After the incident on Confucius Street, Ning Du's life returned to peace, but Ning Du always felt that there was a strangeness in this calm, but he couldn't say it and couldn't find it, so he had to live as usual.

The trees in the green vine garden are sparse like the hair of an old man, and the original lush green vines have also faded their color and obscuration, leaving only dry stems.

The content in the classroom is changing with each passing day, but the students' minds are stagnant. The same is true for the students of Omeen, after all, the cultivation is more difficult and obscure than any other discipline.

"Why did you want to practice in the first place? Alas, I really regret not being able to do it in the first place!"

"I didn't want to come to Plum Garden at all, but I was assigned here. Originally, I was complacent, thinking that I could practice, but now it seems that it is not suitable at all. ”

"I was in the same school as me, but I was hit in the autumn two days ago, and now I have been placed in Tiandu Mansion as an errand. ”

"This far-away path of cultivation, I don't know if I can sneak into the Royal Dragon Academy or Jixiang Academy in the future, no matter how bad it is, I can be separated from one province and one government as an errand boy. ”

"But don't join the army, when the time comes, you will be sent to the frontier, but your life will be in danger. It's not easy to practice, but don't die all at once. ”

“......”

Unlike the new students, the old students who have been here for more than three years have stopped moving forward and can't help but worry about their future.

In the final analysis, a practitioner still can't get out of the realm of human beings, and he has to eat after all.

Fortunately, the sun was shining at this time, and there was still a lot of time wasted on planning for the future. In the future, when they go out of the gate of Qingteng Garden, they will no longer have such a chance.

"Is Ning Du here? Here's a letter from you. ”

As everyone was getting ready to leave school, a janitor outside the lecture hall shouted.

Ning Du walked out of the lecture hall under the gaze of everyone, took the letter, looked at the blank envelope, and showed a thoughtful look. He could clearly sense the fluctuations in the vitality hidden in the letter, but he finally decided to open it.

Laugh at!

A blinding light erupted from the letter!

Ning Du performed the "condensation" of the six styles of Zen Buddhism in advance, but he still couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Poof!

Ning Du took three steps back, and the school uniform on his body was cut several times.

The students in the lecture hall immediately looked out and were dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

"It's sword qi? How can it be such a strong sword qi? Is this from Ning Du? Why is he showing such a sword qi when he has nothing to do?"

"No, it seems to be the sword qi revealed by that letter! The sword qi in that letter almost hurt Ning Du!"

Chen Nanping also turned his head to look out, his eyes slightly condensed. She was very sure that this was not Ning Du's sword qi, and it could only be someone else's sword qi attached to the letter. And the strength of this sword qi is far stronger than Ning Du.

"What kind of person's sword qi will be so strong, the four realms or the five realms?"

Attaching the sword qi to a piece of paper, after such a long time, there is still such power, the realm of the letter writer can be imagined.

Ning Du narrowed his eyes and looked at the contents of the letter.

"Winter Moon Thirteen, Fangyuan City, Sword Seven. ”

The writing on the letter was crooked, as if he was a beginner who had just written, but every stroke and stroke was like a sword piercing the sky, and Ning Du's eyes hurt when he saw it, forcing him to temporarily look away.

The letter suddenly shook and split into countless pieces in an instant, leaving only the handwriting floating in the air, and after holding a few breaths, the line shattered.

The pen and ink are not enough to withstand the sword qi remaining on it, and it is reasonable to shatter.

Ning Du looked at the falling shredded paper, stood for a moment, and then disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be a challenge book? Recently, there have been many people who have challenged Ning Du. ”

"Eighty percent of the time. This kind of challenge is only known to Ning Du and his opponent, and when the time comes, they will also understand the victory or defeat, which is much better than fighting in front of the public!"

"During this period of time, Ning Du doesn't seem to have lost yet. But looking at the appearance of that sword qi, the other party should be a very powerful person!"

"If you use the realm to suppress people, it won't be interesting, if you win in the same realm, Ning Du will be powerful!"

"What do you want in the same realm? If you are in the same realm, can Ning Du lose?" Since the end of the Qingyun test, some students of Qingteng Garden have become loyal fans of Ning Du, and Ning Du has become an undefeated legend in their eyes.

"Did you read that line just now? It seems to say Fang Yuan City?"

"I saw two words - Sword Seven. ”

"Is it a name? How come you've never heard of this person?"

“......”

After the strange letter arrived at Qingteng Garden, it caused a lot of speculation, and the reason was that the sword qi emitted from the letter was too strong, and it could even hurt Ning Du, who had already taken precautions, and the owner of the letter also caused a lot of reverie.

"Who is Sword Seven?"

No one had ever heard of this name, and some good people went to the Jixiang Yuan to inquire, but they still found nothing. I don't know who it came from, and the news of Jian Qi's challenge to Ning Du quickly spread in the sky. Of course, this is also limited to young practitioners.

