Shen Lang, who accepted his identity as the eldest master, soaked comfortably in the bathtub, waiting for Gu Hongye to rub his back.

But what I waited for first was the sound of the rubbing of Suosuo's clothes.

Then I saw a piece of clothing and put it on a coat hanger next to it.

It was Gu Hongye's black-background flame-patterned cardigan tunics.

Then there was a fiery red base coat, another two-inch-wide copper-studded cowhide belt, and another black trousers.

In the end, even the corset chest embroidered with lotus flowers on a black background, and even the half-legged leggings were put on the hanger......

Seeing this situation, Shen Lang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly, and coughed dryly:

"Why are you undressing?"

Gu Hongye said in a natural tone:

"Of course, so that your clothes don't get wet."

Shen Lang Road:

"Then you have to wear some of it, right?"

Gu Hongye said:

"But I'm wearing it!"

"Weary?"

Shen Lang was puzzled, glanced back from the corner of his eye, and found that Gu Hongye was really not wearing clothes as he imagined.

It was a sleeveless nightdress, quite long, with the skirt hanging down to the ankles.

But it would be a mistake to think that such a long dress that at first glance only shows only the arms is conservative.

Because this is a gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wings.

With Shen Lang's eyesight, there is not much difference between wearing this skirt and not wearing it.

What Gu Hongye should see and shouldn't see on his body can be seen through by Shen Lang at a glance and at a glance.

Even this hazy, looming feeling is more enticing than a piece of honesty and openness.

Shen Lang felt that his throat was a little dry, and just as he wanted to say something to divert his attention, Gu Hongye had already wiped his back with a soap corner, and then rubbed him vigorously with the old loofah.

While rubbing, she asked casually:

"How's that?"

"Whatever. I have horizontal kung fu, and I can't stand it, no matter how strong you are, I can stand it. ”

Gu Hongye smiled and said:

"So powerful? If I knew this was the case, I should have brought sandpaper to rub your back. ”

“…… Why don't you say latte brushes? ”

"The iron brush is used to brush pig hair when killing pigs. When I was a child, my family slaughtered pigs, and I watched every year, and my favorite thing to watch was the pig killer brushing the pig's hair with an iron brush. Watching the pig hair come down one by one, it was a very enjoyable feeling. ”

"Your hobby...... It's special. ”

"Haha, since I was a child, there are indeed many people who say that I have an eccentric temperament and am not very gregarious."

"You're not socially out of place because you're weird, are you? Remember that when you pretended to be Shen Saburo to arrest you, you opened your mouth and closed your mouth to be 'waste'. I feel that when you get along with other people in your hometown, even if you don't have such a poisonous tongue, you must usually look at people from the corner of your eye. ”

"At that time, it was very careless. I don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, which is indeed a little too arrogant. But not anymore! ”

"It's good to be humble, but you don't have to be overly humble either. Not every martial artist can be like you, in just two or three months, you can start from the fourth grade, break through the realm one after another, and rush to the middle of the fourth grade. What's more, you also have a magical swordsmanship. ”

"So you can afford me? I thought that you, who have cultivated both law and martial arts, have never taken me seriously. ”

"How is that possible? I never underestimate the heroes of the world......"

While chatting casually, Gu Hongye had already helped Shen Lang rub his back neatly.

Shen Lang thought that this was the end of it, but he didn't expect Gu Hongye to suddenly walk to the edge of the bucket, smile at him, and then gently support the edge of the bucket with his palm, leap into the bath, and stand in front of him.

Shen Lang grimaced, "Your clothes are wet." ”

Gu Hongye smiled: "It's okay, this dress is quite thin, it will dry overnight after wringing it out." ”

As he spoke, he slowly sat down opposite Shen Lang and immersed his entire body in the water, revealing only his slender jade neck.

Feeling that Gu Hongye's two soft and tender slender jade feet were rubbing on his thighs with a loofah, Shen Lang said helplessly:

"I'm done rubbing my back, and then I'll be able to do it myself."

Gu Hongye is serious:

"How's that going to work? As a fake maid and a real dowryman, I have to serve to the end. ”

Shen Lang grabbed her pair of jade feet, "You crossed the line." ”

Gu Hongye chuckled:

"Don't you like it?"

Shen Lang thought for a while:

"I said I don't like it, but we haven't reported to Master Mu yet......"

Gu Hongye said:

"It's not serious, that's it, there's no need to report to Master Mu, right?"

