Chapter 392: Sifang Pavilion Conference

Hearing this, a smile flashed in Feng Xian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Qingluan, your progress is indeed beyond my expectation. It seems that your progress during this period has... Your efforts are not in vain. However, there is still a long way to go, and you cannot be complacent about your current achievements.”

Mu Qingluan nodded obediently, but couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes: "Master taught me that Qingluan will continue to work hard."

Feng Xian looked at Mu Qingluan's obedient and obedient look, and couldn't help feeling relieved. He was originally worried that Mu Qingluan would be dazzled by the achievements in front of him and indulge in short-term pride.

But observing her demeanor, her humility and composure did not seem to be shaken by her achievements, and his worries were temporarily put aside.

However, what Feng Xian didn't understand was that after getting along with Xiao Ling, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yixian, three truly evil figures, Mu Qingluan's mentality had already undergone a big change in the morning.

After nearly a year of contact, the little pride she had in her heart was gradually smoothed away, replaced by a more humble attitude.

"Qingluan, as for Feng Qing'er, my teacher has indeed heard about it. She is not only the most valued disciple of Venerable Lei of Fenglei Pavilion, but also the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Fenglei Pavilion, and the next master of Fenglei Pavilion. A strong competitor. You have to know that she will most likely be your strongest opponent in the Sifang Pavilion competition soon."

As Feng Xian spoke, he slowly touched his chin, frowned slightly, and reminded Mu Qingluan with a serious face.

"This Feng Qing'er, her origin is quite mysterious. Even her teacher only knows a little bit about it, and many things are not clear. But one thing is certain, her talent and strength are quite outstanding, you can Don’t underestimate her.”

"After she returns to Fenglei Pavilion this time, she will definitely receive key training in Fenglei Pavilion. All kinds of rare cultivation resources are constantly tilted towards her, and there are also powerful masters like Lord Lei who will personally guide her. Zhao. Judging from this situation, it won't be long before she can break through to the Douzong realm and catch up with you. "

After a slight pause, Feng Xian looked at Mu Qingluan with burning eyes, and continued with a serious tone: "So, Qingluan, you must not relax at all now, and you must work harder to practice. Our Xingyun Pavilion has been practicing recently. It has been developing better and better, and has steadily dominated the other three pavilions, but because of this, the other three pavilions are jealous of us and want to join forces to suppress us. "

"As the senior sister of Xingyun Pavilion, you are responsible for the appearance of the younger generation of Xingyun Pavilion. This Sifang Pavilion competition is related to the reputation of our Xingyun Pavilion. You cannot let everyone down. You must do your best to go."

After hearing this, a trace of determination flashed in Mu Qingluan's eyes. She knew very well the responsibility and mission she shouldered, and she could not live up to her master's expectations and the cultivation of Xingyun Pavilion.

Nodding slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Master, don't worry, Qingluan understands his responsibility. No matter it is Feng Qing'er or any other opponent, I will go all out and never back down. In the Sifang Pavilion competition, I will definitely fight for Xingyun Pavilion." We won’t let anyone underestimate us.”

Feng Xian looked at Mu Qingluan's firm eyes and nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that this disciple had matured a lot and was no longer the lively little girl with a childish look.

Feng Xian patted Mu Qingluan on the shoulder happily: "Okay, this is my disciple of Xingyun Pavilion. However, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just try your best. During this period, you can hide more Jingge chooses the exercises and fighting skills that are suitable for your current level. If you don’t understand anything, please come and ask me and your uncle Yao Chen.”

When Mu Qingluan heard this, warmth surged in her heart. She knew that her master and uncle were sincerely good for her and provided her with valuable resources and guidance. Moreover, if it weren't for the help of the elixir refined by her uncle, she would not have had the chance. His cultivation surpassed that of Feng Qing'er.

Bowing respectfully and saluting, Mu Qingluan said firmly: "Master's teachings, Qingluan will keep them in mind. I will make full use of the resources of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and work hard to improve my own strength. If I have any questions, I will report them to you in time. Master and uncle ask for advice."

Feng Xian nodded happily, his eyes showing his approval for Mu Qingluan.

"I really didn't expect that the Sifang Pavilion Conference will start in a short time. I didn't pay much attention to this aspect before. Feng Xian, you don't need to go this time."

Yao Chen sat aside and said with great interest, "Anyway, Xiao Ling is about to return to Xingyun Pavilion. When the time comes, let him lead the little guys from Xingyun Pavilion to participate. He is also a famous figure now. Let's It will also be good for Xingyun Pavilion if he shows his face outside more."

Feng Xian frowned slightly, unconsciously touched his chin with his fingers, and thought for a moment. "That kid Xiao Ling is indeed very powerful. He has reached the realm of Dou Zun and is not far behind those three. But this Sifang Pavilion competition is no small matter. Masters from all walks of life gather together and the situation is complicated. After all, he still has Being young and inexperienced, I’m worried that he might not be able to handle it in that situation.”

