Tong Yan calculated it silently and said, "Ten years."
Both of them seemed to recall the time when they met, and the scene became a little quiet.
Tong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and his voice became a little lower.
"Su Mu, you came to me suddenly. My uncle, aunt, and sister..." What do you want to do? Are you willing to do it?
Relatives were reunited after being separated for many years, but they were separated in just a few months and could not see each other again until their death.
Shen Zhuangheng was silent for a while, with a look of shame in his eyes, "I am sorry for my parents and cannot be filial to them. Yan Yan, you don't have to worry about it. This is a decision I made myself. I have my sister and Senior Brother Xiao here." , they will be able to enjoy their old age in peace."
When he received a letter from Li Ran saying that the formation had been repaired and would be launched soon, he also fell into endless struggle and hesitation.
On one side are his biological parents who reunited, and on the other side is Tong Yan, who has been dependent on each other for many years. No matter which side is important to him.
Because of the hesitation in those few days, it was too late to rush to Tianqing Mountain, and he could only barely fall into the formation, but failed to grab Tong Yan's hand, so they were separated for several years.
Fortunately, before he left, he had prepared for the worst and said goodbye to his family. If he could not persuade Tong Yan to return, he would follow her to the world of cultivation.
Tong Yan sighed and said nothing.
A casual question he made made the scene a bit heavy, so Huo Qizhi had no choice but to change the topic again to break the atmosphere.
"Registration for the sect competition has started. Yanyan, you should register tomorrow."
"?" Tong Yan was stunned by Huo Qizhi's name. Only Su Mu had ever called Yan Yan this name, and it always felt weird to be called by other people.
She concealed her slight discomfort and said, "You can go and have a look tomorrow. There are several days left to sign up, so don't be in a hurry."
As soon as the topic was changed, the scene was finally no longer as boring as before.
Tong Yan looked at Shen Zhuangheng: "Huang Chen's secret realm will open next year, otherwise you can come with us."
Shen Zhuangheng had just found someone, so naturally he would not leave easily. He nodded in agreement: "Okay."
It would be more convenient to protect her if we go in together.
The conversation lasted until late at night while reminiscing about old times. Tong Yan wanted to go back to Luohua Peak to rest. When he left, he made an appointment with Shen Zhuangheng to visit Yatai City tomorrow.
When I came back, I saw the lights in the yard were brightly lit. Could it be that He Zhan and the others were still awake?
After entering, she saw He Zhan sitting alone in front of her door, with a bright fire behind him. He sat alone on the steps, feeling inexplicably lonely.
Tong Yan called him: "A Zhan?"
Seeing that she was finally back, He Zhan raised his head and smiled at her: "Sister Yan, you are back."
"What are you doing sitting here, still up so late?"
"Not sleepy yet." He Zhan stood up and looked at her, "You came back very late today. I made soup for you, but it must be cold now. I'll go and heat it up for you."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen. Tong Yan had no time to say anything he wanted to say.
She wanted to say that she had already eaten it. But since He Zhan had been waiting for her for so long and went out of his way to warm it up, she could not refuse his offer anymore.
Tong Yan went into the room to wait for someone, and took out some of the pastries that Shen Zhuangheng had brought, planning to give them to He Zhan and the others later.
Not long after, He Zhan came in with a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her.
He Zhan said a little shyly: "This year when you are away, I will learn to make something to eat by myself. You can try how it tastes."
The chicken soup seems to have been simmered for a long time, and there is also a chicken leg that has been stewed completely off the bone. The thick soup is flavored with a dozen chopped green onions, and it is full of flavor.
I saw that he was very attentive.
Tong Yan sipped the soup and pushed the cakes in front of He Zhan, "These cakes are for you to eat."
He Zhan could tell at a glance that these pastries were not found in Yatai City.
"Sister Yan, are you going to meet your friends from afar today?"
"Well, yes, I will take him to the city tomorrow. Are you willing to go?"
He Zhan smiled and said, "I'm willing to go."
The next day, I took Shen Zhuangheng around for a walk, introduced He Zhan and the others, and also signed up for the foundation-building competition.
Time passed by and we came to the first day of the sect competition.
The preliminary test, Qi training period and foundation building period will start at the same time. Each person will have a number plate and will be randomly matched with disciples of the same level to compete with them. The winner can wait for the second round of competition.
In the first test, half of the disciples will be eliminated.
In the second round of the competition, a group of four people compete against each other to win the ring. Finally, the two champions win the ring, and the winner enters the competition.
Here, three-quarters of the disciples are eliminated.
If there is one more person in the match at the end, they will be promoted directly. The winner of the two will be promoted, and the same will be true for the three.
After the competition, there will be a multi-player melee promotion competition. All the winners will be randomly divided into ten groups, and those who fall out of the competition stage within the specified time will be eliminated.
There must be no more than two people left on each stage, otherwise it will be considered a failure and everyone will be eliminated.
The winner of the promotion round can participate in the finals to determine the final winner.
The first two days are preliminary trials. The masters will hide their true strength, and the matches between the weak disciples are just novices pecking each other. Therefore, except for their own playing time, most disciples will not come to the stadium to watch the game.
In the first test, everyone's strength varied. It was normal for the opponent's strength to be either hugely different or almost the same, so Tong Yan had a very easy time the first time.
The opponent is a girl who has just established her foundation. She looks a little ordinary, with a round face and a smile, and she looks soft.
Tong Yan did not strike hard, but fought with her back and forth for more than twenty moves before defeating her.
The girl knew she would lose when she came on stage, and she was very grateful to Tong Yan for showing mercy. After being knocked off the stage, the girl gave her a friendly smile.
It would be great if there were more kind girls like this. Is training just for fighting and killing? When will the salty fish life of her dream come true?
After getting off the competition platform, Shen Zhuangheng was waiting for her not far away. Because of his outstanding appearance, he frequently attracted female disciples to look over him.
Just as she was about to walk over, someone next to her suddenly called out to her. She looked towards the source of the sound, and it turned out to be Tang Wuchuan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
At this moment, he folded his arms and looked here, and said with a slight sarcasm: "You are so stubborn in the first try. Do you think you are dancing? If you only have this strength, I will brush you off in the competition."
It seemed that he had finished watching her competition.
After having a drink together last time, Tong Yan felt a lot better about him. Tang Wuchuan was like a child who had been robbed of candy. Although he was a little arrogant, he would not necessarily harm her.
Thanks to Shang Xun, she began to think about the people around her who might be hidden bombs.
But she only knew a few people, and she really couldn't think of a reason.
Tang Wuchuan had already become a disciple and basically had no direct conflict of interest with her. Thinking of this, Tong Yan slowed down his tone and spoke as if chatting with a friend.
"Have you had your first trial?"
Tang Wuchuan looked at her strangely. Although he and Tong Yan were not mortal enemies, she usually had a lot of scorn on her face, but today she actually became friendly. How could he not find it strange?
