The night was cool and the breeze was clear, and Lin Jue had been sitting on the mountain for two days. Looking into the distance with an empty gaze, he treats himself as a stone, so that there is no emotional tie.

In just a few days, he has experienced the ups and downs of life, first great joy and then great sorrow, which is a bit too heavy for him, who should be innocent and beautiful.

Sand ~ sand

The footsteps behind him gradually approached. You can guess who it is without looking back. Nangong Yan was confined. There were countless people in the whole house who wanted to kill him, but none of them were willing to come to visit him.

Yunhai was silent, sitting directly beside Lin Jue, quietly accompanying him to look at the inky black sky.

One old and one young, just sitting on the mountain wall, quietly watching the night scene, enjoying the quiet mysteries.

"The purpose of my senior's trip is to come to find me. Lin Jue didn't look at him, but asked lightly.

"Yes. Yun Hai replied very indifferently, and his gaze was stagnant.

"Nangong Mansion is my karma, or that stupid girl has become my karma. ”

"The 'silly girl' in the mouth of my predecessors is my mother. Lin Jue's words were insignificant, but they made Yun Hai's heart sink.

"How do you know?"

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "There is no other benefit to the rich house, that is, there are many people who chew the root of the tongue." I've lived here for eight years, and I still know something. After a pause, I couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what kind of person is my mother?"

Yunhai slowly looked up at the sky, and his thoughts drifted back to the distant past.

"That girl is extremely talented and has a very strong personality. Love will love very directly, and hate will be deep to the bone. When I took her as an apprentice, she was still an ignorant little girl, younger than you. ”

"Tell me more about it. ”

Yun Hai leaned over to look at him, and said softly:

"More than twenty years ago, the Nangong family was just a small family with no power in Sky City, barely making ends meet. It wasn't until your mother was born that it changed the pattern of the entire Nangong family, and even the entire Sky City. ”

"Nangong Fu actually has four children, in addition to Nangong Mu, Nangong Shan, and Nangong Tao, there is also a little daughter named Nangong Jing. ”

Lin couldn't help but sit up straight, it was the first time in so many years that he had heard his mother's name and her true past.

"This girl is unbeatable in cultivation. At the age of six, he independently concluded the Nebula of the Six Heavens, which caused a sensation in the entire Sky City. In a place like the Heavenly Dao Academy, where there are many geniuses, it is still outstanding. Fang Tao Li Nianhua is already the seventh grade of the star soul, and it is even more amazing to the world. And because of her, the entire Nangong family has risen from an ordinary small family to the head of the three major families in Sky City in just a few years, and she has been scolded everywhere. ”

Yun Hai's emotions gradually became a little excited, even though it had been many years, it still made him resentful in his heart.

"But that girl just met someone who harmed her life!"

Lin Jue listened quietly, but he was much calmer than Yunhai.

"Jing'er has only known that man for a few months, and she has had you. Getting pregnant before they got married, and it was not accepted by anyone in a place like Sky City. Nangong Fu and the others were furious when they learned about it, and the entire Sky City was also caught in the rumors. The scolding of the world and the scolding of the family made Jing'er, a child, bear unprecedented pressure. ”

Lin Jue clenched his fists, and he could feel his mother's despair and helplessness back then.

What made her even more disheartened was that when she gave birth to you in defiance of everyone's eyes, the man abandoned her at this time. This successive blows instantly crushed Jing'er. I heard that she was white-headed overnight. But in order not to be too affected by his own interests, Nangong Fu imprisoned her in the back mountain and blocked all news. Your existence is intolerable, and in order to keep you alive, your mother abolished herself to apologize for her sins. ”

"She also turned to me for help in the end, but I didn't understand, and instead reprimanded her for insulting the teacher......" Yun Hai's face was remorseful and hoarse. "Alas~ it's too late to say anything. ”

Looking at the vicissitudes of life with the white sideburns of the sea of clouds, Lin Jue said quietly: "It seems that the predecessors have not had a good time over the years. ”

Yunhai smiled sadly.

"It's all retribution. This incident has become a mental obstacle for me, and I have not been able to improve my cultivation for the past eight years. This time, I was meant to untie the knot, and I didn't want to get deeper and deeper. ”

Yun Hai looked at the young man beside him, thinking that after hearing these words, Lin Jue would be furious and at least sneer, but he was so calm. Curiously asked, "You already know your relationship with the Nangong family, why don't you break it?"

"There are things you should know and things you shouldn't. When I know something I shouldn't know, I pretend I don't know. ”

Others felt embarrassed when they heard this, but Yunhai's pupils lit up. He stiffened for a while.

"Come with me to the Heavenly Dao Academy. ”

When Lin Jue left Sky City, it was not as good as when he was born, and it was known to everyone in the city. Except for the people in the house who knew about it, no one knew. It's like it never happened, and it's gone.

Looking back on the years of living here, apart from Nangong Yan, the only one who took good care of him was the mother-in-law who sold fruits in the past. Before leaving, he went to say goodbye.

Mu Qing took Nangong Wen and Nangong Wu back two days ago. Yunhai is not in a hurry, and it is very pleasant to take a slow ride all the way.

