After the martial arts competition, Chen Xiao was taken outside a courtyard gate by two inner disciples, saying that Zhuo Yifan wanted to see him alone.

Chen Xiao pushed open the courtyard door and walked through the long corridor with a heavy heart, he made this decision without authorization, I don't know what Gong Yueyu will think of him, I hope they can understand their intentions.

At the end of the corridor is a gorgeous and exquisite attic, it can be seen that Zhuo Yifan's treatment in the inner door is unique, Chen Xiao stood outside the attic door, he couldn't tell what it was like, according to the original plan, he just pretended to join the enemy, at this time he faked and really did it, will there be the effect he expected? He knew very well in his heart that with Zhuo Yifan's character, even this would not gain absolute trust, he just wanted to gamble, bet that he still had some value that could be used.

"Come in", Zhuo Yifan's voice suddenly came from the room.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and gently pushed the door in.

Zhuo Yifan leaned back on the chair, saw Chen Xiao come in, pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile on his face: "Come, sit." ”

Chen Xiao did not look restrained at all, and sat down generously.

"What's your name?" Zhuo Yifan asked, he had only seen Chen Xiao last time he went to Zhang Jun's courtyard, and at that time he vaguely felt that this person was a little different, and in some places he was even very similar to himself.

Chen Xiao said simply: "Chen Xiao!"

Zhuo Yifan sat up and said, "Okay, I'm not interested in pursuing the previous matter, since you want to enter the inner gate, I will naturally say a few more good words in the sect." ”

Chen Xiao stood up suddenly, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you seniors, juniors are grateful, it's just ...... The younger generation also has a reluctant invitation. ”

Zhuo Yifan's eyes flashed and said, "You say." ”

Chen Xiao pondered for a while and said, "I still have two brothers, can you let them enter the inner gate together......

Zhuo Yifan said with a smile: "You have a deep brotherhood, of course there is no problem, but if you wronged yourself for them, it is not necessary for them to accept your affection." ”

Chen Xiao said with a heavy face: "Don't worry, seniors, I will persuade them." ”

Zhuo Yifan said: "Okay, then you go, I will personally ask the elders of the sect for instructions, there is absolutely no problem for the three of you to enter the inner gate." ”

Chen Xiao bowed respectfully again and said, "Thank you seniors, this favor is remembered by the younger generations." ”

Zhuo Yifan nodded and said: "Now is the time for the sect to employ people, talents like you, even if you don't need me to say, the sect is also intentionally cultivated, don't let me look away." ”

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice: "Yes", and then turned around and exited the door.

As soon as Chen Xiao came out of the courtyard, Luo Jin came to Zhuo Yifan's house, he saw Zhuo Yifan squinting and leaning on the chair, and he didn't know whether to speak or not for a while.

Zhuo Yifan said softly: "What do you have to say?"

Luo Jin hurriedly said: "That kid just now was too strange, in case there is any conspiracy in it......"

Zhuo Yifan intercepted and said: "You must know, if they don't have a purpose, they are not very easy to use, I don't care what conspiracy they have, what can they do with their cultivation, but now there is something that can be used by them." ”

Luo Jin was puzzled: "In terms of their cultivation, which inner disciple is not stronger than them, what can be done to use them?"

Zhuo Yifan said: "Recently, the sect received a secret order from the Nianling Sect, saying that the Qianren Ancient Temple is being besieged, let us go to the Xuantie Sect to support, although the sect has not decided who to let go, but eighty percent has to fall on our heads, who wants to do this kind of thankless thing?"

Luo Jin comprehended, Zhuo Yifan pulled Chen Xiao and the others into the inner door, just to let them take over this drudgery, and then responded: "That's, that's, but this level of tasks, the rewards should be quite generous, in case they get it......"

Zhuo Yifan suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know who the people who besieged the Qianren Ancient Temple were?"

Luo Jin replied, "Who?

Zhuo Yifan said meaningfully: "It is said that the people of the dark moon are very difficult to deal with, even if I am myself, I may not be able to do it, so I want to let those hairy boys act as substitutes for the dead ghosts, even if they don't help at all, the sect has an explanation for the Nianling Sect." ”

Luo Jin complimented: "Clever, this plan is clever." ”

......

Zhang Jun's courtyard was silent, as if there was no one, but it was clear that Gong Yueyu, Shen Wentian, and Zhang Jun were sitting in the courtyard.

Zhang Jun was about to speak, but Gong Yueyu preemptively said: "We grew up together, although he sometimes likes to play a little clever, but he will never betray us, I know you have a hard time believing it, but he must have his own reasons." ”

Shen Wentian said in a deep voice: "I believe it!"

