The plain-clothed woman poured herself a cup of tea, blew away the heat, carefully took a sip, savoring the rich fragrance contained in the bitterness, until the cup bottomed out, and then spoke again: "Today, you have the leisure to come here to make tea with me, have you made a decision in your heart?"

"You want to know?" the middle-aged man raised his glass slightly, looking at her beautiful face with a smile.

If ordinary people were stared at like this, they would have been so frightened that they would not possess their bodies, and they knelt down and shouted that they should die, but the plain-clothed woman had a faint expression, and her cheeks loomed in the hazy heat, like a hidden master who didn't ask about the world.

"If you say, I'll listen, and if you don't, I won't ask, but I guess you'll say. The plain-clothed woman continued to pour water and boil tea indifferently, and her temperament was ethereal.

The middle-aged man suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said, "You, you!" If someone else asks this, I will definitely suspect their intentions, but if you ask, I have to satisfy your curiosity. ”

"I'm not curious, you don't have to say. The plain woman said lightly.

"Okay, then I won't talk about it. The middle-aged man then said, then shut up and sipped the cup of tea on the ground.

A slender jade hand suddenly snatched the cup in his hand, and the plain-clothed woman said lightly: "Tea, you have already drunk it, today is the end of it, I am tired, I will not send it far." ”

"Look at your angry look, didn't you tell me not to say it? How can you turn your face and deny people?" The middle-aged man was not happy when he boarded, I finally came to sit with you once, why did I give an order to expel the guest before I said a few words?

"I'm not angry, the door is behind you, it's up to you whether you go or not, I'll rest. The plain-clothed woman looked indifferent, her sleeves were slightly brushed, and the tea tray that had not yet been re-boiled disappeared in an instant, and she stood up.

"Wait!" the middle-aged man saw that it was really true, and hurriedly stopped her.

"What else?" asked the plain-clothed woman, who turned her back to him.

"When you mention it, I'm like a fish in my throat, I'll say it. The middle-aged man said, the dignified king of a country, was expelled by a woman and lost face.

The red lips curled slightly, but they calmed down in an instant, and the plain-clothed woman said lightly: "I'm tired and don't want to listen." ”

The middle-aged man secretly gritted his teeth, saying that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me.

"I want to say no?" he said with a grimace through gritted teeth.

"It just so happens that the tea is boiling, which can refresh and nourish your energy, so you can stay for a while. The plain-clothed woman finally turned around and sat back in her place, with a flick of her sleeves, the tea tray was placed on the stone table again, and the tea was just boiling, not bad at all.

"You have such a temper...... the middle-aged man sighed helplessly, seeing that the plain-clothed woman's eyes were slightly cold, and there were signs of eviction, he hurriedly shut up again.

The plain-clothed woman didn't care about him, she fiddled with the tea soup by herself, poured a cup for herself and the middle-aged man, and drank the tea silently without saying a word, and there was a quiet and comfortable atmosphere lingering in the simple and elegant courtyard, only the two of them, and the indescribable artistic conception was beautiful.

The two seemed to have forgotten the previous topic, poured and drank, the tea in the pot was changed a little, boiled a few times, and the middle-aged man's expression gradually deepened, and he didn't see the casualness of the fight.

"I won't hide it from you, in fact, I had this idea as early as a year ago, but first, the time is not ripe enough, and second, it is ......" The middle-aged man said here and stopped, and then there was a long silence.

The plain-clothed woman was like a mirror, and helped him say it: "Second, the performance of the Seven Princes of the Land of Trials has surprised you and made you see more hope. ”

"Not bad. The middle-aged man nodded slowly, and said: "Lao Qi's talent is far beyond my expectations, I have to re-examine my most special son, they all say that the tiger father has no dogs, Lao Qi has the capital that is better than the blue, I am willing to give him more time to grow, and wait for another ten years, a hundred years, I can afford to wait, after all, I have waited for more than ten years, are you afraid of waiting longer?"

The plain-clothed woman sighed: "It's a pity, God's will makes people!"

"Yes, Providence makes people!" The middle-aged man's face suddenly became hideous, and he said angrily: "What about Providence to make people? The seventh is gone, but I am still there! What I have to do, even if the sky falls, what does it matter!"

