The long night will finally come to an end, and the horizon on the horizon will reveal a little white of fish's belly. After a few minutes, the golden sun gradually rose, and the entire forest seemed to be coated with a layer of golden paint. The door of the pagoda was pushed open with a 'babbling', and Charlotte looked at the rising sun, stretching lazily, not knowing whether it was because of staying up late or absorbing too much pure fire element, now Charlotte felt very tired. There were multiple scars on his body, probably from the battle with the Divine Beast last night.

When fighting the 'World-Destroying Demon Fox' last night, the task assigned by the master to Xia Luo was very simple, which was to use the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Duel' to absorb all the energy leaked by the seal, while Confucius was on the side to contain the divine beast by force. Because this demon fox's ability to reach the sky completely relies on its own energy, that is, the purest flame in the world, also known as 'demon fire', so the energy leaked by the seal is the fire element, and as long as it relies on the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', it can be perfectly absorbed. Seven years ago, Confucius took this opportunity to use the 'demon fire' to make Xia Luo successfully stimulate the rotation of the 'five elements of reincarnation', and the five elements were endless.

The tired Charlotte yawned, and he looked at Confucius who appeared next to him at some point, only to see Confucius staring at the distant sun silently, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, the master finally spoke: "Xia Luo, do you think it is the right thing for the old man to make a marriage contract with Guan Yu for Mu Xian?"

Confucius's words seemed to Xia Luo to be words, and the corners of his mouth rose, and he replied softly: "As long as my sister is happy, then I will be happy." After hearing Charlotte's answer, the master smiled slightly. "Okay, it's time for the old man to set off with Lizhong, I'm afraid it won't work without the help of the old man in this Qingtian List Competition, it's really a pity for the old man's old bones. Then, Yuhai Muxian will ask you. Confucius looked back at Mu Xian inside the tower, and thousands of huge chains surrounded her, forming a circular canopy.

"I'm afraid it will take two days for her to fully recover. The Master sighed and disappeared into the void. Charlotte saluted the void, and after seeing his master leave, he softly closed the door and left.

......

After eating rough tea and rice at noon, Charlotte suddenly felt that she was idle. If the four fools are still there, they can still get together to do something and fight the landlord, but they have already left Yueshi Town, and it is estimated that they are now participating in the competition and having fun fighting with other family disciples. "Hey, what should I do? He sighed.

I'm afraid there won't be any progress in studying the dark book for the time being, the book had been thoroughly studied by Charlotte a few months ago, but she still couldn't find a way to solve the secret art, so Charlotte made up her mind to steal the book.

But now Xia Luo doesn't need to cultivate at all, he only needs to wait for the completion of the digestion of the Five Elements Ring, and his strength will be greatly improved, which can be said to be several times faster than the cultivation improvement speed of normal disciples. Besides, if you forcibly speed up the digestion, you may really 'go crazy', or you will burn yourself before you become a demon.

"It really looks like we have to wait slowly. Charlotte whispered helplessly, staring at a corner of his hut where a bamboo fishing rod and barrel were placed. "Well, why don't you go fishing?"

Soon after, Charlotte, with a fishing rod and a barrel, came to the stream, and not far away saw the forest behind her. The stream in front of me is crystal clear, and several fat fish swim happily in the stream. "Speaking of which, the area of Kongshang Mansion is really large, almost equal to half a month. "This creek is also within the boundaries of Kong Shang Province, and it is quiet and sparsely populated, and whenever she has free time, Charlotte will come here with a fishing rod to fish.

Suddenly, Charlotte noticed a teenager lying in the place where he frequented. The young man, with fiery red hair and a red and black robe, lay on the grass and looked at the sky, the only peculiar thing was that his face was blue and swollen, as if he had just been beaten. Charlotte knew the identity of the other party as soon as she looked at the figure. "Hi, Senior Brother Kong Liehao. Good afternoon. ”

Kong Liehao responded and saw Xia Luo walking towards him. "Humph!" he twisted his head away.

(Wow, what is this?textbook tsundere?)

Fortunately, Xia Luo, who was a two-life person, knew how to deal with such an embarrassing situation, and he walked over with a smile on his face and a kind face, and sat down next to Kong Liehao. "You can always catch big fish here, so if you don't mind, I'll just sit here. Charlotte said. Kong Liehao ignored Xia Luo and continued to look at the scenery in the distance.

Charlotte set up the rod, slipped the bait on the hook, and flung it gently into the stream, making a tiny splash of water. Xia Luo and Kong Liehao did not speak, there was only the sound of the wind blowing around them, the stream flowed slowly, there were a few white clouds floating in the sky, and the blue sky seemed to be unchanged.

