"Well, I came to see you." Xia Zhitao nodded, she looked at the knotted rope tied around Zhang Lan's waist, and couldn't help being a little puzzled, "How are you going to pass the test?"

"Oh, this." Zhang Lan looked down, pulled the rope calmly, and said, "Jump down, and then come up along the rope."

The white-clothed master and the bearded master also noticed them, and they walked over together.Qin Zhi frowned and said, "What's the name of this newcomer... All in all, her situation is a bit strange."

"The first time I came was to build a foundation, and my aptitude is acceptable," Qin Zhi sighed, "It's a pity that I can't use my spiritual power."

Zhang Lan didn't pay any attention to the Master Qin, and secretly pulled up the corner of Xia Zhitao's clothes, and quietly moved towards her.

"No way, why can't you use your spiritual power?" Master Beard was very surprised. He avoided many disciples and used his sea of ​​knowledge to send a voice transmission to Qin Zhi, "Could it be that Zhang Lan has the physique of a furnace?"

Qin Zhi: "..."

Ding you big head ghost.

She shook her head resolutely: "No, if it's really that physique, it's impossible for me not to see it."

"This newcomer is pretty smart, and his running script is top-notch on weekdays," Qin Zhidao, "it's just that the spiritual power is really not working."

Xia Zhitao couldn't help it, and said cautiously: "If you can't use your spiritual power all the time..."

Master Beard was a little hesitant, but Qin Zhi replied mercilessly: "Either get out of the mountain, or go to the outer gate."

Xia Zhitao was stunned, and looked at Zhang Lan subconsciously, but the younger junior sister rubbed her shoulder, her voice nonchalant: "As long as I pass the trial, I can be with Tao—cough, or I can become an inner sect like my senior sister." Disciple?"

Qin Zhi looked at the idle appearance of the new disciple, felt dissatisfied, pointed at the cliff and scolded: "It sounds good, if you don't come back before half the people, pack up and go out of the mountain tomorrow!"

Zhang Lan was obviously taken aback by Master's scolding, she couldn't help shrinking back, and turned her head to look at Xia Zhitao, her big eyes unblinking, looking at the pitiful one.

see what i do...

The little junior sister's eyes were watery, and Xia Zhitao suddenly felt a little psychologically stressed when she saw that she was silent.

She let Zhang Lan hang on her shoulder in aggrieved manner. She hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to do. Finally, she could only tentatively say: "Then... come on, junior sister?"

What Zhang Lan was waiting for was this sentence, and the dark clouds suddenly cleared up on her little face, she nodded heavily, and said seriously: "I will!!"

She stood up straight, pulled the rope and walked towards the cliff. Xia Zhitao had roughly guessed what the little junior sister was doing, but she was still a little uneasy: "This is too dangerous."

"What are you doing so dawdly?" Qin Zhi said helplessly, "Go quickly."

Zhang Lan nodded, turned her head and smiled at Xia Zhitao, and said, "Wait for me."

Xia Zhitao opened her mouth, but didn't say what she wanted to say. She just watched Zhang Lan standing on the edge of the cliff holding the rope.

She was a small person, standing on the edge of the abyss, the cold wind was blowing all over her body, and the corners of her clothes were all messed up.

Xia Zhitao gathered the hem of her clothes tightly, she took a step out unconsciously, and suddenly wanted to grab him, but it was too late.

Zhang Lan let go of the rope in her hand and took a step forward. With no support under her feet, she suddenly stepped into the air and fell into the abyss. Her body gradually became blurred in the endless darkness until she disappeared completely.

With the pulling, the rope that was in one place quickly decreased, and at the end, the end of the rope "snapped", and the raised stone was suddenly fastened.

The rope was extremely tight, as if it was about to break, Xia Zhitao hurriedly rushed forward, carefully using spiritual power to protect the rope that hung his life.

"This guy is pretty smart, he's actually faster than many people doing this." Compared to Xia Zhitao's nervousness, Qin Zhi seemed much calmer.

She glanced at the disciples below who were carefully building the "ladder" with spiritual power, touched the rope with the back of her finger, and said calmly: "The little girl should have reached the bottom, now let's see how she gets up."

Time passed by every minute, and the group of outstanding disciples praised by Qin Zhi had returned one by one.They went up with their swords, stopped respectfully in front of Qin Zhi, and presented the wooden plaque distributed by the master at the bottom of the mountain with both hands.

Qin Zhi checked the authenticity of the wooden sign, looked at the few people with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."

"Thank you, master!" Several people bowed to thank, and then stood aside.Although they all stood upright and did not dare to speak, they still couldn't hide their excitement.

There were two people who came up first, a man and a woman, both of whom were so proficient at controlling swords that it was hard to tell which one came first.

"Wangze, Wangyan," Qin Zhi said with a smile, "I know you guys like to compete, but this time I can't tell the winner."

Listening to the names, No.1 is actually two siblings?

