In the early morning, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the breeze is blowing, and the occasional pleasant birdsong is heard, as if to report to others that it is dawn.

After a simple freshening up, Chu Tianfan prepared to go to the council hall in the Western Barren Valley. Yesterday, Lu Zhi told Chu Tianfan that Chu Fengmo had something very important to announce, and people with some identities in the valley would participate, and everyone under the age of twenty would also participate. Chu Tianfan couldn't help but be a little surprised, Chu Fengmo rarely summoned everyone to the council hall, especially these juniors. What exactly is going to be announced this time?

The council hall was not far from Chu Tianfan's room, so Chu Tianfan soon came to the council hall. To his surprise, more than thirty people had already gathered in the council chamber.

Most of these people were teenagers and girls, the same age as Chu Tianfan. There are also a few elders with some status, and they all smile when they see Chu Tianfan.

After glancing at it for a while, Chu Tianfan found Su Cheng's figure. At this time, Ji Qingzheng was sitting next to Su Cheng and whispered something.

Today, Su Cheng wore a purple dress, with a somewhat absent-minded expression on her lovely face, and her eyes wandered around, as if she was looking for something.

She still had light blue earrings hanging from her ears, and a chic gold-colored necklace tied to her chest, which was the gold chain that Chu Tianfan gave her.

"Brother Tianfan. Su Cheng smiled and beckoned to Chu Tianfan, who also walked over with a light smile.

"I don't know what Brother Ji Qing is talking about with Orange?"

"Oh......" Ji Qing just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Su Cheng.

"You'll find out in a minute. Su Cheng smiled at Chu Tianfan, then turned to Ji Qing, as if asking for instructions: "Brother Ji Qing, can you give up a place for Brother Tianfan?"

As soon as these words came out, they couldn't help but attract the surprised eyes of the surroundings, Ji Qing stood up in embarrassment, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at Chu Tianfan: "Tianfan, please take a seat." ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Qing didn't stay any longer, and went to the opposite side to find a random place to sit.

"What the hell were you talking about just now?" Sitting on the bamboo chair, Chu Tianfan glanced at Ji Qing and asked softly. He knew that Ji Qing was insidious and vicious, so he didn't want Su Cheng and Ji Qing to get too close.

"Didn't I say it, you'll find out later. Su Cheng stuck out his tongue mischievously, obviously deliberately hanging Chu Tianfan's appetite.

Seeing that Su Cheng refused to speak, Chu Tianfan didn't ask any more questions, and then the two chatted for a while under Ji Qing's evil gaze, and the rest of the people rushed to the meeting hall one after another.

After another while, Ji Lei also walked in with a smile on his face. There were two middle-aged men behind him, the man on the left had indifferent eyes and a serious expression, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Chu Tianfan. The man on the right was full of domineering in his eyes, and his face had a bold look that could not be hidden.

These two people are Ji Chong, the father of Chu Fengmo, Ji Qing and Ji Lei.

Chu Tianfan wasn't surprised that Ji Lei would come with them, but he was a little curious why Ji Lei was so happy?

Just as Chu Tianfan was puzzled, Ji Lei's gaze suddenly collided with him. Although it was only two seconds, Chu Tianfan saw the contempt in Ji Lei's eyes.

"Father, Jiber. Seeing Chu Fengmo and Ji Chong appear, everyone in the conference hall greeted the two one after another, and Chu Tianfan and Su Cheng also stood up to greet Chu Fengmo and Ji Chong.

Chu Feng nodded with a faint smile, and walked straight forward. Ji Chong just wanted to follow, but his face was a little moved, and he asked in dismay, "You have ...... already."

"Jiber, keep my secret for a while. Doesn't my father have something to announce?" Ji Chong was just halfway through his words when he was stopped by Chu Tianfan.

"You kid!" Ji Chong smiled and patted Chu Tianfan's shoulder, turned around and walked quickly to Chu Fengmo, who was already seated.

Glancing at Chu Fengmo, Ji Chong sat on the chair on Chu Fengmo's right hand. There are three chairs on the main seat, the middle one is reserved for the valley owner, the left one is reserved for important guests, and the right one is reserved for Ji Chong.

Ji Chong has followed Chu Fengmo for more than ten years and has made a lot of contributions to Chu Fengmo. Without Ji Chong's assistance, Chu Fengmo would not have been able to establish the Western Barren Valley at all. Therefore, Chu Fengmo has always been very grateful to Ji Chong, and even wanted to give him the position of valley master several times, but he refused.

Ji Chong's position in Chu Fengmo's heart is very important, so he has become Chu Fengmo's most intimate friend and the most powerful cadre. Ji Chong's status in the Western Barren Valley is second only to Chu Fengmo, and Ji Lei is because he has such a father, knowing that Chu Fengmo will not treat him well in Ji Chong's face, so he will look so domineering.

