"Compared with three years ago, I should have...changed quite a lot, right? In fact, sometimes I myself feel that the person I was three years ago is just an illusion in my memory;
"Or maybe I'm having a dream right now."
"It's not that I don't want to say anything, it's just that I... don't know where to start, and I don't know what to say to you.
“After all, although I no longer hate you as much as I did before, it’s still quite strange to see that I will actually cooperate with you one day.
"Maybe I will tell you one day. I think you won't mind. After all, I am no longer a threat to you."
After Ling Linhan said these words, he shook his head and left.
Ling Yao sighed. After all, the brat has grown up and knows that there are certain things that can be said and things that cannot be said, so he is not so easy to deceive.
It’s just a pity that the gossip failed.
But the brat is a person who can't hide his thoughts on his face. Maybe he still has a subtle attitude toward himself, but he definitely doesn't have the ferocity of shouting and killing as before. Ling Yao believed this.
Ever since he entered the Cave Void Earth Tribulation, he has not had a serious battle with anyone.
Now it seems that it is not bad to let go and have a good fight with the monsters.
The people in Anqizhai are very anxious about this matter, and they have gained Lou Chuanyang's trust and Ling Linhan's guarantee. Thinking about it, the other people in the hunting team must also have confidence in themselves...
"Ha! You are the distinguished guest invited by Hanlin boy, and you are so valuable! How can I let you go to hunt down the Thousand Poison Spider King!!"
"But I'm actually here..."
"Hey, you're holding a sword, you look decent! But for a grown man to hold this thing, you look so effeminate! How can you kill prey like you!"
"ah????"
"Oh, that one looks like a showman at first glance, and he speaks in a polite manner, but he is really good at deceiving little girls."
"My face is enough to blend in with the flowers, but you are very sour."
"It seems that you are not envious. When he came that day, many girls in the village avoided looking at him..."
"By the way, didn't you say you haven't been back to Ruchuan for many years? You don't know much about the situation in Ruchuan now! There are more and more poisons in the forest, and we're afraid you won't be able to prevent it!"
"But Brother Chuanyang said..."
"You look so young, how can you compare with the rest of us who are crawling around outside! You can't go or go!"
"But Hanlin..."
"Oh! Don't look at Hanlin boy hanging out with us now. The first time he went hunting, he looked like he was vomiting something! We are going to rescue people this time, it's a big deal! We don't have time to take care of you!"
"That's right! Don't cause trouble to my hunting team..."
"Why are you talking to people! It's not to cause trouble, it's because you're afraid of something happening! Brother Yaolin, don't be discouraged. We'll take you with us next time when we hunt for fourth-level monsters!"
"Actually, I...sigh!"
Ling Yao felt helpless and covered his face.
It sounds like he was unlucky. Originally, cultivators below the rank of Prime Minister cannot conceal their aura, so under normal circumstances, others can see a person's level of cultivation at a glance.
On the contrary, people at Puxiang level and above can freely control their aura and prevent others from seeing their state.
And Ling Yao is now at the peak of Dongxu, already touching the edge of the Pure Phase Realm, and his aura has also converged.
But convergence is passive and cannot be controlled by him.
What's even worse is that this convergence is not stable. From time to time, he would show some movement, as if he were a illusory cave...
In the current situation, it is estimated that Ling Linhan only said that he was in the Cave Void Realm, but did not tell them his true realm.
Therefore, it is not incomprehensible for these people to think that they are just rookies in the Cave Realm, showboats who use swords to bluff people.
Moreover, although these people's words are not very nice, they are straightforward and have no inhibitions, and some of them also mix in some shady and weird arguments.
But Ling Yao could still tell that these words were more about the concern and concern of the simple men in the village for his "distinguished guest".
It's like an adult going out hunting and teaching a child who wants to follow.
——It's very dangerous outside, kids, don't run around.
But...he is still that angry! !
Just because he looks boyish doesn't mean he is a child!
After all, he is already twenty-three, how can he act more stupid than Ling Linhan? How can I bear this!
No matter how much my appearance doesn't match your rough-and-tumble aesthetics, I can beat ten of you one by one! ah! ! !
But because they were really kind, Ling Yao choked back all the curse words roaring in his heart.
If he really said these dirty words, they might start fighting among themselves before they even see the Thousand Poison Spider King.
He glanced helplessly aside.
Where is Lou Chuanyang! Where is Ling Linhan! Come out and speak for me!
