In the Chiyan Valley, Xie Tianyao completed the day's task, walked out of the earth fire room, came to the waterfall opposite the Chiyan Pavilion, found a flat big stone, and meditated on the ground.

"Senior Brother Xie, you are so diligent, you have just completed the task and are cultivating." Xie Tianyao had just sat down cross-legged, his eyelids had not yet closed, and a figure walked out of the col next to the waterfall, a middle-aged man about forty years old with a beard.

"Senior Brother Zhu, is there something wrong?" When Xie Tianyao saw the bronze face of the person who came, and the body like steel and iron, it was Zhu Hu, one of the disciples of Huoyun Kong.

"Master has something to go down the mountain, I have encountered some problems with the refining weapon, I want to talk to you, in order to thank the junior brother for his attainment in the refining weapon, I will definitely be able to solve a problem for the senior brother and me." When Zhu Hu said these words, he had a modest smile on his face, but there was a hint of yin in his eyes that was extremely imperceptible.

"Senior Brother Zhu, you are too modest. You have been cultivating under Elder Fire for more than twenty years, and you are stronger than me no matter how you say it, how dare I get an axe in front of you, Senior Brother Zhu. Xie Tianyao was not arrogant or arrogant.

"Damn, Lao Tzu has been cultivating under Huoyunkong for more than 20 years, but that hateful old guy in Huoyunkong doesn't treat us as disciples at all, and it is even more difficult to get him to personally order us than to ascend to the sky. On weekdays, he only taught some simple casting and refining techniques, which caused Lao Tzu to waste twenty years of time in vain. The most hateful thing is that this kind of life will continue! ”

When Zhu Hu heard this, there was no need to mention the anger in his heart. Of course, he only dared to curse the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Huoyunkong in his heart, but he didn't have the slightest courage to show it on his face.

"Senior Brother Xie is looking down on Senior Brother and me when he says this kind of thing. Master loves Senior Brother Xie so much, and he must have taught Senior Brother Xie a unique skill without reservation. Alas, senior brother, I am clumsy, and the master has worked hard to cultivate, but senior brother, I have failed to live up to the master's expectations, I have achieved nothing, I have wasted my time, I am ashamed, I am ashamed. ”

Zhu Hu regarded Xie Tianyao as his closest brother, and poured out his heartfelt words.

Xie Tianyao had already heard of this senior brother's approachability, and he was not a person who was good at persuasion, after listening to Zhu Hu's words, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"By the way, did Master tell you where his old man went and when he will come back?"

Zhu Hu also knew that this junior brother had always been silent, so he didn't care about his performance. He suddenly remembered something, and asked with a concerned face, so that others could see that compared to the safety of the master, his request could be completely ignored.

"Elder Fire has always been a divine dragon, so how can I know his whereabouts." Xie Tianyao shook his head and said.

"That ......" Zhu Hu was about to say something, when suddenly a sound of footsteps got closer and closer, making him swallow what he was about to say back into his stomach.

"Senior Brother Jing."

"Senior Brother Jing."

As soon as Xie Tianyao and Zhu Hu saw the visitor, they both stopped talking and greeted the visitor.

The person who came was called Jing Minggao, who looked one or two years younger than Zhu Hu, and entered the Chiyan Valley in the same year as Zhu Hu, and became a disciple of Huoyunkong, and now he is a cultivator at the peak of the foundation building period.

Both of them have excellent talents, and they have the perseverance to seek the Tao, as long as they have a coincidence, they can break through and become an admirable master of the Jindan period.

Jing Minggao's appearance originally gave people the impression of being fierce and vicious, plus a shocking sword scar on one blind eye, and a cold and ruthless gaze in the other eye, which couldn't help but make people daunting.

Jing Minggao didn't seem to hear the greetings of the two, and didn't seem to see the two, so he walked straight past the two.

The two of them seemed to be accustomed to Jing Minggao's unsightly behavior, so there was no displeasure on their faces, at most they just muttered in their hearts that he was strange.

Xie Tianyao knew that judging people by their appearance was the most stupid, not to mention that Zhu Hu, a leading figure in cultivation and knowledge among the core disciples, naturally would not despise anyone.

"Senior Brother Xie, Senior Brother, I still have something to do, and I will talk to you again when I have time." Zhu Hu saw Jing Minggao's figure disappear into the col next to the waterfall, so he withdrew his gaze and fell on Xie Tianyao's body, patted Xie Tianyao's shoulder, and also walked towards the building complex at the col.

Xie Tianyao looked at Zhu Hu's departing back, with a strange expression on his face.

Zhu Hu's performance is not perfect, but he chose the wrong object.

Xie Tianyao is not a fledgling who has just debuted, he was born in the deceitful Xiuxian family, he has learned to observe faces and colors since he was a child, as long as he is not those old foxes who have been through a hundred battles, he can easily guess the other party's true thoughts from the other party's usual habits, tone and words, breathing rate, facial expressions, and even seemingly unrelated accessories on his body.

Zhu Hu is approachable, but as long as Huo Yunkong is in Chiyan Valley, he will never take the initiative to approach Xie Tianyao, even if the two happen to walk together, he and Xie Tianyao also keep a distance not far away, and as soon as Huo Yunkong has something to go down the mountain, he will appear in front of Xie Tianyao very coincidentally, and he is quite enthusiastic.

Although Xie Tianyao couldn't guess Zhu Hu's true intentions now, the intuition generated by the vigilance he had cultivated for a long time was telling him that Zhu Hu must have other plans when he approached him.

"What does he want from me?" Xie Tianyao thought to himself in his heart, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

On this day, Xie Tianyao walked out of the Chiyan Valley and sent the Yunzhu Boat to the Wangxian Palace. Because of refining weapons under the guidance of Huoyunkong, he hadn't stepped out of the Red Flame Valley for half a year.

Xie Tianyao landed in the square of Wangxian Palace, and as soon as he put away the cloud bamboo boat, there were senior brothers and sisters who came to exchange things to openly or secretly criticize him, like a disturbed beehive.

"Hmph, I thought he was so great, it turned out that he was only worthy of being a registered disciple." The people who dared to mock Xie Tianyao so blatantly were naturally those veteran core disciples.

"He is Senior Brother Xie from the same class as us, and he can become a core disciple at the cultivation realm of the eighth layer, which is really amazing." Most of the people who were envious were those new disciples who knew that their true strength would never be able to surpass Xie Tianyao.

"I must be like him, become an admired core disciple and win glory for my family." There are also people who secretly cheer for themselves in their hearts.

……

Xie Tianyao has lived in a cold and mocking gaze since he was a child, and he has already reached a level of immunity to those sarcasm and sarcasm that can be completely ignored, and as for those envy and praise, he also accepts them with peace of mind, because all of them are recognized by him through his unremitting efforts. Secretly complacent in my heart is indispensable, but I will not get carried away and be empty-eyed.
