Donglaizhou Fish Courtyard, Daozheng Pavilion.

On a cliff, a man stands quietly in the wind, looking into the distance, with an elegant temperament and polite quality, just like a Confucian student, although his appearance is not as amazing as Cao Xiaoning, but he can also be called handsome and extraordinary.

From time to time, he looked back at the cliff behind him, there was a cave there, but the entrance of the cave was isolated by the stone of the next world, obviously he couldn't see anything, but whenever his eyes fell on it, he would smile slightly, as if he saw something beautiful.

His name is Dong Chengyan, and he ranks fourth on the scale list, and the person who retreats in the cave mansion is Yin Ya, who is the first person on the scale list.

Dong Chengyan was also in retreat in his cave mansion before, but Yin Ya came out of the customs a few days ago, so he came here every day to wait, hoping to be the first to see Yin Ya come out.

Not only Yuyuan, but even the entire Anhai City knows that Dong Chengyan likes Yin Ya.

The Dong family and the Yin family are both big families in Anhai City, especially the Yin family, whose ancestors have been ascended. Dong Chengyan fell in love at first sight when he saw Yin Ya when he was a child, and then Yin Ya entered the Fish Courtyard, he also entered the Fish Courtyard, Yin Ya entered the Daozheng Pavilion, and he also entered the Daozheng Pavilion.

Yin Ya was in retreat for the Dragon Clan's martial arts performance some time ago, and Dong Chengyan felt that the fish courtyard without Yin Ya was boring, so he also went to retreat.

For a few days after he came out of the customs, he didn't wait for Yin Ya, and at this moment, the stone of the cave slowly rose, and a woman walked out slowly, her appearance was beautiful, as if a fairy was in the dust, and there was a coldness between her eyebrows, giving people the feeling that they could not be approached but could only be watched from afar.

It is Yin Ya, who is the first on the scale list.

"You're finally out of the country. ”

Dong Chengyan smiled kindly.

Yin Ya glanced at him, there was no surprise or curiosity in his eyes, but no emotion. He approached Dong Chengyan, and then crossed over to him, standing in front of the cliff, looking at the sea of clouds, as if Dong Chengyan did not exist.

Dong Chengyan walked towards Yin Ya, Yin Ya turned his head and looked at Dong Chengyan's feet, his eyes were nailed there like an arrow, signaling Dong Chengyan to stop.

Dong Chengyan shrugged his shoulders and stood obediently in place.

He's used to it.

Dong Chengyan is handsome, personable, and has a good family background, I don't know how many ladies in Anhai City admire him, but he never looks at them squarely, just like Yin Ya never looks at him squarely.

To be precise, Yin Ya, who is dedicated to cultivation, has never looked at any man of the same age.

Yin Ya admired Yun Shu Yunjuan and completely left Dong Chengyan behind, while Dong Chengyan said: "In another month, it will be the day of martial arts with the Dragon Clan, Ao Tian was defeated by you last year, and he will definitely find a way to take revenge this year, how are you prepared, do you have confidence?"

Yin Ya didn't look back, and said indifferently: "What do you think?"

Her voice was beautiful, but it seemed to come from a snowy field, exuding a coldness that would repel people thousands of miles away.

"I defeated him again. ”

Dong Chengyan smiled, asked and answered himself, and then continued to find words: "You just came out, there is something you must not know, during our retreat, there was a great character in the academy. ”

Yin Ya didn't speak, just quietly looked at the sea of clouds.

"This person walked one hundred and eighty steps from the Floating and Sinking Bridge, but chose to enter the Blue Jade Pavilion. ”

Dong Chengyan said to himself: "The dean ranked him tenth on the list of scales, so he squeezed out Qiu Defeat, so he fought with Qiu Defeat, guess what the result was?"

Yin Ya seemed to be a little interested, looked back at Dong Chengyan, and waited for him to continue.

Dong Chengyan saw that Yin Ya was attracted, and his eyebrows suddenly became happy, he knew that Yin Ya had a cold temperament and didn't like to talk to people, so as soon as he got out of the customs, he went to inquire about the recent interesting things, and listened to Yin Ya, just hoping to stay with her for a while, even if it was just a long distance, even if he unilaterally talked to her.

Dong Chengyan said: "This person only has the early stage of foundation building, Qiu defeated the enemy in the early stage of foundation building, but he was not an opponent at all, and then Qiu defeated regardless of face and dealt with the middle stage of foundation building, but he was still defeated by the other party's sword. ”

Yin Yaxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, if what Dong Chengyan said was true, this person was indeed very unusual.

