(The book of the early update has a ticket to eat, what about the ticket?)

"Senior brother, I heard that there was a disciple of the Sword Mansion named 'Liang Qiufeng' who caught your knife, and you still said in public that you wanted to dig him up and come to our Tiandu Gate to be an inner disciple. ”

Lonely Mountain City, in a mansion to the north.

Kuaidao Pan Dongliu was sitting opposite a young man with a Chinese character face, talking.

Pan Dongliu nodded: "Yes, this person only has the fourth stage of strength, but he has cultivated into a sword step and caught my sword with skill." It's just strange, I haven't heard of this person in Zhongnan Mountain before. ”

The young man with the national character face said: "I have investigated, and he only entered Zhongnan Mountain this year as an outer disciple. It is said that he is very favored by Xiao Jihai, and he has repeatedly obtained cheats to cultivate. Also, when he entered the Sword Mansion, it was only a little strong. ”

"Hey, in more than half a year, from the first stage to the fourth stage, the progress is not bad, and there is really potential. It's a pity that I'm getting older. ”

Liang Qiufeng is nineteen years old this year, and he has nothing to do with "old", but the "old" in Fandongliu's mouth refers to the age stage of his martial arts career.

From this definition, the nineteen-year-old Jindao Fourth Section is indeed old.

The young man with the national character face said: "The suspect is old, and he is digging people again?"

Pan Dongliu laughed: "I'll just say it casually, I can still scare the end of the Nanjian Mansion, why not? Besides, if Liang Qiufeng is really willing to come, I will naturally accept it." The person who can catch my knife is qualified to be an inner disciple. ”

The young man with a national character face groaned: "However, Liang Qiufeng is favored by Xiao Jihai, and it is not easy to dig him up." ”

"If you don't come, you won't come, it doesn't matter. ”

Pan Dongliu didn't care with a face.

In his mind, Liang Qiufeng just barely caught his own knife, and he was still far from the level that needed to be paid attention to.

But the young man with the face of the national character didn't think so: "I thought, whether to make a move, let him disappear." ”

"Senior brother, this is the biggest difference between me and you, in my opinion, defeating a person is far more interesting than killing a person." ”

The young man with the face of the national character exhaled: "But in my opinion, only those who die will not have room to grow." ”

"You mean, if you let Liang Qiufeng grow up, it will threaten us?"

"Is it impossible?"

Pan Dongliu thought for a moment: "Maybe there is." But on Zhongnan Mountain, Luo Gang and a few of them are not more threatening...... I mean, at this stage, what's the point of taking pains to kill a little bit? After next year's Wasteland Sect Competition, the destruction of the Zhongnan Sword Mansion is a foregone conclusion. ”

The young man with the national character face was silent, and said for a moment: "Then forget it, the current situation is delicate, and there are too many things to pay attention to when you take care of the whole body, and you can't be busy." I said, junior brother, can't you help out with something?"

Pan Dongliu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "Hehe, I only help with fights." It's been a long time since I had an opponent, and life is really lonely. ”

The young man with the national character face was speechless, but he also knew the temperament of this junior brother, crazy and bottom-notch, competitive but not impatient, so he didn't say more.

……

Three days later, early in the morning.

Liang Qiufeng, who was carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs, rode a black horse, quietly left the city, and embarked on the journey back to the Sword Mansion.

After running half a mile, I looked back and hoped in my heart that when I came again next time, the status of the Sword Mansion would soar, and as a disciple of the Sword Mansion, I could walk on the streets of Lonely Mountain City with my chest held high.

But this qiē must be fought for.

-- Face is never given by others, but earned by oneself.

There was nothing to do all the way, it was very safe, and Shun Shun lì Li returned to Zhongnan Mountain. This made Liang Qiufeng let go of his hanging heart and deliver the task as soon as possible.

When I was leading to the mission station, I met many senior brothers on the way, and their eyes were a little strange. His eyes fell on Liang Qiufeng, and then whispered.

