Chapter 10 Staying at the Peak
"Make things clear first, and direct punishment is difficult to convince the public. ”
Shen Lu didn't expect the sect master to appear, and he was also frightened when he saw the side face.
Isn't this my newly adopted apprentice? She is actually the sect master of the Baili Sect?
However, these are not important for the time being, and we still have to deal with Lu Yanfei's matter for now.
Shen Lu knew that Yiyi was facing himself, otherwise he would not have stepped forward to stop it. As long as she finds a step down, she can use her status as a sect master to deal with it properly.
So Shen Lu stood up with an indignant face and said to the invigilator: "You said I used a secret weapon, why did I use a hidden weapon, and is there any motive?"
"Of course, you can't beat the other party, so take a risk!" said the examiner as a matter of course, which is also what many people think.
"Heh, do you think I can't beat him? ”
Shen Lu smiled contemptuously, and exploded the mana in his body, pouring it in all directions. The eightfold mana fluctuations of the Ming and Obscure Realm instantly shocked everyone. The most shocked was Fang Lan, she was just about to say a few good words to Shen Lu, but now she was so frightened that she forgot to act.
After putting away the mana, Shen Lu looked at the invigilator and said, "How is it?
Yiyi immediately followed Shen Lu's words and said: "This is an indisputable fact, since the strength is superior, why use a secret weapon? Not to mention this kind of ring competition, it will be seen at a glance." ”
The invigilator was speechless, and he really couldn't think of anything to refute. Their conspiracy is based on the fact that Shen Lu is weak, so they will use hidden weapons. Now reversed, the logic is no longer tenable.
"This is not an unusual matter, and I will arrange for someone to investigate it thoroughly. Shen Lu is suspected of using a hidden weapon, and he can't become a disciple for the time being. However, Nian is not bad at talent, so he stays in the middle court to do chores, and then makes a decision based on his future performance. Who has any doubts about this arrangement?"
Yiyi said, her eyes swept over everyone present, and after making sure that there were no objections, she left with the two apprentices.
......
Shen Lu went back to get some luggage and returned to the top of the mountain again. It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you can see Cao Ming's old face a few times.
As soon as he came to the top of the mountain, a disciple led him to the brewing room, and after introducing the location of some sundries, he also cleaned up a clean room and let Shen Lu live next to the brewing room.
Shen Lu didn't go to work immediately, but waited in the room for a while. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yiyi to slip into Shen Lu's room like a thief, and quickly closed the door, looking weak.
"Disciple, see Sect Master. Shen Lu stepped forward with a smile, and was about to bow and salute.
"Master, don't be like this, Yiyi didn't deliberately hide her identity, please punish Master!" Yiyi hurriedly helped Shen Lu and explained a little flusteredly.
Shen Lu smiled: "I'm kidding, don't look at me as scared as if you see a ghost." If it weren't for your help today, I might not have been able to get off the stage today. ”
"I'm afraid you'll be angry. In fact, Master's performance in the ring has already surpassed everyone, but Yiyi really doesn't dare to accept you as an apprentice. ”
"Of course I understand that, you don't have to worry about it. ”
After pondering for a while, Shen Lu said solemnly: "But I also understand a truth, it is not a smart way to hide your identity between your own people, and it may even cause misunderstandings, so I decided to tell you something." ”
Then, Shen Lu briefly explained his identity as the son of the city lord, and his next primary goal was to regain Snowy City.
Understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Yiyi reminded: "Master, in fact, you can use the power of the Priesthood Guild to help you. As long as you agree to some conditions, the headquarters should send someone to help you retake the city. ”
"I've thought about that, but I don't want to be too involved with the Priesthood, and once such a huge organization gets too deep, it may be difficult to get out of it. Besides......" Shen Lu said, looking in the direction of Snow Mancheng, "If you don't do this kind of thing yourself, what's the point." ”
Yiyi still wanted to say something, but suddenly coughed, and then said in a different tone: "Your suspicion is not clear for the time being, and this seat can't deliberately protect you because of your talent, but this seat will find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation." ”
Shen Lu reacted quickly and immediately responded: "I hope that the sect master can return the disciple's innocence as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm. Lan'er, come in. Yiyi snorted angrily and said outside.
