"I promised him to go to the summit showdown on behalf of the Adra family, and the old guy would arrange for Hawke to follow and spy on me. This trip is estimated to be very dangerous, and your strength is still too weak, so don't get involved. When I leave tomorrow, you find an opportunity to sneak away and find Ivan. ”

Butian only briefly explained the matter, he didn't want to involve Locke in the matter. After all, with his current strength, he is still difficult to protect, and he has no time to take care of Locke, so the only way to do this is to let Locke leave first.

"It's... All right. After listening to Butian's arrangement, Locke only hesitated a little before agreeing.

He also knew that Butian was for his good, and with his humble strength, he really couldn't help much. If you are obsessed with loyalty, you are likely to suffer from it in the end, which is not good for others or yourself.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was white, the mild winter sun mixed with the cold wind covered the whole land, and the frost on the surface of some flowers and plants gradually melted, and it was impossible to distinguish whether there was a trace of warmth in the cold, or the warmth hidden in the cold to the bone.

Bu Tian slowly opened his eyes, and a wisp of purple qi passed from his eyes.

His cultivation didn't last long, and although he was determined to cultivate the energy in his body well, for some reason, whenever he ran the energy in his body for one hundred and eight weeks, he felt a sense of unsustainability. The energy running in the meridians becomes more and more difficult to control later on.

It's like a small fish swimming upstream, striving to swim upstream in the face of the raging waves, trying all its strength, but in the end it is still washed by a wave to the starting point.

Bu Tian didn't know what the reason was, and if he continued to stalemate for a long time, he inevitably felt some irritability in his heart.

Being in a hurry is a taboo in cultivation, and Butian is also very clear in his heart, so he is no longer reluctant at the moment, and slowly converges his energy into the ten acupoints.

The cultivation of energy in the body of a martial artist is a process of opening up the acupuncture points around the body, opening up the meridians in the body, and warming the energy seeds. The three steps complement each other, step by step, and Butian has memorized this key by heart. Although there are quite obstacles in his cultivation at this moment, he also understands the truth that he can't become a fat man by eating in one go, so he has stabilized his state of mind.

"The hosts. Seeing that Butian had woken up from his cultivation, Locke took a few steps forward and said respectfully.

"What's wrong?" asked as he jumped off the bed, moved his hands and feet, looked at Locke.

"Just now, a servant came to report that Count Warren had invited you to the study, and I saw that you were in the middle of cultivation, so I informed the servant and sent him away. After a brief explanation, Locke said no more.

Hearing that Warren was going to invite him to the study for a gathering, Bu Tian smashed his mouth, chuckled, and then said to Locke: "Well, I know." ”

"Master is going to..."Locke looked at Butian, a little speechless.

"It's okay, since a consensus was reached last night, I don't think Warren Lao'er will move me now, if you want to move, you will also wait..." Speaking of this, Bu Tian sneered twice, the cold glint in his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he looked at Locke and said solemnly: "I'll leave for Warren Lao'er now, and take this opportunity to secretly leave the Edra family."

Their attention is on me, and they won't pay attention to you for a while. If anyone stops me, you say that you are going out to buy something as I have told you, and I believe in your ability. Bu Tian patted Locke's shoulder heavily, his eyes full of affirmation.

Locke nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Locke agreed, Bu Tian immediately stopped hesitating, Lan Chen Sword started, and finally took a deep look at Locke, and turned to leave.

The north was cold, rolling up three or two residual leaves, and Butian's back fell in Locke's eyes, as if it had turned into a style, slowly blurred, and became unreal. He didn't know when he would say goodbye, so he could only silently say in his heart to take care.

The courtyard where Butian lives is not far from Count Warren's study, and the outline of the study in the bamboo forest and green sea is vividly visible after passing through several corridors along the way.

When you see this green bamboo forest in winter, there will always be infinite charm in it. On the surface, it looks quiet and elegant, but it is an excellent retreat place, and people are quite in the secluded leisure of "sitting alone in the secluded fence, playing the piano and howling".

But after all, this only exists on the surface, after last night's battle, Butian is already afraid of this place. It is said that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, and he has tasted this danger.

Not to mention the strength of Earl Warren and Hawk's mid-level 4, just the many blood-clad guards hidden in the secret door of the study have increased the danger factor of this place by several levels. Moreover, Butian still didn't know whether the dozen or so blood-clothed guards yesterday occupied all of the hidden forces, if not all, then the danger in this place could be called the Longtan Tiger's Den.

There was a trace of vigilance in his heart, and Butian walked into the bamboo forest path casually on the surface.

