Chapter 171: Temptation
Everyone went around and around along the way, and the throne palace looked really tall and mighty from the outside, like a steel fortress, and the whole body exuded a cold light, making people dare not approach at will.
However, the design of the interior structure is very impersonal, it takes a long time to get from one room to another, the road in the middle is complicated, like a maze, and there are all kinds of decorations that dazzle you, if you don't live here all the year round, you will definitely not find your way in this place.
Xiao Lin didn't pay attention to the surrounding scene all the way, either he lowered his head and walked forward silently, or he kept staring at the three figures in front of him, scanning back and forth on the other party's body.
Su He has been quietly following Xiao Lin's side, watching all this child's every move, and slowly has a conjecture in his heart, maybe Xiao Lin really has some relationship with the Jialan Empire.
Although Xiao Lin has tried very hard to restrain his emotions, he is a child after all, but he has not been so deep in the city's joy and anger, and there are still some subtle expressions that have been captured by the three Su He around him.
Su He is okay, after all, he is on Xiao Lin's side, and he doesn't care much about Xiao Lin's origin, even if this child is from the Jialan Empire, he can't change their master-apprentice relationship.
However, the throne and the middle-aged man, the two old foxes, each had their own ghosts, Xiao Lin's every move naturally failed to escape their eyes, and the corner of his eye saw Xiao Lin's actions in the corner of his eye when he communicated, but his face was silent, full of gentle smiles, but his heart was full of thoughts.
After going around for a long time, they finally came to the training ground of the Throne Palace, and the two guards at the door respectfully opened the gate and let the Throne and his party walk in.
This training ground is not much bigger than the training ground where Xiao Lin fought with the barbarians before, and the surrounding decoration is also more gorgeous and high-grade, he estimates that this should be the place where the throne himself trains alone, and it is generally difficult for outsiders to enter.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Garan Empire's delegation this time, he probably wouldn't be qualified to visit this place.
However, what makes Xiao Lin a little helpless is that he can really see a wine cabinet everywhere he goes in the throne palace, there was a very tall wine cabinet in the throne reception room before, and now he runs to the throne training ground, which is a special place for cultivation, and it turns out that there is still a big wine cabinet standing next to the martial arts arena, which is full of all kinds of wine, and he will take out a bottle of wine and take a sip when he dares to love throne practice.
"Lord Throne seems to be a real drinker. The middle-aged man couldn't help but say when he saw this scene, "I've seen many wine cabinets along the way." ”
The throne laughed and said: "People, you have to have a little hobby, I'm a boring person, and if I don't have much interest, it's good to take a sip of wine, sit." ”
The throne led the middle-aged man to the viewing platform next to the training ground and sat down, this is a design similar to a bar, a long bar, a few chairs, after everyone sat down, several attendants walked softly and briskly, serving tea, snacks and fruits.
Xiao Lin and Su He were respectful
Standing behind the throne, they are the throne's guards, but they are not qualified to serve at the table, so they can only stand honestly.
The teenagers and girls who came with the middle-aged man were not polite at all, grabbed the snacks and snacks on the table, and began to gobble them up.
The young man looked a little sven chewing slowly like a girl, and the girl didn't care about the image of a lady at all, eating so much, and from time to time she puffed out her cheeks and looked at Xiao Lin a few times, looking at her opponent like that.
Xiao Lin kept lowering his eyes, did not look up at the girl, looked at his nose and nose, looked at his heart, adjusted his breathing, adjusted his mental state, and prepared for the upcoming competition.
"Have I seen you before?" the girl suddenly pointed at Xiao Lin with a piece of apple, and said in a crisp voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. The young man whispered beside him, "It's obviously the first time you've come to the Tianxiang Empire, how can you have seen him." ”
The girl tilted her head, thinking that the boy had a point, stuffed the apple slices into her mouth, and said indistinctly, "That's right." With that, she ate on her own.
When the middle-aged man heard the girl's words, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes swept over Xiao Lin's body sharply, originally he was just curious about Xiao Lin's abnormal behavior, and felt that this young throne guard was a little interesting, but now his opinion has completely changed, he has become curious about Xiao Lin's identity, if it weren't for the Tianxiang Throne sitting on the side, he would probably take off Xiao Lin's mask regardless of his identity.
The throne has always been beside him, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and with a wine glass in his hand, he chuckled and said, "Then let's start." ”
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, reached out and patted the girl's head, and said softly, "Go ahead, be careful." ”
The girl's mouth twitched: "How could Princess Ben lose? With that, her figure flickered, and she landed in the center of the field quickly, looking at the speed she used at will, it was obvious that she had mastered a high-level body technique.
Su He's eyes flashed with melancholy, this girl looked very casual, but this understatement made him feel shocked, at least in terms of body style, Xiao Lin was probably at a disadvantage.
"Go, don't lose the face of our Tianxiang, whatever weapons you want to use, you can take them on the weapon rack. The throne waved casually at Xiao Lin, signaling that he could get off.
