Yun Xian clutched the note as she was cordially escorted out of the Liu residence. As she left, Miss Liu stuffed some Qiankun City specialty cookies into her pocket and said, "This is for you."
"Thank you." Yun Xian carefully stuffed the biscuit under his bamboo hat and nibbled it, "It's delicious."
"As long as it tastes good," Ms. Liu said. "If you like it, you can buy it at my new store, the largest one in Qiankun City Center. Just mention my name and you'll get a 20% discount."
Yun Xian: “…”
They are truly a family of merchants!
"The Sword Sect really hasn't given up on the martial arts competition." Ji Rongxue glanced at the note and said, "This address is real."
The Tianyuan Martial Arts Competition is not like the Four-Party War. There is no heavenly-grade weapon like the "Champion" as a reward, but a sect that does not want to compete for the first place is not a good sect. In addition, the Body-Building Sect and the Sword Sect have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. Now that there is such a fair opportunity, naturally both sides are unwilling to let it go.
According to Yun Xian, this is equivalent to an authoritative competition, similar to the list of heroes published by Xuanbao Pavilion. The ranking on it is naturally of great significance.
She looked at the address and suddenly fell into a contemplative state.
"..." Qiao Lingshan began to feel a sense of crisis. "Yun Xian, this is the Sword Sect. What do you want to do inside the Sword Sect?"
It's fine if only the clueless Liu Shi is in the Four Directions Secret Realm, but this is the Northern Realm headquarters! If they're discovered, they'll probably be chopped up and made into a simmered meat!
Yun Xian didn't say anything, but instead carefully spread out the note and put it aside, saying, "We'll discuss it later, we'll discuss it later."
“…”
She walked in front, while Feng Ye and Qiao Lingshan were whispering behind her.
"It's over." Feng Ye whispered, "She said 'we'll talk about it later', but she didn't deny it."
Qiao Lingshan: "Feng Ye, are you scared?"
"I'm already very experienced now." Feng Ye laughed foolishly. "Besides, if I really get caught, the eldest lady and Fellow Daoist Xue are here, and the Sword Sect has to give him some face."
"No, I mean, think about it, if we really want to go, how are we going to get in?" Qiao Lingshan said, "You might have to dress up as a woman again."
Feng Ye almost fainted.
The group entered Liu's mansion, but Jimo Shu did not go in. Instead, she waited outside under the willow tree, kicking stones, bored.
She was wearing quite a lot today, at least she covered up all the necessary parts, so when they walked together on the street people wouldn't turn around in surprise.
Back when they were in the Demon Sect, everyone, including Niu Baiye, dressed like that, so she naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it. And when she went outside, no one dared to say anything. It was just that last time Yun Xian looked at her and said he wasn't used to seeing her wearing so much, Jimo Shu was stunned for a moment, and she's been holding her breath and remembering it ever since.
What tone? Does Yun Xian dislike her?
What do you mean by not used to it? Is it okay to wear more? What's wrong with her wearing more? Just wear it!
It has to be said that changes in appearance will also have an impact on a person's temperament. Jimo Shu used to look very "devilish", but now she wears ordinary clothes and throws away the messy black lipstick, she looks especially like——
Xue Lingxiu: "From the Hehuan Sect."
"..." Ji Rongxue said silently: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
No matter whether it is the Demon Sect or the Hehuan Sect, they are all at odds with Baldy.
Yun Xian hadn't meant it that way at all. She just said it casually, not realizing how much her words would lead people to think about it. Seeing Jimo Shu waiting for her, she didn't ask any more questions and skipped the "I'm not waiting for you! I'm just passing by!" part. She said, "Lady Saint, do you want to go to Xuanbao Pavilion together? After you get the golden bell, let's go to the restaurant for dinner. Brother Xue seems to be willing to treat us."
Xue Lingxiu: "Say it again if you have the guts."
Yun Xian: "Brother Xue wants to treat us."
Xue Lingxiu hit Yun Xian's head with his folding fan. With a clang, a crisp sound like metal hitting stone clashed. Suddenly, both of them fell silent: "..."
It’s louder than the Buddhist bell at eight in the morning.
"Xuanbao Pavilion?" It was no problem for her to go to Xuanbao Pavilion. Jimo Shu asked, "What should I do there?"
"Of course you have to go! You are one of the main forces in this mission. Without you, no one knows what to do." Yun Xian put his arm around her shoulder as a matter of course, "Let's go..."
Such terrifying strength appeared again! It was definitely because Yun Xian was too strong, not because Jimo Shu didn't even try to break free!
The Xuanbao Pavilion was still as lively as usual.
This is the Qiankun City branch. It seems that every branch of Xuanbao Pavilion will adapt to the local architectural style and follow the local customs. The Qiankun City branch looks golden and has a strong smell of copper. Yun Xian wonders if the Xuanbao Pavilion branch in the west will also put some Buddha statues and wooden fish or something, so that the monks can knock the wooden fish when they feel like doing so.
...Amitabha, what's with the wooden fish addiction? I'm sorry to the Buddha, and I'm talking nonsense.
"Why is it so lively today?" Yun Xian was almost squeezed to the point where his bamboo hat tilted. He grabbed a random older brother and asked, "Big brother, what's going on today?"
The grumpy older brother: "Why are you asking me? Can't you see for yourself?"
Yun Xian bared his teeth: "If I could see, why would I ask you? Huh?"
"..." The eldest brother's eyes quickly turned kind: "Today is the day when the hero ranking changes every month. Everyone is checking to see if their ranking has risen."
No wonder it’s so crowded, it’s like the final exam results are out.
Xue Lingxiu used some magical silver note exchange techniques and led everyone to the second-floor private room. Not only did they not have to squeeze, but the view was also excellent. Yun Xian pulled the reluctant Jimo Shu to sit down and exclaimed in surprise, "This chair is so soft."
