After high-fiving, the cooperation between the two parties was finalized. Then Luo Ying took out a map and placed it on the table. She pointed to a place marked on it and said:
"Even if we cooperate, it's best not to go out together when we want to leave the sect. The goal is too big. It's not you, but us. After all, there are always people who are determined to follow us. We might as well go out separately. Hey, stick to this place , how about we meet here in seven days?"
Qian Chao looked at the map and saw that the location marked on it was not very far away, so he showed the map to Tang Ping.
Tang Ping expected that the place marked by the opponent on the map must not be the location of the ruins. Even if Luo Ying trusted Qian Chao, she would still have reservations about this matter. After all, it involved such a major event as foundation building. She looked at the map , and then said:
"Okay, since we agreed, we will definitely come as promised."
After saying that, he put the map away.
At this moment, Qian Chao's courtyard door was kicked open with a bang, and a loud shout came from the door:
"Who bullied my brother yesterday!"
Then six or seven people barged in aggressively.
Among the original people in the courtyard, Qian Chao and others probably understood why these people came. Among them, Lu Pingchuan was the most happy when he understood. He thought he could have a fight here to vent his anger, but when he was about to roll up his sleeves, he was hit by Tang. Ping grabbed it, and then pointed to Lu Pingchuan with her eyes, Luo Ying and Wenyuan, who were looking away. Tang Ping knew that it was impossible for the sect to take action, and with Luo Ying here, there was no need to Several of them spoke. According to Luo Ying's temper, these guys who came to the door must be in trouble again.
Among the people who broke in, the leader was a tall and thin young man. Although he was thin, his head seemed a bit bigger than the others, which made him look a little funny. He was dressed in green as he walked. The robe seemed a bit swaying on the body, and the head looked like a big melon on a long pole. On the other hand, there was a arrogant and arrogant look on his face, and there were several people surrounding him who were shouting with arrogance. , showing off that fox-like and tiger-powerful demeanor.
However, as the tall and thin young man walked into the courtyard and saw clearly many people sitting under the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized a face among the faces looking at him. Come on, I suddenly became a little panicked.
"Rainao!" Luo Ying frowned and said, "Why is it you? What is going on? What are you going to do!"
This tall and thin young man is named Lai Nao, and he is the descendant of a senior Lai in Shuiyun Valley. This Lai Nao is naturally a dude in the sect, and he usually has a domineering temperament. As mentioned before, someone came to Qian Chao's yard yesterday. After walking around for a few times, he was very satisfied with the house and asked Qian Chao to buy it. However, the man's demeanor was very arrogant and rude at the time, and he was arrested by Ma Hu. He threw it out with his ears covered, and this guy from the troublemaking family, also named Lai, was called Lai Clam. He was a brother of the same clan as Lai Nao. This time he also came to the Wuling Sect from the Lai family to participate in the grace examination a year later. Yes, but he did not enter Shuiyun Valley, but Jiuxuan.
Lai Kai was defeated by Qian Chao. The key was that he was thrown out by his ears. He had no face at all. Of course, he felt that he had been greatly wronged. Then he went to the whole sect to find his cousin Lai Nao. Today, we finally found it. After telling what happened to him, Lai Nao was furious. Although he guessed from Lai Chu's mouth that the people living in the courtyard were not ordinary people, he was used to being arrogant, so he didn't care about those things. , Furthermore, Lai Nao has also heard about Qian Chao, but he has never taken Qian Chao seriously. In his opinion, Qian Chao is just a little guy without a teacher, and Lai Nao doesn't Knowing that he was breaking into Qian Chao's yard, Reinao didn't even know it. He had nothing to do anyway, so he immediately came to save face for his brother without saying a word. However, after breaking in, he met Luo Ying.
Luo Ying's shrewdness was well-known among the disciples in the sect, and most of the dandies in the sect feared him like a tiger.
After seeing Luo Ying clearly, Reinao had the idea of turning around and running away, but as he hesitated in his steps, Luo Ying had already noticed it and shouted:
"come over!"
"Senior Sister Luo..."
Reinau's attitude changed drastically, and the guys who followed him in were immediately at a loss.
"No one can leave, everyone come here!"
Only then did Lai Chu realize that he might have offended someone he shouldn't have offended. Why did his cousin immediately wilt when he saw this shrewd woman?
"Ha! It turns out to be Lai Datou!" Tang Ping saw clearly the person coming and called out Lai Nao's nickname with a smile.
Only then did Reinao realize that among these people there was not only the female yaksha Luo Ying, but also the little yaksha Tang Ping.
"What's going on?" Luo Ying asked.
"My brother yesterday..." Reinau spoke quickly.
"Shut up!" Luo Ying shouted, "I didn't ask you!"