Dong Chengyan continued: "This person's name is Cao Xiaoning, I heard that he has a handsome appearance, like a fairy in the dust, in short, he is rumored to be divine. A few days ago, Lin Jin was on the way to a mission, met the Phantom Clan, was injured and returned, originally this task was to wait for you to go out of the customs to complete, but later because of the impeachment of the Blue Jade Pavilion by the masters, it finally fell on Cao Xiaoning's head, as long as he completes it, Master Yan can keep the position of the master. ”

Yin Ya hummed softly, without showing too much surprise or other emotions, in her opinion, this person named Cao Xiaoning is indeed very unusual, but what does it have to do with her.

Dong Chengyan said: "This person is so extraordinary, I really want to make friends with him, and now many people in the academy think that he can't complete this task, but I think he should be able to." What about you, do you think he can finish it?"

"Is there anything else you can do?"

Yin Ya said indifferently.

"Okay, then I'll go first. ”

A trace of loss flashed in Dong Chengyan's eyes, he knew that Yin Ya was annoying him, he sighed lightly and turned to leave, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back.

Yin Ya still looked at the sea of clouds quietly, not even noticing that he looked back, or didn't want to pay attention.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly and walked away.

......

Daozheng Pavilion, another cave house.

The bearded Qiu sat on a stone chair, with a jar of wine and a wine bottle on the table, and he kept pouring and drinking it again and again, as if he wanted to drink all the sorrow in his heart.

After losing to Cao Xiaoning that time and losing the face of himself and Qiu Liqun, he was punished for thinking behind closed doors for a month, during which he borrowed alcohol every day to kill his sorrows, and he was depressed.

Losing to Cao Xiaoning, although it was the only failure in his life, he was not a person who couldn't get up after losing once, and the reason why he was slumped was because he couldn't see the slightest possibility of catching up with Cao Xiaoning.

Cao Xiaoning's realm is lower than him, and he has already left him far behind, so what about after that?

Every time I think about it, there is nothing but despair.

Just as he was pouring his wine again, a cold drink came.

"I told you to think about it behind closed doors, did I just let you drink to kill your sorrows?"

Qiu Liqun stepped into the cave with his hands in his hands, looked at Qiu Yu with a torch, and said solemnly: "Look at what you look like now?"

"Teacher ......"

Qiu Wei put down the wine bottle, stood up solemnly, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Qiu Liqun.

"Lift your head up. Qiu Liqun said coldly.

Qiu Cheng slowly raised his head and looked at Qiu Liqun, his eyes still a little evasive.

Qiu Liqun saw Qiu Cheng so down, ashamed and afraid, and he was a little unbearable.

He was certainly thunderous and angry that day, but after a month, his anger had been extinguished, not to mention that Qiu Defeat was his proud student after all, and he would not let him fall.

So he took a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "I, Qiu Liqun's student, shouldn't fall because of a failure, do you understand?"

"The student understands, but ......" Qiu was defeated and stopped.

"Nothing. Qiu Liqun said: "Cheer up, a month later, with the Dragon Clan, this group will depend on you in the middle stage of foundation building." The matter of Douyutai, you just learn a lesson, don't keep immersing yourself in it and can't get out. Cao Xiaoning will definitely return home on this mission, and when the time comes, the Blue Jade Pavilion will change hands, and you and I will get back our face. ”

Qiu Yu said: "Then what if he ......"

Qiu Liqun sneered: "I don't believe that Lin Jin can't complete the task, he can complete it." Whether he will be able to come back or not is unknown. ”

But at this moment, the steward of the Daozheng Pavilion came to report: "Pavilion Master, Cao Xiaoning is back. ”

"Oh, are you back?" Qiu Liqun asked with a smile, "Is the injury serious?"

"He was unharmed...... "said the steward.

Qiu Liqun stroked his beard and smiled: "Then it seems that there is no trace of the other party." ”

"Back to the pavilion master, Cao Xiaoning ......" the steward said: "The task is completed." ”

Qiu Liqun's smile froze, and he was stunned on the spot.

......

......

Not only Qiu Liqun, but most of the people in the academy also felt that Cao Xiaoning could not complete this task.

After all, although Cao Xiaoning is very strong in everyone's minds, he is not as strong as Lin Jin, and even Lin Jin can't do it, how can Cao Xiaoning do it?

Therefore, when Cao Xiaoning returned to the hospital and the news of the completion of the task spread, everyone's first reaction was not to believe it.

Some people think it's a rumor, and some people think that Cao Xiaoning is cheating, it must be to keep Yan Qing's position, so he casually took a human head to pretend to be a phantom clan and deceive everyone.

They didn't mean to discredit Cao Xiaoning, but the news was so incredible that they could only think in this direction.

It wasn't until the Mission Hall issued an announcement confirming that Cao Xiaoning had not only killed a ghost, but also a shadow, and brought back the Phantom Clan's Supreme Treasure Mist Shadow Ding, everyone was silent.

