"There are three things that need to be assessed, and only after completing these three things can you leave the house and join the WTO." Lu Bin said lightly.

"Thank you, Master." Joan also bowed her head and asked, "What are the three things?" ”

He replied: "First of all, in the afternoon, the disciples of the service office will send you a list, and you can go to the shops in the city to buy it according to the instructions on the list." ”

Qiong didn't know what kind of test this was, her expression was puzzled, and Lu Bin said: "Send the things you bought to your wife, and then call her a master in person." ”

"Master." Joan also frowned: "Why? ”

Lu Bin didn't explain, "If you want to become a teacher, you can do it." ”

Joan had no choice but to say, "Yes." ”

He continued: "The second thing, after seven days, I will select three opponents for you from under the door, and compete in the martial arts field for three days, not the rule of two wins in three games, if you have a defeat, then the assessment will be stopped." ”

"Yes."

"Third, you have to go through the plank path on the white stone cliff to the last level." Lu Bin looked at her: "That's it." Can you have any objections? ”

"If I have any objections, will Master change the content of the assessment?" Joan also asked knowingly.

"No, it won't."

I knew it. Qiong also laughed angrily in her heart, and secretly thought that the second and third assessments were what she expected, and now whether it is an outer or inner disciple, she should have no opponent who can't be singled out. The plank road on the white stone cliff is very famous, it is the pinnacle of the machine, there are a total of 7749 layers of realm, and one layer is more difficult than the other. In the past, Joan was also punished above, and she didn't even go to the ninth floor, but now, she has plenty of time to try many times, and it shouldn't be difficult to pass.

What makes Qiong most embarrassed is not the last two requirements, but the first thing, to go to Yang Suyong and call her teacher in person.

Since she worshiped under Lu Bin's door, she followed the surname Lu, and never called the housewife "Shi Niang", but just called her "Madam", it seems that there is a gap between "Mrs. " and "Shi Niang", a layer of estrangement that is not recognized by Qiong.

Qiong also didn't feel that she had anything to talk about with Yang Suyong, and since she ordered the sick Chen Bo to be sealed in the house and hastily cremated, she couldn't convince herself that there was such a teacher.

*

In the afternoon, a disciple from the service office really sent Qiong Yi a letter and money. Qiong also glanced at it casually, and it was written on the paper that the things Lu Bin told her to buy were just ordinary flower tea, pastries and fruits, etc., so she collected the money and went to the city to buy them.

The city of Taiyang is still as lively and peaceful as ever, with an endless flow of people, and Joan also likes to watch the streets of people coming and going, listening to the sound of selling and buying, she plays with her warm braids, and thinks: The monks of the five clans go to the border pass so that such a scene can last day by day.

It's good that the world is settled.

The neighbors are familiar with her and unfamiliar, and when they see Qiong Yi, they are still a little afraid to recognize it, Zhao Niangzi, who is braided with hairpins and ropes in the attic, has given birth to a big fat boy, and Jiang Po, who sells knots, is still tough, in their greetings from Xiao Wu Niang and Qiong Yi's smiling call, she also bought the things requested in the letter, returned to the house, and entered the Yinyu Garden.

Qiong also asked the disciple on duty, "Is Madame here?" ”

"Senior Sister Huixiyan, Mrs. is enjoying the flowers in the garden pavilion."

"Well, thank you." After thanking him, Qiong also went straight to the flower pavilion in the center of the garden, it was late winter at this time, only the red plum was blooming in the garden, Yang Suyong was sitting in the heart of the pavilion with a stove, it was obvious that he was waiting for someone.

Qiong also came to the side of the pavilion, looked at Yang Suyong, she took out the pastries from the shoulder basket in the same way, did not open the oil paper, put it directly on the table, even the tea bags were placed neatly, and after bowing slightly, she called her: "Master." ”

After that, count it as the first thing to complete, turn around and leave.

Yang Suyong didn't want her to be so perfunctory: "Xiyan, sit down for a while." ”

"Madame is kind, I don't dare to shirk it, Zeng Nai has something to do, and I don't have the opportunity to enjoy the flowers with you."

