The remnant stars on the horizon are still there, looking at the Heavenly Peak from a distance, and on the roof of the Tongfu Inn, the frost and green tiles are lined up one after another.

Xu Fan had been sitting here all night until the sound of roosters came to his ears.

He raised his head, and a round and a great sun was rising from the east, shining on the horizon, surprisingly producing a wisp of purple gas.

That purple qi was sacred and dignified in Xu Fan's eyes, like the first breath that opened the world, and it broke straight into Xu Fan's eyes, attracting the purple yang true qi in his body.

In an instant, the purple yang true qi in the eight veins of his Qi Sutra was like a rushing river, and under the leadership of that purple qi, he developed and strengthened to resist the suppression of the Bodhicitta Sutra, and there were faint signs of breakthrough.

That wisp of purple qi seemed to enter Xu Fan's body, running through the second vein of Ren Du, and wandering in the meridians of the whole body.

Xu Fan only felt relieved, and the Ziyang True Qi that had been suppressed all this time was showing off its might at this time, and it was inadvertently natural, and it was on an equal footing with the Bodhicitta Sutra.

What Xu Fan didn't know was that the purple qi was rare in a hundred years, and the qi here was a chaotic innate qi. It was at the top of the Thousand Peerless Peaks that Ziyang Zhenren who founded the Floating Cloud Sword Sect that he encountered this magical scene and realized his enlightenment in an instant.

This is why for many years, the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect have been cultivating the Purple Yang Secret Book, but none of them have achieved great success, until they gradually declined.

He stood up, and although the dew was cold in the morning, the purple yang true qi that was swimming in his body made him not realize it at all.

After walking to the room, I simply ate a little rice porridge, and then saw Nian Shuiyin, who I hadn't seen for a long time, push the door in.

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment when he saw her come in, since she left last time, Senior Sister has never returned to the inn. Of course, maybe I came back, but I just missed it in Beiban.

Nian Shuiyin saw Xu Fan's thin cheeks, a trace of distress flashed in her heart, put down the pastry in her hand, and said softly: "Xiaofan, are you okay?" ”

Now, Li Haotian has climbed to the top of the branches, and the matter of abandoning Xu Fan has been spreading. Especially the news that Xu Fan had 50,000 taels of silver in his name from the money village, which confirmed the matter.

When Xu Fan saw Nian Shuiyin, his heart warmed, Senior Sister Nian still cared about me. The voice couldn't hear the joy and anger, and said, "Senior Sister Xie cares, I'm fine." ”

After knowing that he was okay, Nian Shuiyin left in a hurry without stopping long.

Before leaving, he took out an invitation card from his hand and handed it to Xu Fan.

"Little junior brother, tomorrow is the celebration banquet, all the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect must participate, yesterday there was already a senior brother who quickly went to the Thousand Peerless Peak to gather the remaining disciples. This is what Senior Brother Fei Yue asked me to bring to you, tomorrow morning, remember to attend on time. ”

Seeing Nian Shuiyin's figure disappear outside the door, Xu Fan held a gilded invitation card in his hand, opened it and looked at the ink that had not yet dried, writing the words Xu Fan.

He is not without self-deprecation in his heart, and he is really ordinary.

Although it is fast, it takes a day for a thousand peerless peaks to go back and forth, and tomorrow morning's celebration banquet, in order to let everyone arrive in time, someone returned to the thousand peerless peaks yesterday to invite the disciples who guard the mountain.

But the invitation card in his hand was clearly not dry, and he didn't know who suddenly remembered that the Floating Cloud Sword Sect had such a disciple as himself.

Li Haotian's departure, in everyone's opinion, seems to have suddenly lost his backing.

However, when did Xu Fan take others as backers?

A nameless flash of anger flashed through his heart, and he slammed his fist into the table.

At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly understood: he was terminally ill, his ability was low, and he didn't even deserve the most basic respect.

After locking the door, Xu Fan put away his messy thoughts, sat cross-legged on the bed, and guided the Ziyang True Qi to swim in the eight veins of the Qi Jing and enter the meditation.

This sitting was several hours, and when Xu Fan opened his eyes, a purple qi flashed from his eyes.

Grunting, Xu Fan touched his stomach and looked at the dark night sky outside, but found that he hadn't eaten for a day.

Fortunately, when Nian Shuiyin was sending the invitation, he brought some pastries, Xu Fan picked them up and ate them, and finally filled his stomach.

Early the next morning, Xu Fan wore the clothes of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, took the sword given by Li Haotian, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

When he went downstairs, the shopkeeper was a little too enthusiastic, which made Xu Fan wonder.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Xu Fan was a martial artist in his eyes in the past, and now he is a silver in vain.

At any time, the profit-seeking nature of a businessman will not change.

When he walked into the City Lord's Mansion, he was led by the people of the City Lord's Mansion to the place where the Floating Cloud Sword Sect was located.

"Xu Shaoxia, in a while, we will hold a celebration banquet in the East Chamber, and then the county lord, the city lord and others will participate, you first meet with the disciples of your faction."

Seeing Xu Fan appear here, those senior brothers just nodded lightly, and they could be regarded as saying hello. Only Fei Yue stepped forward and asked gently, "Little junior brother, your injuries are much better, right?" ”

Xu Fan smiled lightly and said, "I'm worried about the senior brother, the little brother's injury is almost healed." ”

After glancing around, seeing that Su He and Nian Shuiyin were not here, Xu Fan was puzzled: "Senior brother, why can't you see Senior Sister Nian and Master here." ”

Fei Yue glanced at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "Master and junior sister were invited away by the Han City Lord early in the morning, so they should be back soon." ”

Xu Fan sighed, and then sat there alone, watching the other senior brothers gather together in twos and threes, just like the scene when he first went up the mountain.

