Chapter 168: Old Friend

At this moment, there was a commotion, and many people's eyes turned towards the entrance of the hall.

A young man and woman walked into the hall hand in hand.

If we put aside the various auras surrounding Zhang Yuelu and Zhang Yuelu's aura that attracts thousands of people, in terms of appearance alone, Zhang Yuelu is not as good as this woman. It cannot be said that Zhang Yuelu is not good-looking, I can only say that there are differences between beauties. Zhang Yuelu has never been a person who wins based on her appearance. Her strength lies in her unique temperament that few others can compare with.

The woman was dressed in a pure white dress. Otherwise, she was so beautiful and elegant that no one could stare at her. However, her expression was cold and indifferent. She was as pure as ice and snow, but also as cold as ice and snow. I didn’t know whether she was happy or sad, angry or happy. At first glance, He is a person who is not easy to approach.

The man next to her is naturally much stronger than Qi Xuansu. He has a clear and handsome face, sword-shaped eyebrows at the temples, and phoenix eyes that are powerful. People can't help but praise him for being such a handsome man. Standing next to the woman, he is actually a handsome man. Don't fall behind.

Moreover, the man has a spirit of vigor, which is somewhat similar to Zhang Yuelu, but not exactly the same as Zhang Yuelu. Qi Xuansu has always believed that Zhang Yuelu has the spirit of a dragon and a tiger; a tiger and a leopard, a colt, but has the spirit of eating cattle; a swan and a swan, whose wings are not yet fully fledged but has the heart of the four seas. Although he is still a little immature in the eyes of elders and big shots, among people of similar status, he is extremely oppressive and powerful without anger.

This person's sharpness is like an unsheathed sword. The cold light is frightening and the cold air is overwhelming. He is not as dignified as Zhang Yuelu, but has a sense of deviating from his sword.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu naturally noticed this extremely outstanding man and woman, but Zhang Yuelu was not jealous of any other woman. He just said: "This girl is made of crystal, and she is also a snowman."

Qi Xuansu did not speak.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu strangely.

Qi Xuansu looked strange, with a hint of disgust.

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Tianyuan, do you know these two people?"

Qi Xuansu said: "We know them, but I didn't expect to see them here. It's unlucky."

Zhang Yuelu rarely saw Qi Xuansu acting like this, and became more and more curious: "Why, do you have a grudge against them?"

Qi Xuansu considered his words and said slowly: "You have read my file and you should know that I was born in the Bingzi Nianjia Department of Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and they are in the same department as me."

Zhang Yuelu said in surprise: "In that case, you are still classmates, so you should have a good relationship."

"You are not from the lower palace of Wanxiang Taoist Palace, so you don't understand many of the ways inside." Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "Three months before graduation, Wanxiang Taoist Palace will have a special trial for Taoist boys who are interested in becoming Taoist priests. Divide into two camps, named Longshe and Hushe respectively, and then let the two sides engage in a confrontation in the prescribed area designated in the Wanxiang Dao Palace. Both sides will each elect a leader, arrange their troops, and the rest People follow orders and perform their duties. If you lose, you will be punished. If you win, you will be rewarded. For the Taoists who had nothing at the time, this reward was very important, so everyone wanted to win."

It was the first time that Zhang Yuelu knew that there was such a trial in the lower palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace, and he showed an interested look on his face: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone to any clan school. I should have gone to Wanxiang Dao Palace."

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "With your background, when you go to the lower palace of Wanxiang Taoist Palace, are you not afraid of being isolated by children who are orphans?"

Zhang Yuelu asked back: "Do you think people who follow the trend of others are only among adults?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless.

Zhang Yuelu asked: "If I go to the lower palace of the Wanxiang Dao Palace, I should be able to be elected as the leader of the Dragon Society or the Tiger Society, right?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Probably."

Zhang Yuelu asked again: "Have you ever been a leader?"

"I haven't done it." Qi Xuansu shook his head and pointed at the young man and woman, "But they have done it."

Zhang Yuelu was slightly startled: "Have they all done it?"

Qi Xuansu said: "The man's name is Wan Xiuwu, the leader of the Tiger Club. The woman's name is Yue Liuli, the leader of the Dragon Club. I was a member of the Dragon Club back then. This Yue Liuli was very cruel at a young age. The leader of the Tiger Club was Because of her high level of cultivation, she had the upper hand, so she used a group of us as bait without informing her in advance, hoping to win in a desperate attempt to win. If the instructor hadn't arrived in time, our group would have almost died that time. During the trial. Even so, Wan Xiuwu also left a gash on my body and made me lie in bed for half a month. "

Having said this, Qi Xuansu subconsciously stretched out his hand to press the location of the wound, but suddenly remembered that after absorbing the "Xuan Jade", he had become completely new, and there were no old wounds anymore.

Zhang Yuelu understood and squinted at the man and woman who looked like a couple of gods.

Qi Xuansu continued: "I didn't get the reward in the end. I won't say anything. I'm willing to admit defeat. I won't say anything after being chopped by someone. My skills are inferior to others. The two of them were heroes and cherished heroes after the incident. They were in love with each other. We people don't care. What, their stepping stone? So I have grievances, and I can’t be convinced and applaud when something like this happens.”

