Tang Lin was worried and dragged back to the house by Kong Liu: he still couldn't stay that day.

Kong Liu said that he would take him back to the Beast Sect to register his identity, receive his disciple's jade card, and put "his spiritual pet" with the exclusive mark of the Sect of the Beast, so as not to "let others eat it" until all the procedures were gone. Once again, Tang Lin had officially become his disciple, so he would let Tang Lin go. It would be best if he could build a foundation before leaving.

Thinking about how soon he would be able to accompany Xiao Zibai for several months, Tang Lin didn't care about this time, and followed Kong Liu's words over and over again to "bring the spiritual pet back to the clan".Xiao Zibai looked at him with very unfriendly eyes, but Tang Lin still put on the posture of a full-fledged playboy with a broken can and broken mentality.

He slightly raised his chin, waved to the big bird of Huayu in Xiao Zibai's arms, and said lazily: "Let's go, let's go back."

Then Tang Lin changed his angle of view, sank his spiritual consciousness into the bird's body, raised his head and rubbed Xiao Zibai's cheek, then firmly got out of the child's embrace, and flew onto the shoulder of his own body.

Xiao Zibai looked tragically betrayed, and looked at the bird on Tang Lin's shoulder in disbelief. Tang Lin was addicted to acting, clapped his palms to attract Xiao Zibai's attention, and then said slowly: "Do you remember?" Well, this is my spiritual pet, not your dumpling, I brought it to see you to fulfill your fate of raising it for several years, don't push yourself too far."

Xiao Zibai suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and stared fiercely at Tang Lin. Tang Lin did not evade, and stared straight at him. The two people's eyes almost burst into sparks.

Kong Liu coughed lightly, stepped sideways and inserted into the middle of the two of them, interrupting their eye contact, arched his hands at the head of Ling Shan and said: "I will take my apprentice away. Treat everything you see as your own.”

The head of Lingshan glanced at the big bird on Tang Lin's shoulder, and said "yes" without hesitation.

Xiao Zibai ignored Kong Liu, he looked at the "tuanzi" on Tang Lin's shoulder and asked, "Are you really going?" He glanced at Tang Lin, pointed at him and asked, "You Didn't come back, is it because of this person?

Did you abandon me because of him? "

Tang Lin: ...

Fuck, why does he think this kind of words sound so strange, it's a bit like the Shura field... There's a feeling of being his own mistress...

Tang Lin felt a little embarrassed, he looked at Xiao Zibai, cleared his throat and was about to speak, but Xiao Zibai interrupted him abruptly: "I see, you still have to go."

"I'm not strong enough to protect you, so you want to go?" Xiao Zibai whispered, he stared at Tang Lin, and that gaze made Tang Lin slightly uncomfortable.

"Can this person protect you? He's stronger than me, so you'd rather stay by his side?" Xiao Zibai pointed at Tang Lin, and said to "Tuanzi" in a deep voice, "Is it true that one day I will be strong enough? When you are stronger than him and can protect you better, you can come back?"

Tang Lin couldn't help but said: "...Did you misunderstand something?"

Xiao Zibai ignored him at all, just looked straight at "Tuanzi", and said loudly: "I will definitely become stronger, stronger than everyone else, and able to protect you! I will definitely let you return to By my side!"

After hearing this majestic declaration, Tang Lin was stunned, even the bird on his shoulder was also stunned. Kong Liu chuckled inexplicably, and casually nodded at the head of Ling Shan. head, pulled Tang Lin and walked out of the house.

And Tang Lin was still immersed in the shock of becoming "the original partner who the protagonist swore to take back from Xiaosan", and did not resist the whole process.

Xiao Zibai stood in the house and clenched his fists, watching them go all the way. After Tang Lin and Kong Liu completely disappeared from sight, the head of Lingshan Sword Sect said slowly: "Boy, are you Do you want to become stronger? Do you know how to become stronger?"

Looking at Xiao Zibai who seemed to be still indifferent, the head of Lingshan smiled and added a bargaining chip: "I am the sword fairy, and I am the sharpest among all the cultivation methods. I hold the alchemy inside, show the golden edge outside, and my life is at stake." Cultivate a sword. When your cultivation level is low, you can use the sword to eliminate evil spirits, demons and guard the way; when your cultivation level is high, you can traverse the world, and your sword can split mountains and rivers! Let me ask you, are you willing to join my sect?"

He thought Xiao Zibai's heart would definitely be moved by saying this, but Xiao Zibai only asked him: "Can you become better than those two people who went out just now?"

The smile on Ling Shan's old face froze, and he couldn't help but think of Kong Liu's glorious deed of slaughtering three great demon sects with one man and one bird. He coughed unnaturally twice, and answered in a different way: "You are too talented!" People are very suitable for my technique, if you study hard, you will definitely be stronger than that kid who took away the dumpling."

Xiao Zibai's eyes lit up immediately, and he kowtowed to his master without hesitation, vowing to defeat the big villain Tang Lin and take back his own regiment.

Through the crime of "stealing the dumpling", Tang Lin had the honor to squeeze into the people of Xiaojia Village, and left his name in Xiao Zibai's small notebook.

