The hall was quiet for a while with only the sound of shallow breathing.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the masked young man in white. Ning Shuyan looked at Su Yi's side face, and her heartbeat skipped half a beat.
Ever since Su Yi left Qingyang Mountain, Ning Shuyan had been asking around about the Ice Spirit Root cultivators there.
She heard that a monk with middle-grade ice spirit roots came to Guanyun City. She didn't pay attention at first. Until the Sword Burial Mound was opened a few days ago, the ice spirit root monk actually walked to the seventh level and obtained the inheritance of the Sword Immortal. , entering the Sword Sect realm in one fell swoop.
She had only seen one such talented Ice Spirit Root monk in her life, and that was Su Yi.
After seeing him today, Ning Shuyan was sure that the masked young master in front of her, named Xiang Junyi, was the person she was looking for.
A flash of tears flashed in Ning Shuyan's eyes. She didn't believe that the young man who went up to the cliff with her to sue the Ying Yun family said, "One day, all monsters will no longer suffer from demonization. "Humans and monsters can definitely live in peace." The boy was as miserable as they said.
She still remembered that the boy's whole body seemed to be covered with jade, exuding a soft and tough light, and he was not inferior to many seniors, shining brightly.
Such a wise, gentle and innocent person would never do anything to harm a monster!
Before she could speak, Su Yi took the first step and said, "I'm going to Jun Yi."
Hua Ruxue noticed Ning Shuyan's subtle changes and hurriedly stood between her and Su Yi, fearing that Su Yi's identity would be exposed as soon as she opened her mouth. Z.br>
Hua Ruxue bent her eyes towards Ning Shuyan and said, "Xiang Junxue."
Ning Shuyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted her emotions, suppressing the joy of meeting her old friend, she introduced them to the two of them: "Dongyang Ning family, Ning Shuyan."
When the eldest young master of the Tian family heard the name Ning Shuyan, his eyes became even more disgusted.
Ning Shuyan has high-grade water spirit roots and formed elixirs at the age of nineteen. Now she is a direct disciple of the Ning family in Dongyang, and a direct disciple of the head of the family, Ning Chufeng. Being an enemy of her is an enemy of the entire Ning family of Dongyang.
"Even if you are from the Dongyang Ning clan, you shouldn't have injured my guard. Tian will definitely come to ask for an explanation for what happened today!"
The guard who was bound by the soul-locking rope immediately fell to the ground and wailed in pain after hearing this.
Ning Shuyan couldn't hold back her anger when she saw the confusion between the master and the servant, "Since you said I hurt him, if I don't prove it, wouldn't I be sorry to Master Tian?"
After saying that, Ning Shuyan was about to draw her sword and chop down the guard who was pretending to cry out in pain.
Hua Ruxue quickly grabbed Ning Shuyan. They were originally justified in this matter, but with this sword slash, they couldn't really explain why.
Hua Ruxue looked at Ning Shuyan's angry expression and couldn't help but think of the time when she was thinking about crossing the cliff. Ning Shuyan was also so impulsive at that time. Four years later, her temperament that does not tolerate people confusing right and wrong has really not changed at all.
Hua Ruxue thought for a while, whether the matter in front of her was a big deal or not. I had never heard of the eldest young master of the Tian family taking it out on others if he failed in the test. It must be because everyone present dared to be angry but dared not speak out, plus there was a spirit stone to seal it. , it became a trivial matter and no news was leaked.
However, since they have met this time, they cannot turn over the story so easily.
Hua Ruxue pointed at the eldest young master of the Tian family and said loudly: "That uncle complained that this first-level formation mage made him think that he had failed. He couldn't afford it at first sight! If he failed, he should honestly reflect on himself. Why did he involve irrelevant people? Sister Ning, don’t be as knowledgeable as this person!”
Then she looked at Ning Shuyan with admiration in her eyes: "Sister Ning is also a third-level formation mage. She must have come here to be recognized as a fourth-level formation mage. Sister Ning is only twenty-three years old, will she become a fourth-level formation mage? Sister Ning awesome!"
Hua Ruxue praised Ning Shuyan, and the eldest son of the Tian family was like a vicious dog whose tail had been stepped on, turning from disgust to anger.
"You little girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. There is a huge difference between a fourth-level formation mage and a third-level master. My young master has been able to draw a fourth-level formation for a long time, but he has bad luck and meets unlucky people every time. ” retorted the bound guard.
Everyone else knew in their hearts that this was an excuse, but no one dared to step forward and say "no".
"Unlucky people
? According to what you said, I met him today and couldn't pass the test? "The anger in Ning Shuyan's heart had been calmed by Hua Ruxue. She pointed her sword at the guard and said sternly.
The guard did not dare to answer and hurriedly asked his young master for help. The eldest young master of the Tian family sneered and said firmly: "If Miss Ning doesn't believe it, you might as well go and test it now so that everyone knows that I am right!"
Hua Ruxue calmly observed the reactions of the others and found that all of them frowned and looked at the first-level formation mage with pity in their eyes, as if they were certain that Ning Shuyan would fail the test.
The first-level formation mage who had always been submissive and dared not speak out raised his head and whispered: "Miss Ning, please don't go. If you fail, you will have to wait three months. In the past, it was not that no one stood up for us, but in the end, without exception, they all failed. Already."
Others whispered in agreement: "Yes, yes, everyone who follows Master Tian Da's test will fail. Sometimes more than ten people in a row will fail."