Shen Lang shook his head:

"I'm not who I am. I don't like to look up to other people's faces......"

Gu Hongye chuckled:

"Then why don't I just look at your face?"

As she spoke, she took a soft breath and sank her entire head into the water.

Then, strands of hair surfaced like seaweed and spread out in front of Shen Lang.

Shen Lang sighed lightly, couldn't help but raise his hand, and gently pressed the head of Gu Hongye under the water.

Gu Hongye has a mid-stage cultivation of the fourth grade, and he can hold his true breath for a long time.

Therefore, her dive will last for a long time.

After a long time.

Shen Lang stood by the bucket, his arms outstretched, the water stains on his body had been wiped dry, and he let Gu Hongye help him dress.

"What's that footwork of yours...... Who did you learn from? ”

"I didn't learn from anyone. I'm a girl who hasn't left the cabinet. However, my tongue is naturally flexible and can be bifurcated, and sometimes I can't help but wonder if my Gu family ancestor has married a snake demon......"

"The tongue is a gift. But a few tricks...... It can't be self-taught, right? ”

"Didn't I go out of Beijing last year to arrest the flower thief? After killing the flower thief, I seized a book from him......"

"That cheats, is it serious?"

"Of course! Well, let's use it seriously, it's serious kung fu. Husband and wife can improve each other's cultivation together. However, if it falls into the hands of people with unscrupulous intentions, it will become an evil kung fu that harms others and benefits oneself. By the way, just ...... Do you still like it? ”

"Like. That ......"

"You want to learn?"

"Master Mu is too weekdays, so I want to learn two hands and help her relieve her fatigue."

"Actually...... I can also help the Muslims to relieve their fatigue. ”

“……”

"Hahaha, just kidding, if you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Just lend me the cheats to see......"

……

Midnight.

Shen Lang and Gu Hongye each meditated, while the little goblins took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the upper courtyard to reconnoitre.

Even the small fish went - although it has some mobility difficulties on land, it can be allowed to take Xiao Zhao or Xiao Ye up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, find a pond and put it down, so that it can lurk in the pond to guard and respond.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Ya also did not enter the house to reconnoitre.

Xiao Ye hovered in the night sky on guard, Xiao Ya sneaked into the flower garden garden, or in the shadow of the building, and received Xiao Zhao and Xiao Gu who entered the house to reconnoitre.

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Gu have the Wind King Orb and the other have the Yama Blade, which are the two strongest demons except for the little spider.

Xiao Zhao is also a natural night killer and stealth king, Xiao Gu also has a talent for penetration, they enter the house to reconnoitre, basically not afraid of being discovered, even if they are discovered, they have the ability to escape with their whole body.

This night, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Guhou first found the residence of Yao Sheng, the head of the Star Death Sect, the Great Elder Duguwei, the Law Enforcement Elder He Xianfei, and the Chuangong Elder Dugu Xue, and sneaked in and searched carefully.

On the eve of dawn, the little demons all returned to Shen Lang's residence and reported reconnaissance information to him.

Xiao Zhao: "The head Yao Sheng has been meditating in the secret room without any abnormal movements. I searched his residence and found a secret room, a few secret compartments, but there were only some elixirs, exercises, talismans, magic weapons, silver tickets, jewelry, land deeds, etc., and there were no demon-related objects. ”

Xiao Gu: [I, infiltrate Duguwei, residence. The old man, too, has been meditating. He dwelt everywhere, and he didn't, and he found, and demons, and objects. I also, I looked through it, and his collection, the cheats of the exercises, are all serious exercises. 】

Shen Lang groaned for a while and asked:

"What about He Xianfei and Dugu Xue?"

Xiao Zhao: "He Xianfei practiced boxing first, then practiced big guns, and then practiced swordsmanship, knife skills, and long whips, he seems to be a weapon master, and he can use any weapon." I've searched his quarters, but I haven't found any demons. ”

Xiao Gu: [Dugu Xue, I didn't cultivate, I slept before midnight. There are a lot of dwellings, which are in tatters, as if they were accidentally broken during practice. But no, demons are involved. 】

Xiaoya asked in a low voice:

"Lord Silver, could it be a mistake? No one at the top of the Star Death Gate colluded with the Demon God? ”

Xiao Ye combed Ling Yu and said leisurely:

"Rabbit, you're naïve. How much of a sin is it to collude with a demon god? How could a person who colludes with the demon god easily hide the objects related to the demon god in his residence? ”

