It is a steep cliff, isolated from the peaks, surrounded by thin clouds, and looking down from it, you feel like you have climbed this mountain and become small. At this time, there happened to be a middle-aged man standing here, his face was as sharp as a knife, his eyes were cold and chilling, and the most special thing was the high hooked nose, which people couldn't forget when they saw it.

That's right, this middle-aged man is Yang Zheng who was rescued by Xiong Fei and others. I saw him with his hands behind his back, his body standing tall as a pine, looking at the peaks under his feet and not knowing what he was thinking. It turned out that when he intersected with Chu Yuan's fists and claws that day, Chu originally had the upper hand, but he suddenly retracted his strength, and finally died under his own claws.

"Brother, are you feeling guilty about Brother Chu's affairs again? You are not what Brother Chu wants to see. A woman walked from behind Yang Zheng and said worriedly.

This woman is a young woman, dressed in a pale yellow dress, her black and soft hair is casually draped over her shoulders, and her snow-white face has a pair of big eyes that are extremely smart. is really an out-and-out pretty woman, but the woman's face is a little unnatural, and there seems to be a lingering melancholy color between her eyebrows. The weak figure and light pace make people can't help but rise the desire to hug it into their arms and protect it.

"Xiaoying, it's windy here, why did you come up. Yang Zheng turned around and walked to the woman's side, and blamed with a worried face.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm much better now, and occasionally coming up to see the scenery and breathing may be better for my body." Yang Ying didn't care about Yang Zheng's blame, and took Yang Zheng's hand and said with a smile.

Yang Ying didn't wait for Yang Zheng to speak, and continued: "Brother, since you came back, I have found that you have become more silent. I've already heard about that from Brother Xiong, so why do you continue to torture yourself. ”

"Girl, I know that your eldest brother Chu is doing this because he is afraid that you will have no one to take care of me after I die, and I also understand his good intentions. But whenever I think of the tragic death of my husband and wife in front of me, leaving only one child alone, how can I let go of my brother's feelings. Yang Zheng's words were calm, but there was obviously a hint of pain in his eyes.

Yang Ying is Yang Zheng's sister and the only relative. She was born with blocked meridians all over her body, and she was unable to practice the exercises and absorb spiritual energy. When she was a child, she was seriously injured due to Yang Zheng's negligence, which caused her to be in poor health, if it weren't for Yang Zheng's careful care and looking for all kinds of elixirs to nourish her, maybe she would have been gone.

Yang Zheng knows very well that in this world of the jungle, if there is no protection from himself, Yang Ying will definitely not be able to survive, so he must live, no matter what.

"Brother......

Before Yang Ying could speak, Yang Zheng interrupted her: "Okay, Xiaoying, don't worry about being a brother, let's go down quickly." ”

Yang Ying knew that this matter could not be relieved by a few words of comfort from herself, so she could only helplessly follow Yang Zheng back to the cave.

Next to the wooden house where Chu Yuan and his wife lived, Chu Yunfan knelt in front of a brand-new tombstone, but there was not a single tear on his face, not that he was not sad enough, but that the tears had long since dried up.

Li Yibai stood quietly behind Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan had been kneeling here for a whole day, and Li Yibai had also stood quietly for a day. Although this was a bit cruel for a thirteen-year-old boy, he knew that no one could help Chu Yunfan, so he could only stand up on his own and cross this threshold.

Li Yibai still remembered that when he returned to the wooden house with the corpses of Chu Yuan and his wife, Chu Yunfan's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and the whole person suddenly went berserk, turning into a terrifying white-haired giant ape, wreaking havoc and destroying everywhere, completely losing his mind. Li Yibai had no choice but to make a move, and it took a lot of effort to restrain him.

In fact, this was Chu Yunfan's first demonization in thirteen years, and it was actually caused by the fact that his bloodline was violent and he couldn't control himself under the stimulation of external forces. After turning into a giant ape, Chu Yunfan completely lost his mind, and all that was left was endless killing and destruction.

