After hearing Ji Lai's introduction, Mu Hanxue did not answer immediately, but lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
The woman looked noncommittal, and it was inconvenient to say anything more. She could only sit at the table and quietly sip tea like she did.
After a long while, Mu Hanxue suddenly sighed softly, put down the teacup in her hand, and said, "Master Ji, Master Liang, as far as I know, both of them arrived at Wushuang City not long ago, right?"
Ji Lai didn't understand why she asked such a question, but he still nodded and said, "That's right, I've only been in Wushuang City for less than ten days."
Mu Hanxue smiled softly and said: "The two fellow Taoists have only been in Wushuang City for ten days, but the little girl arrived a hundred days ago. The so-called preparation for a rainy day, I have been in Wushuang City for so long, and I have secretly
After observing a lot of candidates who came to apply, I found that this time the selection and assessment was like a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There were more than 70 monks in the late stage of the Golden Core alone! Not to mention those who had reached the peak of the Golden Core and had unfathomable magical powers.
A great master."
As soon as she said this, Ji Lai's brows could not help but frown slightly, as if he realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mu Hanxue was heard saying lightly: "Young lady, you might as well say it straight. The monks participating in the selection test this time are all extraordinary in strength, and now there are many people joining forces, such as the 'Tiansha Grandma'
'He Ling formed a team with Xiao He, the eldest disciple of Wuwei Dao Sect, and Shen Luohua, who has returned to the same sect."
"These people all have late-stage Jindan cultivation, and their magical powers are also unfathomable. Although Mr. Ji and Mr. Liang are very talented, their training time is too short after all. There is little hope of passing this selection test."
What she said was quite tactful. She only said that Liang Yan and Ji Lai had only been practicing for a short time. In fact, it meant that their cultivation level was not high enough. The heroes participating in the competition this time should at least have the cultivation level of the late Jindan stage.
, are qualified to compete for the few city disciples.
Although he didn't say it clearly, once he said this, it was equivalent to rejecting Ji Lai's invitation.
Ji Lai had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. You should know that not long ago, he had boasted in front of Liang Yan that Mu Hanxue would definitely agree to form a team, but he didn't expect that the other party would refuse so simply.
"Xianzi Mu, this friend of mine is not an ordinary middle-stage golden elixir. With his magical power, he can definitely match the monks in the late-stage golden elixir. If you don't believe it, you can even fight him with two moves." Ji Lai explained hurriedly.
After hearing this, Mu Hanxue smiled slightly and had no intention of testing her. She just shook her head and said:
"Young master Ji, there is no need to say more. In this selection test, before entering Wushuang City, everyone thinks that they have extraordinary powers and can challenge their opponents. But it is only when you meet those perverts that you realize how many perverts there are today.
Gao, I was so superficial before."
When she said this, there was a trace of apology on her face, and she continued: "You two young masters, don't take it to heart. The little lady did not mean to belittle this fellow Daoist Liang, it is just the fact. The little lady should wake you up as soon as possible.
Don’t invest too much in this assessment, and you will be more disappointed when the time comes.”
When Ji Lai heard this, his face turned dark and he turned to look at Liang Yan, fearing that he would flip the table in anger.
However, to his surprise, Liang Yan's face was calm at this moment, and he didn't look angry at all. Instead, he sipped tea leisurely, nodded and said: "Xianzi Mu speaks frankly and from the bottom of her heart. She seems to have a temperament."
For this selection and assessment, Liang is just trying his best and doesn’t have much confidence. He really shouldn’t disturb Fairy Mu.”
"this"
When Ji Lai heard what Liang Yan said, he couldn't help but sigh softly and thought to himself: "This Mu Hanxue doesn't even try our magical powers. It seems that she doesn't like us at all. Oh, she is really
He was right, and this time he returned without success."
Just when Ji Lai was sighing in his heart, Mu Hanxue suddenly smiled again and then said:
"Young Master Ji, don't be discouraged. If you really want to form a team with the little girl, there is not the slightest chance."
Her smile was like a spring breeze turning into snow. She had just been at the point of despair. But now when she saw this touching smile, she understood that things were turning around and she immediately cheered up again.
"Fairy please tell me clearly!" Ji Lai cupped his hands and said.
