Yanjing City, Sword Pavilion.

Firefly got off the sword tower and wanted to go to the inner courtyard, but he didn't expect to meet the master of the Sword Pavilion, the sword god Zhang Xiao.

Seeing Firefly, Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, obviously in a very good mood, and Firefly also respected Zhang Xiao very much, smiled in response, and then bowed slightly.

"Firefly, I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect such a coincidence, which saved me a lot of effort. ”

In ordinary times, Firefly will always stay in the high pavilion of the Sword Tower to read the books and read books, if you want to find her, you must climb the high Sword Pavilion, but the people who are qualified to climb such a high level are also a minority in the Sword Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master, do you have something to do with me?"

Speaking of which, Firefly has not seen Zhang Xiao for a while, I heard that he was assigned by Emperor Yang to go to the northwest, and I don't know when he came back, even if he stayed in Yanjing City, Zhang Xiao has actually been in a busy state, rarely able to enjoy the quiet, so there are not many opportunities to meet.

Even so, in order to cultivate Firefly to become the heir of the Sword Pavilion, in the early years, Zhang Xiao had saved as much time as possible to guide Firefly, and he would answer all questions, never hide his personal interests, and he would almost give it to him.

Firefly entered the realm so quickly, and even had such a cultivation today, in addition to its excellent talent, of course, it was inseparable from Zhang Xiao's careful teaching, although there was no verbal teacher, but in the eyes of Firefly, Zhang Xiao was almost half of his master.

In recent years, Zhang Xiao gradually stopped giving advice to Firefly, but let her think and choose on her own, and then occasionally communicated with Firefly with her own experience and cognition, so as to cultivate Firefly's own unique sword intent, and also achieved many extraordinary achievements.

Therefore, when she heard that Zhang Xiao came to find her, Firefly thought that something big had happened, but she didn't expect Zhang Xiao to shake her head with a smile.

"Ah, it's not a thing, it's just a spare time, chatting with you, talking, nothing else. ”

Zhang Xiao said, looked around, and saw the occasional disciples coming and going in the pavilion, so he knew that this place was not a place to talk.

"You come with me, let's go to Congyun Pavilion to talk. ”

Firefly nodded, and seeing that Zhang Xiao had turned around and walked out, she took a few steps and walked side by side with the other party.

On the way, I met many Sword Pavilion disciples from time to time, and when they saw the two of them, they all stopped to salute, and Zhang Xiao and Firefly also responded with smiles.

Zhang Xiao is in the Sword Pavilion and deserves this courtesy, but Firefly has no position in the pavilion master, but she still receives this courtesy, in addition to the girl's true love, it is because of her unique identity.

Although it has never been explicitly said, it is a matter that Firefly is cultivated by Zhang Xiao as the next pavilion master, and it is not a secret at all in the entire Sword Pavilion master, and even many people outside the Sword Pavilion are probably aware of this matter, so it is logical to be courteous, but this matter is to be successful, but there are still many problems that need to be solved.

Although in the Sword Pavilion, Zhang Xiao, as the Pavilion Master, can be completely arbitrary, but since the Elders' House has been established, even many of the Pavilion Masters' words and deeds have been subject to many restrictions.

Under the banner that everything is the future of the Sword Pavilion, the House of Elders has wantonly wooed the elite children in the Pavilion, established its own power, and created a special atmosphere in the Sword Pavilion where only the House of Elders can have the right to speak, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is actually an act of decentralization with someone's acquiescence.

Zhang Xiao acts simply and directly, is free and easy, does not like disputes, as long as he does not touch his bottom line, he will turn a blind eye, in his opinion, most of the disciples who really fall to the House of Elders are depressed marginal characters, or stupid people with no brains, or new disciples with little experience, in fact, more smart people have rationally chosen neutrality, and the real elite disciples, this is actually still on Zhang Xiao's side.

After all, as long as Zhang Xiao does not fall, there will never be a second discourse person in the Sword Pavilion, the Lord of the Sword Pavilion, since the establishment of the Sword Pavilion, it has been such an existence, not so much that the Sword Pavilion is Dahua's Sword Pavilion, but that it is the Sword Pavilion of the Lord of the Sword Pavilion, and now it is naturally Zhang Xiao's Sword Pavilion!

