"Sect Master Su, I know you love your disciple dearly, but such flattery may not be a good thing. Although I am not a top genius, in terms of swordsmanship, I am second only to you," Bai Yuanhong said.
Bai Hao, standing to the side, quickly echoed, nodding obediently as he said:
"That's right, Sect Master Bai's swordsmanship is unparalleled. How can a junior like me compare to you?"
"Why don't you two have a competition?" Su Yuewan suggested, her face showing eagerness.
Bai Hao: “…”
[Damn! What does this woman mean? Is she trying to push me up there to my death?]
【If you're so capable, why don't you fight him?!】
Bai Yuanhong looked somewhat embarrassed again.
He certainly couldn't spar with Bai Hao; there would be no benefit in it, whether he won or lost.
Winning is a given, at most it might make Su Yuewan look bad—although that's unlikely.
But if we lose—that's absolutely impossible.
It would be of no benefit to him if the sect leader of the Inviting Moon Sect were to fight a disciple of the Falling Sea Sect.
"Hehe, Sect Master Su, you love your disciple too much. But no matter how intelligent your disciple is, he can't possibly be my match. If I were to actually compete with him, wouldn't that be too unfair to the world?" Bai Yuanhong chuckled.
Although he was telling the truth, Bai Hao still felt that this person seemed to be looking down on him.
"How about this? I'll choose one of my disciples to spar with your beloved student. Wouldn't that be fair and just?"
"Okay." Su Yuewan nodded, then turned to Bai Hao and said...
"Bai Hao, then you should have a match with Sect Master Bai's disciple and show off your swordsmanship."
Bai Hao was immediately stumped and muttered under his breath, "No, Sect Master, I haven't learned your swordsmanship yet, how am I supposed to fight?"
"If anyone's going to fight, it should be Fatty! Fatty is our mainstay!"
Su Yuewan didn't speak, but simply raised an eyebrow.
But Bai Hao understood what she meant from her raised eyebrow. "Just do what I tell you to do. Stop talking nonsense!"
Actually, she was quite hesitant inside.
Although Bai Hao has always acted mysteriously, most of the time, he seems like he really doesn't know anything.
If she loses, she will lose face.
But Bai Hao brought her so many surprises. Whether it was the Dao essence or the Death Sword essence, either of these would be enough to cause a huge upheaval if released, and they were all contained in him.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether Bai Hao was truly incompetent or just pretending to be crazy.
Bai Hao felt a thousand, ten thousand rejections in his heart.
But there was no turning back now. Bai Yuanhong had already chosen a fierce-looking disciple carrying a heavy sword to stand out, and dozens of eyes from the entire Luohai Sect were watching him.
Rounding it up, that's the center of attention!
If he were to cower in the spotlight, how could he ever rise to prominence in the sect again?
The image he has built up in front of his junior sister will completely collapse.
But,
If he were to be utterly thrashed, his pride would be utterly destroyed.
[What should I do? What should I do? If I lose, I'll lose face in front of my junior sisters!]
Seeing that the disciple of the Inviting Moon Sect had already stepped out—the competition was naturally to be held in the martial arts arena outside.
Looking at the clear sky outside, Bai Hao suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, and he prayed as he walked.
[Let it rain, let it rain! If it rains, we can't have the competition.]
He now has the mindset of a modern student desperately praying for rain during military training.
[God, I'd trade ten years of being single for a downpour!]
Su Yuewan suddenly found it a little funny; this guy was such a coward.
But at this moment,
"boom--!"
A deafening clap of thunder rolled in, and the entire sect's main hall seemed to tremble.
Immediately afterward, the once clear sky was covered with dark clouds at a visible speed, and thunder rumbled one after another, as if only the most powerful thunder could shatter this heavy darkness.
"Whoosh!"
The rain suddenly started, accompanied by gusts of wind and lightning. The raindrops splashed on the ground like a chaotic dance of demons.
The disciples outside were caught off guard by the rain and hurriedly ran into the sect's main hall to take shelter.
Wow! Is it really that effective?!
Bai Hao was stunned.
It seems that God is still being kind to us.
With this rain, the competition is definitely out of the question.
Although the sect's main hall is spacious, it is a very solemn place. How can it be used for fighting?
Moreover, there are so many junior brothers and sisters here now. What if someone is accidentally injured?
Therefore, the competition must be suspended!
"Sect Master, the wind and rain are fierce outside. In my opinion, we should reschedule the competition for another time," Bai Hao said respectfully, bowing his head.
Secretly, he was overjoyed.
"It seems there's no chance today, so we'll have to give up." Su Yuewan had no choice.
Surprisingly, this guy actually managed to summon rain.
You still dare to say there's no one in the sky?!
Bai Yuanhong didn't say anything about this. After waving the tall man back, he said calmly, "Actually, I came here today because there is an important matter I want to discuss with you, Sect Master Su. It concerns the ruins on the continent."
“Relics from the mainland?” Su Yuewan frowned slightly.
“That’s right. The continental ruins open every thirty years, and next year will be the day of the new round of opening. I think if our two sects join forces, we will definitely be able to obtain more rare and precious materials from the ruins,” Bai Yuanhong said calmly.
"I don't see the need for that. We've already explored the continental ruins countless times. How many rare and precious materials could we possibly have left? Besides, I've entered the continental ruins more times than any of you. There's no need for me to join forces with your Yaoyue Sect," Su Yuewan said casually.
She has her reasons for being confident.
In terms of familiarity with the continental ruins, no one on the Divine Radiance Continent can compare to her.
Joining forces with the Invitation Moon Sect would just be taking a share of their profits!
She would never do something so stupid.
"No, this time is different." Bai Yuanhong seemed to have anticipated Su Yuewan's response, but he wagged his finger.
"During your seclusion, the continental ruins underwent changes you were unaware of. The original continental ruins have been completely excavated, leaving only an empty shell. But the continental ruins that will reappear next year will be entirely new."
"This is a ruin you've never been to before, but your Luo Hai Sect didn't participate in the last mainland ruins either. Inside, our sects obtained some information about the new ruins that your Luo Hai Sect didn't have."
