The next day.

The wind blows gently through the bamboo forest, the clear sound of running water makes the surroundings seem more secluded, and the rhubarb grazes on the side, everything seems to be back to the way it used to be.

Click!

The axe in Ning Yu's hand fell, split the last piece of firewood in two, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and just wanted to go back to the house, but saw a familiar shadow in the bamboo forest with mottled shadows.

On the day of the Shangdeng Temple Fair, he happened to see Nangong Jingyan and the girl beside him.

Nangong Qingxue was dressed in an elegant goose yellow dress, with green silk like a waterfall, hanging all the way to her waist, which was very conspicuous in the forest.

She looks similar in age to Ning Yu, but her figure has already developed exquisitely, like a budding daffodil, as long as she is given some more time, she will inevitably become a peerless beauty who will captivate the country and the city.

"Young Master Ning Yu?" Nangong Qingxue said softly.

"Do you know me?" Ning Yu asked.

Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said: "You have caused such a big storm in the Golden Cicada Temple, even the people of the Luo family dare to fight, now Lingjiang City is afraid that no one will not know you, right?"

Ning Yu smiled awkwardly, and said a little embarrassed: "So I am so famous?"

I have to say that the appearance of the third lady of the Nangong family is extremely outstanding, not much different from Su Yingluo, being looked at like this by the other party always makes him feel a little weird, and he is uncomfortable.

She is easy-going, has a refined temperament, and has no shelf at all as a young lady, but gives people the feeling of a small jasper, but what surprised Ning Yu the most was that her talent seemed to be no worse than Nangong Jingyan!

He had entered the wonderful realm of the unity of heaven and man, so he felt much more sensitive than ordinary people, although Nangong Qingxue deliberately concealed and suppressed, Ning Yu could still vaguely feel that the other party had cultivated to the realm of the Eight Heavens of Qi Refining, and he was even about to reach the threshold of the Nine Heavens!

She looks about the same age as herself, maybe even a little younger, and with such a cultivation speed, it can't be said that she is not evil.

Such a good seedling should not be unknown. But the fact is that there are almost no news and rumors about her cultivation in the entire Lingjiang City.

Nangong Qingxue Since she has such a talent, why should she deliberately suppress and conceal it? In Ning Yu's opinion, her qualifications are definitely far better than Cao Tong of Yanbing Pavilion, and even maybe she is still above Jueming and her brother Nangong Jingyan......

"I heard that you're leaving for Tianhe City tomorrow?"

The girl looked around, dense bamboo forests, small bridges and flowing water, it was another world completely different from her living environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and high walls, which made her feel a sense of relief, and even her breathing slowed down a lot.

The abbot of Jinchan Temple is about to travel far away, which is a big event, and many forces in Lingjiang City have received information.

"Yes. Ning Yu did not deny it.

On that day, he not only severely damaged Luo Sheng and several people during the foundation building period, but also abolished one of Luo Kun's arms, with Luo Kun's heart, after returning to the clan to recover from his injuries, he would definitely not let him go easily.

Maybe leaving is the best option.

If you continue to stay here, I am afraid that sooner or later it will attract the revenge of the Luo family and bring some unnecessary disasters here.

"Tianhe City. The girl raised her head and let the sunlight through the bamboo forest fall on her fair face, and a hint of longing flashed in her eyes.

"The largest city in the Southern Regions, it must be very prosperous. She smiled shallowly.

At this moment, Ning Yu saw the agility and longing that belonged to her age on the girl's face, coupled with Nangong Qingxue's beautiful face, as if a wisp of breeze was blowing on his face, which actually made him have a moment of trance.

"What, do you want to go too?" Ning Yu said with a smile.

“...... I think I want to think about it. Nangong Qingxue looked into the distance, her smart eyes revealing a reverie for the unknown, but she was inexplicably stained with a layer of haze.

"But I can't leave. ”

At this time, Mo said that it was a small Nangong family, even Lingjiang City, and even the entire Southern Regions were not peaceful, and earth-shaking changes could occur at any time.

She doesn't have the same ambition as the men in the clan, she yearns for the outside world, and she just wants to travel to the famous mountains and rivers and see different scenery. But such a small selfishness, in front of her relatives, is not worth mentioning at all, for her who has lived in Lingjiang City for fourteen years, her family is all she has.

