The night was very deep, and the innumerable stars in the sky like the sand of the Eternal River had long since lost their radiance and retreated behind the curtain of night.

Following the disappearance of the stars in the sky, the crescent moon hanging in the sky seemed to have become even brighter without the contrast of the twinkling stars.

On a huge bluestone in front of the Old Monkey Mountain Qing Shui Pond, a youth of eleven or twelve years old sat cross-legged on a rock without moving, as if he were an old monk meditating, with his eyes tightly shut.

Including this old monkey mountain, the area within several hundred kilometers was the Mang Mountain Sword Sect's territory. Mang Mountain Sword Sect was filled with cultivators.

Thus, this youth was currently meditating in front of the Qing Shui Pond. Naturally, he was also a disciple of the Mang Mountain Sword Sect.

However, what was puzzling was that this youth was a disciple of the Mang Shan Sect. Why didn't he cultivate on the mountain during the day, but instead sneaked here to meditate in the dead of the night?

The youth's facial features weren't outstanding, and at most he could only be considered as a person.

However, her eyes were narrow and long. Even with her eyes closed, they were still much wider than when an ordinary person opened their eyes.

Sitting on the rock, the youth took a very long time to breathe. With each breath he took, he slowly exhaled through his nose. Every breath he took required the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

When he breathed in, it was so thin that it could not be heard. Only when he breathed out did two streams of thin yet visible white mist slowly shoot out from his nostrils.

The young man just sat there with his eyes closed, unmoving. An indescribable calmness and peace filled his little face ? It was as if he had been completely cut off from everything in the outside world!

At this moment, it was as if his originally ordinary looking facial features had gradually become vivid, causing others to look at him with a sense of comfort in their hearts.

Under the night sky, it was unknown how long this youth meditated here. He only sat there, looking at him as though he was one with the mountains and rivers, as well as the night.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound entered the youth's ears.

This was not the sound of leaves falling from branches in the wind, but the sound of people or some kind of animal approaching with extremely light footsteps.

Hearing the voice, the young man's eyebrows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

These were a pair of phoenix eyes. The narrow corners of his eyes were almost as long as Yun Xiao's eyebrows. However, although the young man's phoenix eyes were narrow, they weren't small at all. They didn't seem out of place on his face!

On the contrary, the originally unprominent facial features of his face seemed to become more harmonious and vivid due to his pair of eyes.

The voice came from the small path north of Qing Shui Pond, so after he stood up, he also narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the mountain path.

"Junior Brother Ding Ning, are you there?"

"Senior brother Chen, stop shouting, Ding Ning is not on the mountain, then he is definitely here!"

On the mountain path north of Qing Shui Pond, one question and one answer were heard from afar. When the youth heard these two familiar voices, he could not help but reveal a trace of a cheerful smile.

"Is it senior brother Chen, senior brother Feng?" The teenager laughed and asked loudly towards the mountain path north of Qing Shui Pond.

"Let's see!" "I knew it! That fellow isn't on the mountain, he must be here again!"

Two youths around his age appeared quickly at the corner of the mountain path north of Qing Shui Pond. One of them was a slightly fat little fatty who spoke complacently to a tall and slender youth next to him.

"With your ability!" You are so capable, when Chou Jiu and the rest were bullying Ding Ning, why didn't you help him! " The handsome youth glanced at the little fatty beside him and said in a bad mood.

After he finished speaking, he did not wait for the little fatty to speak and quickly walked towards Ding Ning: "Junior Brother Ding, are you alright?"

"No, nothing!" "Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen."

Ding Ning laughed as he shook his head, his gaze looking at the fat teenager who seemed to be embarrassed behind the handsome youth. He said: "Senior Brother Chen, since Senior Brother Feng didn't help me this time, you are mistaken in blaming Senior Brother Feng. When Senior Brother Feng rushed over, Chou Jiu and the others had already beaten me up.

He appeared in front of the Qing Shui Pond, among the two people who were looking for Ding Ning, one of them was Chen Su, the other was the slightly plump little fatty.

Ding Ning and the other two were all disciples of the Mang Shan Sect in the mountain.

Because the three of them had entered the Mang Shan Sect on the same day, their relationship was usually the best. Chen Su and Feng Ping were two of Ding Ning's best friends in the Mang Shan Sect.

"Junior Brother Ding, you don't need to defend him. I know he's timid!" Chen Su turned his head and stared at the awkward looking Feng Ping, then looked at Ding Ning and asked unhappily: "Junior Ding, this time Chou Jiu and the others ? And why are you looking for trouble with me? "

"It's over. It's over." Ding Ning laughed and stopped, then said: "Furthermore, Chou Jiu and the rest were able to hit me this time, and they were seen by the Law Enforcement Hall's Martial Uncle Lu, I believe they have been taken away by Martial Uncle Lu, and received their lesson."

"Junior Brother Ding, everything about you is good. It's just that your temper is too generous!" Do you know that it's because of you that they are bullying you without making a sound and never resisting, which is why they are bullying you more and more! "

Chen Su sighed helplessly, then raised his hand and patted Ding Ning's shoulders with force, and said with a resolute face: "Junior brother Ding, don't worry, this time I will definitely get justice for you, next month is the Mang Shan Sect's sword competition, when that time comes, I will definitely let Chou Jiu and the others see it!"

Ding Ning was startled, the next month would be the Sword Competition? Time passed really quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had already been on the mountain for almost three years.

Senior Brother Chen has already succeeded in Purification half a year ago, and has now reached the Small Circle of the Qi Accumulation Realm. Chou Jiu just succeeded in Purification three months ago, so in next month's sword competition, he will definitely not be Senior Brother Chen's match! "

At the side, when Feng Ping saw Ding Ning's dazed face, he thought Ding Ning was worried. At the sect's sword competition next month, Chen Su would lose to Chou Jiu, and he could not help but explain to Ding Ning excitedly.

When Ding Ning came to his senses, he looked at Chen Su. As expected, his entire temperament had changed greatly from half a year ago, and he couldn't help but clasp his hands towards Chen Su: "Congratulations Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Chen, you have already reached the Small Circle of the Qi Accumulation Realm. If that's the case, during this Mountain Gate Sword Competition, Senior Brother Chen will most likely be transferred to the internal portal s."
