Chen Lichou bowed slightly, showing his respect for Ding Ning, and then turned to look at Xu Lianhua and Xia Wan.

"I don't want you to be with him. ”

He was silent for a moment and said, "This is very unwise. ”

Xu Lianhua looked at her friend's golden face dyed by the sun, and a self-deprecating smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then he lowered his head.

For him, sometimes he just doesn't want people to see his disappointment and sadness.

"People will always do unwise things in their lives... Because many things are more important than sanity and wisdom, such as friendship. ”

Xu Lianhua lowered her head and said slowly.

The breeze in the valley blew on Chen Lichou's body.

The early summer breeze was warm, but Chen Lichou felt a little cold.

He had known Xu Lianhua for a long time, so at this time he completely understood the meaning of Xu Lianhua's words.

If it weren't Ding Ning today, but Chen Lichou was a disciple of Aries Cave, because of friendship, Xu Lianhua would also sit next to him Chen Lichou.

However, now, he is unwilling to sit next to Xu Lianhua, so the friendship is naturally gone.

Chen Lichou's mouth was slightly bitter, he couldn't persuade Xu Lianhua anymore, and after taking a deep breath, he turned his head to look at Xia Wan's eyes.

However, Xia Wan turned her head away from him, avoiding his gaze.

Chen Lichou got the answer.

He was also a little sad, but he didn't think he had made a mistake.

In his opinion, friendship is also optional.

You can choose a bright future, why do you choose to walk with some people to a narrower and narrower dead end?

He turned in silence, ready to walk across the shed to the other side.

"Do you want hot water?"

At that moment, a somewhat reserved but polite voice entered his ear.

His brows jumped, and he followed the sound and saw Zhang Yi holding a bowl of hot water, looking at him very sincerely.

Chen Lichou looked at Zhang Yi's eyes.

Zhang Yi's eyes were very sincere.

"I can't understand it. ”

Chen Lichou didn't pick up the bowl in Zhang Yi's hand, turned around and continued to leave, smiling a little self-deprecatingly, and said softly: "Who would be able to die with him for a bowl of hot water?"

Hearing his words, Xu Lianhua was still silent.

He thinks Chen Lichou's words are right.

It's just that some things are only about people's feelings, and have nothing to do with right or wrong.

"Could it be him?"

When Chen Lichou turned to leave, Xia Wan had already turned her head to look at his back, and at this time, Chen Lichou walked away, and she said softly.

"No, it won't. ”

Dugu Bai, who had been sharpening the wooden sword seriously and didn't even glance at Chen Lichou, answered her question with certainty: "If it was the last chess piece she buried, Chen Lichou would not have said these words deliberately." ”

Xia Wan took a sip of hot water.

Originally, a person has been hungry for a long time, even drinking this pure water will have a sweet feeling, but at this time, there is a bitterness between her mouth and tongue.

Although there are Xu Lianhua, Dugu Bai and Yi Xin around him, there are Ye Haoran and Gu Xichun on the opposite side... Coupled with the current Chen Lichou, among the top five candidates in the talent list, there are already three who must be their opponents.

She knows Chen Lichou's strength very well, she knows that Chen Lichou is much stronger than her, if it is in normal times, Xu Lianhua and Chen Lichou may be difficult to decide, but now Xu Lianhua is extremely seriously injured, how can she fight?

And Lie Yinghong, and that chess piece..."She took a deep breath and said slowly.

She didn't say it all, but everyone present understood what she meant.

"Why hasn't Liehuhong come out yet?"

Nangong Caishu, who was treating the wound on his left arm, said in a cold voice.

Everyone still doesn't know that Lie Yinghong can't come out because of Shen Yi and Xie Changsheng, and in everyone's opinion, although Lie Yinghong hasn't appeared yet, it's only a matter of time before it appears.

At this time, there were sixteen or seventeen candidates on the other side of the shed, and they were an absolute disadvantage both in terms of quantity and ranking on the talent list.

......

Chen was far away from the sound of sorrowful footsteps.

The room was quiet again, and the silence was a little unsettling.

"It's not that complicated. ”

Ding Ning likes to be quiet, but he doesn't like to make the people around him uneasy, so he said calmly: "There are so many people, the chance of winning in the end is already very high." ”

All eyes around him were focused on him.

Even Dugu Bai, who was already sharpening the fifth wooden sword, raised his head and looked at him.

"I don't understand where your faith is, but I think people always have to do some presumptuous things in their lives, do a few things that make you feel proud. ”

Yi Xin suddenly laughed and said sincerely: "Although even if you fail this time, you are presumptuous enough to make me feel proud, but I still hope that you can succeed in the end." ”

Xia Wan didn't say anything, but her mood calmed down inexplicably.

She began to understand that it was because it made sense... As long as you feel that something is meaningful, your previous practice seems to become meaningful.

