Faster.

At the edge of the pool, a wooden stick that had been frosted so smooth cut through the moonlight like a ghost in the night, too fast to catch.

"And even faster. ”

A half-grown child caught the stick like a quiet bolt of lightning, and his feet were as solid as a rock, and the cloth was wrapped around his palms and sticks, as if he could not catch the swift ghost in his hands without doing so.

"It's not enough. ”

Suddenly he moved, as if chasing a ghost in his hand, and as if he was being dragged by this ghost, he suddenly soared.

At this time, he also became a ghost, an elusive, nowhere to be seen.

Of course, people can't fly, and Chu Xiaowen is also very sure that he is not a ghost, but his figure is too fast and too light, just like there is no weight, as soon as his toes touch the ground, he is bounced up, and then appears like a ghost a zhang away.

And his sword is still the most ordinary sword move, a sword move with no moves at all, but it seems to be faster at this time.

It was so fast that the wooden stick seemed to have disappeared, and what Chu Xiaowen was holding was nothing more than a cloud of air.

Suddenly, the ghost on the edge of the waterhole disappeared, and Chu Xiaowen stood in the same place again, holding the wooden stick firmly in his hand, as if he had never left the place at all.

"It's too slow. ”

Chu Xiaowen muttered, still very dissatisfied with his speed.

He shook his head, placed the stick next to the tree, and suddenly turned his head to look at the pool.

"Hmph. Chu Xiaowen snorted coldly, and then walked down the mountain road that he had walked for nearly seven years......

The Chu family dojo is divided into two places, large and small, and the small dojo is a large hall, where the disciples can usually ask the instructors about their cultivation and swordsmanship.

And the square outside the small dojo is the avenue field. It's wide enough for a thousand people without feeling crowded.

The Great Daochang is also a place where the sword is practiced collectively every day and the sword formation is practiced several times a month.

The sky is not yet dawn, but now there are many children of the Chu family gathered on the avenue.

"I was finally able to move up to the first class today. Xiao Ji, who is moving from cuteness to beauty, said excitedly.

The children of the Chu family, who surrounded her like the stars holding the moon, immediately nodded yes, and Chu Jiwu was the first to say before the others: "Xiao Ji will be able to worship incense as a teacher from today onwards, you are a rare Five Elements Master of our generation, and you will definitely be able to achieve high achievements in the future, don't forget us then." ”

The other slower ones regretted it greatly, but they immediately echoed the congratulations, causing the little girl to giggle.

"Sister Xiao Ji, I haven't congratulated you yet, today is a big day, wait a moment to be my brother's treat, and put on a banquet for you in Fengyulou. Chu Xingxian, who was still the strongest and a head taller than the others, walked over at this time and said to Xiao Ji with a smile on his face.

The others immediately gave way to their positions, getting older and older, making them more able to observe the situation from ignorant children, and Chu Xingxian, who had always practiced very fast, was still the boss in the small circle.

Xiao Ji held the hair hanging down to his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then thank you Brother Xingxian." ”

"Hahaha, it's rare to be happy, you have to come too, if anyone dares to be late, they won't give me face. Chu Xingxian's eyebrows were even more joyful, and he posed as the boss in front of Xiao Ji, and instructed the children around him.

Of course, the others thanked Chu Xingxian for his invitation.

"Ah, here you are. ”

Just when Chu Xingxian wanted to brag with Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji suddenly cheered, and walked through everyone like a butterfly towards the door of the dojo.

As soon as Chu Xiaowen walked into the dojo, he heard a crisp sound like a yellow warbler, and raised his eyes to see the lively and lovely girl walking lightly, as well as the jealousy hidden by those people behind.

Chu Xiaowen frowned, immediately dodged to the side, and let the door out.

Following him in was a boy who was slightly shorter than him, and although he was still young, he could already see that he would be handsome and upright in the future.

Xiao Ji didn't seem to see Chu Xiaowen who flashed to the side at all, but gently fell next to Chu Li and complained: "Xiao Li, why are you so late today, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

No matter how the girl's complaint sounded, it felt like a coquette, how could Chu Li be angry, he smiled and said: "I went to inquire about the news today, and I heard that there are a few very talented people in the private school in the city, and they will also come to take classes with us today." But because of this, you neglected our little Ji girl, don't be angry. ”

"Of course you have to be angry, Brother Xingxian is going to hold a banquet in the Wind and Rain Building today, and you will have to punish yourself with three cups when you arrive. The little girl puffed out her cheeks and said, very cute and moving.

"We can't drink at our age. Chu Li said with a wry smile, the two talked while walking, and when Chu Xiaowen passed by, Chu Li bowed to him.

Chu Li has a very good personality and is very gentle and polite to everyone, so he is also the only one who will greet Chu Xiaowen when he sees him, and the others are just like Xiao Ji now, even if Chu Li next to him greets him, she didn't notice this person at all, and continued to laugh and talk with Chu Li.

Although Chu Liren is good, he is still too young, and the things he thinks about are too simple, and he is too tender to become the head of the behemoth family of the Chu family.

But none of this had anything to do with Chu Xiaowen, he quietly picked up his wooden sword from the small dojo, then walked to the corner, sat down cross-legged, put the wooden sword across his lap, closed his eyes and waited.

And like him, also sitting cross-legged in the corner is the Xiao Fei, who is known as a genius.

Xiao Fei always imitates his father, but it doesn't mean that his personality is really like Chu Long, as he gets older, although he still has a bit of a withdrawn taste, he is more willing to talk to people than before.

