Therefore, the outer disciples of the Eighteen Sword Sects are a group of considerable power.

There are a lot of people, and there are also some hidden gems with great potential.

However, the result of having so many people is that the chance to pass the sect's grand examination held every two years and become an inner disciple from an outer disciple is very rare and precious.

Chen Xiaoan didn't think she had such an opportunity this time, but... she thought that the incredibly handsome young man in front of her was definitely the most promising candidate among the outer disciples in the upcoming sect examination.

Who is Xia Xien?

Not only is he well-known among the outer disciples, but many inner disciples should have heard of his name as well.

At the age of sixteen, he is already a fourth-level outer sect genius in the Bone Forging Realm.

It was only because no elders took a fancy to Xia Mian, who was still an insignificant man at the time, that he was allowed to stay in the outer sect.

No one would have thought that in just a few years, this young man had grown to such a level.

Chen Xiaoan admired this man very much, and he did not hide his admiration. Moreover, Xia Mian was prettier than most women. Who could resist looking at him and not falling in love with him?

They were talking peacefully just now, but Chen Xiaoan suddenly noticed that this handsome man had a look of obvious uneasiness on his face, and he frowned.

Xia Mian came back to his senses after hearing the voice and glanced at Chen Xiaoan.

"Ah... It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

Chen Xiaoan asked with concern.

"Is it because the sect exam is approaching and you are under too much pressure?"

Xia Mian smiled, and her smile made people feel like spring breeze and bewitched.

There will probably never be a more beautiful smile than his, right?

"How can there not be a lot of pressure... After all, not every sect exam will have outer disciples pass the test, and competing with inner disciples is a test of huge disparity in strength."

Chen Xiaoan quickly comforted him.

"Don't worry, you can definitely make it... No one has more hope than you this time. Don't worry, you will definitely become an inner disciple this time!"

"Well... Thank you Miss Chen. By the way, it's getting late..."

Chen Xiaoan suddenly blushed, and she hesitated before looking at the handsome boy.

"Well...are you going to rest now? Actually, I have something special to say tonight."

When a woman talks like this, even the dumbest person should be able to figure out something.

But unexpectedly, Xia Mian looked at her with a smile.

"Miss Chen, there are some things I won't plan for before becoming an inner sect disciple, you should know that."

Chen Xiaoan left with some misunderstanding and some regrets.

In the small and not spacious room, there was only this handsome young man.

But the moment Chen Xiaoan left, Xia Mian frowned.

Just now, when I was talking to Chen Xiaoan as usual, I suddenly felt uneasy.

She didn't know where this uneasiness came from, it was as if her heart was being pulled violently by someone.

It's like there's some subtle, unprecedented connection.

The door is tightly closed.

She sighed.

Then she returned to bed. She was in no mood to look at the bright moonlight outside.

He took off his coat, revealing his fair and clear shoulders, looking like a woman.

The curvy clavicle is even more delicate and charming. It seems a bit out of place on a man, and what's even more out of place is...

As soon as he lowered his head, he could see the white cloth wrapped around his chest, even tightly strangling and binding his secrets.

Xia Mian frowned.

"Forget it, I won't take this off... The closer we get to the big exam, the more careful we have to be."

Lying on the bed, Xia Mian thought of Chen Xiaoan who had just left her room, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry... you got the wrong person."

Xia Mian turned over and used her slender and smooth legs to slightly clamp the quilt... Her feet, which were smaller than those of an ordinary man but more delicate and translucent, shone like jade in the faint moonlight...

"Master, these are the accounts submitted by the eighteen mountains. I have sorted out the details and marked out any discrepancies or inaccuracies. Master, please take another look."

The sound of gurgling water surrounds a quiet pavilion and waterside terrace.

This pavilion seems to be built on a lake, revealing a sense of beauty that is isolated from the world.

Just like the silver-haired woman who is quietly looking out the window at this moment.

She stood there, as if the beauty of the whole world would be eclipsed by her, whether it was her facial features that seemed to be carefully carved, or her inherent majesty and unique temperament that could not be violated.

Song Xiyan turned around when she heard the voice.

I saw a long-haired girl holding a thick file and standing respectfully behind me.

Beautiful facial features and a cool temperament.

Whenever the disciples of the Eighteen Sword Sect saw her, they would sigh that she looked very much like someone.

A shadow that has always lived in Song Xiyan's heart. This may be the reason why Song Xiyan accepted Yu Nuan as her personal disciple.

When Song Xiyan saw her, she would always think of Lin Yan from many years ago, the junior sister who was not as cold and distant to her as she is now.

However, Yu Nuan's talent is also outstanding, which is why she can obtain such a unique status.

