance is ordinary, but in terms of appearance, he is indeed not worthy of Lan Ruolan. is not ugly or handsome, it can only be regarded as attractive, Zhou Xuan is just the kind of ordinary passer-by.

"Your name is Zhou Xu, we already know it. Today is the Ling family's family banquet, and it stands to reason that we have no reason to participate, but we are here on behalf of the palace master of the Ice Phoenix Palace, and I hope you can support us. At the same time, I would also like to thank the head of the Ling family, the head of the Lan family, and the Penglai City Cultivators Association for their hospitality. ”

Qi Luyu stared at Zhou Xuan quietly and said in a flat tone.

Lan Tianqiong, Ling Jianyuan, Zu Jinglun and others didn't dare to say much, they just kept their faces and said a few polite words.

Zhou Xuan nodded, since joining the Qin Sect, he had heard of many cultivation sects in Huaxia.

The Ice Phoenix Palace is located overseas, and there are only female cultivators in the sect, and they specialize in the Five Elements Waterway.

The strength of the palace master of the Ice Phoenix Palace was not under the head of the Qin Sect, and Zhou Xuan had already privately received a hint from Ling Feifei and knew the relationship between Lan Ruolan and the Ice Phoenix Palace.

Lan Ruolan was able to go to the Ice Phoenix Palace to cultivate, which was the best thing for her, and Zhou Xuan had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, Zhou Xuan even hoped that his sister could follow Lan Ruolan to the Ice Phoenix Palace and become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace! Because only in the Ice Phoenix Palace could Zhou Lian get better cultivation resources.

The most important thing is that Bingfeng Palace only accepts female disciples, and with Lan Ruolan by her sister's side, Zhou Xuan will be very relieved of her sister's safety.

However, he couldn't just agree like this, if he let the people of the Ice Phoenix Palace take Lan Ruolan directly, it would be too shameless. Zhou Xuan had already thought of a plan, not only not to offend the Ice Phoenix Palace, but also to draw more benefits from them.

And this benefit is that Zhou Xuan wants his sister to become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace, and ascend to the sky in one step!

Because Zhou Xuan knew very well that Zhou Lian's talent was definitely not enough to become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace. If you want her to become a cultivator and get a better cultivation environment, this is the only way.

Lan Ruolan also knew Zhou Xu's thoughts, she and Zhou Xu's hearts were sharp, and their plans were the same.

"The two of you are from the Ice Phoenix Palace, both of you are in the realm of Qi Chenggang, and your strength is good. ”

Zhou Xuan sat down indifferently, leaned back in his chair, and smiled.

With the bearing of a big man, even if he was sitting on the lowest seat, Zhou Xuan exuded an aura that was more noble than anyone else.

Yue Lingchun frowned, stared at Zhou Xu, and said:

"We already know that you and the eldest lady are in a relationship, and the previous things are forgotten. But from now on, you have to break up with the eldest lady and dissolve the relationship. This is what our palace master means, the palace master is the mother of the eldest lady, and she is qualified to do this. ”

Originally, he didn't have much affection for Zhou Xu, and Yue Lingchun himself didn't quite give orders to Zhou Xuan so straightforwardly, after all, it was easy to offend Miss Lan while offending him.

It's just that Zhou Xu's calm and extremely leisurely appearance makes Yue Lingchun very angry, as if he didn't take the two of himself in his eyes.

This made Yue Lingchun a little angry.

Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows lightly and chuckled indifferently:

"Oh, it's funny that you said I should dissolve my relationship with Miss Lan. First of all, how are you sure that Lan Ruolan and I are in a relationship? and secondly, even if you can confirm our relationship, what qualifications do you have to let me leave her?"

didn't give Yue Lingchun any face at all, Zhou Xuan was blunt.

Originally, he didn't want to offend the people of Bingfeng Palace, but now Zhou Xuan changed his mind. Since Yue Lingchun has a bad attitude towards herself, there is no need to flatter or flatter her.

It's just a woman, and she's just a female disciple in the realm of turning into qi and becoming a gang, and the strength of the Ice Phoenix Palace is okay, where did she get the capital to show off her power here?

Since he didn't get Yue Lingchun's attention, Zhou Xuan didn't plan to compliment. Instead of being submissive, it is better to show some strength and let Yue Lingchun respect himself from the bottom of his heart.

"Woman, don't think too much of yourself, you don't seem to me to be eye-catching. You are a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace, I am a disciple of the Qin Sect, if you want to scream in front of me, you might as well show your strength, this is more convenient. ”

Zhou Xuan snorted lightly, with a slight provocation in his tone.

Yue Lingchun was furious, slapped the case, and pinched the seal with both hands.

"Zhou Xu, you are arrogant! Okay, let you see the spells of our Ice Phoenix Palace. ”

"Clear Water Flow, Water Dragon!"

Immediately chose to do it, Yue Lingchun knew in his heart that if he wanted to convince people like Zhou Xu, he could only defeat him.

A stream of water from Yue Lingchun's hands turned into the shape of a water dragon in mid-air, full of momentum.

Blue Sky Dome and Ling Jianyuan were secretly frightened, how could they have ever seen such a magical spell?