Xiao Zhao also said:

"Rabbits always like to think too well of people. Those who collude with the demon god must have a very secret base, and the objects related to the demon god must be hidden in the secret base. Usually, activities such as sacrificing demon gods will only be carried out at secret bases. ”

Nightdo:

"Now the problem is how to find the secret base. I even searched the back mountains last night, and even flew in the back mountains and forests for most of the night, but I didn't find anything suspicious. ”

Xiaoyu said: "Will it be hidden underground?" Maybe deep underground, there are some caves, secret rooms, or something. ”

Xiao Gu: [I'll dive back tomorrow night and look for it.] 】

If it is a secret cave hidden deep underground, then the small bone that can turn into a phantom with the talent of "Passing Darkness" and ignoring any material obstacles is obviously the most suitable to find.

Shen Lang slowly bowed his head:

"Alright, that's all for tonight. Tomorrow night, the bones will dive into the ground to find out if they can find anything. There's no need to rush if you can't find it overnight, we have plenty of time to investigate slowly. ”

……

When the sky is just dawning.

Lin Yao, Liang Fengfeng, and Yan Yuwei, the three junior sisters, joined forces to ask Shen Lang to go to the lower courtyard to pass on the gong.

Shen Lang went with them and found that there were more than forty more children on the practice ground in front of the practice hall today, obviously the newly recruited outer disciples yesterday.

After Chen Yifei and the male deacon came out, Chen Yifei taught Shen Lang and other first batch of outer disciples the second move of "Hundred Steps Serial Boxing", and the male deacon taught the second batch of outer disciples the first move.

It may seem a bit unfair at first glance that the disciples who start first can learn a little more than the ones who start later, but in martial arts practice, there is really no need to fight for the efforts of these few days.

For a true genius, don't say that if you learn kung fu a few days late, you will be a few years late, and you can catch up.

It's like Mu Qingxue and Dugu Xue.

And if a top faction like the Star Death Sect wants to maintain the prestige of the sect, what it needs most is obviously a real genius.

As for ordinary disciples, they can also be used to strengthen their momentum and fight down.

After teaching kung fu, Chen Yifei and the male deacon went to prepare for today's enrollment work, and the two groups of outer disciples continued to practice boxing under the supervision of the two inner disciples.

After eating, Lin Yao, Liang Fengfeng, and Yan Yuwei went to practice again, but Shen Lang still went back alone and practiced by himself.

Well, what he wants to cultivate today is the secret book that Gu Hongye borrowed from him.

He planned to spend a day of hard work to comprehend and cultivate, and then have a discussion with Gu Hongye in the evening.

Of course, before reporting to his own leader Mu Qingxue and removing his disguise, he would not be serious with Gu Hongye.

But you don't have to be real about it, do you?

So that night, when bathing, Gu Hongye received Shen Lang's feedback after serving Shen Lang.

So much so that in the end, it was not she who helped Shen Lang put on clothes, but Shen Lang who helped her get dressed.

Even when she went back to the room, it was Shen Lang who carried her back.

Midnight on the same day.

The goblins are out again and go up the mountain to reconnoitre.

This time, it is Xiao Gu as the main force, sneaking in to find possible underground space.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Ye were scattered outside the residences of Yao Sheng, Duguwei, He Xianfei, and Dugu Xue, keeping an eye on the four three-grade bosses, communicating with each other with their hearts.

This night's search also yielded no results. At least at the top of the mountain, no underground space was found.

Next, we can only expand the scope of searching, and we must search submergedly at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, in front of the mountain, and behind the mountain.

And Jiuxian Mountain is a thousand-zhang mountain, how huge the volume is, even if the small bones can penetrate the hidden ground, it is difficult to search the entire mountain in a short time.

In the next few days, Shen Lang maintained a steady rhythm of life.

In the morning, I went to learn kung fu with my three little sisters, practiced by myself during the day, and learned from Gu Hongye at night, while practicing at night, I paid attention to the reconnaissance actions of the little demons, and was ready to send out support at any time.

In this way, he got along better and better with Lin Yao and the other three junior sisters, although he and Gu Hongye did not completely cross the bottom line, they also became more and more tacit with each other, and their cultivation was also steadily improved, and they successfully solidified the seven-grade secret technique "Golden Bell Jar" permanently.

This evening.

Shen Lang was shirtless and lay on the couch.

