Even Murong Canghai, who was sitting in the spectator stand, couldn't help but stand up and looked at Li Bai high in the sky with complicated eyes.
Li Bai enjoyed this feeling of being admired by everyone. He looked down at everyone with pride, and his eyes accidentally glanced at Murong Xuan in the distance. Their eyes met again, and Li Bai gave him a cold look, full of contempt.
Murong Xuan was so angry that veins were forming on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Bai spent a long time in the air for a stick of incense before he returned to the ring. The ten martial arts scholars who were competing with him were so embarrassed that they were defeated without even making a single move. This may become a joke in the martial arts world.
But there is nothing we can do about it, who would have expected to meet a master who knows how to fly!
In this way, both Li Bai and Sima Heng won the martial arts examination!
The two were about to high-five each other when suddenly, bursts of exclamations erupted from the crowd in the second arena:
"Is that a fairy? How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world!"
"I heard that this woman's name is Zi Yan, and even her name is full of fairy spirit."
"If you can marry such a fairy, it doesn't matter if you don't win the exam!"
…
When Li Bai and Li Bai heard this, they couldn't help but turn around and take a look.
I saw a woman standing on the second stage, with waterfall-like hair, affectionate phoenix eyes, small cherry mouth, hibiscus face, wrapped in blue clothes, and fluttering with fairy spirit!
It is Miss Ziyan.
However, the purple smoke at this time gave the two of them a cold feeling, unlike the fairy who drew her sword to help when the road was rough.
There have been few women in Tangming Pavilion since ancient times, but now a fairy-like Wu Xiucai appeared. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to him, and some greedy people even swallowed their saliva obscenely.
Li Bai and the two hurriedly rushed to the second stage.
When Zi Yan saw the two of them, she pretended not to know each other and stood calmly on the ring, looking into the distance.
When the two met, they were confused, but since the competition was imminent, it was difficult to investigate.
There were two masters of archery in this competition. To prevent accidental injury, the ring was quickly surrounded and no one watching could see the fighting inside.
Li Bai was very worried when he saw this.
At this time, a voice sounded from the side: "Boy, we meet again, what's wrong? Seeing how beautiful this girl is, the toad wants to eat swan meat?"
Li Bai turned around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Murong Xuan, who was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Li Bai felt disgusted and said angrily: "The toad wants to eat swan meat? Huh, do you know what the relationship between me and her is?"
"Do you have anything to do with this beauty? Damn, she didn't even look at you just now, so why are you related?" Murong Xuan said with a sarcastic expression.
At this time, Sima Heng on the side saw Murong Xuan's harsh words and said, "Hey, who are you? Do we know you? It's okay, get out of here!"
"You! What did you say?" Murong Xuan was suddenly scolded by Sima Heng, and his face turned green with anger. He said viciously: "Okay, it turns out your kid has an accomplice, and this accomplice is not a good guy either. I'm with him
You say, this Jinling City is my territory, but I think you don’t want to get out of Jinling City alive!”
"Haha..." Li Bai and Sima Heng laughed at the same time.
Li Bai said: "Murong Xuan, you dare to say that Jinling City in the Tang Dynasty is your territory! I think you should go back to your father as soon as possible. Don't embarrass yourself by saying disrespectful words here!"
When Murong Xuan heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but it was difficult to get angry at the martial arts competition, so he said insidiously: "You two boys, listen, I know that you have just won the martial arts exam, so I won't do anything to you here.
What, but after we leave Tangming Pavilion, I must make you look good."
Li Bai heard this and was about to retaliate when the crowd suddenly became commotion and the ring panels in front of him were opened one by one. It turned out that the competition inside had already decided the winner.
I saw that Zi Yan was still standing calmly in place, like a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world.
The other ten Wu Xiucai were crawling on the ground in pain, scratching their bodies crazily.
When Li Bai and Sima Heng met, they immediately realized that these people had obviously been infected by Baihuafen!
At this time, the judge of Tangming Pavilion on the stage loudly announced that Zi Yan was the winner.
The whole audience was excited. It was unexpected that a beautiful woman could defeat ten martial arts scholars at the same time. It was really unexpected.
Hearing that she had won, Zi Yan did not show any joy. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out ten pills the size of sesame seeds, and distributed them to the ten martial arts scholars.
The ten martial arts scholars regained their breath after swallowing the pills.
Just after he recovered his breath, one of the Wu Xiucai yelled at the others: "You idiots, you just want to see the beauty, but you let someone poison you before you take action. It's really an unjust death!"
When everyone heard this, they finally understood that it turned out that this beautiful woman used her beauty as a cover, and then took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and suddenly poisoned her to win the competition.