Jimo Shu: "Don't touch me!"
Ji Rongxue glanced at Xue Lingxiu and said coldly, "How much silver did you spend? I'll give you half."
Xue Lingxiu was used to Yun Xian's unfilial behavior, so when she saw someone offering to share the burden, she was inexplicably moved. "No need. This is nothing to me."
"Yeah." Ji Rongxue smiled slightly and said, "I knew you would say that."
Xue Lingxiu tightened her grip and took a deep breath: "...you guys!"
It's only a matter of time before I get so angry that I have a stroke.
There are so many people here that the manager is almost too busy to maintain order, let alone get the golden bell. Let's wait until the crowd disperses before going.
Besides, everyone was curious about whether they were moving up in the hero rankings.
Today, the tabloids finally became circulated. What's more, the people here are extremely concerned about every little movement in the martial arts world. When the Smiling Buddha task list on the Xuanbao Pavilion spontaneously combusted without wind, many people had already vaguely guessed who had accomplished this. Now, it turned out to be a familiar name.
Yun Xian, this name has appeared no less than three or four times recently, and each time it was in an unexpected place.
Yun Xian sat at the top, listening to the people below enthusiastically discussing themselves:
"Yun Xian again? I remember she was only at the Golden Core stage during the Four-way War. How come she's already at the Out-of-Body stage now? She's truly incredibly talented!"
"After all, she is the daughter of the head of the Sword Pavilion... The Sword Pavilion was once glorious, so it's normal for a little genius to emerge now."
"He has the demeanor of a young hero, not bad, not bad! But why hasn't this portrait been updated yet? It's already old."
"Well, I think I heard a rumor that she has some...something...cough cough cough about Su Chi!"
"What the heck?! Please explain it clearly! Oh my god, I'm so anxious!"
"No way?! Aren't these two senior brothers and sisters? Is this kind of combination very popular recently?? Tell me more!"
Yun Xian: “…”
Why not just praise her? Why bring up the scandal? That's too much!
The people below changed the topic very quickly and began to spread out again:
"Hey, you just mentioned this. Does Su Chi know about it? How did he react? Is there anyone present? Come out and tell me!"
"It is said that Su Chi's face immediately turned cold, and he stormed off without a word! How could he so easily pluck such a precious flower?"
"How bizarre! Didn't you and I hear the same version? I heard Su Chi blushing and his heart pounding as he stared at the seriously injured Yun Xian, saying in a deep voice, 'When you wake up, we'll tell each other our feelings'..."
"You heard it while you were lying down in the pit, right?! And this is obviously a rumor, okay?! Who has ever seen him blush?! His face stinks like a stone in a cesspool every day!!"
"Stop the personal attacks! You're just jealous that he's more handsome than you!"
The topic of "Will Su Chi blush?" almost led to a quarrel on the spot. The group of people sitting in the private rooms on the second floor had stiff expressions, not knowing whether they should listen or not.
Especially Qiao Lingshan, her eyes were almost blinking out leaving afterimages.
Only Jimo Shu was unhappy and asked, "What's there to say?"
She felt that watching some people fall in love was worse than watching an old woman sew shoe soles. Forget about anything else, just look at Su Chi; he's so boring and dull. How could Yun Xian possibly like this? He's worse than Niu Baiye, who at least can play bullfighting when he's bored.
Yun Xian agreed. "Stop talking nonsense! This is too embarrassing! Otherwise, Senior Brother will be angry again." At this moment, the enormous curtain in the center of the Xuanbao Pavilion suddenly dropped, revealing countless names written in gold pens, shimmering like flowing light. It was a rare and extraordinary sight.
Heroes List!
Yun Xian immediately said, "It's coming out, it's coming out, look! Look!"
Everyone understood her feelings. Although Ji Rongxue was not very interested in this matter, they all looked up.
In an instant, the heroes' list began to fluctuate violently, and the words arranged on it began to blur and rotate. Yun Xian still remembered that he was ranked 233rd on the heroes' list last time, and he had been staring at the small light spot, watching it soar up like a rocket!
200 people!
150 people!
100 people!!
Just as the beam of light was about to break through double digits, it unfortunately stalled, finally getting stuck at 100. The two gold-plated characters "Yun Xian" slowly appeared on the hero list:
[Yun Xian (18 East Realm Sword Pavilion) Nickname: Number One in the World...]
Yun Xianxin was so nervous that his heart was in his throat. When he realized that only four words were displayed because the following text was too long, he immediately became optimistic.
As long as she can't see it, she doesn't care whether he is the best swordsman in the world or the best dog in the world.
Ji Rongxue ranked 88th, Xue Lingxiu 96th, Qi Zhiye 89th, and Su Chi was temporarily ranked 34th due to being single for many years. I don't know who was so wicked as to put Jimo Shu on the hero list. However, because of her more shady history, she was pushed all the way down to over 500th place. Jimo Shu's face suddenly became uglier than socks that hadn't been washed in ten days: "...Who put you there?! Get out here! Are you looking for death?!"
"Lady Saint, don't be like this!" Yun Xian quickly pulled her down, appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her, "No matter what, as long as you're on the list, it's a kind of affirmation of you. Positive affirmation! Right? Just be happy, there's no need to get angry about this. Look, although my strength is definitely more than 100th, I can only be grateful..."
The list of heroes was finally finalized. A stream of light slowly pressed down on Yun Xian, and the 99th place finally appeared.
Zhong Changyao (20??) Nickname: Yajian (Former Name: Jiang...)
Yun Xian: “…”
Everyone: “…”
"Who's in line? Who's in line?!" Yun Xian flipped the table in anger. "Get out here! How on earth is this thing in front of me?! Are you asking for a fight?!"
