After the sect meeting, Wang Xiao came to the Li family's courtyard and privately asked Xu Qinshuang for advice, wondering why Jia Wenting deliberately harmed him.

Xu Qinshuang seemed to have expected that Wang Xiao was full of doubts and had been waiting for a long time.

After bringing Wang Xiao into the inner room and sitting down, Xu Qinshuang said:

"Xiao'er, do you know that we have a young phoenix in Chu County?"

Wang Xiao respectfully knelt on the next futon: "The disciple has heard a little. I only know that it is a triennial meeting, and the second-generation disciples of various sects in my Chu County are sent to learn from each other. Each person can participate in a maximum of three times, and the senior brother entered the top five in the previous young phoenix song, which is the pride of our Lotus Root Hall. It is also a strong contender for the top three of Xiao Fengming this time. ”

"Yes, but do you know that this young Fengming can also be regarded as a test of the identity of the disciples. Each sect has only three places to participate in the battle. The three people who were selected were equivalent to the second-generation disciples who were most valued by this sect. Jia Wenting...... His qualifications are also excellent, and after four years of entering my Lotus Root Hall, he has the level of the middle of the human rank. In terms of qualification and comprehension alone, it should be above your fourth senior brother and on a par with your third senior brother. And your third senior brother is peaceful and has no quarrel with the world, if nothing else, Jia Wenting will be in the middle of the young phoenix this time, and Zhenwu and Zhenggang will fight on behalf of my Liangen Hall. The most important thing is that according to the rules of my Lotus Root Hall, if you can get good results in the young phoenix song, then you can be recommended and sent to the main sect of the Blue Lotus Sect to practice. ”

Wang Xiao is not stupid, and naturally understands the meaning of being sent to the Qinglian Sect to practice. Although the Lotus Root Hall is a lower-level sect of the Blue Lotus Sect, it does not mean that all disciples have the opportunity to enter the Blue Lotus Sect. And if you get the recommendation of Liangentang, it is equivalent to graduating from high school and going directly to a prestigious university. Hearing this, he looked at the look of expectation in Xu Qinshuang's eyes, and said in surprise: "Could it be that he is afraid that I will rob him of his place...... However, I'm just getting started, and I'm still a ...... of divine punishment."

Xu Qinshuang smiled slightly, her eyes were full of approval: "How can he see your physique?" He just knows that you are diligent and hardworking, and you have to be recommended by me to get started, so he thought that I would show favoritism for you, so he ...... Bad intentions. In fact, how did he know that what you really practiced was to control the demons, even if you got good results in the young phoenix, I might not let you go to the Qinglian Sect...... Alas, this Jia Wenting's qualifications were originally excellent, and in the past few years, they were also hard and diligent. But last year, his family had an accident, and he was affected by the case of Prince Liao, and his family fell into the middle. Since the defeat of the Jia family, this Jia Wenting's heart has been greatly damaged, and his cultivation has not moved forward, how can he not worry. Not only you, but also your third and fourth senior brothers, who have also secretly done a lot of tricks and tricks, and the note that your master threw to him is a record of the vicious things he did to your third senior brother and fourth senior brother. ”

Wang Xiao felt a chill in his heart, just for the sake of a place for a young Fengming, could this Jia Wenting be so harmful? If it weren't for Xu Qinshuang's hard work, if he changed to another sect, not to mention that he couldn't get started, he was afraid that he would have been kicked out of the sect and even slapped to death with a palm. Just for the slightest possibility of threatening yourself, you can lose your life......? The most terrifying thing is that he still acts like a good person on weekdays, so that he is not at all guarded!

Knowing the cause and effect, Wang Xiao couldn't help but regret a little, he shouldn't have pleaded and let this terrible hypocrite escape a way out.

"Xiao'er, people in this world are sinister, although you have a pure heart, you like it very much. However, we must also remember that the heart of guarding against others is indispensable!" Xu Qinshuang advised.

