It was too cold in the room, and Meng Yijue was thinking about whether to light some charcoal fires to keep warm, when he suddenly heard a few sounds of "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Extra harsh.

"what?"

Thinking of how many monsters were lurking in the wasteland where no one had set foot in the past few years, Meng Yijue felt a little uneasy.

He immediately jumped onto the watchtower made of wood on the roof, picked up the mirror, and took a closer look into the distance.

Can't see anything specific.But at the direction where the noise came from, a thick black fog rose up in the forest, which was very strange when viewed from a distance.

But within half a quarter of an hour, the thick fog disappeared quickly.

Meng Yijue was breathing a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard a thin "squeak" sound behind him.Nervous, he immediately turned around quickly, took out a talisman from behind and held it in his hand——

"Mia~"

is a cat.Furry, black back and white belly.It sneaked up to the door of the wooden house, blinking its pale yellow eyes, looking at Meng Yijue curiously.

"Huh..." Meng Yijue let out a sigh of relief.It turned out to be just a cat, probably a wild cat that ran out of the forest.And looking at the coat color, the top is black and the bottom is white. What does this breed seem to be called, "Dark clouds cover snow"?

Kind of interesting.

The cat wagged its tail and crawled into the house, looking not afraid of strangers. Meng Yijue thought that the uninvited guest probably felt that it was cold outside, so he wanted to enter the house to warm up for a while.

Just as he felt that being alone was boring, he took out a piece of pancake from the unfinished dry food at noon and put it on the ground.

Wu Yun Gaixue dragged his tail and walked forward, picking up the piece of cake.The yellow pupils looked around, with a little wariness in their eyes, but they couldn't hide their greed.

Meng Yijue fed the cat something and teased it for a while.

This little guy seemed to be really not afraid of life, and it didn't take long for him to jump onto Meng Yijue's lap spontaneously, get into his arms and rub against him.

"Meow, be good~" Meng Yijue teased with the cat, and suddenly remembered that he used to play with water balls like this.

But the wild cat looked thinner and didn't have much flesh, so he didn't dare to rub it casually.Unlike dumplings, they are soft and round, and you are not afraid to knead them into various shapes casually.

"Meow, meow, what do you think Tuanzi is doing now? The two children of Qingyang and Qingxi, are they all right?"

Meng Yijue felt really lonely after being alone in the barren mountains for too long.He couldn't help but babbled to a wild cat, more like talking to himself.

Wu Yun Gaixue probably didn't understand what he said.The cat crawled up and down in his arms, ripping his well-dressed green clothes a little wrinkled, revealing a section of his fair neck.

The cat's pupils shrank suddenly, and it leaned forward, looked at his neck carefully, and even sniffed it.

Although he didn't touch it, the cat's whiskers still tickled him a bit.

Meng Yijue's body trembled slightly.He squinted and rubbed its pure white paws.

"Hey, don't throw yourself in the face."

After hugging the cat, I realized that the feeling of holding water dumplings is so good, which is incomparable to other species.Shui Tuanzi's body is slippery and has no hair, so every time he crawls on his body, he feels cool and soft, as if he is having a massage, which is very comfortable.

Thinking of water dumplings, Meng Yijue was taken aback for a while.

The cat flicked its tail boredly, and the tip of the tail brushed against his hanging hair a few times.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Wu Yun Gaixue felt as if he had been left out.With a low mia sound, it stretched out its right paw, pressed on his beautiful and delicate face, and then jumped out of the room without looking back.

Meng Yijue was so worried about his apprentices that he didn't notice it's departure.

It wasn't until he was washing his face at night that he saw a round cat paw print on his left face in the mirror, and he didn't think of it during the day.

"Bad cat," he muttered, but couldn't help laughing.

Just as I was about to scrub with a towel, I suddenly saw the water in the tub fluctuate for no reason.

Immediately afterwards, the water in the wooden basin seemed to be "alive", gathering into the shape of a small hand, caressing his cheek gently, and even pinching his cheek.

"Ah..." Meng Yijue was startled and almost fell to the ground—how could he stretch out his hand in the water?

"Huhu..." The faint mountain wind blowing outside the house made his heart beat even more violently.

Difficult, difficult, is it a ghost?

Meng Yijue's scalp was numb, and he struggled to get up after panting for breath.I dared to look into the basin, but saw a very bright smiling face.

"Shui Lingyuan?!" He was extremely surprised, and blurted out, "Why are you?"

Suddenly seeing Shui Lingyuan's small face in the reflection of the water basin, Meng Yijue found it inconceivable.He quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he still saw Ling Yuan's face smiling happily at him in the water basin.

He asked in disbelief: "Lingyuan, why are you in the water basin?" He remembered that the examination room in the back mountain had been tightly sealed off, and no one could get in before the examination started, except for the invigilator.

The "Ling Yuan" in the basin was just a shadow, but the little hand made of water just now really caressed his face.

Meng Yijue was wondering, but heard a slight sound of water coming from the basin.Lingyuan's voice was a little fuzzy, as if it really came out through a layer of water: "Master, it's me, this is my newly developed secret technique. As long as there is water within ten miles, Master can see my face."

This time it was Meng Yijue's turn to blink.He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This water dumpling actually thought of using water as a medium to achieve "face-to-face instant communication". It is really a genius.

Seeing Master's dark and beautiful eyes opened round like a frightened deer, and his long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, Shui Lingyuan's heart moved, and his voice softened, becoming soft and waxy: "Master , I miss you so much! I only came to see you when I missed you."

"Tch, you're the only one with so many tricks, you really startled me."

