While eating lunch, Ziyu felt a little annoyed again, stood up, slapped the table, and spoke loudly.
Everyone was shocked by her behavior.
They all looked sideways at her.
But she looked angry and said, "This is obviously just to make money!"
"Ziyu, please don't think about this. At least Mr. Meng really got what he wanted, right?" Chu Zhaozhao on the side comforted him.
After saying this, she and Ziyu both looked at Meng Ziliang who was standing aside. They saw the young man digging into a big bowl of rice. After everyone had eaten one or two bites, he had already eaten it all.
"What are you doing? No one is robbing you!?" Meng Jin beside him couldn't stand it anymore and asked with a frown.
Meng Ziliang put down his bowl and chopsticks, but said seriously: "I am now a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, so I naturally have to practice diligently. How can I waste time on these things?"
After saying this, he got up and walked to the other side of the small courtyard. He took his sword and waved it in a decent manner.
Seeing his brother's possessed look, Meng Jin felt a little dizzy and covered his forehead.
Ziyu glanced at Meng Ziliang, who was sweating profusely, and forgot about what happened just now. She sat next to Meng Jin and asked curiously: "Tell me, does your brother come here to see Zheng Lingyin?
"
Meng Jin was not sure: "Maybe..."
"Sometimes I can't figure out what he is thinking..."
Ziyu added: "He doesn't look stupid. Could it be that he really doesn't know that there is no use in practicing like this?"
"With this situation, how can we make that woman Zheng Lingyin change her mind?"
"If you can change your mind, then you won't be able to meet me again." Meng Jin sighed, a look of worry rising between his brows.
"Since his cultivation was gone, I don't know how many letters he sent to Tianxuan Mountain. Every letter was answered. Even if they broke off the engagement, Zheng Lingyin and his father were not present. Several people from Tianxuan Mountain came.
The doorman threw the things away and left without looking back."
"You see, he talks about practicing swordsmanship all day long, but in fact, he is holding his breath in his heart. I guess he came to Tianxuan Mountain firstly because he wanted to meet Zheng Lingyin, and secondly, he is probably a little unwilling...
"
"That's why you let him come to Tianxuan Mountain?" Chu Qingxiao also took over the conversation at this time, looked at Meng Jin and asked.
He knew very well that with Meng Jin's cultivation level, others did not dare to say anything. If he really wanted to take Meng Ziliang back, it would not be difficult to do so, and there would be many bumps and bumps along the way. In the end, he came to Tianxuan
Where is the mountain?
Meng Jin was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"After all, he is my younger brother. When I see him go from being so high-spirited to being like this, I feel bad in my heart."
"The reason why I don't let him come to Tianxuan Mountain is actually not because of anything else. I'm just afraid that he will see Zheng Lingyin, which will make him feel even worse."
"Actually, I also understand that our Meng family is now in a state of decline. The scenery of the past has long disappeared, and Tianxuan Mountain is at its peak again. Just as Miss Ziyu said, Zheng Lingyin is the leader of the younger generation in Tianxuan Mountain, making people proud.
It is impossible for a direct disciple of Tianxuan Mountain to marry my brother, and it is understandable for them to do so. But..." At this point, Meng Jin sighed again.
"But there's no need to be so ruthless after all..."
"Then don't think so much!" Yue Jian on the side suddenly said at this moment: "Since they are here, then find a way to let them meet."
Everyone was stunned. At this moment, they all looked sideways at Yue Jian, but Yue Jian said with a serious expression: "A person's life is short or long. Some people, you think you can always be there, but in the blink of an eye,
Sometimes you can’t find it anymore.”
"Since you can still see it, it's a blessing. Why bother looking forward and backward."
Yue Jian's words made everyone feel a little dazed.
Hearing this, Ziyu gave Yue Jian a strange look: "You guys, when it comes to great principles, you do one thing after another."
"If you didn't open your mouth, I thought you were just a yin-yang monster?"
Yue Jian seemed to have been immersed in some emotions just now. After hearing this, he turned back and glared at Ziyu, and the two of them immediately started to fight against each other again.
Chu Qingxiao blinked his eyes in distress.
Yue Jian has always been hostile to Tianxuan Mountain. With this hostility, she probably can't be expected to get along well with Ziyu.
But even though he understood this and could smooth things over, Chu Qingxiao still had to fight.
He hurriedly said: "In short, it can be regarded as a mistake that allowed Brother Meng to get what he wanted, and as a person with a pure heart like Brother Meng, I think you don't have to worry about Ziyu that he will ruin the reputation of Tianxuan Mountain, right?
"
Chu Qingxiao tried to direct this topic to the matter just now.
After hearing this, Ziyu frowned again: "His elm-headed head really can't do anything evil, but what about others?"
