Logically speaking, everyone who comes here is well prepared.

Besides, this trial doesn't sound difficult. Only when you actually step onto the immortal ladder will you have a deep feeling of it.

Why give up so quickly?

She had always been curious and had a keen sense of the scent of the strange.

Xu Chen didn't turn around. He had a feeling that Xia Rushuang might see him, so he said, "I can't overcome the fear in my heart, so of course I have to leave."

Of course, he couldn't say that he was afraid of being recognized by Xia Rushuang, so he could only make up a more reasonable excuse.

"What fear frightens you so?"

Zheng Qiyun's eyes were wide open, full of curiosity, and it was almost as if "I'm curious" was written on her pretty fair face.

"Elder, don't ask anymore."

Chu Qianjun, the Chu family's prodigy, seemed to be showing off his presence. He chuckled and said sarcastically, "He's nothing but a coward. Let him go."

"Yeah, he's nothing more than a coward. Why should we look at him?"

"But giving up like this is really ridiculous."

"In that case, why come?"

Many people also agreed. In addition to thinking that Chu Qianjun was right, some people also wanted to curry favor with Chu Qianjun.

The Chu family is one of the eight major families and is the object of currying favor with countless people.

After hearing these words, Zheng Qiyun felt that this was true. Why should she be interested in such a person?

But she suddenly saw Xia Rushuang looking at Xu Chen, and her expression was different from her usual indifference, but showed an extremely complicated emotion.

Considering the Sword Master's cultivation level, what on earth could have happened to make her so uneasy?

Zheng Qiyun suddenly felt that this matter was no longer simple.

Xu Chen ignored the discussions of the crowd and walked out.

However, before he took a few steps, a voice appeared in his ears.

"Stop."

Xia Rushuang looked at the familiar figure in the distance and said in a cold and indifferent tone, "Turn around."

5. See through everything

It’s over.

Xu Chen felt his legs suddenly become as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and his body was as stiff as a cold and hard sandwich in the refrigerator.

If he was recognized by Xia Rushuang at this time, he would probably be finished.

calm down!

calm down!

Xu Chen remembered that when he came out of the coffin, his body had become much younger, and he no longer looked the same as when he last met Xia Rushuang.

In other words, Xia Rushuang might not be able to recognize him anymore.

Besides, he hasn't turned around yet.

Xu Chen took a deep breath, still without turning around, and said, "It's already embarrassing to withdraw early, and I don't want to embarrass myself even more. I hope your sect won't embarrass me."

Hearing this, Chu Qianjun laughed again and couldn't help but said sarcastically: "Heh, you dare not listen to Master Xia Jian's words? You are really powerful..."

"Shut up."

The voice was as cold as ice, as if it had brought the entire Xuyun Sword Sect into a cold winter.

A terrifying chill spread throughout Chu Qianjun's body, and he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by Xia Rushuang's hand.

As the pride of the Chu family, he has seen many powerful people in the world under the guidance of his elders.

But he had never felt such terrifying pressure and murderous intent.

Only now did he realize his rudeness. The person in front of him was the red-robed swordsman who made the entire Yunzhong Province tremble in fear.

No matter how powerful the Chu family is, can it be as powerful as the Xuyun Sword Sect?

This was a ruthless man who once slaughtered nearly half of the Xuyun Sword Sect and was a feared existence for the Tianlian Empire.

"I told you to turn around, so don't make me say it again."

Xia Rushuang continued to put pressure on Xu Chen. She was quite familiar with that figure and wished she could appear directly in front of Xu Chen.

No matter what excuse Xu Chen gave, she would not let Xu Chen leave like that.

She had to confirm whether the man in her sight was the one she was looking for.

It’s over, I’m going to be chopped by the axe again.

Xu Chen felt uncomfortable all over when he thought of this, but if he used other reasons now, it would be even more suspicious.

Judging from Xia Rushuang's reaction, she would never let herself leave like this. It would be better for her to turn around and pretend to be stupid.

Now he could only pray that his rejuvenation after coming out of the coffin would work.

Xu Chen turned around and saw the little beggar he had once saved.

Times have changed. Today, Xia Rushuang is no longer the little beggar who begged for food with cats and dogs, but a red-robed swordsman who stands above millions of lives.

Sword Master of Xuyun Sword Sect.

She was dressed in red, just like when she roamed the world with him before, with picturesque features, cold and stunning.

The reason why Xia Rushuang wore red at that time was very simple.

Because Xu Chen was also wearing red.

