Li Xihan briefly described the reunion with Su Mu in Situ's mansion, and Otowa realized that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who took a fancy to Su Mu's strength and wanted him to participate on his behalf, which was a kind of early solicitation.

"I see, what about the third senior brother? Where is he, didn't he come to this clan conference?" Yin Yu asked, Su Mu was also very curious, he hadn't found a chance to ask Li Xihan in the past two days, but now Yin Yu asked on his behalf.

"That's right, at the beginning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince selected three hundred people from the tens of thousands of clan expeditions to join his command for training, but most of them either couldn't stand the hard training and quit, or they had already joined the clan courtyard and the dark department, and only a very few people were regarded as the core force and followed the prince, and the third senior brother and I were two of them, and they were also the two strongest in that group. The three of them chatted as they walked towards the designated west gate of the Weeping Poplar Valley.

"Lord Wang Zhiyan's training is really hard, and the muscles and bones of my whole body are throbbing violently when I lie back on the bed every day, but we still support it, because we also want to be the pride of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, and we don't want to hide behind Senior Brother Su Mu all the time. ”

"Fourth Senior Brother, where are you talking about. Su Mu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Xihan to think like this.

"We are serious, junior brother, since you came back from treatment, the people in the sect have found that your smile is much less than before, although you used to be introverted and don't talk much, but you were polite to everyone, and you also had a smile when you practiced swords, but after Butterfly Valley came back, you have been keeping a straight face, just focusing on sword practice, and there is much less communication with us. ”

"That's because..."

"We actually all know that it must be the master in charge who has poured too much expectations into you, you are the hope of the rise of the entire Hanshan Sword Sect, and you have been designated as the next head by the master early, this pressure is naturally very great, and you and the master's bet Otoha also told us. ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu, senior brother, they have been asking me, and I really can't hide it. Otowa said apologetically

"Since then, the third senior brother and I have secretly made up our minds that we must rely on our own strength to grow into a strong party, and we must not always hide under the wings of you, junior brother, and we don't even have the strength to protect the sect. It is with this idea that we are able to persevere in such hard training. ”

Looking at the expression on Li Xihan's face when he spoke, you can roughly imagine what kind of rigorous training he has undergone, but I am afraid that in terms of training volume, he will not lose to himself and Otoha at all.

"And what happened later, where did the third senior brother go?"

"Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned the two of us over and told us that there were two important tasks for us to do, one of which was to stay in Luojing to continue to cultivate, prepare for the clan conference and strive to enter the top ten, and the other was to go to the extreme east of the continent to find something. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that although the mission in the extreme east of the mainland is very important, it will last extremely long and be extremely dangerous. The third senior brother and I both know each other's personalities, and we must both want each other to stay in Luojing and go by ourselves. But later, the third senior brother took the initiative to go to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince while I was asleep, and set off directly that night, leaving no information. ”

"Since then, I haven't seen the third senior brother again, and more than a year has passed since now. ”

;“ It turns out that something like this has happened," Su Mu said in surprise, "By the way, Fourth Senior Brother, where have you been these days, why haven't I seen you near my residence?"

"Ever since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose to let you complete that important task in my place, I have been staying in the inn on the outskirts of Luojing City, waiting for the clan assembly to begin. Li Xihan smiled helplessly, "Originally, my talent is also very clear, no matter how hard I try, I still can't compare to you, and I have no objection to His Royal Highness the Prince's choice, but if I can, I still hope that I can complete this task by myself." ”

"Why? Do you know the content of the mission?" This is the most curious thing for Su Mu at the moment, the crown prince Liu Changxi said that if he can successfully enter the top ten of the Tunan Fenghua List and qualify for the clan festival, he will tell himself the detailed task content before the clan festival starts.

What is this such a mysterious mission, Su Mu has been puzzled for the past two days.

"I don't know the specifics, maybe it's because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally thought that I had little chance of entering the top ten, so he didn't tell me more. Li Xihan sighed and said helplessly, "I only know that this mission is very dangerous, almost nine deaths, junior brother, you must be careful to protect yourself." ”

"I know, senior brother, it will be. Su Mu responded.

The three of them walked together and made their way to the west gate. Because of the large number of participants, it was inevitable that there would be some pushing on the road, so Su Mu cautiously protected the Qingshuang Sword on his body and the Taibai True Intention Box in the inner lining to prevent being led by others.

Su Mu and Otoyu discussed with each other the content of the previous independent training, and it turned out that Otoha was taken by Wang Shi to a place called White Emperor City, where he specially found a strong female master to guide Otowa's practice.

There are differences between men and women, whether it is the flexibility of the body or the strength and angle of the sword, and it is better to be guided by a master between people of the same sex. And according to Otoha, although the master she found for her had some mental problems and was often confused, her personal strength was a must, both swordsmanship and body skills were very strong, and her control of the true qi of the snow-capped mountains had entered the realm, and Otoha had practiced with her for a few months, and she had made rapid progress.

"How is your True Qi realm now?" Su Mu suddenly asked.

At the time of separation, Otoba Otowa had already entered the middle stage of the Sea Viewing Realm, and now that a few months have passed, I am afraid that I have already gone further, and I may have to catch up with myself.

"Guess what! give you two chances!"

"The peak of the Sea Viewing Realm?"

"That's not right!"

"Could it be that he is already in the Qi Void Realm?" Su Mu couldn't believe it, he was still stuck at the peak of the Sea Viewing Realm, and the last time he absorbed a part of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in Taibai's true meaning, his cultivation had only made a little progress.

Although he knew that Otoha had a unique advantage in true qi cultivation after receiving the guidance of the royal master, this speed of progress was too exaggerated.

Su Mu never expected that for the first time in his life, the pressure from his peers that he really felt was not Ding Ruoyan, but his junior sister Yin Yu.

Looking at her smug expression, Su Mu couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