The water was invisible, but under Yue Lingchun's control, it condensed into the shape of a water dragon, and it was still suspended in mid-air, such spells were really exquisite.

With the strength of the Qi Transformation Gang realm, Yue Lingchun did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to defeat Zhou Xu, but he also had the confidence to restrain him.

This water dragon can at least put a lot of pressure on Zhou Xu.

Qi Luyu smiled and said secretly in his heart:

"Yue Lingchun's understanding of spells is exquisite, and her water dragon is different from ordinary clear water flows. The temperature of the water dragon in Yue Lingchun can reach minus 30 degrees, and the control of the water flow through spells ensures that the water dragon will not freeze into an ice dragon. As soon as these extremely low temperature water dragons touch other people's bodies, they will quickly freeze and freeze their bodies. Even if Zhou Xuan had that weird purple flame, he might not be able to easily stop this water dragon. ”

Yue Lingchun snorted coldly and stared at Zhou Xuan quietly,

"Zhou Xu, I admit that your talent is okay, but that's all. I think you can understand that for cultivators, only with strength can they have the right to speak. Although your strength is strong, but it is not as good as ours, I advise you to pay attention to your status, words and deeds. ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head, raised his right index finger deep in his arm, and a crape myrtle heavenly fire surrounded his fingertips.

"Your trick is indeed good, but it is not the essence of it. ”

After saying that, the purple flames at his fingertips rushed towards the water dragon, steaming the water dragon into a mist almost instantly.

In Zhou Xu's eyes, Yue Lingchun's spell was just pediatric, not worth mentioning at all. A dignified water dragon, but it is so small that it is no different from a water snake. To break this spell, it is enough to use a small strand of crape myrtle heavenly fire.

"How is this possible!"

Yue Lingchun was shocked.

I didn't expect Zhou Xu's purple flame to be so powerful, it had already exceeded his previous conjecture!

Retracting the crape myrtle heavenly fire, Zhou Xuan continued to wait for Yue Lingchun and Qi Luyu to speak first.

Yue Lingchun gritted her teeth, couldn't wipe her face, and remained silent.

She admitted in her heart that Zhou Xuan was indeed more powerful than herself.

But even so, his current strength is still not worthy of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady must go with them today.

Qi Luyu frowned, looked at Zhou Xuan quietly, and said:

"You are a disciple of the Qin Sect, and from our personal point of view, we naturally don't want to offend you. But our Palace Master of the Ice Phoenix Palace ordered that we must bring her daughter back, and in the future, the cultivation of the eldest lady will be taught by the Palace Master himself. ”

"I hope you can know that if the two of us can't bring the eldest lady back this time, it's hard to say what kind of strength the person who comes to you next time. We may not be your opponents, but that doesn't mean that there are no masters among the other disciples of the Ice Phoenix Palace. ”

I hope Zhou Xuan can cooperate, and Qi Luyu will persuade him with good words.

As far as Zhou Xuan was concerned, he really hoped that Lan Ruolan could go to the Ice Phoenix Palace to cultivate.

The cultivation environment of the Ice Phoenix Palace is better, and the palace master is also Lan Ruolan's biological mother, so she is treated favorably.

But now Zhou Xuan must also show some strength, only in this way can he deter the people of the Ice Phoenix Palace, and only then can he let his sister join the Ice Phoenix Palace, and ensure that she will not be bullied there.

"Hehe, the water snake spell you just cast seems to me to be a joke. I'm thinking now that letting Ruolan go to the Ice Phoenix Palace will not be good for her. After all, your strength is too weak, and your spells are too clumsy. ”

Speaking sarcastically, Zhou Xuan deliberately said so.

"But yes, presumably you are not the most talented disciples of the Ice Phoenix Palace, maybe it's just that your personal talent is relatively poor. ”

In just two sentences, Zhou Xuan directly covered the momentum of Yue Lingchun and Qi Luyu.

The two women were red-faced and red-eared, and they were naturally displeased when they were sarcastically ridiculed by Zhou Xu.

It's just that it's not good to attack now, Zhou Xu's purple flame is too weird, and the two women are not sure to balance Zhou Xu.

"Ruolan has her own choice, and I will not insist on interfering. You are also right, the Ice Phoenix Palace is very suitable for cultivation for Ruolan. It's okay to let her go with you. But, I have one request. ”

Zhou Xuan squinted his eyes and his expression was solemn.

Yue Lingchun raised his vigilance, not knowing what kind of request Zhou Xuan would make, but I hope it wouldn't be too much.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Qi Luyu smiled and responded cheerfully.

As long as Zhou Xuan is willing to let them take away the eldest lady, it is easy to say whatever the request is, as long as it is not too excessive.

Zhou Xuan nodded, grabbed his sister's wrist, and said:

"This is my sister, named Zhou Lian. She was a mortal and not very good at cultivating. But I hope that she can become a cultivator, and the Ice Phoenix Palace only accepts female disciples, I wonder if I can let my sister join the Ice Phoenix Palace?"

"This ......"

Qi Luyu and Yue Lingchun were speechless, and the two women looked at each other and hesitated.