Gu Hongye stood on his back, wearing only the gauze skirt that was as thin as a cicada's wings, and her snow-white and soft slender feet gently stepped on his back, and the pink jade toes were extremely flexible, always massaging his back acupoints just right.

When he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard Gu Hongye say in a slightly self-reproachful tone:

"I always have a sense of guilt these days."

Shen Lang smiled:

"What's wrong? Worried about being blamed by Muslims? Don't worry, I will report what happened during this time. If she gets angry, I'll be the first to bear the brunt. ”

"I wasn't worried about that. It's just ......" Gu Hongye said seriously: "You have never gone out to investigate these days, and there is no progress in the case, I have a kind of ...... Well, I feel like I've become a red face. ”

Shen Lang smiled, hugged her slender and straight calves with his backhand, and gently rubbed her calves with well-proportioned muscles, perfect curves, and delicate skin:

"You're going to have to worry about that. The investigation has already begun, and although I have never left the lower courtyard for half a step these days, I have already been clear about the layout of the entire mountain gate of the Star Death Gate, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

"I also know the residences of the heads, elders, and deacons of the Star Death Gate, as well as the important places where the Xing Death Gate collects exercises, elixirs, and medicinal materials, such as the Star Death Gate's Scripture Pavilion, Danling Pavilion, and Medicinal Material Warehouse."

Gu Hongye was surprised:

"Really?"

Shen Lang smiled:

"Nature is true."

Gu Hongye was puzzled:

"You've never been out of the commons, so how did you find out? Why didn't I notice it? ”

Shen Lang chuckled:

"I'm using Dao methods. Don't say it's you, Duguwei, the great elder of the Star Death Sect, may not have the ability to detect it. ”

Gu Hongye thought for a while, nodded and said:

"That's right. You are now a four-grade Fa cultivator, and you are fighting a duel in the bright light, Dugu Wei and Yao Sheng may not be able to win you one-on-one. ”

At the beginning of the Black Lotus Demon Cave, Gu Hongye had seen the power of the four-grade law cultivation with his own eyes.

That Mu Qingxue, who was only in the middle of the third grade and had only condensed five of the nine great mysteries, was almost useless in front of the Black Lotus Heavenly Concubine who had the cultivation of the Fourth Rank Dao Law.

The opponent stood up in the tunnel with a defensive spell, and Mu Qingxue, who had not yet put on the golden armor and had not reached the peak of his combat power, was unable to break it at all, and finally everyone had to take the initiative to retreat into the hall dedicated to the Black Lotus Demon Buddha.

Mu Qingxue is not only the object of Gu Hongye's love at first sight, but also the female warrior she admires the most.

But even so, Gu Hongye had to admit that at that time, the Black Lotus Heavenly Concubine of the fourth grade of Taoism was still above Mu Qingxue's strength.

There is no way, at the beginning, the warrior can only use the power of his own body.

Taoist monks, on the other hand, have been exposed to the spiritual powers of heaven and earth since the beginning stage.

Each spell is condensed by leveraging the spirit of heaven and earth.

With the flesh and blood power of a small human body, how can it compete with the power of the vast and boundless heaven and earth?

Because of this, martial artists from the ninth rank to the fourth rank have to be beaten by Fa cultivators who are lower than their own grades.

It wasn't until the fourth rank that the martial artists began to come into contact with the spiritual machines of heaven and earth, and this situation would gradually be reversed.

But even so, it is very difficult for a martial artist who has attained the four-rank mastery to have a chance to defeat the five-rank Fa cultivation one-on-one.

It is also difficult for a third-rank martial artist to deal with a fourth-rank cultivator in a solo fight.

Only when he reaches the realm of the second grade, the martial artist refines the "Baihui Acupoint", undergoes the spiritual empowerment of heaven and earth, transforms the true qi into gangqi, has stronger physical and spell resistance, and can fly freely, at this time, the martial artist will not be so embarrassed in the face of law cultivation.

A second-grade martial artist has the opportunity to win the third-grade Fa Xiu, and when facing the second-grade Fa Xiu, he can also rely on a strong physique, Fa resistance, and high-speed maneuvering to fight with the Fa Xiu, and even if it is not good, he can save his life.

Now Shen Lang is already a fourth-grade Dao law, even if he is not like that Black Lotus Heavenly Concubine, who has all kinds of secret techniques given by the demon god, he is also a strong man who is enough to be on an equal footing with a third-grade martial artist.

Fighting one-on-one, He Xianfei and Duguxue cannot be his opponents.

