"Go check on Xu Qingyan for me."

If I remember correctly, the clan leader had already arranged an opponent for the young man a few days ago, but now this means...

"Master, aren't you going?" She was a little surprised.

Song Xiyan turned around, smiled and looked at the girl who looked like Lin Yan when she was young and said.

"Out there, you more or less represent me, so just go. There will be more things like this that I'll need you to do for me in the future, so get used to it."

Yu Nuan's heart suddenly felt shy and excited.

She immediately bowed her head respectfully.

"The disciple is terrified..."

"Don't be afraid, I believe in you."

"Yes! I will definitely do it for the master."

Seeing Yu Nuan leave with obvious trembling, the kind smile on Song Xiyan's face immediately disappeared.

In fact, she was not unwilling to show up for the so-called training of Yu Nuan, it was just a simple matter.

She didn't want others to think that she was too concerned about the result of the exam by being there in person, as if the boy had a special identity. How could that be possible?

Moreover, unless something unexpected happens to the opponent I arranged for him, there is no way he will pass.

Song Xiyan is very confident in her arrangements.

She was more concerned about another possibility.

"If he doesn't pass...what will you give for him, Lin Yan..."

As for that handsome young man... he was just a pawn used as a tool.

Who cares? No one cares.

When the sun rises, the morning dew gently sways on the green leaves, about to fall.

Xu Qingyan opened his eyes.

Looking at the bright sunlight outside.

"It is truly the rising sun..."

He sat up and tied his long hair casually.

Looking at his own flawless and handsome face in the bronze mirror, he knew exactly what would happen on that day.

Sect Examination.

And I will meet a man named Xia Mian, who seems to be as good-looking as me.

But how could she be a man?

A character who plays one of the main characters but has a true identity that cannot be known by others, and even dresses up as a man for this purpose.

We will meet soon.

The young man stood up and put on his pure white clothes that were spotless and not stained by dust.

He has a sunny smile.

"Planning begins."

I have been feeling a little uneasy these past few days of summer hibernation.

It seems that I am still affected by the subtle feeling I had a few days ago.

Could it be that there will be an unexpected event in this sect exam that I have been preparing for for a long time?

But it is absolutely impossible to give up this opportunity just because of this vague intuition to avoid danger.

He put on a blue shirt, tied up his hair, and used the contouring tools he had prepared to slightly adjust the lines of his facial features, making him look tougher and more masculine.

When she walked out of the door again, she saw the handsome young man who was unforgettable in the outer gate.

"Mr. Xia... Today is the sect's big exam, you must do your best. I heard that the sect master specially arranged an opponent for you, which shows that he is very optimistic about you."

Chen Xiaoan said this to Xia Mian in front of him.

She knew that the master had specially arranged an opponent for her, Xia Mian, a few days ago, and she was also a little confused.

Why did the rules suddenly change?

The sect examination is an assessment for all disciples of the Eighteen Sword Sects. It is a competition to determine who is better. Generally speaking, disciples with similar strength will be selected as opponents to avoid strong vs. weak confrontations.

Of course, the inner disciples who ranked last in the sect would need to compete with the outer disciples. The loser would become an outer disciple and would have to wait another two years before having the chance to become an inner disciple again.

Therefore, the sect's grand examination is a hanging sword that urges inner disciples to practice.

On the one hand, it also gives outer disciples a chance to make the leap from a carp to a dragon.

So basically it is the elders in charge of these matters who will sort and compare, and make decisions based on the disciples' cultivation at the time.

It seems that there has never been a precedent where the leader of a sect personally arranges a duel between two parties, not to mention that one of them is an outer disciple...

In the eyes of others, perhaps it was the importance attached to Xia Mian, a unique outer disciple.

But Xia Mian didn't think so. She felt something was wrong. But now that things had come to this, there was no more room for maneuver.

You need to take a risk yourself.

Xia Mian unconsciously stroked the jade pendant hanging on her fair and slender neck.

As a last resort...do I need it?

"Maybe... maybe he just wants to teach me a lesson. After all, any inner disciple should not be underestimated. That is a gap that we outer disciples cannot cross."

Chen Xiaoan smiled.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia. I have already found out for you. That person is called Xu Qingyan... He is a man, and his strength is only at the fourth level of the Bone Tempering Realm. I heard that he usually practices carelessly, and even only advanced one level in seclusion for half a year. With a person like this... You definitely have a chance."

Is that so?

After practicing for half a year, you only advanced one level?

