The Villain's White Lotus Halo

In the whole teahouse, the sounds of storytelling, booing, dropping chopsticks, and bowl cover all fell silent wonderfully.

The yelling and hawking on the long street drifted in through the carved window lattice, far away like the sound of another world.

But here, there was no discussion, and no eyes fell on them.

It was clearly standing in the middle of the stairs, upstairs and downstairs were full of guests, but they were deliberately shunned, giving them the illusion that there was no one else present.

In such silence, Zhong Shan shifted his body and went down two steps.

He was originally condescending, if he wanted to speak, Duan Chongxuan and Yin Biyue would naturally have to look up to him.

But he didn't.

He walked up to the same level as the two, turned sideways, and made a half salute.The posture is correct and standard.

Yin Biyue took Duan Chongxuan to return the gift calmly.

It was as if the whole teahouse breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Duan Chongxuan's brows could be unfurled, Zhong Shan spoke.

He was talking to Yin Biyue, his voice was a little sluggish, like the edge of a sword scratching a stone wall.

"I learned swordsmanship when I was four years old."

Yin Biyue was taken aback. This is... introducing himself?

He didn't know what the other party meant, but since the other party said it seriously, he should listen carefully.

So he nodded to show that he was listening.

Zhong Shan continued,

"I learned the first set of 'Swordsmanship' at the age of six, practiced Qi at the age of ten, and cut the marrow at the age of 14. I have achieved a small level of swordsmanship, and I am invincible under concentration."

There was an unstoppable gasp in the teahouse.

This talent is enough to make anyone proud.But Yin Biyue could feel that the person standing in front of him and speaking was just stating the facts without any intention of showing off.

This is true confidence.

True self-confidence does not need to show off to win the approval of others, because he recognizes himself.

"Before the age of 16, I always thought that I would become the disciple of the Juggernaut."

"pat-"

In the silent teahouse, someone in shock shook off the tea bowl, and the broken porcelain and tea spilled all over the floor.

Yin Biyue still didn't speak, even though the other party's words seemed to be provocative.

"The Juggernaut chose you instead of me, but I don't think you are better than me."

"It makes me jealous."

"Flower Folding Club, I would like to fight with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery fighting spirit surged out!

But the pressure of the realm is tightly controlled, and nothing has leaked out.

Yin Biyue looked at each other calmly.

He thought that he already had a little understanding of what kind of person Zhong Shan was.

He is not like the person who embraces Pu Zong, he will deliberately spread rumors behind his back, or move some treacherous hands and feet in the dark.

Jealousy is jealousy, unwillingness is unwillingness.

There is nothing shameful, just say it frankly and plainly.

I don't accept you, so I want to fight you.

Hit me if you have the ability.

Yin Biyue's eyes fell on Zhong Shan's sword again.

Dare to face his heart directly, even in a teahouse in a busy city, he speaks out what is in his heart like no one else, and doesn't care whether he will be slandered or ridiculed behind his back.

Perhaps only such a person can use this sword.

But Duan Chongxuan obviously didn't think so.

Before Yin Biyue could stop him, he had already spoken.

"Fight with Jun? Your realm is much higher than my brother, are you embarrassed?"

"According to what you said, I should be the most unworthy of being a disciple of the Sword Master, but I just did it. Why? No way, good luck. My father asked Mr. Zhang to write a letter and send me to Xihuafeng. I just go through the back door."

"What can I do? Draw my sword and kill myself and reincarnate again, or sever the father-son relationship with my father with a blood letter?"

Yin Biyue was startled.

Zhong Shan was also taken aback.

All the guests dare not show their atmosphere.

Then, Zhong Shan thought about it seriously, "What you said makes sense..."

"What's the point!"

A young man suddenly sprang out from behind Zhong Shan, wearing a splashed-ink landscape gown of the Qinglu Sword School, holding a sword in his hand, trembling with anger.

He has been following Zhong Shan, and has been standing on the stairs.

It's just that the few people who talked to him earlier were too powerful and glorious, and few people noticed him.

At this moment, he spoke suddenly, and everyone recognized him as Zhong Shan's junior brother from the same peak, 'Flying Feather Sword' Cheng Tianyu.

The young man said angrily, "My senior brother's cultivation base is high, it's because of his hard work! It didn't fall from the sky! Why are you so embarrassed! Even if your senior brother's cultivation base is short, so he is not as high as my senior brother's cultivation base, he is still born." Late! My brother was born early! No way, good luck!"

Cheng Tianyu was very angry.

Of course he couldn't intervene when the senior brother was talking earlier.There is only a place to stand behind.

But when he heard the senior brother say that the other party was right, he was so angry that he didn't care about any etiquette.

Yin Biyue thought to himself, it's broken.

He didn't mean to tear it apart at all, but the verbal battle came too quickly.Before he had time to react, the two pinched each other as if they had taken medicine.

He glanced at Zhong Shan, and found that Zhong Shan seemed a little... at a loss.

Cheng Tianyu, a bun-faced boy, became more and more angry as he talked, "You Xihuafeng people are really too much. Before your third senior brother Yan Xing insulted my Song senior brother without saying anything, now..."

"shut up!"

Everyone followed the sound and found that the door was actually Young Master Song of the Qinglu Sword Sect.

He didn't know whether it was because he was angry or because he came here in a hurry, his breath was slightly unsteady.

What is even more astonishing is that the first disciple of Cang Ya also came together.

Luo Mingchuan stood there with a solemn and dignified expression.

The moment Yin Biyue saw him, he suddenly felt relieved.

It's good if you come... If you come, you won't fight.

He really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of situation, now he can rely entirely on Luo Mingchuan.

After being scolded, Cheng Tianyu woke up suddenly, only to realize that he had said something embarrassing in public, his face flushed immediately, and he muttered, "Senior Brother Song..."