Although the House of Elders is decentralized, they are not a bunch of fools, they know Zhang Xiao's bottom line, so they also know how to act in proportion, for the matter of the heir, they will only knock on the side and find another way, but they have never said it clearly, and the real party Firefly is actually not interested in inheriting the Sword Pavilion at all, and is more just following Zhang Xiao's arrangement.

Along the way, neither of them spoke again until they stepped into Cong Yun Pavilion.

When he approached Congyun Pavilion, he saw a square table in front of him.

At each end of the square table, there is a delicate teacup, and at the back of the square table sits a person, holding a teapot, just brewing tea in the cup.

"Pavilion master, fireflies, you came just in time, this pot of tea is just right. ”

The person who spoke was none other than He Mingdu, a disciple of the Sword Pavilion.

I think that when he was in Windy City, He Mingdu, like Qin Feiling, was seriously injured by Liu Jizong, who betrayed the Sword Pavilion, and both of them almost lost their lives because of this, but in the end, because of Qu Yitong's appearance, they finally survived.

However, the injuries of the two were too serious, even if they picked up a life, they had left a problem that was difficult to eliminate, and now, Qin Feiling still did not wake up, he was completely a living dead, and He Mingdu was broken by a sword, and since then his cultivation has been greatly reduced, and now he cannot recover.

However, now He Mingdu has seen it, since his health has improved, he has focused on dealing with the affairs of the pavilion master, hoping to make another contribution to Zhang Xiao's sword pavilion, because of his calm and low-key personality, these jobs are getting better and better, and they soon become a rare help by Zhang Xiao's side, just like when Chen Zizheng was alive.

Now, He Mingdu and Qi Xuanhui have become the right and left hands of Zhang Xiao's side, one inside the main and the other outside, not only handling things in an orderly manner, saving Zhang Xiao a lot of departures, but also helping the Sword Pavilion to develop and grow in an orderly manner, so as not to make the people in the House of Elders make a miasma.

The three of them knew each other well, let alone be polite, so the two sat down at the table.

The tea on the table is hot, the taste is fragrant and pleasant, but I don't know what kind of tea industry is used.

Zhang Xiao picked it up, took a sip, and nodded immediately.

"I heard that you had a conflict with Shao Yu and injured him by mistake?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiao was full of smiles, as if he was talking about some interesting story on the street.

Hearing his words, He Mingdu also laughed.

"The pavilion master has spread, presumably the pavilion master also heard it like this, if you want me to say that it must be Shao Yu who is reckless, I'm afraid it's no wonder that the firefly pear. ”

He Mingdu seemed to excuse Firefly, but the latter didn't intend to hide it at all.

"I'm not a ...... to miss"

Firefly put down the tea in her hand, her expression was still indifferent, and she didn't seem to care, but He Mingdu was stunned when she heard it.

Zhang Xiao smiled faintly, with a completely true expression on his face, but it made He Mingdu stunned again.

"In this case, it will completely overthrow him to the House of Elders, such consequences, have you thought about it, you must know that he is the only grandmaster among the many disciples besides you. ”

It is no secret that Hong Shaoyu became a grandmaster, with his character, he has not been known to the whole world to have converged, He Mingdu has also heard of it, but when he thinks of himself, he is still a little lost, you must know that back then, they were all considered the most elite disciples of the pavilion master, and now Hong Shaoyu has become a grandmaster, but he is only a luxury in the Quartet Realm.

After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Firefly's reaction was still flat.

"So what, he doesn't understand the true meaning of the Grandmaster at all, even if he is lucky enough to step into the holy product, he can only stop here in this life, if he falls to the Elders' House, I am afraid that he will not have a chance in this life. ”

Zhang Xiao agreed with Firefly's answer, but at this time he was a little surprised by the other party's attitude.

"Firefly girl, are you in a good mood today, is there anything good?"

Hearing Zhang Xiao suddenly ask this, Hotaru was also slightly stunned, and after a little thought, she still decided to say it.

"He's coming to pick me up, just as promised. ”

He Mingdu was stunned, he didn't know who Firefly was talking about, but Zhang Xiao looked like he knew it completely.

"It seems that you already knew, I thought that the news I brought back would make you happy?"

Seeing that Firefly and He Mingdu both seemed to have puzzled expressions, Zhang Xiao not only laughed.

"Lin Qi, not only is he back, but he has also done a big thing in the south!"

"Lin Qi!?"

Hearing this name that seemed to have been sealed for a long time, He Mingdu's face was full of shock, and he was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at Firefly.

"What's the matter?"