Wang Xiao bowed sincerely: "The disciple knows! Don't worry, I will be careful in the future." However, for the master, the master and the sister, the disciple will not be wary of it no matter what. If you don't trust anyone in this world, it's worse than dying. ”

Xu Qinshuang was stunned for a moment, sighed slightly, but her heart was full of warmth, moved forward, and gently stroked Wang Xiao's head: "Okay, okay, you kid, why do you say it so seriously." ”

In the elegant quiet room, this moment has a bit of a feeling of mother's kindness and filial piety.

In the warm atmosphere, after saying a few homely words, Wang Xiao finally asked his second question.

"Master, this time, the thing I caused this time seems to be not small, that, that between us and the Silent Sect is now said to be like fire and water...... I didn't bother you...... "Wang Xiao asked Ai Ai.

Xu Qinshuang smiled slightly, but there was a little more cunning like a girl in her smile: "Don't worry, Xiao'er, this matter, hmph, has already ended." You don't need to worry that the Silent Sect will come to retaliate against you, and besides, you are an official disciple of my Lotus Root Hall, so Huang Ziwen actually dared to forcibly take away my official disciple of Lotus Root Hall, which is already a big taboo. ”

Seeing the cunning in Xu Qinshuang's eyes, Wang Xiao suddenly understood that he was suddenly accepted as a formal disciple in order to have an advantage in "righteousness". Although Li Youshan said it well, even a registered disciple should be protected, but it is not enough in the cultivation world, and the fact that a registered disciple is bullied is fundamentally different from that of a formal disciple. Only if Wang Xiao is confirmed as an official disciple, then Huang Ziwen's provocation can be regarded as a provocation to the entire Lotus Root Hall, and the meaning is very different. Now even if the Silent Sect wants to investigate it, Liangentang can be said to be Wang Xiao's "internal decision", but it has not been officially announced. If my Lotus Root Hall accepts a registered disciple as an official disciple, I don't need to inform you in advance. As for what Jia Wenting said that Wang Xiao is just a named disciple, that is deception, it is Jia Wenting's business, you don't want to feel cheated, go to Jia Wenting's traitor.

"Shi Niang, I don't go to him for trouble, he Huang Weishan (the head of the Buyu Sect, the father of Huang Ziwen) is already grateful, if it weren't for the sect (Qinglian Sect) to have an edict, Shi Niang would take you to the door to ask for guilt, it's okay. Xiao'er, although Huang Ziwen has insulted you, he is said to ......" Xu Qinshuang pursed her lips and smiled, and her expression at this moment was like that of a young girl: "The root of right and wrong has been eliminated." That Xie Yi was also seriously injured, Xiao'er, you are wronged, don't pursue it. ”

Wang Xiao secretly said that this master is kind and kind to herself, but she is really ruthless enough to the enemy. There are no grandchildren and dead people over there, and I feel that I have been wronged here, as if it is a great pity not to continue to pursue it, and I really deserve to be the wife of a master of the earth. shook his head again and again: "The disciple has no grievances, and he doesn't want to pursue anything at all." I'm just worried that it will affect the master, but, master, although the incident was caused by them, but the senior brother and I are fine, they are dead, and they are still ...... I wouldn't be so ignorant. It's just, we, really nothing?"

Xu Qinshuang smiled and said: "Xiao'er, although he Huang Weishan can't swallow this breath, but in the current situation, they don't dare to do anything." Both the Qinglian Sect and the Shengyan Sect have already come to the edict, ordering my Lotus Root Hall and the Silent Sect to settle the matter, and he will not be able to make trouble if he is a silent Sect. Of course, the heart of defense is indispensable, Xiao'er You are safe in the city, but don't easily go to the outer city in the west of the city to be alone, beware of villains. ”

Wang Xiao nodded again and again.

The structure of this Chu County is the ancient Chinese structure of a four-sided city. It is divided into four urban districts, and three large city gates in the south, east, and west, and the northern city wall is built on the mountain, but there is no city gate. The county guard and government offices of Chu County are all in the north of the city, and the so-called north is facing south. At the same time, the two largest Xiuzhen sects in Chu County, the Dedication Sect and the Yunmeng Sect, are also located in the northern city of Chu County, close to the center of the city. The Lotus Root Hall is in the east of the city, near the north of the city, and the Buyu sect is near the south of the city in the west of the city. Basically, although they are all in the city, the Lotus Root Hall and the sect of the Silent Sect are still dozens of miles apart. The Lotus Root Hall is relatively restrained, and there is basically no obvious sphere of influence, while the Non-Speech Sect is relatively strong, as the sixth-ranked Gate Sect in Chu County, there is basically a large area near the west of the city, all of which belong to the territory of the Silent Sect. If Wang Xiao ran to the west of the city at this time, even if he didn't say anything to Wang Xiao, it was very possible to do something to Wang Xiao behind his back.

