At dinner, the swordsman and Sun Li came to the main hall as promised.

In the main hall, except for the master Li Wufeng, the other nine senior brothers have all arrived.

"Little junior brother, I haven't seen you for so long, what are you doing hiding in the small courtyard?"

After seeing the swordsman, Li Liang was very enthusiastic.

For more than half a month before, the master would go to the courtyard of the swordsman once a day without stopping, and he saw all this in his eyes. He has been on the mountain for so long, and he has never seen a master so attentive to any apprentice. So he was even more intentional about trying to win over the swordsman.

"I've seen you brothers. Senior Brother laughed, Junior Brother and Senior Brother Sun are still in the lockdown period. What else can you do besides hiding in the house and cultivating? ”

The swordsman first said hello to a few senior brothers, and then replied to Li Liang.

"Haha, the master loves the little junior brother so much, and the grounding is just a verbal talk, why should the little junior brother take it so seriously. Moreover, the master only forbade the two junior brothers to go down to the Divine Soldier Peak, and the junior brothers could usually come out to exchange their cultivation experience with the senior brothers. ”

Li Liang said while pulling the swordsman and Sun Li to sit down.

"The senior brother taught the lesson, but since the master has already given the order, the junior brother still implements it seriously. ”

The swordsman and Sun Li sat at the farthest point from the main seat.

"Hehe, little junior brother, you are just too serious. But it's not a few days away. When the time comes, the junior brother must ask the junior brothers for advice more, which will be very helpful to the junior brother's cultivation. ”

Seventh Senior Brother Li Yong took over the conversation.

"Hmm. Thank you, Senior Brother Seven, for your suggestion. ”

The swordsman nodded, not saying much.

Several senior brothers also came over to express their goodwill to the swordsman, no one is a fool, and now everyone can see that the master really attaches great importance to this young junior brother who suddenly appeared, so they all put down the senior brother's shelf and took the initiative to talk to the swordsman.

Only the ninth senior brother Bian Tong sat in the distance, looking a little lonely and unsociable. Although Li Wufeng didn't say it explicitly, Bian Tong could clearly feel the master's dissatisfaction with him during this time.

It's been so long, Bian Tong has calmed down a lot, he knows that his past behavior is a little irrational, just let him put down his head and take the initiative to apologize to the swordsman and Sun Li, but he can't pull down his face. So he could only sit in his place and look at the other brothers in awkwardness.

"Little junior brother, after being in retreat for so long, your cultivation must have improved again, right?"

Li Liang asked suddenly.

Hearing this, everyone's ears suddenly pricked up. They were also very curious, and they were all very angry about the progress of this little junior brother's cultivation. How had they ever heard of someone soaring from the peak of the day after tomorrow to the middle of the Qi refining period in less than two days?

"How can it be so fast, does Senior Brother treat me as a monster? But I just broke through to the late stage of the Qi Refining Period. ”

The swordsman originally wanted to deny it, but as soon as he was halfway through speaking, he suddenly received a transmission from Li Wufeng, and then picked up the latter sentence.

"In the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, it's okay? Little junior brother, you are really... Alas. Senior brother is really too old to live to a dog by you like this. ”

Li Liang shook his head and said with a wry smile.

The others also looked at the swordsman with their mouths wide open and speechless. Look at other people, how long has it been since you cultivated from the peak of the day after tomorrow to the late stage of the Qi refining period, and you are still not satisfied like this?

Sun Li looked at the surprised crowd with disdain on the side, and said in his heart If I let you know that the junior brother has actually reached the peak of the Qi refining period, I won't scare you to death? It's just that with the master's advice, Sun Li didn't dare to tell the news. But he was also wondering in his heart why the junior brother suddenly changed his words and said about the late stage of the Qi refining period?

How did he know that the swordsman was secretly complaining in his heart now, and just at the stall where he flatly denied it, the master suddenly sent a voice to tell him to tell him about his cultivation in the late stage of the Qi refining period. Although Li Wufeng didn't say anything more, the swordsman suddenly understood the reason for tonight's dinner.

"The master asked me to tell everyone that when I had dinner tonight, I was guessing which junior brother broke through again, and several junior brothers denied it, so I guessed that it must be Senior Brother Sun and Little Junior Brother that one of them broke through, so I asked this question, but I didn't expect it, Little Junior Brother, you really gave Brother Wei a big surprise. ”

Li Liang looked at the swordsman with complicated eyes.

Originally, he just felt that the master valued the swordsman very much, and wanted to draw the swordsman into his camp as a help for him to compete for the master of the Divine Soldier Peak in the future. But seeing the swordsman's more and more perverted improvement cultivation speed, he used to be a little vigilant in his heart, according to the swordsman's improvement speed, I'm afraid he will also become his competitor at that time, right?

However, during this period of time, the swordsman has been hiding in his hut all day long to practice, and he does not go out to have a good relationship with his senior brothers, which makes Li Liang feel that the swordsman does not seem to value the position of this peak master very much.

So now Li Liang's attitude towards the swordsman is a contradiction that wants to win over and is a little vigilant.

Li Liang secretly glanced at the seventh junior brother Li Yong. Li Yong immediately understood and nodded.

"With the cultivation speed of the junior brother, I'm afraid it won't be long before the position of the number one master of our Divine Soldier Peak will change hands. When the time comes, after the master retires, the little junior brother will have to take more care of the senior brothers. ”

Li Yong said as if jokingly.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people on the scene changed. Anyone can hear the meaning of Li Yong's words. There are several people present whose cultivation is about the same, who has no idea about the position of the peak master?

The swordsman glanced at the seventh senior brother Li Yong deeply, he didn't know if Li Yong was joking or deliberately saying this, but there was no doubt that his words had baked the swordsman on the fire. If others listen to his words in their hearts, they will definitely have a suspicion of the swordsman.

The seventh senior brother laughed at the younger brother again. Even if the master retires in the future, when it comes to the seniority of the age wheel, where will it be the younger brother's turn to call the shots? The seventh senior brother should not exalt the younger brother too much, and the younger brother will have to beg for a living by the side of the senior brothers in the future. ”

The swordsman said lightly.

It's not that he's afraid of being isolated, he just doesn't want to be used as a gunman. Although he didn't see the scene where Li Liang gave Li Yong a look, he also had a faint guess in his heart that Li Yong should have been pushed out by someone to test himself or point the finger at him.

The swordsman glanced at Senior Brother Li Liang and Ninth Senior Brother Bian Tong in the distance without a trace, and then had a rough answer in his heart. [.]
