The rumors have not yet brought trouble to Xing Nan, but they are getting worse.
Smart people can tell that those are indeed rumors, and someone is deliberately slandering Xing Nan.
Most of the people in the inn are not stupid people, but even if they don't believe those rumors in their hearts, they are still happy to talk about them before tea and after dinner.
The rumor started out that a hen in the East Village dropped a feather, and if it spread to ten people, it would turn into a rooster in the West Village and lay a goose egg.
Various rumors about Xing Nan were compiled into many versions and circulated in Wuyin Inn.
"Brother Xing, I wonder if we have discussed with the people at Piaoyun College whether the body of the Wind Shadow Beast can be sold to me?"
At noon on the third day after returning, the heroes from Kurosawa College ordered some food. When Xing Nan delivered the food, Liang Peng asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Liang."
Xing Nan shook his head, then turned and walked away without any intention of explaining.
The flesh, flesh, muscles and bones of ordinary late-level third-level monsters are of great use to Xing Nan, but the late-level third-level wind shadow beast is even more important to Xing Nan.
Integrating the essence of the blood, flesh, muscles and bones of this wind monster into the body through the practice of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu will not only improve Xing Nan's physical fitness, but also make his body lighter, allowing him to move faster over long and short distances.
There has also been great progress.
Liang Peng probably understood this, so he wanted to spend a lot of money to buy the body of the Wind Shadow Beast.
Seeing Xing Nan go to the inn's kitchen again, Liang Peng's face became darker and darker, and the other four Kurosawa heroes also looked unhappy.
"This guy is indeed a bit arrogant." A Kurosawa hero said in a low voice.
"They refuse to sell, what should we do?" a Kurosawa woman frowned.
"I can only think of other ways." Liang Peng's face looked helpless and resentful.
That Wind Shadow Beast belonged to Liang Peng. After he was expelled from Holy Dragon Academy, Blackpool Academy gave it to him in order to win over him.
Naturally, the stronger the battle pet, the better, but it cannot exceed the master's strength by too much. Otherwise, even if it is forced to complete the recognition of the master, it will easily erase the recognition relationship, and even backfire on the master.
The strength of the battle pet cannot be too much weaker than that of the master, otherwise how can it help the master fight?
That Wind Shadow Beast was originally in the middle stage of the third level, and was a little stronger than Liang Peng, but not by much, so it was naturally the most suitable for Liang Peng.
In order to win the team ranking competition, Liang Peng asked his battle pet to follow Piaoyun Academy and harass Princess Yunshang and other Piaoyun heroes. He never expected that his battle pet, Wind Shadow Beast, would be killed.
Of course, Liang Peng didn't know that during the days when the Wind Shadow Beast harassed the Piaoyun Academy team, it had already broken through from the mid-level third level to the late third level, otherwise he would definitely be even more heartbroken and regretful.
boom!
There was a sudden sound in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
Judging by the sound, someone was probably slamming the table in anger.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman standing up, looking very angry.
The woman was wearing a bright red outfit. She was not only heroic, but also delicate in appearance. However, there was a small black spot on her nose, which was particularly eye-catching on her delicate and clean face.
"Who is Xing Nan? Do you have the guts to fight me outside?!"
After the woman shouted loudly, she walked towards the door of the inn.
Disturbed, the shopkeeper who was taking a nap frowned and looked over. He was about to get up and throw the person who slapped the table directly out, but he didn't know whether it was because the person who slapped the table had already shown the intention to leave the inn, or because the person who slapped the table was a
Woman, he didn't get angry, but put his chin on the palm of his hand again and continued to take a nap.
The woman's shout was so loud that even the proprietress in the wing on the second floor heard it, but the proprietress did not come out.
Xing Nan, who was preparing food and drinks in the kitchen, naturally heard the sound of shouting. The busy cooks paused, glanced at Xing Nan quietly, and then continued working.
"Xing Nan, do you dare to come out and fight?!"
"Don't you look down on our heroes from the Four Kingdoms? Come out and let everyone see how powerful you are!"
"If you dare not come out, you are a coward, not a man!"
"Today, I, Jian Ling, will use the sword in my hand to tell you that there is a price to pay for speaking big words!"
The woman's shouts continued to be heard from outside the inn, and all the guests were silent. Sometimes they looked at the kitchen, sometimes outside.
It was obvious that the rumors had finally taken effect. The two unprepossessing guests in the inn showed a somewhat unconcealable proud smile.
"There seems to be some excitement."
His Royal Highness the Third Prince from the Holy Dragon Empire also put down the wine glass that had reached his lips and seemed to be a little more interested.
"Obviously someone is plotting against Xing Nan behind his back, and they are planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Ling Bin, who was sitting at the same table with the third prince, answered.
"They spread rumors every day and point the finger at the heroes of the Four Kingdoms. Even if everyone doesn't believe it, they will still be angry. No matter whether Xing Nan has said those nonsense or not, the heroes of the Four Kingdoms need to prove it with their strength. They are not
Not that vulnerable." Lei Hao was very calm, and as he spoke, he did not forget to drink a glass of wine.
"This trick is very destructive, but it is also very useful. However, if you dare to calculate and use the heroes of the Four Kingdoms in this way, if the matter is exposed, I am afraid the consequences will be quite serious."
