Qiu Rong'er couldn't help but feel funny when she saw Leng Chitong staring blankly at the candle on the table with a look of curiosity.

"I said you weird fellow! Where did the fight come from? The first time I look at you, I think it's very strange, I didn't expect to even know a candle? No wonder it's so dark so early in the house, maybe you don't even know how to light the candles? ”

"Who said I don't know, I just said that on purpose." Leng Chitong hurriedly put away the doubts in his eyes and pretended to be calm.

"Oh? Is it? Qiu Rong'er's expression was very weird, looking at the cold red eyes that were a little embarrassed. Let me see what kind of books this strange guy will read. As she spoke, she wanted to snatch the book from his hand while Leng Chi's pupils were out of his mind.

It's just that he didn't expect Leng Chitong to react so quickly, and immediately discovered Qiu Rong'er's intentions, grabbed the wordless book in his hand tightly, turned around and rolled out of bed.

"Shouldn't you go back to your room this big night?" Leng Chitong said coldly.

Qiu Rong'er rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "I didn't expect you to react very quickly as a stupid boy, forget it, who rarely reads the broken book in your hand!" Hum! Since I'm so unwelcome, I'll just go! As soon as the words fell, Qiu Rong'er went out and left with a huff.

"This woman is just rude, and she doesn't know how to close the door when she leaves." Leng Chitong muttered dissatisfiedly, so she had to close the door by herself.

But through the crack in the door, he inadvertently saw Xu Ran standing alone behind a big column at this time, looking at the direction in which Qiu Rong'er left.

The bright moonlight hit his face, and somehow, Leng Chitong's eyes showed a bit of loneliness and desolation in Xu Ran's expression.

Why is the look in his eyes so strange every time he looks at that girl?

Leng Chitong muttered in his heart.

However, he didn't expect to be discovered right away.

Xu Ran turned his head sharply, which really startled him.

"Rest early, although the master opened his mouth to let you be my apprentice, but it also depends on whether you can pass the exam questions I designed for you tomorrow morning! If you don't pass, you don't want to stay in this Leng Villa. Xu Ran said to Leng Chitong, who was looking out of the door in the house.

As the words fell, he turned and went back into the house.

"yes, got it." Leng Chitong echoed softly, but he was very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know where he offended Xu Ran, and he actually felt that he was a little fierce in the tone of his speech.

No wonder Master said that people outside are complicated......

Leng Chitong looked at the few night patrol disciples who occasionally passed by outside the door, and then looked at the unfamiliar night sky.

As soon as he remembered that he would have to get up early tomorrow, he didn't care about thinking about it, and after scratching his head, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because of this short episode in the evening that he felt a little less disappointed about the loss of the old man in the white robe.

On this night, he held the wordless book tightly in his hand, and the white-robed old man appeared in his dream, and the corners of his mouth raised an arc of a smile.

In a trance, he seemed to feel that the white-robed old man was still by his side, and he had never been far away.

......

"Ahh Something happened! Leng Chitong, who was still immersed in sleep, didn't know who kicked her, rubbed her buttocks, which was kicked very painfully, jumped up all of a sudden, and the sleepiness suddenly dissipated.

I saw Xu Ran in front of him with a serious face, holding a long stick in his hand and constantly beating on the edge of the bed, looking at Leng Chitong with angry eyes, and said, "Look, what time is it?" Still sleeping? Get up and come with me! ”

Leng Chitong looked innocent, looked at the still gray sky outside, and didn't make much excuses, and tidied up his clothes a little and prepared to go out.

"Don't even wash up?" Xu Ran looked at this sloppy young man angrily, pointed to the basin on the side, and scolded angrily: "There will be people here every day who prepare a basin full of clean water, hurry up and wash your face and come out!" After speaking, Xu Ran walked out of Leng Chitong's room.

"What's going on with this man today? Suddenly this vicious look! If I really let this person be my master, I still have a way to live? Leng Chitong washed up quickly, and at the same time wondered in his heart about Xu Ran's abnormality today.

"Alright, alright, where are you going now?" It seemed that Leng Chitong had no bottom in his heart, and asked Xu Ran softly.

Xu Ran just hooked his fingers and didn't say a word.

Leng Chitong walked behind Xu Ran nervously, and after walking together for a long time, he saw him stop, so he also stopped.

Leng Chitong looked up and saw a huge ashlar standing in front of him, with three large red characters carved on it, "Dense Stone Forest".

"Dense Stone Forest?" Leng Chitong read a few big characters on the stele in a low voice and curiosity, and then took a closer look at the forest, there were not many trees in this forest, but there were stones of different sizes and shapes densely distributed, and in the dense stone forest not far from this stele, it was already full of disciples of Leng's Villa.

Almost the disciples of the entire mountain village gathered here.

