As night falls, the lights come on.

The Zhongfu family on Cangbao Street is like ten thousand homes, and the lights are lit, like stars in the sky.

Waiting for a day, the Shen family still did not appear.

Mie-in study.

Zhong Xiaozhong said: "Master, according to the distance, it should arrive today at the latest, but there is no abnormality in the four city gates, and there is no horse team entering, will there be an accident on the road?" ”

Zhong Yan was also a little surprised, and said after a moment of silence: "More than a dozen monks are traveling together, it is not so easy to have an accident, it is estimated that they are already in the city at this moment, and they entered in disguise." ”

Zhong Xiaozhong thought for a moment and said, "Then master, the number of applicants is full, when will it be selected?" ”

"It doesn't matter, tomorrow's banquet, the day after tomorrow's screening."

Zhong Yan said, his divine sense swept towards the storage bag, and Lin Zhengping summoned him - don't worry, you can marry freely, and you can refuse if you don't like it.

"......" Zhong Yan blinked, suspicious.

Literally?

Straight to the point?

Or does it mean something else?

Thinking about it for a moment, Zhong Yan smiled, and pretended to be stupid to listen to it as a superficial meaning, there is nothing wrong with it, it is a good thing.

Suddenly, he looked up at the door, and there was a head on the edge of the door, but it was Gongsun Nuannuan, who was extremely cute.

"The little one quits." Zhong Xiaozhong bowed and retreated.

Gongsun Nuan Nuan trotted in, smiling and chanting: "Nuan Nuan has seen her predecessors!" ”

Zhong Yan looked at her and asked with a smile, "Was it beaten?" ”

"Not really!"

Gongsun Nuannuan did not have the slightest sense of restraint, and was very familiar with himself: "Senior, do you know my identity?" ”

Zhong Yan said with a smile: "What do you say? ”

Gongsun Nuan Nuan smiled and bowed again: "Nuan Nuan greets Uncle Zhong!" ”

Zhong Yan got up and stepped forward to pull her up, "Your cultivation is higher than mine, I can't afford it." ”

Gongsun Nuan Nuan Hu was incredulous, blinked and asked, "Really?" You didn't hide your cultivation? ”

"Didn't your senior sister tell you?"

"No, they all treat me like a child and don't tell me! Uncle Zhong, do you know where my master went? ”

"I went on a long trip, and I didn't tell you that?"

Gongsun Nuannuan nodded and shook his head, and said, "I know, but I didn't say where I went!" ”

Zhong Yan thought for a while and said, "I've been to Qingyang once, and then I've gone to sea to go to Qi country, maybe I'll appear in front of you at some point." ”

"Oh, I think so."

Gongsun Nuan nodded his head and said with a playful smile: "I don't miss Shizun so much now, she has to force me to cultivate when she comes back, I have to take advantage of this time to have fun!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will send a message to tell you about your master?"

Gongsun Nuannuan's little face tightened, and he stepped forward to pull Zhong Yan's arm.

"Uncle Zhong! Don't tell your master, Nuan Nuan finally came out once, and when you go back, you must practice hard, okay? ”

"Okay." Zhong Yan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her pink little face, and touched her head again.

"Uncle Shi, you are so good!" Squinting and smiling, Gongsun Nuannuan rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Shi, you have a lot of spirit stones!" ”

Zhong Yan asked rhetorically: "What about you, how many yuan do you receive every year?" ”

The little girl frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "It's only thirty yuan a month, so little, it's not enough!" ”

Zhong Yan laughed: "Be content, you, I also stayed in the Huoyun Sect, and it was only twelve yuan a year!" ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Nuannuan scratched his face, "Uncle Shi is a liar!" The disciples on the peak have at least five yuan a month! ”

Zhong Yan blinked, walked out with her shoulders very familiarly, and said to the maid at the door: "Go and ask Mrs. Ping to prepare some special dishes and send them to the pear orchard." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Gongsun Nuan Nuan raised his face and asked, "Uncle Shi, what is a special dish?" ”

Zhong Yan smiled: "If you can't eat outside, you'll find out later, what about your fifth senior sister?" ”

Gongsun Nuannuan said proudly: "The fifth senior sister locked me in the room, I can't be trapped at all, and I don't know where she went......"

The two of them went out of the attic and went all the way to the pavilion in the courtyard.

After sitting down, Zhong Yan took out a bag of spirit stones and put them on the stone table and spread them out.

Gongsun Nuannuan stretched out his hand to grab it, but he blocked it, and said with a smile: "Nuan Nuan, what do you think of me?" ”

"Of course Uncle Shi is good! Good-looking, but not fierce. ”

"Okay, I'll ask you a question, and you answer, a question and a spirit stone, how about it?"

