"I can't imagine that this woman is so mediocre in appearance."

The heads and elders in the seats whispered.

"In the early days of Jindan, he was still a casual cultivator, and this talent is not inferior to smoke." Liuying couldn't help but sigh.

The disciples of the White Mist Mountain Villa in the audience saw that the people around them were praising Xue Ning, and there was a slight disdain in their eyes, and they teased them funny.

"So what, my Senior Brother Bai has already broken through the second layer!"

"That's it, no matter how powerful she is, compared to my Senior Brother Bai, it's still far behind!"

Hearing this, the people around him were stunned, looking at Bai Wenxuan's expression in horror.

"The second floor? It's really fake!"

"He's a ruthless man!"

Even Pei Hong couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy when he heard this, and his expression became complicated when he stared at Bai Wenxuan.

The elders of various sects also stiffened their expressions.

This Bai Wenxuan is really a demon, he actually broke through to the second layer of the Heavenly Pavilion!

I'm afraid that the White Mist Mountain Villa will crush the other three immortal sects this year.

Bai Wenxuan still shook his fan lightly, and he didn't care about the complicated eyes around him, as if he had long been used to it.

From the moment he was born, he was a rare genius in the world, and his ears were calloused when he heard these words that praised him.

Xue Ning didn't expect that the one named Bai Wenxuan would be so powerful, but she didn't care about the other party's strength.

The most important thing now is to find the murderer who killed her.

Now it is certain that the murderer is among the people in front of him.

Moreover, it is very likely that the other party will pass the first trial with the help of the power of Dandan.

Next, she must not take it lightly!

Li Yan saw that everyone's eyes fell on Bai Wenxuan and Xue Ning, and his face was a little displeased.

I didn't expect to be stolen from the limelight in the first round.

Don't worry, what if you break through the first floor of the Tongtian Pavilion, only if you pass the preliminary examination of the academy and get the first place in the preliminary examination, you will be the one who has the last laugh!

You two will wait and see!

Li Yan secretly sneered, his expression extremely confident.

I have a fairy beast in my hand, and I'm still afraid of you two garbage?

"That spicy grass girl is average-looking, but her cultivation is good." Qu Feibai stared at Xue Ningdao.

Song Liang on the side glanced at Xue Ning fixedly, as if he had found something, and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Well, that's good." Song Liang nodded and took his eyes back.

After waiting for the silence in the field, Xu Meng spoke: "The first round of the preliminary test, the mental nature test has ended, my little friend who just read the name, please rush to the Red Moon Canyon ten miles away from the imperial capital tomorrow morning to participate in the second round of trial."

*

When Xue Ning and Xiao Chengfeng returned to the inn, it was almost noon, Xue Ning ordered some good wine and food, and asked the little second brother to send it to the room.

Xue Ning looked at the dishes on the table, took a deep breath, and nodded with satisfaction, "The dishes in this imperial capital are really different from Shudi, I have never eaten them!"

Xiao Chengfeng saw that she was greedy, so he didn't say anything, and then sat down and poured himself a glass of water.

"In the first round, I think you had an easy time?" Xiao Chengfeng glanced at Xue Ning with sharp eyes.

Sensing Xiao Chengfeng's suspicions, Xue Ning's expression was calm, and he picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of shredded meat and put it in his mouth, "Actually, it's all thanks to Tongtian Pavilion."

"How?" Xiao Chengfeng asked.

Xue Ning opened her mouth and said nonsense: "Today's first test, there is nothing to do with me and Bai Wenxuan, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because we both passed through the first floor of the Divine Martial Tongtian Pavilion." Xue Ning said.

Xiao Chengfeng was suspicious, he secretly followed Xue Ning that day, and indeed saw her go to Tongtian Pavilion and pass the first floor.

Is she telling the truth?

"What the hell is the first floor?" Xiao Chengfeng asked.

Xue Ning picked up the soup bowl and took a sip before slowly saying, "First

The first floor will pull the person who breaks into the pavilion into the illusion realm, and he will be tormented by the demons in his heart, and if he can't stabilize his mind, he can't get out. So, I passed the first layer, and I have already undergone a mental test, and the sound of the flute is useless to me."

