At this moment, in the disciple's house of Yutian Sword Sect.

Cong Xin and Zhou Feng were standing in front of Qiao Nai, congratulating him on his successful foundation building.

"Haha, it's just a matter of course. It's nothing." Qiao Nai exhaled a breath, waved his hand and said, "Junior Brother Cong built the foundation half a step ahead of me. This is something I didn't expect."

He looked at his junior brother pointedly, feeling surprised in his heart.

In terms of talent and qualifications, he is obviously higher than Cong Xin, and his spiritual root is also a level higher than his;

In terms of resources and background, the cultivation elixirs and auxiliary supplies he has obtained in the sect are almost twice as much as those of other disciples, so there is no possibility of being surpassed by external forces;

When it comes to training time, Cong Xin often has to do tasks that are extremely cost-effective due to lack of money, which consumes life and does not get many spiritual stones. However, he has a large amount of time at his disposal, no matter how he thinks about it.

You shouldn't lag behind him.

However, he succeeded in building the foundation faster than himself who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage earlier.

It's really strange.

"Ah, I'm just lucky. I never thought I could successfully build the foundation in one go." Cong Xin said humbly.

"Really? It seems that Junior Brother Cong has been working hard behind the scenes." Qiao Nai straightened the pleats on her clothes, walked to the window and said in a weird voice.

In his eyes, there is no difference between humility and hypocrisy. He asks himself that he is neither deaf nor blind, and he can still clearly distinguish the difference between humility and pretentiousness.

Zhou Feng saw something was wrong and quickly smoothed things over: "Hey, Brother Qiao, what are you talking about? You two have succeeded in building the foundation. Isn't this a great and gratifying thing? Let's be happy today and go for a walk later.

How about preparing for the trial in the next few days at the Spiritual Weapon Hall?"

Originally, in their three-person team, Qiao Nai took the lead in all actions. Now Cong Xin was the first to build the foundation. Qiao Nai was more than ten days behind him, and his cultivation level was a little behind him, so naturally he felt uncomfortable.

What Zhou Feng didn't know was that the quota for this trial of the Yutian Sword Sect was limited. Since it was decided in advance, Qiao Nai had not established a foundation at that time, so Yun Jianlai did not allocate the quota to him at all.

As soon as he heard the word "trial", Qiao Nai became even more angry.

Who doesn't know that with Senior Brother Yun Jianlai present, the trial is equivalent to going to whoring for a mission reward, it's easy and there is no danger. Although his Qiao family is relatively wealthy, who doesn't want to have one more spiritual weapon?

What about self-defense?

It is said that after the mission is successful, the sect will issue a mid-grade spiritual sword to every disciple who comes back alive. If converted into spiritual stones, it is worth at least two to three hundred. Qiao Nai looked gloomy and sneered:

"Spiritual Weapon Hall? Haha, you two go. I also want to stabilize my cultivation, so I won't accompany you."

He had long seen that Zhou Feng had taken more care of his junior brother since he came back from Yinhui Forest. He was clearly his lackey before, but now he was surrounding others, which was hard for him to accept.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so bad, Cong Xin and Zhou Feng looked at each other and didn't stay any longer. They bowed their hands to Qiao Nai and left the room knowingly.

Qiao Nai stared at the cold stone door, the look on his face becoming more and more malicious.

"Really, what do you think Senior Brother Qiao is doing today? Why are you so angry?" As soon as he left the house, Zhou Feng clicked his tongue and complained: "Don't we all be so harmonious? He didn't do that before.

That’s not the case.”

Cong Xin disagreed: "Who knows. We just have to do our own thing." He glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and sneered in his heart:

Qiao Nai, Qiao Nai, it’s just the beginning. From now on, I want you to experience the feeling of being able to get nothing but scraps from any good thing. We’ll see!

…

Lingyue Sect, Wuyangfeng.

In the private room on the fifth floor of Jinyue Tower, Lu Lingqiu looked at the two women in front of him at a loss, feeling very anxious.

