The inner sect was located on the upper peak island of the outer sect, and a sword was needed to get there.
The outer sect door disciples were mostly Qi training and Foundation Building in cultivation, not to mention riding the sword, it was also extremely difficult to let the spiritual sword fly up.
So, for them, the inner sect was the floating island at the summit. They could see but couldn’t touch.
“You two come with me.” Lan Jin said, “I will send you to Jing Xin Peak.”
Jing Xin Peak was the residence of Elder Jing Xin.
Unlike the outer sect, the inner sect disciples had different masters, and their permanent residences on the islands were also different. They would only go to the main peak for sect activities or at the command of their master.
This was the first time Shen Xingcong had seen Xiao Lin since that day, and he always felt a little awkward. After greeting him, he stopped speaking.
Xiao Lin was, as usual, with a calm expression.
Lan Jin completely didn’t pay attention to the gap between the two of them. He called for his long sword and made the two of them stand behind him.
Shen Xingcong paused and said to Xiao Lin: “Junior brother, you stand in the middle, so that you don’t fall down later.”
Xiao Lin: “Thank you, senior brother, for your concern.”
Lan Jin saw it in his eyes: “You two fellow apprentices really have a good relationship.”
Shen Xingcong was solemn: “It’s only right for the senior brother to take care of his junior brother.”
He was just purely worried that Xiao Lin would give himself a “backstab” when he stood behind him.
After standing on the sword, Xiao Lin was a head shorter than Shen Xingcong.
Shen Xingcong looked ahead, hesitating whether to take his shoulder.
Before he could make a move, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
Shen Xingcong was startled and subconsciously hugged the waist of the person in front of him.
Xiao Lin: “…”
The long sword soared up, and the scenery swept back and blurred into a thin piece.
Almost instantly, they arrived at their destination.

Lan Jin still has something to do after that. After telling the two of them about their inner sect residence, he left with his sword.
Shen Xingcong watched him leave.
These days, he has been eating and living with Lan Jin. Suddenly they parted, he was still a little unaccustomed.
“Does senior brother hate to part?”
Xiao Lin’s voice came from beside him.
Shen Xingcong: “…after all, I am being taken care of by Teacher.”
“But senior brother.”
Xiao Lin said softly, “Now you and I should be the most ‘intimate’ relationship.”
As soon as he heard this, Shen Xingcong was afraid, so he evaded and said: “Let’s go, do not let Elder wait worriedly.”
After officially entering the inner sect, even the uniform has changed. It was no longer the formerly rustic clothes. The inner sect disciple’s clothing was obviously much more refined and expensive.
It has an ink blue collar and green silk fluttering sleeves. When facing against the wind, there was quite an otherworldly expert’s demeanor.
Elder Jing Xin was waiting for the two of them in the main room. After paying respect to the master, they will be considered to have formally moved into the Jing Xin Peak.
After the process was completed, Jing Xin took the tea presented by the two of them and took a sip.
“You two have three senior brothers and sisters above you. If they are not here today, I will introduce them to you later.”
“Yes.”
“In addition, about the residence. Jing Xin Peak is very vast, so as long as there is an empty house or cave, you two are free to choose. This place is surrounded by spiritual qi, there is not much difference.”
Elder Jing Xin paused, “I remember you two lived in the same place when you were in the outer sect. If you are not used to being separated, pick a larger cave…”
“No.”
Shen Xingcong hurriedly interrupted. Realizing he was a little reckless, he cupped his hand and said, “Thank you for your concern, Master. But in order not to disturb junior brother’s cultivation, it is better to have some distance.”
Xiao Lin glanced at him and didn’t say anything.
After this, it was about cultivating all kinds of things. After Shen Xingcong and Xiao Lin settle down today, they will officially start cultivating tomorrow.
Elder Jing Xin took his leave. Shen Xingcong let out a soft breath as he closed the door and left.
Although Elder Jing Xin was amiable. But perhaps because of his appearance, he always felt that he was highly respected, making people dare not relax in the slightest.
Now that he was out of the door, he slightly relaxed his nerves.
“There is still some time left.”
He said to Xiao Lin, “The two of us will each go and find a place to stay. Take a good stroll and find a place with good mountains and water.”
He left after dropping this sentence, but he didn’t expect Xiao Lin to follow him.
The faster he walked, the tighter Xiao Lin followed.
