Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Do you think your master is old?
Rong Xu paused for a moment, as if it was unbelievable, and said in a light voice: "Do you think your master is old?"
"No." Lin Yan waved his hand: "I don't think so, why do you think so, Master?"
He is indeed older, but it is not a bad thing. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Rong Xu glanced at him and said nothing. Lin Yan hurried to please him: "Besides, the longer you live, the richer your experience. Master is a living fossil. As long as you are in Guiyuan Sect, the devil will not dare to come and provoke you."
"I'm just curious, when Master was young... would you be more lively?"
"You talk too much." Rong Xu said.
Lin Yan lowered his head: "Master, that's right."
Lin Yan was not afraid of being beaten, and soon stepped forward again: "Disciple is not teasing Master on purpose, but I got some news today, and I am afraid that Master will be sad, so I asked a few questions in advance."
"Is it related to Cheng Tianhe?" Rong Xu asked.
Lin Yan was surprised: "Master is so amazing, he guessed it right away!"
Rong Xu was no longer surprised by Lin Yan's praise. This person would praise himself for no reason, and he could praise him easily, saying anything.
"It is indeed related to Uncle Cheng..."
"Disciple learned from the Fifth Elder today that Uncle Cheng has joined the Demon Sect."
Rong Xu's expression did not change, and he did not make any unnecessary movements. He turned to ask Lin Yan: "Do you think that if he is still in Guiyuan Sect, would he secretly inform Tunhai Sect?"
Lin Yan took a long time to react before he remembered that Tunhai Sect was the Demon Sect.
When Su Jiuyuan established Tunhai Sect, he was thinking that one day he would be able to defeat Rong Xu and be powerful enough to swallow the sea.
However, the skills he practiced were too evil, and all those who came to him were demon cultivators or various demons and monsters. As long as they could strengthen the sect, Su Jiuyuan would accept them. The people of Tunhai Sect killed people and set fire to corpses everywhere, dug out the dead and refined them into puppets, and even went so far as to refine living people directly, which was not tolerated by the righteous.
So gradually, no one remembered the Swallowing Sea Sect anymore, and they just called it the Demon Sect.
"This... I'm not familiar with Master Cheng, so I really can't guess." Lin Yan forced a smile. Not only did he know, he also knew exactly what that idiot would do.
"Master, have you noticed something?"
Rong Xu nodded: "Yes."
"Since three hundred years ago, I've felt that something was wrong with him. Now that he's gone to the Swallowing Sea Sect, it's within expectations."
"Lin Yan."
Every time Lin Yan heard his name from Rong Xu's mouth, his scalp would go numb: "Disciple is here."
"He betrayed the Guiyuan Sect and the original intention of practicing Taoism. He is no longer your master's uncle." Rong Xu said.
Lin Yan: "Yes, I've made a note of it."
"But how should I address him next time?"
Rong Xu: "Just call him by his name."
"It's not a good idea to call him by his name, after all, he's much older than me." Lin Yan considered himself a polite person, and he felt a little guilty for calling his elders by their names.
"Why not just call him Demon Cheng?"
Cheng Tianhe wasn't an elder, he was just a jerk.
Rong Xu: "..."
"Whatever you want."
Lin Yan was happy, it seemed that Master really wasn't influenced by that idiot.
"Master and Demon Cheng... Demon Cheng used to be from the same school, and their skills were the same."
Rong Xu looked at Lin Yan, and Lin Yan continued: "Then why is he still in the Yuan Infant stage after practicing for so long, but you've already entered the Demigod realm, and he looks very old, very old."
He even smelled like an old man.
"If you and Lu Li practice the same technique, the results will be different."
Lin Yan was silent. Lin Yan wanted to cry again.
"Don't worry. If you work harder, I can help you surpass him within a hundred years."
Lin Yan smiled. This suggestion is very good, but thank you. No, he doesn't want to work hard, and he doesn't have such a strong obsession to surpass the eldest senior brother.
"Master, I heard that the eldest senior brother, the second senior sister, the third senior brother, and the fifth senior sister were all picked up by the sect master. Because of their good talents, they were accepted as your disciples. You also gave them names. Why do each of them have a different surname?"
He was very curious when he was reading the novel. No one replied in the comment area. He searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Since they are all orphans, why don't they take the surname Rong like the master?
Rong Xu looked at Lin Yan with the look of a curious baby, and the word "step back" went around in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
"In the past, I also had a senior brother."
Lin Yan was stunned. Rong Xu's tone was very calm, and it was no different from when he taught him, but he felt like his heart was being pinched tightly and he couldn't breathe.
A breeze blew, and the sound of wind chimes broke the silence. Rong Xu looked up at the moon in the sky, and his long eyelashes drew a shadow on his face.
"Senior brother is very good to me. I was only three years old when I entered the sect. My master was always busy and had no time to take care of me. Senior brother went out to buy calligraphy and taught me to read and write."
