Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Stay away from them
After Rong Xu came back, everyone was very happy. Several elders gathered together and praised Jiang Bai and Lin Yan.
Lin Yan was embarrassed by the praise.
When the crowd dispersed, only Lu Li stayed. Lin Yan was busy placing bets. Some of the outer disciples were the banker and bet on the rankings, betting on who would win. Lin Yan took out half of his savings and bet on Jiang Bai.
There was no problem with the fifth senior sister.
Some bet on Guiyuan Sect, and some bet on other sects. The most were Jiang Mao from Zhenwu Academy, Wanqi Song from Wujiu Temple, Zhongli Mujing from Baiwu Village, and Jiang Bai.
Two days of competition were enough to see everyone's strength.
Lin Yan shouted until his face turned red and his neck became thick: "Senior Sister will definitely win the championship, you guys are doomed to lose!"
"Senior Sister Jiang is indeed amazing, but you can't deny others. I think Senior Brother Zhongli is not bad. He is also in the Jindan stage. I heard that he is the young master of Baiwu Village!" said one of them.
The person behind him said: "That's right, he is still so handsome!" "
What does this have to do with looks?" Lin Yan retorted: "In terms of appearance, I am not bad!"
This is not the Miss World pageant.
"Senior Brother Lin is still in the Foundation Establishment stage, right?" someone asked.
Lin Yan nodded: "Yes."
The difference between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Jindan stage is not a little bit. The early Jindan stage can beat four or five Foundation Establishment peaks. That's why the master wanted him to break through before the Canghai Conference, but unfortunately he didn't succeed.
Lin Yan didn't care. He didn't want to stand out. He just wanted to not lose too badly.
Guiyuan Sect had strict rules. Normally, gambling was not allowed. The Canghai Club was held once every four years, so it was okay to be a little lively. The elders turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. The disciples also placed bets in private and didn't dare to challenge the elders.
Lin Yan came out and happened to meet Wu Nan.
"Brother Wu, are you here to place bets too?"
Wu Nan shook his head: "No, I'm waiting for my junior brother."
He didn't like the environment inside. The noise was a headache.
"Waiting for me?" Lin Yan was curious: "Does the Fourth Elder have any instructions?"
Wu Nan said: "It has nothing to do with Master. Junior brother performed well in this Canghai meeting. In just a few months, junior brother's cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building."
"Ah..." Lin Yan smiled, revealing two shallow pear vortices: "I have been working hard in the past few months!"
Trying hard to practice with the master.
Wu Nan looked at Lin Yan steadily: "Just now, junior brother placed a bet. Who did you bet on to win?"
"Of course it's the fifth sister!" Lin Yan said: "The fifth sister is absolutely no problem, I believe in her."
Although other sects also have Jindan disciples, they are all in the early stage of Jindan, and it is still unknown who will win.
"Junior brother is not bad." Wu Nan said, "It's just that you became my disciple too late. If you had become my disciple earlier, you would have definitely won the championship this time."
Lin Yan disagreed: "Senior Brother Wu thinks too highly of me. I'm lazy."
"I don't want to work hard at all."
"It's a pity that Master is too strict. I have to work hard."
If Su Jiuyuan hadn't been watching him all the time, Lin Yan wouldn't have wanted to practice dual cultivation. Master was too good to him, and he didn't want to always be a drag.
Wu Nan smiled: "The Immortal Master is also very strict with himself."
"I heard that the Immortal Master went to the dining hall today and scared the old teachers in the dining hall. In my memory, this should be the first time the Immortal Master went to the dining hall."
The Immortal Master himself doesn't need to eat. In the entire Fenghua Garden, only Lin Yan has not reached the Jindan stage and has not practiced fasting.
At that time, the Immortal Master took the food box, and it was self-evident who it was for.
Lin Yan was embarrassed: "Really? I don't know haha..."
Playing dumb,
there was no other way to explain. Master bringing food to his apprentice was simply a rebellion, especially since Rong Xu was still injured. Others didn't know, but he knew it very well.
