It turns out that they were asking about homework.

That's right, in the past six months since his rebirth, Xu Qingyan immediately locked himself in his room, saying that he was in seclusion and didn't see anyone.

The main thing is to think about how to face this world.

Of course, there were some effects in the past six months. Just the fact that "The Great Dream Spring and Autumn" still existed after my rebirth allowed me to quickly recover my strength. It felt like I was getting back what I had lost bit by bit.

My current strength... the temporarily hidden golden elixir in the Dantian position is enough to prove it.

The benefit of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn is not only that one can cultivate in dreams, but also that one can hide one's cultivation very well. In the previous life, he was almost tricked by that Nascent Soul Realm master.

Now Xu Qingyan doesn't need to worry about these things. He just needs to do things that are temporarily in line with his status.

"Master, there are some."

"Some?"

"Well, this disciple has already reached the fourth level of the Bone Tempering Realm."

"Pfft..."

An uncontrollable sneer came from outside the palace.

Xu Qingyan didn't know which disciple of Shenjian Mountain that person came from, and he didn't care.

Because this is really funny.

"Half a year...from the third level to the fourth level of the Bone Forging Realm?"

There was no need to hide this time. Lin Yan frowned, her dissatisfaction was about to show.

"Yes."

It seemed like a shameless answer, not realizing how shameful it was to only level up one level in half a year.

Lin Yan's slender green fingers on the armrest clenched slightly.

"Xu Qingyan, I hate joking, you should know that."

Her name has changed significantly.

But who was it that said such a joke to me in the end?

Xu Qingyan's smile remained light.

"Master, I am not kidding. Although I am dull and have little talent, I have tried my best."

"hehe..."

There was another chuckle outside the door.

It's light and just full of sarcasm.

Lin Yan's tightly clenched fingers loosened slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingyan...how do you plan to survive the sect exam? As a fourth-level Bone Tempering Realm, do you want to become an outer disciple, or be expelled from the Eighteen Sword Sect and become one of those unsustainable independent cultivators?"

She might be expecting this boy to give her some hope, or the determination to strive for progress. Even so, she might have reasons to protect him.

But Xu Qingyan's answer was just four simple words.

“Do your best.”

"..."

There was silence in the hall.

The silence was as if the air was drowned and the wind was killed.

Only his face still had that smile that seemed to show he had no idea of ​​the world's depths.

"bass!"

Lin Yan stood up.

Her slender body is perfect, like a fairy from the mortal world.

She walked step by step to Xu Qingyan, then stretched out her hand and placed it directly on Xu Qingyan's head. This action seemed as if she was going to take the boy's head off at any time, or knock open his crown.

But Xu Qingyan did not move at all, not even a breath of air was emitted.

When he felt a thin breath flowing through his meridians and then disappearing.

He saw the undisguised disappointment on Lin Yan's face.

She let go of her hand and looked at herself.

"I still remember how energetic you were when you first came to the mountain gate. Do you still remember what you said to me at that time?"

Her voice was gentle, but there was a sense of distance between them, not just from the heart.

[Master, I will become the most elegant and powerful swordsman in the world!]

Xu Qingyan smiled brightly.

"It's been too long, I don't remember."

"...I am very disappointed in you."

Her sleeves fell down.

His eyes drifted towards the door which was not too far away.

Then he turned around and looked at the boy who was still kneeling on the ground, seemingly without any emotion.

The woman with twinkling eyes took a step forward.

"If you fail this exam, I will try my best to keep you in the inner sect. This is my last responsibility as your master. Other than that... you are on your own."

The voice faded away with Lin Yan's footsteps, as if it would never come back.

But at the open door, Lin Yan paused.

She clearly heard the voice in her heart.

"Everything has changed..."

Xu Qingyan looked at the empty seat.

He smiled somewhat bitterly.

“I should be the one who is more disappointed.”

Even if I become the most elegant swordsman in the world and fulfill your expectations of me.

You can still break the red thread of marriage, right?

Xu Qingyan also stood up slowly and walked towards the door with the same pace as Lin Yan just now.

Lin Yan's figure was no longer there.

What was left were the countless densely packed floor tiles at the entrance of the hall and the group of fellow disciples who had been hiding on both sides and now emerged.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Xu, you are really brave. This is the first time I've seen someone who can make Master so angry."

