Jianghu chaos

With a "snap", Hua Juyue slammed the tabloid on the table: "Then Jian Ling and Xie Chaohan are evenly matched, so why does Chaowen believe that Xie Chaohan is better? Hmph, it's not true!"

"That's not true! What do the literati in the Chaowenhui know? They dare to write scribbles on the basis of hearsay." Ding Yan watched the excitement, "In my opinion, the strength of those two is between equals, and Xie Chaohan has always been there. Arrogant and conceited, once underestimating the enemy, I don't know who will win the battle in the end!"

"I don't think the guy named Jian Ling is too modest..." Someone muttered, "Speaking of which, why is that man's sword technique so similar to the Luoying Sword? Is it because Xie Daxia secretly recruited him as a disciple?"

"That person is still using the banner of Luoyingmen to bully the weak everywhere, how can he be a disciple of Luoyingmen! Someone has leaked the unique knowledge of Luoyingmen! Tsk tsk, Luoyingmen is a ghost!"

"I don't think so. Don't you think that Jian Ling's behavior is more like trying to attract the attention of Luoyingmen? Maybe he is the illegitimate son of Daxia Xie!" Someone said convincingly.

The crowd gathered together laughed ambiguously, and some even fished in troubled waters, yelling that Xie Chaohan's status was in jeopardy, and Xie Daxia secretly instructed his illegitimate son to take over the head of the Luoying Sect...

"What is this all about..." Ye Fushu covered his ears, quite disgusted, "I obviously didn't write that..."

The quarrels continued one after another, even overshadowing the wave after wave of competitions on the martial arts arena.

Xie Chaohan sat upright on it, and the eight winds did not move.

Mei Qian sat under the stage, calm and composed.

Shangguan Yun also seemed to be a normal person, he used to encourage the martial arts contestants, as if he didn't hear the comments from the audience.

Playing the piano, however, attracted attention from time to time, and couldn't help but want to speak out to stop these nonsense speculations several times, but seeing the appearance of Xie Chaohan and the others, he suppressed it again, flipping the tabloids in his hand, feeling a little uneasy.

Ruan Xi was even more disturbed. He had read this article three or five times since he got it. He had carefully studied every word and every sentence. What was written was indeed true, without any exaggeration or concealment, and the judgment was indeed impartial. Don't lean, but for some reason, he always feels that there seems to be something wrong.

Isn't it wrong to push this matter up at this time? ?

Looking around, everyone was holding a copy of the special issue of the conference. Everyone was discussing the report, watching the excitement, speculating maliciously, and speculating seriously. Ruan Xi suddenly regretted it. It seemed that he should not have bought all the special issues and distributed them.

"Brother..." Ruan Xi looked at Mei Qian for help.

Mei Qian didn't look sideways: "Don't pay attention to the meaningless words."

"Miss Ye..." Ruan Xi turned to look at Ye Fushu.

"Strange..." Ye Fushu also frowned, and didn't respond to him, as if he was talking to himself, "Why so fast...? I just passed the manuscript on yesterday. I thought it would take tomorrow to How could it be published in just one night..."

"The strength of the Chao Wen Hui really should not be underestimated." Mei Qian said quietly beside her, "It is not easy to print overnight, but the Chao Wen Hui can do it with ease. It seems that there are enough people."

There was something in his words, but Ye Fushu couldn't understand, he thought for a long time and said, "Maybe Master thinks this news is very important and everyone should know it right away?"

Mei Qian's eyes flashed: "The commander is also in Huainan?"

Ye Fushu shook his head: "I don't know where the master is, and the letter was also sent to the Huainan branch."

Mei Qian smiled inexplicably: "It seems that the Chaowen Association is quite concerned about this martial arts conference."

Ye Fushu's heart pounded, and he raised his head to look at the head seat again. Xie Chaohan was very calm, without embarrassment or embarrassment.

But it seems...too calm?

Like Ruan Xi, Ye Fushu was anxious until Youshi, when the drums sounded for the break of the competition, the head master got up and made a few speeches as usual, just like the two days before.

But as soon as Caoqin finished speaking, disciple Doufu who was waiting on the side stepped forward and whispered something in her ear, Caoqin nodded, took a letter from him, and handed it to Xie Chaohan.

Xie Chaohan raised his eyebrows, swept a few lines with the corners of his lips curled up, put it in his arms, bowed his hand to Caoqin, and then turned to face the crowd, his voice was as usual, with a half smile and three parts apologetic: "Sorry everyone, next month The preparations for the promotion conference are coming to an end, and the letter passed in the door will be checked and accepted next time, so I will go ahead and wait for you at the Luoying Gate."

The second promotion meeting was held on the third day of March, less than a month ago, and considering the time required on the way, it was reasonable to return at this time.

Although everyone in the room suspected that he was going back to investigate Jian Ling's matter, and many people were gloating and wanting to inquire about it, but seeing him talking and laughing in such a leisurely manner, it really didn't seem like he was talking about this matter. Rest assured, I can't help dispelling some hesitation.

"It seems that I won't have the opportunity to watch the rest of the exciting races." Xie Chaohan sighed pretendingly, and said to Caoqin with a shy face, "Miss Cao, I don't have anything on my lower body, can I borrow two horses from Miss?"

Cao Qin nodded, then turned around and ordered: "Go and prepare the horse for Mr. Xie immediately."

After receiving the order, disciple Doufu went down quickly, without delay, Xie Chaohan couldn't stop him, and said with a wry smile: "If we prepare tomorrow, we will still have time, miss, are you in a hurry to leave?"

