The Xie family's academy was built in Beizhuang, twenty miles outside Lanling City, and the scale was not too large, but fortunately, there were not many disciples studying in it, and it didn't seem too crowded.

There are a lot of maple trees planted in the school, it is the season when the maple leaves are in full bloom at this time, looking at it from afar, only to see a piece of red leaves covering most of the school, between the layers of forests, showing a strong autumn mood, several solemn and simple black buildings loom among the red leaves, but also reveal a deep and quiet beauty.

Xie Qingning looked up at the clusters of maple leaves, feeling like countless firebirds were about to spread their wings and fly high, and a sense of relief arose in her heart for no reason, after all, this was the place where she had stayed, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little kind when she revisited the old place.

In her previous life, the first thing she did after returning to the Xie family as the head of the family was to rectify the clan study, so for a long time she lived in the "Shangshan Building" at the back of the clan study, and whenever she was in a bad mood, she would look far away, or walk among the maple forests, so these maple leaves are just plants for others, but for her, they are friends who accompany her for countless lonely nights.

Thinking of this, Xie Qingning closed her eyes and took a deep breath, the coldness in the air mixed with the breath of plants and trees penetrated the tip of her nose, making her sorrow for days smooth, when she opened her eyes and was about to take a step, she suddenly felt a cool breeze in the back of her head, and the sharp sound of hard objects breaking through the air was clear in her ears, making her look change slightly, and her petite body almost moved ten meters to the left at lightning speed, but there were still a few strands of messy hair sliding down her right shoulder and falling to the ground.

Xie Qingning's eyes were slightly condensed, and he quickly turned his eyes, only to see a pair of men and women standing side by side ten steps away from Fenglin Road, both looking at her with not very kind eyes.

The female is Xie Huayan, the man is about seventeen or eighteen years old, not a teenager, but he is heroic, handsome eyebrows, but his eyes are fluttering, the corners of his lips are slightly slanted, and he always feels evil, lacking a bit of sunshine and righteousness.

Xie Qingning knew that this young man's name was Ye Chong, and he was Xie Zhongshu's eldest disciple and Xie Huayan's senior brother.

After recognizing the identity of the other party, Xie Qingning lowered her head and looked at a golden sleeve arrow lying quietly on the asphalt pavement, it was this thing that attacked her just now, the cold killing intent flashed in her lowered eyes but quickly disappeared, and when she looked up again, there was only a blank look in her eyes, and she asked in a calm voice, "Who are you?" Why did you sneak up on me? ”

"Senior brother, this is this girl." Xie Huayan's voice was full of hatred, her right arm was still wrapped in a splint and bandage, although she looked a little embarrassed, but these external traumas did not wear out her usual loneliness and pride, but looked at Xie Qingning arrogantly, as if she expected that her end would be very tragic.

Ye Zhong only bowed his head slightly when he heard her words, turned his eyes to Xie Qingning, and asked pretendically, "You are Xie Qingning?" ”

"So what?" Xie Qingning observed Xie Huayan's reaction, and had already guessed that she had found a helper to avenge the revenge of the last time, but after all, this was Xie Clan's Studies, and she was personally approved by Xie Zhongshu to enter the Clansmen's Studies, no matter how stupid she was, she wouldn't invite foreign aid to deal with her in public, right? Is this really good for her reputation, Xie Zhongshu's reputation, and the reputation of the entire Xie family?

Xie Qingning secretly sneered in his heart, no wonder the Xie clan had declined to the point where it was almost untenable in Lanling City after a hundred years, if it weren't for her efforts to turn the tide, the Xie family would have long ago been in the Dongzhou Realm, where there were many monks like stars.

"As Huayan's younger sister, it's okay if you don't respect your eldest sister, you even insulted her in public, causing her to be injured, her arm has not healed yet, and it has also affected the progress of cultivation. As a senior brother, I really can't agree with this. Therefore, even if you are really amazingly talented and have excellent bones, I must give you guidance today, so that you will not be arrogant and harm your fellow disciples in the future, and disgrace the Xie family! Ye Chong's tone was very flat, as if he was teaching a child.

Hearing him so upside down right and wrong, and without any self-awareness of bullying the small, in the name of "pointing and pointing", Xie Qingning was really laughed at, and she finally understood why Xie Huayan was so stupid.

She seems to be the pride of the sky, but in fact, her parents are both camping, each of them "fighting endlessly" for power and status, where can she take care of her children's education? What's more, the couple's own three views are not normal, how can they teach their children to be sensible and judge right and wrong? Looking at the apprentice they accepted, it was simply a waste, no wonder he had been chasing after Xie Huayan in his previous life and failed to get her favor, and finally married the woman next to him, and turned into dust a hundred years later, and he failed to achieve anything on the path of cultivation in his life.

"And what do you want to instruct me?" Xie Qingning's smile carried a kind of indescribable weirdness, which made Xie Huayan feel faintly bad.

But she thought about it and thought that Senior Brother was now in the middle stage of foundation building, so what was the problem of teaching Xie Qingning who was in the Qi refining period? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but whisper to him, "Senior brother, this girl is so vicious because of her talent, she will definitely bring disaster to the Xie family in the future, you might as well take the opportunity to abolish her cultivation, so that she no longer has the ability to harm others." ”

Ye Zhong has always listened to the little junior sister, and he didn't say much when he heard the words, but took two steps forward, put his hands behind his back and said, "You are more than ten years younger than me, I won't bully you, let you make three moves first, so as not to disagree in your heart." ”

Teenage younger? You're thirteen years older than me, okay? Although Xie Qingning was slandered in his heart, his expression was very calm.

She could see that Ye Chong's cultivation was higher than her, and she could also see that the other party didn't care about this public place at all, thinking that he still relied on Xie Huayan's special identity, even if he was seen by others, he didn't dare to say anything, so they dared to be unscrupulous.

But Xie Qingning has her hole cards, so she is naturally not afraid of Ye Chong, but it is not cost-effective to easily use her hole cards for such a stupid pair of men and women. That's why she hesitated for a moment, her eyes swept over the other disciples who kept passing by, but she didn't dare to watch, lest she get into trouble, and asked, "In that case, why don't we change places?" After all, this is a sidewalk, so it's not good to delay the other siblings from studying, right? ”

Hearing this, Xie Huayan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed without waiting for Ye to nod, "Of course, then go to the plum garden." ”

"Plum Garden" is located in a courtyard on the far left of Xie clan studies, once lived a master outside the world, he once served as a guest of Xie clan studies, when he had nothing to do, he gave Xie disciples a lecture on cultivation courses, but a hundred years ago he drove the crane to the west, the garden has been vacant so far, and because of its plum blossoms in the cold winter, it gradually became famous, and became one of the grand scenes in the family science.

At this time, it is not yet winter, the cold plum is not fully blooming, and there are naturally no people in the plum garden, Xie Huayan proposed here, he must feel that it is sparsely populated, which is convenient for Ye Zhong to give Xie Qingning a heavy hand, and she also feels that it is excellent not to show the hole cards in front of people as much as possible, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation.
