Chapter 660: Regaining Confidence
Looking at Zhang Hao standing on the opposite roof through the window on the third floor, Xu Che'er knew in his heart that he would not even give himself a chance to speak.
At this moment, Xu Che'er suddenly felt a deep loss in her heart, and even a little grievance, and tears couldn't help but slowly emerge.
And Xiyue shouted a few words angrily at Zhang Hao, who escaped from the inn, and then looked back at Xu Che'er who was standing there, and found that her tears were sliding down her fair face, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she said: "You still have to tie the bell to the bell, you found the wrong person in the first place!"
After saying this, Xiyue chased out of the window, and the light blue figure just flashed, and she thought that she had come to the opposite roof, but when she got there, there were only some silver taels left on the roof, and Zhang Hao had long since disappeared into the bustling street.
"Even if you still have face!" bent down to put away the silver placed on the roof, Xiyue whispered to herself, and then remembered her gaffe just now, and laughed out loud.
Although his face was veiled, he still couldn't hide his dusty temperament when he smiled. Returning to the inn with the silver, Xiyue found that Xu Che'er did not leave, but stood outside the door again, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a smile immediately lifted on the corner of her mouth: "The temperament is stubborn enough, but it's a pity that it is in the wrong place!"
Zhang Hao was not there, and Tie Yi was even more cramped in the face of Xiyue, a powerhouse in the Dacheng period, and he sat there and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yi, who was snuggling up to him, looked much more casual, her eyes kept sweeping over Xiyue's face, and after a while, she finally couldn't help but ask: "This sister, you and Zhang ......"
As soon as she said this, Xiao Yi suddenly realized something, looked back at Xu Che'er who was standing outside the door, and hurriedly changed her words: "You and Brother Wudao seem to be very familiar, how did you meet? He seems to be very afraid of you!"
"Sister?" However, the jade hand of the wine glass that Xiyue had just raised suddenly paused, and then burst into a soft laugh: "Little girl, do you know how old I am......?" I don't think I've heard anyone call me that for more than 200 years!"
These words suddenly made Xiao Yi's eyes widen, staring at her in disbelief, and she shook her head for a long time before she shook her head and said, "You look like you're in your early twenties at most, but you're not that old, hehe, you must be lying to me!"
"You girl's mouth is so sweet, if that thief can ...... it" Seeing this, Lingyue chuckled and drank the sake in the cup, and said while holding her hair in her ear.
But just halfway through the conversation, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes gradually became a little confused, as if he remembered something.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi smiled sweetly, stood up and walked around the table, sat beside Xiyue, looked at her seriously, then blinked her eyes, and said, "You look really young!"
"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter for a cultivator to maintain his appearance, little girl, if you have anything, just say it!" At this moment, Xiyue's expression became calm, and she gently put the wine glass on the table and looked at it.
Seeing that his purpose had been seen through, Xiao Yi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he looked at the door, and then said stiffly: "The Xu family did go a little too far this time, but the crime is not to death, I want to ask my sister to persuade Brother Wudao, he is so afraid of you, he will definitely listen to you!"
"Afraid of me? Hmph, he has never been afraid of anyone, not even my ......" However, hearing this, Xiyue shook her head helplessly.
I recalled in my heart that when I was in the Moon God Temple, Zhang Hao destroyed the altar on her island in a fit of rage, and roared at her in the extreme north glacier, a slap in the tomb of Xianfu, and finally in the Forest of Death, she used the Yin and Yang Wheel of Life and Death to decompose her cultivation from the peak of the Dacheng period to the current realm.
All kinds of things came to mind, and Xiyue suddenly found that she had suffered losses in the hands of Zhang Hao, and I am afraid that there are not so many in this life. He looked a little helpless for a while, and sighed and said, "Forget it, I don't want to mention the past!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi's face couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and she gently poked the table with her fingers, making a soft knock sound, and her delicate appearance looked a little worried.
