Almighty Ring
Chapter 403 The Relationship Between Men and Women
"That's true." Master Yuanyang frowned, "But this possibility will not happen. Do you think there is anything in the world today that is worth their pursuit? Big scale!"
"Hehe." Song Xuan smiled softly, "In my opinion, there is no possibility that Jitianmen dispatched so many people at once for the sake of experience. They let our disciples see so many people at once, which is deterrent. It means, to be more precise, in my opinion, it is very likely that we people will not interfere with what they are going to do next, what do you think?"
"Yes, that's right."
"I think so too!"
The three of them nodded in agreement.
The four of them talked about Jitianmen for a long time, but they didn't really figure out a clue, because Jitianmen was too unfamiliar to them. Except for a lot of spirit stones, I don't know anything about the others.
Finally, Song Xuan said directly, "I have a proposal, I don't know what you think!"
"Master Song, tell me." The other three said in unison.
"According to what I mean, we will meet with the people from Jitianmen for a while to see what they are going to do. If the problem is not serious, we can help. If there is anything else, we will have a look and talk about it at that time, so as not to save us I am like a headless chicken, pondering over and over again, to be honest, I am quite curious about this Jitianmen." Song Xuan smiled and said.
"Don't say you're curious, I'm just as curious." Yuan Yang said, "I agree with what you said."
"I agree."
"I agree."
Hua Luoli and Xiao Wuhen nodded.
"That's good. If that's the case, Palace Master Xiao. See if you can get Wen Yanhong, the elder under your sect, to contact you to see what the Jitianmen mean. Also, remember to ask Wen Yanhong to tell the other party that we have absolutely no Malice." Song Xuan said.
Xiao Wuhen immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I'll contact you right away to see what the other party has to say, just wait a moment."
After the words fell.Xiao Wuhen soared into the sky. He had been born several times with such things as cell phones, so he naturally had them too. However, this place belongs to a no-signal zone, so even if you want to make a phone call, you have to find a place with a signal.
After a moment.
Xiao Wuhen rushed back and said, "Wen Yanhong just contacted him and said that the other party has a mobile phone, but he did have a mobile phone. But he couldn't get through at all. As for the most fundamental thing about those people, he said he didn't know, but I I have already told him to make more calls, do you think you should wait now, or what?"
"Wait first, but you don't need to wait here, or even if the other party has a reply, your mobile phone will not be able to receive it. I will go to my house and wait in a villa in the suburbs of Qinghai. When the time comes, whether you meet or not It's also convenient, do you think it's okay?" Song Xuan said.
"No problem." The other three people answered and stood up. Naturally, they didn't forget to change their secular clothes. Otherwise, with their current attire, they would not be treated like gorillas by others. As for Hua For Luo Li, she put another human skin mask on her face, because she knew very well that going out with such an appearance would definitely attract some unsightly people.
It didn't take long.
The four of them came to a luxurious single-family villa, and chatted when they had nothing to do. For them, a day, a week, or even a month was nothing. Now let them practice or something , Obviously, they will not be in the mood to practice, so it is better to exchange some more useful things. In the past, these people would meet for a certain period of time every ten years or so, to discuss and make progress together.
They talked like this for five hours.
Xiao Wuhen's cell phone rang suddenly, he turned it out and saw it was an unfamiliar call, he answered without thinking, "Who is it?"
"Hehe, I'm Xu Jianxing." Xu Jianxing smiled lightly and said, "I'm also a representative of Jitianmen. I don't know what you want to say?"
Xiao Wuhen's eyes lit up, he scanned the surrounding people, and then said, "We have a lot to talk about, and I wonder if we can meet and talk."
"No problem!" Xu Jianxing shrugged his shoulders. With the foreshadowing ahead, he really didn't worry about anything. He also believed that as long as these people were not stupid, they wouldn't mess around.The most important thing is that Xu Jianxing is also very clear in his heart that it will be difficult to hide his true face in front of these people, no matter whether he uses his cultivation to change the changes in his muscles, or wears some mask-like cosmetics, the same is true. Since this is the case, it is better to be more generous and directly say your real name. Of course, there will be a lot of calculations in it.
In addition, Xu Jianxing also believed that these few people would definitely not connect him with the real Feiyu who appeared before.And the foreshadowing in front is his backstage.
more than an hour later.
