Sikong Longqin kept Lin Xiuqi and opened the gate of the cave, and Sikong Suqing flew in.

Lin Xiuqi and Sikong Longqin both found that Sikong Suqing's mood was a little anxious when he was at the entrance of the cave, but after entering the door, he behaved much calmer.

"Qing'er, why are you here?" asked Sikong Longqin knowingly.

Sikong Suqing was slightly stunned, unconsciously glared at her grandfather, and hurriedly smiled: "Qing'er came to see grandpa...... It turns out that Senior Brother Lin is also here!"

"Hey, hey, yes!

As Lin Xiuqi spoke, he pushed away the palm of Sikong Longqin's hand on his shoulder.

Sikong Suqing said with a slightly twisted expression: "Senior Brother Lin, I have something to say to you!"

Sikong Longqin wasted no time in saying, "Qing'er, didn't you come to see me?"

"Well, I'm done! Grandpa, you should practice hard and pay attention to rest! Senior Brother Lin, let's go!"

Lin Xiuqi looked at Sikong Longqin with a surprised and disdainful gaze, as if to say, "Look at your status, it's enough to be perfunctory!"

Sikong Longqin understood what the other party meant, slapped his palm on Lin Xiuqi's back and said, "Okay! You go and talk, the old man is going to cultivate!"

This slap made Lin Xiuqi fly directly to Sikong Suqing's side and almost collide together.

"Senior Brother Lin, are you okay?"

"It's okay! I'm just anxious to know what you're going to say!"

"Oh!

Looking at Sikong Suqing just looking for Lin Xiuqi, Sikong Longqin couldn't help but sigh: "Girls are extroverted! No! Men are the same! Alas!"

In Lin Xiuqi's cave mansion, the two did not enter the reception room, and sat directly in the pavilion in the garden of the entrance gate.

"President, you ......"

"Senior Brother Lin, do you have someone you like?"

Lin Xiuqi suddenly had a feeling of electric shock, he probably guessed what the other party was going to say, this is bad! Only at this time, you can't gag, otherwise you are violating your own principles.

"Yes!"

"And now?"

"Nope!"

Sikong Suqing didn't hesitate at all when she heard the other party speak, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, but she immediately cheered up, and she must express what she thinks in her heart today.

It's a pity that the words are still a little difficult to speak, Sikong Suqing thought and thought, and after thinking and considering, the two red clouds gradually climbed up her cheeks, and Lin Xiuqi felt a little nervous when she looked at her from the side.

"Senior Brother Lin, do you want to drink?"

"Uh...... It's only 7:30 a.m., so I won't drink it, so next time!"

Sikong Suqing looked at each other with a red face, shy in her heart, and secretly blamed Lin Xiuqi for being a wood.

"Alas!" Lin Xiuqi really couldn't stand it, he sighed lightly and said, "I once liked a girl!"

This sentence caught Sikong Suqing's attention, and even made her forget her original purpose, she was eager to know what had happened.

"I met her in the Five Elements Sect of the Mortal World, but she fell, died tragically in front of my eyes, and even her body was destroyed!"

Looking at Lin Xiuqi's slightly nostalgic gaze, Sikong Suqing's mood was a little low, and she seemed to have a dim sense of the reason why Lin Xiuqi had been avoiding.

"Originally, when I was in the mortal world, whether it was myself or the people around me, I would act if I liked someone, no matter what the outcome was, it was just a good or bad memory, even if I couldn't be a lover, or even a friend, I knew that the other party was still living in a corner of the world! ”

Sikong Suqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Did you kill the Demon Saint Hall and the Assassin Star Palace monks when you took revenge? It is said that they have established an organization in the mortal world!"

Lin Xiuqi nodded, his heart was much more relaxed, no matter what, he said his true feelings.

Sikong Suqing was silent for a moment, her eyes were clear, and she had a feeling of enlightenment, Lin Xiuqi knew that the other party had figured it out, and the next thing could be imagined.

"Senior Brother Lin, I like you!"

Lin Xiuqi's expression froze, and he thought to himself, what does your epiphany expression mean?

"Brother Worm, did you expect that?"

"It's normal!"

"Don't play 'hit and point' with me!"

"Boy, haven't you seen the situation where some couples in the mortal world quarrel and quarrel but suddenly get married?"

“......”

Sikong Suqing said the most difficult sentence, and her mood was much more relaxed, at this time she didn't care about the other party's reply, according to Fang Cai Lin Xiuqi's words, she could even guess the other party's thoughts, she must be thinking about how to refuse.

In that case, let us say everything that is in your heart.

"Senior Brother Lin, do you know why I drank with you after I came back from the Devil May Cry Wetlands?"

"Thank you?"

"Thank you, but also apologize! Since the beginning of collecting phantom spirit seeds, you have been silently contributing, because I failed to find out clearly, so that you were chased by the withered toad, and when you were chased and killed by the Dugu family, I ...... I didn't even try to save you, on the Ghost Cloud Peak, you not only saved us from the siege, but also saved the life of Senior Sister Duanmu, when Qin Tongming sneak attacked, you saved us again, but I was confused for a while, and injured you who were detoxifying...... For me, maybe it's more apologies than thanks!"

"Maybe it's this series of misunderstandings, especially the one ...... drinking"

"Hmph, you came up with a set of excuses before I did, did you have a similar experience before?"

