Chapter 132, Princess Yuhua
The dinner party that night was held as usual. The royal family members of Tianlong Continent were absent as usual, but the contestants who liked the excitement came as usual.
As everyone became more familiar with each other and most of them had no competition tasks, the atmosphere became more lively that night. Not only did the male players drink and brag more happily, but the female players also took the initiative to communicate with the boys.
Sheng Yinghua was the first to walk up to Qingshi and chat with him, which made Qingshi a little proud. Sheng Yingxiong seemed to be very interested in Duan Xiaoyu and took the initiative to talk to her.
Qingshi looked at Sheng Yinghua who was dressed in white and snow, but the shadow of a goddess in snow suddenly flashed in his mind, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But Sheng Yinghua gave him a feeling of déjà vu. He didn't understand why he had this feeling, and he couldn't help but feel a little unclear when answering.
Suddenly he heard a burst of giggles like silver bells. Qingshi looked up and saw Duan Xiaoyu laughing so hard. Qingshi watched her chatting happily with Sheng Yingxiong and couldn't help but look for Zheng Fangyi out of the corner of his eye. He saw Zheng Fangyi standing there. Talking absentmindedly to Gu Feiyang and others, looking at Duan Xiaoyu from time to time, Qingshi couldn't help but think to himself: The two victorious heroes, Zheng Fangyi, really look alike.
Sheng Yinghua asked: "Qingshi, are you really all-inclusive of the five elements of Qi? I heard that the monks in your mainland are unwilling to disclose their types of Qi and martial arts. Why is this?"
"Well!" Qingshi was a little surprised as to why Sheng Yinghua asked like this, and said, "Our mainland has always been like this, isn't your mainland like this?"
"Of course not!" Sheng Yinghua said, "The monks in our mainland are willing to let others know how talented they are and how strong their ability is to realize their talents. Only in this way can they attract the attention of major families and sects, and can they get better opportunities. and resources.”
"It seems to be the same in our continent," Qingshi said thoughtfully, "but it's very contradictory. On the one hand, you have to show your talents, and on the other hand, you have to hide your talents." Qingshi knew that the situation in Tianlong Continent was like this, but he never took it seriously. Thought about why this is so.
"The purpose of displaying one's talents is to win the favor of all forces," Sheng Yinghua frowned, "Then what is the purpose of hiding one's talents?"
"It's to protect yourself." Qingshi has already figured out this truth, but he has never discussed it with anyone.
"Protect yourself?" Sheng Yinghua asked curiously, "Why? Is it possible that someone with too much talent will be in danger?"
"Yes," Qingshi said, "It is easy for people to be jealous if their talents are too high, especially monks who have high talents but have not yet matured. They will be regarded as threats by hostile forces and thus be assassinated."
"Conspiracy!" Sheng Yinghua exclaimed, "Who would do this?"
"As far as I know, there are quite a few forces that do this," Qingshi said lightly, "The one that has done the most is the Royal Family of the Tianlong Empire. Maybe there is a reason why it works!"
"Ah!" Sheng Yinghua said in shock, "Aren't they afraid of being ridiculed and retribution from heaven?"
"Retribution from heaven?" Qingshi asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Sheng Yinghua said, "In the Sky Eagle Continent, if someone dares to do this, he will be looked down upon by everyone. Even if he doesn't care about his honor, he will also receive retribution and be punished by heaven. .”
"It is certain to be looked down upon by others," Qingshi said, "This is the same in our Tianlong Continent, so they all use assassination methods. As for the retribution of heaven, there is also such a saying, but the so-called retribution of heaven is just an illusory thing after all. , who can tell whether this will really be the case!”
"How could it be?" Sheng Yinghua said, "Our Sky Eagle Continent has many such historical records, and it is not limited to this kind of thing. As long as you do something unjust, you will definitely get retribution and punishment. There is no doubt about it. There are still examples like this from time to time.”
"Actually, even if there is no punishment from heaven, it is not a wise move to assassinate a talented junior from a hostile force! If you do this, others can do the same to your junior if you are despised by others! Is this the truth? Isn’t it very simple and clear?”
"Yes!" Qingshi sighed, "If you are strong, I will work hard to become stronger than you. This is the true meaning of practicing martial arts! However, there are always people who want to do those things that are contemptible. They are improving At the same time, he also thinks about how to restrict others and does everything possible to prevent others from becoming stronger. He controls cultivation resources, monopolizes martial arts and martial arts, and even engages in assassinations to get rid of those geniuses who may pose a threat to himself."
"Is this really the case with the Tianlong Empire royal family?" Sheng Yinghua asked.
"It's absolutely true!" Qingshi said seriously.
"Well!" Sheng Yinghua said, "Actually, we have heard something, but it's hard for us to believe it. Is the way of heaven in Tianlong Continent different from that in Tianying Continent? Do you just let such unjust acts go unnoticed and remain indifferent?"
"Maybe!" Qingshi suddenly thought of Ge Wu, and had some guesses in his mind. He vaguely understood something, but he couldn't be sure and couldn't explain clearly, so he could only say this vaguely.
"My brother does have all five elements of Qi," Sheng Yinghua changed the topic, "If you are the same, then you can communicate with each other."
"Maybe it's not communication," Qingshi said with a smile, "but fighting!"
"That's right!" Sheng Yinghua also laughed, "I can't beat my brother no matter what, so he will naturally be the one to enter the final. What about you? Are you sure you can beat Jiang Chenliang?"
"Not sure!" Qingshi said, "But I am confident!"
"Yeah! I believe you!" Sheng Yinghua said, "But Jiang Chenliang's thunder martial arts are very powerful, so you have to be careful!"
"Do you know Jiang Chenliang?" Qingshi was very happy that Sheng Yinghua cared about him, but he was more interested in Sheng Yinghua saying that Jiang Chenliang was very powerful. Everyone knows that Jiang Chenliang is powerful, but Sheng Yinghua's words don't seem to be just general remarks.
"Yes! I know a little bit about it." Sheng Yinghua said, "One of my senior brothers came to Tianlong Continent for training two years ago. He fought against Jiang Chenliang and was defeated by Jiang Chenliang. This time we came here, and he came to see me specifically. My brother warned me for a long time and talked a lot about Jiang Chenliang’s situation. In his opinion, my brother may not be able to defeat Jiang Chenliang.”
"I heard that the royal family of Tianlong Continent has a monopoly on thunder-based martial arts and martial arts, so I thought you might not know how to deal with thunder-based martial arts. My brother prepared a hibiscus wooden round shield, and his sword was also tempered A layer of chalcedony and marble wax mixture."
Sheng Yinghua said so much, and his purpose was to tell Qingshi that hibiscus wood and chalcedony cloud paraffin can isolate thunder and lightning, and can be used to deal with Jiang Chenliang's thunder martial arts.
Qingshi himself was fully equipped with wind and thunder energy, so he didn't need these external objects to resist thunder and lightning, but he naturally didn't tell the truth.
Sheng Yinghua was so enthusiastic about helping him. Although Qingshi didn't need it, he couldn't help feeling warm and immediately thanked Sheng Yinghua sincerely.
Afterwards, the two of them talked about the customs, geography and culture of the continent, etc. As the conversation deepened, their words and expressions began to become warm and affectionate.
Later, Victory Hero Xiang Wuji and others also gathered around to chat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Knowing that the training environment in Tianying Continent was fair and clean, and seeing how the brothers Sheng Yingxiong and Sheng Yinghua were so old-fashioned and approachable, Qingshi couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with the Jiang family.