The rule of the Ice Phoenix Palace since ancient times is that only female disciples are accepted, and this must not be broken. Zhou Lian is also a girl, and it is not difficult to theoretically make her a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace.

It's just that Qi Luyu and the others have not yet replaced the power of the high-level disciples in the sect, so they can't directly agree to Zhou Xu.

Lan Ruolan frowned and said firmly:

"I've been living with Sister Zhou Lian for a long time, and if I leave with you and then separate from Sister Zhou Lian, then I don't even have a friend to talk to. ”

"Moreover, I had never seen my mother since I was a child, and I even thought she was dead a long time ago. If you don't let me bring a friend to the Ice Phoenix Palace, then I'd rather not go!"

Knowing Zhou Xu's thoughts, Lan Ruolan spoke for her without hesitation.

Bingfeng Palace is an overseas cultivation sect, and the disciples in the sect are extremely talented. With Zhou Lian's talent, it may be difficult to become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace with his personal ability, and Zhou Xuan is very worried about this.

Lan Ruolan had to leave, and she couldn't intervene in this issue. Instead of arguing with the people of the Ice Phoenix Palace now, it is better to maximize the benefits and let his sister also have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace and become a cultivator.

Moreover, let my sister leave with Lan Ruolan, and the two can be each other's company, at least not lonely.

With these considerations, Zhou Xuan made such a decision, and he thought about it for a long time.

Yue Lingchun frowned, and immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, Miss, as long as you are willing to go to the Ice Phoenix Palace with us, it doesn't hurt to bring a friend. ”

"Zhou Xu, I promise you that your sister can also enjoy the treatment of a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace. We can provide your sister with cultivation elixirs, as well as cultivation methods for various spells. But there is only one thing, we can't promise to make your sister an official disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace right now. ”

Hearing Yue Lingchun's words, Zhou Xuan thought about it and understood what she meant.

Yue Lingchun meant to agree to let Zhou Lian go to the Ice Phoenix Palace together, but there was no guarantee that she would be able to become a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace, and she could only enjoy the treatment that was basically equivalent to that of other disciples.

This is not bad, although it does not have the legitimate identity of a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace, but at least it can be regarded as the same treatment.

Now that he is still in the stage of improving his strength, Zhou Xuan has no time, let alone experience, to teach his sister how to cultivate in person. Let her cultivate in the Ice Phoenix Palace for a period of time first, and then take her back when she breaks through the human immortal realm, the plan is perfect.

"What do you think?" Zhou Xuan turned his head to ask his sister.

This kind of thing, of course, I can make decisions for my sister, but I have to let her make up her mind and respect her choice.

Zhou Lian didn't know much about cultivators, so she didn't know how to answer.

"But...... Brother, I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year, and if I can't get into college because of this incident, what should I do?"

Still stuck in the ideological understanding of studying hard and going to university, Zhou Lian didn't know what it meant to be a cultivator.

Becoming a cultivator, the future life can be described as a smooth progress, what is the mortal life of going to college and finding a job?

Zhou Xuan smiled and comforted gently:

"It's fine. Cultivators pursue Taoism, Taoism, and longevity, so why should they worry about going to university? Going to college is just a life path for mortals, and it should not be a stumbling block for cultivators in the first place. ”

Hearing her brother's explanation, Zhou Lian nodded slightly, but she still didn't seem to understand what Xiuzhen meant.

"Then my brother asked me to choose whatever I wanted. But I heard that the Ice Phoenix Palace is overseas, if I go with Sister Ruolan, where will I see my brother often in the future?"

Zhou Lian was a little worried, for fear that she would not be able to come back all year round in the future.

Qi Luyu was even more afraid that this question would affect Lan Ruolan's thoughts, so he hurriedly explained:

"Little sister, don't worry, it's all fine. You are not nominally a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Palace, so you can naturally leave the Ice Phoenix Palace at any time. We have our own steamer that plies between the continents every month, and you can come back whenever you feel homesick. ”

Being able to go home at any time, Zhou Lian dispelled her last worries and turned her head to look at Lan Ruolan.

Lan Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.

In the future, with Sister Zhou Lian as a companion on weekdays, it is not lonely to go to Bingfeng Palace.

Lan Ruolan actually didn't want to leave Penglai City, because she didn't want to be separated from Zhou Xuan for too long. But she knew very well in her heart that if she cared about this short chance to get along, she would be able to see Zhou Xuan less often in the future.

Zhou Xu's strength improved rapidly, and Lan Ruolan knew that it was difficult for her to match it.

If he continued to stay in Penglai City, and one day Zhou Xu's cultivation reached the realm of life and death, the realm of human immortals, and even the realm of earth immortals, Lan Ruolan asked herself what qualifications she was worthy of him?

"Okay! In that case, Sister Zhou Lian and I can go back to the Ice Phoenix Palace with you tomorrow. ”

Lan Ruolan's eyes were firm, and she replied to Yue Lingchun and Qi Luyu.

The two women immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction, and the big stone hanging in their hearts could be regarded as landing.

As long as Lan Ruolan is willing to go back to the Ice Phoenix Palace with them, everything is easy to discuss.
