In the warm afternoon sun, two figures flying swords slowly flew across the horizon, which really attracted people's attention.
"Look, what is that?"
"Xu Xiaoshou?"
"It seems like it's really him, reverse sword control!"
Some people were excited. Xu Xiaoshou is now famous in the outer courtyard. After all, he is a champion and often performs various extraordinary feats. There are not a few people who know him.
"Who is that next to you? It's such a big sword that it blocked everyone."
"It seems like Su Qianqian in the inner courtyard. It's impossible. I must have seen it wrong. How could Su Qianqian be cleaning the streets with Xu Xiaoshou!"
"Hmm, you must have read it wrong, but she can also do 'reverse sword control'. It's so amazing!"
"Isn't it amazing? I feel so dizzy when I look at it..."
In the sky, Su Qianqian was indeed a little dizzy, but she overcame it, "Brother Xiaoshou, why do we fly so slowly?"
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes widened, "How can this be called slow? This is called steady!"
"You just have a too impetuous temper. You need to be steady in everything, you know?"
"Oh." Su Qianqian obeyed the instructions.
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the information column:
"Being envied, passive value, +32."
"Received praise, passive value, +4."
"Being jealous, passive value, +122."
"..."
This wave of harvest is quite good, how can it be faster?
And if he wants to be fast, he must be able to fly. His current speed is almost his limit...
The passive values in the inventory had already reached single digits after the draw. Later, they were devoured by the masked man's sword energy, which actually contributed thousands of passive values.
But making money this way is not as comfortable as it is now.
Look, just flying from the courtyard to Ehu Lake, by accumulating a little, a lot is made, the sand is gathered into a tower, the trickles are made into a river, and the armpits are gathered into fur... I have almost gained 2,000 passive points.
Xu Xiaoshou felt as if he had developed a new way to make money.
Anyway, the game is over now, and there is no safe place to fight. From now on, I will go out for a walk twice a day. It will provide ventilation and at the same time, the passive value gained will be almost as good as a fight.
If it happens during the peak traffic period...
"Hey!" Xu Xiaoshou was almost drooling.
The two flew to Ehu Lake. Su Qianqian finally stopped playing around and said solemnly: "Brother Xiaoshou, did someone kill you last night?"
Xu Xiaoshou came to his senses. He didn't expect the information to spread so quickly. So this was the purpose of Su Qianqian coming to him?
"Did Elder Xiao tell you?"
Su Qianqian shook her head, "My master will not tell me this."
"Actually, I came to see Brother Xiaoshou this time. On the one hand, I am happy, but more importantly, I want Brother Xiaoshou to pay attention to a few people in the inner courtyard."
"Is it related to last night's killer?" Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows.
Su Qianqian nodded: "It may also be related to the killer in the future."
Xu Xiaoshou's not-so-steady sword-wielding skills almost lost control. He swayed for a moment and quickly regained his balance.
So, is it really as I guessed, this is just the beginning?
"Wen Chong?" he asked tentatively.
Su Qianqian's eyes were filled with surprise, "You know?"
"I guess..." Xu Xiaoshou's eyes looked bad. Sure enough, things are always going to go in the worst direction. "Please tell me in detail."
Su Qianqian sorted out her thoughts and said, "Brother Xiaoshou, does he know about the 'thirty-three people in the inner courtyard'?"
Xu Xiaoshou nodded and shook his head. He only heard a little bit.
Su Qianqian explained: "The thirty-three people in the inner court, as the name suggests, are the thirty-three strongest among the more than a hundred people in the inner court."
"It is also a list, and there will also be a re-selection every year. The time is basically before the 'Struggle for Hegemony' in the outer courtyard."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded, he had never understood this before.
Su Qianqian continued: "There are not many disciples who enter the inner courtyard every year, maybe even zero, but there are a lot of people who are discouraged because they failed to compete for thirty-three people."
“There are many people who have struggled for several years, but ultimately failed.”
"Successive blows, coupled with the end of potential, it is basically impossible to obtain the resources of the inner court. If you stay any longer, you may be surpassed by the new geniuses who enter the inner court..."
"Therefore, this type of people will generally choose to leave the spiritual palace and go outside to develop on their own."
She paused and looked at Xu Xiaoshou, "Before leaving, some people will choose to make a fortune, then leave secretly and never come back!"
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly understood something.
Dare, those two idiots last night must be like this. No wonder Dare took action in the Spiritual Palace, still in the identity of the inner court, trying to assassinate a mere disciple of his outer court...
"So, there are people in the inner court who are related to Wen Chong, and because I killed Wen Chong, they sent people to kill me?" Xu Xiaoshou was keenly aware of the crux of the problem.
"Yes." Su Qianqian nodded, "These assassins are just minions, nothing serious, they are mainly the people behind the scenes."
The figure of Xu Xiaoshou's sword swayed again, little guy...
You almost scared me to death, your little brother!
"The person behind the scenes?" He repeated the last word.
Su Qianqian's eyes flashed with fear and she said: "Zhang Xinxiong."
This was a name that Xu Xiaoshou had never heard of before. He was a little confused: "Is it related to Wenchong?"
"Well, in-laws."
"The eldest son of the Zhang family in Tiansang County is very tall and strong. He has the power of ancestral blood. He entered the inner courtyard five years ago and his strength is unfathomable."
five years ago?!
Who can resist this motherfucker?
Xu Xiaoshou lost his balance and fell from the sky.
Fortunately, he didn't fly too high. He knelt down on the ground, patted his clothes and waved upwards in a gentle breeze.
"Come down and talk, it's a little cold up there."
Su Qianqian tilted her head and looked at the big sun above her head, cool?
It's a hot day, flying so slowly with no wind at all, how cool it is.
But she was still very obedient, scratched her head and jumped down.
Xu Xiaoshou walked in front, with the words "Zhang Xinxiong" constantly in his mind, and asked: "Shangling Realm?"
Su Qianqian nodded, "Peak!"
Xu Xiaoshou staggered.
Su Qianqian thought for a while and added: "He reached the peak of the Spirit Realm a year ago, and has been suppressing it for the competition in Dongtian King City half a year later."
Xu Xiaoshou's feet went weak and he quickly held on to the white jade railing to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Mother!
what's the situation?
In other words, the guy who wants to kill me might already be in the master realm if he wants to?
I don't deserve it!
Xu Xiaoshou was about to cry. Wouldn't he feel that his price had dropped when such a big boss attacked him?
Not to mention cultivation level, there is still an inner and outer courtyard separated by us and we haven’t crossed over yet!
"The people who killed you are named Feng Kong and Shao Yi. But I have asked, and it seems they were not sent by Zhang Xinxiong."
A look of hope flashed in Xu Xiaoshou's eyes, wasn't it?
That's great!
However, Su Qianqian's words were not surprising, "This time it should be someone from He Yuxing's faction. He should listen to Lan Xinzi's words, and Lan Xinzi should listen to Zhang Xinxiong's words..."
"Well, counting it this way, it seems that Zhang Xinxiong was also responsible..."
Xu Xiaoshou asked, "Who are these two people?"
Su Qianqian: "They are all thirty-three people in the inner courtyard."
Boom!
Xu Xiaoshou could no longer hold on to the railing and fell to the ground.