"Besides, if you pay money, you can enter the gate of Tianxuan Mountain. How is this different from ordinary martial arts schools?"
"Hmph. Don't bury other people's martial arts schools." Yue Jian heard the words but sneered again: "They are ordinary martial arts schools. If you give them money, they will teach you some moves, but you, Tianxuan Mountain, teach these outer sects
What happened with the handyman disciple?"
"You don't have to take advantage of it and behave well."
"Tianxuan Mountain has recruited more and more inner disciples over the years. Where do you get the money from the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and elixirs you need for practice? Isn't it from these handymen and outer disciples?
Did it come from your body?"
"Others can say what Tianxuan Mountain is like, but you can't."
"I want both money and fame. The women in Goulan are probably much more pure and pure than you in Tianxuan Mountain!"
"You!" After hearing this, Ziyu suddenly turned ugly. She stood up angrily and tried to argue with him.
Fortunately, Chu Qingxiao on the side reacted in time, and with the help of Chu Zhaozhao, they were able to separate the two.
…
After a hectic lunch, at the invitation of Chu Qingxiao, Yue Jian came to the streets of Tianxuan City with him.
This street is located on the west side of their rented house and is called Baiyuhuan Street. The name is a bit weird.
But according to Chu Zhaozhao, the streets in Tianxuan City are all named after the King Sword and the Divine Sword in the Yaoguang Sword Pond, while the alleys and other areas are named after the spirit swords.
Baiyu Huanjie is not a busy market in Tianxuan City, but it is still very lively. Along the way, the sounds of vendors and street drinkers can be heard talking loudly.
It's just that the drinkers are not arguing about national affairs or anecdotes like the ordinary ones in the world, but mostly discussions about swordsmanship and swordsmanship. Watching the drinkers being drunk, they are still gesticulating in a precise manner.
The scene with sword moves was quite interesting.
Pedestrians walking on the street mostly discussed matters of spiritual practice. They even saw an overweight woman standing at the door of her house, scolding her teenage children who had only been playing around these days.
I don’t know how to practice swordsmanship.
The two of them walked like this for a while, and neither of them spoke first.
But at this time, Yue Jian finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She frowned, looked at Chu Qingxiao and said angrily: "I know you are angry!"
"Huh?" Chu Qingxiao, who was thinking about how to comfort Yue Jian, was stunned when he heard this.
Although Xu Dangren never said it explicitly, Yue Jian's performance and Xu Dangren's words both indicate that there seemed to be someone from Tianxuan Mountain behind the destruction of Jianyue City.
.
Chu Qingxiao could understand Yue Jian's hostility towards Tianxuan Mountain.
Now in the enemy's home, how can you feel at ease?
She has some temper, which Chu Qingxiao can naturally understand.
What's more, she is Song Guicheng's daughter, and he promised Song Guicheng to take care of her, so how could he be angry with her over such a trivial matter.
So he brought her out just to comfort her, but Yue Jian's words left Chu Qingxiao in a daze.
"No, I..." He hurriedly wanted to explain.
But before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Yue Jian: "I also know that you are a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain and you can't stand my words!"
"I also know that Tianxuan Mountain helped Cangying Village, and just like Grandpa Xu said, Tianxuan Mountain is not all bastards..."
"And that Ziyu was also a life-saving grace to me. I really shouldn't have spoken like that."
"But I just couldn't hold it back..."
After saying this, Tsukimi's face showed a look of guilt.
"I know..." Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao hurriedly tried to comfort him.
"You don't know!" Yue Jian said again: "I admit that the tone of my words is indeed wrong, but what I said is the truth!"
"That friend of yours obviously can't practice, so why did you recruit him just for money? He has a reputation of being an upright person, but he is doing the business of a profiteer!"
"I don't know how many people actually have no talent for cultivation at all. They just hold on to the desire to get ahead and are trapped here all their lives. All the money they have saved through hard work is given to Tianxuan Mountain. In the end, they have nothing left!
"
"You look at the bright and beautiful Tianxuan City, but you don't know that it is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones! Tell me, am I wrong?"
"This... of course is correct." Chu Qingxiao nodded in agreement, and quickly added: "But..."
"But you just don't like to hear it, right?" Yue Jian sneered, completely ignoring that Chu Qingxiao's face had turned purple, and continued talking to himself: "After all, you are the direct disciple of Tianxuan Mountain. In your heart,
Tianxuan Mountain must be aboveboard, how could it do such a dirty thing, right?"
"I knew you thought so."
"I didn't want to follow you to Tianxuan City in the first place. If Grandpa Xu hadn't had to follow you, I would have left this place long ago."
Chu Qingxiao couldn't resist Yue Jian's talking to himself and making himself angry. He quickly interrupted and said: "Yue Jian, you really misunderstood, I..."
