It wasn't until seven or eight days later that the hawk went out again.

However, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the sky outside, and inevitably hesitated.

This time the eagle went out to look for food under the cover of night. When the eagle goes out to look for food, it usually only takes half a day to come back. This time it went out at night, I'm afraid it will come back at dawn tomorrow. And if you miss it,

Taking this opportunity, the next time the eagle goes out to look for food, I'm afraid it will be seven or eight days later.

However, it was already dark, how could he let Su Mo leave Qiyun Sect at night and travel alone in the barren mountains?

Therefore, after much thought, he decided to personally send Su Mo to the market not far away from the Qiyun Sect. Once there, he would just let her decide her own behavior. And he could also take advantage of this opportunity to refine the

The Xuanyin Pill was sent to Wanmiao Pavilion.

The plan was decided, so he went back to inform Su Mo and took her to prepare to go down the mountain.

Su Mo originally wanted to dress up as a male disciple like last time, but Ling Xiao felt that something was wrong. She had an innocent temperament, and her behavior would reveal the appearance of a woman from time to time. Therefore, instead of pretending to be a man and leaving flaws everywhere, it would be better

Just pretend to be a woman for convenience.

But there was no women's clothing in his residence, so he had to give her one of his daily clothes.

Su Mo had a petite figure and looked wide and bloated after putting it on. Fortunately, although it looked a bit funny, after the sleeves of the robe were tied up, it was still passable and it would not arouse any suspicion.

After seeing that she was properly dressed, Ling Xiao took her out of the residence.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the house, he ran into Feng Yi who had just returned. As soon as Feng Yi saw them coming out, she couldn't help but asked strangely: "Ling Xiao, it's so late, you still want to go out?"

Ling Xiao said "Hmm" and explained in a disguised manner, "Master Fu Ling ordered me to go out."

Although he was a little nervous, his behavior and demeanor could still be as normal as usual. But Su Mo behind him was much worse. When he saw Fengyi, he was startled and couldn't help but lower his head and dare not see anyone.

; When he saw her talking to Ling Xiao again, his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but hide behind Ling Xiao.

Fengyi didn't think much about it at first, but when she saw Su Mo's actions, she immediately became suspicious. She couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and she immediately realized that something was wrong——

Although she was wearing men's clothes, she was obviously a woman, and she was not very old, and her behavior was still a bit childish. And the most important thing was that she recognized the clothes she was wearing.

A common thing for Ling Xiao! Thinking back to the fact that they just came out of Ling Xiao's residence together, and they went out together so late...

I couldn't help but misunderstood... The more I thought about it, my face turned a little pale.

After all, it was getting dark, so Ling Xiao didn't notice the change in Feng Yi's expression, and was worried that Su Mo would look strange as time went on, so he said goodbye to Feng Yi and waved Su Mo away.

But they didn't notice that Feng Yi became so lost that she didn't even hear what he said...

Ling Xiao took Su Mo away from Laoyuan and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the latter's cowering look, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Aren't you very brave? You dare to break into our Qiyun Sect, why are you so timid now?

Already?"

Su Mo was immediately dissatisfied and defended himself: "Humph, who is afraid?"

But even though she said that, she didn't feel confident at all. But she vaguely felt that what she was afraid of was not that someone would find out that an outsider had broken into the Qiyun Sect, but that she seemed to be worried about being discovered with Ling Xiao.

It means something embarrassing and annoying.

After being quiet for a while, Jing Jing couldn't help but approach Ling Xiao and asked curiously: "Ling Xiao, is she interested in you?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but slapped her head away and explained, "What are you thinking about? We are brother and sister."

"They're not brothers and sisters!" Su Mo snorted dissatisfied.

These days, Ling Xiao often goes to Feng Yi's place, and she naturally hears Ling Xiao say a lot about Feng Yi. Ling Xiao is in the midst of it, unaware of it, and is not as clear as she is as a bystander.

…

Walked all the way down the mountain.

Although Su Mo had already made modifications, and there were more than a thousand outer disciples, and no one could possibly know them all, Ling Xiao still couldn't help but feel guilty.

Fortunately, it was already getting late, so we didn't meet too many outer disciples.

Soon we arrived at the bridge of Yunhu Lake, where several senior brothers were guarding. Qiyun Sect is usually guarded by two inner disciples and four outer disciples. The rewarded contribution points are also quite good, with one each every day.

Depositing 20 points and 10 points is more cost-effective than going to hunt monsters in the mountains. Of course, outer disciples are required to have a fifth level of Qi training.

At this time, Ling Xiao was already well-known in the sect. When he saw him from a distance, someone immediately recognized him and called him affectionately from a distance: "Senior Brother Ling Xiao."

Even with two inner disciples, he smiled and said proactively, "Junior Brother Ling, you still want to leave the sect at such a late hour?"

Although the Qiyun Sect does not prohibit its disciples from going out at night, the yin energy is strong at night and monsters appear frequently. Therefore, whether picking elixirs, hunting monsters, or even going out to the market, it is best to go out during the day.

Ling Xiao quickly smiled and said: "Master Fuling ordered me to go out and purchase some materials. The request was so urgent that I had to go out all night."

