Chen Lichou bowed slightly to show his respect for Ding Ning, and then turned to look at Xu Lianhua and Xia Wan.

"I don't want you to be with him."

He was silent for a moment and said, "This is a very unwise act."

Xu Lianhua looked at the friend's golden face dyed by the sun, and a self-deprecating smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then he lowered his head.

For him, sometimes he just lowered his head and didn't want people to see his disappointment and sadness.

"A person always does something unwise in his life... because many things are more important than reason and wisdom, such as friendship."

Xu Lianhua lowered her head and said slowly.

The breeze in the valley blew on Chen Lichou.

The breeze in early summer is very warm, but Chen Lichou feels a little cold.

He and Xu Lianhua have known each other for a long time, so at this time he completely heard the meaning of Xu Lianhua's words.

If it weren't for Ding Ning today, but Chen Lichou was a disciple of Aries Cave, because of his friendship, Xu Lianhua would have sat beside him.

However, now, he was unwilling to sit next to Xu Lianhua, so the friendship was naturally gone.

Chen Licho's mouth was slightly bitter, and he could no longer persuade Xu Lianhua. After taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Xia Wan's eyes.

However, Xia Wan turned her head and avoided his gaze.

Chen Licho got the answer.

He was also a little sad, but he didn't think his choice was wrong.

In his opinion, friendship can also be chosen.

You can clearly choose a bright future, but why do you choose to go to a narrower dead end with some people?

He turned around silently, ready to walk through the shed to the other side.

"Do you want to drink hot water?"

Just then, a somewhat restrained but polite voice came into his ears.

His brows leaped, and he looked at him in the sound. Zhang Yi was holding a bowl of hot water and looking at him sincerely.

Chen Lichou looked at Zhang Yi's eyes.

Zhang Yi's eyes were very sincere.

"I can't understand."

Chen Lichou did not take the bowl from Zhang Yi's hand, turned around and continued to leave, smiling as if he was a little self-deprecating, and said softly: "Who would have the possibility of dying with him for a bowl of hot water?"

Hearing his words, Xu Lianhua remained silent.

He thought Chen Lichou's words were correct.

It’s just that some things only have something to do with people’s feelings and have nothing to do with right or wrong.

"Can it be him?"

When Chen Lichou turned around and left, Xia Wan had already turned around and looked at his back. At this time, Chen Lichou was walking away, and she said softly.

"Won't."

Dugu Bai, who had been cutting the wooden sword seriously, had not looked at Chen Lichou for a moment, answered her question with certainty: "If it were the last piece she buried, Chen Lichou would not say these words specifically."

Xia Wan took a sip of hot water.

Originally, a person was hungry for a long time, even drinking this pure water would feel sweet. However, at this moment, a burst of bitterness appeared between her mouth and tongue.

Although there are Xu Lianhua, Dugu Bai and Yi Xin around, there are Ye Haoran and Gu Xichun on the other side... plus Chen Lichou, among the top five candidates in the talent list, there are already three of them who must be their opponents.

She knew Chen Lichou's strength very well. She knew that Chen Lichou was much better than her. If it were normal, it might be difficult to decide between Xu Lianhua and Chen Lichou. However, Xu Lianhua is in extreme injuries now, how can she fight?

There is also Lie Yinghong and that chess piece..." She took a deep breath and said slowly.

She didn't say anything completely, but everyone present understood what she meant.

"Why haven't Lie Yinghong come out yet?"

Nangong Caishu, who was dealing with the wound on his left arm, said in a cold voice.

Everyone still doesn’t know that Lie Yinghong has been unable to come out because of Chen Yi and Xie Changsheng. In everyone’s opinion, although Lie Yinghong has not appeared yet, it is only a matter of time.

At this time, there were sixteen or seventeen candidates on the other side of the shed. Whether in terms of quantity or ranking in the talent list, they were absolutely disadvantageous.

...

Chen Licho's footsteps are far away.

The scenes were quiet again, so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy.

“It’s not that complicated.”

Ding Ning likes quiet, but he doesn't like to disturb the people around him, so he calmly said: "With so many people, the chance of winning in the end is already very high."

Everyone around him focused their eyes on him.

Even Dugu Bai, who was already cutting the fifth wooden sword, raised his head and looked at him.

"I don't understand where your faith is, but I think people always have to do some unrestrained things and do some things that make them feel proud of."

Yi Xin suddenly laughed and said sincerely: "Although even if you fail this time, you are already presumptuous enough and will make me feel proud, but I still hope you will succeed in the end."

Xia Wan didn't say anything, but her mood was inexplicably calmed down.

She began to understand that it was meaningful... As long as she felt that something was meaningful, her previous practice seemed to become meaningful.

A wonderful glow began to shine in her eyes.

She thought that this might be the true straightforwardness described in Suxin Jianzhai’s Sword Sutra.

Nangong Caishu's eyes also lit up at this time.

"He Chaoxi is out!"

She let out a pleasant surprise.

A familiar figure who looked tired but extremely strong walked out of the mountain road between the cliffs.

"Fortunately you are by my side, otherwise I would have cried to death."

Xu Lianhua smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Xia Wan beside her.

"Luckily, I don't have many friends at first, so I won't feel that way." Dugu Bai also laughed.

In their sight, He Chaoxi, who was also covered in blood, walked over without hesitation when he saw Ding Ning and others.

"Making friends depends on the timing." Yi Xin added.

Then he laughed too.

Xia Wan's heart suddenly became warm.

She couldn't help laughing, because she knew that she might have just lost a friend, but she would gain many real friends here.

"I really can't figure out that I can still laugh in this situation."

A young man in a light blue brocade dress looked at the smiles of these people from afar, and couldn't help but frown and said to the person beside him.

This young man was Zhou Wangnian, who had a verbal dispute with Xie Changsheng at the beginning of the Sword Association.

At this time, the brocade suit on his back was covered with blood, and several wounds even revealed bones. A selected student behind him was bandaging him.

For some reason, compared to the injuries on his back, the smiles of these people made him feel even more heartbroken.

The simple shed naturally separates the people from both sides, and the few people on Ding Ning's side still seem to be compared with theirs. However, at this moment, Ding Ning and others were just sitting quietly. Not only Zhou Wangnian, but almost everyone on their side felt that Ding Ning and others seemed to bring them more and more pressure.

...

Time passes slowly, and the sky gradually becomes gloomy.

From the beginning, the interval between the selected students came out one after another, and the interval between the selected students came out became longer and longer, and no one appeared for a long time.

Zhang Yi's heart suddenly sank.

In his sight, some practitioners wearing blue jade robes appeared... These practitioners were walking from all the mountain roads between the cliffs towards the valley where they were.

The practitioners of Minshan Sword Sect appeared one after another. He thought that there was only one possibility, that is, the sea of ​​thorns in front was almost over.

At this time, he was not happy that Lie Yinghong had not appeared yet. He just thought that Chen Yi and others had not appeared yet.

A strange noise sounded.

The vast majority of selected students in the valley also began to discover this fact.

Xu Lianhua and Xia Wan couldn't help but look at each other, and at this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded between the cliffs.

It was the ending moment, and almost everyone's breathing became heavier with the heavy footsteps.

The heavy footsteps were beating like war drums, echoing in everyone's hearts.

Nangong Caishu's eyes suddenly widened to the extreme.