"I will become a red-robed sword immortal like my master!"

Xu Chen still remembered what Xia Rushuang said when she looked young and immature. At that time, she was still a middle school girl. Even if she wanted to become a master in the novel, she couldn't keep a calm expression.

In fact, Xu Chen at that time was not called the Red-robed Sword Immortal.

Because he is the best among sword cultivators, he is called "One Sword Immortal".

At this point, memories in his body kept pouring out, and Xu Chen felt an inexplicable emotion surging, as if he would blurt out a few words of emotion in the next second.

The moment he turned around, Xia Rushuang fell silent.

The world fell into a long silence, and only faint sounds remained in this world.

The ringing of temple bells in the distance, the chirping of cicadas on the chinaberry trees in summer, the gentle sound of the breeze... and the sound of the heartbeat in the body.

Xia Rushuang's originally cold eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of cicada-wing-like gauze. She bit her red lips lightly, and her fair shoulders trembled slightly.

Clear tears seemed to be about to appear on that pretty face that was feared by everyone and was always cold.

But in the end, she didn't cry.

She is the sword master of Xuyun Sword Sect and the red-robed sword immortal who fought her way through the bloody road.

He is no longer the little beggar he used to be.

Xia Rushuang suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and asked calmly, "Don't you have anything to say?"

?

Many people had question marks on their heads, not understanding what Xia Rushuang meant by asking this.

Logically speaking, someone of Xia Rushuang's status shouldn't waste time arguing with Xu Chen. Could it be that she was dissatisfied because no one had ever given up before the trial?

Thinking of this, many people looked at Xu Chen with pity.

Anyone targeted by Xia Rushuang would never see the sun the next day. It was hard for them to imagine what kind of cruel torture Xu Chen would suffer.

Unlike others, Xu Chen knew why Xia Rushuang asked this.

He knew it, but pretended not to know.

Xu Chen looked bewildered and asked, "What should I say?"

Silence once again fell like a stone into a lake, creating ripples that continued to spread.

Xia Rushuang stared at Xu Chen with her beautiful cherry-red eyes, as if trying to find a flaw in Xu Chen's expression.

But she couldn't find it.

If Xu Chen still looked the same as the last time she saw him, Xia Rushuang would not need to ask Xu Chen at all and would be able to directly determine who he was.

But it's different now.

This was not the last time Xu Chen saw her, but she had turned into her younger self, looking like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Another point.

Xu Chen is already dead.

This was something she had known for a long time.

Xia Rushuang's jade token could only sense that Xu Chen was still there, but could not completely determine his location.

She stared at Xu Chen and asked, "You look nervous?"

Xu Chen did not show any nervousness, she was just testing him.

nervous?

Just kidding, how can I not be nervous?

Although Xu Chen has not met other women who have a relationship with him, he feels that the Shura field has begun.

If he answers wrongly, he might sink into the endless abyss!

Fortunately, he has good acting skills and can lie with his eyes open even when the facts are right in front of him.

"Everyone would be nervous facing Xia Jianzhu. I have been very restrained, but I didn't expect to be discovered."

A bitter smile appeared on Xu Chen's lips, showing the helplessness and nervousness of a small person seeing an unparalleled powerful person.

His acting was excellent and flawless.

"Really? Then why don't you want to take the test? Is it possible that my sect is not worthy of your attention?"

Xia Rushuang raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Chen calmly, as if she already knew everything.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people began to mourn for Xu Chen.

It was obvious that the Red-Clothed Sword Immortal was dissatisfied with Xu Chen's behavior.

Anyone targeted by Xia Rushuang died miserably.

"I don't think I can pass this test, so I'm withdrawing."

Anyone else would have panicked, but Xu Chen didn't say anything unreasonable and continued, "I'm a coward."

"A coward?"

Xia Rushuang wanted to see something from Xu Chen's face, but she could see nothing.

Xu Chen's expression was not stiff. He looked like an ordinary person and said the same words.

In this case……

She looked at Xu Chen coldly and said calmly, "What if I want you to participate?"

6. Xia Rushuang, you plotted against me!

thump.

Xu Chen seemed to hear his own heartbeat. He didn't expect Xia Rushuang to be so determined to let him participate in the trial.

If he refused at this time, he would appear guilty.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to go against Xia Rushuang's wishes like this.

Xia Rushuang's current status is no longer comparable to that of the little beggar she used to be.

Maybe even if I agreed, she would still find it boring and just let it go.