Of course, Wang Xiao will not be so brainless to send it to the door at this time, but it is a pity that the mass grave in the south of the city is basically close to the sphere of influence of the Buyu Sect, at least it is also the place where the Buyu Sect often comes and goes, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to that place to "fight monsters and level up" in the future.

However, Wang Xiao still didn't understand, and scratched his head: "Master, isn't it just the end of the Yuzong? Their losses are not small......

Xu Qinshuang said coldly: "Otherwise, what else does he want? I didn't pursue them for bullying you, I was already wronged and laughed at you! This Chu County, it is not his turn to play Huang Weishan's prestige! Not to mention that the Qinglian Sect and the Shengyan Sect have both spoken, demanding that the current Xiuzhen sects in my Great Han are all based on harmony and stability, even if there is no edict, in this Chu County, it is also the "Dedication Gate" and the "Yunmeng Sect" that have the final say. Huang Weishan is bent on making the Silent Sect bigger, how dare he offend the Dedication Sect and the Yunmeng Sect?"

Although the Lotus Root Hall is not very powerful, it is not a grassroots sect, and the Lotus Root Hall belongs to the lower level of the Qinglian Sect among the three major sects of the Han Dynasty, similar to the attached middle school of the current university. The reason why there is not much power and scale in Chu County, and it is only ranked in the twelfth or thirteenth position, although Li Youshan is too low-key, is mainly because the influence of the Qinglian Sect is mainly in the northwest of the Great Han Kingdom, and Chu County belongs to the main influence of the Shesheng Sect among the ten major sects.

Therefore, in Chu County, neither the Buyu Sect, a subsidiary sect of the Holy Words Sect, nor the Lotus Root Hall, a subsidiary sect of the Qinglian Sect, could not really develop.

In addition, Li Youshan is very strict in accepting disciples, and several disciples are all relatively excellent qualifications except for Wang Xiao, and Li Youshan also cares about the character and morality of his disciples very much, so now there are only six formal disciples. However, these six formal disciples, except for Wang Xiao, who has just started, including Jia Wenting, who was expelled from the school, have all reached the level of the middle of the human rank, and Liu Zhenwu is the peak of the middle of the human rank. On the contrary, when the Buyu Sect accepts disciples, it is basically that those who come do not refuse, although there may not be many disciples who have reached the middle of the human rank, but each disciple has his own family background and connections, so in terms of total power and influence, the Lotus Root Hall is much worse than the Buyu Sect. But no matter what, in Chu County, the most powerful thing to speak about is the "Dedication Sect", the same sect of the Shesheng Sect, and the ancient sect of Chu County, which was born in the "Yunmeng Sect" of Yunmengze. Even though the overall ranking of the Buyu Sect is sixth in Chu County, it is far inferior to the Dedication Sect and the Yunmeng Sect in terms of power.

Although Huang Ziwen became a eunuch this time, Zhou Lu died tragically, and Xie Yi was seriously injured, but the cause was Huang Ziwen's forcible seizure of the "official disciples of Liangen Hall", which became a provocation to Liangen Hall in nature.

Xu Qinshuang exhaled and walked to Wang Xiao's side: "Xiao'er, but next time, don't be so reckless." How can you fight with Huang Ziwen's scum with the strength of one person? If Zhenwu hadn't arrived in time, Shi Niang would probably never see you again. Huang Ziwen is in the middle of the human rank, and you have only studied for so many months...... Even if Lao Hei comes quickly, Shi Niang won't have time to save you. ”

Wang Xiao's face flushed, and he lowered his head: "I, I don't know how, I can't help it when I hear that bastard scolding you." ”

Xu Qinshuang was slightly stunned, leaned over and touched Wang Xiao's head: "Shi Niang knows that you are filial, but if you are injured, Shi Niang will also be very sad, don't let Shi Niang worry in the future." ”

Hearing these gentle and kind words, Wang Xiao only felt as if he had returned to the past, and when he was beside his mother, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes and lowered his head.

