chapter 25

"Don't!" Lin Yuqi lowered her head in horror, and immediately retracted her hand that was still grabbing the medicine, buckled it around her waist, and Yubai's knuckles tightly grabbed her own belt.

"How can you..." She widened her eyes and was really startled.

Chu Junli frowned slightly, not feeling how outrageous his behavior was. He is cold on the outside, withdrawn on the inside, and has not had much experience with friends. He does not know how close the relationship is, and he cannot directly ignore the wishes of his friends.

When he is hypocritical, he often gives the illusion of being warm and friendly.

"It's just medicine for you."

The fingertips were still on Lin Yuqi's belt, and the two were very close.

I didn't see that the palm of the person in front of me had quietly condensed spiritual power. As soon as Chu Junli made a move, Lin Yuqi was ready to shoot him.

Danger is approaching secretly, and Chu Junli, who is hated by Demon Venerable, knows nothing...

At this moment, two regular and steady footsteps came from outside the door, the approaching people walked steadily, one after the other, Lin Yuqi could only feel the approach of two powerful and unfathomable breaths.

One of them is very familiar, with a faint thunder power.

Looks like…

The head humbly followed behind him,

"Teacher, Master came to see you..."

Shi Shiran, the real person of Yucheng said, looking around, he glanced at the two teenagers standing in front of the bead curtain. Eyes, the words he just said were also lost by half, and the hand that touched the beard accidentally tore off two silver threads.

"This is you?"

Yucheng's eyes almost fell out, and the corner of his mouth twitched and asked.

The two young men in front of them were both handsome, and it was a pleasure to stand together. But what they're doing now is really easy to imagine.

The wild boy who ran out of nowhere from nowhere, held his disciple close to his arms and put his hand on his disciple's waist. Coming together! The key is that his stupid apprentice, facing such a weak chicken, doesn't know how to beat people away, his hair is half wet, his clothes are disheveled, he pulls his belt tenderly, and shows his face blushing!

"Separate me! What a formality!" He snarled.

Lin Yuqi never imagined that she would resist in every possible way, but in Yucheng's eyes, she turned out to be half-rejected and half-rejected. She quickly took advantage of Chu Jun's distraction and pushed him all the way.

Chu Jun took a few steps away from the staggering steps to stand up, and he realized that the two people who came in must be the great powers in the sect. The head he had seen from a distance during the selection, and naturally knew the identity of the other party.

However, the head of Tianzhaozong still respectfully followed behind Master Lin Yuqi, which shows his high rank.

Lin Yuqi looked at the real person Yucheng hesitantly, and called out weakly, "Master."

In exchange for a cold hum!

Zhenzhen Yucheng threw her an elixir and said: "Although you have already left the illusion, the mirage always likes to use the dark trick behind your back. You take this medicine to remove the turbid qi in your body, In order to prevent damage to the cultivation base." He glanced at Chu Jun next to him without anger and arrogance: "This is the kid who entered the illusion with you?"

Lin Yuqi nodded obediently.

"He's lucky." Yucheng pouted.

Great, let him, an old antique who has practiced for thousands of years, also sigh.

This time he originally wanted to see if the satisfied disciple he had finally received was injured, so he came with a kind heart, but found that the disciple had already been cared for by others, and couldn't help but feel in his heart He blamed himself for being too late, and looking at Chu Junli was not pleasing to the eye.

Fuck his sleeves and said coldly, "Take the medicine, put on your clothes and go to the main hall." After Yucheng finished speaking, he turned and walked to the door, suddenly turning his head.

He pointed at Chu Junli: "What are you doing here? Come out!"

Lin Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, watching Chu Junli follow the two elders out the door, and his heart fell back to the original place.

I can vaguely hear the conversation between the head and the real person Yucheng.

"Humph! That's not an excuse to mess around in broad daylight. If I don't get there, they're going to do something shameful next!"

Lin Yuqi listened silently through the door, the corners of her mouth twitched and her heart was complicated.

