This sudden ending left everyone stunned. Precisely because everyone watched it seriously, the last moment when Ruan Lin's power weakened was captured by most people!
"Ruan Lin lost! He lost to Junior Sister Manying again!"
"What happened just now? There was obviously hope of victory in the last blow, but his power seemed to be suddenly taken away, and even the power of shadow was in a trance."
"I don't know, this is the first time he has been in a situation like that when he competed with so many people on the martial arts stage."
Everyone was talking about it. For Ruan Lin, who had defeated many brothers and sisters, this result was obviously not accepted by most people.
But the fact is that something abnormal happened to Ruan Lin at the critical moment. This abnormality was extremely obvious and everyone saw it!
Ruan Lin was not seriously injured after being struck by lightning, but his body was paralyzed and he could not move for a while.
Yue Manying slowly fell to his side and stood there. She did not look proud after winning, but said in a deep voice: "You have indeed become stronger. What happened during the last blow? Why was your strength suddenly weakened?"
Ruan Lin lowered his head, hiding the panic and astonishment on his face from others, because he himself didn't know why he was like this.
He was rushing against the current into the air sea. If he didn't stop in time, the consequences would be disastrous!
As soon as his mind moved, he lowered his expression and raised his head and said: "I fought against Senior Sister Kexin once at noon today. My spiritual power has not been fully recovered. The move just now consumed too much spiritual power. I forgot about it for a moment, so I let you." There is an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
Yue Manying frowned when she heard this, but she didn't refute him immediately this time.
Because his reason is very valid.
If he had just unleashed that move completely, he wouldn't be able to restrain it with full confidence even if he had the Thunder Hammer.
Not only did Yue Manying believe it, but everyone else also believed it and nodded...
"I guess so. Going to the martial arts stage twice a day will definitely consume double the amount of spiritual power."
"That's right, Junior Sister Manying is a little bit invincible this time."
"If Ruan Lin has enough spiritual power, she may not be an opponent."
"Senior Sister Kexin is no match, and it is even less possible for Junior Sister Manying to win."
Like weeds on the wall, the wind changed direction instantly, as if everyone had forgotten that Ruan Lin had already lost to Guo Yue Manying in the first place.
These conversations faintly penetrated into Yue Yueying's ears from outside the barrier.
Normally, Yue Manying would have screamed and jumped, but this time, she didn't react at all, but was surprisingly calm.
With a wave of his hand, the thunder hammer disappeared in a flash. Yue Manying turned around and jumped off the ring without looking back. She directly took Ruan Heng's hand and walked out.
Ruan Heng was a little confused, but he didn't say much and let him drag him away.
Only the disciples' gazes from behind were left.
All the way out of Xuantian Gate, Yue Manying let go of Ruan Heng's wrist, and Ruan Heng subconsciously said: "Junior sister, are you okay?"
Yue Manying shook her head gently, her face serious: "I just can't figure it out."
"Ruan Lin?"
"Yeah!" She nodded and said as she walked: "At first I just heard about his sparring with others during this period. Although I thought it was incredible, I didn't take it too seriously. It wasn't until I played against him just now that I really I can really feel how fast his strength has improved, I have never heard of it, but I can see this kind of speed in him!"
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Ruan Heng, paused and then said: "You all say that Senior Sister A Li is the most talented disciple in the sect, but I feel that even Senior Sister A Li will not improve at such a speed. , so incredible!”
"Besides, he wanders around all day long, looking for someone to spar with whomever he likes. When will he have time to practice? I'm afraid it won't be even one-tenth of the time you spent!"
Yue Manying felt that her suspicion was reasonable and not a willful act of dissatisfaction.
There must be something fishy about Ruan Lin, but she was not allowed to find any flaws.
"Brother, be careful. I think he is very dangerous." Yue Manying suddenly reminded her seriously: "And he has always been the most hostile to you."
"I will go to the Royal Academy to practice soon. The opportunity to return to the sect will be limited, and I may not be able to see him again."
After hearing this, Yue Manying shook her head slightly: "If no flaws can be found, with the speed of his progress, Uncle Bao Qi will think that it is his hard work and talent that have made his achievements, and it is very likely that he will be included in the next batch of lists. ”
Ruan Heng was belatedly aware of this possibility.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
As they talked, the two came to the entrance of Yuhua Village.
The sky is getting darker, and some houses are already dimly lit by candlelight. Looking from a distance makes people feel quiet and peaceful.