The young man who gave Xu Qingyan a thumbs up was Xu Qingyan's senior brother, Chen Jiurang.

He usually relied on his high cultivation level, decent talent for cultivation, and a high seniority among his peers to order his junior brothers and sisters around and tease them. It was also common for him to mock and ridicule Xu Qingyan, who was not well-known and not outstanding in strength.

I didn't like this young man Xu Qingyan and didn't bother to talk to him.

"Hey, Senior Brother Xu, you should think about the exam. This realm is really difficult... I heard that the lowest level of the outer sect disciples is the third level of the Bone Tempering Realm. If you really lose..."

The boy who seemed to be looking at him more genuinely was called Zhou Lian.

He entered the sect later than me, perhaps because I personally led him into the mountain gate, or perhaps because he was kind and gentle by nature, one of the few friends who treated me sincerely, and he was also talented. His current cultivation level was at the sixth level of the Bone Tempering Realm.

Xu Qingyan smiled and looked at the other party.

"It's okay. If you lose, just go to the outer gate and stay somewhere else. It's no problem."

"But..."

Zhou Lian seemed to want to comfort Xu Qingyan.

Then Chen Jiurang's contemptuous laughter came.

"Okay, Zhou Lian, what's the point of trying to persuade such a person who has no ambition and indulges himself? You only have ten days to persuade him now, what chance does he have? If he can get by, he can get by, and if he can't get by, he can't get by. You don't believe in so-called miracles, do you? Hahaha..."

"Brother Chen, please stop talking. Brother Xu is not that kind of person. He..."

"Zhou Lian."

Xu Qingyan smiled and patted the boy's shoulder, then looked at his confused eyes and said.

"I will remember you as my friend."

"No... Although I really don't want to say it, but Brother, your words really sound like you are telling me about your last wishes..."

“Hahahahahaha…” Chen Jiurang almost bent over with laughter, “Isn’t this to arrange for his final affairs? What do you think he will become after leaving the inner sect? With this hopeless attitude, he may not even be able to stay in the outer sect for long, and will have no chance of practicing Taoism at all, and die in some desolate wilderness…Ah!!”

"boom!"

Chen Jiurang did not finish his words.

A strong wind came from nowhere and blew everyone's hair.

The others were unharmed, only Chen Jiurang, who had just spoken outrageously, had one side of his cheek swollen, and blood even seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, who attacked?!"

Chen Jiurang widened his eyes and covered his face.

Until a figure arrived in front of Chen Jiurang at an extremely fast speed, turning into countless afterimages along the way.

The heroic, yet delicate and beautiful face was facing Chen Jiurang.

"Do I need to sneak attack you when I fight you, Chen Jiurang?"

Chen Jiurang's face turned pale immediately.

My body began to tremble slightly.

"Bai, Senior Sister Bai!"

This extremely tall woman with a fiery temperament smiled slightly.

Then she looked at everyone around her, except Xu Qingyan, and said in a cold voice.

"Don't say these things that are not conducive to unity in the mountain gate. If your words are really useless, I will take action."

"I know, I know..."

Everyone was trembling in front of this woman and dared not talk back.

Even Chen Jiurang could only glare at Xu Qingyan with hatred.

The woman nodded slightly.

"If you have nothing else to do, then go away. You don't need me to invite you."

"Well...goodbye, Senior Sister. We are leaving now!"

The crowd immediately fled as if they were avoiding a wild animal, but before leaving they had to bow respectfully to the woman, fearing that they would be caught with something and be taught a lesson by the woman.

Even Zhou Lian is like this.

Xu Qingyan also bowed.

"Senior sister, goodbye..."

But this time, Xu Qingyan had only finished speaking before taking half a step forward.

His collar was grabbed, and then...

"boom."

The woman used her elbow to push him against the wall, holding his collarbone. Then she, dressed in red, raised her slender straight legs and stepped on a spot just a fraction of a second away from Xu Qingyan's ribs.

She had a dangerous smile on her face, with a playful gleam in her eyes.

"Xu Qingyan, you've been in seclusion for half a year to avoid me. You can do that."

...

What kind of existence is Bai Yingluo to Xu Qingyan?
