On this day, the gathering of talents that Zhan Chen was looking forward to finally arrived. In the early morning, Xu Liyan took the initiative to find him, hoping to go with him. Zhan Chen didn't think too much at the time, after all, the relationship between the two was already extraordinary. However, this
But it became the trigger for a series of events that followed.
Zhan Chen and Xu Liyan came to Juxianju, the venue where the Juxian gathering was held. Juxianju is not a single building, it is more like a large garden. There are walls around the garden, and there are dozens of buildings in the middle.
It is composed of pavilions and pavilions and is built near the lake, giving it a sense of elegance.
When they came, they found that the door was open and no one was guarding it, so they could come and go freely.
However, disciples who have cultivated in the Ming Dharma Realm know not to break in casually, otherwise they will only be asking for trouble.
Zhan Chen and Xu Liyan stepped into the door and saw a notice standing next to the door, so they went over to take a look and saw these few lines written on it: "Today the preaching elder of the Juxian Meeting is Gong Tie.
Title: The application of the secret of fire in actual combat, time: 10 a.m., location: Xuanhua Pavilion."
Zhan Chen turned around and asked Xu Liyan: "Yanyan, do you know where Xuanhua is?"
Xu Liyan covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Of course, I have come to inquire beforehand, just come with me." Then she led Zhan Chen to a loft with only one floor.
Zhan Chen looked up and saw the words "Xuanhua Pavilion" written on the lintel. The two stepped into it and found that there was an auditorium inside, which could accommodate about 500 people. At this time, there were already scattered people in the auditorium.
There were some people sitting on the ground, about a hundred in number.
There was still about an hour before the time for the elders of the sect to give a sermon. Zhan Chen and Xu Liyan found a place to sit down. The arrival of the two attracted the attention of some people. A handsome young man
His eyes even stayed on Xu Liyan, and he suddenly shouted: "Isn't that Princess Xu?"
His scream was loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen frowned slightly, and had an unknown premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the handsome young man stepped forward quickly, came to Xu Liyan's side, smiled and said: "Xu Liyan, hello, let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Haitao. I have admired you for a long time."
Xu Liyan was always warm and generous, and had excellent tutoring etiquette. Although Zhan Chen was sitting next to her, she still showed a friendly smile, stood up, and said: "Hello, but I don't dare to take it seriously. I am just an ordinary foreigner now."
I'm just a disciple, no different from you."
Her approachability was regarded as an encouragement in Lin Haitao's eyes, so he immediately said: "How can you say that? Everyone knows that you are the eldest daughter of the Xu family of the inner sect, so you are naturally different from ordinary disciples like us.
Xu Liyan, I wonder if I would be honored to invite you to have a casual dinner."
Xu Liyan suddenly became embarrassed and said, "But I don't have time recently."
"Then whenever you are free, no matter how long, I can wait." Lin Haitao said again.
Zhan Chen couldn't stand it any longer. Xu Liyan was already his woman, but Lin Haitao was still pestering her shamelessly, obviously trying to get her idea. He couldn't bear it, so he stood up and stood up.
He came over and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lin, Xu Liyan is already my woman, don't try to take advantage of her!"
Lin Haitao then looked at Zhan Chen, as if he had been treating him like nothing before, sneered and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Zhan Chen, Xu Liyan's boyfriend." Zhan Chen answered in a deep voice.
Xu Liyan saw that the relationship between the two was full of gunpowder and was afraid something would happen. She hurriedly pulled Zhan Chen and said to Lin Haitao: "Brother Lin, Zhan Chen is my boyfriend, so I can't agree to your request."
Lin Haitao still refused to back down, and he shouted loudly: "Why? Xu Liyan, you have to give him and me a chance to compete fairly. Don't worry, I will prove that I am tens of millions of times better than this Zhan Chen!"
"Okay, how can we prove it?" Zhan Chen naturally couldn't give in in front of his woman.
"It's very simple. After the elder's sermon is over, I will have a competition with you. The winner will be qualified to pursue Xu Liyan. How about it?"
Xu Liyan pulled Zhan Chen and shook her head worriedly, but Zhan Chen didn't care about it and said, "Okay, I accept it. I want to prove that Xu Liyan's vision is right!"
The invitation to fight and bet between them immediately attracted more people's attention. More and more people knew Xu Liyan's identity, and there was a lot of discussion.
"It's so strange that two men were quarreling over a woman."
"Haha, you don't know that woman's name is Xu Liyan. I knew it early on. She is quite a celebrity in our sect."
"Oh, is she famous? If you are talking about Wang Zhisheng, Zhong Liting and other monks with high combat power, then I know it, but who is this Xu Liyan?"
"You don't know that the top figures in our outer sect are naturally famous, but they are nothing in front of Princess Xu. She comes from the inner sect."
"It's impossible. Any of the strong men in the inner sect have very high cultivation levels. Her cultivation base is only at the elementary level of Mingfa. Isn't it the same as us?"
"She is from the Xu family of the inner sect and the biological daughter of Xu Jing, the great elder of the inner sect."
"The Xu family, isn't it the Xu family among the top ten families?"
"Exactly, her father is a real strong man in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm. If he can win the heart of Princess Xu, wouldn't he have a bright future?"
"Hey! No wonder Lin Haitao is so interested. I have to try to get in touch with that beauty tomorrow. But isn't this strange? She has such a high status, why does she still stay in our outer sect?"
"I'm not too sure. In the past, the children of the ten major families came to our outer sect in name only. As soon as their cultivation reached the Ming Dharma realm, they could automatically become the superior inner sect disciples. But this Xu Liyan came to our outer sect in person.
There must be some reason for this."
"Could it be that she really fell in love with the man named Zhan Chen sitting next to her?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Zhan Chen again. This previously unknown monk, why would the eldest daughter of the Xu family fall in love with him? But whether Zhan Chen is willing or not, he is using Xu Liyan's name to gain fame.
Zong became completely famous.
Looking at this situation, how could Zhan Chen not understand the situation? He began to feel a little big-headed. At this moment, a familiar figure walked in. It was Lin Suya. She also came to attend this gathering of talents. When she just entered
She was present and didn't know what had happened before. When she saw Zhan Chen, she shouted: "Zhan Chen!"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but turn around, and when he saw it was Lin Suya, he greeted, "Senior sister, are you here too?"
"Yeah, I'll come too—"
"Haha, Zhan Chen, you obviously have another woman, are you still qualified to pursue our princess?" At this time, Lin Haitao couldn't help laughing.
Zhan Chen immediately became angry and looked down upon his unfounded behavior. He said coldly: "Lin Suya is my senior sister, and I will not allow you to taint her."
"Humph, who believes it?" Lin Haitao sneered.
Seeing his rogue appearance, Zhan Chen couldn't help but want to summon the Wandering Dragon Shock Sword to teach him a lesson right away.
However, just when their conflict was about to break out, an old man with white hair and beard appeared at the door and shouted: "What are you making such a fuss about? I heard the sound in Xuanhua Pavilion from a long way away."