Xiao Lin respectfully saluted to the throne, then slowly walked to the edge of the weapon rack and took out a wooden long sword, took it in his hand and knocked it, as if picking a watermelon, and then he nodded with satisfaction, daring to love This wooden sword is already seven minutes ripe, and it is taking advantage of it.
"Can you hurry up, a man is so inked. The princess's patience ran out at once, and she glared at Xiao Lin angrily, wanting to swallow him alive when she saw the posture.
Su He walked to the center of the arena and stood still, beckoning to Xiao Lin and the girl, signaling them to get ready.
Xiao Lin no longer dodged the girl's gaze this time, and stared stunned
He, the emotions in his eyes were a little complicated, but soon this emotional fluctuation was suppressed by him, and his ability to control his emotions during this time in the black court may not have made much progress, but his ability to control his emotions has made great progress.
"Ready. Sukh whispered, "Begin!"
When the words fell, the girl's whole person suddenly rushed towards Xiao Lin, a layer of blue-purple light lit up on her body, and gradually butterflies appeared out of thin air, flying around her, exuding a chilling momentum.
When Xiao Lin saw the group of butterflies, his body trembled obviously, and his steps paused back, but he quickly stabilized his body again, clenched the wooden sword in his hand, and walked towards the rushing girl, the long sword in his hand slashed out, and the sharp sword aura bloomed.
"This kid has some kendo cultivation. The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Lin's posture and thought in his heart.
The throne also narrowed his eyes and watched Xiao Lin's movements, and at the same time glanced at Su He without a trace, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: "Su He's own ability is not weak, and the level of teaching disciples is not bad, he really deserves to be the apprentice of that old guy." ”
Just as everyone was thinking, the sword light and the butterfly group collided, and the sword qi emitted by Xiao Lin shook violently in the air for a moment before it shattered, and the blue-purple butterflies rushed towards Xiao Lin quickly.
Xiao Lin cast a "flying shadow", and the whole person quickly swam in the field along a strange arc, avoiding the pursuit of the butterfly group, and the movements in his hands did not stop, one after another sword light kept bombarding the butterfly group, only to see that the original dazzling butterfly group was dimming little by little, and every time the sword light came, there would be many blue-purple butterflies broken into a point of light.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly when he looked at this scene, and said in his heart: "The gap between talents is not visible for the time being, but in terms of combat experience, this kid is even better, and this girl is still too lacking in actual combat." ”
The throne has always been smiling at the competition in the training ground, although he doesn't like Xiao Lin, but he is still quite confident in the training methods of the black court, even if the talent is insufficient, the actual combat experience will definitely not be left behind, not to mention that now this kid is not too much to say that he is the first talent in the whole continent, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to be born to control a door.
The girl saw that she couldn't succeed in one move, and a sense of anxiety surged on her delicate face, and it seemed that she couldn't quickly take down Xiao Lin, which made her very dissatisfied, only to see her hands dancing quickly in front of her chest, and the butterflies around her suddenly became manic, all of them vibrated their wings violently, and there was a fierce storm brewing in the center of the training ground, which could rise to the sky at any time.
Xiao Lin's figure retreated rapidly, and the Dao Dao sword light was still slashed out in his hand, but before these fragmentary sword qi could get close to the girl's body, they were twisted into pieces by the storm formed by the butterfly's wings and dissipated in the air.
The storm became more and more violent, and the girl stood in the eye of the wind and looked at Xiao Lin with some smugness, her head raised slightly, and she put on a condescending look: "This time look at how you break it!"
Xiao Lin's eyes calmly watched the increasingly violent storm, the storm was there
The air condensed and swirled around each other, as if a hurricane was rushing towards him, ready to be released.
"Throw in the towel. The girl shouted at Xiao Lin, "Otherwise, if this trick continues, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die." ”
Xiao Lin shook his head silently, slowly raised the wooden sword in his hand, pointed at the girl from afar, and suddenly a black flame ignited on his body, the black flame rose to the sky, hovering back and forth in the air, and the next moment turned into a butterfly fluttering its wings in the sky, shuttling back and forth around him.
Immediately afterwards, a violent hurricane also rolled up around Xiao Lin, and the girl was far away, and he beckoned to the other party, as if to say let the horse come.
The girl has been pampered since she was a child, where can she stand this kind of provocation, and suddenly her willow eyebrows straightened, and she snorted coldly: "This is your own death!"
With that, she danced with her palms, and the fierce hurricane swept towards Xiao Lin, rolling up a storm in the sky, only to feel that the entire training ground was trembling.
Su He pointed into a sword, several sharp sword lights slashed out, and stood in the four corners of the training ground, a crystal light curtain instantly enveloped Xiao Lin and the others, and the violent momentum was also locked in it, and it could not be leaked out.
"Good means. The middle-aged man looked at Su He and said with a smile, Su He just bowed slightly in silence and did not speak.
And in the field, the storm cast by Xiao Lin and the girl also collided under the gaze of everyone.
