The Tiancheng Sword Sect, one of the ten major sects in the vast Kyushu, only opens the mountain gate every three years to accept disciples, and its wide range of influence is not limited to the Yanyun Great Prefecture.

As a major sect in Yanyun's native domain, the vast majority of the disciples recruited by the Heavenly City Sword Sect were from the Yanyun clan, and more than three-quarters of them were from famous families or major forces.

It was precisely by relying on the intertwined relationship with the local forces that the position of the Heavenly City Sword Sect in Yanyun Prefecture was as stable as a rock, and it stood firm after the test of thousands of years.

The requirements for the Heavenly City Sword Sect to recruit disciples are extremely strict, and the number of places is even more limited, in a big city like Qianchao, there are only sixty or seventy disciples recruited at a time, most of them are divided among the four major families, and some other weaker family forces can also drink some soup.

It's just that there are pros and cons to everything, and the strategy of the Heavenly City Sword Sect certainly has all kinds of benefits, but it is precisely because the disciples have a huge background and complex forces, and it is indispensable to fight openly and secretly.

For example, in this convoy that set off from Qianchao City, more than a dozen teams can be divided according to the family forces, and there are many rivals, such as the Qin clan and the Wu clan, who have always looked at each other.

However, there are two envoys of the Sword Sect in charge, and everyone is safe, although they go all the way, they are distinct, and they will definitely not drink soup and eat meat in front of a bonfire when they camp and rest at night.

Even if it is the same family, there are close and distant differences, and the eleven sons of the Qin family, plus the twelve people of Qin Xiaoyue, have at least three small groups.

And Qin Yun was not in any of these groups, in other words, he was ostracized by all the children.

In the eyes of those descendants, Qin Yun was just a guy who had gone through shit luck, no matter what his strength, power, or status could be compared to them.

If Qin Yun was willing to be their subordinate who could call and drink, such as Qin Suifeng, who was also a side disciple, he would take the initiative to take refuge, maybe he might be accepted into it.

But Qin Yun is not that kind of person at all!

No matter what kind of attitude others have towards him, Qin Yun will never grovel to please sycophants, those children don't like him, and he is happy to be alone and quiet.

"Big bad!"

What Qin Yun didn't expect was that he couldn't calm down if he wanted to be quiet.

Looking at the beautiful girl who appeared in front of him, Qin Yun couldn't help but be stunned: "Fang Ziling, why are you here?"

The girl wrinkled her cute little nose and snorted, "Why can't I be here? I also want to worship under the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and you will have to call me Senior Sister in the future!"

Sister, are you that big?

Qin Yun couldn't help but touch his nose, he didn't want to take the charcoal in his hand just now, but accidentally smeared the black ash on it.

Fang Ziling suddenly chuckled, her beautiful and delicate face was like a flower blooming in a cold night, and the children next to her were all fascinated.

"Wipe your face clean, you come with me, my sister wants to see you!"

"Your sister?" Qin Yun frowned: "Fang Ruobing?"

It is not surprising that these two sisters entered the Heavenly City Sword Sect at the same time, although the strength of the Qianchao Fang clan on the surface is not as good as that of the Qin and Wu families, but they hold the military power and are backed by the royal family, and no one can underestimate it.

What Qin Yun didn't understand was why Fang Ruobing was looking for him, he knew very well that his "fiancée" didn't like him.

He was hesitating, but the other Qin clan disciples around him were all extremely jealous, especially Qin Xiaoyue's eyes erupted with fire, and he couldn't wait to get up and slap Qin Yun to death with one palm.

Noticing the strange gazes from all around, Qin Yun thought about it and stood up and followed Fang Ziling to Fang's camp.

Fang's camp was full of grandeur, with more than a dozen tents guarding the large white tent in the center, and several fierce warriors and pretty maids standing outside.

Fang Ziling took Qin Yun directly into the big tent.

The inside of the big tent is luxuriously furnished, with a carpet woven of fine cashmere on the floor, desks, beds and other furniture, and the sarongs hanging around the palace lamps emit a soft and bright light, and the air is filled with a faint smell of sandalwood, which is very good.

Fang Ruobing was sitting next to the wooden desk and drinking tea, and when he saw Qin Yun coming in, he only glanced at it lightly and didn't get up.

This is the first time the two have met after Mrs. Fang's birthday, Fang Ruobing is wearing a plain white skirt as before, her cold face is indifferent and cold, it seems that nothing can move her.

The other party had such an attitude, even if Qin Yun was open-minded, he was a little unhappy in his heart.

He simply sat directly across from her and asked straight to the point, "What are you looking for me?"

Fang Ruobing put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Qin Yun and said slowly: "Since you asked, then I'll tell you directly, this time I entered the Heavenly City Sword Sect under the arrangement of the old grandmother." ”

"Although I don't like this marriage, I won't disobey my grandmother's wishes, and I also hope that you can study diligently in the Heavenly City Sword Sect and don't insult the reputation of our Fang and Qin families. ”

She took out a mahogany box from under the desk and put it in front of Qin Yun.