Even Lin Jin was frightened, he was seriously injured when he dealt with a charm, he never thought that there was a shadow hidden behind the charm, and there was such a heavy treasure as the Fog Shadow Ding, if it weren't for the two black robes brought back by Cao Xiaoning, they were indeed owned by the Phantom clan, and Lin Jin didn't believe that this was something that could be done in the early stage of foundation building.

But that's the case, and that's not all.

In addition to the two phantom clans, Cao Xiaoning also killed two deputy commanders of Jingtianwei who wanted to do misdeeds, that is to say, Cao Xiaoning's line killed two late stage of foundation building, as well as two middle stage of foundation building, which can be described as sensational.

He's just in the early stages of foundation-building!

And just when the whole courtyard was talking about Cao Xiaoning, Cao Xiaoning had already returned to the Blue Jade Pavilion and was eating the celebration banquet prepared for him by Yan Qing and the others.

A steaming hot pot, the four of them raised their glasses and touched each other, splashing several crystalline liquors. Cao Xiaoning completed the task, Qiu Liqun's plot disappeared, and in the future, Lan Yuting will still be surnamed Yan, and the four of them will still play as much as they want, and eat as much as they want.

After Yan Qingman drank, he pointed at Fan Xiaoyong and Xu Sansi, and said with a smile: "You are finally back, don't you know, these two guys worry about you every day, they can't sleep well in the afternoon, and they can't eat well." ”

Fan Xiaoyong said: "Teacher, obviously you are the one who is most worried, you are so anxious these days that you don't even go to Hidden Immortal Island." ”

He pushed Xu Sansi, who was suffering hard, and said, "Right?"

Xu Sansi stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth, nodded seriously, and said, "Not only that, the dishes are either salty, or they are light, and they are not as delicious as before." ”

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Yan Qing slapped Xu Sansi on the head.

Cao Xiaoning looked at Yan Qing and asked with a smile: "I don't even go to Zangxian Island, it seems that I am really in a hurry, I haven't seen my master for a few days, can I bear it?"

Fan Xiaoyong said: "I can't bear it, after all, even if I go, I can only drink a glass of wine, and I can't eat it." ”

Yan Qing also slapped Fan Xiaoyong on the head and said, "What nonsense are you telling the truth?"

Fan Xiaoyong touched his head, looking innocent, and then Yan Qing asked Cao Xiaoning: "The Phantom Clan can fight in the shadows, let alone more than one." Tell me, how did you do that?"

So Cao Xiaoning told the three of them all about what happened, but he hid the hole cards such as the mayfly sword, and when he encountered something that couldn't be explained, he covered it with words like 'mainly because I'm too strong' and 'I'm too powerful'.

After listening, Yan Qing sighed with emotion: "That Li Yong and Liu Wei met you, and they were also fated!"

Fan Xiaoyong said: "Hey, I knew it was so fun, so I went with Brother Ning!"

"You're glad you didn't go!"

Cao Xiaoning said: "If I take you there, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, right?"

Fan Xiaoyong pursed his lips with an unconvinced look, and then Cao Xiaoning continued: "Okay, it's time to get down to business." In fact, after killing Li Yong, I also met a group of people. ”

Yan Qingdao: "Who?"

Cao Xiaoning said: "It's two Yan Luo, one of them is Jin Dan, I am not her opponent, I was taken back to their hiding place after being knocked unconscious." They wanted to kill me, so I said I could help them save their people, and in exchange they let me go. ”

The fact that he was almost used by Yan Luo for breeding was like a nightmare for Cao Xiaoning, and it was too embarrassing, he would definitely not mention it.

But seeing Fan Xiaoyong, he was puzzled: "No, they want to kill you, why don't you kill you on the spot, but take them back to the hiding place and kill them again?" I think they should have another purpose in taking you back." Brother Ning, you have something to hide from us, right?"

Xu Sansi and Yan Qing also looked at Cao Xiaoning suspiciously.

Cao Xiaoning looked at Fan Xiaoyong in astonishment, thinking to himself if he hadn't seen him for a few days, how could he become smarter?

You weren't like that before.

"Of course I didn't. He could only say: "The Yan Luo clan is acting strangely, and I don't know why they do this." ”

The three of them were still skeptical, and then Cao Xiaoning continued: "Seriously." They didn't believe me, so they let me go after taking their poison pills, and if I didn't take their people back within ten days, I would have been ruined and would die of misery. So I must bring their people back. ”

Cao Xiaoning paused, looked at Fan Xiaoyong and said, "And this clansman is the Yan Luo who is locked up in your Fan family." If I want to live, I must return her to the Yan Luo clan. With you, this should be fine, right?"

"This matter ......"

Fan Xiaoyong was silent for a while, frowned, and said, "It's really a bit of a problem." ”
