A wisp of green smoke rises from the burning incense. Xijue and Nanke don't seem to want to get into a one-on-one relationship. After all, Gu Qingyan can give them some medicine at any point. This is Gu Qingyan's unique skill. It's really fun.

If it comes hard, none of them can resist it.

So the two of them just had a general discussion. The two of them joined forces to confront Gu Qingyan directly. Beiming would definitely be in the way, so it would be better to go directly towards Beiming.

Gu Qingyan and Beiming both united their fronts before confronting each other, so they naturally formed two versus two.

As soon as the four people hit the plum blossom pile, the shape made it clear. Beiming hit the plum blossom pile diagonally on Gu Qingyan, and opposite them were Xijue and Nanke side by side. Except for Gu Qingyan, the weapons of the three of them

They are all swords.

Gu Qingyan had her hand in her sleeve, and no one knew whether it was a fan or a whip held in her hand at this moment.

Xijue and Nanke attacked first, not towards Gu Qingyan, but directly towards Beiming. Beiming stepped forward to meet him, and with a horizontal sword movement, he first blocked the swords of the two men who came directly towards them.

Xijue sheathed his sword quickly. Seeing that Nanke and Beiming had closed the distance to restrain each other, Xijue drew his sword and headed towards Beiming from the other side. Halfway through, the sword was tied up with a long whip. Xijue turned his head and looked

, Gu Qingyan, who had been standing still just now, was now at a right angle to the Western Conference.

Gu Qingyan looked at Beiming. At this moment, Beiming had just exchanged a move with Nanke. Now, three moves had passed. Gu Qingyan nodded towards Beiming, and the two of them suddenly came to each other from the middle.

The periphery of the Western Conference Finals and Nanke.

Next came Gu Qingyan's long whip attack. The Western Jue lunch was close to Gu Qingyan's side, and the sword and whip were entangled with each other.

Beiming and Nanke went back and forth, neither giving way to the other. After a while, the two people who had planned to join forces to target Beiming first no longer cared about each other.

The situation changed and Beiming and Gu Qingyan cooperated tacitly. When Gu Qingyan attacked from a distance, Beiming would always protect the support within five steps of Gu Qingyan. When Beiming attacked quickly, Gu Qingyan would contain the opponent.

Another person, reducing the threat to Beiming.

The four people were fighting fiercely at the top, and it was hard to tell the winner. Some people below couldn't help but whisper.

"Look at the cooperation between Master and Master Beiming."

"Don't be so ignorant. You don't know that Master and Mr. Beiming have been practicing martial arts together since they were young. Each of their moves has been honed over many years."

"If you ask me, Mr. Nanke usually follows the second master and is gentle and elegant. But when he shows his true nature, it is so different from usual."

"Young Master Xijue is worthy of being the number one ghost in Yuhua Tower, he is quite stable."

"Ahem." Dongqing coughed softly. It was enough to discuss a word or two, but why did he get more and more excited as he talked, so he had to stop him.

He also knows that the four people who are currently playing happily here each have their own strengths. Nanke, Xijue, and Beiming can be considered experts in the outside world if they take just one of them, let alone Gu Qingyan, this little ancestor is

No one would be left alive if she took action, and no matter what method she used, it was just chilling.

Seeing that the time for burning incense was almost up, the four people were still on top while going back and forth. For a few times, they looked like they were about to get off the plum blossom pile, but they suddenly went back again.

When watching the moves, viewers couldn't help but sigh that these people are indeed very skilled in martial arts.

Take Gu Qingyan's Qinggong as an example. She dodged several times and attacked at a very high speed. She only saw a figure flashing past and was already hit. No one could see her steps clearly.

At the last moment, Beiming flipped his sword over. Gu Qingyan jumped up and waved his long whip in the air. Xijue and Nanke felt a chill approaching and turned around to avoid it, but Beiming took advantage of it.

