Maybe the people of those forces outside guessed that the emperor might have summoned Nie Lin because of the strong woman behind him, and this woman entered Nie Lin, it should be that the Ye family wanted to recruit this son.

But in fact, maybe only Nie Lin and that woman knew what was going on in their hearts, and they didn't recruit him to the palace for the sake of the Ye family, they just glanced at it and felt it.

So when Nie Lin came out of the palace safe and sound, someone immediately surrounded him, and everyone had a hypocritical smile on their faces, and they vied with each other to make an invitation, either to invite him to the Jianyue Tower for a banquet, or to invite him to the Holy Banquet Tower to meet friends.

Nie Lin sneered, where did the friend come from in the Holy Banquet Building, he didn't pay attention to this group of people, and walked straight to the Lu Mansion, but this passerby was like a fart, hanging behind him, which immediately attracted the attention of other people in Yanjing.

"Ah, isn't that Nie Lin......"

It seemed that someone had discovered Nie Lin, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly all the eyes around were gathered here, and I saw some girls screaming and rushing over frantically: "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, you are so powerful......"

Seeing the crowd around him scratching up, especially hearing the voices of those girls, Nie Lin almost got goosebumps, and was about to change directions, but when he saw people surrounded him from all directions, it made him feel like there was no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

At this moment, several carriages happened to pass by, and after several fierce swordsmen drove away those who were surrounding Nie Lin, the carriage stopped beside Nie Lin.

Immediately, I saw that the curtain of the carriage in front of me was lifted, and I saw an old man with a smile and said to Nie Lin: "Get in the car!"

Nie Lin didn't know the old man, but when he saw the old man looking at him with concern and love, he suddenly felt good, so he got into the carriage, and the carriage started slowly.

In the carriage, Nie Lin looked at the kind old man and said, "Senior, I didn't ask ...... for advice."

The old man first smiled and said: "Old man Liu Chongyun, the old man often hears Jingtao and Yichen mention you, hehe!"

"It turned out to be the senior of the Liu family, forgive the younger generation for being rude!" After Nie Lin bowed, Liu Chongyun stroked his beard and nodded and smiled: "You are now well-known in the empire, and it is really helpless to be watched by those people, and you can't be angry with them because of this matter, but after getting used to it, just keep a low profile!"

"That's what the seniors said!" Nie Lin said, looking outside through the curtains, and seeing that it was not heading towards the Lu Mansion, he said, "Senior, where are we going?"

Liu Chongyun said: "Your edge in the Sword Boy Competition, as you know today, those sect forces are estimated not to rest, and you live in the Lu Mansion, the defense of the Lu Mansion may not be able to stop the entanglement of those people, so you can temporarily go to the Liu Mansion to stay for a while, and after those people leave, then return to the Lu Mansion!"

"Just ......"

Nie Lin had some doubts, he was going to say something, but thinking about the Peerless Dust Sword, except for him, I am afraid that ordinary people would not dare to be vivid at all, and there was the lotus of the thousand-year-old sword lotus in that baggage, because of the competition, he had not had time to study whether it was true or false, but in the Lu Mansion, it was estimated that no one would think of this, so he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then disturb the seniors!"

After Liu Chongyun nodded, after giving an order to the sword attendant outside, the group went to Liufu.

After entering the Liu Mansion, Liu Yichen seemed very excited, and ran over to see Nie Lin with several children from the family, especially those juniors, pestering Nie Lin to ask questions endlessly, and completely regarded Nie Lin as an idolatry.

After Nie Lin entered the Liufu, he felt similar to when he was in the Liufu in Bazhou, the Liu family was very good, and it didn't make him feel any discomfort, Liu Yichen personally led Nie Lin to arrange a residence for him, which was next door to his residence, but every day the little guys would come to pester Nie Lin from time to time, which was also a big thing for him.

However, Nie Lin's helplessness of being entangled by the little ones in Liu Yi did not happen again that night, and the little guys seemed to have been reprimanded by their parents, and they all restrained a lot.

It's just that it is a challenge, and Nie Lin doesn't know if Lu Zhaonan and Jian Weng have any plans to continue to participate, so after asking Liu Chongyun in the Liu Mansion, Liu Chongyun asked people to pay attention to Lu Zhaonan's news.

That night, Lu Zhaonan and Jian Weng came out of the old emperor very late, and they were immediately noticed by many parties, and the major forces wanted to know what the old emperor had said after talking with these two people for so long, so all of a sudden, there were spies moving around the entire capital, wanting to find out a trace of news.

However, what was unexpected was that that night, Lu Zhaonan and Jian Weng did not return to Lu Mansion, but came to Liu Mansion unexpectedly, which made those who were guarding Lu Mansion pounce.

It's just that the strength of the Liu family is also relatively strong, and those people naturally dare not gather in front of the Liu family, otherwise they will be slapped out, and they can only consider themselves unlucky.

