Supreme Dragon Palace

A small triangular talisman, probably a small talisman for safety, Elder Xue thought secretly.

"Saint, how about I take her to the assessment department first, and then take her back to Snow Palace after the assessment is completed?" Elder Xue suggested.

Mengyao took a deep look at Yu Ran, the sudden behavior of Mr. Wang just now made her a little uneasy.

Yu Ran shook his head unobtrusively, indicating that nothing happened.

Although he hasn't figured out what the triangular talisman does for the time being, his intuition tells him that the old woman doesn't seem to have any malice towards him.

"Okay, Aunt Xue, I'll leave Ran Ran to you, I'll go back first." Mengyao looked at Elder Xue and smiled.

Then she looked at Yu Ran again, and said: "You follow Elder Xue, and she will take care of you. When you pass the examination, come to Snow Palace."

"Okay, saint." Yu Ran nodded in response.

Mengyao carried Yu Ran's luggage and strode towards the northwest of Xuenv Peak.

"You come with me."

Elder Xue greeted and walked in another direction along the gravel path in the forest.

Yu Ran hurriedly followed, and looked around curiously as he walked.

Although there are towering snow-capped mountains around the basin, the temperature in the basin is as warm as spring.

When he went down to the basin just now, he had already taken off his thick down jacket and only put on a sweater. However, after walking for a while, he felt that a layer of sweat had formed on his body.

"Ran Ran, Xuenvfeng has a history of thousands of years since its establishment, and it has been managed by countless Xuenvfeng disciples to have the scale it is today..."

Elder Xue walked in front, spreading knowledge about Xuenvfeng to Yu Ran as he walked, including the various departments and factions of Xuenvfeng.

In the future, Ran Ran, as the personal maid of the saint, will live here for decades, so it is necessary to know this in advance.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although this is just a sect, there are actually many factions inside. The saint is the leader of Xuenvfeng in name, and her status is respected, but in fact she is in name only. The authority of Xuenvfeng is basically at the level of the nine elders In the hands of the inner elders.

The elders of Xuenvfeng are divided into inner elders and outer elders. The group of elders who hold the power of Xuenvfeng belongs to the inner elders, and the other elders belong to the outer elders, who are responsible for handling the affairs of Xuenvfeng. The status of the two is worlds apart. Don't.

Elder Xue is a member of the Outer Elders, who is responsible for all affairs of the Snow Palace Saintess. Her status is not low among the Outer Elders.

Along the way, I also met many female disciples of Xuenvfeng, and when they saw Elder Xue, they all saluted.

Elder Xue responded with a smile one by one. When she met some important disciples, she would introduce them to Yu Ran in a low voice, and at the same time teach him some ways to get along.

Yu Ran has no interest in it.

He wasn't really planning to live in this place for a long time, but, in order not to arouse suspicion, he listened very carefully on the surface, and looked very educated, which made Elder Xue quite relieved.

Amid Elder Xue's nagging, the two soon came to a house.

The house has the style of Huizhou architecture, with black tiles and white walls, hidden among green trees and flower clusters, and there is a clear stream beside it, flowing slowly, which is quite artistic.

There is a plaque hanging on the vermilion gate, with the words "Assessment Department" written on it.

"Here is responsible for the assessment of Xuenvfeng disciples. Official disciples will have two assessments in the middle of the year and at the end of the year. Those with excellent grades will be rewarded. Those who fail the grades will be punished. If they fail the assessment many times, they will be punished." Being abolished and kicked out of Xuenv Peak, although you will be a maid next to the saint in the future, you still have to participate in the assessment, so you must not slack off, besides taking good care of the saint, you must also be diligent, both in practice and study. Don't fall."

Elder Xue exhorted earnestly.

"Yes, Elder Xue, I will not let the saint down."

Yu Ran replied firmly.

Elder Xue nodded and said with a smile: "I believe that the saint's vision is correct. Since the saint values ​​you, you must have something that the saint appreciates."