The lid of the box was opened, and there was a box of mutton fat white jade inside, shining with a soft and delicate luster under the illumination of the light.

These are not ordinary white jade, but precious spirit jade!

There are also three pieces of the same spirit jade Qin Yun, which are gifts from the Qin clan to every disciple of the Sword Sect.

Such a box of spirit jade is worth enough for ordinary people to live a rich life for a lifetime!

Qin Yun asked in a deep voice, "What does this mean?"

"Worship under the Sword Sect, the gift of serving the master is indispensable" Fang Ruobing said lightly: "You can use this box of spirit jade." ”

"Thanks!"

Qin Yun could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, Huo Ran got up and said, "Miss Fang, although Qin is from a poor background, he also knows what it means to be polite, righteous and honest!"

"If you think that I covet the wealth and glory of the Fang family, then you are wrong, and I don't think I can climb to the top of the family, so I will leave!"

People can be arrogant but not arrogant, Qin Yun looks modest on the outside, and he can be low-key as much as possible.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper.

In the eyes of others, it is undoubtedly a dream to be able to marry the Fang family and be such a stunning beauty.

But Qin Yun really didn't like it.

So even if Fang Ruobing was well-intentioned, he couldn't bear such charity-like words and deeds.

When he turned around and walked to the door of the tent, Qin Yun stopped and said without looking back: "And don't worry, in the Heavenly City Sword Sect, I won't admit that you have anything to do with me, and I don't care what others say!"

With that, he strode out of the tent.

Fang Ruobing raised his head and looked at the curtain door that was still shaking, a hint of confusion flashed in his cold eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

And Fang Ziling, who had not spoken just now, snorted angrily: "This big villain, I really don't know how to be kind, Sister Bing, next time I meet him, I will definitely teach him a good lesson!"

Fang Ruobing shook his head and sighed softly.

The night passed peacefully.

Early the next morning, the convoy continued to set off.

After a ten-day long journey, the convoy from Qianchao finally entered the western foothills of the Manglong Mountain Range.

The open plains fade away, and the rolling hills and towering peaks become the most common scenery on both sides of the road.

The western foothills of the Manglong Mountains are vast, with countless mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, swamps, and canyons, among which there are many famous fierce and dangerous places in the vast continent.

But this is also where the mountain gate of the Heavenly City Sword Sect is located, and the Heavenly City Sword Sect has been established for thousands of years, making the western foot of Manglong a holy place that Yanyun warriors yearn for.

The roads leading to the depths of the mountains are all paved with hard stones, and the bridges are unobstructed when the mountains open the mountains and meet the water, so the speed of the convoy does not slow down in the slightest, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent on building it back then.

And there is not only one convoy walking on the mountain road, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, knights and caravans coming and going, and the bustle is comparable to the avenue leading to the city of a thousand tides.

However, there are checkpoints on the road, and the convoy can only move forward after obtaining permission.

Interestingly, Qin Yun found that on both sides of the road in front of the checkpoint, there were still a group of people kneeling in the dark.

They were all young men and women, some of them in rags, some of them obviously from wealthy families, and most of them were armed and packed, and they seemed to have arrived from far away.

As for why these people were kneeling here, Qin Yun couldn't understand it.

It was the family samurai who accompanied him to clear his doubts.

It turned out that these young men were all in the name of the Sword Sect of Mutian City, who had come thousands of miles away and wanted to worship their subordinates.

However, the Heavenly City Sword Sect has its own set of strict rules for recruiting disciples, and it will not accept those who take the initiative to come to the door and come from unknown sources.

Most of the disciples of the Heavenly City Sword Sect are recommended by major families and forces, and some of them are people from the Sword Sect who go out to practice and travel, and by chance, they will be accepted as disciples after repeated observation and assessment.

But these people don't understand and think that they are very gifted or have perseverance.

As a result, they were stopped by the checkpoint before they saw the mountain gate outside, and some people knelt on the side of the road without giving up, thinking that this would be able to impress the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and even fantasized about getting the favor of the masters and soaring into the sky from then on.

In fact, even if they kneel and die here, those warriors who are responsible for guarding the checkpoint will not have the slightest sympathy and accommodation, and it is unlikely that there will be a master of the Sword Sect passing by to take a look at them.

If you try to bypass the checkpoint and sneak into the place of the Sword Sect Mountain Gate, once you are discovered, you will be expelled with a cane blow, or you will be killed on the spot.

The rules of the sect are strict, and the ruthlessness is not something that these naïve boys and girls can imagine!

Knowing the reason, Qin Yun truly understood the ancestor's love for him, without the ancestor's recommendation, maybe he would have begged to death like these teenagers to get nothing.

In Qin Yun's heart, he became more and more determined in his belief in learning supreme swordsmanship!
