The cold light pierced through the air.

Although the Saber Qi was wild, it was not chaotic in the slightest. Every slash seemed to have grasped the perfect scale, like continuous waves, one after another, gradually forming an overwhelming momentum.

The wind swept the sand. Under Xie Heng's intentional control, it swept past the middle-aged man's temples and cut off a small piece of hair on his forehead.

"I'm sorry." Amidst the raging saber energy, the young man grinned with difficulty and smiled. "My cultivation is not enough to completely control this saber technique. I'm sorry."

Xie Heng said that it was "difficult to control", but his wrist continued to exert force. Every slash was faster than the previous one. The stacked speed brought about an incomparable advantage. The examiner's cold expression gradually became serious. Even the examiner with the cat mask stopped his sloppy posture and stood straight. For the first time, there was surprise in his tone.

In addition to being surprised, there was also a hint of admiration in his tone. He sighed softly and said, "I didn't expect to see such an exquisite saber technique here."

"Hey, Xiao Bai, is this the saber that was taken away by that person back then …"

Before he could finish, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the man in black with the white mask.

"No," he said coldly. "You don't have to use it anymore. You pass."

Xie Heng's lips curled up slightly, and his saber gradually slowed down.

Like a swallow landing on the eaves, he took a few steps back and steadied himself. His breathing was slightly rapid. With a wave of his hand, the long saber in his hand disappeared.

"Is it enough?" the young man raised his head slightly and asked loudly.

"It's enough," the examiner with the cat mask replied with a smile.

His curious gaze circled Xie Heng back and forth. Then, he looked over Xie Heng's shoulder and glanced at Xu Waner, who was not far away with her hands crossed in front of her chest and secretly praying. His lips were slightly open, as if he wanted to say something.

However, the man with the white mask did not stay to chat.

The young man sheathed his saber and turned around coldly. Xuan Li gathered under his feet and he quickly walked out of the courtyard.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Seeing that the examiner was about to leave, Xu Waner was a little anxious. The girl trotted forward, but was forced back by the cold air around the examiner. She didn't dare to get too close and stopped two or three meters away.

She tucked her hair, which had been messed up by the wind, behind her back. She anxiously fumbled in her wide sleeves for a moment before taking out a dark-colored token.

"I have a certificate of exemption from the Xuanling Sect!"

The girl shouted at the back of the young examiner, "I want to give this to Big Brother Xie. With this, he can join the Xuanling Sect without taking the exam, right?"

The white-masked young man suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He stood where he was without turning his head, but his back stiffened for an instant, as if he had encountered something he was extremely unwilling to face.

"Pu!"

A few steps behind, the young man wearing the cat mask could not help but smile. He covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

"Xiao Bai, oh Xiao Bai, no matter how much you planned, you didn't expect him to bring it up in the end, right?"

"I told you that your mask is useless. What will come will come. You can't avoid it.

But you still want me to wear this ugly soapy dress. It's so ugly. "

While laughing, he raised his hand to take off the cat mask on his face and patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him with his other hand. However, he failed and was slapped away by the white-masked young man.

The mask was removed, revealing a handsome face. The bridge of his nose was high, and his eyes were as bright as stars. He had a look of disdain for everything in the world. There was a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth. There was a mole at the corner of his eye that was sexy and passionate, but his lips were as thin as a blade.

"Little sister over there, come here.

I have received your request. Don't pay attention to the guy next to you. The Xuanling Sect welcomes you. "

The mask spun around the young man's fingertips, shaking off the sunlight on the ground.

After a few steps, the arrogant young man finally turned around. The cold air around him did not decrease at all, but he quickly stepped forward and blocked the young man who called himself "Senior Brother."

Under Xu Waner's confused gaze, the young man Yingbai touched the mask with his fingertips, paused for a moment, and then slowly took it off.

A handsome face that was 60% to 70% similar to Xu Waner's was revealed. He was tall, Xiuya, fresh, and handsome.

However, his face was expressionless and cold.

Zhou Rendeng, who was watching from the side, gasped. Xu Waner also widened her eyes in shock. For a moment, she was at a loss and stammered, "You, you …"

The charming man in black next to them looked like he was enjoying the show. He took the opportunity to point at the cold young man and said, "He is Cheng Shengbai, your mother's brother and your uncle."

Xie Heng: "… Oh?"

Xu Waner: "… F * ck."

Looking at her little uncle who was descending from the sky, Xu Wan 'er's mind was in a mess. She had never seen her mother since she was born. She had never thought that in her lifetime, she would see her mother's relatives under such circumstances!

The word "relatives" crashed into the girl's mind like a hot knife through butter, splitting the chaotic and noisy thoughts. It was bright and dazzling in front of her eyes.

Xu Waner couldn't help but feel the tip of her nose and the rim of her eyes quietly turned red.

She slightly raised her head. Her beautiful watery eyes were full of expectation. She stared at Cheng Shengbai without blinking, waiting for him to give a clear answer.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Shengbai opened his mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "… I am."

"Yes, he is."

The young man who was watching the show looked excited. He gestured to Xu Waner behind Cheng Shengbai's back. "That's the expression. Your uncle can't stand it. Come on, girl, cry as hard as you can. Don't stop …"

Cheng Shengbai suddenly turned around, and the scabbard flew into the air and struck fiercely!

However, the young man nimbly dodged it.

Xie Heng watched thoughtfully.

The pressure that the cat young man gave him was far less than that of the young man named Cheng Shengbai next to him. However, at this moment, the cat young man's movements were as fast as lightning and as graceful as a swan. It was really extraordinary.

