"Maybe she likes me?" Lin Tao said casually.

Zhou Lingxiu thought he was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously. She sneered and said, "You don't look at yourself in a mirror."

That's it, but Zhou Lingxiu's words attracted Lin Tao's attention. Zhao Mingting was looking at her? Could she have any troubles? He was really worried that Zhao Mingting and Zhou Huo were sitting together, especially when they said something, he couldn't hear a word.

He was about to do something, but Zhao Mingting had already walked towards him, paused in front of him, and whispered: "Lin Tao, come out with me."

Everyone was stunned. Zhou Lingxiu grabbed Lin Tao and asked in a low voice: "She really knows you?"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "I've told you a long time ago. You don't believe me, you say I'm thick-skinned."

Lin Tao followed Zhao Mingting out of the door. Zhao Mingting told him the original words and asked: "Do you know what Zhou Huo means?"

Lin Tao thought for a while and except for using the name of the Zhengfa Sect to save face for the Zhou family, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

"I see this. Since you have agreed, don't think too much. Just be careful in everything in the future."

Zhao Mingting nodded: "That's all that's the case. Lin Tao, I've been tangled by various affairs these days, and I haven't said a few words to you in total. How are you doing this year?"

Lin Tao briefly talked about their experiences from Changshengtian to Linzhao Kingdom, and then to Cangyue City and Fu Bohai.

Speaking of Changshengtian, he remembered that he had caught some things while he was at the same time and said, "Close your eyes first."

Zhao Mingting looked at him in confusion: "What are you going to... do?"

That being said, she still closed her eyes obediently, with a little nervous expression.

Lin Tao grabbed her hand and felt a delicate and soft feeling. He took out the moonlight bracelet and carefully put it in.

"The size is just right, and this bracelet can't be the best fit for you."

Zhao Mingting stared at the bracelet for a while, and was stunned for a moment. After a long time of reaction, he whispered: "This bracelet... I like it very much."

"It's best if you like it. It's getting late. If we don't go back, we will talk about you, the sect leader behind our backs. You go back first, and I'll stay for a while."

After Zhao Mingting returned to the banquet, Lin Tao stayed alone for a while. Just as he was about to walk back, he heard footsteps behind him, his steps were very light, and he heard a girl's.

"What did you say to that Master Zhao?" Zhou Lingxiu suddenly appeared behind him, like a ghost.

Lin Tao was shocked by the sudden sound, "You scared me, I thought it was a ghost!"

Zhou Lingxiu snorted softly, stood side by side with him, and said as if nothing had happened: "I see that you and the Sect Master Zhao have been out for a long time, so I'll come out to see why you haven't come back for so long."

"You can't miss me if you can't see me soon?" Lin Tao asked with a smile.

"You're not narcissistic. Since you have nothing to do, I'll go back first. By the way, I'm going to tell you something." Zhou Lingxiu hesitated whether to speak.

"Tell me, except for this sentence I have liked you for a long time, I can say anything else."

Zhou Lingxiu glanced at him, ignored him, and continued, "Last time you talked about the Demon Sect, I said you were wrong, and I said a lot of bad things. I want to apologize..."

Lin Tao interrupted her: "No, you don't have to take it to your heart. I have heard all the more ugly words."

Zhou Lingxiu insisted: "No, I must apologize. The facts prove that you are right, and my father is right too."

Lin Tao touched her head and didn't care much about the action, but Zhou Lingxiu's face turned red in an instant, and she could barely hold back and didn't slap him.

"Okay," Lin Tao said: "I accept your apology, but you really don't have to care too much. You have to believe that the most I hear in my life are ugly words. To be honest, the words you said to me are pretty good."

Lin Tao giggled twice and turned back to the hall.

After the banquet that day, Lin Tao returned to the guest room alone and fell directly on the bed, feeling unprecedented relief.

He fell asleep in a daze, and didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he was woken up by a knock on the door.

He felt a dazed and thought it was Yang Cong knocking on the door and told him that the Demon Sect was searching him. After he was completely awake, he realized that the Demon Sect was no longer in Jincheng, and even Yang Cong and his brothers had lost the news.

Lin Tao opened the door and found that the door was empty, not to mention a figure, there was no ghost. Lin Tao thought to himself, who is not sleeping well in the middle of the night?

He was about to go back to the house and rest, but suddenly his eyes lit up and saw something on the ground, and there was a faint light in the darkness.

He picked up the jade and studied it carefully for a while. It was a very ordinary jade, which could be seen everywhere. There were no carved figures on it, only three words were engraved: The dragon is in the wild.

Long is in the wild, is this the name of the jade owner? Or, what are the special meanings of these three words? It seems that the only thing that can be provided to him is the word Long is in the wild.

Lin Tao thought hard, but in the end he had to give up. With these three words, he could not see anything.

The next day, he showed the jade to others. Chu Gongyu took the jade pendant and murmured: "The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is mysterious and yellow."

