Chapter 123: Fame Rises
Yan Shangmo has been very entangled recently.
Since returning from the Shengfeng, Yan Yuyang immediately returned to the inner gate and practiced in retreat.
Of course, he is not familiar with Yan Yuyang, and what Yan Yuyang is like has nothing to do with him.
But Yan Yuxuan actually retreated, ignoring everything.
Yan Shangmo felt that her retreat was probably related to that elf feather.
Originally, he thought that this was nothing, but Yan Yuxuan had been in retreat for too long.
Within a few days, Yinqiu Courtyard lost its backbone up and down, and if there was something to find Yan Yuxuan, it was impossible to find Yan Yuyang.
Oh, Yan Shangmo and Yan Yuxuan have a good relationship, so let's find him. -- Those who are anxious think.
Things are in trouble.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Shangmo and Yan Yuxuan have a good relationship.
But only Yan Shangmo himself knew that he was actually just Yan Yuxuan's follower.
Yan Yuxuan saw that he was pleasing to the eye, so he let him stay, but this did not mean that he could replace Yan Yuxuan to deal with important matters such as Yinqiu Courtyard.
Even if Yan Yuxuan didn't pursue it afterwards and let Yan Yuyang know, he would have to suffer from it!
He didn't want to take on this kind of trouble!
So Yan Shangmo was a beautiful fox and fake tiger follower, and escaped from Mingyue Cliff in disgrace.
What to do with the remaining poor people in Yinqiuyuan, he doesn't know.
Yan Shangmo took a few tasks and went directly out of the sect.
After a few days, when he avoided the limelight and returned to the sect, he found that overnight, the wind direction of Yinqiu Courtyard suddenly changed!
No one came to him again.
Because, everyone in Yinqiu Courtyard seems to have risen a new topic.
Yan Shangmo was surprised to find that he didn't have a gossip as important!
This gossip is not another gossip, that gossip is about cultivation, and this gossip refers to a piece of news.
A piece of news that stirs up a bad taste in the bones of human beings.
Then, Yan Shangmo couldn't help but be curious, and found a familiar junior disciple in Yinqiu Courtyard to inquire.
This person's name is Yun Kui, and he is in his own family, and he is one generation lower than him, he calls him senior brother on weekdays, and he is called uncle in private.
"No, uncle, you don't know such big news?" Yan Yunkui was suddenly invited to Yan Shangmo's courtyard, and he thought that he had recruited this uncle's anger, but he didn't know that he was actually listening to the news, and he was listening to the news that had been spreading in the sect, so he didn't keep his mouth shut at the moment.
Although Yan Yunkui's words sounded like mockery, Yan Shangmo was very familiar with automatically filtering out the strange parts of his words.
"I just returned to the sect, I don't know, it's a matter of course." Yan Shangmo said very calmly.
"Yes, yes......" Yan Yunkui snickered, was glared at by Yan Shangmo, and hurriedly patted his cheek to relieve his breath.
"I just don't know, you tell me!" Although Yan Shangmo was asking for news, he couldn't help but take a shelf in front of his juniors.
However, Yan Yunkui had long been accustomed to Yan Shangmo's appearance, and he didn't care about it, and told the news.
"Uncle, do you know who the top school is in this year's examination?"
Yan Yunkui wanted to create a mysterious atmosphere, but Yan Shangmo glared at him again, and then said straight to the point.
The top spot in this year's examination?
Yan Shangmo was stunned: "What does this have to do with that news?" ”
"It's a big deal!" Yan Yunkui saw that Yan Shangmo was shocked, and couldn't help laughing, "You must not guess, the first name of the school this time is a monk in the Qi refining realm!" ”
"Qi Refining Realm?" This is truly astonishing news.
This year's talent is abundant, and many foundation building monks have joined.
Yan Shangmo couldn't figure out how a monk in the Qi Refining Realm could defeat countless foundation-building monk opponents and win the first place?
"Could it be that you are a genius of the Great Perfection Realm?"
Yan Yunkui shook his head.
"High-level realm? That's ......."
Before Yan Shangmo could finish sighing, Yan Yunkui shook his head again.
"It's not, that's not it, you sue me, what's going on?" Yan Shangmo was the most impatient with this kind of appetizing behavior, and directly slapped the wooden table next to him, causing the teacups on the table to thump.
"Don't be angry, uncle, nephew just said it." Yan Yunkui hurriedly smiled and said, "That's a female monk of the middle level of qi refining. ”
"Beginner Qi Refining? Friars? Yan Shangmo was completely confused.
Is there something wrong with his ears, or is there something wrong with the world? A female monk of the middle level of Qi refining, defeated the opponent of Zhuji and won the first place?
If this kind of thing is made up as a story, no one will listen to it, and they will laugh at the storyteller's words!
