Arriving here without any surprises along the way also made Lin Haoming feel relieved. With his current situation, what he feared the most was to get involved in something that he had no ability to resist at all.
After arriving here, Zhou Xi also took Lin Haoming to Taimiaotang in Tianxian Mansion according to his plan.
Compared with Taimiao Hall in Tianman Prefecture, Kun County, Taimiao Hall in Tianxian Prefecture, Dui County is larger. The entire Taimiao Hall is located in several high mountain canyons. Although most of the mountains here are bare, the valley is lush and green, with pleasant scenery.
Shang Si and others followed Zhou Xi to Taimiaotang as Zhou Xi’s friend.
After Zhou Xi was in charge of Daoming's clone, the monk Taimiaotang who was responsible for receiving the reception soon let the group rest in a small building near the entrance. Half an hour later, a man in his thirties, who looked like he was in his thirties couldn't wait to come out.
When the man saw Zhou Xi, he was happy at first, but when he saw Shang Si and others around him, he immediately showed confusion.
Zhou Xi seemed to be very familiar with the man. When he saw the confusion in his eyes, he immediately explained: "This is Mr. Shang and my friend. This time he was just here to see Tai Miaotang."
The man immediately smiled when he heard Zhou Xi's explanation, especially when he noticed that Shang Si seemed to be very close to another woman beside him, and seemed to feel more at ease.
"Since he is the friend of junior sister, he is naturally my Qingqi's friend. Please!" The man who claimed to be Qingqi said generously, but his attention fell from Shang Si to the man with hair on the Taixu Realm beside Shang Si. Obviously, he could see that the man with hair on the hair was not simple.
"Shang has heard of the name of the Lord Qing Hall, and this time I disturbed it!" Shang Si also took the initiative to greet him, but did not introduce others.
"Young Master Shang is polite!" Qing Qi didn't ask directly when he saw that the other party didn't say anything, and his eyes then fell on Lin Haoming and stayed for a long time.
Lin Haoming was stared at by this senior brother Zhou Xi and immediately felt a very uncomfortable feeling, as if Qing Qi's eyes were about to see through him.
"Junior sister, is this your disciple?" Qingqi finally started asking.
"No, it's just a disciple of Taimiaotang I serve!" Zhou Xi said.
"Oh! So that's the case. He seems to be just in the fetal refining realm, right?" Qing Qi asked in confusion.
"Yes, senior brother, we made a bet back then, but we didn't say that we must reach the Shinto realm before we can compete."
"Are you sure that you are a Taoist fetal realm and want to compete with my disciple?" Qing Qi asked in disbelief.
"Senior brother, when did you joke with you about this kind of thing?" Zhou Xi asked back seriously.
"This... if the junior sister really insists like this, then the senior brother will not object. It will be decided at this time!" Qing Qi finally glanced at Lin Haoming, as if he was thinking.
Although Lin Haoming knew a few things roughly, he was still a little confused about what the bet between Zhou Xi and Qing Qi was, but at least he knew that he seemed to have to win, and after winning, it should be beneficial to him.
The group was soon arranged to live in a mountain stream and water pavilion. Here, birds sing and flowers scented, and clear springs flowed, which was quite elegant.
The water pavilion is quite small, and everyone has their own room, even Shang Si and others.
This place is pretty, but Lin Haoming couldn't calm down. When it was almost dark, Zhou Xi also pushed the door directly into Lin Haoming and told Lin Haoming to go to the banquet with her.
There were only two people at this time, and Lin Haoming couldn't help asking: "Master Zhou, your senior brother is obviously not simple, and his disciples must be good. You really like me so much. As for me, Ye Lin should be above me, so why don't you take action with him?"
"Ye Lin is indeed better than you now, but you may not lose to him for the same thing, and your cultivation is lower and more suitable. Don't worry, as long as nothing unexpected happens, I believe you will win, and after winning, you will be free and benefit!" Zhou Xi explained.
Seeing that Zhou Xi was so sure of herself, Lin Haoming couldn't say anything else.
The so-called banquet is actually not as luxurious as imagined, it is just a drink in a pavilion. In addition to Qingqi, Tianxian Mansion Taimiao Hall is accompanied by another man and a woman.
The woman's name is Hua Xuan, and she is Qing Qi's wife. The man looked in his early twenties. Although his cultivation was not as good as the Taoist womb, he still looked calm and composed in the face of so many masters, which was obviously quite good.
"This is the little disciple Liang Yue!" Qing Qi specially introduced the man's name.
Zhou Xi followed and specifically introduced Lin Haoming. Lin Haoming also knew that Liang Yue was his opponent, but I don’t know what to compare, how to compare, and what benefits he would get in the future.
As a monk who ascended from the lower realm, he was really helpless to compete with others in such a confused manner. If he hadn't known that Zhou Xi would not harm him, Lin Haoming would probably not have appeared here.
It is actually more like chatting about a family banquet. Lin Haoming originally thought that Zhou Xi and Qing Qi might have a male-female relationship. After all, the senior brother and junior sister are childhood sweethearts. However, judging from the attitude of Mrs. Hua Xuan, Qing Qi, there seems to be no such relationship, which makes the bet between the two more curious.
Compared to the brother and sister, although Shang Si and the other two were present, they really paid attention to their duties and didn't even speak very much, and really regarded themselves as spectators.
Because of his low status, he was not qualified to say anything at the banquet. It was not until the end that he was urging his elders on both sides that he toasted each other with a glass of wine.
Although it was a toast, it was actually nothing. The only thing Lin Haoming could feel was the hostility in Liang Yue's eyes, which made Lin Haoming vaguely feel that this competition might not be that simple.
The competition is scheduled for three days later.
Lin Haoming thought that after returning from the banquet, Zhou Xi would have a good talk with him at most the next day, at least he would encourage him to win the competition, but in fact, Zhou Xi never came to find him at all, and even went out with Shang Si and others without asking about him.
Lin Haoming felt that this was too strange. It was not necessarily that Zhou Xi’s confidence in him had become so strong that he didn’t need to worry at all, right?
This unknown but at mercy made Lin Haoming feel a little uncomfortable, which made Lin Haoming feel even more that he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible. After all, strength is the bottom line anywhere.
In this way, time suddenly came on the day of the competition.
Until this day, when it was almost dawn, Zhou Xi suddenly appeared in Lin Haoming's room.
