Chapter 335 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 36
Shen Xinran quietly asked Yuan Feiping, who was closest to her, "Third Senior Brother, who is that old man?"
Yuan Feiping glanced at Qiao Nangen, who was walking in front, and lowered his voice, "That's Master's junior fellow apprentice, named Tian Yunshen. He's never had a good relationship with Master. When he was young, he wasn't very talented, and was always suppressed by Master. Later, when Master reached a bottleneck, he suddenly rose rapidly. Every time he saw Master, he would mock and ridicule him."
Tan Jingxue also sighed and said, "I met them when I accompanied Senior Brother to a competition ten years ago. They won the competition and talked Senior Brother down. Senior Brother's loyalty was almost broken. In the end, it was Master who invited Yin Xiu to help him find hope again."
Shen Xinran nodded thoughtfully. She only knew that the four old men from the Heavenly Sword Sect were recruited by the Heavenly Sword Sect, but she had no idea there was such a past. Indeed, if they hadn't been bullied in the High Heaven Sect, who would be willing to come to the second-ranked Heavenly Sword Sect?
Shen Xinran followed Qiao Nangen into an inn, and after Qiao Nangen booked a room, he went into his own room. "I need to rest for a while, don't disturb me."
Shen Xinran watched Qiao Nangen close the door and cast a barrier. She sighed, because she felt that Qiao Nangen seemed to be trapped in a state of self-consumption.
But Shen Xinran didn't let this emotion affect her for long. She turned to Tan Jingxue with a smile, "Second Senior Sister, it's almost noon. Let's go out for dinner. It's my treat."
Tan Jingxue frowned slightly when she heard this. "What's the point of eating? It's better to take the Qigong Pill. The competition is only half a month away, and we can still practice in the inn."
Chen Xinran affectionately took Tan Jingxue's arm and started to act coquettishly, "It's too boring for me to eat alone, so just come with me! Besides, there's no rush to practice right now."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Tan Jingxue's eyes, but she finally nodded, "Okay, but only this time."
Shen Xinran then turned to Yuan Feiping and said with a smile, "Third Brother, come along!"
After hearing this, Yuan Feiping quickly waved his hand and refused, "There are too many people outside, you guys can go, I won't join in the fun."
Tan Jingxue glared at Yuan Feiping and said, "Just go when I tell you to. If you don't go out and interact with people more, you're going to become an idiot!"
Yuan Feiping lowered his head with a look of grievance, "Okay then."
Satisfied, Shen Xinran turned and walked out, only to find Hu Changfeng following her. She frowned, "I remember I didn't invite you."
Hu Changfeng just smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Junior Sister is treating me, how can I miss this opportunity."
Shen Xinran snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more. He walked out of the inn with his head held high.
She asked a local and learned that the restaurant with the best reputation in Yuqing City was Menghuilou, so she went straight to her destination.
The reputation of Menghuilou was indeed not groundless. Although it was not yet dinner time, there were already several tables of guests in the restaurant.
Shen Xinran chose a table in the corner. She waved to the waiter and said in a clear voice, "Waiter, bring us one portion of all your special dishes."
The restaurant served the food quickly. Just as Shen Xinran was about to eat, a discordant voice suddenly rang out from the restaurant's door, carrying obvious sarcasm and disdain. "I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be the Tianjian Sect's perennial number two!"
When Shen Xinran looked up, he saw three disciples wearing Lingxiao Sect uniforms standing at the door of the restaurant, and the one who made the sound just now was the one walking in front.
Shen Xinran frowned, looked at Tan Jingxue, and teased, "Senior Sister, did you hear that? Why is there a dog barking?"
Zhong Xiaolong's face flushed with anger. "Who are you calling a dog?"
Chen Xinran pursed his lips and said, "I'll tell whoever talks to me."
Zhong Xiaolong sneered, "You're only proud now, but don't cry when you lose the game."
Shen Xinran narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then I'll wait and see whether you lose or I win."
Zhong Xiaolong was stunned for a moment before realizing what the difference was between the two methods. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your senior brother was just as good at talking back then, but he still lost to me in the end. His loyalty was almost destroyed."
Tan Jingxue couldn't bear it any longer, she stood up and yelled at Zhong Xiaolong: "What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Yuan Feiping quickly grabbed Tan Jingxue's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Sister, players are prohibited from causing trouble during the competition. Violators will be expelled from the competition. Let's just be patient!"
Tan Jingxue then sat down reluctantly, but with the people from Lingxiao Sect around, she couldn't eat at all.
Compared with Tan Jingxue, Shen Xinran could be said to be feasting on food. Since leaving Tianjian Sect, she had spent nearly half a month on the flying sword, eating fasting pills every day. Her desire for hot meals was simply beyond words.
Of course, the most important thing is that she never gets consumed by self-inflicted troubles because of insignificant people.
Zhong Xiaolong and his group finished eating, but Tan Jingxue had barely touched her chopsticks. Zhong Xiaolong walked over to her and said smugly, "In my opinion, you guys are just servile. You insist on challenging yourself to do things you think are impossible."
Tan Jingxue clenched her fists in anger, but she could do nothing about Zhong Xiaolong because she knew that Zhong Xiaolong was probably trying to provoke her on purpose, and after she took action, he would play the victim to the Medical Association.
Zhong Xiaolong swaggered away with his group, leaving behind a trail of smug laughter. "Hahaha, they're all trash!"
Shen Xinran looked at Tan Jingxue, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Second Senior Sister, do you want to beat them up?"
Tan Jingxue said unhappily, "Of course I don't want to, but during the competition, players are not allowed to cause trouble. A little impatience can ruin a big plan."
There was a hint of amusement in Shen Xinran's tone, "Then let's not get discovered."
As night fell, Zhong Xiaolong and two medical practitioners from Lingxiao Sect finished their dinner and returned to the inn chatting and laughing.
On the way, a disciple asked with a hint of concern, "Brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to ridicule the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect so much today?"
Zhong Xiaolong looked disdainful and said, "What are you afraid of? They are just pushovers. They don't dare to really attack us."
However, just as he finished speaking, several people suddenly felt a tightness on their heads, sacks were put over their heads, and their vision suddenly fell into darkness.
The medical practitioner who was speaking just now shouted in panic: "Do you know who we are? Let us go!"
Shen Xinran calmly made a gesture, and Tan Jingxue quickly pulled him into a deep alley.
Yuan Feiping stood in the middle. Although he was reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and followed in with the sack.
Shen Xinran first slapped the sack containing Zhong Xiaolong fiercely before pulling him into the alley.
Hu Changfeng did not take any action. He just stood quietly at the entrance of the alley, saying that he was helping to keep watch, but he had already set up a barrier with his spiritual power, so no one would notice even if there was a lot of noise in the alley.
