Xia Xiao ran so fast before that a layer of ice formed on his brows. Even though Xia Xiao was facing the ground, it still stuck to him tightly without falling off at all.

A faint "oh" came from the top of the spire, sounding like doubt or surprise.

"Do you know who I am?"

Xia Xiao looked up. He couldn't see the figure's face clearly, but he could probably tell from his voice that he was young.

"Senior should be a teacher at Ningshen Academy, right?"

There were only two people on the top of Cangyun Peak. It was cold and isolated from the world. When Xia Xiao finished speaking, the young man showed a hint of joy in his tone.

"I came all the way to see you, you should be more confident and go."

So Xia Xiao guessed right! Then, there would be no big deal today.

"Why did you come here, senior?"

"Before asking the question, can you tell me how you guessed me?"

It seems that this teacher has an interesting mind. Xia Xiao likes to deal with such people because they are simple, not pretentious, and seem out of reach.

"The red light just now was fast and slow, obviously trying to attract us. The only strong person who could take away the Pu Dao quietly at this time is the teacher of Ningshen Academy who is currently investigating."

"In fact, your Daxia is not bad either, there are many strong people."

The young man still had his back to Xia Xiao, as if deliberately creating an artistic conception and maintaining mystery. It seemed that all big shots were like this, Xia Xiao thought so, but he guessed wrong.

Before the selection at Wanling Valley, the instructor was not allowed to meet the contestants. This was the rule, and it was also the reason why the instructor turned his back to Xia Xiao and did not show his face. He was wearing a black robe that fluttered in the wind, and his words became more serious, not as casual as before, which made Xia Xiao listen attentively, fearing that he might miss something.

"I came here just to see you, nothing else, but your identity is really intimidating."

"Youngsters don't dare."

Xia Xiao was shivering all over. This place was too cold. The clothes he wore could not resist the cold. But he still tried his best to stand straight to show his respect for his predecessors. It was unknown when Ningshen Academy was built, but the strong people cultivated there were enough to support half of the world of Dahuang, and these teachers were once students there.

His palms were numb and his toes had lost feeling. It was really lonely up there. Xia Xiao gritted his teeth and looked at his senior. Although there was nothing to do, he wanted to chat with him. It would definitely be useful, but it would be better if he could chat somewhere else!

"Is it cold?"

"cold."

Xia Xiao nodded truthfully.

"Then go down."

Young people don't like to beat around the bush, but Xia Xiao looked at the machete in his hand without moving.

Without waiting for Xia Xiao to speak, the young man threw the broadsword into the air. The broadsword fell and began to spin, and the cold light reflected Xia Xiao's face. He was not panicked, but just looked up and watched it coming towards him. The broadsword cut through iron like mud, and if it scratched him, his skin would be broken and blood would flow.

The machete came closer, and the cold air on it seemed to stick to Xia Xiao's face. But he remained motionless, watching the machete pass by his eyes, spinning, and stabbing at his feet.

The young man had good concentration. As he thought to himself, he tilted his head slightly and asked:

"Why don't you leave?"

"The elders have come all the way here, fearless of fatigue, and the younger generation will certainly not fear the severe cold."

Xia Xiao's tongue was a little knotted, and he raised his frozen hands and bowed to the senior. He felt that the weather today was a little unusual. Even though it was winter and the temperature was high, it shouldn't be this cold. Or was this all a trick used by the senior to test him?

Xia Xiao wasn't sure, but he had to hold on for a while as long as possible.

His cotton-padded clothes were as hard as iron and his face was covered with a thin layer of frost. When the young man saw this, he bent his bony fingers under his black robe and the cold stopped spreading.

"Actually, I have something to ask."

If this was true, Xia Xiao secretly felt fortunate. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know what he would miss in the future.

"Tell me Shu Shuang's identity."

"ah?"

Xia Xiao's eyes were not frozen yet, but they were full of confusion.

"Leave the First Church? The Emperor's followers!"

"That's all?"

"Yes! Senior, what's the problem with Shu Shuang?"

Xia Xiao didn't know how to ask, but he was worried about Shu Shuang.