Firefly is more concerned about whether Lin Qi has encountered any danger.

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, and then told the two of them that Lin Qi was in the land of Xuzhou, led two thousand Dahua soldiers to defeat monsters, and broke the rumors of the rebels.

After listening, both of them fell silent, but their moods at this time were very different.

"It sounds legendary and exciting, but if some people hear it, they will not be able to sleep well. ”

Zhang Xiao meant something, whether it was Firefly or He Mingdu in front of him, he naturally understood it.

Firefly looked solemn, didn't know what she was thinking, and it took a long time to raise her head, and her eyes flashed with a fine light.

"Pavilion Master, what should I do?"

"This matter, if you ask me, I can't answer you at all, I think you also know my identity, if this matter develops to the point that I need to come forward, I'm afraid it will not be a good result. ”

Hotaru nodded, naturally understanding what Zhang Xiao meant, but her expression became more determined.

"Pavilion Master, he will definitely come back to pick me up, because he has never broken his word, it has been like this since the beginning, I originally just wanted to wait quietly for this day to come, but it seems that things will not be so easy. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to clear the way for him, just as I had hoped at the beginning!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and seemed to be very happy, but He Mingdu beside him didn't know what kind of wit the two were fighting, and for a while, he was even more confused.

"It seems that you are finally planning to inherit the position of pavilion master? It's just that now you want to replace him, I'm afraid it's not yet time!"

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, the momentum on his body rose suddenly, although it was not strong, but it still showed supreme divine might, which made people dare not despise it.

When He Mingdu heard his words, he was even more shocked, and then looked back at Firefly, and found that the latter looked like this, neither agreeing nor refuting, but he didn't know what he meant.

"I know, but there's no hurry, because it's not time yet. After speaking, Firefly finished the tea in the cup, and stood up at this time, "Before this, I still have a lot of things to prepare, and I won't be in a hurry." ”

Zhang Xiao nodded, appreciating that Firefly could have such a determination.

"What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I can start with the Elders' House first!"

After saying this, Hotaru suddenly laughed, her smile was innocent and cute, transcendent and extraordinary, as if she had become the innocent girl who had no distractions.

But Firefly's words surprised He Mingdu.

Hotaru got up and stood up, turned around and walked out the door, and when they reached the door, they stopped again.

"Pavilion Master, what I do is not only for myself, but of course for you, Pavilion Master. ”

"For me?"

Zhang Xiao smiled lightly, and didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Yes, for you, or for my aunt, it's all the same!"

After speaking, Firefly ignored Zhang Xiao, who had changed color, and went straight out of the gate of Congyun Pavilion, and seeing the figure of Firefly disappear, Zhang Xiao was a little lonely, and finally shook his head, still smiling bitterly.

At this time, He Mingdu still seemed to be a little concerned about Firefly's words.

"Pavilion Master, over there in the House of Elders...... You know, without His acquiescence, there would not be today's House of Elders. ”

Who it is, He Mingdu has no famous words, but the two of them also know it.

"It's okay, just rest assured that Firefly will do it, now she already knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what she is doing, speaking of which, this elder's house shouldn't exist in the first place, right?"

That being said, things need to be approached with caution.

"Don't worry, Mingdu, I'm very satisfied that Firefly can have the current responsibility, and the rest of the things, let me, the pavilion master, clear the obstacles for him." ”

After that, Zhang Xiao also drank all the tea, and He Mingdu had no choice but to fill it up for him.

......

At this time, Lin Qi didn't know what was going on here, and after he separated from Yuanbao, he took Yan Cong back on the road.

Originally, Yuanbao also wanted to bring Yan Cong back to Qianchan Temple to accept him as a disciple, but unfortunately this kid didn't want to be a monk when he was killed, but he stalked him, that is, he relied on Lin Qi, Yuanbao was helpless, and could only sigh that fate had not arrived, so he returned this kid to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi was also helpless, but he couldn't leave him behind, so he could only take him with him.

I was going to go back to Lingque Mountain directly, but I didn't expect to go far before I encountered a new problem.

Seeing the girl in front of him who was supposed to go to Yanjing, but suddenly appeared in front of him, Lin Qi couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Qingyang, what are you doing here?"

"Of course, I will follow the teacher and serve you well!"

Looking at the appearance of this girl's hippie smiling face, Lin Qi couldn't reprimand her.

"What, am I old?"

"Why, this is rhetoric! Rhetoric!"
