Shangguan Miao, who originally came to discuss the overthrow of Yuan Che and the Feng family, had no intention of leaving, and after deciding to invest in Xue Yuan's Ming Province Valley, he had no reason to leave.

After Wen Ning took Guan Miao out of the council hall and took her to find her favorite place in the valley, only Xue Yuan, Xiao Luo, and Ling Xia were left in the council hall.

Before Shangguan Miao left, she turned her head at the door and glanced at Ling Xia again, but she didn't notice that Wen Ning, the young man who led her out, had a slightly different reaction.

"Ling Xia, I haven't thanked you yet. ”

Hearing Xue Yuan's words, Ling Xia raised her head and glanced at Xiao Luo on the side, and then turned to Xue Yuan: "You're welcome, whether it's as an apology for delaying you for two months before, or as a thank you for finding a way for Ah Ye to recuperate, it's what I should do to find Shangguan Miao for you." ”

Even with this kind of soft words, Ling Xia's face was still very cold.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Xue Yun also knew a little bit about Ling Xia's temperament, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

In any case, she remembered this gratitude in her heart.

Fang Ye ...... How is he now?"

When it came to Fang Ye, Ling Xia's face, which had been so cold that it was a little cold, seemed to melt a little at once, her eyes softened a little, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, with a faint smile:

"Ah Ye is very good, he was temporarily out of the customs before, and he also interrogated me once. He...... The retreat there really had some effect, and now the injuries in his meridians have been repaired a little, and the destroyed spiritual roots have also been slightly sensitive. According to his estimates, at least three to five years should be able to recover. ”

Xue Yun also laughed: "That's really good news." ”

"Yes. Ling Xia nodded, looked at Xue Yuan, stood up after a moment of silence, and bowed to Xue Yuan.

"Alas!" Xue Yu hurriedly helped Ling Xia up: "Didn't you just pay it back, did you help me find Shangguan just to thank you?" ”

Ling Xia shook her head: "It's not for this. ”

"That ......"

"You're right, but really?"

“...... Nature. ”

"From now on, the Ming Provincial Valley will gather rootless and scattered cultivation and shelter the scattered and weak. ”

"Yes. ”

"Not only in Miaozhou, but in Kyushu?"

"Yes. ”

Ling Xia lowered her eyes, hesitated slightly, and continued: "It is located in the south of Kyushu, and Nayan Prefecture and Miao Prefecture are adjacent to each other. ”

Xue Yun was slightly stunned and looked at Ling Xia waiting for the following.

"I ...... Not as ambitious as you are. Ling Xia's voice was low, and her tone, which had always been a bit stiff, was as smooth as possible at this time: "I just want to have a stable life with Ah Ye." You don't have to be very high in cultivation for achievement, you don't have to have a lot of money to be rich, it's just ...... I want to live peacefully in this world. But it's up to me...... I can't save the two of us, let alone ...... The Fang family has been guarding it for generations. I thought I would be able to get refuge after worshipping the Yin Sect, but ......"

Xue Yun listened silently, and also thought of her first acquaintance with Ling Xia.

Outside Huocheng, Naught Prefecture, she was squeezed out and intercepted by her fellow disciples and brothers.

"You're different, Xue Yuan. You are being ...... The chosen person, Ah Ye got up when he was in Naughty, and it is unlimited in the future. I believe in Ah Ye's vision, but I didn't know that you had this kind of heart at that time. Now...... I don't know if I can ask you to ...... Ah Ye He can also be under his wings and protect him from safety. The place guarded by the Fang family is very important, and now there is only Ah Ye alone, I am afraid that if something happens in the future, he will be alone...... If you can't deal with it, you can't resist it, and even if you abandon it, you may not be able to escape. ”

"You're too, I'm chosen. In the matter of Jiujing, each family should have watched and helped each other. Besides, Fang Ye has solved a lot of doubts for me in Naughty Prefecture, no matter what I need in the future, I am duty-bound. ”

Ling Xia was slightly stunned when she heard Xue Yun simply say the word "Jiujing", and her first reaction was to look at Xiao Luo, who did not interject on the side.

"Xiao Luo is to me, just like you and Fang Ye. ”

Ling Xia listened to Xue Yuan's words, nodded her head, and didn't think about it anymore.

I understood it very quickly.

"The big array outside the valley has been prepared to be changed and reset in the past few days. Xiao Luo opened his mouth for the first sentence in this meeting hall, in addition to introducing himself: "If Ling Daoyou is not in a hurry to leave without anything, it is better to stay for a few days, and after the completion of the Great Array of Protecting the Valley, he will take the refined Jade Talisman and leave." ”

Ling Xia was slightly stunned, and understood that Xiao Luo agreed with Xue Yuan's meaning, and wanted to treat Fang Ye, who was far away in Naxiazhou, as a member of the Ming Province Valley, so that he could come to the Ming Province Valley to take refuge if he encountered an accident.