At this time, Xiyue also withdrew from her memories, and suddenly smiled and raised her hand to touch Xiao Yi's hair hanging on the back of her head: "People in the world are sinister, you girl is still too kind, if you meet someone with ulterior motives, it is easy to be used!"
Saying this, I saw that she suddenly seemed to remember something, and slowly spoke, "Are you interested in cultivating?"
"I ...... I'm afraid I can't!" Xiao Yi first looked up at Tie Yi, then shook her head and said in a low voice: "I'm just a maidservant, I don't dare to expect this kind of thing!"
However, Xiyue suddenly let out a chuckle, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling crowd on the street outside, the corners of her mouth set off a cold arc: "Handmaid, hehe, when you have the ability to surpass ordinary people, who dares to underestimate you, a handmaiden? In this world, if you want not to be bullied, you must have the strength to make them afraid!"
At this point, Xiyue slowly turned around, staring at Xiao Yi with a pair of eyes that were extremely calm, her jade-like fingers opened slightly, but the space in front of her suddenly collapsed into a whirlpool.
As the whirlpool turned, the room suddenly whined.
In a secret room under the Fuyuan Inn, Heavenly Dragon City Lord Li Xuan's eyes suddenly widened, and blood gushed out of his mouth, and in front of the stone bed he was sitting on, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared, constantly devouring the divine consciousness he exuded.
"It is worthy of being a powerhouse in the Dacheng Stage!" Looking at the gently rotating spatial vortex in front of him, Li Xuan exhaled with a pale face, then raised his sleeve robe, and suddenly waved out a majestic spiritual power, after shaking the spatial vortex away, he walked out.
"Alchemist Contest ......"
Xiyue, who was standing at the window on the third floor, slowly stopped the spatial vortex rotating in front of her palm, and then said with a soft sneer.
Xiao Yi didn't know how advanced the cultivation of the small pale white vortex just now needed to condense, and he didn't know that Xiyue, who had been standing at the window, had already frightened the Tianlong City Lord back without a trace.
She just felt a pressure from nowhere, and in less than a moment, her clothes were wet with sweat. Even Tie Yi and Xu Che'er, who were standing at the door, were pale at this time.
"Girl, do you want to learn?" Xi Yueyu's hand shook slightly, and there was a handful of pale white silk condensed by spiritual power in her palm, and as her arm swayed, the silk gently levitated, shuttling back and forth in the room.
Seeing the pale white satin that seemed to have spirituality flying in front of him, Xiao Yi bit her lower lip, as if she had made a lot of determination, nodded and said, "As long as you are willing to help Sister Xu, I will learn!"
Seeing this, Xiyue was slightly stunned, then chuckled, glanced at the door with cold eyes, and shook her head helplessly: "I can't come forward in this matter, and I just said that the bell must be tied to the bell!"
At this time, Xu Che'er, who was standing outside the door, suddenly whispered to Tie Yi: "Brother Tie, I brought you here, but I failed to protect you well, and let you be wronged. Trouble Big Brother Tie to tell him, tomorrow Che'er will give you a satisfactory explanation, farewell!"
With that, she turned away. But Tie Yi couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and by the time he reacted, Xu Che'er had disappeared from sight.
"Confession, I'm afraid this confession is not that simple!" Xiyue retracted her gaze, but sighed lightly.
This sentence made Xiao Yi's face flash a trace of unbearability, but she didn't say anything at this time, so she had to sit back to Tie Yi silently.
Seeing this, Xiyue had to mention what happened just now, sat down with a chuckle, looked at Xiao Yi opposite, and said, "Don't you really want to learn the way of cultivating the truth?"
But Xiaoyi lowered her head and didn't say a word, and it took a long time to muster up the courage to say: "After I learn, can I protect the people I want to protect?"