However, Lou Chuanyang, who brought him to the hunting team to recognize his familiar face, left early because he was busy with many things;
The remaining stupid Ling Linhan also looked stupid at the moment. He could only dance around and say things like "Yao Lin is very powerful", "He is in the Cave Void Realm", "I can't beat him either"... …This kind of thing sounds like flattery.
So the immediate reply to him was a series of "You treat him as a big brother and brag about him, this is no joke", "Dongxu Realm is not a big deal, his breath is so weak", "Haha Haha, if you can’t beat him, just let him go”…
Well, these rough guys didn’t think that Ling Linhan was bribed by him to say good things, so that’s fine. How could they believe him...
However, Lou Chuanyang brought him here to build a good relationship with his peers, gain their recognition, and convince them of him.
It gives him a chance and a test. Let’s see if he has the ability to take on the important role of being the main force in this hunt.
After all, hunting is a team activity. No matter how powerful he is on his own, he still needs the cooperation of others.
But if he continues to lose his standing in front of the hunting team and is overwhelmed, Lou Chuanyang will eventually have to be moved out to save the situation.
Even if the matter is finally clear, he will still fall behind and make people look down upon him.
It is completely different whether these people actively cooperate with him because they recognize him as a person, or whether they reluctantly assist him because of Lou Chuanyang's face!
So he must seize this opportunity.
"It's empty talk. As it is now, I really don't seem to be convincing."
It seems that he can only use the simplest way to solve the problem.
"How about let's have a fight? Let your strength speak for itself, which is the most convincing.
"We're going to go hunting together in the future, so let's not break the friendship. Just do it, stop it, do it, stop it, how about it?"
Ling Yao weighed the sword in his hand and smiled with a "pure and harmless" look on his face.
"This is what you said! Come on! Let's meet the real chapter in the school field!"
"Sure! We Rukawa people like to talk with our fists!"
"If we want to fight, we must all be convinced! Then don't say that we are just playing tricks on you!"
"It's a donkey or a horse, let's pull it out and run around!"
Ling Linhan, who almost lost her hand.jpg: ...! ! !
do not! Why did you fall into the trap as soon as you got excited? How can you defeat him! !
"OK."
Then Ling Linhan turned his head and saw that the corners of Ling Yao's mouth were curved wider and wider, and he looked at himself with a raised brow...
Ling Linhan: Okay, I understand. I choose to shut up.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Anyway, the old thief Ling Yao will not really hurt anyone...
As for whether you get slapped in the face or poked in the butt, just ask for your blessings!
…
Anqizhai is particularly lively today.
The originally deserted campus was even more crowded than the banquet on the day when the distinguished guests arrived.
And the reason... is still the guest named Yaolin.
"Have you heard? Our village is going to deal with the Thousand Poison Spider King this time. For this reason, Brother Hanlin specially invited his friends from the Cave Void Realm to help. But it's unimaginable that those guys in the hunting team look down on him. Now I want to go to the school field to compete with others!"
"What! I clearly heard that it was the guest invited by Hanlin boy. Hearing that we were going to the Spider King, he wanted to go with them on a whim! The men of our hunting team were ready to beat him and let him go. He retreated when faced with difficulties!"
"Who did you listen to? It's obvious that that boy was so arrogant that he confused the eyes of the girls in our village and deceived their hearts! The people in the hunting team couldn't stand him and wanted to teach him a lesson. He knows that our girls from Anqizhai are not just easy to get!"
"But he does look good-looking..."
"No matter how good-looking they are, they are still not as handsome as our young village master and brother Hanlin!"
"Then why are you following us? Why are you wearing such a beautiful dress? Weren't you reluctant to wear this new dress before?"
"Oh, my, what are you talking about... let's go! People are about to start!"
Gossip and rumors spread fiercely, and it seems that everyone in Anqi Village, men, women, old and young, has an opinion.
But they all flocked to the school grounds to see how the "distinguished guest" could compete with the strongest and most powerful man in Anqi.
For a time, the streets were empty.
But in front of the railing on the top floor of the main village building, there were two people looking calmly at the surging crowd and the two groups of people at war with each other on the school field.
"Is this really okay? That Yaolin's aura is even stronger than yours!
"If you don't tell them, what should I do if those unprotected guys really piss people off?"
Among them, the man in the short-breasted jacket touched his chin and frowned, looking troubled.
