Xu Xiaorou sat down and said, "What should we do to welcome you? The Lake Master doesn't like the excitement."
She continued: "Eat quickly, I'm going to see the lake owner soon."
She told the girl in the white shirt to serve the dishes quickly, as she was going to see the lake owner soon. The girl in the white shirt immediately agreed, and quickly served four dishes and one soup, which were all delicious and delicious.
Xu Xiaorou wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You can really eat it!"
Li Muchan said: "I have never tasted such delicious food, it made Senior Sister Xu laugh!"
Xu Xiaorou smiled and said: "That's true. How can there be such cooking skills outside!"
The two went down to the second floor. Lin Ping was eating on the first floor. When he looked up and saw the two of them, his eyes flickered, and then he lowered his head and pretended not to notice.
Li Muchan smiled and pretended not to see it.
When he returned to the martial arts training ground, everyone looked at him with smiles and strange expressions.
Meng Shichao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and saying: "Junior Brother Li, this is amazing!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Meng, how do you say this?"
Meng Shichao gave a thumbs up: "Senior Sister Xu is an arrogant person. To win Senior Sister Xu's favor, Junior Brother Li, you are the first to do so!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "Senior Brother Meng misunderstood."
"Never mind the misunderstanding or not, Senior Sister Xu never pays attention to stinky men like us!" Meng Shichao laughed non-stop, looking very happy.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly.
Meng Shichao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. If Senior Sister Xu finds out, we won't get any good results!"
"I heard that the Lake Master has left seclusion." Li Muchan said.
Meng Shichao said: "Yes, you will see the lake master soon!"
Li Muchan wanted to see the owner of the lake very much, and what kind of person he was who could be regarded as a god by them.
While he was talking to everyone, the Eye of the Void opened up and the entire mountain was in front of him. Finally, he stared at the two-story waterside pavilion on the lake and saw the woman in the attic.
She was a young girl dressed in white as snow, with skin as white as snow, and her whole body was unstained. She had deep facial features, thin and long eyebrows that slanted into her temples, and slightly sunken eyes.
With a calm expression, she sat quietly on the grand master's chair in the hall on the first floor. There were three men sitting on her left and three women sitting on her right, all in their forties or fifties.
Li Muchan felt a little disappointed. Although she was a beauty, her beauty was exaggerated, and her beauty was not as good as that of senior sister Wen Yinyue.
The girl in white clothes suddenly raised her head, her cold phoenix eyes seemed to meet his gaze. Li Muchan was startled, and hurriedly retracted the Eye of the Void, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart.
As expected, the girl in white has a sense of sensitivity far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Junior Brother Li! Junior Brother Li!" He was lost in thought when a call came from behind him. He heard Xu Xiaorou's voice and turned to look.
Xu Xiaoju said: "Come quickly, Junior Brother Lin is coming too, the master of the lake will see you."
Li Muchan calmed down, walked over with a smile, and secretly warned himself that he must not use magical powers in front of her, as it would be easy to be discovered.
He and Lin Ping followed Xu Xiaorou out of the compound and walked down the mountain path to the trestle at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Xiaorou jumped onto a small boat, and the two of them followed. Xu Xiaoju said, "Can you row a boat?"
Both of them shook their heads, and Xu Xiaoju said: "If you don't succeed in your qinggong, you will have to row a boat when you see the owner of the lake in the future. I will teach you how to row!"
She explained the essentials of rowing in a few words. Lin Ping and Li Muchan learned it at once, and Li Muchan volunteered to try it out.
Under the command of Xu Xiaorou, the boat slowly arrived at a small pavilion called Luo Xing Pavilion. A winding corridor stretched out from the north of the pavilion, extending to the two-story water pavilion in the middle of the lake - the owner of the lake, Leng Wu.
The abode of frost.
There was no ladder in the small pavilion. Lin Ping jumped into the pavilion lightly. Li Muchan shook his head and looked at Xu Xiaorou.
Xu Xiaorou pursed her lips and smiled, put her right hand on his back, and a gentle force lifted him up. The two of them floated out of the boat and landed in the pavilion.
"Let's go!" Xu Xiaorou led the way.
Li Muchan and Lin Ping followed behind. Lin Ping glanced at Li Muchan proudly, with a slightly sarcastic look on his face.
Li Muchan pretended not to see it and turned around to look around. The corridors were decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and their shadows were reflected on the lake. The koi in the lake were looming, and the lake was as clear as a spring.
For the first time, Li Muchan noticed the strangeness of this lake. The bottom of the lake seemed to be covered with a layer of shining blue sand, reflecting the crystal clearness of the lake, like the color of the sky.
Everything at the bottom of the lake is clearly visible. There are koi carp, black carp, large and small, and some grass carp, which become larger and smaller as the lake water sways.
Stepping up the wide white stone steps, the three of them entered the hall. The girl in white, Leng Wushuang, came directly into view. She looked at the three of them indifferently.