"Your Majesty, you are in love. The plain woman looked at him lightly, but there was the same color in the depths of her eyes.

The middle-aged man calmed down again, looked at her and said, "Liunian, having a confidant like you in this life is the happiest thing in my life." ”

"What about her?" the plain-clothed woman's expression finally stopped being indifferent, and she looked at him inexplicably and asked.

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and said: "She, is the regret of my life, but no matter what, in my lifetime, I have to make up for this shortcoming, and no one can stop it!"

"I won't stop you, if this is the result of your deliberation, not a spur of the moment, but, have you ever thought that in addition to the Seven Princes, maybe you have other hopes. The plain-clothed woman said.

"You mean Xun'er?" The middle-aged man looked at her, shook his head and said: "Although Xun'er is extremely talented, he is different from Lao Qi, and he is a little less sharp than Lao Qi after all, which may make his path smoother, but he will also miss a lot of opportunities to temper, and one day it will come to an end, I will not put hope on a person who can see the end." ”

The plain-clothed woman was silent, her heart was more delicate than exquisite, and in some places she might see more thoroughly than the middle-aged man, obviously, his words were right.

In terms of talent, the eldest prince may not be weaker than the seventh prince, but he lacks a stage to show, such as the place of trials that opens once in ten years, the eldest prince missed, his cultivation in the last ten years was not qualified enough to participate, this decade he has already broken through to the Lingyuan realm, and he also missed the qualification to participate, but who can say that his talent is not good?

In terms of heart, the eldest prince is more brilliant, exquisite, inclusive, and has a model of the Ming monarch in the way of life, which is also one of the reasons why the prince is the prince, the voice and prestige of the eldest prince, and the rest of the princes are far from it at this point, which also includes the seven princes who are talented in martial arts.

But perhaps it is precisely because he has a good heart that the Seven Princes have an overwhelming advantage in terms of growth potential, the future of the Great Prince is promising, and the future of the Seven Princes is unpredictable, so the middle-aged man is willing to put his hopes on the Seven Princes, but he is unwilling to bet on the Great Prince, which is the most important reason.

As for the life experience, it is secondary.

"And when are you going to start?" asked the plain woman again.

The middle-aged man smiled: "It's almost over, it's almost time to prepare, at most half a year, the sword can be unsheathed." ”

"That's really exciting. The plain-clothed woman pursed her lips and smiled, the world was bright, and the middle-aged man was distracted for a while......

......

"Ling Tiansheng! You can be promoted to a personal disciple!"

On the stage of the competition field, a young man about twenty years old and personable forced the opponent off the platform in a chic manner, and when the referee's announcement resounded in the competition field, he proudly arched his hand and said: "Accept!"

"Hmph!" The disciple snorted coldly and left, very unconvinced in his heart, his strength was not weaker than Ling Tian, and the reason why he was defeated was also because of the other party's strange tricks, which was not a crime of war.

"According to the rules of the sect, a newly promoted disciple can choose an elder from a sect as his teacher, Ling Tian, have you thought about it?" the referee asked, although he knew that this son had already been booked, but since it was a regulation, the process still had to be followed.

Sure enough, Ling Tian said without even thinking about it: "I want to enter the Pure Heart Dao Sect!"

So the referee looked at an elder in the highest stand and asked, "What do you think of the five elders?"

"Then the old man is disrespectful, Ling Tian, this kid, the old man accepted it. In the stands, the Qingxin Taoist also agreed, which can be said to be a matter of course.

"Disciple to meet Master!" Ling Tian bowed to the Pure Heart Daoist, and after the salute was completed, he finally officially became the personal disciple of the Pure Heart Daoist.

"You go down!" The referee waved his hand at him, and said: "In the next game, Ling Xue will fight against Ling Fei, and those who do not come to the stage within ten breaths will be deemed to have automatically abstained!"

Then, I saw two beautiful shadows jumping on the battlefield, skin like snow, one cold as snow, and one delicate and lovely, so the appearance of two top beauties also involved the dispute between the disciples and the disciples, which instantly detonated the audience, and the audience cheered.

Ling Tian blended into the crowd and casually responded to the compliments around him, and came to a man with a wooden demeanor, who was dressed in the clothes of a core disciple, but was obviously older, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ah Qi, how is my performance, senior brother?"