Seeing this situation, the tied guard seemed to have remembered something. He raised his head and said proudly: "Miss Ning, since my young master said that he encountered an unlucky person, it is correct. If you go to the test now, you will definitely fail!" "
Seeing that the master and servant were so sure, and some people said that anyone who followed Master Tian's test would fail, Hua Ruxue and Su Yi guessed that this was not a coincidence. There was a problem upstairs, and Master Tian was doing it somewhere. Hands and feet.
Ning Shuyan, on the other hand, thought that the master and servant were bluffing. She had long been a fourth-level array mage, and now she could draw fourth-level and fifth-level runes. Even in a mere test, she couldn't stop her.
"What if I pass?" Ning Shuyan looked at the eldest young master of the Tian family confidently.
The eldest young master of the Tian family had a cold light in his eyes, "If Miss Ning wins, I will never join the Formation Mage Guild in the future, and I will never touch the formations from now on. On the contrary..." He paused, and soon the cold light in his eyes was replaced by excitement. .
Ning Shuyan said grandly: "If I fail, I will never practice the formation again!"
People around her advised her: "Miss Ning, please don't go! With your talent, you will definitely make a difference in the future, so there is no need to stay here for us."
Hua Ruxue felt vaguely uneasy as she listened to the sounds around her. She pulled Ning Shuyan and said, "Sister Ning, let me help this person untie the rope first. With my brother here, I won't be afraid of them running away!"
Ning Shuyan nodded, then looked at Su Yi and said, "Please bear witness to the young master today!"
Su Yi cupped her fists and returned the greeting, "I wish Miss Ning success."
"I would like to lend you my good advice!"
Hua Ruxue helped the guard untie the gap in the rope, secretly observed the changes in the guard's body, and checked his pulse.
A moment later, when Hua Ruxue pretended to struggle to retract the soul locking rope, Ning Shuyan had just finished registering, and she handed the rope to Ning Shuyan with a little regret.
"Miss Ning, please." The eldest young master of the Tian family watched Ning Shuyan go upstairs with an evil smile on his lips.
Hua Ruxue caught his smile and secretly cursed the woman for being a liar!
"Why do you think Miss Ning agreed? What should we do?"
"No one has ever passed the test after the eldest son of the Tian family!"
"If we people fail, we will fail. It doesn't matter if we don't touch the formation in the future. But Miss Ning is different from us. She is the pride of heaven. She is a third-level formation master at the age of nineteen. If she can't practice such a talent in the future, The formation is really a pity.”
"I just hope God will open his eyes and let Miss Ning pass."
"The test only lasts for half an hour, and you will have the answer after half an hour."
This short half hour seems to have passed a hundred years. The longer the test takes, the less likely it is to pass. In their hearts, someone with talent, family background, and perseverance like Ning Shuyan should only take a quarter of an hour. Just pass...
There was a slight sound of footsteps upstairs, and Ning Shuyan's test was finally over!
When Hua Ruxue and Su Yi saw that Ning Shuyan came out after running out of time, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The eldest young master of the Tian family and the two guards smiled proudly, while the others had heavy hearts and were too nervous to look up.
"Oh, Miss Ning, do you understand?" The eldest young master of the Tian family raised his head and raised a smile.
With a cruel smile on his face, he looked at Ning Shuyan who was slowly going downstairs, and he was sure that she had not finished even one formation, and it took half an hour before she came out!
She must have failed!
The guard behind him echoed: "If Miss Ning is willing to kneel down and kowtow to admit her mistake, the bet just made will not count!"
"Miss Ning's talent is obvious to all. You are the future pillar. It would be a pity to give up completely after one failure."
Ning Shuyan walked up the last wooden staircase and without saying a word, she drew her sword and pointed it at the eldest young master of the Tian family. The two guards also drew their swords one after another. For a moment, the hall was tense and the war was about to break out.
The eldest young master of the Tian family stood there without any fear and said with a sneer: "Miss Ning can't take her anger out on me because of her failure. I already said it was because she met an unlucky person!"
Ning Shuyan looked serious and said, "What exactly did you do?"
The sneer on the Tian family's eldest master's face paused for a moment, and then returned to normal, "What can I do to Miss Ning? The one who clamored to jump in the queue for the test is Miss Ning herself."
After hearing what the eldest young master of the Tian family said, Ning Shuyan's eyes became a little more angry. What else did she want to ask, Hua Ruxue stepped forward and asked:
"Did Sister Ning pass the test?"
Everyone else in the hall held their breath and stared at Ning Shuyan, waiting for her answer. Maybe there was a miracle?
Ning Shuyan withdrew her sword in annoyance and put on the ring that symbolized the formation mage. The dazzling emerald green gemstone on the ring represented that its owner was a fourth-level formation mage.
"How is it possible! How could you pass!" The eldest young master of the Tian family stared at the ring on Ning Shuyan's hand, "This must be a fake! You must have deliberately taken it out to deceive everyone!"
"Uncle, is Sister Ning really lying?"
"Yes, she is lying!"
"But Sister Ning doesn't seem to be lying? If you want us to believe it, you have to provide evidence!" Hua Ruxue carefully guided the eldest son of the Tian family to tell the truth.
"It's impossible for her to pass the test! Impossible! Because..."
Seeing the truth on his lips, the guard behind him suddenly grabbed his master.
One of them said: "My young master was impulsive. Let's take him back first!"
After saying that, the three masters and servants disappeared without a trace.
