"Junior Sister Xue, I already gave up five years ago, why should I continue to be aggressive? In the past few decades, my savings have been almost lost to your disciples. I don't want to compete anymore. Junior Sister Xue, you are better than me, I give up.
.”
Sighing, Mr. Liu looked a little humiliated and a little lonely.
Lu Xiu Ming felt sad for a while. He pursed his lips and hesitated to speak. He thought about what an unparalleled figure Liu Rongye was back then. Whether it was his own cultivation or his secondary professional talent, he suppressed a whole generation of geniuses and could not raise their heads.
At that time, no one dared to ask Fairy Liu to bow her head and admit defeat, not even Lu Xiu Ming.
Time has been merciless, and now Liu Lao's face is full of dejection, and there is a bit of pleading in his words.
Back then, she could have escaped unscathed, and no one in the Niao Hua Sect would have blamed her, but she chose to fight the barbarian monster and ruined her own future.
"Junior sister Liu, I'd better go to the back room to escape."
Shaking his head, Lu Xiu Ming's body flashed and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a strange gust of wind swept across, and the door of the main hall was violently slammed open, roughly and brutally.
Amidst the strong wind, a white-haired old woman wearing bright yellow clothes walked into the hall with a sinister smile.
"Senior Sister Liu, you are so arrogant that you are not allowed to admit defeat... Back in the Niaohua Sect, because I offended you with one word, I was punished by facing a wall for half a year. At that time, I was like an ant, not even daring to look at you.
.Now you have given up? Where is your prestige back then?"
"I knew you were seriously injured, so I didn't take action personally. It was just a discussion between disciples... I'm sorry, but you are not qualified to admit defeat."
"Back then, you stood on the martial arts stage of the Niaohua Sect, majestic and majestic, fighting all over the world, and you were arrogant. I, a small person, had just finished the humiliating punishment. At that time, I swore that I would win against you in this life. I would win.
Until you...die."
"You are a hero of the Qinggu Kingdom. You have a hero's salary from the imperial court, and the Niaohua Sect will also give you a sum of money every year. Your background is very rich. Junior sister, I am very envious. After all, you have several disciples, and they are very interested in resources.
, but I long for it very much.”
Xue Danshui is also in the Foundation Establishment realm and has no ability to maintain his appearance. Although his face is also old, his complexion is much more energetic than Liu Lao's.
"Your disciples are all the elites of the Niao Hua Sect, the proud ones of heaven, but my disciples are the failed disciples who joined the nine major sects in previous years. Forget it, I was young and frivolous at that time, and I can promise anyone.
Challenge my promise, this may be the consequences, I will swallow it myself!"
"Forget it, it's the old rules. In the Lingluo Courtyard, I have arranged nine disciples. They are holding puzzles of the spirit seam lineage, waiting to debate with your disciples. The results of the debate were handed over to us by the deaf-mute, and we will verify them together.
Win or lose.”
"If you can answer the nine riddles, you win. If you can't answer them, I win. Three years ago, your disciple answered seven riddles. Seven is greater than two, so you beat me. The rules remain unchanged, I am here
Each disciple has a valuable treasure placed on his body, and the one who answers correctly will have it, which is considered the price of the loser in the last competition."
"As for the bet between the two of us, this is a piece of foundation-building jade weighing three kilograms. I originally wanted to consolidate my cultivation in the early stages of foundation-building with this piece of jade. After much deliberation, it is the only one that can be used as a bet."
Liu Lao gritted his teeth, took out a fist-sized piece of emerald green jade from the Qiankun bag, and placed it on the table.
"Sure enough, the foundation is rich. The true essence contained in the Foundation Establishment Jade is ten times richer than elixirs. It is the spiritual treasure that Foundation Establishment monks dream of and is worth tens of millions of gold coins. Senior Sister Liu, I accept this Foundation Establishment Jade with a smile."
"I'm not stingy either. Generally, the space of a Qiankun bag is only the size of a drawer, and can only hold some trivial items. My Qiankun Ring is said to have been forged by the Yuanying old monster, and the space has been expanded to ten times. It can hold a mobile phone at the same time.
Alchemy furnace or a weaving machine, this Qiankun Ring is also worth ten million gold coins, I won't take advantage of you."
After saying that, Xue Danshui gently placed a bronze ring next to the Foundation Establishment Jade.
The bet is made!
"Okay, now that both of us have made a bet, let's get started. When will your disciple arrive?"
Liu Lao glanced at the Qiankun Ring and only smiled bitterly.
Xue Danshui is now the elder of the Niao Hua Sect. Her disciples are all carefully selected geniuses every year. It is too easy for the latter to win over students like her who have failed. This bet is just to disgust her.
