This backstage is really hard.

Outside the Vulture fairy gatehouse there was a crowd of people, and most of the disciples, who had just attended the ceremony and were still in a state of excitement, came to the gate with the intention of watching the show.

"The white-bearded, dark-robed one on the right I know, he's the head of the Qi Mountain Sect."

"And that orange-robed one is none other than the first on the list of rising stars in the cultivation world."

"In the center, in a wheelchair, with red eyes. ......"

"Wow, Yanzhi Fan is here too?"

Qi Yongwang, the headmaster of the Qi Mountain Sect, looked sideways at the man in the center and said, "Yanzhi, are you sure that man is in Vulture Fairy?"

Yanzhi Fan looked down at the Eight Trigrams Formation Seal in his hand and replied, "Indeed it is here."

Someone tsked, " Vulture fairy gatehouse , not so much."

Among this group of people, there are many people who want to send their offspring to enter the Vulture Fairy, if this offends the Vulture Fairy , I am afraid that the back door is not good to go in the future.

Another said, "This man is so cunning that he knows how to hide in the Vulture Fairy."

Qi Yongwang stroked his beard, sighing, "I hope he just signed up for Vulture Fairy ......"

Gaofan Meng, dressed in orange, frowned, "In just a few days, he thought he could worship at the Vulture Fairy?!"

Yanzhi Fan looked up and said, "People are coming."

The group of people looked at Xun Yin who came out in unison, their gazes blazing, "Why don't you quickly tie up your hands and save us the trouble of having to do it!"

Xun Yin sank his face, and before he could say anything, the crowd heard a loose laugh, "Hahahahaha--"

"What a mouthful."

Their eyes coincidentally shifted, and gathered on the woman wearing a white flowing cloud fairy dress, who slowly stepped forward and blocked Xun Yin's face, carelessly holding her fan and looking askance at the people not far away.

"This person is ......"

Xu You doesn't care about anything and doesn't come out of the mountains, so very few people have seen her face, not to mention outsiders, if not for today's ceremony, even the disciples of the Vulture Fairy might not be able to recognize who she is.

Seeing that this woman was able to stand in front of Right Mansion Master Wuli Song, Yanzhi Fan turned his thoughts around and arched his hand, saying flatly, "What is the meaning of Left Mansion Master's move?"

Xu You snorted, "You guys are making things difficult for my disciple, and you're asking me what the purpose of this move is, isn't that a joke?"

When these words came out, this group of people were all shocked, originally thought that Xun Yin was only successful in enrollment, has not passed the third level of examination, is not counted as a person of the Vulture fairy gatehouse, as long as it is necessary to step forward to ask for people can be, did not expect to alarm the two masters of the house, Xun Yin has also become the master of the house of the people.

But for the sake of all the people in the world, they can't give in.

"Master Zuo, it's not that we intend to stir up trouble, do you know who this disciple is?"

Xun Yin's heart sank and she violently clenched her palms, she was going to find out, she would definitely abandon him when she found out, and would regret her decision to take on an apprentice today.

What should he do ...... Should he resign himself to his fate?

The.

Handing him over to defuse the situation was the best way to do it, and he simply couldn't stand up to the group and could no longer escape.

Death is a matter of time, he took the initiative to end it can also reduce her trouble, and may also be able to leave her a last bit of good impression. Xun Yin thought, and was about to step forward.

At this moment, Xu You stroked his fan and laughed lightly, "I know it, what does it have to do with you?"

Xun Yin froze and slowly looked up at her unrelenting back.

"You!" Gaofan Meng has always been extremely proud, always thinking that he is doing the right thing, and can't allow others to provoke, "The left master of the house means that he wants to be an enemy of us, an enemy of the world's living beings?"

"Gee whiz," Xu You hooked her eyes and spoke in a lazy tone, "that's a real big hatchet job on me."

Yanzhi Fan, the most authoritative person present, finally spoke again, "I have peered into the heavens and predicted the future, and deduced that this person will surely become the Lord of the Devil's Abyss, a scourge for the living, an omen of bloodshed, and in order to avoid such a scourge, we need to kill him while there is no trouble now."

