The owner of the Wang family, Wang Ye, who had not been out for a long time, also changed into a white gown today. Following the white-haired butler, he stood quietly behind a group of monks and people who were watching the fun.
In order not to attract attention, the two of them did not even say hello to Situ Tianxing, nor did they think of sitting on the viewing platform to choose the best seat.
They just wanted to not attract attention and quietly watch this battle that was of great significance to the Wang family.
These monks in Loulan City and the people watching the excitement only knew that the monks from Tianlong Holy Land were great.
Only Wang Ye, as the owner of the Wang family, knew that the owner of the apricot garden was definitely not a simple character.
If he dares to build a small courtyard on the ruins of the Chen family, and can persuade the Lord of the City to help, he will not be any worse than the young people of Tianlong Holy Land.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to make a promise to Duanmu Qingyun and provide him with 20,000 spiritual stones for trial use.
Although the Wang family may now face the wrath of the female saint from deep in the snow-capped mountains, he cannot let others take advantage of the Chen family.
The butler standing behind him hesitated for a moment and then asked quietly: "As the head of the family, I can sit on the viewing platform."
Wang Ye, who had a gloomy look on his face, shook his head and said softly: "We can't attract people's attention."
After the housekeeper was silent for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu Qingyun, who was sitting quietly on the futon on the high platform.
It was found that even under the gaze of hundreds of people, this young monk from Tianlong Holy Land still maintained a calm face and was not moved at all by the comments under the high platform.
The city lord's palace had previously spread the news of today's Sishi competition, and half an hour has passed by now.
The legendary owner of the apricot garden never showed up. The monks and people below the high platform were talking a lot. Some people were saying that the owner of the apricot garden was more prestigious than the city lord.
After all, the city lord is already sitting on the viewing platform, quietly looking at the young man in a white shirt on the high platform, but the protagonist who is being challenged has not yet arrived, which inevitably makes people feel unhappy.
The housekeeper looked at Situ Tianxing on the viewing platform and couldn't help but asked softly: "Master, do you think the owner of the apricot garden will come?"
Wang Ye snorted softly and said coldly: "The city lord has received the spiritual stone from Tianlong Holy Land. That guy doesn't dare not come."
In his opinion, Situ Tianxing was still in charge of Loulan after all. Even if the owner of Xingyuan had any backing, he would not dare to offend the Lord of Loulan.
The housekeeper frowned, and his white hair was messed up by the spring breeze, so he had to reach out to straighten the messy hair on his forehead.
He said thoughtfully: "According to the analysis of the family head, that guy really doesn't dare not to come. After all, he will live in Loulan City in the future. Is it possible that he can still disgrace Master Situ?"
While he was talking, there was a slight noise outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The sound of the carriage's wheels hitting the bluestone was heard next, and the coachman was heard shouting for the carriage to stop.
Before a moment, a black figure slowly walked in under the gaze of hundreds of people.
...
Outside Loulan City, in the morning breeze, there were two carriages running briskly.
After collecting the spirit wine, Meng Shentong took Ping An and Xiao Ling'er, Nalan Ruoyu took Chen Xiaoyan, and the group left Tianyun Mountain and came all the way to Loulan.
Xiao Ling'er clamored to take Ping An to eat the most famous beef noodles in Loulan City, and Ping An wanted to see her elder brother's new home here.
Meng Shentong thought about seeing his disciple again, wondering if he had already completed the fifth turn of Phoenix Nirvana.
Just as he was about to enter the city in the spring breeze, he learned shocking news from the chatter of the guards. The owner of Loulan Apricot Garden would soon accept the challenge from the monks of Tianlong Holy Land.
Moreover, the lottery prize is 20,000 spiritual stones, which is a large amount of money for the monks in Loulan City.
The owner of the apricot garden accepts the challenge?
Meng Shentong's mouth moved and he said to Nalan Ruoyu who was on the carriage behind him: "It seems that guy has come back. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to watch the excitement."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Ruoyu laughed angrily: "This guy, since he came back, didn't even send us a letter!"
Meng Shentong sighed and said leisurely: "Maybe he wants to be alone for a few days and thinks we are too noisy."
Ping An pulled his sleeve and smiled: "Grandpa Meng, is my eldest brother back?"
Xiao Ling'er, who was sitting aside, looked at him and shook his head, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Didn't you hear Grandpa Meng say that we are going to the City Lord's Mansion to watch the excitement?"
Chen Xiaoyan on the other carriage was shocked. She looked at Nalan Ruoyu beside her and asked, "Master, has the senior brother returned to Loulan?"
Nalan Ruoyu smiled lightly and said, "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a look. Then we'll know, right?"
...
Li Xiuyuan stepped into the city lord's palace, still wearing a black shirt that looked like night.
Looking at the young man sitting quietly on the high platform from a distance, he had the illusion that his opponent today was not the monk from Tianlong Holy Land, but Gongye Wuji from Qiuyun Mountain.
Li Xiuyuan, who was under the high platform, felt the cold aura emanating from his opponent, which made him feel disgust from the bottom of his heart.
This reminded him of the black snake under the abyss. Only the aura of the black snake was so cold and unpleasant.
Because he did not say hello to Situ Kaixing on the viewing platform, no one on the high platform knew that the young man in black was the owner of the apricot garden.
Even Duanmu Qingyun on the high platform, the master and servant of the Wang family hiding behind the crowd, and even more monks were baffled by this young man who suddenly walked out.
Only Situ Tianxing on the high platform saw Li Xiuyuan walking slowly and made eye contact with him.