The fragrant fragrance of the green bamboo surrounds the nose, and the wind blows, refreshing people's hearts. The traces left by yesterday's battle have already been deliberately cleaned up, and the door of the study that was smashed by Butian's sword has also been replaced with a new one.

There were two burly guards standing straight in front of the door of the study, Xu had been instructed by Count Warren earlier, and when he saw the arrival of Butian, one of the guards neatly pushed the door open and bowed down to invite.

Glancing at the other party, Butian did not stop, and stepped directly into the study.

Entering the room, the sandalwood is fragrant, the layout of the room is still the same, and there is no trace of a major war. Bu Tian was slightly surprised in his heart, and at this moment, the majestic voice of Count Warren came.

"I've done everything I promised you. What to do after that, you are a smart person, I hope you don't make a mistake. Moreover, Hawke will follow you all the way as I tell him. These words reached Butian's ears, and the figure of Count Warren appeared from behind the screen in the study.

Bu Tian raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were intertwined with the sharp eyes swept by Count Warren, and the void seemed to freeze slightly at this moment.

With a chuckle, Bu Tianhao said in a good manner: "It's early in the morning, you asked me to come here, if you just talk this nonsense? But although you can rest assured, even if I promise you, I will not follow the example of some people, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

Butian's face was faintly sarcastic, and his disdain was overflowing, especially the words "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" were extremely heavy.

Such presumptuous words naturally provoked anger on Count Warren's face, but he seemed to have thought of something, and after sneering, he said with a gloomy face: "Sharp-toothed boy, I won't argue with you about anything. But there is one thing that I want to warn you in advance, lest you lose your life and lose the face of my Aydra family. ”

"Oh?" Bu Tian said with a different face, "What is it?"

Count Warren stared at Butian with his eyes, and said with a stern expression: "Although my Edra family is powerful and one of the top wealthy families in Sparta City, it has made a big move, and it has offended many strong enemies in previous years.

For example, some small and medium-sized forces that do not enter the stream can not be taken seriously. However, there are several wealthy families with considerable power, but because of the friction between business and officialdom, the relationship is tense and even hostile to each other. And what I want to remind you is also related to these forces. ”

Earl Warren paused when he said this, and his eyes staring at Butian gradually narrowed a cold light, and he continued to speak: "I have heard the news that there are two forces that are in a hostile relationship with my family, and they also have their own contestants who went to the imperial capital to participate in that peak duel.

These two forces are the Miso family in Ekra City, and the Star and Moon Alliance in Orlan City.

You should pay special attention to them on this trip, you are going to participate in the summit duel on behalf of my Adra family, presumably these two forces have regarded you as a thorn in their side, and want to kill you and damage the face of my Adra family.

The power they have developed in the imperial capital is not small, if they do something bad behind their backs to murder you. Your life is difficult to protect, and my Adra family has lost face, and even becoming a laughing stock in the entire imperial capital aristocratic circle is the biggest loss. ”

Bu Tian rolled his eyes when he heard this, and sneered, but Count Warren didn't care what he thought, and then continued: "I have summoned my eldest son Kevin, he has also developed some power in the imperial capital over the years, and after you arrive in the imperial capital, he will find you and give you some help." ”

"Okay. Bu Tian sneered and replied nonchalantly.

Seeing his unruly appearance, Count Warren frowned, and said coldly: "I know that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me in your heart, but in this matter, you must give me twelve points of vigilance.

If something goes wrong and brings shame to my Aydra family... I'll let you know what pain is. Count Warren's face gradually darkened, and his words revealed a chilling meaning.

"Since you have sent Hawke to follow and spy on me, what else is there to worry about? Could it be that with Hawke's strength, you can't protect me completely?" Regarding Earl Warren's threat, Butian directly chose to ignore it, and instead opened his mouth to question the other party.

"That can't be... There are many strong people in the imperial capital, and there are no less than a dozen people in the strength of Hawke alone, and this is only on the surface. And Hawke's identity is a little sensitive, and I have commanded that if you don't come to the moment of life and death, he will not come to the rescue. Only you can get through the difficulties. ”

As soon as Butian's words came out, Count Warren rejected them without hesitation.

What he said was three parts true and seven points false, and Hawke's identity was indeed very sensitive and not easy to appear in front of people. But if it's only an occasional strike or two, Hawke's untraceable stealth skills won't get in the way.

But Count Warren would never sue Sù Butian for these words, and would not even agree to the other party's request.

Because, Hawke's only shot had to be saved for the time when he finally killed Butian.

And the earlier he strikes, the greater the chance that Hawke will be detected by the powerhouses of the imperial capital. At that time, with his sensitive identity, once he is entangled by someone with a heart, it will undoubtedly affect the follow-up arrangement, which is something that Count Warren cannot tolerate.