"There seems to be something wrong with the kid today." After returning to the Royal Beast Sect, Tang Lin, who had no idea that he was already a villain, recalled Xiao Zibai's performance that day, and a terrible guess slowly emerged in his mind: " ...he seems to be able to sense what I'm thinking."

Tang Lin hoped that all this was just his own illusion, but unfortunately, the fact was true: Xiao Zibai could really feel Tang Lin.

In Lingshan Sword Sect, Xiao Zibai slowly raised his head and glanced in the direction of Tang Lin from a distance.

Good, he just felt the dumpling again.Pressing the position of his chest, Xiao Zibai's lips hooked slightly.

Since he woke up, Xiao Zibai found that he could vaguely feel the existence of "Tuanzi", and even occasionally, he could still feel some hazy thoughts and emotions in Tuanzi's heart.Although this kind of feeling is not very clear, and it sometimes disappears, but for Xiao Zibai, this kind of feeling is enough: as long as there is a dumpling, he will feel a kind of warmth that makes him feel at ease. Make him have the courage to face everything that comes next.

With this reassuring warmth, Xiao Zibai clenched the heavy iron sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and plunged his head into the clear pool water in front of him.

This is a pool of cold water that is colder than ice, and it is also where Xiao Zibai has been practicing for a long time.Holding the sword, holding his breath, he allowed himself to sink slowly like a stone, silently looking up at the blue sky above his head, and counting his heartbeats.

Thump, boom, boom.

Within three heartbeats, Xiao Zibai's body had already touched the bottom of the pool.He straightened up and kicked his feet, paddling the water in the pool, straightened up, and moved forward for a short distance under the interference of buoyancy.Then, in the water that was gradually becoming colder, Xiao Zibai stopped in his tracks, raised the iron sword covered with frost in his hand, bowed and drew the sword, and slashed horizontally.

There was silence in his ears, only the sound of his own blood hitting the eardrums, the pool water had completely submerged his body, the outside world seemed to be cut off at once, and it was so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat.

This cold pool is like an abyss isolated from the world. It is a world that is so quiet that it is somewhat dead. Everything outside seems to have nothing to do with this place. There are only a few touches of skylight above your head, reminding you that you are still alive. .This cold pool is so calm, there is no undercurrent, no whirlpool, just silent, but it always releases a biting ice cold, silently killing almost all creatures who dare to get close to it.

Except for Xiao Zibai, there is not a single living thing in this cold pool, occasionally a few broken bones can be found at the bottom of the pool, the bottom of the cold pool is as quiet as a cemetery.

Xiao Zibai stood at the bottom of the silent pool, repeating the movement of drawing his sword and slashing over and over again. His body became clumsy and heavy under the deep water, and even swinging the iron sword in his hand would take a lot of effort. strength.But he still slashed and chopped horizontally, and he was not willing to slack off at all.

Different from other children in Lingshan Sword Sect who came from a family of cultivators, Xiao Zibai did not have any foundation in cultivation, and even when learning swordsmanship, his performance was not as good as those disciples accepted in the apprentice ceremony: those who can pass Most of the disciples who asked about Xinlu were physically strong, but Xiao Zibai was bullied in childhood, and his body was not well maintained since he was a child.Although Tang Lin raised him for a while later, it was because his foundation was too poor. Often when he was learning swordsmanship, he could only swing seven or even five swords when others could swing ten swords.

This kind of performance is completely unworthy of the dazzling titles of "Sect Leader Disciple", "Single Bing Linggen Genius", "Excellent Seedling who was entered after the apprenticeship ceremony" and so on.Besides, Xiao Zibai was not good at socializing at all, and he was faintly affected by the previous dream, he always felt that "everyone wants to rob/kill the dumpling", and he didn't want to get close to those fellow disciples who were "destined to betray".

Such a sharp child would never be welcomed among the disciples of the Lingshan Sword Sect who were similar in age and qualifications. Even Xiao Zibai was faintly suppressed by the crowd, if he hadn't had a basic conscience to suppress them , I am afraid that the story in the Xiao family village will repeat itself.

Xiao Zibai never wants to fall into that situation again, never wants to let others look at him in a different way, he absolutely, never wants to be the "monster" who was bullied in the past again.He wanted to straighten his spine, to gain a firm foothold in the cultivation world, and to snatch Tuanzi back from Tang Lin's grasp...

What does talent and aptitude matter, and what does it matter if you have to spend twice as much effort as others when swinging a sword.When others swung their swords ten times, he swung his sword twenty or thirty times... One day he can catch up with them, and one day he can bring back the dumpling!

He must be able to protect Tuanzi from being hurt by anyone!

Xiao Zibai pursed his lips tightly. The muscles on his forearms were already trembling slightly due to excessive fatigue, and his complexion became paler and paler due to staying in the depths of the cold pool for too long, but his expression was It was always as calm as a cold pool, and there was never the slightest mistake in the movement of swinging the sword.

... The 97th sword.

The 98th sword.

The 99th sword.

——Third thousand sword!