This Xuanling Sect … What kind of place was it?

It was definitely not a weak sect like he had imagined. Just based on the cultivation level displayed by the two young men in front of him, the Xuanling Sect was qualified to leave its name in the world.

But why had he never heard of it before?

"I don't like your father."

In the field, Cheng Shengbai was still cold and expressionless.

Xu Waner was stunned again.

"Hey!"

The young man jumped back to Cheng Shengbai's side and said unhappily, "It's time for the family to reunite. Why are you talking about those annoying things?

Xiao Bai, look, your niece looks so much like Senior Sister. Why aren't you hugging her? "

Cheng Shengbai: "…"

The cold-faced young man frowned. He was dragged unwillingly to Xu Waner.

Xie Heng watched from the side and had a faint guess in his heart.

A beautiful girl with outstanding talent fell in love with an ordinary man. She didn't hesitate to abandon her brother and eloped with him, never to return … Later, her brother finally found traces of her sister, only to find that she had already passed away, leaving behind only a girl who was taken by a man to live a hard life.

Her brother probably hated that he couldn't see his sister for the last time, right?

Perhaps it was because of this that he hated the child she gave birth to with that man.

But the affection of blood was still thicker than water.

Once again, he saw a face that was extremely similar to the person in his memory, and saw that the girl was alone and helpless. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, the moment he took off the mask, all that was left was the closeness that surged through his bloodline.

Xie Heng imagined a period drama in his mind. He rubbed his nose and was almost moved by this poignant story.

He was somewhat gratified and also somewhat envious. From afar, he looked at Xu Waner lowering her head and wiping her tears. Although Cheng Shengbai's face was full of reluctance and his movements were stiff, he still reached out and hugged the girl who was choking with sobs.

Xie Heng leaned against the cold wooden stake and slightly raised his head. His eyes were dazzled by the bright sunshine pouring down.

The young man raised his hand to block his eyes. The warm sunlight fell on his jet-black hair. He closed his eyes slightly and thought, I'm also an orphan. I've never seen my mother.

In this world, is there also a "little uncle" who is related to me by blood? Is he in some unknown corner, missing my mother and looking forward to the day they can meet again?

Not far away, Cheng Shengbai was holding Xu Waner.

Because of the angle, in Xie Heng's eyes, they were hugging each other warmly. In fact, the distance between them was enough to fit two Xie Heng.

Cheng Shengbai's eyes were impatient, but when he was close enough, he could vaguely see a touch of helplessness in the depths of his cold eyes. His white cheeks were unnaturally red. The hand that patted Xu Waner's shoulder trembled involuntarily. After a long pause, he patted again.

All of this fell into the eyes of the other black-clothed young man. He was secretly happy and complacent, as if his evil plan had succeeded. He took the token from Xu Waner's hand.

A fluorescent light emerged from the young man's fingertips, like a warm firefly, and poured into the token.

As he poured more and more profound qi into the token, it gradually emitted a bright light. The jet-black color on its surface faded away like water and melted like ink. In the end, the entire token turned into a crystal clear appearance. The original handwriting and symbols were also washed away, revealing its true appearance.

It was a small sword, no more than the length of a thumb, but it faintly emitted a sharp aura. Looking at it from afar, it could stab the eyes.

Xie Heng's heart suddenly trembled.

He stood up abruptly and knocked over the training stake in his haste. The round stake fell down with a thud and hit the back of his foot. The youth didn't care about it at all. He limped and jumped all the way, rushing forward.

"This symbol," Xie Heng breathed quickly and said anxiously, "is this the symbol of your Xuanling Sect?"

"Yes."

The young man nodded.

"Why? Have you seen it before?"

He asked casually, then immediately smiled noncommittally. "We have been in seclusion for a long time. This time, we came out and robbed other people's right to audit. You must have seen it wrong."

"I can't have seen it wrong."

Xie Heng took a deep breath and barely suppressed his jumping emotions. However, his rapid heartbeat and surging blood couldn't stop. They were still surging back and forth in his body, buzzing in his ears.

"My mother left me a jade pendant. It has this pattern on it. I can't remember it wrong."

The young man pointed at the small sword and said each word clearly.

The young man in black was stunned. He was stunned for a moment. He still didn't believe it and said suspiciously, "Boy, you can't have taken a fancy to our new Junior Sister and want to find an excuse to sneak into the sect, right?"

"This kind of improper request — you can just say it directly. I will definitely agree!

But then again, I can't guarantee that Xiao Bai won't poison you halfway. "

He elbowed Cheng Shengbai next to him and said softly, "Hey, Xiao Bai, will you?"

Xie Heng: "…"

Cheng Shengbai was obviously more reliable than the jumpy young man.

He narrowed his eyes and sized up Xie Heng for a few seconds. He said in a low voice, "He looks … a little like him."

The young man in black's expression froze.

His surprised gaze fell on Xie Heng's cheeks and swept over the young man's handsome face inch by inch. He paused on his bright eyes and handsome nose for a moment. Then, he leaned to the side and whispered, "A little, but also a little different."

Cheng Shengbai said indifferently, "If you say they don't look alike, then don't bring him."

"Don't, don't!"

With a bitter face, the black-clothed young man looked at Xie Heng helplessly and muttered, "I can't guarantee anything. That man is going crazy looking for a wife … If he learns that we found someone who seems to be his son but didn't bring him back for testing, he might rush down from Vast Mist Peak and chop us into pieces."