After cleaning up the wound, Lin Yuqi put on clean clothes, and just after leaving the room, a beaded kingfisher flew in front of her. The bird was no more than the size of a slap, with a green body and pearl-colored polka dots on its wings.

When flying into Lin Yuqi's hand, she stretched out her red sharp beak and pecked at the palm of her hand, and spat out a small note.

This is a method commonly used by Tianzhao Sect to transmit messages. Lin Yuqi opened the note, and the kingfisher blinked its mung bean-sized eyes, fluttered its wings and flew away, disappearing into the sea of ​​clouds in the mountains middle.

Call her over to discuss related matters.

Lin Yuqi looked down at her dress, which was quite decent, so she called out the accompanying paper kite and went to the main peak.

There are twelve peaks in Nanyun Mountain. Except for the main peak, the other ten elders each occupy one peak, and Yucheng Zhenren is the highest in the sect and lives in Xuantian Peak, but he prefers to live in seclusion In Houshan Cave Mansion, it is rarely seen in front of people.

When Lin Yuqi came to the main peak on a paper kite, ten rows of disciples were already lined up in the square at the entrance of the main hall. Master's unique mark, used to distinguish the disciples of each peak. There were only four or five boys and girls in each team. Seeing that Lin Yuqi came late alone, he couldn't help but glanced at her curiously.

The line of sight fell more on her neckline, where there were two groups of lake blue cirrus clouds.

"Which elder has never seen this pattern before?" Someone whispered with their companions.

"You haven't seen it, did I see it?" Someone else replied.

Lin Yuqi glanced at it and saw that among the disciples on the far left of the square, the leader was Wan Qiuling.

The little girl Xu Shi was reprimanded by Huayan, and she lowered her head in secret, and even the peony embroidered on the disciple's robe was no longer gorgeous.

The peony is exceptionally brilliant, red and flamboyant.

She retracted her eyes and commented secretly in her heart, it really is Huayan's style.

Just got off the paper kite and didn't take a few steps, suddenly a clever little disciple ran down the hall in front of him, his legs slammed down dozens of long steps, and the corners of his clothes were flying. run to her.

We greeted him with a smile and bowed his hands: "Uncle Lin."

"Uncle Lin" was embarrassed for a moment when he called him by this title. After thinking about it carefully, he may be older than the head of the family, and it is reasonable for the other party to call him uncle.

The little disciple smiled and said, "Master knows that Uncle Lin is coming to the sect hall for the first time, so he specially sent me out to greet him, and asked Uncle to come with me."

"Okay." Lin Yuqi replied, ignoring the many surprised and inquiring eyes behind him, and followed him up the steps.

In the corner of the square, Wan Qiuling watched the back of Lin Yuqi who was respectfully brought into the hall and gradually receded, and couldn't help but let out a low whine, it turned out that she had provoked a big man this time, no wonder Master taught so hard.

When she sees that outer disciple again in the future, she will definitely walk around!

As the No. 1 faction in Central Continent, the main hall of the main peak must be magnificent.

Lin Yuqi saw that the white spar as smooth as a mirror was paved under her feet. The whole hall had a silver-blue tone, blue waves were painted on the walls, and the sea and clouds were connected and surging. The top of the head is a towering dome, and the moonlight is sprinkled with stars and stars, falling into the air and disappearing again.

The first person in the hall sat upright, with ten elders on the left and right, when they saw Lin Yuqi walking in, they all nodded to her.

Only the last Huayan sneered and muttered, "It's not ashamed to use the big to bully the small."

Insinuate that Lin Yuqi bullied Wan Qiuling under his seat because of her high cultivation.

But anyone in this hall who is not smart, can hear his whispers clearly.

Everyone present was a little embarrassed and silent.

…

"Are you talking about your new disciple?" The corners of Lin Yuqi's lips twitched, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Wan Qiuling insulted the outer disciples with his cultivation base and magic weapon, After being blocked by me, he tried to escape the guilt in front of the Discipline Division. After counting down all the faults, the elder Hua had to say 'the big bully the small', which is too light, isn't it?"

