Fan He coughed a few times and interrupted everyone's wailing at the right time. "In the past few days, the Yunsongzhu needed in each peak have been insufficient. Master Yunyang specially ordered me and Coach Wu to lead us to Zhishoutang and The brothers and sisters from Zunyi Hall will go to the Yunsong Valley at the foot of Shaoyang Mountain to cut down some Yunsong pine trees."
A tall and lanky young man standing in front frowned and said, "Uncle Coach, you know that we teenagers, who have only been around for more than three months, are not very capable of completing this task."
This tall and lanky young man is named Zhao Yi, and he can be regarded as a disciple of a small family in the Jungle Mountains. After entering Zhishou Hall, Fan He appointed him as the guard of Zhishou Hall because he was an honest and honest person and had a lot of good popularity among the young people.
When the other teenagers heard that Zhao Yi was the first to complain, they all shouted and screamed. Not long after they first entered Zhishou Hall, they were taken by Fan He to cut down clouds, pine and bamboo. After seeing these bamboos, which were no thicker than the mouth of a bowl, I thought that with a little foundation, cutting down these bamboos would not be a waste of energy.
Who knew that these clouds, pine and bamboo looked slender, but were extremely tough. They were only eight or nine years old, but it took them half a day to cut down a half-year-old bamboo each, barely completing the task.
Although everyone's cultivation has improved a lot in the past two months, they still have some shortcomings in wanting to complete this task easily.
Fan He rolled his eyes and scolded with two thick eyebrows: "None of us Jiuhua disciples are tough-minded and able to face difficulties. How can we complain so much just because of this little difficulty?"
Seeing Fan He yelling at him, the young men all stood in silence and did not dare to make any more noise.
Fan He then softened his tone and said, "Besides, most of your cultivations have reached the entry-level stage of concentration. People like Fan Yi, Han Yao, Su Yingying and others have all reached the early stage of concentration. As long as you can help each other, you can cut down a few Zhuyun Songzhu is still not a big problem.”
When Han Yao heard Fan He praising him in public, he showed a somewhat proud look on his face and said loudly, "Brothers, when we enter the Yunsong Forest later, if I, Han Yao, are needed, I will definitely not Standing by and watching.”
However, his show of kindness was only supported by a few Han family disciples and a few other disciples from ordinary families who wanted to cling to him. The rest of the people were silent and no one responded to him.
Everyone knows who Han Yao is, and most young people don't want to have anything to do with him.
Han Yao made a fuss in front of everyone. Although he was furious in his heart, he could only laugh a few times, taking the opportunity to hide the trace of anger on his face.
Fan He nodded and said, "Han Yao is right. This time, you can form a team freely and help each other complete this mission. Of course, now that you can cooperate, the mission is no longer about a half-year-old Yunsongzhu." ”
Fan He said, stretched out three fingers and continued, "Each of you has to cut down three cloud pine and bamboo trees before sunset. As for the age of the bamboos, there is no limit. Of course, in order to encourage everyone, Coach Wu and I will have a meeting Different rewards will be given to you based on the number and age of trees you cut down."
Hearing that this time was different from the last time they were fighting alone, the young men breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, there are rewards for over-fulfilling tasks, and now they are all looking for people who have good relationships with each other, and they are hanging out with each other.
Su Yingying took the opportunity to go to Mu Jingyu's side, touched him with her arm, and said with a smile, "Jingyu, you have only been in Zhishou Hall for a few days, so you must not have any suitable brothers. But you don't have to." Worry, Miss, I will reluctantly condescend and take you to complete this task."
Ever since Damu Jingyu was assigned to her side, Su Yingying had a crush on this handsome young man and took the initiative to show her kindness to him.
In fact, Mu Jingyu also wanted to find someone with advanced cultivation to complete this mission together. However, these people were not very familiar with him. In addition, in the past few days, Han Yao had openly and secretly expressed hostility towards him because of Su Yingying, so others were unwilling to take the initiative to associate with him.
