Buzz! The space between the two stone tablets rippled like water waves.

Two figures, a man and a woman, walked out slowly from behind the ripples.

The boy hadn't had his hair trimmed for a long time, so his hair was thick and black, casually draped over his shoulders, giving him a somewhat lazy temperament.

His face was handsome, but his eyes were cold, and he only showed a slight smile when he spoke.

The skin has a pale feeling as if it has not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

The girl's appearance is even more stunning, and her facial features are so delicate that they seem like a perfect work of art carved by a craftsman.

But her every move exuded confidence and strength, giving people a sense of "keep away from strangers".

This was Kong Ju's first time walking through the barrier between the inner and outer gates. After walking out, he looked back out of curiosity.

Huangfu Wuqin glanced at the latter and explained in a delicate voice: "Don't look at it. Without the inner disciple badge, outer disciples cannot enter or leave."

"So that's how it is. I was able to come out this time because Junior Sister Huangfu saw me off." Kong Ju looked enlightened.

The strange thing is that Kong Ju now calls her Junior Sister Huangfu all the time, and the latter is not as resistant as before. It should be because she won her recognition after the battle with Yuan Xiao.

"Hmph!" Huangfu Wuqin snorted, and his smart eyes swept around the inner and outer gate barriers, as if he was observing something.

After confirming that there was no one around, he narrowed his eyes into a happy arc and immediately retorted: "Who said I was here to see you off."

"Ah?" Kong Ju was stunned for a moment, thinking that Huangfu Wuqin was speaking sarcastically, and immediately added: "Yes, yes, thank you, Junior Sister Huangfu, for taking me along the way."

"That's better. You know the way ahead, right? Go by yourself." Huangfu Wuqin nodded with satisfaction, and then under Kong Ju's surprised gaze, his figure swayed on the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already more than ten feet away, on the top of a green pine tree.

"Junior Sister Huangfu, aren't you going back to the inner sect?" Kong Ju greeted in a hoarse voice.

Huangfu Wuqin stood gracefully on the top of the tree. She waved her hand without looking back. Her voice, which was slightly joyful, came in the wind: "I'm going out to play!"

Then he flashed a few more times and disappeared among the outer mountains at a speed that Kong Ju could barely catch.

"Go out... and play?" Kong Ju was left standing there, muttering to himself, repeating Huangfu Wuqin's words just now, somewhat confused.

Just at this time.

Buzz! The inner and outer gate barriers behind Kong Ju fluctuated again.

The bald disciple, with white cloth wrapped around his body and obviously injured, rushed out of the inner gate barrier in a hurry.

He was thin, with strong and three-dimensional features. He looked to be in his thirties, and his expression was obviously anxious.

Kong Ju turned around and their eyes happened to meet his.

After taking a rest and looking around, he smiled. He remembered this bald inner disciple. When he escorted the father and son Mutian to Xiangming County on the training battlefield that day, he was one of the two inner disciples guarding Xiangming County.

The two had looked at each other outside the city.

Taking a closer look at him, I found that this bald guy was actually at the peak of Yanglun level.

As expected, he is worthy of being an inner sect disciple.

"This is my senior brother." Kong Ju tidied up his appearance and was about to greet this inner sect disciple.

The bald man waved his hand impatiently and asked anxiously, "Where is Junior Sister Huangfu?"

"Gone!" Kong Ju responded truthfully.

"Gone?" The bald man showed an expression of astonishment, and asked in an even more hurried voice: "Did she say where she was going?"

Kong Ju suddenly felt that this matter was not simple. After thinking for a while, he carefully repeated Huangfu Wuqin's words: "She said she went out to play."

"Ouch!" The bald man slapped his thigh and hurried back to the barrier without even saying hello to Kong Ju.

This left Kong Ju, who was already full of doubts, even more confused.

"Forget it, it's none of my business." Shrugging his shoulders, Kong Ju was too lazy to delve into the reasons.