Yanzhi Fan, who bears the name of the Eye of Heavenly Chance, does not need to prove anything or produce evidence, his every word is convincing.

The Vulture Fairy disciples instantly stirred, "Why did the Left Mansion Master accept such a disciple?!"

"This can't be right, we Vulture fairy gatehouse are not going to turn into a devil's den."

"I didn't realize he was a scourge that must be removed!"

Wuli Song said in a stern voice, "Xu You!" He now understands the meaning of Xu You's phrase "I'm afraid it's too late" on the high stage, which has obviously put him in a difficult position.

The other disciples are fine, but the master's disciple can't be handed over just like that. Wuli Song has always been good at saving face, so if Xun Yin is dragged out to be executed in this way, Wuli Song will not be able to show his face, and the gatehouse will also look weak and deceitful.

Xu You was the one who seized this point and made the first move before the second, by putting Xun Yin's name on the crystal inscription stone, and his name was enshrined in the history of Vulture fairy gatehouse, indelible.

"Pah" Xu You closed his fan and said unhurriedly, "With a single word from the Eye of Heavenly Chance, Xun Yin's mountain sect was massacred in one night, and he didn't hurt a single person since the beginning."

"If you ask me, you're not the ones who should be looking for him, it's him who should be looking for revenge on you."

Gaofan Meng couldn't stand it any longer and drew his sword out, saying angrily, "How dare a prefectural lord with no real power be so wild!"

Qi Yongwang blocked him and shook his head.

Yanzhi Fan narrowed his gaze slightly and said in a deep tone, "There's no point in talking more, what if we insist on having someone."

Xu You stared back at him without changing his expression, "You insist on wanting someone, I'll insist on not giving it to you, since there are so many people present, I can't be too unreasonable, so I'll tell you the reason why I'm not handing over the person."

"First, Xun Yin did not do any harm, but was victimized because of you, and you want to kill him, which is forbidden by morality."

"Secondly, now that he is the Head Disciple of the Prefecture, is he not something you can arrest just by saying so."

"Thirdly, even if he does something wrong in the future, he can only be blamed by me, Xu You, and no one else should interfere."

She hooked her lips, her tone cold, "If you can defeat me today, I won't say a word if he is taken away by you, but after today, if there is anyone else who comes to wantonly pick a fight, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Gaofan Meng said in a harsh voice, "Also, don't blame me for not honoring the old!" At the same time, he raised his sword and stabbed.

Xu You leisurely inclined his head to avoid it, and said to the Vulture Fairy crowd behind him, "Today's matter is a private matter for me, Xu You, and has nothing to do with others."

It was good that it didn't rise to the level of the Gate House, or else word would get out and someone would say that they were bullying the few with the many, making it difficult to plug the long line of people.

Aside from Xun Yin's tight gaze, all the other disciples had excited and expectant eyes as they wanted to see just how much strength the Lord of a House had.

Gaofan Meng's sword skill is very good, fast out of the sword shadow, sword sharp, Xu You will white fan a throw, lost the black sword into a pure white fan, instantly turned into a few ray of light, will Gaofan Meng knocked back again and again.

Xu You suddenly approached and raised her foot to kick, his sword was knocked away and landed on the ground, his wrist was stepped on by her, and his whole person was also nailed to the ground by the sharp light and couldn't move.

She laughed softly, "You don't honor the old, and I don't love the young."

Gaofan Meng, his face red and distorted, could not utter a word.

Xu You took a step back and let go of him, putting away the white fan and transforming it into the White Yun Sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing to the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Alright, the warm-up activities are over, so you guys go on together."

Hundreds of people looked at each other, and except for Yanzhi Fan, they all raised their magic weapons to attack.

Xu You caresses the white sword and it instantly shatters into powder, she blows gently and the powder condenses into shattered silver lenses that stab at them one by one, surrounding them in an encirclement and attacking them.

