"I understand, I don't need you to report it. How could I, Pan Dingsheng, not know that Cheng Yu was so arrogant in Qingzhou City? Now, let alone me, I'm afraid even the traders and lackeys in the market know about it."
In the hall of Pan Mansion in Qingzhou City, Cheng Lijun stood in front of the contemporary head of the Pan family with an embarrassed expression. Although he was not under Pan Dingsheng's orders, he still felt a little scared. The Pan family was a behemoth who had lived here for generations. The highest level you can walk around in is the Heavenly Realm, but there are who knows how many old monsters hiding in the three hundred-mile forbidden area behind the Pan family.
"It was Cheng who did not do his job well and failed to save Mr. Pan in time."
"I can't blame you. Hong Wei died in his hands. If we really fight against them, even I may not be able to protect him. Hong Wei has already reached the realm of transformation with his hard skills. He is only one step away from transforming." He transcended the ordinary world, stepped into the realm of heaven and humans, and was beheaded by the puppet, which shows how powerful the puppet is."
There was no emotion or anger on Pan Dingsheng's face, and he was as calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. This made Cheng Lijun feel more and more unsure.
"Master Pan, please give me your instructions on what to do next. Cheng will definitely cooperate with you."
"The Pan family only has one chance. Cheng Yu's safety is the most important. Remove the nearby soldiers. I want to trouble Commander Cheng to pass the message on his behalf. If he has any request, as long as I, the Pan family, can fulfill it, I will fully cooperate."
Cheng Lijun couldn't understand more and more, "This..."
"Does Commander Cheng have some clever tricks up his sleeve?" Pan Dingsheng asked with a smile.
"No, Cheng will go down first. If Master Pan needs anything, just give me your instructions."
"Thank you very much, Commander Cheng. I'm not a good boy, and I'm not good at academics. Instead, I have troubled you to travel all the way. I have arranged a butler outside the door to prepare a small gift for Commander Cheng. I also ask Commander Pan not to refuse."
Cheng Lijun looked embarrassed, "Cheng didn't help with anything, how dare he accept Pan's family master's things..."
"Commander Cheng is out of touch when he says this. Your soldiers are tossing people back and forth, eating what the horse chews. Which one does not cost money? If you refuse again, it will be rude, Commander Cheng."
"Mr. Cheng would like to thank Mr. Pan on behalf of his brothers."
The Pan family seemed to be just like what Pan Dingsheng had arranged. They didn't even have an informant outside Zuixianju. Cheng Lijun withdrew the few soldiers he was following, and Qingzhou City once again returned to its previous calm. Only occasionally In the teahouse, one could hear gossip about Pan Chengyu being picked into Qingzhou City like a dead fish.
"Why is Qingzhou City's number one genius like this? It really brings shame on me, the swordsman of Qingzhou."
"The number one genius like a dead fish? Haha"
"I have heard that the person beside Cao An is not a human at all, but a puppet. The boy's own strength is only a minion in the Three Scenery Condensing Qi Realm. Mr. Pan fell into the hands of the puppet."
"Pfft... If you want to say that Cao An can have a half-step to the Heavenly Realm or the Heavenly Realm, it won't be embarrassing, but he only has the Three Scenery Qi Condensation Realm."
"If we don't earn back this face, Qingzhou Wufu will have to lower his head when he goes out to face his martial arts colleagues. After all, isn't it just a three-view condensation realm? I am also a three-view, so challenging him Cao An is not too much, right?"
"Yes, I have found out everything. That boy lives in Zuixianju. I will guide my brothers and use Cao An's neck to wear his head to restore the dignity of our Qingzhou warriors!"
Similar situations were happening in every corner of Qingzhou City. A group of swordsmen from three scenes and four scenes came to the downstairs of Zuixianju in groups, sharing the same hatred and the same enemy, clamoring to challenge Cao An.
This scene of no less than a hundred people was truly spectacular.
Zuixianju, this is the tenth floor and the highest guest room. There are only four guest rooms. Except for the one where Cao An himself is staying, the rest of the guest rooms are empty.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and such a big thing happened."
The scenery from this location is excellent. You can overlook most of Qingzhou City from here. Xinyue changed into a white dress today and sat opposite Cao An. The two sat cross-legged opposite each other. On the table was a pot of good tea prepared by Zuixianju. , newly brewed, you can still see the light smoke rising in the sunlight, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.
On the other side, sitting on the chair was Pan Chengqiu, who was hopeless. If glances could kill, Cao An would have died thousands of times. His hands were tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was also sitting on the other side. Puppet Guan Yu, this is already the sixth day after entering Qingzhou City. After this period of brewing, the entire Qingzhou Wulin has been instigated by someone with intentions.
In that situation, it seemed that as long as he defeated Cao An, or killed Cao An directly, he would be able to honor his ancestors and dominate the martial arts world.
