"What, following Elder Dong's order?"
When the disciples guarding the door heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. Later, they realized Ling Xiao's identity and couldn't help but be even more shocked.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Facing this powerful casual cultivator who had recently become famous, everyone did not dare to act like a disciple of the Immortal Sect. They responded politely and a disciple hurried to report the news.
The remaining people were discussing curiously, guessing Ling Xiao's purpose of coming.
"Why is this man here? Could it be that our sect intends to recruit him?"
"I guess so. But this person is in trouble now and is a hot potato. I wonder how the masters will deal with him?"
"So what if he's a hot potato? As long as he gives up the competition and joins our Chunyang Sword Sect, who is short-sighted enough to dare to cause trouble?"
"That's right. The person he asked to see just now was Elder Dong, right? I'm so envious. I can see Elder Dong later..."
Everyone was talking and envious.
With Ling Xiao's strength, joining the Chunyang Sword Sect will definitely put him in high esteem. It seems that his status in the sect will be lowered by another rank.
After a while, the disciple who reported the news hurriedly turned back, looked at Ling Xiao strangely, and said: "Elder Dong asked you to come over, and come with me!"
Ling Xiao followed him, passing through long corridors and pavilions, and finally arrived at a quiet courtyard.
The disciple looked deeply at Ling Xiao, his eyes unable to conceal a hint of jealousy, and said in a complex tone: "Elder Dong is inside, you go in."
Dong Qingran had never invited anyone in to his courtyard, so Ling Xiao's arrival was an unprecedented first!
How many lifetimes of merit has this person named Ling Xiao accumulated to be able to live in the same room as Elder Dong?
he thought jealously.
"Thank you."
Ling Xiao didn't think too much and pushed the door open and entered.
This courtyard reminded him of the scene in Chenjia Mountain. When he was struck by the scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Why are you sighing?"
She was sitting in the yard looking at him, her eyes were rather calm and lukewarm.
Ling Xiao smiled, shook off unnecessary thoughts, and said, "It's nothing."
Walking over and sitting opposite her, Ling Xiao looked around and said with a smile: "Okay, it's quite clean. How are you doing in Chunyang Sword Sect? They should take you very seriously, right?"
Dong Qingran said calmly: "It's okay."
Ling Xiaoqian smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become so humble?"
However, in just over a hundred years, she had reached the middle stage of Golden Core cultivation. With such an outstanding talent, she was naturally treated the best in the Chunyang Sword Sect.
Dong Qingran was silent for a moment and said quietly: "I thought you wouldn't come back, and you shouldn't come back."
Two days ago, when she learned that Ling Xiao was not in Huqi Mountain, she thought he was scared away by the sky-high price of the black market reward, and she was somewhat thankful that he was "aware of current affairs".
Unexpectedly, this guy came back again.
It seems that he is determined to participate in the final battle.
Thinking of this, Dong Qingran felt extremely annoyed. He became more and more displeased with Ling Xiao, and his eyes became colder.
Ling Xiao looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Are you worried about me?"
Her delicate body trembled slightly.
How many days of longing, how many days of resentment, how many days of complaints, in front of his understatement, turned out to be like a paper wall in my heart, crumbling and fragile.
She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to let him see her wet red eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You are going to die, can I stop you? I'm just afraid that in the end there will be no bones left of you, and when you return to Beiming Island in the future, even you I can't take away your ashes, so...how can I still remember you?"
Have you ever chatted like this?
Can't you say something good about me?
Ling Xiao thought angrily, but when he heard her soft and trembling voice, he couldn't help but touch his heartstrings. He was silent for a moment and said: "I... won't die."
She just sighed quietly.
Ling Xiao joked: "Are you sorry for my answer?"
Dong Qingran raised his head suddenly, with tears in his eyes, and said bitterly: "I didn't!"
Two lines of clear tears streaked down the corner of his eyes.
There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches. My heart is happy for you, but you don’t know it.
After many lovesicknesses, I shed tears for my daughter.
She hated the man in front of her, hated that he still had the leisure to joke around, and hated that he didn't know when he would be able to understand her thoughts at the moment.
She gritted her teeth and slammed a bag.
"I owe you this, take it and get out!"
Ling Xiao hurriedly took it, and when his consciousness swept away, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In the bag, there was a magic weapon and two bottles of pills.
Ling Xiao recognized that magical weapon. It was the bronze mirror magical weapon that Dong Qingran used to chase him. It was very powerful.
As for what was in the bottle, Ling Xiao didn't know and was too embarrassed to take it out for inspection now.
Dingding looked at Dong Qingran's sad and moving face, and the feeling of being blocked in his heart appeared again.
Ling Xiao grabbed the bag and didn't get up for a long time.
The two just stared at each other in silence.
It seems like a long time passed.
Ling Xiao hesitated and spoke.
"I... promised the Night Watchmen to guard the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Demons for thirty years."
"And I have already received their salary, which is a full 1.5 million, so... I can't die, I have to fulfill the contract, right?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more impatient, Ling Xiao quickly said: "So I will definitely not die. Once there is danger, I will surrender."
Dong Qingran said coldly: "What do these things you said have to do with me?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao grinned, coughed slightly, and said: "I just thought, if I really die, the money from the night watchman will be in vain, uh... can you help me pay it back then? ?You know, I am very contractual..."
He spread his hands.
Choking!
Dong Qingran struck directly with his sword.
"Pretend I didn't say goodbye!"
Ling Xiao was so frightened that he peed his pants and hated his parents for losing two legs.
After escaping to the door, he turned around and saw Dong Qingran still standing there, looking at him indifferently.
It was as if I had returned to that night in Linfeng City.
That day, two people who were originally unrelated met.
Ling Xiao suddenly smiled.
"Don't be so sad. I'm leaving. I won't die. We have to go back to Beiming Island together. If I leave in a hurry and don't have time to say goodbye to you, thirty years later, I will go to Chunyang Sword Sect. Looking for you."
He waved his hand in a pretentious manner and left.
Straight out of the Chunyang Sword Sect's house, Ling Xiao breathed in the fresh air, said goodbye to the tears that lingered in her mind, and her eyes became deep and peaceful again.
"Those stinky fish and shrimps can't kill us, can they, guys?"
He whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
The final battle.
Everyone started the final bloody battle on Chengyun Island, which was shrouded in restrictions.
There is no audience.
There is no referee.
No one knows how the contestants will defeat their opponents.
Whatever it takes, no matter what!
Only the final victory is beyond doubt!
“What a great format!”
He opened his arms, embracing the seemingly unknown but already determined outcome of the competition.
People on the street looked at him in horror and retreated to avoid him.
"what happened?"
"Is epilepsy crazy?"
"Stay away from him, he might be infected!"