The slender silver lens refracts the sunlight, converging into ten thousand channels, the light is great, piercing people's eyes, the person trapped in it, like a trapped beast, nowhere to break free.

Vulture Fairy The crowd only saw that the place was as bright as day, the silver lenses of light dance fast, can only hear the sound of the magic weapon landing and skin cutting, the screams are unceasingly into the ears.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the battle, and no one noticed Yanzhi Fan aiming his golden arrow at Xun Yin in the distance.

All he wanted was to defeat Xu You, all he wanted was to get rid of Xun Yin.

The sound of breaking wind--

Xu You's eyes widened slightly.

Yanzhi Fan curled her lips.

A split second--

"With a swish, Xun Yin's pupils suddenly shrank, staring blankly at the blood that was falling from his eyes.

Vulture Fairy The crowd is holding their breath, and it's as quiet as can be.

An arrow penetrated the palm of Xu You's right hand.

Xun Yin's end voice trembled, "Master ......"

"It's alright," Xu You pulled the arrow out and looked coldly at Yanzhi Fan, "No one has ever hurt me in a hundred years, you've used this technique really well, you're honored to be called the Eye of the Heavenly Chance, so this kind of method that doesn't fit in the eye is quite easy to use."

She waved the blood in her hand, and the silver lenses exploded into a bloody mist, and the hundred men spat blood and fell to the ground.

"You guys, lose."

"All of you are men of honor, so I hope you will keep today's appointment."

Xu You dropped two words and left without looking back, followed by Xun Yin.

After Wuli Song also returned to the Gate House, the remaining group of disciples had a long time to come back to their senses: "In less than half a cup of tea, more than a hundred people failed miserably at the same time ......"

Someone sighed, "The Left Mansion Master doesn't accept disciples, he really doesn't see us."

"As far as I know, there can be twenty-three Sect Masters within the hundred, and the lowest cultivation of the others is above Jindan."

......

When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, in the green mountain forest, the master and disciples walked to Pear Blossom Garden.

Xu You's face turned white, his right hand clenched tightly, blood seeped out from between his fingers, staining the white shirt red. Xun Yin stared tightly at the piercing red, his brows locked, his face even uglier than hers.

Xu You pulled open the wooden door and said, " Xun Yin , you rest first, Master needs to recuperate for a moment."

When she finished speaking, she immediately closed the door to the room, removing the seriousness and decency she had just displayed, and almost wailed out in pain, "Seven-eight! My hand is going to be ruined!"

Pretending is fun for a while, but your palms hurt all the time.

"Quickly adjust your breath and transport your energy," Seven Eight said, "This arrow is extraordinary, I'll import you some healing arts tome for you to use and see."

Originally, the palm was just an arrow thick blood hole, now it has expanded into an egg-sized hollow, if not for her deep internal strength has been pressed, I am afraid that the whole right hand is going to melt away, stimulating the nerves is also that kind of pain of blood and flesh rotting.

Not to mention Xun Yin, I'm afraid that if a disciple with cultivation is hit by this arrow, he will be killed on the spot.

Yanzhi Fan is not a simple man, he has prestige, means and ability, and he is bent on sending Xun Yin to his death.

Gee, trouble.

Even a person as powerful as Xu You would have to meditate and exercise for a whole night before the spell on the wound is completely removed.

Xun Yin, holding the obsidian sword, had been standing outside the cabin, staring in silence at the hazy candlelight coming through the wooden window, an image vivid and deep in his mind-

She rambled on, hostile to the crowd, uttering words without fail in defense of him.

Mirror light fluttered, illuminating her figure, she lightly hooked her red lips, and her coat pennant fluttered.

The golden arrow broke through the wind, she grabbed it with her bare hands, and blood fell to the ground, but she didn't care about it, she arrogantly raised her chin slightly, looking down on everyone.

One image rubbed into his heart, something growing violently in his chest, making his heart palpitate without a trace.