Gongsun Nuannuan's face was vigilant, he looked left and right, and whispered: "What does Uncle Shi want to know, the secret of Qifeng Nuan Nuan can't say." ”

Zhong Yan shook his head and smiled: "I'm not interested in the secrets of the Seven Peaks, but I haven't returned to the Fire Cloud Sect for many years, so I can learn about it casually." ”

Gongsun Nuannuan looked at the spirit stone on the table, "Oh, okay, then Uncle Shi, you ask!" ”

Even the inner disciples receive very few resources every month, and most of them have to rely on their own tasks in exchange.

Although the treatment of the disciples of the other Eight Peaks was much better, the temptation of the hundreds of spirit stones in front of them was great enough.

"What spiritual root do you have, what realm do you have?"

Gongsun Nuannuan blinked, looking at Zhong Yan without speaking.

"It's not a secret, is it? Can't say either? Or do you not trust me? ”

Gongsun Nuannuan looked serious: "The master and the senior sisters have instructed you to be careful when you go out to practice, and you can't casually disclose your information to others." ”

Zhong Yan nodded and said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with your master. ”

Gongsun Nuannuan became interested, "How good is it?" Shizun usually doesn't go down the mountain, and he rarely has contact with other people in the sect, and Nuan Nuan has never heard of Uncle Zhong. ”

Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, pinched the seal and leaned out of the pavilion, condensing an illusory big hand in mid-air, and receiving it as soon as it came out.

"Void Great Monument Hand!"

Gongsun Nuannuan jumped up from the stone bench, glared and shouted, looked at Zhong Yan and exclaimed: "Uncle Shi, you can be a big stele!" ”

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "What? Will you? ”

Gongsun Nuannuan's little head shook into a rattle, "This is the secret technique of the Seven Peaks, you can't learn it casually, only the senior sister and the third senior sister have learned it!" ”

Zhong Yan was a little surprised, and thought that his disciples should have learned, "Why?" Do you also need to redeem points for practicing spells? ”

"Generally not, only a few secret techniques unique to the seven peaks need to be exchanged for points, but this big stele hand can't have points, Shizun said to wait until the right time to teach, when is it appropriate, Shizun and Senior Sister have the final say......"

Zhong Yan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "So, you know my relationship with your master!" Do you want to learn? I can teach you. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, I never lie."

Gongsun Nuannuan pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said, "I am Feng Linggen, I started practicing at the age of six, and now I am refining qi at the ninth level. ”

"Wind Spirit Root?"

Zhong Yan was stunned, a single-attribute heavenly spirit root, and it was also a strange spirit root!

Gongsun Nuannuan nodded, and when Zhong Yan was stunned, he snatched two spirit stones with his little hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, you just asked two questions!" ”

Zhong Yan secretly took a breath, and then said, "No, your Heavenly Spirit Root has been cultivating for seven years before refining the ninth layer of qi?" ”

"Yes!"

Gongsun Nuannuan said distressedly: "The master wants me to practice hard, and he doesn't let me break through casually, otherwise Nuan Nuan would have already laid the foundation!" ”

Zhong Yan was clear, this was a deliberate suppression of the realm, so that each layer of it could be cultivated to the extreme, and he would be able to go further in the future.

"How many Heavenly Spirit Root disciples does the Fire Cloud Sect have?"

"I don't know, I heard from Senior Sister that Sanfeng has an Earth Spirit Root."

“……”

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ping led the maid to deliver special dishes.

Such as sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish with sauerkraut, hand-patted cucumber...... Naturally, it was taught by Zhong Yan.

Gongsun Nuannuan ate happily, his big eyes narrowed into thin slits.

Zhong Yan consumed more than a hundred spirit stones, but the harvest was huge, and he learned a lot of information about the Seven Peaks and the Fire Cloud Sect from Gongsun Nuannuan.

For example, Qifeng currently has seven personal disciples, the youngest Gongsun Nuan Nuan ranks ninth, of which the fourth and eighth have fallen;

Pei Nanjin, who came with him, is thirty-six years old, with dual spiritual roots of water and wood, and the peak of the fourth layer of the foundation;

And Gongsun Nuannuan grew up in Qifeng since he was a child, and was raised back by Li Lin, this is the first time to go down the mountain, and I heard Pei Nanjin say that he came to Qingyang to visit him, and then went to the periphery of Mangdang Mountain to practice.

Wait a minute.

In the end, Gongsun Nuannuan, who was full of food and drink, got nearly two hundred spirit stones, and ran away with a bang.
