Chapter 135: Apprentice vs. Immortal (12)
He actually fell asleep without any precautions. This situation had rarely happened since he could remember. He had never expected that last night...
There was a flash of confusion and doubt in his eyes, but more of annoyance. It must be because he hadn't practiced recently, which led to a decrease in vigilance.
He pursed his lips, picked up the black crystal at his waist, and injected a stream of magic power into it.
At the same time, the black crystal on Xu Jinxiao's waist became hot. He paused. He had just met his junior sister yesterday, so why did she meet again today?
He walked behind a tree, connected the black crystal, and an unexpected person appeared in the picture.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, his tongue tied, and said:
"Master?!"
At the same time, his heart was filled with joy. Could it be that the master was very satisfied with the massage last night, so he came to him so early in the morning and asked him to come for another massage in the future?
Chu Junhe could clearly hear the excitement in his voice, but he kept a cold face and said, "Disciple, I have something to do. I will start my retreat today."
Xu Jinxiao felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down on his head. His mood plummeted to the bottom. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty:
"Master, when will you finish?"
Chu Junhe looked at his expression, which turned down rapidly, and said slowly under his expectant eyes: "Not sure yet."
Xu Jinxiao clenched his hands under his sleeves, "Okay."
Chu Junhe nodded and said calmly, "You and Yu Ying will handle the recent matters first."
Xu Jinxiao felt a mixture of disappointment and reluctance, but he still lowered his head and said insincerely, "Yes, Master, don't worry."
After receiving his response, Chu Junhe simply cut off the screen and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Xu Jinxiao looked at the disappearing scene in a daze. His wife's seclusion meant that he wouldn't be able to see it for a while. Especially since his wife was in seclusion so often, it was really annoying.
Xu Jinxiao sighed dejectedly and rubbed his temples vigorously.
In the afternoon, Xu Jinxiao was practicing magic with his fellow disciples as usual, when suddenly a strange disciple ran towards him.
Xu Jinxiao stopped practicing and walked towards him, "What's wrong?"
The man saluted quickly and said, "Big Brother, tomorrow is the time for the annual training. The Sect Leader ordered me to inform you that each Immortal Venerable will send out 15 people this time."
When Xu Jinxiao heard this, he recalled that he almost forgot about this important matter and was careless.
"I know."
Xu Jinxiao nodded calmly, not wanting to be discovered that he had forgotten about this.
"That's good. I'm leaving now."
The man waved to him and ran away.
Xu Jinxiao quickly called together his fellow students and drew lots as usual to decide who would go.
Xu Jinxiao ordered Yu Ying to take the lottery box, while he stood here looking at the three hundred fellow students in front of him.
"Wow! I hope I can win this time! This is my first chance to participate in the training!"
A junior sister was so excited that she clasped her hands together and prayed.
"It's time to try my luck again. God of Luck, I will win!"
A brave fellow took a deep breath to relieve his tense mood.
"Xixi, I hope both of us can go this time!"
A junior sister pulled the woman next to her, her eyes sparkling.
"Of course I will!"
The woman replied firmly.
"Here I come."
Yu Ying was holding a huge wooden box and running towards them with steady steps.
"Wow! It's finally here!"
"Hiss~ God of Luck, may I get the spot!"
The crowd burst into exclamations again.
"Bang"
Yu Ying put the wooden box on the ground, stood up, and roared to the crowd. The sound was full of magical power and rang in everyone's ears.
"Junior brothers and sisters, be quiet and take turns drawing lots."
The crowd quickly quieted down, and everyone was on high alert, and it was obvious that they were very nervous.
After all, this is not just a matter of a quota, but all the resources and treasures obtained during the experience belong to you, making it the most popular activity.
But there is also a slight probability of death, so he asked his senior brothers or sisters with strong cultivation to protect him.
As the sect's disciples' combat power ceiling, Xu Jinxiao naturally takes the lead.
"Line up, come one by one."
Yu Ying roared again, "Okay, start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were gasps of shock from the crowd.
Xu Jinxiao stood not far away and watched them. Yu Ying watched the first disciple take out a wooden stick from the box, curled his lips in boredom, and turned to walk towards Xu Jinxiao.
"Big Brother, I didn't expect that it would be time for training again so soon."
Yu Ying put his hands behind his head and walked towards him at a leisurely pace.
"Um."
Xu Jinxiao responded indifferently, with her arms folded across her chest, looking over at her fellow students queuing not far away.
He and Yu Ying didn't need to queue up to draw lots, there would definitely be a spot. After all, they were both extremely capable and served as team leaders.
In addition to the two of them, there are 13 places left.
Yu Ying came up to him and asked nonchalantly, "Where are you going this time?"
"Sunset Canyon."
"The distance isn't too far, and it's not too dangerous. We'll be fine as long as we're with us."
Yu Ying showed no surprise after hearing this. He just made two simple comments, as if he was talking about something trivial that was not worth mentioning.
Xu Jinxiao glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "Have you been there?"
"Of course. I've been there alone before."
Yu Ying proudly raised his head and chest, looking very proud.
Xu Jinxiao didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at the drawing of lots.
"Swoosh~ Bang"
Suddenly, a firework popped out from a wooden stick that someone had just pulled out of a wooden box. It was very small, and only three meters above the ground, but it exploded with an extremely dazzling red light.
The other disciples were stunned and soon showed envious eyes.
“I got it!”
The disciple jumped up in surprise and shouted loudly, his face flushed with excitement, spreading all the way to his neck.
Then he quickly walked over to Xu Jinxiao and the other two, and couldn't help but smile, revealing his big white teeth, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm here to sign up!"
Yu Ying patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Congratulations!"
"Hehehe, this time it's finally my turn."
The man kept laughing, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Yu Ying looked at He Qing who was still grinning, and could not help but slap him on the back of the head again.
"What are you standing there for? Take out your disciple card!"
"Oh yes, yes, I forgot about it because I was so excited."
He Qing hurriedly took off the disciple badge from his waist and handed it to Yu Ying.
Yu Yin pointed in the air, and a blue light quickly condensed at the tip of his finger, flew out and landed on the disciple card, quickly merging into it.
The originally black characters "He Qing" on the white jade were gradually covered with a layer of light blue.
"alright."
I should withdraw my hand.
"Thank you, Second Brother, and thank you, First Brother."
He Qing held up the disciple card and thanked repeatedly, his neck flushed with excitement.
Xu Jinxiao fell silent. What did it have to do with him? Why should I thank him?