And after Lu Zhaonan and Jian Weng came to Liufu, they called Nie Lin as soon as possible, and did not avoid Liu Chongyun and several important people of the Liu family, so he said in front of Nie Lin: "Linzi, this challenge has changed, there is only one day, it is estimated that you still have to participate, but the challenge has a high degree of freedom, and you can sign a life and death contract, the old man is afraid that those sects and other families will do something, what do you think, if you don't want to participate, the old man doesn't force it!"

Nie Lin said, "I only have one problem!"

Lu Zhaonan said: "Just say it!"

Nie Lin said: "Since you can sign a life and death contract, and all forces want to participate, they must abide by the rules of the competition, so I don't have any worries, I want to know what the bottom line of killing is, and whether the children of the Liu Yang family also participate!"

"The children of the Liu Yang family must participate in the competition, and the killing quota must not exceed three, this is the bottom line of the old emperor after talking to us this time!" Lu Zhaonan said amazingly.

Liu Chongyun finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Lu, what did the old emperor talk about with you, did you reach something with the old emperor?"

Lu Zhaonan said: " Yes, the old emperor will support us to transform the Tianlu Academy into a sword academy, but he asked us to participate in this sword boy challenge in the name of the empire, and win the leader of the East Continent challenge in one fell swoop, because Linzi is the leader of the sword boy competition this time, so he must participate, this challenge, the age must not exceed eighteen years old, after the selection challenge is over, we can return to Bazhou and wait for three months, then we will join the three of them to go to the Changge Empire, the old emperor said, the sword boy challenge launched by the alliance of the two countries will determine the continental status of the Tianfang Empire, and in recent years, the empire has developed rapidly, and there is a momentum of impacting the superior empire, this challenge is also an invitation from them to instigate the Changge Empire and send an invitation to the Heavenly Imperial Family through the high-level of the Sword Pavilion, so if the Heavenly Fang wants to maintain the status of the Eastern Continent, it must participate!"

Liu Chongyun said: "Did the old emperor mention the matter of the shadow guard?"

Jian Weng said: "Among the shadow guards, that woman only controls the two branch forces through the Ye family, and several forces of the royal family are just hidden, just let them make a fuss, and play a role in muddying the waters, see how many big fish will enter the net, if that woman really dares to touch the entire royal shadow guard through the Ye family, the royal family will inevitably have a thunderous blow, more than three hundred years of dominance, the background of the royal family is not something we can grasp and understand!"

Hearing this, Liu Chongyun was a little moved, and said, "Then I'll plan this matter......

Lu Zhaonan said: "The bottom line of the old emperor is that as long as any force does not subvert the dominance of the Heavenly Imperial Family, whether it is supporting the royal family or being neutral, the royal family can turn a blind eye, but if you want to take advantage of the royal family's weakness and do something that violates the bottom line of the imperial family, those forces hidden by the shadow guard will definitely not show mercy!"

Jian Weng said again: "In addition, the old emperor also revealed to us that the Heavenly Imperial Family controls the five 'Holy Sword Killers' in the Blood List of the Sword Pavilion Hidden Yuan Society, so as long as we don't touch his bottom line, he will support us in reforming the Sword Academy and confronting the Nanpei Sword Academy!"

Call!

Hearing this, Liu Chongyun and the others gasped and said, "I can't imagine that the hidden strength behind the royal family is still so powerful!"

Lu Zhaonan said: "So that woman's small movements, we don't have to pay attention to them, it depends on which side will touch the bottom line of the old emperor this time, it will inevitably be the first to be opened, but this secret is known to those who are present tonight, and it must not be revealed to other people, it must be kept absolutely confidential!"

Jian Weng said: "In this case, then let's leave first!" After that, Jian Weng turned his head to look at Nie Lin and said, "You go with us, there are some things we still have to explain to you!"

Nie Lin didn't expect that before he had spent one night in Liufu, this kind of change suddenly happened, and he returned to Lufu with the two.

As soon as they entered the Lu Mansion, the three of them entered the secret room, and Nie Lin said, "Can the old emperor suspect the matter of the Shence Mansion?"

Jian Weng said: "The Shence Mansion has always been extremely hidden, although the old emperor has also heard of it, but he will not suspect us, even if he doubts, he will keep it secret for us, the existence of the Shence Mansion is something that any force will be afraid of, the old emperor wants to protect the dominance of his Tianfang Imperial Family, so he naturally knows what to do, after all, he is not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the Sword Pavilion!"

Nie Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ming said that the challenge competition, signing the contract of life and death, I don't know what the situation will be?"

Lu Zhaonan said: "The venue of the competition will not be in Dianjiangtai, but in the royal hunting ground ten miles east of the city, where there will be five or six levels of sword beasts infested, so this is also a survival challenge, Linzi, if you meet a strong enemy who is not an opponent, take the initiative to hand over the identification card on your body, the other party should not be a killer, there are only three kills in the game, and permanent disability is also counted, if there are more than three, then the contestants will not escape death and will be erased, so you have to remember this!"