The moment the third thousandth sword was swung, Xiao Zibai kicked the bottom of the pool suddenly, swung his arms to break through the surface of the pool, hugged a half-exposed rock on the bank, and gasped for breath.His whole body was sore and sore, and his lungs, which hadn't breathed air for a long time, were almost exploding. Others would have been paralyzed on the shore long ago. It's still not long enough, I was in a hurry this time, the last strike of the third thousandth sword didn't turn around as I wished."

He completely forgot how difficult it is for a mortal who has not yet established a foundation to go into the water and swing his sword [-] times a day, not to mention how difficult it is to endure that kind of pain in that cold pool full of deathly silence. The loneliness forgotten by the world.

Xiao Zibai could not feel Tang Lin's presence every day, but he practiced his sword in this cold pool every day, chopping and chopping three thousand times without interruption.

Xiao Zibai leaned his body half on the stone, and slowly breathed out, and when he was about to go up to the bank and try to breathe, he suddenly heard the sound of the grass and trees being stirred in the woods near the cold pool. , and at the same time there was a faint voice.He listened intently for a while, and a few fragmented words drifted over with the wind: "... Biling Secret Realm..."

"...The Beastmaster Sect..."

"……us……"

Thinking that Tang Lin who snatched the dumpling was from the Beast Sect, he dodged behind the boulder without hesitation, half submerged his mouth and nose in the water, and held his breath again.The two people who were talking got closer and closer, and finally they seemed to be standing in front of the big rock where Xiao Zibai was hiding, and whispered very close to him: "Are you sure? After seven years in the Biling Secret Realm Will it be turned on?" The man's voice was a little rough, and he spoke with a sense of impatience.The other person gave a low sneer, and said quietly: "Of course I'm sure, it's not something secret. The Biling Secret Realm opened every 300 years, and the last time it was opened was 290 three years ago. Those who passed the trial in the secret realm caught a lot of people. The real Shen Bin who had formed the golden core before, didn’t he just come out of the group back then? 300 years ago, he was just a monk who had just established his foundation.”

"That's good!" The man was overjoyed at first, and then he seemed to think of something, and he hesitated in his voice: "But that kid just started a new class not long ago, if he fails to build a foundation after seven years, he won't be able to enter the Biling Secret Realm , isn’t our arrangement for nothing?”

"What's the matter! Senior brother, when you first entered Lingshan, you built the foundation in less than a year, and the disciples of the inner sect did not build the foundation for more than three years. If this kid can't build the foundation after seven years, it is obvious that he has no foundation." What kind of talent, then it is not a threat at all." The other person said lightly.After a short pause, he said again: "Eldest brother, how well you usually behave is obvious to all. The head of the sect just randomly recruited a kid who wants to take your seat away? We definitely can't agree."

Fang Honglang, the well-recognized "big brother" among the inner disciples of Lingshan Sword Sect, heaved a sigh of relief secretly after hearing this, but still sighed: "After all, I am not good enough, otherwise how could the head choose me?" I took an outsider to be my disciple."

"How can that young boy be compared with the elder brother? It's just a moment of confusion for the real master to come." Another person said disapprovingly: "It is a mistake for the real master to accept that kid as an apprentice, and someone needs to help correct this. Mistake——Isn't the Beastmaster Sect always very eager to be fair and righteous?"

"Will the Emperor Beast Sect really take this blame?" Fang Honglang asked worriedly. He looked at his junior brother Xu Xun, hoping that this resourceful fellow sect could give him an affirmative answer.

Xu Xun secretly spat on Fang Honglang's "cowardly as a mouse", but he didn't show it at all on his face. Instead, he still smiled and said: "The Royal Beast Sect never misses the opportunity to enter and exit the Biling Secret Realm. This time they will definitely They will also send people over. People from the Beast Master Sect have always had a quick temper, and when the time comes, they will casually create some friction, then push Xiao Zibai out, and move their hands and feet a little..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xun pretended to shake his head, and made a sad face: "I have pity on my little junior brother. He originally went to the Biling secret realm to try out after hearing the words of the master master. He never expected that day. To die in a fair duel under the watchful eyes of everyone, God is jealous of a talent, a young man is so miserable!"

So Fang Honglang laughed reassuringly. When he laughed, he didn't think at all that Xu Xun was the mastermind of the "little hands and feet", but he was the one who really wanted to do it.

Fang Honglang wanted to kill Xiao Zibai because Xiao Zibai, a boy who appeared out of nowhere, snatched the position of head disciple that he had been looking for for a long time. He thought that killing Xiao Zibai would make the position of head disciple vacant again. , the next person who sits on it can be replaced by himself.Xu Xun helped Fang Honglang kill Xiao Zibai, and it was entirely for the purpose of seizing Fang Honglang's handle, so as to make trouble at the critical moment, so that Fang Honglang died without a place to bury him.

The two people with different intentions stood beside the seldom-occupied cold pool and talked for a while. After confirming the implementation plan, they left here respectively.In order to avoid suspicion from others, Fang Honglang deliberately took a step first, leaving Xu Xun to wait for a while before leaving.

After the two of them left one after another, Xiao Zibai stood up silently from the pool, looked at the direction in which the two left, without the slightest expression on his face.

In the depths of his mind, a hazy memory emerged faintly.
