The heroine is a black and white lotus gl

Early the next morning, Elder Yun gathered the eight of them together and took them to the depths of the outer courtyard.

The Tianjiu Gate is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a dense forest deep in the outer courtyard, and a deep cliff is actually a natural moat.

There are several iron chain bridges between the cliffs, the depth is invisible and low, and there is another deep forest on the opposite side, and a few people can be vaguely seen staying there.

Elder Yun led them to the edge of the cliff, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "You have crossed the iron lock bridge, which is the boundary of the inner courtyard, and when you get there, there will be no one to support you, remember, don't cause trouble. "

"Yes, thank you, Elder Yun." Everyone agreed in unison. Seeing that she had no other words, they scrambled to get on a chain bridge and rushed towards the opposite side.

Gu Jingyue was the last one. She thanked Elder Yun and gave her some rare herbs. Then she randomly chose a chain bridge to go to the opposite side.

On the opposite side, waiting there were disciples from the inner court of Tianjiu Gate, dressed in neat red military uniforms. Seeing that everyone was present, they just nodded coldly, then turned around and led them away.

"It's really arrogant." Gu Jingyue heard someone whispering secretly.

She couldn't help chuckling, she dared to say bad things so loudly behind someone's back, so she wasn't afraid of being heard by the other party.

"It's not that they are arrogant, they just don't regard us as their own. You see, even if we enter the inner court now and learn from teachers in the inner court, after the three great competitions, we will still return to the outer court and be an outsider like Elder Yun. That's all for the dean." A handsome man sneaked up to Gu Jingyue's side and said softly to her.

"Oh." Gu Jingyue evaded a little, nodded, to show that she understood.

"My name is Zhang Yi. Yi is the elegant and extraordinary Yi. What's the girl's name?" The man chased her persistently and asked her.

"Bei Lai." Gu Jingyue reported the name she casually picked up. She came from Xiaowan in the northwest, so she came from the north.

"Miss Beilai, I knew you were a beauty just by hearing your voice. You see, the eight people here are all together. Why don't we get to know each other so that we can take care of each other in the future." Zhang Yi smiled harmlessly to humans and animals.

"Isn't this already an acquaintance?" Gu Jingyue also followed his words.

"Yes, yes, I came from a small town beyond the sea of ​​clouds, Miss Beilai, where are you from?"

"A small village next to the snowy area, with no name."

"Hey, they also said that you must be from a big family. I have never dared to talk to you. I didn't expect that we are all people with no background." Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes with a smile, "This way we should be more united. Once we enter the inner courtyard, the people there will definitely not regard us as our own people, if we are not united, it will be more difficult to act."

"Well, that's true." Gu Jingyue nodded with a smile, "Please help me when the time comes."

"Oh, each other."

While speaking, they had already reached the depths of the dense forest, and the leader of the inner courtyard stopped in his tracks, turning his head and smiling at the group of them.

"Why don't you leave?" Someone asked boldly.

"Let's go, of course we have to go. It's just that some of us heard that you are all masters selected from the people, so we want to ask you for advice before entering the inner court." The man laughed and said to them, he The people behind them also whispered with smiles on their faces.

The eight people who came in from the outer courtyard didn't know why he made such a sudden statement, they all looked at each other and dared not answer.

Gu Jingyue watched coldly, until the people on the opposite side got a little impatient, then walked out slowly, and asked calmly: "Shouldn't private fights be allowed in the Nine Heavens Gate?"

"It's not allowed, so as long as you don't say anything, we won't say anything. We're not fighting privately, it's just a friendly exchange." The man smiled, not caring much.

Gu Jingyue glanced at the people on the opposite side, already understood their strength in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, five of you... versus eight of us?"

"No, no, wouldn't that be unfair? I mean, one of you will come out, and one of us will come out to represent the other party."

"So that's how it is, it's really fair." Gu Jingyue chuckled, "It's an honor for a kid from the inner court to win against a kid from the outer court."

Hearing the ridicule in her words, the man's face changed, but he smiled again instantly, "It's just a small competition, so why talk about honor?"

"That's fine, but can you allow us to discuss it?" Gu Jingyue lowered his head and asked with a sigh.

"Of course," the man raised his eyebrows, "I really want to fight you, girl with a mask."

Gu Jingyue turned her head to face the so-called companions behind her, and said softly, "Let's go, let's have a good discussion."

"What are you discussing? You don't know the leader, right? His name is Zhao Cheng. He is one of the ten people selected by the inner court this time. I heard half a year ago that he is a bronze warrior at the ninth level. Now he He may have already broken through to the Silver Warrior." The man in the green robe shook his head desperately, his name is Qinghong, he is a ninth-level earth mage of the earth system, "They will definitely send Zhao Cheng to fight, who among us can beat him?"

"We won't fight if we can't fight, then we will be at a disadvantage since entering the inner courtyard. They will think that anyone can bully us." Zhang Yi walked to Gu Jingyue's side and said seriously to everyone.