"I grew up in a village like this since I was a child, and I haven't been back for a long time."
Yue Manying smiled again, and after saying this, she opened her arms and ran excitedly along the road towards the village.
Ruan Heng raised a smile when he saw this and quickly chased after him.
The Ruan family was easy to find. They met a young outer disciple at the entrance of the village and asked about it. After being described and pointed in the direction, the two of them quickly saw the two very obvious weeping willows.
When you come outside the yard and look through the fence, you can have a panoramic view of everything in the yard.
The courtyard is exceptionally neat and elegant. Although it is three years old, everything is as good as new.
On the wooden couch in the pavilion in the courtyard, Ruan Ziyi was weaving a bamboo basket with his head down.
Maybe this environment is too comfortable, and his sensitivity will be reduced after living there for a long time. At this moment, Ruan Ziyi was in a trance, and he didn't notice anyone standing outside the hospital at all.
"Who are you looking for?"
A smart girl walked out of the front room with a bamboo hat in her hand. She saw the people outside the courtyard and subconsciously asked.
This sentence caused Ruan Ziyi to raise his head and look in surprise.
"Third uncle."
Ruan Heng smiled slightly and called softly.
Ruan Zitao was stunned for a moment, until Ruan Heng's appearance in front of him gradually revealed the outline of his youth, and Ruan Zitao suddenly recognized this person: "Heng'er?"
After saying this, he quickly called to the smart girl: "Aran, go and open the door for your brother Heng and let them in."
The girl is none other than Ruan Li's sister Ruan Ran.
"Brother Heng?" Ruan Ran was also a little surprised. It was obvious that Ruan Heng had changed a lot since he was a few years older, especially his temperament was completely different from before, which was why she didn't recognize him at all.
After entering the courtyard, Ruan Ziyi invited the two of them to sit down on the wooden couch, then looked at Ruan Heng for a moment before nodding and saying: "You have grown much taller and stronger, and your spiritual energy is much mellow. It seems that you My cultivation has improved greatly in the past few years!”
"Dad, Brother Heng is coming down the mountain to see you. Don't be judgmental like an old gentleman." Ruan Ran came with a tea set in hand, criticizing and reminding her father without hesitation, and then turned to Ruan Heng again. Smile: "Brother Heng, drink tea."
Ruan Heng nodded and took it, saying: "The third uncle is an elder, and he still remembers how tall and strong I was before, and even knows the thickness of the aura around me. I'm very happy."
Ruan Ziyi laughed twice, and said very unruly: "A'ran is right, and this person really has to remind himself not to preach. This preaching will make him feel like he is old."
"Third uncle is in his prime, and I don't want you to think of me as an old man."
After that, the conversation changed: "A few days ago, your third aunt came back from the sect and told me that she had met you and that you would come to see us right away."
"I feel ashamed to say that A Li has been in seclusion for three years. I should have come to visit her third uncle and aunt on her behalf, but I was just temporarily obsessed with cultivation and often forgot about it."
Yue Manying said from the side: "Senior, don't blame senior brother. He is the hardest-working disciple in the sect."
"What are you talking about? I'm happy if you can come. I'll come often when you have time. It doesn't matter if you don't have time. Since you have joined the sect, everything is not as important as cultivation." Ruan Ziyi said, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: " I really didn’t expect that it would be you and A Li who were the last members of the Ruan family to join the Tiangui Sect.”
"You must have suffered a lot in these years."
Ruan Heng pursed his lips and smiled. He did not complain, but said: "I am very happy with it. I just hope that I will not be left too far behind by my classmates."
With his qualifications, joining the Heavenly Return Sect is something he would never even dream of.
But he really did it.
As the saying goes, stupid birds fly first and diligence can make up for failure. He has always warned himself in this way, not to slack off even a moment.
"It's good if you have this ambition."
As he said that, Ruan Ziyi couldn't help but look up at the road outside the courtyard, and then said: "Let's stay here today. There is an extra room at home. Let your third aunt cook something delicious tonight."
Ruan Heng had this intention and immediately nodded in agreement.
In the evening, there was laughter and laughter in the house. Yue Manying's lively and warm personality soon got along with Ruan Duo and Ruan Yuan. They talked about some interesting experiences and made everyone laugh non-stop.
He Qingyang's beard was always curled up with a smile, and he was as happy as an old child.
Although the house is so lively every night, it is obviously even more lively today.