"You should have spent some time with her, and you should have noticed that she is quite extraordinary, with vitality that ordinary people can hardly imagine. With your current trend, it is possible for you to enter Ningshen College. Anyone who enters will be exposed to something unknown to outsiders. To ensure safety, I need to know everyone's background. But this Shu Shuang, do you know where she came from?"

So that was what it was. Xia Xiao’s heart, which had risen to his throat, returned to his chest.

"Shu Shuang said that she was an orphan who was picked up by the master from the ancient ruins hall."

"Are you sure she didn't lie to you?"

"Senior, Shu Shuang can't lie to me, please believe me!"

Xia Xiao did not hesitate, he believed Shu Shuang. Seeing this, the young man's tone softened instantly, without the previous heaviness.

"Okay, go back to bed."

After saying that, he waved his arm, and Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were already standing on the Jinmen Martial Arts City.

Shu Shuang waited anxiously, her face pale in the extremely cold wind. When she saw Xia Xiao, she immediately supported him. He was frozen and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. On the way back to the room, he was as cold as Pu Dao.

Shu Shuang carried Xia Xiao on her back, walking on the dark street, with a knife in one hand. Xia Xiao felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and even felt that he was walking, but he just couldn't feel his feet.

"Shu Shuang, why is the moon this color tonight?"

Shu Shuang looked up and saw a full moon in the dark sky with an eerie icy color, as if it was frozen.

After staring at it for a moment, she shuddered all over. Shu Shuang said in disbelief:

"That looks like a...Talisman Array!"

Xia Xiao took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. Above the full moon, there were some runes that were frightening.

On the top of Cangyun Peak, the young man formed hundreds of hand seals in the blink of an eye, causing the talisman array hidden in the moon to disappear. After that, the world became less cold and quiet. The usual barking and snoring of dogs could be heard again.

Being able to freeze a city by himself, you can imagine how terrifying it is. But the young man did not leave immediately, but crossed his hands and cast a palm-sized white rune array.

"Leader, I asked, but this kid doesn't know."

"Ask under the Three Thousand Ices?"

A middle-aged man's voice was heard from the talisman formation. It sounded a little old, but extremely powerful, as if he could leap up at any time and throw the world into chaos.

"Of course! I also sneaked into Shu Shuang's mind, and there is nothing about this."

"There is no lie under the Three Thousand Ices. It seems that I have no choice but to let this matter go and ask again later."

"Leader, I think it's useless to ask any more. That old fellow Qing Xunzi loves to be mysterious. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang don't know, so no one else will know."

The Qingxunzi mentioned by the young people is the Pope of the First Church, but few people mention it!

"Then I will ask Xia Xiao in person when he makes the final selection!"

"Qingxunzi will come?"

"He has lived for 30,000 years, and he has only had companions, not disciples. Do you think he will come to the final selection of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang to enter Ningshen Academy?"

The young man nodded secretly, thinking it made sense.

"That's indeed a good opportunity to ask him."

After that, the talisman array shattered and turned into a wisp of white smoke. This was the leader's temper, and the young man had long been accustomed to it, but he was curious, who was Shu Shuang?

Qing Xunzi has been protecting the Great Wilderness for 30,000 years, and he is the most righteous representative. However, Ning Shen Academy is afraid that he has other plans when he sends Shu Shuang to Xia Xiao. If so, the Great Wilderness will soon be destroyed.

Xia Xiao sat in the bedroom, wrapped in two quilts, looking at the moon outside the window. It had returned to normal, but the night sky was not as peaceful as it seemed. What unknown waves were hidden under the dark sea of ​​clouds?

Shu Shuang poured water for Xia Xiao, and her little face looked a little anxious under the candlelight.

"Fortunately, the first championship match is the day after tomorrow, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Shu Shuang noticed Xia Xiao's gaze and looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Xiao told Shu Shuang the identity of the senior, but did not tell her what the senior asked, because he believed in Shu Shuang. She had been through life and death with him, so he should not doubt her, let alone the master who had been so kind to him!