This is actually a half-truth, the illusion is true, and the test of the mind is false.

Xue Ning accepted the bewitchment of desire, not the tempering of the heart.

But in order to deceive Xiao Chengfeng, she can only say this.

"I see."

Xiao Chengfeng felt that what she said seemed to have some truth, after all, Bai Wenxuan was fine, and only the two of them had broken through the first layer among the disciples in the field.

Xue Ning saw that Xiao Chengfeng didn't seem to ask any more questions, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Chengfeng's cold voice sounded again, "Then what about you killing Kui Sheng and Tong Xiao, how do you explain it?"

Xue Ning almost choked, and her expression turned pale for a moment.

Xiao Chengfeng's eyes turned cold and stared at her deadly.

He had wanted to ask about this matter for a long time, but Xue Ning disappeared a few days ago, and he was in Kunwu Mountain, so he couldn't find a chance.

Seeing Xue Ning pass the first round so easily today, the suspicions hidden in my heart became stronger and stronger.

What is this woman hiding from him?

Seeing that Xue Ning didn't speak, Xiao Chengfeng felt a trace of anger in his heart.

"Answer me? Kui Sheng and Tong Xiao, did you kill them?" Xiao Chengfeng's voice was heavier.

Xue Ning secretly gritted her teeth, didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at him, countless lies flashed in her mind, and she didn't know which one to use.

Xiao Chengfeng is so smart, if he makes it up casually, he will definitely find out.

But she can't tell the truth, otherwise, won't her identity be exposed?

"Uncle Shi, do you want to hear the truth?" Xue Ning put down her chopsticks and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Are you still trying to lie to me?" Xiao Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.

Xue Ning immediately smiled, "How dare I, it's just ...... I don't know how to speak, I'm afraid you'll scold me!"

Xiao Chengfeng ordered, "Tell the truth!"

Xue Ning's mind turned, and she finally came up with a solution, she looked at Xiao Chengfeng seriously and said, "Actually, someone helped me."

Xiao Chengfeng looked surprised, "Someone to help you?"

Xue Ning nodded solemnly, "That person is dressed in black and wearing a hat, he is very mysterious, like some kind of worldly master, and the most terrifying thing is that his cultivation is unfathomable."

So far, only by confessing Xiao Hei can Xiao Chengfeng believe her!

"How can I trust you?" Xiao Chengfeng asked rhetorically.

Xue Ning said aggrievedly: "Uncle Shi, what I said is true, he said that I am his old man, so he has helped me many times, in the White Bone Mountain, it was he who attacked Kui Sheng, and I succeeded. I'm a little disciple in the early stage of Jindan, how can I beat a big devil like Kuisheng, and in Changzhou, I was beaten miserably by Tong Xiao and almost died, and that guy came out to help me. I lost my memory and became stupid, and he helped me recover my memory."

Xiao Chengfeng stared at Xue Ning with a suspicious expression, and instead of believing her easily, he said, "Since what you said is true, then if you call him out, I will believe you!"

Xue Ning's face was embarrassed, and her heart was a little empty.

This Xiao Chengfeng, what is he doing so seriously?

"He's secretive, he only appears when I'm in danger, and now that I'm not in danger, he won't appear!" Xue Ning immediately made amends.

Xiao Chengfeng's face sank, he always felt that Xue Ning was lying, he stood up suddenly, and the Nine Spirit Divine Sword in his sleeve flew out at once, stabbing Xue Ning's neck.

Xue Ning let out a cold sweat, and just as he was about to get up and dodge, he heard a piercing sword sound.

"——! Sonor"

Jiu Ling's sword was blocked by an air blade, and a black figure suddenly appeared in front of Xue Ning.

Xiao Chengfeng and Xue Ning's faces changed, and they were extremely surprised.

"Blackie!" Xue Ning was shocked, she didn't expect the other party to suddenly appear.

Shaw

Cheng Feng didn't expect that there was really such a master who could take over his Nine Spirits Divine Sword.

Although he was only testing Xue Ning and did not use all his strength, he was able to catch his sword, and the other party's cultivation was not low.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Chengfeng stared at the masked face, his eyes cold.

