At night, in the small pond deep in the purple bamboo forest, a bonfire danced with cheerful flames, rolling the golden piece of meat that had been roasted, making it diffuse with a rich fragrance.

Just looking at it makes people's appetite move.

The greedy little stone man is about to drool.

Several times, this little guy couldn't help but eat it secretly, and then was carried over by Wang Man, who could only wait aggrievedly and aggrieved at the moment, watching with blank eyes.

Li Shijiu slapped the mud seal of the wine jar, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine permeated the air, he lifted it with one hand, and after touching the wine jar in Wang Man's hand, he drank it in a big gulp, and the overflowing wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth and flowed through his chest, quite a chivalrous drunken posture.

Wang Man laughed, then raised his head and swallowed a jar of fine wine into his stomach, two or three jars the size of a fist, and the wine in it was drunk dry by him in one gulp.

"Well, the meat is grilled. ”

At this time, Wang Man's eyes lit up slightly.

When the little stone man heard this, he babbled, smiled, moved slightly, and swished, grabbing the golden buttery roast with one hand, and his big eyes were bent into a crescent moon.

"Little thing, do you need to be in such a hurry if you have something to eat?" Seeing this, Wang Man couldn't help laughing and scolding, and also stretched out his hand and tore off a large piece of meat.

Li Shijiu pointed his finger like a sword, and when he pointed forward, a sword qi shot out, cutting off a piece of meat that was not big or small, but it was the most delicious part of the whole barbecue.

"It smells so good. ”

After eating, he exclaimed.

"I'm an expert at barbecue, and I think back then, the girl in the village, it wasn't because I had excellent cooking skills that I was fascinated by. Wang Man smiled.

"Brag. Li Shijiu slapped open a jar of mud again, lifted it, and touched Wang Man before he smiled and said.

"I'm not bragging, when you get to my village in the future, you'll know how popular I am. Wang Man shouted.

"Well, trust you. Li Jiu said with a smile.

"Hmph. Wang Man raised his head and snorted.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that these two outstanding young powerhouses in Dongzhou would talk about these topics when they met in private.

However, in fact, this is also normal, although the two of them have all kinds of halos, in fact, they are still young people, especially Wang Man, who is only seventeen years old now.

"If Dongting Academy doesn't accept you, what are you going to do next?" After laughing, Wang Man's face became slightly more serious, and he said in a deep voice.

Li Shijiu was stunned, and then glanced at Wang Man with "resentment", and said: "Follow you, although all kinds of brilliance have been taken away, but I think my reputation has spread among various big forces, and there will always be those who dare to accept me." ”

Wang Man touched his chin.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed as Li Shijiu said, no matter who follows him, in the end, it will be reduced to a green leaf that sets off the flowers.

He was suddenly smug and said, "I can't help it, who told me to have such a talent against the sky, alas, helpless, helpless." ”

Li Shijiu glanced at Wang Man, and said angrily: "Come on, if you get cheap, you will sell well." ”

After all, the relationship is different, and there are not too many taboos between the two to make jokes.

Wang Man also showed his true nature, with a little pride and self-appreciation.

"Little stone man, you little guy, in such a short time, you actually ate such a large piece of barbecue. When Wang Manzheng was proud, his head turned slightly, and he saw the little stone man patting his bulging little belly with his hand, and a trace of satisfaction appeared in his big eyes, and he screamed angrily.

The oversized barbecue meat was left with only a pair of clean bones, scattered on the ground.

"Babble. The little stone man's eyes narrowed, and he babbled and burped.

The two of them were so angry that they both shook their heads at the end and put a piece of roast meat on the campfire again.

"Come, drink. Wang Man mentioned the wine jar.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the bamboo shadow is swaying.

The campfire beats, and the smell of barbecue is carried far away by the breeze.

It was in this atmosphere that the two of them ate meat, drank wine, and talked about Tianming.

Before you know it, the morning sun rises, and the golden sunlight shines on the earth.

The morning sun, in the cold morning breeze, brings a trace of warmth, and the green bamboo leaves are inlaid with a layer of gold.

Those scenes are extremely beautiful.

Wang Man and Li Shijiu both stood up energetically, and with a wave of their hands, they cleaned up this place, and as for the little stone man who had fallen asleep, it was taken back by Wang Man into the bag of six Qiankun.

"Excuse me, is Senior Brother Wang Man here?"

At this time, a voice came from outside the bamboo forest.

Wang Man was slightly stunned, he hadn't had time to tell anyone the news of his return, but he didn't expect that the next day, someone would come to the door.

Then, as soon as Wang Man's body moved, he swept out gently, that action seemed simple, but in a few breaths, he had disappeared out of sight.

Li Shijiu naturally followed Wang Man out, and soon, he came to the outside of the Purple Bamboo Forest, and when he looked forward, he found a young man about his age standing there.

"This junior brother, what are you looking for me?" Wang Man asked after he stopped.

His sudden appearance startled this person, and then he smiled slightly: "This time, the Grandmaster asked me to come here and asked me to take my senior brother and Brother Li Nineteen to meet the dean. ”

After finishing speaking, this person couldn't help but take a closer look at Wang Man, although some of the things that Wang Man did in Qingdu Tian had not yet spread, but before that, he was already a legend of Dongting Academy, and was regarded as an idol by countless students.