Xia Zhitao looked at them curiously, and saw her elder brother Wangze smiled helplessly, while her younger sister Wangyan pouted, glared angrily at her elder brother beside her, and muttered something in a low voice.

The third one is a woman named Mu Si. She didn't look at the publicity of the brothers and sisters, but restrained her breath and stood quietly by the side.

As a few people took the lead, more and more people came up. Seeing that many disciples who went down the mountain have returned, the number has gradually approached half of what Qin Zhi set.

Xia Zhitao stared closely at the edge of the cliff, with her heart in her throat, beside Qin Zhi who was still counting slowly, the voice that fell on her ears made her a little more urgent: "47, 48, one hundred Half of the disciples are removed, and there are still two places left."

So fast?Where is little junior sister? If she doesn't get the final spot, what should she do?

Obviously, no matter whether the junior sister passed the trial or not, she had no conflict of interest with Xia Zhitao, and if she really failed, Xia Zhitao would even save her from worrying about other trials in the future.

But for some reason, Xia Zhitao suddenly panicked.Her thoughts were confused, she bit her lower lip lightly, and her breathing was short.

Just then, a disciple came up.

She was out of breath, and the spiritual power in her body was about to be exhausted, and she was struggling to climb up with a hook made of spiritual power.

"No. 49, congratulations."

Qin Zhi announced unhurriedly, the voice was as flat as it was, but it fell into Xia Zhitao's ear like a thunderclap: "There is one last place left."

The forty-ninth disciple let out a long breath. Regardless of his disheveled clothes and dripping sweat, he sat down on the ground and panted heavily.

I'm afraid the little junior sister is a little overwhelmed.

Anxious in her heart, Xia Zhitao ignored other people's surprised gazes, walked quickly to the side of the bearded master, and said carefully: "Master, there is only one place left, Zhang Lan..."

The bearded master shook his head helplessly, and said softly to Xia Zhitao, "Although Zhang Lan was led by me, if she fails Master Qin's test, there is nothing I can do."

"But, but," Xia Zhitao was anxious, trying to reason, "Junior Junior Sister started late and spent more than half of the training time compared to other disciples. Isn't this unfair to her—"

"Zhitao." Master Beard interrupted her.

"I have no other choice. Although the situation is indeed unfavorable to Zhang Lan, if I let Qin Zhi break the rules and accept her, wouldn't it be unfair to the other [-] losers and the real disciples?"

He sighed a long time, patted Xia Zhitao's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Although Yashan is the world's number one immortal sect, it never accepts useless people. And everything in this world is not like this?"

Xia Zhitao knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."

Because his back was facing the cliff, Xia Zhitao couldn't see what was behind him.

She faintly heard Qin Zhi walking forward quickly, and his usually flat voice suddenly had ups and downs of surprise: "...my name, congratulations."

"It's such a coincidence." A disciple patted the dust on his sleeve, his voice was clear and bright, full of energy, "Fortunately, I moved quickly."

The voice was all too familiar, Xia Zhitao turned around in surprise and joy, and saw Zhang Lan standing not far from the cliff in good order.

Unlike the other disciples who were exhausted, she looked as usual, her breathing was steady, and her complexion was very good.

"Hmph," Qin Zhidan laughed, and handed the token back to her, "but good luck."

Zhang Lan shrugged irresolutely, and said, "Master, you promised that as long as you pass the test, you won't be able to drive me away, right?"

Qin Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Naturally."

The rope was originally for decoration, Zhang Lan had tied a dead knot indiscriminately before, but now she couldn't untie it no matter what, she was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, her shoulders were heavy, and she was suddenly thrown into her arms.

Zhang Lan was dumbfounded, and she didn't care to untie the rope, she said in a daze, "Master, senior sister?"

Xia Zhitao held her in his arms, wrapped around Zhang Lan's slender neck, her voice was anxious and annoyed, but more joyful: "It's really... just come back, just come back."

Zhang Lan let the other party hug her, her small face was pale, and her expression was calm, but her jade-like ears were already red, as if they were being burned by a flame, and they were hot.

"I'm here in time." Zhang Lan whispered, sniffling.

Xia Zhitao sighed, let go of Zhang Lan's shoulders, and stood opposite her, with a straight posture, really a bit of an elder.

She said earnestly: "You are too tight on time. I waited for a long time and thought you couldn't catch up. You also know the consequences. If you are queued to the outer door, it will be even more difficult to get in."

The little junior sister blinked her eyes without making a sound, just listening to her obediently.

Did she listen to it?Children in their teens inevitably have their own ideas in their hearts.

Xia Zhitao thought for a moment, and then said: "Next time, listen to Master's order and set off with other disciples. There will be more time, so we won't be in a hurry."

Zhang Lan said seriously, "Yes."

Then, she raised her head slightly, blinked her slender eyelashes, and her eyes sparkled: "Senior Sister, are you... caring about me?"