She raised her eyes and looked at the man in yellow in front of her.

"You!" Huayan frowned, lips trembling with anger.

Lin Yuqi smiled slightly: "But that little girl is just entering the sect, and she doesn't know the rules and shouldn't be punished severely. There is a saying that if teaching is not strict, teachers are lazy. Maybe the elders should learn from themselves. Are you looking for a reason?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuqi walked straight to the center of the hall and saluted the sect master, "I have seen the sect master."

"Sit down." The leader waved his sleeves, and a small table appeared on the left.

Lin Yuqi nodded yes, walked over and sat down.

"I called you here to discuss the apprenticeship conference." The head said in a deep voice.

"Over the years, the apprenticeship meeting has only been held in the sect. But this year's situation is special. It coincides with the 100-year trial competition. It is planned to select ten new disciples after January. Participate in the trial with other sect disciples. Although this trial is easy for junior and junior, it is not good to miss it."

"Oh" Lin Yuqi leaned over and asked, "what trial?"

The male protagonist did not enter Tianzhaozong until eight years later, which did not match the time of this trial. This plot was not written in the book.

The head is calm and calm, as if to say a very small thing:

"Suppress the Demon World."

…

"Cough cough cough." Lin Yuqi was shocked for a while, covered his lips and coughed continuously, his face red.

A cold voice came from the side: "Junior Brother Lin is so scared that he is so timid!"

Hua Yan sneered.

Lin Yuqi glared at him and complained secretly in her heart, asking the Demon Venerable to suppress the Demon Realm, fearing that she would not be an undercover agent!

But...

"Senior brother, has there been any change in this demon world recently? It needs so many disciples to suppress it." Lin Yuqi asked pretending to be curious. Could it be that someone took advantage of her absence to provoke the relationship between the realm of self-cultivation and the realm of demons

The gentle woman beside the head smiled. She was the most prestigious elder besides the head. Her name was Song Xiaoyue. Appearance, gentle eyebrows and eyes, seems to be full of Lingling autumn water.

Looking at Lin Yuqi, her red lips parted lightly: "It doesn't count as a change, it's just that a few low-level demons have tried to sneak into the mainland recently and let the disciples practice their hands."

Seeing this, Lin Yuqi's tense nerves relaxed. It turned out to be just a few young people, and things weren't that serious.

But she hadn't returned to the Demon World for a long time. I don't know what happened there. She should go back and find out the reason.

I have to find a way to bring the male lead.

So she asked the crowd: "Can this trial only be attended by inner disciples?"

"This..." Song Xiaoyue paused and said, "There is no express rule that outer sect disciples cannot participate. It's just that they are not strong enough. disuse."

For thousands of years since the establishment of the sect, no outer disciple has been able to squeeze into the top ten. In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yuqi's question is really superfluous.

Huayan seized the opportunity and sneered: "I'm afraid you're not asking this question for the outsider, he can't even take a blow from Xiaolinger, and he still wants to participate in the trial?"

He sneered, in exchange for Lin Yuqi's glare.

"Then keep your eyes open!"

—————————

It was night, and the moonlight was cold and cool into the water, pouring down on the quiet and deep Xuantian Peak. The small courtyard where Lin Yuqi lived was also full of moonlight. .

She sat at the table and took out the jade slip that communicated with the demon world.

After injecting spiritual energy, the jade slip slightly warmed up, and wrote with her finger: "Master, I will be able to go back to visit you in one month. Your old man is doing well recently."

The handwriting disappeared into the jade slip, and after a while, another line appeared:

"Not dead, don't disturb!"

Lin Yuqi smiled nonchalantly, since Shushu could still attack her like this, it seemed that nothing major had happened yet.

She raised her hand and was about to write when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The hoarse and hoarse voice of the real person Yucheng sounded: "Teacher quickly open the door."

Lin Yuqi immediately put away the jade slip, ran over to open the door, and called, "Master."