The young man did not know what this unfamiliar emotion was; he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, with only one clear and strong thought in his mind - to one day stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

On Zhongling Mountain, in the Pear Blossom Garden, the young man stood alone outside the wooden window, standing all night until the morning dew moistened his shoulders.

--

After two days.

Xu You raised an eyebrow, "You're still going to the Hall of First Sense?"

Her hand is basically healed, these two days Xun Yin are following her every inch of the way, she thought he was aware of the fact that become the master of the house do not need to go to the Hall of Beginner's Knowledge, it turns out to be assured that she is more than seven hundred years old bones.

I don't know why Xun Yin likes her to talk, especially like her storytelling, his eyes are obviously bright, but he never asked for anything, what he wanted to hide not to say, just carefully and expectantly looking at her, Xu You heart is soft, told him a few days of bedtime fairy tales, and basically finished the ones that I remembered.

Xun Yin nodded and sat on the bed, carefully raising her eyes, "Master doesn't want me to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to," Xu You said lazily, leaning against the back of his chair, "You'll know when you go."

The cub wanted to study, she could not say what school to go to and come back to play ah, she was of course positively encouraging, "For the teacher to agree and support."

The cub nodded his head vigorously, with the look of a man who was going to come back with a third-grade student award to show his father.

She is really being a father and a mother now, Xu You stifled her laughter and coughed lightly, "Alright, tell the last story, then you will rest early and go to the Hall of Primary Knowledge tomorrow."

Xu You somehow managed to tell the story of the mermaid.

A soft, slow voice accompanied by the yellowish candlelight swirled around the room, Xu You lowered his eyes, "...... In the end, the mermaid turned into a bubble."

When she raised her eyes again, she noticed Xun Yin's eyes were red, "What's wrong?"

Xun Yin pinched the quilt tightly and lowered her eyes, "I so seem to have heard this story before."

Xu You heart tip a sour, slowed down for a long time before speaking: "Small stories I have finished, from tomorrow onwards can only read you the sword score, you rest early."

That night, Xun Yin had a very long dream, in which his leg was in immense pain, as if it had been cut open by a knife, and every time he took a step, the soles of his feet felt the sharp pain of the knife's tip.

At last he dissolved into a flurry of floating foam in a sky of white snow.

Xun Yin's eyes snapped open, the pain etched deep in his memory causing him to arch his back and hug his legs tightly as he gasped for air, his shirt wet with cold sweat.

After a while, he looked up at the window, the night was quiet and the moonlight was dim.

--

On the second day Xu You got up before dawn, mainly because she thought that Xun Yin had no cultivation and couldn't control the sword, and had to climb the mountain hard again, she opened the door and saw Xun Yin holding a wooden sword and was preparing to leave, his face looked a bit poor, like he didn't sleep well last night.

Of course it is not sleeping well, to get up so early, it is said that adolescents should sleep for eight hours, as a master Xu You is very worried that because of the lack of sleep, it affects the physical development and intellectual growth of the beloved disciple, she mercifully beckoned, " Xun Yin , you come here first."

Xun Yin sniffed and went to stand in front of her.

"In that case, how about Master giving you a hundred years of cultivation?" Xu You said, "You're too far behind them, and in that case you don't have to work too hard."

Xun Yin raised her face with a smelly expression, "Don't."

Xu You lamented that the self-esteem of a teenager at this age is so strong that it makes her feel like a second-generation rich kid who refuses a luxury car bought by his own father and treats money like dirt.

Even if you lose at the starting line, you won't let the judges redraw a good one, what a great kid.

"That's fine," Xu You also do not dwell on this, sprightly get up to go back to the room to make up sleep, "the disciple will climb the mountain to go, early to go and late to come back, do not miss for the teacher."

Xun Yin: "......"

He came to the Hall of Beginning Knowledge only to find that more than twenty people were missing, the people who had bullied him were gone, and even the old man had been replaced with an old cultivator.

