Shangguan Yutong stood there stupidly. Suddenly she opened her eyes wide, then looked like a ghost, walked around the heavy table, walked to Ling Xiao's side, and a plain hand in the depths, gently touched Ling Xiao's handsome face, feeling the warmth unique to the human body. Shangguan Yutong's face rose a blush, and her hand shrank back, then looked at Ling Xiao incredibly and asked, "You, are you Ling Xiao?"

"Haha, no, it's only less than three years, my sister forgot what I look like?"

After not seeing each other for three years, Ling Xiao seemed to be much happier than before, and the smile on his face came from the heart. Indeed, seeing relatives and friends, that feeling made people feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart. Ling Xiao sneaked in quietly and happened to see Shangguan Yutong walking back towards his residence from a distance, so he thought about teasing her.

"No... no, how could I forget you?" Shangguan Yutong suddenly felt like a little girl who had just fallen into a relationship. She spoke a little unrestrainedly. She took a deep breath, then sat back opposite Ling Xiao, put her hands together with her hair hanging down from her forehead, and blamed herself in her heart, because she was busy with the Shushan Sword Sect every day, and Ling Xiao was not there, which made her unintentionally dress up and felt that he would not like her now. However, there was a greater curiosity in Shangguan Yutong's heart. If she didn't ask clearly, she would not even sleep well.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

This is what surprised Shangguan Yutong the most!

She didn't say it to herself just now, but was just thinking in her heart, because although the place where she lives was relatively quiet, it was hard to guarantee that others would pass by. If she heard that the respected Shangguan Elder in the Sword Sect was actually complaining about the sect leader like a little girl, it would probably not take tomorrow, and this news would spread throughout the inner city!

"You have been wronged in the past few years."

Ling Xiao did not answer Shangguan Yutong. With his current strength, he was enough to capture those obsessions with more active mental power. This is different from the mind reading technique. Ling Xiao has not reached such a terrifying strength, but at his current realm, it is not difficult to capture the paranoid thoughts in the other party's heart.

This is a very mysterious state. Ling Xiao believes that no one understands this world!

On the one hand, he was happy for Shangguan Yutong's progress, and on the other hand, Ling Xiao also hated those enemies to the core. In fact, he was the only one who made enemies, not to mention that the enemy has always been provoked by the enemy, and he just fought back.

Is it said that the other party is only allowed to come to the door to challenge and shout and kill, and not to fight back?

The main master was not here, and the other party forced Shangguan Yutong and the others to start the mystery formation for three years! Ling Xiao's running time against the formation was obvious at a glance. I think if it weren't for the enemy's pressure, no one would have been willing to keep his head in the shell like a turtle.

Shangguan Yutong's bright eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist because of Ling Xiao's words, and forgot to ask Ling Xiao if he knew his inner thoughts, Bei Tee bit his rosy lower lip and said softly: "We... have lived a good life! But you, your changes are really big. I originally thought that the speed of my strength improvement in the past few years was already rare, but compared with you, it's simply... you are simply too much, Ling Xiao!"

Shangguan Yutong really doesn’t know how to describe Ling Xiao’s power, because with her current level of the sixth-level sword emperor, she can’t see any fluctuations in Ling Xiao’s body at all!

How is it possible? Although she is definitely not a match for a master of the Sword Master's realm, Shangguan Yutong believes that even if a first-level and second-level sword master stands in front of her, she can still feel the fluctuation of the aura from the other party, and it is impossible for her to be completely gone!

For some reason, Shangguan Yutong felt that Ling Xiao’s current temperament made people feel that he couldn’t help but get close to him. The closer he got, the more obvious that thought was.

"Haha." Ling Xiao saw that Shangguan Yutong had finally regained a little bit of her former temperament. She was very popular when facing him. In fact, Ling Xiao still likes her now, and she still has to be herself!

Because you like to care, you can show that kind of gentleness as water. Although it makes people like it, you always feel that you have lost your original spirituality.

Ling Xiao suddenly thought that Shangguan Yutong had a great opportunity. I believe that if Leng Ninggong knew about this, he would definitely regret it!

"Sister is better, I'm happy for your progress!" Ling Xiao said, stood up, then came to Shangguan Yutong, and said with a smile: "Let's go see you all together!"

