Deserted Tower, Heavenly Deserted Pavilion.

This is the residence of the tower lord of the barren tower for generations, but at this moment it is shrouded in a strong and suffocating sadness, whether it is those who do chores or the guards are sad at the moment, the reason is very simple, the current wife of the tower lord of the barren tower Zhong Lihan's condition suddenly deteriorated, and she is already in a state of dying, the wife of the tower master is generous and benevolent, strict with herself, but she treats her subordinates with harmony without the slightest shelf, this kind of mentality is extremely rare in this last days, so everyone in the Tianhuang Pavilion is grateful from the bottom of their hearts for this lady。

However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, good people are not rewarded, just a year ago, Mrs. suddenly got a strange disease, the vitality in the body is constantly passing, no matter what method Hong Yuan used, how many alchemy masters were invited failed to cure his wife, and finally in desperation had to use his own strong source power to renew Zhong Lihan's life, fortunately, Zhong Lihan himself is also a king-level powerhouse, strong strength, and finally with the help of Hong Yuan and several elders, temporarily saved his life, but today, the disease broke out again, and the life loss was more serious, and it was about to die。

"What's the matter, why hasn't the tower master come back yet! Madame is like this, how can he still have the heart to do something else. A gray-haired old man kept pacing back and forth in the hall, stopping from time to time and turning his head to look in the direction of Zhong Lihan in the inner room, looking quite anxious, and finally pulled a subordinate over, and shouted in a low voice that was a little irrational.

The old man's name is Han Zheng, he is the chief butler of the Heavenly Desolate Pavilion, and he is also the chief deacon of the Desolate Tower Branch, he is usually strict, he has a lot of prestige in the Desolate Tower, and the tower master Hong Yuan is a good brother of life and death, but now he has always been steady, but he is a little anxious, after all, Zhong Lihan is the biggest weakness in the heart of his old friend, he doesn't dare to imagine what will become of his old friend if Zhong Lihan dies.

"Lord Hui, today is the day when the Deserted Tower recruits newcomers, I heard that there is a talented candidate, the tower owner hurried over when he heard the letter, and he has sent someone to inform the tower master half an hour ago, I believe that it will not be long before the tower master will come back. A commander in a black, tight-fitting light armor replied.

"Newcomer?" Han Zheng frowned when he heard this, snorted fiercely, and had a little bit of hatred for iron and steel, paused, and continued, "What kind of newcomer can compare to Madame's condition, can't you let those people below, his former apprentice was also ...... when he first reported Alas......"

In the end, Han Zheng's voice gradually became quieter, and finally sighed deeply helplessly, it seems that he obviously knows something about Hong Yuan's disciples, Hong Yuan and Zhong Lihan have no children in their lives, so they treat that disciple as their own child, and they are extremely spoiled, and that disciple did not disappoint him, and in just a few years, he stepped from the level of a desolate scholar to the grandmaster, but in the end, he was inexplicably killed in an outing, and finally found out that he was killed by a group of small shrimps of three sects and nine streams, although in the end Hong Yuan turned those people into ashes in a fit of anger, but he always felt that this matter was not so simple, there should be a bigger black hand, but there was no evidence, and in the end, it was gone, which also became a thorn in Hong Yuan's heart.

"That's it, now I can only hope that he will come back soon, there is a way to curb his wife's condition, otherwise ......" Han Zheng did not say the latter sentence, obviously if he couldn't even help Hong Yuan, then Zhong Lihan's life would definitely not be saved.

Waving his hand a little tiredly, Han Zheng dismissed everyone, turned around and sat down on a chair, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head, and sighed again.

......

in the assessment venue.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a golden pillar of light that was a foot wide rose into the sky, rising continuously, and finally broke through the sky directly.

"Hahaha, Ye Lai, good job, I'm afraid you are the only one with this kind of talent throughout the ages!" Looking at the golden pillar of light that connected the heavens and the earth, Hong Yuan laughed heartily, and did not hesitate to praise Ye Lai, even Ye Ying on the side had two eyes bent into a pair of crescents at the moment, her delicate lips were slightly upturned, and her appearance was quite smart and cute.

"The teacher has passed the award, I should have passed this assessment, right?" Ye Lai finally walked down from a high platform covered with barren lines, he didn't have any special opinion on his grades, it might not be a good thing to be too outstanding, but he couldn't refute the teacher's face, so he had to laugh.

"Of course, the next step is the final test of perseverance, haha, it's really exciting. Looking at Ye Lai, who slowly walked down from the stage, Hong Yuan's old face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit, since his wife had a strange illness, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

However, at this very moment.

"Report to the tower master, the big thing is not good, the lady's condition has suddenly deteriorated, the situation is very bad, please return to the Tianhuang Pavilion immediately!"