That means I'm here to watch and no one dares to cause trouble.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and walked around the crowd under the high platform. Amidst the arguments and hundreds of thousands of people, they were stunned.
Step by step, walk up the platform.
The master sitting next to Situ Tianxing quietly looked at Li Xiuyuan who was walking up to the high platform, and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, who do you think will win today?"
Situ Tianxing said calmly: "Of course he is my guest."
The master was startled, and then said: "But he clearly looks like a guy without spiritual veins?"
Situ Tianxing looked back at him and said quietly: "Because he is the owner of the apricot garden."
The master suddenly thought of what Princess Phoenix and others had said before, and suddenly shuddered.
He whispered: "It seems that adults still have discernment."
Li Xiuyuan walked up to the high platform step by step, and then saw the young man sitting on the futon.
In his eyes, young men are like dragons entrenched on a high platform. Anyone who dares to step onto the high platform will become his prey.
He knew that this man came from Tianlong Holy Land and sat in meditation outside the Apricot Garden for most of the spring in order to challenge him. He also knew that this man was Duanmu Fei's senior brother.
In order to prevent accidents from happening, Situ Tianxing asked the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to isolate the monks and common people who were watching the fun on a high platform, leaving enough space for the two competing.
As Li Xiuyuan stepped onto the high platform step by step, the city lord's palace clearly had no intention of intercepting him.
As a result, both the dignitaries on the viewing platform, the monks and common people under the high platform, and the idlers climbing up the trees all screamed in surprise.
No one expected that today's protagonist would be the owner of the apricot garden who had made them wait for nearly an hour.
It turned out to be a fourteen-year-old boy.
The young man walked up to the high platform step by step, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard. There was no trace of anger, which surprised the onlookers.
Duanmu Qingyun, who was sitting on the ground, watched the young man walk onto the high platform, stood up and looked at him quietly.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing their clothes.
One is as white as snow, and the other is as dark as night.
Duanmu Qingyun, who had been waiting outside the apricot garden for most of the spring without a single complaint, never expected that his opponent would turn out to be a young man without spiritual veins.
The young man came without even a trace of murderous intent. If Li Xiuyuan's face wasn't calm and calm, he would have even shouted that this is not a place where a guy like you can come.
Looking at this mortal-like young man, Duanmu Qingyun looked a little angry.
He waited for most of the spring, but he didn't expect that what he waited for was just a young man without murderous intent.
What made him most angry was not this, but why would such a young man want him to pay 20,000 spiritual stones before he would come forward?
However, seeing that the city lord on the high platform did not scold him, he could not lose his etiquette.
After clearing his throat, Duanmu Qingyun asked quietly: "Are you the owner of the apricot garden?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied quietly: "You can ask him."
After saying that, he turned around and bowed his hands to Situ Tianxing on the viewing platform, completing the etiquette before the competition.
Duanmu Qingyun suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand to put away the futon on the ground.
He also turned around and bowed his hands to Situ Tianxing on the high platform, and asked loudly: "Lord City Lord, what are the rules for today's competition? Can I make them?"
There was an exclamation under the high platform, hundreds of people whispered about the matter for a moment, and then fell into a deathly silence.
The young man walking up to the high platform shocked them greatly, and judging from the attitude of the Lord of the City on the viewing platform, it was clear that he had known the young man walking up to the high platform for a long time.
The owner of this legendary apricot garden!
Everyone had previously speculated that the master of Loulan Xingyuan must be a powerful monk comparable to the city lord in order for the prodigies of the Holy Land to challenge him.
But he never expected that the one who finally stepped onto the high platform would be a young man who was no different from ordinary people.
What shocked them was that such an inconspicuous young man turned out to be the owner of the apricot garden built on the ruins of the Chen family.
Is it possible that there is a powerful backer behind the young man, so powerful that even the city lord has to admit his existence?
For a while, after some discussion among the monks who were watching the excitement, thinking about the power of the Holy Land, everyone no longer believed that the owner of the Apricot Garden could win today's competition.
Only the master and servant of the Wang family looked at the young man on the high platform and fell into silence.
Like the monks here, no one of them had seen the owner of the Apricot Garden before today.
Except for Situ Tianxing, who was sitting peacefully on the viewing platform, no one knew before that the owner of Xingyuan was actually just a mortal without spiritual veins.
A young man with a face as gray as a charcoal head.
"How do you want to compete?" Situ Tianxing on the viewing platform looked at Duanmu Qingyun and asked quietly.
Duanmu Qingyun thought that he had waited for all the flowers to wither, only to find an inconspicuous young man as black as coal, and resentment suddenly arose in his heart.
Looking at Situ Tianxing on the auditorium, he couldn't help but raise his voice by two points.
He said quietly: "I have also handed over the 20,000 spirit stones needed for the competition. These spirit stones can be used to buy a large property in Loulan..."
"So? What do you want?" Situ Tianxing did not expect that Duanmu Qingyun seemed to be a different person today, and did not take him seriously at all.
Duanzheng Qingyun did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the young man who was only five feet away from him.
Duanmu Qingyun looked at Li Xiuyuan and said coldly: "I have been waiting here all spring."
Li Xiuyuan did not look into his resentful eyes, but looked at the only flowers left on the branches in the city lord's mansion.
He sighed and said leisurely: "Spring passes like running water, who can keep it? Tell me, what do you want?"
Duanmu Qingyun said coldly: "Two options, either you give me 40,000 spirit stones, and I will leave Loulan City immediately."
When Li Yuan heard this, his voice suddenly became a little colder, and he asked quietly: "Then what?"
