Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk. There was no fiery sunset in the sky, but there was a hint of gloom. Undoubtedly, a rain of unknown magnitude will soon fall.

This gloomy sky makes the lonely figure below even more lonely. I don't know if it's cold or what, he put his hands in front of his chest at this time, held a broken wooden sword in his arms, and walked slowly with heavy steps.

He didn't seem to care about the gloomy sky at all, and he didn't have the slightest intention of choosing a place to shelter from the rain, just walked on blindly. And if you look closely, the eyes of this young man's figure are unexpectedly dull, as if everything in this world can't attract his attention.

Yes, this figure is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and this young man left from the small pavilion and walked all the way to Ye Xiaotian.

After he left from the small pavilion, he was originally going to go back to the front yard to rest and recuperate, but he thought about it for a while, and felt that when he went back now, he was likely to run into Senior Brother Qin Yun and them awkwardly, and this kind of thing happened today, how could he face them again.

So he walked around the front yard and back, as he had done on the first day, past rows of houses. Although the Eight Veins Martial Arts has reached the later stage, this place in the front yard is still very lively. Along the way, you can always meet groups of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples walking by.

Probably because it was about to rain, their steps were hurried and hurried, like a gust of wind, blowing past them, fleeting. Of course, there are also some disciples who are very leisurely, standing in front of each other's houses, talking and laughing loudly.

Most of the things they talked about were the battles this morning, some said that a certain senior brother was strong, some said that a certain senior sister had brilliant skills, some said that a certain senior sister had tricky swordsmanship, and some said that a certain junior brother had elegant body skills. In short, they talked with relish, and they forgot about themselves. However, what they talked about the most was the tragic battle between Ye Xiaotian and Qin Feng.

That battle was indeed more fierce than other battles. They started from Qin Feng's unilateral suppression, said Ye Xiaotian's sudden outburst, and then to the final tragic duel. Among them, there are those who regret Qin Feng, those who are unhappy for Qin Feng, and those who blame Ye Xiaotian. There is more hope that the head will be sentenced again.

Yes, in their conversation, no one spoke for Ye Xiaotian. It's just that his waning moon emitted such a strange black gas. Since ancient times, this black qi has been a symbol of evil for their immortal cultivators, and no one wants a person with evil power to finally win the conference. They seemed to have forgotten that this morning, they even hoped that the young man would win, after all, he represented the dignity and hope of the inner disciples.

They didn't notice that the figure they hated so much was walking slowly and lonely. After all, the sky was too gloomy, and he was too lowly at this time to be as eye-catching as in the ring. The waning moon also failed to attract the attention of others because it did not emit black gas.

He walked aimlessly, past rows of houses, and came to the last row of houses in the front yard, which was also the quietest place in the entire front yard.

Ye Xiaotian vaguely remembered that the cold and peerless woman he met here, that casual glance had made his heart palpitate. So he stopped unconsciously, he didn't know why he stopped, maybe people are born with a yearning for beautiful things!

It seemed that God did not want this lonely boy to be disappointed, and not long after he stopped, the closed wooden door suddenly "creaked" and was pushed open. A woman in white leaned out of the house like this. When he saw this familiar figure, Ye Xiaotian's heart couldn't help but throb again.

At this moment, the woman's lowered head also raised up, and she saw Ye Xiaotian standing not far away at a glance, and she was stunned.

"Why did he come here again? He was so seriously injured today, why didn't he recuperate in his house at this time? I heard from the master that he was not punished by the real person in charge!" A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she forgot to move away when she looked at the sad young man in front of her.

And Ye Xiaotian is also the first time to see that there is such a moving side under this woman's frosty appearance. Yes, such a stunning woman, just like Sister Shi'er, is so stunning with a smile and a smile. He thought of the sad woman last night and the resolute back in the ring today, and a sense of helplessness suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Sister Shi'er, it doesn't matter how much others misunderstand me, I won't care, but you can't ignore me! Didn't you say that you will always take care of me like a younger brother, have you forgotten?" He looked at the moving woman in front of him, as if he saw Sister Shi'er standing in front of him. So he cried out loudly in his heart, as if to shout out this annoying feeling as well.

"Boom!" the sky finally couldn't bear the backlog of black clouds, and roared angrily, and then the torrential rain fell and hit the bluestone floor. Tick-tock, as if crying for this lonely teenager. Its "tears" soon wet the boy's hair, the boy's face, the boy's shirt, and the boy's trousers. Wet the broken wooden sword, too.

Looking at the young man with a painful look in the rain, the woman in white was stunned again. Her mouth opened slightly, as if to speak. However, a cold female voice suddenly came from inside the house, "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing!" Hearing this, there was a slight panic on the woman's cold face. She quickly turned around and answered the room.

"Well, since there's nothing to do, let's go quickly, although you have a Xuanyin physique, but this time there are too many martial arts in the Eight Veins Society, you can't be careless!"

"Yes, master!" the woman replied. When he turned back again, there was no longer the figure of the young man in front of him, only the torrential rain that was pouring down, hitting the ground and ticking non-stop. She looked at the place where the boy had just stood, and she didn't feel distracted. Of course, it was only a moment before she returned to her normal state, and Qing Leng climbed up her face again, only to see her cast a small spell to keep the rain out of her body, and then quickly disappeared into the rain curtain.

............

After leaving the front yard, Ye Xiaotian went straight across the backyard and walked towards the back mountain of Tongtian Peak. The rain had drenched him all over, but he didn't care at all, just walked on. He suddenly remembered that when he came to Tongtian Peak, he came with Xiao Bai, and when he competed this morning, he went to the sea of clouds ring, and Xiao Bai went to the back mountain, although he didn't know what Xiao Bai was doing in the back mountain, but it was estimated that it was similar to looking for spirit grass.

