"sit."

Lin Yan was not used to Mei Jiangxue's sudden appearance of her young daughter's cute and naive attitude, Lin Yan said with a dull smile, and then thought of the affair between the two that was rumored in Xiaoshui City recently, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"I'm going to make tea."

As soon as Mei Jiangxue sat down at the small stone round table in the courtyard, Lin Yan couldn't sit still, and hurried back into the house to make tea.

Finally, when the two sat face to face, the awkward atmosphere was relieved a lot, and Lin Yan returned to his usual appearance.

"Miss Jiangxue wants to ask me for something?"

Mei Jiangxue nodded slightly, looked at Lin Yan and said, "I'm going to recommend you."

Lin Yan immediately understood what seemed to be a silly sentence.

And just because he understood this sentence, Lin Yan almost swallowed the hot tea that was sent to his mouth in one gulp!

How precious the nomination quota is, he naturally understands that Mei Jiangxue does not use this quota to recommend members of the Qingwu Sect. Fortunately, most of the city's competitions bring back honors for the Qingwu Sect, but she uses it to recommend herself?

Of course, Lin Yan didn't believe that this was just Mei Jiangxue's joke. In fact, after referring to what Mei Jiangxue asked in the square at noon the day before yesterday, Lin Yan knew that it was Mei Jiangxue who was helping him.And to try to persuade the elders of Qingwumen to give him a precious spot to an outsider, Mei Jiangxue must have paid a lot.

Lin Yan couldn't help being moved, although he also understood that from the analysis of Mei Jiangxue's cautious expression, I am afraid that this time he came here not only to inform him of the news, but also for other things. To get this quota and become the lucky one who can enter the final competition, do you want to do something for Qingwumen in turn?

Mei Jiangxue is a smart person, so she also knew that Lin Yan was a smart person, so she didn't go around any circles and said directly: "But the condition for you to be recommended is to join my Qingwu Sect and become a master of Qingjue." Uncle's sect, representing my Qingwu sect to participate in the city-wide competition."

When she said this, Mei Jiangxue was very uneasy, because she was afraid that Lin Yan would refuse directly and rudely, but to her surprise, until she finished saying this, Lin Yan was still sitting opposite her, even Yu didn't even put down the teacup in his hand.

"Lin Yan, tell me what you think."

However, Mei Jiangxue was not so naive as to think that Lin Yan was overjoyed, she knew Lin Yan well.

"Thank you Miss Jiangxue for your kindness." Lin Yanqing said coldly.

Mei Jiangxue sighed softly in her heart, no matter how fierce or cold Lin Yan reacted, it had already shown that Lin Yan directly rejected the proposal.

"why?"

But Mei Jiangxue still wanted to ask the reason. It seemed that after two days of hard work and dedication, she had finally achieved this matter, but the man on the opposite side easily denied it with one sentence, which made her feel very wronged and sad for no reason.

"Miss Jiangxue, I know that you must have paid a lot to help me get this quota. I am very grateful to you, but I can only appreciate your kindness and cannot accept it. If I insist on telling the reason, I will just It can be said that I don't like being restrained, especially in this kind of environment similar to trading. Before ten years, I lived in Xiafu and worked as a handyman for ten full years. Now, I want to be myself .”

When Mei Jiangxue first heard it, her expression was quite normal. After all, Lin Yan finally understood her good intentions, but later when Lin Yan mentioned the word transaction, she felt a little annoyed.

"In the final analysis, you just think that you can only enter the final competition with the help of the Qingwumen. The condition proposed by the Qingwumen is a kind of charity for you. For you, it is a shame to participate in this way. Yes or no?"

Mei Jiangxue was annoyed and forced her to ask questions.

"Yes, that's what I think." Lin Yan admitted generously, "I have nothing to do with Qingwumen itself, and I can't talk about any good feelings, but for this competition, I am required to join the sect, I can't do it , This is not only related to my face, but also my dignity. If I rely on this to qualify for the competition, I refuse to accept it and would rather participate in the knockout round."

After hearing this, Mei Jiangxue simply sneered, and said, "You probably know that you won't be able to pass the knockout round! As the saying goes, those who make big things don't care about small things. You are eager to become one of the new top ten young masters so that you can enter Tiandi City, but you ask yourself For a moment, if you lose the qualification to sponsor this time, will you be able to succeed? I only know that face and dignity are sometimes vain, and in order to achieve a certain goal, you have to pay another price!"

Mei Jiangxue said tit-for-tat that she herself didn't know why she was so excited today, maybe she was annoyed at Lin Yan's refusal, which had the meaning of hating iron but not steel.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Mei Jiangxue's reaction to be so intense, and it took a long time to break the silence.

