Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

Mingxiao woke up the next day with a severe headache. It was only after he circulated his spiritual energy through his body for several cycles that he felt better.

When he went to pay his respects to his master as usual, he found himself turned away.

The junior brother who passed by was holding a sugar man in his hand and looked at him with a gloating look on his face.

Ming Xiao didn't understand why, so he went up to ask his junior brother: "Master is angry with me, junior brother, do you know why?"

Lu Jinchao bared his big white teeth and said, "You spit on Master's favorite clothes. I'd be surprised if I wasn't angry with you."

Ming Xiao frowned and expressed his incomprehension: "It's just a piece of clothing, Master wouldn't be so stingy."

Lu Jinzhao shook his head and said, "Of course not for ordinary clothes, but that one is made of mermaid silk. You know mermaid silk, right? An inch of it is worth a thousand gold coins. It is priceless."

Mingxiao's face turned pale in an instant. He simply couldn't afford the compensation at the moment.

After watching the show, Lu Jinzhao smiled and walked downstairs on his short legs to find food.

"You're so childish." Chitose floated beside him, pondering, "You're like that girl who doesn't like her best friend's girlfriend and wants to break them up whenever she gets the chance."

"What's wrong with being childish? I'm a three-year-old kid now. You can say that, but a girl's best friend is definitely her lifelong enemy." Lu Jinzhao took a bite of the candy man and said, "My daughter is the best girl in the world, so I can't let her get away with it."

Qiansui stared with round pupils and said seriously: "But I think you are the best girl in the world."

Lu Jinzhao stopped and looked at Qiansui seriously: "You can't coax me into giving me cat cans, and you haven't lost any weight yet."

Chitose: “…” I’m impressed. You’re really good at ruining the atmosphere.

Lu Jinzhao quickly came upstairs with a plate of homemade exquisite fruit. Seeing Mingxiao still lingering at the door of Suiguanxian, he deliberately knocked on the door: "Master, it's me."

"Squeak--" the door opened.

After Lu Jinzhao went in, the door closed again in front of Mingxiao.

Inside the house, Sui Guanxian, with his long hair untied and all combed back, was wearing a thin gauze dress, leaning on the couch and flipping through a book about the human world. He glanced at the fruit plate, picked up the small copper fork on it, poked a piece of melon and put it into his mouth.

Lu Jinchao saw this and catered to Sui Guanxian's taste by buying him several sets of online literature masterpieces from the system mall and handed them to Sui Guanxian: "I have read all the famous books in my world. The content is quite good. Would you like to take a look?"

Sui Guanxian took it out out of curiosity and took a look. Not only could he not understand it, but he was also not used to it. His usual reading habit was to read vertically from right to left, but the ant-sized characters were read horizontally from left to right. He lost interest after taking a look at them.

It's not that Lu Jinchao was careless, but he really couldn't buy the modern novels in the Shuijing Continent version. Qiansui hurriedly patched up his host's behavior of gaining favor, quietly bought the Mandarin A-level skill for Sui Guanxian, and then stretched out his claws and placed them on the back of Sui Guanxian's hand.

Feeling the strange vibration coming from where the kitten touched him, Sui Guanxian paused for a moment, and found that he could understand those words. He accepted them well, "You are suddenly courting me. Do you want to ask me something?"

Lu Jinzhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "Rather than being attentive, it's better to say that I'm making up for my guilt."

"Oh? What are you feeling guilty about? What bad things did you do behind my back?"

"Regarding the fact that I secretly arranged a partner for you, uh, a Taoist partner... It felt like an arranged marriage... I have tried my best to break it up..."

"I thought it was nothing." Sui Guanxian chuckled, "What you call the setting is one thing, whether he can really become my Taoist partner is another. You don't need to feel guilty about such a small matter."

"You should know that I am fully capable of deciding my own destiny. If I choose him, it is because he has something that attracts me. No force can forcefully manipulate my will."

