"Then I still can't go to the inner courtyard?"

Although Zeng Tai was a little surprised that the frail old man in the family was also from the Martial Arts Academy and was still Binglan's junior brother, he regained his composure after a moment, and even had a hint of joy.

"If that old man is Binglan's junior brother, it just means that my father is right to ask me to come to Binglan!"

"Why can't you rely on your true talent and actual learning to enter the inner court? Besides, the selection and assessment of the inner court is a decision that is instructed by the elders and passed by the collective study of the mentor house, how can I change it privately?"

Bing Lan didn't expect Zeng Tai to be so ignorant, but he thought that he could change such a serious matter in the academy casually.

"Why can't you? You have the Elder Order in your hand! You can help me in the martial arts trial, why are you afraid now. ”

Zeng Tai felt that Binglan had been prevaricating and coping, and he had no intention of helping him at all.

"Zeng Tai, don't embarrass your Zeng family and Zeng Xiang anymore! If you really want to go to the inner courtyard, you can cultivate hard, and the opportunity is for those who are prepared. ”

Seeing that Zeng Tai was actually questioning herself, Bing Lan suddenly became angry and angry, and turned around to leave.

"Mentor Binglan, please help me, now in the academy, I have no friends!" Zeng Tai suddenly knelt behind Binglan with his legs on the ground, and said in a begging voice.

"The martial arts test will make you an exception to the shortlist, it has made me sleep, you can go, don't come to me again in the future!" Bing Lantou left indifferently without replying.

Zeng Tai knelt on the ground gloomily, his eyes were full of disappointment, Bing Lan's words made him break off the last trace of thought with the inner courtyard, a chill rose in his heart, and suddenly he burst out laughing, but after laughing wildly, a hideous and ruthless expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Zeng Tai stood up a little embarrassed, and then slowly walked out of the gate of the mentor's academy with heavy steps.

"Since none of you want to help me, don't blame me. ”

Binglan was leaning against the door of his room at the moment, and Zeng Tai's request for a surprise visit brought back memories to him. Among the inner court disciples recruited in the Martial Arts Academy, in addition to the current four mentors, there is one person, that is, Zeng Tai's second grandfather, Zeng Xiang.

Zeng Tai's grandfather died early, only his second grandfather he had never met since he was a child, only knew that since he could remember, there was a lame man in the family, Zeng Yuecheng called him Uncle Xiang, and Zeng Tai always thought that this person was the family they recruited.

But only Bing Lan knew that this was the same junior disciple who was admitted to the hospital with him, and he was extremely talented and extremely strong, and at that time he was the most powerful among the five of them to impact the realm of the Martial Sect.

What is unexpected is that Zeng Xiang felt that the inner courtyard could no longer meet his cultivation, especially when he knew that Hongduan Ancestor's self-created martial arts were hidden in the Nine Spirit Cave, so he left the inner courtyard privately and wanted to go to the Nine Spirit Cave to steal the martial arts.

Elder Xuanguang, as the chief elder, was particularly angry with Zeng Xiang's behavior, and blasted him out of the Nine Spirit Cave with a palm on the spot, Zeng Xiang fell from Bodhi Peak into a deep stream full of thorns, and later Xuanguang sent Binglan and Lan Yu to go down the mountain to search for Zeng Xiang's whereabouts, they did not find Zeng Xiang's body, but guessed that he might have survived, in order to save his life, they came back to report to Xuan Guang that Zeng Xiang had fallen to his death, and the body had been corrupted so it was not brought back, and Xuan Guang did not continue to investigate.

Although Xuan Guang was convinced that Zeng Xiang was dead, Bing Lan and Lan Yu, who knew the inside story, had been painstakingly tracking down his whereabouts, until one time when he went to the Great Liang Dynasty to supervise the martial arts examination meeting, and accidentally saw a lame person who was very similar to him, Bing Lan knew that Zeng Xiang had fled back to Zeng's house.

However, the Martial Arts Academy is a behemoth that no one in the Tianyan Continent dares to offend, Zeng Xiang naturally does not dare to publicize that he has returned from the academy, so he has been living in the backyard of the Zeng family, except for Zeng Yuecheng and Zeng Tai, almost no other people can see it.

At that time, Zeng Yuecheng had just hit the realm of King Wu, and was successfully appointed as the king of martial arts by the Great Liang Dynasty, and since then the Zeng family has become brilliant.