More importantly, this girl learns everything very quickly. Whether it is sword or accounts, she can handle it very well. To a certain extent, she helps to share a lot of work. What's more, she is loyal.

Song Xiyan smiled and stretched out her hand, gently covering the other person's soft back of the hand.

Yu Nuan's body trembled slightly, and she raised her head, her eyes trembling a little.

The woman laughed.

"I am very confident about the things you have seen, just put them aside."

After saying this, her fingers gently slid across the back of the other person's hand, then pulled away.

There was a subtle hint of disappointment in Yu Nuan's eyes, but she just nodded.

"Um."

Watching Yu Nuan's methodical movements, Song Xiyan thought for a moment and asked.

"How is your practice going?"

Yu Nuan answered in a low voice.

"It's almost there. Thank you, Sect Master, for the elixir you gave me. I feel I'm getting closer and closer to breaking through."

"very good."

Song Xiyan nodded.

This girl not only helps him deal with some of the sect's affairs, but also ensures that his cultivation progress is far ahead of other young disciples, which is enough to prove her talent.

Song Xiyan would naturally not mistreat a talent who was loyal to her and could be entrusted with a great task.

"I have also chosen a paradise for you to retreat. In a few days...well, after the sect exam is over, there will be some quiet time. You can retreat during that time."

Yu Nuan nodded.

"Thank you, Master, for considering your disciple."

Song Xiyan smiled indifferently.

But she asked soon.

"By the way, what's the latest news about Chen Jianshan?"

Yu Nuan knew very well that the sect leader had a special interest in Chen Jianshan, not because Chen Jianshan was so important, but because the woman in Chen Jianshan was particularly important.

She answered softly.

"There was no major incident. After the incident at Jingxin Academy last time... Mountain Master Lin Yan slapped Chen Jiurang in the face and said some very harsh words in public."

Song Xiyan smiled.

"That's her temper...but does this count as standing up for that young man?"

Yu Nuan did not answer, she just continued to speak.

"Then... Mountain Master Lin Yan seemed to be in a bad mood in the next few days, and he became much stricter with his disciples' training."

This sentence made a gleam of light flash in Song Xiyan's beautiful eyes.

She frowned slightly.

A person's mood changes are never without reason, let alone someone as stable as Lin Yan... Who caused all this? Was it because of the person who appeared in Jingxin Academy, or because of that young man?

Thinking of the handsome face of that young man, she couldn't help but care.

"What about the guy named Xu Qingyan? Has he done anything special recently?"

"It seems not. Except for the time when Pei Yu, the master of Xueyu Mountain, sent someone to invite him to Xueyu Mountain, all his actions seemed very ordinary, even a little lazy."

"Slacking off? Playing tricks or just playing it down... You just said Pei Yu sent someone to invite him to Xueyu Mountain?"

"Yes, Master."

This made Song Xiyan fall into deep thought.

In her opinion, there was no reason for a woman like Pei Yu to be related to Xu Qingyan. One was the mountain master, and the other was a disciple. Moreover, they were not on the same mountain... Even if she had allowed herself to sink into depravity because of what happened in the past, she would not have found such a disciple in the Bone Tempering Realm, right?

That's just too depraved.

Could it be something else? Could these two be... planning some weird plan?

Song Xiyan calmed down and felt that she couldn't let this detail go.

"Keep a close eye on them. Tell me immediately if there is any strange movement."

"I understand, Master."

A breeze blew over the lake, like a cold beauty frowning quietly.

The moonlight shines, the water sparkles, and it is very beautiful.

But Song Xiyan was in no mood to appreciate it. She had always believed in her intuition. It was her vague intuition that made her make the right choices in many key choices in her life.

That's why he has gradually ascended to the pinnacle of power among the Eighteen Sword Sects.

Recently, she had a strange intuition, as if something was happening without her knowing.

As for when it appeared... it was after the day at Jingxin Academy.

This wonderful intuition told me that the handsome boy whom I had never noticed before but had noticed again and again since that day would have a serious impact on me.

She had no idea what it was.

But she needs to pay attention to Xu Qingyan.

Of course...if necessary, she wouldn't mind erasing it herself.

He was just a man with average cultivation and talent. If he disappeared... it wouldn't cause any waves here.

The key, of course, is not to let him stir up any storm that would catch you off guard.

More importantly, why is he so special to Lin Yan?

"Yu Nuan."

Song Xiyan thought of something.

Yu Nuan behind her raised her head. Even though the woman had been silent for a long time, she did not slack off.

"The disciple is here."

Under the bright moonlight, the light illuminates the proud curves of Song Xiyan's chest, which looks moist and graceful.

"Tomorrow is the sect's big exam, right?"

"Yes."
