Zhiyun maintained her usual pure and arrogant spirit, and she did not put Su Ning in her eyes. And Yinru, who had a holiday with Su Ning, swept over her with disdainful eyes. Yinru saw that Su Ning's skin was delicate and tender, her face was ruddy, and she was dressed so brightly and beautifully, which was very different from ordinary maids, and guessed that she must have been specially favored by Qianyi.

Her heart was full of jealousy, and Yinru thought that Su Ning must be dressed and fed by Qianyi's side, and she was at ease, how could it be like the ascetic life they lived? Although she had studied the Tao for many years, she still couldn't get rid of the worldly spirit, and her jealousy was especially heavy.

Yinru spied on Su Ning's aura with her discernment technique, and saw that she was still a first-class spiritual power, which made her feel a little relieved.

No matter how favored she is, she is just a maid who serves tea and pours water for people, and she has also occupied the quota of a beginner disciple, which is really shameless!

After the disciples arrived, Yuyangzi and Yuqingzi also came out after a long time, and everyone in the hall greeted the two of them to sit down, and then they sat down one after another. The junior disciples were not qualified enough, so they could only stand respectfully behind the big disciples.

Xiahou Yi stood behind Qianhui and happened to stand next to Su Ning. He sniffed the fragrant Su Hexiang wafting from Su Ning's body, and felt that his heart was relaxed, and even the roots of his ears were more and more red.

Su Ning didn't notice his abnormality, she was listening attentively, and the two masters and the big disciples were discussing the matter of the big competition.

It turned out that these twenty people were the most popular candidates among the beginner disciples. After the competition, the top 14 can choose to follow the seven big disciples to practice, and the main purpose of this meeting is to ask the disciples about their intentions and see who they most want to worship. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of piling up to apprentice or some masters being ignored,

And the little apprentices had a tacit understanding before they came here, the so-called good horse must be matched with a good saddle, and the strong person must naturally choose the one with high spiritual power as the teacher, and the apprentice and the master's aura attributes must also match.

It just so happens that the seven masters have five kinds of aura, and the highest cultivation is the high-level fifth-rank Qianyi, followed by the high-level fourth-rank Qianfan, Qianyan and Yuqingzi's apprentice Qianmei.

So, the disciple of the Ji Si level naturally wanted to worship Qian Yi as a teacher, and when a disciple of the Ji Si level wood expressed his reverence for Qian Yi, Qian Yi poured a bucket of cold water on his head:

"Whether or not to accept the apprenticeship depends on the situation. ”

Qian Yi has always been perverse and withdrawn, because he has a high cultivation, he can almost be on par with Yuyangzi and Yuqingzi in the faction, so the two masters have to let him three colors.

Seeing that the disciple was embarrassed, Yuyangzi said in a round: "Indeed, the matter of apprenticeship is very important, and it is not easy to make a conclusion at the moment, it should indeed depend on the result of the competition." ”

At this time, Qianhui said: "Master, the disciple has a suggestion for apprenticeship. ”

"You say. Yuyangzi gestured.

Qianhui arched his hand and said eloquently: "The disciple thinks that the order of selecting teachers can be decided according to the ranking of the competition, if which junior brother and sister are temporarily unwilling to accept apprentices, they can not attend the apprenticeship meeting, and each junior brother and sister who attends the grand event will only accept two apprentices at most, such an arrangement, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone has no objection, the rules for choosing a master are established, and in previous years, which apprentice worshipped which master was predetermined, and this year can be regarded as an innovation.

At this time, Qian Fan came up with a sentence: "Uncle Master, is this competition open to all disciples?"

Yuyangzi said: "This is natural. ”

Qian Fan immediately looked at Su Ning behind him, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Then Su Ning can also participate, right?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that a cold wind was blowing, except for Qianyi and Qianfan, the rest of the people were all stagnant. Dozens of eyes converged on Su Ning, making her embarrassed, so she had to hang her head.

A sneer sounded among the disciples in the back row, but it was Yinru who made it. As a disciple, such behavior was unceasing, and Yuyangzi threw a warning at her, and she hurriedly put away her sarcastic look.

Yu Yangzi said calmly: "Of course, Su Ning is also one of the disciples, and he is qualified to participate in the competition. ”

Qian Fan said with a smile: "That's fine." ”

The protection in Qianfan's words was obvious, and everyone could hear that his feelings for Su Ning were unusual.

Then some specific matters were discussed, and the people dispersed. Yu Yangzi and Yu Qingzi left first surrounded by the seven big disciples, and the junior disciples were behind, among which Su Ning and Xiahou Yi were at the back.

Xiahou Yi took the opportunity to greet Su Ning, and he asked with concern:

"Senior sister, how are you doing here?"

Su Ning said: "Thank you senior brother for your concern, I am doing well, and my son and aunt have taken good care of me." ”

"That's fine......" Xiahou Yi said sincerely.

