"Who are you? What is your relationship with Senior Brother Li Moxiao?"
Lin Yi looked at the young man in black. He hesitated slightly and still used the term "senior brother". No matter what Li Moxiao's attitude was towards him, at least that was the case in terms of seniority in the academy.
"Senior brother? Are you also a student of Nantianyuan?"
The handsome eyebrows of the young man in black were raised slightly like a knife, with a sharp taste, "Since the bet has failed, why didn't he come out to see me and ask you to come over? What did he say?"
"Bet?"
Lin Yi was stunned. He naturally connected the magic circle Li Hongchen arranged on the hillside with the magic circle activated by the young man in black. "What are you betting on?"
"Where do so many whats come from and why?"
However, the young man in black was impatient and sneered, "I'm too lazy to tell you. If you make Li Mo laugh, is he ashamed to see me?"
Lin Yi knew that the young man in black was completely wrong. He was not angry. He just shook his head and said calmly: "Senior Brother Li Moxiao has left."
The young man in black raised his eyebrows again. Lin Yi was also a person who was very afraid of trouble, so he simply said directly, "He and I just had a competition and lost to me, and then left directly."
The young man in black was stunned.
Then get angry.
"That's sheer nonsense." He laughed angrily, "The number one genius in Jiankang doesn't dare to admit defeat even if he loses."
"What are you betting on?" Lin Yi frowned, and he became a little impatient and said, "What magic circle are you betting on?"
"Okay, let's see what you say." The young man in black yelled angrily: "This competition between Li Moxiao and I is to see who can complete a magic circle of the same difficulty first. My magic circle has been completed, and the sound is shocking everywhere.
, where is your senior brother Li Moxiao’s magic circle?”
When this young man in black talked to Lin Yi, Yuan Yan always acted as a silent and calm listener. At this time, her heart moved slightly, and she keenly caught the word "competition".
Lin Yi didn't care too much, and pointed at the forest behind him with his backhand, saying: "The magic circle he arranged is right there."
"I have finished, but he hasn't finished yet? Are you still insisting on setting up the formation?" The young man in black sneered: "Then in this competition, do you think he lost or won?"
"He should have won." Lin Yi thought for a while and said.
The young man in black seemed to be angry, but he suddenly held back and came to his senses, saying, "He wants to regret it."
"You misunderstood."
Lin Yi shook his head and said seriously: "Before I fought with him, he should have completed the magic circle. After I fought with him, you only activated the magic circle when I got here. Based on the time, it should be true.
You lose."
The anger on the face of the young man in black gradually disappeared, and his expression gradually became calm, but there was deep disbelief in his eyes.
He glanced at Lin Yi and Yuan Yan, then walked straight over, then passed Lin Yi and Yuan Yan, and continued towards the hillside behind them.
"I must have said something right?"
When he came, Lin Yi couldn't help but asked softly to Yuan Yan beside him: "Although I am not proficient in the magic circle, even I can see that the magic circle has been completed."
"You are too self-effacing." Yuan Yan frowned slightly, "It seems that you are not very proficient in the magic circle, but you are not completely ignorant. What you said is correct. The magic circle was completed when we went uphill.
"
"No matter what, you are still more proficient than me." Lin Yi lamented in his heart. It seems that he still read too few books.
"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and it is impossible to be the best at everything." Yuan Yan looked at the young man in black who was walking towards him, and the curiosity in her heart became more and more intense, but her face was also full of confusion.
With a lively voice, he said softly: "He should be going to confirm, are you going to follow him or not?"
"There is no one else here. I don't know who he is, so naturally I have to follow him."
Lin Yi quietly waited for the arrival of the young man in black. When the young man in black passed him and Yuan Yan, he and Yuan Yan turned around and followed.
It was only then that he discovered that the young man in black was also unique behind his back.
There is a black leather pouch hanging on the back of this young man in black. This leather pouch is very similar to the quiver used by the archery masters in Jiankang City, but what is exposed in this black leather pouch is not arrow feathers, but a sword.
handle.
Lin Yi looked at it in surprise and counted.
There are nine swords in total, and the format of these nine swords seems to be the same. They are all very slender small swords, only two feet long and one finger wide.
Yuan Yan also looked at the sword hilts seriously, her long eyelashes beating gently, and her eyes became increasingly filled with curiosity and doubt.
She had never heard of any cultivator whose sect had nine identical swords like this.
But she could tell that the hilts of the nine-handled swords were very shiny and smooth to the touch, which meant that this man practiced swordsmanship very diligently and that he could indeed use the nine-handled swords.
The young man in black walked very fast.
He quickly arrived at the hillside where Lin Yi and Li Moxiao were fighting.
The moment he saw clearly the sword marks on the hillside and the battle marks left by Lin Yi and Li Moxiao, the expression on his face became complicated and his pupils shrank slightly.
He paused, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
The magic circle was what he was most proud of, so he didn't need to spend any time. Just by relying on his perception, he already knew that the magic circle on this hillside had indeed been completed.
He walked to the pit where Lin Yi smashed Li Moxiao and glanced at the splashed soil. His face became stiffer and stiffer when he saw the color of the blood mixed in the soil.
Lin Yi and Yuan Yan did not speak.
Both of them were very smart, but just from some changes in the young man in black, they knew that the man in black had figured out the clues.
The young man in black was silent for a long time.
He even discovered the route Li Moxiao left. He turned around slowly, his eyes fell on some dirt and blood on Lin Yi's body, and then said with great difficulty, "Did he fight with you and lose at your hands?
"
Lin Yi nodded.
"You are also a student of Nantianyuan, and you entered the academy after him?" the young man in black asked again.
Lin Yi nodded again.
The young man in black was silent for a moment before he said, "What's your name?"
"Lin Yi." Lin Yi said: "He was born in the sixth year of Tianjian of Nantianyuan."
"My name is Rong Yi, from the Rong family in Shilong County, Luozhou." The young man in black used a lot of effort to finish this sentence.
"A person from Shilong County?"
Lin Yi was stunned immediately.
Shilong County in Luozhou was the southernmost place by the sea in the Southern Dynasty. Whether it was Nanliang at this time or in the previous dynasty, it was a barbaric land. In fact, so far, the Southern Dynasty has no control over these remote counties.
Inadequately, there are not even troops stationed in those places, and it is difficult to exchange letters and trade.
People from those places rarely come to Jiankang, or even have contact with other big cities in the Southern Dynasties. No wonder he found the accent strange. He had never heard such an accent before.
The young man in black remained silent.
He could understand why Lin Yi reacted like this.
Luozhou is too remote, and very few practitioners go to the outside world, and there are even few practitioners.