Yao Chen smiled, his eyes showing his trust in Xiao Ling, "Feng Xian, don't underestimate Xiao Ling. You and I both know this child's potential. The challenges he has experienced are more complicated than we thought. Much more.”

"Moreover, he is far superior to other young people in terms of strength and mentality. If there is any conflict, it's really hard to say who will suffer in the end."

"Besides, this kid hasn't spent much time in Xingyun Pavilion except for retreat, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of Xingyun Pavilion. After all, he is the next Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion. We can't let him be so relaxed all the time. He should also contribute to Xingyun Pavilion."

Mu Qingluan listened on the side, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes, "Master, Uncle Yaochen, if Senior Brother Xiao Ling can take me with him, I will definitely not suffer any loss. The eighth-level magic beast under Senior Brother is enough to make the three Pavilion Masters afraid."

Feng Xian looked at Mu Qingluan's hopeful expression. 's face, smiled helplessly, with a hint of expectation in his tone, "It seems that you all have high expectations for Xiao Ling. Well, when he comes back, I will have a good talk with him."

"If he is willing to accept this task, then he will take Qingluan, you girl, to participate in this Sifang Pavilion Competition, and let the other three pavilions see the true style of our Xingyun Pavilion's young generation..."

...

The quiet courtyard is like a paradise, the air is filled with rich floral fragrance, and the colorful flowers make the courtyard full of vitality.

Qinglin, dressed in green, sat quietly under the shade of the tree. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on her. Next to her was a small and exquisite wooden box, which contained some pills that Xiao Ling had made in his spare time before.

Around Qinglin, several snake pets were moving freely. They were either coiled around Qinglin's feet gracefully, spitting out their tongues, or lightly wandering among the grass, looking quite comfortable.

These snake pets have one thing in common, they are all very beautiful in appearance. These are specially domesticated by Qinglin to accompany her. In her spare time, they became her good companions to relax.

Qinglin had a smile on her lips and tenderness in her eyes. She took out a few crystal clear pills from the wooden box and gently threw them to the snake pets.

The snake pets seemed to know that this was a delicious delicacy, and immediately twisted their bodies excitedly and competed for it. This funny scene made Qinglin laugh softly. In this vibrant courtyard, time seemed to flow more slowly, and the air was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

At this warm and quiet moment, the void of the courtyard suddenly had a strange fluctuation, and circles of ripple-like light spread around, instantly attracting Qinglin's attention.

Before Qinglin could react, the space fluctuated like gentle water waves, flashing with a mysterious halo, and then a slender figure slowly emerged from the light.

The figure was tall and straight, with extraordinary temperament and a gentle smile on his handsome face. Who else could it be but Xiao Ling, whom Qinglin had not seen for a long time?

Qinglin's eyes flashed with surprise, and she stood up suddenly, and even the snake pet beside her was startled and scattered by this sudden action.

The wooden box in her hand also fell to the ground with a "click", but she ignored it and ran towards Xiao Ling.

"Master! It's really you!" Qinglin's voice trembled slightly with excitement, her eyes were red, and her eyes were flashing with uncontrollable joy.

Xiao Ling showed a bright smile on his face and opened his arms to welcome Qinglin. Qinglin threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that this was just an illusory dream, and Xiao Ling would disappear as soon as he let go.

"Master is such a bad guy. He suddenly lost contact for such a long time. I thought... I thought something happened to Master." Qinglin complained with tears in her voice, but the tight hugging posture revealed her true joy in her heart.

Xiao Ling smiled gently, patted Qinglin's back gently, and his eyes were full of apology, "How could it be? Look, I'm back. It's just that the situation happened suddenly this time, and I didn't have time to explain it to you clearly. I'm really sorry, Qinglin."

Qinglin slightly loosened her hand holding Xiao Ling, raised her head and looked at him, with tears still in her eyes, but tried to squeeze out a sweet smile, "Master, you don't have to apologize, Qinglin knows that Master must have something important. Master can come back safely and get an opportunity, which is more important than anything else."

Xiao Ling looked at Qinglin's sincere emotions, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently lowered his head and kissed Qinglin's lips. This kiss was both the joy of reunion after a long separation and a response to Qinglin's deep dependence.

Qinglin was stunned for a moment, but soon, she closed her eyes and responded to Xiao Ling's kiss wholeheartedly. At this moment, all the thoughts and worries turned into tenderness between the lips and teeth.

Everything around seemed to be still, only the heartbeats of the two echoed in each other's ears.

After a long time, the two slowly separated, Qinglin's cheeks flushed, and her eyes were full of happiness.

"By the way, Master, Master Su Li of Yin Valley has something for me to convey. She said that once the master finishes his retreat, he might as well go to the main hall of Yin Valley to meet. She will arrange for the master to collect the reward for this commission." Qinglin seemed to suddenly remember this, and said seriously.

"Reward? Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it." Hearing this, Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Such a thing had happened before, and Xiao Ling really didn't care much about whether it was rewarded or not.

"Okay then, let's go meet them and collect our rewards. After that, it's time for us to say goodbye to Yin Valley. After all, it's been a while since we left Xingyun Pavilion, so it's time to go back and take a look."