The Nanchen Continent is divided into thirty-two realms and is ruled by the Nanchen Imperial Family. There are thousands of cities in each realm. Sky City is under the jurisdiction of the Violet Domain. Lin definitely didn't know how big a domain was, he didn't have that kind of concept, he hadn't left the mansion for half a day since he was a child, and for him, the world was only as big as Sky City.

The Heavenly Dao Academy is located outside the Sky City, three hundred miles to the south, in the middle of the lofty mountains. It is the highest-grade school in the jurisdiction, and as long as it is a Heavenly Mandate cultivator, no one is fascinated by it. There is a hard condition for this academy to recruit disciples, they must be disciples of Sky City.

After seven days of walking according to the wheel, Lin Jue and the two finally arrived at the foot of the Tiandao Academy. It was the first time he had trekked on horseback, and it was as if all his internal organs had shifted their places.

The mountain road is steep, and the next road can only walk into the mountain, and after walking for half a day, the sea of clouds and Lin Jue came to not the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Academy, but a mountain col with lush forests. More than 100 people, old and young, have gathered here. The sharp-eyed man recognized the identity of Yunhai and hurriedly bowed deeply.

The sea of clouds is slightly bowed, which can be regarded as a gift. Then he said a little depressedly:

"It's still early to wander all the way, and before you pass the assessment, you are not yet a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy, so you can't go in directly. It just so happens that the biennial assessment is still a few days away, so let's wait here. ”

After Yunhai finished speaking, he found a flat rocky ground and sat down directly. Lin Jue also closed his eyes on the side, and by the way, he studied the star technique he had just obtained.

Over the next few days, more and more people gathered here. They are all school-age children of various families in Sky City, and they came to participate in the assessment under the leadership of the elders in the clan. Seeing the sea of clouds meditating here, everyone stepped forward to salute and greet them, and they wanted to be close, but seeing that the sea of clouds was silent, they could only leave in a huff.

In a crowd of people, Lin Jue saw a few acquaintances. Nangong Tao also came to Cihu with his son and daughter, and the three of them also noticed his presence, and Lin Jue smiled back. For this so-called uncle, he has no feelings. Although he was cared for in the house, he was never embarrassed, and his two children, Nangong Lin and Nangong Yu, were also the same.

There were more and more people, and the huge meadow outside the entire dense forest was full of eight or nine hundred people. However, less than half of the children participated in the assessment. Everyone is the same age as Lin Jue, the entire Sky City has a population of tens of millions, and so many Heavenly Mandate cultivators can come out in two years. It's not easy. It's just that among these hundreds of people, only a few can really become strong, or even none.

Poop!

Early in the morning of the fifth day, the morning sun first appeared. A bell rang from the distant mountain. Immediately after that, in the depths of the forest, a white figure stepped on the young branches of the tree and flew over, with an elegant posture and a lonely and arrogant figure.

"Wow, that guy can fly!"

"That's handsome! ”

There was a commotion in the col, and the boys and girls all exclaimed, their eyes shining golden, and they worshipped. Lin Jue was also surprised to see it.

The man only took a few breaths before he fell in front of everyone, and his white robe was not stained with the slightest morning dew. He was a white-faced boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a white robe is embroidered with the word "wood".

The young man saw the sea of clouds, saluted slightly, and then said to everyone.

"In Xia Feng Liang, he is a third-level disciple of the Wood in the 'Wood' Branch of the Heavenly Dao Academy. In order not to let some people fish in troubled waters and waste everyone's time, before the formal assessment, this door has arranged a small test for you. ”

The boy said, pointing to the dense woods behind him.

"If you want to enter the mountain gate, you must first go through its suffering. This forest is about fifty miles deep, and it is a natural barrier to the main gate, and you can see the gate of the Heavenly Dao Courtyard through it. Although there is no formation in this formation, it is stocked with vipers and insects and some evil beast spirits. If there is any accident on the way, the Heavenly Dao Academy will not care about it and will not come to the rescue. ”

"I don't want to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy!"

"Grandpa, I'm afraid, I want to go home. ”

......

When several little girls heard that there would be poisonous snakes and spirits in the forest, their faces turned pale with fright, and they were all about to cry. Hurriedly prayed to the elders beside him.

Feng Liang, the child of this pampered family, has seen a lot. Seeing the worried looks of the crowd, the smile on his face became even stronger. "Those who have not come out of the forest before dark will be disqualified from the assessment. Tiandao Academy is not a book building amusement park, I advise you young ladies and young masters, it is better to think clearly before entering. ”

After saying that, he turned and swept towards the forest, regardless of what the others decided.

Then the whole col came alive.

There are those who roll on the ground and are reluctant to go in for assessment, there are those who cry and pretend to be pitiful and pray, and those elders who are anxious are as big as a fight, and they are persuaded bitterly. Of course, there are also many brave children who can't wait to break into the forest.

Lin Jue stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and prepared to go.

"I'll wait for you outside the hospital, don't embarrass Jing'er. Yun Hai closed his eyes and said lightly.

"Never. ”

Lin Jue's figure flashed, and he rushed directly into the dense forest along the crowd.
