Chapter 196
Is this person too sensitive?
The corners of Cheng Hui's mouth kept twitching. He could understand this man's thoughts, but that didn't mean he had to accept them.
Is this person being too sensitive? Isn't it just renting their house? Is it necessary to be so wary of thieves?
The Tianlan Sword Sect disciple smiled awkwardly and scratched his head in embarrassment. "My mom said you guys look weird..."
Cheng Hui: ...
City Lord Hua must bear the biggest blame for this bizarre comment!
Although he was not happy that someone had sneaked into his yard, considering that the other party had not caused any damage and had even suffered a lot while being trapped in the magic circle, Cheng Hui generously decided not to bother with him.
After leading the unlucky guy out of the magic circle, Cheng Hui was about to send him away when he accidentally saw the shocked expression on his face.
"You are actually the tenant who rented the house??!!"
Cheng Hui was even more shocked than him: "You just found out about this???"
Unlucky guy: "??? Why would I know that?"
Cheng Hui was also confused: "...? You don't know why you attacked me in the first place?"
The unlucky guy: "I just wanted to confirm your identity through your skills. I stopped only after I saw that you were a fellow Taoist from the Corpse Puppet Sect... I was also wondering if we could team up to break out."
Cheng Hui: ...
Are all the disciples of the Tianlan Sword Sect so foolish? Do they use fighting to distinguish friend from foe?
"Wait... since you're a tenant, why did you let me out?" The unlucky guy suddenly became alert: "Are you trying to use me to infiltrate the Tianlan Sword Sect? I'm telling you, it's impossible! I will never give in!"
Cheng Hui looked at the unfortunate fellow speechlessly. Was this guy overwhelmed by his acting skills? He hadn't even spoken a word before his mind had concocted a million-word conspiracy.
"Pfft... Where did this idiot come from?" Lin Qingyang crossed his arms and looked at the unlucky guy with a sneer. Ah Hui was kind enough to rescue the man, but how could this guy be so ungrateful and even frame Ah Hui.
"Huh?" The unlucky fellow was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Qingyang, then his face turned stern: "The honey trap will not work on me. We sword cultivators will never give in."
"Unless food and lodging are provided?" Cheng Hui added rudely, feeling more and more that this man was an idiot.
However... this guy's intuition is quite sharp, and he can even notice Lin Qingyang's beauty.
Because Lin Qingyang's appearance is too attractive, in order to avoid some troubles, he is used to releasing spells to blur his presence. This is why he attracts onlookers wherever he goes.
But I didn't expect that although this sword cultivator was a little stupid, his intuition was quite sharp and he could see through his true appearance at a glance.
"What do you mean by free food and accommodation?" Tie Hanhan didn't know what Cheng Hui was thinking, but he noticed Cheng Hui's complaint.
"It's okay." Cheng Hui waved his hand: "You think too much, we are not here to cause trouble."
Tie Hanhan looked incredulous. "Aren't you here to cause trouble?" Then why are you guarding the courtyard so tightly? This is Mingyue City, the territory of the Tianlan Sword Sect. Most people would just set up a simple defensive formation, not you. Is that what you've set up called a formation? This is a fucking dragnet!
You said you had no bad intentions? Who would believe it?
Anyway, Tiehanhan doesn't believe it.
Cheng Hui also guessed his thoughts from his expression, and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He just casually set up an array plate, which was a by-product of his practice of magic arrays. Who knew that such a casually made thing could trap people for so long? Can we blame his high attainments in the art of arrays, and that all the array plates he casually took out are good things?
Cheng Hui didn't have the nerve to mock Tie Hanhan's low attainments in formations, but Lin Qingyang wasn't going to let him down. He sneered, "You useless guy can't break the formation, so you're blaming us for not knowing how advanced the formation is?"
After saying that, he glanced at Tie Hanhan and said, "We didn't expect that a casually arranged magic array could actually trap the disciples of the Tianlan Sword Sect. Haha... It seems that the security level in Mingyue City is not very good... Or maybe... the disciples of your Tianlan Sword Sect are special? Can they just break into the house when the tenants are not at home?"
When Lin Qingyang said this, Tie Hanhan's face immediately turned red.
To be honest, what he did was not very decent. He originally thought that he might come here to test the waters. If he found nothing, then it would be good for everyone. But he was trapped in someone else's magic circle and was caught red-handed. This was very embarrassing...
Once Tiehanhan was no longer so confident, his voice became much softer, and he stammered for a long time without being able to say anything.
Cheng Hui found it funny. They were in Mingyue City, and the Tianlan Sword Sect was recruiting disciples during the past few days. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he just said a few words and sent the person away.
After a while, the lady next door came over with a big pot of stewed food to apologize. The lady looked very apologetic and scolded her own son. Cheng Hui was amused and helpless. Finally, he said that he didn't take it to heart and sent the lady away who was a little uneasy.
"Ahui just has a very good temper." Lin Qingyang leaned against the door frame and said disapprovingly.
The magic arrays Cheng Hui usually used for practice rarely contained killing elements. Most of them were trapping arrays or illusion arrays. Otherwise, with his reckless personality, if he randomly rushed around in the array, they would be able to collect his body when they came back.
Cheng Hui smiled at him. He was not an enemy, so why bother killing him? Besides, they had to give the host some face in Mingyue City, so there would be no loss if they let him leave.
Cheng Hui regretted thinking this the next day.
