After that, Lei Li told Ye Ling a lot of knowledge, and it was not until the sun set and the sky began to appear dim yellow that Ye Ling returned to his courtyard with excitement.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

Ye Ling jumped and pushed open the door of the courtyard, and then shouted towards the courtyard. Now he has long forgotten the pain of falling from a tree and the fatigue after training, and his immature little face is full of joy.

"Brother Ye Ling!"

The figure of the mother did not appear, a familiar voice reached Ye Ling's ears, Ye Ling's eyes lit up, and a familiar figure came into view:

It was a thin figure, with black hair, tied in a ponytail, and on the ponytail was a beaded hairpin, on which hung a tassel, and when she spoke, the tassel swayed. She has a fair and pure face, soft and fine skin. The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, and the eyes are sparkling like stars. There is a small mouth under the bridge of the small nose, the lips are thin, the corners of the mouth are slightly curved upward, with a little sad smile. The whole face is delicate and beautiful, so refined, there is no trace of fireworks in the world. She wore a white shirt with silk flowers and a white pleated skirt. Sitting there, dignified and noble, quiet and elegant. It is so pure, tender, like a budding hibiscus, and it is not clean.

Seeing her, the smile on Ye Ling's face became even stronger, and he smiled and said, "Zihan, why are you here?"

The girl stood up and happily jumped to Ye Ling's side, tilting her head to look at him, the dim rays of the sunset shining on Ye Ling's face, Ye Ling felt a little hot in his cheeks.

"I'm here to play with you, I haven't seen you in so many days. ”

The girl spoke, a little grumbling in her tone.

Her name is Wu Zihan, and she is a child picked up by the Ye family's seniors from outside, but the seniors died in that battle along with Ye Ling's father. The homeless Wu Zihan continued to stay in the Ye family, because of Ye Ling's father, Wu Zihan and Ye Ling have been playing together since childhood. is Ye Ling's best playmate in the Ye family.

Ye Ling looked at the cute girl in front of him, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart. Now Wu Zihan, who is also ten years old, has grown up a lot, and his appearance is considered top in the entire Ye family. The setting sun was imprinted on the delicate cheeks of the girl, reflecting a faint light. Ye Ling was suddenly a little stunned, in the Tianfeng Continent, he could already get married at the age of fifteen, and at the age of eleven, he had already reached the age of the beginning of love. When he was a child, he didn't realize it, but at this moment he suddenly realized that the girl he had played with since he was a child was so beautiful.

"Ye Ling, you're back, then hurry up and eat!"

Cheng Ying's voice sounded, pulling the distracted Ye Ling's thoughts back.

"Ahh

Ye Ling agreed, then looked at Wu Zihan and said with a smile: "I've been busy exercising lately, so I don't have time to come to the Library Pavilion to play with you." ”

The Library Pavilion is an important treasure of the Ye family, which houses many martial arts and books of the Ye family. After the death of the predecessor of the Ye family who adopted Wu Zihan, Wu Zihan helped take care of it in the library by himself, and then lived nearby.

Looking at Ye Ling's stupid appearance, Wu Zihan burst out laughing. Then he grabbed Ye Ling's arm and said:

"I know that Brother Ye Ling wants to prove himself in the martial arts test half a month later, and I also believe in Brother Ye Ling. Also, don't forget that I'm also going to take part in the martial arts test this year. ”

Ye Ling felt the soft touch coming from his arm, his heart beat for a while, and he shook his head a little strangely, Wu Zihan has often done this action since he was a child, but why did he feel very strange today.

He shook off the strange feeling and looked at Wu Zihan answering what she had just said, if someone mentioned to him before today, Wu Zhi Ye Ling would only bow his head, he hated to face this topic. The martial arts test is once a year, and it is only a test when you are ten years old, but from the second year onwards, you will have to compete with your peers. After the end of the martial arts test last year, Ye Ling's heart thought about turning over in this year's martial arts test, but no matter how hard he tried, he only improved his spiritual power to the fifth stage. Although his body was indeed much stronger, Ye Ling was still very disappointed in himself. But today is different, after meeting Lei Li today, his heart is now full of confidence. Although there is only half a month left in the martial test, he believes that he has a way to become much stronger in this half month.

