Qingyun Mountains, Big Bamboo Peak.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed since Wang Qi took Zhang Xiaofan away.

Seeing that Qingyunmen's "Seven Veins Martial Arts" was approaching, Tian Buyi and Su Ru were urging their disciples to cultivate, while looking forward to Zhang Xiaofan's return.

Autumn went to winter, and the weather gradually became cold, except for Tian Buyi and his wife, who had advanced cultivation and were not afraid of this ordinary cold and warmth, the rest of the disciples slowly added clothes.

On this day, the rare sunshine on the big bamboo peak, Tian Ling'er and the others went out of the hall one by one after lunch, sat lazily on the steps, enjoyed the warmth of the sun, and chatted without a word.

"In a blink of an eye, even the sixth junior brother has been down the mountain for half a year, but the junior brother hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how he is now." Song Daren said while scratching the head of the big yellow dog.

Wu Dayi, who was beside him, said with a smile: "Senior brother, what are you worried about, junior brother has that senior to take care of, there will be no problem." ”

Lu Daxin also smiled and said: "This seven-vein martial arts is imminent, although the master and the master keep urging us to cultivate, but they don't expect too much from us, I see, except for you, senior brother, it is the little junior brother who is worth looking forward to." ”

He Dazhi analyzed: "The little junior brother has the teaching of the senior, and when he comes back, there is a chance that his cultivation will surpass a few of us, I estimate that at least it must be the fifth layer of the Yuqing Realm, and it is similar to the senior brother. ”

Zheng Dali also chimed in: "That's right, maybe there is more than the fifth layer......

Several people came with interest and discussed with great interest, speculating about Zhang Xiaofan's current cultivation.

At this time, Tian Ling'er, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and said with dissatisfaction: "That guy is so stupid, it's only been a year and a half, if he can reach the fifth layer, it's already incredible, how can it be even higher than this?" You're still putting less gold on his face. ”

"Uh......"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other, in the past year and a half, they also knew about the marriage between Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er, and they were excited to discuss it just now, and they were a little carried away.

Song Daren stood up and said: "Senior Sister Ling'er, although the little junior brother is a little dull, but at this time and that time, with the teachings of the seniors, who can say for sure what his future will be?" We're just going to explore it. ”

Tian Ling'er snorted lightly, rolled her eyes, and said slyly: "Why don't we make a bet, if he can't reach the sixth layer of Yuqing's cultivation or above, how about you go and help me persuade my father and mother to cancel their marriage?" ”

"Don't bet! Don't bet! Everyone hurriedly refused, saying: "We don't dare to go, besides, this matter has already been decided, even the master doesn't dare to regret offending the other party, right?" ”

"Alas!" Tian Ling'er sighed, looking sullen.

At this moment, Su Ru in the hall suddenly walked out and said to Tian Ling'er: "My mother has gambled with you." ”

"Master!" The crowd saluted.

Tian Ling'er's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Su Ru and said, "Really? ”

Su Ru confirmed: "If Xiaofan doesn't have at least the sixth layer of Yuqing's cultivation when he comes back, my mother promised you to go and postpone the marriage." ”

Without waiting for Tian Ling'er to cheer, she continued: "However, what if you lose the bet? ”

Tian Ling'er couldn't suppress her joy, and said without hesitation: "Of course, I am willing to gamble and lose, and everything will be arranged by my father and mother at that time." ”

"Good! Don't lose your temper then. Su Ru smiled mysteriously and turned around and returned to the hall.

Tian Ling'er didn't notice Su Ru's expression, and couldn't help jumping up excitedly: "Great! ”

Song Daren and the five exchanged glances, but the bystanders saw a trace of the problem, but no one said anything.

After Su Ru returned to the hall, she said to Tian Buyi, who was still drinking tea: "Now our daughter is in the trap." ”

Tian Buyi laughed and said: "Xiao Fan wrote half a year ago that he had entered the realm of the eighth layer of Yuqing, and now he will only be stronger than then, my Da Zhufeng is finally going to raise his eyebrows, it is better for Ling'er to marry him than to marry an outsider." ”

……

Another month passed, and in the afternoon of this day, there was a sound of breaking the sky above Dazhu Peak, and two white lights galloped from the west and landed in front of the main hall "Shoujing Hall".

"Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, disciples of Longshou Peak Cangsong, meet Uncle Tian and Uncle Su."

In the Shoujing Hall, everyone from Dazhu Peak happened to be there, and Tian Buyi said lightly: "Come in." ”

Soon, a handsome man in white clothes walked in with a young man of fifteen or sixteen.

Tian Buyi turned around on Qi Hao's body, and then glanced at Lin Jingyu, secretly shocked in his heart, he had already seen that Lin Jingyu, who had only cultivated for three and a half years, actually had the strength of the fifth layer of Yuqing.