Seeing Ji Chong in place, the audience instantly quieted down, and they all sat on the chairs with their backs straight, waiting for Chu Fengmo to speak.

Chu Fengmo's eyes swept around, and he stayed on Chu Tianfan for a while before he said loudly: "I believe you must be very curious about what I am going to announce next." I won't go around the bend with you, a few days ago, a famous master of Linglan Mansion secretly visited our Western Barren Valley. He came to tell me one thing, saying that when Linglan Mansion recruits disciples next year, we can have three places to directly enter Linglan Mansion in the West Barren Valley. ”

Hearing this news, the young people and girls in the audience showed excited expressions on their faces, it was the dream of each of them to enter the Linglan Mansion to cultivate, but the threshold of the Linglan Mansion was simply outrageously high, and there were even fewer people of a small force like them who could enter it. The only person who has been able to enter Linglan Mansion in the Western Barren Valley for so many years is Chu Tianwu. However, it was different now, Linglan Mansion actually gave them three places to pass directly, which was definitely a great opportunity for them.

When there was a lot of discussion in the audience, Chu Tianfan frowned slightly, and he was a little surprised in his heart. How could Linglan Mansion make a special exception for the Western Barren Valley? Could it be because of what his eldest brother Chu Tianwu had done?

Linglan Mansion stipulates that only those who reach the Melting Yin Realm before the age of sixteen can they be exempted from all the tests and enter Linglan Mansion directly. However, now the Linglan Mansion suddenly took care of the Western Barren Valley like this, which really made Chu Tianfan puzzled.

"That's what you just talked about?" Chu Tianfan asked softly.

Su Cheng smiled lightly. At this time, Chu Fengmo raised his hand, and only after the audience was quiet did he continue: "However, that master of Linglan Mansion said that only those who won the top three in Gu Dou could obtain this qualification. ”

Chu Fengmo's words made the smile on the young girl's face freeze instantly, and only Ji Qing, Ji Lei, Su Cheng and Chu Tianfan looked at Chu Fengmo indifferently.

This regulation is obviously unfair, the top three in Gu Dou are undoubtedly Ji Qing, Su Cheng and Ji Lei, such three places are simply impossible for them.

"Valley Lord, how could Linglan Mansion take care of our Western Barren Valley like this?" a dark-skinned man stood up and asked respectfully.

Chu Fengmo was silent for a few seconds, and said lightly: "I don't know what's going on, that person just said that my son helped the treasure refiner Fire Waterfall a lot, so he gave the West Barren Valley three places to directly enter the Linglan Mansion." ”

Chu Fengmo's answer couldn't help but make Chu Tianfan's heart skip a beat, how could he think that the son in Chu Fengmo's mouth seemed to be talking about him?

"It turned out to be because of the eldest young master. Presumably, the eldest young master must have done something great for the Linglan Mansion, right?" The swarthy man hesitated for a moment and asked, "But how can this matter have anything to do with the Fire Waterfall? Although the Fire Waterfall is a first-grade treasure refiner, the Linglan Mansion should not cooperate with him, right?"

The swarthy man's words aroused everyone's curiosity, and even Ji Qing and Ji Lei looked at Chu Fengmo in surprise. Although they had long known that the top three in Gu Dou could directly enter Linglan Mansion, they didn't know that Linglan Mansion was for the sake of the face of the Fire Waterfall. And the Fire Waterfall and the West Wilderness Valley are in the future, how can they intercede for the West Wilderness Valley?

Su Cheng also looked at Chu Fengmo with a slight frown, only Chu Tianfan's expression was calm, because he had long known from Wan Hong and them that the Fire Waterfall had become the treasure refiner of Linglan Mansion, and he was also very respected by the other two third-grade treasure refiners. As for why Linglan Mansion cooperated with Fire Waterfall, even Wan Hong didn't know, presumably the master of Linglan Mansion wouldn't tell Chu Fengmo easily, right?

"I don't know. The master of the Linglan Mansion just came to deliver the message, he didn't say much, and I don't want to ask more. After finishing speaking, Chu Fengmo said to Ji Chong: "Second brother, let's talk about Gu Dou." ”

Hearing this, Ji Chong stood up, glanced around, and said loudly: "You don't have to be discouraged, because this year's Gu Dou will be different." ”

"What's the difference?" asked a teenager.

Ji Chong glanced at the young man with a faint smile and said, "In addition to martial arts, this year's Gu Dou will have two competitions. One is a test of strength, the other is a test of physical toughness, and the fight will be put last. We'll decide the top three based on your overall performance in those three games. ”

After listening to Ji Chong's explanation, those teenagers and girls who were originally a little lost suddenly became energetic, although they were not good at martial arts, but their physical strength and physical toughness might not lose to Ji Qing and them.

