No taboos in the world

Chapter 444 Formal Meeting
Yunhai Square is very popular.

With Taoist Master Daoxuan's shout of "Let the competition begin", the atmosphere reached its climax.

The clanging sound of bells and tripods resounded through the sky, making people's blood boil like war drums.

Hong Chen looked at the disciple whom he had taken the initiative to accept for the first time, but he saw that the disciple was actually staring at the girl who had broken his heart all night. His eyes were fixed and his face was dazed, which was really unbearable to look at.

He couldn't help but sigh and turned to look in the direction of Xiaozhu Peak.

Her white clothes were as white as snow, her black hair was as long as a waterfall, her skin was as white as ice, her face was beautiful, her eyes were lonely and cold, and behind her was a long sword with a bright blue light surging, making her look even more like a noble and pure white fairy lotus, untainted by dust and dirt, and unaffected by the worldly affairs.

Isn't this more fragrant than Tian Ling'er who has not yet fully grown and has a bit of a spiciness?

It seems that this little apprentice really needs some help.

While he was thinking, the first batch of disciples to compete on the eight stages had already come on stage.

In Qingyun Sect, there is a saying that there are four unique skills, most of which are sword skills. This shows that most of the people in Qingyun Sect are sword cultivators, and the magic weapon is mainly sword.

However, unlike the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, which emphasizes swordsmanship, many Qingyun Sect disciples, in addition to using swords, have chosen other types of magic weapons as their main weapons.

Like on Dazhu Peak, there are Zhang Xiaofan's fire stick, Du Bishu's magic wood dice, Tian Ling'er's amber red silk and so on.

Therefore, after stepping onto the ring, what can be seen is not just a simple swordsmanship competition, but also various magic weapons fighting each other, and all kinds of fantastic magic weapons being used. Even if they seem to be of average power to Hong Chen, there is still some subtlety in them.

It can indeed be called "wonderful"!
Huaying used a set of Sun and Moon Five Star Wheels, and was best able to draw nourishment from similar battles, which made her stare intently and often applaud. The sound of her cheering seemed to be more passionate than that of the disciples from various peaks of Qingyun Sect.

At Dazhu Peak, after Tian Ling'er defeated her opponent, she walked in front of Qi Hao, which made Zhang Xiaofan's face turn slightly pale again.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was soon attracted to another person.

It was Lu Xueqi, the disciple of Xiaozhu Peak who was carrying the blue magic sword "Tianya".

Xiaozhu Peak only recruits female disciples and has always been home to many beautiful women. Lu Xueqi is even hailed as the most stunning beauty in the past five hundred years.

Clouds gathered under Lu Xueqi's feet, lifting her up slowly until she floated onto the stage. The clouds flowed like silk, and her white clothes fluttered, making her look like a fairy.

In an instant, the audience burst into thunderous applause and roaring, the noise was as loud as those on the star-chasing stages of later generations.

Zhang Xiaofan's mind was distracted, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the cheers around him. Looking at the fairy on the stage, he couldn't help but be moved and unable to control himself.

Young people are always attracted by beautiful things.

Lu Xueqi's beauty is far superior to Tian Ling'er.

Even if the attraction at this moment could not make him forget Tian Ling'er instantly, at least he would no longer be immersed in the pain of being forced to end his secret love.

"Hong Chen, she is so beautiful." Huaying pulled Hong Chen's sleeve and pointed at Lu Xueqi from afar. There was no jealousy in her eyes, only full of admiration and yearning, and she even couldn't wait to share her with Hong Chen.

Hong Chen nodded and said, "She is not only beautiful, but also very powerful."

"Really? How powerful is she?"

"Well, probably about the same as Xu Changqing before he took over as the head?"

"Wow! That's really amazing!" Huaying exclaimed, "I think the magic sword behind her seems to be very special too."

"Yes. You can see that, which proves that my recent training has not been in vain."

Huaying giggled, and then looked at Lu Xueqi intently.

As expected, Lu Xueqi quickly defeated her opponent with a huge movement and even cut off the opponent's magic sword.

Huaying cheered loudly.

Hong Chen looked at Zhang Xiaofan again.

Lu Xueqi's Tianya Sword was made from the Nine Heavens Special Iron that Master Kuxin obtained from the Arctic ice field. During the great battle between good and evil, Qingyun Sect's Qingye Zhenren was the most famous, and Master Kuxin was only slightly second.

Master Kuxin once used the Tianya Divine Sword to fight with the Black-hearted Old Man who had refined the magic treasure Blood-sucking Pearl for three days and three nights, and finally severely injured the Black-hearted Old Man.

Actual battle examples show that the Tianya Sword can restrain the Blood-sucking Pearl.

