Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 238 Inner Gate (New book has been released, please support!)
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xuan and Instructor Liu passed through another building.
However, when passing through this building, there were two more warriors who looked like guards.

Jiang Xuanzhi took a quick look and found that the two men were dressed differently from the two guards at the door.

In general, these two people were dressed more exquisitely and seemed to be a few years older than Xia Lin and the other two people at the door.

"Instructor Liu, what is this?" Jiang Xuan was really curious about the identities of these two people, so he asked Instructor Liu who was walking in front.

Instructor Liu, still keeping a distance from strangers, glanced back and said, "Those two are the inner sect guards."

Glancing at Jiang Xuan's expression again, who still looked puzzled, Instructor Liu continued, "Qizhou Martial Arts School also has inner and outer gates. These two are disciples of the school, responsible for guarding the inner gate. Without special reasons, ordinary outer disciples are not allowed to enter the inner gate."

Instructor Liu suddenly felt a little suspicious and stopped in his tracks, asking, "Why? Junior Brother Ling doesn't know this?"

At this moment, Jiang Xuan was still thinking about something and was not paying attention for a moment. Instructor Liu suddenly stopped, which caught Jiang Xuan off guard.
When Instructor Liu asked Jiang Xuan this, the distance between them was still very close, and he almost said this right in front of Jiang Xuan's face.

Instructor Liu had no idea that Jiang Xuan would not dodge at all, and for the sake of face he did not want to dodge in a hurry, which led to the scene just now.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's ears turned red and he didn't dare to look at Instructor Liu anymore.

What Jiang Xuan didn't know was that at this moment, Instructor Liu's cheeks also had a slight blush.

Jiang Xuan's current identity is Ling Honghe, a disciple sent away from Fuzhou. Not only is he a martial artist who has been to a martial arts school, but he is also a sent away disciple. It can be said that he is very familiar with every aspect of the martial arts school.

But a fake identity is not a real identity after all. Jiang Xuan, whose real identity is Jiang Xuan, has never been to a private martial arts school for a day, let alone an official martial arts school, in order to hide his identity. How can he know the inside and outside doors of any martial arts school?
"Master Liu, you're joking. I, Ling, naturally know all this, but the interior architecture of your martial arts school is very different from that of the Fuzhou martial arts school."

Jiang Xuan looked at the two disciples guarding the inner gate again and said in a fake tone, "Even the guard disciples are dressed very differently."

After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Instructor Liu put aside his doubts and continued walking deeper into the martial arts hall with a red face.

"The building just now is the dividing line between the inner gate and the outer gate. This place is already the inner gate." Instructor Liu said.

"I don't know how the Fuzhou martial arts school is arranged. The Qizhou martial arts school is only divided into inner and outer sects. Although there are core disciples, they are valued for their potential, not their strength."

"The inner and outer gates are not much different." Jiang Xuan said guiltily.

As they were talking, the two of them passed through another building.

Similar to the previous building, there is only one person in this building, so he can't be called a guard. Moreover, that person is a middle-aged man, obviously not a disciple of the martial arts school.

"Instructor Liu." The middle-aged man greeted Instructor Liu with a relaxed look.

"Instructor Wang." Instructor Liu also greeted Instructor Wang with a smile.

When Instructor Wang saw Jiang Xuan walking behind Instructor Liu, he did not ask any questions but just nodded slightly to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan also smiled and nodded to Instructor Wang.

"The one just now was Instructor Wang. Although he doesn't act arrogantly, he is one of the strongest instructors in the martial arts school." Instructor Liu said.

Jiang Xuan now had a general understanding of Instructor Wang. Since the arrogant Instructor Liu praised him so highly, he was afraid that Instructor Wang's strength must be quite good indeed.

However, Jiang Xuan only took a quick look at Instructor Wang and did not see clearly what kind of weapons Instructor Wang was carrying, so he had no way of judging what weapons Instructor Wang usually used.

"This place also belongs to the inner sect, but it is the place where the core disciples of the academy practice. Yan Zhen's place of practice is here. Follow me." Instructor Liu said to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan looked around and saw that this place was smaller than the previous places for training, but the buildings seemed more exquisite.

On either side of the central axis, dozens of courtyards were scattered in an orderly fashion. Apparently, each core disciple had one. Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "The cultivation environment here is so much better than the previous ones."

While thinking, Jiang Xuan followed Instructor Liu to an exquisite courtyard.

Jiang Xuan and Instructor Liu entered the exquisite courtyard.

Jiang Xuan was about to speak when he saw a young man in a green robe looking at him.

"Instructor Liu."

Yan Zhen discovered that the person coming was Instructor Liu, so he quickly called out to him.

But immediately, Yan Zhen discovered the person standing beside her.

As soon as Yan Zhen identified the person standing next to Instructor Liu, he called him, "Senior Brother Ling."

When she found out that Ling Honghe, whom she brought with her, really knew Yan Zhen, she felt relieved.

Even though she was in such a restless mood at the moment, she still needed to be responsible for her disciples and the disciples of Qizhou Martial Arts School.

"Since you two know each other, and Guard Ling has official business to attend to, I won't bother you any further."

After saying that, Instructor Liu was about to go out.

"Why did Instructor Liu suddenly call me Ling Qinwei again? Is it because of official business? Also, why did Instructor Liu leave in such a hurry?"

Jiang Xuan thought so in his heart, but he still couldn't come up with a definite answer.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, perhaps Instructor Liu was a person who attached great importance to time, so he wanted to quickly make room for him and Yan Zhen so that they could get down to business first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan felt that Instructor Liu was very sensible. Knowing that they were not looking for her, he quickly left without disturbing the two of them.

In this way, he didn't have to think about why Instructor Liu did this anymore.

Jiang Xuan only knew that now that Instructor Liu was out, he had a private space to talk with Yan Zhen, and he could be more casual without having to worry about Instructor Liu.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to Yan Zhen.

Jiang Xuan finally figured it out. Just when he decided to speak, he saw a hint of surprise on Yan Zhen's face, but Yan Zhen spoke first.

"Brother Ling, please take a seat first."

Jiang Xuan was led by Yan Zhen to an irregular stone bench and sat down.

Afterwards, Yan Zhen also sat down on one side of the stone bench.

"Just now, I heard Instructor Liu call Senior Brother Ling's personal guard. I wonder which city lord's mansion Senior Brother Ling has chosen to serve as a personal guard?"

Jiang Xuan didn't expect Yan Zhen to be so direct. He replied, "It was Yingzhou. After parting with Junior Brother Yan that day, I went to the City Lord's Mansion in Yingzhou. I passed the assessment there and stayed in Yingzhou as a personal guard."

Hearing this, Yan Zhen nodded, and from his expression, it seemed that he was not very interested.
