When night falls, the moon and stars are scarce.

Dongzhou, Jiaoyang Town.

There is a carved jade mansion here, and the plaque on the lintel reads five big characters "Fighting Sword Sect Branch".

As the right-hand man of the royal family, the Fighting Sword Sect has its own branch in each state, every city, and every town, and its power is huge, taking care of the affairs of the royal family.

At this time, on the Bihu Bridge of the mansion, there was a polite young man standing, seeing that he was holding a fish food box in his left hand, and gently scattering the fish food into the Bihu Lake with his right hand, attracting the fish to swim over one after another, which was very leisurely.

Suddenly, a figure came from behind, the young man noticed the movement around him, his expression was still calm, the figure approached the young man's side, clasped his fists and said respectfully:

"Tell the young master, the reward you ordered to post on the town's taskboard was posted back by them."

"Looks like they know the danger of this."

The young man said lightly, "Since they don't like the soft ones, let's come to the hard ones, you go down first." ”

"No."

——————

In the past month, Shen Ming and Shen Xue have often gone to the forest to hunt, although they have not gone to the depths again and encountered fierce beasts like the overlord python, but the jackals, tigers and leopards are also enough to experience, improve their cultivation, and make money.

After a month of training, Shen Ming's cultivation was improved again, and he was promoted from the fifth order of refining the body to the seventh order, and when the senior brothers and sisters learned about it, they all showed admiring eyes, Shen Ming's cultivation speed, I have to say, it was too amazing!

Shen Ming not only has the talent for cultivation, but also can bear hardships and stand hard work, study hard, who doesn't envy and admire?

It takes at least two years for ordinary people to cultivate from the first order to the seventh order of body refining, but Shen Ming only took two months before and after, which is really incredible!

Obviously, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and the speed of cultivation will slow down, but Shen Ming exceeded ordinary people's expectations, but in the eyes of everyone, this is also temporary, after all, refining the body is still very easy.

When you reach the Qi Refining Realm, you will know how difficult it is to cultivate, and then the gap in strength will be strongly widened.

This is like the ranking of college entrance examination scores, if you score 100 points, others will score 200 points, so what, they will not reach the undergraduate score line.

But if you score 600 points and others score 600 points, then the difference is big, and it is possible that others just step on the line, and you can only be brushed off.

The reality is so cruel!

Before they knew it, there were still three days before the end of the month, and after three days, Shen Ming and the others were about to return to the sect.

At this time, at noon, the wind and sun are beautiful, and the blue sky is like a wash.

Shen Ming and Shen Xue were having lunch at the inn when suddenly a disciple hurriedly ran into the inn, sweating profusely.

"Senior sister is not good." The disciple shouted.

"I'm fine!" Shen Xue responded loudly.

The disciple judged the position from Shen Xue's voice, and in a moment, he ran to Shen Xue, Shen Xue saw that he was out of breath, and immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, asking:

"Don't worry, you say slowly, what's going on?"

After taking a sip of tea, the junior brother said anxiously:

"Senior sister, it's like this, we went to the mansion of the Doujian Sect branch to do chores, and when we saw a small poisonous snake that slipped into the main room, we helped the owner of the mansion kill it."

"Unexpectedly, the lord of the house said that he had cultivated it, and it was worth a lot of money, and he wanted us to compensate, and they also detained our people, and only let me come back...... I'll report back to you. ”

His voice grew quieter, his eyes filled with tears, and he bowed his head reproachfully, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Didn't the lord of the mansion tell you that he cultivated a poisonous snake, tell you to be careful?"

Shen Ming wondered, only to see the disciple shake his head.

"If not, what if something happens, if you are bitten, who will compensate you for your medical expenses, and now it is his snake that has an accident, he is good, he came to ask you to pay, what is the reason?" Shen Ming was indignant.

"Okay, I know, junior brother, don't blame yourself too much, who knew that the owner of the house would raise poisonous snakes, you are also kind, it's okay, take my senior sister to see, you can pay as much as you want." Shen Xue comforted.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" The disciple bowed and thanked him.

"It's okay, take us there now."

"Uh-huh."

Subsequently, Shen Xue and Shen Ming followed their disciples to the mansion of the Fighting Sword Sect Branch, and as soon as they walked in, it was as if they had arrived at a fairyland, which was spacious and magnificent.

There is a rockery on the left, the heavy rocks are stacked, the carved beams are painted, there is a bamboo forest on the right, the emerald green is slender, the deep and faint fragrance, there is a blue lake in the center of the mansion, the waves are rippling, the blue waves are rippling, there is a bridge in the middle, up to 100 meters, ingenious and heavenly, connecting the outside.

This is an ordinary mansion, it's a fairyland!

There were two servants at the door of the mansion, one servant took Shen Ming and Shen Xue up the arched bridge and went to the lobby, where the mansion master was waiting, while the other servant took the junior disciple to the place where the disciple was being held.

A moment later, Shen Ming and the others came to the door of the lobby.

"Tell the young master, the man has been brought."

The servant bowed at the door, and with a "bang" the door opened, and there was a sound of "come in" from inside.

When Shen Ming and the others walked in, they saw a man dressed in white sitting on a chair in the north, his face was as distinct as a carving, sexy lips, a high nose bridge, and his eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit, gentle and deep eyes, which made people feel unfathomable.

"You stand down first." The man said to the servant.

"No." The servant bowed and turned to leave.

"Don't stand still, please take a seat."

The man smiled, and motioned for them to sit on his right-hand side, as there was hot tea.

"You're the lord of the mansion?" Shen Xue asked.

"That's right, what's the matter, isn't this young master like this?"

The man smiled lightly, looking calm, and saw him pick up the teacup on the table and taste the brewed tea.

"I thought it was an old man, but I didn't expect you to have your own mansion at a young age, it's amazing!"

Shen Xue praised, with a look of envy, listening to her tone, it seemed that she was reminiscing, and those who didn't know thought that she had met an old acquaintance, so naturally.

"The little girl is so interesting." The man quipped.

"Ahem." Shen Ming coughed twice, approached Shen Xue's side, and reminded in a low voice, "Senior sister, get down to business!" ”

Shen Xue nodded and asked solemnly, "I heard that my junior disciples accidentally killed the poisonous snakes you cultivated, and then you detained them, where are they now?" ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about this young master first, my little snake is a descendant of the ancient purebred bamboo leaf green, it is rare to find it in a thousand years, and now it is killed by your people, how to calculate this account?" The man's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"They are also kind enough to help you, who knows that it is a poisonous snake you raised, when they come to work, why don't you make it clear to them, if they are bitten by your snake, is it your compensation?"

Shen Xue stood up excitedly and asked confidently.

However, the man was heard replying softly, "Yes." ”

“……”

Shen Xue was speechless for a while, why didn't this guy play his cards according to the routine, and thought he would say: What the hell is my, they were accidentally bitten, they can only say that they deserve it, and they can't complain.
