Volume 1: A Long Night Returns 90, Resolving Provocations With Wit
This trading conference was very short, lasting only one day and one night. The Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce began to clear out the venue at noon, and the stall owners closed their stalls and left one after another. At night, only those who stayed at the venue had signed up to participate. The person who issued the reward order for the first time.
Xie Qingyun arrived at the scene and saw that, good guys, the number of people left was not more than 10%, at most about forty. And among these forty people, most of them were from the sixth level to the eleventh level of spiritual breath, and a few There was not a single person with the fourth level of spiritual breath, second level or above.
Wu Xuanbin saw his doubts and sighed: "The people recruited are said to be righteous people, but if it weren't for the Taoist academy's reward order, no one would respond at all. Human nature is selfish, let alone the opponent is the Shendu Sect. giant."
Wang Boshen nodded with approval and said: "Xuan Bin is right. Even among those who stayed, a large part of them were in urgent need of seal jade, or had reached a certain level in their cultivation. Perhaps only those who really had the purpose of suppressing bandits were Fairy Manshu is alone."
Xie Qingyun was silent.
At this moment, the venue was empty and deserted. He looked around, but there was no sign of Shen Manshu and others. He didn't know how long he would have to wait, but Si Nan already looked impatient.
Wang Bo pointed to a tent not far away: "Fairy Manshu should be discussing the battle plan inside."
Xie Qingyun looked over and saw that it was the location of yesterday's exchange meeting. He was a little confused and said: "Since we are not allowed to listen, why are we gathered together again?"
Of course he didn't care about waiting. The reason why he participated in this crusade was certainly not because Shen Manqing was almost bankrupt; he was very concerned about the trends of the Shendu Sect and was unprepared to confront him last time and almost died at the hands of the Snake Deacon. But this time it was a "team operation" with a low risk factor. He wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about this sect, which could also be considered as a contribution to "know yourself and the enemy".
Wu Xuanbin said: "I don't think we are allowed to listen because we are worried that the plan will be leaked. We are gathered together to prevent the news from leaking out."
"Fellow Taoist's explanation is really timely." Xie Qingyun said funnyly, "I know that in your mind, the fairy is perfect in all aspects; but to those who don't know, I think you are also a core member."
"I..." Wu Xuanbin blushed and immediately smiled bitterly.
Seeing him like this, Xie Qingyun couldn't help but secretly sigh: Once you give in to others and praise others too highly, it will be difficult for them to notice you. This is a simple truth, but why are there still so many people in the world? not understand?
At this time, two guards wearing Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce costumes came over and politely said: "Lord Qingyun, Fairy Manshu, please come over."
"Me?" Xie Qingyun was stunned. He glanced at Wu Xuanbin, who forced a smile and said, "Fellow Taoist, go quickly, don't let the fairy wait in a hurry."
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted in dissatisfaction: "Wait a minute, why can he enter the tenth level of spiritual energy and we have to wait outside?"
The guard said coldly: "If you can defeat a master above the fifteenth level of spiritual breath, the fairy will naturally invite you. Besides, being invited in means taking on more important responsibilities. Do you think you can afford it?"
The man immediately shut up.
Xie Qingyun came outside the tent. The guard seemed to recognize Sinan and did not stop her, letting her follow Xie Qingyun into the tent.
At the magic weapon exchange meeting yesterday, there were not many people, and today the tent was even more empty; but the pressure on Xie Qingyun had increased several times.
As soon as he walked in, he immediately noticed several sharp gazes coming towards him, turning non-stop on him. He followed the gaze and saw that besides Shen Manqing and Li Rang, there were three more unfamiliar faces.
One is a young man in a turban and sleeveless shirt who is leaning against the wooden pillar on the left side of the small platform in front of him. He holds his hands with a bohemian look and holds something like a reed stick in his mouth. On his arms there are Weird tattoo, I can't tell what pattern it is, but there are faint fluctuations of mana.
A man stood sideways in front of the desk on the small platform, carrying a rare guqin on his back, with extremely long nails on both hands, wearing a maroon robe, his hair hanging down naturally without being tied up, his eyes narrow and soft, looking sideways at Xie Qingyun .
There is another one standing next to Shen Manqing, dressed very neatly, with a jade crown in his hair, a ribbon on his forehead, and some unidentifiable decorations around his neck. The rest of the clothes are also complete, such as a belt, jade pendants, etc. If that's all, what's even more exaggerated is that there are fluctuations in spiritual power on these decorations, so they are obviously magic weapons.
Could it be that he is Bai Zhantian?
While he was secretly guessing, Shen Manqing smiled and nodded to him: "Fellow Taoist is here. Let me introduce to you, this is Bai Zhantian of Taiyi Sect."
Xie Qingyun secretly thought that indeed, this rich man was indeed the rich young man who presented the sword box as Wang Bo said.
Bai Zhantian looked at Xie Qingyun up and down, and said provocatively: "You are Xie Qingyun. I heard many people mention it when I came here. Hey, it's better to be famous than to meet in person."
"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said, "What do they say about me?"
"Say you..." Bai Zhantian was stunned. The first half of his sentence was of course just made up out of thin air. In fact, he just heard that Song Manting was defeated, and his opponent was just a child at the tenth level of spiritual energy, so naturally he couldn't describe it.