He never expected that Mu Qing would come here by such a coincidence at this time. And he also "sensiblely" chose the fifth floor to dine...

Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he reacted immediately before she came in, and pushed the cat's head back into his collar.

"Brother Lingqiu, this is Senior Sister Bai Xue. She is very kind to me."

Mu Qing took Bai Xue's arm and introduced him affectionately.

"Yes, I have seen it." Lu Lingqiu nodded and looked at Bai Xue: "Long time no see, Senior Sister Bai."

"Ah...Junior Brother Lu is also fine."

She looked at Lu Lingqiu awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Originally, Mu Qing had dragged her here to treat her to dinner, and she had planned to pay the bill secretly and treat this lovely junior sister instead. But now that she met Lu Lingqiu, things became complicated.

It was obvious that Mu Qing's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at this junior brother... In this case, wouldn't he seem a little redundant here...

The white snow feels like sitting on pins and needles.

"This is the 'braised sage fish' you ordered, please eat it slowly."

“This is your ‘three fresh cold ice fish and star pattern fish sashimi platter’, remember to dip it in Jinyue’s special mustard sauce when you eat it.”

"Guests beware, the 'Salt Grilled Flame Fish' is here. It's a bit hot. Be careful not to burn your hair."

Under the surprised gazes of Mu Qing and Bai Xue, the waiters brought dishes to the table one after another. The private room was soon filled with the aroma of the dishes.

"Uh, Mu Qing, Senior Sister Bai, I asked them to bring the menu. You can order whatever you want to eat." Lu Lingqiu tried to divert the attention of the two of them in time, but saw that Mu Qing's originally happy expression suddenly turned helpless.

There was no trace, and his expression was obviously a little disappointed.

He felt a thump in his heart, secretly thinking that it was terrible.

"Brother Lingqiu."

The girl lowered her head and looked at the corner of the table.

"What, what's wrong...?" Lu Lingqiu subconsciously tightened his collar, and the ominous premonition in his heart became even worse.

It can be clearly felt that the black cat under the clothes is also very uneasy.

Bai Xue looked at Mu Qing and then at Lu Lingqiu, her mind filled with questions. As the second morning star of Lingyue Sect, this was the first time she encountered such an incomprehensible situation. Weren't both of them fine just now?

Is it? It’s just a dish. What’s going on...?

"You brought her here, didn't you?"

Mu Qing whispered expressionlessly.

She was not asking him, but seemed to be stating the facts.

In fact, when she first saw Lu Lingqiu appearing here alone, she was vaguely aware of this possibility.

And after the food was served, the truth became clear.

Yes, the sneaky cat is definitely here.

For her, she didn't even need to use spiritual pupil skills or spiritual scanning to search. She could tell where the black cat was just by the familiar fragrance and the slight purple electricity attribute remaining in the air.

s position.

After all, Xia Lianxing has not learned the ultimate soul-hiding technique called "The Art of All Souls Returning to Hidden Life". As a cat demon, it is unrealistic to completely hide one's aura.

Bai Xue: "???"

"who is she?

During the entire dinner, the most confused person was Bai Xue.

Thinking of the question Mu Qing asked herself not long ago, she was suddenly shocked.

Could it be... could it be that it's Xia Lianxing?!

Lu Lingqiu was silent for a short while, and then she nodded unexpectedly.

After hearing this answer, Mu Qing bit her lower lip.

The emotions that I was trying to control gradually became out of control.

Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time,

I also told myself in my heart that as the Lord of Mirror Flowers, Brother Lingqiu has no obligation to be kind to only one person forever. It is just my own selfishness that desires all his love.

But the tears still dripped onto her skirt uncontrollably.

It's like a child losing his most cherished treasure.

Like a forest losing its breeze,

The grass loses sunlight.

I do not know how long it has been,

She smiled faintly:

"Sure enough, she is better than me."
