Chapter 131 Blue Bird
The cheers made Lin Heting want to look outside. Ning Mingmei was in front of him and said lightly, "Fang Wuyu is here."
Lin Heting: "Ah..."
Ning Mingmei: "Ah, what? Adjust your shoulder pads."
Yang Zhiyu is Fang Wuyu's favorite disciple. Ning Mingmei was not surprised that Fang Wuyu chose Yang Zhiyu in the competition between Duan Ying and Yang Zhiyu. The platinum sedan drove into the competition arena, and the person who stepped out was Fang Wuyu without a doubt.
This was the first time that Ning Mingmei had seen Fang Wuyu at Mingwu Peak in recent times.
Ning Mingmei had no intention of greeting Fang Wuyu. But it was strange - through so many people and half-opened tents, Fang Wuyu actually saw him in the crowd at a glance, and his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes looked straight at him.
However, Fang Wu Yu did not give Ning Ming Mei any chance to get embarrassed - he turned his gaze away again.
…Then I saw a group of disciples holding developing stones or bamboo slips.
"Look! It's Master Fang. Master Fang is here to watch the competition!"
"This is the first time for the Qingyan Competition. I'm going to take the photos and post the Feisi Book. This hot post must be mine!"
Fang Wu Yu: ...Damn it, why can’t I escape Ning Mingmei’s Book of Fei Si No matter where I go.
Fang Wuyu's face suddenly became as foul as the smell of sleepy black tea. Ning Mingmei took this opportunity to sit down nearby.
Before sitting down, he patted Lin Heting's shoulders, which looked even more majestic because of the shoulder pads. Ning Mingmei said: "He Ting, you know it."
Lin Heting immediately recited a long paragraph: "Disciple must take the dream as the horse, never forget the original intention, pursue the dream and live up to the youth..."
After saying this, Lin Heting felt that his Dantian was becoming stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he was not far from breaking through to the middle and late stages of the Golden Core.
Fang Wuyu next door was also walking towards Yang Zhiyu. Ning Mingmei sat down first.
But soon, an uninvited guest came to him.
"Master Ning Feng, long time no see." The man looked smiling.
Xu Changze.
Behind Xu Changze stood a disciple from Minghua Valley.
"Elder Xu, what a coincidence." Ning Mingmei nodded slightly to him.
As one of the leading teachers of Minghua Valley, Xu Changze has been patrolling various venues during this period of time. Therefore, it is not surprising that he would appear at this competition.
However, considering what Gui Ruoxue mentioned yesterday and the way Xu Changze looked at him, this coincidence became intriguing.
Xu Changze said: "If I remember correctly, Elder Ning has two disciples competing today, right? Although the Lin family is better than the Wen family. But Elder Ning only came to watch Junior-nephew Lin's competition, not Junior-nephew Wen's competition. Isn't he afraid of making Junior-nephew Wen worry? Hahaha."
Ning Mingmei replied: "Si Heng is the eldest senior brother, I have great confidence in him. I have already talked to him before leaving today. There are nineteen disciples in Qingji Sect, and now nine of them are with him. Si Heng must be very relieved to have these junior brothers and sisters accompanying him."
Xu Changze stroked his beard and said, "Very good, very good. I believe that Junior Brother Wen will also understand the good intentions of the Peak Master."
Ning Mingmei just waited for the competition to begin and there was no need to engage in witty exchanges with the middle-aged man. The trade route to Minghua Valley must be opened, but if you want to go there, you have to go through the path of Gui Taoran's mother, Tao Xinzhi. When doing business, the most important thing is reputation. It was obvious at first glance that this old man named Xu Changze had bad intentions.
But Fang Wuyu’s reaction on the other side made him feel strange. Fang Wuyu was obviously not just greeting Yang Zhiyu. Yang Zhiyu seemed to have done something behind Fang Wuyu's back and was reporting to him. Fang Wu Yu's face darkened when he heard this, and he was obviously very displeased with his father's self-assertion.
His eyelids twitched slightly again. At the same time, the preparatory bell also rang.