"Miss Jiangxue, I admit that what you said is reasonable, but whether it is about my freedom, face or dignity, I can't accept such conditions anyway. I can't worship Qingwumen. Let me tell you the truth, once After joining Qingwumen, after I became a disciple of Qingwumen, I can only focus on Xiaoshui City in my life. However, if I have the opportunity, I will leave Xiaoshuicheng. This is not a place where I should stay for a long time. "

Lin Yan finally revealed the most important reason for refusing to join Qingwumen.He wants to return to Tiandi City and seek justice from the Lin family, so he can only act alone. If the Qingwumen stands behind him, if he is in danger, the Qingwumen will probably be implicated. This is also what Lin Yan is worried about. However, he She didn't say it in front of Mei Jiangxue.

Hearing Lin Yan say that Xiaoshui City is not his permanent place of residence, Mei Jiangxue felt a faint sense of loss in her heart, and then she thought about what Lin Yan said, and had to admit that what Lin Yan said made sense.

If you really become a disciple of Qingwumen, especially Qingjue's apprentice, you will have to follow the master's requirements in many aspects in the future. Lin Yan is right to think from his standpoint.

"But, are you just wasting this opportunity for nothing?"

Lin Yan smiled and asked back, "What else can I do?"

Mei Jiangxue was taken aback for a moment, knowing that if Lin Yan rejected this proposal, Master Qingjue and Master Tianxuan would definitely not relax the conditions, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Thinking of this, Mei Jiangxue sighed, and said, "Then you should cancel this registration. It will be difficult for you to be strong enough to compete with others in a month's time."

Lin Yan shook his head and insisted on his own ideas. "I have already signed up. I will definitely participate in the knockout round. Even if I fail, I have worked hard after all. Miss Jiangxue, I really want to thank you this time, for helping me so much for the recommendation."

Mei Jiangxue smiled absent-mindedly, stood up and prepared to leave: "I will tell the head of your decision. It's the same sentence, if you need anything, just go to Qingwu Mountain to find me, this time I didn't help you, your help The kindness can only be saved in the future and slowly find opportunities to repay it.”

Lin Yan sent Mei Jiangxue out of the courtyard.

Then, Mei Jiangxue continued to run, her slim figure jumping on the countryside fields like a nimble butterfly.

Lin Yan watched for a while, until Mei Jiangxue turned a corner and the figure was no longer visible, then she withdrew her gaze.

Walking back to the small stone round table, looking at the half-drunk bowl of tea on the opposite side, sitting on the stone bench, some miss that beautiful face, but then he smiled wryly. Right now, cultivation is the most important thing. In terms of emotion, he really only Can temporarily ignore.

Lin Yan didn't think about how Qing Absolute would react. For three days in a row, he stayed in the small courtyard in the countryside and practiced bitterly.

The focus of cultivation is naturally vitality.As for martial arts, apart from the few sword moves that he had learned in the Xia Mansion, Lin Yan hadn’t been in contact with them. Firstly, there were no books introducing martial arts moves. Secondly, the main reason is that now he mainly needs to improve his vitality level, and strive to reach the metamorphosis earlier. Everywhere.

The knockout round will begin in one month. Although he knows that the chances of winning are slim, he still wants to give it a try. As long as he can pass this hurdle, he can make a lot of progress in the remaining nine months and become the new top ten of Xiaoshui City. It is not impossible for young masters.

After these three days of painstaking practice, he felt that he had made some progress in the Eighth Heaven of the Innate Realm. Although he still hadn't touched the barrier at the peak of the Eighth Heaven, he thought it wouldn't take long before he could break through.

After three days of training, it happened that the rice and oil at home were all used up, so Lin Yan thought about going to the market to buy some, and stopped by Tie Niu's house for a chat.

When I walked to the street near the pier, I suddenly heard someone talking next to me, saying that Niutoushan seems to be moving again, just like an earthquake, and several sects in Xiaoshui City have rushed to Niutoushan to find out.

Lin Yan stopped immediately, listened for a while and asked again, and finally confirmed that the news was not groundless.

Lin Yan returned in a hurry, first ran back to the courtyard and put the long sword on his body, and then walked towards the direction of Niutoushan.

Lin Yan vaguely felt that the unusual reappearance of Niutoushan should be related to the long sword with only a silver hilt exposed in the cave.

Mei Jiangxue once said that the corridor is a sealed place, and the stone cave is another independent sealed place in this seal, and the seal level is higher. The change of the sword in the stone wall caused the seal to loosen, and as a result, the sealed unknown thing began to move around...

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Yan naturally remembered the scene that happened that day when he and Mei Jiangxue stared at the silver sword hilt before leaving the cave.

At that time, he glanced at the silver hilt, but felt that the sword came out of the stone wall, came alive, and brought him a psychological chill.

Lin Yan felt that it was necessary for him to visit the cave again.

Carrying that ordinary fine steel long sword on his back, Lin Yan did not go directly to Niutou Mountain from Xiaoshui City like other people, but chose to go to Qingyang Town first, then follow the big river to the mouth of the waterfall, and then drilled into the woods, heading towards the memory. Walk to the cave that helped him get rid of Xia Mansion's pursuit, surrounded by a few pine trees.