Xiyue glanced at Tie Yi, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
These two words suddenly made Xiao Yi make up her mind, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Seeing this, Xiyue smiled and said some comforting words, but sighed in her heart: "Little thief, I'm here for you this time!"
When he said these words in his heart, even Xiyue herself didn't notice that her tone became mournful.
They didn't talk about the apprenticeship here, Xu Che'er ran all the way, and after returning to the Xu Mansion, she locked herself in the house, and suppressed cries kept coming out of the room.
Maybe she felt aggrieved in her heart, or maybe the courage that had been pressed on her shoulders over the years was too heavy, so she suddenly collapsed at this time. Xu Dong Station was outside, pacing anxiously, not knowing what to do.
Located in the north of Tianlong City, there is a splendid courtyard, which is Li Xuan's mansion and the core of this city. In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Tianwei Zhang Lai sat there with a gloomy face, his fingers pinching his beard, and his expression was faintly uneasy.
After a while, as if he was a little unwilling, he grabbed the twelve small golden turtles on the coffee table, shook his hand slightly, and sprinkled them on the table again.
Looking at the twelve golden turtles again, there are actually two of them leaning together and standing upright on the table. Seeing this, Elder Tianwei's brows furrowed more and more, and even the palm of his hand trembled unconsciously.
"Alas...... After all, it is impossible to escape this catastrophe!" After a while, he suddenly sighed, Elder Tianwei put those small golden turtles into the ring, looked up at the blue sky outside the living room, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe you really shouldn't be here this time!"
Elder Tianwei, who was proficient in divination, suddenly felt restless in his heart just now, so he calculated a hexagram for himself, but after several times, the hexagram showed a great omen.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and immediately after, Li Xuan, the lord of Tianlong City, walked in from outside the welcome hall. Finding that his face was pale, Elder Tianwei knew that the matter had not been done, and the omen in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"The subordinates are incompetent, they detect it!" Li Xuan didn't wait for him to ask, and then told the whole story. In fact, in this Tianlong City, inns of all sizes are the eyes of the City Lord's Mansion, and all kinds of information are constantly gathered here every day.
As early as when Zhang Hao first came to this city, someone sent his information into the City Lord's Mansion, but Zhang Hao had a mask on his face, and those who collected information did not know his identity, but only knew that there were two suspicious people whose cultivation was not weak, and they stayed in the Fuyuan Inn.
Due to the recent holding of the Refiner Contest in Tianlong City, there are countless people of all kinds, if it weren't for Zhang Hao's previous big trouble in front of the Xu Mansion, I'm afraid it wouldn't have attracted Li Xuan's attention.
Later, after they returned to the Fuyuan Inn, Elder Tianwei came to instruct Li Xuan to find out the identities of Zhang Hao and Xiyue.
Knowing that the other party actually had a strong man in the Dacheng period, Li Xuan, as the city lord, did not dare to slack off, and went to the Fuyuan Inn to investigate in person, but in the end he was discovered by Xiyue, and even caused him to suffer some injuries.
"I'm afraid there will be some trouble in this refiner competition, has the news been sent?" Elder Tianwei sat there, silent for a while, and suddenly asked.
Li Xuan's expression also became a little solemn, and he nodded and said, "Don't worry, in order to ensure that the news can be delivered to the pavilion master, I will send a total of three waves of people, even if they can stop one of them, the news will be sent to Tianfeng!"
After hearing this, Elder Tianwei slowly closed his eyes, nodded imperceptibly, and stopped talking, as if he was a little tired.
"Or ...... How about the postponement of this refiner competition?" Seeing this, Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, frowning and putting forward the thoughts in his heart.
However, Elder Tianwei suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of pride on his face: "Postponement? Who have I been afraid of when I took over the Heavenly Pavilion for hundreds of years? How could I be scared away by two unknown people? The old man wants to see what waves they can make!"
Making this decision, Elder Tianwei's self-confidence seemed to return to his body, and then a vast aura slowly enveloped the City Lord's Mansion......