This gap went towards the two of them. In the end, the three of them landed on the plum blossom pile together. The moment they fell, they knelt on the ground with one leg and their swords were stuck on the ground for support. People close to the three of them could see that Xi Jue and Nan Ke

There was a whip mark on his neck, and there were also marks of a long whip on Beiming's back.

At the moment when everyone thought that Gu Qingyan had won, Gu Qingyan slowly walked over and said, "Get up."

The three of them stood up. When everyone looked at Gu Qingyan, they discovered that Gu Qingyan's original mask had fallen aside. Now, a piece of veil that was not very transparent was pulled off from under the gauze skirt to cover the face, and the right side of her forehead was also lowered.

Use some hair to cover it.

Beiming stood up and stepped back. He went to get a spare mask for Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan said to Xijue and Nanke: "The mask is also an item on my body. In the end, it's me who got off the plum blossom pile first."

Gu Qingyan's mask was pulled open by a sword during the fight and fell off. When Beiming found out, he took the lead in blocking Gu Qingyan. He winked at Xijue and Nanke. During the fight, the three of them almost looked at Gu Qingyan.

Qing Yan was surrounded in the middle, so the people below naturally didn't notice much.

Seeing that it was almost over, Beiming was just thinking about what to do when he saw Gu Qingyan's posture. He immediately cooperated with Gu Qingyan and took the two people who didn't know what was going on down together, while keeping the eyes of those watching below.

With them, Gu Qingyan also had time.

Dongqing admired Gu Qingyan very much. At that time, they took off Gu Qingyan's mask by mistake. Gu Qingyan was still timid. After these years, he watched Gu Qingyan become calmer and calmer, little by little,

Maybe winning or losing in a game is not really winning or losing to Gu Qingyan.

"Okay, you have seen what you need to see. I hope you know that whether it is you, the Ghost Guards, Nanke or the others, or even me, if I am not careful, I will be doomed to fail. The same is true for the trial."

Gu Qingyan said to everyone, and after saying that, Gu Qingyan asked Dongqing to organize people, and the afternoon practice was about to begin. Nanke and Xijue also took the order and went down to lead their own small teams.

Gu Qingyan first went to her rest room in the stone gate, changed her clothes and mask, and returned to the training ground with Beiming.

"Isn't that child Yiyi?"

Gu Qingyan passed by the training ground for the new batch of children and saw that the girl named Yiyi was still among them. She remembered that she asked her second brother to come over and see them.

Beiming knew what Gu Qingyan was worried about, and said: "Second Master has been here, and the child insisted on staying at Shimen. Second Master had no choice, so he left it alone for now."

"Does this child's father know?" Gu Qingyan was curious.

Beiming replied: "I know. After the second master asked, I found out that it was Mr. Chen who sent it to Yuhualou."

"Okay." Gu Qingyan agreed first. She was thinking that one day she would talk to Zong Yue again and take this girl back.

Girls in Shimen have to endure more than men before they can compare with men. This is how she has been here, and she knows the feeling all too well.

She persisted because she was burdened with unavoidable responsibilities and hatred, but as far as she knew, this girl had a happy family and a pure life...

"Master, do you want to call her over?" Beiming asked when he saw that Gu Qingyan didn't speak or move forward.

Gu Qingyan shook her head and said, "No, let's talk about it later."

There is a stand in the training ground. The small team training directly facing the stand is the secret guard who will participate in the trial this time. Gu Qingyan is sitting in the stand, and Beiming is standing on the side, watching every move below.

This small team is currently training for the Western Conference. Today's training is traditional moves. Gu Qingyan always believes that only with a solid foundation can they use them skillfully and freely.

Thinking back to those years when she was practicing Qing Gong, Qianhua Yu asked Gu Qingyan to practice it one by one from wooden posts and low platforms. Later, she slowly started to use vines and branches to shuttle through the forest. Finally, she was able to practice freely.

She started practicing this Qing Gong before she even entered Shimen, which lasted for at least ten years.

