On the day Chu Yi settled in the inn, a news about the Wenhua event quickly spread throughout the Southern Tang Dynasty.

According to the traditional rules of the Mandarin Association, the competition between colleges is divided into a teaching group and a student group. However, the rules of this year's Wenhua Competition have changed dramatically, and the teaching group competition has been cancelled and replaced by the Dean's Challenge.

There is no limit to the challenge subjects, poetry, scripture, and song, and the challenge rules are as follows:

Participating College Deans are required to take the initiative to challenge other College Deans for three rounds. Those who succeed in the challenge will be rewarded with three Mandarin Orders, and those who succeed in defending will be rewarded with three Mandarin Orders.

So, if you're lucky, you'll get nine Mandarin Orders if you succeed in three attempts, and nine Mandarin Orders if you succeed in defending three times. In this way, you can add 18 Mandarin Orders, and you can definitely turn the tables.

As soon as the rules were announced, it caused an uproar in the court and the major academies.

The opposition within the court came and went, but it was finally suppressed by the emperor.

At this moment, there is a courtyard in the eastern suburbs of Qingyang City, where Wen Tingkai, Yuhuan and others live.

Dean Chu Yi has not shown up so far, which makes everyone in the academy worried.

Jian Wuchen sat at the stone table in the pavilion, and it was Hu Fei opposite him.

"Are you really leaving?" asked Hu Fei repeatedly.

Jian Wuchen rolled his eyes at him, and secretly said that he didn't ask knowingly.

Hu Fei sighed a few times and said: "However, I declare in advance that I can't control your little lady, don't blame me if she runs away with someone." ”

Jian Wuchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you finished talking?"

Seeing his unbeaten appearance, Hu Fei said slightly angrily: "You are like me, it's not good to be a wild cultivator, you have to be a killer." The blood-red thorn is a bottomless abyss, and the more you walk, the more you can't break free. Why the hell are you?"

Jian Wuchen was speechless, got up and walked out of the gazebo.

The moonlight is like water, spilling on his body, vaguely giving people a feeling of being in a different world.

"Everyone chooses a different path, and the meaning of existence is different. Jian Wuchen said lightly.

Hu Fei rang the gods.

The road is different, the people you meet are different, and the meaning of existence is different.

He chose the path of wild repair.

On this road, I am alone, alone in the face of the whole world.

The end result is twofold: to be killed and to kill him.

Luckily, he's made it this far. Break the mirror, fall into the realm, and break the mirror again.

In just a few words, it has experienced countless tests of life and death.

Jian Wuchen turned around and looked at the friend of life and death to whom he could entrust his back.

"Some things, even if they start out as messy, end up being memories that you don't want to forget. ”

Hu Fei was stunned, he didn't expect him to say such sensational words, and asked tentatively, "You won't be gone forever, will you?"

Jian Wuchen smiled faintly, turned around, and left in style.

"Fuck you, uncle. Hu Fei scolded.

As soon as Jian Wuchen left, the guards of the Yanling Academy landed on his body.

Hu Fei knew very well that countless pairs of eyes had been staring at the surroundings of this courtyard for a long time.

There are martial arts masters, and there are also those garbage monks.

However, Hu Fei knew too well about Sun Yuxiang, who was far away in Luochuan.

The calmer the moment, the more violent the storm will be.

However, Hu Fei believes that when this old opponent encounters a ruthless person like Chu Yi, even if it is black smoke from the ancestral tomb, I am afraid that he will have the heart to die in the future.

Thinking of this, Hu Fei's heart was full of infinite expectations.

And this expectation also made him more willing to stay in the academy.

Coupled with the fact that Jian Wuchen lingers here like this, then this place must be a treasure of feng shui.

Follow Chu Yi, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Yuhuan pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew, making her shiver.

Chu Yi has no news so far, which makes her really worried in her heart, she doesn't think about tea and food, and her face is a little thinner, but it makes her more beautiful.

"Tomorrow he will return. The sound of Jian Wuchen sounded in his ears.

Yuhuan Fang's heart trembled slightly, and suddenly realized something, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"There are some things that need to be dealt with. ”

"Will you come back, then?" asked Yuhuan in a low voice.

"People will grow old, and flowers will decay. But the flowers bloom season after season, but people may not return. Jian Wuchen said lightly.

Yuhuan Fang's heart sank suddenly, and she asked, "Where are you going?"

The sword stood on the roof, the moonlight wrapped in the cold wind, and the white clothes hunted and hunted.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yuhuan blurted out, "You have to come back alive!"

After a while, Jian Wuchen's voice came: "Okay!"

The back hall of Xiangshan Academy is a very ordinary small courtyard.

In the room, a few candles were lit.

An old man was hunching at his desk, flipping through the books in his hand while holding a pen and writing a few lines on the paper.

"Teacher, you have asked me to inquire about the matter clearly. Chu Yi, the dean of Yanling Academy, has not appeared in Qingyang so far. A middle-aged man in a gray robe said with a respectful expression.

Xun Zhen froze for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.

The middle-aged man continued: "King Yue's side has sent many killers to chase and intercept, but they have all failed. Nowadays, the surroundings of Yanling Academy are full of people from King Yue. Once Chu Yi enters Qingyang, I am afraid that there will be more evil and less luck. ”

Xun Zhen slowly put down the brush in his right hand, looked up at him, and asked, "What do you think?"

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "No news is good news." But tomorrow is the last day, if Chu Yi doesn't show up, then Yanling Academy will not be able to participate in this competition. So, there should be an answer tomorrow. ”

Although Xun Zhen didn't ask about these mundane things, he also understood the real purpose of Li Jingyou's ruthless sniping of Chu Yi.