Sure enough, Fang Lan pushed the door in with an embarrassed face, stuck out her tongue at Yiyi and said, "Master, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just didn't want to disturb you." ”
Yiyi glanced at her, then turned to leave. When he came to the door, he suddenly felt that something was not right, and he thought to himself, "Fang Lan shouldn't be interesting to Master, right? If there is something wrong with these two of them, then wouldn't I call my apprentice my master?"
Thinking of the embarrassment, Yi Yi suddenly felt a chill, didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and hurriedly slipped away.
Fang Lan peeked out through the crack in the window, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Yiyi walked away, and her little hand gently patted her chest.
"You seem to be afraid of your master, but she doesn't look so fierce. Shen Lu poured a cup of tea for Fang Lan and said with a smile.
"Master is usually very gentle, but when it comes to dealing with sect-related affairs, she will become very serious, and at this time she will become very scary. There was still palpitation in Fang Lan's tone, it seemed that he had really seen Yiyi's anger.
Shen Lu sighed twice and said, "I hope I won't lose my temper when I run into her in the future, I'm right...... Ahem, I have a good impression of the sect master. ”
Fang Lan didn't continue the topic, she stared at Shen Lu for a while, and when Shen Lu was uncomfortable, she asked, "Is it Lu Yanfei who you sneaked up on?"
Although Shen Lu used sophistry to temporarily escape the punishment in this matter, there were only two people in the ring at that time, and Lu Yanfei was so seriously injured that it could not have nothing to do with Shen Lu. It's okay to deal with outsiders with sophistry, but it definitely won't work here in Fang Lan.
Shen Lu still took Fang Lan as a friend, so he said very frankly: "I didn't sneak attack, I just used his secret weapon to fight back." Of course, I was also at fault, and it seemed to be a bit heavy. ”
Fang Lan seemed quite satisfied with this answer, shook her head and said, "No, no, since it is a counterattack, there is nothing important or heavy." In fact, I saw that you were holding a hidden weapon in your palm at that angle, and I ...... I'm afraid you'll lie to me. ”
Shen Lu laughed: "Ha, you want to talk about this after being entangled for a long time? I may indeed lie to you, but I will never be in such a trivial matter." ”
"And what about your identity, will you lie to me?"
Shen Lu said without hesitation: "My real name is Shen Lu, the missing city lord of Manxue City, Shen Xuanyuan, is my father, and my only goal now is to recapture Manxue City and become the city lord." Is that enough?"
Fang Lan shook her hand in a panic: "Enough is enough, I didn't want to force you to say so much." I'm glad you're willing to tell me this. ”
Shen Lu sighed secretly, and said in his heart, sister, if you know that I am from another world, have a system in my body, and am a five-star winemaker with the ability of a six-star winemaker, and at the same time I am also your master's master, do I have to scare you to death.
After making sure that Shen Lu hadn't lied to himself, Fang Lan took out a golden waist card from his waist and handed it to Shen Lu: "This waist card is given to you, and you can use it for free in any shop in Xueman City in the future." Some small gangs may also sell you some favors. I may not be able to help you much, but I really hope you can take back what is rightfully yours. Hey, it's also a welcome gift from me to the future lord of the castle. ”
A waist card can be free of charge in the whole city? This Fang Lan is not an ordinary person. It seems that he hasn't paid attention to the famous families in Snowy City for too long, and he urgently needs to make up for it.
Shen Lu didn't refuse, accepted the waist card, and made up his mind to brew a bottle of good wine for Fang Lan that would help her cultivation.
The two chatted for a while, and Fang Lan didn't leave until it got late.
After dinner, Shen Lu came to the brewing room, ready to familiarize himself with the environment, and at the same time brewed a bottle of wine for Fang Lan.
Shen Lu first found more than a dozen jars of very ordinary rice wine, and carried out secondary brewing and distillation.
