Li Changting was surprised to see Su Qingqing interacting with her junior sister, and couldn't help but say, "It is said that the disciples of your peak all have strange temperaments and are not easy to provoke.
I haven't met you in previous years, but after meeting you today, I feel that you are very different from the rumors. You are all genuine people."
"Senior Brother Li, what you said really hits the nail on the head!"
Li Xiaoliu was so pleased with the compliment that he smiled and said, "Those are just rumors within the sect."
Li Changting showed an expression of approval and nodded, saying: "Just like my junior brother, most of his bad reputations are fabricated.
Don't be fooled by his cold and sullen appearance; he is actually very sincere and genuine towards others, just like a child."
When Xiang Jianjue heard this, he immediately picked up the wine glass and gave Li Changting a few big gulps.
Why does this guy want to make friends with everyone he sees? Aren’t there enough lessons learned from previous years?
And every time he heard such disgusting words, it made him feel creepy and uncomfortable.
Xiang Sheng looked at Xiang Jianjue in such an awkward state and smiled secretly with pursed lips.
Li Changting had kept his promise and was indeed taking good care of him. Aside from some rumors, this kid's situation in the Yuan Sword Clan should be pretty good.
"Have you heard? The top of the sword ranking yesterday was a cultivator from Dongzhou."
Suddenly, there was a loud conversation coming from the neighboring table, which attracted the attention of many people around.
The monk at the next table seemed unaware and continued chatting.
"It's not uncommon for a cultivator from Dongzhou to win the championship in recent years. How can this be considered surprising?"
"Hiss... Let me tell you, this time is different. Lu Yuncheng is a casual cultivator. He used his ranking to visit several sects to recruit disciples, but was rejected every time."
"Is this really true?"
"It was also his bad luck. The several elders he visited to recruit disciples were all people who excluded and hated the cultivators of Dongzhou."
"Then how did Lu Yuncheng react?"
"Of course he was angry. He openly declared under the Sword Tower that he would take the top spot today. As long as he was around, no cultivator from Xizhou would ever get the reward for being the top of the Sword Ranking!"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone on the second floor sneered, "How shameless! A mere cultivator from the East Continent thinks you can suppress all of us cultivators from the West Continent? Do you really think that there are no cultivators from our West Continent?"
“That’s right, without talking about those far away, let’s just talk about the Sword Sect disciples who entered the city yesterday.
If they really see Lu Yuncheng's rampant behavior, the true disciples might not bother to care, but the core disciples below will definitely stand up and fight for us, the Western Continent cultivators."
"Sword Sect?"
A purple-robed monk in the seat sneered, "I actually feel that the Sword Sect disciples cannot be relied upon."
As soon as this person said this, he immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the people around him.
"Fellow Daoist, this sword tower originally belonged to the Sword Sect. Now it is placed in Sword City for us, the outer sect cultivators, to train. It is quite a bold move!
You came here to train in the Sword Tower, and yet you still criticize the Sword Sect?"
"You have misunderstood, fellow Daoist."
The purple-robed cultivator quickly apologized with a smile, then sighed, "How could I possibly accuse the Sword Sect of wrongdoing? I just heard that Xiang Jianjue was among the disciples from the Sword Sect who came this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire second floor of the tavern suddenly became quiet.
When his name was suddenly mentioned, Xiang Jianjue paused with the cup in his hand, his eyes turned slightly cold, and he looked up at the purple-robed monk.
Li Changting was just listening for fun, but when he heard this, the smile on his face instantly faded.
The drunkenness in Su Qingqing's eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
Li Xiaoliu had the lowest cultivation level. After a few glasses of spiritual wine, he was already a little drunk and didn't pay any attention to the conversations around him.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became cold and quiet. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on. He was about to ask his junior sister secretly, but Xiang Sheng gave him a look and shook his head slightly.
Even my junior sister noticed that something was wrong. This is going to be a big deal!
Li Xiaoliu sobered up immediately.
At this time, the purple monk spoke again:
"I heard that Xiang Jianjue is a very arrogant person. Although he has already joined the Sword Sect, he still misses his Earth God Master in Dongzhou and is reluctant to find another Master."
"I have also heard about this matter."
A middle-aged monk in the seat snorted coldly:
"He's just a hypocritical villain. If he really cared about Master Dongzhou Earth God, why would he move west to join the Sword Sect? Wouldn't it be better for him to stay in Dongzhou and stay by Master's side?"
"In my opinion, the East Continent Earth God and Xiang Jianjue are just like each other, seeking fame and reputation. The stories about destroying the branch temples of all gods and seizing the center of the earth were all spread by the East Continent cultivators themselves. Who can tell whether they are true or not?"
"A mere female cultivator dares to be on par with Qin Tianque, claiming to be the number one evildoer in Dongzhou. She truly has no idea how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!"
Rumors were unpleasant, and Xiang Jianjue was used to hearing them. But when he heard that this group of people even fabricated his own master, his face immediately darkened.
Li Changting saw that the situation was not right, and immediately held his hand, shook his head slightly with a serious expression, and whispered to himself:
"They're trying to provoke you to show up. Don't fall for it."
Xiang Jianjue took a deep breath and his expression returned to calm, but the anger in his eyes did not diminish at all, but became even stronger.
Seeing the atmosphere was so heated, the purple-robed monk knew that the time had come, so he sighed and said, "Strike while the iron is hot."
"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's just talk about now.
Xiang Jianjue is so protective of Dongzhou. If Lu Yuncheng were defeated by our Xizhou cultivators, he would most likely stand up.
Regardless of his character, this person is indeed extremely talented and can be called a genius. If he takes the top spot on the Sword Ranking, how should we respond?"
Bang!
As soon as these words were spoken, a monk with a rather impatient temper slammed the table and stood up, cursing angrily.
"A disciple of the Earth God whose true identity is unknown really thinks he is the leader of Dongzhou? If that's the case, let's go and seek the true teachings of the Sword Sect!"
"That's right! Liang Haoming and Zhuang Teng, our two true disciples, are both cultivators from Xizhou. They will definitely uphold justice for us!"
