After a while, Xiao Beichen returned to the ancient pavilion on the cliff.

Liu Chunying was still practicing wielding a knife alone, and the pavilion next to him was empty.

At this time, Xiao Beichen walked quickly to her side and asked with some doubts.

"Chunying, you're still practicing. What about his brother and his sister? ”

"He took his sister back to rest." Liu Chunying replied.

Xiao Beichen bowed his head slightly and said to her gently.

"Chunying, why don't you rest for a while, don't overwork."

"Hmm... Okay. ”

After that, Liu Chunying put the knife into the sheath and walked to the pavilion with Xiao Beichen and sat down.

Liu Chunying looked at Xiao Beichen and asked with a worried expression.

"Beichen, what did you talk to the young master of Liaoyuan Palace just now, you didn't fight, did you?"

"Haha, no, you're too worried." The corners of Xiao Beichen's mouth raised, and he said softly: "He just wants to apologize for what happened last time, and by the way, he just wants me to make a friend." ”

"Oh, that's it, that's good." Liu Chunying nodded, and then asked again, "Did you agree in the end?" ”

"Well, the other person is pretty good, and we have agreed to learn from each other on a good day." Xiao Beichen still smiled lightly.

"I'm really looking forward to your fight against him, it's going to be exciting." Liu Chunying raised her eyebrows and smiled, and added with a playful face: "Don't lose when you arrive~"

Xiao Beichen patted his chest, looked at Liu Chunying confidently and said.

"Haha, don't worry! I'm not the kind of person who would throw in the towel! ”

"Hmmm! This is the Beichen I know. ”

Liu Chunying nodded with a smile in her eyes, Xiao Beichen's confident and high-spirited temperament is what attracts her the most.

Suddenly, Liu Chunying seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked.

"By the way, the young pavilion master, what news has you had lately?"

"Uh, I'm sorry Chunying. After practicing with you yesterday, I went to ask Xiaoxian. Xiao Beichen looked regretful and said in a low voice: "He said that the people sent out have made no progress and have not found any clues. ”

"That's it...."

Liu Chunying frowned slightly, and the expression on her face was very frustrated.

Seeing this, Xiao Beichen had to sigh softly.

"Alas, it would be nice if Uncle Xiang was here, he should be able to know something, and I don't know where his old man has wandered."

"Then I have to hope for the tournament first, and see if there are any other martial arts people who know the sword technique created by my parents." Liu Chunying replied with some loss.

"Well, it seems that this is the only way to go." Xiao Beichen smiled helplessly.

Then, after resting for a while, the two slowly got up and started sparring again.

But in the next moment, Qu Xiaolu suddenly came out and shouted loudly.

"Woo-ah! Brother Beichen, Sister Ying! I can't find my brother! ”

"Xiaolu, isn't this what you want, let the senior brother ignore you." Xiao Beichen said with doubts in mind.

Qu Xiaolu touched his stomach and puffed up his mouth and said.

"But I'm so hungry now, I don't have money to eat."

"You... It must have been a long night's sleep. Liu Chunying asked softly.

"Hee-hee! Sister Ying, how do you know~" Qu Xiaolu laughed playfully.

"Well, it's you." Yoo Chun-young smiled awkwardly.

Qu Xiaolu took Xiao Beichen's hand and said happily.

"Hey, hey! Brother Beichen, let's go have a full meal! ”

"I still want to go to Chunying to practice, why don't you sit here for a while."

"Don't!" Qu Xiaolu suddenly lay on the ground and kept rolling, "I'm so hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!" ”

"Hey, Xiaolu, you're really..."

Xiao Beichen's face was slightly embarrassed, and he stretched out his hand to pull up Qu Xiaolu.

The next moment, Li Shangyun took a step ahead of Xiao Beichen and picked Qu Xiaolu up.

"I said why didn't I see you in the room, why did you come here to annoy people!"

"Senior brother, I'm hungry..."

Before Qu Xiaolu's words fell, Li Shangyun immediately stuffed a bun into his mouth and said sharply.

"Stop saying I'm starving you, do you hear?!"

"Uh-huh!!"

Qu Xiaolu gulped down the buns and nodded without caring about anything.

At this time, Xiao Beichen noticed that there was a person standing behind Li Shangyun, it was the girl in blue,

The corners of Liu Chunying's lips lifted slightly, and she whispered to Li Shangyun.

"Brother Yun, haven't you introduced her to us yet?"

"Oh, yes." Li Shangyun nodded immediately and said to the two: "Her name is Zhao Xuening, she is my friend, and I lived in her house for a while when I was a child. ”

"It turns out that you are childhood sweethearts." Yoo Chun-young smiled lightly.