It’s not that I regret letting him go, but I regret... why I forgot to tell him to keep his mouth shut.
He also didn't expect that this Tiehanhan was quite prestigious in the sect. When he went back and mentioned this matter to his best brother, it spread throughout the mountain in less than half a day.
When the eldest senior brother came to him with a stern face and asked if he had suffered a loss, he was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know how this matter, which was clearly in his fault, got to the eldest senior brother's ears and turned into someone bullying the disciples of their Tianlan Sword Sect in Mingyue City.
Even though he repeatedly explained to the senior brother that he was overreacting, the senior brother just looked thoughtful and left.
"So... you mean, your senior brother is likely to come back and cause trouble for me?" Cheng Hui looked at the idiot in front of him who came to report the news wearing a hood and covering his face.
Tie Hanhan nodded repeatedly: "My senior brother is the most serious one, and..."
"And what? Stop dragging your words out." Lin Qingyang said dissatisfiedly.
Tie Hanhan pouted in grievance, "Besides, he has studied the Dao of Formation very deeply. I suspect... he is not trying to stand up for me, but to compare formations with you."
Cheng Hui looked at him speechlessly. Tie Hanhan pulled his hood up embarrassedly, trying to cover his face.
How could he know that he just complained to his brothers, but it ended up reaching the ears of the eldest brother? He felt very wronged.
So, in order to prevent others from being caught off guard, he came over to give them a reminder, for fear that the eldest brother would launch a surprise attack.
After all, this was all his fault... He might be a little foolish, but he still has some responsibility.
"Okay, I got it." Cheng Hui waved his hand casually. He was not very worried about the possible trouble.
Forget about other aspects, but when it comes to formations, he is really not afraid of anyone.
Unless he uses his cultivation to crush the enemy, he will not be afraid even if a master of formation comes.
"Okay, I've told you. You'd better be careful. My senior brother has a bad temper. If he is rude to you in any way, I apologize in advance. Please go easy on him and don't hurt him." Tie Hanhan kept nagging.
Cheng Hui's expression suddenly changed, and then the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"So... in your eyes, I, your senior brother, am someone who causes trouble for others without any reason?" a man said in a deep voice.
"Yes..." Tie Hanhan felt something was wrong as soon as he said this. He turned around stiffly and saw a tall man standing not far behind him.
"Big, big, big, senior brother..."
"It's a pity that you still remember that I am your senior brother! This is how you framed me outside!" The tall man walked over and knocked Tie Hanhan on the head.
Tie Hanhan screamed, squatted on the ground with his hands covering his head, tears almost coming out.
Big Brother's hands are really dark... This hurts more than being punched on the head. QAQ
"I am Luo Yuntian, the eldest disciple of Jiuxiao Peak of Tianlan Sword Sect. Nice to meet you two fellow Taoists." The eldest senior brother of Tianlan Sword Sect bowed.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang quickly returned the greeting and introduced themselves.
"So you are a fellow Taoist from the Corpse Puppet Sect." Luo Yuntian had a very generous personality, and he brought the two parties closer with just a few words.
Cheng Hui quickly invited people into the room. When Luo Yuntian passed by City Lord Hua's room, his feet paused slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
In his perception, the room where City Lord Hua was was like a black hole, and he would feel the stinging pain even if his spiritual sense got just a little closer.
There is a high-level cultivator living here, Luo Yuntian thought to himself, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Come in quickly!" Luo Yuntian felt tired when he saw Tie Hanhan squatting at the door like a mushroom.
Although there are many stupid sword cultivators, it is rare to find someone as stupid as my junior brother.
"Hey!" Junior Brother Mushroom jumped up with a start, and followed Luo Yuntian timidly in small steps.
The corners of Luo Yuntian's mouth twitched, and he kept telling himself in his heart that this was his dear junior brother, he was his dear brother, and he couldn't be beaten to death... Even if he was beaten to death, there was no way to replace him.
He pretended not to see this unfortunate junior brother, and after entering the room, he sent him to the corner to drink tea.
Luo Yuntian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then sighed, "Good tea."
This cup of tea has its own spiritual charm. One sip is equivalent to three to five days of hard training. Of course it is a good tea.
Cheng Hui smiled. These food and drinks were all prepared by Lin Qingyang. He was just offering some gifts.
Luo Yuntian organized his words a little and told Cheng Hui why he was there.
It turned out that Luo Yuntian was one of the persons in charge of this enrollment meeting, and was in charge of the road to immortality.
This so-called road to immortality is a key stage for each sect to test the character of the candidates, and the most important part of it is naturally the various illusions.
There are many temptations in the illusion, and those candidates with bad character will easily be exposed at this level. But it happened that when he checked the road to immortality yesterday, he found that the road to immortality was slightly damaged.
The damage was not very serious, and he did not want to trouble the elders in the sect. Firstly, the elders were very busy, and secondly, if he asked for help for a little problem, he would seem useless.
But if he were to repair it himself, he was worried that he would not have enough time. He happened to hear his silly junior brother's complaints, and he got an idea.
His junior brother's character is a little naive, but his strength is indeed not bad. He was able to trap his junior brother for so long, which shows that Cheng Hui's attainments in formations are by no means simple.
The reason he came this time was, firstly, to exchange ideas with Cheng Hui, and secondly, to invite him to work with him to repair the illusion array on the road to immortality.