Saying this in his mouth, the corners of Meng Yijue's mouth raised unconsciously, still betraying his true mood.He has been alone in this broken forest for so long, and he really wants someone to accompany him.

At this moment, little Lingyuan appeared in front of him in such a way. Although the process was a bit scary, it was still a wonderful surprise.

"Master, why do you have a cat's paw print on your face?" Ling Yuan stared at his cheek, her eyes darkened, and she frowned, "Which ignorant cat bullied my master, I will definitely pull it out." Just its fur!"

"It's nothing, it's just a wild cat in the mountains."

Meng Yijue wiped his face with a towel moistened with water, and wiped off the round cat paw prints.

Seeing his smiling face overlapping Ling Yuan's in the basin, he couldn't help stretching out his hand.

As soon as the slender fingertips touched the water surface, there was a sudden fluctuation in the water, and a small hand made of water droplets stretched out from it, holding his finger vaguely.

Meng Yijue frowned, this "sailor" really scared him, "Is there such a thing?"

Shui Lingyuan grinned happily, "Master, then I can hold your hand."

Meng Yi felt playful, and quickly poked the water a few times, and the water in this basin was remotely controlled by Ling Yuan's thoughts, and it turned into a small hand to catch the master's fingers.

The two played around for a while, and suddenly, the little hand in the water caught Meng Yijue's ring finger.

The cool water flowed down his fingers and climbed onto his wrist, making him shiver from the cold: "Oh!"

Shui Lingyuan quickly withdrew her hands and went back, the water immediately fell back into the basin, "Master, is it cold?"

"Hey, you don't know how cold it is in the barren mountains." Meng Yijue shook his head helplessly, curled up on the chair with his robe in his arms, "Lingyuan, how are you doing over there, today's first round of re-examination Passed?"

"Passed, and it's No.7." Shui Lingyuan raised the corners of her lips proudly, "Master, are you thinking about me all day long? Thinking about whether I passed the exam and whether I ate well?" , Did you sleep well... right?"

Seeing the child's snarky look, Meng Yijue snorted softly, turned his eyes on purpose, and only left his side face to him, "Master is very busy, how can he think of you all day long? What's more, Master also You are not the only apprentice to worry about. Are your senior brothers and sisters all right?"

"Senior brother and sister are very good, and senior sister Yun is also good."

While talking, Shui Lingyuan quietly admired the pretended indifference of the master over the basin.

When the master turned his eyes aside, his mouth was still pursed unconsciously, it was really cute.

After joking for a while, Meng Yijue looked serious.He said to Ling Yuan: "Ling Yuan, I'm afraid we can't talk too much. According to the sect's regulations, as the invigilator, I am not allowed to contact the students taking the exam before the exam."

"Don't worry, Master." Shui Lingyuan blinked cleverly, "I'm a contracted beast, and I'm not a disciple taking an exam."

"Pfft..." Meng Yijue couldn't help laughing.This little guy's brain is really bright enough.

Seeing that he was smiling, Shui Lingyuan strikes while the iron is hot: "Master, I am going to sleep in my original form now, please sing me a song."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for his objection, the child in the reflection gradually shrank, replaced by a bulging dumpling, looking at him across the water with wide open eyes.

Meng Yijue sighed helplessly, and sang "Little Star" softly to the water basin.

"Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are……"

If someone came into the house at this time and saw Meng Yijue singing nursery rhymes to a wooden water basin, the next day there would be rumors that "Meng Yijue's body was disabled and went crazy" would spread throughout the sect.

He suffered from the cold today, and his voice is hoarse than usual, with a lazy nasal sound, and it is better to sing nursery rhymes to lull him to sleep.

Shui Tuanzi listened intently to Master's singing through a layer of water.But after Meng Yijue sang two songs in a row, the eyes of the bad guy were still wide open, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.

Meng Yijue made a serious face on purpose, "Are you going to sleep or not?"

Master's face turned cold, and Tuanzi immediately began to moan pitifully.

It knew that its chubby appearance was the most pleasing to the master, so it changed its ways to be cute, pouting and bubbling for a while, which made Meng Yijue couldn't stand it soon, and burst out laughing several times.

After relentlessly letting the master accompany him for a while, Tuanzi ended the conversation before going to bed contentedly.It obediently waved its claws at Master.

Master, good night.

Meng Yijue pursed his lips and kissed it from the air: "Come on, talk to Master."

Tuanzi obediently imitated his master, pouted and kissed him back enthusiastically.

Wood, wood, wood, I like Shizun the most!

The master and the apprentice sat across a basin of water for a long time before Tuanzi reluctantly "offline".

The room suddenly fell silent.Seeing the cub's round shadow slowly dissipating in the water basin, Meng Yijue suddenly felt a little lost.He was alone in the dark and cold wooden house, and it was still quite lonely.

But... the day after tomorrow, the second round of re-examination will begin.If he was lucky, he might be able to meet his apprentices in the examination room.

Thinking of this, Meng Yijue washed his face briskly, put away the basin, and went to sleep on the couch in a good mood.

He had a premonition that that chubby little guy would appear in his dream tonight.

The second round of re-examination will start soon.

In the early morning of this day, the participating disciples gathered in the back mountain to wait for the order to start the exam.The crowd was not as noisy as usual.

No one spoke.The disciples were waiting in full force, and the atmosphere was completely different from the first round of re-examination a few days ago, becoming tense and depressing.

According to regulations, only a maximum of eight of the 35 teams that have advanced can advance to the final individual assessment.And after being screened in the first two rounds of exams, those who can stay to participate in the second round of re-examinations are all the best of the new generation of Hao Yuezong.

The sky in the examination room was also gloomy, as if the mountain rain was about to come, and the atmosphere of tension was initially revealed.