Yucheng let out a "hmm", walked to the table and sat down leisurely.

Lin Yuqi quickly poured him a cup of tea and put both hands in front of Yucheng: "Master, please use it."

The tea is warm and clear.

"You're so well-behaved." Yucheng took the teacup and took a sip. "Unlike my previous apprentices, none of them were obedient."

Yucheng squinted and seemed to fall into deep memories: "There is a female doll, and you are from the same hometown, and she refuses to be a teacher. I have something important to do, and I will never hear from you again."

He sighed: "Those apprentices! They are all gone, no one cares about this old man like me."

Lin Yuqi smiled awkwardly, thinking, the one who cares about you the most is still waiting outside the door, but you and him are afraid that there is no fate between master and apprentice.

After feeling sad, Yucheng remembered the reason why he came here.

"I heard that the chief sent you to the border between humans and demons to suppress the demons" He glanced at Lin Yuqi lightly.

"…hmmm."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you." Yucheng sighed meaningfully, took out a dark brown letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Yuqi.

"If you run into trouble, open this letter and you will find a solution." Yucheng said mysteriously with an unfathomable face.

Lin Yuqi saw that he was so serious about his affairs, so he hurriedly took the letter. This is a clever trick given by the boss, and it seems that it must be the key to customs clearance.

Master and apprentice chatted for a while, Yucheng yawned and left sleepily.

Lin Yuqi waited for him to walk away, and took out the jade slip, which was empty.

She touched the smooth jade face and muttered: "I should have fallen asleep, I still don't disturb Master."

—————————

In the Moon Burning Palace.

The walls of the pure black palace are painted with scenes of **** and violent battles, and broken limbs can be seen everywhere in the picture. The ground was covered with a thin purple blanket, embroidered with dark golden other side flower patterns, surrounded by lanterns with twinkling branches, flickering candles, and a half-draped dark purple gauze curtain, which faintly blocked the moonlight outside the window.

Shu Shu leaned on the high seat, and the black tulle was half-open and half-closed over her body, revealing her beautiful lines.

But none of the magic soldiers standing below dared to look up at such a beauty.

Shu Shu half-squinted her phoenix eyes, there was only bottomless black in her eyes, and she swept over the demon soldiers present one by one, and everyone who felt her gaze was all pale, battle.

"How many did you run?" The woman's red lips parted lightly, and a sinister voice resembling a viper echoed in the palace.

As soon as these words came out, the people below immediately fell to their knees, and the leader slammed his forehead to the ground, trembling and replied: "Report to Palace Master, run, run... ten ."

"Ten? Very good." Shu Shu grinned.

"Immediately order, the whole city to hunt down. If there is one less, I will throw you into the Fuxi fire to sacrifice to the sword."

Everyone immediately trembled and the voice should be yes, and turned to deploy the pursuit, daring not to be slighted.

—————————

In order to allow Chu Junli to get the trial quota after January, Lin Yuqi granted the privilege and brought him, an outer disciple, to the Lang Huan Pavilion of Tianzhao Sect.

Lang Huan Pavilion contains almost all the classics of the world of self-cultivation.

"Why are you here?" Chu Junli asked, standing in front of Lang Huan Pavilion, looking up at the quaint and solemn tall building.

Lin Yuqi showed his token to the guard, and after getting permission, he took Chu Junli to the pavilion.

While walking, he said: "The trial selection is divided into a written test and a fighting method. It is necessary to combine the two parts of the results to formulate a comprehensive ranking."

She looked at Chu Junli: "Your cultivation is a bit poor, but we can work harder on the written test."

On the first floor, there are many young disciples meditating, with a piece of jade slip floating in front of them, closing their eyes and holding their breath, waiting for the calm.

The classics that Lin Yuqi was looking for were all on the second floor, so she lightly walked towards the stairs in the corner.

Radiant.

The second floor is a more advanced reading room with separate compartments around it.

