Sixteen men wearing black palace dresses stood in a solemn and silent manner, like a sculpture that has been eroded by a thousand years of wind. Next to a black carriage as mysterious as eternal night, the old man bowed slightly, with a peaceful expression and impeccable manners.

The woman who came from the endless darkness came to Lin Xun, reached out and pulled Xia Zhi's little hand, with a slightly blue eyes like a vast ocean, staring at the little girl's extremely beautiful face. After a long time, a hint of satisfaction appeared on the corner of her lips.

Xia Zhi didn't move at all. She raised her little face and stared at the face of the woman in front of her. In the dark crescent eyes, she was unconcealedly alert.

As early as yesterday, she felt a little irritable in her heart, until today this irritableness became more and more intense. When she saw the woman in front of her, she finally understood that the root of the irritability lies in the woman in front of her, and it had nothing to do with Lin Xun.

"You guessed I'll come?" the woman said in surprise.

Xia Zhi pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, and said, "Only a trace of feeling."

The woman seemed to be increasingly satisfied, and a gentle look was also raised in her usual cold eyes, saying, "From today, you will follow me."

Her tone was calm and calm, but she was unquestionable and could not be disobeyed.

Lin Xun next to him felt a sank in his heart. This was an order, and the meaning was extremely clear and there was no room for negotiation.

This made Lin Xun's anger ignite again, and it was about to burn his reason.

Yao Tuohai just now wanted to keep Xia Zhi, which made Lin Xun feel extremely angry. But the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared was going to take Xia Zhi away from him. From beginning to end, it seemed that everyone ignored his existence!

"Why."

Lin Xun spoke hoarsely, his body trembling slightly. He was almost unable to control his anger. Similarly, when facing the mysterious woman, a wave of fear came out of his instinct. Under the impact of this emotion of anger and fear, Lin Xun was like a tight bowstring at this moment, which could break down at any time.

The woman frowned and moved her eyes to Lin Xun for the first time. Her light blue pupils were already cold.

In an instant, terrifying oppression came like a tsunami of landslides. Lin Xun's whole body trembled more and more violently, and his face became paler, but his beautiful eyebrows were full of ruthlessness, and he insisted on not falling down.

Xia Zhi suddenly spoke first, "I'll go with you."

The woman withdrew her gaze, and in an instant, Lin Xun was as if she was struggling from the brink of death, her face turned pale.

"A very good young man, no wonder you would follow him before." The woman thought.

"For me, he is irreplaceable, and you will eventually be surpassed by me in the future." Xia Zhi looked directly at the woman and said seriously.

A thoughtful curve appeared on the corner of the woman's lips, and she said, "I will wait for that day to come."

Xia Zhi said: "Are you afraid that I will kill you then?"

The woman's expression became more and more gentle. She seemed to have a special feeling about Xia Xie and said, "I can give you three chances to kill me."

Xia Zhi pursed his lips and said firmly: "No need to do three times, I only need one chance."

The woman smiled.

This was the first time she smiled after she appeared here. At that moment, it seemed as if a magnificent flower bloomed in the endless darkness, making the world dizzy.

"Remember what you said."

After a while, the woman took Xia Xie's hand and turned around toward the black carriage.

Xia Zhi turned his head, looked at Lin Xun quietly, and suddenly said, "Lin Xun, you can't die before I come back, okay?"

At this moment, Lin Xun's mind was blank, and the resentment, fear, unwillingness in his heart seemed to have disappeared, leaving only an unprecedented sense of firmness.

"I will."

He murmured, his voice hoarse and low. He stood with his head down, motionless, allowing Xia Zhi to be taken away by the woman. No one saw it, and two lines of tears flowed from the corner of his eyes.

This thirteen-year-old boy from a mine prison told himself at this moment that this was the last time he cried in his life.

The woman took Xia Zhi to the black carriage, but as soon as the door was closed, the woman turned her head and looked at the lonely boy in the distance. She didn't know what she remembered, and walked out of the carriage.

She came to Lin Xun, leaned forward slightly, staring at the young man's pretty face, and said, "I have tested your qualifications, and it can only be considered average. No matter how hard I work in this life, I will only go further and further with the little girl in the future. She does not belong to you."

Lin Xun remained silent.

The woman used her slender and fair fingers to lift Lin Xun's chin and said, "I can clearly sense that your heart is full of anger and hatred, but these are useless, but I can give you a chance. Remember, I come from Obsidian Temple, my surname is Liulan, and my name is Ji Nian. In the future, you can only see me when you are strong enough."