Ji Qing and Ji Lei's faces changed slightly, although they were very confident in their strength, but they were not sure in other aspects. Strong strength does not mean that the strength and physical toughness are stronger than others.

"Brother Tianfan, in this way, you will have hope. Su Cheng smiled and whispered in Chu Tianfan's ear, and Ji Qing's face couldn't help but become even more ugly.

Chu Tianfan pinched Su Cheng's nose lightly, squinted at Ji Qing from the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I originally had hope." ”

Su Cheng glared and said, "Pride makes people fall behind. ”

After speaking, Su Cheng pouted and turned his face away.

Chu Tianfan's gaze stayed on Su Cheng for a few seconds, and when he turned his head back, he happened to come into contact with Ji Qing's gloomy and vicious eyes.

"Have you finally revealed your true face in front of me?" Chu Tianfan muttered to himself, and then turned his gaze to Ji Chong on the stage.

Chu Tianfan knew that Ji Qing would find trouble with him because Su Cheng was too close to him, so after he knew Ji Qing's true face, instead of staying away from Su Cheng, he often stuck with Su Cheng. He is not a wicked person, but he is definitely not willing to be a good person who is bullied and played with. Therefore, he knew that Ji Qing liked Su Cheng, but he was deliberately angry with him, the purpose was to force Ji Qing to show his true face.

"I've said everything I need to say, but as for what the competition is, I won't tell you now, you just have to train hard. After Ji Chong finished speaking, he looked at Chu Fengmo and asked, "Gu Master, do you have anything else to say?"

"You have also heard the words of the second brother, and I have nothing to say, so you should hurry up and go back to practice, Gu Dou will be held on time in a month. ”

Hearing Chu Fengmo's words, the young girls in the audience immediately stood up one by one and left the conference hall with high morale. Ji Qing and Ji Lei also glared at Chu Tianfan fiercely when they left, obviously these two people already hated him to the core.

After a while, there were four people left in the conference hall: Chu Tianfan, Su Cheng, Chu Fengmo and Ji Chong.

Chu Fengmo stared at Chu Tianfan for a while, walked over slowly with Ji Chong, and said with a light smile: "I really don't know how your kid cultivates, I haven't seen you for a month, and then I broke through again." ”

"Father already knows?" asked Chu Tianfan in surprise.

"Well, Lu Zhi told me when he went to look for me yesterday. ”

"It turned out that Brother Lu said it. Speaking of Lu Zhi, Chu Tianfan asked with some confusion: "Why didn't Brother Lu come today?"

Chu Fengmo sighed helplessly and said, "I told him the news in advance, and he said that with his talent, he is not worthy of entering the council hall, let alone participating in Gu Dou. ”

"Brother Lu should lack self-confidence, right?" said Su Cheng in a low voice.

"He's a simple and honest kid, but he lacks self-confidence, so you can spend more time with him. Chu Fengmo finally patted Chu Tianfan on the shoulder, and walked towards the outside of the conference hall.

"Good boy, good talent, I hope you can bring me some surprises this year's Gu Dou. Ji Chong smiled heartily.

Chu Tianfan smiled and nodded, Ji Chong also nodded appreciatively, turned around and walked out of the conference hall.

"Orange, I may be a little busy during this time, don't come to me, and have time to accompany Brother Lu more. After Ji Chong left, Chu Tianfan said seriously. He was very worried that Lu Zhi would close himself off, but there was a look of determination in his eyes. Maybe he couldn't make Lu Zhi confident, but he said that if he wanted to protect Lu Zhi, he must do it.

Su Cheng looked at Chu Tianfan with a reluctant expression, and pouted: "Brother Tianfan first disappeared for a month for no reason, and now he doesn't want Orange to look for you, doesn't Brother Tianfan like Orange?"

Chu Tianfan turned around helplessly, flicked Su Cheng's forehead, and said with a light smile: "Of course not." It's just that Gu Dou is about to start, I can't fall behind, right?"

"Then I'll accompany you to cultivate, right?" Su Cheng showed a sweet smile, Chu Tianfan couldn't help but have a headache, does this girl have to pester him?

After a moment of silence, Chu Tianfan sneered: "It's better not to, I'm used to cultivating alone." ”

Seeing that Chu Tianfan disagreed, the smile on Su Cheng's face instantly turned into an indignant expression, and he glared at Chu Tianfan fiercely, and wanted to leave.

Chu Tianfan hurriedly grabbed Su Cheng's hand and said, "Okay, don't be angry." When the valley bucket is over, I'll accompany you every day, okay?"

Hearing this, Su Cheng turned around and asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Of course it is. However, you have to make sure to enter the top three in Gu Dou, otherwise you will be punished and you will not be allowed to see me for three months. ”

"Well, Orange will do it. ”