Chitose: "Strong and confident people are really awesome."

Without waiting for Lu Jinzhao to answer, Rong Ying knocked on Sui Guanxian's door. After getting a response, he strode in, followed by Cheng Yuanyuan and Li Xing.

Mingxiao waited respectfully outside the door. Since his master didn't allow him to come in, he didn't dare to go beyond the door.

Cheng Yuanyuan smiled and bowed: "Yesterday, it was agreed that I would treat you all, but I ended up getting drunk first. I lost my manners in front of the distinguished guests. I'm really sorry. Today's competition is about to begin. Do you mind having another meal with me?"

"I don't mind." Lu Jinzhao stretched out his hand and used the book to cover the upper half of Sui Guanxian's face. He moved his fingers slightly, and the shark silk belt placed aside automatically flew to his eyes and fastened it. Then he continued: "Why don't we host a banquet for Miss Cheng and Miss Li today? It can be regarded as a courtesy."

Cheng Yuanyuan noticed this and spoke cautiously: "It may be a bit presumptuous to ask this, but if you have an eye disease, you can tell me. My Cheng family has some connections in Guangting and may be able to treat you."

Sui Guanxian raised his hand to tie up his hair and said with a smile: "Okay, I have a prescription here. I also need ten dragon bone vines, three polar hands, and one fire heart seven leaf flower. If Miss Cheng is willing to help, I will be very grateful."

Cheng Yuanyuan was confused. What the hell is this? I've never heard of it before!

Li Xing fumbled and took out a pen and paper and wrote it down: "Please rest assured, senior, we will send someone to inquire about it after we return."

Lu Jinchao looked at the two of them with sympathy. Those things were only available in Jiuzhou Continent, and Shuijing Continent might not have them. Where could they find them?

What's more, Sui Guanxian didn't have any eye disease at all, he definitely wanted to play a trick on them.

Chitose commented: "Like mother, like daughter. Both are bad-hearted."

After breakfast, the six of them set off together. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women always attracts attention when walking on the street.

A little girl, covering her face with her sleeves, ran over hurriedly, stuffed a few fruits into Sui Guanxian's arms, and ran away shyly.

Sui Guan had lived an idle life for many years, but he had never seen a woman stuffing food into a man's mouth on the street. He felt a little dazed as he held the fruit in one hand.

Subconsciously, he thought that an enemy had poisoned the fruit, but the fruit looked normal, and ordinary poisons were useless to him.

It was the first time Rong Ying saw him in such a daze. He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Master, don't be surprised. We have this custom here. If a woman sees a man she likes on the street, she will throw a handkerchief or some fruits to him. When a man receives a gift, he doesn't need to respond. It's just a symbol of charm. If someone throws you some food, it's better not to waste their kindness."

Sui Guanxian nodded and stuffed the fruit into Rong Ying's mouth. "In that case, you can eat it."

The group was walking slowly at first, and the number of times Sui Guanxian was fed increased in direct proportion to the distance he walked. Rong Ying was holding a large pile of food in his arms, and he said with a bitter face, "I really can't eat any more, don't throw it to me anymore."

Lu Jinzhao shook his head vigorously, indicating that he couldn't eat anymore.

Even Chitose burped.

Ming Xiao had no choice but to put all the food into his Qiankun bag.

Cheng Yuanyuan and Li Xing on the side laughed all the way.

As Lu Jinzhao hurried on his way, he wondered in his heart whether he should prepare a hat or a mask for Sui Guanxian, otherwise he was afraid that every time he accompanied him out, there would be a scene like the one just now.

On second thought, even with his eyes blindfolded he could still attract so many admirers. Perhaps only by giving Sui Guanxian a full furry headgear could he block out all that extra charm.

Soon, the four arrived at the competition venue. Mingxiao and Rongying went to register with their business cards in hand with mixed feelings.

In the stands, Duan Xuan waved to Cheng Yuanyuan and the others from a distance, indicating that he had reserved seats for them. Cheng Yuanyuan pulled Li Xing over and took their seats, and they immediately started chatting animatedly.