Chu Yunfan suddenly stood up from the ground, turned to Li Yibai and bowed: "Uncle Li, please accept me as an apprentice." ”

Li Yibai paused for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Xiaofan, your parents have entrusted you to me, I will teach you carefully, you don't need to worship me as a teacher." ”

"Uncle Li, please take me as an apprentice in front of my parents. When I succeed in cultivation one day, I will avenge my parents. Chu Yunfan pleaded again, although he was young and had little contact with the outside world, he still knew that only by worshipping the master would the master teach you all the true skills.

"Hey, you kid. Li Yibai sighed and said, how could he not understand Chu Yunfan's careful thoughts, although he didn't mean to accept Chu Yunfan as an apprentice, but he would also treat Chu Yunfan as his own apprentice to teach carefully. However, since Chu Yunfan spoke, in order not to let him be careful, Li Yibai decided to agree.

"Okay, from today onwards, you will be the seventh disciple of my sect. But I want you to remember that your parents only want you to live a peaceful and happy life, and if you can't let go of the revenge obsession in your heart, you will regret it later. ”

"Disciple Chu Yunfan visits Master. As soon as Li Yibai's voice fell, Chu Yunfan bowed his head again and said respectfully.

Looking at Chu Yunfan in front of him, Li Yibai knew that he didn't listen to what he said, and he didn't know whether the obsession with revenge in his heart was good or bad, maybe it was his motivation to move forward, or maybe it was his inner demon. After all, everyone has his own fate, so why force it.

"You go and pack up your things, and then go back to Qingyun Peak with your teacher. Li Yibai said lightly.

"The disciple doesn't have anything to pack up anymore. Chu Yunfan rubbed the light purple spiritual void ring on his right index finger, which was left to him by his father Chu Yuan, and it contained all the wealth and treasures of Chu Yuan. Of course, in addition to this spiritual void ring, there is only the jade lock that his mother has hung around his neck since he was a child.

"In that case, let's go. Li Yibai waved his sleeves, and a stream of spiritual power surged towards Chu Yunfan, holding up Chu Yunfan's body and flying towards the Zixiao Sect.

The Zixiao faction used to be the strongest sect in Qingzhou, with strong people and talents. However, with the passage of time, today's Zixiao faction is no longer the overlord of Qingzhou today. Although the Zixiao faction is not as good as before, it is still one of the several major sects in Qingzhou, and its strength should not be underestimated. At present, Qingzhou is divided and divided by several major sects, and everyone wants to suppress the other, and everyone wants to become the overlord of Qingzhou.

Qingyun Peak is one of the more unique places in the Zixiao Sect, because this is the cultivation place of Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Yibai. When Li Yibai had not yet accepted Chu Yunfan as a disciple, there were only six disciples under his seat, and the disciples often went out to practice, and the other disciples in the sect did not dare to go to this Qingyun Peak at will. Therefore, the huge Qingyun Peak is deserted all year round, and it cannot be compared with the grandeur of other Spirit Peaks.

"Second Senior Sister, what did you say Master was going out for this time? The cultivation of the family finally broke through to the realm of returning to the void, and when he came back, he wanted to make his old man happy, but he was nowhere to be seen for several days. In Qingyun Peak, a girl in a goose yellow dress tilted her head and asked casually to the purple-clothed woman next to her.

"You, if you don't go to cultivation yet, I won't scold you when Master comes back. The woman in purple shook her head and said with a smile.

"Second Senior Sister, what's so fun about cultivating every day, I'm bored to death. I don't want to practice day and night like the third senior brother, and only he can enjoy cultivation, I really don't know how he survived, if I couldn't stand it a long time ago. The woman in yellow pouted.

"Feiyun, you don't cultivate well, you are lazy every day, and you dare to speak ill of your third senior brother behind your back, it seems that you can't be punished for the sake of the teacher. Just as the woman in yellow finished speaking, Li Yibai's voice came from behind.

The woman in yellow is Li Yibai's sixth disciple Yan Feiyun, and the woman in purple is Li Yibai's second disciple Liu Mingyue. Yan Feiyun is lively and active by nature, and she is very cute, and only when she is there, this Qingyun Peak will be a little more popular, so she is deeply loved by Li Yibai and other senior brothers and sisters.

