On the peak of Zhong Lingyuxiu in the west of Chongwu, there is a natural lake, called Tianyuan Pond, which is the place where Chongwu's disciples practice water system exercises.

Every New Year's Day, Qing Ling and other fellow cultivators of the water system would come here to practice, and Mo Qian would occasionally come to check on the progress of his disciples.

In the Chongwu faction, in addition to Qing Ling, Ling Feng and Li Zhong also practiced this line, but because of the huge difference in strength, every time it was their turn to practice, Qing Ling and Li Zhong consciously formed a group and worked together to fight against the third senior brother of Xueba.

On this day, when Qing Ling and Li Zhong rode the Xuanniao to fall on the side of Tianyuan Pond, Ling Feng had already fought with someone.

I saw Ling Feng condense a water shield with pool water, moving quickly to resist the opponent's repeated attacks.

Luo Yao, who was on the opposite side, turned his body lightly and his posture was fluttering, and the ice sword in his hand drew an arc in the air, rippling out like ripples of water, hitting colorful ice particles on the water shield.

Li Zhong touched his chin and said to himself, "Senior brother is also cultivating water spirits? A few days ago, I saw him helping the second senior brother make a puppet, and the maids he made were all slender and colorful, and I thought he was cultivating a wood spirit ......"

Qing Ling looked at the two figures in the rippling light and studied for a moment, "Third Senior Brother deliberately let Xiao Qi go, right?" Why hasn't he fought back? ”

Li Zhong squinted at Qing Ling, and said in a long voice: "Hey, don't you keep saying that you want to take care of your junior brother on weekdays?" Why is it that listening to your tone now, it seems that he wishes he would be beaten by the third senior brother? ”

Qing Ling glared at Li Zhong, "Then if you don't want to see your junior brother suffer, go and replace him!" ”

Li Zhong crossed his hands in front of his chest, "Why should I go?" If he wasn't punished by the master, who would take the initiative to be the sparring partner of the third senior brother? ”

By the pool, the speed of Luo Yao's attack slowed down.

Ling Feng grabbed a flaw and quickly condensed the water into an arrow, stabbing at Luo Yao.

Luo Yao's robe sleeves flew, and he swept the pool water into a water dragon, devouring all the incoming rain arrows, and then rushed forward, directly hitting the Lingfeng Face Gate.

Ling Feng hurriedly regrouped the water shield defense, but when the water dragon was still two or three feet away from him, it suddenly scattered like a loss of strength, splashing a large splash of water.

Luo Yao smiled apologetically, "I originally wanted to make some momentum, but after all, my cultivation was too shallow and unsustainable, which made Senior Brother laugh." ”

Ling Fengwu thought to himself for a moment, and said to Luo Yao, "Come again!" ”

Qing Ling next to him unconsciously began to wonder.

The third senior brother's attack on Luo Yao's water arrow was exactly the same as the method he used to test his junior brother that night, and the strength was many times higher. But why, Xiao Qi couldn't even cope with his own three-legged cat kung fu, but he was able to block the attack of the third senior brother?

Li Zhongshi took a few splashes and touched his face and hair in horror.

He had always paid the most attention to appearance, and he was busy digging a handkerchief in his sleeve, but suddenly remembered that he had gotten up this morning and changed into a newly made fine brocade robe, and forgot to put the handkerchief in it.

He turned his head to look at Qing Ling, and saw her in a daze, as if she was in deep thought.

Li Zhong walked over, pulled up Qing Ling's sleeve, reached out and groped in it for a moment, and pulled out a silk handkerchief.

The two of them are close in age and grew up together since childhood, so they don't shy away from suspicion at all......

But when Qing Ling came back to his senses and turned his head to see the silk handkerchief that Li Zhongxi was holding in his hand to wipe his face, he was angry.

She snatched it back, "Who told you to take it?" ”

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" Why don't I borrow your handkerchief to wipe your face, what's the murder? ”

Qing Ling stuffed the silk handkerchief into his arms, "If you splash water, you can use your spiritual power to dry it, what to wipe it!" ”

Li Zhong said: "You don't understand this. The hair is soaked in water, and if it is dried with spiritual power, it will form locks and locks. It must be carefully printed with a silk handkerchief so as not to spoil the hairstyle. And if there is a water stain on the cheeks......"