Sui Guanxian held Lu Jinzhao's hand and walked slowly over there, the fan flipping back and forth between his fingers, which was dazzling.

"Young brothers and seniors are here too." Duan Xuan greeted with a smile.

After the two of them reported in, they took a shortcut and climbed up from the waiting area. When they heard Duan Xuan's words, they thought this man was a little strange.

Duan Xuan could see Cheng Yuanyuan clearly from such a distance, but could he not see Sui Guanxian who was the focus of everyone's attention?

Rong Ying narrowed his eyes and smiled, patted his chest and said, "And me, I'm here too."

Duan Xuan was very cooperative, and bowed to them as if he had suddenly realized something, "Brother Rong Ying, Brother Ming Xiao, please show mercy when we meet on the field later."

"Okay, okay." Rong Ying returned the greeting: "Brother Duan, please also show some mercy."

At this moment, three figures stepped on the same magic weapon in the air. Ming Xiao looked up and saw a beautiful girl in the front, wearing gorgeous clothes. Behind her stood a young man and an old man, who should be her guards.

"Princess Biyun is here!"

"Isn't that the Great Hero Chang Sun and the Venerable De?! I didn't expect them to be here too!"

There was a sudden commotion in the audience, with everyone discussing the unexpected visitor.

The organizers of the conference even brought them directly to the VIP stands.

Princess Biyun sat down and looked through the French window at Ming Xiao and Sui Guanxian on the other side of the stand. She asked the guards behind her, "Is that the young master above level 5 that you reported? Beside him are the two young men who reached level 2 at the age of 18?"

"To reply Princess Biyun, yes, yesterday many soldiers, including me, witnessed him flying in the air with his magic weapon."

Chang Sun Yi snorted disdainfully, expressing his disbelief. He knew all the fifth-level masters in the entire East Continent, but he had never seen such a pretty boy.

The old man who was called the Venerable was stroking his beard expressionlessly. With his eyesight, he couldn't even tell the realm of the young man. He frowned, glanced, and an invisible pressure attacked Lu Jinzhao and others.

The pressure disappeared halfway, and the Venerable was extremely surprised. However, he could not locate the person who attacked him, and was not sure whether it was related to the young man.

Lu Jinzhao noticed that Sui Guanxian's fanning action had paused for a very short moment, as if one frame was taken out of the original 60-frame picture. Coupled with the inquiring gaze that made him feel like a thorn in the back, he grabbed Sui Guanxian's sleeve and opened his mouth to speak, but Sui Guanxian sealed his lips with the fan, and finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Sui Guanxian curved his eyebrows, pointed at the people competing on the field, and said to his little disciple: "Look at them, they have to shout out their moves when they fight, could it be that they are practicing a martial art that allows them to perform actions as they speak?"

Mingxiao chuckled. He didn't expect that Sui Guanxian could joke.

Cheng Yuanyuan saw the master and his disciples whispering to each other and wanted to listen to what they were saying, but after hearing Qing Sui Guanxian's words, she did not laugh out loud, but started thinking seriously.

"You're right. Why do these people have to shout out their moves when they fight? They use fancy names for this punch and that kick, and they seem to be very powerful, but in the end, they don't really have much power. It's embarrassing to watch."

Li Xing couldn't keep up with the group's train of thought, so she gave a tactful reminder and soon it was Duan Xuan's turn.

Duan Xuan played early yesterday, so naturally he had an early chance to draw lots after winning. Today, he drew lots early, and his match was very close to Ming Xiao's. He dusted himself off, stood up and went to get ready. Seeing this, Ming Xiao also stood up and went to wait with him.

On the stage, Duan Xuan met a strong enemy. The two fought for hundreds of rounds, but it was still difficult to determine the winner.

Someone in the waiting area spoke up: "Isn't that the young master from the Bai Mansion?"

