The night sky is dotted with stars, and it is extremely quiet. The pale moonlight is looming, reflecting the darkness in the yard. The vegetation in the yard is quiet, and the sweet-scented osmanthus on the branches is cool and fragrant.

In the courtyard of the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Xuan sat quietly on the grass, his head drooped, his eyes empty, and endless silence.

hehe……

There was a sneer on Ye Xuan's lips. The defense in his heart may have collapsed long ago. He felt weak all over and all his enthusiasm and energy were drained away.

There seemed to be a thousand pounds of weight on his chest, making him unable to breathe.

"Are you going to stay depressed like this?" Jin Xiuzhu's cold voice came: "I despise this kind of person the most."

Ye Xuan raised his head and looked at the other person with dull eyes.

"Indeed, in a sense you are still a child." Jin Xiuzhu came to Ye Xuan and stared into Ye Xuan's eyes.

"But if you don't go through ups and downs, no matter how old you are, your mentality will always be just that of a child."

Jin Xiuzhu's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's bodies and reach straight to their hearts.

"I..." Ye Xuan's hoarse voice sounded, but he was speechless.

"Your talent is high, and you will definitely be a powerful cultivator in the future. If you continue to be depressed, decadent, and live in the past, even I will look down on you."

"Revenge, you are too weak now."

"After experiencing frustration and pain, if you turn this grief and anger into motivation and become strong inside, you will be the real strong person."

After leaving a few words, Jin Xiuzhu left.

yes……

I should live well and practice well, so that I can be worthy of saving her with my life.

Sorry, am I too weak, or am I too weak...

Ye Xuan's eyes gradually regained their former glory, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

Lan Ling, I won't let myself feel sorry for you.

Only by becoming stronger can grief be prevented.

I must quickly improve my strength and become stronger!

…

In the early morning, there was a continuous drizzle outside the house, and the rain turned into scattered beads and broken jade dripping from the eaves, staining the air.

Ye Xuan stayed up all night, sitting cross-legged on the bed, his inner thoughts running rapidly.

"Break through the foundation building, first treat the two brothers, which consumes a lot of energy. Thanks to the passivity of the mind method, the strength continues to rise. After so long and after yesterday's battle, the realm has been extremely stable."

"There are even signs of a faint breakthrough..."

Ye Xuan was running his mind like crazy, absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

At this time, Ji Yuhan and his party arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, but because of the critical period of Ye Xuan's breakthrough, Jin Xiuzhu arranged a guest room for the three of them to wait.

The day passed quickly, and as a breath spread in the room, Ye Xuan also successfully broke through to the second level of foundation building.

"If I hadn't been arrogant that day, the second level of "Thousand Movements of Fantasy Thunder" would have been enough for me to take Lan Ling away..." It was already dead of night, and Ye Xuan thought of the sad thing again.

The second stage of "Thousand Movements of Fantasy Thunder" is thunder.

Moving like thunder, the overall speed is greatly improved.

If Thunderbolt had been used that day, with the sudden increase in speed, the following events might not have happened.

Every time he thought about it, Ye Xuan's guilt became more and more serious.

"No, I won't let you die in vain. Don't worry, I will live well, for you and myself!"

"Dangdangdang..."

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Xuan was a little confused. Someone was actually looking for him so late.

When he opened the door, he saw Ji Yuhan dressed in white. Her beautiful face did not lose its luster even in the dark night.

Ye Xuan looked surprised: "Is it you?"

Ji Yuhan chuckled: "Senior Ye, it's me. I'm sorry to disturb you. I wanted to let my two brothers thank you, but they were too sleepy, so I had to come."

"No need to thank you, then, come in and talk."

"Okay."

The two of them sat down. Ji Yuhan's face turned slightly red and he took the lead in saying: "Well, Senior Ye, I just want to ask you what your real age is?"

Well?

Ye Xuan was a little confused and asked what he was doing.

"sixteen."

Ji Yuhan stood up suddenly and said with surprise: "What? Sixteen!"

Ye Xuan scratched his head: "Don't call me senior, just call me Ye Xuan."

"Really, Senior Ye?" Ji Yuhan's eyes were shining with an expression that was really funny.

Ye Xuan looked embarrassed and shook his head. Where did this girl's cold and noble temperament go?

After spending so many days together, Ye Xuan found that these three people were not aggressive at heart. On the contrary, they were still trustworthy people.

"Also, my strength has just reached foundation building." Ye Xuan thought for a while and said.

Ji Yuhan looked shocked: "The foundation builder is so powerful, it scares the shit out of the Black Wolf King!"

Ye Xuan: "……."

The next day, the rain had stopped, the sun broke through the morning fog, and the air was full of freshness.

Jin Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Boy, it'll be great if you really come out!"

"Thank you, Uncle Jin!" Ye Xuan also smiled slightly, but there was still a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes.

"Report, Lord City Lord! Lei Wanhao and the two people outside the door seem to be coming with bad intentions!"

Jin Xiuzhu's face suddenly turned ugly: "Ye Xuan, don't go out, I will deal with it."

"Uncle Jin...who is Lei Wanhao?" Ye Xuan asked, seeing that the situation was not good.

Jin Xiuzhu explained: "The Lei family of Jinyang City has been engaged in business for generations, but in this generation, both sons of the Lei family were able to practice and entered the Luoyan Sect, and Lei Wanhao became the best among the inner disciples.

Well, this Luoyan Sect is considered the guardian sect of Jinyang City, and it is really difficult for me, the city lord, to deal with it."

After saying that, Jin Xiuzhu started to leave.

Ye Xuan was silent for a while, watching Jin Xiuzhu's figure walking away step by step, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

At the gate of the city lord's mansion, Lei Wanhao said angrily: "Jin Xiuzhu, tell Ye Xuan to get out of here!"

Jin Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows and said with confusion: "Ye Xuan? Who is Ye Xuan? I only know that as the city lord, I only need to try my best to prevent such things."

Lei Wanhao snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't try to trick me. Do you see the people behind me? They are the third elder and the fourth elder of Luo Yan Sect."

"Do you think you can hide it from them?"

On the street, many passers-by were gathered, as if they were watching a play.

The third elder and the fourth elder were all dressed in black, and looked about half a century old, similar to Lei Wanhao.

Elder?

Jin Xiuzhu smiled flatteringly, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out he is an elder of your sect. Please forgive me for being such a little city lord for being so far away. Please come inside."

"No need, just call Ye Xuan out. Don't worry, we won't do anything to him." The third elder said calmly, with no emotion or anger on his calm face.

"this……"

"There's no need to look for him. He's Ye Xuan." Ye Xuan walked slowly from behind and said calmly, "Why are you looking for me?"

Jin Xiuzhu turned his head slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Seeing that you are just a little kid, but you have such strength, I, Luo Yan Sect, admire you very much, and I formally invite you to join our sect." The third elder said slowly.

At this time, everyone was talking about how many people had a lifelong dream to enter the sect, but now they actually came to invite them personally.

Ye Xuan frowned.

Something's wrong, I fought this guy to the death, and now he wants me to join the sect?

But with Lei Wanhao's background, it seems that he can't even recruit two elders.

No matter what, this is probably a Hongmen Banquet.

Ye Xuan didn't think much and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I have conflicts with the disciples of your sect. I really can't bear to be invited by you."

"Haha, what reason does our Luo Yan Sect have to harm you just because of an inner disciple?" The third elder smiled and said with an indifferent expression: "Forget it, you can go or stay as you please."

Forget it?

Are you sure you're not playing hard to get?

With Lei Wanhao here, how can I believe that you really invited me?