Originally, he thought Ling Xiao wanted to do something when he came to him, Shangguan Yutong was nervous and a little expectant, but seeing that Ling Xiao did not move, Shangguan Yutong suddenly felt a sense of sorrow in his heart, and he felt a little regretful: You are older than him, Shangguan Yutong, he might really think you are a sister! But then he heard Ling Xiao's words.

She automatically ignored everything else, only those two words left - us.

"Oh, okay, okay!" Shangguan Yutong quickly stood up and gave Ling Xiao a bright smile, but was thinking in her heart: We, we!

"Let's go now!" As he said that, Shangguan Yutong, whose pink face was as stained with cherry blossoms, added: "I know that you will be very happy when you come back!"

Indeed, even Ling Yuner and Ye Zi would send a regular letter back every once in a while, telling about their recent situation, but Ling Xiao left for three years!

When he left, Ling Xiao was still a teenager, but when he came back, he became a young man. The originally young man on his face had long disappeared, and was replaced by a more calm demeanor and a mature face.

Almost all the people with some status in Ling came to the banquet hall of Shushan Sword Sect!

Many disciples of Shushan Sword Sect who have practiced for a day, are young, and look at the big figures who are rare to show up on their faces! Moreover, most importantly, those big figures are serious on weekdays, and some people have never even seen them laugh!

But today, not only did these big names appear, but the happy smiles from the bottom of their hearts on their faces were something that the disciples of Shushan Sword Sect had never seen at the carnival!

The older disciples of the Sword Sect were asking each other.

"Senior brother, why did those big guys suddenly appear? Is there any happy event today?" A teenager looked at the people who were rushing from all over the place to the banquet hall of the Sword School.

Ling Wu, Zhang Danian, Tang Ming, Mo Qing, Meng Li, Li Fo, Lao Shuai Qiuchen, the master Fu Bo who always smiles on weekdays, and a group of sword sect masters of the Ice Sea Secret Clan, there are more than 30! At this moment, he walked quickly with a pious look on his face.

"Damn it, aren't those scary white guys always staying in their cave?" A 14 or 15-year-old boy looked at the group of masters of the Ice Sea Secret Clan with a suspicion. Obviously, after three years of polishing, it is no longer a secret in Shushan City, whether it is the beast tribe or the Ice Sea Secret Clan. Moreover, after a period of discomfort, almost everyone now no longer has the fear of talking about them as before.

Another 14 or 15-year-old round-faced boy, who looked very cute, seemed to be in the voice change period just now, and spoke like a duck, whispering: "When did those old bastards in the army come back? Could it be because of them?"

The duck-voiced boy's words caused people around to roll their eyes. The boy said before, "You can speak softly, let those old bastards hear it, and it's time to train us hard again! Have you forgotten the consequences of the eldest brother's crazy words last time? Grandma, if you miss, go by yourself, don't pull us!"

The duck-voiced boy shrank his neck and closed his mouth.

The younger generation of Shushan Sword Sect has a disciple named Fang Yuan. It is said that when the sect leader comes back, he will become the sect leader's disciple. He is extremely talented and is only fourteen years old this year, but he has reached the strength of a first-level magic sword master!

What is amazing is that three years ago, when he was taken from a poor family to Shushan Sword Sect, he was still an ordinary child with no foundation at all!

And in these three years, he did not take any pills or assistance!

It was entirely through my own efforts to reach this level!

Therefore, these Shushan disciples who are not afraid of heaven and earth have to express a respectful tone when they mention the recognized senior brothers!

Such a genius boy, because of his rapid increase in strength, was held by many people, and he became a little fluttering. A few months ago, Tang Ming, the captain of the First Battalion of the Lightning Corps, was a useless man. Because as the captain of the First Battalion of the Lightning Corps, Tang Ming's strength is only a sixth-level magic swordsman! It was only after taking the Ice Crystal Silkworm and the Pill that he reached his current strength.

Even many disciples of Shushan Sword Sect have surpassed Tang Ming's strength after taking the Ice Crystal Silkworm and the elixir. Therefore, it is actually normal to be disdainful of that calm and low-key young man.

After all, this is a world where strength is respected!

But after Ling Wu and others found out about this, they immediately sent someone to talk about Fang Yuan's kidnap without any explanation or any words. What surprised these Shushan disciples was that all the elders of the Sword Sect, including the two who were usually the most protective, the Thirteenth and the Fourteenth Elders, had no objection.

Someone asked with courage, and it was said that Elder Su answered, and there was only one sentence: "Captain Tang Ming was once the brother of the sect leader!"

