Lu Qi snorted coldly: "Don't you understand the rules of the academy? If you don't want to fight, I'll go to your elders in charge, and at that time, I'm afraid you will not only have to accept the challenge, but also be punished accordingly!"

When Zhao Xingbo heard this, his attitude softened, and he said silently: "The door is not locked, please come in first, we have something to discuss." ”

"That's good!" Lu Qi snickered and pushed the door directly.

After entering the house, Lu Qi quietly closed the door, probably glanced at the house, and found that the furnishings in this room were more luxurious than those caves, the table was actually a marble tabletop, and the chair next to it was actually made of golden silk nanmu, and the bed inside was still a stone bed, but the bedding and pillows were all silk satin, and there were some landscape paintings on it, which set off the whole room more warmly.

That Zhao Xingbo was sitting at the head of the bed at this time, wearing a white robe, clean and tidy, his face was still pink and tender as usual, and he was handsome and lively.

"Not bad, boy, I'm quite good at enjoying it," Lu Qi said with a smile.

That Zhao Xingbo jumped down directly from the head of the bed, clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Senior Brother Lu came to the cold house, and he didn't entertain him well, and he hoped to forgive his sins." ”

Lu Qi sneered: "Hehe, you are very good at talking, I remember when you were in the inn, weren't you crazy, how could it change so quickly?"

When Zhao Xingbo heard this, he nodded and said, "Aren't I young and ignorant, besides, it's been a few years, so don't worry about me." ”

In fact, Zhao Xingbo had already discovered Lu Qi's cultivation and golden breastplate, so he had such an attitude, if he couldn't bow his head in time, he was afraid that he would bring death to himself, and his cultivation was like an ant in front of Lu Qi, which was not worth mentioning at all, so he tried his best to fight for himself to have some bargaining chips alive, and besides, he had been in this inner courtyard for more than three years, and he had already had a very thorough understanding of these people's sophistication, and now in the face of this situation, he could only flatter Lu Qi as much as possible.

Lu Qi shook his head and said, "Tsk, it really impresses me! It seems that you haven't learned anything else in this academy, but you have learned a lot from slapping horses and seeing the wind to make the rudder!"

Zhao Xingbo's attitude was very humble, and he still lowered his head and said: "What did Senior Brother say, your cultivation is so profound, if I dare to be presumptuous in front of you, wouldn't I be asking for my own death?"

Lu Qi originally wanted to vent with him, but this person was full of smiles, which made Lu Qi's anger disappear a lot in an instant, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person, this sentence really makes some sense.

So, Lu Qi put away his smile and said with a straight face: "I'm here today to ask you some questions, if you tell you the truth, I will let you go, if you hide something, then don't blame Senior Brother for being polite." ”

Zhao Xingbo said: "Senior Brother Lu, please speak." ”

Lu Qi said: "Do you know who is fighting Xia Ying?"

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Xingbo's eyes, and he asked, "Is Xia Ying a man or a woman?"

Lu Qi heard the black line in his head, and replied: "Of course it's a woman, the name is so delicate, how can it be a man?"

Zhao Xingbo said silently: "Then I haven't heard of it, senior brother, you don't know, when you were not here in the past two years, there were often people who went to the martial arts platform to fight, almost both men and women, and there were many people who were separated by a realm of cultivation, so the death and injury of the disciples of the entire Xiuzhen Academy were now panicked, which is also the reason why the academy is so deserted!"

After hearing this, Lu Qi fell into deep thought......

At this time, the old man of the five elements said in his mind: "This person's eyes are erratic, he is probably lying, maybe he may know who the murderer of Xia Ying is, presumably this person has said so much nonsense, just to divert your attention." ’

Lu Qi replied in his mind: "What Master said coincides with my opinion, this person is extremely cunning, even if he knows the inside story, he will not tell me, but he finally found a clue, and it can be regarded as quite effective. ’

The old man of the five elements said, "Why don't you kill him directly, and let Master and I help you search for your soul?"

Lu Qi directly denied it: "This matter must not be, because in this academy, every disciple has been registered with a soul mark, if I kill him here, then the academy will know about it as soon as possible, and at that time, I am afraid that the old monsters of the entire academy will be attracted to hunt me down, even if I use earth arts, it will be difficult to escape!"