Once Xun Yin appeared, the rowdy hall was instantly silenced, and those who had clamored that they had a hard background and wanted to get rid of Xun Yin were all gotten rid of by Xun Yin's master, who had an even harder background.

No one dared to bully Xun Yin for a while, and many people even began to show a pleasing expression.

Xun Yin is a total mess, no friendship at all.

Although the new old cultivator is strict and rigid, but he is able to treat everyone equally and answer all questions. Xun Yin spent five days to learn how to fly with a sword, because of his lack of cultivation, the speed of flight is not fast, but it has greatly reduced the amount of time he has to travel.

No one dares to mess with Xun Yin anymore, but there are always a few ungrateful and disgruntled people looking for a fight.

Xu You sometimes sees him come back with a bruise and casually asks, "Did you get into a fight?"

"Uh-huh." Xun Yin replied honestly, squeezing her wooden sword a little tensely and lowering her head in a meek admission of fault.

No one likes an apprentice who gets into trouble, even if he didn't initiate those things.

Xu You snorted, "Why are you so nervous, winning or losing?"

Seven Eight couldn't help himself, "Wait, is that how you teach your disciple? What about the promised establishment of three views?"

Xu You replied, "You want my disciple to be beaten as a stake to establish the Three Views? No thought! He can get rid of violence and uphold justice, provided he can protect himself."

Seven Eight grunted at the dislike.

"Say it again and I'll report the system for cursing the host." Xu You coolly said.

"......"

Still a little nervous, Xun Yin glances at her and whispers, "Winning."

"Very good." Xu You lifted his hand and stroked his head.

As she turned away, Xun Yin hung her head and quietly curled her lips.

--

Time passes and three years go by in a flash.

Starting from the Hall of First Awareness, the rootless Xun Yin passed the numerous tests of the Sect Master, Valley Master, Pavilion Master, Palace Master, and Prefecture Master, and rightfully became Xu You's disciple.

As he passed through Wuli Song's last sword formation, Wuli Song all but revealed a look of amazement as he lamented, "No wonder senior sister insisted on taking you as her disciple, you are truly a heavenly prodigy."

While Wuli Song and Xu You took five years to pass these tests, Xun Yin did it in three years, making him the first person to do so in the Vulture fairy gatehouse in a thousand years.

"Many thanks for the Right Mansion Master's praise." Xun Yin was unassuming and bowed his hand in salute before leaving the place, and he flew back to Zhongling Mountain amidst the gazes of amazement, envy, and jealousy of the crowd.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the woman in white holding a bamboo basket, picking pear petals, the low-hanging branches of the flowers hiding half of her figure.

Xun Yin, who had been looking indifferent outside, softened his brows and softly called out, "Master."

"Passed?" Xu You walked out carrying a bamboo basket and looked at the person not far away, the youthfulness and tenderness of his features faded, his lines were smooth and good looking, he still had two teenage senses and a few more points of composure and introspection.

Xun Yin nods, "It was Master who taught me well."

This Xu You was sorry to admit, she hadn't taught him anything at all except for reading him the ground floor sword book she found somewhere at night before going to bed, and giving him occasional pointers on swordplay.

Other people only saw Xun Yin's amazing cultivation today when he broke the last sword formation, only Xu You saw his night and day practice sword cultivation without distinguishing between summer and winter, his palm was worn to the point where it was often bloody, for this reason he was afraid of dirtying the obsidian sword, and always used a wooden sword to skillfully maneuver before rubbing it with the obsidian sword.

The young man she had seen from the window swinging his sword in a raw and awkward manner was now the man who wielded the sword and swung the shadow.

Xun Yin saw her suddenly stretch out her white slender hand and pick a piece of pear blossom on the branch, and then she spread her palm in front of him, and a piece of glutinous white pear blossom cake lay quietly in her palm.

Xu You Wen smiled, "You've done well."

Xun Yin carefully picked up the piece of pear cake, lowered her eyelashes to hide the slightly bright light under her eyes, and the corners of her lips rose with difficulty.

A light breeze blew a light, refreshing scent of pear blossoms.