"yes, I forgot that you're ten years old this year!

Ye Ling looked at Wu Zihan, who was half a head shorter than him, with confidence in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, forming a beautiful arc in the sunset.

Wu Zihan was a little stunned, he knew Ye Ling's condition, so he always encouraged Ye Ling, what she admired most about Ye Ling was his smile that he could treat confidently no matter what happened. But Wu Zihan always felt that today's Yeling was different.

A moment later, Wu Zihan burst out laughing, and the sound of a silver bell-like laugh rippled in the evening air.

"Yes!"

She nodded heavily, she liked this confidence in Ye Ling.

Cheng Ying stood in the room, looking at the young boys and girls who came in with their arms in hand, with a relieved smile on their faces.

Wu Zihan is indeed very beautiful, in Cheng Ying's opinion, even among the real descendants of the Ye family, there is no one who is more beautiful than her. Beauty is always popular, even if Wu Zihan is not a descendant of the Ye family, Cheng Ying likes her very much. It would be nice if her son could marry her, she thought to herself.

Ye Ling and Wu Zihan naturally didn't know what Cheng Ying was thinking, and after entering the house, both of them were attracted by the fragrant meal. Ye Ling sat down, a day's training had made him hungry for a long time, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to sweep frantically.

Wu Zihan looked at Ye Ling with a smile, because she was not a descendant of the Ye family, everyone else looked down on her when she was a child, and only Ye Ling would always play with her. When she grew up, everyone treated her better because of her appearance, but she only felt that warm feeling when she was with Ye Ling.

"If only I could be with Brother Ye Ling forever!"

Wu Zihan picked up a small piece of white rice with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, looked at Ye Ling, who was eating wildly, and thought secretly in his heart.

・・・・・

At the beginning of the night, the people are not sleeping, and the town is in a quiet and peaceful place. The silvery moonlight shone on the ground, and there was the mournful cry of crickets in the courtyard. The scent of the night fills the air, weaving a soft net that envelops all the scenery. All the eyes touch is something covered with this soft net, not a single grass or tree, it is not as realistic as in the daytime, they all have a vague, empty color, each of which hides its subtleties, keeps its secrets, and makes people feel like a dream.

Ye Ling sat alone in his yard looking up at the starry sky and muttered to himself:

"Half a month, can I prove myself in half a month?"

Wu Zihan walked with Ye Ling after dinner and went back, she can't stay too late outside as a girl, although no one cares about her, but she knows how to repay her kindness by taking over the work of taking care of the library at a young age, and she knows more about the reserve that girls need.

Ye Ling also enjoyed his time with Wu Zihan, but now there were obviously more important things for him.

"Tell me what's going on with your martial arts test!"

The sudden sound frightened Ye Ling from the grass, and after a moment he breathed a sigh of relief, because he reacted that it was the voice of thunder, and this voice sounded in his head, and others couldn't hear it at all.

Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Lei Li: "Master, you scared me to death!"

Ye Ling has not yet reached the level of martial artist, so he can't control his mental power yet, and he can only communicate with Lei Li now by talking. Lei Li told him that after he reached the martial artist, he would be able to communicate with Lei Li in his heart.

"Hahaha, silly boy. In the future, you have to get used to it, and I may often teach you things out loud or remind you of something. ”

Lei Li's words with laughter sounded in Ye Ling's mind.

Ye Ling nodded: "Yes, master, I know!"

Lei Li then said: "Well, tell me what the martial arts test is all about, I care a lot about your appearance." I'll see if I can improve your strength before the martial arts test!"

After saying this, Ye Ling's whole face became a little hot again, and he nodded excitedly.