Su Ning didn't forget to encourage him: "Senior brother, you also have to take care of your body, I hope you can achieve good results in the competition." ”

"Inherit the noble words of my sister. Xia Houyi's face showed shyness again.

The two were talking happily, unaware that there was a pair of ulterior eyes watching them behind them—

Qiu'er was hidden in the pile of maids, she looked at Xiahou Yi and Su Ning in front of her, and a sinister light flashed in her eyes.

When everyone dispersed, Su Ning followed Qianfan and Qianyi to the courtyard, she took off the hairpin from her bun and presented it to Qianfan with both hands.

"Thank you, Childe. ”

Qian Fan waved his hand: "You don't have to give it back to me, you can keep it, maybe it will come in handy one day." ”

Time came to a month ago -

Qianfan asked Su Ning with a little bad eyes:

"Do you want to scare them out of the way they looked down on you before?"

Su Ning was puzzled: "Surprised?"

Qian Yi also looked at him with inexplicable eyes, Qian Fan grinned evilly, and said:

"Your cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, Senior Brother Qianhui, they still don't know about it, especially those disciples who once bullied you and looked down on you, don't you want to give them a big ear scraper and surprise them?"

This sounds quite relieving, but Su Ning is magnanimous and never cares about past gains and losses. She shook her head and said, "It doesn't have to be......"

"What? Don't you want to let out a bad breath?" Qian Fan said: "Don't let them know your current cultivation first, wait until the day of the official martial arts competition, and show the real material, and make sure that the jaws of those who look down on you will drop to the ground." ”

At this time, Qian Yi also spoke: "I think it is really necessary to hide your current strength. ”

Su Ning didn't expect that even Qianyi would think like this, Qianyi saw that her face was full of confusion, so she said: "Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, exposing your strength too early in front of the opponent will cause the opponent to take precautions too early, and properly hiding your strength will also be of great benefit to your victory in the future." ”

Qian Fan also echoed: "That's right, don't let them see your spiritual power when you attend the gathering with us next month, and when you wait until the day of the official martial arts competition, you will definitely be able to surprise the four and make a splash!"

Although they were reasonable, Su Ning still hesitated: "But this is ...... Isn't it a lie......"

Qian Yi only said four words: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”

Su Ning was completely convinced this time, she no longer hesitated, so she asked again: "Childe, how can I hide my spiritual power?"

Qianfan said: "What's so difficult about this......?

He said to "San Lang": "San Lang, bring the 'Wen Decoration Iron'." ”

San Lang's mirror soon rippled, and a black iron of its unsightly appearance gradually emerged in the mirror, which was about half a foot long, a finger wide, and black all over.

Qian Fan picked up the black iron, and he asked Su Ning easily and normally:

"Do you want a hairpin or a hairpin?"

Su Ning was puzzled, so he said, "You can ...... it."

"Then I'll make you a hairpin...... Qianfan muttered to himself, a faint light glowing from his white palm, and the black iron was wrapped in light, and then turned into a bright rod of light all over.

Su Ning watched in amazement, the treasure called Wen Decoration Iron, as if it had been deformed by heat, had changed from a smooth shape to an ornament with various patterns and patterns. After the light dissipated, a delicate gilt silver peony and bird hairpin appeared in Qian Fan's hand.

Su Ning was not surprised to see it, now she has seen the same amazing baby again.

However, this ornamental iron does not only change its appearance, it also has more important uses.

Qian Fan explained to her: "This is called Wen Decoration Iron, it is the Demon Realm Divine Iron, wearing it on your head, it can cover your aura according to your wishes, and have the effect of hiding your strength and confusing the enemy." ”

Qianfan took the hairpin to put it on for her, in ancient times, when men and women went on a blind date, the man inserted the hairpin into the woman's bun called "insertion", which is the meaning of marriage. Su Ning was not so stunned that she didn't even understand such secular rules, she was too busy to take it and put it in her hair bun by herself.

Qian Yi saw that she was in a hurry to distinguish the line with Qian Fan, and the corners of his mouth contained a smug smile.

After Su Ning put on the hairpin, Qianfan said:

"You think in your heart what you want to be. ”

Su Ning thought to herself, I want a first-class aura. Qian Yi and Qian Fan spied on her aura with their identification skills, and really saw that her aura weakened from the fifth rank of the first level to the first level of the first level.

Qian Fan clapped his hands and said, "Okay! On the day of the meeting, you will use this kind of aura to appear in front of them, ensuring that none of them can see through it!"

So, back to the present -

Su Ning heard that Qianfan was going to give herself a gift again, but she felt disrespectful and ashamed. She shook her head and said softly:

"Childe, you have already helped me a lot, and the slave and maid can't accept your ......"

"I helped you, didn't you help me too? If you don't want to go, you can come to my palace more often in the future. Qianfan said bluntly.

"But, slave maid ......" Su Ning looked at Qianyi with an indifferent face in embarrassment, and now Qianyi took her out in three days and two ends to plant weeds in the mountains or treat diseased plants, she was afraid that she would not be able to spare it to help Qianfan.
