"Azhi and I both think this is a good opportunity for Hua Shi, and he just needs such an opportunity." Yi Zhan said, "Now Bai Heng's matter also happens to be related to Yuan Lake, so it would be perfect to let Hua Shi go and kill two birds with one stone."
Fang Wei hesitated for a moment without making any comment. Wen Zhong frowned and said, "But the opponent is the strongest swordsman. Aren't you afraid that he will encounter an accident?"
When this question was mentioned, Yi Zhan couldn't help but laugh, turned around and looked at Xuan Shuzhi and said, "You explain it."
Xuan Shuzhi also said: "You haven't traveled the world in these years, so you naturally don't know about this matter. Although that swordsman is indeed powerful, in fact, every sword test competition on Yuan Lake is almost always a suspense, because most of the elders of the major sects on Xuanqing Continent cherish their reputation. Although this swordsman is very famous, he is a newcomer who has just appeared in recent years after all, and he doesn't look very old. People who are proud of their status will not easily come to challenge that swordsman."
Wen Zhong said: "Then the young disciples..."
Xuan Shuzhi said as a matter of course: "The young disciple is naturally no match for that swordsman."
Wen Zhong suddenly understood, and Fang Wei also said, "So no one has ever been better than him in all these years."
Xuan Shuzhi nodded: "That's right."
Yi Zhan continued his words, "The competition with the mysterious swordsman has always been a one-off competition, so most of the major sects are willing to let their young disciples go to compete. This has developed over the years and has gradually formed a trend in the Xuanqing Continent. Every five years, everyone will send outstanding disciples from each sect to Yuan Lake to compete with each other, and the three winners of the competition will be qualified to challenge the mysterious swordsman. In the challenge, the longer the person can hold out against the mysterious swordsman, the more powerful he is."
Wen Zhong asked curiously, "How many moves can the strongest person so far survive in his hands?"
"One hundred and six moves."
Wen Zhong asked again, "Who is it?"
"Ning Shan," Yi Zhan said, "He was the most talented disciple of Tianwen Mountain thirty years ago, and now he has become the leader of Tianwen Mountain. He challenged the mysterious swordsman three times in a row, but after becoming the leader, he was unable to continue challenging."
Even the leader of a sect could only withstand a hundred moves from that swordsman, which shows that the swordsman's strength should not be underestimated.
Wen Zhong asked tentatively, "If it were you, what do you think your chances of winning a duel with him would be?"
Yi Zhan, who had been answering fluently just now, was suddenly stunned at this moment. He hesitated for a long time and was unable to give an answer. He just touched his collar and shook his wrist, hesitating and unwilling to speak.
Xuan Shuzhi lowered his head and chuckled: "Let me say it for him. No matter if it's me or Yi Zhan, if we fight against that swordsman, the odds of winning and losing are 30-70, 30-35 for us and 70-70 for him."
Wen Zhong nodded thoughtfully: "That's why you guys are unwilling to fight him, and the masters from other sects are the same."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Shuzhi looked at Wen Zhong and couldn't help but wonder whether the evil spirit in this guy had come out again, or he had been affected by the evil spirit for too long and his mind was no longer clear.
Wen Zhong coughed lightly and looked back at Fang Wei, then changed his tone and said, "Palace Master, I agree with them. It is a good idea to let Hua Shi go to Yuan Lake."
Since Wen Zhong also thinks this is a good move, then the next step is to see what Fang Wei thinks.
Fang Wei didn't say anything from beginning to end. It was only until now that she listened to their discussion that Fang Wei finally said, "I have no objection."
Xuan Shuzhi was not surprised at all that Fang Wei agreed to this matter. Since he had brought up this matter, it meant that he had already taken Fang Wei's opinion into consideration. Now all that was left was to notify Hua Shi and give him a few more instructions before he left.
After the matter was agreed upon, Xuan Shuzhi did not forget what Fang Wei had said not long ago. He looked up at Fang Wei and said, "Evil Master, you said earlier that you had something to tell us. What was it?"
Fang Wei never wastes time. If he speaks, it must be something important. However, now that Xuan Shuzhi has asked him, Fang Wei suddenly changes his mind: "Let's talk about this later. I'll tell you when Hua Shi and I come back from Yuan Lake."
Xuan Shuzhi was a little suspicious, but seeing Fang Wei say this, he couldn't guess, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."
The next thing was Hua Shi who came over from next door after finishing his practice. When he came, Wen Zhong had already hidden in the room with the Hua Mark again. Fang Wei went to meet Hua Shi, but before he could say anything, Hua Shi picked him up.
Under the gazes of Xuan Shuzhi and others, Hua Shi held the white cat in his arms and rubbed it hard. Even the mark on the wall seemed to be frightened, flashing several times and almost revealing its true form.
After a long while, Xuan Shuzhi calmed down and told him that he was planning to send Hua Shi to Yuan Lake.
Hua Shi nodded and listened carefully to Xuan Shuzhi's words. Unexpectedly, he did not look bitter this time. Instead, he scratched his head and asked himself when he should set out and whether he would meet Zhou Liyuxing and others.
Xuan Shuzhi was used to seeing Hua Shi making a fuss and being trembling with fear when he went out, but now seeing him so serious and calm, he was a little uncomfortable and couldn't help asking, "Are you not worried this time?"
Hua Shi shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, Master, you said that we were just sparring to a certain extent, so why should I worry?"
That wasn't the way he said it not long ago.