"Alright, alright," Qing Ling interrupted him, took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve again, and handed it over, "Take it!" ”

Li Zhong is a native of Panye, and his family is well-known in China. Every time he went home to visit relatives, he inevitably had to mingle with a group of young people in the clan, and he was also stained with some aristocratic young people.

Li Zhong took the handkerchief and stared at Qing Ling suspiciously, "Little Liu, I noticed that you have been a little weird lately. If you are in a daze for a while, and you are smirking for a while, it can't be that you have fallen into evil, right? ”

Qing Ling fought back: "You have just fallen into the evil spirit!" ”

Li Zhong thought about it, and the thief smiled: "I know! Are you thinking about the Ganyuan Conference? Then don't blame the senior brother for not reminding you, with your little ability, you must not be qualified to officially play. Even if you wait until the afternoon competition, I'm afraid you will only be embarrassed by Chongwu when you play. So it's imperative to have a good relationship with the senior brother, the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother, and when they win the prize in the competition, they may be able to share your share! I heard that this time, Emperor Yanhao prepared a lot of treasures to send as prizes, and wanted to take the opportunity to win over the top-notch talents of the major families in the Eastern Continent. ”

Li Zhong originally thought that Qing Ling would be angered by her words, but unexpectedly, she was silent for a while, and asked herself quite sincerely: "Fifth Senior Brother, what are the origins of the four great families in the Eastern Continent?" ”

Li Zhong was a little flattered and cleared his throat, "The four major families in the Eastern Continent are the Baili Clan, the Fangshan Clan, the Monan Clan, and the Chunyu Clan. The Baili clan sat on Daze and controlled the only way for trade between the Eastern and Western Continents, and thus amassed huge wealth and an extraordinary status. They originally divided one side and didn't buy anyone's account, but later the current patriarch of the Baili clan was named the Marquis of Daze by Emperor Hao, and the title was passed down from generation to generation, and the Baili clan was equivalent to being a minister to Chaoyan. Counting, the Baili clan should be the most powerful family in the fourth family.

The Fang Shan clan, with a strong family and many talents, is good at drilling power and mastering the core power of the Chaoyan court. The queen of the current Emperor Hao is from the Fang Shan clan, and her son is probably the next Emperor Hao.

The Mo Nan clan controls at least more than 30% of Chaoyan's military strength, and there have been many famous generals in the family, and the clansmen are extremely appealing in Chaoyan's army. By the way, the fiefdom of the Monan clan is in Fuyang, which is quite close to our Chongwu.

As for Chun Yu's family, hmm...... It seems that there are a lot of things in hand, and there are many industries in Chaoyan and several small countries in the south, but in the past few thousand years, because the family is not prosperous, he has been eating his old book, and he has not made any remarkable achievements. It can be regarded as the weakest of the four great families. ”

After listening to Li Zhong's introduction, Qing Ling was in awe, "Fifth Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to know quite a lot. ”

"Of course!" Li Zhong didn't know when he took out a folding fan and shook it proudly, "After all, I often go in and out of Chongwu and travel all over the world, unlike you, who have nested in this mountain all my life!" ”

In normal times, Qing Ling had already quarreled with Li Zhong, but today she had a surprisingly good temper, and after a moment of silence, she asked sincerely: "That...... Do you know Mushi? ”

"Mushi?"

"Yes, Mus. I've heard that they seem to be quite close to the Monan clan. ”

"Mushi? Muss ...... Mu Shi ......" Li Zhong frowned and thought for a long time, and shook his head reluctantly, "I haven't heard of it." Even if there is, it's a small family, right? ”

"Oh." Qing Ling was a little disappointed, and asked unwillingly: "But his family seems to be quite powerful, and there is a fierce young lady in the clan called Ah Jing." ”

"Ajing? …… Jing...... Mu Jing? Mu Jing, Mu Jing ......" Li Zhong repeated a few times, his eyes suddenly widened, "You won't be talking about Emperor Mu Jing of Chaoyan Kingdom, right?" ”
