"Brother Lin, re-introduction: My name is Si Jiuyi, the waste girl of the Si family, you should have heard of it, right? My reputation in the imperial capital is on par with yours. Si Jiuyi squeezed her eyes and said half-jokingly, in fact, she was as famous as all the people with the name of geniuses in the imperial capital before, because when it comes to many geniuses, she needs to be used as a foil.

Xiang Lin was silent, he had thought of countless possibilities - for example, Xijiu may have come out of the temple to practice, and the identity of the imperial capital may have been just used by him to disguise his nonsense; I also thought about what kind of hermit family member Xi Jiu was, so he couldn't find it all the time.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Xijiu was actually a daughter, or Si Jiuyi, who set off a huge trend in the entire imperial capital a month ago!

Although Si Jiuyi's departure caused a short period of time in the imperial capital, the discovery that Si Jiuyi was able to cultivate the Miscellaneous Spirit Root to the same effect as the single spirit root provoked countless Miscellaneous Spirit Root disciples in the Imperial Capital to follow suit.

"Si Jiuyi ......" Xiang Lin whispered the name, and the confusion in his eyes gradually faded. West Kowloon is a woman, isn't it the best outcome for herself? So what else is there to struggle with?

Thinking of Xiang Lin, he smiled, and the corners of his mouth curved up in an arc that could infect people's hearts: "You girl, you left without saying a word, I have been looking for you for the past two months." ”

"Huh? Always looking for me? Is there something going on? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I ...... "I kind of want to see you." Before the second half of the sentence could be spoken, it was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Ming Yu.

Xiang Lin's hard-earned courage also dissipated in an instant.

"Xiaoyi? Do you know Commander Xiang Shao too? Mingyu scoundrels generally got between the two, and they didn't have the consciousness that they had just interrupted others' confessions.

Xiang Lin frowned: Why didn't I hear that the young master of the explanation family was so annoying before?

Si Jiuyi was accustomed to Ming Yu's vast number of friends, and he didn't ask him how he would know Xiang Lin, explaining: "I met him in the Luoxia Mountains when I was training before, and I knew him. ”

Hearing this, Ming Yu looked at Si Jiuyi: "As Xijiu?" ”

"Hmm."

"Tsk~ You're really ......"

Halfway through Mingyu's words, he squinted at Xiang Lin in front of him, and Xiang Lin also looked at this "annoying" Mingyu.

The two of them belong to the kind of "king does not see the king" in the emperor on weekdays, and they have only heard each other's names and some descriptions.

From a man's point of view, Ming Yu naturally knew what Xiang Lin represented when he looked at Si Jiuyi just now, and as Si Jiuyi's good friend, he naturally had to take a good look at Si Jiuyi. In his eyes, although Si Jiuyi has some "small shortcomings" in his personality, he is definitely worthy of the best.

And from Xiang Lin's point of view, Mingyu - that is definitely a stumbling block between him and Si Jiuyi. And he didn't know what position Ming Yu, who seemed to be so good with Si Jiuyi, in Si Jiuyi's heart, could it be that he was already a step too late?

Si Jiuyi had naturally discovered the situation of the two of them flying into each other's eyes, so he could only slap them alone, and then when the eyes of the two looked at her, he told Xiang Lin about their mission this time.

"So, you're also here to look for the Wind Xuanhua this time?" Xiang Lin asked unexpectedly.

"yes, you too?"

"Well, we took on this task as well." Xiang Lin nodded.

"Then we'll each do what we can?" Si Jiuyi smiled mischievously, and Xiang Lin's heart suddenly collided like a deer.

The three of them sat around a campfire in the middle of the clearing, eating the meal prepared by the mercenaries.

Since the other eight members of the Yanling Sect came with Si Jiuyi, they were also politely arranged by the mercenaries to be closer to them.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Si Jiuyi told Xiang Lin about some of the things that had happened after he left the imperial capital, as well as the recent situation of his current cultivation in Yanling Sect, and then he got to the point.

"Brother Lin, how long have you been in the Luoxia Mountains?" Si Jiuyi asked.

Xiang Lin put down the cup in his hand: "We arrived three days ago." ”

"Did you find anything strange about it?"

"You mean you didn't see the beast?"

"That's right! Sure enough, you found out! ”

"Well," Xiang Lin nodded, and continued, "We also think it's strange that the demonic beasts here seem to have disappeared en masse. Although there have been a lot of people in the Luoxia Mountain Range recently, it is impossible for these people alone to wipe out all the demonic beasts in the outer and middle areas. ”

This is also something that Xiang Lin can't figure out.

Even if the demonic beasts are attracted by the soon-to-mature Fengxuanhua, it doesn't make sense, because the demonic beasts on the periphery generally don't risk stepping into the inner perimeter.

Seeing Si Jiuyi frowning and thinking deeply, Xiang Lin instinctively wanted to reach out to help her smooth her eyebrows. But when he saw Ming Yu staring at him on the side, with "You dare to move and try" written all over his face, he gave up this plan, and could only comfort him verbally: "Don't think so much, I have already explored the route, and I should know what the situation is when I go over tomorrow." Let's rest early tonight, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their tents, and Xiang Lin and Mingyu surrounded Si Jiuyi in the middle.

After a night's rest, almost everyone looked in good spirits the next morning.

However, there were a few exceptions in the team, who apparently did not sleep well.

One is Senior Brother Yang, who has been worrying all night: if he acts with these mercenaries, although the mission will be more secure, but in the end, the question of the ownership of Fengxuanhua is not necessarily.