The restraining relationship between these two magic weapons means that Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan will definitely have a causal connection in the future.

It’s a pity that Zhang Xiaofan now only thinks that Lu Xueqi is pretty and powerful, and the rest of his thoughts are still on Tian Ling'er.

Hong Chen smacked his lips and stretched out his hand.

The palm passed through the space, and a light red line connecting Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan appeared in front of his eyes.

The index finger gently plucks the string, just like a child playing the strings.

Silently, two hearts beat at the same time, and the slight tremor that touched the soul made it difficult for the parties involved to calm down.

Lu Xueqi, with a cold expression, suddenly turned her head and looked at the audience.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was filled with sadness, looked at the stage unconsciously.

The moment their eyes met, a ripple appeared in their eyes.

"Xiaofan, did you see that? She is looking at me!!" Zeng Shushu, who was getting close to Zhang Xiaofan and trying to exchange a pornographic picture for a gray monkey, was so excited that he almost drooled.

Zhang Xiaofan came back to his senses, his heart was shaken immediately, and he quickly lowered his head.

The throbbing just now suddenly subsided. Lu Xueqi looked at the inconspicuous Zhang Xiaofan, frowned slightly, and withdrew her gaze.

Hong Chen watched with a smile and thought: I'll play it for you a few more times in the future, I don't believe you will still want to be Feiyangyang.

Although Zhang Xiaofan would not be a bootlicker, if he could give up on Tian Ling'er as soon as possible, he would save himself from suffering.

This is what a master should do.

The first day of competition ended quickly.

Dazhu Peak had four wins and three losses, and with Zhang Xiaofan who was lucky enough to get a bye, five of the eight disciples advanced. The short and fat Tian Buyi was grinning from ear to ear.

the next day.

Zhang Xiaofan finally found his opponent.

"Hongchen, he looks very nervous." Huaying said.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Since he started practicing, he has almost never had a serious fight. Now he has to compete in front of so many disciples and fellow disciples. It would be strange if he is not nervous."

After taking the stage.

The other party took out a magic sword, and Zhang Xiaofan took out a fire stick from his arms.

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into laughter.

Hong Chen's smile faded.

Huaying also wrinkled her nose and scolded: "These people are bad, why are they laughing at him?"

Hong Chen's eyes swept across those smiles that were indifferent to others, or the big mouths with their heads tilted back and their molars showing, and finally fell on Zhang Xiaofan's red cheek.

Being laughed at and looked down upon may be a more cruel punishment than death for a young person.

What's more, his long-cherished senior sister Ling'er was also among them, just like the others.

Perhaps, from this moment on, the flower named "Ghost Li" in the future has quietly taken root and sprouted.

At this time, he was lonelier than anyone else.

But when he looked up, he was braver than anyone else.

The opponent's magic sword radiated the sun's light and rolled towards him with dignity.

Zhang Xiaofan held the fire stick in his hand, and the cool breath permeated his soul.

After bursts of strong light appeared and bloomed one after another.

Zhang Xiaofan stood quietly on the stage, his eyes as cold as Lu Xueqi's yesterday.

His opponent, bleeding from all seven orifices, staggered back a few steps before falling headfirst. The audience instantly fell into dead silence.

At this moment, all the mocking and sarcastic voices and expressions disappeared, replaced by shock, horror and disbelief that made people laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

however.

If Hong Chen was the person standing on the stage at this moment, then such a change would be meaningless to him and not worth mentioning.

Zhang Xiaofan naturally thought so too.

However, Zhang Xiaofan's psychology was mostly influenced by the fire stick in his hand. After all, he was still a sixteen-year-old boy, not Hong Chen, a centuries-old old man.

Hong Chen: ???
At the end of the second day of competition, only Song Daren, Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan were left from Dazhu Peak, and three of the eight disciples were still alive, which was also a good result.

But Tian Buyi was not very happy.

Because Zhang Xiaofan's advancement was due to luck, so he couldn't go too far, while other disciples he was more optimistic about lost the game.

He felt a little relieved that Song Daren was his eldest disciple, but after careful analysis, he realized that he did not have the ability to make it to the end.

As for my daughter...

Tian Ling'er's opponent tomorrow is Lu Xueqi. Although Tian Buyi doesn't know Lu Xueqi very well, but seeing that she easily defeated her opponents in the past two days of fighting, it is estimated that tomorrow will be Tian Ling'er's last battle.

Zhang Xiaofan? No need to mention it.

Thinking about it this way, Dazhu Peak can be said to have started high and ended low, and Tian Buyi was naturally in a bad mood.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaofan had another chance encounter with his secret crush.

This time, Tian Ling'er and Qi Hao simply didn't avoid people.