Without Li Haotian by his side, he became a person again.

After about an hour, a subordinate from the City Lord's Mansion came to invite him, and the disciples stood up, put their swords in place, and then went to the East Wing Annex.

Xu Fan, who came to the City Lord's Mansion for the first time, found that it covered a huge area, and if he walked by himself, he had no doubt that he would get lost. I can't help but wonder in my heart, is it necessary for Han Feng and his family to live in such a big house?

After walking the tea kung fu, I arrived at the East Chamber, which was the place where Li Haotian got the overlord gun.

Sitting down according to the arrangement, Xu Fan looked around curiously, there was a rosewood table in the first place, and then down on both sides.

Xu Fan was on the right hand side, and because he was the youngest in terms of age or entry, he sat at the back. If Li Haotian is still there, it should be the two of them together.

Xu Fan thought to himself, it should be Nian Shuiyin next to him. Just as he was thinking about it, it was a senior brother who sat down.

He naturally knew this person, and he was only one year ahead of Nian Shuiyin, and he was called Wang Duojun.

He asked softly, "Senior Brother Wang, why are you sitting here?" ”

The senior brother surnamed Wang was not talented, and he was very jealous of Li Haotian, but he never dared to show it.

Now I didn't expect Li Haotian to leave, and he was questioned by a sick ghost while sitting here, and his temper suddenly came up, and he said angrily: "What, do I Wang Duojun want to get permission from your senior brother Xu to sit here?" ”

Listening to the strange voice of yin and yang in the place, Xu Fan didn't care, but just explained lightly: "Senior Brother Wang, don't care, I mean that according to your seniority, you should sit in the front, this is Senior Sister Nian's position." ”

Xu Fan didn't mention Nian Shui Yin, but when he mentioned Nian Shui Yin, Wang Duojun was even more annoyed, a woman with ordinary qualifications had a bit of a posture, and she actually hooked the son of the city lord, a typical flying branch and becoming a phoenix, snorted coldly, looked at Xu Fan, and suddenly said with some amusement: "Today's little junior sister is not the same as in the past." ”

He wanted to see how wonderful Xu Fan's face would be after learning the truth.

Wang Duojun had something to say, Xu Fan's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly became silent, just picked up the tea on the table and kept pouring it into his mouth.

After a commotion, it gradually quieted down, but it was a group of people who came in through the door.

Xu Fan saw that the one who was at the forefront was Luo Qiushui, who was the young man in white, and now he also knew that the other party was a woman dressed as a man. He was followed by the city lord Han Yun, the eldest son Han Yu, the second son Han Feng, and the city defense general Zhang Biao, and behind Zhang Biao was his master Su He.

What surprised Xu Fan the most was that it was not Fei Yue and Wei Mian behind Su He, but the little senior sister Nian Shuiyin.

Thinking of what Wang Duojun said just now, a layer of gloom appeared in his heart, and his face became a little ugly.

After everyone took their seats, Luo Qiushui raised a glass of wine and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone here is a meritorious person who has exterminated the Northern Barbarians this time, I have arranged it, and I will reward everyone for their meritorious deeds on a certain day." Today, I borrowed the treasure land of the lord of Hancheng, prepared a little wine and side dishes, and rewarded the gentlemen, please eat and drink to your heart's content, dry! ”

Everyone raised their glasses: "Lord Xie!" ”

Han Yun smiled and flattered: "The county lord is young and promising, and the women don't let the eyebrows be shaved, which makes the lower officials ashamed. If my dog can catch up with the county lord in ten-thousandths, the old man can also smile at Jiuquan. ”

Luo Qiushui waved his hand and said, "The lord of Han City is too modest, the two sons are also dragons and phoenixes among people, and he will definitely be able to pay homage to the prime minister one day." ”

Han Yu and Han Feng hurriedly got up and said in unison: "The county lord Chrysostom praises the two of you." ”

This side is complimenting each other, but the Floating Cloud Sword Sect can only look at it with a blank eye, and say straight in his heart: These people are talking in a roundabout way, which makes it very difficult for people to listen.

At this moment, Han Yun smiled again, stood up, bowed to Luo Qiushui, and said, "Your Majesty, can you ask the county lord to leave a few days later?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Qiushui's eyes, and with a smile, he asked, "If it is reasonable, it is not impossible." ”

Han Yun continued to bow: "It's a shame to say it, I implore the county lord to stay for a few more days, it's really a family matter." ”

As if playing a dumb riddle, not only Luo Qiushui, but even everyone present was confused, and wondered what old man Han had in mind.

Only the Floating Cloud Sword Sect Su He frowned slightly, but then stretched out, as if nothing had happened.

Han Feng was a little excited, a hint of gloom flashed on Han Yu's face, and Nian Shuiyin, who was sitting under the Su River, quietly climbed to the root of his ears with a touch of crimson.

I only heard Han Yun turn to Su He and say, "Sect Master Su, you and I have been friends for many years, and we have a very strong relationship, I don't know if we can go further and become good for Qin and Jin?" My son Han Feng never forgets the girl who thinks about Shui Yin, and his soul is haunted. I, as a father, really can't stand it, so I can only lick my old face and ask your faction for this marriage. ”

Xu Fan, who heard the news, was stunned for a while, and the teacup in his hand fell on the table with a bang, and he turned around a few times, making a piercing sound.
