A wonderful and exciting farce has finally come to an end.
Qian Chao was injured and a lot of the spiritual weapons on his body were destroyed, so naturally he had no choice but to return to the sect first. However, Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan did not forget to rush to Ma Hu to get back the spirit stones they had won. At that time, Ma Hu was surrounded by people, all of whom were the winners of the money-buying wave. Everyone was either laughing loudly or urging Ma Hu to quickly find the spirit stones. In short, the atmosphere around Ma Hu was extremely lively.
Of course, the children of the aristocratic families are different. Many of them have thoughtful faces, and some have depressed faces. But at this time, they are all convinced by Qian Chao, and when they look at him again, their eyes have become awed. many.
"Brother Qian," Li Jian came closer and said softly while most people gathered around Ma Hu, "I recognize someone."
I still remember that a few days ago, Qian Chao and Luo Ying, a total of ten people went around opening ruins. In the last ruins, they finally gathered together the Mozun Jade Lantern that Luo Ying and others wanted. However, it was at that time that they were captured by someone. People outside the ruins were surrounded by people. According to Luo Ying's wishes, he went out to have a good fight, but was finally stopped by Qian Chao. He first closed the ruins and then opened a secret passage in the ruins. Ten people came from that secret passage. left. Later, Qian Chao and the other five quietly returned. Li Jian went over to investigate and remembered the leader-like figure among them. But when Qian Chao accepted the challenge today, Li Jian unexpectedly I discovered that among the people who came to see the fun, there was actually the leader of the group of guys surrounding the last ruins.
Under Li Jian's prompting, Qian Chao took a clear look at the man's face and figure without revealing anything. As long as he recognized his appearance, he would naturally be able to find out who this person was in the future.
Of course, Senior Brother Chu, who once led more than a hundred people and blocked Qian Chao, Luo Ying and others in the ruins, did not realize that he had been discovered. At that time, he did not even know that there were other things in the ruins. With Qian Chao and others, he always thought that Luo Ying was the only one he led to block.
But just before that time, this senior brother Chu once suffered a big loss because of an earth nightmare and lost a lot of people. That was that time, during the earth nightmare's charming illusion, he saw it from a distance. The figures of Luo Ying and others, but... This is naturally thanks to the Dima that had died in Ajiu's mouth... The Dima's transformation was a perfect reproduction of the process of Qian Chao and others opening the ruins. Senior Brother Chu recognized Luo Ying, Lu Shuang and others among those phantoms, but there were five strange figures that he didn't recognize, especially one of them who was a bit thin... How could he be different from the ten-game winning streak just now? The junior brother Qian in the scene looks a bit like him!
Senior Brother Chu has been watching the challenge Qian Chao accepted today from the very beginning. He has watched every last scene. He didn't realize this at first until Wei Bie was trapped in Qian Chao's spirit locking formation and couldn't move. , Brother Chu's heart suddenly moved, and then Qian Chao's figure began to overlap with the thin figure in the phantom of the earth nightmare that he saw that night.
Later, Tian Shuangyou was hit by Qian Chao's formations one after another. It was a rare scene. Even though Senior Brother Chu didn't understand the art of formations, he understood from the momentum of the formations that Qian Chao must be practicing. Among the Qi disciples, he was a master at arranging formations. At this point, Qian Chao's figure completely overlapped with the thin figure that Dima had transformed into that night, and... exactly the same.
Although Senior Brother Chu didn't know what happened to the Earthly Nightmare, he naturally knew something about the Earthly Nightmare after being in the sect for so long.
At this point, his eyes were fixed on Qian Chao!
Inadvertently, Senior Brother Chu's eyes met Qian Chao's squinting eyes, which seemed to have been glanced at unintentionally. He felt panic in his heart and quickly disappeared among the people who were about to talk about leaving.
"Junior Brother Qian, this is yours."
Just when Qian Chao was still focusing on Brother Chu, Ma Hu came over happily, raised his hand and threw a small bag over. No need to ask, it was naturally filled with spiritual stones.
"I didn't place a bet?" Qian Chao asked curiously after catching it.
