"The hour has come!"

The four words slammed into Elder Xiao's heart, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch.

In the past few decades, since he entered the sect, he and Elder Lin have fought countless times openly and secretly, although they have occasionally won and lost, but no one is convinced.

This battle is not big or small, it is not only related to the issue of face, but also affects their status in the sect and the power of the faction.

Chen Heng has not appeared so far, once the assessment is announced to begin, it is equivalent to Chen Heng taking the initiative to abstain, and Elder Xiao will naturally lose this bet.

Although he was a little rash when he made a bet, he didn't turn back when he opened his bow, and no matter what, he was not allowed to lose without a fight.

While being annoyed in his heart, Elder Xiao also regretted it a little, not regretting the bet with Elder Lin, but regretting that he didn't pay attention to Chen Heng at the beginning.

If he could keep Chen Heng and give the other party more guidance, with his Elder Xiao's cultivation, no matter how poor Chen Heng's qualifications were, he would at least be able to compete with Long Xiangyu recommended by Elder Lin, how could he be as passive as he is now?

But it's too late to say anything now, not to mention that Chen Heng hasn't shown up so far, even if he comes, he can't guarantee that he will be able to defeat Long Xiangyu.

Looking at the playful look on Elder Lin's face, Elder Xiao knew that the other party was waiting for him to bow his head, but with his temperament, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to speak.

Just as Elder Xiao's face was full of iron, a beautiful girl with a graceful figure walked over slowly, stopped behind Elder Xiao, raised her willow eyebrows, and said to Elder Lin:

"Second Elder, please forgive Yu Yi for being rude, Senior Brother Li said earlier that he had seen Chen Heng go up the mountain, maybe he was on hold because of something, I believe he will be there soon. Since you made a bet with my uncle, you don't want to end the game without a winner, what do you say?"

As soon as this beautiful girl who suddenly came over appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of several people around her.

The young man, who had been standing behind Elder Lin and was silent, suddenly raised his head, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was affectionate and in love.

This girl is naturally Xiao Yuyi, because she is the niece of the three elders of the sect, and at the same time has an extraordinary temperament, everyone in the door loves her, even Elder Lin is no exception.

Xiao Yuyi meant that if Chen Heng didn't arrive, the gambling contract would not take effect, and it could only be regarded as a tie, not that her uncle lost.

Although he knew that Xiao Yuyi was squeezing him with his words, Elder Lin didn't get angry at all, but said with a smile: "What Niece Xiao said is that the old man will wait a little longer." But there is only one tea at most, and if he is not yet, then the old man cannot be blamed. ”

After speaking, Elder Lin still maintained a smile on his face, glanced at Elder Xiao, who had an ugly face, and then sat back in his place.

The latter snorted heavily, don't look over.

"That's nature, it's enough time to have a cup of tea. ”

Xiao Yuyi secretly added in his heart, "Maybe!"

In fact, she was also a little puzzled in her heart, she had received the news that Chen Heng had gone up the mountain more than an hour ago, but until now she was still nowhere to be found, and she didn't know where she had gone.

Although she also knew that with Chen Heng's character, since she had agreed, she would definitely not run away, she still couldn't help but worry about Chen Heng.

If Chen Heng can't come to the top of the mountain on time, can't participate in the assessment, and can't enter the sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult for his uncle to let him go.

After all, it was because of Chen Heng's relationship that Elder Xiao lost face.

Xiao Yuyi knew Elder Xiao's personality too well, and once he got up, even if the master came forward, he couldn't pull him in.

At this moment, the old man sitting in the middle spoke.

"Since you have reached a consensus, the old man has no objections, but the assessment of the sect is not a child's play, and it cannot be postponed again and again. ”

His voice was full of majesty and unquestionable, and his expression was unwavering, no matter how Elder Lin and Elder Xiao fought each other before, there was no change.

But as soon as his words came out, the two elders converged at the same time and said respectfully, "Yes, Great Elder!"

After waiting for a while, with the passage of time, Elder Xiao's face became ugly again, and Xiao Yuyi's heart became more and more worried, his pink fist had already been clenched tightly, and his palms were full of sweat.

Elder Lin glanced at Xiao Yuyi and said with a smile: "Niece Xiao, take it easy, it doesn't matter if that kid doesn't come." ”

After a pause, he changed his words and sighed lightly: "There are a lot more people who go up the mountain to participate in the assessment today than in previous years, and there are not a few people with good qualifications, I don't know how many people can be ranked compared with the kid that Xiao's niece brought up the mountain?" ”

Xiao Yuyi didn't know what Elder Lin wanted to say at first, but when he heard it, he finally understood that he was actually praising his own people in disguise, and a trace of strangeness suddenly rose on his face.

Turning his head to look, he happened to see a hint of smugness flashing in the eyes of the young man standing behind Elder Lin.

The latter raised his head and happened to meet Xiao Yuyi's gaze, and there was a hint of aggression in his expression, which made Xiao Yuyi feel uncomfortable for a while, and he couldn't help but snort lightly and turn his face away.

"Elder Lin, excessive self-confidence is called arrogance, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue in the wind?!"

Seeing that his niece was being bullied, Elder Xiao finally couldn't sit still, and his voice raised a lot, fully showing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

After arguing with Elder Xiao for many years, Elder Lin naturally knew the other party's temperament, and the more angry the other party was, the more calm he became.

Therefore, Elder Lin just smiled indifferently and said unhurriedly: "Whether you are confident or arrogant, at least under the old man's door, there will be no cowards who run away." ”

"You ......"

Sure enough, after listening to Elder Lin's words, Elder Xiao's face was full of anger, and he instantly shot the case, pointing at Elder Lin and preparing to scold.

However, the sudden angry shout made him and Elder Lin tremble together.

"Sit down!!"

The Great Elder glanced at the two of them separately, and said with a cold face: "As an elder of the sect, you can't pay attention to proportions in front of everyone's eyes? Are you going to let your disciples see jokes?"

The authority of the Great Elder in the sect was something that no one dared to violate, even if he was in charge of the sect, Zhang Lingfeng would give three points to him, not to mention that it was Xiao and Lin Erlao, who were immediately held back and did not dare to make a sound.

In fact, Xiao Yuyi had seen such a scene many times before, so he didn't care about it, but he was secretly anxious in his heart, and as soon as the Great Elder spoke, it proved that time had passed.

She kept scanning the crowd, hoping to find Chen Heng's figure, but she was soon disappointed, and no one had gone up the mountain before half an hour.

While Xiao Yuyi was disappointed, the Great Elder finally stood up.

"The time has come, the auspicious time is not to be missed, let's get ready to start!"

As soon as the Great Elder said this, Xiao Yuyi's delicate body was immediately shocked, and her pretty face suddenly turned a little pale, biting her red lips, and her disappointment was even stronger.

sighed secretly in his heart: Chen Heng, you disappointed me too much!

At the same time, Elder Xiao's face also sank, while Elder Lin forcibly hid his smile and showed a smug look.

Although he couldn't defeat his opponent head-on, seeing Elder Xiao's deflated appearance was enough to make him laugh. What's more, this bet on Elder Xiao obviously lost, and after that, he was able to overwhelm the other party.

Raising his head, he was about to mock, but he saw Xiao Yuyi's delicate body behind Elder Xiao shocked again, and his eyes looked straight ahead.

Following Xiao Yuyi's gaze, Elder Lin's face changed, and the smug face that was originally smiling became a little distorted and hideous, and he felt a hot pain on his face, as if someone slapped him in the face.
