After the contention meeting ended, Yan Changlan and other contenders came out of the small secret realm. Before that, the onlookers outside had already dispersed. The powerful people who were watching the battle in the sky saw the result and left separately. They just waited. The top ten among the contenders will make demands and then fulfill them.
Of course, the identity of the contender was also clearly discovered during the fight.
If it's someone who has a master's background, the great masters are not stupid and won't summon him extra. But if some great masters take a fancy to that pearl of the sea - the best among the few casual cultivators, they might accept a named disciple first. , or maybe you don't like it yourself, but let your disciples take a look, or you can accept a disciple or something.
Many contenders not only want rewards, but also want to be favored by the powerful. As long as they are summoned, they will quickly leave. When they appear again, some of their identities will have changed.
Yan Changlan and Ye Shu walked out side by side and met an acquaintance on the road.
This acquaintance was accompanied by a female vocal cultivator, Liu Zhifeng, who was provoked several times by Yan Changlan and drove away fellow senior sister Ruan Hongyi.
After all, Liu Zhifeng was also a major disciple in the Zhengming Mansion. Although he did not rank among the top ten, he did rank among the top hundred—originally he was supposed to rank among the top fifty, but unfortunately he was unlucky and the opponents he encountered were often restrained. He could only receive a low reward sadly. But the top 100 is also the top 100. He watched the entire debate conference and saw what Yan Changlan was capable of...
At this moment, Liu Zhifeng saw Yan Changlan, turned his head slightly to avoid it, and left quickly.
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan walked straight past and ignored him.
...After all, it was just a chance encounter.
After coming out, Ye Shu saw Ruan Hongyi and Zhou Xiaofeng waiting outside.
Ruan Hongyi hurriedly came up to greet him and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yan, Master Ye, congratulations."
Zhou Xiaofeng also hurriedly followed and said "congratulations", but knowing that he was just a guide, he waited quietly aside after saying congratulations.
Ye Shu said: "Go back first."
Ruan Hongyi and others have no objection.
Yan Changlan stayed beside Ye Shu, calm and silent.
Ye Shu occasionally turned his head to look at him. Although he didn't say anything, getting along with him was very natural.
·
Because the Zhengming Conference had just ended, there were many people in Zhengmingfufu City and it was very lively.
Instead, Ye Shu and Yan Changlan stayed in the small courtyard and did not go out until most of the excitement had dissipated before they prepared to leave.
Yan Changlan said to Ruan Hongyi, "Ah Zhuo and I will take you back to Ziyu Tower."
Ruan Hongyi was stunned.
During these days, she almost forgot that she was still a member of Ziyu Tower, but now, she suddenly remembered.
Ye Shu said calmly: "It's time to negotiate with Ziyu Tower about your matter."
Ruan Hongyi has mixed feelings in her heart. She trusts Senior Brother Yan and the two of them very much. However, she is still a little worried about whether she can really escape from the Ziyu Tower. And even if she can escape, she doesn't know how much it will cost them...
In the past few days, Zhou Xiaofeng had stayed in his room without being summoned. Now before leaving, he suddenly heard several people talking about this matter, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Immediately, he saw that Ruan Hongyi seemed to be in an unspeakable mood. After thinking for a moment, he said carefully: "If Senior Ruan has not been in Ziyu Tower for a long time, he may not know that a senior from Ziyu Tower escaped. Following a golden elixir master who left, Ziyu Tower was not in any trouble, and there was a bit of love between them. Senior Ruan didn’t have to worry too much. Senior Yan and Senior Ye showed such abilities in the debate conference. Ziyu Tower Lou opens the door to do business, and he would not offend such a peerless person with extraordinary origins."
Ruan Hongyi came back to her senses, a little enlightened, but still worried.
After all, that is Zhenren Jindan...
Ye Shu's brows moved slightly, but he had never thought of it this way.
In his opinion, Changlan's identity was certainly useful, but he had already thought of other ways. If that method still doesn't make Ziyulou relent, they will seize the first place in the contention conference and still have two demands left.
No matter what he does, Ruan Hongyi can successfully regain her freedom.
However, Ye Shu still had a vague idea in his mind, and he could discuss it first.
·
The journey back went smoothly, and within a few days, the group arrived successfully.
Zhou Xiaofeng was even more familiar with Jihe City and quickly booked a good inn for a few people and invited them to stay.
Ye Shu is quite satisfied with Zhou Xiaofeng's service during these days. Moreover, this son is clear-headed and does not miss opportunities. If he can continue to practice with his heart in the future, he will definitely become a figure.
Now that they are leaving this place after negotiating with Ziyu Tower, they must send the people away first...
Ye Shu slightly pondered, took out a thumb-sized jade bottle, and threw it to Zhou Xiaofeng.
"Just have a good time practicing in the future."
Zhou Xiaofeng was reluctant to give up.