Looking at the affectionate look and shy expression of her senior sister towards Qi Hao, Zhang Xiaofan almost lost his life.

He walked in a daze under the cold moonlight, and his aimless steps brought him back to the riverside that night.

He squatted by the river, staring blankly at the vague swaying shadow in the water, a feeling of loneliness quietly spreading from his heart.

not far away.

Hong Chen and Huaying roasted a fawn tonight. As expected, Huaying got drunk again and fell into a sweet dream.

Looking at Zhang Xiaofan whom he met for the second time, Hong Chen suddenly felt a sense of fate.

Then, he waved his hand to expand the range of the illusion, covering Zhang Xiaofan as well.

After a while, the aroma of venison and the rich aroma of wine filled Zhang Xiaofan's surroundings and pulled his mind back from his misery.

squeak~
One step faster than him was the gray monkey lying on his shoulder.

The three-eyed monkey looked at Hong Chen, seemingly unaware of the danger, and then quickly rushed to the campfire using its hands and feet. Then it stood up, clasped its hands together and bowed to Hong Chen.

The gray monkey is still young and its third eye has not yet opened. The white hair on its forehead that symbolizes the third eye is also very difficult to spot because it has not taken a bath for many years.

But its polite and human-like posture makes it seem particularly well-behaved and lovable.

Hong Chen was amused and started laughing, so he nodded and motioned for him to take it himself.

The gray monkey let out a cry, grinned as if laughing, and then swiftly tore off the last leg of the deer.

"Dead monkey!"

Zhang Xiaofan yelled in panic and ran over. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at Hong Chen with vigilance, while looking around with his peripheral vision.

Although it was true that he was distracted just now, he clearly remembered that he did not see any fire or human figures when he came.

He had no way of telling whether this suddenly appearing person was good or bad, so he could only act with caution.

However, the gray monkey ignored his call and even grabbed the deer leg and started to eat it seriously. Zhang Xiaofan saw this and felt anxious.

At this time.

The other party suddenly looked at him. Zhang Xiaofan was startled and quickly reached into his arms to grab the fire stick.

But when he really met the other person's eyes, the vigilance and fear in his heart were suddenly wiped away, as if a warm, natural breeze was blowing in his face, passing through his body and soul, making him feel safe and peaceful.

"Eat something?" the other party asked.

Zhang Xiaofan pursed his lips, and his body seemed to move forward uncontrollably, but his soul didn't feel the slightest bit unnatural.

Sitting by the campfire, the other party cut off two ribs full of lean meat and handed them over.

At dinner time, he had not eaten enough because he was absent-minded. Now, he smelled the tempting aroma, and his empty stomach made a sound, urging him to open his mouth and eat quickly.

Zhang Xiaofan blushed and lowered his head, saying, "Sorry, senior."

"It doesn't matter."

The other person's voice made him feel very warm and comfortable.

Holding the ribs, Zhang Xiaofan ate with great relish, and the other party's wine was also delicious.

After eating and drinking, he looked at the pile of bones in front of him and blushed again, even to his ears.

He mustered up his courage, raised his head, and looked at the other person for the first time.

So he was stunned.

What kind of person is this?
The face is like a jade carving, and the edges are as if cut by a knife.

The eyebrows are like distant ink, the eyes are like stars, the nose bridge is high, and the lips are like mountains.

The faint moonlight and the warm bonfire cast shadows on his cheeks, but they could not hide his eyes that were as bright as the rising sun and as deep as the ocean.

The hair hanging on her shoulders was like a black brocade shawl, and her snow-white clothes seemed like soft, flowing clouds.

Erect as a dragon, light as a fairy.

At this moment, the image of Qi Hao being looked at lovingly by Senior Sister Ling'er suddenly flashed through his mind, but in just a moment, the picture shattered.

How can you compare?

How to compare?

Even the most Taoist and sage-like master he had ever seen would pale in comparison to the person before him.

Swish!
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly jumped up as if there was a spring under his butt, and then quickly bowed down.

"I am so rude, senior! I hope you will forgive me!"

It was quiet.

Apart from the sleeping Huaying turning over and mumbling, and the gray monkey lying on the ground with a bloated belly humming comfortably, the only sound was the occasional crackling sound from the burning fire.

"sit down."

It was that gentle voice again, which immediately washed away the fear in Zhang Xiaofan's heart.

He sat down slowly, his eyes fixed on the fire, as if it contained the supreme secrets of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao.

Hong Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"I saw you here the other day."

Zhang Xiaofan was surprised. Thinking about what he did when he came here last time, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

"I am Tushan Hongchen, what about you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan looked up, forced himself to look at Hong Chen, and bowed to give his name.

"Junior Zhang Xiaofan."
