After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 41 Quota
"...What did you say?!" Tao Yanyun looked at Luo Rufeng who was standing in front of her in disbelief.
"Apologize to Pei Yun."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and then they excitedly whispered to each other:
"This Luo Rufeng is trying to help his new love deal with his old love!"
"Luo Rufeng is really heartless. Tao Yanyun is his fiancée after all..."
"Tao Yanyun wanted to cancel the engagement herself, and she still expected Luo Rufeng to treat her well..."
"This little girl is really charming. Luo Rufeng, who usually doesn't like to talk to people, actually stood up for her..."
"Who is this girl? She is so powerful. She is only in the middle stage of foundation building, but she defeated Tao Yanyun who is in the golden elixir stage. She is definitely a genius!"
The children of the major families looked at the stalemate in front of them and said all kinds of things. Even Pei Yun was caught in their attention.
Pei Yun had no time to pay attention to anything else. The moment Luo Rufeng stood up for him, she stared at him in a daze, feeling inexplicably sour in her heart.
When she heard someone around her mention her name, she realized that there must be a lot of people paying attention to her at this time, and she lowered her eyes unconsciously to hide the strange emotion that was slightly leaking out of her eyes.
"Luo Rufeng...what are you talking about?" Tao Yanyun couldn't believe that the man she had loved for so many years actually asked her to apologize for another woman. Her eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes, "You want me to apologize to her? Why?"
"Rufeng! We have already apologized to the city lord and his wife." Although the head of the Tao family felt that Tao Yanyun was wrong, they had already apologized to the city lord. Pei Yun was not a member of the major families in Yongning City, and in fact, she had no qualifications to attend this dinner. As a major family in Yongning City, did the Tao family need to apologize to a person with low cultivation and no family background?
"You hurt Pei Yun, so of course you should apologize to her personally."
"Did I hurt her? Look at the two of us, who is the one who is hurt now?" Tao Yanyun walked forward excitedly and pointed at Pei Yun not far away.
"You didn't hurt her. You're not as strong as her and you're not as skilled as her. But you were the one who started the fight, so you should apologize to her..."
Tao Yanyun was stabbed in the heart by these words again, and tears immediately burst out of her eyes: "Rufeng, is it because our Tao family took the initiative to cancel the engagement that year that you want to..."
"You think too much." As soon as these words came out, someone around suddenly sneered, as if laughing at Tao Yanyun's self-conceit.
Tao Yanyun felt ashamed and angry as if she was being publicly executed. At this moment, she even hated Luo Rufeng in secret.
"Breaking off the engagement was a joint decision between the two of us. You did nothing wrong. But..."
Everyone was surprised to see that he didn't care about the humiliation of breaking off the engagement and even spoke up for Tao Yanyun. Even Tao Yanyun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
"But... Pei Yun is a disciple of my Yunshan Sect. You provoked my Yunshan Sect disciples in public today. Do you think that my Yunshan Sect is easy to bully?" Luo Rufeng waved his sleeves, and the golden sword suddenly flew in front of Tao Yanyun, ready to attack.
"…What if I don't apologize?" Asking her to apologize to Pei Yun was a great humiliation.
"You can try." Everyone could hear the threat and confidence in Luo Rufeng's words.
"Luo Rufeng, don't go too far. Do you think our Tao family is dead?" Tao Yanyun's second brother couldn't stand it anymore and walked out angrily.
Pei Yun couldn't help but walk out. She was really disgusted by the double standards of the Tao family.
"How dare you say that Venerable Rufeng is going too far! Tao Yanyun took advantage of her Jindan stage status to stir up trouble at the dinner party. When she failed to snatch the lanterns, she burned them. Why didn't you think Tao Yanyun was going too far at that time? Now that Venerable Rufeng is seeking justice for his sect's disciples, you think he is going too far instead. It turns out that only your Tao family is allowed to bully others, but not others to fight back, right?" Pei Yun mocked loudly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the Tao family with contempt and ridicule.
"How dare you, a bitch, talk nonsense and spread rumors about our Tao family? Look at me..." The second brother of the Tao family rushed towards Pei Yun with a sword in his hand.
"Stop!" said the head of the Tao family in shock.
How could Luo Rufeng let him take action? He raised one hand, turned his palm, and a sword light flashed. The second brother of the Tao family was thrown out with a "whoosh", and fell to the ground spitting blood.
"Luo Rufeng, how dare you attack my Tao family!" The eldest brother of the Tao family also came out.
"...Enough!" The head of the Tao family closed his eyes, feeling very tired. He looked around and knew that after this incident, their Tao family would definitely become the laughing stock of Yongning City. "Yanyun, apologize to this disciple of the Yunshan Sect."
"Dad!" Tao Yanyun couldn't believe that her father actually asked her to apologize to Pei Yun, and her resentment grew even stronger.