Yang Suyong snorted, isn't this just that he doesn't dare to shirk? I almost shook my face. beckoned the maid under the pavilion to make tea with hot water, called Qiong Yi back, and said, "Sit." ”

Qiong was also pressed by her shoulders, only then did she realize that Yang Suyong, who was a lady, was not weak in secret, and she had some martial arts, she didn't want to make the scene too ugly, so she sat down on the side and said with a smile: "Then thank you, Mrs." ”

Yang Suyong opened the oil paper wrapped in the pastry and tasted a piece lightly: "Wang Ji's fruit cake is still so delicious." He handed a piece to Qiong Yi: "Come, Xiyan, try it." ”

Joan also took it: "Thank you, ma'am." ”

"It's called Shi Niang."

Joan also held the fruit cake and was silent for a long time.

"You hate me? Why do you hate me? Yang Suyong leaned over the beauty and held up her chin: "Is it because I admitted you to the sect and gave you the opportunity to study and write, cultivate the Tao and learn the sword?" Because I adopted you, didn't I keep the Zhu Yunluo at the outer gate? Or is it because of the last time I read your private message? ”

Qiong also took a bite of the fruit cake, looked at her and smiled: "It turns out that you don't remember him anymore......"

Yang Suyong was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Chen Xun, is it called this name." ”

Joan's body trembled.

"You hate me for not saving him?"

Qiong Yi swallowed the fruit cake stiffly, closed her eyes, and turned her head: "Why do you still talk to me about so many years ago today?" Mrs. Yang, isn't it enough for me to call you 'Madam'? ”

Yang Suyong shook his head dumbly: "So all along, you have the right to kill him?" ”

Joan didn't look at her, just remained silent.

She said lightly: "I found out that it was too early for the plague to come to an end, if I didn't make a move, you and Zhu Yunluo would probably have already contracted the disease and died." ”

"You mean I'm ......" Qiong Yi's pupils shrank, and then her mind surged, she was just a child at that time, how could she know if it was a cold or a plague, she suddenly remembered the outbreak of the epidemic in the west, and the time was just right.

Under the impact of memories, Joan also couldn't sit still, she couldn't let go of so many years of mistaken hatred and misunderstanding, and she couldn't say a word.

She tried to justify her resentment: but even if the plague killed Uncle Chen, Yang Suyong, who ordered him to be locked in the house, could not escape the blame.

Can she be blamed, how much can it be?

Qiong didn't want to stay here any longer, and Yang Suyong obviously didn't finish what she wanted to say to her: "Lu Xiyan, do you know why I insisted on asking the sect master to accept you as an apprentice at that time. ”

“…… The disciple does not know. ”

How could she know that at that time, she was just a person who was at the mercy of the appointees, guessing that they had taken a fancy to her cultivation roots, so they forcefully pressed her to kneel in the ancestral hall to worship her.

Yang Suyong's eyebrows were sad: "You are very similar to an old friend I once knew, if it weren't for the clues, I would really see you as her child." ”

Qiong was also stunned and shook her head: "Impossible, my father and mother have passed away, there are too many people in the world who look similar, there will always be accidents that look similar." ”

Yang Suyong said secretly: If it is a coincidence, not only in temperament, but also in looking so similar from head to toe, it can be regarded as a strange story in the world.

She will not forget the appearance of the old man.

Yang Suyong took out a wooden hairpin from his arms: "My old friend, his name is Ye Shao." The leaves of the leaves, swaying and shaking. It's been more than twenty or thirty years since I last saw her, and I guessed that she was no longer alive, otherwise she wouldn't have been heard from again. ”

"In the past few years, you often asked people to ask for relatives, but I didn't mention this to you because you were young and obsessed with cultivation. Now, you are about to leave your sect, so I can tell you this. She handed the wooden hairpin into Qiong Yi's hand, "Although I don't dare to make a conclusion, you and Ah Shao's figures and appearances are really the same." ”

Qiong also took the wooden hairpin, the pattern is old, and it can be vaguely seen that it is carved with spring flowers, and asks: "Madam, you and this... Miss Ye, how did you meet? Do you know where her family lives, and is her luck unusual? ”

Yang Suyong looked into the distance, in the past, he escaped from the sedan chair with a phoenix crown, and bumped into the ordinary girl Ye Shao who traveled around.

