Chapter 31 Return

Cultivation is not easy, spring and autumn in a blink of an eye.

In Jianglin City, the New Year is approaching, and the branches are covered with snow.

Today is another day when the Martial Arts Academy comes to enroll students once a year. In the huge square, ink stones have been erected early.

There was a lot of voices and it was very lively.

In the next three days, as long as they are young men and women who are not over eighteen years old, they can come forward and have a try. The results will be recorded by the inspectors of the Martial Arts Academy present, and all men and women who meet the standards can enter the Martial Arts Academy to practice for three years.

Whenever this time comes, Jianglin City is bustling. Almost every moment, someone steps up to give it a try. Although only those few people in Jianglin City can really enter the Martial Arts Academy to practice, this does not hinder everyone's enthusiasm.

The first two days are basically reserved for ordinary people. Only on the third day, big families like the Lu family and the Mo family will send their own children to test.

But this year, several big families are very calm. Because someone in their family has already entered the Martial Arts Academy, and there are already people who have succeeded.

Before this time, the children who went to the Martial Arts Academy will rush back to prepare for their own New Year Festival

Lu Ming, Zhang Yuehan, and Mo Yunfei were all sitting beside their Patriarch.

This is a teahouse located next to the square. The location is the best, with a clear view. From the teahouse, you can just overlook the entire square.

At this time, all the boxes in the teahouse were already full of people, and the best boxes were naturally reserved for the big families in Jiang Lincheng.

Mo Tian drank tea leisurely, talking and laughing with Mo Yunfei and Mo Lin beside him.

The Zhang family, Zhang Yan, was also drinking hot tea, but his brows were frowning with a bitter look on his face. During this period of time, because of the loss of one hundred thousand gold coins to the Lu family, the head of the Zhang family had trouble sleeping and eating for several months. The lack of money has caused the family to complain, and it is estimated that it will take at least one or two years to recover. Every time Zhang Yan thinks of this, he regrets endlessly.

Zhang Yuehan beside him didn't say a word, his eyes were always outside the sky, as if he was waiting for someone to come.

Only Lu Haoran from the Lu family couldn't drink any more tea, and he couldn't stop turning his head to ask Lu Hao beside him, "Why hasn't Lu Fan come back yet? Doesn't he know that these days are the days when the Martial Arts Academy recruits students? What the hell are you doing?" Have you sent someone to look for it?"

Lu Hao didn't know how many times this was the first time he answered today, and said with a bitter face: "Manpower has been sent to look for it. Lu Fan said at the beginning that he went to the mountains to practice hard, and no one knew where it was. But he has been I have always wanted to enter the Martial Arts Academy, so there is no reason not to come back. You can just wait at ease, he will come back before tonight."

Lu Haoran said: "I hope you are right. I am afraid that he will encounter some trouble in the Western Mountains."

Lu Hao smiled easily and said, "Don't worry about this. With Lu Fan's strength, he won't encounter any trouble in Xishan."

Lu Haoran said: "That's true. I thought too much. When Lu Fan comes back, with his cultivation level, the Martial Arts Academy's test will be just a formality. At that time, our Lu family will be the only one with two children in Jiang Lincheng You have entered the family of the Martial Arts Academy. Lu Ming, you and Lu Fan should take care of each other in the Martial Arts Academy in the future. No matter what happens in the family, you are still brothers connected by blood. One family, not to mention two families It is the tradition and family rule of the Lu family to speak together, to speak out unanimously, and to support each other."

Lu Ming who was sitting beside Lu Feng got up and nodded. Raising his head, Lu Ming seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated to speak.

Lu Haoran saw it from the side, and asked aloud: "Lu Ming, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Ming took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, I know that Lu Fan and I have always been at odds, but what I'm going to say next is definitely not to harm Lu Fan."

Lu Haoran frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "When Lu Fan comes back, please persuade him...to persuade him not to take the test."

Lu Ming seemed to have made a lot of determination to say this, Lu Haoran immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Lu Ming, do you know what you are talking about? Could it be that your jealousy has reached such a point."

Lu Feng hurriedly stepped forward, held down his son Lu Ming, and said to Lu Haoran: "Father, don't be angry. I think there must be a reason for Lu Ming to say this. Lu Ming, why don't you explain it quickly."

Lu Haoran and Lu Hao were all staring at Lu Ming.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ming said: "I heard the news in the academy. Mo Yunfei seems to have bribed Nalan Ruo, the instructor who came to represent the academy to recruit students this time. There is only one purpose, which is to prevent Lu Fan from entering the Martial Arts Academy. He During Lu Fan's test, he will do something. More likely, he will hinder Lu Fan's test in person."

Hearing this, Lu Haoran and Lu Hao turned their heads and looked towards the square.

Beside Moshi, there are three college instructors sitting. The middle-aged man in the middle, dressed in a white dragon pattern warrior suit, with a sword wound on his face and missing a finger on his left hand, is what Lu Ming called Nalan Ruo. Just yesterday, the Lu family and the Mo family jointly hosted a banquet and invited him to dinner.

Lu Haoran said slowly: "Lu Ming, are you serious?"