"Does it mean that I am handsome, great, bright and righteous?" Xie Qingyun shrugged, "It is true that this cannot be seen from the surface, but you will feel it after getting along for a long time."
"This kid..." Bai Zhantian's face suddenly filled with black lines, "He is even more narcissistic than the young master."
Seeing that Xie Qingyun easily defused Bai Zhantian's provocation, Shen Manqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pointed at the man carrying the piano and said: "This is Ding Yifan, the young master of Qiuping Villa."
The name is more satisfactory than I expected... Xie Qingyun secretly muttered and clasped his fists: "Please give me more advice."
"Yeah." Ding Yifan was very cold.
Shen Manqing pointed to the last young man who was dressed like a minority and styled like a wandering prodigal and said: "Zongjie, the young master of the Lin tribe in Jingjing Mountain."
Zong Jie raised his head towards Xie Qingyun: "Song Manting is pretty good. If you can defeat him, it means you are stronger. Let's compare with each other if you have time?"
Xie Qingyun could not see through the cultivation levels of these three new faces, which meant that they were all second-level masters or above.
No matter how strong Song Manting is, he is only at the top of the first level. Although Xie Qingyun defeated Song Manting, he did not receive recognition because of it.
Shen Manqing pointed at Xie Qingyun and said, "You already know Xie Qingyun. Next to him is his junior sister Si Nan."
"It turns out to be Miss Si Nan. She really has a good name." Bai Zhantian said immediately.
"Well, a good name." Ding Yifan actually said a few more words.
Zongjie seems to be only interested in sparring.
…
"Let me tell you secretly, these three people are all senior sister's suitors." Li Rang winked at Xie Qingyun quietly, "As soon as I heard that my senior sister was recruiting righteous men, I rushed over immediately. You must be so infatuated."
Xie Qingyun laughed dryly and thought to himself, this guy doesn't think I'm the same as them, right? At this time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a map hanging in front of the desk. When he saw the markings on the map, his heart moved:
"May I ask Fairy, what does the mark on this picture mean?"
Shen Manqing took a look and said: "Those are the prefectures and counties attacked by the Heavenly Thieves Alliance, which affected the Three Kingdoms region."
Xie Qingyun went up to take a closer look and found that the center of the label was actually Yunzhou of the Li Kingdom, and all the other labels spread around Yunzhou, forming a circle with no more and no less.
Is this a coincidence or not?
He recalled the details of the Yunzhou case, and a little haze emerged in his mind.
Discussions on the combat plan were in full swing, and even Sinan participated.
At the same time, in the venue, the man in black robe came to the tent, glanced at the guard guarding the entrance of the tent, and secretly considered the possibility of sneaking in quietly. His consciousness had sensed that there were four or five people with complete consciousness in the tent. Not weaker than him, I felt a little embarrassed: it was really difficult to capture Xie Qingyun in front of four or five masters.
But do we have to keep waiting?
He felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to catch Xie Qingyun now, break his hands and feet first, and vent his anger.
"Aren't you going to attack the Heavenly Thieves Alliance? I can pretend to be a messenger and wait for the opportunity to approach. As long as I control Xie Qingyun and reveal my identity, the deal will be done. If they want to intervene again, they will have to think carefully."
Thinking of this, he made up his mind and quickly approached the tent with his head lowered. Just when the two guards noticed him, he suddenly heard a message: "Don't come close, it's a trap!"
The man in black robe was shocked when he heard it, and immediately pretended to walk away. He lowered his head and blended into the crowd. As expected, the voice slowly came closer, and he froze when he noticed the familiar aura.
"Junior Brother Zhou, don't panic, I won't embarrass you."
"Is it Elder Tang?" The man in black robe was surprised and uncertain.
"It's me." The voice said.
"Isn't Elder Tang ordered to arrest me?" the man in black robe said.
"Although I was ordered to arrest you, you and I are from the same family. How could I not know your difficulties?" said the voice.
"Then why are you stopping me?" The man in black robe said anxiously, "As long as I catch Xie Qingyun, I can be punished and meritorious service!"
"Please be patient." The voice said, "There is someone who has been secretly watching you. I suspect he is just waiting for you to take action."
"Staring at me? Who is it?" The man in black robe was shocked.
"I don't know, but this person's cultivation level is extremely high. Neither I nor the law enforcement team dare to act rashly." The voice said.
"Then what should we do?" the man in black robe asked.
"Don't be impatient. The more impatient you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. This person has been targeting you. As soon as you make a move, he will realize that there is no chance of winning." The voice said.
The man in black robe asked anxiously: "Can I just sit back and wait for death?"
"Don't panic, I'll use the sect's secret method to help you escape surveillance first, and then we'll find an opportunity to take action."
…
Huang Qiming has been secretly watching the movements of the man in black robe. He actually has something in mind. After all, the man in black robe is a member of Yunlei Sect. Killing him for no reason will inevitably lead to a dispute, so he plans to kill Xie Qingyun before the man in black robe When he took action, he used thunderous means to subdue him and create the illusion that he died in the hands of the Qi Refiners from abroad.