"Okay, I won't gossip. I will have time to learn about Xuenvfeng in the future. I will take you in for the assessment first. Every new student of Xuenvfeng will also participate in the entrance examination here. If you pass the entrance examination, you will be the Xuenv Feng's official disciple."

Elder Xue walked in with Yu Ran.

The year-end assessment is over, and the assessment department is not very busy. Coupled with Elder Xue's status as the first foreign elder, soon some disciples from the assessment department will take Yu Ran to participate in the entrance assessment.

The content of the assessment is very simple, similar to what Elder Xue said before, asking for some basic information, testing the root bones, registering and making a book, issuing identity jade cards, everything is done, and it takes less than 10 minutes.

The disciples of the assessment department also personally sent Elder Xue and Yu Ran out of the gate.

Elder Xue led Yu Ran to the Snow Palace in the northwest of Snow Girl Peak, and gave some precautions before leaving.

The Saintess may not have any real power in Xuenv Peak, but she is the head of the sect of Xuenv Peak after all, and the Snow Palace where she lives is naturally the best place in Xuenv Peak.

The three-story Snow Palace, which is exquisitely carved like an ancient palace, is built on the highest hillside in the basin. Standing on the top floor of the Snow Palace, you can overlook the entire Xuenv Peak, and you can also have a panoramic view of the waterfall in the distance. The location is excellent. .

All kinds of precious trees, flowers and plants are planted around the Snow Palace. The old trees are shady, colorful and beautiful.

Standing on the steps in front of the Snow Palace, looking around, at this time, the sky is getting dark, and the whole basin is lit up one by one.

The surroundings of the Snow Palace were also suddenly bright, not lights or oil lamps, but a strange kind of glowing stones, which were dotted on the road and under the eaves.

After dark, these stones illuminate the entire basin, and against the backdrop of the white snow around the basin, the basin at night is even more enchantingly beautiful.

Thinking of such a blurred paradise, even if it was destroyed, Yu Ran felt that it was a pity.

"Do you think it's beautiful?"

Mengyao came to Yu Ran's side at some point, and asked in a cold voice.

Yu Ran nodded, and didn't hide her inner feelings: "It's really beautiful, it gives me the urge to live here forever."

Mengyao chuckled, but couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or happiness.

"No matter how beautiful a place is, if you look at it for hundreds of years, you will think it's nothing more than that." Mengyao said slowly, "What's more, under this beauty, lies the greatest evil and terror in the world!"

Yu Ran took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, I am afraid that no one would have thought that this picturesque and beautiful Snow Girl Peak is the nest of the evil god, right?"

"Where is the hidden killing array you mentioned? How to open it? When will we act?"

"The effect of the medicine on your rabbits can only be maintained until tomorrow. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, I will be exposed..."

Yu Ran quickly put away other emotions, and his expression became serious.

Mengyao looked at a magnificent building in the distance, and said, "That's where the elders' group is. At this time, all the elders of the elders' group should discuss matters there, and discuss the follow-up matters of Elder Cai. Tonight, we will do it." good time."

Mengyao said with a complicated expression.

"You, are you reluctant?"

Looking at Mengyao's expression at this time, Yu Ran asked.

Mengyao took a look at Yu Ran, and said with a light smile, "When I learned the truth, I felt very resentful, and vowed to take revenge and destroy Xuenvfeng. However, at this moment, I felt a little bit Hesitation and entanglement. After all, I have lived here for hundreds of years, how could I not have any feelings?"

"However, don't worry, I just remember this place. Although I have lived for so many years and am used to seeing life and death, my conscience is still there."

"Even if it's not for revenge, to prevent the evil god from being reborn, and to prevent the tragedy of the five emperors' era from repeating itself, I will not be relentless!"

"You just come with me."

Mengyao's expression returned to calm, and she led Yu Ran to walk slowly towards the waterfall...