"Don't talk about that. Without dwelling too much on this topic, Ning Yu opened his mouth and asked, "It's the Nangong family, let you come to me?"

In his impression, he didn't seem to have much intersection with the Nangong family.

If you want to talk about wooing, the other party should be the most unlikely to do this, their Nangong Jingyan has extraordinary qualifications, the family will naturally do their best to cultivate, how can they be distracted and waste resources to take care of an outsider?

Nangong Qingxue shook her head and said, "It's my eldest brother." ”

"Nangong Jingyan?" Ning Yu was even more confused, "I don't know him, what is he looking for me?"

Nangong Qingxue walked slowly, gradually falling into the color of memory.

"Big brother, he has been gifted since he was a child, he is a genius of the Nangong family for decades, among the young generation in the city, there is no one who can stand out, he is almost invincible in the same rank, and even many adults are not his opponents. "So, at a young age, he already made a name for himself. ”

Nangong Qingxue spoke slowly all the way, and Ning Yu also listened silently on the side, and politely did not interrupt her.

"Although most of the outside world talks about how amazing his talent is, only those of us who are really familiar with him know that in fact, the eldest brother is harder than anyone else. Nangong Qingxue said, her eyes were like water, and there was a touch of tenderness for her relatives in her eyes. "Because, he represents the reputation of the family, so he never dares to slack off in cultivation, even if his cultivation speed has already surpassed the predecessors of the clan, he will still treat himself with the most stringent requirements. ”

“...... The eldest brother's heart is very arrogant. The girl paused slightly, and continued: "Maybe he didn't notice it himself, but I saw it. ”

In fact, in his heart, he didn't want to see anyone walk in front of him, so after losing to Jueming that day, he resolutely decided to go into retreat, wanting to do his best to break through to the realm of foundation building. ”

"Big brother is such a person who doesn't admit defeat in his bones......"

Hearing this, Ning Yu suddenly understood a lot, and vaguely guessed the reason why the girl suppressed and hid her true cultivation.

He suddenly thought of the popularity of the Yanbing Pavilion again.

It seems that in this world, most people do not live for themselves.

......

Nangong house, deep in the courtyard.

There is a large open space inside, flanked by elaborate tiled houses, and the houses are surrounded by a high stone wall in the later years.

A man sat cross-legged in the middle of the field, holding his breath and concentrating, earnestly cultivating.

Beside him, there was a golden spear, lying silently on the stone slab.

On the other side of the empty space, another younger-looking man was wielding a spear in style.

Although his eyes were resolute, he was panting and sweating like rain, and his body was obviously exhausted, and he didn't know how many hours he had been practicing here.

Suddenly, the man sitting cross-legged opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up directly, like a beast awakened from a deep sleep, with a strong momentum!

In the distance, the man who was wielding the gun was shocked, startled by his sudden burst of breath.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Nangong Chen stopped and asked out loud.

Nangong Jingyan's eyes were cold, looking at the wooden door of the courtyard from afar, there was a fire in the depths of his eyes, and the battle intent on his body was constantly rising.

"Here he comes. Nangong Jingyan said indifferently.

"Who?" Nangong Chen looked puzzled, this was a special martial arts training ground for the two of them, except for some family elders, outsiders couldn't enter at all.

He turned around and looked at Nangong Jingyan's gaze, and after seeing the person who came, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and his face changed slightly.

Who else could there be other than Ning Yu and Nangong Qingxue who came through the prohibition outside the courtyard?

Nangong Qingxue, as the pearl of the Nangong family, naturally knew the method of breaking the ban here, and took Ning Yu all the way in.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard door, Ning Yu felt the surging battle intent like a wave, he looked at it from afar, and just met Nangong Jingyan's blazing gaze!

Ning Yu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, the man in front of him, compared to the time when he was in the Golden Cicada Temple, his cultivation had obviously taken a big step forward!

His aura at the moment was high and low, swaying, and in his heyday, he far exceeded the level that the Qi Refining Realm should have, which was enough to be comparable to an ordinary spirit master powerhouse, and when it declined, it fell all the way down, until it fell below the Nine Heavens of Qi Refining, which was not even as good as an ordinary ninth-level spirit master.

Ning Yu knew that this was a sign that he had already taken the last step of the spirit master, as long as he implemented the last step, he would be able to become a true spirit master immediately!