The other party also looked at Xiao Chengfeng, his eyes did not evade, nor did he have a murderous aura, as if he was very calm.

"I'm her old friend." Little underworld.

Xiao Chengfeng frowned, "Old man? You approached her just to protect her?"

Xiao Hei smiled, "What, you don't believe it?"

"What if you have other plans?" Xiao Chengfeng clenched the hilt of Jiu Ling's sword.

Little Black said, "Then you can kill me now."

Xiao Chengfeng stared at each other's eyes, always feeling extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Xue Ning saw that the two of them were facing each other, and she was extremely nervous for a while, for fear that Xiao Chengfeng would suspect each other and be ruthless.

Although she didn't know Xiao Hei's true intentions, she just had an intuition that the other party was not a bad person.

At least, Xiao Hei has never hurt her, but is silently helping her.

If he was killed by Xiao Chengfeng because of me, even if I died a thousand times, I wouldn't be able to compensate.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, Xiao Hei won't harm me, if he really wants to harm me, with his cultivation, I would have died a long time ago!" Xue Ning immediately stepped forward to dissuade him and grabbed Xiao Chengfeng's sleeve.

Xiao Chengfeng looked at Xue Ning sideways, and saw that she had been shaking her head at herself, and her eyes stopped.

Xiao Hei stared at Xue Ning, his eyes were calm, and he didn't panic at all, "Don't worry, he won't kill me."

Xue Ning was surprised.

Xiao Hei looked at Xiao Chengfeng and said faintly, "There is no murderous aura in his sword qi, he is just testing me."

Xiao Chengfeng was silent and did not refute him.

Hearing this, Xue Ning's nervous mood relaxed slightly.

In the end, the coldness in Xiao Chengfeng's eyes seemed to have subsided a little.

"If you dare to hurt her in the future, I will definitely be the first to kill you!" Xiao Chengfeng warned.

Seeing that he finally relented, the corners of his mouth under the mask raised slightly, "Don't worry, there won't be such a day!"

He turned his head to look at Xue Ning again, "He looks good to you."

Xue Ning's expression was stunned, she glanced at Xiao Chengfeng slightly, and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Hei, "I'm really sorry today."

"It's okay, then I won't bother you, see you next time!" Xiao Hei immediately disappeared in place.

Xiao Chengfeng was a little surprised, the other party came and went without a trace, this cultivation is definitely at the level of an immortal.

Maybe it's not much different from me.

There was such a powerful character lurking around Xue Ning, no wonder Kui Sheng and Tong Xiao couldn't deal with her.

After the other party's aura completely disappeared, Xue Ning breathed a long sigh of relief.

scared to death, fortunately Xiao Hei didn't tell Xiao Chengfeng the truth, otherwise she would have been exposed!

Xiao Chengfeng glanced at her with slanted eyes, and seemed to be angry in his heart.

"Why do you want to hide his business from me and your master?" Xiao Chengfeng looked at Xue Ning.

Xue Ning hung her head and pretended to be aggrieved and said, "His origin is unknown, his identity is unknown, if you know, you will definitely fight with him, I am afraid of making trouble for myself."

Xiao Chengfeng sneered, "Did I hit him?"

Xue Ning immediately showed a flattering expression, "Uncle Shi, I became a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Don't be angry!"

Xiao Chengfeng turned his head and said nothing, but his suspicion of that little black did not weaken, and he warned at the end: "No matter what, you still have to guard against him, in case he deliberately curries favor with you."

"I know, uncle, I'm not stupid!" Xue Ning grinned. Z.br>

"It's good to know!"

"By the way, Uncle Shi, today I was on the trial ground, and I felt the breath of the ball!" Xue Ning seemed to remember something, and said to Xiao Chengfeng.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengfeng's expression immediately became serious, "Do you know who that breath came from?"

Xue Ning shook her head, "There are too many people, I can't tell the difference, however, she used the power of Dandan, it must be to resist the sound of the flute, Dandan, Dandan, is an immortal beast, and the Yuan Infant Stage Monk will not be its opponent, I guess the other party must have passed the first round by Dandan."

Xiao Chengfeng nodded, "In that case, you must observe the trials in the future."

Xue Ning said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pull her out!"
