Nothing happened all night.
The four people living in the Chang Lai Inn had stayed up all night.
The four of them gathered in the lobby of the inn early in the morning, their eyes slightly darkened.
Zuo Chong touched his nose and grinned, "I underestimated the Academy's Suzaku Order."
"It's always right to be cautious." said the 'cold-faced man'.
"..."
morning.
What happened at the Tianjiao Banquet was completely spread throughout Chang'an City.
People everywhere, in the streets and alleys, were talking about Chu Xiu, Meng Xiaochuan, Huitong, Gu Chensha, Wen Yi, and Jing Yun. Many people heard this with excitement and wished they could replace them.
Those young prodigies who were defeated had a different feeling.
foil.
Including Qiu Shaoqing, who was third on the Fuyao list, everyone was reduced to a foil.
Even Li Yuanhua became the butt of secret conversations among the people.
The heated discussion lasted for two days and reached a climax... On this day, Tianji Pavilion promulgated a new Fuyao list.
Chang'an City, Zhuque Street.
A long, slender blue brocade cloth was posted vertically on the wall that was originally used to publicize criminal documents.
Since the Fuyao List was promulgated, there have always been seventy-two people on the list, without exception.
In front of the announcement wall, people were already crowding around.
“Ranking: seventy-two.
Name: Song Anmian.
Age: seventeen.
Nickname: Iron Whirlwind.
Identity: A descendant of the Song family in Jingzhou.
Realm: The pinnacle of martial arts foundation building; Martial Arts: Whirlwind Palm, Falling Rain Sword Technique, Seven Absolute Lotus Steps...
Achievements: The Song family ranked first in the competition, killed Wuling bandit Zhang Cong, defeated Qingzhou Zhang Yunyang... and lost to Qiu Shaoqing.
Comment: A graceful gentleman is in the palm of the whirlwind, and the Song family has its descendants. "
"Is Song Anmian on the list?" A visitor from Jingzhou shouted in surprise.
"This boy will become a great person in the future." Someone praised, brushing his beard.
"Is seventy-two enough to become a great person?" Meng Xiaochuan, who was crowded in the front, chuckled lightly, with no concealment of arrogance on his face.
Standing next to him is Gu Shensha, who was once the ninth on the Fuyao List.
"Being on the list at the age of seventeen is already pretty good." Gu Chensha chuckled.
Meng Xiaochuan was noncommittal, thinking it would depend on who he was competing with.
Not long after, the second long brocade cloth was pasted, and the person on the list was a young woman named 'Guo Zhenzhen'.
This caused many people in front of the public notice wall to marvel.
Meng Xiaochuan became a little impatient. He glanced at the Tianji Pavilion disciples standing at the post list and shouted, "Hey, do you want to post them one by one?"
This Tianji Pavilion disciple glanced at Meng Xiaochuan and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Meng."
"Since you know me, just tell me where I rank." Meng Xiaochuan said directly.
The disciple of Tianji Pavilion shook his head, "Before the list is posted on the wall, only Tianji~ Pavilion Master knows the specific ranking, and I am not qualified to check it in advance."
"Then finish posting it quickly." Meng Xiaochuan was annoyed.
The disciple of Tianji Pavilion shook his head again, "There is no need to rush."
Meng Xiaochuan laughed angrily, "Your old man Tianji has already made up the list, why can't you rush?"
"This is called leaving suspense." The disciple of Tianji Pavilion smiled and immediately comforted, "Mr. Meng, there is no need to worry. The queue will definitely be finished before dark."
"It's dark?" Meng Xiaochuan's face twitched hard. It was just after noon. Do we have to wait until dark?
Gu Chensha on the side was also a little speechless. He glanced at the box where the ranking strips were stored, and then at the two middle-aged men in white standing in front of the box...
"Forget it, let's wait slowly, just in time to get acquainted with these talented people on the list." Gu Chensha was very sincere.
Tianji Pavilion is not famous for its military force, but it holds all kinds of news in the world. If it did not have enough strength, I am afraid that people would have destroyed the pavilion long ago.