Looking at Sikong Suqing's cute appearance with a little blame and ridicule, Lin Xiuqi concluded that this time he would definitely be able to solve the matter once and for all.

"If it is according to the president's intentions, how do you interpret it?"

"I don't know, I can only say things like 'don't talk nonsense'. ”

"It seems that it is all just a coincidence, so ......"

"No, no! I also suspected that it was all accidental, but everything in the Devil May Cry Wetlands was not as simple as apologies or thanks, but ...... A sense of security, a sense of dependence, something I have never experienced before...... And your strength is getting stronger and stronger, and this feeling is also increasing day by day, so I will ...... today Show your heart. ”

Lin Xiuqi was about to speak, but Sikong Suqing hurriedly said: "You don't have to answer me! Everything is just my thoughts, no matter what you think, I will do it in my own way!"

At this moment, Lin Xiuqi suddenly remembered a poem.

I love you and have nothing to do with you.

This sentence not only represents a piece of heart, but also shows a belief that there is no hesitation, and even is ready to pay without asking for anything in return.

At this moment, Lin Xiuqi's heart inexplicably gave birth to a feeling of being conquered.

He really wanted to promise the other party, and he wanted to accept this feeling, but he couldn't do it on the spur of the moment.

"Yes...... Senior sister, I've only been cultivating for two years......"

Sikong Suqing listened to the first half of the sentence, her heart trembled, she didn't expect the other party to change her name to "senior sister", hearing the second half of the words, her body trembled unconsciously, she was surprised by Lin Xiuqi's qualifications, but she didn't understand why the other party wanted to show off at such a time.

Lin Xiuqi also found that his words were easy to misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "I mean I have been busy, and the same is true after entering Mangyuan Academy, I have never had the opportunity to sort out my mood, and there is no way to think like a normal monk, and I can make a promise knowing that life and death in the future are unpredictable, so I ......"

Lin Xiuqi didn't continue, he originally hoped that Sikong Suqing could wait, but he felt like a scumbag to say this.

At this moment, he didn't notice that his heart had accepted the other party, and he accepted it gladly, but there were still some inexplicable "rules" in his brain that were restricting him, telling him that he was not ready.

Sikong Suqing showed a quirky smile and said, "Why don't we make a bet!"

"What?"

"Among the four major academies of martial arts the day after tomorrow, if my performance is better than yours, you must accept my heart!"

"What if I perform better?"

Sikong Suqing said shyly: "Then you have to think carefully about whether to accept it!"

"Okay! I promise!" Lin Xiuqi almost blurted out.

"Really?

Sikong Suqing felt that she still had hope, and her joy was like thick ink spreading in the water, gradually occupying her entire heart, and she was afraid that the other party would regret it, so she hurriedly left.

"Brother Worm, you say...... Oops, why do you give me an alarm clock?"

"You bastard, such a good girl, do you still have to think about it, are you trying to get away with it?"

"It's not...... Oh, come back?"

"For the first time, this immortal feels like he wants to kill you!"

"Brother Worm, it's not advocating free love now...... What the hell are you going to do?"

"It's okay!

"I didn't refuse!"

"You'd better give Ben Xian some thought!"

"No, the confession didn't conquer me, but it took you down!"

"That's parental consent!"

“......”

Lin Xiuqi thought of Fang Cai Sikong Suqing's appearance, and suddenly felt very cute, he quickly shook his head, took out the crystal grass and the Xuanjing flower, and prepared to increase the crystallization rate again.

In the next two days, Lin Xiuqi did not leave the cave, he took the crystal grass and the Xuanjing flower, and the crystallization rate increased again, reaching 93%, and the rest of the time was used to adapt to the changes in the body.

He found that the benefits of cultivating in the seven-step prison realm were amazing, allowing his body to reach an extreme state, but one thing was very strange, such a perfect body actually made him feel a sense of lack of nothingness, this feeling was not a feeling of touching some kind of mystical reason, but a feeling similar to "phantom limb pain", as if what he originally had was gone.

......

On October 4, 2022 in the mortal calendar, it happens to be the Double Ninth Festival of the Huaxia Kingdom, on this day suitable for the elderly to travel, hundreds of monks from Mangyuan Academy gathered near the East Gate Teleportation Formation, and the four major academies can apply to watch such grand events as martial arts competitions, but it is impossible to agree to them all, and the screening criteria are unknown.

At this time, there were nine monks surrounded in the center, and these nine people were all Xuanye peak cultivators, and they were the nine representatives of Mangyuan Academy.

Lin Xiuqi walked leisurely from the direction of the restaurant, still holding a handful of dried fruits in his hand, eating as he walked.

When everyone saw Lin Xiuqi, they silently got out of the way, and they couldn't help but admire in their hearts.

Sure enough, it's a big heart, and as a representative, he dares to be late.

Xuanyuan Huanyu took the first step to Lin Xiuqi's side, hugged the other party's neck, rubbed the other party's bald head with the other hand and said, "You kid is good, you can be selected without participating in the selection!"

"Senior Brother Xuanyuan, aren't you the same?"

"At least we're there!"

"I'm sorry I didn't enjoy the superiority of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight with you!"

"You, you're late! A new student dares to be late!"

"The dean hasn't arrived yet!"

"But we're all here!"

"I was wrong!