So, he finally had a destination, and he was no longer as confused and hesitant as he was at the beginning. So he quickened his pace and soon entered the territory of the back mountains.

At this time, dusk had passed, and the night fell with heavy rain, hitting the branches in the mountains and forests, among the weeds, and on the flowers. The sound of ticking, accompanied by the night and the inadvertent mountain wind, adds a touch of hideousness to the entire mountain forest. From a distance, it was as if an ancient beast had opened its bloody mouth, waiting for the input of pedestrians, and Ye Xiaotian was this poor pedestrian.

He walked a long way in the wind and rain, and in the distance, he suddenly heard a strange sound in the rain. With his keen hearing, he could tell that it was not a natural sound, but more like the sound of a man-made fight, and that there were one or two familiar chirps mixed in. He heard that this was Xiaobai's chirp, his heart suddenly froze, and his face suddenly became cold, and the next moment, he quickened his pace again and threw himself into the deep night.

As the sound of the fight became louder and louder, Ye Xiaotian knew that he was not far from Xiaobai, and felt that Xiaobai seemed to be full of energy, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his pace was faster. During this period, he also found that the place he had walked was very familiar, because just a few days ago, he had walked with Xiaobai and Ben Xiaoxue once. If it is not bad as expected, it should be the location of the big tree not far ahead, Ye Xiaotian thought secretly.

Sure enough, when he rounded the last corner, a large tree suddenly appeared in front of him that did not fit in with the surrounding trees. Around the tree, there are three figures. A young man in white, and two birds, one black and one white, are fighting. The white-clothed young man Ye Xiaotian was very familiar with him, because he could always meet him these days. And today, he learned his name from the list of competitions, Xue Yi, is the name of this teenager. And the two fighting birds are nothing more than Xiao Bai and the young spirit beast Xiao Hei.

When Ye Xiaotian arrived, Xue Yi noticed him. He smiled faintly at him, said hello, and then said to the black eagle who was fighting in the air: "Xiao Hei, since its master is here, you should stop first! Next, it is time for the battle between our two masters!"

After Xue Yi shouted, the black eagle suddenly roared and spewed out a ball of fire, and it itself flapped its wings and retreated to Xue Yi's shoulder. At the same time, Xiao Bai also spit out an ice arrow, which eliminated the fireball into invisibility, and then retreated to Ye Xiaotian's shoulder.

Ye Xiaotian smiled faintly and touched Xiaobai's soaked hair slightly to show kindness. Only this stinky bird, which he used to "dislike" in every way, can be by his side at this time. This made his cold heart feel a little warmer.

After being silent for a while, Xue Yi said again: "Ye Xiaotian, you should be very curious why the two of them are fighting, right?"

"It's not strange!" Ye Xiaotian replied lightly. There was no trace of waves in his words, "I learned from Ben Xiaoxue that Xiaobai and your spirit beast are old enemies, so they will fight, I don't feel strange!"

"Oh, then you should also know what their dispute is about?" Xue Yi's pupils shrank and asked lightly.

"As I expected, they should be fighting over what is here, right?" Ye Xiaotian said, pointing to the big tree standing behind Xue Yi.

"That's good!" Xue Yi nodded, "Now that your spirit beast has also completed its initial evolution, it is estimated that you should also know that this big tree is the entrance to another space, and in this space, there is a spirit stone spirit that can allow them to evolve." That's why they're fighting like this. ”

"Well, you don't just want to tell me this, do you?" Ye Xiaotian asked lightly with an expressionless face.

"Of course not! Since you know that the spirit stone spirit inside is very important to your spirit beast, then you might as well fight with me, and if you win, I will give up the spirit stone spirit inside, how about it?"

"Hmph, didn't you say I'm not your opponent?"

"It was true before, but now you can be ruthless, so you are qualified to fight with me!"

"Hmph, why should I fight with you, you live in this Tongtian Peak and don't get the things inside, doesn't it prove that you can't break through the trapped formation inside?"

"Indeed!"

"Oh, then I have no reason to fight you!"

"No, you have a reason to fight!"

"Hmph, this rain is so heavy, it didn't drown the world, but it made you stupid a lot!" Ye Xiaotian smiled coldly, turned around immediately, and walked back. Only after he had taken a few steps, a voice came from behind him again:

"I've seen the competition list and rules, if nothing else, you and I will enter the semi-finals, and then meet in the semi-finals, that is to say, between you and me, you can't avoid a fight, instead of you and me duel in the ring tomorrow, it's better to decide tonight! Unless, you're sure you can defeat me without exerting all your strength!"

"Of course, your full strength is to unseal your wooden sword. But is it really good to let the black qi fill the sea of clouds again? I inquired, after that Qin Feng's persuasion all afternoon and your female follower kept interceding, your senior sister has already forgiven you a little, and she is going to watch your competition tomorrow, but if she sees the black qi in the sky again, it is estimated that she will never forgive you again!"

Xue Yi's faint words slowly came into his ears, and Ye Xiaotian unconsciously stopped moving forward. He looked up at the sky and saw that he was so good at doing this that there were no more raindrops falling in the sky. It was as if the sky also knew his heart at this time.

He smiled suddenly, "Sister Shi'er, you really still love me!"

So, he turned around, took out the waning moon from his arms, forced the trace of joy, and said calmly: "Okay, I accept this battle!"

Seeing this, Xue Yi smiled faintly, "Okay, I also accept this battle!" However, this is not a place to fight, I will take you to a place, we will have a good time tonight!"