Shui Yuan didn't sleep well, and he wondered all night why these mercenaries reacted to Si Jiuyi this way, but he called himself a gentleman, which was different from Mingyu's tactfulness - he was uncomfortable all night adhering to the idea that a gentleman can't gossip and can't get to the bottom of it.

As for Chu Qiran, she thought that with her appearance that could arouse men's desire to protect and her identity as a disciple of the Yanling Sect, these five big and three rough mercenaries would definitely not listen to her obediently? Who knew that no matter how she asked, these people just refused to say anything about the matter between them and Si Jiuyi.

asked several mercenaries, and they all answered at first, but as soon as Si Jiuyi was mentioned, they immediately shut up, which made her want to vomit blood in anger. But the more they didn't talk about her, the more curious they became, so they didn't sleep all night.

Since the mission is the same, the two teams decided to go on the road together after discussion, and then rely on their own abilities after arriving at the position of Feng Xuanhua.

The group set off "in harmony" towards the inner perimeter of the mountain range.

After walking for about half a day, Qinglong's voice came from his mind: "Master, there are many people in front, and there are many demonic beasts, and their cultivation is not low. ”

"How low is not low?"

"Hmm...... There are a few old men around the Jindan period, and the others seem to be similar to you, and most of the demonic beasts are in the fourth or fifth order, and you can't beat them. Qinglong said without hesitation.

Si Jiuyi felt that she had received a 10,000-point critical attack.

Feelings, you're not low, it's just for my strength, right?

Sure enough, after walking for a while, the group saw the situation in front of them.

In front of them was a swamp-like depression surrounded by only a few dry dead trees. But snakes in the trees, crocodiles in the mountains, and scorpions in the rocks are all hidden dangers.

And in the middle of the swamp was a fist-sized cyan bud swaying in the wind—it was the wind flower that was about to bloom.

Wind Xuanhua blue flowers and green leaves, flowers like fists, leaves like palms, surrounded by small tornadoes, before the flowers open, this tornado will protect it. Only when the wind flower is ripe will the tornado disperse.

The swamp divides this inner area into east and west, and the east side is the side of Si Jiuyi and others, and there are about twenty or thirty people standing, judging from the style of clothes and the position of the station, it should be from two different forces.

The two forces stood on one side, the colors of their clothes were blue and black, and each team was basically composed of two or three old men with a group of young disciples.

The well-informed Xiang Lin knew people by his clothes, and saw Si Jiuyi looking at him with an expression of "what are they", and immediately introduced Si Jiuyi: "The blue clothes on the left are the Sun family of the Sky Blue Empire, and the black clothes on the right are the people of Qi Tianzong." ”

"Qi Tianzong?" Si Jiuyi said he hadn't heard of it.

Ming Yu, who was accustomed to her ignorance on the side, took over the conversation: "If the Yanling Sect is the first major sect in the mainland, this Qi Tianzong is the second sect. I heard that the time between the two sects was not long apart, and each of the Sect Masters of Qi Tian Sect could only be ranked second if they were dissatisfied, so no matter what it was, they would compete with the Yanling Sect. Just like our disciples' robes are white, they are black; We have seven peaks, and they also have seven peaks; The time when we entered the sect is also the time when they entered the sect...... In short, these two sects are in the same pattern except for each other, and they have been in love and killing each other for hundreds of years. ”

Si Jiuyi looked at the dozen or so black-clothed people from the Qi Tian Sect in front of him, and felt that the sect masters of these two sects were really funny.

"How is the sect ranked? Why is the Yanling Sect the first sect? Si Jiuyi asked, if she was allowed to be the second for hundreds of years, she wouldn't be able to do it, right?

"The annual sect competition is just half a year later. The top three sects in the mainland will gather together for a competition, and the one who wins is the first sect. However, the first and second have not changed for hundreds of years, and other sects don't want to struggle anymore, so it can be said that the big competition of sects is competing for the third position. ”

This time Si Jiuyi understood, and at this time, the people of the two teams also discovered Si Jiuyi's line.

A group of black-clothed Qi Tianzong disciples became vigilant as soon as they saw the Yanling Sect disciple robes on Senior Brother Yang's body, and although they didn't take out their weapons, the atmosphere at the scene was not very good.

"What? Now the disciples of the Yanling Sect have been reduced to the point where they have to rely on mercenaries to lead them to do tasks? A fair-looking young man in Qi Tianzong's team said sarcastically.

"Haha, there is nothing, we just met by chance on the road." Senior Brother Yang walked out with a hippie smile, walked to the side of the white young man, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Rui, since we are all here for Feng Xuanhua, then we will each rely on our abilities later, don't let others take advantage of the fisherman because of other things." As he spoke, Senior Brother Yang quietly pointed to the group of blue-clothed people on the right and the mercenaries behind him.

Apparently the two men knew each other.

"Hmph." Who knew that the white young man of Qi Tianzong just snorted coldly and pushed away Senior Brother Yang, who was close at hand, and then said disdainfully: "This Feng Xuanhua is already in the bag of our Qi Tianzong, who and you have their own abilities?" We, Elder Qian, are intermediate cultivators in the Jindan stage, what qualifications do you have to compete with us for this Feng Xuanhua? ”

The white young man pursed his lips, looked at Senior Brother Yang with disdain, and the words he said made Senior Brother Yang even more embarrassed: "Besides, with a defeated general like you, even if you don't have Elder Qian, you are not qualified to tell me what to say, is it good to rely on your ability?" I can't help myself~"

The young man put his hands around his chest, and the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc, obviously laughing, but it could make people feel deep malice.
