Ling Jingyao landed in front of Fang Yan and looked at him quietly, without saying a word.

"Shall you leave now?" Fang Yan asked softly.

"There's no hurry." Ling Jingyao also replied softly, "It's still early. ”

Fang Yan glanced at her in confusion, and secretly said Since it's still early, why are you in such a hurry to get here? Afraid I'll forget?

How did he know how worried Ling Jingyao was at this time. During the years when the master was away, she faced the difficulties of those people alone, endured their mockery and white eyes. Especially after the decline of Qingzhu Pavilion, this situation has intensified, which has made her have a slight shadow in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that this was related to the interests of Qingzhu Pavilion, she really didn't want to participate in such a gathering again. That's why she begged the tongues to go with her.

If she were to go alone, she wouldn't know that she didn't have the courage to face those forces. No one knew how happy Fang Yan was when he agreed to go with her.

Although he said that he would only accompany her and would not get involved in their disputes, it was enough.

Silence, long silence.

Neither of them spoke, they stood and sat quietly, quietly looking at the mountains and forests in their eyes.

Every day gradually brightened, and the sound of the disciples under the mountain could be faintly heard.

Ling Jingyao suddenly took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "Brother Fang, let's go." ”

Fang Yan looked at her quietly, and did not act on her words.

"What are you worried about?" His voice was very calm.

Ling Jingyao didn't speak, or she didn't know where to start.

"Are you scared?" The calm voice sounded again.

"Perhaps." Ling Jingyao did not choose to remain silent this time.

"Afraid of what?" Dialects are in hot pursuit.

"I don't know."

Fang Yan slowly stood up, standing side by side with her, and then said in a very firm voice: "A month ago, I said that I would not get involved in your strife, do you remember? ”

"Remember, you just need to accompany me, and I'll take care of everything myself."

The corners of Fang Yan's mouth curved slightly, a little helpless. Although she was wearing a cloak, he could guess that her face must be very bitter at this time.

"Do you remember what we said half a month ago?"

Ling Jingyao tilted her head slightly, obviously not knowing the meaning of his words. They talked a lot half a month ago, and how did she know which sentence he was referring to.

"I remember I said that if any elders from other forces come to trouble Qingzhu Pavilion, I will handle it."

"Brother Fang, this is different."

"In my eyes, there is no difference."

"None of the people you meet today will be lower in strength than you."

"I just want to know, there, am I qualified to speak?"

Ling Jingyao was silent for a moment before nodding.

"That's enough."

"You don't want to try that." Ling Jingyao's tone was a little complicated.

Fang Yan said with a relaxed face: "In order to get the medicinal materials I want for free, it seems that I can only do this. ”

Ling Jingyao looked at him in a daze.

"You know, I'm not a loser." Fang Yan had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, not at all infected by her emotions, "Since I promised to help you recover Qingzhu Pavilion, sooner or later I will have contact with them." In that case, let's lift the curtain today. ”

Ling Jingyao's lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything, and a touching smile bloomed on her stunning face under the cloak.

"It doesn't seem to be early." Tongue out loud reminder.

"Let's go." Ling Jingyao took a deep breath, her body moved slightly, and she rose into the air.

"Boundless Sea...... Linglong Island ......" dialect muttered softly, and then chased after it.

If there was nothing to do today, if there were really other forces who didn't open their eyes and wanted to take something from Qingzhu Pavilion, he wouldn't mind letting them get to know themselves again.

For some reason, he had some faint expectations in his heart, looking forward to not being so calm today.

The two of them were in mid-air, flying through the clouds and mist towards the center of the island without hurrying, and no one spoke. But the mood of the two is completely different.

Ling Jingyao was in a heavy mood, a little worried, a little nervous, and a little uneasy.

And the dialect was in a relaxed mood, some anticipation, some curiosity, and some excitement.

I don't know if it's because of the early morning, or if there are too few people who can fly on this island, within a radius of several miles, within sight, the dialect just didn't see a single figure.

"Where are we going?" Tongues break the silence.

"In the middle of the island."

"Whose territory is that?"

"Common areas, but only after all the forces are in place. Except for this annual gathering, it is only possible to go there after something big has happened. ”

"Big deal?"

"For example, a war between two forces, or one power wants to annex the other."

"What's the point?"

"Announcement, or notice. Inform all the other forces that one of them no longer exists, and perhaps, what kind of concessions one side will have to make. ”

"Has anything like this ever happened?"