Mu Jingyu himself knew the reason for this, so he also stayed away from this beautiful girl.
At that moment, he turned slightly and smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Su, for not looking down on Jingyu. It's just that my cultivation level is really low. I'm afraid it will hinder Senior Sister from completing the task."
Mu Jingyu sounded like he was afraid of dragging down Su Yingying, but in fact he was secretly rejecting her invitation.
Unexpectedly, Su Yingying didn't hear his true intention. She waved her little hands happily and said hurriedly, "It doesn't matter. It's not difficult for me to cut down a few cloud pine and bamboo trees. When you enter the cloud pine forest, you can just bear the responsibility of cutting down." Just come down to Yun Songzhu, and leave the rest to me."
"This... I'm afraid something is wrong." Mu Jingyu said as he turned to look at Han Yao not far away. I saw this little fat man glaring at the two of them fiercely. A pair of slightly narrowed eyes shot out a threatening look.
Mu Jingyu snorted coldly and said to himself, "I originally didn't want to have a grudge against this Han Yao because of Su Yingying. But he was too domineering. Didn't he see that Su Yingying was pestering him all the time? Actually? You are so aggressive, do you really think I am a soft persimmon?"
Although he was born in a small mountain village in Cangmang Mountain, his character had already become tough and fearless during the more than a month he spent with Mo Yunshen. Therefore, when faced with Han Yao's oppression, he did not shrink back like other disciples.
Originally, he was unwilling to have too much entanglement with Su Yingying, but at this moment, he was provoked by Han Yao's threatening eyes and changed his mind.
"Since Senior Sister can look up to me, Jingyu would like to thank Senior Sister."
After Mu Jingyu said this, he glanced sideways at Han Yao, who was getting a little more irritable, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly provocatively.
"Hehe, I knew that junior brother would never reject me." Su Yingying said excitedly, pulling Mu Jingyu's arm.
At this moment, Han Yao's tense face suddenly relaxed, he tilted his head and whispered a few words to the person next to him, then looked at Mu Jingyu with a smile, as if he was watching a good show.
A trace of suspicion arose in Mu Jingyu's heart, just when he couldn't understand why Han Yao suddenly acted like this. They saw a girl in a pink skirt not far away, pushing through the crowd and crowding around them, and grabbed Su Yingying's sleeve.
"Yingying, haven't you always done tasks with us sisters? You can't leave us behind today! You also know that with our cultivation, it takes a lot of effort to cut down Yunsongzhu. Yes, you can’t leave us alone.”
The girl in the pink skirt pouted with a complaining look. As he spoke, he pulled Su Yingying towards the sisters not far away.
"Oh, Sister Yan'er, I don't know your strength yet. Isn't it easy to cut down a few cloud pine and bamboo trees? This time, don't drag me with you."
This Zhou Yan is the niece of Zhou Rong, the chief disciple of Song Xiao and Master Ling Yang. Because he and Su Yingying are both disciples of the Jiuhua Sect, they usually have a close relationship with Su Yingying.
A few days ago, after Mu Jingyu came to Zhishou Hall for the first time, she discovered that Su Yingying was approaching him intentionally or unintentionally. Regarding the origin of Mu Jingyu, she had heard Zhou Rong mention it at some point. I know that Master Tianyang and other leaders have prejudices against him.
Seeing that Su Yingying seemed to have a good impression of him, she privately reminded her not to get too close to Mu Jingyu, lest she would be displeased by Master Chiyang.
But Su Yingying seemed to be seduced by Mu Jingyu's appearance and she was obsessed with him. Han Yao just sent his men to provoke her. Zhou Yan's hot temper was immediately aroused. Come here and pull Su Yingying to prevent her from teaming up with Mu Jingyu.
Zhou Yan chuckled when he heard this, glanced sideways at Mu Jingyu, and laughed in a low voice, "Why, do you want to abandon us sisters now that you have a confidante?"
Su Yingying's face turned red, she pinched the back of her hand gently, and said with a sweet voice, "Sister Yan'er is teasing my sister again, how could I fall in love with him?"