This person was able to get close to this "legend", of course, he couldn't help but observe, but after glancing at Wang Man, he was slightly shocked in his heart: "It is worthy of being the top of the Qingyun list, and when I face him, it is like facing an unfathomable abyss." This kind of feeling is generally only given to me by the famous teachers of the Ninety-Nine Mountains. ”

Then, his eyes rolled slightly, looking at Li Shijiu behind Wang Man, and he also felt an unfathomable taste, and his heart was a pang.

"This Li Nineteen is also quite extraordinary, no wonder the Grandmaster looked cautious when he mentioned him. ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be the grandmaster, since this is the case, we will not delay, junior brother, you lead the way. Wang Man and Li Shijiu glanced at each other, then turned their heads and said to the young student.

It seems that Zong Wanshan went to the dean of Dongting Academy to discuss the matter of Li Shijiu, and the result has been reached.

"Okay, come with me, you two. The young academy put away the surprise in his heart, smiled slightly, and nodded and said. Then the spiritual power of the two legs surged slightly, turned into a phantom, and flashed forward, and its speed was actually very fast.

However, such a speed is naturally nothing for Wang Man and Li Shijiu, and they can keep up very easily.

Soon, under the leadership of the young student, Wang Man and Li Shijiu came to Donglai Peak, where the dean lived, this mountain was purple all over, the highest among the ninety-nine mountains, majestic and atmospheric.

"The Dean and the Grandmaster are waiting for you in that house. After climbing the mountain, the young student pointed forward and said.

Wang Man and Li Shijiu looked forward, only to see a small wooden house on the top of the peak, where the trees were lush, and it was very simple.

Both of them showed a hint of surprise on their faces, they didn't expect that the residence of the dean of the East Ting Academy would be such a simple place.

"Go in by yourself, the dean is there, I don't dare to disturb easily. The young academy glanced at the wooden house in awe, and it was the way.

Wang Man and the others nodded, their bodies moved, and they walked into the small wooden house, and the young student, who stayed here for a short time, left.

"You're here. ”

In the middle of the wooden house, two people were sitting.

One is Zong Wanshan, and the other is the dean of Dongting Academy, he looks like a middle-aged man, his face is very serious, and he looks quite majestic.

This sentence is what he said, and the low tone sounded in the ears of the two, and naturally, it gave people a sense of majesty and power.

"Meet the Dean and the Grandmaster. ”

The two of them bowed in unison.

"Well, what happened in the Qingdu Heaven, Wan Shan has already told me, Wang Man, you are doing very well, there is nothing wrong with it, with the protection of my Dongting Academy, the three great families want to find you trouble, but they don't want to. ”

The head of the East Courtyard first stared at the two of them for a while, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, because he sensed the strength of the two of them, even a person of his status could not control the shock in his heart.

After a while, the dean slowly spoke to Wang Man, and his tone was full of a strong self-confidence, and he did not condemn Wang Man's behavior in the Qingdu Heaven, but praised it.

"Thank you, Dean. When Wang Man heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, although he had expected it before, but when he heard the assurances of the head of the East Courtyard himself, he began to be very happy.

"I don't know, how are you going to arrange it?" Then, Wang Man asked a little impatiently, Wang Man was more concerned about Li Nineteen's current situation than himself.

After all, killing the heir of the head of a great family, as well as an ancestor, is not a trivial matter, Wang Man has Dongting Academy as a backer, and he is not afraid of anything, but Li Shijiu, who is alone, is different.

"Nineteen's situation, I understand everything. The dean nodded, and when he looked at Li Shijiu, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Such an outstanding young powerhouse is exactly what I am eager for in Dongting Academy. When he said this, the dean sighed lightly, "However, it is logical for my Dongting Academy to protect you Wang Man, and their big forces, even if they have a grudge in their hearts, they can't say anything." ”

"But if I include Li Nineteen, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a provocation by these families, and the two sides will not give up without a fierce confrontation, and maybe there will be a battle between big forces in the end. ”

"So. The dean looked at Li Shijiu seriously and said, "I can't accept you." ”

Hearing this, Li Shijiu smiled bitterly and said, "The junior knows that the academy can shelter me for this time, and I am already very grateful. ”

Wang Man hurriedly said, "Dean!"

If Dongting Academy does not accept Li Shijiu, his situation will be very dangerous.

Zong Wanshan laughed on the side and said, "Boy, what's the hurry, we haven't finished talking yet." ”

"Huh?"

Both of them were slightly stunned.

The dean said to Li Shijiu: "I, Dongting Academy, although I can't accept you because of these sensitive reasons, but with your talent, some other forces will not be afraid of the trouble behind you. ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the dean's majestic face, and he said, "For example, the Southern Wilderness Army!"

"Southern Wilderness Army!"

Hearing these three words, Wang Man and Li Shijiu were both slightly surprised.

This army, located in the south of Dongzhou, specializes in guarding against the hundreds of sects and thousands of sects in the southern wilderness, and its strength is extremely powerful, and it is an army on the same level as the Beidou Army and the Burial Heaven Army.

The million Beidou Army, with the killing of immortals and the killing of immortal giants, can only be described as "terrifying", and the strength of the army with the same name as it will naturally not be far behind.