Lin Tao hurriedly asked, "Do you know what these three words mean?"

Chu Gongyu shook his head: "The sentence I just said is a word in ancient scriptures. It is just a symbolic statement, and it cannot explain what these three words mean."

Lin Tao thought about it, but in the end he had to give up. If this was really left by the mysterious man knocking on the door, he would definitely have some important information, at least he would probably act again and reveal more information.

They were discussing, and suddenly someone knocked on the door. Lin Tao quickly opened the door with a conditioned reflex and found that he was a young disciple of the Zhengfa Sect. He felt that this face was a little strange.

"Is it Mr. Lin Tao?" The disciple spoke in a very polite tone.

Lin Tao nodded, and the disciple said, "Our sect leader wants to invite Mr. Lin to the other courtyard in the afternoon to discuss something."

Lin Tao thought to himself, how could Zhao Mingting asks him to let his disciples pass the message? After thinking carefully, her current identity is different from the past and is in front of outsiders. Of course, she cannot just say it like the past.

"Please help tell Master Zhao, just say I will definitely go there in the afternoon."

The disciple agreed, and as soon as he left, Lin Tao heard Dong Wan'er ridicule him behind him: "Do you have anything to do with that Sect Master Zhao? I think she looks good, you are careful that you will be hooked away by someone."

Lin Tao refused to admit it: "What are you saying? She is the leader of the Zhengfa Sect. She must be asking me about the matter related to the Demon Sect. I will come back after I finish speaking."

Dong Wan'er hummed and said, "Yes, you went out for so long at the banquet last night. I'm still looking for you this afternoon. It must be discussing the affairs of the Demon Sect. Why didn't she look for us?"

Lin Tao was amused and crying: "Why did I smell the jealousy?"

Dong Wan'er knew what he meant, her face turned red and she stopped talking.

Lin Tao was afraid that she would have any misunderstandings and explained: "Actually, we two have known each other long ago. At that time, she was not the leader of the Zhengfa Sect. I went to see her this time to reminisce about the past. Don't think too much about it."

In the afternoon, Lin Tao came to find Zhao Mingting alone and found that she was alone, and changed into a lighter robe that was closer to her body.

"I told others not to disturb this afternoon, so we can calm down and practice. What state have you reached now? I remember the last time you left was in the distraction period."

Lin Tao felt a little embarrassed: "It's still the distraction period..."

He thought Zhao Mingting wanted to ridicule him, but she didn't say anything and pondered: "Your situation is normal. It's a big span from distraction to fusion. In one month, it will be a martial arts association. I plan to let you upgrade to the fusion state before the martial arts association."

Lin Tao didn't believe it very much: "Is it possible to reach the fusion state in one month?"

"It's entirely possible, but you have to ensure your daily practice time."

“How much time per day?”

Zhao Mingting smiled slightly: "Twelve hours."

Lin Tao heard this and cried out: "Then forget you kill me just now. In twelve hours, even a donkey will have to eat grass?"

Zhao Mingting's face turned cold and said, "In the past, when you and I were in another world, I didn't let you practice. You were all determined to improve your strength. Now I want to help you practice, but you are like this?"

Lin Tao quickly corrected his attitude and said, "I was just kidding me, and I promise from now on that I will practice with you for twelve hours a day and never sleep."

Zhao Mingting thought about it and said, "It's not that you don't let you sleep. You can rest for an hour every day... for half an hour."

"Then if I rest and have no place to sleep, I will build a floor in your room. Is it OK?"

Zhao Mingting glared at him: "You can try."

Lin Tao immediately didn't dare to speak.

"Come on, I haven't seen you for nearly a year. Let me see how you have made progress?"

Zhao Mingting said, signaling Lin Tao to take action. Lin Tao said he didn't dare to do anything, "You are a Mahayana monk, you can do something with me, and I will be killed instantly at any time?"

"I can show mercy." Zhao Mingting chuckled softly. Lin Tao felt that when he saw her again this time, he no longer seemed to be the woman with sad eyes in her eyes before, and her smile had even more.

"If you don't do it, I'll do it." Zhao Mingting stabbed with a sword. Although the sword was deliberately suppressed by her, Lin Tao still felt a strong pressure.

He used to fight with the fusion monks, and relying on combat experience and space spells, he could barely fight, but even when he faced Mahayana monks, he still had no ability to resist even if his opponents showed mercy.

He used the distance to escape behind Zhao Mingting and stabbed a sword directly. Normally, the cultivator in the fusion stage of this sword could not escape.

But the next moment, Lin Tao found that his sword stabbed into a afterimage. Zhao Mingting suddenly appeared behind him at some point and chuckled: "The speed of Mahayana monks is often faster than that of your eyes. Therefore, when fighting Mahayana, it depends not on the naked eye, but on the mind. This is what I want to teach you next."
