Fire Captain

The four of them were chatting and laughing… well, just Bai Ziyang and Sheng Xiaomo were chatting and laughing, when they heard someone shouting, “Zihua!”

Bai Ziyang turned around and saw it and shouted: "Oh my god!"

Sheng Xiaomo said: "Damn you!"

Bai Ziyang stood next to Sheng Xiaomo and said, "It's only been a hundred years since we last met. How did Fairy Zixun become like this? Time is really a butcher's knife!"

Sheng Xiaomo waved a folding fan gracefully in one hand, and covered Bai Ziyang's mouth with the other hand.

Xia Zixun didn't even look at Bai Ziyang. Anyway, the two of them disliked each other and would always make sarcastic remarks whenever they met. Now she was too lazy to argue with him and turned to Mo Yan and said, "Buddha, can the course I teach be arranged properly?"

Mo Yan said: "Everything has been arranged, thank you for your concern, Fairy!"

Xia Zixun said: "It's okay, I'll go down and prepare!" After that, she left gracefully.

Bai Zihua asked in confusion, "Why is she here?" Bai Ziyang also had the same question.

Mo Yan explained: "Fairy Zixun volunteered to come to my Changliu to teach new disciples, so how could I not agree?"

Bai Zihua's face turned even sterner when he heard that. Bai Ziyang pushed Sheng Xiaomo's hand away and shouted, "What the hell? Let her teach? She is really scheming for other purposes. Isn't this misleading the students?"

Mo Yan ignored Bai Ziyang and just looked at Bai Zihua and said seriously: "Zihua, there are some things you can't escape from just because you want to!"

Bai Ziyang looked at the two people's backs before he remembered to ask, "What course does Xia Zixun teach?"

Sheng Xiaomo waved his folding fan and turned away, leaving behind three words: "Burn incense!"

What greeted him at night was Hua Qiangu's dreamy voice: "Fairy Zixun is not only beautiful, but also very good at refining incense. I heard from Qingshui that if she is ranked second in the incense refining world, no one dares to claim to be the first. Moreover, the temperament of Fairy Zixun's every move is unmatched... and more..." Bai Ziyang was forced to listen to the praise of Xia Zixun for a long time...

"Stop talking about this... If you keep talking, I'll think you're going to fall in love with her!" Bai Ziyang rolled his eyes and interrupted Hua Qiangu.

Hua Qiangu said angrily: "Brother Bai! What are you talking about?"

Bai Ziyang said, "Okay, let me ask you what happened to Meng Xuanlang during the day?"

During the day, Mo Yan suddenly summoned Bai Zihua, Sheng Xiaomo and him to the main hall. When Bai Ziyang arrived, he saw Mo Yan walking around in the main hall, with his disciple Meng Xuanlang standing below. Except for Mo Yan who was furious, Bai Zihua and Sheng Xiaomo were fine. Bai Ziyang made Mo Yan dizzy, and he couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, why did you call me here? Stop walking around, it makes me dizzy!"

Mo Yan stopped and pointed at Meng Xuanlang and said, "You ask him! Ah!" He couldn't help but walked forward again.

Bai Ziyang asked, "What's going on?"

Meng Xuanlang raised his head and said, "I just like Hua Qiangu!"

"What?" Bai Ziyang stood up suddenly. He couldn't help but turn around beside Mo Yan.

Sheng Xiaomo was shaking so hard that he could hardly fan himself. Even Bai Zihua, who had been expressionless, looked a little confused, which was rare for him.

Mo Yan pointed at Meng Xuanlang and shouted, "Why did your father go to great lengths to send you to Changliu? And you are expressing your love in front of everyone. How can you be so unreasonable?"

Bai Ziyang's steps became chaotic and he almost tripped over himself. He shouted, "Confessing in public? You're too quick!"

Mo Yan took the time out of his busy schedule to glare at Bai Ziyang, but when he didn't have time to pay attention to him, he said to Meng Xuanlang, "My Changliu Mountain is such a peaceful place, how can it be a place for you to have fun!"

Hua Qiangu thought of what happened during the day, covered her head and couldn't help wailing, "I don't know why Brother Lang is crazy today. I always treat him as a brother and he treats me as a sister. Who knew he would suddenly confess to me! Because Qingshui misunderstood me!"

Bai Ziyang tapped Hua Qiangu's head and said, "Stupid! But since Qingshui likes Meng Xuanlang... let me teach you how to be a qualified matchmaker!"

The next day, Hua Qiangu found Meng Xuanlang and explained that she only had a brother-sister relationship with him, and there was no love between a man and a woman. The one who really liked him was Qingshui, and the previous gifts were all sent on behalf of Qingshui, but Qingshui was too shy to admit it. After that, she focused on preparing for the Fairy Sword Conference and did not have much interaction with Meng Xuanlang.

But later, Meng Xuanlang seemed to have something to do at home, and he hurried back without even having time to attend the Fairy Sword Conference. However, this was not what Bai Ziyang cared about. The Fairy Sword Conference was held as scheduled, and the 8,000 disciples who stayed behind were divided into groups according to their level to compete. Bai Ziyang only paid attention to the competition of this group of new disciples.

