Soul Devouring Sword Master

"Hey, how long do you want to hold me?"

Murong Shi said coldly, causing Lin Xiao, who was running around her waist, to cough dryly, stop quickly, and put her down.

"How do you know it was me?"

Lin Xiao took off his mask and smiled slightly.

"Who else can unleash that kind of Qi sword but you?"

Murong Shi said softly.

"Where are those people from the Wang family? Aren't they your guards?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"When the second Xuanling realm demon appeared just now, we got separated, and then I went to get the demon pill alone."

Murong Shi said lightly, then glanced at Lin Xiao and said, "Thank you for what happened just now."

"You're welcome. You saved my life last time in the Magnolia Mountains."

Lin Xiao smiled lightly and said, if Murong Shi hadn't taken the initiative to leave with the old man in black robe last time, the old man in black robe might not have let him go so easily.

"However, you worked really hard for this demon pill. You dared to take the demon pill from under the nose of the big demon in the Xuanling Realm. It's really too dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous it is, it's worth it, as long as you can get this demon pill and get the first place in the preliminary exam."

Murong Shi said firmly.

"Is it really so important to rank first in the preliminary exam?"

Lin Xiao was confused. As long as he entered the top 100, he could enter the re-examination. Even if he could become the first in the preliminary examination, it was just a false name and had no practical significance.

"You don't understand that the ranking in the preliminary examination of this pride list is not just a simple ranking, it has a greater meaning."

"Every year in the Pride List, some major sects in the Canglan Region will send people to watch the battle, to find out in advance whether there are talents who meet their standards. And in this preliminary examination, the higher the ranking, the easier it will be to get them. "

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, "I see. However, Miss Shi, this demon pill is a blessing and a curse. You are now the target of public criticism. Nangong Jian and those guys will definitely not let you go. There is still half a month until the end of the assessment. They will definitely come to you again."

"I know, but in order to get the first place in the preliminary exam, I have no choice but to take risks."

Murong Shi sighed in a low voice. In order to join those large sects and use their power to protect the royal family and her relatives, she had no choice.

Lin Xiao could tell that Murong Shi must have something unspeakable, just like he had to run forward and grow desperately in order to protect his family.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you just now and see you again." Murong Shi looked at Lin Xiao with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and then turned and left.

"Miss Shi, where are you going?"

"You don't need to worry about me. Nangong Jian and the others must be looking for me everywhere now. I don't want to implicate you. You can go do your own thing."

However, as soon as Murong Shi finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of her. Was it Lin Xiao or who else?

"You don't have to follow me, just do your own thing."

Murong Shi looked at Lin Dan in front of her

"Miss Shi, if you treat me as a friend, let me stay and fight side by side with you. It will be difficult for you to fight against Nangong Jian and his gang by yourself. The situation will be better with me here."

Lin Xiaodao.

"This is very dangerous. There is really no need for you to wade into this muddy water. Besides, this is my own matter. I will handle it myself. I don't want to owe you any more favors."

"I owe you a favor. If you hadn't helped me on the street, I might have died at the hands of Murong Yang in the Prince's Palace. I owe you a favor. Just think that I'm here to repay the favor. Let me go to the meeting with you. Right."

Lin Xiao looked into Murong Shi's eyes sincerely, which made Murong Shi's heart tremble slightly and ripples appeared inexplicably.

"Are you sure you want to follow me? You know the strength of Nangong Jian. This is very dangerous. If you don't do it right, you may even lose your life."

"If it wasn't dangerous, there would be no need for me to follow you. We are friends, and friends should share weal and woe, right?"

Looking at Lin Xiao's sincere eyes, after a moment of silence, Murong Shi's indifferent face showed a rare soft smile, "Yes, we are friends."

"Where are we going now?"

"I don't know. It's my first time to come to this Huangji secret realm. Let's find a secret place to hide first."

----

After a while, Lin Xiao, Murong Shi and others came to a mountain forest and rested in a cave.

This scene seemed familiar. In the Yulan Mountains, the two of them were also in a cave. Lin Xiao still remembered that Murong Shi almost killed him that time.

In the cave, Murong Shi took a pill and sat down to recover from his injuries.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was refining the remaining spiritual herbs and practicing the Immortal Golden Body Art.

Before I knew it, it was too late.

When Murong Shi opened his eyes, a fire had been lit in the cave.

Soon, Lin Xiao dragged a wild boar into the cave and started grilling meat.

Looking at the young man who was seriously grilling meat, Murong Shi couldn't help but have a faint smile on her lips. For some reason, she felt very happy, maybe because she remembered what happened last time in the Magnolia Mountains.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao turned around and saw Murong Shi looking at him blankly. She couldn't help but be startled, and then showed a soft smile, "Miss Shi, the barbecue will be ready soon."

"Ahem..."

Murong Shi coughed dryly, and a blush appeared on her face. She had been staring at this guy just now. Fortunately, Lin Xiao thought she was looking at the roast pig.

"fool."

Murong Shi couldn't help but smile in her heart.