"Forget it, you go up." Fang Wu Yu said with annoyance.
Yang Zhiyu nodded confidently. He said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely be able to defeat the other party."
Fang Wuyu was not happy about this, and even looked a little stern: "You should have defeated the other party. We, the people from Baiyun Peak, have to use those little tricks to attack Piaomiao Peak. It's really not up to standard, pathetic, and ridiculous!"
Facing Fang Wuyu, Yang Zhiyu did not dare to express his true feelings. When he turned his head and looked towards Lin Heting, a gloomy look appeared on his face.
And he held the sword tightly in his hand.
He had not expected that his master would be so ungrateful.
But Lin Heting was supposed to be defeated by him.
Then……
The nine people from Piaomiao Peak formed a pyramid formation at one end of the competition stage. When Lin Heting walked out, the noisy voices almost overturned the entire competition stage.
"Lin Heting!"
"Tingting! Mommy loves you!"
Yan Dan is worthy of being Yan Dan. Lin Heting wore a luxurious Taoist robe today, but the dark circles under his eyes still retained a bit of the original flavor of Piaomiao Peak. The young man was as handsome as a jade tree, with a head of long black hair like a waterfall. When he turned around and faced the crowd, he looked like an immortal walking under the moon.
But Lin Heting was not looking at the crowd, but Ning Mingmei... and then he saw someone he didn't expect.
The Liuxi Bridge next to Qingxue Peak.
It is also the Liuxi Bridge that Ning Mingmei used as an example to ask, "The Liuxi Bridge next door is working in the same direction as you, so why is it more competitive and innovative than you? What is the irreplaceability and significance of your work?"
The two are equally good looking. Lin Heting has a feminine look, while Liu Xiqiao has a heroic look. Rivals should blush when they meet. But Liu Xiqiao was actually waving together with several of his fellow sisters.
Liuxi Bridge: "Lin Heting! Lin Heting!"
...Lin Heting trembled all over.
Damn, there is no more terrifying scene in the world than this.
With mixed feelings, Lin Heting thought about his imaginary enemy, came to the stage, and made a poignant movement like falling osmanthus flowers.
The audience screamed again.
"Lin Heting, you are really popular." The man opposite said, "To be honest, we entered the inner sect in the same year."
Lin Heting raised his hand: "Brother Yang. Long time no see."
The man opposite him looked straight at him, smiling as if he was not going to let him go: "Yes! The last time I saw you was in the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm. In just one year, you have already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core."
Lin Heting said: "The Secret Realm of Hundred Flowers..."
"Don't you remember? I took my sister who was in the foundation-building stage with me. Originally, I didn't plan to go there. But it was Zhishu's first time to travel, so I fulfilled my responsibility as an older brother and went with her. The Hundred Flowers Secret Realm is really boring and wastes a lot of our time. Unfortunately, my father said that we should go to the secret realm step by step. Some people can only get an admission ticket here after reaching the Golden Core stage." Yang Zhiyu said lightly, "By the way, your last name is Lin, are you from the Lin family?"
When Yang Zhiyu said the first half of his words, Lin Heting was already unhappy. When saying the second half of the sentence, Lin Heting raised his chin slightly and said, "It is the Gusu Lin family."
"Gusu Lin family? I haven't heard of them much. Oh... I remember now." Yang Zhiyu seemed to have suddenly realized something. "Some time ago, a candidate from Gusu Lin family came to my father's house. He was recommended and wanted to seek a job as an official or a businessman... Isn't your Lin family a family of immortals? How come the members of the family are also trying to find a way out in the human world? My father said that it's because the Lin family hasn't produced any great people for a long time. If this immortal family slides down to the human world and starts over as an official... can you still climb back to the immortal world?"
Lin Heting's face finally became so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. He finally understood that this person was deliberately trying to make him unhappy.
He is telling the truth. The Lin family did have two plans. Their silk business in Suzhou was indeed important, and they were also looking for ways out.
And he also asked the Yang family for help.