"Hehe, you didn't place a bet, but you did your best. It's all because of you that so many people win spiritual stones. According to the rules, you deserve it."
Luo Ying and others were still there at this time, and they also came over to talk.
"Ma Hu, Junior Brother Qian won all ten games, how come he got such a small amount of spiritual stones in the end? Tell me, have you been cheating a lot?"
"Hey, Miss Luo, don't look at how many people have placed bets. There are too many people trying to divide the spirit stones, so naturally there will be fewer people who get them in the end."
Ma Hu wanted to talk to Qian Chao, but there were too many people approaching, so he winked at Qian Chao and left. Qian Chao knew that Ma Hu would come back to him again.
Just as these people were gathering together to talk, Senior Brother Chu looked back quietly in the crowd. At this time, he saw Luo Ying, Qian Chao and others laughing together, looking very familiar. After Ma Hu left, Senior Brother Chu finally matched the figures of the people in his eyes with the phantoms of the Dire Demon that he saw that night. From this, he vaguely understood that perhaps Luo Ying went out that time. More than ten relics were opened in a row, and it was not opened by Luo Ying himself. It has been so long. Even if he kept a close eye on it, if Luo Ying could open those relics, he would have found a way to get them out. Why is there no movement just that one time? There are so many opened in a row, which means someone must be helping!
And the person who helped was probably the Qian Chao who accepted the challenge today!
At this moment, Luo Ying suddenly turned around and stared straight at him with an extremely cold gaze. Seeing this, Senior Brother Chu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly lowered his head.
Luo Ying and the others have been very leisurely recently. It seems that they have been just cultivating and there is no movement. From this point of view, Luo Ying and the others may have got the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp and no longer need it to stare at her. I'm afraid there won't be any discoveries, but this money trend will require more thought in the future.
However... Senior Brother Chu felt a little uneasy... Qian Chao's methods were probably revealed today. Although most of the people who fought against him were middle-level Qi Refining monks, after looking at these ten competitions, I'm afraid the Qi Refining level of the people present was high. There are not many monks at the highest level who dare to say that they can easily defeat him. It's so strange. How could a boy without a master come from such a clever method!
No matter what, let's go back to find someone to discuss some countermeasures.
…
The excitement was over, and the onlookers began to leave one after another. Some continued to rush outside the sect, while others returned to the sect.
The five people had originally planned to go out, but now they had no choice but to return to the sect first. After all, Qian Chao was injured.
Along the way, whether they knew each other or not, many people passed by or came specifically to say hello to Qian Chao and others, which made Qian Chao a little confused.
"Boy Qian, now you have truly become famous in the sect. From now on, no one will dare to cause trouble in front of your door." Tang Ping said.
"Hehe, those people all won their bets and earned spiritual stones." Lu Pingchuan said with a smile.
This situation was especially true after the five people returned to the sect. Many people passing by watched Qian Chao and the five of them fly over, making Qian Chao very uncomfortable.
Finally returning to his courtyard, Yanxuan immediately got busy, asking Qian Chao to remove the broken green robe, and then took out the medicine and applied it carefully to Qian Chao.
On Qian Chao's chest, Tian Shuangyou's light ball hit a red mark the size of a human head. Yan Xuan was most afraid that Qian Chao's sternum was injured, but after looking at it, he felt relieved. He only suffered a strong impact and was injured. It's just redness and swelling. There may be some minor injuries to the internal organs, but it's not serious. You can keep some elixir after applying the medicine and take it internally and you'll be fine.
Lu Pingchuan watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, and said:
"Hehe, Brother Qian later came to Houtu Temple to find me and asked me to punch him a few more times. I was not willing at the time, but I didn't expect that the talisman would actually work!"
Tang Ping waited until Yan Xuanwei had finished his treatment and Qian Chao put on a new green robe before speaking:
"Boy Qian, let's talk about it now. We have never seen you like this before. Although Bai Lin and Yun Xi must have caused trouble today, it is enough to defeat him based on your temperament in the past. , but you not only defeated him today, you humiliated Bai Lin mercilessly today, and you did it in front of everyone, weren't you like this before?"
