At night, in the spacious room.

Zhu Yunfeng came to Zhu Xingqiu's side, rubbed his sore shoulders, and said worriedly: "Brother, the reward for this trial is nothing, but everyone knows about the bet. If you want to win the beauty, you must win the first place." One."

Zhu Xingqiu looked sideways: "If Hongyan loses, she will also go to Yuri Mountain. What does it have to do with me?"

"Hey, what are you going to do with our relationship?" Zhu Yunfeng walked to the side and sat down by the window and said, "If Zhu Hongyan doesn't win the first place, she will either go to Yuri Mountain or hand over the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame."

"But the ancestor will only let her choose the latter."

Zhu Xingqiu's gaze suddenly became sharp, and Zhu Yunfeng realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly got down to business, raising his chin to signal to the other side, "This Mu Qing's strength is indeed not simple. If you ask me, even if you attack with all your strength, I'm afraid you won't be his opponent. "

"Besides, don't you feel it?"

"What?"

"I'm afraid Zhu Hongyan is aware of Mu Qing."

"Nonsense! Hong Yan and Murong Jing are biological sisters."

Zhu Yunfeng showed a meaningful smile on his face and said: "I don't believe you haven't collected information related to Mu Qing in the past few days. This guy has several confidante, so falling in love with a group of sisters seems to be nothing."

"Nothing?"

Zhu Xingqiu's face darkened, and he warned: "Hongyan's cultivation is coming from behind. I know you have always been jealous of Hongyan, but she is the eldest lady of the Zhu family. If this arrangement is spread, our faces will be a little brighter. Really? If I hear such news outside, I will just settle the score with you!"

"Ahem! How can it be so serious..."

Seeing that Zhu Xingqiu was not joking, Zhu Yunfeng stood up quickly and said, "Don't worry, I just kept it from my heart. I definitely never told anyone else."

Zhu Xingqiu's face softened slightly.

Zhu Yunfeng pointed to his right shoulder and said in a low voice: "Although I don't want to admit it, that guy is indeed very powerful. If he wants to escort Zhu Hongyan all the way, I'm afraid he can really help Zhu Hongyan get the first place."

"If that's the case, brother, it will be even harder for you to win Zhu Hongyan's favor."

Zhu Xingqiu recalled the scene of Zhu Hongyan and Mu Qing standing together during the day, his eyes showing deep thought.

He saw Mu Qing's power with his own eyes in Nangui City, and asked himself that he didn't have much chance of winning against Mu Qing, but it was not easy for Zhu Hongyan to get first place...

Seeing that Zhu Xingqiu seemed passive, Zhu Yunfeng leaned closer and whispered: "There are rules for the Three Mountain Trials. Uncle Boyuan came forward before, but Uncle Boyuan can't always keep an eye on us."

Zhu Xingqiu looked sideways: "What do you want to do?"

Zhu Yunfeng replied: "There are rules in the Three Mountains Trial. Before the start of the competition, there must be no fights between contestants. Violators will be disqualified."

"No!" Zhu Xingqiu said firmly.

"Why?" Zhu Yunfeng wondered: "Are you worried about the two masters who went into the mountain with Mu Qing? But this is Gale Mountain, which is the territory of the Presbyterian Church. Besides, we follow the rules."

Zhu Xingqiu took a deep look at Zhu Yunfeng. Like Zhu Hongyan, he put most of his thoughts on cultivation, but Zhu Yunfeng was different. After realizing that he could not catch up with the two, he focused on winning the hearts of his peers.

Although the incident in the square during the day was minor, it made Zhu Yunfeng lose face. He was trying to use his help to cause trouble for Mu Qing.

Zhu Xingqiu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "These are troubled times. Even I just have to do what I have to do. There are some things that you must not touch."

Seeing the unquestionable expression on Zhu Xingqiu's face, Zhu Yunfeng felt unhappy, but he still thought of some possibility and asked expectantly: "Does the ancestor have a plan?"

