Bailixi was very excited. This time she led the team to Guiyi Men, which was considered as a way to balance public and private matters!
However, he got excited too early, it was three years later!
When Baili Xi was depressed, she complained a few words to Gu Xia from the Ghost Sword Sect. Unexpectedly, instead of receiving Gu Xia's comfort, it was him who conveyed Hong Jin's idea that the Ghost Sword Sect also wanted to participate in this disciple competition!
Gu Xia asked Bai Lixi to ask the leader Duoyue what he meant, but Hong Jin was afraid that he would be rejected if he spoke rashly.
Priscilla just went to run errands and report to Duo Yue.
Unexpectedly, Duoyue chuckled and said, "Let Master Hong directly ask Elder Nalan of the Guiyi Sect!"
Baili Xiyi didn't know why, and it didn't look like she was rejecting Duoyue, so she had no choice but to tell her exactly what she said.
Gu Xia told Hong Jin expressionlessly, but she was filled with emotions in her heart. It turns out that the serious Duo Yue could also make such a joke~
Hong Jin hesitated after hearing this. He really wanted to contact the goddess he had chased but not yet caught up with in the past, but now that there was a jealous wife at home, he really didn't dare to contact Nalan Lianyue again.
But Duo Yue made it clear that he didn't want to speak for him. He thought about it for a long time and tried to mention it to his wife several times, but he swallowed the words on his lips.
Seeing that this strange behavior had aroused Madam's suspicion, Hong Jin quickly found an excuse to sell his eldest apprentice: "Not that boy Gu Xia, isn't he already old? I want to ask Madam to give him some advice." He’s looking for a suitable wife, but he’s a little embarrassed to ask!”
Mrs. Hong smiled: "I understand this matter. Don't worry, husband, leave it to me."
Hong Jin looked relieved, thanked his wife with a haha, scratched his head and left.
Mrs. Hong waited for him to turn around, and her face immediately darkened. She ordered the people around her to call Gu Xia over.
Gu Xia came in a hurry. He had already expected that his master's wife was about to summon him, and he had been waiting for a long time.
"I've met Master." Gu Xia bowed and saluted.
"Gu Xia, please sit down." Mrs. Hong also admired this young man and really wanted to introduce him to a good match.
"Master, if you have any inquiries, please just stand and reply."
"It's up to you." This kind of situation happens from time to time, and Mrs. Hong doesn't care. "Tell me, what does your master want to do this time?"
"Reporting to Master, Gui Yi Sect and Tian Yi Sect have agreed to hold a competition for junior disciples in three years. Master wants our Ghost Sword Sect to also participate." Gu Xia told the truth.
"This is a good thing. Why is he so entangled and using your marriage as a cover?" Mrs. Hong asked in confusion.
"Well..." Gu Xia raised the corner of his mouth. Since the master has used his life-long event as a shield, he can't cover for the master. "Isn't this the case where the master Duo Yue asked the master to contact Nalan who returned to the sect by himself? Elder!"
Mrs. Hong's eyes flashed, Nalan Lianyue's name was like thunder in her ears!
"That's it~~" Mrs. Hong said in a longer tone and nodded slightly.
Gu Xia knew it was time to retreat.
Mrs. Hong had a meaningful smile on her face and thought for a moment before getting up and going to find Hong Jin.
In the Guiyi Sect, Mr. Bao went to Yan Qingzheng with a reply from the Tianyi Sect. The reason was that Baili Xiyi, as the leader of the Tianyi Sect to participate in the disciple competition, said that he would come over in advance to familiarize himself with the venue and planned to return in half a year. One door, stay until the end of the game.
If other people had asked for this or that, Mr. Bao would have made the decision himself. This was his job scope.
But Baili Xiyi's request had an impure purpose at first glance. When it came to Elder Jin Mang, it was difficult for him to make his own decision.
He and Baili Xiyi were considered friends, and they actually wanted to fulfill his wish. Unfortunately, Yan Qingzheng was very dissatisfied with Baili Xiyi. He hesitated for many years and did not dare to tell the world, making Yan Qingzheng think that he was too weak emotionally. Not worthy of Jin Mang.
When Yan Qing heard that Bai Lixi wanted to come two and a half years earlier, she looked disgusted. However, this was Jin Mang's feeling after all, so she had no choice but to ask Mr. Bao to find Jin Mang.
Jin Mang said: "I am not responsible for contacting the disciples of the Tianyi Sect regarding the competition agreement. I have no objection. However, seeing that Tianyi Sect is so dedicated, we can't be too confident about returning to the same sect. Let's do this. I will prepare for half a year and then lead Let the disciples go out to practice and come back when the competition begins. Their strength will definitely be even higher by then!"
Mr. Bao just nodded silently after hearing this.
He sent a message to Prissy, but did not mention Jin Mang's decision.
Although he knew that Jin Mang was actually expressing his position, from the perspective of a friend, he still hoped that Jin Mang would change his mind in half a year.
As soon as Mr. Bao left, he went back to find Yan Qingzheng.
"This time it's Mrs. Hong from the Ghost Sword Sect. She said that she wants the disciples of the Ghost Sword Sect to participate in the disciple competition in three years' time. She also said that she would give out a second-grade spiritual weapon as a reward for the winner."
"Mrs. Hong from Ghost Sword Clan?" Yan Qing smiled as she was thinking about it. Not to mention the friendship between Hong Jin and her mother back then, Gu Xia also impressed her deeply at the Muxian Conference.