From this point of view, it is too easy to get this martial arts master.
Zi Yan ignored everyone's comments, stepped down from the stage, and walked directly towards Li Bai.
When Li Bai saw it, he happily greeted him, "Miss Ziyan, congratulations on winning the martial arts examination!"
"Who are you? I don't know you!" Zi Yan replied coldly, then left the confused Li Bai, walked straight in front of Murong Xuan, bowed and said: "Mr. Murong, my dear
Women are polite!"
At this scene, not only Li Bai and Sima Heng, but also Murong Xuan was confused for a while, "Miss Ziyan, do you know me?"
"Young Master Murong is so humble. Who doesn't know him in Jinling City? Zi Yan has admired him for a long time and came here to get to know him."
Murong Xuan's vanity was greatly satisfied when he saw this fairy-like woman actually saying that she came here specifically to get to know him, and a look of arrogance immediately appeared on his face, "I see, then since Miss Ziyan wants to get to know me, it's inconvenient for there to be so many people here."
, how about I treat you to a drink after the martial arts competition is over?"
Zi Yan smiled and said: "Since the young master invited me, Zi Yan will definitely go to the appointment!" After saying that, Zi Yan Yingying turned around, walked past Li Bai and Sima Heng, and went to rest behind the ring.
Murong Xuan looked at the figure disappearing in the purple smoke, with a sinister smile on his lips.
Li Bai wanted to catch up with Zi Yan and ask for details, but was stopped by Sima Heng, "Li Bai, there must be a reason for Zi Yan to do this. Let's not cause trouble for her first, and then we'll talk clearly."
When Li Bai heard this, he calmly thought about it, yes, Zi Yan is not such a cold person at all. This cold look was obviously intentional. I am a stupid person, regardless of the reason, I almost made a mistake, so I said to Sima Heng:
"Sima Heng, thank you for reminding me. Let's go, we will observe in secret and wait for an opportunity to help."
After that, the two of them followed in the direction Zi Yan left.
…
This Tang Ming Pavilion martial arts competition lasted for three full days before it ended successfully.
More than 3,000 martial arts scholars took part in the competition, but in the end only 53 were successful, including three female candidates.
The fifty-three successful candidates each received a token of success, a bounty of two thousand Kaiyuan Tongbao, and each received a Tangming Pavilion ranking.
Li Bai ranked 2666th, Sima Heng ranked 1024th, Ziyan ranked 5200th, and Murong Xuan ranked 1014th.
At the end of the night, Jinling Tangming Pavilion held a grand celebration banquet for these fifty-three martial arts candidates.
The banquet was full of singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
Zi Yan was wearing a flowing purple dress, and she undoubtedly became the focus of the banquet. Most of the successful candidates were rough men, so how could they let Zi Yan go when she saw a fairy descending to earth? There were many drinkers and courtiers.
Endlessly,.
Zi Yan was used to seeing these people, and she always maintained her aloofness, except for one person, and that person was Murong Xuan.
Murong Xuan was not polite, and kept sitting beside the purple smoke, pretending to be a gentleman, asking for help, and busying himself.
Zi Yan seemed to be very disappointed and smiled at Murong Xuan. The two of them were so talented that others envied them.
Li Bai on the side was not angry at all when he saw this scene. He was already sure that Zi Yan was acting and she must have other plans for Murong Xuan.
Therefore, he and Sima Heng also cooperated very well and pretended not to know Zi Yan.
After three rounds of drinking, some of the martial arts officers who were not very drunk were lying drunk on the spot, and were helped to the side room to rest by servants.
Zi Yan was already drunk at this time and her eyes were blurry, and she was about to pass out.
When Murong Xuan saw it, he felt that an opportunity had come, so he leaned into Zi Yan's ear and whispered: "Miss Zi Yan, you are a little drunk, can I help you to the side room to rest?"
"Well, Mr. Murong, there is no need to rest. Look at the bright moon in the sky tonight. I would like to find a place to enjoy the moon and talk about love. I wonder if Mr. Murong can accompany the little girl?"
"Of course you can! There is a Moon-watching Tower in our Tangming Pavilion, which is the best place to enjoy the moon. Miss Ziyan, how about we go there together?"
"Is there such a good place? Master Murong can lead the way!"
"You're welcome, Miss Ziyan, it's my honor to admire the moon with such a beautiful woman like you! Miss Ziyan, please come this way." After saying that, Murong Xuan led Ziyan out of the banquet hall and walked through several places.
In the courtyard, we arrived in front of a three-story building.
Zi Yan looked up and saw a wooden plaque in front of the building, which read "Wangyue Tower".