"Actually, the little girl already has a candidate for the team. This person's magical power is extraordinary and can compete with those talented monks. Now we only lack a teammate like Brother Ji. You are a fake idiot.
"As the successor of Shen Sanchi, you will definitely have a place to perform in this assessment." Mu Hanxue said slowly.
As soon as she said this, Ji Lai's expression changed quickly, but Liang Yan still lowered his head to sip the tea, seemingly not surprised by the incident.
"Xianzi Mu, you mean to separate Brother Liang and me and then form a team with you?" Ji Lai asked with a strange expression.
"good!"
Mu Hanxue nodded and said: "I will speak frankly. In fact, with the cultivation level of the two of you, it is almost impossible to form a team and pass this assessment. Especially, although Brother Liang is very talented, he is just a man after all.
He has just advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and his fighting ability is definitely not as good as those monsters in the late Golden Core stage. I suggest that he practice for a few more years and wait until he breaks through to the late Golden Core stage before taking part in the selection assessment in Wushuang City."
"As for Brother Ji, although you are both in the middle stage of Jindan, I have heard about the methods of Shen Sanchi for a long time. Now I have strong support. If you add your secret skills to assist us, we will have a high chance of passing this."
It’s the first test!”
She spoke slowly and slowly, looking at Ji Lai's reaction as she spoke, as if she wanted to know what the other person was thinking.
However, Ji Lai became quiet at this time.
If he was a little cautious just now, for fear of offending the beauty, now he is extremely calm, as if what he said before has nothing to do with him.
When Mu Hanxue finished speaking, the entire pavilion was silent for a moment.
After a long time, he saw the trick and raised his head, smiled softly and said:
"Xianzi Mu was joking. My little tricks as a master are totally unacceptable. I thought about it carefully just now and found out that what Fairy Mu said is true. With our two middle-stage golden elixir realms, we really shouldn't be able to reach such high levels.
Fairy Mu, I’ve been too abrupt this time, so I’d better leave here and not disturb Fairy Qingxiu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Liang Yan stood up from the stone table at the same time, slightly arched their hands towards Mu Hanxue, and were about to say goodbye and leave.
"etc!"
Mu Hanxue's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously stood up from the stone table and called to the two people who had left the pavilion.
"Master Ji, have you really thought about it? If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone. If you team up with this monk who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, there is no hope of passing this assessment."
"Thank you, Fairy Mu, for reminding me!" Ji Lai laughed and said, "Brother Liang and I are old acquaintances, and there is no way we will abandon him. Besides, Brother Liang is not as unbearable as you said, but you are the one who wants to see him go this time.
Blind!"
After he left these words, he walked out of the bamboo forest without looking back. As for Liang Yan, he just smiled slightly and without saying a word from beginning to end, he turned around and followed Ji Lai out.
After the two people left, the entire bamboo forest became quiet again.
Mu Hanxue looked at the direction they were leaving, the expression on her face changing. After a long while, she sighed softly and sat down again.
A guqin was placed in front of her, but Mu Hanxue had no intention of playing it.
I don't know how long it took, but in the quiet bamboo forest, a chuckle suddenly came, and then someone said in the dark: "I heard that the person who came to this plan is quite romantic, but I didn't expect that he could resist Fairy Mu's attack."
Temptation, it seems that this person is not simple."
Mu Hanxue was not surprised at all by this sudden sound, but instead showed a hint of coquettishness.
"It's not you. You insist on asking me to pull this trick off. You're just a monk who has just entered the middle stage of the golden elixir. I don't know what you like about him?"
"Hey, you don't know that his master Shen Sanchi is not a simple person. This person is useful to me. If not, I would be reluctant to let you come forward to win over him." The voice in the bamboo forest smiled softly, and then a black man came out
Robed monk.
This man was tall and thin, with a sallow complexion, and was wearing a black robe. He strode into the pavilion without any scruples, and directly embraced Mu Hanxue into his arms.
Unexpectedly, Mu Hanxue, who was originally as cold as an iceberg, did not struggle at all. Instead, she leaned gently into his arms like a bird clinging to a human.
"Friend, do you know how much I have sacrificed for you? It was you who asked me to befriend Mr. Lin on purpose, and then I got that thing for you. Now you ask me to win over Mr. Ji, you
Do you still have me in your heart?"