After Bai Ziyang's training, Hua Qiangu did make a lot of progress. She was at ease from the preliminary round to the semi-final. However, Hua Qiangu did not expect that in the semi-final, she fought desperately against Yin Shangpiao, and in the end, both sides were injured. Yin Shangpiao stabbed her in the shoulder with a sword, and took advantage of his daze to hit him with a palm, and took the opportunity to seize the initiative and win. This is simply a tactic that hurts the enemy a thousand and hurts yourself eight hundred.

Bai Ziyang couldn't help but stand up in the stands at that time, but was held down by Bai Zihua next to him. He watched Hua Qiangu being helped down by Dongfang Yuqing and Qingshui.

After the game, Qingshui came to Bai Zizhan and begged: "Your Majesty, Qiangu is injured. Can you wait until she is better before letting her compete with Ni Mantian in the final?"

Bai Ziyang knew what Bai Zihua would say without even listening, and sure enough...

"The Fairy Sword Conference has its own rules. Tomorrow's competition will go on as usual."

When Bai Ziyang arrived at the back mountain in the evening, Hua Qiangu was already sitting on the steps waiting for him. Bai Ziyang sat down next to Hua Qiangu and sighed, "Silly girl!"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Brother Bai, I won today!"

Bai Ziyang looked at her helplessly and said, "Yes, yes... How is your injury?"

Hua Qiangu shook her head and smiled: "It's just a minor injury, it's okay!"

Bai Ziyang said: "Minor injury? Do you think you can hide it from me? Why do you have to work so hard?"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Brother Bai, you said you would accept the runner-up of the Fairy Sword Conference as your disciple. If I lose to Yin Shangpiao, I will never have the chance to become your disciple again."

Bai Ziyang said: "Silly, if there is no chance, then find another one. If you can't be the second, then I will accept the third as my apprentice, it's the same!"

Hua Qiangu said: "How can that be the same? As the Taoist master of Changliu, you can't go back on your words in public."

"..." Bai Ziyang was silent for a moment and then said, "Let me heal your wounds!"

Hua Qiangu said: "No, no, it would be unfair if Brother Bai healed me."

Bai Ziyang said, "If you weren't injured, you could have fought Ni Mantian to a draw. But now that you're injured, won't you definitely lose tomorrow's competition?"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Whether I win or lose, I have already gotten what I wanted. Brother Bai, this is already very good. At first, I thought Shuofeng was the strongest among us and must be the first. I thought I would compete with Mantian for the second place, but now I have to compete with Mantian for the first place. Anyway, I don't want to be the first place. Then we can just have a competition."

Bai Ziyang said: "Why don't you just admit defeat tomorrow? Anyway, whether you admit defeat or lose the fight, you will still be second place, and you can be my apprentice!"

Hua Qiangu refused and said, "I still want to have a fair competition with Mantian. I want to fight to the end with my own strength and worship you as my master in a dignified manner, instead of being a person who retreats without a fight."

Bai Ziyang rubbed Hua Qiangu's head and said, "Okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll do whatever you say... Oh, by the way, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten what happened between Shuofeng and Ni Mantian. Shuofeng actually lost to Ni Mantian? I have to go and take a look... You should go back and have some rest!"

"Oh!"

What Bai Ziyang didn't expect was that after he left, another "old friend" of his came here... But now he was outside Shufeng's door, watching Ni Mantian knock on Shufeng's door.

"Haven't I already lost to you? Why are you still looking for me?"

"I..." Ni Mantian's momentum that she had accumulated for half a day suddenly disappeared, and she said in a low voice: "I actually have my own reasons. My father is the leader of Penglai, but as his daughter, I became a disciple of Changliu. My father cares about his reputation, so... I must win the Fairy Sword Conference, otherwise my father will lose face among all the sects!"

Shuo Feng nodded indifferently and said: "So you use poison needles to deal with me!"

Ni Mantian said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I really have no other choice. I must win this time. I hope you can forgive me... If you don't forgive me, you can stab me with a sword to avenge me tomorrow."

Shuofeng said sarcastically: "Do you think everyone is the same as you?" After that, he closed the door, leaving Ni Mantian standing outside the door for a long time. As soon as she turned around, she saw Bai Ziyang lying on the fence.

He immediately widened his eyes and asked, "When were you here?"

Bai Ziyang lay on the narrow white jade fence, not looking at Ni Mantian, but looking up at the sky with his legs crossed and said, "When you said you had no choice but to do so!"

"So you... heard everything?"

"What did you hear? Did you say you were going to use a poison needle? Or did you confess your love to a handsome guy in the middle of the night?"

Ni Mantian said anxiously and angrily: "What do you want?"

Bai Ziyang stretched out his hand and flicked his ear, saying in a scoundrelly manner: "Is this the tone of a good niece talking to her uncle?"

Bai Ziyang has the ability to make people want to explode at any moment, "Then I wonder how Uncle Zi...Yang...Uncle...is going to deal with me, your niece?" Ni Mantian said gritting her teeth.

Bai Ziyang suddenly turned around and looked at Ni Mantian seriously and said, "Before I tell you how to deal with you, there are two sentences I don't understand, and I want you to explain them to me!"

Ni Mantian had a bad feeling, but she could only say, "Please go ahead!"

Bai Ziyang said lightly: "First, do you know what it means to be worthy of heaven and earth? Second, do you know what it means to be unscrupulous?"