Qian Chao smiled and said:
"I didn't understand what happened today at first, but it's actually just a thin piece of window paper. Once you point it through, you'll understand..."
"What exactly have you figured out?"
"Today... it must not have been Bai Lin's idea. Isn't this correct?"
"Well, Bai Lin is just a playful little playboy. He spends all his time idle, but he has never done anything particularly outrageous. He has never done anything like this to specifically deal with you today." Tang Ping said.
"That's right, so gathering so many people secretly to stop us, and then challenge us or something like that, would definitely not be possible...or it definitely wasn't Bai Lin's idea in the first place."
"That... is Yun Xi? But..." At this point, Tang Ping looked at Li Jian. "Because of the apprenticeship matter, Yun Xi has always regarded Brother Li as his opponent. If she has any plans, she should be directed at Li Jian." You're right, brother, why does the good guy want to plot against you again?"
"Not bad." Li Jian was also very curious after hearing this.
"During today's competition, I kept secretly watching Bai Lin and Yun Xi. Several times Bai Lin wanted to come out to challenge, but was stopped by Yun Xi. It seemed that he felt that the heat was not enough. Well, when the white disciple came out, Yun Xi Yun Xi seemed a little regretful, as if he was worried that if I were defeated by Bai Tu, then their plan would be in vain. I was curious at first, but then I figured it out. It was very simple. Yun Xi did this just for Bai Lin. She has put in a lot of effort, and I guess Bai Lin must not understand that he must have worked hard and put in a lot of effort for today's incident, but how did he know that Yunxi set up this trap just to let him in? You are defeated and humiliated in front of others!"
Yunxi was with Bai Lin almost every day. In the impression of the five people, from the day they met Yunxi, whenever they saw Yunxi, they would definitely see Bai Lin beside her. The relationship between the two There are also relatives, but Qian Chao said that Yunxi's plan was just to make Bai Linzhong lose and be humiliated, which is a bit puzzling.
Tang Ping blinked, seeming to realize something.
"Why?" Yanxuan asked curiously.
Qian Chao smiled and said:
"If my guess is correct, one day in the future, Yunxi and Bai Lin will become a Taoist couple. Alas, that guy Bai Lin will probably not invite us to drink and celebrate. But if that day comes, Yunxi must Thanks to my favor, after all, today... um... and there will be a grace test in the future, Bai Lin can only really work hard and make a difference if he is stimulated by failure... Haha."
Qian Chao's statement surprised several companions.
"Uh...Brother Qian is saying...that this couple can become a couple?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"Brother Lu, don't speak so harshly." Yanxuan said.
"hey-hey."
"Why not? And if Yunxi had no interest in Bai Lin, what happened today would not have happened," Qian Chao said firmly, "Think about it, I don't have any conflicts with Yunxi, but with Bai Lin, Even more so. In Yunxi's eyes, his opponent is Brother Li, who is also a sword cultivator, right? But in Bai Lin's eyes, there is only one Yunxi. Almost everyone in the sect knows this, and the two of them are They are cousins, so it is normal to form a Taoist couple, and neither the Yun family nor Elder Bai Gen will probably object. Brother Li, you have fought against Yunxi, what can you tell me about this woman Yunxi? What’s your impression?”
"This woman has means and scheming, but her temperament seems a bit biased, her mind is not very broad, and she lacks some tolerance for others. Well, that's all." Li Jian said.
Tang Ping heard this and said:
"I probably understand. What Mr. Qian means is that Yunxi can accept Bai Lin, probably because the Yun family and Elder Bai are well-matched, but she cannot tolerate Bai Lin being idle in the sect every day and not seeking to improve. temper, and even less likely to accept that his future Taoist companion is just a useless playboy. So what happened today seemed to be a plot against Qian Boy, but in fact, Yun Xi wanted to use Qian Boy's hands to make Bai Lin suffer a big loss and make him lose his temper. Once he's embarrassed, beat him for his dandy nature, and then use next year's 'Cheng Guan En Examination' as a guide to let him practice well, and then challenge Mr. Qian when the En Examination comes, right?"