After all, it was established at the beginning of the year, and the strength of Ming Shenggu is not enough to see now, and it can only make such a promise for the time being.

Still, that's enough.

Ling Xia thanked her.

"If Ling Daoyou is interested, Ming Shenggu is also very welcome. ”

When Xiao Luo's words came out, Xue Yun and Ling Xia were both stunned.

It's just that after this stunned, Ling Xia lowered her eyes and pursed her lips and fell silent.

Xue Yun glanced at Xiao Luo, and was very sure that he was not saying this because he knew that Ling Xia was not good in the Yin Sect realm.

The children of the sect do not have the blood ties of the big family, and the constraints on the disciples are extremely strict.

It is a great sin to betray one's sect and go elsewhere, no matter where it is.

If someone in the sect switched to a bigger force, they might swallow it up, but even if the Yin Sect was not as good as the four major families, it was still one of the top forces on the Kyushu Continent, and they were ...... It's nothing now.

Whether it was for Ling Xia's future situation and reputation in the Kyushu Continent, or for the sake of the Ming Province Valley, which was now newly established, Xiao Luo could not propose to let Ling Xia betray the Yin Sect.

Thus this juice... There must have been something she hadn't noticed.

Thinking like this, Xue Yuan put his gaze back on Ling Xia, observed it carefully for a while, and finally reacted and noticed that something was wrong.

Ling Xia's cultivation is not right!

When she first met outside the valley before, most of her attention was on Shangguan Miao, and when Shangguan Miao left the council hall, she didn't think much else, but now she was reminded by Xiao Luo's obviously not right proposal, and she really noticed something strange at this look.

At the beginning of the year, Ling Xia was clearly close to the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, not far from Jiedan, and she also mentioned it to Xiao Luo when she mentioned Ling Xia. But now ......

Ling Xia's cultivation regressed by a realm, falling from the late stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.

This......

"It seems that Lord Xiao Gu knows a lot about the affairs of the sect. ”

As soon as Xiao Luo mentioned it, Ling Xia knew that Xiao Luo already knew, and sighed at this time, so she didn't hide it anymore.

Xiao Luo smiled slightly: "It's just that I just happen to have a friend who is also from a family, and when I used to chat, I heard him get up a little." Now seeing Ling Daoyou's situation, he has some speculations. ”

Xue Yun looked at Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo shook his head imperceptibly, and gestured to Ling Xia.

Ling Xia didn't hide it either: "...... I'm not a Shadow Sect anymore. ”

Xue Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and the next moment he reacted a little: "Then your cultivation ......"

Ling Xia hooked the corners of her mouth, and the smile on her face was full of irony: "Those who made a big mistake and were expelled from the division, they can still retain their current cultivation under heavy punishment, which is already their extra kindness." ”

Xue Yun was silent for a moment: "...... It has something to do with that Senior Brother He that day?"

Ling Xia glanced at Xue Yun more, it wasn't too strange that she could still remember the few people who had fought that day.

"Disobeying discipline, violating the rules of the door, and seriously injuring fellow disciples outside. ”

“......”

Xue Yun clearly remembered that it was clearly Senior Brother He who provoked the online on that day, and it was they who moved the killing intent first.

No wonder......

When they met today, Ling Shuang no longer wore the clothes of a disciple of the Yin Sect.

"So, you ...... Will you take me into the valley?"

“...... Why not?" Xue Yuan smiled after reacting: "When the Ming Province Valley was first built, it needed people and strength the most. Ling Xia had already touched the threshold of Jindan before, and the imperial envoy Chi Lei was even more unstoppable in the foundation, such a talent, why didn't Ming Shenggu accept it?"

“...... I have been expelled from the Shadows, and the day to come is ...... I'm afraid it will add a lot of trouble to Ming Shenggu. ”

"What kind of trouble, there will be a confrontation with the Feng family, parting ways with many forces in Kyushu, and it will be even greater?"

Ling Xia was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and bowed in the direction of Xue Yun and Xiao Luo again.

This time, Xiao Luo didn't make a sound, and Xue Yun didn't stop him.

Thereupon......

Ming Province Valley successfully turned the two "guests" who were difficult to enter the valley today into "their own people".

......

Minh Province Valley.