"Ah, Master, why are you back, and you are still eavesdropping. Hmph......" Yan Feiyun turned around following the voice, and at a glance saw Li Yibai and Chu Yunfan walking from behind him.

"The apprentice has seen Master. Different from Yan Feiyun's casualness, Liu Mingyue respectfully saluted Li Yibai.

"Mingyue, the teacher said that you don't have to care so much about these cumbersome etiquette, you just don't change it. Li Yibai said with a smile.

"Master, who is this little boy next to you?" Liu Mingyue did not continue to pick up Li Yibai's topic, but instead asked about Chu Yunfan's origin.

"This is Chu Yunfan, the newly accepted apprentice of the teacher, that is, your seventh junior brother. Xiao Fan, I have seen your second senior sister and sixth senior sister. ”

Under Li Yibai's introduction, Chu Yunfan knew that the woman in purple in front of him was his second senior sister Liu Mingyue, and the woman in yellow was his sixth senior sister Yan Feiyun.

"Yun Fan has seen the second senior sister and the sixth senior sister. Chu Yunfan bowed his hand to Liu Mingyue and Yan Feiyun and said respectfully.

"Ha, I finally became a senior sister, I thought that the master would never accept apprentices again. Yan Feiyun immediately smiled happily after hearing this, "Come, junior brother, this is a welcome gift from senior sister." ”

Yan Feiyun flipped his right hand and took out a fiery red bead from the Spirit Void Ring. The bead was half the size of a fist, round and smooth, and the fiery red color on the bead was like a living thing, flowing slowly on the surface of the bead. Although Chu Yunfan didn't know what this thing was, he knew from the surprised expression of the second senior sister and Li Yibai's slightly moved expression that this bead was not simple.

"Senior sister's kindness Yun Fan has received it, but this gift is too valuable, and I hope that senior sister will take it back. After Chu Yunfan settled down, he said slowly.

"Senior brother, senior sister has a lot of treasures, you must accept this fire bead. Yan Feiyun didn't wait for Chu Yunfan to speak, and stuffed it directly into his hand.

"Xiaofan, since it was given to you by your senior sister, you can accept it. Seeing this, Li Yibai spoke.

Although such strange things as fire-repelling beads do not have particularly strong power and can only play some auxiliary roles, they are scarce, even if you look at the entire Kyushu, there are only a hundred fire-repelling beads. If there is a fire bead in the body, the ordinary flame will not be able to get close to it at all, and even some strange fire will be greatly reduced.

"That Yun Fan has thanked the sixth senior sister. Now that Li Yibai has spoken, Chu Yunfan will no longer continue to prevaricate.

"Your second senior sister and I are not as rich as your sixth senior sister, you should not have the weapon to take advantage of now that you are just getting started, this thunder sword is what I got before, so I have the right to give it to you as a meeting gift." Liu Mingyue casually took out a long sword from her Spirit Void Ring and handed it to Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan knew that he couldn't excuse himself, so he didn't bother to excuse himself, and directly took the long sword: "Thank you, Second Senior Sister." ”

Chu Yunfan took the long sword and took a closer look, but saw that the sword was two feet and seven inches long, the sword body was very simple and concise, without any superfluous embellishments, and the sword body with a faint cold light made people know at a glance that it was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.

"Master, we have all given the little junior brother a greeting gift, what treasure are you going to give to the little junior brother? And I have broken through to the realm of returning to the void this time, should you also give me some reward, hehe......" Yan Feiyun grabbed Li Yibai's arm and said coquettishly.

"As a teacher, I will help your junior brother choose an exercise suitable for him in the next few days, as for you, there is nothing, go back to practice. Li Yibai laughed after finishing speaking.

Li Yibai was really happy, and the scene in front of him made him very pleased. In addition to talent, he attaches more importance to character when accepting disciples, counting Chu Yunfan, he only has seven disciples after so many years. How can we not be happy to see the disciples so united and fraternal now?

"Master, why don't you lend me the Linglong Pagoda for a few days? Yan Feiyun continued to be unrelenting.