But among all the smiling faces, only Ruan Heng seemed to be smiling on the outside, but he felt lonely in his heart.
Because he didn't want to face the Ruan family, he hadn't visited his mother's grave for a year. Now facing such a harmonious and cheerful family scene, he still felt like a bystander.
They were obviously sitting together, but he only felt envious.
I don't know if it was Liu Ruofu's delicate mind, but he seemed to feel Ruan Heng's emotions, and immediately asked: "Heng'er, did you eat the spirit snails sent by aunt?"
"Auntie, junior sister Manying ate a big plate, her belly is bulging!"
Yue Manying said excitedly: "It's so delicious. The spirit snails raised by my aunt are fat, fresh and delicious!"
Liu Ruofu nodded with a smile and said in a gentle tone: "That's good, the disciples can eat it if they like."
"This is the only thing your third uncle and I can do in this village. Your third uncle can also do some crafts. He learned from the craftsmen in the village when he was in the countryside of Dianliangdu, weaving bamboo baskets. Yes, many people in the village now come to him to do this, and it really comes in handy."
"I saw it today. The third uncle made it very nice." Ruan Heng said.
Ruan Ziyi laughed when he heard this. His smile was very peaceful and no longer contained any burden.
Ruan Heng clearly felt that his third uncle had also changed.
I still remember when I was a child, I heard that there was a prodigy among the elders in the family. He was extremely talented and a master of weapons. That person was his third uncle. As a concubine, he was not qualified to call his third uncle's children brother and sister, but he could call him third uncle. .
Unfortunately, God was jealous of Yingcai. One day he learned that his third uncle's leg was disabled, and he never recovered.
When the essence, energy and spirit are gone, the person will be useless.
Later they left the Ruan family, and when they saw him later, it was the first time he went home after joining the sect. The Ruan family took the third uncle back to Dianliangdu.
At that time, the third uncle would laugh, but the smile was only superficial. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the smile had no content, but the expression was not the mood.
But now, he felt the true feelings of his third uncle, and he was really smiling from the bottom of his heart.
The three years since he came to the sect's ruins were probably the most comfortable and happy time in his life. The pain of his disabled leg was gradually relieved during these happy days, and one day it would disappear.
can you?
It should be possible, he sincerely hoped.
——
For twelve full hours, with the help of Ning Xiaoyao and a group of senior brothers, Zheng Tianpei's punishment was finally completed.
And it’s completed ahead of schedule.
With the joint efforts of six or seven people, they still worked for twelve hours. It is conceivable that if Zheng Tianpei was alone, he would have to work until the Year of the Monkey.
"We're done! You guys have worked hard, I'll thank you later!"
"Senior Brother, why are you being polite to us? If something happens, isn't it just a word from Senior Brother?"
"That's right! Senior brother, go back and rest early. It's already this hour and everyone is tired!"
Ning Xiaoyao smiled and waved, sending everyone away.
When he turned around, Zheng Tianpei was standing behind him, sweating profusely and soaked to the skin, with an expressionless face, like a water ghost who had just emerged from the water.
"What are you doing here? Go back to sleep!" Ning Xiaoyao curled his lips and spoke to Zheng Tianpei in a commanding tone like a senior brother for the first time.
Zheng Tianpei looked at him with his mouth shut for a long time without saying a single word.
"If you can't say it, don't hold it in. Don't you feel awkward? I don't want you to say thank you, so get out of here!"
After that, Ning Xiaoyao walked to the open-air thatched hut and lay down directly on the couch. He raised his hand to put the straw hat on his face and ignored him!
Zheng Tianpei lowered his head slightly, his emotions a little complicated, but they were not enough to make him lose his mind.
After a while, he left the Lingzhi Garden silently.
After feeling the breath disappear, Ning Xiaoyao took off the straw hat, looked around, and snorted: "Not polite!"
Zheng Tianpei was dragging his tired body and was about to step into the courtyard of his residence when a figure suddenly appeared from one side and startled him.
His depressed spirit suddenly returned, and he almost screamed in shock.
"Junior brother...it's me!"
When he saw who was coming, Zheng Tianpei's face became stern, he dragged him into the corner of the yard and scolded him: "Are you crazy? What are you doing here?"
"I heard that you are in Lingzhi Garden. I can't enter that place, so I can only come here and wait for you!"
"Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you don't have any news about me!" Zheng Tianpei was obviously angry, and his voice was a little cruel: "If you continue to be so rash, I will never see you again!" (End of Chapter)