So at this moment, Yang Zhiyu looked at him with a mysterious smile on his lips: "Lin Heting, your family and I are looking forward to your performance. Don't let your family down."
The threat in these words is clear.
The Lin family needs a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage to restore their glory, but it is very easy to degenerate in the other direction and become "stronger" at this moment.
If they lose to him, the Lin family will get the trade route. If they beat him, the Lin family would have no way out. For the first time, the burden of a middle-class family fell heavily on this young man. As an old saying goes, "Connections are also a kind of effort."
The family expects Lin Heting to become a successful person because he is the only talented person in the Lin family in hundreds of years. Is temporarily bowing one's head in exchange for a "connection" a way to succeed? Is it an accumulation that is as important as spiritual practice and is a must-have in the Qingji Sect?
Lin Heting looked up at the blue sky above his head.
The sky is boundless. When a bird flies towards the sky, have you ever thought about how to retreat?
On the other side, several disciples from Qingxue Peak started a discussion.
"I heard that Yang Zhiyu likes to play dirty tricks." A junior sister said indignantly, "What did he say to Lin Heting? Lin Heting's face changed."
Amid the discussions, only Liu Xiqiao was looking intently in the direction of Lin Heting.
The bell rang again. Lin Heting placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, took a step back with his left leg, and slowly, slowly drew out the sword.
Yang Zhiyu also drew his sword and looked at him.
"You're right." Lin Heting lowered his eyes and said, "I won't let my family down."
Yang Zhiyu smiled: "That's natural."
"But I have one more question for you." Lin Heting said, "You talk so much because you are not confident that you can beat me 100%, right? Or..."
"Who did you give the red lotus banner that was supposed to be on you?"
The smile on Yang Zhiyu's face froze. Only then did he see Lin Heting's eyes.
It's dark, but there are flickering lights.
Like cheap, yet stubborn glass that's secretly prickly.
"You found out." Yang Zhiyu said, "Duan Ying needs the Red Lotus Banner more than I do. She has always had a bad temper, and Master doesn't like her very much, so I gave her a chance to turn things around. I guess she is using that powerful magic weapon on your brother right now, right? If that kind of fire touches your body, it will keep burning until everything that can be burned is burned away."
In response, Lin Heting only replied with two words: "Despicable."
"It seems that you are not planning to leave a way out for the Lin family?" Yang Zhiyu said.
Lin Heting looked up at him.
"The Lin family doesn't need a retreat where they have to keep giving in. They only have one way forward—and that's me." Lin Heting said, "Instead of relying on others and constantly retreating, it's better to move forward."
Move forward, and keep moving forward.
As long as Ning Mingmei is there, and as long as he is willing to learn under Ning Mingmei... he believes that he will definitely be able to become a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.
The long sword was pulled out of the scabbard, and the sword body reflected the sunlight, shining brightly, as if thousands of flowers were blooming.
Yang Zhiyu also drew his sword. He began to get nervous, but pretended to be calm and said, "Lin Heting, once you strike out with your sword, you can't turn back."
Lin Heting raised his sword, slashed at him, and shouted loudly under the blue sky.
"Then never come back!"
"It looks like there was a small accident on the competition stage." Xu Changze sat next to Ning Mingmei and said indifferently, "But looking at the current situation... Master Ning Feng's disciples have already solved the accident."
Ning Mingmei didn't answer him.
The two people on the competition stage spoke in very low voices, and no one could hear what they said. But Ning Mingmei looked at Yang Zhiyu, looked at Lin Heting, and then looked at Fang Wuyu who had a bad face...
He has already figured out the answer.
Ning Mingmei was about to stand up, but Xu Changze spoke again: "Master Ning Feng, I heard an interesting piece of news recently. Do you want to listen to it?"
Without waiting for Ning Mingmei to speak, he said, "I heard that a strange thing happened in a small town called Wangyue Town. Someone went to investigate and found that the traitor of Minghua Valley, Gui Ruoxue, had appeared there before, and then there was no news of him. In addition to him, there was another group of people who appeared there."
"The pedestrians looked very much like him, judging by their attire..."
