In the third level, nothing is tested, and only one person has the final say, that is Jian Jiuming, the current owner of Zhujian Villa.

At this time, Jian Jiuming was sitting at the end of the forest, looking at everyone who came out of the forest with piercing eyes.

If he said "yes", he can pass the third level directly, go directly to Jianjian Villa to rest, and wait for tomorrow's official competition; if he said "no", he will be eliminated directly and sent out Zhuang Wai; if he didn't say anything, he would have to go through the first two levels again from the beginning.

When Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang came out of the forest, Jian Jiuming's eyes lit up, and he said three "ke" words in succession, looking very excited.

"Two fairies, please follow us." One of the middle-aged men in gray shirts immediately stepped forward and said to Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang.

Qiao Xiaoqiao asked in doubt: "What do you mean, don't you need to pass the third level?"

"The two of you have already passed the third level." The man in gray shirt replied with a smile: "Next, the villain will assign you a room, and you two can rest for a while. Tomorrow morning will be the first step of the competition."

Qiao Xiaoqiao glanced at the man in the gray shirt, and asked casually, "I don't know what to call this gentleman?"

"I really can't bear the word sir." The gray-shirted man waved his hands, "The villain is just one of the nine stewards of the villa, his surname is Li, and he is the second eldest in the family. If the two fairies have orders, just call me Li Two will do."

Qiao Xiaoqiao said with a smile: "Then call you Brother Li."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The man in the gray shirt was obviously being modest, but in fact he was very happy in his heart, "The two fairies are really too polite, the villain will definitely arrange a good wing room for you, and I will definitely not let you suffer in the slightest." Wronged."

"Then thank you in advance." Qiao Xiaoqiao looked around and couldn't help asking: "How many people have passed the third level?"

Second brother Li hesitated for a second or two before answering the question: "Generally speaking, villains shouldn't reveal information about this. However, since the two fairies are asking, it's not good for villains to say nothing." , can only say that the two are exactly the 99th and 100th, "

"That's quite a coincidence." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled lightly, and asked again: "I don't know what the first step of the competition tomorrow will be. Can you say that?"

Second brother Li nodded: "This can be said, in fact, it is listening to the sword."

"Listen to the sword?" Gu Hanshuang asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Listening to the sword is listening to the sword." Brother Li smiled, and did not intend to continue, "You two will know tomorrow."

After a while, Second Brother Li brought the two of you to a rather elegant house, and said respectfully: "This is where the two fairies lived for the past three days, and there are two maidservants in the room for you. Anything can be conveyed to them.”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Li, for your hard work." Qiao Xiaoqiao expressed her gratitude with a smile on her face. This was a habit she had developed in the past. No matter who she was facing, as long as the other party helped her, she would casually thank her.

Second brother Li looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao quite unexpectedly. After all, Xianyun Continent is still a world that pays attention to status. It is indeed rare that people can treat people as easily and naturally as Qiao Xiaoqiao and the others.

The layout of the room is quite masculine. When you enter the door, you can see the beds, and there are two beds side by side. The furnishings are quite simple and rough.

But it's no wonder that Jianjian Villa is a place where men gather together. Although there are maidservants, the overall style is still dominated by straight men.

"The servants Jian Yan and Jian Chi have met the two masters." The only bright spots in the room were the two maids, who were quite beautiful and had a first-class figure. When they saw Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang, they gave a big gift.

Qiao Xiaoqiao stepped forward to help them up: "You don't need to be so polite, everyone just be natural, just order casually."

"Yes." The two maidservants were actually quite fortunate in their hearts. After all, they met two hostesses. If they were replaced by those rough and contemptuous men, maybe they would be used as excuses at night.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was used to being independent, and was really not used to being served by others, so she waved her hand and said, "There is nothing for you here for the time being, so you don't need to wait here."

"I'm afraid this won't work." The maidservant Jian Yan said hesitantly: "The owner has ordered that all maidservants must stay in the room and are not allowed to leave for half a step, otherwise they will be punished."

Gu Hanshuang said lightly: "I think they want them to monitor us."

"Slaves absolutely dare not." The two servants were frightened by Gu Hanshuang's casual words, and they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You don't need to do this, I just said it casually, without any malice." Gu Hanshuang was also taken aback, completely unexpected that their reaction would be so big, "I will apologize to you."

Qiao Xiaoqiao also probably understood what the owner meant by such an arrangement, but the two little girls in front of her were so pitiful that she couldn't get angry at them, so she had to communicate with Gu Hanshuang with lips.

"From the reactions of these two servants, there is something wrong with this villa." Qiao Xiaoqiao expressed her feelings.

Gu Hanshuang deeply agreed with this: "There are still many things that are wrong. In short, let's play by ear."

"I don't know how Wu Jiu is doing outside." Qiao Xiaoqiao was a little worried, "If that state pastor is a member of the Wanhuo Sect, he will be in danger."