Su Yingying herself is the adopted granddaughter of Master Chiyang, and her own qualifications are quite good. In time, she will definitely be the proud disciple of Jiuhua Sect in the future. If people knew that he actually had feelings for Mu Jingyu at this moment, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?
"It's not the best. Why don't you quickly go with my sister and the other sisters to cut down clouds, pines and bamboos?"
Zhou Yan couldn't help but said, pulling Su Yingying towards a few people not far away.
"Oh, sister, please go slowly." Su Yingying had no choice but to leave with Zhou Yan. The look in Mu Jingyu's eyes was full of apologies.
Mu Jingyu looked at Zhou Yan who suddenly appeared, and Han Yao with his arms around him not far away. How could he not know that he was the one causing the trouble?
After a short discussion, everyone has found their respective team partners. Mu Jingyu was the only one standing there alone.
Fan He glanced at everyone, glanced at Mu Jingyu, frowned and said, "Why, aren't you willing to form a team with Jingyu?"
When Zhao Yi heard this, he looked around and saw no one responded. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Coach, since no one is willing to be on the team with him, let me lead this junior brother."
Before Fan He could agree, Han Yao pouted at a young man not far away. The young man quickly walked to Mu Jingyu and said, "No need to trouble Brother Zhao. Let's form a team with Junior Brother Mu."
After Zhao Yi saw this person clearly, his eyes paused. He was about to speak to dissuade him, but Fan He waved his hand and said, "Since Yi Hong is willing to help Jingyu, that's the best thing. It's getting late now, let's hurry up." Let’s get started, we can’t let Senior Brother Wu and his colleagues wait in a hurry at Zunyi Hall.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in leading everyone towards the bluestone road on the mountainside.
All the disciples responded with a bang and followed closely behind Fan He.
Walking down the winding bluestone road, making several large circles around the mountainside, we came to a pavilion at the foot of the mountain. There, I saw thirty or forty young people from a distance, already waiting in the open space outside the pavilion.
These dozens of young men are the disciples of Zunyitang. Standing in front of everyone was a middle-aged man in his thirties, Wu Kangnian, the coach of Zunyi Hall.
"Brother, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Fan He led the young man to the front of Wu Kangnian and bowed his hand slightly.
Wu Kangnian replied, "We have just arrived. Didn't we just arrange for them to be divided into teams?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and scanned among the young people in Zhishoutang, as if he was looking for someone.
Of course Fan He was looking for something tomorrow. He turned slightly to one side, raised his arm slightly, pointed at a handsome young man hanging behind the crowd, and said softly, "Brother, are you looking for that Mu Jingyu? Look at the crowd following him. Behind him, that’s the handsome young man.”
With Fan He's guidance, Wu Kangnian recognized Mu Jingyu at a glance. First there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he sighed.
"Hey, look at this kid's appearance. He is as handsome as Junior Brother Mo! It's just a pity that his qualifications are extremely mediocre. It's no wonder that several junior uncles are unwilling to follow Junior Brother Mo's last wish and take him under his wing. Under Feng Sect, I have become an inner disciple."
Fan He said, "This is Junior Brother Mo's last wish. Even if the master uncle disdains his qualifications, it is impossible to drive him out of Jiuhua directly. He is just assigned to our Feilu Peak. A small outer sect disciple started practicing. However, with his talent and qualifications, no matter how hard he worked, he would not be able to pass the three-year exam. In the end, he would still be expelled from the sect. "
While the two were talking, Mu Jingyu had followed everyone and stood in the open space. When passing by Fan He and Wu Kangnian, I don't know if I heard the conversation between the two. At this moment, he stood behind the crowd, looking lonely and bowing his head in silence.
Looking at his helpless figure, Wu Kangnian felt sad in his heart. He patted Fan He's arm and said, "Let's not care about his qualifications. We only need to teach him carefully. As for his final achievement, it all depends on his own ability." tried."