Xiao Ling nodded in agreement, with a relaxed smile on his face, and then turned to Qing Lin and said.

"Master, let's set off now. After dealing with the things here in Yin Valley, we can return to Xingyun Pavilion as soon as possible. It's been a long time since I met my master." Qing Lin nodded obediently. She always supported Xiao Ling's proposal unconditionally.

"Okay, let's set off." Xiao Ling took Qing Lin's hand, and the two of them flew towards the main hall of Yin Valley.

...

In the magnificent main hall of Yin Valley, soft light fell on the gorgeous floor tiles.

The figures of the two women were like fairies, one of them wearing a moon-white gauze long skirt, and the hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind. Although her expression was cold, she vaguely revealed a kind of detached temperament.

Ning Yuxi asked softly, "Master, you said that the Grand Elder didn't stay in the valley for long after coming out of retreat, and hurried out to deal with old grievances. But now more than ten days have passed, why haven't we seen him come back? Did he encounter any accidents?"

Another woman in a light blue Luo skirt frowned slightly, Su Li sighed and said, "I don't quite understand this matter. These days, those elders came to me one after another to ask questions, leaving me no time to rest."

"Logically speaking, based on my understanding of the past, except for the semi-saint who once seriously injured the Grand Elder at the cost of his life, the Grand Elder did not seem to have a deep hatred with other strong men. Otherwise, during the time when the Grand Elder was recovering from his injuries, they should have come to our Yin Valley a long time ago."

"Looking back, I always feel that when the Grand Elder came out of retreat, he seemed to have something on his mind, and he left a little too hastily." Ning Yuxi's tone was filled with a hint of worry.

Su Li nodded gently, her brows slightly relaxed, as if trying to appease Ning Yuxi's worries: "Maybe, but the mind of the Supreme Elder is unfathomable, she has her own considerations. And with the current cultivation of the Supreme Elder, there should be no danger unless she encounters a strong person of the same level."

The two fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little depressing. As the pillar of the sect, the Supreme Elder's recovery from her injuries should have been a great joy for the sect.

However, after she came out of seclusion, she did not stay in the sect, but left in a hurry. This abnormal behavior confused many insiders, and they couldn't help but have all kinds of speculations in their hearts, and their emotions became tense.

Su Li and Ning Yuxi, as the few people who witnessed the Supreme Elder's coming out of seclusion, naturally became the object of everyone's inquiries.

These days, the top leaders of Yin Valley frequently asked them to understand the situation. Some people who didn't know much about the news were curious about the unusual movements in Yin Valley that day, while those senior elders who knew the situation directly asked the Supreme Elder about the specific situation.

But the two of them had very limited knowledge of the matter, and could only respond vaguely, which made them feel a little confused and at a loss.

Just then, several crisp footsteps sounded in the hall, and then the figure of a female disciple of the Sound Valley gradually approached with her steps.

Sensing the movement, Su Li and Ning Yuxi looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

The female disciple walked lightly in front of Su Li and Ning Yuxi, leaned forward slightly, and performed a respectful etiquette, then she moved forward a little and said clearly: "Master Valley Master, Master Xiao Ling wants to see you, and is waiting outside the hall now."

Su Li was slightly startled, then came back to her senses, and a smile appeared on her face: "Master Xiao Ling? It seems that he has come out of retreat. Come on, invite Master Xiao Ling in quickly, and don't be negligent in the slightest."

The disciple took the order and left, and soon, the figures of Xiao Ling and Qing Lin appeared at the door of the hall, and then slowly walked into the hall. Xiao Ling was tall and straight, with an extraordinary temperament, while Qing Lin followed him obediently.

Seeing this, Su Li and Ning Yuxi hurriedly stood up, smiling and went forward to greet him.

Su Li's eyes lingered on Xiao Ling for a while, and she smiled and said, "Master Xiao Ling, long time no see. You seem to have improved your cultivation a lot. You must have gained a lot from this retreat."

Although Su Li could not accurately judge to what extent Xiao Ling's cultivation had improved, with her rich experience and keen intuition, she could clearly feel that Xiao Ling was stronger than before.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and responded modestly, "I have made some progress, but I can't say I have gained much."

These words were spoken in a relaxed tone, as if talking about a trivial matter.

After a brief greeting, Su Li led Xiao Ling to sit down in the main hall, and then arranged for the disciples to serve fragrant tea, which was very thoughtful.

After everything was arranged, Su Li got to the point. She looked at Xiao Ling with a hint of inquiry in her tone: "Master Xiao Ling, I would like to ask you, what happened when you were healing the Grand Elder, and why did it take so long to heal? After the Grand Elder recovered from his injuries and broke through to the Dou Sheng realm, he left the Sound Valley directly. Do you know what happened?"

The people in the Sound Valley knew very little about the whereabouts and situation of their own Grand Elder, and Xiao Ling, as the person who personally healed the Grand Elder, had been with her for quite a while. In Su Li's opinion, Xiao Ling should have known something about the situation, so she had doubts.