Gu Chensha guessed that the two middle-aged men in white who were guarding in front of the box had most likely reached the fourth realm: the mysterious realm.
Meng Xiaochuan also glanced at the two middle-aged men in white and curled his lips. He could tell at a glance that they were two people who could not be beaten.
During the long wait, the news that Tianji Pavilion was announcing the Fuyao Ranking on Zhuque Street completely ignited the conversation throughout Chang'an City.
Often come to the inn.
Welcoming a guest:
Li Xianyuan, the commander of Longyuan Guard.
In his hand, there was a brocade scroll.
In the hotel lobby.
Zuo Chong has introduced Chu Xiu and Li Xianyuan to each other.
"Commander, are you here specifically to see me?" Chu Xiu was curious and glanced at the scroll in front of Li Xianyuan.
"Just now, Tianji Pavilion issued a new Fuyao Ranking." Li Xianyuan said.
"Oh?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing what this scroll was.
"Where is Mr. Chu ranked?" Zuo Chong was curious.
The proprietress who had been sitting at the counter pricked up her ears and listened silently.
Li Xianyuan did not answer directly, but looked at Chu Xiu and asked, "Where do you think you can be ranked?"
Chu Xiu pondered: "Yesterday at the banquet, Old Man Tianji once said that Meng Xiaochuan, Huitong, Wen Yi, Jingyun, Gu Chensha and I are all in the top ten."
"You are indeed in the top ten." Li Xianyuan said, with a meaningful flash in his eyes.
Chu Xiu took a sip of the wine on the table and chuckled: "Among the six of us, I shouldn't be the last one."
"Oh? Do you think you are better than them?" Li Xianyuan asked.
Chu Xiu smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he chuckled and said, "The commander came to me and must have wanted to tell me the ranking. You might as well tell me directly."
"I'm also very curious about Mr. Chu's ranking." Zuo Chong said with a smile.
Li Xianyuan looked at Chu Xiu and said, "Let me ask you another question."
"Please." Chu Xiu took a sip of wine.
"What do you think the significance of this list is?" Li Xianyuan asked.
"The significance of the list..." Chu Xiu pondered, "At best, it can make many people famous; at worst, it can trigger a series of battles."
"Meng Xiaochuan is ranked eleventh." Li Xianyuan said.
"Eleventh place?" Chu Xiu and Zuo Chong were both stunned.
"That old man Tianji has no good intentions." Zuo Chong reacted quickly and immediately understood the sinister intentions of old man Tianji.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "That old guy really has no good intentions."
If Old Man Tianji had not mentioned that Meng Xiaochuan would be ranked in the top ten at yesterday's banquet, then Meng Xiaochuan would be ranked eleventh. With Meng Xiaochuan's temperament, he might be unhappy, but he would not react too radically.
At most, he would scold Old Man Tianji for being blind; if he could meet someone in the top ten, he might give him a challenge.
But the reality is that Old Man Tianji has already said in advance that Meng Xiaochuan will be among the top ten, and many people have heard it. Under such circumstances, Meng Xiaochuan is ranked eleventh, which is undoubtedly intentional. Slap Meng Xiaochuan in the face.
"If you were ranked eleventh, what would you think? How would you do it?" Li Xianyuan looked at Chu Xiu and asked.
Chu Xiu smiled lightly and said, "I am a rather small-minded person."
"It seems that you think it is not a good thing to rank Meng Xiaochuan in eleventh place." Li Xianyuan said.
Chu Xiu looked at Li Xianyuan and asked, "Commander, do you think this is a good thing?"
Li Xianyuan said: "At yesterday's banquet, the first person to lift the table was Meng Xiaochuan. Among the six of you, he was the one taking the lead."
This is a fact.
Chu Xiu couldn't deny it.
The 'initiator' who proposed to select the entire corridor was Meng Xiaochuan.
"Today's new Fuyao Ranking list was announced, and he is probably the most embarrassing one." Li Xianyuan said.
Chu Xiu said thoughtfully, "You mean, this new list helped Meng Xiaochuan calm down public anger."
Li Xianyuan did not answer, but asked: "Based on this incident alone, do you think Old Man Tianji's heart is good or bad?"
