Chapter 109 Undercurrent
Emperor Wu of Qin asked Baili Qingyun expectantly, "Is there any water left in the water bag? How about you pray again and pour another cup of water over to King Chang to help him attract some fish?"
"The Crown Prince and Prince Chang are brothers, so naturally they should help each other and take good care of each other!"
Look, only a shameless person can say such words.
Baili Qingyun felt extremely contemptuous in his heart.
When there is benefit, we are brothers; when there is no benefit, we are enemies.
He always stabs people in the back and uses insidious tricks to harm others. How can you call him a brother?
Brothers shit!
You have the nerve to say that.
What a big face!
Baili Qingyun had long experienced Emperor Wu of Qin's partiality, so how could she not be on guard against him?
He had already ordered Jingyu, who was following him, to drink up all the remaining water in the water bag.
Now the water bag is empty.
Seeing that Baili Qingyun was unmoved, he did not agree.
Emperor Wu of Qin's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Why? You don't want to?"
There was deep anger and strong murderous intent hidden in his tone, which was poured out mercilessly.
The temperature around me was frighteningly cold.
The people around were so frightened that they were silent and dared not make a sound.
Baili Qingyun took the water bag from Jingyu and shook it vigorously, but there was no sound of water inside. He then turned the bag upside down, but still not a drop of water came out.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that there's no water left."
"Then go get some more water! Do I need to remind you of something so simple?"
Emperor Wu of Qin said it as a matter of course.
Baili Qingyun had a sarcastic smile on his face, but his expression was calm.
"This isn't just any water. I discovered a clear mountain spring while gathering herbs at the royal hunting grounds. The water was refreshing and delicious, so I filled a water bag and stored it."
"Who knew it would be so useful?"
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Qin felt a little embarrassed and angry.
He shook his sleeves vigorously, walked back to the platform and sat upright.
As if nothing had happened.
Staring intently at the outcome of the game.
In fact, he was still very unwilling in his heart.
He didn't expect Huo Yuchen to do such a thing, which ruined all his plans.
Master Wu Chi, who was sitting on his right, remained silent.
It was as if all the disturbances outside had nothing to do with him. Standing beside him were two of his direct disciples, a man and a woman, each with a solemn expression on their faces.
It is said that Master Wu Chi has three direct disciples in total, and this competition is prepared for the fourth direct disciple.
Master Wu Chi is about sixty years old, not tall and slightly fat. He looks like a rich old man and does not look like a master at all.
However, those eyes were extremely sharp, like the pupils of a ferocious beast, hiding treachery, cruelty and murder.
And the look of contempt that looks down on all living beings.
His two direct disciples, both in their thirties, had tense faces and were somewhat serious. They wore slightly tight clothes, giving off a clean and neat look.
Lin Pianran was not far away from them. She looked at them several times and then looked away.
For some reason, when she looked at the female disciple, she always felt that she looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
But after digging deep into my memory for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a clue.
So I stopped thinking about it.
If you can't remember but still try to remember, you will only be causing yourself trouble.
She would not waste her energy internally for no reason and give her enemies an advantage.
There is no benefit in doing this.
The game time is one and a half hours.
The game is coming to an end.
Emperor Wu of Qin's expression is hard to describe: disappointment, loneliness, and deep depression.
The result was basically a foregone conclusion, and even as the emperor of a country, he was completely powerless to change the situation.
Soon, the final result was revealed.
Huo Yuchen caught a total of 225 fish, ranking first on the list.
King Chang caught 154 fish and ranked second.
The other contestants were of similar level, with most of them having around forty or fifty items.
In the end, Huo Yuchen got the secret book of "Deadly Divine Sword Technique", which was considered to be the fulfillment of his wish.
When Huo Yuchen was young, he had been practicing martial arts mainly based on swordsmanship. Of course, in addition to swordsmanship, he also dabbled in swordsmanship and reached the level of proficiency.
Huo Yuchen wanted to use this secret book to improve his swordsmanship.
When he took the secret book from Master Wu Chi, he looked calm, neither arrogant nor impatient.
When Master Wu Chi looked at Huo Yuchen's handsome face, his eyes were filled with tiny lights and his face was filled with astonishment.
Huo Yuchen felt extremely uncomfortable facing his gaze and frowned slightly.
The two disciples standing behind Master Wu Chi looked at Huo Yuchen with malicious eyes, and even had strange smiles on their faces.
Extremely dazzling!
Lin Pianran watched all of this secretly without saying a word.
She felt that Master Wuchi and his disciple seemed to have come to Mingyue Villa specifically.
As for their purpose, it is unknown.
We can only know their true identities when the mystery is revealed.
Lin Pianran had a vague feeling that these two days at Mingyue Villa would definitely not be peaceful, and perhaps something big was about to happen.
She secretly became more vigilant.
King Chang was extremely dissatisfied with the result, but he managed to control his emotions and did not do anything extreme.
At this time, Manor Master Wang stepped forward and said loudly, "Tonight, a welcome banquet will be held in the manor to welcome all the emperors and nobles, as well as Master Wuchi and his companions."
“We also invite all distinguished guests to actively participate!”
Many people were excited after hearing this.
But Lin Pianran felt that the banquet was not a good one.
There will inevitably be people who will be happy and people who will suffer.
There is still excitement to watch.
On the way back to the wing room, Lin Pianran took Huo Yuchen to a pavilion.
He whispered, "Regarding the secret book, Your Highness, please check it carefully. Is there any problem?"
"But I feel that the intentions of Master Wuchi and his apprentice are not pure. They seem to have ulterior motives. We must be careful of the malicious intent they occasionally reveal."
"Especially those two disciples, they don't give me a good impression!"
"It seems that Prince Chang and Gu Qingcheng are also holding back a lot of evil intentions. They won't give up easily. I don't know what conspiracy and tricks they will use next."
"Also, pay more attention to the Duke of Song's Mansion and don't be blinded by kinship."
Huo Yuchen held Lin Pianran's hand and listened attentively.
After listening, he also expressed his own thoughts.
"Master Wuchi and his disciple do have some impure thoughts. I can sense that too. The way that old man looks at me makes me feel a little nauseous."
"I've decided that I only want the secret manual. I'm not going to bother with that nonsense of becoming your disciple. I'm afraid I'll be disgusted."
"It's fine if they don't bother me, but if they dare to provoke us, I won't be a pushover!"
"With my martial arts skills, I'd also like to have a hearty fight with him to see what level this so-called master is at."