"I misunderstood!" As expected, Chu Qingxiao was interrupted again by Yue Jian.
"The words you said back then in Taixuan Mountain were just a whim!"
"We are not children. No one will take those words seriously, and you don't have to be burdened."
"You are a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, and I am a bandit. I will not pester you! We will leave when Grandpa Xu has finished what he needs to do!!!"
The more Yue Jian spoke, the angrier he became, and his voice became louder and louder.
Chu Qingxiao felt a headache secretly. He probably knew that he couldn't communicate with her properly, so he simply raised his hand and knocked Yue Jian on the forehead.
Yue Jian screamed in pain, covered his head, and stared at Chu Qingxiao angrily, looking like an angry little tiger.
At this moment, Chu Qingxiao looked directly at Yue Jian and said word by word: "I don't care about Tianxuan Mountain!"
"I care about you!"
"Huh?" When Yue Jian, who was still angry just now, heard this, her big black eyes blinked, and the next moment, her cheeks turned red.
"You...you...what did you say?"
Chu Qingxiao felt a little helpless. He explained: "I brought you out not to be angry with you, but to let you not pay too much attention to everything in Tianxuan City. After all, we don't live here permanently. We just have some things to finish before we can leave with peace of mind."
"Not permanent? Us?" Yue Jian's face turned redder. She seemed a little nervous, and her voice started to tremble: "What do you mean, aren't you a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain? If you don't stay here, you have to go.
Where? And...what about you, ours, who is with you and us!"
"I will not have any unclear relationship with the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain, let alone have any relationship with Tianxuan Mountain..."
Seeing her look like this, Chu Qingxiao also knew that what he said in a hurry had caused the other party to misunderstand.
Chu Qingxiao, who had been looking for a chance to clarify, suddenly felt his head pounding. He gritted his teeth and decided not to let this misunderstanding deepen any longer, and he would tell everything about his acquaintance with Song Guicheng first.
"Give! Quickly give way!"
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the front of the street.
Chu Qingxiao and the two looked up at this moment, and saw a group of people in blue clothes walking towards here. There were several of their companions in front of the group, and they were rushing pedestrians on the street to both sides of the group.
Make a way.
When Chu Qingxiao's words reached his lips, they were interrupted by this scene. They both retreated to one side of the street and looked at the approaching team.
There were about a hundred people in the team, all wearing those blue clothes. Chu Qingxiao remembered that he heard Chu Zhaozhao mention that such standard clothes were unique to the inner disciples of Tianxuan Mountain.
In the center of the team, there were seven old men walking side by side. They all held swords in their hands and carried a simple sword box on their backs, with a sign in the shape of a blazing sun engraved on it.
Chu Qingxiao was feeling strange, but the girl beside him suddenly trembled and her face turned pale.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chu Qingxiao asked with concern.
But before Yue Jian could respond, he heard a passerby beside him say: "This should be the congratulatory gift from King Wu to Qingque Peak, right?"
"That should be the case. It is said that in order to congratulate the young martial uncle for entering the Eighth Realm, King Wu specially selected the best spiritual swords from his own sword pool, as well as three Earth Demon-level king swords."
"Three King Swords? King Wu really paid a lot of money? There are rumors that he has admired our young uncle for a long time. This seems to be true."
"Then what if? He is far away in Bailong Province. If he doesn't have other thoughts, how can he run to Tianxuan Mountain every now and then?"
"And I heard people say that these Spirit Sword King Swords were obtained from the rebels who exterminated Jianyue City back then. The swords of Xizhou Jianjia are not comparable to ordinary Spirit Sword King Swords."
"I am giving such a great gift just now to the Eighth Realm. Now my young master uncle is already trying to enter the Ninth Realm. By then, we must not empty out all the sword ponds in his palace? Then won't there be more swordsmen in our Yaoguang Sword Pond?"
So many swords!”
"What's the point? If I can win the favor of my junior uncle, I will give her my life!"
"Come on, if you still want to win the favor of my junior uncle, think carefully about how you can be selected into the inner sect."
The passers-by around him were talking to each other, and after hearing this, Chu Qingxiao finally realized that the swords in the sword boxes were actually relics of Jianyue City. No wonder Yue Jian had such a reaction.
"Tsukimi..." Thinking of this, he looked at the girl in front of him with some distress, and was about to offer words of comfort.
But at this moment Yue Jian stretched out his hand, took Chu Qingxiao's hand, and started to walk towards the street.
"Yue Jian, what are you doing?" Chu Qingxiao suddenly looked worried when he saw this. He was afraid that the girl would see the old friend's belongings and become angry, so she would commit murder and robbery in Tianxuan City.
The girl in front walked quickly, lowered her head and spoke in a dull voice.
"Join Tianxuan Mountain and go to Yaoguang Sword Pond."
