Summer is the most comfortable season for the Hansan Sect Islands. This summer is the most lively season of the Hanshan Sect, because the triennial cultivation competition is about to begin.

The news came that the start of the cultivation competition was scheduled for the first day of the eighth month, and it would generally last for about half a month, and the inner disciples of the four islands of the Hanshan Sect would be determined by the master, and the contestants would gather on the East Island to compete and compete.

Sima Wenkang had already said that let the three newcomers of Beidao give it a try. They were participating for the first time, so there was a stomach full of doubts.

At dinner, Sima Wenkang went to Dongdao to discuss matters, leaving only the disciples to eat together.

Bai Yuelan asked Xiang Nan, who was serving food: "Why do the senior brothers call the Cultivation Contest a Unity Competition?"

"The next time my little sister helps me cook for a day, I'll tell you. "Xiang Nan took the opportunity to make a request.

Bai Yuelan is not so timid when she first came to the island, the senior brothers treat people very well, and they are used to her little playfulness, so when she encountered this situation, she immediately turned her head to Ye Zhi: "Second senior brother, you tell me." ”

"Help with a day's meal?" Ye Zhi also smiled.

"A meal?" Bai Yuelan counteroffered.

"Deal. Ye Zhi nodded.

"Second Senior Brother, you actually cut off your beard halfway!" After shouting dissatisfiedly, Xiang Nan asked Bai Yuelan: "I can also lower the price, as long as you help me make a meal, why don't you negotiate the price with me?"

"Since it's all the price of a meal, why don't I trade with the second senior brother who looks more eye-catching?" Bai Yuelan grinned.

"Do you want to listen to the explanation, or do you want to see your face?" said Xiang Nan.

"Both. ”

Xiang Nan showed a "woman is really superficial" expression and said: "Forget it, according to the rules, the two of you are also a group anyway." No matter how handsome the second senior brother is, he will make you tired of looking at it!"

"Why are Bai Yuelan and Second Senior Brother a group?" Ding Rong, who had been quietly watching everyone arguing, suddenly asked.

When she came back from Nandao, Ye Zhi found that Ding Rong was unusually quiet, and she didn't make a fuss with Xiang Nan and Tong Yuyang, and everyone was noisy just now, but she didn't intervene. If it weren't for the fact that she was very concerned about this question, I guess she wouldn't have spoken. She should care...... Right?

Ye Zhi looked at her and replied, "Although the Hanshan Sect holds a cultivation competition, although it is to consider the progress of the cultivation of each island, the biggest purpose is to strengthen unity, not to decide the winner. ”

Ding Rong was puzzled: "So what?"

"Therefore, the disciples of each island are participating in a team, and the size is matched. ”

Tong Yuyang also came to his senses from the meal: "Big and small matching?

"Our senior brother Beidao has been absent, so the second senior brother is the biggest. Xiang Nanbian explained, pointing to Bai Yuelan: "You are the youngest, congratulations on you and the second senior brother." In the past, the second senior brother took me, and he was very good at taking care of people. ”

"Great!" Bai Yuelan smiled brightly, with the second senior brother covering, she was not afraid of anything.

Tong Yuyang asked: "It was just the three of you before, so how to form a team?"

"I'm the fourth, the second senior brother is naturally taking me, as for the third senior brother, ......" Xiang glanced at Qu Linghan to the south, and whispered: "Who dares to approach the iceberg man?"

"Xiangnan, I heard ......" Qu Linghan stopped his regular eating movements, his eyes stabbed Xiangnan like an ice knife, Xiangnan hurriedly shrunk his neck and hid behind Ye Zhi. Even so, Ye Zhi couldn't stop his mountain-like figure.

Ye Zhi said with a smile: "There are also singular disciples on other islands, so sometimes the third junior brother is teamed up with the disciples of other islands, for example, a junior sister in the West Island......" Speaking of this, he added meaningfully: "She is not afraid of cold." ”

"Second Senior Brother!" Qu Linghan's tone was dangerous.

Ye Zhi smiled and stopped talking, the matter of that girl should not be mentioned, so as not to arouse Qu Linghan's anger.

Tong Yuyang immediately found out about the problem, and cried with a sad face: "Senior brother is not here, the number of people on our island is even, and we can form a team...... However, I don't want to be on a team with the third senior brother!"

No one paid any attention to him.

Xiang Nan was complacent: "This year, I am finally 'big', I will bring the fifth junior sister!"

Ding Rong nodded.

Xiang Nan saw Ding Rong's obedient appearance, and was a little unaccustomed: "Fifth Senior Sister, are you really willing? Don't you always like to stick to the second senior brother?"

“...... It's good to be on a team with you. Ding Rong said lightly, picked up the empty bowl and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen.

"Senior Sister Ding is a little ...... Weird. "To the south.

"I want to be in a group with Ding Rong!" Tong Yuyang hooked Xiang Nan's shoulder: "Why don't we two change?"

"I'm not going to change it, that iceberg man!" Xiang Nan immediately objected.

The voice of the iceberg man came: "To the south, Tong Yuyang, I heard ......"

Ye Zhi looked at Ding Rong's distant back and was silent.

On August 1st, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the united Hanshan Sect cultivation competition officially began.

The disciples of the four islands gathered on the front lawn of the main hall of the Hanshan Sect on the East Island, and it was rare for all the people to get together, and there were people who greeted each other and talked to each other everywhere.

A young man asked, "It's been a long time, how is Senior Brother Zeng's cultivation?" You were able to be in the limelight three years ago!"

Another person replied: "In three years, many juniors and disciples are estimated to have caught up, and I am really embarrassed to mention three years ago." ”

Yuan Lang, a handsome man standing in front of the Dongdao team, said to Bai Yuelan: "Senior Sister Bai, you are here, you are participating in the competition for the first time, right?"

Bai Yuelan smiled: "Yes, for the first time." I've been practicing for a short time, and I'm so worried. ”

Yuan Lang was relieved: "The competition focuses on cultivating the essence of unity, not a life-and-death duel that other sects engage in at every turn, there is generally not much danger, just participate seriously." ”

A round-faced girl asked the beautiful man next to her sadly: "Senior Brother Qu, this time you can form a team in a double number on the island?" As soon as I heard the news, I couldn't sleep these nights! I still want to be in a group with you! I was very happy to be in a group with you last time. ”

Qu Linghan's face became even colder: "......"

A woman in Nandao asked shyly: "Senior Brother Ye, how are you preparing......

Ye Zhi replied lightly: "Our cultivation in the North Island has always been inferior to that of other islands, especially not as good as the senior sisters in the South Island. ”

"This is a fact!" A stout-looking man's words were thorny: "Beidao's fame is just 'human beauty', each of them is good-looking, practice, every countdown, but Er'er!" The female disciples of the islands admired the gentle and beautiful man Ye Zhi of Beidao, which made the other male disciples feel a kind of unquenchable jealousy, and this was forgotten, but Huang Xiaocheng, who was born to his favorite junior sister, was thinking about Qu Linghan, the ice cube of Beidao, so he was deeply dissatisfied with everyone in Beidao.

Sima Wenkang has always been low-key, and the habits of Beidao that he has cultivated are not too competitive for the victory or defeat of the cultivation competition, and the three disciples such as Ye Zhi do not like to be paid too much attention to others, and generally do not do their best, so the islands do not think that the masters and apprentices of Beidao are good at cultivation. Upon hearing this, only Tong Yuyang frowned, and the other people in the North Island didn't care about these false names, and they didn't want to refute them.