As a result, a week later, Fang Yuan came back and no longer had the pride he used to be on his face. He kept silent about what happened that week and didn't say a word.

It was also the news that came from the Lightning Corps later, saying that after Fang Yuan was tied up, he was arrogant and said that if he had the ability, he would let Tang Ming fight him, otherwise he would not surrender! The Lightning Corps was just bullying others with his power!

This made all the senior executives of the Lightning Corps, including Ling Tianxiao, feel very funny. The Lightning Corps is training outside all year round, and this time it is just a few senior executives who come back occasionally to purchase some things, and to see if their families are safe.

I didn't expect to meet such an interesting little guy, so I called Tang Ming in public. In fact, although Tang Ming's level is relatively low, as an old adventurer, his experience against the enemy is something that a young little guy like Fang Yuan can never compare!

A very simple example, the so-called "soldiers never get tired of deceit". Tang Ming just fooled Fang Yuan and Fang Yuan would be deceived. Therefore, after Fang Yuan was defeated for the first time, he was very dissatisfied and said that Tang Ming used deceit.

The second time, Tang Ming used his sword skills and relied on his own experience to completely face the enemy head-on and defeat Fang Yuan!

Now, Fang Yuan had nothing to say, but he still looked dissatisfied and felt that he lost because of carelessness. If he was careful, he would definitely not lose.

So, Ling Tianxiao, Qiuchen and others had a whim and thought that Fangyuan was a craftable material. If he let him go like this, a good seedling would be destroyed.

Ling Tianxiao has seen many talented people, not to mention the great sects, but why are there few outstanding people? Pride and complacency occupy a very important aspect!

Especially those who have strong strength in their youth often look down on everything and feel that I am the only one in the world. With this mentality, you can imagine your future achievements.

Therefore, Fang Yuan was pulled into the deep mountains and forests, and he was asked to train with the Lightning Corps.

Fang Yuan did not take this group of big-headed soldiers into consideration at the beginning. Looking at the black and smeared strong men, they were all in their twenties and thirties, and some were even in their thirties and forties, but they were only of such strength. Fang Yuan believed that although he was poor, he would be the master of the sect leader in the future!

What is that identity? How can these soldiers compare with themselves?

Fortunately, he knew that General Ling Tianxiao was the father of the sect leader and did not dare to act rashly. Then he started training unwillingly. Unexpectedly, with his first-level magic swordsman's strength, he was so tired that he could hardly get up on the first day, and he couldn't even say that it was someone who deliberately took revenge on him!

Those men he looked down upon were all so trained!

So, Fang Yuan was "cared for" and trained for seven days. These seven days... the other party had extremely important significance for Fang Yuan's life. Later, according to Fang Yuan's own recollection, what he should be most grateful to was not the master he respected as a god, but his master, Ling Tianxiao and the men of the Lightning Corps!

The deeds of the senior brother Fang Yuan spread throughout the Shushan Sword Sect. From then on, no one dared to openly criticize the members of the Lightning Corps. At the same time, they began to understand that although the soldiers of the Lightning Corps were not strong, if they were deeply involved, their identities were actually guards of the sect leader! They were also the first subordinates before the sect leader started the sect!

No matter what the disciples in Shushan were thinking and guessing, today the entire inner city of Shushan was full of joy!

Ling Tianxiao and the others received a temporary notice saying that Ling Xiao was back, and basically they all rushed back overnight. There were hundreds of people in the banquet hall of Shushan Sword Sect!

Among them are many middle-level generals of the Lightning Corps, most of them were the first to follow Ling Xiao and many people from the intelligence camp. These people are basically the brothers and sisters of Ye Zi back then, and now they have fully grown up and play a role in key places.

I heard that Ling Xiao came back, and the atmosphere in the entire inner city of Shushan had changed a lot! Just like a person who had lost his soul, he finally found his soul. For everyone, their backbone was finally back!

Fang Yuan and another boy stood in a secluded place, looking at the lively banquet hall from afar. The boy was also a disciple of Shushan, and he belonged to the better of their generation.

Looking over there, he said in a daze: "Senior Brother, when did you say that we can be with them with their heads raised and chests up, and that kind of occasion? It's really enviable! Even those people from the intelligence battalion can enter..."