In front of many mountain villa disciples, Leng Yueming had a serious face and was sitting on a stone chair, while Qiu Rong'er looked at Leng Chitong with a smile on her face, and even secretly glanced at Xu Ran from time to time.

"The apprentice is late, please forgive the master!" Xu Ran said respectfully.

"It's okay, everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's get started." Leng Yueming commanded.

Leng Chitong looked at the smiling faces staring at him, and felt a chill hit him for no reason.

"That's the cold red pupil from yesterday's legend? I don't think it's anything special! One of the disciples said softly with a disdainful expression.

"It seems that the owner of the village is still acting fairly, I thought this kid could even be exempted from the basic stone test." A short, skinny man said with a smile.

The stone test is a link that every new disciple of Leng's Villa must go through.

The disciples of the Leng Clan Villa can have the qualification to accept apprentices when they reach a certain level of cultivation, and whenever the activity of recruiting new disciples of the Leng Clan Villa is over, the person who passes the test can freely choose the master.

But when faced with accepting apprentices, the person who is selected to be the future master must use the stone as the theme in the dense stone forest to set up difficulties in order to test the potential of the other party, and only when the other party successfully passes can he be regarded as a real disciple of the Leng Villa.

"Look at it, senior brother's expression, I'm afraid that this kid will definitely not have any good fruit to eat today."

"Yes, yes, yes! I see, maybe this kid can only stay in Leng's Villa for a day and then go back, right? ”

While Xu Ran was preparing to write the question, all the disciples whispered about their predictions for today's exam results.

Xu Ran looked around, pointed to the largest stone in this dense stone forest, and said, "If you can move that stone next to the stone tablet at the entrance of the dense stone forest, even if you pass my test, then you will be my official apprentice in the future." ”

As soon as Xu Ran's words came out, the disciples of the mountain villa below all turned their heads to each other, and there were many people who gloated.

"Sure enough, haha, this stone is estimated to be four people big, right? It seems that even the senior brother is annoyed by this kid. ”

"I think so, probably just because of the owner's face, I agreed to accept him as a disciple."

"Senior brother didn't say that he wanted to move this stone entirely? Could it be that it can be divided into several small pieces and moved in batches? ”

Another disciple of the mountain village heard this, thoughtful, but after a few seconds, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't think of any way, the general stone test only has a stick of incense, even if it is moved in batches, the time is not enough!" I see that the results of today's stone test are already clear. This kid has to leave Leng's Villa! ”

Just when everyone was expressing their opinions, Qiu Rong'er was the first to come forward and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother, aren't you embarrassed? With such a big stone, how could he, a person without any cultivation, be able to handle the level you set! ”

Qiu Rong'er suddenly thrust a bar, which made Xu Ran's expression even more ugly, "What? Do I take in apprentices or do you take apprentices? ”

"Rong'er, since it is your senior brother who tests his future apprentice, and even I can't interfere, how can you care so much? Let it be! Since I want to be the apprentice of the big disciple of the Leng Clan's Villa, this stone test should also be more difficult! Leng Yueming put on a look that it didn't matter to herself, and said indifferently.

"But, but ......" Qiu Rong'er seemed to have to say more, but as soon as Leng Yueming said these words, she felt that she really didn't have any qualifications to meddle, so she had to retreat to Leng Yueming's side again.

Leng Chitong didn't seem to care at all about what the people below were saying, and she didn't care about Qiu Rong'er's kindness, she just looked at Xu Ran suspiciously, and only confirmed out loud after a long time: "Just move this stone there?" ”

"Just?" When Xu Ran heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and looked at the guy in front of him in amazement.

However, Leng Chitong's words not only shocked Xu Ran, but even the other villa disciples below were in an uproar, and all kinds of ridicule were endless.

"That's right! Since you think this question is easy, don't bother with it, and, remember, you only have a stick of incense! Xu Ran looked at the young man in front of him who was not afraid of tigers with a newborn calf with a slight anger.

Leng Chitong walked leisurely in front of the boulder Xu Ran pointed to.

At this time, all the disciples of the mountain villa who were waiting to watch the show at the bottom brushed their eyes and fell on Leng Chitong's body.

I saw Leng Chitong clapping his hands, then squatting in a standard horse stride posture, wrapping his hands around the boulder, and then began to grope around for a small stone pit suitable for fixing his fingers.

Something surprising happened, but unexpectedly, it was only a moment, Leng Chitong actually picked up the boulder steadily, and slowly walked to the carved stone tablet at the entrance of the dense stone forest with no effort.

When Leng Chitong moved the entire boulder to the side of the inscription stone tablet, everyone was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

Even Leng Yueming, who had always been calm, couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, and suddenly stood up from the stone chair.

"How...... How can it be? Xu Ran's eyes widened, looking at the incredible picture, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
