When Xu Yan came back to his senses, Zhou Xian, who should have been considered by everyone to be the first person in this selection competition, had been brought back to No. 1 Little Lotus Peak by his master Song Yu, and then on the square, an exclamation was triggered from the dead silence of the audience.

Xu Yan felt thousands of eyes sweeping towards him, and his face was still calm. Everyone may think that they are going to lose to the other, but alas, it feels good to win. Subsequently, the linesman announced the final results of the tryouts:

Xu Yan won the first place, according to the rules of the competition, he will be rewarded with a Peiyuan Pill by the Linesman Elder in person, as for the sword technique, he is the sect master's personal disciple, and he will go to Zhao Bailian by himself.

The second place was Zhou Xian, but because he was seriously injured and unconscious, his Peiyuan Pill was taken away by Song Yu.

Chen Qinghe, third place.

The three of them all got the opportunity to practice on the Seven Star Pier for a month, but there was no doubt that this matter would have to wait until after the spring hunt, after all, there were less than ten days left, and the spring hunt of the hundred mountains would begin.

Xu Yan stepped forward to receive this pill that was crowned as the Realm Breaking Divine Pill, and did not open it directly, it was well sealed in a small porcelain bottle, and when the Linesman Elder handed it to him personally, his cold face was finally relieved, and then he gave him an extremely rare words of encouragement.

Xu Yan accepted this humbly, but only said yes.

After that, it was the disciples who had crossed paths with him who came forward to congratulate him, including the Chen brothers of the Xia Zi faction, Qiu Yuanjin and Xu Hui of the Dong Zi faction, and Bai Bing and others from the Qiu Zi faction, and the most surprising thing for Xu Yan was that there was also someone from the Chunzi faction, who was Gu Xueqing who had lost to him in the fourth round of the competition.

Xu Yan replied to this one by one, but his eyes kept checking around the square, as if he was looking for someone, until he saw the back of the incense hall at the corner of the main hall of incense, and saw the back that was quietly leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Xu Yan didn't know that he cared so much about whether the Cardinal came to watch his match, but in the end he won, and she came, even if the other party just stood in a far corner, farther than everyone else, and watched it all calmly? But it still made Xu Yan feel that this was the best reward for him after winning the first place for so long.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Yan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and even Bai Bing asked him before parting, "How did you decide on that matter?" Xu Yan also directly agreed to the other party's request.

Bai Bing looked at Xu Yan's somewhat fluttering back, but his handsome face suddenly had a hint of indescribable cunning.

Xu Yan didn't know that the figure he saw before was actually seen by this young brother named Bai Bing.

About half an hour later......

There was a Xinluan flapping its wings and flying away from the small lotus peak, and Bai Bing stood in front of the bamboo building where he lived alone and watched it go away, a little proud, and a little sinister laughter.

Another half hour later......

On the side of a lotus pond in Baihe Sword Village, Bai Haijing, who was the owner of a village but had a bad temper, suddenly waved his sleeves, causing a loud bang in the entire lotus pond.

The water splashed everywhere, and there were countless residual loads in the pool.

When the sound died down and the water surface calmed down, you could vaguely see a snow-white corpse with a belly flip floating out of the pool in the pool.

Bai Haijing blasted out with a sword, and she still felt that the evil spirit in her heart had not disappeared, so she wanted to make another sword, but fortunately, she was stopped by her daughter in the next moment.

"Mother, if you use this sword again, this pond full of koi, but all of them will have to die, you are angry, what do these carp have to do with this matter, and what Bing'er said in the letter is just his speculation, whether it is true or not, he can't be sure?"

Bai Haijing's face was cold, and he shouted angrily: "That Xu Yan is simply a toad who wants to eat swan meat, no, this matter must be caused by that old thing, deliberately trying to match them, I will never allow this to happen." wants to use this kind of indiscriminate means to keep people, this old thing is not ashamed, but he can't help but look down on me too much Bai Haijing, I'll go to that old thing to ask for someone now. ”

When the woman with a graceful face saw her, she went to the sky and left, and immediately dissuaded: "Mother, what are you doing, not to mention that you are so reckless, will he agree, or what will she think? Have you forgotten that if she was willing to go with you, she agreed a few years ago, so why wait until now?"

