The Scorpio Palace is an arc-shaped palace supported by six large stone pillars the size of water tanks, two of which are at the very edge, two of which stand side by side near the gate. At the top of the center of the palace is a huge scorpion carved with its head facing north and tail facing south.

Outside the palace is a hundred zhang wide stone lawn, the ground is all paved with granite, at this time the sun is empty, under the hot sun more than a hundred guests in groups of three or five, it seems particularly noisy.

Xie Ling's arrival attracted the attention of some people, but after seeing the early foundation building monk he didn't know, he lost interest, withdrew his gaze and continued to talk to others.

Xie Ling glanced at it and found that most of the monks in the square were cultivating in the foundation building period, and some had even reached the realm of the late foundation building stage. They were dressed in different attires and were obviously from different places.

"Xia Daoyou, please wait here for a while, there will be a moment before the table starts, and someone will come to pick you and the other guests to go, so I will leave first." "Qin Sidao.

Xie Ling nodded, his mind was in the Ancestral Soul Hall on the other side of the Scorpion Palace.

"Oh, by the way, the Ancestral Soul Hall over there is a forbidden area for this sect, and if you are not a disciple of this sect, there will be unforeseen dangers if you step on the golden line, don't forget it!" Qin Si walked not far away, and suddenly turned around and said.

"Hmm 61616161" Xie Ling saw that there was indeed a golden thread the thickness of a finger between the Scorpion Palace and the Ancestral Soul Palace.

After a while, suddenly someone called him from behind, Xie Ling turned around and saw that it was Ye Shengying, and said with a smile: "Why are you alone, Lu Xiaojia?"

"She's surrounded by a group of young talents, and she can't get out. Ye Shengying changed into a moon white robe and walked over with a smile.

Xie Ling also felt funny when he thought of Lu Xiaojia when he was surrounded and impatient. And at this moment, Lu Xiaojia's breathless voice came from a distance.

"Senior brother 6161616161" Lu Xiaojia saw Xie Ling, and was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Xia, you are also here!"

Xie Ling nodded with a smile, he quite liked Lu Xiaojia's innocent and straightforward temperament.

"Senior brother, why are you running so fast?" Lu Xiaojia turned back to Ye Shengying.

"I'm afraid of disturbing your talk!" Ye Shengying said.

"They're so annoyed that they just pester me and ask me things that don't matter. Lu Xiaojia said angrily.

"Oh, but the Lake Lord wants you to choose one of them as your future double cultivation partner, has the senior sister picked it?"

"I don't want a dual-cultivation partner, I just like to be with my senior brother. ”

Xie Lingqiang couldn't hold back his laughter, but Ye Shengying was so embarrassed that he hurriedly said: "What nonsense, let the lake master know, I have a few lives to live." ”

At this moment, a few people came from a distance, and when they saw Lu Xiaojia, their faces showed joy, and one of them, a handsome young man in yellow walked over to her briskly and said with a smile: "I was worried that my junior sister was not familiar with the road, but I didn't expect to arrive one step ahead of us!"

"Senior brother 61616161" Lu Xiaojia turned around to call senior brother when she saw it, but found that Ye Shengying had been hiding far away at some point, and when she saw the yellow-clothed young man opposite, she grabbed Xie Ling's hand and said, "Brother Xia, aren't you going to take me around?"

Xie Ling didn't expect that she would use herself as a shield and wanted to leave, but the young man in yellow had already arrived in front of her.

"In the Lower Yin Snake Sect Xin Yulang, I don't know what to call you?" he saw Lu Xiaojia next to Xie Ling, and said with a smile on his face.

"Xia Qing!" Xie Ling said.

"It turned out to be Xia Daoyou! Xia Daoyou is from other places, right? I don't know if it's from that sect, the master is there, and the ancestors of the family may know each other!" Xin Yulang smiled again, looking very confident, as the head of the top ten newcomers of the Yin Snake Sect and the great-grandson of the sect's elder Xin Shisan, he has the ability to be proud.

Lu Xiaojia saw that as soon as he came up, he was very rude to interrogate Xie Ling's origin, his face became ugly, and he was about to speak. Xie Ling pulled her and said, "I'll come alone." Then he turned to Lu Xiaojia and said, "Didn't you want me to take you around?"

"Uh-huh 61616161"

Xie Ling smiled at Xin Yulang, and then walked towards the other side with Lu Xiaojia.

Xin Yulang froze when he saw the smile on his face, and his eyes became gloomy and terrifying as he looked at the two people who were heading in the direction of the ancestral temple on the left.

"Brother Yulang, why did you let Senior Sister Lu leave with the others like this, I knew that I wouldn't have let you just now. ”

Xin Yulang turned around and saw the young man who was talking, and said with a smile on his cold face: "People are in front, you have few skills to go up and try it! Don't just talk about not practicing, you don't have to make people laugh!"

The rest of the people who followed also laughed, and they all looked at the young man who called himself Ma Mingjue.

Ma Mingjue snorted coldly, he was burly, and he had always looked down on Xin Yulang, who had the title of 'Powder-faced Langjun', and immediately walked past him, and said to Xie Ling: "This fellow Daoist, please stay!"

Xie Ling stopped, when he encountered this kind of thing, he could only 'secretly scold' Ye Shengying for not being authentic, and actually left his junior sister and fled regardless of the battle.

"This fellow Daoist, is there anything wrong?"

"In the Lower Stone Spear Sect Ma Mingjue, Xia Daoyou is from other places, so he shouldn't be familiar with this place, why don't you let me accompany Senior Sister Lu around for Daoyou?"

"Brother Xia, I'm tired, let's go sit there!" Lu Xiaojia pointed to a stone chair opposite.

"It seems that there is no need to bother Daoyou!" Xie Ling smiled and arched his hand at Ma Mingjue, and then walked towards the place where the stone chair was.

Ma Mingjue was stunned there, Xin Yulang and the others laughed when they saw it, and their faces turned red when they heard it in their ears.

At this moment, several disciples of the Absolute Poison Sect came out from the Scorpion Palace, saying that the luncheon had begun, and invited all the guests to come in for a meal.

In fact, cultivators have very little demand for food, the reason why they gather in the Scorpio Palace is to meet more fellow practitioners, and secondly, there are often small trade fairs held on such occasions, such as the birthday of the Sect Master of the Absolute Poison Sect, during such an important day, almost all important people in the large and small sects in Southern Xinjiang will appear, which means that they can exchange items that are usually unimaginable here.

"Senior sister, the Lake Lord is looking for you!" Ye Shengying came over from the opposite side and summoned.

"Well, I know!" Lu Xiaojia stood up and said to Xie Ling: "Brother Xia, I'll take you to see the Lake Lord, he will definitely like it when he sees you." ”

"Go ahead, I'm not going. Xie Ling saw a pair of jealous eyes on the opposite side and smiled.

"Alright then, I'll go over and I'll come back to you later. Although Lu Xiaojia was innocent, she was not stupid, she walked towards Ye Shengying, turned around and grimaced at him, and then happily took Ye Shengying's hand and went towards the Scorpio Palace.

Those people glanced at Xie Ling, who was left behind, and followed them into the interior with a look of disdain.

When Xie Ling saw them enter the Scorpion Palace, he turned his gaze to the golden thread not far away, and on the other side of the golden thread was the Ancestral Soul Palace!
