Chapter 178 Yue Pengyu's Thoughts
Yue Pengyu kept his promise and asked the square-faced hall master to wait for her.
As soon as she showed her face, she was asked to leave by the people of Hengjian Villa, and the people who had just walked in front of her and behind her asked each other,
Who is that?
But those who were asked all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"To be personally invited by the people of Hengjian Villa, I think he is not an ordinary person. Could he be a specially invited foreign aid?"
"It is said that many masters came to this competition. The secret book seems to be real. Although we cannot compete with them, we will have no regrets to fight for it."
Who knows if an accident will happen and it will happen to you?
Even experts get tired and make mistakes.
While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, and there are many people who hope to get away with it.
Xiao Zhengdu's stature was hard not to attract attention. On the square inside Qianshan Temple,
The people from Hengjian Villa had already formed their battle formation and stood in neat rows behind Yue Pengyu.
The man and woman brought by the hall master had stunning looks. Lou Xiaoyue Pengyu had seen them before and nodded to them from a distance.
Then her eyes fell on Xiao Zhengdu and stayed there for a long time before moving away.
Xiao Zhengdu noticed it, lowered his eyes and moved closer to Lou Xiao.
He didn't even raise his eyes until Lou Xiao approached Yue Pengyu and they exchanged greetings with fists.
It was Yue Pengyu who took the initiative to bring it up, looking at Xiao Zhengdu with shining eyes, "Miss Zhao, this is..."
Lou Xiao said naturally, "This is my good friend."
She nudged Xiao Zhengdu, who was pretending to be dead, and asked him to introduce himself quickly.
Xiao Zhengdu raised his eyes reluctantly, cupped his hands, and said perfunctorily, "My name is Niu Tiezhu, nice to meet you."
Lou Xiao stared at him in disbelief with her eyes wide open. If you want to make up a story, you have to make it believable, okay? !
This sounds fake...
"I am Yue Pengyu from Hengjian Villa, Mr. Niu, nice to meet you." Yue Pengyu looked very serious, as if he didn't notice Xiao Zhengdu's perfunctory tone.
This made Xiao Zhengdu's expression slightly straighten up. She didn't just leave him aside?
This actually showed that he was in the wrong, so Xiao Zhengdu calmed down and saluted with his fists.
Yue Pengyu showed his admiration for him on his face, but he couldn't show it too clearly in front of the other sects. He restrained his expression and smiled at Lou Xiao.
"Tianci has been asking you when to come over since early morning. He said he is very grateful for your help and asked me to make sure to reserve a seat for you."
Lou Xiao looked at the many people behind her, "Isn't he here?"
"He is still young and his studies are the most important thing. We should not let him watch such fighting and killing."
Yue Pengyu hopes that his younger brother will honestly pursue the path of imperial examinations and intends to sever his ties with the underworld.
"Is Niu Xiashi also interested in the secret book? Will he come on stage?" Yue Pengyu pulled the silent Xiao Zhengdu into the topic.
"It is said that the secret book is a unique martial art. Learning it can prolong one's life and make one unrivaled in the world. Regardless of whether it is true or not, all the people who came here are experts in martial arts. There is no harm in having a competition."
Xiao Zhengdu refused, "I am not good at martial arts, so I won't join in the fun."
Lou Xiao glanced at him, not knowing who had instigated her to come here.
"We are just taking a look. We have no desire for the secret book." Lou Xiao made his attitude clear. "Will Miss Yue come on stage? I wish you a successful start."
Yue Pengyu laughed, "I'm grateful for your good words."
The two of them sat behind her, as if they were protected by the people from Hengjian Villa.
Who knows what kind of respected person has come? Lou Xiao took a quick look but didn't recognize him.
Yue Pengyu stood up to greet him, and had a pleasant conversation with him, laughing heartily.
She does seem like a capable leader, a well-rounded and convincing person.
Lou Xiao whispered to Xiao Zhengdu, "Didn't you say you wanted to come and watch the fun? Why are you so gloomy now that you're here?"
Xiao Zhengdu looked at her expression and found that she seemed to have noticed nothing. He felt depressed.
“It’s boring, the martial arts world is just like that, there’s nothing interesting about fighting.
What chance do you have with her? Why does she look at you so differently, as if she has known you for a long time? "
Lou Xiao felt that his temper came out of nowhere, "It was just a fight, but there was no winner.
She is a typical Jianghu person, who values friendship and chivalry. If you are curious about the Jianghu, you can spend more time with her. "
Xiao Zhengdu became even more depressed. "No need. I think you and her are getting along pretty well. We're going to be sworn brothers and sisters tomorrow."
"That won't happen...but more contact is always good." Lou Xiao actually has a good impression of Yue Pengyu. At least after getting to know him now, he has no problem dealing with people.
"Don't forget what we are here for." Xiao Zhengdu reminded her, "If we really become friends, how will you cope with it?"
If Hengjian Villa did do something wrong, they would face the death penalty.
Even if we come to His Majesty for help, there will be no change.
Lou Xiao's expression was blank for a moment, and the excitement in her heart disappeared without a trace.
She said, "Yeah," "I understand."
Xiao Zhengdu was not used to the sudden silence between the two. He didn't mean to throw cold water on her.
He softened his tone and took the initiative to bring up the topic, "What exactly is that secret book about? Where did it come from? Why are so many sects trying to snatch it?"
Lou Xiao opened his mouth, but he couldn't just say that everything was fake when someone was around him, so he turned around and asked the young man from Hengjian Villa standing next to them,
"I'm sorry, we are new here and don't know how rare this secret book is. Why does even Hengjian Villa value it so much?"
If it weren't for the fact that they had some relationship with Yue Pengyu, they would probably have been laughed at. They were already sitting here, but they didn't know the importance of the secret book?
"When it first appeared, the owner of the manor was also skeptical. It was said to have been obtained from a thousand-year-old tomb complex in the northern border desert, and was a sheepskin manuscript of the lost high priest of the ancient country of Moli.
The techniques of body training, diet, daily life, and the subtleties of martial arts are all contained in the manuscript. The martial arts of the entire Northern Border and beyond have only learned the basics, and it was originally thought that it had been lost long ago.
Their high priest and king are very old, some are as young as twenty at the age of eighty, and do not show any signs of aging, which is very rare.
The abbot of Qianshan Temple has guaranteed that it is the real thing, but the words on it are obscure and difficult to understand, and Qianshan Temple knows that it is difficult to protect the treasure, so it will be sent to the destined person after the competition. "
Is the so-called secret book a note left by an ancient desert country?
Lou Xiao nodded and smiled to express her gratitude. The seemingly reasonable story formed a scam that seemed real and fake.
Of course she didn't believe it, and she believed that the people present must have doubts.
But since the rumor has been released, even if it is false, what is the loss?
The victory is real.
If you win a competition, you will have status, and no matter whether the spoils are real or fake, your reputation will not be fake.
Lou Xiao and Xiao Zhengdu looked at each other. It seemed that the martial arts world was indeed not peaceful.
She had originally told Wang Fang that the martial arts world was peaceful, but when she came here today, she discovered that perhaps in addition to Hengjian Villa, there seemed to be other unstable factors.
Lou Xiao only felt that the Jianghu she thought was about revenge and vengeance seemed to have a bit more utilitarianism.
It’s surprisingly similar to the capital, where everything is about profit.
