Deacon Lee said he has been unhappy lately.

He was a relatively young deacon of the Mingjian Sect, and he had been assessed as a senior deacon in the Mingjian Sect ten years ago.

The assessment of senior deacons is to require that at least half of the outer disciples they bring with them be regarded as inner disciples.

This is all-encompassing for the assessment of deacons, and it is too demanding.

As a prominent young deacon in recent years, Deacon Li was rewarded with high hopes from the beginning, but he was too unlucky to draw the most difficult team to lead.

The group of outer disciples led by Liu Qi had a total of ten people, and their talents belonged to a very low level among all the outer disciples.

The disciples of the Ming Sword Sect are all deacons in charge, and Liu Qi is a group of people that all the deacons are unwilling to bring.

When Deacon Lee drew them, he saw the other deacons casting regretful and even gloating glances.

At that time, Deacon Li was hot-blooded and vowed to bring up the worst team in the legend, but as a result, he was hit again and again, which consumed his perseverance.

The heart is cold.

These children have been staying in the outer disciples for ten years!

In the past ten years, I haven't even practiced the most basic things, how can I become an inner disciple!

Especially recently, Deacon Li noticed Liu Qi's depressed mood and impatience with cultivation, and he was particularly depressed.

Is it finally going to collapse?

He sat at the desk, his hand touching his forehead, and sighed.

"Lao Li, if you continue like this, you won't be able to get the title of senior deacon. A man who was also dressed in a deacon's costume stood beside Deacon Li and said with a smile.

Deacon Li smiled bitterly: "The assessment is not over yet, I still have time." ”

"What can we do in this time? Their cultivation has almost grown, and you have also built a spiritual qi array for them, but their talent is still like that, according to me, it is better to directly give them some pills, improve their cultivation again, and let them become inner disciples with the conditions of advanced cultivation." The deacon persuaded.

Deacon Li shook his head decisively.

"No, the strength generated by the elixir will limit their future achievements to this, I am their deacon, and I am responsible for them. Deacon Li frowned and said, "Their potential needs to be tapped by me, rather than directly stopping them." ”

The deacon was speechless, he knew Deacon Li's paranoia, and reluctantly patted Deacon Li's shoulder: "Alas, that's all I have to say, you can do whatever you want." ”

After speaking, the deacon walked away, and when he left, he glanced at Deacon Li and shook his head slightly, feeling pity.

"It's a pity that such an excellent deacon can't become a senior deacon, but the poor man must have his pathetic, this Lao Li will not be flexible, and his paranoid temperament will suffer a big loss sooner or later......"

Deacon Li rubbed his brows, feeling very irritable inside.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Without waiting for Deacon Li to speak, a group of mermaids rushed in.

"Deacon Lee!"

Deacon Li raised his head and looked at Liu Qi and the others who broke in in surprise.

"Why did you just break in, no courtesy!" Deacon Li frowned and scolded.

"Didn't we knock on the door? A female disciple from the outer sect said with a smile.

The corners of Deacon Li's mouth twitched: "I didn't say let you in." ”

"Ouch, little things. The female disciple smiled and said, "Deacon Li, do you know what day it is?"

"What day?" Deacon Lee was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

The anniversary of the founding of the Ming Sword Sect, the festival of Yanzhou, and the day of the sect master's opening meeting?

No, it's not today......

Just when Deacon Li was puzzled, the female disciple smiled and said, "Today is the tenth year that Deacon Li has led us. ”

Deacon Li was stunned.

Today is the 10th year.

He looked at these immature faces in front of him, and not only sighed in his heart.

It's been ten years, and time flies.

In the past ten years, he has been practicing with these children, and he has unconsciously developed a deep affection.

Deacon Lee found it tricky from the very beginning when he met them, but under his teachings, everything was slowly executing according to his plan, but unfortunately the progress was too slow.

"Today, we all want to thank Deacon Lee for taking care of us in the past ten years. Liu Qi said with a smile.

Deacon Lee smiled.

Liu Qi and the other outer disciples bowed deeply, Liu Qi lowered his head and said seriously: "We know that Deacon Li is conducting the assessment of senior deacons, and he has done his best for us in the past ten years, and he has not complained about us, but he is very responsible for us, we see it in our eyes and are grateful." ”

"We know that our talent is like this, and if we haven't broken through in the near future, we will probably leave the Ming Sword Sect and return to the mortal world to live an ordinary life. Liu Qi said.

When Deacon Li heard this, he sighed in his heart.

The Ming Sword Sect does not raise idlers, there are many people who come to the Ming Sword Sect to become outer disciples, but there are very few who can really go further, and many of these outer disciples leave the Ming Sword Sect every year, because they find that they may not be suitable for cultivation.

These people in front of them are the outer disciples whose cultivation progress has been the slowest in recent years, and if they don't make any progress, they really have to think about how they should go in the future.

And Deacon Li will also re-evaluate the senior deacon, but after this opportunity is wasted, it will affect the results of the next assessment.

Thinking of this, Deacon Li's heart became heavy.

Liu Qi Huoran raised his head, his eyes flashing with a fine light.

"Deacon Li, we have misunderstood you before, and we are very guilty now, and we apologize to you. ”

They brushed their heads together again.

Deacon Li was stunned for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile: "It's okay, you all get up." ”

"Deacon Lee, from now on we will not disappoint you again. Liu Qi said solemnly: "We will definitely do our best to let Deacon Li successfully complete the assessment of senior deacon." ”

Liu Qi and the others took a step back, and suddenly pulled out the sword in the scabbard, and the momentum on their bodies was great!

Whoop -

They swung their swords in unison, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the wind was scorching, making people feel as if they were in a raging fire!

Then, Liu Qi took a step, and the wooden sword in his hand was like a thousand-pound heavy sword, slashing a circle, making a sound of breaking the air!

Whew-

The paper on Deacon Li's desk suddenly flew up, the surrounding decorations were trembling, and some things even ignited a little spark!

Deacon Lee stood up abruptly and stared at them.

"This is ......" Deacon Lee was a little excited, he couldn't believe his eyes at all.

They actually did it, they actually did it!

"Deacon Li, we've been practicing the Chaoyang Sword Technique lately, and now it's time for you to test the results. Liu Qi's words made Deacon Li have mixed feelings in his heart.

It turned out that they had been cultivating in secret, just to surprise him!

Looking at the sweat on their faces, for some reason, Deacon Li's eyes moistened.

"Is Deacon Li crying?" a female disciple wondered.