Duguwei and Yao Sheng may not be able to help Shen Lang.

The method of cultivation was mysterious, and Gu Hongye didn't know what spells Shen Lang had.

But his cultivation is here, if he uses the method of law cultivation to reconnoitre, even if he doesn't leave home, maybe he can really find out something.

"What clues have you found?"

"Not yet." Shen Lang sighed lightly:

"These days, Yao Sheng and the other four Sanpins have not moved at night. The other five elders of the Four Rank Perfections, as well as the deacons, were also practicing at night, and they were having fun, and there was nothing abnormal about them. Nor have they found any demons in their abode. ”

Gu Hongye frowned:

"Is it so hidden?"

Shen Lang bowed slightly:

"It's really hidden. However, I'm investigating the underground of Nine Immortals Mountain to see if I can find any hidden spaces underground. ”

"Nine Immortal Mountain is so big, then you have to find it."

"There's no hurry. We still have a lot of time. ”

"How can I help you?"

"There's nothing I need your help with."

"It's useless for you to make me feel so good like this."

"How so? You have done enough to take care of my daily life and help me with massages and relieve fatigue. ”

Gu Hongye bit her red lips lightly, suddenly lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, and sat down on Shen Lang's back.

There was this thin skirt on her body, and she picked up the skirt and sat down like this, so that Shen Lang couldn't help but lightly snort, and the palm holding her calf also fell on her thigh.

"Today I looked through the cheats and realized a few more kung fu ......"

Gu Hongye leaned over beside Shen Lang's ear and whispered, then gently bit Shen Lang's ear.

……

Early the next morning.

Shen Lang and the three junior sisters came to the door of the Lower Courtyard Chuan Gong Hall together.

Today, the practice ground outside the Chuangong Hall was full of people, and at a glance, it was full of children wearing the practice clothes of the disciples of the outer sect of the Star Death Gate.

The enrollment of this year's Xingdumen has ended, and a total of 478 outer disciples have been enrolled, ranging in age from eleven to fourteen.

But even though a number of 14-year-old boys and girls are enrolled, the 1.86-meter-old "Shen Beihai" is still outstanding.

When he came to the square with the three little sisters, the crowd was still silent everywhere he went, and many children rushed to avoid it to make way for him and Lin Yao.

As the first batch of beginner outer disciples, Shen Lang and the others have actually learned all the ten moves of the "Hundred Steps Serial Boxing", and they can already study on their own, and they can take the assessment in the Chuan Gong Hall once a month later.

But today, Elder Dugu Xue will come to select his own disciples.

Everyone knows that Dugu Xue is a three-grade martial artist, and Daddy Elder Duguwei is a three-grade master. The Dugu family is also said to be very close to the general of Xiaocai, White Tiger Chan.

If she can be selected by Dugu Xue and become her personal disciple, it will be a step to the sky.

Therefore, the first two batches of outer disciples who had learned the Ten Moves Boxing method had all gotten up before dawn today, and they all gathered in front of the Chuangong Hall, waiting for Duguxue to arrive, hoping to be selected by her to accept it.

"Senior Sister Liang, do you think Senior Sister Lin will be chosen? Her hundred-step chain punch can already play the punch style in the tenth move, and Deacon Chen said that she is about to integrate the strength of her whole body, and she may make a crisp sound out of thin air at any time, and officially enter the product. ”

"I don't know if Senior Sister Lin can be selected, I only know that Senior Sister Yan, you and I will definitely not be able to. On the first day of entry, Senior Sister Lin and Senior Brother Shen were the most powerful, Senior Sister Lin was still only able to punch, and Senior Brother Shen was already able to make crisp sounds. ”

"Ah, has Senior Brother Shen already entered the product? How did I not know? ”

"Hehe, Senior Brother Shen didn't practice with us on the surface, but after he went back, he must have secretly practiced. I went to play with the little fire crow the day before yesterday, and I happened to see him practicing boxing, from the first move to the tenth move, the move can make a crisp sound. ”

"Senior Brother Shen is so powerful!"

"Senior Brother Shen and Senior Sister Lin are very powerful, but the next few batches of beginner disciples are also very powerful. In the third batch of beginners, there is a girl named Xue Bing, who, like Senior Sister Lin, can play boxing. The fifth batch of beginners, a boy named Zheng Boyuan, is only eleven years old this year, half a head lower than you and me, and he has only learned six moves, but Deacon Chen said that he can immediately make a crisp sound when he practices all ten moves......"