"Take your girl, take it. Li Yibai flipped his right hand, took out a long sword, and handed it to Yan Feiyun, "This Qingying Sword has also made a lot of contributions to the teacher back then, and now it will be given to you." ”

"Master, you are so stingy, you use such a low-grade magic weapon to fool others. Yan Feiyun pouted and complained, but the movements in her hand were not slow at all, and she quickly took over the Qingying Sword from Li Yibai's hand, as if someone would rob her.

Li Yibai shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Okay, go and help your junior brother find a suitable exercise for the teacher, and you can bring your junior brother to get familiar with our Zixiao faction." ”

"Master, don't worry, junior brother will be handed over to us. Before Liu Mingyue could speak, Yan Feiyun had already preemptively spoken.

"Well, then the teacher will go in first. After Li Yibai finished speaking, he strode towards the Qingyun Palace.

"Let's go, junior brother, senior sister will take you to visit our Zixiao faction first, as for our Qingyun Peak, you will be familiar with it after living for a long time in the future, there is nothing fun. After seeing Li Yibai leave, Yan Feiyun turned his head and said to Chu Yunfan.

"That's troublesome for the two senior sisters. Chu Yunfan could feel that the two senior sisters were really good to him, and they were completely like relatives, without the slightest pretentiousness.

Jealousy is one of the sources of sin and the origin of right and wrong. When someone who is not much better than you accomplishes something you can't, you can become jealous. What's more, when a person you completely disdain accomplishes something you can't accomplish, there is not only jealousy, but jealousy breeds a harmful heart.

Chu Yunfan didn't know at all that when Yan Feiyun was wandering around the Zixiao Sect with him, there was a pair of resentful eyes behind him that kept looking at him, as if he was going to tear him apart inch by inch, and then swallow him alive.

"Brother Qi, I heard that Elder Li has accepted a new disciple named Chu Yunfan, and Yan Feiyun and Liu Mingyue are taking him around the sect. "This is a very quiet small bamboo forest, and there are a few people sitting or standing in the pavilion in the middle of the bamboo forest. And it was one of the few people who spoke, dressed in white, handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand, a handsome man.

"Oh, there is still such a thing, Brother Xiao is really well-informed. The man in blue, who was sitting opposite Xiao Mingjie, said with a smile on his face, but those who were familiar with him knew that his heart was definitely not as indifferent and calm as it seemed on the surface. Although he was smiling, his heart was already surging and turbulent, and the anger in his heart urgently needed to find a place to vent.

"Brother Qi is really a generous person, this Senior Brother Chu can be accepted by Elder Li, his talent is definitely higher than ours, I can't help but envy him, I can't wait to see what kind of character can make Elder Li make an exception to be included in the door, how can Brother Qi be so uneasy. The corners of Xiao Mingjie's mouth slightly hooked an intriguing arc, and said lightly.

Brother Xiao laughed, it's not that he doesn't care, but what is the use of caring. The man in blue continued to answer lightly.

"Haha, so I said that Brother Qi still has the style of a general, Xiao can't wait, let's go and see this Senior Brother Chu's peerless demeanor first. Xiao Mingjie laughed, closed the folding fan in his hand, and turned to leave.

Of course, Xiao Mingjie didn't really go to see Chu Yunfan, although it was said that Chu Yunfan was accepted by Li Yibai, but with Xiao Mingjie's strength and status in the Zixiao faction, Chu Yunfan couldn't let Xiao Mingjie surrender his identity and take the initiative to get acquainted. He said this just to stimulate Qi Yuanqing, and those who are really familiar with Qi Yuanqing know that he is narrow-minded. And he and Qi Yuanqing are competitors, and he is also one of the people who are familiar with Qi Yuanqing.

It turned out that when Qi Yuanqing joined the Zixiao faction, he wanted to worship Li Yibai as a teacher at first, but Li Yibai refused him without hesitation. Since he was a child, he has been gifted and superior, and when did he suffer such a grievance because of his pride, he never thought that Li Yibai would refuse his request for apprenticeship. Therefore, although he never expressed any dissatisfaction on the surface, deep down he was haunted by this incident.

"Shao Zongchu, you go and check the origin of this Chu Yunfan for me. After Xiao Mingjie left, Qi Yuanqing said gloomily.

"Yes, brother. The gray-clothed man standing on the right behind Qi Yuanqing bowed and said.
