Luo Jiujiang broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. He immediately declined repeatedly and quickly selected a location for the Huabiao relocation. You Su looked very regretful and said, "Then let's not fill it up for now. I will always keep Shaoyang Lake for Brother Luo. If you want it, please let me know."
Luo Jiujiang: "..." Such a big lake can be filled up at will. He really wants to ask Ah Su if you are Jingwei.
Regardless, this part was over, and the two chatted for a bit, and somehow the conversation turned to Luo Jiujiang's actions since entering the academy. This topic had already been raised once before by the casual cultivator Xu Ye, so it was a precaution and prevented Luo Jiujiang from blushing too much.
He could get away with it with a laugh when Xu Ye gave him a half-joking, half-serious compliment, but he felt a little embarrassed when You Su praised him so seriously, one by one.
Although You Su hadn't been particularly happy these past few years, and his temperament was somewhat soft and complacent, he still had a broad perspective. After itemizing everything that had happened since Luo Jiujiang entered the academy, he opened the window and, with a half-dead look, pointed towards the three groups of people in the distance at Chou Peak. "I think Brother Luo is going to make a name for himself soon. Did you win the Japanese bet in the competition? Who is your opponent?"
"Isn't it natural for Japan to surrender to the Heavens?" Luo Jiujiang said with a smile, "It is said that there are always only a few people in the Sun-character competition of the big competition? My opponent this time is the Chou Peak Master of Zhan Peak."
"It's Senior Brother Qiu..." You Su closed his eyes in deep thought. True to his gentlemanly ways, he never judged anyone behind their back. Even when he had a judgment in mind, he simply said softly, "I think among his peers, Brother Luo is no less capable than anyone else. I think... accumulating experience before a breakthrough is the key. After this round of competition, Brother Luo will become famous."
Luo Jiujiang joked, "Am I not famous yet?"
"It's a fame that's even greater than it is now, a kind of fame that the academy has never had since its establishment." You Su said softly.
Having said this, he turned around, curved his eyes, and smiled endlessly. He said to Luo Jiujiang very seriously: "I'm not surprised at all, because Brother Luo is such a person who can create miracles."
"Brother Luo himself is like a miracle."
"I am lucky enough to meet Brother Luo."
Luo Jiujiang was touched by this straightforward and sincere praise. He usually moved others, but it was rare for others to move him today. He patted You Su's shoulder, turned his gaze to Shaoyang Lake, and repeated the words he had said that day on the lake, "My friend gave me a golden sword."
"Yes." You Su also agreed with a smile: "My friend gave me the golden sword."
————————
At the moment Luo Jiujiang defeated Qiu Shi on stage, two people floated down from the peak of Lefeng Mountain. One of them wore a green robe, full of romantic charm, and the other wore a black dress, with a mysterious aura. Wherever they walked, the crowd unconsciously made way for them.
The man in the blue robe was elegant and distinguished, a man of refined appearance, known throughout the academy as Mr. Gongyi. The other man, on the other hand, looked unfamiliar. He had pale skin, a prominent nose bridge, and eyes as dark as will-o'-the-wisp, giving off an aura of indifference and a repulsive aura.
This man in black probably isn't from the academy, otherwise, how come none of the students in the academy have ever seen someone with such distinctive characteristics?
The students of Qinglong whispered to each other and finally came up with a unified answer - whether in terms of temperament, style or body shape, this gentleman looked very much like Senior Brother Yin's father.
Mr. Gongyi and the two men suspected to be Senior Brother Yin's father were traveling all the way, their destination being the platform where Luo Jiujiang and Qiu Shi were. For some reason, the perceptive onlookers had a subtle illusion that the usually elegant Mr. Gongyi seemed to have a slight limp today.
At this time, Luo Jiujiang was holding his sword across Qiu Shi's neck. The audience was in an uproar because of this result, but he politely said "Thank you".
Amidst the clamor of thousands of people, there were only two special voices, as clear as the rising sun after parting the morning mist, and they reached his ears completely.
"Look at this kid, it's no exaggeration to say he's the best below the Golden Core stage."
"Don't praise me like that." The owner of the second voice said gloomily, "It's easy to lose it by praising me. I've tried it."
That voice sounded so familiar, like... like...
Luo Jiujiang turned his head excitedly and saw Mr. Gongyi, who was always glowing, and the man beside him. Unfortunately, the man was standing upright with a face that was completely unfamiliar to Luo Jiujiang.
Luo Jiujiang sighed deeply, jumped off the stage with a melancholy look, and walked over to the two of them. For some reason, the stranger stared at him with a cold, heavy gaze that made Luo Jiujiang's back tingle. He bit back the words, "Nice to meet you, senior. Hello, young man."
He first bowed to Mr. Gongyi and called out, "Sir." He was just waiting to see if Mr. Gongyi was willing to introduce him.
But for some reason, Mr. Gongyi suddenly couldn't help laughing. He had always been as elegant as a famous scholar, but now he was laughing wildly and stamping his feet. And the two eyes staring at Luo Jiujiang suddenly became as sharp as blades, scratching his back and causing a dull pain.
"Let's just keep the barbecued pork," the tall, thin man in black robes whispered. His voice wasn't hoarse or dull, but it held a strange sneer and a chill, yet surprisingly pleasant to the ear. He slowly opened his hands, tucked into his sleeves, revealing the faint shape of something beneath them.
It was a long whip.
Luo Jiujiang's mind buzzed, his consciousness racing through his brain like crazy, signaling impending danger—Run! Run! The farther the better!
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
This...that...could it be...
Luo Jiujiang: “!!!”