"Senior Sister Liang, you are so powerful, you know so much."

"Hehe, I just like to make friends and chat......"

Shen Lang listened to Liang Fengfeng and Yan Yuwei talking in a whisper, and then looked at Lin Yao, who was standing straight with a small face next to him, with his hands behind his back, with a nervous and serious face, and said with a smile:

"Senior Sister Lin, don't be so nervous, this year's outer disciples, in terms of root bone qualifications, even if you are not the first, you must be among the top three. It's hard to say about comprehension for the time being, but if Elder Dugu chooses a disciple based on his root bone qualifications, you will definitely be selected. ”

Lin Yao looked sideways at Shen Lang, her cherry mouth pursed tightly, and after a long while, Fang Cai's voice trembled and said:

"Four hundred and seventy-eight people...... You, how do you know that my bones can be included in the top three? ”

Shen Lang smiled:

"I am the prince of the majestic Hou, and my family has produced giants from generation to generation, so I naturally have my own set of identification methods for root bone qualifications."

Hearing him say this, Lin Yao suddenly relaxed a lot, looked up at Shen Lang, smiled gratefully, and asked curiously:

"And who are the other two who can be in the top three?"

Shen Lang said: "It's Xue Bing and Zheng Boyuan that Senior Sister Liang just said." ”

Lin Yaoqi said: "What about yourself?" Ten moves and 100 steps of chain boxing, you can make a crisp sound in every move, and you are already a beginner in nine products! ”

Shen Lang put his hands behind his back and said proudly:

"I'm an outsider, and I don't fit to be compared to other people."

“……”

Lin Yao blinked, and suddenly covered her small mouth and sneered:

"Senior Brother Shen, you really look like a child with pride."

Shen Langqi said:

"I'm only twelve years old, senior sister, I'm a child!"

Lin Yao tilted his head and looked at Shen Lang with a confused expression.

But she soon couldn't hold it anymore, and playfully stuck out the tip of her tongue, and laughed wildly:

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Shen, I always forgot that you were a twelve-year-old child, and I always unconsciously treated you as a big brother......"

Shen Lang grimaced, "It's good that you don't treat me as an uncle or uncle." ”

While he was laughing, the door of the Chuangong Hall was open, and Dugu Xue, who had appeared in front of the first batch of disciples, walked out of the door with his hands behind his back accompanied by Chen Yifei and the male deacon.

Dugu Xue is still dressed the same as that day, with a black suit, a red silk waist, and long hair tied in a ponytail, looking neat and heroic.

However, the eyes are still cold and arrogant, giving people a feeling of being high and unstoppable.

As soon as Duguxue appeared, the practice field, which was full of buzzing just now, suddenly became audible.

All the outer disciples closed their mouths tightly, held their hands behind their backs, straightened their backs, separated their feet, and stood in a straight posture like pine and cypress.

Every child, even if they knew that they had little hope, opened their eyes wide and stared at Dugu Xue with anticipation, hoping that there would be a miracle and be chosen by Elder Dugu as their own heir.

Dugu Xue stood on the steps in front of the door, condescendingly swept over the heads of the people below, and said lightly:

"How many disciples have you accepted this year? Which disciples are the most talented? ”

Chen Yifei arched his hand and said:

"Elder Hui Dugu, this year, the lower court has included a total of four hundred and seventy-eight outer disciples, all of whom are excellent.

"Among them, the root bone qualification ranks first, and it is Shen Beihai, the son of the majestic Hou. Its giant bloodline, innate divine power, and comprehension do not seem to be bad, and the hundred-step chain fist is learned all over again. Now every move can be played in the air, and it is already a nine-grade entry......"

Dugu Xue was expressionless, glanced at Shen Lang, and said lightly:

"The majestic Hou Shizi, such a good seedling as a lone branch, should be left to the master. Tell me about the others. ”

Chen Yifei didn't regret the defeat of "Shen Beihai" - just as Duguxue said, if a good seedling like Shen Beihai has excellent understanding, the head of the family will be tempted to accept it as a personal inheritance.

At the moment, he continued:

"The second in the root bone qualification is a disciple named Zheng Boyuan, the fifth batch of beginners, who is only eleven years old this year."

Dugu Xue asked:

"Where is he from? What does the family do? ”

Chen Yifei said:

"He is from Wuyang Mansion, his family is a coal mine, and his family is well-off."

Dugu Xue said quietly:

"Go ahead and talk about the other disciples."