Wen Ning walked in the valley with Shangguan Miao, and met several people who had not been in retreat recently along the way, greeted Wen Ning very cordially, and a few familiar came up to rub Wen Ning's head, and in Wen Ning's slightly blushing face and a little shy evasion, he was still unfamiliar with the guests around Wen Ning before, and now Wen Ning has become himself Rao Shangguan Miao to say hello.

Among them is Yao Lan.

Yao Lan is one of the top few people in the valley, with an appearance of nearly thirty, it is now in the late stage of foundation building, according to Xue Yuan's estimate after his previous investigation, if it goes well, he will be able to successfully enter Jindan in less than half a year.

It just so happened that Yao Lan was a loose cultivator from Miaozhou, and he was familiar with the boundaries of Miaozhou, and he helped a lot in the process of the initial construction of the Ming Province Valley, and he was very familiar with Wen Ning and Xue Yuan. Plus her never-before-seen personality......

is not gentle, Yao Lan is a "powerful person" who even Xue Yuan, the valley master, dares to go up and rub and make fun as usual.

Wen Ning hesitated for a while all the way about how to keep up with Guan Miao, their Wen family and his grandfather Wen Xian, and he didn't care too much about meeting a few people until he ......

Meet Yao Lan.

Wen Ning sighed in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Shangguan Miao, and before he could do anything, he was lightly pinched by Yao Lan's "claws".

Yao Lan naturally rubbed Wen Ning's white and tender face, and at the same time looked at Shangguan Miao beside Wen Ning with burning eyes, and Shangguan Miao, who had been looking at it with a straight face, couldn't help but shudder.

"Wen Ning, who is this girl who looks so cute and hurts......"

Seeing Yao Lan's eyes and hearing Yao Lan's words, Wen Ning couldn't help but cast a very apologetic look at Shangguan Miao, but replied obediently: "Yes...... It is the ...... who joined us today in the Ming Province Valley Shangguan Miao. ”

Wen Ning's voice was always clear and soft, but at this time, because the flesh on her cheeks was still in Yao Lan's hands, her voice was a little vague.

Yao Lan didn't wait for Wen Ning to finish, her eyes lit up again, and the next moment she quickly let go of Wen Ning, and instead held the other girl's cheek without Shangguan Miao reacting: "Oh yo! It turned out to be the sister who entered the valley today! It's our own people!"

Shangguan Miao has experienced a lot in the past few years, and has escaped death several times, so he is extremely vigilant. But since he decided to join Ming Shenggu, he knew that this was his "home" in the future, and his heart relaxed a little. Following Wen Ning all the way, she also met a few "colleagues" in the future, and when she met the first few Rao, she would subconsciously raise a little guard, and after greeting several people in succession, she was no longer so vigilant in everyone's kindness.

Yao Lan was also full of kindness and curiosity when she came over, and Wen Ning beside her was even more familiar than the previous ones, so Shangguan Miao didn't care......

So he didn't escape Yao Lan's "claws".

Of course, with the difference in cultivation between the two of them, Shangguan Miao may not be able to succeed even if he dodges.

The girl, who looked only a little older than Wen Ning, widened her big watery eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and her mouth was tightly pursed. A face that was clearly born very soft and cute, but pretended to be serious, was full of surprise, and Yao Lan ......

I almost screamed.

Shangguan Miao's eyes widened, and she felt the palm holding her cheek pause for a moment, and then began to rub it gently, but the light in the eyes of the female cultivator named Yao Lan in front of her became more and more scorching.

Shangguan Miao stammered: "...... Road...... Daoyou ......"

"Hey, what's your name! What kind of friend is it!" Yao Lan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and her face flushed a little excitedly: "It's all your own people, you can call me sister in the future! Sister Yao and Sister Lan are okay, whatever we like cute!"

Listening to Yao Lan's three words "cute", Wen Ning, who didn't know how to "rescue" Shangguan Miao on the side, glanced at Yao Lan.

Yao Lan felt Wen Ning's gaze and coughed lightly: "Oops...... The title of cuteness belongs to us Wen Ning, and he should be unhappy if he doesn't let him use it......"

Wen Ning: "......" He wasn't upset, he was happy, really......

Shangguan Miao: "......" Then give it to Wen Ning, she doesn't need it, really......

Yao Lan rubbed Shangguan Miao's cheeks again: "Then we will call Miao Miao obedient?"

Shangguan Miao: "...... Handsome...... Sister...... Just call me by name......"

Yao Lan looked a little disappointed: "...... Okay, okay, listen to the obedient, who made you so painful! Then call you Miao? Miao? Haha...... If you have something to do in the valley in the future, just come to you Sister Yao!

Shangguan Miao: "......" She thinks she shouldn't have anything to trouble with......