Zhu Xingqiu's face was expressionless: "Even if the ancestor has a plan, will he tell us juniors? You prepare honestly for the game in three days. If you meet Mu Qing, you will lose if you lose."

"I understand." Zhu Yunfeng nodded vigorously.

Looking at his appearance, Zhu Xingqiu knew that he didn't understand anything, but he also lost the patience to explain and said, "Go back, I want to rest too."

After Zhu Yunfeng left, Zhu Xingqiu looked at the next door, lost in thought for a long time.

…

"So she inherited your idea?"

Inside the barrier, Zhu Hongyan looked at Murong Jing in surprise.

Murong Jing shook her head and said: "It's not a heritage, it's just a top ten strange fire."

Zhu Hongyan sighed softly: "That's sister, you don't know. Now the top ten strange fires all have their own owners. If she said it was the top ten strange fires, it is most likely the Jingming Flame in her body." .”

"Jingmingyan ranks fifth. If it is successfully refined, it can bring qualitative changes to the host's soul. This is actually the reason why she has existed longer than the previous Zhu Zong."

When Mu Qing heard the sigh in Zhu Hongyan's words, he understood in his heart that Zhu Zong had never performed a fire lighting ceremony in the past, and the damage to the consciousness of the sea was irreparable, but when Zhu Tiexin came here, something unexpected happened.

Because the unique ability of Jingmingyan, a strange fire, is to gain various benefits to the consciousness of the sea, Zhu Tiexin persisted longer than Zhu Zong before.

In other words, I wish Tiexin would experience pain and torture for a longer time.

Zhu Hongyan looked at Murong Jing, held Murong Jing's hand, and said with a slightly complicated expression: "Although it was her order that my parents were hunted down, she did everything in accordance with the rules, so I..."

"I know how you feel." Murong Jing held Murong Jing's backhand, recalled the back figure she saw, and said, "I don't like staying with her, but when it comes to hatred, I can't find much."

"snort!"

Mu Qing, who had been keeping quiet on the side, snorted softly and said, "But this old woman wants you to accept her inheritance, Jing'er. Isn't this because she has endured hardship and wants to drag others into the sea of ​​suffering?"

Murong Jing rolled her eyes at him.

Zhu Hongyan looked deep in thought and said, "It would be fine if I just inherited the strange fire and didn't go to the Yuanri Mountain to practice."

Mu Qing's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Hongyan said; "I heard from my aunt that Zhu Zong has a special method of transmitting power. He can actively pass on the strange fire in his body to the chosen person before the oil is completely exhausted. This can not only prevent the strange fire from getting out of control, but also It can reduce the risk when refining strange fire."

Mu Qing and Murong Jing looked at each other, and Zhu Tiexin could tell that Zhu Hongyan had practiced the Nirvana Technique. If the technique was taught like this, the risk of Zhu Hongyan refining the Pure Fire was almost minimal.

but……

"If the Kung Fu were taught like this, would she still be alive?"

"...Of course not."

Mu Qing sighed softly: "This is such a big cause and effect, Jing'er can't handle it."

Zhu Hongyan frowned: "We will think about it this way, but some people won't. They actually let Zhu Yunfeng come to test, so they must have thought of this, and maybe they will force old Zhu Zong to pass on his skills."

Mu Qing frowned slightly, whether it was Zhu Yushan or Zhu Jiyuan, they would all face Zhu Tiexin, and Zhu Tiexin seemed to have accepted such a result.

Mu Qing thought of the secret he discovered on the way into the mountain, looked at Zhu Hongyan, and asked, "Where is your father?"

Zhu Hongyan shook his head: "I don't know."

Mu Qing was startled, and looked at Zhu Hongyan, not believing it.

Zhu Hongyan said in a low voice: "I spend more time with my aunt than with him. He is the head of the family and is always busy. Isn't this normal?"

Murong Jing frowned slightly: "Then where do you stay on weekdays?"

Zhu Hongyan said: "On weekdays, I either practice with Ling'er or the others, or I go to Nangui City to stay with the city lord."

