At this time, the morning sun rose high into the sky, the red light fell all over the imperial city, and the temperature in the air was very moderate.

Warm and peaceful.

But Chu Bailang felt cold.

The mood is also a bit complicated and heavy.

The mottled shadows cast under the locust tree all fell on him, like the only darkness under the light.

Originally, he came to his teacher to be his backer and support him, but now his teacher seems to have become Li Sansi’s backer?

The reversal of events was too rapid and unexpected, and he could neither understand nor accept it.

But he didn't dare to question it.

He could only choose to remain calm while holding his sluggish ancient sword. His slightly raised head was his last sign of stubbornness.

"Did you hurt him?"

Cao Renxiang suddenly spoke again, his tone sounded like he was interrogating a prisoner.

His hands did not go into his cuffs again, but were still raised in the air, proving that he still had the possibility of raising his hands to hit someone.

Chu Bailang's mentality was a bit explosive.

It took him nearly two breaths to realize that the teacher seemed to be concerned about Li Sansi.

Suddenly there was a feeling of hopelessness.

He took a deep breath, shook his head, and simply said three words, "He is fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the teacher's hand slowly lowered, and his expression softened slightly.

"You should be glad that he is okay, otherwise, today would have been more than just two slaps."

Cao Renxiang said coldly, "Don't bother him again in the future, and don't mention the battle between you to anyone. Otherwise, even if you are my favorite student, I won't let you go easily."

It’s yours.”

This is no longer just a piece of advice, but a naked threat.

Chu Bailang couldn't bear it anymore. He summoned up the courage to ask: "It's just a small bronze medal in the yamen of the writer. It's nothing special. Is it worth protecting him like this, teacher?"

He was a little anxious.

I felt more jealousy towards Li Sansi in my heart.

Not only has he snatched away the eldest princess, but now even his own teacher is going after him. This Li Sansi, what kind of magic power does he have?

"Just a small bronze medal?"

Cao Renchang sneered: "A detective genius who solved the cases of Bailumen and Dongting Lake in succession; a detective who made a perfect plan in just one night and killed the man in the imperial city without spending a single soldier.

A talented young man who was caught by a female assassin on the seventh floor; a rising star who was repeatedly competed for by the Prison Department and the Third Law Department; such a person, in your eyes, Chu Bailang, is just an ordinary writer.

bronze medal?"

His eyes fell on Chu Bailang, and there was a mocking emotion in his eyes that the other party could not accept, "Is it because you are too jealous, or are you too proud? Chu Bailang, Chu Bailang, you have lost your mind when practicing swordsmanship.

Have you lost your temper?"

Chu Bailang wanted to speak out to argue, but found that there was no way to speak out.

Because those comments about Li Sansi are indeed true.

But in the end he couldn't help but speak, "But he only has the cultivation level of the second floor, so he simply..."

"You really can't find any reason to belittle him, so you start with the realm of cultivation that he is least capable of. Using your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, you are truly a talent."

Cao Renxiang sighed, with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "And even if he only has the second-floor realm, wouldn't you still be defeated by him? As far as I know, Li Sansi has only been in the cultivation world for two months.

, you have already climbed to the second floor in such a short period of time. Not to mention you, even I couldn't do it back then."

After hearing this, Chu Bailang was obviously a little dissatisfied.

The palm prints and swelling on his cheeks have been gradually repaired under the influence of Zhenli.

But the mood in his expression became colder and gloomier than ever before.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I said before that it's not that I can't defeat him, but that someone is secretly helping him."

"What's wrong with someone helping him? Didn't you come here just to ask me to help you?"

Cao Ren went to look at Chu Bailang and his eyes gradually became cold. He shook his head and gave his final advice, "Is it so difficult to accept someone's excellence? You have to remember that jealousy will have no impact on your cultivation.

Help, if this goes on for a long time and creates knots in your heart, I'm afraid you will only be able to stay on the sixth floor for the rest of your life."

This is a bit harsh to say.

