The smile on the old pavilion master's face suddenly froze, and a touch of crimson appeared on his old face in a panic, how strange and strange the scene was.

The old pavilion master was speechless for a while, slapped Leng Ning with his elbow, and said softly: "How do you know......?"

Leng Ning approached and made a silent gesture, winked at the old pavilion master, turned to Yuan Chong, and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, how are you?"

"I'm fine, a little bit of a wound. Leng Ning, I am really impressed with you! You are not only good at kung fu, but also have such a thorough understanding of the relationship between men and women, one day you teach me, I always feel that I am still a little lacking in theory in this regard. ”

Leng Ning smiled: "Okay, let's study it together one day." Senior Brother Yuan Chong, why don't you send Senior Sister Xuanyi back?"

Before Yuan Chong could answer, Leng Xuanyi jumped next to Leng Ning and said with a smile: "Let's send it to Leng Ning, there are so many suitors, I have to test them one by one." ”

Looking at Leng Xuanyi's smile, Leng Ning knew that she was joking, and then made a helpless expression and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, there is no way, Senior Brother is going to win people's love." ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Yuan Chong pretended to be angry and patted Leng Ning's back and shouted.

Leng Xuanyi took Leng Ning's arm and walked out, Leng Ning turned around and smiled at the old pavilion master, suddenly remembered something, glanced at the woman behind the old pavilion master, and then was dragged out of the hall by Leng Xuanyi.

The crowd dispersed, and the Bafang Heavenly Light Pavilion returned to calm.

The old pavilion master slowly walked out of the Tianguang Pavilion and walked onto the tree-lined path next to the Vientiane Pavilion.

"This senior brother, you've been with me for a long time, what's the matter?"

"Xiaoxue, did you find me because of Leng Ning's reminder?"

The woman behind her walked forward slowly, her whole body shaking, and a tall and handsome man appeared.

Dressed in white, holding a folding fan, smiling.

"Young Master of the Qin League?" Lu Xue also showed his true face, saw the man in white, and bowed.

"Hurry up, I don't have to. Qin Meng stretched out his hand to help Lu Xue up.

"Young master, how can you ......" Lu Xue bowed her head and said.

"I'm here to see you. Qin Meng looked at Lu Xue's picturesque eyebrows, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.

"Look at my ......" Lu Xue's head was lowered.

"Hmm. Qin Meng walked up to Lu Xue's side, smiled and motioned for her to walk together, took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoxue, you should feel my heart." ”

Qin Meng paused and continued: "If it weren't for Leng Ning Zhongyuan's business today, I might come over to see you a few times and then go back, as I do every time." I found that Leng Ning's words were very reasonable, and the admiration for the beloved should have been dealt with. If you blindly cover it up, it is not refreshing enough. Did you say yes?"

"I ......"

"I'm not in a hurry to ask you for answers, I'm just asking you to give me a chance, a chance to play fair. ”

"Fair competition?" Lu Xue was speechless for a while, and began to scold Leng Ning secretly in her heart.

"Xiaoxue, I really hope that you and I can get along like you brothers and sisters......"

"Young master, I haven't had that mind, no matter who it is. Now I just want to improve myself quickly, to remove the shame of the family as soon as possible, and to save my father. ”

"Xiaoxue, I understand your feelings. You are extremely talented, and I will do my best to help you. However, don't be too hasty in your cultivation, and protect your body, not only for you, but also for your clansmen. ”

"Hmm. Lu Xue's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

When the New Year's Day comes, every courtyard of Tianguang Pavilion is full of lights, and each pavilion master must be dressed neatly in the morning, and go to the training hall to pay New Year's greetings to the senior brother, and the senior brother will distribute a gift to each disciple according to everyone's performance this year.

Leng Ning got up early, Xiao Mu took care of her, and after breakfast, she went to Tianguang Pavilion.

On the way, Leng Ning met Lu Xue by chance.

"Senior sister is so beautiful today, I got a new pair of earrings. Leng Ning tilted his head and said.

Because we have been practicing together for a few months, we are already very familiar with each other. Leng Ning found that this nine-day fairy-like senior sister was actually not cold, especially for herself, she was very easy-going.

Lu Xue's face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "Talking nonsense every day, am I just beautiful today?" Because I don't usually say such witty words, I couldn't help laughing before I finished speaking.

"It should be said that Senior Sister Lu Xue is beautiful every day, and she is especially beautiful today. Leng Ning replied with a smile.

"Leng Ning, I'm less than a year older than you, don't call me senior sister, I feel a lot older. Lu Xue frowned.

"Then I'll call you Cher, how about it?"

Just call me Lu Xue, just like you usually call Yuan Chong. ”

"Okay, Lu Xue, what gift do you think Senior Brother Dexing will give us?"

"Everyone is different, because I have been practicing secret weapons, and last year Senior Brother Dexing gave me a pair of silkworm gold silk gloves. ”

"Oh. ”

"Leng Ning, what gift do you want to get?"

"I, if I have a choice, I hope to get a Bodhi Dan, my Xiaoyao Gong has been making slow progress recently, and I really want to have another Bodhi Pill to help with cultivation. ”

"Bodhi Dan, I'm afraid it's impossible, the cultivation pill of the Dan Palace is very precious, and the hall masters won't get it easily. Don't worry, how can you practice so fast. You've only been here for a few months, what's the hurry. Do you know how long Senior Brother Tian Bo has been in Vientiane Pavilion?" Lu Xue asked softly, Leng Ning shook his head.