"What!!......! Hurry up and ......" I saw that Hong Yuan's figure suddenly staggered after hearing the news, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes, he knew that this time his wife was afraid that it would be more than lucky, and the joy that came from Ye Lai's talent disappeared in an instant, and he anxiously wanted to rush to the Heavenly Desolate Pavilion, but his body did not obey the call for a while.

Ye Lai, who came slowly on the side, was also shocked when he heard this, Shi Niang was critically ill? What is going on, and then a trace of deep sympathy flashed in his eyes, and it can be seen from the teacher's performance that he is definitely a person who values love and righteousness, if Shi Niang is so unfortunate to go, the teacher he ......

Although he had just met the teacher today, Ye Lai still had some sympathy and respect for this teacher in his heart, and immediately thought about whether there was any way to help, and then his eyes lit up suddenly, and he remembered a formation attached to the yellow stone, a formation composed of ancient desolate patterns, maybe you can try it!

All kinds of thoughts flashed, thinking of this, Ye Lai hurriedly took a few steps forward, pulled down the teacher, and said hurriedly: "Teacher, please let me go too, I have some methods that may be able to help, but if there is a little hope, we can't give up." Ye Lai also saw the despair in the teacher's eyes, and felt a little tricky in his heart, it seems that the teacher's illness is not so simple, otherwise he would not be helpless with the teacher's strength, and he doesn't know if the yellow stone has any effect.

There was some drumming in his heart, but when he thought that the stone might be a treasure from the ancient period, he immediately felt a little more confident, and looking at Hong Yuan's eyes, Ye Lai urged again: "Teacher, let's go, otherwise it will be too late!"

"Yes, yes, go quickly, you can't give up!" Hong Yuan was shocked by Ye Lai's words, and made up his mind that he would save his wife's life no matter what, even if he let him change his life for a life, as for Ye Lai's way, he automatically ignored it, in his opinion, even if Ye Lai has any way, it is just a child's trick, but he is still a little relieved by Ye Lai's heart, in fact, today's acceptance of Ye Lai as an apprentice is more to make up for the regrets of the past, Ye Lai is actually more of a substitute for that person's shadow, and Ye Lai's concern makes him feel a little more about it。

As soon as he thought of this, he no longer hesitated too much, and suddenly rolled up his big sleeves, and the brother and sister turned into a streamer and quickly swept towards the distance.

......

Five minutes later, the Heavenly Wilderness Pavilion.

Feeling the speed of the wind and lightning all the way, the speed of dozens of miles in an instant, made Ye Lai once again have a deep understanding of the teacher's strength in his heart, the Tianhuang Pavilion where Hong Yuan lives is far away from the landmark building of the Wild Tower, but with Hong Yuan's speed, a back and forth is just a nap time.

"The tower master is back!" The people below suddenly caught a glimpse of the streamer in the sky, and immediately shouted excitedly, and then the news spread rapidly, causing a small sensation.

didn't have time to deal with those people with excited faces, Hong Yuan hurriedly rushed into the Tianhuang Pavilion with the Ye Lai brothers and sisters, and rushed towards the direction where the lady was.

"You old thing, you can be regarded as back!" As soon as Hong Yuan stopped, he saw Han Zheng coming up, Han Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and did not forget to scold angrily, he was a little angry in his heart, glanced at the Ye Lai brothers and sisters behind Hong Yuan, frowned, and understood that this should be the talented boy, it was he who delayed his old friend's time, and suddenly had a bad impression of Ye Lai for no reason, glanced at Ye Lai coldly, snorted, and then walked in the direction of the inner room.

"That's what this old guy is, don't be afraid. Hong Yuan turned his head and instructed Ye Lai, and hurriedly followed, and the Ye Lai brothers and sisters looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered the room, Ye Lai didn't care about admiring the gorgeous decorations here, and hurriedly looked towards a wide and comfortable bed, only to see a haggard figure sitting up with difficulty at the moment, seeing Ye Lai's eyes smiling kindly at him, then he turned his head to Hong Yuan and smiled softly: "You're back, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Hong Yuan's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he carefully grabbed Zhong Lihan's somewhat withered hand and clenched it tightly in his palm, and whispered like a child who had made a mistake: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my useless ......"

"No, it's all fate, your personality is too strong, and sooner or later you will suffer, if I leave, you will resign from the position of the tower master and live the rest of your life well......" Zhong Lihan stretched out a hand and gently touched Hong Yuan's face, comforting, his voice was soft as if he was saying a trivial matter.

Ye Lai looked at Zhong Lihan in front of him carefully, judging from the contours of his face, his person should be very beautiful, although he is old and has a different charm, but unfortunately he has been tossed by the disease at the moment.

"No...... Don't ......" Hong Yuan was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and almost jumped up, his voice became a little choked because of trembling, "Don't go, what should I do if you leave......

"Fool, how can people not die, but one day sooner or later......" Zhong Lihan's words were to comfort Hong Yuan, for the existence of their strength, as long as there is no accident, the lifespan is extremely long.