Xuan Shuzhi didn't know Hua Shi well enough, so even though he was a little surprised, he didn't find it too strange. But Fang Wei was different. He had been with Hua Shi day and night for a long time, so how could he not know what kind of person this guy was.
So when Hua Shi returned to his room to pack his luggage for tomorrow's departure, Fang Wei took the initiative to ask, "Are you really not worried?"
Hua Shi was cleaning up when he heard the voice and was almost startled. When he realized it was the system that made the sound, he couldn't help laughing. He sat down, holding his head and muttered softly, "You haven't taken the initiative to talk to me for a long time. I'm almost not used to hearing you take the initiative to talk to me now."
Rather than being a complaint, Hua Shi's words sounded more like a act of coquettishness.
Hua Shi did not wait for Fang Wei to answer and said excitedly: "Now my master and his friends always use my space, saying that they want to practice, but I have never seen them practice seriously. Do they no longer need to practice after becoming the sect leader? Why have I never seen those masters practice? Every day they are either handling things in the sect or outside the sect to handle things?"
Fang Wei: "Maybe it's because I'm too busy."
The fact is that Yi Zhan and the others are indeed typical examples of people who don't like to practice, and Xuan Shuzhi is the laziest among them. When Fang Wei was in charge of the evil way, he felt very troubled by the fact that people did not practice every day but fought everywhere.
Of course he would not tell Hua Shi the truth.
Hua Shi said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, I think they actually want to pet cats every time they go to Yunxiu Pen Space."
Fang Wei: “…”
He quickly brought the topic back to the topic and asked the same question again. Only then did Hua Shi finally say, "Because I have discovered it."
Fang Wei: "What did you find?"
Hua Shi said: "I found that if the world I live in is a game, it will definitely not be a painful upgrade flow."
Fang Wei found it a little funny, but continued to ask, "What is that?"
Hua Shi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's a team card collection flow."
Fang Wei: “…”
Hua Shi straightened his sitting posture and explained patiently: "You see, every time I go out to a new map, I can gather new teammates. At first, I got a master. Later, I went down the mountain to Frost Forest Valley. I thought there would be danger, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Not only did nothing go wrong, but I also brought back a powerful senior Jiang."
He spoke so logically that it actually made sense: "Not only did I bring back Senior Jiang, but Senior Yi Zhan came with me as well. This is like buy one get one free. Although Senior Yi Zhan seems to be at odds with my master, he is clearly on our side. During this time, he treated me like a disciple when he taught me to practice."
Fang Wei was silent. If Yi Zhan knew that he was called the "one" at the end of the buy one get one free deal here in Huashi, he probably wouldn't be happy.
Hua Shi added: "Oh, by the way, there was also the trip to Hanxi Sect. Although we didn't bring anyone back this time, it seems we didn't encounter any real danger."
Fang Wei thought to herself that the person had actually been brought back, but Hua Shi just didn't know about it.
However, after listening to Hua Shi's many twisted ideas, Fang Wei was almost influenced. If everything went well with luck, Hua Shi might really be able to "collect" another reliable senior.
This is definitely a more reliable senior than Yi Zhan and Xuan Shuzhi.
Hua Shi packed up Dongxu at night, and left the sect the next morning with the farewell of Xuan Shuzhi and others, heading towards Yuan Lake.
Because of his previous travel experiences, Hua Shi had already made full preparations before this trip. He contacted the best carriage and horses in advance, and also prepared a lot of things to relieve boredom in the carriage, so that the trip would not be too boring.
The result of this was that Hua Shi traveled in a luxurious carriage, accompanied by a dozen servants. Some were responsible for serving tea and water, some gave back massages, and some were responsible for exploring the way, giving directions, contacting inns, etc. In order to avoid sleeping in the wild and eating wild fruits, Hua Shi even specially found a chef.
As for the luggage, there was no need to move it. Hua Shi had the entire space of Yunxiu Pen, which was equipped with everything. Even if he was asked to move out of the house immediately, it would not be a big problem.
Because of this way of traveling, although Hua Shi set out early, when he arrived at Yuanhu Lake, it was already close to the time of the competition.
Yuan Lake was originally just a remote place. Few people came here in the past. There were only some ordinary villagers living nearby. There was not even a decent town around it. But because of the sword-testing competitions in recent decades, the area around Yuan Lake has become prosperous. The major sects have built many residences on the banks of Yuan Lake for their disciples to rest, and merchants have long smelled the scent of money and have built high-rise buildings here or sold all kinds of things.
What was originally an ordinary countryside has become a sizable town in just a few decades.
Xuanling Pavilion also has a residence on the shore of Yuan Lake. Like Xuanling Pavilion, the residences of Xuanling Pavilion disciples on the shore of Yuan Lake are also beautiful pavilions with mountains and water. The buildings of other sects are next to each other, and most of them have inherited the characteristics of their own sects, either solemn and simple, or full of fairy spirit.
People were coming and going along the shore of Yuan Lake, and there were noises everywhere. Although it was not as grand as the Spiritual Transformation Conference, and those elders with profound cultivation did not come, it was still very lively. Hua Shi was amazed and could not help but walk around the street, chattering with the system in his mind.
It was not until it was almost dark that Hua Shicai brought his men back to the residence of the Xuanling Pavilion disciples in Yuan Lake.
Because Zhou Li and Yu Xing had already been contacted through talismans in advance, the three of them had already agreed to meet at night, so when Hua Shi returned to his residence, he happened to see the two people who were looking for him.