Gu Hanshuang is not worried about this, she said: "Wu Jiu is the imperial guard, and his martial arts are not low. If something happens, at least escaping will definitely not be a problem."

"That's right." Qiao Xiaoqiao felt relieved, then turned to the two maidservants and said, "Can we go out and walk casually in the villa?"

The two maids looked at each other, and said hesitantly: "It should be possible, but don't go too far, there are many forbidden places in the villa, if you accidentally offend, it will be very troublesome."

Qiao Xiaoqiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a casual walk to see the scenery."

"Jian Chi, you follow the two masters." The servant Jian Yan pushed his companion, and said in a low voice: "If there is anything, you can take precautions."

"It's okay, you two can follow." Qiao Xiaoqiao saw their careful thinking, "We're not here to spy on any information."

...

The building complex inside Zhujian Villa is roughly similar to plum blossoms. The core is where the sword casting furnace is located, and the fire-veined divine sword is also on hold at this time, waiting for the opening three days later. The first floor of the palace where the pistil expands outwards is the residence of the core people in the villa, such as the owner's family, the swordsmith, etc.; further outside are the disciples of the villa, and further outside is the guest room.

Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang lived in the outermost petal, and when they walked out, they could see a rockery, a corridor, and a pond of fish.

"Fish, fish, eat quickly." On the corridor, there was a delicate girl sitting on the railing, throwing fish food into the pond.

"Who is this girl?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked the maidservant Jian Yan with some surprise. According to the information obtained by the coachman Wu Jiu, in Zhujian Villa, except for the maidservant who has a good temper, they should all be men. The girl in front of her was obviously not a servant in her attire, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"This, this..." Ai Ai, the servant girl Jian Yanqiqi, didn't say anything for a long time.

The servant girl Jian Chi said directly: "This cannot be said."

Qiao Xiaoqiao was even more curious: "Is there anything I can't say, is there any taboo about her identity?"

"She doesn't have any sword energy on her body, so she should be an ordinary person." Gu Hanshuang was also a little puzzled, "But it's strange that she often takes kendo pills."

"Could she be a stove?" Qiao Xiaoqiao had read several novels on cultivating immortals, and such a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.

"No, no, don't make wild guesses." The maid Jian Yan was startled, waved her hands repeatedly and said: "She is the owner's daughter, she is thirteen years old today, she was born weak, and had to take pills to hang herself. "

"Since she is the owner's daughter, what can't be said?" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help asking.

The servant girl Jian Chi sighed, but couldn't help but say: "Because in three days' time, Miss will sacrifice to that divine sword as a prize for opening the front."

"What did you say?" Qiao Xiaoqiao thought she had heard it wrong, so she couldn't help asking again: "What did you just say?"

The servant girl Jian Yan was so frightened that she quickly covered her companion's mouth, and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing, she didn't say anything."

"She said just now that the girl will be sacrificed in three days." Gu Hanshuang heard it clearly, and her eyebrows frowned involuntarily.

"Ah, who are you and why are you here?" The girl stood up in shock when she heard the voice, and looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao and the others with fear on her face.

Only then did Qiao Xiaoqiao see that the girl's hands and feet were locked with iron chains, and these iron chains were tightly embedded in the bones. Thinking about it, she felt that it would definitely be very painful.

"Miss Hui, these two are guests who came to participate in the sword test meeting." Maid Jian Yan hurriedly pulled her companion to kneel down, and replied: "They just came out for a casual walk, and they didn't intend to bump into Miss."

"Forget it, there is no collision." The Qingwan girl laughed and waved her hand: "I was just scared, and I didn't mean to blame you, get up."

"The two elder sisters are so beautiful, like gods." The Qingwan girl looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao's Gu Hanshuang with her clear eyes, "It would be great if I could be half as beautiful as you."

Qiao Xiaoqiao replied with a smile: "You are also very cute."

"Cute?" The Qingwan girl smiled and said nothing more.

"What are you doing here, why don't you just go back to your room and stay here!" At this moment, there was a loud shout from the side, and then a fat man rushed over, pointed at the girl and scolded: "You You bastard, do you want to run away?"

The Qingwan girl defended softly: "Third brother, I'm just too bored in the room, so I just came out to relax."

"Don't worry about it, you are an important sacrifice for whether the Fire Vein Excalibur can strike." The fat man was unhappy, "Even if your body is scratched a little, it may affect the Excalibur, you know ?"

"I see, I'll go back to my room now." The Qingwan girl didn't dare to refute, so she could only answer nonchalantly.

Qiao Xiaoqiao stepped over at this time, grabbed the Qingwan girl's wrist, and said lightly: "Don't go back, stay here, stay as long as you want."

"What are you! Go away! Otherwise, I'll chop you to death!" The fat man was furious, and he drew his sword and slashed at Qiao Xiaoqiao.