Just when Lin Yan thought he was trapped in the past and was about to tell the story, Rong Xu retracted his gaze: "It's late at night, go back and rest."
No, is this the end?
It ended in one sentence, and there was no next?
Lin Yan wanted to continue listening, but seeing Rong Xu's cold eyes, he silently lowered his head: "Yes, disciple, take your leave."
The master's eldest senior brother must occupy a very important position in his heart. When Lin Yan walked out of Lanxi Courtyard, his mind was full of the scene of Rong Xu staring at the moon in a daze. The scene was sad and bleak, which made people feel distressed. The
next day, the news of the interesting level-breaking test spread throughout the Guiyuan Sect. There are a total of five levels. The first four have been revealed, and the fifth is kept secret for the time being.
The first level is drifting on the water. There are spherical objects condensed from various elements on the way. Once touched, they will explode, or lightning, being burned black, or frozen, or just a large water ball. The whole process is dozens of miles, and as long as you don't quit halfway, you will pass the level.
The second level was to test the flying sword, the third was to test the formation, and the fourth was to climb a mountain.
Lin Yan wanted to join in, but backed off after seeing the formation. He had no idea about the formation, and even if he had another half month, it would be impossible to learn it quickly. He believed in his own brain.
"Second Senior Sister, please sign up with me, I want to play." Fang Siran immediately went to find Xi Minghua. He was not interested in rewards, he just wanted to experience it. The mountain climbing battle sounded fun!
Xi Minghua also thought it was interesting: "I want to go with my junior brother."
"No, how can Senior Sister abandon me? I am no longer your favorite junior brother!" Fang Siran howled and rushed to Lin Yan: "Junior brother, don't participate. I can give you whatever you want. After passing the level, all the prizes are yours."
Lin Yan pulled the corner of his mouth: "No, I want to participate."
He really didn't want to go, but he was happy to tease his third senior brother.
"You can go with Shang Zhuoyun!" Fang Siran said.
Lin Yan pointed and said: "You have to ask Fourth Senior Brother about this."
Hearing him say this, Fang Siran immediately understood: "Ahhhh, the Fourth Brother prefers women to senior brothers again!"
"Then you and Little Junior Sister."
"Fifth Senior Sister is in seclusion, and she made it clear in the morning that no one is allowed to disturb her."
Fang Siran: "..."
"Individuals can also participate. Third Senior Brother is so anxious, isn't it just that he wants to be with Second Senior Sister? The price is fixed, ten stars."
"Damn, you really dare to ask."
How unfair! They only give out two stars a month, and Lin Yan asks him for ten at once!
Lin Yan: "Third Brother, will you give it to me?"
Fang Siran gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
After getting the star, Lin Yan smiled like a flower: "Actually, I didn't even want to participate. Thank you, Third Brother!"
"You kill me!"
Fang Siran cast a spell, and vines grew under Lin Yan's feet. He jumped away quickly, and the sword flew out. Fang Siran followed closely and threw branches at Lin Yan.
The two chased each other farther and farther. Finally, Lin Yan was exhausted and jumped behind Xi Minghua, thus saving his life.
Lin Yan had given up on the challenge, but two days later, Wu Nan came and dragged him to sign up.
"Junior brother, why didn't you come to me in person? If Junior Sister Fang hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."
Ever since he knew that Lin Yan could break through after a night's sleep, Wu Nan began to practice desperately, and his cultivation has improved a lot in the past few days.
But compared with Lin Yan, he is still far behind. He really can't make his spiritual power surge in a few days.
"Your fourth senior brother and Junior Sister Fang are both in the early stage of Jindan, and I am in the middle stage of Jindan. It's just right for us to compete." As for the others, Wu Nan didn't take them seriously.
Lin Yan's face was full of tears: "Senior Brother Wu, my second and third senior brothers have also signed up."
"Why are they joining in the fun?" Wu Nan frowned. These two are both in the late stage of Jindan. It's not right for them to compete with a group of outer disciples?
Lin Yan said, "They probably just thought it was fun. The levels that Senior Sister Fang came up with are so novel."
"But Senior Brother Wu, don't worry too much. They definitely won't compete for first place."
Wu Nan couldn't rest assured. The two were about the same age as him. They entered the game at almost the same time and knew each other's personalities very well. Wu Nan once considered them his opponents, but unfortunately he never won once.
He couldn't even beat that idiot Fang Siran, let alone Xi Minghua.
"They won't compete, but they will definitely make trouble."
Lin Yan believed it deeply: "Second Senior Sister is fine, but Third Senior Brother will definitely make trouble."
He also cheated Third Senior Brother ten stars.
"It's okay, I believe you can do it. Let's go sign up first and we'll take care of the rest. You'll be able to break through in a few days, and it will be easy for you to learn the formation."
Lin Yan: "..."
This is called blind faith.