The voice was hoarse and had a unique magnetic force. Before the sound could fall, the woman had turned around and boarded the black carriage.

On the carriage, Xia Zhi looked quietly, his expression as quiet as usual, but in the crescent-shaped eyes, it was gradually becoming indifferent and cold.

When Lin Xun raised his head, the black carriage was driving far away.

"Liu Lan... Ji Nian... I remember!"

The boy murmured in his heart, and couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood. Then, a swaying sky and earth in front of him, completely losing consciousness.

...

"At a young age, you have to accept the cruelty of fate. What a poor child."

After a sigh, Lin Xun's fallen body was held in his arms by an old man. The old man just followed that strange team, but did not follow the team at this moment.

He hugged Lin Xun, as relaxed as he hugged a cloud of air, and still maintained an impeccable standing posture.

The old man was wearing a black palace dress, straight waist and spine, kind and gentle eyebrows, and looked at the platform, saying, "How is this child's test score?"

One sentence broke the dead silence of the whole audience, and everyone in the square showed a look of confusion because they did not see anything that happened just now.

It was like having a dream, and all I saw was darkness. Now Meng finally woke up, but the strange team disappeared, leaving only an old man in the field, and Lin Xun, who was held in the old man's arms.

No one knows what happened just now, but everyone has an irresistible fear. What kind of terrifying power should they have to cover up and affect the mind and perception of all of them without realizing it?

Yao Tuohai's face was pale and he stood there in a daze. He didn't know what was going on just now, but he knew that all this came from the work of that big man!

"Report to senior, he...he..."

At this moment, facing the old man's question, Yu Canglin on the platform became stuttering, sweating profusely, unable to speak.

Wu Chaoqun and others were also feeling uncomfortable, their faces changed. They had not yet figured out the origin of the strange team, nor did they know the identity of the old man in the distance.

But just relying on the aura of the old man, they felt heartbroken and knew that the other party must be of great origin.

Seeing this, the old man bowed slightly and said gently: "Please give this child a place without assessment."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Lin Xun in his arms, but he didn't see his movements. He disappeared in an instant, as if he had evaporated out of thin air.

At this point, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if the old man left, a trace of fear that was pressing on their hearts disappeared.

But on the platform, Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others' faces became shocked and suspicious, extremely ugly. What happened just now?

Where did that strange team come from?

Why did he rescue Lin Xun?

And that beautiful little girl, where have you gone?

No one knows!

They only knew that Yao Tuohai took action himself just now and was trying to capture Lin Xun and the little girl, but no one could tell what happened next.

This is so terrifying!

As for the cultivators participating in the assessment in the square, they were even more unbearable. They all looked confused and woke up like a dream.

"Continue the trial."

After a long time, Yao Tuohai came to the platform like a walking corpse and sat down again, but his expression had become a little numb.

The purpose of his coming here was to get in touch with the big man, but the result made him feel palpitations and scared.

Yao Tuohai could not even think of how such a thing would have happened!

"Mr. Yao, Lin Xun's assessment results..." Yu Canglin asked hesitantly.

Yao Tuohai frowned immediately, remembering the old man just now and the identity of the big man behind the old man, there was another wave of waves in his heart. After a while, he sighed and waved: "He is allowed to pass!"

What!

Yu Canglin and others were all stunned, their faces changed a little. This was a test of the mansion. They had just shown a firm attitude and did not allow Lin Xun to pass. If Lin Xun passed at this moment, if this matter was spread, it would be aroused countless rumors.

Seeing this, Yao Tuohai was too lazy to explain. He kept thinking in his heart, was the big man coming for that little girl?

"With your strength, you are not worthy of being involved in what you shouldn't have." In my mind, the hoarse and magnetic voice seemed to echo again, which made Yao Tuohai's heart tremble and frightened. Is this the method of His Highness the Queen in the Obsidian Church?

This matter must be related to that little girl!

It took Yao Tuohai a long time to be sure of this. When facing the little girl, even he could not suppress his desire to possess her heart. It is conceivable that the power in this little girl is not simple.

And that big man may have taken advantage of the little girl's attention to this and then he took action to repel himself!

Yao Tuohai was thinking about his thoughts, Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others did not dare to go against his wishes, and finally passed the results of the Lin Xunfu exam.

Not long after, the government examination continued.

But after the storm just now, everyone present became absent-minded, and the atmosphere seemed strange and dull.
