Seeing Lin Ruoxue's demeanor, Zi Teng also looked upright, knowing that this jade plate was by no means ordinary, otherwise Lin Ruoxue would not have taken it so seriously.

Zi Teng, stretch out your hand. ”

Zi Tengzheng was a little inexplicable, so he heard Lin Ruoxue say, and then saw that her little hand was flipped, and the jade plate was suspended.

"Huh, what's this for?"

Although Zi Teng was a little puzzled and didn't know what Lin Ruoxue asked him to do with his hand, out of trust in Lin Ruoxue, he still stretched out his right hand.

"Zi Teng, you remember, this is our Lin family's cold ice jade, which seals a trace of the soul consciousness of the ancestors of the Lin family, with this thing, without bringing danger to the Lin family, you can ask the Lin family to use the strength of the whole clan to do one thing for you. ”

Seeing Ziteng stretch out his hand, Lin Ruoxue said solemnly, followed by a burst of hand-to-hand duel, and then, a cold air wrapped the jade card.

At this time, Lin Ruoxue continued: "Ziteng, you remember to me that this thing can only be used once, and when it is used, it is like the ancestor of the Lin family is here, and it must not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

As he spoke, a demonic soul power, wrapped in the jade card, hit Zi Teng's palm, and saw a flash of white light, Zi Teng only felt a cold palm, and the jade card disappeared, as if it was integrated into his hand.

"This, this ......"

Zi Teng flipped his palms back and forth, feeling quite strange, but he was a little frightened, and said with a solemn face: "Ruoxue, this thing is so important, why do you want to give it to me?"

After speaking, he suddenly saw that Ruoxue's little face was a little pale, and she seemed to be about to fall, so she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Ruoxue, slowly leaned on her arms, and took out a soul rejuvenation pill and fed it to Ruoxue's mouth.

Hitting that cold ice jade in a person's body requires the use of the Lin family's special exercises, and it is very labor-intensive, Lin Ruoxue is only the second order of the soul transformation realm, so the body is a little overloaded, and this will be weak.

Fortunately, under the effect of that pill and the Nine Turns Red Flame Technique, Lin Ruoxue's little face quickly became rosy again.

However, Zi Teng was a little puzzled, such an important thing, I don't know why Ruoxue was so eager to integrate it into his body, and he did not hesitate to consume such a huge amount of demon soul power.

And after Lin Ruoxue recovered a little, she gently pushed Zi Teng away and glanced at him resentfully, before explaining: "This trip to the Earth Tomb, you have helped our Lin family a lot, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have walked out of the Earth Tomb alive, let alone fused with the Lin family's top demon soul." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ruoxue's little face turned red, as if she remembered something in the Tomb, and then continued: "My father originally wanted to give it away with money and treasures, but you don't seem to lack these, and even the Supreme Crystal Diamond Card of Baohua Building has it, so my father decided to give you a piece of this cold ice jade, which can be regarded as a reward for you." ”

"Ah, then you don't have to be in such a hurry!" Zi Teng said with a concerned expression.

"Hmph, and said, if it weren't for you, why would I work so hard?"

Lin Ruoxue snorted lightly, glanced at Ziteng and said, and then said: "This jade jian represents a promise of the family, the stakes are very high, only the people of the family who have made outstanding contributions to the family, and the outsiders who have brought great help to the family can get this promise, listen to my father, in the past few hundred years, the total has only given out three pieces, and you are only the fourth piece, how can I be sloppy? Only by fusing it with you immediately, can I rest assured!"

"Not to mention ......"

When Lin Ruoxue said this, she stopped for some reason, as if she couldn't say something.

"What?" Zi Teng asked puzzled.

"Oh, don't ask, you just have to remember, don't use it until you have to, it's ...... for you and me"

When Lin Ruoxue said this, her face turned red, and she kept silent again, and she didn't say anything about how Ren Ziteng asked, but just reminded Ziteng not to use it easily.

In desperation, Zi Teng looked at his palm, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to ask more, the two chatted for a while, and decided to participate in the trial together tomorrow, and then sent Lin Ruoxue out of the Zi family.

............

As soon as Lin Ruoxue left, Zi Teng also hurried to the lobby, and saw his father Zi Yanfei, the second elder Zi Yanming, the housekeeper Xu Hu, and several core elders of the family gathering together to discuss things, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter, thinking about something happy to talk about.

When all the elders saw Zi Teng coming, they all looked at each other and smiled, and they all said goodbye to Zi Yanfei and walked out one after another, leaving only Zi Teng, the father and son, here.

Zi Yanfei was still smiling at first, but as soon as everyone left, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he asked, "Teng'er, is Miss Lin gone?"

"Ah, Ruoxue went back. Zi Teng said smoothly.

"Ruoxue?"

Hearing Zi Teng's name for Lin Ruoxue, Zi Yanfei was even more worried: "...... between you"

"Ah, I mean she came to the Zi family to find you......"

Ziteng had already seen what his father wanted to ask, this was to probe the relationship between him and Lin Ruoxue, and he also understood his father's concerns, this was for fear that his relationship with Lin Ruoxue would be too close, because the gap between the two families was too big.

Although the relationship between the two has been made clear in private, it is not yet the time to make it public, so Ziteng will not say it, but just said: "Father, please rest assured, Ruoxue and I both know the powerful relationship, not to mention, Ruoxue is only here to thank you on behalf of the Lin family." ”

"Ah, that's fine. ”

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Zi Yanfei had no choice but to sigh lightly.