Chu Junli swept over the jade slips, and there was a hint of secret desire in his eyes: "Can I read all these books?"

He looked at Lin Yuqi deeply.

"As long as you are in the top ten, I will lend you my token." Lin Yuqi patted him on the shoulder, "This Langhuan Pavilion has ten floors, except for the top one. I don't have permission on that level, you can choose the rest of the books."

At this time, two female disciples passed by them, and when they saw Lin Yuqi, they stopped and called respectfully, "Uncle Lin."

Lin Yuqi nodded slightly.

The two girls couldn't help but cast their eyes on Chu Junli, glanced a few times and then left together.

Their whispers came from behind—

"I heard that the last time I was in Ziyunju, Uncle Lin fought with Xiaolinger because of him!"

"More than this, it is said that in the main hall of the sect, Elder Hua said something bad about the outer disciple, and Uncle Lin was so angry that he quarreled with him."

Lin Yuqi:…

Who spread this rumor and dared to slander Shishu? Is the task too few or the punishment too light!

The two female disciples talked for a long time, and finally sighed: "The outer disciple is really lucky. To be able to get such protection from Master, Master Lin is really affectionate and righteous."

Lin Yuqi: !

Your focus seems to be a bit biased

She quickly said to Chu Junli, "It's all gossip, don't take it to heart."

Chu Junli raised his eyebrows and eyes in a rare way, his eyes were deep, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Didn't you come to find books for me? Why stop here, eh?"

He deliberately gritted his voice: "Master, uncle"

For some reason, Lin Yuqi felt a little burning on her face, she pursed her lips, brushed off the strange thoughts in her mind, walked to the bookshelf stiffly, and took the book list she remembered in her mind. After buying a dozen jade slips, he walked to a free reading room in the corner and waved to Chu Junli.

The latter followed.

The two sat cross-legged opposite each other, and Lin Yuqi spread the jade slips he found all over the floor.

Surrounded by people using spiritual power to read jade slips, she raised a soundproof barrier and solemnly introduced these books to Chu Junli one by one.

Chu Junli also recovered his serious expression and listened carefully.

"This written test was written by five elders. I collected previous test questions, summarized the style of the questioners, and specially selected these books for you. As long as you read them all, the written test is absolutely fine. ."

"Oh?" Chu Junli frowned slightly, "So confident?"

Seeing this person questioning her test-taking ability, Lin Yuqi felt a little dissatisfied. Thinking that she was also the king who passed the four-year final week smoothly, and now that there is still a month before the written test, she will definitely be able to transform Chu Junli from a scumbag to a scholar.

"This is the "General History of Central Continent" compiled by Elder Han Yunlaifeng," Lin Yuqi picked up a jade slip and introduced, "He likes to examine the anecdotes of the heads of the past dynasties, as long as you The whole article is full of praise, and Elder Han will definitely give you a high score."

She turned to pick up the next piece.

"This one is the "Hundred Herbs Classic" written by Elder Su of Qiwufeng. Elder Su has a gentle personality and simple exam questions. Anyone who sees dangerous spiritual plants such as Destroying God Zhizhi and Demon Spirit Soul , skip it all without watching. Elder Su prefers the gentle and gentle Furong Ya and Yu Linling, you must remember it, and you can't miss a word."

After she finished saying this, she lowered her eyes and looked around, picked up a piece of jade slippery with golden light, held it up in front of Chu Junli, and said with all seriousness: "This piece The jade slip is the most important. It comes from the most brutal Elder Xiang of Tianzhao Sect."

"He specializes in alchemy, and the exam questions are based on this, but there are many changes and no set formula. You have to remember all the properties of elixir in the book, especially the last few courses on calculating the dosage of herbs Question, you have to be careful."

Chu Junli listened to her quietly, opened his lips and asked, "What is the use of the remaining jade slips?"

Lin Yuqi smiled slightly: "It's the question bank I collected, you'd better go through it all."

"Can you guarantee passing the written test just by doing these questions? Don't others also master these materials? How can you be among the best?" Chu Junli raised his eyebrows.