Bai Haijing was full of sword intent, and said coldly: "Before it was, now it is now, how can her situation be compared with before? No matter what she thinks, I must bring her back to Jianzhuang this time, I should have expected that since that old thing started three years ago, letting her protect the descendants surnamed Xu is simply a plot against her, this is to make them fall in love for a long time." ”

How could the woman not understand her mother's character, and when she saw her depicting her darker and darker, she immediately couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to continue to persuade her: "Mother, how old were they three years ago, fourteen or fifteen years old......?

"Stop!" Bai Haijing interrupted her with a sudden order, and then she said angrily: "What kind of person that old thing is, I know better than you, I don't need you to remind me, what, are you going to turn your elbow out?"

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she smiled bitterly, she knew that since she chose to follow her mother away, she would not be able to return to his side, otherwise, how could she follow her mother's surname Bai?

Not only that, even her children are still surnamed Bai.

The woman surnamed Bai felt that the other party had made up her mind, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart, she had no motivation to continue persuading, so she could only go with the other party, because she knew that no matter what she said, it would be just in vain, but when she thought that if the other party rushed directly into the Lotus Sect like this, most of them would be deflated, and she couldn't bear it.

The woman surnamed Bai took a deep breath before she said slowly: "Since my mother has made up her mind and insists on doing so, my daughter will no longer persuade you, but can my mother listen to her daughter again before she acts?"

Bai Haijing said coldly: "What else do you want to say?"

The woman surnamed Bai replied, "I know that my mother can't wait for this matter, but even so, why don't you wait until ten days later?"

Seeing her impatientness, the woman surnamed Bai continued: "Isn't it the Hundred Mountains Spring Hunt in ten days? If my daughter remembers correctly, isn't the venue for this meeting in the Lotus Sect?"

......

When Xu Yan returned to the Liuyun Courtyard, there were two people sitting on the round stone table in the courtyard.

One is naturally the Cardinal who came back early after he won the competition, and the other is Zhao Bailian in a green shirt.

Seeing Xu Yan coming back, Zhao Bailian stood up and said to him, "After dinner, come to Ruoshui Courtyard and pass on your sword skills to the teacher." ”

Without waiting for Xu Yan to say anything, Zhao Bailian turned around and walked out of the door of the small courtyard.

Xu Yan didn't understand the other party's intention to rush by, so he had to look at the cardinal who was sitting quietly on the stone bench holding the drum, but unexpectedly saw that the latter's face was pale, as if he had just experienced something bad that made her feel bad.

Xu Yan was a little speechless, but in the end he didn't ask the cardinal.

Time passed quickly, and the smell of food came from the kitchen, Xu Yan sat in the living room by himself, holding the porcelain bottle won from the selection competition in his hand, however, when he saw the pill he had already seen in the porcelain bottle, and felt the familiar medicinal fragrance from it, he had no desire to take it, on the contrary, this thing named Pei Yuan Dan brought a heavy feeling to his heart.

Xu Yan looked out of the house, through the patio and peach trees, and at the kitchen, obviously he didn't see anything, but it still made him sigh with complicated eyes.

Then he heard a familiar voice in the kitchen calling him to eat.

Xu Yan put away the small porcelain vase and sealed it to prevent the loss of medicinal properties, then put it in the wooden box used for his collection, and then got up and went to the kitchen to eat.

In the process of eating, Cardinal was still in a bad mood, Xu Yan saw this, so he had to talk nonsense, trying to divert her attention, but unfortunately the result was very little, Cardinal didn't pay attention to him at all, making him look like a fool who entertained himself. Eventually, he could only watch the cardinal, who had never said a word, return to the attic after finishing his meal.

Xu Yan shook his head helplessly, and continued to clean those pots and pans, and by the time he was done, the time was almost three o'clock.

Xu Yan carried Fuyao on his back, did not hesitate, left the small courtyard, and went straight to the Ruoshui Courtyard where Zhao Bailian lived.

Through the carved window of the wooden pavilion, watching the figure downstairs gradually disappear into the darkness, the cardinal only sighed slightly, and said to himself: "That's all I can do for you." ”