The cultivation of a martial artist, before he showed it, even a person with a high cultivation could not see it clearly, but young people like to show off their cultivation and swordsmanship the most, and even Xiao Fei sometimes showed his cultivation a few times at the request of other children.

From this, it can be seen that his talent is the best among these generations of disciples, and he has reached the peak of the Taixuan Realm a month ago, and he is undoubtedly one of the strongest people in the current academy. This kind of cultivation speed has not appeared for many years.

At this time, it was still very early, and the other children also arrived one after another today in advance, Chu Xiaowen and they were promoted to the first class, but the first class was not only them.

In the Chu family, if the children want to leave the academy and be truly independent, they can only do so when they are in the age of binding their hair, even if they choose a sword in the sword void, but those who are not yet fifteen years old will automatically stay and continue to study with those who are still young.

Therefore, at this time, many older teenagers watched these new primary school students in the corner with interest.

Soon after, the instructors showed up on time, and the children immediately stood in separate formations, but the formation was still a little chaotic.

The children in the second class are okay, but the position of the whole class has moved, but many of the children in the youngest class have come to class on the first day, and they are young, so they are naturally very scared when they come to a place without their mothers, but in the same mountain villa, people are often seen, so when Xiang Jiaoxi came over to arrange a place for them, he also obediently followed and stood up.

The first class on the other side was also a little chaotic because of the cooperation of the old and new people, but when Yu Jiaoxi's stern gaze came over, they still quickly found their place.

As for Chu Xiaowen, he was very accustomed to standing at the end, and basically didn't move a single step.

It was only then that the queue stood up, and Yu Jiaoxi spoke, "Come in." ”

Many people got the news and knew that someone with a foreign surname would come over today and join their first class, so they all turned their heads curiously.

It's just that this first glance made them feel surprised, the three people who came in were all twelve-year-old children, but the one who walked in front was a girl, a very cute girl, and Xiao Ji had a more pure temperament, and her eyes were black and white, making people feel that she was like a blank piece of paper, pure and flawless.

They are all the children of family members or shop guys outside the Chu family, and it was an undreaming thing to enter the Chu family village to study, but now that they are being stared at by so many people, the little girl can't help but be even more nervous.

Chu Xingxian's eyes couldn't leave the girl, and he couldn't see Xiao Ji's dissatisfied face, so he lowered his voice and said to the people around him: "I heard that there is a girl named Liu Meixue today who is a famous little beauty, and it's really not covered." ”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three children walked up to several teachers with stiff steps, and Yu Jiaoxi looked at it, and the children below immediately quieted down.

Such majesty made the three of them even more nervous.

Yujiao Xi cleared his throat and said: "You also know that every three years, the disciples who perform well in the outer courtyard will be selected and enter the first class, and the old man will not talk nonsense, they are Su Changge, Bai Xi and Liu Meixue, and they will be your senior brothers in the future, I hope you will unite and love and encourage you to move forward together." Okay, the three of you stand at the back. ”

Yu Jiao Xi briefly introduced it, and chose the positions for the three newcomers.

However, Chu Xiaowen's brows frowned inadvertently, because that Liu Meixue was just assigned behind him, and looking at today's situation, there might be some trouble to find him.

Liu Meixue attracted most people's attention like a magnet when the crowd passed through, of course, the children in the second and youngest classes just saw those big brothers looking at the girl so they followed along, they actually didn't understand what was strange and worth noting.

However, there were also some different eyes, Xiao Ji was full of hostility, and Chu Xiaowen was a little troublesome, but he quickly reined in and was not noticed.

Liu Meixue stood behind Chu Xiaowen, a faint fragrance came, and with the eyes of the other disciples who turned their heads from time to time, Chu Xiaowen only hoped that nothing would happen.

However, many things in the world are uncontrollable, simple swordsmanship, the children of the foreign surname and the children of the Chu family are also practiced, but maybe they are too nervous, and the movements of the three new children are a little chaotic, because most of the people in front of them are the masters of the family who are waiting for the adults.

Although the Chu family prohibits slavery, the subordinates are subordinates after all, and only those who have cultivated to the highest level can raise their heads in the Chu family.

Therefore, after practicing a few times, Liu Meixue's movements slowed down too much, and her wooden sword collided with Chu Liwen's wooden sword with a snap.

It felt like hitting a steel plate, Chu Xiaowen's wooden sword didn't move, but Liu Meixue's wooden sword fell to the ground unsteadily.

Many people couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the back, and many people wanted to come over and care about this new junior sister, but the majesty of the teachers was too long, and no one dared to stop after all.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Liu Meixue hurriedly apologized, thinking at this time about the serious consequences of offending the children of the Chu family when she went out, her parents were working in the store opened by the Chu family in the city, relying on the Chu family to live, at this time, it was like committing a capital crime, she was so scared that she didn't know what to do, her snow-white face became even whiter, and her lips trembled a little.

Chu Xiaowen looked at the wooden sword under his feet, as if he was struggling for a while, and finally sighed, bent down to pick up the wooden sword, and handed it to Liu Meixue.

"It doesn't matter if the sword falls, just pick it up. ”

Liu Meixue, who was still bending down to apologize, was suddenly stunned, looked at Chu Xiaowen, who was plain and expressionless, and after taking the wooden sword in a daze, she suddenly began to bend down again: "Thank you, there will be no next time, there will be no next time." ”

Chu Xiaowen sighed, he felt that there were many dissatisfied eyes on him in front of him.

"You don't look for trouble, but trouble comes to you. ”