Lu Pingchuan frowned when he heard this and couldn't help but said:
"How can there be such a mother-in-law who plots against her own man!"
Yanxuan smiled upon hearing this.
Tang Ping said again:
"This is a good thing, Brother Lu. That boy Bai Lin has a dandy mind and doesn't seek advancement. This is probably the only way to make him realize his shame and become brave again..."
"But..." Yanxuan said worriedly, "What if Bai Lin feels that he has been humiliated today and gets worse in the future, causing trouble for brothers everywhere? Or..."
Tang Ping said:
"No, this is not Yunxi's original intention. Yunxi wants his future husband to be successful, so why would he let him do whatever he wants? He will definitely persuade him to appease him. For example, if he thinks about Yixue's shame today, then Next year's 'Cheng Guan En Trial' is a great opportunity. As long as he takes the stage to challenge again and defeats Qian Chao openly in front of everyone in the sect, Bai Lin will definitely be a good man in the eyes of everyone in the sect, haha ! Mr. Qian, no one else cares about next year's grace test, at least this Bai Lin will definitely challenge you."
Li Jian snorted softly and said:
"Do you think that with just one year of hard work, you can defeat Brother Qian?"
Qian Chao also smiled and said:
"If he really challenges me, I will definitely go all out. If nothing happens, Bai Lin will probably be defeated by me. But, haha, Yunxi can let Bai Lin practice steadily for a year, and then he will be defeated again." After that, it's up to Elder Bai. Elder Bai has a good reputation. If Bai Lin loses again, he should take over... He can't watch his son really become depressed or completely become a playboy. "
Yanxuan said hesitantly:
"Is it possible that before the grace test, Bai Lin's elders, whoever they are, will come to Brother Qian privately because of this matter, either with coercion or inducement..."
Yanxuan meant that he was worried that the Bai family would force Qian Chao to lose the challenge in the grace test.
"No," Tang Ping said, "My sixth grandfather told me about Elder Bai's character. He still admired Elder Bai very much. He only said that Elder Bai seemed a little... henpecked. This is probably Bai Lin. Maybe it’s the reason why it’s like this. But after all, Elder Bai is still a sensible person. He will definitely not do this before the grace test in the future, nor will he allow others to do this. Today’s matter has caused enough trouble, Elder Bai Naturally, he will hear about it and understand that this is Yunxi's plan, but how can he miss such a rare opportunity to teach his son a lesson? Don't worry, Bai Lin's mother may be unreasonable, but Elder Bai will definitely not. He will Let Yunxi do the work first, and then if Bai Lin is defeated by Qian Xiaozi again in the favor test, he should take over the situation, so that he can have the opportunity to discipline his son."
"Hehe," Lu Pingchuan said with a smile, "That means Brother Qian can earn at least a thousand spiritual stones during the grace test, haha."
The things caused by Bai Lin ended here. Tang Ping thought of the Tian family again and asked:
"Boy Qian, people from the Tian family have come to the sect, what are you going to do next?"
"How to do it? What else can be done?" Qian Chao said calmly, "Is it possible to find an opportunity to kill them all when they go out? The sect lets them enter the Wuling Sect to contain the Tian family, then I You can't ruin the sect's plan because of your own affairs. It was Tian Shuangyou who took the initiative to provoke what happened today, so she suffered a loss. From now on, it's best to have nothing to do with each other and wait and see what happens. Oh, by the way, I remember The Tian family member who was talking to Senior Brother Fan called himself Tian Du, and he called Tian Shuangyou his little aunt. Well, before Tian Shuangyou started fighting with me, she said that among the people in the Tian family, her methods were second only to hers in Qi cultivation. A little nephew, does he refer to Tian Du? If it is really him, then this person is not simple. "
"I don't know. I'll go and find out during the two days you're recovering from your injuries."
"Oh, also, Brother Li found someone among the people watching the excitement today. It was the time when we and Luo Ying were blocked in the ruins. Brother Li said that person was the leader outside at that time. I remember After seeing his appearance, I turned around and quietly asked around, maybe I could get some news about the 'Yu Nian Meeting'."
"Um."
