At this moment, Xu Ran didn't know that his reputation had been widely spread in the world. Two days later, in a county town not far from Shaolin Temple.
In a quite lively inn, Xu Ran ordered some wine and food and drank and ate alone.
"Have you heard the rumors? Another person has appeared in the world. I heard his name is Xu Shaoxia?"
Next to Xu Ran, people from all walks of life were talking.
"It seems that this Xu Shaoxia has been known to everyone in the world for a few days, but I feel that this is just a rumor."
"Xu Shaoxia"
Xu Ran, who was drinking alone, twitched his ears slightly, maybe he was talking about himself.
"According to rumors, Mingjiao leader Zhang was willing to lose in a battle with Xu Shaoxia, and someone from Mingjiao also came out to confirm that leader Zhang and Xu Shaoxia had a fight, which should be true."
Xu Ran on the side squinted his eyes. He was sure that the person these people in the world were discussing should be him.
But this news probably didn’t come from the Ming Cult.
As we all know, ancient times were a dynasty that valued face very much. Zhang Wuji lost to him. It was impossible for the Mingjiao followers to spread the news. At most, they could only discuss it among themselves.
Otherwise, it would be disgraceful to spread the word.
So, this news should have come from Zhao Min.
"If Jianghu launches a martial arts leader, I feel that both Xu Shaoxia and Zhang Wuji are possible. Not only are they young, but they are also highly skilled in martial arts."
"I think it's possible for Zhang Wuji. After all, Zhang Wuji has mastered a Ming Cult and has many masters under his command, so he is very powerful."
"Hey, this is not necessarily true. The Mingjiao is a cult in the eyes of the six sects. If they really want to elect a leader of the martial arts alliance, the six sects will unanimously oppose it."
Many people around were talking about it with great interest.
"There is no doubt that Zhao Min spread this news," Xu Ran thought to himself.
A few days ago at Green Willow Villa, the other party drew a big cake for him, saying that he could help him sit on the throne of the martial arts leader.
However, Xu Ran couldn't figure out how Zhao Min could help him improve his reputation. Could he be using himself to attract hatred?
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, no matter what Zhao Min's conspiracy is, it is a good thing for him that his fame can spread in the world," Xu Ran thought to himself.
Xu Ran finished eating in silence, listening to the mixed comments around him and making no comment.
"What nonsense Xu Shaoxia, he is just a non-existent person." Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came out, with disdain in the words.
Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man sitting in the corner, drinking silently with a sneer on his face.
"There is also Zhang Wuji, who is just an extremely hypocritical person." After a pause, the man continued.
"who are you"
Someone looked at this handsome man and said.
Xu Ran also looked over curiously. He was not angry at the man for inexplicably saying that he was a fictitious person. He thought he must be a member of the Ming Cult.
I just feel dissatisfied when I see these people in the martial arts comparing myself with Zhang Wuji.
But what made Xu Ran curious was that after this person sprayed him, he also sprayed Zhang Wuji, which made Xu Ran a little surprised.
"I dare to ask who you are, and please tell me your name." A person from the world looked at the handsome man and said.
"Just a nobody," the handsome man said calmly.
"It's good to know. Whether it's Leader Zhang or the famous Xu Shaoxia, you and other villains are not the ones who can make arbitrary comments." Someone said.
"What did you say"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the face of this handsome man suddenly became distorted, his eyes stared fiercely at the rich man who had just spoken, and he said coldly: "Try saying something villain again."
"You, what do you mean?"
The rich man looked at the delicate man with some fear, as if he didn't expect that the other man would get angry all of a sudden. The ruthless look in his eyes made him a little frightened.
The handsome man directly pulled out a bright sword next to him and pointed it at the rich man.
He said with a sinister expression: "Am I wrong? Who is this Xu Shaoxia? Have you seen him? Have you seen him fight with martial arts heroes? No, so I said he is a non-entity."
Is there anything wrong?'.
The handsome man said with a twisted expression.
"No, that's right," the rich man seemed frightened and stammered.
Xu Ran frowned on the side. In his memory, he seemed to have never seen this handsome man before. Why would he be jealous of him?
Xu Ran shook his head, confused.
"This is just a rumor in the world. Maybe it's some rat-like person who wants to be famous." The handsome man smiled softly.
"Unfortunately, I have met Xu Shaoxia before." Suddenly, a faint voice rang.
The person who spoke was none other than Xu Ran.
This man belittled himself one after another, which made Xu Ran feel a little unhappy, so Xu Ran spoke up at this moment.
"It turns out that I have met Xu Shaoxia, and I asked you to tell me, is this Xu Shaoxia really as good as the rumors in the martial arts world, with strong martial arts and suave style?" someone asked.
"That's natural" Xu Ran blushed and said calmly.
"Then, would you please describe Xu Shaoxia's appearance? If you are lucky enough to meet Xu Shaoxia in the future, I can look up to you," someone said.
"Where did you come from, you rat, shut up!" At this moment, the handsome man said angrily to Xu Ran, and then he held a sharp sword in his hand and stabbed Xu Ran straight at him with a sharp aura.
The handsome man pointed his toes on the bench and held a long sword. He arrived in front of Xu Ran in the blink of an eye and stabbed Xu Ran in the chest with a sinister smile.
There were waves of exclamations from the crowd watching.
It seemed that he didn't expect that this handsome man would suddenly take action.
Could it be that this handsome man had a grudge against the rumored Xu Shaoxia? Otherwise, why would he feel as if he was being stimulated when he heard the other person's name?
However, a more surprising scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw this kid who claimed to know Xu Shaoxia, and lightly stretched out two fingers to clamp the long sword thrust by the handsome man, preventing the opponent from making any progress.
The face of the handsome man changed drastically. He did not expect that Xu Ran's internal force was so powerful, and he easily clamped the tip of his sword. He felt a strong internal force coming out from between the opponent's fingers, making it difficult for him to move.
"Let me go!" the handsome man roared angrily. He shook his wrist and poured all his inner strength into the long sword. He wanted to pull out the long sword, but his inner strength seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and it was difficult to struggle out.
Xu Ran glanced at the latter casually, with a twisted and sinister look on his face.
Ding!
Xu Ran exerted slight force with his fingers, and the opponent's sword tip made a crisp sound, and then broke.