Sitting opposite this man was Lou Chuanyang.
However, at this moment, Lou Chuanyang seemed leisurely and picked up the tea bowl unhurriedly:
"Since he is willing to return to Liuchuan, where he has not returned for many years, for an invitation from Han Lin, it shows that the relationship between Han Lin and him is indeed extraordinary.
"Although our man is rude at the moment, we won't let him hurt anyone or even throw away his sleeves. You can rest assured, Changshan."
The man named Chang Shan still looked dissatisfied:
"But it can be regarded as a small offence. Otherwise, he is a master of Dongxu Realm and comes to you to explain. Why bother to embarrass a group of Danyang Realm guys? It is simply a unilateral crushing!"
"Because he's better than me and a smart guy."
Lou Chuanyang smiled slightly, raised his head, and drank the tea bowl in one gulp.
"The boy in the hunting team obviously listened to my words, but he dared to find trouble with him. Naturally, he could think that I condoned this matter.
"If the experts in the hunting team are better than him, but I let them provoke Yao Lin, he will definitely be angry;
"But in fact, those boys couldn't beat him at all. If he really got on the school field, it would be the hunting team members who would be embarrassed.
“In this way, he established a prestige in front of the entire village and was recognized by the hunting team.
"It was precisely because he understood this that he just went with the flow. To be honest, he should be grateful to me for giving him such a good opportunity."
Chang Shan tilted his mouth and glanced sideways at Lou Chuanyang:
"Then how can you be sure that people can really understand your intentions?
"What if he just thinks that you are deliberately trying to mess with him, and now he just wants to regain his reputation?"
"That's okay. If things really get serious, Hanlin will stop him for me.
"And if he really doesn't understand, it means that although he has been living outside Rukawa for many years, he is nothing more than that and is not worthy of deep trust.
"Furthermore, even if it is a unilateral crushing, we can at least see how he performs. After all, realm does not completely represent strength.
"There are geniuses like Han Lin who can leapfrog and challenge fifth-level monsters in the middle stage of Danyang. Naturally, there are also hollow radishes like Dongxu who can't beat Danyang."
"That is to say, he is not from our Anqi Village, and he doesn't even plan to live in Liuchuan for a long time. That's why you dare to use this trick."
Chang Shan turned his head and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Otherwise, after this, your position in Anqi will be miserable. Hiss! Wow! How miserable! How miserable!"
Lou Chuanyang followed Chang Shan's gaze and saw an embarrassed figure flying out of the school field filled with spectators. He hit the ground one meter in front of the auditorium, causing the big man to cover his buttocks and scream in pain. .
"Hey——! Brother Shang, you are so embarrassed!"
"That's right! Aren't the members of your hunting team quite capable of fighting? This is already the sixth one!"
"That's right! I only use the scabbard to fight you! You can't even fight me!"
"I'm embarrassed? Are you going to give it a try?! Even the parents who beat you in custody won't recognize you!"
The big man stood up with a shameful face, cursed at the top of his lungs, and finally ran to the hunting team in dejection amidst the applause of the audience.
Chang Shan, who was watching from a distance, shook his head:
"The gap is so big that I really can't tell anything. I can only tell that he is indeed the master of the Changling Sword Sect, and he is indeed a master of swordsmanship."
"There are still dozens of people in the hunting team, so what's the rush? In a round-the-clock battle, there will always be times when he gets tired."
"You really plan to let people pick out all the members of our hunting team! How embarrassing! Even when Han Lin came here, there wasn't such a big battle! Are you really not going to come forward to smooth things over?"
"Hanlin is Hanlin, he is him, after all, they are different. We have to find out his details before we can decide whether he is worth making friends with, and what attitude we should use to make friends with him."
Lou Chuanyang was relaxed as he spoke, but he was staring intently at the extremely calm yet extremely high-spirited young man on the school field.
"No wonder he said he was immoral after drinking. The person he is now is indeed very different from the person he was after the banquet that day..."
But seeing that "Yao Lin" knocked the man out of the field with one blow, he turned around and flipped a flower with the scabbard of his sword.
His long sword was still unsheathed, but he waved directly to the hunting team, his tone was so calm that it seemed like a provocation:
"It's so tiring to wait, why not have a few more at once."
==Small Theater==
Ling Linhan: How dare I start a fight, how dare I speak, am I not afraid of being beaten along with it? (Weak, helpless, and increasingly cowardly)
