Ding Ning frowned slightly.
What Changsun Qianxue said was right, this Changling is full of grievances, as long as one steps into it, it will be filled with countless grievances, and now the grievances are difficult, and it will be even more troublesome if there is any love debt involved.
He still didn't know how to speak, but Xie Rou looked at him and said, "I have drawn my sword to swear, and many people here can testify, so it's not a joke."
Ding Ning looked at her cold face shining with porcelain brilliance, his expression became serious, and he said softly in a voice that only he and Xie Rou could hear: "I understand that some people promise money, and some people value the reputation of the family. It's more important than life, but we haven't seen it before, it's just for a bet that no one else may take seriously... Is this too paranoid? And I heard that Xie's family is not an ordinary family. If you do this, your family Not necessarily agreeing."
Xie Rou looked at his serious and calm eyes, and her heart became inexplicably much calmer.
Maybe it's because this young man really has something extraordinary, at least he didn't disappoint her
"It's my fault to act arbitrarily and make rumors." She looked into Ding Ning's eyes and said softly, "I will be responsible for getting them to agree."
Ding Ning couldn't help frowning even deeper, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes couldn't help falling on his last flower sword, and his heart was trembling at this moment.
Xie Rou is just a young girl who hasn't practiced for many years, but her seriousness and the look in her eyes made him think of the owner of the last foil sword inexplicably.
"The key lies in your opinion." Xie Rou hesitated for a moment, but immediately her eyes became firm again, and she said sincerely: "We only met for the first time, but your calmness without being shocked by honor or disgrace, But you make me like you more than these young talents around you, emotional things can be cultivated slowly, I just hope you don't feel too abrupt, don't think about family status."
Ding Ning felt more and more that Xie Rou and the owner of the last foil had similarities. If it was a coincidence, then he didn't like this kind of coincidence very much, so he took a deep breath, and his heart became cold. Get up, and said directly and decisively: "This is impossible, I will not accept your proposal, so you should not have such thoughts."
Xie Rou's face turned pale again, she bit her lip, and remained stubborn for a while.
Ding Ning raised his head and looked at her deeply: "I will never marry you, so we'd better not mention this matter again, and let this matter be gradually forgotten by everyone."
Xie Rou's eyes were reddish.
After all, she is only a young girl, and she did not know how much courage it took to make such a decision, but after taking a few deep breaths and violent chest heaves, she bowed deeply to Ding Ning .
"I'm wrong about this matter... But you don't have to marry, but I can't."
After saying this, she turned around and walked back to the place where all the spectators gathered.
Ding Ning's heart sank suddenly.
Others may not be able to understand this sentence for a while, but Xie Rou's eyes that turned around for a moment made Ding Ning understand it instantly.
She was more resolute than he imagined.
She doesn't force him to marry her, but she must marry him. So if he doesn't marry, she won't marry, and won't marry someone else.
It seems ridiculous.
But Ding Ning couldn't laugh at all at the moment.
"Actually, she is a good match."
Like everyone around him, Li Daoji kept silent all the time, but at this moment he turned his body sideways and whispered his voice into Ding Ning's ears, "Let's not talk about Xie Jiafu in Guanzhong, it has a lot to do with your future practice." Great help, I am very satisfied with her appearance and conduct, I suggest you really think about it seriously."
"You still want to add to the chaos, do you do this?" Ding Ning said angrily, "I am only a young man, I have just practiced, I have just arrived here, and I haven't even seen what the Ivy Sword Academy looks like. Come and talk to me about marriage... "
Li Daoji glanced at him, and interrupted him, "You can take your time to see the Qingteng Sword Academy and other scenery, but some people will stop after they miss it."
Ding Ning became more and more annoyed: "Is it really good for her to do this? As an elder, you can also see her fierceness. What you have to do is to think about how to persuade her to give up this in the future." Besides, if you really like it, you can let her marry you."
Li Daoji rarely saw Ding Ning's distraught expression, so he couldn't help but smile slightly: "I would like to, but she doesn't like me."
Ding Ning was immediately annoyed.
"Sister, I did a good job on this matter, so you and your brother-in-law have a formal ceremony, right?" Looking at Xie Rou who came back, Xie Changsheng pretended to be sincere.
Xie Rou's expression was normal, she glanced at him and said, "Childish."
Xie Changsheng didn't expect Xie Rou to just spit out two words so simply, and the pride in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Xu Heshan and Nangong Caishu had some inexplicable feelings for Xie Rou in their hearts. They both looked at Xie Changsheng and sighed, "It's not careful to make friends."