Mu Qing was speechless, stood up and walked outside.

The two women quickly caught up with him, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Qing walked to the door and looked around. The area they were in was a rest area specially prepared for contestants. He could sense that Zhong Ling'er and Tantai Xuan had also followed them to Gale Mountain.

Zhu Yushan could deliberately avoid seeing him, but he would still meet Tantai Xuan no matter what.

But there are some things that he must ask the other party clearly in person.

"We have to find a way to get him to show up."

"If he deliberately avoids us, what can he do?"

…

A moment later, the door of the small courtyard where Zhu Xuefeng was located was kicked open.

In the room, Zhu Xuefeng was enjoying spiritual wine and delicacies with several Zhu family children. Hearing the commotion, he walked out of the room angrily and was about to shout and curse, but the next moment they all fell silent.

Zhu Xuefeng felt the gazes of the people around him, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He suppressed his anger, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Zhe Qing came just in time. Everyone was praising you for your extraordinary skills just now. Since you are here, why not go in and have a few drinks?" A glass of Gale Mountain’s specialty spiritual wine?”

Mu Qing glanced at the children of the Zhu family who were afraid to say anything, and thought that these people were very different from Zhu Xingqiu. He smiled and said, "Will Mr. Xuefeng still praise me? This actually surprises me."

Zhu Xuefeng glanced at Zhu Hongyan and Murong Jing, who were following Mu Qing, with ugly expressions on their faces. They had just arranged the relationship between Mu Qing and the two sisters on the same bed. When they first saw the real owner coming to the door, they thought it was a quilt with ears on the wall. He eavesdropped, but then he thought about it, it was Zhu Xingqiu who lived next door to Mu Qing.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhu Xuefeng sobered up a lot. He looked at Mu Qing warily and said hesitantly: "Brother Zhe Qing, you shouldn't be here to cause trouble for me when you come here so late, right?"

Mu Qing nodded, "You guessed it right."

"I never hold grudges in front of people who are weaker than me. You can either apologize to us or let me beat you up."

Zhu Xuefeng was furious, and while retreating into the room behind him, he warned: "We are contestants. If we fight during the break, we will be disqualified."

Mu Qing shook his head, "So you can apologize."

"Mu Qing!" Zhu Xuefeng was humiliated in person, and he shouted Mu Qing's real name out of anger.

Mu Qing's figure flashed and reappeared, having passed through several people and came to Zhu Xuefeng. He punched Zhu Xuefeng on the mouth.

"boom--"

Zhu Xuefeng flew out and hit the tables and chairs in the room. The smell of wine overflowed for a while.

Mu Qing controlled the force of this blow extremely well. Zhu Xuefeng got up from the mess and laughed angrily: "Ha, you're done. I didn't fight back. You will be deprived of the qualification immediately. Zhu Hongyan can't be arrogant for long without a man." ”

Zhu Hongyan, who had just walked to Mu Qing's side, frowned.

"Snapped--"

After the slap, Zhu Xuefeng flew out of the window.

"You have such a stinky mouth!"

The night was surging, and the movement in the yard attracted a lot of attention. Before others could run to watch the fun, a voice sounded outside the door: "Go back and rest. If you show up here again, you will be disqualified!"

Zhu Boyuan walked into the yard and frowned slightly when he saw Zhu Xuefeng lying on the ground.

Zhu Xuefeng was a little excited. He stood up and said through his teeth: "Uncle Boyuan, they came to my place to hurt people. Please disqualify Zhu Hongyan and Mu Qing from the competition!"

Zhu Boyuan glanced at the other Zhu family disciples coldly. After these people left, he sighed softly: "Xue Feng, why did you anger them?"

Zhu Xuefeng: "Huh?"

Dropping a bottle of elixir and ignoring the furious Zhu Xuefeng, Zhu Boyuan left with Mu Qing and the others.

…

"You deliberately stir up trouble, what is your purpose?"

"I want to see Master Zhu."