"But... how to fight? We are definitely not their opponents alone." Du Nan, the woman in yellow, hesitated, "I am only a first-level green forest magician, and... the terrain here is really not conducive to magicians fighting .”

"I understand that it's not good for us to set all kinds of conditions first, but we have to fight." Gu Jingyue nodded and scanned the crowd, "Is there any of you willing to fight?"

Everyone fell silent, Zhang Yi winked at Gu Jingyue, Gu Jingyue felt helpless, she thought for a while, her eyes sank, and said: "Okay, then I'll go."

"You go? Allow me to offend you, what is your current strength?" Qinghong asked her in a daze.

"It's not too strong, someone has to go up and try. You guys wait here for a while, I'll go and talk to them." Gu Jingyue turned her head and left.

Qinghong and the others looked at her as if they were watching a martyr.

Zhao Cheng waited there, saw her coming, and said with a smile: "Have we discussed it?"

"Well, I'll play instead of them."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to fight with you. My name is Zhao Cheng, a second-level silver fighter. How about you?" Zhao Cheng laughed, as if he felt right.

"Bei Lai," Gu Jingyue also lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Elder Yun said that I am a ninth-level blue sea magician, and I don't know too well."

As soon as her words came out, Zhao Cheng's expression almost changed suddenly, and the people behind him also froze.

"Blue Sea Mage!" Qinghong yelled behind her, "Oh my god, this is just a joke. How could there be a blue sea mage among us, who is still at the ninth level. Girl, then you still say that you also Isn't that strong?"

Zhao Cheng and his companion looked at each other. The people behind him had already recovered from their senses, their expressions were very indifferent, and they obviously didn't believe them when they said a few words to him. With a serious face, he walked steadily in front of Gu Jingyue and stared at her His eyes said: "Anyone can say big words, but if you really play, your cowhide will be blown."

"Maybe so." Gu Jingyue looked at him calmly, "It's useless to talk, let's start."

"Okay, I appreciate your courage. Whether you can beat me or not today, I will recommend you to the teachers in the inner courtyard." Zhao Cheng distanced himself from her, and took out an epee from his mustard finger, "Come on!" Bar."

There was too much difference in level, Gu Jingyue reckoned that she should be able to knock him down with one blow, but she decided to let go of the water just because of the face of others and possible revenge in the future.

The two were in a stalemate, and finally Zhao Cheng couldn't help but make a move. He swung his epee and slammed it down. The ground was instantly shaken as if the ground was shaking. There were bursts of "clicks", and large sharp stones rushed up from the ground. They all stabbed at Gu Jingyue, she easily dodged, and several water bombs flew out and smashed the stones.

The epee entangled afterward, and the dense sword shadows rushed towards her accompanied by a powerful fighting spirit. She flickered her figure, thinking that she could deal with it easily, but unexpectedly, it would take a lot of effort to dodge it. After all, this man believed her in his heart If so, be merciless.

The magician's physical strength is not as good as that of the warrior, so it is really not a good way to consume it like this.Gu Jingyue suddenly dodged to the side, trying to get out of this entanglement, but was caught up by Zhao Cheng.

She waved a wave of water and hit Zhao Cheng's hand directly. Suddenly, a cold chill penetrated into his muscles, and his hand lost consciousness for an instant.

Gu Jingyue took the opportunity to dodge, and several water thorns landed on Zhao Cheng's joints accurately and quickly one after another. He froze and fell to the ground with a crash.

Gu Jingyue also landed not far from him, but she didn't strike him down again, but watched him quietly until he came to his senses, stood up tremblingly, and turned around to look at him with a pale face. she.

"Why didn't you make a move?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"It's just a small competition, why bother to be so serious." Gu Jingyue shook his head casually, "This is my victory, can we continue on our way?"

"..." Zhao Cheng didn't reply, he froze every step, walked to the front and led the way silently.

Gu Jingyue retreated to the team, she had already expected the consequences of her actions, and sure enough, as soon as she settled down, Zhang Yi came up to her first, and said cheerfully to her in a low voice: "Bei Lai, just now you Zhao Cheng During the competition, Qinghong and the others all came to ask me where you came from. You are so powerful. Haha, this is the first time I have been followed by a group of people. But don’t worry, I didn’t say anything. The two are good friends, I will not betray my friend."

Gu Jingyue glanced at him, and said calmly, "Since when have I been friends with you?"

"Just now, didn't you want to go back on your word?" Zhang Yi's eyes widened, "This is not okay, I decided to pester you all the time, you treat me like a younger brother or a follower, just don't let me go. "

"If you want to follow me, shut up now." Gu Jingyue said with a funny face, looking up at the front, there was already an open space, and walking further, the dirt road under her feet turned into bluestone slabs, and the surrounding scene changed from trees to street buildings .

"Entered the inner courtyard." Zhang Yi sighed.

They walked in together, Zhao Cheng handed them over to an old man who thought he had white hair and beard, whispered a few words to him, and left.