Hearing this, the old man of the five elements said helplessly: "Then you can figure it out yourself, Master, I have no choice." ’

After saying that, the old man of the five elements fell into a deep sleep again......

The conversation between Lu Qi and the old man of the Five Elements in his heart, the outside world must not know, so Zhao Xingbo thought that Lu Qi was still pondering.

Lu Qi raised his head, looked at Zhao Xingbo and said, "Since this is the case, I won't bother you anymore, farewell!"

Zhao Xingbo was overjoyed when he saw this, and smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Senior brother, go slowly, I won't send it." ”

"Hmm," Lu Qi finished speaking, and walked out of the room without looking back.

Zhao Xingbo looked at Lu Qi's back, his eyebrows were full of haze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, I won't tell you even if I know, there is a kind of you biting me?"

Because he knew that in this academy, even if Lu Qi was arrogant, he would not dare to commit murder in the academy, so he just tried to appease Lu Qi not to challenge himself.

At this time, Lu Qi had just walked to the courtyard, and he already had a plan in his heart, that is, to go directly to the elder of the inner gate courtyard and quickly arrange the challenge!

Lu Qi originally wanted to find a disciple to ask for the location, but after turning around the courtyard, he still didn't see a single figure, which also responded to Zhao Xingbo's remarks, and it was really extremely deserted and lifeless.

In the end, Lu Qi finally found a cave mansion at the very end, only to see that the cave mansion was very ordinary, the surrounding area was bare, and the top of the mansion door was engraved with the words 'Yan Yingshao'.

Lu Qi hugged his fists outside the mansion gate and said, "Core disciple Lu Qi has something to ask to see, and he also asks Elder Yan to open the door to talk." ”

After a while, there was a rumbling sound from the door of the house, and a gap was gradually revealed, just enough for one person to pass through, and a voice came from inside the house: "You come in." ”

After Lu Qi entered, he found a middle-aged monk about forty years old sitting upright on the futon, born with a dignified appearance and an elegant vassal style.

Lu Qi hugged his fists and said, "Disciple Lu Qi see Elder Yan." ”

Yan Yingshao's eyes were slightly small, and he smiled: "Your name is Lu Qi, right?"

Lu Qi said: "It's down." ”

Yan Yingshao looked Lu Qi up and down, nodded and said, "Cultivation is really fast, this seat has also heard of your deeds, and now it is really worthy of its reputation when I see it." ”

It was not the first time that Lu Qi had heard this kind of praise, and now that he heard it again, he felt a little harsh, but his face was still extremely respectful, after all, this elder's cultivation was profound, and it was enough to see that he couldn't see through his cultivation.

So, Lu Qi bowed his head and said: "Elder, you have won the award, and the disciples are just ordinary people, and they are not as magical as you said." ”

Yan Yingshao chuckled lightly and asked, "Haven't you just been promoted to a core disciple?

Lu Qi said: "The disciple has nothing to do recently, and he wants to challenge your disciples, so he specially came to inform you." ”

When Yan Yingshao heard this, he said with satisfaction: "Challenge is it, this idea is very good, we cultivators must constantly participate in actual combat, so that we can improve our combat effectiveness, let's say, which disciple do you want to challenge?"

Lu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I want to challenge Zhu Lin and Zhao Xingbo. ”

"Well," Yan Yingshao nodded: "When are you going to challenge, I'll arrange it for you." ”

"Let's arrange for tomorrow. Lu Qi said casually.

"So which one comes first and which one comes last?" Yan Yingshao asked.

"Don't be in order, let them go together, I'll fight one against two. Lu Qi said calmly.

"Do you know that Zhu Lin has been in Jindan for a long time, he is insidious and cunning, and he has a lot of means, and although Zhao Xingbo's cultivation is not as good as yours, he is also a foundation building Great Perfection, these two people are also quite tricky together, are you sure you want to fight two?" Yan Yingshao asked tentatively.

Lu Qi said: "Thank you for the reminder from the elders, so let's do it." ”

After hearing this, Yan Yingshao was a little surprised on his face, and praised: "A good boy has a personality, I appreciate it very much, I haven't met anyone who dares to fight two for so many years, but you have done it, not bad." ”