After Zhao Xuening listened, her cheeks became extremely red, and she hurriedly spoke.

"Who! Who's a childhood sweetheart with him! He's been working in my house before! ”

"Uh... That's right. Li Shangyun smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Beichen looked at Zhao Xuening, remembered the situation when she was fighting, and praised softly.

"Miss Zhao, your martial arts are very powerful."

"Oh... Thanks a lot. Zhao Xuening bowed slightly, and also recalled the scene of the day, "Well, that..."

"What?"

"It was Ziyi who did it first, I'll apologize to you for her." Zhao Xuening lowered her face slightly.

Xiao Beichen looked at Liu Chunying, and smiled lightly at Zhao Xuening.

"It's okay, Brother Yun saved our lives. You are his friend, and of course you are our friend. ”

"Really?" Zhao Xuening looked a little curious.

Li Shangyun's expression was a little shy, and he smiled lightly.

"It's just a coincidence, hehe, I happened to be passing by at that time."

Qu Xiaolu tilted his little head sideways and said with doubts.

"Huh? Senior brother, haven't you been chasing Brother Beichen for a long time, and you're ready to recruit him. ”

"Hurry up and eat your buns!" Li Shangyun took another bun and blocked Qu Xiaolu's mouth.

"Recruitment?" Xiao Beichen looked at Li Shangyun blankly.

A moment later, outside the ancient pavilion.

Li Shangyun and Xiao Beichen talked in detail and poured out all their thoughts.

The corners of Xiao Beichen's mouth lifted lightly and said softly.

"It turns out that since you received my token that night, you wanted to invite me to join your sect."

"I wasn't sure at the time, but then I found out that you were a Heavenly Spirit Root and had a good character, so I made this decision." Li Shangyun replied seriously.

Xiao Beichen slowly lowered his face, holding the blood jade pendant hanging from his waist in his hand, and the expression in his eyes was a little sad.

"I... It's not a kind person. ”

"Brother Chen, that's really not your fault." Li Shangyun put his hand lightly on the blood jade pendant and said to him gently: "The source of all this is because of demon cultivation. As long as there is one day when they are there, there will inevitably be the next Gu Xin. ”

Suddenly, Xiao Beichen's pupils widened slightly, his throat was choked, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick.

The next moment, Xiao Beichen just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Shangyun's words.

"Don't reply to me so quickly, I have time for you to think about it lately."

“..........”

There was a hint of sorrow between Xiao Beichen's eyebrows, and he and Li Shangyun slowly walked back to the ancient pavilion.

On the branch on the side, Dou Fei looked at the backs of the two and whispered.

"It turns out that the purpose of the little black robe getting close to him is for this."

In the pavilion, Zhao Xuening was raising his palm, and the cold qi in his palm gathered, and it condensed into an ice-like flower.

"Wow! It's amazing! Qu Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and he jumped excitedly, "Sister Zhao, show me!" ”

"You take it."

Zhao Xuening touched Qu Xiaolu's head and handed the ice flower to him.

Qu Xiaolu immediately took the ice flower and played by himself.

"What a great ice technique." Liu Chunying smiled and praised.

"Hehe, it's just a family tradition." Zhao Xuening smiled at Liu Chunying, her eyes were attracted by her earrings, "Hey, your earrings are so beautiful, where did you buy them?" ”

Liu Chunying's eyes were lowered, her cheeks were slightly red, she stroked the earrings and said softly.

"Beichen bought it for me...."

"Hey, I can't see it, that kid has a heart." Zhao Xuening smiled lightly.

"Brother Yun, didn't I buy you a gift?" Yoo Chun-young looked at her suspiciously.

Zhao Xuening immediately changed her face and replied with disgust.

"Oops, let him go, it's an iron rooster from childhood to adulthood."

"Miss, how can you say that about me."

Li Shangyun appeared beside the two of them, and his expression looked a little innocent.

"Humph! I'm just telling the truth. Zhao Xuening pursed her lips disdainfully.

"I will definitely buy it next time I have the chance."

"I don't believe it~"

Looking at Li Shangyun and Zhao Xuening's bickering, Liu Chunying couldn't help but hide her face and smile.

But the next moment, Liu Chunying noticed Xiao Beichen standing behind and found that his expression was a little heavy.

"Beichen, what's wrong?" She walked briskly over.

Xiao Beichen looked at Liu Chunying's worried eyes, and didn't want her to worry anymore, so he forced a smile on his face.

"No, it's fine. Chunying, let's continue the practice. ”

"yes, yes." Liu Chunying nodded slightly.

After that, the two began sword sparring again, while the other two watched intently from under the pavilion.
