There are still twenty-five days before the Four Halls Military Competition.

Facing the eastern sun, Lin Ye stretched and got up from the bed.

The past two days were really wasted for that Jiang Xun. His body was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he could recover before the Fourth Palace Competition. However, was that guy a boy...or a girl?

"I don't think about it anymore, I don't think about it anymore, I can't even think about it."

Lin Ye pushed open the wooden door and walked out of his courtyard facing the soft sunshine. After a trip to the Tianxia Palace, Lin Ye realized how desolate the Futian Palace was.

When he went to find Jiang Xun that morning, there were already many young people walking back and forth on the main street, but on the road in front of him, he could only see a single figure from a long way away, and most of them were middle-aged or older.

(Most of the young people in Futian Palace were recruited from the outside by lowering their standards before, and most of them lived on the outermost edge. Now that they have moved inside, it is even more desolate)

For some reason, Lin Ye unconsciously looked in the direction of Tianxia Palace, as if expecting something, but quickly shook his head: "You are crazy, Lin Ye, what do you want that pervert to do?"

He quickly turned around and walked towards the deep forest, it was time to practice.

But after walking a little further, his own courtyard was almost out of sight. Lin Ye stopped unconsciously and looked in the direction of Tianxia Hall, where Jiang Xun came from that day.

…

Leaves fell in the deep forest, and the sunlight shone faintly on Lin Ye through the gaps.

Lin Ye held the custom-made sword of the Qingcheng Sect and practiced the basic swordsmanship of the Qingcheng Sect over and over again. According to Ye Zhi, what he lacks most now is the basics.

The basics of martial arts require hard practice day after day, year after year.

Since coming this morning, Lin Ye has been practicing hard for two hours continuously. His clothes are soaked with sweat. He still can't mobilize the true energy in his Dantian. He just has a vague feeling that it has not developed to a bad place, but has become a bit stronger.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Now I can only take one step and look at it. If I have the chance to see Old Man Bai, I can shamelessly ask him for advice, or ask Jiang Xun to ask his father to look at it for him.

I was able to help him complete two super big tasks. Isn't this a small request too much?

As Ye Zhi said, seriousness is Lin Ye's greatest advantage. He may seem unreliable, but he is still very reliable in key areas. When practicing swordsmanship, he must complete it meticulously and conscientiously.

Two hours have passed, and Lin Ye is still concentrating on practicing his sword. He is far from reaching his limit. He should be able to hold on even for two hours of dancing, so let's hold on for another two hours!

However, what Lin Ye didn't notice was that a faint purple energy gradually adhered to the long sword. As Lin Ye swung his sword again, the purple energy turned into a sharp sword energy and slashed forward.

Silently and without any movement, the three big trees directly in front were cut off!

"What!? What is going on!?"

Lin Ye was shocked by the sudden change. He quickly walked over and looked at the three big trees in front of him. The trunks were thick and thick, and they were probably all a hundred years old.

Lin Ye looked at his hands in disbelief. He must have been able to do it in the past, but he would never be so casual. Just swinging a sword normally, and it was the most basic swordsmanship of the Qingcheng sect, could cause this.

So much damage.

"What's going on? Could it be -" Lin Ye quickly closed his eyes and sensed his Dantian, but there was still no response. Lin Ye was unwilling to give in and tried to mobilize the infuriating energy inside.

This time, it was actually mobilized!

It was not the deep red Wuyue Qi, nor the light blue Qingxuan Qi, but a purple breath that he had never seen before. There was only one wisp, but it made Lin Ye tremble. It seemed to contain extremely powerful energy.

The power of terror is average.

"I...I was actually frightened by my own Qi!?"

Could it be——the two strands of true energy merged together!?

It’s really possible, that’s a blessing in disguise!

Lin Ye opened his eyes in surprise, ready to test the power of this purple energy, when a familiar face came right in front of him, as if he had been looking at him for a long time.

Lin Ye was startled and took a few steps back.

Jiang Xun wore a small straw hat and held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He looked like a little hooligan and was looking at him with a smile (he became a man again, and he was still a complete little ruffian).

"Senior Brother Zhao, you are in good spirits today, but do you have any grudge against this tree? It's such a pity that you cut down three trees in a row."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Ye was very surprised and happy when he saw Jiang Xun. But Lin Ye just didn't admit it, and couldn't admit it. He was expecting a pervert who didn't know his gender!?

Are you kidding me? Aren’t I a pervert too!?

Lin Ye kept his face straight and said in a deep voice: "It's you, Junior Brother Jiang. If you don't stay in Tianxia Hall, why are you here?"

Jiang Xun spread his hands, shook his head and said: "After all, we are brothers who have gone through adversity together. Senior Brother Zhao is so cold, which is really heartbreaking."

"Humph, are you a brother?"

Jiang Xun smiled and hugged Lin Ye's shoulders (this action seems to be Jiang Xun's habitual action, if it's between a man and a man, that's it, if it's a woman and a man... the picture is too beautiful to watch)

"Of course I'm a brother, or do you think I'm a woman? Do you think I look like a woman?"

Lin Ye: "..."

I really can’t tell at all...you are indeed a pervert!

"I'm not joking, actually the reward for the mission has come down. There are still twenty taels of silver for the twenty-point contribution. The reward for the C-level mission is just less. I can't transfer the sect's contribution to you, but I will give you the twenty taels of silver."

I can give it to you, without Senior Brother Zhao, this mission cannot be completed."

"……No."

Jiang Xun patted Lin Ye again: "Senior Brother Zhao is really out of touch. Otherwise, Brother Zhao is too embarrassed to accept it, so let's go spend it. I know a lot of good places. Is Senior Brother Zhao interested? It's definitely a man.

’s paradise.”

After listening to Jiang Xun's words, Lin Ye simply didn't know how to describe his feelings: "...You are so perverted."

Jiang Xun fell silent, and after a long time he said softly: "You are the second person of mine who has said that."

"...No, that's not what I actually meant." Seeing Jiang Xun's mood a little down, Lin Ye quickly changed his words: "I mean, I mean -"

What am I talking about? It seems like what I just said is what I’m saying——

"I mean, it's not good to spend money like this! Yes, that's what I mean."

This is the first time Lin Ye has lied so embarrassingly, and it seems a bit fake at first glance...

However, Jiang Xun turned into a smiling face again: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm used to it. If Senior Brother Zhao feels that he owes me, I really have a little problem, and I want to ask Senior Brother Zhao for help, okay~"

"..."