When she said this, her whole face was buried in the other person's arms, as if she was very attached to this person.
"Silly girl, you are my thorn in the side! Didn't we agree before? When I finish my work, we will practice dual cultivation together. If you help me a few more times, we can fly far away!"
The purple-robed man's voice was extremely gentle. He patted Mu Hanxue's heart as he spoke, as if coaxing a child.
"You said, don't regret it when the time comes!" Mu Hanxue blinked, her face filled with happiness, as if she was extremely satisfied.
If there were other monks present at this time, they would be shocked and speechless.
You must know that Mu Hanxue is a stunning beauty who was ranked in the "Hundred Spring Book", and has always been known for her coldness, but now she is throwing herself in a man's arms like a kitten, and she still looks like a little woman. It is simply unbelievable. .
However, Liang Yan and Ji Lai could no longer see this scene.
At this moment, under the leadership of the female nun in blue, they had walked out of the "Next Mountain Residence" house and returned to the mountain road.
"Brother Ji, I can't tell. With your character, you would actually refuse Mu Hanxue's invitation to form a team!" Liang Yan had been silent in the pavilion for a long time, but now he spoke with a smile.
"snort!"
Ji Lai rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Brother Liang, in your eyes, Ji is not a person who is unjust and unjust, right?"
"Eh? Isn't it?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
Ji Lai knew that he was teasing her, so he didn't bother to argue. He just said with a puzzled look on his face: "This Mu Hanxue is a little strange. She seems to have known that I would come."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"The spices in the pavilion, the music scores used for playing, and the spiritual tea brewed for us all used Ji's favorite type. I didn't notice it when I was in there just now, I just felt that everything around me was very comfortable. I almost fell for this woman in my daze. Looking back now, I realize that this matter is by no means simple!"
"So many coincidences put together are obviously carefully arranged. It seems that this Fairy Mu has a special liking for you. By leaving, won't you let down other people's good intentions?" Liang Yan said with a smile.
Ji Lai shook his head and sighed softly: "Brother Liang, please stop making fun of me. I'm afraid it's not a good intention, but another agenda, right?"
Hearing this, Liang Yan also stopped joking and looked beyond the many walls of the "neighboring mountain residence", seeming to look into the deepest part of the bamboo forest. After a long while, he nodded and said seriously:
"Indeed, this Mu Hanxue is not simple, and the ally she found is not an easy person either."
When Ji Lai saw him squinting at the "neighboring mountain dweller", he thought he was unwilling, so he could only console him: "Brother Liang, don't be disappointed. This woman doesn't know your magical powers. We can find someone else to form a team. Hmm. The 'Golden Lantern Arhat' who ranks fourth among the five major casual cultivators is quite good. Although this person has a weird personality, he is not completely hopeless."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to seal the secret, and was about to drive the escape light to leave the place, but was grabbed by Liang Yan behind him.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Lai turned his head in confusion.
"Don't leave yet, there may be a good show to watch."
A mysterious smile appeared on Liang Yan's face, and then he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and a gray light swept the two of them, and they disappeared on the mountain road at the same time in just an instant.
After the two people disappeared, there was no movement on the empty mountain road. Time passed little by little, and it was already late at night in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the moon was setting in the atrium, and the bright moonlight was shining down like flowing water, falling into the courtyard of "Next Mountain Residence", adding a sense of mystery to the originally quiet environment.
On a cliff not far from "Next Mountain Residence", two people were sitting cross-legged.
One of them was wearing a white robe, dressed as a scholar, shaking a folding fan gently in his hand, and suddenly asked: "Brother Liang, what do you mean by good show? Why is there no movement yet?"
The man next to him, wearing a gray gown, was sitting cross-legged like him. He smiled slightly and said:
"Brother Ji, don't be impatient. If you want to watch a good show, what can you do if you don't have the patience."
Before this person finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion in the "Lingshan Residence" below, and the faint sound of dragons and tigers roaring could be heard, and then a white rainbow rose into the sky, without stopping at all, and went straight to the mountain.
Fly away.
"The show has begun!" the man in gray chuckled softly.
Thanks to: Xiaokaikai for the 4,500-point reward, and thanks to: Ye Shenpinyu for the 10,500-point reward!