"Not in all these years."

Fang Yan nodded thoughtfully, and then seemed to think of something, and asked with great interest, "Will the Star Palace send someone to participate?" ”

"No, Star Palace is not a force on this island, so they won't participate." Ling Jingyao paused, and added, "However, every year, we will send an extra share to the door. ”

Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh, and secretly said that this is the benefit of strength. Even if he didn't participate, these forces would not dare to forget the existence of this behemoth.

"Star Palace will accept it?" He was curious.

"Who would think that there are too many Yuan Stones?" Ling Jingyao's tone was a little bitter.

Fang Yan glanced at her and said, "I'm curious, how do you distribute these yuan stones?" Is it evenly distributed? ”

Ling Jingyao was silent for a moment before she said slowly, "Regarding the management of the public area, the efforts of all forces are almost the same. In the past, it was indeed evenly distributed. ”

"Before?"

"I forgot what year it started." Ling Jingyao sighed softly, "The Spirit Hall suddenly proposed that the strength of the various forces should determine the number of distributions. ”

"No one objected?"

"Those who are at the top will not object." Ling Jing explained, "Because they quickly figured it out, although what they got was not as good as the Spirit Palace, it was still a lot more than the average distribution. And the forces that are ranked behind in strength are useless even if they oppose them. This rule was thus set and is still in use today. ”

"So, over the years, Qingzhu Pavilion has always gotten the least?"

Ling Jingyao didn't speak, it seemed that she acquiesced.

"It's kind of interesting." Fang Yan muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Distributed according to strength, how to define this strength?"

"According to the comprehensive strength of each force." Ling Jingyao replied softly: "There, there is a ranking. ”

"Comprehensive strength?" The corner of Fang Yan's eyes jumped slightly, "What if I don't agree?" ”

"If you don't agree, you can challenge the head of your previous force, and if you can defeat the opponent, you can take their place."

"Oh?" Fang Yan's eyes lit up slightly, "It's really interesting." ”

Just as he was about to ask something more, he suddenly saw a somewhat majestic building standing on the top of a hill below. At the same time, Ling Jingyao also stopped.

"Arrived?" Fang Yan looked down.

"It's here!" Ling Jingyao sighed a little.

"Let's go down then." Before the dialect voice fell, his figure shook slightly, and he was the first to fall.

Ling Jingyao was stunned, a puzzled look flashed in her eyes, and she quickly followed.

Obviously, she also clearly noticed that Fang Yan was not worried at all, not only was she not worried, on the contrary, he was faintly excited.

Why?

Ling Jingyao was very puzzled, he had obviously just advanced to the Soul Return Realm, why he was not afraid of those who were much stronger than him at all.

couldn't see through it, Ling Jingyao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After knowing Fang Yan for so long, she still can't see through him, and she doesn't know how many secrets he hides.

Next to that majestic building, there was a large clearing, and in that clearing, there stood a large stone, which was very conspicuous.

The open space was empty and very calm.

The dialect fell down in front of the big rock, and when he saw the contents clearly, a look of intriguing appeared on his face.

Engraved on this big stone is the name of all the forces on this Linglong Island.

The word Lingdian is firmly ranked first.

He only glanced at it, then moved his gaze to the bottom. Sure enough, I saw the three words Qingzhu Pavilion at the bottom.

He looked carefully at the boulder, and then saw that there were obvious scratches on the boulder. Obviously, this ranking has changed more than once.

Ling Jingyao stood silently behind him, staring at the three big words below that were somewhat dazzling, without saying a word.

"How often does this ranking change?" Fang Yan asked suddenly.

"Every year, the ranking of the forces on this island will be re-evaluated, and then the Yuanshi will be distributed according to the latest name." Ling Jingyao's voice was very soft, so light that she would not even be able to hear it clearly if she was not careful.

"Oh? So, it's going to be re-evaluated today? Fang Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

"It hasn't changed in three years." Ling Jingyao seemed to mean something.

"Let's change it this year." Fang Yan suddenly said something that surprised Ling Jingyao.

"Brother Fang......" Ling Jingyao was about to say something more, but at this moment, she seemed to sense something, and turned her head to look into the distance in mid-air.

At the same time, Fang Yan's gaze also withdrew from the boulder, squinting into the distance, and a somewhat mysterious smile appeared on his face.