As soon as Li Muchan's eyes met hers, it was like a basin of water being poured down on his head, and his conventional thoughts disappeared.
Zhang Qiaoyi and He Ruoshui stood aside and watched the three people come in.
"Lord of the Lake!" Xu Xiaorou clasped her fists and said respectfully, pointing sideways at Li Muchan and Lin Ping: "This is Li Zhu, this is Lin Ping."
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted: "I've met the Lake Master."
Leng Wushuang glanced at the two of them and nodded lightly: "They are all young heroes. The initiation ceremony will be held tomorrow."
"Thank you, Lake Master." Li Muchan clasped his fists.
The girl in white lowered her head lightly, turned around and said, "Qiaoyi, please tell me carefully, what's going on in Luoyang Mountain now."
"Yes, Lake Master." Zhang Qiaoyi said respectfully, starting from the time they set out and talking about everything until they returned to Xinghu Xiaozhu.
Lin Ping frowned after hearing this, and then he found out how they got rid of the Luoyang Double Sword. No wonder the swordsman named Li was so exquisite. It turned out that he had learned the skills of the Luoyang Double Sword.
************************************************
He glanced at Li Muchan, his heart was like a snake biting him, and he also hated the three women.
After hearing this, Leng Wushuang glanced at Li Muchan but said nothing.
Her expression was indifferent and her temperament was calm. Li Muchan felt that she was clearly standing in front of him, but it was as if she were standing on a cloud looking down at everything.
She asked a few more questions, and when Zhang Qiaoyi answered them one by one, she nodded lightly: "Well, you go ahead."
"Yes, disciple, please leave." Zhang Qiaoyi replied respectfully, leading everyone out of the hall.
Zhang Qiaoyi stopped at the foot of the steps, turned around and said, "Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Lin, take a bath and change your clothes tonight, keep your spirits up, and don't have breakfast tomorrow."
Li Muchan was puzzled, Lin Ping had already said: "Senior Sister Zhang, why don't you have breakfast?"
Zhang Qiaoyi said: "This is a rule, no need to ask more."
"...Yes." Lin Ping replied reluctantly.
They are young and strong, and they are martial arts practitioners. They have huge appetites and will starve if they don't eat even one meal.
The three girls Zhang Qiaoyi floated out of the corridor, slowly landed on the lake, tiptoed a little, like a dragonfly touching the water, flew up again, and landed in a small pavilion on the opposite side. Then they stepped onto the lake again and landed on a waterside pavilion on the opposite side. After several ups and downs, they finally arrived.
On the trestle, he waved his hands to the two of them and floated up the mountain.
Li Muchan and Lin Pian looked at each other and had no choice but to jump on the boat. Li Muchan rowed the boat and slowly sailed towards the trestle.
The two of them stood at the bow and the stern of the boat.
Lin Ping turned around and sneered: "Senior Brother Li, you are so majestic!"
Li Muchan paddled the boat and smiled: "Junior Brother Lin, what do you mean by this?"
"He tracked the Luoyang swords, saw through Zhao Yishan's trick, and obtained the Luoyang sword manual. I really admire him!" Lin Ping sneered and narrowed his eyes.
Li Muchan laughed and said, "It's just a blind cat that meets a dead mouse."
"I think you are pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!" Lin Ping snorted.
Li Muchan's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head with a smile.
Lin Ping snorted: "Senior Brother Li, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Junior Brother Lin, these words are serious, how dare I bully you?"
"Senior Brother Li, I am the young master of Nantan. Even if I don't know any martial arts, I can still order top masters to serve me. Do you understand this?" Lin Ping said.
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, there are so many masters in Sanxiao Hall, they are awe-inspiring!"
Lin Ping looked at him with a sneer: "Senior Brother Li, you have good qualifications and can practice superb martial arts, but what are your chances of winning against several masters from the Southern Temple?"
Li Muchan's face changed slightly, and he frowned and stared at Lin Ping.
******************************************
This is a naked threat.
Lin Ping looked at him proudly and said disdainfully: "If you don't want to lose your life, just be honest!"
Li Muchan smiled: "If I don't leave Xiaozhu, what if there are so many masters in Sanxiao Hall?"
"Okay, then you can stay here for the rest of your life!" Lin Ping sneered.
Although Xinghu Xiaozhu is good, it is too small and quiet after all. For a young person, the outside world is exciting and exciting, so you should try it while you are young.
Li Muchan said: "Junior Brother Lin, even if I let you go, when you reach the fourth rank and you have to fight with other senior brothers, do you still have to use this method?"
"You don't have to worry about it!" Lin Ping snorted.
Li Muchan shook his head: "Sanxiaotang really dares to kill me, are you not afraid of being held accountable by Xinghu Xiaozhu?"
"After you were burned, who knew it was Sanxiaotang who killed you?" Lin Ping sneered disdainfully.
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled, the murderous intention in his heart was boiling, but he didn't show it at all. His concentration became more and more exquisite, and he could completely restrain the murderous intention.
