Huo Cheng and Lin Xi were walking on the streets of Tengyang City, but at this moment, the sides of the streets seemed much deserted compared to the previous few days.
Most people went to the square to watch the rare qualification selection, so at this time, Tengyang City rarely had some silence.
This is indeed a very good thing for Lin Xi, who is by nature interested in quietness. At this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Lin Xi, I don't know where you are from." Just after the two of them walked for a while, Huo Cheng's voice sounded, breaking the silence between them. Huo Cheng was always very curious about this question.
After hearing the other party’s question, a touch suddenly appeared in Lin Xi’s heart. He also had remembrance of the hometown that he had been away for a long time.
But Lin Xi certainly would not tell the other party the truth. After pondering for a while, he spoke: "A remote small town is not worth mentioning."
Upon hearing this, Huo Cheng turned his head and looked at the other party without asking any more questions, but he became more and more curious. He knew that the other party did not want to tell where he grew up, but in his opinion, that place should not be too simple.
However, Huo Cheng was wrong this time. Lin Xi was just a child from an ordinary family. Not to mention his own talent, his strength was completely achieved after experiencing many hardships and life and death.
For the belief in my heart and the deep softness in my heart, Lin Xi has been working hard, no matter whether he can do what he wants to do in the future, but at least, he has worked hard by himself.
After turning a street, Lin Xi suddenly asked, "Senior Huo, why haven't you seen the Qin family and Dong family who came to participate in the selection?"
Lin Xi had a little attention before, but did not notice Dong Yan and the boy named Qin Yu. This made him very surprised. In his opinion, there were two huge families like the Qin family and the Dong family behind him, and their strength and talent should not be too low.
Hearing Lin Xi’s question, Huo Cheng smiled slightly and explained: “You don’t know that the Qin Dong family and the Zhang family are both the person in charge of this qualification selection, so some of their outstanding children, as long as they meet the selection requirements, can be exempted from these assessments and directly participate in the final knockout round.”
"It's OK?" After hearing the other party's words, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel speechless. Isn't this obviously going through the back door?
"Haha, there's no way. Who made them try to draw a lot of strength for this selection? Besides, they are not pushing some people who fail to meet the requirements. Those who can participate in the final knockout round are not some fuel-efficient lights."
Huo Cheng smiled and continued to explain.
"Isn't this nonsense? Will they let some garbage go up and throw their family's face?" Lin Xi curled his lips.
"It's true. Although you don't say it nicely, it's the truth." Huo Cheng turned his head slightly and looked at the boy beside him with a smile.
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing more. If she had an excellent background, she would indeed have a good springboard. But if she was not successful, the final result would only become one of the members of the crowd. Lin Xi believed in this.
Therefore, although he maintains a certain respect for some outstanding children trained by the so-called powerful families, he does not be too afraid or envious of them.
Looking at the indifferent touch on the boy's face, Huo Cheng, who was beside him, nodded in his heart. No matter how talented his talents are, his final achievements will not be too low.
The two of them didn't say anything. After turning a street, Lin Xi walked forward and looked around, and suddenly felt that the place was very familiar.
"Isn't this the street in Wumen?"
Lin Xi thought in her heart, and after more than a month of traveling back and forth from the inn to the Wumen, Lin Xi was already very familiar with this place.
He looked at Huo Cheng next to him suspiciously, and Lin Xi suddenly realized that the other party's face had become solemn when he arrived at this place.
With deep doubts, Lin Xi continued to follow the other party forward, and he was getting closer and closer to the Wumen.
Huo Cheng next to him finally stopped. At this time, Lin Xi was shocked to find that the place where he was standing was actually a martial arts sect.
Turning his head to look at Huo Cheng next to him, Lin Xi found that the other party's expression had become extremely serious when he arrived at this place, as if the person he was about to meet occupied a very important position in his heart.
Lin Xi's heart suddenly broke out. He was not a fool. The one who impressed him in the martial arts gate was the old man who had been sitting at the fourth stone gate.
"Come in with me." Huo Cheng turned his head and said, then stepped in.
Lin Xi, who was behind him, hurriedly following with a look of guesswork on her face.
At this time, the Martial Gate had obviously become very deserted compared to before. There was no one in the hall. Except for the old man next to the fourth stone gate, there was no one else in the other place.
Things were indeed exactly the same as Lin Xi thought. Huo Cheng's steps stopped beside the fourth stone gate, and Lin Xi behind him also stopped immediately. The look of doubt in his eyes when he looked at the old man in front of him was getting deeper and deeper.
"Master." Huo Cheng looked at the old man in front of him, bowed slightly, and said a word that surprised Lin Xi.
"Master? Is this old man his master?"
Lin Xi looked at Huo Cheng in front of him in amazement, and his eyes kept moving between Huo Cheng and the old man. Based on Lin Xi's previous guess about Huo Cheng, the opponent's strength was at least the sword saint, but this old man was actually his master!
So what is this old man's strength? Who is he? Why is he here?
Lin Xi had too many doubts in his heart at this time, and he urgently hoped that someone could answer it for him.
"Uh...ah, it's you...why are you..." As if you heard the voice from outside, the old man half-lying on the chair opened his eyes slightly, looked at Huo Cheng in front of him, but at this time the figure of Lin Xi next to him had already entered his gaze.
“Huh?”
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, looked at Lin Xi in confusion, and said, "Why are you here? Haven't you participated in the qualification selection?"
After hearing the old man's words, Huo Cheng looked at Lin Xi next to him in confusion, and then turned his head carefully and asked the old man: "Master, do you... know each other?"
"Of course I know this guy. I have been in this place for more than a month. How can I not know him?"
The old man turned his gaze to Huo Cheng on the side, and while speaking, he pointed to the stone door behind him.
"Ah? Lin Xi has been practicing at the fourth stone gate?" Huo Cheng glared at Lin Xi in disbelief. This young man really surprised him too much.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, what's wrong? Why did you bring him here?"
Lin Xi didn't say anything, and the old man beside him waved his hand and asked.
"Ah? Oh, that's right. Didn't you tell me before that if you discover a young swordsman whose talent meets your requirements, would you please bring me..."
Hearing the old man's question, Huo Cheng quickly came back from his shock and said with a slight bow.
"Oh?" The old man's eyes lit up, he leaned forward, and looked at Lin Xi next to him with some joy, saying, "This kid's talent is the Five Swords Holy Sea? I'll just say it! I've long seen this kid have this material!"
The old man clapped his hands and said happily. He had been very excited about the boy who often went to and from the Fourth Stone Gate. Now it seems that the other party did not disappoint him.
"Master...Master." Huo Cheng said hesitantly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" The old man turned his head and looked at Huo Cheng who was talking in confusion.
"His talent is not the Five Swords Holy Sea..."
"Isn't it the Five Swords Holy Sea?" The old man's face was disappointed.
Looking at the old man who suddenly felt a little lost in front of him, Huo Cheng took a light breath and a solemn voice slowly rang out.
"This young man's talent is the Six Sword Emperor Sea!"