Xu Jianxing came to the gate of the villa that Xiao Wuhen mentioned. For him, with the existence of the little panda, it is not so difficult to find any place in the world.
Xu Jianxing smiled lightly, and stepped forward to ring the doorbell. Almost the moment Xu Jianxing rang the doorbell, the door opened, and Song Xuan and the others appeared in front of Xu Jianxing.
Before a few people could speak, Xu Jianxing smiled lightly, "I'm Xu Jianxing!"
Hearing this, Song Xuan and the others frowned slightly. The main reason was that Xu Jianxing was too young. In the cultivation world, although a person's age was not valued too much, they felt that if they wanted to reach a certain level of cultivation, they would naturally have to There are some appearances.
According to Xu Jianxing's appearance, at most they thought that Xu Jianxing was an inner sect or an elite disciple. In terms of status, they were not at the same level at all. The one who appeared in front of them was the head of Jitianmen.
However, even if they didn't think of it, they could feel it again with their perception ability.Song Xuan and the others were shocked.Eyes dumbfounded.Because they already knew Xu Jianxing's cultivation level, which was not a big deal to them. Xu Jianxing also put away the protection of the special battle suit, which is why they could see it at a glance. What Xu Jianxing did was another deterrent.
"Huh!" Song Xuan took a deep breath.He smiled heartily, "Little brother is amazing. It seems that we have almost reached the middle stage of foundation establishment without major cultivation. We old guys seem to be really old."
"You are being polite." Xu Jianxing said without humility.
"Okay, Brother Xu, let's go in and talk. I'm Song Xuan from Immortal Sword Gate." Song Xuan smiled and made a gesture.
"En." Xu Jianxing nodded with a smile, and followed Song Xuan's footsteps.
Song Xuan said pretending not to care as he walked. "Brother Xu, how old are you?"
"It's going to be 26 soon." Xu Jianxing smiled softly.His birthday is in March, so naturally it will be here soon. When Song Xuan asked what he meant, Xu Jianxing knew very well that it was nothing more than a test, and he wanted to check the overall strength of Jitianmen through his age. how.
Xu Jianxing fulfilled Song Xuan's wish, but this kind of wish stunned Song Xuan and others. Even the walking steps stopped suddenly. In their sect, even if they are vigorously supporting A junior, if the latter wants to cultivate to the foundation establishment stage, he must be over 60 years old, even if that is the case, in the case of the latter's talent is very good, according to some records in their respective schools, 60 years old is also the fastest.For example, Song Xuan among them reached the foundation-building stage at the age of 62.Not to mention how much tempering he has gone through, just talking about the consumption of spirit stones and elixirs is a lot of money.Of course, this kind of figure is really nothing compared to Xu Jianxing's current social status.The talent of his family is a big problem.
After Song Xuan was stunned for a while, he said in disbelief, "Brother Xu, are you kidding me?"
"Just treat me as a joke." Xu Jianxing smiled slightly. It is not difficult for practitioners like them to detect a person's age, but Xu Jianxing will never let them use this method It's just to detect, because this method needs to transfer the vitality into his body, how could Xu Jianxing be willing.
After finishing speaking, Song Xuan also felt that what he said was a bit abrupt, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother Xu."
"It's okay." Xu Jianxing smiled.
Regarding what Xu Jianxing said just now, Song Xuan and the others naturally had doubts, but now is obviously not the time to pursue this matter, and it is impossible for them to pursue anything.
After a while, he came to the living room and sat down.
Song Xuan introduced them one by one, "Brother Xu, this is Xiao Wuhen, the lord of Wentian Mansion, this is Yuanyang Daoist of Wuwei Sect, and this is Hua Luoli, the flower lord of Baihua Palace."
"I've admired you for a long time." Xu Jianxing smiled and nodded to the three of them. For Hua Luoli, Xu Jianxing's smile was more meaningful, and he took a few more glances.
Seeing it, Hua Luoli somehow remembered something, and smiled apologetically, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry for wearing a human skin mask. The main thing is that I'm afraid of causing something, not trying to hide it."
While speaking, Hua Luoli took off the mask. When Hua Luoli revealed her peerless face, it seemed that a hundred flowers bloomed, which made Xu Jianxing's mind freeze, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but praise, " What a nice view."