"It's amazing!" Ah Qi gave him a thumbs up excitedly, and suddenly Ling Tian's eyebrows opened up and he smiled, and his tail was almost up to the sky.

"Of course, it's not me who blows, even Ling Xuan's kid, ten is not my opponent!"

Ah Qi was speechless for a while, but he had to say with a look of adoration on his face: "Senior brother is so powerful!"

"Hahaha!" Ling Tian became even more proud, and said with a smile: "It's your turn in the next game, although your kid is more than a star and a half worse than Senior Brother and me, but it's barely strong, don't embarrass Senior Brother and me." ”

"Yes, yes, senior brother is the most powerful!" Ah Qi complimented on the surface, but he didn't know how to complain in his heart.

"Eh! In other words, if your kid is lucky and really becomes a disciple, then you can also worship the disciples of the Pure Heart Daoist, and the senior brother will take care of you in the future. Ling Tian suddenly said, Ah Qi, this kid has only been in Tianyun Sect for less than half a year, and he is a little older, but his cultivation is not bad, and he was soon promoted to a core disciple, coupled with Mu Na's honest character, he really liked this kid after a chance acquaintance, if he worshiped under the same master again, it would be his own junior brother.

"The conditions for accepting apprentices from the Pure Heart Dao are so harsh, and you can be looked down on, senior brother, how can I be, or don't do it. Ah Qi shook his head and said.

Ling Tian opened his mouth, but he still sighed secretly in his heart, the Pure Heart Daoist was indeed the strictest among the elders, if he came forward to plead, Ah Qi, this kid would not be satisfactory, but with the character of this kid, he would not only not be happy, but would be very depressed.

"Then you might as well worship under the Qingyan Daoist Sect, he is even more powerful than my master! Usually he doesn't accept apprentices easily, but ......" Ling Tian said, suddenly switching to Lingyuan to transmit the voice, so that the rest of the people would not hear it.

"Senior brother tells you a secret, just a registered disciple of the Qingyan Daoist, called Ling Xiaolai, his talent and strength are all considered to be at the top level, and he was also going to officially apprentice after becoming a personal disciple today, but half a year ago, that guy took a group of inner disciples to the city of chaos to perform a mission in the Wind Bird, and then he didn't come back, and it is estimated that he died in the sect. ”

At this point, Ling Tian opened his mouth again: "So, if you worship under him, as long as you perform better, you still have a great chance." ”

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the depths of Ah Qi's eyes, and it was fleeting, and Mu Ne was as usual, and even Ling Tian, who was close at hand, didn't notice this subtle change.

"Well, thank you, brother, I'll definitely do a good job!" Ah Qi nodded heavily.

"That's good. Ling Tian said with a smile, although he couldn't worship in the same sect, if he was a Qingyan Daoist, he would also be a cultivator for Ah Qi, no worse than him.

At this time, the battle between the two top beauties on the battle platform also had a result, and in the end, Ling Xue narrowly defeated Ling Fei with one move, promoted to a personal disciple, and apprenticed to a Pure Heart Daoist, who had not recruited disciples for several sessions, for some reason, not only accepted Ling Tian today, but even Ling Xue had also accepted it, which made Elder Qingyan, who wanted to wait for him to refuse and accept Ling Xue as an apprentice, was unhappy for a while, and his eyes were slightly cold when he looked at him.

The Pure Heart Daoist noticed it, smiled slightly, and didn't care, in fact, Ling Xue didn't meet his requirements for accepting apprentices, and the reason why he agreed was because he saw his senior brother's thoughts.

Why?

The elders are not all harmonious......

"In the next game, Ling Kun will fight against Ah Qi, and those who do not come to the stage within ten breaths will be regarded as automatically abstaining!" At this time, the referee's voice sounded, and an imposing core disciple landed on the battle platform with a vigorous body, it was Ling Kun.

The core disciple of the Tianyun Sect, Ling Kun, cultivated to the sevenfold Spirit Yuan Realm!

ps: Does anyone remember the character of Ling Tian? I appeared very early, and if you don't remember, you can turn to the previous chapters. In addition, if you guess who Ah Qi is, you can raise your hand and see how many people have guessed correctly.