Caoqin lowered his eyes and said: "Caoqin, don't dare to miss the meeting, thank you sir."

Xie Chaohan had no choice but to say loudly intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss really puts the overall situation first, so I can't just rely on it all the time, so I will leave."

Caoqin was polite and sent him out of the gate all the way.

Seeing Xie Chaohan and Mei Qian tacitly get on their horses at the same time, Ruan Xi came to his senses belatedly, squeezed out of the crowd and shouted: "Brother Xie, I will go with you too!"

Mei Qian looked back, and said lightly: "Isn't pestering me to bring you out just to see the martial arts conference grow and gain insights? The Doufu Conference has not yet ended, and there are still many masters who have not shown their strength. You might as well stay for a few more days, so that you can meet with your seniors." Let's ask for advice and study. In case you fight on behalf of the Lingxu faction in the future, you will lose before you even make a move."

The sudden words immediately stirred up a thousand layers of turmoil, and the intensity was no less than when Jian Ling appeared.

"Lingxu sect still has apprentices?!"

"Who is that young master? He, he, what did he call Mei Shangxue just now?? What did Mei Shangxue say? Is that what I thought it meant!"

"You heard me right, that young master is Mei Shangxue's younger brother! I didn't expect that the legendary Lingxu sect with several generations of single generations would have an apprentice!"

"Did you all hear it? Mei Shangxue said just now that this young master is going to fight on behalf of the Lingxu faction! He will fight for the third meeting and fight for the leader of the martial arts alliance!"

"Wait, what about the game! I want to change the bet! No more betting on Cao Lu, but betting on this young master! All bet on Lingxu faction! That's—oh, wait, this young master, is your surname Gao?"

Ruan Xi was taken aback by the inexplicable swarm of enthusiasm, and replied in a daze: "Ruan Xi in Xiamingzhou..."

The man quickly turned his head and shouted to someone, "Ruan Xi! I'm betting on Mingzhou Ruan Xi!"

After the crowd, Cao Qin covered his lips and smiled.

A barely visible smile flashed between his brows and eyes, like a nasturtium blooming in the frost and snow, and he was instantly amazed.

But no one noticed.

Mei Qian raised his whip, the white horse snorted, and left before the sound of the whip fell.

Seeing that the two of them really didn't wait for anyone, Ruan Xi became anxious, pushed through the crowd and chased after him in panic. Unconsciously, there was wind under his feet, and as soon as he stepped on the stone steps, he jumped up and swept away.

"This lightness skill! You deserve to be Ling Shuang stepping on the snow!"

"It's really Lingxu sect's lightness kung fu! It's really powerful and unstoppable!"

…………

After all, it was not as powerful as Mei Qian's. After running for thirty miles, Ruan Xi felt a little weak and had to stop and lean against a tree to pant for breath.

The two people who walked away disappeared from sight, the twilight gradually merged, and there was no one around, Ruan Xi was lost in this wilderness alone, it was a bit desolate to think about it.

The whistling wind stopped suddenly, and the ears became clear. Ruan Xi, who had calmed down, realized that he was too impulsive. All the luggage was still in Doufu Fort, and there was nothing left on him except a few taels of silver. He wanted to go back Take it, and feel ashamed.

While hesitating, a shadow fell and hit him right on the head.

"Ouch!" Ruan Xi cried out in pain, and when she raised her hand, she happened to catch a bundle.The mouth of the bag was a little loose, revealing the familiar clothes inside.

As big as the Mingxia brocade from the Ruan family in Mingzhou, the sparrow feather crown specially made for him, and as small as the daily newsletter that he carries with him, there are all kinds of things, and there is nothing missing—it is his own burden.

Ruan Xi looked up in surprise, and saw Mei Qian leaning on the top of the branches through the layers of branches and leaves, and smiled narrowly at him.

In the distance, there was the sound of horseshoes pattering, and the figure gradually approached. Xie Chaohan was lying comfortably on the horse, with the reins entangled in his hands, leading another horse.

"Next time you put so much money around, the iron rooster won't pay it back." The tall horse swayed and hunched over Xie Chaohan, approaching with a smile on his footsteps.

Ruan Xi also laughed foolishly: "It turns out that Senior Brother and Brother Xie were waiting for me, and they didn't abandon me."

"Iron Rooster came up with this idea of ​​no loyalty." Xie Chaohan said, "I said I want to try your skills."

Ruan Xi hurriedly stood up straight: "I...have I passed the test?"

Mei Qian said: "Not bad."

Thinking of his seemingly casual words in front of the Doufu Castle gate, Ruan Xi's heart was pounding, he held his breath unconsciously, and cautiously tried: "What brother said just now is... did you admit me?"

Mei Qian smiled, "What do you think?"

A burst of ecstasy swept up, Ruan Xi was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and he was about to kneel down as soon as he helped his clothes: "Ruan Xi has seen senior brother!"

Although he chased after Mei Qian and called his senior brother earlier, Ruan Xi knew it well, but Mei Qian didn't care about it, and he took advantage of the verbal advantage. Now this sentence really recognized him as a senior brother, and it was no longer his own wishful thinking. .

Youmei Qian admits that he has truly become a disciple of the Lingxu sect, which he dreams of being admired by everyone.

Mei Qian lifted him up: "Master has traveled all over the world to find no one, so today I, as the head disciple of the Lingxu Sect, accepted you, a closed disciple, for his old man."

Xie Chaohan folded his arms and watched from the sidelines. Seeing that Ruan Xi looked so grateful that he was about to cry, he couldn't help shaking his head: "The iron cock Li Daitao is stiff, you still think he is a good person."
