Xu Zhen became excited as she spoke.

The meaning of her words was very clear, "beautiful female apprentices" and "reluctant to leave them", implying that Ning Shaoyang was greedy for their beauty, so he did not want them to enter the sect.

Ning Shaoyang was a little stunned and looked at her blankly without speaking.

After Xu Zhen got excited, she realized that she had just lost her composure. She lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Ning, I was a little excited just now."

He took a deep breath, then raised his head and said to Ning Shaoyang: "I still think my point of view is right. If it is for their own good, you should find a way to send them into the sect. This way,

It will not delay their future."

"I think for the sake of their future, it is more appropriate to keep them with me and train them well," Ning Shaoyang said.

"But you have to know that the sect does not allow the power of the secular world to challenge the authority of the sect, and does not allow casual cultivators to enter the realm of divine transformation. Monks who cannot even enter the realm of divine transformation cannot be considered to have a future," Xu Zhen said.

.

Ning Shaoyang said: "It's not possible now, and it may not be possible in the future. Who knows what the future will be like?"

"Senior Brother Ning, you are too stubborn." Xu Zhen sighed.

Ning Shaoyang smiled and said: "Do you believe that with my two disciples, under my training, I can make them surpass you in cultivation within a hundred years?"

Xu Zhen instinctively wanted to refute, but she swallowed it and said:

"Even so, so what? They can surpass me within a hundred years, but what about after a hundred years? What about after a thousand years? My foundation is indeed not as good as theirs, but I am in the sect. As long as I have such conditions, I can always

Continue to practice until you reach the peak of becoming a god. Where are they?"

"Let's talk about things that happen after a thousand years," Ning Shaoyang said. "I have been in the sect for more than twenty years. I know what the sect is like. I don't trust them to stay in the sect."

Xu Zhen stared at him angrily for a long time. She had no choice but to say: "Well, I can't persuade you. Anyway, he is your precious apprentice. If you think it's okay, it's okay. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

"Thank you for your concern," Ning Shaoyang said, "As for whether I will regret it later, no one can say for sure now."

He didn't want to quarrel with Xu Zhen, but it was impossible to just ask him to send the two apprentices he had worked so hard to train into the sect.

However, he could also understand that Xu Zhen did do it for his own good, but everyone had different views on the future, and he was not angry with Xu Zhen because of it.

Xu Zhen couldn't persuade Ning Shaoyang, and she didn't persist. It would have made the argument even worse, and it would be different from her original intention of coming here this time.

Avoiding this topic and not wanting to leave just like that, he and Ning Shaoyang talked about cultivation again.

She knew that her actual combat ability was very poor, but she had no idea of ​​competing with Ning Shaoyang. She just said to him provocatively:

"Senior Brother Ning, you are only in the middle stage of the Golden Core now, and you are not in line with my expectations for you. If you continue to waste time like this, I will catch up with you before long, and you have to work hard."

This was actually a conclusion to Ning Shaoyang that his two apprentices could catch up with her in the future.

She was still a little dissatisfied with this.

She even felt that as long as she practiced hard, she would one day be able to surpass Ning Shaoyang.

Ning Shaoyang smiled and said: "I hope there will be such a day."

Xu Zhen said: "Don't look down on me in your heart. With your current cultivation progress, it will be a matter of time before I catch up with you."

After discussing the matter of cultivation for more than an hour, Xu Zhen was still embarrassed to stay as it was getting late, so she finally chose to say goodbye:

"Senior Brother Ning, I still have a lot of taxes to collect from the city. I can't delay for too long. I can only say goodbye to you now. We will meet again later."

The two people have already been separated for a long time, and their relationship cannot be restored to its original state, but after chatting for such a long time, at least the relationship will not be as stiff and alienated as it was at the beginning.

Ning Shaoyang stood up and said goodbye: "I hope we can meet again in the future."

Xu Zhen felt inexplicably sad after listening to his words. She smiled and said, "The rest of my life is very long, and we will definitely meet again in the future."

But she knew in her heart that even if they were to meet in the future, she didn't know how long it would be.

Anyway, the two people will not meet again for a long time in the future.

This time she came here, it seemed more like she was settling a past incident.

If one day, when I think of this person, there won't be any ripples in my heart, then maybe we can meet again.