"They don't know this." Lin Yuqi shook her head mysteriously,

"Most of them came from a cultivating family, and they have read all kinds of classics since childhood, but they don't know that the authors are different. For the same knowledge point, the elders of Tianzhaozong and other great masters have different opinions. The same. Therefore, in previous written exams, many disciples' answers differed greatly from the elders' opinions, and they often didn't get high marks."

Chu Junli nodded and asked: "But in the battle field, I will still be eliminated, what should I do?"

Lin Yuqi was full of confidence and patted him on the shoulder: "don't be afraid of this, I'll help you."

The two then left the reading room. After she registered the jade slips one by one, she stuffed her head into Chu Junli's arms.

"Close."

Chu Junli gave a "hmm".

Lin Yuqi looked around, many disciples were quietly raising their heads, looking at their situation here, and after she glanced at them, they immediately lowered their heads as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yuqi silently made a note in her heart, and next time she must instigate the elders to assign more tasks.

After those uncomfortable prying eyes dissipated, she leaned to Chu Junli's ear: "Tonight, I will wait for you at Xuantian Peak, bring your pendant sword."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuqi glanced sternly for a week, until she saw that the teenagers buried their heads on the jade slip, then he rolled his sleeves coldly and turned to leave.

Chu Junli watched her go away, and the smile in Han Che's eyes grew stronger.

He walked to several female disciples not far away, so as a sign of embarrassment, he bit his lip and said, "I have disturbed you senior sisters, where is Xuantian Peak?"

The few female disciples looked curious when he approached him at first, and became puzzled after hearing him say this question.

One person asked: "Xuantian Peak does not allow outsiders to approach casually, why are you asking this?"

Chu Junli bowed his head slightly, with a bit of shyness and unnaturalness, and whispered: "Uncle Lin went to find him when he wanted my son, but he didn't say where Xuan Tianfeng was. I went there before. Yes, but in a hurry, I forgot how to go."

There was a faint blush on his pale cheeks, which made him wonder.

The senior sisters next to them clenched their fists, resisting the urge to howl.

Look at what this younger brother said.

Time! Lonely and widowed! Been there more than once!

Looking at this shy, hesitant young man's innocence, several senior sisters immediately flashed several thoughts that could not pass the trial.

Chu Junli smiled shyly and said goodbye politely.

I didn't care how my remarks later caused a huge wave among the young disciples of Tianzhao Sect.

—————————

In the evening, in the Wuwei Hall, young disciples who had not yet fasted sat at a long table, enjoying a not so delicious dinner.

At this point, gossip becomes a concoction in a boring dinner.

"Have you heard? Uncle Lin specially went to the Dragon Scale Pavilion this afternoon and picked up a lot of magic tools."

One person fiddled with the food in the bowl, opened his eyes wide, and said to the person next to him.

"Oh? Does Uncle Shi still lack magic tools? Master Yucheng must have prepared it for him long ago."

Everyone was a little surprised.

"That's not it," the person who posted the gossip half covered his mouth mysteriously, "I heard that the uncle took whips, chains, etc. These things are not easy to find. "

Everyone heard it clearly, looked at each other, and showed strange smiles one after another.

"Uncle Master really knows how to play!"

Going to the corner of Wuweitang, Chu Junli heard it word for word.

He naturally knew that Lin Yuqi didn't mean that. He deliberately said those words at Lang Huan Pavilion before, just to get closer to Lin Yuqi in front of outsiders.

After entering Tianzhao Sect, he had less and less time with Lin Yuqi. There were many men and women in the sect, and they were far apart. will become increasingly distant.

After these events, everyone believed that they were inextricably linked, which made him very satisfied.

However, hearing the low-pitched discussion of the people around him, and those strange remarks and descriptions creeping into his ears, Chu Junli has always been indifferent, and he couldn't help but redden the tips of his ears.

Even though I know it's fake, I have some expectations in my heart?
