"Well done, good disciple." Vice President Shi praised Lan Changqing.
Lan Changqing gave him a blank look.
I also felt something was wrong, so I asked.
"Old man, why do you attach so much importance to that Zhou Nianqing? I'm afraid it's because of her that this time in the Spirit Cave has happened."
"Did I show it so obviously?" Vice President Shi said in surprise.
"I didn't say anything. I'm going to have a drink and sleep."
"Old man, just pretend."
Lan Changqing did not pursue the old man and ask questions this time.
When the participants in Lingdong learned that Wei Yi'an, Lou Zhenlu, and Zhou Nianqing were participating, they all withdrew from the competition.
This is obviously a sure win.
**
When entering the Spirit Cave, Zhou Nianqing glanced at Nan Ning, frightening the proud Nan Ning to the point of feeling guilty.
Zhou Nianqing was assigned to Lou Zhenlu and Wei Yi'an's group. Because there were few people, he was divided into groups of three.
As soon as Zhou Nianqing entered the cave, he said to the other two people: "You two act together, and I will meet you when it is almost over."
Wei Yi'an and Lou Zhenlu said in unison: "No."
Zhou Nianqing didn't care and left. Everything she walked through was covered in fog.
Wei Yian was still shouting from behind: "Nian Nian, don't leave me."
Lou Zhenlu glared at him.
Wei Yi'an also snorted and said seriously: "Since we can't find her in such a fog, let's compete first."
Lou Zhenlu: "Be careful around you."
Zhou Nianqing can no longer be seen from the outside world. There is heavy fog everywhere where she is. I don’t know what’s going on.
Lan Changqing didn't ask anything. He just said: "The game is as usual."
Zhou Nianqing said in a cold tone: "Big old man, come out."
An old man with gray hair appeared. The top hair was stuck with a wooden hairpin, and the lower hair was hanging loose. He was obviously 80 years old, but he looked like a 50-year-old man. He was dressed in gray clothes and wore a belt.
He wears tassels and a string of coral beads around his neck. He holds a cane in his hand.
"Xiao Ling'er, you are still so humorous. I am so young, but you want to call me an old man. How pitiful."
"You are pitiful. An 80-year-old man looks like a 50-year-old man, but you still have no shame."
"I'm much younger than that guy Shi Daojin."
"." "Did you make that fog?"
"No, what have you done recently? You scared that old man Shi Daojin so much that you gave away all the treasures he had collected for many years."
"Did not do anything."
"Maybe it's the lingering effects you left on him in the first place."
"."
"Why did you ask me to come here? I have nothing to say but nothing to say."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my temper is so bad. I started to lose my temper after saying a few words."
"In order to find me, you moved all the spiritual caves out."
"The demons are here too this time."
"Um."
"The secret of your body may no longer be hidden. You must be prepared for whatever comes next."
"Um."
"Ning'er is back too. Some people have already begun to speculate that you are still alive."
"Um."
"Future competitions will become more difficult. This is just the beginning."
"."
"Let me see your recent skills." Before he could finish his words, he slapped him with a palm.
Zhou Nianqing turned around and dodged. She knew he would do this, and it had never happened in the past few years.
He hit Zhou Nianqing on the leg again, but Zhou Nianqing dodged with a backflip.
Zhou Nianqing just said to fight back, but the old man disappeared. She sensed someone coming in from behind.
When he turned around, it was Wei Yian and Lou Zhenlu.
Wei Yi'an became excited when he saw Zhou Nianqing, "Niannian, you are here, we have been looking for you for a long time."
Lou Zhenlu, "." Listening to him speak, I had the urge to beat him up. I really couldn't understand the accent he spoke to Zhou Nianqing.
Zhou Nianqing: "You won the competition and defeated them all."
"No, we couldn't find the way out. We didn't see anyone along the way."
Zhou Nianqing immediately understood what the old man said, look at what you are capable of.
This is a competition to paralyze her.
Zhou Nianqing said coldly and arrogantly: "Let's go, this is not a competition."
Lou Zhenlu said calmly: "Let's see who can get out of the fog quickly."
"Roughly the same."
Wei Yi'an said to Zhou Nianqing in an unceremonious manner: "Niannian, let's go then."
Zhou Nianqing didn't stop Wei Yi'an from calling her Nian Nian when she heard him. Except for her aunt who called her Nian Nian when there were people around, she hadn't called her Nian Nian for a long time. Maybe she could get a feeling of closeness from him, after all, she was used to being cold. Very cold.
Few people can get close to their own hearts. It is difficult to have that close feeling.
Lou Zhenlu felt a little sad when he heard Wei Yi'an call Zhou Nianqing Niannian. He would rather call her Ling'er than Niannian.
What Zhou Nianqing didn't know was that the two men were secretly jealous because they called her by her familiar name.
No one was seen along the way. Wei Yian said.
Lou Zhenlu: "No, there shouldn't be anyone. Go back."
Zhou Nianqing said coldly: "I can't leave."
Shuteng spoke, "If you want to leave, stay with me."
Wei Yian said unceremoniously: "Who are you? You are so ugly and you still stay with you. Bah."
Lou Zhenlu said calmly: "Don't be head-on, let's see if we can discuss it." He used a volume that only two people could hear.
Zhou Nianqing tried hard to recall that he had never seen this tree demon in the spiritual cave before, and there was not so much mist before. If the old man wanted to test me, he couldn't wake up the tree demon. The old man just made the fog in order to see me.
The fog has not cleared yet, and it is obvious that someone has awakened the tree demon.
There are not many people here who can really wake up the tree demon. She can't think of who it is at this time.
When Wenren Xingzi, Nan Ning and others saw what was going on inside, they felt something was wrong. Suddenly, the situation inside could no longer be seen from the outside. Lan Changqing immediately reassured everyone. Don't worry that the people inside will be fine, don't make any noise and stay quiet.
.
Lan Changqing immediately went to find Shi Daojin.
After Shi Daojin heard this, he asked, "How could this happen? You go into the spiritual cave from my study to rescue them. This tree vine demon has been trapped for a hundred years, how come it came out this time?"
Shi Daojin thought that it couldn't be the dean who released him, and he couldn't. I'm sleepy, forget it, I'll go to bed first. After a sleep, I'll be fine.
Lan Changqing looked at the master who was snoozing and had a headache. Why was he chosen in the first place?
Lan Changqing ran to the study, looked at the open entrance to the spiritual cave, and thought it must have been opened by the master. This master is not useless.
As soon as he entered, he arrived at the place where Zhou Nianqing was trapped. Three people were fighting with the tree demon.
Zhou Nianqing wanted to use dream magic to make the tree vine demon enter the dream world, thus exposing his identity.
She finally chose not to use dream magic.
Lan Changqing used magic to create an illusion, making the tree vine demon think that he had tied Zhou Nianqing, Wei Yi'an, and Lou Zhenlu to the tree vine.
Lan Changqing took the three people away. When Zhou Nianqing saw Lan Changqing, he blurted out a low voice: "Second brother."
Lan Changqing didn't hear it, but Lou Zhenlu who was standing beside her heard it.
Lan Changqing took the three people to a safe place.
Lou Zhenlu: "Senior Brother Lan, why are you here?"
Lan Changqing said coldly: "Vice President Shi sent us to rescue you."