Before he could finish his words, Fang Yuan interrupted him and frowned and said, "Those people in the intelligence camp are brothers and sisters of a confidante next to the sect leader! Do you know who that confidante is? He is Elder Su's daughter! So, don't talk nonsense in the future." Fang Yuan suddenly remembered the scene where he was trained for talking nonsense, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If he said that he was resistant at the beginning, he was reluctant to leave later! He also understood why he was obviously a satirized Tang Ming, but one of the main reasons why so many people were angry.

When he left the training ground of the Lightning Corps, he left crying because he didn't want to leave and was driven back by others. However, Grandpa Ling Tianxiao told him something that Fang Yuan kept in his heart until now.

"If you really want to be accepted as your disciple by your sect leader, you must truly understand the meaning represented by the three words "The Grand Master"! That is not glory, but a responsibility!"

Thinking to himself, Fang Yuan patted the boy next to him on the shoulder and said softly: "Let's go, let's go and practice more!"

"Ah? I'm still practicing! How lively we'll watch it!" the boy muttered.

"If you want to enter there one day and be appreciated by the sect leader, and listen to me, you must put in ten times the effort of others!" Fang Yuan said softly: "Also, don't treat yourself as a genius."

Looking at Fang Yuan's back as he turned and left, the boy was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the noisy banquet hall, and suddenly felt that the attraction there was not that great. He also felt that the eldest brother seemed to be really different from before! I must work hard, but I can't stop him from falling too much!

Thinking to himself, the boy clenched his fists and chased Fang Yuan's back.

Ling Xiao was greeting everyone one by one. His face was a smile that was much more mature than before. It seemed that the book did not look as calm as before, but it gave people the feeling that it was full of incomparable affinity!

Mrs. Ling's eyes were red, and her heart was filled with pride and gratitude. Looking at all this in front of her, who would have thought that the most unreliable third brother in the Ling family would have achieved what she has today?

Mrs. Ling held Ling Xiao's hand: "Xiao'er, you have really grown up! You're a little afraid to recognize me!" Mrs. Ling has become younger and younger over the years, but due to the accumulation of experience, her demeanor is extremely elegant and luxurious. Standing in front of Ling Xiao, if you don't know, you would think it was a sibling and sibling!

If you look closely, you can find the shadow of Mrs. Ling Xiao’s eyebrows. With such an outstanding son, being a mother is the happiest person!

Many people sighed, and even Ling Su couldn't help but mutter to her father and brother: "Mom is biased! I haven't seen her so happy for several years!"

Ling Zhi said heartlessly: "I like mistresses too!"

"you……"

Ling Su glanced at this carefree elder brother, but his heart was filled with warmth and pride. It was so good that the family was together! Unfortunately, the younger sister was not here. If their group of girls knew that Ling Xiao was back, they would definitely be very excited!

Ling Su thought to herself, glanced at Shangguan Yutong, and felt a little savory in her heart: My baby brother, divided by a group of women, is even the best sister... The younger brother is really charming! Yutong hasn't been so happy in the past few years. Thinking of it, Ling Su smiled: No matter what, she is my younger brother, later... I should let Yutong's girl call me a few times first, haha!

Ling Xiao looked at his subordinates who had made great progress in their strength, and his heart was filled with emotion. Although he had been away for three years, these three years were obviously of great significance to them!

Because Ling Xiao saw the confidence that he had never had before in everyone's face!

That's right, in the past three years, the Shushan Sword Sect has been so low-key that it is regarded as a turtle, and has been forgotten by countless sects of great families. Even the Song family in the sea area, because Ling Xiao is not around, has not had any frequent contacts with the Shushan Sword Sect as before.

If the Song family in the sea can openly support the Shushan Sword Sect, the Zhe family may not dare to be so rampant!

However, from the perspective of the Song family itself, it is understandable not to support it publicly. After all, Song Mingyue likes Ling Xiao, and the Song family also sent two powerful sword emperors, which basically means giving the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master to Ling Xiao, which is considered to be the ultimate righteousness.

Therefore, Ling Xiao also had no idea of ​​complaining about others. Looking at the faces that were excited because of his return, Ling Xiao stood there, his voice was very light, but it was clearly heard into everyone's ears. And just as Ling Xiao spoke, in the hall that was still noisy just now, there was silence! The quiet people could almost hear the sound of their heartbeats.

"It's been three years, you are all very good! I'm a little surprised!" Ling Xiao's handsome face was filled with a gentle smile, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It made Shangguan Yutong feel a throbbing in his heart.

"These three years have also caused you grievances. From tomorrow on, I will let everyone know what kind of sect the Shushan Sword Sect is."
Chapter completed!