Several people were just asking casually, but after hearing his answer, an inner disciple was stunned and asked: "Master Fu Ling? Isn't it said that Master Fu Ling has gone into seclusion and is preparing to try to break through the third level of foundation building?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but jump in his heart, but he didn't expect that the news of Fuling's breakthrough would spread through the door. Su Mo's face behind him had turned pale, and his wide sleeves were slightly bulging.

The silver fox is hiding there...

Four outer sect disciples were at the fifth level of qi training, and two inner sect disciples, one was at the seventh level and the other was at the sixth level. When they faced each other head on, they had no chance of winning.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao reacted very quickly. While he quickly signaled secretly to stop Su Mo, he smiled as usual and said: "Uncle Fu Ling ordered me a few days ago. But I encountered some problems in my practice a few days ago.

It’s so troublesome that I’ve delayed it until today. I don’t dare to delay it any longer.”

The inner disciple was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "Junior brother Ling, go quickly. However, monsters appear more frequently at night, so you have to be more careful."

Ling Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly said: "Thank you, senior brother."

Then he took Su Mo and left quickly.

As they walked far away, they could still faintly hear their conversation, "How many years has it been since Master Fu Ling entered the second floor of Foundation Establishment? He is about to break through to the third floor of Foundation Establishment. This talent is really enviable.

ah."

Another person said: "Master Fu Ling's talent is nothing more than that. We have known it for a long time. But Junior Brother Ling Xiao was actually valued by Master Fu Ling and personally taught him the art of alchemy. If Junior Brother Ling can practice it in the future,

In order to reach the sixth level of Qi training and enter the inner sect, wouldn't it be possible to be accepted as a direct disciple by Uncle Fu Ling and inherit her mantle? This is an even more enviable opportunity."

Several people expressed their emotions one after another.

But speaking of it, they were envious and admirable for Ling Xiao's alchemy skills, but they couldn't learn them.

The direct disciples are the foundation-building elders in the Qiyun Sect. They accept disciples with excellent talents to inherit their own mantle. The number of direct disciples is much smaller than that of the inner disciples, and their status is much higher.

After all, the energy of the elders is also limited. At most one or two disciples are enough to inherit the mantle, and it is not easy to accept more. There are even many elders who, for the sake of their own immortality and to save time, refuse to accept any of them. This is also

This resulted in the number of direct disciples within the Qiyun Sect being even rarer than the elders in the sect's foundation-building period.

For example, under Fuling Seat, there is no direct disciple; Sima Dian only has his son Sima Chi, who can barely be regarded as a direct disciple; under Geng Xin, there are only two direct disciples, Huang Jian and Gong Yi.

There are already too many inside the door...

Generally, only when the elders in the foundation building stage feel that there is no hope of breakthrough and it is difficult to take another step forward, they will accept one or two to inherit the mantle.

As for Ling Xiao, although he is still only an outer sect disciple, everyone in the sect knows that Fu Ling values ​​​​him. Therefore, no one has any doubt that if Ling Xiao can enter the inner sect, he will definitely be accepted by Fuling.

Personal disciple. Therefore, even inner disciples who are not familiar with Ling Xiao will be polite to Ling Xiao.

After leaving Qi Yunzong so far away, Ling Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this trouble.

Su Mo also got rid of the illusion and regained his charming appearance in a goose-yellow dress. He held the silver fox in his arms, with a smile like a flower, skin like snow, bright and cute.

After leaving Qi Yunzong, she was no longer under pressure, and she immediately regained her eccentric temperament. She jumped up and down along the way, smiling and talking happily to Ling Xiao from time to time. In comparison, Ling Xiao was much quieter and more cautious.

.However, looking at Su Mo's lively and cute appearance, I only felt amused and had no idea how time was passing.

Together with Su Mo, although the speed was much slower, Ling Xiao felt that he arrived at the city faster than usual.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Su Mo what his future plans were.

Su Mo's pretty face suddenly drooped, and after a long while he said reluctantly: "I have already sent a message to my father. He asked me to stay here, and he will be here soon."

Even at night, there were still many monks in the market, so there was no need to worry about safety. Ling Xiao said goodbye to her and planned to go to Wanmiao Pavilion.

Su Mo reluctantly left.

Ling Xiao also felt a little reluctant to part with her, and comforted her with a smile: "If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will naturally have the opportunity to meet again."

Su Mo wrinkled her nose and snorted: "You are perfunctory with me. How can we meet each other so easily in Qiyun Sect?"

Ling Xiao sweated profusely and said quickly: "When I make some progress in my cultivation, I will consider leaving Qi Yun Sect to travel. I will go find you then."

Qiyun Sect's outer disciples have a certain limit on contribution points every month, so unless there are special changes, they generally will not leave the sect for too long. However, the inner disciples have many fewer restrictions, so many inner disciples,

When you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, or when you want to go out and travel, you will choose to go out for training.

Su Mo's tears turned into a smile, "My home is in Qingzhou, you must find me in the future!"

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement before saying goodbye to her and leaving.

Qingzhou has left the Qiyun Mountains and is about a few hundred miles to the east. It is an ancient city where many monks live. Senior Brother Huang Jian once mentioned that he would go there for a trip, as it is relatively close to the Qiyun Mountains.
