Somewhat accustomed to the cute and silly expression of Mei Jiangxue's youngest daughter, Lin Yan smiled reluctantly, and then he felt embarrassed when he thought of the recent news about the two people in Xiaoshui City.
"I'll go make tea."
As soon as Mei Jiangxue sat at the small stone round table in the courtyard, Lin Yan couldn't sit still and hurried into the house to make tea.
Finally, when the two of them sat opposite each other, the awkward atmosphere was much more dissipated, and Lin Yan returned to his usual appearance.
"Miss Jiangxue has something to ask me for?"
Mei Jiangxue slightly pointed her head, looked at Lin Yan and said, "I'm going to recommend you."
A seemingly mindless sentence immediately made Lin Yan understand.
And because of understanding this sentence, Lin Yan almost swallowed the hot tea sent to his mouth in one gulp!
How precious is the recommended quota? He naturally understood that Mei Jiangxue didn't use this quota to recommend Qingwu Sect's disciples. Fortunately, many of the city-wide competitions brought back honors to Qingwu Sect, but they were used to recommend themselves?
Of course Lin Yan didn't believe that this was just a joke from Mei Jiangxue. In fact, when Mei Jiangxue asked about it the day before yesterday, Lin Yan understood that it was Mei Jiangxue helping him. He wanted to try to persuade him.
Mei Jiangxue must have paid a lot of money for the elders of Qingwu Sect to give him a precious quota.
Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart. Although he also understood that from Mei Jiangxue's cautious expression, he probably came to him this time not only to inform him of this news, but also some other things, such as, he was just a waste of time.
After getting this quota, he became the lucky one who could enter the final competition. Should he do something for Qingwu Sect in turn?
Mei Jiangxue is a smart person, so she also knows that Lin Yan is a smart person. At the moment, she didn't go around any circle and said directly: "But the condition for you to become a recommended person is to join my Qingwu Sect and become a Qingjue Master.
My uncle's disciples represent me in the city-wide competition."
When she said this, Mei Jiangxue was uneasy, because she was afraid that Lin Yan would refuse rudely and arrogantly, but to her surprise, until she finished speaking, Lin Yan still sat upright opposite him, and even
Yu, he didn't even put down the teacup he held in his hand.
"Lin Yan, tell me what you think."
However, Mei Jiangxue was not so naive that she thought Lin Yan was uncontrollable. She understood Lin Yan.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Jiangxue." Lin Yanqing said coldly.
Mei Jiangxue sighed in her heart. Regardless of whether Lin Yan's reaction was fierce or cold, it had already shown that Lin Yan directly rejected the proposal.
"Why?"
But Mei Jiangxue still wanted to ask the reason. It seemed that her two days of hard work and dedication finally achieved this, but the man opposite her easily denied it with just one sentence, which made her feel very wronged and sad.
"Miss Jiangxue, I know you must have paid a lot to help me get this place. I am very grateful to you, but I can only appreciate your kindness and cannot accept it. If I insist on telling the reason, I will only
I can say that I don’t like being bound, especially in this kind of trading-like environment. I lived in Xia Mansion for ten years and worked as a choreographer for a whole decade. Now, I want to be myself.
.”
Mei Jiangxue's expression was normal when she first heard it. After all, Lin Yan finally understood her good intentions, but when Lin Yan talked about the word "trading", she felt a little angry.
"After all, you think you have to rely on the help of Qingwu Sect to enter the final competition. The condition proposed by Qingwu Sect is a kind of alms to you. For you, participating in this way is a shame.
Yes or no?"
Mei Jiangxue was angry and asked questions.
"Yes, that's how I think." Lin Yan admitted openly, "I have nothing to do with Qingwu Sect itself, and I can't talk about any goodwill, but for this competition, I have to join the school, and I can't do it.
, This not only concerns my face, but also involves my dignity. If I rely on this to obtain the competition, I refuse to accept it and would rather participate in the knockout round."
After hearing this, Mei Jiangxue simply sneered and said, "I guess you know that you can't pass the knockout stage! As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not care about the details. You are eager to become the top ten young masters to enter the Tiandi City, but you ask yourself
I just know that if you lose the qualifications of the recommender this time, can you succeed? I only know that whether it is face or dignity, sometimes it is empty, and you have to pay another price for the realization of a certain purpose!"
Mei Jiangxue said tit-for-tat, and she didn't know why she was so excited today. Perhaps she was angry at Lin Yan's refusal, which was a sign of regret.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Mei Jiangxue to react so fiercely. It took a long time to break the silence.
"Miss Jiangxue, I admit that your words make sense, but no matter whether it is related to my freedom, face or dignity, I cannot accept such conditions, and I cannot join Qingwu Sect. Let me tell you the truth, once I do not want to do so.
After joining Qingwu Sect and becoming a disciple of Qingwu Sect, I can only use Xiaoshui City as the focus of my life. However, if I have the chance, I will leave Xiaoshui City, which is not a place I should stay for a long time.