Zeng Yuecheng was knocked off by Elder Xuanguang from Bodhi Peak that day, fortunately he was hung by a tree that grew obliquely on the cliff, but one of his legs was stuck between the branches, and it took a lot of effort for him to finally break free from the tree, and then he finally climbed to the ground along the steep mountain stream, according to the direction in his memory, he endured the pain and ran back to the Liang Dynasty.

But because of Xuan Guang's palm blow, and because he was invaded by the cold in the deep stream, although he maintained the peak realm of the Martial King, his legs became permanently disabled due to the pressure of the tree branches and the erosion of cold poison.

Since then, whenever there is a martial arts trial, Bing Lan will take the initiative to ask for the Great Liang Dynasty, in order to reunite with old friends many years ago, and the news of Zeng Xiang's return to the Great Liang Dynasty, Bing Lan did not even tell the reputation.

Bing Lan clearly remembered what Zeng Xiang said to him in the backyard of Zeng's house during this martial arts test.

"Senior brother, I am the disgrace of the academy, don't come to see me in the future, if the elders find out, it will implicate you, if you can, please do the last thing, is to let Zeng Tai enter the academy, Zeng Yuecheng's personality is too arrogant, I don't want the glory of the Zeng family to bloom only for a while, and there must be a descendant to take over." ”

After Zeng Xiang finished speaking, he knelt directly in front of him, and the crutches in his hand also fell to the ground with a "clang".

"Senior brother, why are you so bothered!" Bing Lan quickly helped Zeng Xiang up from the ground, looking at his face that seemed to be much older, and felt very unbearable.

Bing Lan was originally a very principled person, but seeing Zeng Xiang's old appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he agreed to let Zeng Tai enter the academy out of the ordinary.

But what he didn't expect was that this Zeng Tai was not good at cultivating after he arrived at the academy, and what he thought about every day was to set up a freshman gang, find ways to frame Zhou Ling, and also sabotage the selection of disciples in the inner courtyard, these were actually very clear in Bing Lan's heart, it was said that with Zeng Tai's behavior, he could have expelled him from the academy, but in the end, he was imprisoned for ten days.

Who would have thought that this Zeng Tai not only didn't know gratitude, but also came to the door and asked to get him to the inner courtyard, which made Binglan so angry that he went straight to the fire.

If it weren't for Zeng Xiang's promise, he wouldn't have brought Zeng Tai to the academy anyway. He was too jealous of Zhou Ling, so he couldn't cultivate his mind and practice martial arts.

Just when Bing Lan sighed endlessly, Tutor Lang Yu came to the door.

"What's wrong? I see you're in a bad mood!"

Knocking on the door, Liang Yu saw that Binglan had a serious expression on his face, and he didn't say much about his arrival.

"It's nothing, it's just that I remembered the past just now!" Bing Lan said with a pretended relief.

"I knocked on the door and came in, I saw that you haven't noticed me yet!" Among the four mentors, Lan Yu was the best with him, and he naturally didn't believe what Bing Lan said.

"Do you remember Senior Brother Zeng Xiang?" asked Bing Lan.

When Bing Lan said this, Tutor Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then looked back to see if the door was closed.

"Binglan, aren't you evil, why did you suddenly ask him?"

"It's just that I suddenly remembered it!" Bing Lan said, "In fact, I was also responsible for what happened back then, and I didn't pull him even if I knew that he had a clue!"

"I can't blame you for this, he was too eager to succeed, and coveted the ancestor martial arts, so he caused a big disaster, and it has nothing to do with you!" said Mentor Column.

"And we've all already helped him!"

Hearing what Lan Yu said, looking at the bright moon rising in the night sky outside the window, Bing Lan suddenly felt a little more at ease, after all, they could really only help Zeng Xiang like this, and even Zeng Tai later.

In the backyard of Zeng's house in the Great Liang Dynasty, a rickety old man limped slowly in the courtyard on crutches, and his figure was even more lonely and desolate under the moonlight.

The old man looked at the silver moon in the sky, as if he remembered that unforgettable past, he was high-spirited, belligerent and victorious, joined the inner courtyard with the first place in the selection of the inner court, and Binglan and the four of them broke through to the realm of the martial king, but he was not satisfied, he knew that Hongduan Ancestor left a self-created martial art, he coveted it for a long time but did not have the opportunity to obtain it, and he chose to steal it under the influence of curiosity.

Who knew that it was just that thought that made a big mistake in a lifetime! It was too late to regret it.

"Tai'er, you must cultivate well, the Zeng family is counting on you!"

The old man's vicissitudes of life voice muttered to himself.