After a long time, Kong Liehao, who was originally silent, finally spoke: "Xia Luo... Senior Brother, do you say that Senior Brother Zhong will enter within a hundred?" he asked casually, looking at the drifting clouds in the sky.

"Well, I don't know what the tournament will be, but I believe that with their quality to be in the top 20, it will be more than enough. Charlotte paused as he looked at the water in the creek and continued: "But, no matter what the result of the competition is, whether you win or lose, as long as the four of them return safely, after all, they are my irreplaceable family." ”

"Family?... Did Grandpa really treat me as a family member?" Kong Liehao muttered in a low voice. Xia Luo knew very well that during these ten years, Confucius treated his grandson with an absolutely strict attitude, and no matter the level of cultivation or the number of books read, he was often more than twice as many as other disciples. Although Confucius was very strict, in the past ten years, Kong Liehao gritted his teeth and took on all this huge pressure, and even so, Master did not reward or encourage Kong Liehao a word.

Like strict parents who treat their children, it is natural for Kong Liehao to be so suspicious. "Actually, have you ever thought about the reason why the master won't let you participate in the Blue Sky List Competition?" Xia Luo asked rhetorically.

"Is it because I'm not strong enough?"

"Half right and half wrong. It's right because your strength is really not enough to participate in the competition, and it's wrong because Confucius didn't let you participate in the competition because of your strength. Charlotte said, "He's afraid you'll get hurt." ”

"Afraid I'll get hurt?" Kong Liehao turned his head and looked at Xia Luo suspiciously.

"This Qingtian List Contest is different from the usual competitions, it is only held once in a hundred years, and the winner can gain huge fame and benefits, and even as long as he is ranked in the top 100, he can be said to have a bright future after being accepted as a disciple by the Dragon Capital Mansion. So it is inevitable that there will be no villain in the competition to kill in secret, and before the master left, he said, 'I'm afraid it won't work without the help of the old man', I'm afraid that's what it means. ”

"It turns out... So..."Kong Liehao looked at the sky and said after a sudden realization. "Then I'm afraid I'll have to work harder, so that grandpa doesn't have to worry anymore. ”

"Well, Master must be looking forward to the day when you will leap into a dragon. Charlotte whispered.

At this time, the sound of the wind and the sound of the stream formed a calm symphony, and the two did not speak after that, enjoying the flow of time. It wasn't until the afternoon that Kong Liehao patted the weeds on his body and stood up, and said to Xia Luo: "Hmph, don't think that if you say these things to me, I will really treat you as a personal disciple! But ah, if, I mean if, if someone in the mansion bullies you, you can tell me, and I will be the first to beat him down!" Then Kong Liehao walked in the direction of the martial arts arena.

Charlotte just smiled and shook her head. When Kong Liehao took a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned back to Xia Luo and said, "You can't catch fish with a straight hook, so don't waste your time." Then he left.

"Really? But Jiang said that the wisher took the bait. Charlotte lifted the rod and looked at the bait on the straight hook that had never been bitten, and muttered to herself.

......

From the creek to reach the martial arts arena, you need to pass through the hidden road leading to the 'Burning Demon Tower', and Kong Liehao, who is full of thoughts, walks in the direction of the martial arts arena while kicking the stones on the side of the road. At this moment, he heard what seemed to be someone talking in the forest not far away. "Isn't that a forbidden place over there, who's over there?" Aroused by his curiosity, he used the trunk of the tree as a cover to sneak over, only to see several well-equipped men in black surrounding Wu Ma Guanyu, as if reporting something.

"The situation is roughly like this, Confucius has been seen in the audience of the competition, and the forbidden place at this time should be unguarded. Please give the order quickly!" the man in black said in an indifferent voice.

"Well, that's good. Then all the soldiers obeyed the order. Wu Ma Guanyu said in a cold voice: "Yuhai Muxian must die today!"

"What..!" Kong Liehao saw that this was not good, and immediately covered his mouth.

"Yes! Longdu Mansion has been going on for thousands of years!" After finishing speaking, the figures of the black-clothed people and Wu Ma Guanyu disappeared in a flash.

After Kong Liehao watched them leave, his sweat was dripping down because the facts were too shocking. "Senior Sister Mu Xian is in danger! Damn, I don't have time to inform the other elders!" After finishing speaking, he immediately sprinted in the direction of the forbidden land.

......

Charlotte was still sitting by the stream, humming a little song and catching fish. The buoy on the surface of the water suddenly sank into the water, and Charlotte reacted immediately, gently lifting the rod with force, and splashing a gorgeous splash of water, and a fat fish clung to the straight hook.

"Oh, it looks like a fish has been hooked, and it's a big one. Charlotte said with a smile.