Chen Yifei said:

"Lin Yao of Heyang Mansion, thirteen years old, Xue Bing of Tongze Mansion, fourteen years old, these two female disciples, are tied for third in terms of qualifications. Lin Yao's family is a silk village, Xue Bing was born in a martial arts family in Tongze Mansion, and because his physique does not match the family tradition, he has never practiced martial arts. The root bone can be ranked fifth ......"

"Needless to say."

Dugu Xue interrupted Chen Yifei's words:

"Zheng Boyuan, Lin Yao, Xue Bing, these three disciples, you can help them clean up later and send them to my residence in the Upper Courtyard Transmission Hall."

Chen Yifei and the male deacon bowed their hands to Duguyuan.

After that, Dugu Xue glanced at Shen Lang as if inadvertently, sighed inaudibly, and turned to leave.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word to the three personal disciples she had chosen, and she didn't even look at them more.

After Dugu Xue left.

Chen Yifei took a step forward, looked at the disciples below, met the expectant eyes of the disciples, a smile appeared on his face, and he announced:

"Zheng Boyuan, Lin Yao, Xue Bing! Congratulations, Elder Dugu Xue has chosen you as your personal heir, go back to pack up your salutes, and then I will personally send you to the Upper Courtyard to learn from Elder Dugu Xue! ”

"Hooray!"

As soon as Chen Yifei's words fell, a delicate-looking little boy jumped three feet high with his fists clenched, his little face flushed, and his eyes were full of ecstasy.

This little boy is Zheng Boyuan, who is only ranked second among the disciples of this class under "Shen Beihai", and should actually be ranked first.

Another handsome girl five feet tall, slender and slender, with red lips and white teeth, her fair face suddenly turned red, she raised her hand to cover her mouth tightly, her eyes were full of disbelief ecstasy, and even faintly tears flickered.

And the girls next to her quickly cleaned up their losses and congratulated her with a smile.

This girl is Xue Bing, whose qualifications are tied for third place with Lin Yao.

Lin Yao, who was beside Shen Lang, heard that he was really selected, so he first waved his fist in ecstasy and shouted:

"Great!"

was about to hug and celebrate with Yan Yuwei and Liang Fengfeng, who were happy for her, when she suddenly remembered something, looked at Shen Lang nervously, and said:

"Senior Brother Shen, I'm sorry ......"

Shen Langqi said:

"Why are you saying sorry to me?"

A touch of sadness flashed in Lin Yao's eyes:

"Obviously, your root bone is the best...... Isn't it, am I squeezing out your spot? ”

Shen Lang laughed, relying on his absolute crushing height advantage, he pressed Lin Yao's head with his big hand and rubbed it gently:

"What does it have to do with you? I have said that I am an outsider, and I am not fit to be compared with you. Elder Dugu didn't choose me, not because I didn't have enough qualifications, but because she knew that she couldn't teach me, and she wanted to leave me to a more powerful elder or even the head and the great elder! ”

Lin Yao was skeptical: "Really? ”

"Really!" Shen Lang nodded seriously: "I don't believe you will ask Deacon Chen later, she must know why Elder Dugu Xue didn't choose me." ”

Lin Yao raised her hand and patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief:

"That's good."

It was only at this time that she was relieved to hug Yan Yuwei and Liang Fengfeng and cheer to celebrate.

At this time, the children on the practice ground had stark contrasting emotions.

There are those who bow their heads in frustration and don't say a word. There are those with two bubbles of tears in their eyes, indignant. There are also those who wipe the corners of their eyes and sobbed quietly.

Of course, there were also those who gathered around to congratulate the three selected winners and celebrate with them.

There are also outspoken jealous.

"What's the big deal? I'm sure I'll be the head disciple in the future! ”

"Hmph, I want to worship Great Elder Duguwei as a teacher! In the future, Zheng Boyuan, they will have to call me uncle! ”

"I will definitely be able to worship Elder He Xianfei as a teacher! Defeat Zheng Boyuan and them when the time comes! ”

Among these outer disciples on the field, the eldest was just fourteen years old, and the youngest was only in his early tens.

The children of this world are not bombarded with so much information, even if they are from superior families, unless they are from noble families and wealthy families, the people and information they can contact are extremely limited, so most of the children have no scheming.

Whether it's sadness, disappointment, or jealousy, it will all be clearly expressed.

