Su Yan lowered her head and pondered this question, thinking about it from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

Until sunset.

She finally sorted out the feelings surrounding this sesame seed cake.

It took Su Yan exactly two hours to reach the foot of the mountain.

Cang Shi was dressed in blue, with the words "Cang Hong Sect" embroidered on his right chest.

He had an upright posture and an exceptionally imposing presence.

Cang Shi looked serious and nodded when he saw that only Su Yan had arrived.

That would be considered an expression of approval.

Neither of them were the talkative type.

So much so that they stood there in silence for almost an hour, until it was completely dark.

Only then did Lin Rou finally come down to wait.

Lin Rou was panting heavily.

I ran all the way here.

Large beads of sweat dripped down his back as he bent over, leaning against a nearby tree for support.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Cangshi frowned and spoke.

"Don't think that just because you're talented, you can break the rules."

Now, run ten laps back and forth. No food allowed until you finish.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rou looked utterly dejected and hugged the tree.

"This is...this is too ruthless!"

Large beads of sweat dripped down, soaking his clothes.

After saying this, Cangshi turned and left.

They completely ignored Lin Rou, who was utterly despondent.

Waiting for Cangshi to leave.

Su Yan prepared to leave along the path leading up the mountain.

Lin Rou leaned against the big tree,

"stop"

Su Yan stopped and turned to look at her.

Lin Rou, supporting her trembling legs, walked step by step to Su Yan.

She frowned at Su Yan, her eyes clearly showing annoyance.

Why are you doing this to me?

Su Yan looked at her without saying anything.

Lin Rou snorted softly

"On the boat, seeing how hungry you were, I gave you a sesame seed cake, which can be considered as saving you once."

how?

Seeing that my talent is just as high as yours, you are jealous and deliberately forgot me on the mountain so that you could show off in front of Senior Brother Cangshi?

One should not be too secretive or scheming.

Lin Rou wiped away her sweat.

Looking at Su Yan's cold and aloof demeanor.

I have mixed feelings.

Su Yan was silent for a moment

“I called you, but you didn’t come.”

Secondly, I'm not familiar with you.

Third, if you had told me from the beginning that you would use this to blackmail me later, I wouldn't have eaten it.

Lin Rou was already angry, and hearing Su Yan's words made her even angrier.

"you!!"

This person seems taciturn, and when they do speak, it's clear they're not easy to get along with.

Lin Rou harbored a thousand grievances against Su Yan.

This dissatisfaction was sown when it was discovered that Su Yan also possessed a single spiritual root.

Lin Rou said nothing more, turned around and ran silently up the mountain.

Ten laps still need to be completed.

There's still a long way to go, and no one can say for sure what the future holds.

Time flies.

A year has passed.

Su Yan stayed on this mountain for a year.

Under the guidance of Senior Brother Cang, I have learned the basics.

Flying on a sword, and basic swordsmanship.

On this day, they still gathered at the foot of the mountain.

He stood there, dressed in the blue robes of the Canghong School.

Senior Brother Cang put his hands behind his back.

"You've almost finished your studies. Today I plan to give you a little challenge and see how you've learned."

As he spoke, Senior Brother Cang took out two secret orders and gave one to Su Yan and the other to Lin Rou.

"These are your individual tasks, with a time limit of three days."

Lin Rou smiled

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

As he spoke, he quickly flew away on his sword.

Su Yan did not move.

She lowered her head and opened the letter.

Look at what's written above.

“Go to Huaibei Town and retrieve the century-old osmanthus wine from under the tree in Yihong Courtyard.”

Su Yan looked at it carefully several times.

The task has been confirmed.

He then put away the letter and flew away on his sword.

Huaibei Town, Yihong Courtyard.

This place sounds familiar.