”
Lin Yan finally explained the most important reason for refusing to enter Qingwu Sect. He wanted to return to Tiandi City and seek justice from the Lin family, so he could only act alone. If Qingwu Sect stands behind him, if he faces danger, he may be afraid Qingwu
The door will be implicated, which is what Lin Yan is worried about, but he just didn't say it in front of Mei Jiangxue.
When Mei Jiangxue heard Lin Yan say that Xiaoshui City was not his place to live for a long time, a faint feeling of loss surged in her heart. Then she thought about what Lin Yan said, and had to admit that Lin Yan said it was reasonable.
If you really become a disciple of Qingwu Sect, especially Qingjue's disciple, it means that you have to do many aspects in the future according to the requirements of the master. Lin Yan considers it from his standpoint, which is indeed true.
"But, are you wasting this opportunity in vain?"
Lin Yan smiled and asked back, "What else can you do?"
Mei Jiangxue was stunned. Knowing that if Lin Yan rejected this proposal, Master Qingjue and Master Tianxuan would definitely not relax their conditions, so she had to give up the matter.
Thinking of this, Mei Jiangxue sighed and said, "Then you should cancel your registration. In one month, it will be difficult for you to be strong enough to win the competition with others."
Lin Yan shook his head and insisted on his own ideas. "I have signed up, and I will definitely participate in the knockout round. Even if I fail, I have tried hard after all. Miss Jiangxue, I really want to thank you this time, and helped me for the recommendation.
so much."
Mei Jiangxue smiled absent-mindedly, stood up and prepared to say goodbye: "I will tell the leader of your decision. The same thing is, if you have anything to do, just go to Qingwu Mountain to find me. This time I didn't help you, your life-saving
I can only keep my kindness in the future and find opportunities to repay it.”
Lin Yan sent Mei Jiangxue out of the yard.
Then, Mei Jiangxue continued to run, and her graceful figure jumped on the countryside, like a lively butterfly.
Lin Yan looked at it for a while, and it was not until Mei Jiangxue turned a corner and could no longer see her figure.
Walking back to the round table of Xiaoshi, he looked at a bowl of half-drink tea opposite him, sat on the stone bench, missing his beautiful face, but then smiled bitterly. At present, cultivation is the most important thing, and in terms of emotions, he really only
Can not consider it for the time being.
Lin Yan didn't think about how Qing would react. He stayed in the countryside yard for three consecutive days and practiced hard.
The focus of cultivation is naturally still vitality. As for martial arts, except for those sword moves I learned in Xia Mansion, Lin Yan did not contact any other ones. First, he did not introduce martial arts moves, and second, he mainly needed to improve his skills.
The level of vitality should be achieved earlier than the Transcendence Realm.
The knockout round will begin in a month. Although he knows that the chance of winning is not great, he still wants to take a try. As long as he can pass this level, he can make a lot of progress in the remaining nine months and become the new Xiaoshui City Ten.
It is not impossible for a young master to be aware of it.
After these three days of hard practice, he felt that he had made some progress in the eighth level of the innate realm. Although he still did not touch the barrier at the peak of the eighth level, he thought that it would not take long to complete the breakthrough.
After three days of practice, Lin Yan just used up all the rice and oil at home, so he thought of going to the market to buy some back, and then went to Tieniu's house to chat.
When I walked to the street near the pier, I suddenly heard someone talking nearby, saying that Niutou Mountain seemed to be moving again, just like an earthquake broke out. Several sects in Xiaoshui City had already rushed to Niutou Mountain to find out what they were going.
Lin Yan immediately stopped, listened for a while and asked again, and finally confirmed that the news was not groundless.
Lin Yan hurried back, ran back to the courtyard and wore the long sword on his body, and then walked towards Niutou Mountain.
Little, Lin Yan felt that the unusual appearance of Niutou Mountain again should be related to the long sword in the cave with only a silver sword hilt exposed.
Mei Jiangxue once said that the corridor is a sealed place, and the stone cave is another independent sealed place in this seal, and the sealing level is higher. Perhaps the last time the inexplicable sword formation exploded, it caused the insertion.
The change of the sword in the stone wall caused the seal to loosen, and thus, the sealed unknown things began to be ready...
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Yan naturally remembered the scene that happened when Mei Jiangxue and stared at the silver sword hilt with him that day.
At that time, he glanced at the silver hilt, but he felt that the sword had come out of the stone wall and lived, and brought him a psychological chill.
Lin Yan felt that it was necessary to go to the stone cave again.
Carrying the ordinary steel sword, Lin Yan did not go directly to Niutou Mountain from Xiaoshui City like others, but chose to go to Qingyang Town first, then follow the river to the waterfall entrance, and then drill into the woods toward the memory.
The one in the middle helped him get rid of the pursuit of the Xia Mansion, and there were several caves hidden by pine trees around him.