Of course, there are also a very small number of precocious and precocious people, who hide their wit, and hate the selected three people because of jealousy, but at this time, they can only hide their jealousy in their hearts, and they dare not attack in front of so many people, especially the two deacons.

Some of the more scheming ones will even pretend to be happy and gather around to congratulate and celebrate.

It's just that such children are very few after all, and they can't affect the atmosphere on the field.

It's Shen Lang.

When Lin Yao was busy dealing with the same batch of juniors and sisters who came to congratulate her, Shen Lang looked happy for her on the surface, but his heart was full of doubts and even vigilance.

The conversation between Duguxue and Chen Yifei was not deliberately transmitted into the secret.

Of course, they were not loud, and none of the other children heard them.

But Shen Lang could hear it clearly.

Just because "Shen Beihai" is too good in qualifications, I am worried that I can't teach it, so I leave it to the head?

If this is the case, then Dugu Xue's eyes that fell on him twice before and after are too strange.

For the first time, when I heard Chen Yifei talk about "Shen Beihai" with the best qualifications, Duguxue glanced at Shen Lang with seemingly plain eyes.

Shen Lang was shocked at that time, and felt that Dugu Xue's eyes were a little strange, and he seemed to have some regrets, but there was something hidden in them...... Greedy?

The second time, Dugu Xue, who had already taken the initiative to refuse to include "Shen Beihai", said that he wanted to leave it to the head of the house, and when he was about to leave after deciding on the three disciples, he glanced at Shen Lang casually.

That glance made Shen Lang's spiritual sense jump again.

This time, Shen Lang's feelings were clearer.

I felt that Dugu Xue's gaze towards him contained a variety of emotions composed of regret, jealousy, greed, etc., which was not murderous intent, but it was definitely not a subtle malice with good intentions.

This made Shen Lang feel very strange:

"Regret" can barely be explained, I feel that I am not capable enough to teach such an excellent disciple - but you still have a great elder father who has achieved three grades!

And then what is the situation of "jealousy"?

No matter how good Shen Beihai's roots are, he is just a stupid big man who has just entered the ninth grade, and he is also worthy of your jealousy of a third-grade master?

Are you so small-minded?

And what about "greed"?

Are you still hungry for me?

In short, Dugu Xue's eyes before and after made Shen Lang feel very wrong.

contacted Duguxue again and specially asked Zheng Boyuan, Lin Yao, and Xue Bing about their origins and family backgrounds, but she never spoke to the three "personal disciples", and she didn't even look at them......

Shen Lang, a traverser, a cold-blooded man, a hot-handed detective, and a suspected terminal cancer patient, quickly guessed all kinds of possibilities based on his rich experience and professionalism.

Combined with the Star Death Gate, there are suspects who colluded with the Demon Buddha Black Lotus......

Shen Lang ruled out all kinds of possibilities that were too rambling, and gradually had a bold conjecture:

Dugu Xue wants to be unfavorable to Zheng Boyuan, Lin Yao, and Xue Bing, the three disciples with the best talents!

Zheng Boyuan's family only opened a mine, and Lin Yao's family only opened a silk village, no matter how rich he was, could he afford to provoke Duguxue?

Xue Bing's family is a martial arts family again, a small family that can't even get the superior exercises suitable for Xue Bing's physique, can it still afford to provoke Dugu Xue who has his back to the Star Death Gate and even a cavalry general?

Only "Shen Beihai", because he is the majestic Hou Shizi, although Duguxue may not be afraid, he doesn't want to cause this trouble in vain, so he let Shen Beihai go!

As for what form Dugu Xue will take, it will be unfavorable to Zheng Boyuan, Lin Yao, and Xue Bing......

Shen Lang doesn't have a clue yet.

But you might as well venture to assume that this matter is likely to be related to the Demon God!

"How deep can you hide it? In front of me, the nemesis of evil demons and the light of the righteous path, look at me twice, and there is a possibility that flaws will be exposed! ”

Shen Lang looked at Lin Yao, who was squeezing out of the crowd with difficulty, and then looked at the tall Xue Bing, and Zheng Boyuan, who was carried out by a few friends, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually had a plan in his heart.

"Next, focus on Dugu Xue! And these three little guys, you can't let them harm Dugu Xue......"

Shen Lang waved his hand lightly, and a curse mark fell on the skin on the back of Lin Yao's neck.

Then he waved his hand again, and then hit Zheng Boyuan and Xue Bing on the back of the necks with two more curse seals.

It is the "Water Mirror Shadow Technique" spell mark.