Then Luo Ying turned to look at Qian Chao:
"Junior brother Qian, you said they broke into your yard."
Then Qian Chao held back his laughter and told what happened yesterday.
"It was Ma Hu yesterday?" Luo Ying also wanted to laugh when she heard this, but Wenyuan was already laughing.
Qian Chao nodded.
"Ha! Reinao, did you hear that? The person who pulled your brother's ear yesterday was not Junior Brother Qian, but Ma Hu. What did you do here?"
"this……"
Lai Nao was speechless for a moment and stared at Lai Kai. He couldn't afford to offend Luo Ying, but could he afford to offend Ma Hu? Luo Ying and Ma Hu, one has a bad reputation and the other has a bad reputation in the sect, especially Ma Hu, who really dares to take action in the sect if he is provoked. He doesn't care even if he is punished by the sect. Master Tian Zhi'an came forward and made a big fuss to rescue him. If Luo Ying was still reasonable, then Ma Hu was not reasonable at all. Now this situation...sigh...it's all his fault. This blind cousin.
"Uh... haha, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. If Junior Brother Qian doesn't explain, I will really be deceived by this guy. Senior Sister Luo, I'll leave now and teach this guy a lesson..."
Luo Ying ignored him, stood up, looked at Lai Kai, frowned and asked:
"Which ear was your ear scratched by Ma Hu yesterday?"
"Uh...this one...ouch...!"
As soon as that silly boy Lai Kai pointed at his ear, Luo Ying's slender jade fingers immediately grabbed it, twisting it tightly like an iron hook, and it was still the same ear, just like yesterday when Ma Hu grabbed it. Lai Ke's body bent involuntarily, and then Luo Ying grabbed Lai Ke's ears and walked all the way to the entrance of the courtyard. With another force, she actually threw the Lai Ke out again like Ma Hu!
Then, while Reinau and others were stunned, Luo Ying came back and said:
"Let's go, what are you doing here? Remember to wipe the shoe marks on the door when you go out, otherwise I will go to Ma Hu and tell him that you are going to cause trouble for him!"
"Yes Yes……"
Reinao hurriedly agreed, and then he wiped the shoe prints on the door carefully with his sleeve at the courtyard door, and then closed the door gently with a smile.
He had never been so ugly before. After closing the door, Rei Nao's expression suddenly changed. He glared at Lai Clam, who had just gotten up from the ground, and grabbed the red ear...
Hearing the shouts of "ouch, ouch, ouch" coming from outside the hospital, several people in the hospital couldn't help laughing anymore.
…
After laughing, Lu Pingchuan said:
"Something like this needs to take part in some kind of grace test. Hehe, I'm afraid someone will knock him down as soon as he steps on stage."
Qian Chao and others also had the same view on this.
"We can't all look at it this way," Luo Ying said, "Those aristocratic families bring their nephews in. During the grace test, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose after taking the stage. It's just a formality. There are still some senior elders in the sect who value the heavy gifts they give. Yes, I guess the gifts are what you want. No matter how naughty those people are, they will be included in the door. Well, besides, don’t think that all the children of aristocratic families are like that. There are also some hard-working children in aristocratic families. Although He is not as good as Junior Brother Qian, but he can become a prominent figure within the sect after a while. I have experienced this many times, so I can clearly see this."
Wenyuan asked while holding a tea cup:
"Junior brother Qian...will you participate in the grace examination next year?"
Such a question made Luo Ying also interested. After all, Qian Chao had not yet learned from him, and she had always been curious about why those seniors did not accept Qian Chao as his disciple. Therefore, after hearing Wenyuan's words, she immediately stared at Qian Chao.
"Uh..." Qian Chao was a little hesitant. As for the test, he wanted to see the excitement, but he still had no interest in letting him go on stage. "I probably won't participate."
"That's such a pity," Wenyuan said, "I thought I would be able to see Junior Brother Qian go through all the competition on the stage."
If Qian Chao had not participated, probably none of the five of them would have participated. Yanxuan and Li Jian were about to have a mentor, while Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan already had a mentor. From this point of view, this imperial examination would be related to The five of them have nothing to do with each other.
"Otherwise," Luo Ying said with a smile, "I guess... haha... Junior Brother Qian will definitely be on stage by then. Well, even with Tang Yatou and Lu Xiaozi as his disciples, they might even be on stage to compete! "
"Oh, why is that?" Qian Chao asked in surprise, and the other four people were also surprised.