Li Muchan paddled slowly and reached the trestle. Lin Ping jumped up, looked back at him on the trestle, eyes like needlepoints, and turned to leave.
"Junior brother Lin, aren't you afraid that I will tell the lake master?" Li Muchan said suddenly.
Lin Ping paused in his steps and turned to look over, his eyes flashing fiercely as he glared at him.
Li Muchan looked at him with a smile and said, "If I tell you your threat, will I be expelled from Xinghu Xiaozhu?"
Lin Ping's expression changed slightly, and then he sneered: "It's up to you, let's see if the Lake Master believes it or not!"
After that, he strode away.
Li Muchan watched him go up the mountain, then climbed up the ladder, thinking about how to get rid of Lin Ping.
He heard Xu Xiaorou accidentally say that there are only two rules in the Xinghu Xiaozhu family, one is not to kill each other, and the other is not to do evil.
He once wanted to use the first borrowed knife to kill someone and get rid of Lin Ping, but now it seems that he got an advantage.
Regarding informing, he never thought that the gain outweighed the loss. By expelling Lin Ping from the small building, he lowered his character and was looked down upon by others.
This is human nature. Even if you are justified, once you tell the truth, your personality will immediately drop to the lowest level. Even if others understand you, they cannot help but despise you.
As for whether Lin Ping believed what the lake master said, it was not a problem. If the lake master followed him secretly and talked to Lin Ping a few words, it would be easy to anger him and provoke him to threaten him.
He thought about it, shook his head, and finally decided to give up the idea.
He returned to the compound, but there was no Lin Ping in the martial arts training ground. He practiced swordsmanship for a while, and the more he tried to figure out the Luoyang sword technique, the more subtle he became, and it contained the mystery of the change of yin and yang.
Just when I was practicing so absorbedly that I forgot about myself, a gentle call suddenly sounded in my ears: "Junior Brother Li Zhuli!"
He turned around and saw a girl in a yellow shirt waving to him from the sidelines. She was slender and her eyes were as crescent-shaped as two crescent moons.
He sheathed his sword and walked over. The girl in yellow smiled and said, "Junior brother Li, the lake master invites you!"
"Okay." Li Muchan nodded and followed her out of the yard to the trestle at the foot of the mountain. He wanted to jump off the boat, but was stopped by the girl in yellow.
She reached out to grab his belt and flew up, flying across the lake like a swallow, stepping on several waterside pavilions, and arrived at the Luoxing Pavilion in a blink of an eye.
Stepping onto Luo Xing Pavilion, she let go of Li Muchan and said with a smile: "Junior brother Li, come in."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I haven't asked Senior Sister for her name yet."
"My name is Gu Xiaofeng." The girl in yellow smiled.
Li Muchan clasped his fists: "It turns out to be Senior Sister Gu."
"Let's go." Gu Xiaofeng pursed her lips and walked forward with a smile, followed closely by Li Muchan.
After walking through the winding corridor, stepping onto the white stone steps, and arriving at the hall, Leng Wushuang sat in the middle, with four people standing in front of him, Lin Ping, Zhang Qiaoyi, He Ruoshui, and Xu Xiaorou.
Li Muchan was surprised and glanced at Lin Ping.
Lin Ping showed a proud sneer, quickly suppressed it, and regained his serious expression.
"I've met the Lake Master." Li Muchan stood still with his fists clasped.
Leng Wushuang looked at him indifferently, without saying a word. After a while, he said: "Li Zhu, I called you here because Lin Ping said you threatened him."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "What did Junior Brother Lin say?"
"Lin Ping, tell me." Leng Wushuang said.
"Yes, Lake Master." Lin Ping clasped his fists respectfully, took a step forward and glared at Li Muchan coldly: "Senior Brother Li, you said on the boat earlier that if I didn't let you go, you would let Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Sister He and Senior Sister Xu teach me a lesson.
!”
Li Muchan laughed: "Oh——?"
Lin Ping hummed: "You want to be promoted to a sixth-grade disciple, get out of the lake as soon as possible and become famous! Anyone who blocks you is your enemy and will be removed at any cost!"
Before Li Muchan could speak, Lin Ping continued: "You said that after eating on the second floor, you never want to eat on the first floor again, and you can't stand the meager treatment of a first-class disciple!"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head.
Lin Ping said: "Senior Brother Li, you are a farm boy. It's understandable that you can't resist such delicious food. As long as you work hard, you can always become a fifth-grade and sixth-grade disciple, but such threatening methods are really disgusting!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Junior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Zhang, how can they listen to me?"
Lin Ping said proudly: "Originally I didn't bother to tell the truth, but then I thought about it. I am a small person, and I am afraid that Senior Brother Li will threaten other Senior Brothers in this way again. It is impossible to protect the Senior Brothers from being coerced. I can only be a villain and tell
Lake Master, please make a decision!"
Zhang Qiaoyi and He Ruoshui looked at Li Muchan, while Xu Xiaorou glared at Lin Ping: "That's nonsense. I think you are a bad person and file a complaint first!"