"yes!"
"Since the Ascension Channel was opened, the Ghost Sword Sect has slowly withdrawn its hands from the mortal world. If you concentrate on training, your strength seems to be good in the past few years, but it is a pity to communicate."
Mr. Bao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's just hold a competition for junior disciples that all Taoists from all over the world can participate in!"
Yan Qingzheng's eyes lit up and he kept nodding: "This is a good idea and feasible! Let's go, summon the elders, and let's have a meeting to study it."
Ten days later, Baili Xiyi came, not even half a year later. Gu Xia also came. The two of them represented Tianyi Sect and Ghost Sword Sect respectively to participate in the meeting of the first Xuanmen Junior Disciple Competition Conference. As the organizer of the first meeting of the three sects.
A month later, most of the Taoist sects in the world had received invitations, except for the Wuyin Sect and the Four Umbrella Sects, which had festivals, but were not invited.
Detailed rules are attached to the invitation. Each sect can send a team of five people to participate in the team competition, or can send a single person to participate in the individual competition. In addition to the level of cultivation level competition, there are also single-level competitions for weapon refining, alchemy and talisman making. Competition among people, generous prizes.
However, it is also clearly written in the instructions that each Xuanmen still has to pay for accommodation and food during the competition, and the same applies to casual cultivators.
As soon as this post was posted, it immediately caused an uproar among all Taoist schools!
Not only because this is the first large-scale competition involving Xuanmen disciples in the world, but also because the prizes in this competition are staggeringly rich.
The three organizers have also discussed that if this competition is successful, an intermediate disciples competition will be held in a few years.
During this period of time, the three parties have been scrutinizing the details and determining the rules and procedures. Except for the first day, Baili Xiyi has never seen Jin Mang again.
When he finally got out of the days of meetings and wanted to see Jin Mang again, he was told that Jin Mang had just taken his disciples into Miao'er Mountain for training a few days ago.
Prissy was stunned, and suddenly he felt a little flustered.
This was the first time that Jin Mang was hiding from him so obviously!
He went to see Mr. Bao: "Do you think she is avoiding me on purpose?"
He wanted to get a negative answer, and wanted to hear Mr. Bao say that Jin Mang had already planned to take his disciples to practice, but Mr. Bao directly shattered his fantasy.
"Earlier, you said you would come in half a year. I told Elder Jin Mang, and she said at that time that she would take the disciples to practice in half a year. But you came more than five months earlier, and Elder Jin Mang made an impromptu decision and left early. I guess there’s no need to say more about what I mean.”
As soon as Bailixi was deeply affected, she went to see Mr. Bao for a drink at night.
Each person drank two jars of wine. Mr. Bao didn't want to accompany him to drink away his sorrows, so he persuaded him, "Junior Brother Baili, I don't know whether to say something or not."
"Brother Huo is out of town. Please tell me if you have anything to say."
"You and I have known each other for twenty years. We first met because of Elder Jin Mang. Since then, your emotional entanglement with her has been noticed by everyone. But now you still can't take the first step. , we all really see it in our eyes and are anxious in our hearts.”
Mr. Bao said earnestly and Baili Xi lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Ashamed!"
"To this day, Brother Yu advises you: let go as soon as possible! You are not suitable!"
Bailixi was suddenly startled. He looked at Mr. Bao in disbelief! As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. Mr. Bao and he are considered to be close friends. How could he say such a thing!
"Brother Huo, I thought people in Guiyi Sect wouldn't look at her differently because of her monster origin!" Baili Xiyi said unhappily.
Mr. Bao snorted coldly: "I only said that you are not suitable, and I did not mention Elder Jinmang's monster origin! You care about this both in and out of your words. The one who really looks at you differently is you!"
Mr. Bao was also angry. Being friends with Baili Xiyi could not offset Jin Mang's importance as an elder of the Guiyi Sect. In the eyes of Mr. Bao, the elders of the Guiyi Sect were all family members!
"Then tell me, why are we not suitable?"
Prissy was drunk and asked, slapping the table.
"Elder Jin Mang is a hero among the women. She is free and easy, has a cheerful personality, and is aboveboard in her work! What about you?"
"Why am I so rude?" Bailixi asked, scratching her neck.
"Do you like Elder Jinmang?"
"Yes, I like her! What's wrong? What's wrong with her?"
"Do you like her? Do you dare to say this in front of the world's Xuanmen? Do you dare to admit that you like her? Do you dare to propose marriage openly?"
"I..." Bailixi choked on her words, her lips moved, and her mind was in turmoil.
"Don't you dare!" Mr. Bao stood up and looked down at Baili Xiyi, "So, the inappropriateness between you two is that you are not worthy of Elder Jinmang!"
Priscilla was speechless.
Mr. Bao walked out of the guest room and sighed deeply. If it wasn't about Jin Mang, he wouldn't bother to use such fierce words to stimulate Baili Xiyi.
The reason why he had let things go before was because Jin Mang had never made his position clear. Now that Jin Mang has made his position clear with practical actions, he must make a decision.
Baili Xiyi fell into confusion. The discussion of the competition meeting was over, and Jin Mang was not there, so he had no reason to stay, so he had to say goodbye to Mr. Bao and the others, and returned to Tianyimen.
Yan Qing was sending a flying sword message to Jin Mang to let her come back, but Jin Mang said that she had gained a lot from her trip and had no plans to go back for the time being.
From beginning to end, Bailixi was not mentioned even a word!