During these six days, Cao An didn't do anything. He asked the waiter in the restaurant to buy high-quality puppet materials, supplemented by the aged locust wood obtained from Locust Mountain. He made two level six puppets and three puppets. Level five puppet.
As for Guan Yu, as long as there is no high-consuming battle, the talisman in his body can easily replenish the 'standby' consumption.
"There is nothing in the world, and it is annoying to be disturbed by others. My original intention is to go to Qingzhou and see the jade. Who knows why this young master must follow me? There is even a feeling of unending death. This is the only way to do it.”
Cao An poured a cup of tea for Xinyue and said somewhat helplessly.
"Didn't you ask about the specific reason?" Xinyue looked in the direction Cao An pointed.
"I don't want to ask, it's nothing more than interests and things like face. The only thing that can be related to interests in Mr. Cao is probably the inheritance of this body's skills, or the inheritance of Yanshi. As for face, I think maybe I don’t have much personality, and complicated things are the easiest to confuse people’s minds. I don’t have enough talent and talents, so I can only do the things in front of me well, and I can only do the things in front of me well.”
Xinyue was thoughtful, feeling like something was about to be caught in her mind, but it was just a little short of it.
Subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Even she herself didn't know why she was asking this question.
Cao An's tone was calm, "If you have a thought in your heart, it will alarm the gods in all directions, which is the most hurtful thing."
Xinyue felt like a thunderbolt in her mind, and that light suddenly appeared, filling her entire sea of consciousness.
Yes, she knew that Cao An was different. He only did one thing. He didn't dream about things, and he didn't want to be a fool. There were no such things in his subconscious. He was like a dead axis, but he was still there. In many things, he is very smart and flexible, which cannot be summed up by a simple dead line.
In Taoism or Buddhism, this is called the purest nature. In the Sword Sect, it is regarded as a clear sword mind with complicated thoughts. People are often worried and troubled by many worries and cannot devote all their energy to one thing. Even if you really give up everything and focus on one thing, it is only on the material level.
His spirit was still confused, and his mind was still wandering.
He was still thinking about it.
"It's the most disturbing thing when you think about it. It turns out the truth is so simple."
Cao An smiled. People are different. Sometimes someone else's words can awaken a person or make a person realize something, but each person has their own gain. He didn't know what Xinyue thought. What he did, what he figured out, none of this mattered. After all, he and Xinyue were not walking the same path.
Moreover, some truths cannot be explained clearly.
As for Xinyue, she just wanted to understand one thing, and her cultivation was slightly loosened. Some of the unclear things in the skills taught by the divine sect were revealed soon, but this was still It wasn't the final answer she wanted to know by following Cao An. At most, it could only be regarded as a small gain in the process of getting the answer.
Everyone knows the truth, and everyone can even explain it. Just like the vast majority of people in the divine sect, when selecting internal members, they will say: People with a pure mind will practice Kung Fu faster.
But speaking it out is different from true enlightenment. You understand the truth, but you may not be able to understand it. Just like today, these are all things that are put on the surface in daily life. If you need to interpret it, as a divine cult The Great Protector Xinyue could have talked about this for an hour or two, and it would have been clear and easy to understand.
But she just doesn’t understand, she doesn’t understand!
Now, with Cao An beside him, with the real template of Cao An in front of him, by chance, he can understand it in one point and understand it instantly. Part of what Cao An did became reasonable in his own eyes.
Why don't you leave the Grand Commercial Road and insist on walking through the Sunset Mountains? Because in his eyes, it is a closer straight line. He will not think about whether it is faster to ride a horse or anything else. He thinks he wants to leave, so he leaves. Even if he later encountered obstacles from Huaimu Mountain, it did not affect his choice at all.
Why can he maintain that kind of curiosity about all things every day? Because in his eyes, it is all in the present. All his energy and mind are in the present, and he will not easily get distracted and think about other things, let alone other things. It is easy to notice everything fresh in the moment, and to detect differences that others cannot detect. Because they are different, they are all new. In his eyes, everything can be curious.
Everything can be wonderful!
Why did he never worry about his own cultivation? It was because he always only did what he should do at the moment. He never considered age or achievements. He was down-to-earth and patiently walked forward step by step.
The purest and most sexual!
"My choice to stay with you was indeed one of the wiser choices I made in my life."
"I am happy for you that you have gained some insights, although I don't know what you have gained. Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"
"Fellow Taoist?" Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on her lips, and then she responded.
"Thank you fellow Taoist, you are an amazing person. A great practitioner often said that practice is actually very simple. It means eating when you eat, sleeping when you sleep, and walking when you walk. I used to understand the principle, but I didn't really understand it. You really mean it, your words made me feel deeply!"
"Simple is simple, but how many people in the world can do this!" Xinyue sighed for no reason.
