"Why, is there any question?" The two female students of Suxin Jianzhai did not answer for a while, but the messenger still had a gentle face, and asked another question lightly.
"Senior sister Xia Wan is in meditation. We can't be the master of this matter. It's up to the master to decide." Among the two female students of Su Xin Jian Zhai, the slightly older one replied this sentence in a panic, and then Then he flicked on the scabbard at his waist.
The real essence shook on the scabbard, but it made a pleasant sound like the ding-dong of spring water.
Although this sound is pleasant to hear, it is a warning sign in Suxin Jianzhai.
It was only a matter of counting breaths, watching figures flashing in the empty courtyard, and not long after, more than a dozen people came to the gate of the mountain as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The two female students who were guarding the mountain gate went up to them with their heads lowered anxiously. In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that the several teachers who were in power in Jianzhai had a bad attitude towards Xia Wan, but they also still had feelings in their hearts. Some extravagant hopes, thinking that the other teachers might be able to protect Senior Sister Xia Wan.
The envoy still had a gentle expression on his face, looking at the dozen or so people who welcomed him with some fascination.
Back then, a female cultivator looked about forty years old, wearing a black robe, with a square face that was a bit masculine, but she had a calm demeanor, not like a big man.
"Zaizhu"
When the two female students guarding the mountain gate came to this woman, they all bowed and saluted. Hearing their names, the female cultivator who was the head was Murong Xiu, the current master of Suxin Jianzhai.
"whats the matter?"
Murong Xiu asked a question, which didn't give people the feeling of being harsh, but instead gave people the feeling of generosity.
On the other hand, there was a sharp-faced female cultivator standing on the left side of her body. She looked about the same age as her, and she was wearing almost the same robe, but her eyes were flickering with coldness, but it gave off a particularly cold and stern feeling.
The envoy noticed this person at a glance, and seeing the cold and stern look of this female cultivator, he smiled thoughtfully.
The two female students guarding the mountain gate immediately explained the purpose of the envoy's visit. Murongxiu frowned slightly, but then her face returned to normal. When she arrived at the mountain gate, she bowed her head to the envoy and asked in a clear voice. : "Is it the holy majesty or the empress who sent an envoy to see Xia Wan?"
"It's the second prince's will."
The messenger replied indifferently, but did not say what was the matter. This means that if there is anything to do, I will talk about it after seeing Xia Wan.
"Second Prince Hu Hai?"
These practitioners of Suxin Jianzhai couldn't help but forget to glance at each other, their eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
Although they live in seclusion, they are well informed about all the news about their practice, and they also know a little about the changes in the Changling Imperial City.
Now Yuan Wu and Zheng Xiu seem to be tired of dealing with the overall situation outside. Some things in the court are handled by the two prime ministers, but recently Hu Hai has intervened in many things, and the two prime ministers have nothing to do with it reaction.
As far as the outside world is concerned, although Fusu returned to Changling, it seems that he suddenly fell out of favor.
In this way, it is very likely that Hu Hai will inherit the Great Qin Dynasty in the future.
The two prime ministers both took a tolerant attitude towards Hu Hai's actions, and perhaps they also had long-term considerations in this regard.
Furthermore, there are still rumors outside that Xu Fu, who has been overseas, will return. I am afraid that there will be major changes among the dignitaries in Changling, and Xu Fu's position in the future may not be higher than these two prime ministers.
The two prime ministers may have to rely on the prince to counter Xu Fu.
These thoughts just flashed through the minds of these Suxin Jianzhai practitioners in an instant. No matter what it was, they naturally did not dare to disobey the prince's will.
"Follow me, please." Murong Xiu nodded, but the woman with a cold and sharp face behind her spoke out first, and then led the way.
The envoy followed these people into Suxin Jianzhai. The twisted pines and cypresses on the cliff above blocked the rain, and there was only soft drizzle falling inside, and there was no need for an umbrella.
He was a little surprised, put away his umbrella and followed these people through several courtyards, to the daily residence of some handyman disciples.
Most of the handyman disciples in each practice area come from the children of farmers in nearby villages. Some of them have cultivation talents, but they are not outstanding, so they are recruited into the sword academy to do some clumsy work. , to help the sect outside.
In fact, as long as the sect is sent out, these handyman disciples will no longer be able to get in touch with future practice, let alone some of the most profound secret arts in the place of practice.
In the practice ground, the miscellaneous disciples have a lot of chores to do, such as sweeping the courtyard, boiling water and cooking, doing laundry and chopping firewood. The medicine of the door, the things of practice and so on.
But when the envoy followed Suxin Jianzhai and others into the courtyard where these handyman disciples lived, a girl washing clothes by a stream was Xia Wan. Clothes, some are even the thick layered clothes worn by disciples in the sect when they practice sword competitions.
This kind of clothes can withstand the chopping of ordinary wooden swords, which is very practical, but when wearing a sword, it is often soaked in sweat, and when it is piled up, it smells very bad.
The messenger stopped, and he quietly looked at Xia Wan who was doing laundry.
These Suxin Jianzhai practitioners all saw that he knew it was Xia Wan, and most of them began to carefully observe his reaction.
It's just that the expression of this man in his thirties has always been gentle, and there is no major change.
They couldn't see anything, but the messenger watched Xia Wan doing laundry. Slowly, he saw some clues, and some strange expressions appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"Xia Wan, come here."
The cold and sharp-faced woman next to Murong Xiu gave a very rude drink.
Xia Wan, who hadn't stopped doing laundry before, stood up, washed her hands, rolled up her slightly wet sleeves, and turned around.
Compared with the Minshan Sword Club, this girl seems to have aged a little bit, and she has grown a little bit taller, but her neither humble nor overbearing attitude has changed.
"Cultivation has reached the middle rank of the fifth realm. Compared with when you first entered the talent book and participated in the Minshan Sword Festival, you have made great progress." The envoy had always been reticent before, but his faint expression It gave people a sense of arrogance, but seeing Xia Wan approaching, he was the first to speak and said this sentence.
Xia Wan frowned slightly, her complexion didn't change much, but she was a little surprised in her heart.
Everyone in Suxin Jianzhai was also a little confused. The envoy didn't say his identity or purpose of coming, but first commented on Xia Wan's practice. What does this mean
"If I remember correctly, Xia Wan was ranked 12th in the talent book at that time."
The envoy turned his head, looked at all the people present at Suxin Jianzhai, and said, "But if we rearrange the list of talents now, she probably won't be able to get into the top 30, right?"
There was silence.
Everyone didn't understand the meaning of his words, but vaguely felt that his tone was a little harsh.
"At that time, some of those who entered the talent list at that time had already entered the sixth realm, and some even broke through the seventh realm. Support, and now there are quite a few who have reached the peak of the fifth realm, but are just stuck in the breaking realm of the sixth realm."
The envoy then said slowly: "She was only at the fourth realm at the time, but since she has broken through the checkpoints from the fourth realm to the fifth realm, and between the fifth realm and the peak of the fifth realm, it should be very fast. But now she is still there. This can only explain two points. One is that Suxin Jianzhai did not give her support at all, and Suxin Rosin Pill probably did not even give her a single one, let alone other auxiliary elixir. Li sympathized with the dead in Su Xin Jian Zhai, and even rewarded a batch of elixir, which seems to have not fallen on her head at all. The second is that she wasted too much time by these chores, and she simply did not have enough time to Carry out true essence cultivation."
As soon as these few words were uttered, the faces of a small half of the people present suddenly changed.
This seems... a bit unkind.