But by that time, I had no intention of meeting each other.

Ning Shaoyang sent her out of the city lord's mansion. Xu Zhen stood there and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's stop here, I have to leave."

"Take care along the way." Ning Shaoyang said.

"You should also take care." Xu Zhen said.

After thinking about it, he added: "Actually, you don't need to practice so hard in the future. When it's time to enjoy life, you still have to enjoy life well. There is no need to make yourself so tired."

What she meant was that Ning Shaoyang had no future anyway, so there was no need to continue working hard and he might as well spend his time enjoying life.

"Thank you, I will consider it." Ning Shaoyang said.

Seeing Xu Zhen about to leave, she suddenly added another sentence:

"There is something wrong with the exercises taught by your master. You should be more careful in the future. It is best not to practice the exercises taught by her."

He said this, of course, because of Ding Yiman's obsession.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said this.

"Don't worry about this," a smile appeared on Xu Zhen's lips, "I only learned some techniques from my master and did not practice the techniques taught by her."

Ning Shaoyang was stunned for a moment and said: "That's fine."

"Farewell."

Xu Zhen said to Ning Shaoyang again.

Before she finished speaking, a sword light rose from under her feet and carried her up to the sky.

It was a flying sword of the highest level of magic weapon. It was also a reward received by Xu Zhen, an outstanding disciple in a wealthy family. It was also her natal magic weapon.

The flying sword was like a rainbow, carrying Xu Zhen through the air and straight into the sky.

The flying speed is very fast.

Ning Shaoyang raised his head and watched the sword light flying over the white clouds and disappearing from his eyes.

He still kept his head raised.

Xu Zhen had disappeared from his eyes, but she was still within the coverage of his consciousness.

Watching the pretty girl walking away with her sword, many scenes of the two of them together flashed through my mind, and I suddenly felt infinite emotion.

The girl's appearance is still the same as before, but she will no longer touch him and call him "Senior Brother Shaoyang" or "Brother Shaoyang" in a coquettish voice.

Youth is a very beautiful thing, but unfortunately, this kind of beautiful thing can only be retained for a very short time.

Even if I can retain the appearance of my youth, my mentality is no longer the same as my youth.

Everyone is mature and worldly, and age has built a high wall between the two of them.

You can never go back to the past...

Just as he was thinking about it, under the cover of his spiritual consciousness, he saw Xu Zhen suddenly turned his head and glanced this way, pouted, and said bitterly: "Smelly man, I came all the way to see you.

He was so cold to me! I was so angry!"

At this time, Xu Zhen was already forty or fifty miles away from him.

This distance cannot be sensed by the spiritual consciousness of a monk in the golden elixir realm, and it is obviously not meant for Ning Shaoyang.

Ning Shaoyang had a look of astonishment on his face.

After a while, a faint smile appeared on his face.

It is really a blessing to be able to retain some of the youthful mentality of the past.

Unlike many people in the world of cultivation, beneath the youthful appearance is a vicissitudes of mind.

It wasn't until Xu Zhen flew out of the range of his spiritual consciousness with his sword that he returned to the city lord's mansion.

He also knew that after coming here once, Xu Zhen would probably not come again.

——In the next year, the person who came to collect taxes was indeed changed. He did not come to the City Lord's Mansion. He directly collected the taxes for that year at the General Affairs Mansion and left without meeting Ning Shaoyang.

In the following time, what Ning Shaoyang did the most was practice.

He learned the spells in "The Heavenly Book of Ten Thousand Demons" one after another, and mastered more and more methods of defeating enemies.

The three apprentices also worked hard in their cultivation.

Chen Tingting doesn't have much requirements for her own combat power. She basically spends her time practicing. The only techniques she learns are the four most basic summoning techniques. With such means, whether it's people from the Chen family coming over or Luo Luo.

Even if the family members come over, there is no way they can do anything to get her.

No matter how high her combat ability is, she doesn't need it anymore.

On the contrary, the state of cultivation is very important to her.

She didn't want to be like entering the foundation-building realm, almost pressing the line of life and death before entering. She hoped to have enough time to attack the golden elixir realm.

Now she spends more time on cultivation than Lu Qingluo and Jiaojiao.

After entering the foundation-building realm, she entered the middle stage of foundation-building within two years.