"Do you know Sword Seven?" Iron Lianhua sat down on the sixth floor of the Hundred Refining Pagoda breathlessly and asked Jiang Bairen.

"I don't know. Jiang Bairen still has an indifferent attitude towards everything.

"Two days ago, a man named Jian Qi gave Ning Du a challenge letter. ”

"What's so strange about this?" Jiang Bairen raised his eyebrows, obviously unwilling to listen to such trivial matters, as if it disturbed him.

"I heard that the sword qi hidden in the challenge book hurt Ning Du. Tie Lianhua said seriously, he honestly chose to believe any rumors.

"Sword Seven?" Jiang Bairen knew how strong Ning Du's sword was, if Ning Du was really injured by the sword qi hidden in a letter, then the other party was absolutely outrageously strong.

A powerhouse of the Four Realms or the Five Realms would never dare to rely on his own realm to bully Ning Du, let alone send such a letter to the Qingteng Garden, where there was Shang Chonggu, who was the strongest in the way of the sword, and such an act was undoubtedly looking for death. There is only one explanation for this - the other party is the same age as Ning Du, or even the same realm.

"Maybe it's really a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Iron Lianhua said this, and also wanted to meet those powerful peers. After three months of penance, he also wanted to test how much progress he had made.

Ning Du's achievements in the past three months, Jiang Bairen has also heard of it, and he is sure that the other party will definitely not stop moving, and it will definitely be stronger than three months ago.

"How strong are you now?"

Tie Lianhua suddenly thought of an idea, and said excitedly: "Why don't we go to Qingteng Garden to see him?"

"No need. ”

Tie Lianhua glanced at Jiang Bairen, thought for a long time, and gave up his thoughts. Now Ning Du is busy enough just to deal with the challenger, and he doesn't need to make trouble for Ning Du anymore.

"If I have time, I'll also go see your duel with Kenqi!"

......

Ning Du returned home and sat quietly in the courtyard. At this time, it was already half dark, and it was completely cold, and his limbs were cold after sitting outside the house for a long time, but he didn't seem to notice it at all.

"Young master, why did you come back so early today?" It happened that Bian Shihan had something to do today, so Hu Ran slipped back early. "Hey, young master, why did your school uniform break so many openings, and you are fighting with people again?"

"Nothing. Ning Du replied absentmindedly.

"What's the matter, young master?"

Ning Du turned his head to look at Hu Ran and said, "I saw a sword today. ”

"See you. ”

"This sword is stronger than me. "In all fairness, Ning Du didn't think that one of his sword qi could be so strong.

"If it's strong, it's strong. ”

Ning Du smiled angrily and said, "What if you eat better than you, and you can't eat it?"

"What else can I do, dry staring! I used to stare every day, what else can I do but dry my eyes. Hu Ran said indifferently, she obviously didn't understand what Ning Du was worried about.

Jian Qi's invitation to fight, to go or not to go?

From this sword qi alone, Ning Du will definitely not be able to win against the other party, and he will definitely lose if he goes.

And this may be a trap.

Out of the heavenly capital, no matter how strong Shang Chonggu was, it was impossible for him to shelter Ning Du. If this is a trap, Ning Du will most likely not be able to escape.

"It's a dry stare now. Of course, Ning Du could choose not to go, but he couldn't deny the desire in his heart to see the other party, and he had the urge to defeat the other party.

If it had been placed before, Ning Du would definitely choose to go without hesitation, but now he has too many burdens. Unconsciously, Ning Du's state of mind has also changed too much.

"What are you going to eat tonight, young master?"

Ning Du pondered for a moment, remembered what Hu Ran had just said, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Young Master, are you stupid?" Hu Ran felt that Ning Du had been very strange recently, and it seemed to be a little different from before.

Ning Du was stunned, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "I'm indeed a little stupid. ”

——

Dongjin Palace holds many secrets, and most of these secrets are sealed in the form of dossiers in the "high cabinet" of Dongjin Palace. The defense here is no less than that of a prison, and no one has ever stolen anything from here.

In a dusty secret room in the high pavilion, there was a dossier with "Sword Seven" written on it, which was dusted off at this time and slowly unfolded.

"Sword Seven, the year of birth is unknown, the teacher is unknown, and he was born at the peak of the Five Realms. He was born in the fourth year of Qing'an, defeated the seven masters of the Sword Pavilion in a row, and challenged Shang Chonggu in Taohuaya. There was no trace of it, and no one was seen again......"

Chu Anliang looked at the file and said, "It shouldn't be the Jian Qi back then, maybe it's the apprentice of Jian Qi." Fangyuan City, the thirteenth day of the winter month. Why does it always feel like it's not just a small thing? Am I being too careful?"