As she watched, Gu Qingyan always felt that a few people looked unfamiliar. She personally selected these people for the trial more than half a year ago. Although she could not remember everyone accurately, she could recognize seven of them by looking at their faces.

788. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw Xi Jue walking towards the two of them and came to Gu Qingyan: "Master."

Xi Jue met Gu Qingyan's eyes and saw the few people in Gu Qingyan's sight. He stepped forward and said in detail: "They were not on the trial list originally, but later they invited themselves to challenge the Mist Forest.

After they came back successfully, we decided to let them join the trial team and train with them, so they may look a little angry."

Each team in Shimen is managed by a ghost guard. Although Gu Qingyan will initially select the team for the trial, in order to select the true elites, he has never refused those who challenge him. As long as he passes the challenge

, you can let them go through the trial. This is how those few people entered this team. Except for the occasional unnatural moves, they are all normal. The people Shimen has always accepted are not necessarily beginners, some are monks halfway.

, to some extent retain some of my previous habits.

Gu Qingyan was thinking about it in her mind, and glanced at Beiming secretly. She was always thinking about what Beiming told her about Zhao Qiyue's arrival in No Return City that day. She looked at those people again, and then

He said: "Practice like this first, and observe more."

Xijue took the order and went down to the stands with Beiming again. After the practice, Gu Qingyan had something on her mind and couldn't watch until they dispersed. Gu Qingyan asked Beiming to take Yiyi to her room. After that,

Then he went back.

Beiming found Yiyi and took her to Gu Qingyan's place. When Yiyi stood in front of Gu Qingyan, she kept her head down and refused to speak. At this time, Gu Qingyan was half sitting on the soft couch, with her upper body pressed against the table.

, was adding the little scorpions sent by Xu Shaolin to her brocade box with ease.

After completing a set of actions, he waved his hand for Beiming to take down the brocade box. Then he sat upright, raised his hand and moved his palm to let Yi lean closer: "Why do you think I am half your savior, yet you are so nervous?

"

Gu Qingyan tried her best to make her tone not sound so cold. Yiyi slowly raised her head, followed Gu Qingyan's intention and took a step or two forward before stopping.

"Why do you want to enter Shimen?" Gu Qingyan asked.

This is the second time Yiyi has heard this question. Zong Yue just asked her not long ago: "I want to protect my father and younger brother."

"Then why don't you let your brother come? After all, boys are more suitable for protection." Sometimes Gu Qingyan feels that girls don't have to be so strong.

"My brother is still young, and I am my sister." Gu Qingyan could hear a bit of determination in Yiyi's childlike and innocent tone.

With a faint smile, Gu Qingyan didn't know how Yiyi stood in front of her brother in the small wooden house at that time, using her small body to protect her young brother as much as possible.

After walking down, Gu Qingyan's dress floated gently as she walked towards Yiyi step by step. Lifting Yiyi's chin, Gu Qingyan made Yiyi look at her.

Although those eyes were under the mask, Yiyi could see the coldness and consideration in them, as if they wanted to see through her. Yiyi couldn't help but want to retreat, and Gu Qingyan tightened her grip on her chin.

, making Yiyi unable to move in place.

Yiyi felt Gu Qingyan take a long breath, and heard Gu Qingyan's voice in her ears: "Such an obsession is so simple."

Released Yiyi's chin, Gu Qingyan turned her back. The sun was setting, and the ray of light spilled into the house through the window, and it happened to shine on Gu Qingyan's body. The shadow became a silhouette covering half of Yiyi's body.

.

Yiyi stood there, with shadows on one side and sunlight on the other, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Looking at Gu Qingyan's figure elongated by the sunlight, Yiyi murmured softly: "But I want to learn something, even if I can't learn it well, it's good if I don't drag my father and brother down."

Gu Qingyan pretended not to hear, and still turned her back, looking into the distance outside the window, and said to Beiming: "Take her out, she is not suitable for Shimen."

Yiyi's purpose here is very simple. As long as she is useful and can protect herself, then she can learn anything.