Should I say... this is the normal behavior of a man in spiritual practice?

It's really rubbish.

Such a person can occupy a seat as an inner disciple. These eighteen sword sects... seem to be a mixed bag.

"I hope so."

Xia Mian smiled. This news made her feel a little more at ease, as if she had regained her confidence.

They walked towards the mountain path leading to the inner gate.

Xia Mian felt a little hypocritical and guilty.

Xu Qingyan, right? Although I don't know you, I'm sorry, but I have a reason to enter the inner gate.

As for you... returning to the matching position should be more in line with your destiny.

People often encounter disasters because their virtues are not worthy of their positions. Isn't this the princess saving you?

Ha ha.

----

"Sister He should have no problem with this exam, right?"

"It should be OK. But you, Junior Brother Mo, please be careful. The one you are fighting is Zhang Xiuxiu."

"Uh... I'll try not to lose too badly."

"Haha, have you heard that the sect master personally arranged a pair for this sect's big exam?"

"Ah, you mean that... Xu Qingyan from Chen Jian Mountain?"

"Of course, I know everything. I heard that the person assigned to this position is the best of this year's outer disciples. Is his strength at the fourth or fifth level of the Bone Tempering Realm? Anyway, he is said to be quite talented."

"Isn't that good? Let the talented get opportunities and get rid of those who just want to eat and wait for death. Isn't this the style of the Eighteen Sword Sect?"

"That's true. But I heard Xu Qingyan is quite good-looking..."

"Bah, just a vase. In a world where strength is king, what's the point of being pretty?"

"That's not the case... If he's willing to be someone's concubine, there might be a market for him."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The main peak of the Eighteen Sword Sect: Longshou Mountain is already overcrowded.

Countless disciples are already waiting here, getting their number plates, and then going to face their opponents.

Of course, Chen Jiurang also needed to take part in the sect's examination. After all, he was not so strong that no other disciple could match him.

Even though he needed a fierce battle today, he was in a very good mood.

I don't need to fight against outer disciples, so even if I lose, I won't be at risk of becoming an outer disciple. What's more, my opponent is a woman... Isn't it normal to lose to a woman?

There was another thing that made him even happier.

"Xu Qingyan hasn't come yet?"

He looked at Zhou Lian beside him.

Zhou Lian nodded.

"When I went to look for him, he seemed to still be sleeping... He said we should go first and he would be here soon."

Hearing this, Chen Jiurang snorted in disdain.

"What do you mean by coming here quickly? He must be afraid. He thinks he has to lose face in front of so many people, so he's acting like a coward."

Zhou Lian immediately argued.

"Impossible, Senior Brother Xu would never do that!"

Chen Jiurang looked at Zhou Lian with a sneer.

"Why not? He is just that kind of person. I don't know why you all believe in him. Even Master..." When he said this, Chen Jiurang's eyes became ferocious for a moment, and then he took a deep breath, "Just wait and see. It would be best if he doesn't come. If he comes... he will be the one who will be doomed today."

It seemed as if the dissatisfaction in his heart was about to be vented at this moment.

"Chen Jiurang, my memory is not very good, but I remember that I gave you face before, right?"

The cold voice suddenly appeared, and instantly made Chen Jiurang tremble all over.

He turned his head suddenly and looked in astonishment at a woman in red who had walked over to him at some point.

Still wearing red clothes, coupled with heroic facial features.

Seeing it makes me shudder, as if it has become an instinctive reaction.

"Bai, Senior Sister Bai..."

Bai Yingluo narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Jiurang.

"You don't seem to have taken the lesson that Master gave you a few days ago to heart? Master didn't come today. Did she want me to teach you a lesson on your mouth?"

As if the pain on his cheek had not yet disappeared, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

But soon Chen Jiurang lowered his head.

"I, I was just talking nonsense...I was talking too much."

Bai Yingluo was too lazy to waste time talking to the other party.

"If I hear you gossiping behind my back again, you'll be so... "

"I know. I won't dare to do that again. But...he didn't show up, right? Senior Sister Bai, shouldn't I go and remind him, in case he overslept..."

Seems like some ignorant remarks.

Bai Yingluo frowned.

Just when Bai Yingluo was about to say something.

"What's going on with the atmosphere? It's so solemn...ah, are you talking about me, Brother Chen?"

Appeared suddenly with a lazy laugh.

By the way, there was also an arm naturally hanging on Chen Jiurang's shoulder.