"If you don't apologize to her today, you don't have to go back to the Tao Mansion." The head of the Tao family didn't want to see people from other families pointing fingers at them anymore, so he ordered his eldest son to support his second son, and then he took the Tao family away, leaving Tao Yanyun alone.
Tao Yanyun stayed there alone in a mess, her hands tightly clutching her torn dress. She raised her red eyes and looked deeply at Luo Rufeng, then walked forward with her head lowered, without looking at Pei Yun. She only paused and said softly, "I'm sorry," when she passed by her. Then she left quickly.
The audience felt a little unsatisfied after seeing the farce ended so abruptly.
The Luo family greeted everyone as if nothing had happened, and it was a while before they said goodbye to the City Lord's Mansion and left.
Late at night, Pei Yun returned to Luo Rufeng's yard. Standing outside his door, he looked at Luo Rufeng's departing figure and could not help but call out softly, "Your Excellency."
Luo Rufeng turned around. Under the moonlight, the woman in red seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy golden light and shadow. Her bright face with picturesque eyebrows and eyes were staring at him without blinking. At this moment, Luo Rufeng was clearly aware that his heartbeat quickened by two beats.
"...is something wrong?"
"Thank you, Venerable, for speaking up for me just now." Pei Yun bowed to express his gratitude.
"...No need." Luo Rufeng pursed his lips, "In fact, you have done very well before. Even without me, you have sought justice for yourself today."
“But if… without the Venerable and the Luo family’s protection, I’m afraid the Tao family will not let me go.”
"So Pei Yun... you must be firm in your Tao heart, work hard to cultivate, and reach the peak with your own strength." Luo Rufeng said seriously, "The reason why the Tao family became a big family in Yongning City is because they have powerful cultivators. If you want to defeat them, make them afraid of you and dare not attack you, then you must be stronger than them and convince them with your strength... Remember, no one and no force can protect you for your whole life. As a cultivator, we can only rely on our own strength."
"Thank you for your teachings, sir. I will keep them in mind."
"...Go to bed early." Luo Rufeng nodded and turned to leave. Where Pei Yun couldn't see, he patted his chest and closed his eyes.
In the following days, she practiced harder, even refining less pills, and took the initiative to ask Luo Rufeng for swordsmanship. Now that she was close to Luo Rufeng, she could ask him for advice at any time. When she returned to Yunshan Sect, Luo Rufeng might not have time to teach her.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the competition to select the candidates to enter the Sword Pool in Yongning City. Pei Yun once again followed Luo Rufeng and Luo Qi to the competition square of the City Lord's Mansion. Because only Luo Rufeng and his apprentice practiced swordsmanship among the Luo family, and the others were not sword practitioners and did not need a place, so the Luo family only sent the three of them this time.
Of course Pei Yun and Luo Qi came purely to gain knowledge and watch the competition.
The competition square was concave in the middle with a circle of protruding stepped stands around it. The three of them found a corner with few people and sat on the stone steps with a better view.
There are a total of ten places to enter the Sword Pool this time. The competition method is not a one-on-one fight in a single arena, but ten people in one arena. First, a winner is selected, and then the winners fight together. The final ten winners are selected to get the places. The cultivators who participate in the competition must be the descendants of the major families in Yongning City, and their age cannot exceed 100 years old.
There were more than 300 people who signed up for the competition this time, and Luo Rufeng was the last one to appear.
As soon as he appeared, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Luo Rufeng hadn't returned to Yongning City since he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the cultivators in Yongning City had never seen him take action. Of course, the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago didn't count. That night, Luo Rufeng just waved his hand and the Tao family fell to the ground, and no one reacted.
Before the age of 100, there were still quite a few Yuanying-stage cultivators in Yongning City. In Luo Rufeng's round, there were two Yuanying-stage cultivators in the early stage. The other nine cultivators on the same stage with Luo Rufeng secretly thought they were unlucky to have run into him. Except for the two Yuanying-stage cultivators, the other Jindan cultivators were quickly eliminated.
The two Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other and decided to deal with Luo Rufeng together first. After eliminating Luo Rufeng, they would have the final duel.
The idea was good, but Luo Rufeng didn't even take out his sword. He just unleashed a few sharp sword beams, which disturbed their minds and eventually eliminated them.
Now, both the participating monks and the people in the stands couldn't help but take a deep breath. Luo Rufeng's strength was unfathomable! Some of them had seen with their own eyes that the young Luo Rufeng was rejected by the Yuejian Sect after being diagnosed with yellow-level spiritual roots. At that time, everyone laughed at the Luo family for having a useless son.
Who could have thought that the good-for-nothing kid back then is now the most outstanding swordsman in Yongning City, with extremely powerful strength.
Soon, the first round of competition ended, and thirty-five winners were selected. The second round was for these thirty-five to fight together on the ring. There was no need to defeat everyone. The last ten monks in the circle would get a place.
These thirty-five cultivators were all in the Nascent Soul stage, and except for Luo Rufeng, the others were all nearly a hundred years old. A Nascent Soul cultivator around a hundred years old could actually be considered very good, but compared to a genius like Luo Rufeng, it was really frustrating.