After dealing with the preliminary steps, Shen Lu took out the Ten Heavenly Temple and the Ten Year Altar from his inventory, and was a little entangled in which one to use. From a friend's point of view, he should definitely use the ten-year altar to make wine for Fang Lan, but this seems to be too revealing of his winemaking ability. But after thinking about it, Fang Lan was so young, it was very likely that she had never drunk wine, let alone let her taste the quality of the wine, so she decisively used it for ten years.
As soon as the wine jar was sealed, a burst of argument came from far and near.
The first to push the door in was Dugu Yiyi, she pushed the door in very rudely, and then said extremely dissatisfied: "This matter has not been investigated after all, and it is really inappropriate for me to accept Lu Yanfei as an apprentice now." ”
Following her into the brewing room was the examiner in the ring before, named Jiang Zhou. He still persuaded bitterly: "Everyone sees Yanfei's words and deeds on weekdays, and he will never do anything to hurt people with secret arrows." Even if it is found out later that he did it, it would be good to expel him from the division. The Sect Master must not delay the young man's great future because of a small matter that has not been resolved!"
Both of them realized it later, and only then did they find Shen Lu in the brewing room.
Shen Lu pointed to the door a little embarrassed: "Why don't I go, and you continue to talk?"
"No need. Jiang Zhou said coldly to Shen Lu: "Since the person is here, let's make it clear." I saw with my own eyes that you used a bone nail to plot against Lu Yanfei, do you admit it or not?"
Shen Lu asked rhetorically, "Then did you see Lu Yanfei stuffing the bone nail into my arms and trying to blame me?"
Jiang Zhou's expression flashed a hint of unnaturalness, but he immediately returned to normal and said, "No one will believe your ridiculous lies. ”
"I happen to have a bone nail left here, just go to the Priesthood Guild and ask the forger to identify it, and you can determine where you bought it from, so that you can prove my innocence. Shen Lu said, reaching out and touching it into his arms.
After listening to Shen Lu's words, Jiang Zhou sneered: "All three of them have been shot out by you, how can you have any left......?"
As Jiang Zhou spoke, his voice gradually became smaller, and he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Shen Lu would let him go, and immediately asked, "How do you know that I only have three? If it's my own secret weapon, you shouldn't be so confident about the number of hidden weapons I have." The only reason why you are so sure is that you watched Lu Yan fly to my arms and stuff three of them, and you saw me shoot out three of them!"
"This is a quibble, a quibble!" Jiang Zhou was a little panicked, turned his head to Dugu Yiyi and said, "Sect Master, don't listen to these nonsense. ”
Dugu Yiyi frowned and said, "That's enough." Senior Brother Jiang should be tired after a busy day, so let's rest early. You won't need to intervene in this matter in the future. ”
"If you don't explain this matter clearly, it's hard to convince the public!"
Hearing that Jiang Zhou was still entangled, Dugu Yiyi's anger was finally forced up. She condensed her strong mana and locked onto Jiang Zhou's body.
The strength of the two was very different, Jiang Zhou's body was as uncomfortable as if he had pressed a mountain, and his legs suddenly became weak and he fell to the ground. Not to mention standing, he didn't even have the strength to speak at this time, and he was in pain as if he was about to die at any moment.
Dugu Yiyi turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "Why should Senior Brother Jiang make such a big gift. Since you and I are peers, it doesn't hurt to have a little quarrel, and you don't have to be so afraid because of confronting the sect master. I think I'm tired, so get up and get some rest. ”
After speaking, Dugu Yiyi let go of all the pressure, and Jiang Zhou continued to pant as if he had finally been able to breathe after drowning for a long time.
"Subordinate...... The subordinates retired. ”
Jiang Zhou left the brewing room almost half-crawling and half-running, and only after stumbling away from the distance did he sit down on the ground.
Touching a handful of wet places on his crotch, Jiang Zhou suddenly became resentful, and glared angrily in the direction of the brewing room: "Stinky woman, stinky boy, you wait for me!"
