Summer turns to cold, spring passes and autumn ends, Songyue Mountain has experienced several more seasons. The disciples in the mountain have no clear concept of the flow of time. They only know that spring has come and it is a new year.

On the back mountain of Yunmiao Palace, under the huge peach tree, a slender young man danced with his sword and held flowers. The petals falling in the wind swirled in the air for several times under the influence of the sword energy, and finally landed leisurely on the ground.

A few years have passed, and the glutinous rice dumpling that was still coquettish and wanted to sleep with him has now grown into a young man named Zhilan Yushu. He is dressed in white, with his robes flying with his movements. His delicate and beautiful facial features have grown, and he is showing his splendor.

Kou Bai turned his wrist and pinched a beautiful sword flower. The tip of the sword accurately caught a complete peach blossom that fell. As he sheathed the sword, the peach blossom fell into the palm of his hand.

The white-clothed Immortal Lord came from behind the tree, and the sunlight shone on her body, creating a feeling of warmth.

"The weather is particularly nice today, why don't you go for a walk outside the mountains?" Yun Qian raised her hand to cover the sunshine which was not annoying.

Kou Bai looked back, pursed his lips and smiled when he saw it was Yun Qian, "Master, have you finished your retreat?"

"If you don't want to go out, you can come to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship, and you can still guard your master."

Yun Qian came closer. She had been in seclusion for a long time this time. When she walked in front of Kou Bai, she realized that he had already reached almost a head above her.

She stretched out her hand to compare her height, "Kou Xiaobai grows taller so fast."

Kou Bai smiled warmly, stretched out his hand in front of Yun Qian, spread it flat, and there was a complete peach blossom lying in his palm, "It's for Master."

Yun Qian raised her eyebrows, picked up the flower with her hand, and ran her fingertips across Kou Bai's palm. Kou Bai curled his long fingers.

"By the way, let's count the days. It will be time for you to go down the mountain for a trial in a while, right?" Yun Qian held a flower in one hand and held it behind her back in the other. The white jade bell she wore around her waist made a crisp sound in the wind.

"Yes, Master." Kou Bai looked at a petal falling on the top of Yun Qian's hair.

Yun Qian said: "It's time for you to go out for a walk. Apart from going down to the human world with me a few times over the years, you have never been out of this mountain peak."

"There's nothing interesting outside." Kou Bai muttered in a low voice.

Yun Qian tapped Kou Bai's forehead with her fingertips just like Kou Bai did when he was a child, but now he had to raise his hand.

"There are many interesting things in this wonderful world. How would you know about them if you don't go out?"

"Then master, can you accompany me?" Kou Bai looked forward to it.

"You can't do the trial. This won't give you a back door." Yun Qian said sternly.

"I'm not talking about trials...but in the future, when the master is not in retreat."

Yun Qian turned around and walked away. Kou Bai followed her. He heard the gentle voice of the Immortal Lord: "Okay, then I'll go and have a look later."

The trial of going down the mountain is a test for the disciples who have been practicing for many years. This is something that all disciples must go through.

Before going down the mountain, the four immortals and the disciples who needed to go down for the trial gathered at the main peak. Yun Qian led Kou Bai into the main hall.

"Go." Yun Qian tilted her head to look at Kou Bai beside her and said.

Kou Bai nodded, whispered "Yeah", and walked to the front of the disciple queue. The people standing in front of the queue were usually the direct disciples of the Immortal Lord.

When Kou Bai appeared, there was a slight commotion among the disciples. Apart from him, Kou Bai looked so good-looking. His bloody eyes were like two pieces of fine blood jade, which could make people suffocate just by looking at him.

For so many years, Kou Bai has always lived in seclusion. Except for the disciples in Yunmiao Palace who have seen Kou Bai's true appearance, the other disciples have never seen him face to face.

Kou Bai stood expressionless, his eyes raised and fell on his master above.

"From the moment you come down the mountain, the half-month trial officially begins. Each of you will get your own task. If you complete your task within the specified time limit, you will pass the trial."

The first disciple stated the rules strictly, "You can work together or alone. Remember, you must not harm innocent people, nor involve innocent people in your mission."

"have you understood?"

All the disciples said in unison: "Understood!"

It was time to go down the mountain half an hour later. During this short period of time, the disciples returned to their residences to sort out the things they needed to bring.

Not all disciples learn swordsmanship, some practice talismans, some practice formations, in short, they all need to bring something that will help them.

The disciples in other palaces were busy making preparations, but the style of Yunmiao Palace suddenly changed.

Kou Bai followed Yun Qian like a little tail, and Yun Qian warned in a slow voice: "Don't be silent when you get off the mountain. You will inevitably need to communicate when doing tasks."

"I'm not bored..." Kou Bai couldn't help but retort. Although he was almost a head taller than his master, when facing Yun Qian, he was like a large dog, always looking at him eagerly.

"When I said that to you when I was a kid, my cheeks would bulge like a pufferfish. Then I would have a little quilt on my bed again." Yun Qian joked.

Kou Bai: "......"

Who hasn’t been young and frivolous?

"By the way, you have to be more careful when doing tasks. The world is not like the mountains. There are many changes. There are also demons. As a teacher, I cannot guarantee that you will not encounter them."

"Demons are good at disguise and like to shuttle among ordinary people. You have to observe carefully to identify them."

Kou Bai couldn't say anything, so he could only nod his head again and again.

After talking a lot, Yun Qian felt like a nagging old mother, the kind who was about to send her son on a long voyage.

"Also," Yun Qian stopped and turned around: "How are you doing with your recent practice? Do you feel anything strange about the breath in your body?"

The depths of Kou Bai's blood-red eyes were tainted with a little darkness due to Yun Qian's words, but it quickly disappeared after blinking, "No, my recent practice has been going well."

Yun Qian had an intuition that something was wrong. She stared at Kou Bai's eyes for a long time, but saw nothing. The man in front of her still had a warm smile, and there was a hint of dependence in his delicate eyebrows.

"Well, I won't belabor my teacher. You can go and clean up." Yun Qian continued to walk towards his dormitory.

Kou Bai did not leave, but still followed Yun Qian, "Master, please tell me more, I want to hear it."

Yun Qian, dumbfounded, raised her hand and tapped Kou Bai's forehead, "People think they talk too much, but it's good for you because you want to hear it."

"Of course I want to hear what Master said."

Not knowing what to think of, Yun Qian walked into the dormitory and opened a long brick-red wooden box next to the couch. Inside was a well-made long sword. The hilt was outlined with fine silver, and the scabbard was pure and clean silver-white. , a blood jade is embedded in the center of the top, as clear as Kou Bai's eyes.

"I wanted to give you this sword for a long time, but I was interrupted by the retreat and forgot about it for a while. It's not too late to give it to you now." Yun Qian took out the sword and handed it to Kou Bai.

Kou Bai took it with both hands, his bloody eyes bright, "Did Master find it for me?"

He pulled out a piece, and the cold front flashed, and the smooth blade clearly reflected Kou Bai's face.

"Yes, isn't your birthday coming soon? It happens to be during your trial, so I may not be able to see you, so I'll see you off in advance."

Kou Bai put the sword back into its scabbard and arched his delicate eyebrows, "Thank you, Master. I'm very happy."

"Thank you, as long as you like it." Yun Qian said.

Kou Bai fumbled with the ruby ​​​​on the scabbard with his thumb, lowered his eyelashes, and covered the emotions deep in his bloody eyes that were screaming to be struggled out.

You must learn to be content, Kou Bai told himself.
