The world in the mirror, Qintian Pavilion.

"Help take care of a spirit with the 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart'..."

"This doesn't look like a harsh condition, but more like a reward, right?"

When Pei Wende was thinking about what else was wrong with Zhao Guizhen's words, Xiao Qing, who had a very different personality from him, spoke with a sneer.

"Haha, taking good care of Linglong is not as easy as you think."

Not minding Xiao Qing's coldness at all, Zhao Guizhen just laughed, which seemed a bit kind to his current appearance.

"No matter how magical abilities Linglong possesses now, its essence is still a shadow."

"Once exposed to sunlight, Linglong will disappear."

Standing firmly on the spot without moving, the golden rusty Taoist robe on Zhao Guizhen's body began to flutter again.

"So if Linglong wants to leave here, she must hide in someone's shadow."

"And this person shouldn't have too many evil thoughts, otherwise it will be easy to lead Linglong astray."

It is not unimaginable how terrifying a spirit with a seven-orificed exquisite heart and near-immortality would be if he entered the devil's path.

Not to mention, Zhao Guizhen and Linglong still love each other as father and son, so naturally they cannot just sit back and watch their children go astray.

"If you put it this way, it can be explained."

Not sure whether she believed it or not, Xiaoqing narrowed her eyes and quickly speculated on the credibility of Zhao Guizhen's words.

However, no matter what assumptions and inferences Xiaoqing made, there was nothing wrong with Zhao Guizhen's rhetoric.

As for whether Pei Wende's acting style is in line with the "righteous way" described by Zhao Guizhen?

Xiao Qing, who has his own filter properties, has no doubt about this.

Even though Pei Wende acted recklessly and was called a blood-slaying monk by evil spirits, no one can deny whether his actions were based on justice.

Anyway, Xiao Qing thinks so, and she firmly believes that others must also think so.

"Of course, I entrust Linglong to you without any requirements at all."

Not knowing what Xiao Qing was thinking at this time, Pei Wende, who was thinking, heard Zhao Guizhen say this, and immediately opened his eyes wide, secretly saying that he was about to come.

"I knew it, do you have any additional conditions?"

Looking at Pei Wende's expression, Zhao Guizhen, who seemed to have seen through everything, just shook his head lightly.

As a qualified practitioner, it is true to maintain a certain degree of vigilance, but being too vigilant is a problem.

At this moment, in Zhao Guizhen's eyes, Pei Wende obviously had such a problem.

Excessive vigilance leads to distrust of the outside world, which will make him fall into trouble sooner or later.

However, Zhao Guizhen did not open his mouth to wake him up.

Because this is simply not a problem that can be solved in one or two sentences, and it is not my turn to help him solve this problem.

"To say there are additional conditions is a bit exaggerated..."

"I just want to confirm whether you have the same ability to take care of Linglong as your senior brother."

After a slight pause in his tone, Zhao Guizhen looked at Pei Wende and Xiaoqing who seemed a little confused, and finally made his final request.

"Pei Wende, let me see your growth!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"See my growth?"

Confused, surprised, stunned...

All kinds of complicated emotions were mixed together, and Pei Wende scratched his bald head in disbelief.

"You mean, you want to fight with me?"

To be honest, Pei Wende had thought about ten thousand possibilities behind this, but he never expected that Zhao Guizhen would ask to fight him at this time.

"I will leave this child Linglong to your care. Naturally, I want to see how strong you are now."

With a slight smile on his lips, Zhao Guizhen said this, but the fleeting fighting spirit in his eyes had exposed his true thoughts.

[There is something wrong with this guy, he is probably not the real Zhao Guizhen! 】

At this moment, Xiao Qing's voice quietly sounded in Pei Wende's heart, and she was obviously aware of Zhao Guizhen's fleeting fighting spirit.

As Pei Wende's predecessor, he once dominated the strongest man of an era.

No matter what, Zhao Guizhen should not have such a strong fighting spirit towards his juniors. This completely goes against his personality.

【I think...I probably know.】

Looking at Zhao Guizhen standing proudly across from him, Pei Wende suddenly smiled as he realized something.

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

Putting his hands together in front of his chest and nodding, Pei Wende spoke in Xiaoqing's surprised eyes.

"It just so happens that this junior also wants to know how far behind I am from my seniors after the battle in Chang'an."

Seeing this situation, Xiao Qing, who had already realized something, immediately calmed down and began to pay full attention to Zhao Guizhen opposite.

"So good!"

There was calmness and fighting spirit in his eyes at the same time. At this moment, Zhao Guizhen no longer cared about Xiaoqing's prying eyes.

Now he is only looking forward to the next battle and how far Pei Wende can grow in just a few years.

"Then, let's start with the basics!"

Pei Wende just took a step back.

The entire space of the Linglong Pagoda spread out endlessly, forming a huge and empty space in a very short period of time.

In comparison, Pei Wende and Zhao Guizhen, surrounded by bookshelves and books, were as small as ants.

However, neither Pei Wende nor Zhao Guizhen paid attention to the changes in the nearby environment.

Because this nine-story exquisite pagoda originally contained infinite space, but now it is just playing its true role.

"I heard that when I was young, my senior was famous all over the world for his 'talisman sword technique'."

"I know that this junior also has the unique skill of 'Flying Sword'. I hope that my senior will be willing to teach me."

While talking, Pei Wende had already removed two long pieces of wood from a nearby bookshelf.

Then I saw the surface of the two long pieces of wood glowing with a glaze color, as if they were recast and shaped by some invisible force, and soon turned into two long swords that exuded crystal luster.

"The name of the sword is 'Crystal', and it is forged using the 'carbon to diamond method'. It is stronger than any weapon in the world."

In Zhao Guizhen's surprised eyes, Pei Wende casually threw one of the crystal swords to him.

For today's Pei Wende, forging such an ordinary weapon without spirituality is not difficult at all, and it does not take much effort at all.

Seriously!

Instinctively he took the crystal sword thrown by Pei Wende.

Before Zhao Guizhen could make any reaction, the other crystal sword in Pei Wende's hand suddenly floated in the air and started spinning.