As soon as his mind turned, he understood the purpose of the two of them coming here, most likely Cangsong sent two people to show off their power to him, and before Zhang Xiaofan didn't write a letter, Tian Buyi's mood would definitely not be much better.

But now he didn't care, and said indifferently: "Let's talk about it." ”

Qi Hao arched his hand and said: "Uncle Yutian, the family teacher Cangsong Zhenren is entrusted by the head of Dao Xuan Zhenren, and he will take care of all the matters of the Seven Veins Martial Arts Test in two years. Because there are a few changes, I am specially ordered to come with Senior Brother Lin to report. ”

With Zhang Xiaofan's reassurance, no matter what the changes, Tian Buyi was not panicked, so he said: "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Qi Hao said: "The rules of the martial arts have been changed this time, and there are nine disciples in each of the seven veins, of which the number of Changmen is the largest, and there is one more person, making it sixty-four people. ”

"Well, I don't have a problem." Tian is not easy to be calm.

Qi Hao's expression changed slightly, and after glancing at everyone present, he then asked: "Before leaving, the family teacher also ordered one thing, that is, my Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Zhang under Uncle Tian are old friends and old acquaintances, but I see that Senior Brother Zhang doesn't seem to be there, I don't know when he will return?" ”

Tian Buyi snorted and said coldly: "This is your real intention, right?" ”

Wang Qi's existence, as well as the master-apprentice relationship with Zhang Xiaofan, among the seven veins, although most of the disciples are not clear, the core disciples of each peak have heard of it.

At present, the Seven Veins will be martial arts, and it is a matter of the glory of each vein and the first face, even if Cangsong owes Wang Qi a favor, he will not take the initiative to give up, so he has to fight for it.

Before Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu came, they were instructed by Cang Song, mainly to find out whether Zhang Xiaofan had returned and test the other party's current strength.

Tian Buyi sneered and continued: "Xiao Fan has not returned from his travels with Elder Taishang, okay, you can go back after getting the news." ”

He didn't talk nonsense, ignored Su Ru's eyes, and sent the guest directly.

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu showed embarrassment, and glanced at each other helplessly, a little at a loss for a while.

At this moment, the big yellow dog lying on the door of the Shoujing Hall basking in the sun suddenly made a "woo", shook its tail vigorously, and jumped back and forth, looking excited.

Tian Buyi and the others heard the sound and looked, just in time to see a young man wearing a purple robe descending from the sky and landing outside the gate.

Although this young man has an ordinary appearance, he has a unique temperament, giving people a sense of maturity and stability beyond his age.

He had a gentle demeanor, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, standing indifferently, and a pair of bright eyes shining with dazzling brilliance, although he did not release any momentum, but everyone couldn't take their eyes off.

"Master, master, senior brothers, Xiaofan is back." Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, stared at everyone in the hall, and revealed his true feelings.

"Hahaha......" Tian Buyi laughed heartily, looked at Zhang Xiaofan outside the door, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, as if he had seen a piece of carefully polished jade, releasing the most brilliant brilliance.

"It's really a little junior brother!"

The rest of the people came back to their senses, and Song Daren quickly snatched it out, gathered around Zhang Xiaofan, and exclaimed: "If you hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have believed that you were really our little junior brother." ”

"That's a big change!"

"yes!"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and hugged the senior brothers hard, and then he entered the lobby like a moon of stars, glanced at Qi Hao, then looked away, and said to Lin Jingyu next to him: "Jingyu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Although his tone was gentle and steady, he seemed to be a superior who was born with the power of life and death, which made Lin Jingyu, who had always regarded Zhang Xiaofan as a younger brother, very unaccustomed to it, and was a little stunned for a while, until Qi Hao pushed him, and then reacted and said, "Xiaofan...... Long...... Missing. ”

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and nodded slightly, then turned around, looked at Tian Ling'er, who was standing beside Su Ru and staring at him without blinking, walked a few steps, stood in front of the other party, and said softly: "Senior sister, Xiaofan is back, I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you are getting more and more beautiful." ”

In the days when he was in power in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the three daughters of Poison Island and Mrs. Sanmiao were instructed by Wang Qi to teach him in this regard, and subtly, he had already changed his original dullness.

Tian Ling'er couldn't believe it when she saw Zhang Xiaofan's big change, there was a relationship between the two of them, listening to him praise herself, she suddenly felt her heart beat faster, and a sweetness surged into her heart, her face was slightly red, but she snorted softly: "It's only been more than a year, how did you become so flamboyant, and you don't feel ashamed." ”

Tian Buyi and Su Ru glanced at each other, and they both showed knowing smiles.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan took out a delicate small box from his body, handed it to Tian Ling'er and said: "Senior sister, this is a rare treasure I got when I traveled abroad, as long as I carry it with me, it can not only maintain my appearance and youth, but also make people stay calm in their hearts, which is very beneficial when cultivating." ”

"Huh?" Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up and looked at the box handed by Zhang Xiaofan.