"She fled from Jiangnan. The cloth family is in a poor situation, so it is good to say that the family planned for her early on, but in fact, she was sold, and she was unwilling to marry the man she had never met, so she left home. After a pause, Yang Suyong continued: "She is indeed lucky, walking the rivers and lakes without martial arts, never meeting robbers and thieves, frequently getting acquainted with righteous people, and picking up rare things. ”

Qiong also lowered her breath and closed her eyes, the woman in Yang Suyong's mouth looked very similar to herself, not to mention, her luck was very good, and it was in line with the lucky "spirit", coupled with her experience of traveling around, it seemed that later things could be roughly guessed: she traveled around, went to the West Desert, met a Kunzhai man, the two had feelings for each other, gave birth to themselves, and after changes, both husband and wife died, and they became orphans, after several twists and turns, they were finally rescued by Chen Xun and raised.

The string song sword was actually refined by a strange mine given by his mother to a friend, but in the end it became his own sword.

This world is vast, but there is such a fate.

Slowly opening her eyes, Qiong Yi said: "Thank you, Madame, for telling me, can I take this hairpin?" ”

"Take it." Yang Suyong stroked the tea bowl that had cooled down, "That's all I want to say today." ”

"Keep hating me."

Qiong also stood up, the kindness of the Lu family is not insignificant to her, the past grievances are indistinguishable, and the death of relatives that only exists in her heart is difficult to let go, after all, it is beyond the reach of kindness and upbringing. She bowed with her hands flat and saluted: "Master." Thanks to the education in the past ten years, this life is unforgettable, Lu Xiyan, a disciple of the Lu family, thank you here. ”

Yang Suyong nodded slightly, and to this day, I finally heard a sincere teacher in the mouth of this apprentice.

*

Seven days later, it was Qiong Yi's second assessment, martial arts.

Lu Bin chose three opponents for her, namely Lu Xu, Lu Yuhao, and a highly qualified elder under his sect, who is famous.

Choosing his senior brother and second senior brother, Qiong was not surprised, but she was surprised that the master would promote the candidate to the elder level, and Elder Wenyi's cultivation was extremely high, and he was also one of the best in the entire inner gate.

Many disciples heard about Qiong Yi's teacher assessment, and on the day of the competition, there were countless spectators who came to the martial arts field.

In the first game, she faced Lu Xu.

Lu Xu couldn't tell his feelings for Qiong Yi, whether it was an obsession that he couldn't let go of when he was young, or a regret that he couldn't love, when he received this competition, and raised his long sword at one end of the martial arts field, looking at Qiong Yi from afar, the emotions in his heart were too complicated, and he had mixed tastes.

He asked her: "After you leave the world and enter the world, are you going to marry Sheng Xuan?" ”

Joan also replied: "It should be." ”

"Why do you hate me so much, and are so ruthless to me?"

Qiong Yi sighed, and refused his overtures over and over again, but he just couldn't understand people's words, and he never came forward to explain to her when he provoked the rumors of his affection at the outer door, and no longer talked about this topic, only said: "This is the martial arts." Lu Xu, draw your sword. ”

When she was in the western frontier, she lost her mind, and because of Lu Xu's friendly attitude towards her, she had a completely different view from usual. She knew that if Lu Xu had treated her like this since she entered the master's sect, and had never been sarcastic or bullied with cold words, then she would really regard him as a good senior brother, respect him and love him.

But there are no ifs and no regrets.

After the referee strikes the gong order, the martial arts fight begins, and after half a cup of tea, the martial arts ends.

"Lu Xu, do you remember the first time I took the sword, you laughed at my sword for being unstable?"

Qiong Yi floated in front of him lightly and said lightly: "You may not remember, because the wooden sword that Senior Brother found for me was broken by you the day before, and on that day, I had to use the iron sword." ”

"Pick up that saber, that's all I could do at that time."

"It's not my full strength to fight you today."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, Lu Xu turned his head and walked off the martial platform.

"The author has something to say: Ye Shao ran away from marriage and left his hometown, and Yang Suyong was also reluctant to marry at that time, and ran away from marriage halfway before meeting her, so both of them appreciate each other's unruly souls......

Yang Suyong and Lu Bin are very typical of love after marriage, Lu Bin didn't want to marry at first, with the attitude of who loves to marry who marries, he was happy when he heard that the bride ran away, but Yang Suyong was arrested later, and he also secretly poked and mocked people: I can't run, I can still be caught, tsk.

Yang Suyong also looked down on him, yin and yang were weird, scolding each other, but the surface work still had to be done.

Then there are some couples who look like each other get along, and they find that the two of them are not only suitable for their personalities but also for doing things, so they are emotional.

Well.

As for Ye Shao and Qiong Yi's father, who has no news yet, I can only say that it is quite vigorous."