Thinking of his mother in another world, Wang Xiao was so confused that he found an excuse to say goodbye to Xu Qinshuang and return to his residence.

Wang Xiao currently lives in the outer wing of the Li family's courtyard, and does not live in the sect of the Lotus Root Hall in the city like other disciples of the Lotus Root Hall. At this time, although he was already an official disciple, Wang Xiao was determined to control the demon, and Xu Qinshuang was not ready to let Wang Xiao and other disciples cultivate together, so everything was as usual.

When he opened the door, Wang Xiao only felt a smell of wine coming to his face, and when he looked at it, he saw that Lao Hei was drunken lying on the bed and burping, and couldn't help but be angry: "Lao Hei, you are free!"

The monkey was drunk, and when he saw Wang Xiao, he grinned and said, "Forehead, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao'er, you, when did you practice the doppelganger technique?"

"Doppelganger, what doppelganger?"

"Hey, you use this doppelganger technique, you still use it, it's not authentic, it's just two shadows! ”

Wang laughed angrily, this monkey was obviously drunk, and when he saw the ghost, he came to a doppelganger technique, such a good wine monster is really rare, and sighed: "How can you drink like this, although Xiao Yi sells your wine quite cheaply, but with the amount of alcohol you drink, it will cost at least a few taels of silver to drink like this! Where did you get the money? Aren't you going to be a thief!"

Lao Hei grinned, exhaled a breath of wine, and pointed to the table in the room: "This time I was injured, your master sent ten taels of silver yesterday, saying that it was for you to buy some supplements to recuperate your body." I just want to ...... You're so injured, why do you need to buy any supplements......"

"What?" The old black man didn't speak, Wang Xiao was anxious, and rushed to the table to see that a delicate purse was already empty: "Isn't it, you, you actually drank ten taels of silver?"

Lao Heida shook his head: "I only drank five taels of silver wine, but that Xiao, Xiao Yi invited me to drink many times, why should I ask for it again, otherwise, otherwise I will lose your face!"

Wang Xiao wanted to cry without tears, and clenched his fists: "Boss, you are really generous, ten taels of silver......"

Don't think that ten taels of silver is very little. This tael of silver is consistent money, which is equivalent to more than 2,000 yuan on the earth in the Great Han Kingdom, and ten taels of silver is more than 20,000 yuan. This old black didn't know the price of firewood and rice, so he drank 10,000 alive and treated 10,000 guests...... Wang Xiao remembered that when he made gunpowder on weekdays, it was all used for a lot of money, and his heart was suddenly like a knife.

"You, didn't the ancestor of your Qinglian Sect say that this, this daughter is gone...... Return, come back......"

"Restore your size, where can I get money now! The recent food money is almost insufficient!" Wang Xiao was angry, rushed to Lao Hei with red eyes, and grabbed Lao Hei's neck: "You, you spit out the silver for me!!Spit it out!!My experimental funds, my pocket money! My roast chicken and roast duck!"

The sound of the monkey's scream and Wang Xiao's angry scolding mixed with the sound of a fight made the quiet backyard of the Li family's courtyard suddenly noisy.

Xu Qinshuang sat under a ginkgo tree in the backyard, picked up a cup of tea, listened to the lively fighting, showed a smile leisurely, and then cast her eyes into the distance.

"Hehe, Xiao'er is really Xiao'er, and the partner he chose is really funny. ...... There is knowledge under the spring...... This disciple, are you satisfied......" In a sad smile, Xu Qinshuang sighed slightly: "It's a pity that this partner of Xiao'er seems to be congenitally deficient, and his hundred-year cultivation is still not more than human...... But I don't know where they can go......"

A light breeze swept by, causing a few fallen ginkgo leaves to fall on Xu Qinshuang's shoulders, and in the wind, it seemed as if someone was answering her.