The third prince looked at Princess Yun Shang and other heroes at the next table again, and the smile on his face was a bit intriguing.
These days, Ling Bin and Lei Hao always mentioned Princess Yun Shang in front of the third prince, intending to induce the third prince to pursue Princess Yun Shang. In addition, Princess Yun Shang is indeed beautiful and has extraordinary talents. The third prince has a deep affection for Yun Shang.
Princess Shang's favor naturally increases day by day.
However, as the prince of the powerful Holy Dragon Empire, the third prince cannot express his feelings too directly. He needs an opportunity to use this opportunity to become Princess Yunshang's friend first, and then continue to develop so that Princess Yunshang will also like him...
His pursuit of the woman he loves also emphasizes the feeling of being natural and natural.
In everyone's opinion, Xing Nan is still an outstanding representative of Piaoyun Academy. Now that someone wants to challenge Xing Nan, Princess Yunshang and other four truly outstanding representatives of Piaoyun Academy, it is natural that there will be no reaction at all.
Although Princess Yunshang had expected that there would be trouble, her beautiful eyebrows were still tightly knitted at this moment.
Duan Zhirou looked calm and calm, but she had some expectations in her heart, expecting Xing Nan to go out and beat the girl from Capricorn Academy to a pulp.
Duan Rui seemed calm, but in fact he couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He was also looking forward to it, but what he was looking forward to was that Xing Nan would be beaten with a bruised nose and face, preferably with missing arms and legs.
As for Tang Lei, he should be the calmest among the four Piaoyun heroes. He is not biased towards Xing Nan or others.
If it weren't for his good friend Duan Rui's rejection of Xing Nan, which affected Tang Lei's attitude towards Xing Nan, Tang Lei would definitely be biased towards Xing Nan.
"Xing Nan, are you going to be like that little turtle?"
"Are you just bragging about your ability, but are you a coward when it comes to taking action?"
"Xing Nan, come out quickly!"
"If you don't dare to come out, I'll apologize for what you said in front of everyone!"
After Jian Ling waited at the door of the inn for a while, when she saw that Xing Nan did not come out, she started shouting again.
Xing Nan came out of the back kitchen, but he was carrying a tray.
Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, he delivered the food and wine on the tray to a table.
This table was not far from Kurosawa Junjie, but when Xing Nan was placing the food and wine, Liang Peng said loudly: "Xing Nan, you are also a country's hero, a role model for the country's young people, and now you are challenged by the country's heroes.
, if you don’t accept it, it would be too cowardly and disappointing. I believe the people of Piaoyun Kingdom don’t want their young hero to be insulted by challengers at the door.”
It is undeniable that Liang Peng's words are very sensational and more useful than Jian Ling's shouting outside.
After all, most of the guests in this hall are from Piaoyun Kingdom.
"Accept the challenge!"
"If you're a man, come on!"
"Fuck that girl!"
"We can't embarrass our men in Piaoyun Kingdom!"
I don't know who shouted first, and the lobby on the first floor of Kirigakure Inn became noisy.
Naturally, the master shopkeeper couldn't take a nap anymore, but there was no sign of intervening.
Xing Nan calmly placed the food and wine before he calmly walked towards the door of the inn.
He did not go out, but stood at the door, looking at Jian Ling standing outside with his sword behind his back, and said, "You'd better save some energy and show yourself in the next round of competition."
In his heart, he gave Jian Ling two words... Idiot!
But seeing that she was a girl, he seemed to be polite, and he didn't want to really anger the heroes of the Four Kingdoms.
After saying those words, Xing Nan turned back and went to the kitchen.
Everyone thought that Xing Nan would go out to fight, and many busybodies even gathered at the door of the inn to watch the excitement, but Xing Nan's performance disappointed them.
It's not that Xing Nan is afraid of a battle, it's just that if he goes out to fight, he will let the people who spread rumors against him succeed.
"coward!"
"coward!"
Jian Ling was still shouting outside.
The guests in the lobby on the first floor of the inn were naturally talking a lot. Although many people knew that Xing Nan was not as arrogant as the rumors said, they were also puzzled and disappointed that Xing Nan did not fight today. Of course, they also had a bit of contempt and disdain.
disdain.
Xing Nan was born in a poor life in his two lives, and he suffered countless bullying and humiliation in this life. Although his mind has not been tempered to be indestructible, he can at least be immune to some cold looks and contempt.
However, even though he pretended not to care and waited until the inn closed, the anger in his heart was building up.
Jian Ling also stood outside the inn until dark. When she came back, she threatened that she would be waiting for Xing Nan outside the inn tomorrow.
At night, Xing Nan's mind was very confused, and he could not enter the state of regulating his breath, let alone study the art of transformation.
Although Jian Ling's challenges and insults had stopped, they still echoed in his ears, making him feel annoyed.
He didn't want this to disrupt his cultivation, but the more he tried to regain his composure, the more agitated his mind became, and Jian Ling's curses became clearer.
There was also a stubbornness in his bones. He tried his best to get rid of distracting thoughts and tried to force himself into a state of calm, but things went against his wishes again and again.
In fact, it is very dangerous for monks to force themselves to practice in this state, because it is very easy for demonic obstacles to form in their hearts.