"Eighteen years, he has already cultivated with five hall master senior brothers, and his illusion has already been cultivated, but he has never been able to break through the third layer of the Xiaoyaogong ground. ”

"Eighteen years?" Leng Ning secretly thought that he and Xuan'er boasted about Haikou at the beginning, but now it seems that there are really too many uncertainties on the road to the promotion of the hall master.

Seven brothers in the hall, neatly bowed for the Lord of Dexing Hall to pay New Year's greetings, the Lord of Dexing Hall was full of joy, for everyone to send the New Year's expectations, and to give everyone a gift.

Lu Xue got a set of medium-level spirit-level weapons "Xuantie Plum Blossom Needle", Yuan Chong got a medium-level spirit-level sword "Yin-Yang Qiushui Sword", and the other four people each got a medium-level spirit-level protective gear.

Only Leng Ning got a token, the book "pioneering", the master of the Dexing Hall said to Leng Ning: "Every year, disciples above the Vientiane Pavilion can participate in a pioneer training, and your senior brothers and sisters have already participated in the previous year, but because you came late, you didn't participate." In two days, the Lord of the Zhengguang Hall will lead the outstanding disciples who joined the Vientiane Pavilion in the second half of the year to make up for the pioneer training, and I will win a place for you. Every year is a great opportunity to improve yourself in a dangerous situation, so you need to prepare well and strive for breakthroughs. ”

"Yes!" Leng Ning agreed.

Walking out of the Tianguang Pavilion, Yuan Chong said to Leng Ning: "Pioneering is indeed a good opportunity to improve your skills, but it is also very dangerous. This time, you will go alone, you must follow the hall master who leads the team, be more familiar with the people who are traveling with you, and cooperate with each other when fighting. Every year, there are disciples who are seriously injured or even killed, and we must not take it lightly. ”

Leng Ning asked, "Where are you going to go to experience pioneering?"

Yuan Chong said: "There is an ancient forest in the east of Tiandu Mangshan Mountain, called Tianmang Secret Forest. There are countless demon beasts living in the forest, and the palace master and several young masters have set up a large forbidden formation at the edge of the Tianmang Secret Forest to prevent the demon beasts in the forest from going out to cause trouble. However, there will still be some small monsters that evade the ban and go to the vicinity of the secret forest.

There is a woodland called Barbarian Ridge on the side near the Xiaoyao Palace, and every year, the hall master senior brother will lead the first-level disciples of the pavilion master to the Barbarian Ridge to pioneer the wilderness, that is, to strangle the demon beasts that escaped. ”

Leng Ning nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the Barbarian Ridge, like the Seven Demon Caves, is a place where demon beasts live. ”

Tian Bo, who was walking by, looked at Leng Ning and said, "Senior Brother Leng Ning actually knows about the Seven Evil Caves? That is a place where only disciples at the level of the hall master can cultivate." ”

Leng Ning arched his hand and said: "Senior Brother Tian Bo, when I was in Jiang Haixuan, I fell into a trap, and I once broke through there by mistake, and I was rescued by the two hall master brothers before I got out, so I only knew the location of the Seven Evil Caves. ”

Tian Bo nodded and said, "That Seven Evil Caves is an excellent first-level disciple of the hall master, and before entering the Tianmang Secret Forest to capture the spirit beast with him, he will practice his beast-catching skills. The demon beasts in the First Evil Cave to the Third Demon Cave were all captured in the Wild Ridge, and the demon beasts in the Fourth Evil Cave to the Seven Demon Caves were captured from the Tianmang Secret Forest.

Although there are very few demon beasts that are more than a hundred years old in the Barbarian Mountains, there are still a lot of demon beasts that are fifty or sixty years old, especially the attacking demon beasts such as the Mang Bear, the Sword Tiger, and the Black Blade Bull, as well as the three-headed ice snake, the leather armored lizard, and the powerful demon beasts such as the murderous Bai Feng, which are all extremely dangerous. ”

Fourth Senior Brother Duan Qi also approached Leng Ning, rolled up his sleeves, and saw a shocking scar from his shoulder to his forearm, Duan Qi said: "Senior Brother Leng Ning, this scar was scratched by a reckless bear in the Wild Ridge the year before last, if it weren't for Senior Brother Tian Bo's desperate efforts to save me, I'm afraid I would be crippled." ”

"Be careful, but don't scare Leng Ning. Du Erqin laughed loudly: "This is Leng Ning's first time to go to the wilderness, as long as he doesn't charge first in the battle, there will be basically no big problem." Although the Lord of the Zhengguang Hall does not always lead the team, his free and invincible stick has a reputation for sweeping the world. And Leng Ning's escape technique is so good, he is too worried about it. ”

Leng Ning smiled and nodded: "After listening to everyone's introduction, I probably have a score in my heart, and I must be more careful when I enter the Wild Ridge." ”

As soon as I returned to the 17th Vientiane Pavilion, the notice of the pioneer was delivered. The document explained that early the next morning, he gathered at the main gate of the Bafang Tianguang Pavilion and went to the Barbarian Ridge, and the senior brother who led the team did not change, it was the master of the Zhengguang Palace, and a total of nine people participated in this pioneering.

After dinner, Leng Ning was playing chess with a few concubines, but he didn't expect Lu Xue to come.