Song Tang said in a deep voice, "Come down."

Cheng Tianyu walked down silently, and Zhong Shan followed behind him.

Luo Mingchuan didn't say anything.

Yin Biyue led Duan Chongxuan down as well.

Duan Chongxuan was aroused by Zhong Shan's fighting spirit just now, and he couldn't choose what to say.Now that I calm down, I also feel a little ashamed and embarrassed, being surrounded by people like a monkey for so long.

So he stood behind Luo Mingchuan and pretended to be dumb.

Song Tang made a half-respect, "Young brother is young, so I must offend you."

Cheng Tianyu stood behind him, also lowered his head and pretended to be dumb.

Luo Mingchuan sideways avoided the salute, and returned the salute halfway, "Don't dare, it's my sect who offended me."

After the ceremony, the two calmly looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

For a moment, everyone in the teahouse thought that the tit-for-tat dispute on the stairs just now was just an illusion.

Yin Biyue and Luo Mingchuan walked out of the teahouse, running against the three members of the Qinglu Sword Sect.

Duan Chongxuan followed silently.

This feeling is like... two brats fought and were taken back by their parents.

Yin Biyue was taken aback by his fleeting thought.

There was nothing to say along the way, and I arrived at Qiuhu Courtyard, under Guang Yulan.

Luo Mingchuan turned around, and without mentioning what happened just now, he said to Yin Biyue, "The result of the lottery is out, Junior Brother, you have a bye."

The chattering attention was all diverted, "How come? Isn't it exactly 81 groups?"

Luo Mingchuan explained, "Before the lottery, one person abstained due to his serious injury. So there was an extra bye spot, and he went directly to the next round. It just so happened that no one got a junior."

Yin Biyue was stunned, he was actually promoted directly.This luck.

Duan Chongxuan said with a smile, "Fourth senior brother is indeed favored by heaven."

No no no, wait a minute, this is only the second round, now I have run out of character, what should I do next?

Luo Mingchuan said again, "Junior Brother Duan, Xu Guang, a disciple of Lianjian Sect, has drawn you. The first match will be in four days."

Compared with other sects, Lian Jianzong has more female cultivators. The entire 'Luoxia Peak' has female disciples, but generally there are more male disciples.

Duan Chongxuan had obviously heard of this person before, and said with a smile, "Lian Jian's spiritual cultivation. Just right, I also want to accumulate some experience in fighting spiritual cultivation."

Yin Biyue knew what he said, but he didn't intend to use foreign objects such as talisman paper, so he warned, "There are still a few days, so prepare well."

"Don't worry, Fourth Senior Brother." Hua Nao agreed, smiled at Luo Mingchuan, and went into the room.He could tell that Luo Mingchuan seemed to have something to say to his senior brother.

So there were only two people left in the courtyard.

Luo Mingchuan not only had something to say, but also something to give.

But looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Who did Brother Luo face?" It was Yin Biyue who spoke first, and he was indeed curious about Luo Mingchuan's next match.

Luo Mingchuan replied, "A Buddhist cultivator from Xingshan Temple. The third session will be held tomorrow."

There was another silence, relatively wordless.

Yin Biyue suddenly noticed that Luo Mingchuan's expression was a little abnormal.The roots of the ears are red, and the eyes are wandering.

...This won't cause heat stroke again, will it?

Because of practicing the Cold Water Sword, although he couldn't feel the heat at all, he could still tell that the sun was very bright today.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Luo, go back and rest. There is still a competition tomorrow."

"……it is good."

Luo Mingchuan turned around and took two steps, then turned around again, "Junior brother."

The wide sleeve robe fell down, covering the beads he was holding in his hand.His hand was tight and tight, and it hurt from the bead.

Yin Biyue was also about to go back, but stopped when he heard the words, "Huh?"

"...It's okay. You also have a good rest."

Luo Mingchuan returned to the room and sat down in front of the desk.

On the table was an exquisite round bead, shining dark red.

"Junior Brother, this is the Lihuo Orb, you carry it with you on weekdays, so you won't suffer from the cold air anymore."

Such a simple sentence, after thinking so many times, why can't I say it?

Since returning to Qiuhu together that day, he went to inquire about Li Huozhu.This kind of beads is produced in the crater of Donglu, which can drive away the cold air, and practitioners on the edge of the snowfield often wear them.However, the climate in Yecheng is warm and humid, and the winter is never severely cold, so Lihuozhu is naturally rare.Fortunately, I met Song Tang today, and I am familiar with Yecheng, so I can buy it on the black market.

On the way back, I saw many people gathered outside the Taihe Building, whispering to each other but not daring to go in.Hearing the commotion inside, he and Song Tang hurried over and saw that both of them were fine.

From the bystanders, he could see that although Zhong Shan had the will to fight, he had no malice.But Duan Chongxuan and Cheng Tianyu almost started fighting.

Regarding Zhong Shan's matter, he has made a decision in his heart, it's just a solution, and he can't tell his junior for the time being.

The winner of the Flower Folding Club can only be the younger brother.

No matter how difficult these things are, there are always clues and solutions, but...

Luo Mingchuan glanced at the beads on the case, why didn't he want to give it to his junior brother?

Because I feel that as long as I am always by my junior brother's side, I can dispel the chill for him, so there is no need?

Or... for some other reason.

Luo Mingchuan didn't dare to think about it, he always felt that if he continued to think about it, he would get an answer that he couldn't face.

So he got up and went to meditate.Meditate on 'Pure Heart Words', and then start practicing.

In a room across the court, Yin Biyue was also meditating.

Today he faced Zhong Shan's majestic fighting spirit, and felt that the barrier had loosened.

He knew that the current self was not enough to defeat Zhong Shan.

He wants to break the barrier.