Lu Mingdao: "If even half a sentence is false, I would like to be blessed by divine thunder."

Lu Haoran frowned, and said: "If Nalan is the leading mentor this time, the other two mentors must not dare to refute what he said. If everything you said is true, Lu Fan will really be in trouble."

Lu Hao said angrily: "He can still lie to Moshi. How can he stop the strength that is certain?"

Lu Haoran said angrily: "Stupid. Moshi is hard to fake, but won't he find a reason to explain that Lu Fan's strength is not right? There are still many crooked ways in this continent that can make a person's strength grow rapidly. But This kind of growth is disgusting to the world, and the Martial Arts Academy will not accept it. As long as the opponent kills this point, Lu Fan will not be able to argue with it. After all, the opponent is the instructor of the Martial Arts Academy, and his words have more weight than ours."

Cold sweat came down Lu Hao's face immediately, and he said, "Yes, Lu Fan's strength has improved a bit too quickly. If this is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, it will really be unfavorable for him to enter the academy."

Lu Haoran snorted coldly and said: "I'm afraid this caring person is Mo Laogui. This matter is not his idea, so there is a ghost. The soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth. The most urgent thing is to wait for Lu Fan to come back. Only him Come back first, so we can discuss countermeasures based on his strength."

Lu Hao got up immediately and said, "I will immediately send another group of people to look for Lu Fan."

Lu Haoran nodded slightly, and Lu Hao left quickly.

Frowning tightly, Lu Haoran looked at Nalan Ruo's face, his eyes gradually became sharp.

Lu Ming sat back in his seat and turned to look at the lively square. In fact, Lu Ming also had such a question in his mind, didn't Lu Fan's strength really come from crooked ways?

Can a person who has been useless for more than ten years really be able to turn himself over by his own efforts?

. . . . . .

On the other side, Mo Yunfei whispered a few words into Mo Tian's ear, and suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of Mo Tian's mouth.

"Very good, as long as Teacher Nalan is willing to help, no matter how talented Lu Fan is, he will not be able to enter the Martial Arts Academy. If he misses this opportunity, he will be eighteen years old, and he will never have the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Academy in his life. Can't enter Martial arts academy means that he will take more than ten years of detours in martial arts training. And he will not be taught by famous teachers, and he will not have advanced martial arts skills. This is called, if you miss one step, you will miss your whole life. Wonderful, wonderful. "

Mo Yunfei smiled and said: "Grandpa has no plans, this time Lu Fan is dead. Although he is strong enough, he will end in failure this time. Grandpa, I have always had a question. Lu Fan really did not rely on Is he cultivating in a crooked way? His strength has grown so fast, it's unbelievable. Maybe what we did this time can just make him show his original shape."

Mo Tian shook his hand and said, "Yunfei, you are wrong. If it was a crooked way, he would not have been able to defeat you in the arena that time. It's true that a crooked way can make a person's cultivation greatly increase, but the Lu family's raging fire golden body martial arts skill you How to explain. This is a real skill. Lu Fan is undoubtedly the strength gained through hard work, you have to remember this. To deal with the enemy, you can be cruel, ruthless, and unscrupulous. But you can’t underestimate the opponent, and you can’t see the opponent’s true strength strength."

Mo Yunfei put on a teachable expression.

Mo Tian smiled and said: "If we talk about crooked ways, Zhang Yuehan of the Zhang family is actually more suspicious. The foundation is not stable, and the energy is not solid. Even if it is not crooked, it will be counterproductive. It is ridiculous that the Zhang family thinks that they really have a genius. Yun Fei, you didn't associate with Zhang Yuehan anymore, did you?"

Mo Yunfei shook his head and said, "No more. She has found a bigger backer in the academy, and she doesn't take me seriously at all."

Mo Tian sneered and said: "The ability to find a man is pretty good. Unfortunately, it's not the right way after all."

After a pause, Mo Tian asked, "Has Lu Fan from the Lu family come back?"

Behind him, Mo Lin said: "It seems that he hasn't come back yet."

Mo Tian smiled and said: "It's best not to come back, and it will save us from counting him. If he really died in the deep mountains and old forests, maybe in the future, Jiang Lincheng will remember the amazingly talented Lu Fan from the Lu family. But if he comes back, this genius Lu Fan will turn into a crooked Lu Fan."

After speaking, Mo Tian, ​​Mo Yunfei, and Mo Lin all laughed.

. . . . . .

At this time, Jianglin was outside the city, at the foot of the West Mountain.

A figure walked out slowly, naked upper body, with an epee on his back, and a black dog standing on his head.

"Haha, I'm back. Jiang Lincheng, I'm back. Xiao Hei, from today onwards, you don't have to cook every day. Master is willing to stay in the mountains, so let him stay in the mountains."

The sun shone on this person's face, it was Lu Fan who had returned from penance.

Looking at the city gate that appeared in front of him, Lu Fan opened his arms and smiled.

Standing on top of his head, Xiao Hei looked at the human city curiously, opened his eyes wide, and let out a long roar.

Lu Fan suddenly quickened his pace and rushed towards the city gate. The epee behind his back could not affect Lu Fan's running at all, and the ground under his feet was not stepped into a deep depression.