Su Ru said on the side: "Since it is a piece of Xiaofan's heart, put it away quickly." ”

Tian Ling'er took it shyly and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Xiaofan said with a smile: "As long as the senior sister likes it, Xiaofan is very happy." ”

Tian Ling'er didn't know what was wrong with her, the meeting pictures that she had thought about countless times in her mind were suddenly shattered one by one, and the prepared words couldn't be matched.

The image of the little junior brother who had always been protected by her suddenly became extremely tall, as if she was the one who was cared for, and this completely different feeling suddenly made him feel numb.

She kept telling herself in her heart that this was not true, but she had a feeling of excitement, and she lowered her head for a while, and her face was blushing and thinking wildly.

And Qi Hao, who has been ignored by Zhang Xiaofan since he entered the door, looked at Tian Ling'er's youth and beauty, but he was extremely annoyed.

He had already heard of Tian Ling'er's reputation and admired it for a long time, but he didn't have the idea of seeing it this time, and he regretted not saying it in advance at this time, and couldn't help touching the cool beads that had been prepared in his arms, but he couldn't send them out.

He suddenly had a feeling of losing the most precious thing, and unwillingly, he said loudly: "Senior Brother Zhang, although Brother Fool is meeting you for the first time, but your name has already been heard, I heard that you have been following Elder Taishang to travel and cultivate, and your cultivation must be extraordinary, I don't know if I can teach you a few tricks?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the past, and even the panicked Tian Ling'er woke up, remembering the bet with Su Ru, and finally found a reason to convince himself.

Her big eyes looked back and forth between Qi Hao and Zhang Xiaofan, containing anticipation.

Zhang Xiaofan was sensitive, and immediately discovered Qi Hao's inexplicable hostility towards him, and when he saw Tian Ling'er's gaze, his heart was suddenly shocked.

In fact, he and Wang Qi had returned to Qingyun Mountain a few days ago, but Wang Qi had made him wait for a while longer, and only before that he had let him come down from the palace hidden in the sky with a playful smile.

After a year and a half of experience, and someone has taught him, he is no longer as stupid as he used to be, and suddenly understood something, of course, he can't retreat, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what to call senior brother?" ”

Su Ru naturally saw the problem, but she turned her heart to Zhang Xiaofan, and seemed to have no intention of introducing it: "This is Qi Hao, a senior disciple under your Longshou Peak Cangsong Master, who was in the limelight in the Seven Veins Great Competition last time, if it weren't for Xiao Yicai in the Changmen, maybe it would be the champion of the last Grand Competition." ”

Qi Hao's expression was indifferent, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Su is too awarded, in the last big test, Senior Brother Xiao of the Changmen was a genius and a profound, and his cultivation was profound, I was far behind, and I was so convinced that I had nothing to say." ”

Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up, she didn't expect this Qi Hao to be so powerful, not only is he handsome and extraordinary, but he is also the leader of the last Seven Veins Martial Arts, this is another Jiazi past, with the other party's qualifications, what kind of realm will he reach.

She glanced back and forth at the two of them, secretly contrasting in her heart, although the two were equally stable, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Zhang Xiaofan's temperament was even more special, as if she had been tempered by thousands of hardships, but Qi Hao was much worse than him.

Her eyes stayed on Zhang Xiaofan, with curiosity, I don't know how far the little junior brother's cultivation has grown in the past year and a half, and whether he has reached the sixth layer of the Yuqing Realm.

If so......

Tian Ling'er's pretty face instantly dyed a touch of crimson, and she couldn't help but start thinking about it again.

Zhang Xiaofan sensed Tian Ling'er's gaze, and a strong fighting intent surged in his heart, took a step forward, crossed a distance of several meters, came to the opposite side of Qi Hao, and stood with his hands in his hands and said, "Senior Brother Qi, please make a move." ”

Qi Hao's expression changed, Zhang Xiaofan obviously had an extraordinary long sword behind him, but he didn't use it, and even looked like he was winning, which made his face very ugly.

But he didn't dare to be careless at all, Wang Qi's strength through the sky, he had already heard about it, and he couldn't be too cautious in the face of that person's disciple.

Qi Hao felt a great insult to Zhang Xiaofan's trust, and a cloud of anger rose in his heart, blazing, and he made up his mind to give the other party a good look.

Especially in front of Tian Ling'er!
