Chapter 453 Testing Su Qian’s Talent

"As for my little disciple Xia Mengmeng..."

When they mentioned her, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. "She's the 'little devil' that the Pavilion Master picked up!"

"I'm very curious, how did the Pavilion Master teach this group of evildoers?"

The new outer disciple scratched his head and his eyes fell on several figures in the martial arts field.

The disciple's eyes were filled with longing, "It would be great if the Pavilion Master could give us some pointers."

The elders glanced at him with subtle expressions and said, "Young man, you won't think so after a while."

At this time, in the center of the martial arts field.

Bai Yu was dressed in a red robe that rustled with the sound of wind, with a spear leaning against his shoulder. His sharp eyes swept over everyone in the field, and a hint of expectant smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Zhou Xian was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, standing with his hands behind his back. Although he had a gentle smile on his face, there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Li Qingshan was wrapped in three layers of defensive magic weapons.

He wore a tortoise-shell amulet around his neck, his wrists were wrapped with sword-proof silk, and around his waist were more than ten gleaming shields.

It's like a mobile defensive fortress.

He was still muttering, "Heaven and earth, please help me, Master, please be gentler..."

"Just in case, I'll take a few more." Xia Mengmeng quietly stuffed a secret medicine that could instantly restore spiritual power into her mouth, and touched the defensive talisman hidden in her sleeve.

There was a look of ruthlessness in his eyes.

The fourth brother looked pale.

He secretly stuffed a thick stack of healing talismans into his arms and moved with unsteady steps, as if he was about to go to the execution ground.

His face was full of "ready to die" written all over it.

"Junior sister, give me a few more." He quietly slipped to Xia Mengmeng's side.

The two of them were stuffing pills into their mouths.

"Why hasn't Sister Qianqian come yet? I specially reserved the best viewing seat for her!" Xia Mengmeng spoke incoherently with a mouth full of pills, looking around.

Before he finished speaking.

Bai Ze's voice came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a snow-white figure cutting through the morning glow, and Su Qian's light blue skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Miss Su!"

He raised his white jade spear and greeted them first, "Are you ready to open our eyes?"

Behind her, the fourth brother was stuffing Gu Yuan Dan into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster, muttering, "I think Miss Su should be worried about whether we will embarrass ourselves during the test..."

"I don't know either. Let's try our luck." Su Qian jumped off Bai Ze's back.

“It’s so lively.”

Xiaoliu jumped out from under Bai Ze's wings and landed right next to Li Qingshan.

He stared at the other party's three layers of defensive magic weapons, and suddenly reached out to poke the dangling tortoise shell amulet. "Brother Li, are you going to participate in the 'Jinting Mountain Iron Turtle Competition'?"

"You little brat don't understand."

Li Qingshan had a mournful expression on his face, his tortoise shell clanging against the shield at his waist. "Can't you see I'm preparing for 'survival'?"

He turned to look at Su Qian, his eyes filled with pleading for help, "Miss Su, please say a few good words for me and ask Master to be gentler!"

"I can't make the decision this time." Su Qian shrugged helplessly.

Li Qingshan cried even louder.

"Is everyone here?"

Lu Yao appeared at some point, and landed slowly on the training ground.

The dark cloud patterns embroidered on the black robe appeared and disappeared with the movement.

Many elders stood on the platform with their hands behind their backs, and the outer disciples lined up in an orderly manner.

Seeing Lu Yao approaching slowly, they all bowed respectfully:

"Meet the Pavilion Master!"

The sound was deafening.

Li Qingshan, Xia Mengmeng and the others huddled in the front row, their droopy expressions gone, and they stood straight.

“Master!”

Although she knew Lu Yao's identity, the scene before her still made Su Qian stunned for a moment.

You know what, the price is quite high.

Su Qian looked at everyone and bowed in a proper manner.

Lu Yao glanced at her, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but he suppressed his smile in front of everyone. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I have called everyone together this time to make an important announcement."

There was a moment of silence in the field.

"Today, in addition to guiding your cultivation—"

Lu Yao turned around and his eyes fell on Su Qian with a gentle look, while the latter was inexplicably nervous.

He paused, his voice suddenly softening, "I'd also like to introduce to you the new members of Jinting Mountain."

Xia Mengmeng's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Is this Sister Qianqian's talent test?!"

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows: "Talent test? Of course I have to test it. But before that——"

He raised his hand and beckoned, a stream of spiritual power carrying Su Qian forward gently, "I must first correct your address. She is your...master's wife."

Wow——

As soon as these words were spoken, the martial arts arena suddenly exploded.

The pupils of those sect elders all trembled slightly.

"She is really the Pavilion Master's wife..." An elder stroked his beard and sighed, his eyes falling on the magnolia pendant in Su Qian's hair.

That was a rare treasure that the Pavilion Master personally brought back from the secret realm, but now it was being treated as an ordinary hair accessory.

Some time ago, the Pavilion Master brought back this uncultivated girl and took special care of her, so they had a vague idea of what was going on.

But I didn't expect that the Pavilion Master would actually do it.

Many eyes fell on Su Qian, making her a little nervous.

Lu Yao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the red tip of Su Qian's ear. His heart moved slightly, but he still maintained the dignity of the Pavilion Master on his face: "From now on, Su Qian is the wife of the Pavilion Master of Jinting Mountain. If anyone dares to disrespect her from now on--"

He paused, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, "I will punish them myself."

Many elders are shrewd people, how could they not see the importance of this?

The leading elder, Xuanqing, was the first to clap his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the Pavilion Master for finding a good match!"

As he said this, he bowed solemnly to Su Qian.

The other elders followed suit, their attitudes becoming three times more enthusiastic than before.

"Meet the Pavilion Master's wife!"

Many elders and outer disciples congratulated in unison.

"Meet Master's Wife!"

Xia Mengmeng, Li Qingshan and others also put away their playful smiles and saluted Su Qian solemnly.

Su Qian had never seen such a thing before. She was a little socially anxious to begin with, and suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous.

"Everyone, get up."

She spoke softly, her tone gentle yet with a natural dignity, "I'll have to trouble the elders and senior brothers and sisters to take care of me in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Yu chuckled softly and said, "Master's wife, you are too kind!"

Zhou Xian smiled and nodded.

Many elders also spoke politely.

"Today, I will help you test your talent first."

Lu Yao noticed Su Qian's nervousness, and suddenly reached out and gently held her hand to reassure her.

He leaned forward slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't be nervous, I will always be by your side."

Su Qian looked up and met the focused tenderness in his eyes. The tension in her throat suddenly eased a little.

"good."

She nodded slightly, her fingertips gripping his palm, and her originally nervous mood eased a lot.

"Master's wife, don't be afraid!"

Xia Mengmeng blinked at Su Qian, "I bet Master's talent must be earth-shattering!"

Li Qingshan also shouted: "If Master's wife has low talent... then, then she must have been overshadowed by Master's brilliance!"