…
In the eyes of Duanmu Lian and some teachers of the Ivy Sword Academy, what Xie Changsheng did was naturally a farce, but because of the identity of the students from the outer academy who came to watch the ceremony, they couldn't directly reprimand him severely.
But thinking that the sword sacrifice trial, which had always been very solemn in the Ivy Sword Academy, was stained by this atmosphere from the very beginning, their faces became even more ugly.
"It's almost time. Dean Di is waiting in the back mountain. The trial of sword sacrifice can start at any time. Master Xue, do you want to take a short rest first, or go now?"
Duanmu Lian tried his best not to be influenced by bad emotions, he went forward and bowed to Xue Wangxu from a distance.
Seeing Xue Wangxu with white beard and hair, all the young talents who came to watch the ceremony felt a little chill in their hearts. When they woke up, this old man was already an admirable seventh-level practitioner.
"It's just an old man in his dying years. Come along and take a look. Everything here is handled by Li Daoji, so you don't need to ask me for my opinion." Hearing Duanmulian's question, Xue Wangxu smiled and said.
If it's really an old man in his dying years who comes to visit casually, that's fine.
If there were no seventh-level practitioners like you, the Qingteng Sword Academy wouldn't feel bound and unable to let go today.
Duanmulian cursed softly in his heart, but on the face he was still reserved and polite, nodding to Li Daoji.
"The journey is not far away. There is nothing to rest. Practitioners don't need to stick to the details. I think everyone here thinks that the sooner the better." Li Daoji is in a good mood, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth.
"Then let's go immediately."
Duanmu Lian didn't want to say much, he continued to greet, and asked the students who participated in the trial to come together, and the students who were unable to participate in the trial after the age limit and the students from the outer courtyard to observe the ceremony followed behind.
"Teacher Duanmu."
At this moment, several students of Ivy Sword Academy suddenly said, "He Zhaoxi is not here."
Hearing this name, Gu Xichun's eyes, who had been gloomy since Ding Ning's arrival in the crowd, suddenly shone coldly.
He hadn't met He Zhaoxi before, but he knew that He Zhaoxi was a worthy opponent who might pose a threat to him in the Minshan Sword Club in the future.
Duanmulian was slightly taken aback.
If the other students didn't come to gather at this time, he must be extremely annoyed at this moment, but it was He Zhaoxi who didn't come at this time, and his face looked a little better.
"He Zhaoxi!"
He turned around and let out a long howl in the depths of the many halls of the Ivy Sword Academy, and the sound spread far away.
After a few breaths, there was a sound of breaking through the air.
A stern young man with an unusually well-proportioned figure in a thin green shirt flew over from the middle of several stone halls.
There was always white air steaming from his body.
It wasn't the sweat on his body, the sweat on his body had long been wiped away by his true energy, and the clothes on his body were also very dry and refreshing. The white air was only because his body temperature melted the surrounding hoarfrost.
Such a high body temperature can only show that he was still doing a lot of strenuous exercises for his body just now.
Thinking of the rumors about this person's hard work, Gu Xichun's eyes turned colder.
…
"He Zhaoxi is He Zhaoxi. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, he spends almost all his time on cultivation. It is impossible for him not to know that today is the sword sacrifice trial, but he probably just doesn't want to waste time, so he is still practicing. Wait until now to come out." Ding Ning was looking at the boy carefully, and Nangong Caishu's voice sounded beside him.
Nangong Caishu had already walked to his side.
"If you can avoid him during the trial, try to avoid him." Seeing Ding Ning turn his head, Nangong Caishu said this sentence again, while everyone's eyes were still on He who flew over. On Zhao Xi, she stuffed the jade box she had been holding into Ding Ning's hand, "This is the elixir my father tried to find."
Ding Ning was taken aback.
This is something he didn't expect.
"It was just delivered today. This is the Huangting Golden Pill of the Huangting Pill Sect. My father specially asked an uncle who is very familiar with me to come and tell me. The effect of this elixir is amazing. If you Taking the current cultivation level can directly allow you to break through to the later stage of middle-level bone cutting, but it will also bring a lot of adverse effects, and even make the true essence not so pure." Nangong Caishu whispered in his ear : "I just heard from my uncle that I haven't had time to check the book yet, so I think you'd better wait until the sword sacrificial trial is over, check the book more, and then decide whether to use it after you have a thorough understanding of this elixir. To use."
Ding Ning nodded.
Although he has never heard of this kind of elixir, he knows very well that he can use this elixir. If he has such an elixir in his hand, then he will get the top three in this sword sacrifice trial. Then a little more sure.