Wu Nan asked tentatively: "Junior brother, you and the Immortal Venerable..."
"There's nothing between me and Master. Maybe he helped me because he saw that I was practicing too hard." Lin Yan hurriedly explained.
Wu Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is."
"The second match will start tomorrow, how are you preparing, Junior Brother?"
Lin Yan said: "Not bad, we should try our best to win, and win as many rounds as possible."
"What place did Senior Brother Wu get when he participated in the Canghai Association?"
Wu Nan: "..."
In that year, besides him, there were also Xi Minghua and Fang Siran, and he was out of the top ten.
Lin Yan reacted belatedly: "If I can get Senior Brother Wu's ranking, I will be satisfied."
The two chatted while walking towards Qianyuan Peak. As they were talking, a person came towards them. Lin Yan recognized him as Zhongli Mujing, who was discussed a lot just now.
"Junior Brother Lin." Zhongli Mujing nodded to Wu Nan and Lin Yan.
"Senior Brother Zhongli." Lin Yan smiled politely.
Zhongli Mujing also called Wu Nan "Senior Brother", but he didn't know him.
"I heard that Junior Brother Lin only became a disciple of the Immortal Venerable this year, but he performed very well in the competition yesterday. It shows that the Immortal Venerable has a good eye for people."
Lin Yan said, "Senior Brother Zhongli, you are overpraising me. I just did what every disciple should do."
He couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm. He was hiding yesterday, so he didn't know what was so good about him.
"Junior Brother Lin, do you have time to walk with me?"
Lin Yan looked at Wu Nan, Wu Nan frowned: "Junior Brother Zhongli, is there anything you want me to say that I can't hear?"
Zhongli Mujing smiled, his momentum was not weak at all: "Junior Brother Lin and I are of similar age. Although this is the first time we meet, I always feel friendly and want to get to know you."
He looks like Shang Zhuoyun, a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, and his smile is like a spring breeze. Maybe he is too similar to Shang Zhuoyun, Lin Yan has a good impression of him.
"I feel very friendly too!"
"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Zhongli has finally come here. As a disciple of Guiyuan Sect, I should treat him well. I will accompany Senior Brother Zhongli for a walk, you go back first."
"When I have time, I will chat with you."
Wu Nan: "You go ahead. I'll go back to practice."
While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Zhong Limujing, as if warning him.
Zhong Limujing smiled and said, "Senior Brother, take care."
Wu Nan almost turned around and couldn't stop.
Lin Yan and Zhong Limujing wandered around Qianyuan Peak. The weather was a bit cool in late autumn. The golden fallen leaves accompanied by the sunset cast a layer of hazy light on the two of them.
Lin Yan led the way while introducing the surrounding spiritual plants and buildings. Zhong Limujing listened quietly. The two were very close, so close that they could see the fluff on each other's faces.
So cute.
Like a chirping tit.
Baiwu Village is located in the north, and it is very cold in winter. The chubby tits will come out and move around, like flying floating Yuanzi.
Zhongli Mujing suddenly stretched out his hand, and Lin Yan dodged backward.
"There are fallen leaves." Zhongli Mujing's hand froze in place, pointing at the top of Lin Yan's head.
Lin Yan said "Oh" and shook the leaves off his head.
"Further ahead is the Second Elder's Wushuang Garden."
These courtyards didn't have names in the past. They were built after Shen Congchuan became the leader of the sect. They are peerless and unparalleled in the world.
"The Second Elder should not be here. Let's go to see him another day. I'll take you to look somewhere else."
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Lin Yan sent Zhongli Mujing back to Jin'an Peak and went to find Lin Qi on the way.
When Zhongli Mujing heard him mention Lin Qi's name, he wanted to follow him.
"Brother Zhongli, do you know my sister?"
Zhongli Mujing said, "I have met her once."