Luo Rufeng stood in a corner with his hands behind his back. Almost no contestants on the ring dared to approach him. Anyway, they just had to hold on until only ten monks were left. Why would they go and challenge Luo Rufeng and suffer the consequences? If they were not careful, they would be eliminated by him.
However, one cultivator came to Luo Rufeng with a sneer and said loudly: "Luo Rufeng, you are just a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Do you really think you are invincible? Today I will seek justice for my niece Yanyun and the Tao family..."
Hearing this, everyone became excited, and Pei Yunluoqi and the others also looked serious. They had not expected that the matter of the Tao family was not over yet.
The monks in the surrounding stands also began to whisper.
"This second uncle of the Tao family is exactly 100 years old this year. He has been in the early stage of Yuanying for many years. His strength cannot be underestimated..."
"Luo Rufeng is a genius swordsman who can leapfrog levels. It's more than enough to deal with him."
"If you ask me, Luo Rufeng shouldn't get involved with the Tao family. The Tao family has an ancestor in the Spiritualization Stage. He is just an ordinary disciple of the Yunshan Sect. Why would he stand up for a little girl..."
"The head of the Luo family is also in the Spiritualization Stage. If the Tao family dares to use a Spiritualization Stage cultivator to suppress Luo Rufeng, then their father will dare to fight back..."
Luo Rufeng remained as still as a mountain. In fact, after fighting with Ye Chi in Lingwu Mountains and purifying the Demonic Stone, he had already broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It was easy for him to deal with the Tao family members in front of him.
This was indeed the case. The second uncle of the Tao family did not use a sword, but a knife. His knife skills carried with them the perfect artistic conception of wind and the elusive knife intent as he slashed towards Luo Rufeng.
The people around felt as if they were in a gust of wind, as if they were about to be swept away by the hurricane. They quickly retreated, leaving room for them to fight and avoiding being affected.
Luo Rufeng raised his palm and stroked the air. Nine blue spirit swords transformed by sword spirit suddenly floated in front of him, easily blocking the strong wind and forming a sword formation, attacking the opponent on the opposite side. Before everyone could react, the second uncle of the Tao family was forced to retreat backwards by the sword formation, and was finally thrown out of the ring. His body was covered with sword marks and his clothes were soaked with blood...
There was silence!
Everyone silently looked at the miserable appearance of Uncle Tao's second uncle, and when they looked at Luo Rufeng again, their faces were full of horror and fear.
The monks who participated in the competition hid far away, fearing that Luo Rufeng would dislike them and attack them with his sword...
After a stick of incense, there was no suspense and Luo Rufeng stood on the stage till the end.
Lord Cao of Yongning City encouraged Luo Rufeng with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him the sword card for entering the Sword Pool.
Pei Yun and the other man stepped forward and happily welcomed Luo Rufeng back.
"Master, you are so amazing!"
"Yeah!" Pei Yun also nodded continuously.
Luo Rufeng glanced at the two of them, then handed the sword-shaped jade token in his hand to Pei Yun.
"Your Excellency, this is..." Pei Yun took the sword card in a daze and looked at him in confusion.
"This time, you will enter the sword pool."
"This, this..." Pei Yun didn't know what to say. It turned out that Venerable Rufeng wanted to participate in the Sword Pool competition for her. She was deeply moved, but she still declined. "Venerable, you and Luo Qi are sword cultivators. There are greater benefits to entering the Sword Pool. It would be a waste to give it to me..."
Pei Yun knew her own limitations. Her talent in swordsmanship was very average, and she could not comprehend the meaning of sword even after entering the sword pool.
"Junior Sister Pei, don't refuse. Master and I have already entered this sword pool once. The effect is best when you enter it for the first time. It will be difficult to make any breakthroughs if you enter it again later. You happen to be practicing the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique. Entering the sword pool can also help you comprehend this sword technique." Luo Qi explained.
"But Junior Sister is dull, even if she enters this sword pool, she may not be able to comprehend the sword's meaning..."
"Hahaha..." Luo Qi laughed out loud, "Junior Sister Pei, sword intent is not so easy to comprehend. Among those who entered the sword pool in the past, only a few were able to comprehend sword intent." Then he deliberately became proud, "Master and I are sword-cultivating geniuses, that's why we can comprehend sword intent so quickly. Do you think everyone in Yongning City has the talent that Master and I have?" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Rufeng knocked his head and glanced at him unhappily.
“I’m letting you enter the sword pool, not because I want you to comprehend the sword’s meaning, but…” Luo Rufeng’s strict teacher temperament came out again, “After you come back, I will examine whether your Nine Profound Gold Swordsmanship has improved. If there is no improvement…”
He didn't finish his words, but Pei Yun completely understood what he meant. His scalp tightened instantly. He wondered if it was too late to return the jade token to Venerable Rufeng...