"My three disciples are still on the way. They will arrive at Lingluo Courtyard in about half an hour. By the way, where is your beloved disciple Ze Yanhua? Although this disciple has mediocre cultivation, he has a solid foundation and is a rare member of the Spirit Seam lineage.
Talented people, I lost two puzzles last time, all because of Ze Yanhua, I’m looking forward to it this time.”
Xue Danshui suddenly asked.
"Ze Yanhua has a master in Niao Hua Sect. Although I love talents, I can only be regarded as a registered master. She always takes action on behalf of others. This time she only consulted a few puzzles and will not take action herself.
We all lose anyway, there is no need to implicate Ze Yanhua."
Liu Lao smiled bitterly.
In the entire Lingluo Villa, there are only named disciples who are useless. Ze Yanhua, the only one she admires, cannot be regarded as a direct descendant. And the first puzzle assigned today is based on Ze Yanhua's personal reference.
"Haha, Senior Sister Liu, I am going to annihilate the whole army this time. I have beaten you for more than ten years, but I have never won all nine questions. I hope I can do it this time."
Xue Danshui's words were full of sarcasm.
The competition between her and Liu Rongye had become a one-sided humiliation.
Win or lose?
There is no suspense.
The only difference is how to win. Comprehensive crushing and narrow victory have different feelings.
"It's simply too much to deceive others."
In the inner hall of the main hall, Lu Xiu Ming's eyes were filled with frost. Xue Danshui was just an ordinary elder of Niao Hua Sect, but he was so narrow-minded that he forced a seriously injured imperial hero to such a situation. It was simply hateful.
…
On the street.
Zhao Chu was carrying two bottles of soy sauce with great caution.
joke.
For 160,000 gold coins, I knocked over a bottle, so I really should sell myself to pay off the debt.
"Teacher Ze Yanhua, why don't you carry the soy sauce yourself, I'm timid."
Like a blooming lotus, the back of the Zeyan flower has graceful curves and exquisiteness, making people imaginative. Of course, Zhao Chu had no time to appreciate it, only fear. In the end, he gritted his teeth and begged.
Wow!
At this moment, a paper crane fell from the sky and hurriedly flew into Ze Yanhua's palm.
Message paper crane.
It is similar to ordinary people's flying pigeons delivering messages, except that the paper cranes are blessed with spiritual power, and their accuracy and speed are hundreds of times better than those of homing pigeons.
Of course, it's worth a lot of money.
Paper cranes convey messages, which are usually important events.
really!
After Ze Yanhua opened the letter, her pretty face changed drastically.
"Zhao Chu, wait for me at the gate of Lingluo Villa. If you can't find the way, just ask yourself. I have something urgent, so go ahead."
The letter paper turned into ashes... Ze Yanhua pinched a magic spell, and her delicate soles were suddenly wrapped in a burst of green mist, like stepping on clouds.
This is a speed-increasing magic trick that only Qi-refining cultivators have... It can increase the speed five times during the attack. However, this speed-increasing magic trick consumes too much spiritual power. Unless there is an emergency, cultivators will not use it frequently.
In the blink of an eye, Ze Yan's beautiful body turned into a rainbow and disappeared around the corner of the street.
[Senior Sister, Xue Danshui, the elder of the Niaohua Sect, is here to provoke Mr. Liu again, please return quickly. 】
These few words made Ze Yanhua anxious.
Xue Danshui was notoriously narrow-minded in the Niao Hua Sect. She had some disagreements with Mr. Liu when she was young, and they took revenge for decades, which is evident from this.
In this competition, Liu Lao asked herself to avoid it. Although Liu Lao had no chance of winning, she had to go back to accompany Liu Lao in a critical moment.
…
"Take away the soy sauce. What's the point? How about running away with the soy sauce? Forget it, I haven't graduated yet and it's 160,000 yuan. I can't afford the compensation."
"Lingluo Courtyard, hey, I have to serve as a courier. Why should I owe someone a favor?"
Carrying soy sauce, his handsome face messy in the wind, Zhao Chu came to his senses and quickly asked for the route to Lingluo Villa.
…
"Sister, let's go to Lingluo Courtyard quickly. We're late. Don't be blamed by Master. Master has many rules, I'm afraid."
At the Xiangfeng City Market, three girls wearing light blue robes looked around, and one of them was a little worried.
"Don't worry, junior sister. Although Master has strict rules, I usually feel very happy when I come to Xiangfeng City. This time we come to compete just for humiliation, and we are not in a hurry."
The first woman had extremely high cheekbones and contempt in her eyes.
The last time she challenged Mr. Liu, she was one of them and got many benefits. She was also praised by Master Xue Danshui. This was a good job.
"Okay, stop wandering, let's go."
Then, the three of them walked towards Lingluo Villa.