In fact, he had already heard a trace of information from Zi Teng's mouth, and his heart was also very entangled, not only hoping to have such a clear and jade daughter-in-law, but also not wanting Zi Teng to be hurt in the future because of the relationship between the family and falling into the whirlpool of feelings.

Subsequently, Zi Yanfei talked to Zi Teng about the family's future development plan, but Zi Teng didn't listen, and Zi Teng was not interested in how to manage the family.

Seeing Zi Teng like this, Zi Yanfei was also quite helpless, knowing that this son was only focused on cultivation, and as for letting Zi Teng manage the family, he had to talk about it later.

However, there is one thing that has to attract Zi Teng's attention, that is, in the qualifying competition, five soul source jades were exchanged for one.

Speaking of which, Zi Yanfei was also secretly surprised.

The secret room of the family, only three people can enter, that is, the head of the family, Zi Yanfei, the eldest elder Zi Yanguang, and the second elder Zi Yanming, and even Zi Teng, the young head of the family, has never entered.

Since some of the family's important resources and secrets are placed in the secret room, if you want to enter the secret room, you must have three people at the same time to open it.

And the five soul source jades, because they were to be used in the ranking conference, had been placed in the secret room the day before, and they had not been opened during the period, but I don't know when they were replaced.

As for Zi Yanguang and Zi Yanming, they hadn't touched those soul source jades from beginning to end, but were only responsible for helping to open the secret room together, so it seemed that they had nothing to do with them.

If this is the case, the most suspicious person is Zi Yanfei himself, because after the five soul source jades were taken out of the secret room, only Zi Yanfei has handled them.

But that's impossible, and who is going to be at that conference to make themselves uncomfortable? So what's going on?

However, the opinions of the father and son are the same, it is inevitable that the Zi family will become a thief, but it is impossible to tell who it is, except for the Great Elder and the Second Elder, and whether there will be anyone else sneaking there, it is also impossible to consider.

"Father, in the past, the Great Elder was in charge of tidying up the secret room, right?"

The two pondered for a moment, but Zi Teng said something intentionally or unintentionally.

"You mean ......"

When Zi Yanfei heard this, his heart also moved, but he quickly dispelled his doubts and said, "No, every time the Great Elder finishes tidying up the secret room, the three of us will count it again at the same time, and there is never a single thing missing in it." ”

After speaking, he paused and said: "Although the Great Elder has always coveted the position of the head of the family, I believe that he will not steal the family's things, and this time, he is only responsible for opening the secret room together, and has not directly contacted the soul source jade. ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as he heard his father say this, Ziteng didn't want to say anything more, so he had to respond.

In fact, he wanted to remind Zi Yanfei that the Great Elder usually stays in the secret room for a long time, maybe there is something boring in it.

But under Zi Yanfei's lesson, he also felt that he really couldn't be too arbitrary, so he had to frown slightly, it seemed that he really couldn't find out anything for a while, and he could only investigate slowly in the future.

............

Early in the morning of the second day, Zi Teng had already joined Lin Ruoxue, and the two of them swept towards the direction of the Soul Martial Academy.

Qianlitai, at the top of Yunzhen Peak in the mountain behind the Soul Martial Academy, is six thousand meters above sea level, with a radius of three miles and three, and there is an octagonal plate with a diameter of about ten meters in the middle, it is said that this is the only teleportation array in Zhenzhou City, which can accommodate twenty-five people at a time.

Since the exit of the barrier of the Eastern Hidden Realm Zhenzhou City is eight hundred miles away from the north of Zhenzhou City, in order to save time, it is generally reached through the teleportation array.

When the two of them arrived at the Thousand Miles Terrace, there were already several people on the side of the octagonal plate, all of whom were surrounding a young man in Chinese costumes.

As soon as she saw the young man, Lin Ruoxue's little face immediately sank, and her little fists clenched fiercely.

Zi Teng just raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked his eyebrows with one hand, and grabbed Lin Ruoxue's small hand with the other hand and pinched it gently, holding the little hand in his palm, and then walked forward with a smile.

Seeing this, the faces of the young man in gorgeous clothes were already entangled together, and an evil gaze was fixed on the two of them, as if he wanted to kill the two with his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

It wasn't until the two of them slowly approached that the young man in the fancy dress stiffly relaxed his face, and said with a gloomy smile: "The two of you are a good concubine!"

"You want to care?"

Before Ziteng could speak, Lin Ruoxue said angrily, and then said with a cold face: "Duan Tianya, if you dare to be bad this time, don't blame your aunt and grandmother for being polite." ”

"Humph!"

It turned out that Duan Tianya was also among the trials, but after listening to Lin Ruoxue's words, he snorted lightly without care, pointed at Ziteng, and said with disdain: "If he is not here, what can you do to me?"

"You ......"

Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but feel angry when she heard this, and just wanted to speak, but was gently pinched by Zi Teng, and saw Zi Teng's brows tightened, and said in a deep voice: "Duan Tianya, you advise you to do less of that rooster and dog thief, if you dare to have bad intentions towards Ruoxue, even if it violates the rules of the trial, I will not let you feel good." ”

"Okay, let's see who's making it uncomfortable this time. ”

Duan Tianya didn't know what kind of confidence he had, so he openly shouted at Zi Teng, and after speaking, he glanced at Lin Ruoxue evilly, and said provocatively: "Don't let her be alone!"

After saying that, he walked away with a few people beside him, and hid not far away to plot.

Looking at these people, Zi Teng's brows furrowed slightly, he had already seen that there were actually two soul realm cultivators who were surrounded by Duan Tianya, who were obviously the senior class students who were in charge of guarding the work in this trial.