He took out the mask that Huangfu Ying gave him and slowly put it on his face.

The mask itself was slightly cool, and as soon as it came into contact with Kong Ju's face, it stuck to his skin, becoming inseparable.

After a while of squirming, Kong Ju's original face had turned into another one.

These myriad changes not only changed Kong Ju's appearance, but also his temperament.

"Yes, even if Senior Brother Shangguan meets me, he won't be able to recognize me as long as I don't speak." Kong Ju touched his face and showed a satisfied smile.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked slowly towards his own cave outside the gate.

Since I'm leaving, of course I should make some preparations before leaving.

As for the matter between Huangfu Wuqin and the bald man, Kong Ju put it out of his mind. It was none of his business anyway.

Just on the way Kong Ju was going to Lingquan Cave.

The bald man rushed to the main peak and found Huangfu Ying who was feeding fish in the pavilion. He reported truthfully that Huangfu Wuqin had left.

When Huangfu Ying heard the bald man's report, he paused for a moment while throwing fish food.

Then he slowly turned around and gave the bald man a rather cold look.

The bald disciple was so frightened that he knelt down immediately and explained anxiously: "Master, please forgive me. I don't know which senior brother was practicing Taoism on the main peak before, and I was accidentally injured. I just treated the wound. In the blink of an eye, Junior Sister Huangfu ran away."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Bring her back before she gets into trouble." Huangfu Ying threw down another handful of fish food, causing the fish in the pond to scramble for it.

"If you can't catch it, go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment."

Hearing Huangfu Ying's cold voice, the bald man broke out in a cold sweat and immediately gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes."

He hurried down the main peak again and headed towards the inner and outer gate barrier.

Huangfu Ying was left alone, staring at the fish in the pond. He exhaled lightly, and his voice could be heard from the pavilion: "Raising a daughter is more worrying than raising a son."

Lingquan Cave.

Kong Ju passed through the red cloud formation with ease.

Return to the familiar cave.

The spiritual spring flowing in the cave did not change even though Kong Ju had not returned for a year.

Listening to the familiar sound of the spring and the familiar layout of the cave, Kong Ju's tense body finally relaxed a little after he walked out of the ice.

Although the inner gate is good, it is an unfamiliar environment after all.

Especially when facing Huangfu Ying, Kong Ju always felt pressured. He had to think twice before every conversation and dared not speak nonsense.

It’s not as relaxing and comfortable as in this outer cave.

"It seems that Senior Brother Shangguan is hanging around the outer gate. What a pity. I originally wanted to say goodbye to him." Kong Ju glanced around, but did not find the familiar figure of the young man in his memory, and showed an expected expression.

Shangguan Yuzhou didn't spend much time in this cave to practice, and he was not interested in the idea of ​​practicing honestly.

Therefore, Kong Jue was not too surprised.

It’s just a bit regrettable that I can’t say goodbye to my good friends before leaving.

"Forget it, I'm only gone for a year. It's not a farewell forever." Kong Ju quickly put aside the slight regret in his heart.

After taking a moment to think, he took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag and placed it carefully on the edge of the spiritual spring.

That was the Qi-nourishing Pill he had refined before, a top-grade Qi-nourishing Pill.

There are two left. I haven't found a suitable opportunity to give them to Shangguan Yuzhou before. Now it just happens that I can leave them for Shangguan Yuzhou before I leave.

Then Kong Ju looked at the Golden Palace furnace standing in the center of the cave, not far from the spiritual spring.

Decided to bring it.

During this year's travels in Wudong, I can also use my free time to study the Dao of Alchemy.

It would be a waste to stay in this cave.

While Kong Ju was moving the Golden Palace Furnace.

"Is Junior Brother Shangguan here? Feng An is here to visit you." Feng An's familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the cave.

Entering the next chapter, the plot needs to be laid out, you can't say I'm water 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
