Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Test
Central Boundary, Tianhuang City.
Xia Yuqian followed Shenyu Xuan out of the Red Fang and came to an inn on the other side of Tianhuang City. The inn is located in the middle of nowhere, and is hidden deep in the corners of the streets.
"This is an inn run by our Yiguo merchants, you can stay here first, practice and prepare for the ring match with peace of mind," he comforted softly: "I will also live here during this time, you can come to me at any time if you have any questions." ”
"I'll take you to meet someone first. He added.
"Who?"
"My grandfather is also the master of the Divine Mansion, you are competing for the Divine Mansion this time, but the registration time has passed, and you need to explain the details to your grandfather, so that he can come forward to say hello to Fengyun Pavilion again. ”
"Oh......" Xia Yuqian hesitated again, she hadn't seen Young Master Shaokun since last night, she didn't know if she should just hide from him to participate in the ring, "Young Master, there is one thing I think I need to tell you......"
Xia Yuqian looked at him, she knew that what she said next might make her lose the opportunity to compete, but she was unwilling to hide it from Shenyu Xuan.
"Actually, I am a slave, and my master is Young Master Han Shaokun of the Han Mansion. She said this because she was nervous, and one hand was still clutching the corner of her clothes.
Shen Yu Xuan leaned down and looked at her patiently, "Since you have decided to participate in the competition, you will be your own master from this moment on. After speaking, he got up and took Xia Yuqian's hand and walked straight to the inn.
They walked upstairs, the corridor was very quiet, there were closed wooden doors on both sides, and when they reached the end of the corridor, Shenyu Xuan knocked lightly on the door, and a white green smoke suddenly floated out from the crack in the door, and a white-clothed ghost wearing a white pointed top hat, with a face as white as paper, red eyebrows and red lips, and a smile like a smile, stopped in front of the two.
"It's really strange, how did the young master come to this remote place?"
"I have something to see grandpa. ”
"Bai Qi, let him in. A clear voice came from inside the room.
The ghost grinned and flashed to the side and opened the door, the room was very large, there was a smell of ink and books wafting in the room, Xia Yuqian walked into the inner room, and at a glance saw the man in white lying on his back on the couch and the ghost in black not far from him, wearing a black peaked top hat.
Shenyu Xuan motioned for Xia Yuqian to kneel down with him.
"Grandpa. Divine Domain Xuan saluted respectfully.
Xia Yuqian looked at the young and handsome man in front of him with an incredulous expression, and thought that there was something wrong with his ears, the man looked like he was only twenty or thirty years old, if it was Shenyu Xuan's father, no one would believe it, let alone his grandfather......
"Well, who is this little girl?" asked Shenyin, his eyes fixed on the bamboo slips in his hand, and there were piles of bamboo slips scattered under the bed in front of him, stretching out in front of them.
"Xia Yuqian, she used to work in the Red Fang, and got acquainted with her grandson, who saw that her martial arts were acceptable, so he recommended her to participate in the ring competition. ”
"You should know that not just anyone qualifies for the ring. ”
Shenyu Xuan turned her head to look at Xia Yuqian, her gaze was still firm and unwavering. I don't know when Shenyu Xuan trusted her so much, she left him with an impression that was different from others, he was curious about her, whenever he saw her facing danger and helpless, he subconsciously wanted to stand beside her and be with her......
"My grandson believes she has the strength. Shen Yu Xuan looked at Shen Yin with great conviction.
"Black Troll. ”
Xia Yuqian saw that Shen Yin gave instructions to the black-clothed ghost beside her, and the ghost disappeared in place in an instant, she suddenly convulsed, thinking that the ghost suddenly disappeared silently, but a strong sense of foreknowledge told her that he must still be in this room, this is their test for her. Xia Yuqian closed her eyes and concentrated on perceiving his whereabouts with her internal force, but she found nothing and couldn't perceive anything...... But she knew he must be around her!
Xia Yuqianfei picked up a book of bamboo slips in front of him, waved his side hand, and spread out the tightly connected bamboo slips into the air. At the moment when she made a move, a faint breath flashed behind her, and in just a moment, Xia Yuqian searched for the direction of that breath without thinking. Hearing only a thunderbolt as fast as lightning and the crisp and violent sound of the surrounding furniture vases being shattered one after another, Shen Yuxuan looked back to see that the originally thick bamboo slips in her hand were already left with only two slender white threads.
Shenyin raised his head, and his sharp gaze fell on the girl in front of him.
Xia Yuqian came back to her senses, and looked at the precious furniture that had been smashed everywhere, and then she felt a panic, and her face was like dust, and she almost didn't catch her breath and planted it on the ground.
Shen Yuxuan finally stopped, with a black face and red eyebrows, and a little surprised black on his face, and looked at Xia Yuqian, who was standing in place a little inexplicably at a loss, with a slight shock.
"Do you know what you just did?"
Xia Yuqian looked at the solemn eyes of Shangshen Yin, and quickly knelt down to apologize: "I'm sorry......! I didn't mean to, I'll definitely find a way to pay ......"
"Hei Yu is the twenty-seventh on the martial arts list, but your knife can actually rub him. Shen Yin said and looked at Xia Yuqian with interest, Xia Yuqian raised her head, only to find that half of the black ghost's black clothes had been pierced.
"However, what interests the old man the most is that your internal strength obviously can't keep up with the aura of the black drag, and most people will choose to passively avoid the battle or remain vigilant and prepare for the battle in the same place when they can't detect the opponent's breath, and why did you choose to make a decisive move in this situation?"
Xia Yuqian looked at him, and remembered what the man in red had said to her in her dream that night in Hongshan Village-if you can't see the road ahead, do what you can.
"As you said, the opponent is stronger than me, and my internal strength can't keep up with him, even if I concentrate on finally sensing his breath, I'm afraid it's too late, so although I didn't know his exact direction at the time, I knew that he must be in this room, so I used the sweeping attack just now, and the first strike was stronger!"
"I'm afraid I didn't expect you to attack so decisively, only to show a trace of flaws in the slight chaos of his breath, fortunately he is a soul shadow void, otherwise he will inevitably be hurt by you," Shenyin stood up after speaking, the golden silk white clothes on his body were as light as a curtain, he stepped forward to help Xia Yuqian up, and suddenly showed a smile of appreciation, "Welcome to join the Divine Mansion!"