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Do they know that you have grievances against them?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "I don't think they know. They are the proud sons of Wanxiang Taoist Palace. At most, they remember that they have a number one person like me, so they don't care what I think."

Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "What kind of arrogant people? The most indispensable thing in Taoism is the so-called arrogant people. If you catch a lot of them, why should you look down on others?"

Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly and said, "You are the only one qualified to say such things."

"I never thought I was a child of destiny, not even a genius." Zhang Yuelu said, "A true genius should be like Donghuang, who has no special chances and adventures. He has already become a celestial being at our age just by himself. Donghuang is qualified to look down on others, so I think that if you want to call yourself a genius, you should first become a celestial being before the age of 30 without relying on external forces before you can talk about other things."

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "Looking back to the past and present, how many Donghuangs have there been?"

Zhang Yuelu was about to speak when he found that Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli had noticed the two and were walking towards them.

Qi Xuansu calmed down, suppressed the old resentment back to the bottom of his heart, and returned to his usual appearance.

In terms of momentum, Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli are evenly matched, and there is no one who is much higher than the other. On the other hand, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are absolutely strong women and weak men. There is no way. Qi Xuansu is not as good as Zhang Yuelu in realm and status, and even in terms of mind and pattern, there is a lot of difference. It is normal that he is not as good as Zhang Yuelu.

Therefore, Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli focused their attention on Zhang Yuelu. They only glanced at Qi Xuansu and did not even recognize him as their classmate. After all, Qi Xuansu had changed a lot compared to the past, especially today he changed his clothes.

This was exactly what Qi Xuansu wanted. He was not used to being watched and did not like being watched. It was better to let him stay in a corner so that he could observe others freely and casually without worrying about other things.

Zhang Yuelu did not impulsively want to defend Qi Xuansu, but just faced the two with a normal attitude. After all, she was not a reckless man. After learning about the plan of her cousin and mother, she did not directly confront them, because without evidence, she would probably be blamed and fall into a passive position.

Maybe Zhang Yuelu was not the most talented person among her peers, but she had the greatest reputation, mainly due to three things. The first thing was that she was a hero in the Jiangnan case, the second thing was that she had beaten Li Tianzhen, a direct descendant of the Li family with a very high generation, and the third thing was that she was appointed as the deputy hall master by the geomancer at such a young age.

The two had obviously heard of Zhang Yuelu's name, and they were not too arrogant, just testing and comparing.

Because Zhang Yuelu was a woman, Wan Xiuwu did not take the initiative to speak, but Yue Liuli, who was also a woman, came forward to talk to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu did not reject people and treated them with courtesy.

Yue Liuli's eyes swept over Qi Xuansu, who had been silent all the time, and asked softly: "Who is this?"

Qi Xuansu finally spoke: "Qi Xuansu."

Yue Liuli had never heard of this name, but felt that it was familiar.

This was also reasonable. The name "Qi Xuansu" was given by Qi Haoran. Qi Xuansu was not called this name when he was in Wanxiang Dao Palace.

The more Yue Liuli looked at him, the more familiar he felt. He couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you from Wanxiang Dao Palace?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Yes, I am glad that the leader still remembers me."

Yue Liuli could finally confirm, "You changed your name."

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Yes, Qi Xuansu, just call me by my courtesy name 'Tianyuan'."

"Qi Tianyuan." Yue Liuli sighed softly.

Not all Quanzhen Daoists are monks. The two are now disciples of the Wuxu Palace Master. They came to Yunjin Mountain with their master as guests. Naturally, they would not associate Qi Xuansu with Qi Jiaozheng, the Master of the Ministry of Personnel, and think that Qi Xuansu is the younger generation nephew of Qi Jiaozheng.

Because Qi Xuansu is not a member of the Tiger Society, Wan Xiuwu's impression of Qi Xuansu is even weaker. He said, "So we are old friends and classmates. It is fate that we can meet here. Brother Qi was also invited to participate in the auction?"

Qi Xuansu said truthfully, "I dare not not come when a master invites me."

A strange color flashed in Yue Liuli's eyes.

She didn't expect that the guy she had discarded as a pawn would actually become a master.

The real person invited her, and the beautiful woman accompanied him.

It is true that a man should be treated with new eyes after three days of separation.

Yue Liuli couldn't help asking, "Who are Tianyuan and Miss Zhang?"

Zhang Yuelu took the initiative to say, "We are very good friends."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiuwu's eyes flashed with gloom, which disappeared in a flash.

When he was in Wanxiang Dao Palace, Wan Xiuwu was the undisputed leader, with the highest cultivation and prestige. He could command hundreds of people to respond. In the small environment of Wanxiang Dao Palace, he experienced the taste of power early, and later he got the beauty back, which was perfect. On the other hand, Qi Xuansu was not outstanding in Wanxiang Dao Palace. He could only be said to be above average. In the final trial, he was even chopped down by Wan Xiuwu with three swords. He really couldn't be compared with Wan Xiuwu.

But Wan Xiuwu suddenly found that the ordinary classmate at the beginning was actually on equal footing with him, and no one would think that Yue Liuli was stronger than Zhang Yuelu, who had once rejected Li Tianzhen with violence. The gap made him very uncomfortable.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little stiff.