Lin Qing has never participated in the Canghai Conference. At most, she followed the elders to go through the motions. Her appearance is almost exactly the same as Lin Yan's. She is afraid that she will be too outstanding and expose Lin Yan's identity, so she is very low-key in various large occasions.
Now that Lin Yan has become Rong Xu's apprentice, she has fewer taboos. "Junior
Sister Lin's talent is better than mine." Zhongli Mujing said.
Lin Yan nodded: "My sister is indeed very talented. If it was my sister who became Master's disciple..."
Lin Qing has the same blood as him and can also be used by Master.
"That's not necessarily true." Zhongli Mujing said, "Junior Brother Lin is equally outstanding."
Lin Yan stretched his lips and said, "Junior Brother Zhongli, you don't have to comfort me. I understand. Although I am not gifted, I also have many advantages."
Able to eat, sleep, talk, and make people happy...
Zhongli Mujing was amused by Lin Yan and was in a very good mood. After
talking with Lin Qin, Lin Yan hurried back to Lanxi Courtyard. Rong Xu
was meditating to recover. The internal injuries he suffered this time were not light. It would take at least half a month to fully recover. After sending away several disciples during the day, Rong Xu set up a barrier outside the courtyard and did not allow anyone to enter.
Lin Yan was worried about the injuries on Rong Xu's body. On the surface, it seemed that there was no serious problem. What if the internal injuries were too serious and he secretly vomited blood without telling them?
He had to keep an eye on him to feel at ease.
Well, he can vomit blood during the day. After the elders visited, the master talked to the eldest senior brother and told him some things. He couldn't stay without seeing the situation. Lin Yan saw the barrier and tried it. He could actually go in.
Rong Xu didn't expect Lin Yan to come.
Before, except for dual cultivation and learning formations, Lin Yan stayed in his own yard and rarely came.
Before he came to him, Rong Xu opened his eyes.
"Master, are your injuries better?"
Rong Xu nodded: "You still have a competition tomorrow, you should go to bed early tonight."
"You can't dual cultivate."
Lin Yan almost jumped up: "What did the master say!"
He asked about Rong Xu's injuries. He was just concerned, not wanting to dual cultivate!
"I just wanted to come over and take a look. Master's injuries haven't healed yet. I don't know how serious his internal injuries are. Instead of imagining things, I'd better see it with my own eyes."
Anyway, he has slept here many times, so this time won't make a difference.
I'm sure Master won't mind.
Lin Yan got closer and closer, and Rong Xu's face was gloomy: "Who did you meet today?"
"I met a lot of people, junior brothers and sisters, Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Zhongli, and Sister!" Lin Yan said, "Why do you ask these questions, Master?"
"I used the cleansing technique, and I will definitely not bring in germs."
Rong Xu frowned and stretched out his hand towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan didn't understand, and obediently put his hand in Rong Xu's palm. Rong Xu suddenly exerted force, and Lin Yan's body was uncontrollably forward and fell into Rong Xu's arms.
"Master!"
Lin Yan exclaimed, Rong Xu held his arm: "Don't move."
"You smell bad."
Smell?
Lin Yan was confused, why couldn't he smell it, when did Master's nose become more sensitive than A-Po?
"Then..." Lin Yan paused: "Shall I use the cleansing technique a few more times?"
Rong Xu didn't say anything, Lin Yan didn't dare to fight, afraid of touching the wounds on his body, stayed quietly for a while, and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Master."
"I remember."
He was not used to staying in one posture for too long, and it was the same when he slept. He tossed and turned before falling asleep, and didn't know what happened after falling asleep. Anyway,
there should be no discomfort before going to bed, and all clothes and quilts must be arranged, otherwise I can't sleep. Rong Xu pulled it suddenly just now, and the clothes were a little awkward.
Rong Xu rubbed the back of Lin Yan's head: "Yan Yan."
"Stay away from them."
Lin Yan was puzzled: "Why?"
Senior Brother Wu is very good, Senior Brother Zhongli is not bad either, Master's intention is not to let him stay away from Sister...