However, Xu Jianxing recovered after just a moment of absence. Of course, Xu Jianxing had never seen such a peerless woman in the real world, but he had seen many in the game world, and she still had some concentration.
Seeing Xu Jianxing recovering his sanity so quickly, not only did Song Xuan and the others look surprised, even Hua Luoli was no exception, even the three of them couldn't help thinking, "Could this be the real disciple of the hidden sect?" ?”
Xu Jianxing pondered for a while, and then said, "Master Hua, I took a second look at you just now, not because you were wearing a human skin mask, but because I have something to do with you."
"Is it implicated?" Hua Luoli was stunned for a moment, then said, "What is it that implicates me?"
"I have something to do with Hua Ziyan from your palace, that is, the Bauhinia under your seat. I want to take her out of the Baihua Palace." Xu Jianxing said bluntly. This so-called Hua Ziyan is naturally Ye Hongying. Hua Luoli didn't know Ye Hongying's secular name, so he said that.
"What?" Hua Luoli was startled when he heard the words, and immediately fell silent, and said again, "Can I ask what kind of connection you two have?"
Xu Jianxing laughed dryly, and said, "It's the relationship between a man and a woman. I don't like to beat around the bush. I always speak straight when I have something to say. I also know your family rules, so..."
When Xu Jianxing said this, he just waved his hand, and a pile of pseudo-spiritual stones appeared on the ground suddenly, exuding a charming brilliance. In another shock of Hualuoli and the others, Xu Jianxing said, "Here is the 3 yuan Lingshi Shi, it's my dowry, what do you think?"
Hua Luoli glanced at Xu Jianxing in surprise, without too much hesitation, and said directly, "Since Mr. Xu is so happy, then I won't say much. I wish Mr. Xu and Zi Yan a happy marriage for a hundred years."
3 yuan in Lingshi is not a small number even for Hua Luoli. Although she is more willing to rely on the situation of a strong alliance to make friends with the mysterious Jitianmen behind Xu Jianxing, but seeing Xu Jianxing being so direct, she feels a little bit in her heart. I understand that this is a master whose one is one and the other is two. What's more, if there are really unexpected things in the future, at most, she is planning. It's not a big deal, and it's not worth thinking about too much.
"Thank you, Palace Master Hua." Xu Jianxing smiled and said, this method, like human trafficking, made Xu Jianxing somewhat uncomfortable, but the fact is that, he can only follow the trend.
"Haha!" Song Xuan laughed loudly, "Congratulations Brother Xu, the beauty you hug is back."
"Congratulations Brother Xu, the beautiful woman you hugged is back." Yuan Yang Zhenren and Xiao Wuhen also followed closely.
"Thank you three masters." Xu Jianxing responded with a smile.
Afterwards, Song Xuan asked curiously, "Brother Xu, seeing how powerful you are, do you think your status in Jitianmen is not low?"
"It's okay. It's not convenient for me to disclose what it is, but I think you will know one day in the future." Xu Jianxing smiled mysteriously.
Looking at Xu Jianxing's expression, Song Xuan was a little puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask. As for the guess in his heart, he had some suspicions that Xu Jianxing was the young master of the Jitian sect or the true disciple of the master. After all, how can it be possible for the children of ordinary sects to be so amazing when they make a move. Even if they are the masters of the sect, they are not as good as them. At this moment, Song Xuan and others are one point more I believe that the Jitianmen, the force that Xu Jianxing belongs to, may really be the real hidden gate.
After thinking for a while, Song Xuan asked the doubts in his heart, and said, "Brother Xu, is the Jitianmen you are in a real hidden gate?"
"No." Xu Jianxing smiled and shook. Xu Jianxing had already expected this question, so there was no need to hesitate.
"That's it?" Song Xuan asked in surprise, and the other three looked at Xu Jianxing with concern. (To be continued..)
"Hehe." Song Xuan smiled softly, "In my opinion, there is no possibility that Jitianmen dispatched so many people at once for the sake of experience. They let our disciples see so many people at once, which is deterrent. It means, to be more precise, in my opinion, it is very likely that we people will not interfere with what they are going to do next, what do you think?"
"Yes, that's right."

Song Xuan smiled and said.

"I agree."
"I agree."
Hua Luoli and Xiao Wuhen nodded.