Well?

Didn't I wash my face?

Liang Qiufeng touched his face, but there was nothing unusual.

"Hey, Senior Brother Liang, you're back, it's good. ”

The old man sitting in the mission station was flushed with excitement.

Liang Qiufeng was a little puzzled: Did the other party go too far?

"Haha, the number of herbs is clear, and the score is exactly the same. I said, Senior Brother Liang, I really didn't expect you to go on a mission, and you would become a hero of the Sword Mansion. ”

The old man has a lot to say today.

Liang Qiufeng was stunned: "What? What heroes?"

The old man looked at him strangely: "It's you who blocked the quick knife and broke the siege of the Sword Mansion Post House." Yesterday, the inn sent a letter, and the owner of the house was very happy, and specially issued an announcement to reward you. No, it's posted at the top of the most conspicuous information column in the foreign government!"

I see.

Liang Qiufeng understood.

The post house uses specially bred carrier pigeons, which are naturally much faster than horses. Besides, I still sent the letter back a day earlier.

He didn't expect the mansion master to publicize this matter with great fanfare, probably to boost the morale of his disciples, so he wanted to erect a model.

"By the way, Senior Brother Liang, Elder Xiao has an order, saying that after you return to the mountain to complete the task, go to his house and have something to say to you. ”

The old man said.

"Okay, thank you. ”

Liang Qiufeng groaned slightly, entered the inner mansion, and looked for Xiao Jihai.

Xiao Jihai is in the study, holding a book and reading:

"Qiu Feng, you know about the Sword Mansion praising you for rewarding you. ”

"Got it. ”

Xiao Jihai suddenly sighed softly: "I don't agree with this." Because it is not a good thing to hold a person too high too early or exaggerated. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that at present, the Sword Mansion is in internal and external difficulties, and there are many disadvantages, and everyone's morale and fighting spirit have been deeply affected. That's why the lord of the mansion decided to push you out, hoping to save some of the decline. I never thought that the response was not bad, and you became a hero because of it. ”

"Where is there such an exaggeration? I just can't bear it, so I just have to fight it, that's all. ”

Liang Qiufeng's appearance is very calm, and he has the demeanor of a general who is not shocked.

Xiao Jihai looked at it and was very satisfied: "No matter what, you spelled it out." Therefore, the Sword Mansion has decided to reward you with a chance to become an inner disciple. ”

"The chance to become an inner disciple?"

Liang Qiufeng was greatly moved.

Xiao Jihai looked at him strangely: "You don't know this news?"

Liang Qiufeng touched his head: "This, I really don't know." ”

The old man congratulated him before, but Gen didn't mention it, and he hurried to see Elder Xiao, and he didn't have time to read the announcement.

Xiao Jihai was speechless and coughed dryly: "Then now I know, can I be happy?"

"Happy!"

The answer was loud and exciting.

There are regulations that to advance the inner disciples, they must have more than five stages of strength, and there must be a three-year assessment period. And Liang Qiufeng is only in the fourth stage now, and he has joined the Sword Mansion for less than a year.

Xiao Jihai had a blank face: "Happy is happy, never be complacent, the road you want to take in the future is still far away." Besides, this is just an opportunity, whether you can seize it depends on your performance. ”

"Understood, I'll try. ”

Liang Qiu Feng was calm.

Xiao Jihai said: "For the specific situation, you go back and read the announcement." While there is still time, practice more and get ready. The assessment is not child's play, and it is not easy. In addition to you, there are other qualified disciples, and the success or failure of the competition depends on the table. ”

"Thank you, Elder, for the reminder. ”

Liang Qiufeng's heart sank, and he said goodbye and left.

As soon as he walked to the door, Xiao Jihai's faint voice came from behind: "Liang Qiufeng, you can block Pan Dongliu's knife, it's really surprising, well done." ”

This is a heartfelt compliment.

A wisp of warmth blooms in my heart.