Shen Xingcong had no choice but to stop again: “What else do you have to say?”
Xiao Lin said lightly: “If it is too far away, it may be inconvenient to trade in the future.”
This refers to the matter of blood exchange.
“There is no inconvenience.” Shen Xingcong said, “I’m fast, I’ll just go find you when the time comes.”
He suddenly thought of something: “You, are you afraid that I will back out? Don’t worry, if I wanted to deceive you, there would be no need to make that kind of contract with you.”
Xiao Lin looked at him for a moment and suddenly smiled: “It’s good that senior brother knows.”
Shen Xingcong felt that it was probably because he had learned too much from his previous experience that he had attracted the other person’s suspicion.
He patted his shoulder: “Just trust me this time. This is also for your sake, you don’t want to see a nuisance when you open your eyes like before.”
This was an exaggeration.
Even now, he still didn’t think Xiao Lin would “hate” him.
Of course, he wouldn’t “like” him even more.
At most now, he thought that he was profitable, so he needed to be bound to his side.
However, as far as Shen Xingcong was concerned, because he was forced by Xiao Lin that day, he always felt a little bit of fear in his heart.
The life and death contract was his means of restraining Xiao Lin and, at the same time, restraining himself.
Even if it was just a comfort in his heart.
As much as possible, he didn’t want to see Xiao Lin.
.
The days passed peacefully.
Cultivation was boring. Although Elder Jing Xin did his best to teach, Shen Xingcong’s cultivation base has passed the Unification stage, and has become a demon cultivator. It was useless for him to meditate and practice. Often, he would fall asleep while sitting.
On the contrary, Xiao Lin, due to the restoration of his spiritual roots, his stagnant realm has finally changed. In just one year, he broke through from the first stage of Qi training to Foundation Building.
Shen Xingcong wasn’t good either to have no change at all. So, he disguised himself externally as a late-stage Foundation Building. Such illusions couldn’t be seen through unless one’s cultivation level was higher than his.
There were only a few disciples under Elder Jing Xin. Together with them, there were only five. The other three disciples were quite a bit older than the two of them, and their temperament was the same as Elder Jing Xin’s, and none of them were fond of the mundane world.
But they were very nice. Sometimes, when Elder Jing Xin wasn’t there, they would take the initiative to guide.
Shen Xingcong got his cultivation base out of thin air, and his theoretical foundation wasn’t solid. He was dizzy listening to those Daoist teachings. Often, he would find an excuse to slip away after hearing half of it.
Senior Sister Yun Xiu, the chief disciple of Jing Xin, was disappointed that iron doesn’t turn into steel: “It’s difficult to enter the inner sect, but you didn’t even cherish this opportunity. What a loss of talent!”
Xiao Lin: “Senior brother hasn’t rested for several days, he should be tired.”
“Junior brother Xiao Lin, I know that you and Xingcong entered together and have a deep affection. But there’s no need to help him make it up all day long.” Yun Xiu shook her head, “Since he doesn’t need to work and has no assignments on him, why wouldn’t he rest. I’m not afraid that he went to have fun!”
Xiao Lin: “Senior brother…may have his own thoughts.”
Yun Xiu looked at Xiao Lin with even more compassion in her eyes.
Now that Xiao Lin was almost fourteen, he was a bit taller than when he first arrived. Nowadays, he doesn’t look like a girl. It’s just that his face still possesses the innocence of a child.
Yun Xiu sighed: “It would be great if Xingong could be as thoughtful as you.”
Xiao Lin: “Thoughtful…”
Yun Xiu: “Why?”
“Nothing.” Xiao Lin shook his head, “It’s just that no one has ever said that about me.”
Yun Xiu had heard about Xiao Lin’s past. The whole family was slaughtered by demon cultivators, and he himself nearly lost his life to the Yellow Springs. Fortunately, he was saved by Elder Jing Xin.
Now, listening to the other side’s words, she thought that he must have originally stayed at home and wasn’t favored.
Obviously, he was such a good child.
Yun Xiu felt even more affectionate in her heart and touched Xiao Lin’s head: “Since I am your senior sister, you can tell me what you need in the future. I will try my best to do it.”
The woman’s palm was soft and not as wide as a man’s.
Feeling the temperature above his head. Xiao Lin lowered his eyes, hiding the dark light in his eyes: “…Thank you senior sister.”
New place!