In all the years he had been working as a guide, the Master Ye he met this time was the only one who treated him the most kindly. Apart from running some errands, he never shouted around to show his authority, and he was even more generous after each mission... If he hadn't been taught by his adoptive father since he was a child to be a person who takes charge of his own life, he might have wanted to join Master Ye.
But his own family knew his own affairs, and even without the teachings of his adoptive father, with his meager cultivation, he was of no use to Master Ye, so how could he put it forward shamelessly?
Therefore, Zhou Xiaofeng took the bottle, bowed deeply, and left.
After he was far away and returned to his dusty residence, he entered the only room with a good formation and checked the formation several times before opening the bottle.
In an instant, a fragrance overflowed, causing his pupils to shrink, and a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face unconsciously.
Foundation Building Pill! It’s actually the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Zhou Xiaofeng is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, which is far away from the foundation stage. Working as a guide on the dock is not a day-to-day job, and he also has to buy cultivation items. It is very difficult to make a living. Even though the distinguished guest he met this time was very generous, the accumulated spiritual stones could not support his cultivation for too long. He would still have to travel in the future. It would be extremely difficult to advance to the peak of Qi refining, let alone that time. I collected a large amount of spiritual stones and bought a foundation-building pill that was priceless and of good quality!
But this time, I actually got such one first...
Zhou Xiaofeng firmly grasped the small jade bottle and hid it firmly in his most secret place. After calming down for a while, he suppressed all the joy and gratitude to Ye Shu deep in his heart.
He only thought that after receiving such a foundation-building pill, he would practice hard and build the foundation as soon as possible, and he would definitely remember Master Ye. One day, he would have the ability to repay him.
As for Ye Shu, he casually gave Zhou Xiaofeng a Foundation Building Pill because he thought this person could be cultivated. Otherwise, even if he didn't lack this thing, he wouldn't waste it casually.
Then, he sat at the table, pointed to the stool opposite, and said to Ruan Hongyi, "Sit."
When Ruan Hongyi saw Ye Shu like this, she knew that he must have something to say, so she quickly sat down.
Yan Changlan consciously sat next to Ye Shu.
Ye Shu has always acted decisively, and when he spoke to Ruan Hongyi, he never betrayed him and said bluntly: "Before I go to Ziyu Tower, I need to know your future plans for practice."
Ruan Hongyi was startled, wondering what Ye Shu meant.
However, Yan Changlan understood and said: "What A Zhuo means is to ask you how you want to practice in the future." He paused and said, "Junior sister Ruan, what you are learning now is the Ziyu Tower method. If you really want to follow the Ziyulou method, When Yulou escaped, he must have abolished the martial arts... No matter which sect in the world, the disciples are no longer members of the sect. If they are practicing other sects, it is fine, but if they are practicing the fundamentals of the sect The law is all so regular.”
Ruan Hongyi's face turned red and then turned white.
She thought it was difficult to escape before, but didn't think about it deeply. Now that she thought about it, it really should be the case.
But... it was so easy to build the foundation. If she abolished it and started over again, she didn't know how much time it would take. And unless she encountered some extremely rare treasures of heaven and earth, the difficulty of rebuilding would be far greater than before. She might not be able to do it in her lifetime. One step further. If so, she is nothing more than a burden. How about taking care of the orphans of her senior brothers and sisters in the future, and how about revenge?
Ye Shu calmly said: "I have asked Zhou Xiaofeng privately. You must have been in Ziyu Tower for several years, and you also know that marriage leave is not allowed in Ziyu Tower. Whether it is taking a wife or concubinage, if you get married, you only need to be able to afford a dowry. However, there is no need to abolish the practice. However, although the disciples who leave like this are no longer the same as before, they are still members of Ziyu Pavilion."
Ruan Hongyi nodded slightly.
Of course she knew it, but Ziyulou didn't believe it just after hearing that he was getting married. He had already done all the research. If she really gets married, she will get married. If it's a lie, I'm afraid Ziyulou will be furious.
Ye Shu looked at Ruan Hongyi: "You can't tell lies, and I have no intention of letting you marry at will to escape, but since you can retain your identity as a Ziyulou disciple after getting married, you can continue to practice Ziyulou Kung Fu... If Since you don't want to abolish this method, I will try to find a way to make you escape from the unpleasant things in the building as a disciple of Ziyu Tower. In the future, you only need to find a person who is happy to practice, which will be beneficial to you. Keep studying hard. Just practice and polish your magic power from time to time.”
When Ruan Hongyi heard this, many thoughts came to her mind, and many people flashed in her mind.
In the past, she only thought that Ziyu Tower was... a place of frivolity. After falling, it was difficult to escape. But now there is another way, but she has to carefully consider whether she is willing to retain her identity as a disciple of Ziyu Pavilion? There are pros and cons, it just depends on her inner choice.
