No matter what, in front of Hu Hai and Lin Ze, everyone in Jiange still retained their dignity. Everyone including Luo Shan congratulated Elder Ben Lei.
Even though he was in a frightened dream, he managed to squeeze out a smile and said: "Congratulations to Elder Ben Lei."
However, Lin Ze saw endless disappointment in his eyes. There is no warrior who doesn't want to have a magic weapon that he can handle. What's more, as a swordsman, he loves swords as much as his life, so why wouldn't he want a magic sword?
Besides, Jingmeng was originally supposed to get the divine sword, but his hopes were frustrated because of their obstruction. How could he accept it in his heart?
Putting aside his frightening dream, Elder Ben Lei looked full of contentment and returned the greetings to the congratulators, but said modestly: "Your sword skills are also very exquisite. I am just lucky."
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately aroused the resonance of other people present, and they silently replied in their hearts: "You are really lucky."
Elder Ben Lei saw that everyone was looking at something wrong, and immediately said: "I was lucky enough to get the divine sword, but the joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of everyone. I plan to hold a banquet at my residence to celebrate, and I hope you will appreciate it."
After saying this, Elder Ben Lei was afraid that Hu Hai would dislike him, so he added: "Young Master, please be sure to show your respect. Please rest assured, I have saved some good things over the years, and I will not let you down."
Hu Hai showed a hint of interest when he heard this and said: "This is what you said. If the banquet does not satisfy me, you can teach me your Thunder Sword Technique. The lightning and thunder are very beautiful. I want to learn it."
.”
Ben Lei replied with all his heart: "Please rest assured, young master, as long as you are willing to reward me with a favor, I am willing to teach you a mere set of Ben Lei sword skills."
When Hu Hai clapped his hands and applauded, the other elders looked at Ben Lei with envy. When discussing swordsmanship, he asked himself, he was no worse than him. Unexpectedly, just because his swordsmanship was good, he easily fell in love with Mr. Hu Hai.
This thigh.
Jingmeng's face in the distance changed even more. She couldn't help but look at Lin Ze. Thinking of the words he said to her to win over her, she felt even more uncomfortable. If Ben Lei really got in touch with Mr. Hu Hai, Ben Lei would have a chance.
With Hu Hai's support, is there any hope for me to ascend to the position of Pavilion Master?
However, Lin Ze pretended not to see Jing Meng looking at him and looked at Hu Hai and Elder Ben Lei with a smile on his face.
A wry smile appeared on Jing Meng's face. Are all the nobles from Chang'an so realistic? Then he gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind.
Elder Ben Lei noticed something wrong with Jingmeng's expression, walked up to him, and comforted him in an elder's tone: "Jingmeng, don't be so sad after losing once. Go back and reflect on it. Swordsmanship requires more than just being powerful.
, but also need corresponding character support.”
Jingmeng's face turned dark on the spot. This was simply saying that his character was not good in front of his face.
Without waiting for Jing Meng's reaction, Elder Ben Lei said again: "By the way, remember to come to the banquet later. But you can't hold a grudge against me just because of a failure. After all, I am an elder."
This sentence is even more interesting. If you don't come to the banquet, you will be accused of having a grudge against your elders. Even with this sentence, if Jing Meng does something detrimental to Elder Ben Lei, he will be accused of this crime.
Lin Ze sighed secretly from the side: "No wonder Jingmeng can't play with others, Jiang is still so old."
Jing Meng was blocked by Elder Ben Lei, and it took him a long time to say: "Don't worry, Elder, I will arrive on time."
Elder Benlei smiled proudly and said, "You are still very young when you fight with me."
Hu Hai, who was waiting on the side, became a little impatient and said: "I've also seen the swordsmanship. The banquet is still early. I don't know what else is interesting. Please take me to see it."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place seemed to be frozen. Luo Shan and others looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing how to speak. It's so pitiful. Although they have lived in Jiange for many years, they really don't know what Jiange has.
Fun.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and Lin Ze couldn't help but come to the rescue and said, "Master, do you want to go rafting?"
Hu Hai looked confused and said: "What is rafting?"
Lin Ze pointed to a waterfall in the distance and said: "Master, have you seen that waterfall? If you were to sit on a raft, control the direction, and go down the rapids, that feeling would be so refreshing and exciting. Master, do you want to try it?"
one time?"
The words are full of temptations, and many people in later generations went rafting in search of excitement.
Hu Hai thought for a while and said happily: "Okay."
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "Master Luoshan Pavilion, why don't you arrange for someone to take the young master rafting?"
Luoshan immediately called a few elite disciples and took Hu Hai away.
The others also dispersed, but before Lin Ze left, he took a deep look at Jingmeng.
Jingmeng followed Luoshan and left without saying a word.
…
In the main hall of the Jiange Pavilion, Jingmeng said with an aggrieved face: "Pavilion Master, my disciple's swordsmanship is obviously the most exquisite. If the disciple has the divine sword in his hand, he will be worthy of his name as the number one master in Shu, and he will have a great influence on the development of the Jiange Pavilion.
However, because of the selfishness of the elders, the disciples missed the divine sword, and the disciples are dissatisfied."
After hearing this, Luoshan said with a tired face: "Those elders still have prejudices against you, thinking that the source of your Nine-Death Sword Technique is unknown, so they do this. There is nothing I can do about it."
Jingmeng felt even more aggrieved after hearing this, and argued: "But since the disciple created the Nine Death Sword Technique, I don't know how much contribution he has made to Jiange. Even under the squeeze of Tianshi Dao and the Ba family, Jiange has not lost its momentum.
It’s the disciple’s credit, and the disciple shouldn’t have to bear this kind of doubt.”
Luo Shan said with exhaustion: "I have seen what you have done, otherwise I would not have made you the chief disciple and made you the candidate for the next Pavilion Master. I will take you by my side to train you carefully.
I just wait for you to grow up and talk to the elders, and then I will let you take over the throne. Have I treated you unfairly?"
Jingmeng shook his head and said: "The Pavilion Master loves and protects his disciples and has never treated them unfairly. However, those elders, not only have not been explained to them, but they have intensified their efforts to target the disciples. If things continue like this, will the disciples be able to explain them to them?"
In fact, what Jing Meng wants to ask more is, if this continues, can he still become the master of the Jiange Pavilion?
With Luo Shan's wisdom, he could not understand the hidden words of Jing Meng. He just sighed and said: "Wait a little longer, I will definitely find a way to help you ascend to the position of Pavilion Master. The worries of those elders are not unreasonable."
Yes, it can only be influenced by seeing people's hearts over time."
…
When Jing Meng came out of the pavilion master's hall, he couldn't help but think of what Lin Ze had said to him. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and headed towards the attic where Lin Ze lived.