Now, his acceptance of Chu Yi as a closed disciple has not been officially announced to the outside world, so few people in the outside world know about it.

If this identity is protected, it may be able to deter some people and reduce some dangers. But this is another double-edged sword, which will push him to the forefront and even become the target of public criticism.

Until this moment, Xun Zhen couldn't be sure in his heart, did this help him or hurt him?

The middle-aged man seemed to see his concerns, and said in a deep voice, "Teacher." In the eyes of students, the destiny of man is always moving in a set direction. Even if an external force changes the trajectory of the process, it cannot change the final result. ”

Xun Zhen glanced at him a few times, sighed softly, and said, "When I was young, I thought that I would have no worries about the stripes. But when he is old, he has more delusional thoughts. ”

"There is no obstacle, no terror. Far from upside-down dreams, nirvana. The middle-aged man said slowly.

Xun Zhen smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "The heart is like a ragged thorn, and there are concerns everywhere; ”

The middle-aged man's heart trembled, and his expression changed slightly: "Thank you for the teacher's teaching." ”

"You go back first. Xun Zhen buried his head and continued to read.

The middle-aged man bowed down and respectfully exited the room.

Walking out of the small courtyard, the middle-aged man looked up at the night and said to himself, "I'm really curious." ”

He was really curious, what kind of young man was this Chu Yi, who actually let the teacher fall in love with him and become his closed disciple?

Moreover, this young man did not deal with Li Jingyou, the king of Yue, and it is unknown whether he could rush to Qingyang to participate in the competition safely.

But at least, don't die so easily.

Because of the change in the rules of this cultural meeting, as the president of Xiangshan Academy, he will have the opportunity to compete openly with Chu Yi on a formal occasion.

What would it be like if you trampled your teacher's closed disciples under your feet in front of everyone?

Want to know, but don't want to know.

It's just that, deep down, I'm really looking forward to it.

Luochuan, Yue Wangfu.

Li Jingyou listened to the information of the old man in black, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Are you sure?"

The old man in black said respectfully: "Your Highness, you are sure." ”

Li Jingyou got up and paced, and said, "My father suddenly changed the rules of the Wenhua Club and asked the seventh sister to return to Beijing, both of which are a bit unreasonable. ”

The old man in black wrung his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, the Seventh Princess is now of marriage age. The emperor asked her to return to Beijing mostly because of this matter. ”

Li Jingyou nodded and said, "The seventh sister studied under the Taiyi Palace, and she was deeply appreciated by the Han Palace Master. If you can form a relationship with the seventh sister, then you can logically get involved with Taiyi Palace, which is also a big arm's strength. ”

The old man in black clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "What His Highness said is extremely true. However, the Seventh Princess's vision is extremely high, and I am afraid that ordinary children of the family will not be able to enter her eyes at all. ”

Li Jingyou smiled and said: "No matter how high her vision is, she is a woman after all, especially a woman from the emperor's family, and she can't decide many things." ”

"What's the news over there in Qingyang?" Li Jingyou changed his words and asked in a cold voice.

The old man in black was nervous, and told him truthfully: "Your Highness Qiqi, Qingyang has no news of Chu Yi so far. After Yanling Academy and the others entered Qingyang, there was no other movement. ”

A cold light flashed in Li Jingyou's eyes, passing over the old man in black.

"Tomorrow is the last day, and I don't believe he doesn't show up. As soon as he appears, no matter how much it costs, he must be killed. Li Jingyou said murderously.

The old man in black said in a deep voice: "Obey." The subordinates retired. ”

As soon as the old man in black left, Sun Yuxiang walked in.

"There's no problem with the Qingyang Town Guard, right?" asked Li Jingyou.

Sun Yuxiang nodded and said, "Wang An owes me a favor from Xuantianzong, and this time it can be regarded as letting him be a favor." It's already in place in the city. ”

Li Jingyou clapped his right fist and said, "Okay." This time, a killer with a blood-red thorn came out, and Chu Yi would definitely die. Seeing Sun Yuxiang's gloomy face, he asked, "What are you worried about?"

Sun Yuxiang pondered for a moment and said, "According to the direction they fled, the destination of their trip should be Phoenix Valley. ”

"Phoenix Valley?"

"Phoenix Valley is based on the world with pills. Although it is not as good as the pills of the six major sects, for other small sects and scattered cultivators, the pills of Phoenix Valley are also quite difficult to find. ”

"Have you sent someone to Phoenix Valley?" asked Li Jingyou.

Sun Yuxiang's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the direction, there is no doubt that Phoenix Valley will be there." However, Phoenix Valley seems to have disappeared. ”

"What do you mean?"

Sun Yuxiang was puzzled: "There, I can't find any trace of Phoenix Valley, as if it has never appeared. ”

Li Jingyou suddenly asked, "Where is that woman named Ling Yan now?"

Sun Yuxiang shook his head: "I don't know yet." ”

"Your Xuantian Sect isn't very awesome, why can't you even do this kind of trivial matter of finding someone. Li Jingyou couldn't help but complain.

Immediately, the conversation changed: "This kind of trivial matter doesn't bother Brother Sun, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Chu Mansion and the Academy." Over there in Qingyang, Brother Lao Sun bothered more!"

Sun Yuxiang looked at him coldly and turned to leave.

Li Jingyou sneered a few times, and said secretly in his heart: "Why did Xuantian Sect send you such a waste." It's not okay to kill people, and it's even more difficult to find people. ”