"The one known as the genius of our family? Bai Chao?"

"Yes, that's right, it's him!"

Ignoring the noise outside the venue, Ming Xiao could tell at a glance that Duan Xuan had tried his best, while the young master of the Bai residence was obviously at ease.

The outcome of this game is already clear, unless Duan Xuan has a backup plan.

Just at this time, the organizer sent someone to the waiting area to notify us.

"Number one hundred and forty-five! Number twenty-six! Stage eight, get ready to go on stage!"

Duan Xuan's match result has not yet come out, Ming Xiao must play.

He and No. 26 went up to the stage one after another. The host reserved time for the two to say harsh words to each other, but Mingxiao didn't want to say anything. There was no point in mocking someone who he would only meet once.

The other party seemed to be a taciturn person as well. The two of them were speechless and successfully silenced the host.

The host laughed and said, "Since both of you are quiet, let's just get started."

At the command, the opponent attacked at high speed.

Ming Xiao barely dodged the opponent's knife and threw an elbow, but No. 26 blocked it with his arm and the elbow hit the opponent's wrist guard.

Fortunately, this person did not put spikes on his wristband, Mingxiao was happy.

The opponent took out a weapon, which turned out to be a double-handed hook. Ming Xiao poured his spiritual power into his palms and fought back and forth with him, ready to end the game with a palm when Duan Xuan's result came out.

His interest was ended by a loud noise.

The explosion came from the central arena. The dust cleared, leaving a huge dent in the ground with a diameter of a hundred feet. In the dent lay the unconscious young master of the Bai family. Duan Xuan fell against the edge, trembling.

The venue was mostly destroyed, so the competition could not continue. Especially since the son of the first-class Bai family was seriously injured and unconscious, the organizers needed to give an explanation to the Bai family and announced that the competition would be postponed for the time being.

No one expected that a martial arts competition would have so many twists and turns.

Everyone went back home to look for their mother.

Duan Xuan was detained by Princess Biyun for his cheating, which caused serious consequences. Cheng Yuanyuan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and went back home first, probably to see her father to see if the matter could be resolved.

Number 26 had long disappeared, and Ming Xiao was too lazy to stay any longer. He ran back to the stands and looked around. Only a few of his fellow apprentices were left on the stands. Sui Guanxian was seen sitting with his legs folded, one hand on his forehead and the other fanning himself, looking very calm.

It was as if he had known this would happen.

Back at the inn in the blink of an eye, Lu Jinzhao raised his doubts and asked, "Duan Xuan used other props to cheat and would be disqualified from the competition. What on earth was he so confused that he wanted to kill Bai Chao?"

"Mingxiao," Sui Guanxian hooked his finger, "Come here."

The eldest disciple followed his instructions and walked over. Sui Guanxian hooked his hand again, and the translucent stone hanging around his neck floated out and landed in his palm. He showed the strange stone to the third disciple and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Lu Jinzhao took it and looked at it for a while. He felt that there seemed to be energy hidden inside the stone and said, "It looks like a crystal left behind by some dead creature."

Sui Guanxian: "Yes, this is a fragment of the Dharma body left by a True Immortal cultivator in Jiuzhou Continent. I don't know why it appeared here. However, I have also seen a piece on Duan Xuan."

"I don't know what the cultivator's purpose was. Anyway, the fragments of his Dharma body he left behind contain a lot of resentment. When the holder has evil intentions or extreme thoughts, it is enough to induce the holder to become a demon. Duan Xuan must have been affected by this thing to some extent."

Rong Ying: "Possessed by a demon? Will my brother be affected by it?"

"I have purified his, so there is no need to worry."

Qiansui: "I see. That's why you allowed Cheng Yuanyuan to get close to you, right? Wow, it feels like I've opened up some branching storyline in the game."

Except for the host himself, others often don't understand some of the words it says, so they don't respond. Lu Jinchao looked at Mingxiao: "Big Brother, where did you get this from?"