"Haha, do you think it's okay if you don't participate? Boy Qian, you have never experienced the grace examination, so naturally you don't know how lively it will be at that time, and you don't know the rules of the grace examination. Come, senior sister will explain it to you carefully. "
"First, Mr. Lu and Ms. Tang said that you might participate, because this grace test is not only a competition between the disciples, but also the seniors who have accepted disciples. For example... well... take Mr. Lu Let’s make an analogy with Tang Ping. If Senior Kang Fu bets with Senior Gu Huo, if Mr. Lu wins, Senior Gu Huo will lose something good to Senior Kang. This situation has always happened. Alas, in the past The seniors were so excited during the exam. Well, of course, senior Guhuo wouldn't be so boring and would not torment his apprentices like this, but... Girl Tang... don't forget your six Grandpa, Senior Tang Bo is not a reliable person. Among those seniors, he might want to trick someone or get some benefits from someone. As for Senior Kang Fu, let alone that. Therefore, you two may compete on stage at that time."
"There is such a thing!" Yanxuan's eyes widened.
"That being said, it is indeed possible..." Tang Ping was obviously thinking of her sixth grandfather.
"Hey, I'm worried about not being able to participate!" Lu Pingchuan looked very happy.
"Secondly, there are still Li Jian, Yanxuan and Qian Boy. Regardless of whether you three can become apprentices before the grace examination, you will probably be on stage by then."
"Why is that?" Qian Chao asked.
"The reason is that in addition to those disciples who want to become disciples on the stage, the Enexamination also allows disciples at the intermediate level of Qi Refining and above in the sect to challenge other disciples at the mid-level Qi Refining level and above."
"challenge?"
"Yes, challenge, well, let's use another analogy. For example, Mr. Qian, if you want to challenge Li Jian and compete with Li Jian in the ring in front of everyone, you must first find the person who presides over the trial from the sect. Those senior brothers go and talk, and then you have to come up with a sum of spiritual stones. If you lose, the spiritual stones will belong to Li Jian..."
"Then...if I win, will Brother Li lose the same number of spirit stones to me?"
"No, because it was you who initiated the challenge. If you win, your goal will be achieved. After some of your spiritual stones are deducted, the rest is still yours."
Qian Chao and the other five people were a little confused after hearing this. Qian Chao continued to ask:
"Then what's the point of launching this challenge?"
"Of course it's useful, Mr. Qian, and you guys. All five of you may be targets for others to challenge."
"Why?"
"Just because the five of you are now famous, defeating you is almost equivalent to taking away your reputation in public. When people talk about you, Money Boy, even if you do something great later, they will always be criticized. In the previous sentence, during the grace test of a certain year, you were defeated by someone on stage in front of everyone, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, what's the use of this reputation?"
"Huh, you think it's useless, but it may be something that is valued by others. Many people who are not well-known but think they have some strength value your current reputation most. If they defeat you, they will naturally become famous. Being so excited can also attract the attention of many seniors, which is good for him to become a disciple. In addition, it is a personal grudge. The two have had a grudge for a long time, and they don't want to fight to the death in private, so they might as well go on stage to compete. The winner or loser is up to everyone. Under witness, you cannot lie. But in my opinion, there will be many people in the sect who covet your reputation. After all, there are still very few people who have seen you take action."
Qian Chao was a little troubled. After what Luo Ying said, it seemed that he would probably be on stage by then. But he thought of something more and said:
"Even if someone challenges me, it will be fine if I don't challenge."
"Silly boy, no one will refuse to fight. Not fighting is equivalent to admitting defeat on the spot, and it will be looked down upon by others. Of course, you can bite the bullet and just refuse to fight, but, boy Qian, I don't believe you can tolerate others. Afterwards, I said you were as timid as a mouse, and you didn’t even have the guts to go on stage just for the sake of your reputation. In all these years, well, I haven’t heard of anything about refusing to fight.”
"Alas! I'm really... burdened by fame!" Qian Chao sighed.
"But," Luo Ying blinked and said with a wicked smile, "there is another way, which can scare a lot of people..."
"Oh," Qian Chao said eagerly, "What can I do?"
"That is, there is no upper limit but a lower limit for the number of spirit stones that others want to give out when challenging others. You can go to the elders in advance and declare that you accept the challenge, but only accept challenges with a number of one or two hundred spirit stones or more, but at the same time You also have to stake this amount of spiritual stones there. In this way, if you lose, your reputation and the amount of spiritual stones will belong to others. If you put out one or two thousand spiritual stones, no one will be able to follow you. You compare, where do ordinary disciples get so many spiritual stones, right? Well, I guess with your strength, Mr. Qian, it will be no problem to come up with these spiritual stones."
"Don't give random ideas!" Wenyuan said angrily.
"It doesn't matter." Qian Chao also made up his mind at this time. It seemed that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply said, "When someone really challenges me, I will just go and earn spiritual stones. Let's see how much I can earn that day."
"Hey, this is right!" Lu Pingchuan praised.
"Wow!" Tang Ping also said, fearing that the world would be in chaos, "I really hope that day comes soon!"