Chu Bailang lowered his head calmly and did not respond.

No one knows what he is thinking.

Cao Ren glanced at him and saw that he was in a low mood. After being reprimanded by him, he became even more depressed, and suddenly he couldn't bear it.

The cold look in his eyebrows gradually faded, and then he sighed, "It's not that I mean to scold you, nor that I care about how much I admire Li Sansi, but the Wei Dynasty is currently in an extraordinary period, and the Sword Master has entered the country.

In the meeting and negotiation two days later, Li Sansi thought that he was the protagonist... Countless pairs of eyes in the imperial city were staring at him now, just to make sure that nothing happened to him in the past two days, so as not to delay the peace process.

Juggernaut's Negotiations."

"In my opinion, the mysterious master hiding behind Li Sansi may have been sent by His Majesty to protect him... Fortunately, he is fine, otherwise, you might not even have a chance to see me.

.”

Hearing this, Chu Bailang suddenly raised his head, with shock in his eyes.

He knew about the Sword Master's entry into the country.

He also knew that the Wei Dynasty would send people to negotiate with the Sword Master in two days.

But the negotiating representative turned out to be Li Sansi?!

He didn't know that.

How is it possible?... Chu Bailang felt incredible, "What qualifications does he have to represent the Wei Dynasty to negotiate with the Sword Master?"

There is no personal grudge involved in this questioning.

Even if he and Li Sansi had never met, they would still be shocked and couldn't believe it after learning the news.

Who is the Sword Master?

The strongest swordsman in the world today, the pinnacle practitioner who has climbed to the ninth floor.

The person who is qualified to negotiate with him should not only have a high level of cultivation, but should at least be equal to him in terms of status, or almost the same, right?

No matter how strong Li Sansi's detective skills are, no matter how popular he is in the Criminal and Prison Department and the Three Justice Departments, he will only receive a small bronze medal as a pen holder.

Really low-level people.

Let him negotiate with the Juggernaut?

Pooh!

It’s not even suitable for carrying shoes, right?

Chu Bailang looked at Cao Renwang and thought, teacher, are you right? Is the information accurate?

Cao Renchang's voice then sounded, "I know this is hard to believe, but it is true. Qin Xiaoyao, the director of the National People's Congress, personally recommended Li Sansi, and both your majesty and the chief minister agreed."

On that day, the God-Emperor convened all officials to discuss matters in the royal study, and after confirming that Li Sansi would be the representative to negotiate with the Sword Master, the news was never spread in order to avoid long nights and nightmares.

Therefore, except for the big guys who were discussing the matter that night, no one else knew who was negotiating with the Sword Master.

Many people speculated that the God-Emperor went there in person.

Some people also thought it would be the Imperial Master who climbed to the eighth floor.

Or Wang Xianyuan, the chief minister of civil service in the dynasty.

No matter how bad it is, it would only be possible if someone of the level of Qin Xiaoyao, the director-general of the National People's Congress, is the author.

Presumably no one would put Li Sansi as the candidate for negotiation.

"How did this guy get so lucky?"

Chu Bailang clenched the ancient sword tightly, with unwillingness in his eyes.

"good luck?"

Cao Ren went to speak: "Do you think it would be a good opportunity to negotiate with the Sword Master?"

"Isn't it?"

Chu Bailang said in a deep voice: "With his perverse temperament, I'm afraid he will force himself to be in the limelight again."

Cao Renchang laughed out loud, and then said calmly, "Don't speak so harshly. If you think you are capable, I can recommend you... You can also be in the limelight."

Chu Bailang's expression condensed slightly when he heard this, and he was obviously moved...Teacher, are you serious?

Cao Renchang's voice of advice sounded again, "But I have to remind you that the ultimate goal of this negotiation is to keep the sword master to serve the Wei Dynasty, and to persuade him to go to the border battlefield.

Go and help General Li Mi fight against the monster clan and the coalition forces of the Southern Jin Kingdom."