Her eyes began to glow with a wonderful glow.

She thought that this might be the true recklessness described in Suxin Jianzhai's Sword Sutra.

Nangong Caishu's eyes also lit up at this time.

"He Chaoxi is out!"

She let out a soft cry of surprise.

A familiar figure that looked tired, but extremely muscular stepped out of the mountain path between the cliffs.

"I'm glad you were by my side, otherwise I would have cried to death. ”

Xu Lianhua smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Xia Wan beside her.

"Fortunately, I don't have many friends, so I don't feel that way. Dugu Bai also laughed.

In their sight, He Chaoxi, who was also covered in blood, walked over without any hesitation the moment he saw Ding Ning and the others.

"Making friends also depends on timing. Yi Xin added.

Then he laughed too.

Xia Wan's heart suddenly warmed.

She couldn't help but laugh because she knew that she might have just lost a friend, but she would gain a lot of real friends here.

"I can't figure out how I can laugh in this situation. ”

A young man in a light blue brocade suit looked at the smiles of these people from a distance, and couldn't help frowning and said to the person beside him.

This young man was Zhou Wangnian, who had a verbal dispute with Xie Changsheng at the beginning of the Sword Club.

At this time, the back of his brocade clothes was full of blood, and several wounds even turned out of white bones, and a student behind him was helping him bandage it.

For some reason, the smiles of these people made him feel more chilling than the injuries on his back.

The simple shed naturally separates the people on the two sides, and the people on Ding Ning's side are still very few compared to their side, but at this moment, Ding Ning and the others are just sitting quietly, not only Zhou Wangnian, but almost everyone on their side feels that Ding Ning and the others seem to be putting more and more pressure on them.

......

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually became overcast.

From the beginning of the selection of students one after another, the interval between the selection of students to the coming out is getting longer and longer, and no one has appeared for a long time.

Zhang Yi's heart suddenly sank.

In his sight, some cultivators wearing blue jade robes appeared... These practitioners were walking from various mountain paths between the cliffs towards the valley where they were.

The cultivators of the Minshan Sword Sect appeared one after another, and there was only one possibility in his mind, that is, the level of the Sea of Thorns in front of him was almost over.

At this time, he didn't feel happy that Lie Yinghong hadn't appeared yet, he just thought that Shen Yi and the others hadn't appeared yet.

A strange noise rang out.

The vast majority of the students in the valley are also beginning to discover this fact.

Xu Lianhua and Xia Wan couldn't help but glance at each other, and at this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded between the cliffs.

It was the end of the day, and almost everyone's breathing became heavy with the sound of heavy footsteps.

The sound of heavy footsteps, beating like a war drum, echoed in everyone's hearts.

Nangong Caishu's eyes suddenly widened to the extreme.

She saw the figure with everyone, but because she was the person who was most familiar with that person in the field, she was the first to cry out: "Xu Heshan!"

A soft cry of disbelief rang out.

Nangong Caishu was not mistaken.

At this time, it was not Lie Yinghong who came out, but Xu Heshan.

"How so?"

Zhou Wangnian couldn't help but scream.

Everyone knows that Lie Yinghong, who ranks first in the talent list, is really strong, and Xu Heshan is just a negligible existence for them.

Many of the candidates not far from him frowned deeply.

Xu Heshan is from Ding Ning's side again.

At this moment, even if there was only one more person on Ding Ning's side, the air around them would become much heavier.

However, at this moment, all the sounds suddenly disappeared.

Because Xu Heshan seemed to hear Nangong Caishu's cry, he suddenly paused.

When the figure paused, Xu Heshan raised his head.

He looked at where Nangong Caishu and Ding Ning were, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak, but he didn't make any sound, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

It was only when blood poured out of his mouth that everyone saw that his hands had been covering his abdomen vigorously.

Blood was still flowing from his fingers.

At this time, his strength was completely exhausted, and his hand could no longer be covered and let go.

As his hands let go, a stream of blood flowed out of the wound in his abdomen, even mixed with intestines.

Everyone's breathing stopped.

Nangong Caishu's entire body froze, and her face turned snow-white.

A sword light fell from the sky, and the moment Xu Heshan fell on his back, it was already at his side.

The sword light only flashed, and Xu Heshan's figure had disappeared from everyone's sight.

However, the picture of that moment is firmly engraved in everyone's minds.

Long before entering the Sea of Thorns, Geng Jian had said that this level was extremely difficult, and there was even a danger of intestinal penetration, but no one expected that such a thing would really happen.

Even if such an injury may not be a complete fatal injury, the picture is really unbearable for many young candidates like them.

Zhou Wunian's body couldn't help but tremble violently.

"That may be what happens on his side. ”

His voice was also a little trembling, and he muttered to himself with a chill.