Zhang Jun suddenly said: "You two promised me one thing. ”

Gong Yueyu Shen asked God that the most sad person at this time should belong to Zhang Jun, and immediately replied, "Definitely!" ”

Zhang Jun said slowly: "After you enter the inner gate, forget all the things we did before, don't worry about my request to you, don't let Zhuo Yifan think that you still have something to do with me, just concentrate on cultivation." ”

Gong Yueyu hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, how can we forget our previous words, not to mention that we can't enter the inner door for the time being." ”

Zhang Jundao: "Maybe Chen Xiao is right, our plan may not be successful, even if it is successful, we can't enter the inner door because of this, if you want to enter the inner door, it doesn't depend on winning or losing, but it depends on what Zhuo Yifan says, I thought it was too simple at first." ”

"Not bad", Gong Yueyu still wanted to refute, when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

Gong Yueyu turned around and saw that Chen Xiao was standing in the courtyard, although Gong Yueyu didn't hate him in his heart, he was still a little angry at his solitary actions, and said solemnly: "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xiao didn't get close, stood in place and replied: "I know you must hate me now, but according to the original plan, even if we win, we won't have a chance to enter the inner door, I saw Zhuo Yifan just now, as long as we want, we can enter the inner door now." ”

Gong Yueyu said: "If you want to go, you go by yourself, I won't go." ”

Zhang Jun said angrily: "Have you forgotten what you promised me just now?"

Gong Yueyu snorted and didn't answer.

Chen Xiao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, although the means I use are different, but isn't our goal to enter the inner gate, and then cultivate to a high enough level of cultivation to help Zhang Jun?

Gong Yueyu shook suddenly, Chen Xiao was right, in addition to entering the inner gate for Zhang Jun, they also had to enter the inner door for the sake of the master's wishes, even if they didn't do either, for their own sake, they also had to cultivate towards a higher realm, but he couldn't imagine entering the inner gate in this way, and he wasn't quite sure what to do.

Chen Xiao said lightly: "I know all this is too sudden and too difficult to accept, you think about it all night, and give me an answer tomorrow", Chen Xiao didn't want to apologize at the moment, didn't want to explain, and didn't even want to talk more, he felt that the more he talked, the more chaotic it would be, what he needed most at this moment was for everyone to calm down and think about it, including himself, who also needed to calm down alone.

Gong Yueyu turned her head away, neither answering nor looking at Chen Xiao anymore, and Shen Wentian and Zhang Jun were also silent.

Chen Xiao stood for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving", he turned around slowly, walked very slowly, and suddenly stopped and said: "By the way, it wasn't me who offered to join the inner gate in this way, but the inner disciple who came to the stage mentioned it to me first, I think what he said makes sense, so I ......", he didn't continue, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard at a slow pace.

The mottled shadows of the trees jumped on the bluestone slabs, Chen Xiao seemed to see him and Shen Wentian tossing and turning on the top of the heavy clothes every day, and the afterglow swept over the stone statues in the corner, and as if he saw the days when they promoted the stone statues, he knew that all this would be gone forever, just like when he and Gong Yueyu left Tiansong Temple, he sometimes seemed more resolute or more ruthless than Gong Yueyu, because he knew that if he wanted to go further, he had to give up something.

......

In the spacious hall, there was a row of people standing on the left and right, and in front of the crowd stood an old man, who was the referee of the martial arts competition, and there were three people standing in front of the old man with his head down.

The old man glanced at the three people in front of him, and announced loudly: "From today on, Gong Yueyu, Chen Xiao, and Shen Wentian have officially become inner disciples, and you must abide by the rules of the inner gate from now on and obey the arrangements of the inner deacon, understand?"

The three of them responded in unison: "Understood." ”

The old man continued: "Below are your senior brothers, you must consult with them more, practice strictly, and when you enter the inner gate, you will begin to take on some tasks of the sect." ”

The three of them turned to the two rows of people standing in the lobby and clenched their fists and said, "The juniors have seen the seniors. ”

Zhuo Yifan stood at the front of the crowd and responded with a smile on his face.

After the old man was announced, Luo Jin, the deacon of the inner gate, took the three of them to arrange their residence and explain the various matters of the inner door, Luo Jin was the deacon of the inner door on the surface, but everything was arranged by Zhuo Yifan, although Zhuo Yifan was only an ordinary disciple of the inner door, but with his extremely high talent, he was quite valued by the sect, just because every three years the major sects have to compete for the quota to enter the Nian Ling Sect, once someone is selected into the Nian Ling Sect, the sect will get a lot of benefits, and some people are in the Nian Ling Sect, the sect has an extra layer of protection, and it is natural that a genius like Zhuo Yifan is valued, and everyone knows that his future is limitless。

After everything was arranged, it was finally the turn of the three of them to be alone.

Chen Xiao smiled for the first time in a long time and said, "You don't blame me now, do you?"

Shen Wentian also smiled: "It's not strange. ”

Gong Yueyu shook his head and said: "I haven't blamed you all along, it's just that I couldn't accept it at the time, after we left, Zhang Jun may be back to the same as before, no one cares about him, he doesn't care about others, and it's difficult to break through in his cultivation all day long, hey......"

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and at this time, only some of their cultivation powerhouses could help him.