However, Yan Yunkui looked extremely serious, and Yan Shangmo didn't dare to coax this kid to deceive himself.
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "This friar...... How did you win? ”
"No, yes, yes!"
"What?"
"Nobody knows! Even the deacons and elders of the outer gate were secretive one by one, and some people went to ask, only saying that they were sealed from above. Yan Yunkui touched his lips and made a gesture, "Now, no one knows how the female monk won the first place, but everyone is even more curious, this is just an outer entrance examination school, and it is actually up to the top...... The whole thing is really confusing! ”
It's really confusing, it's incredible!
Yan Shangmo's eyes widened, he looked at Yan Yunkui hesitantly, and couldn't help but ask, "You didn't bluff me, did you?" ”
"How dare my nephew." Yan Yunkui smiled bitterly.
"Well, do you know the identity of the friar?" Yan Shangmo touched his chin and asked.
"I don't know." Yan Yunkui said very weakly: "I have also mobilized some contacts...... I also asked a few more deacons and elders, and I knew that this female monk was an official outer disciple who had just entered the sect, and I didn't know anything else. ”
"How is that possible?" Yan Shangmo couldn't help but understand.
"That's exactly what happened!" Yan Yunkui remembered his expression when he first heard this reply, which was similar to Yan Shangmo's, "That female monk, it was as if she had fallen from the sky, she appeared in Mingyue Cliff inexplicably, and someone was covering her identity, although she didn't know what was going on, but it must have something to do with a big person...... The strangest thing is that this friar's age is only seven years old! Do you want to get it? A seven-year-old girl......"
"Wait, seven?" Yan Shangmo was stunned for a moment, thinking of someone in his memory, "That female monk, what's your name?" ”
"Tang Chengnian!"
Yan Yunkui spit out three words, which made Yan Shangmo's whole person freeze.
Like a deer caught in headlights.
"Uncle...... Uncle? ”
"Ahem." Yan Shangmo took a long time before he exhaled a big breath, suddenly looked at Yan Yunkui, and said something that he couldn't understand, "Yan Yuxuan...... Good eye! ”
"Huh?"
……
Tang Chengnian was almost cut off from the outside world.
And Chang Xinchen didn't make a special trip to the door, just to deliver a lively news to her.
So, she didn't know that just outside the wall, there were countless people talking about her.
The people sent by Mingyue Jin to block the news were all unrelated to them on the surface, so so far, even many high-level people in Mingyue Cliff, especially those on Hanging Moon Peak, didn't know that Tang Chengnian was actually the niece of Mingyue and Mingyuejin, and Mingyueqian's biological daughter. If the identity of the latter one is spread, Tang Chengnian's threshold can definitely be trampled by the personal guards (commonly known as brain-dead fans or kitchen groups) before she leaves the sect with Mingyue Qian.
She devoted herself to cultivation for a day, then recuperated her spirit, and set off for the inner gate the next day.
Although Tang Chengnian is only an outer disciple now, but with Ming Yueqian leading the way, she has passed through different paths these days and walked around the inner gate as early as possible. Now even if it's the first time I've gone back to the Inner Gate Exercise Pavilion, it's not like I'm at a loss to start, uh, feet. Tang Chengnian turned around, habitually walked through another underground passage, and inserted it directly into the center of the inner door.
Walking out of the cave, Tang Chengnian was stunned, she only walked here last time, and then, she didn't know how to go.
Hey, I knew I would have gone the other way......
Just when Tang Chengnian was annoyed, a strictly dressed inner disciple passed by.
Chen Mingzhen!
This is the disciple who tested her spiritual root during the school examination.
Tang Chengnian saw a familiar face at first glance, although he didn't cry with joy, but he also rushed up to block the road as if it had been three years.
"Ping Pong"
Chen Mingzhen was so frightened that he directly pulled out his sword.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a disciple of the sect, I just want to ask for directions!" Tang Chengnian quickly took out his identity jade card.
She suddenly remembered that there was an evil cultivator a few days ago, and now the clear-eyed people in the inner door will inevitably be able to fight all the grass and trees.
So she didn't dare to hesitate, seeing that Chen Mingzhen was still holding a sword, she hurriedly threw the jade card to the ground, and took the initiative to take ten steps back.
"I'm really a disciple of the sect, although I'm from the outer sect...... Tang Chengnian, we met two months ago, and I am the Fire Spirit Root......"
"Tang Chengnian?" Hearing the three words of Fire Spirit Root, Chen Mingzhen's expression suddenly relaxed.
He hurriedly bent down to pick up the identity jade plate for inspection, and when he was done, he came over and handed it back to her, "A few days ago, there was an evil cultivator lurking in the sect, so ...... You'd better not jump out of the way in the future. ”
"Yes, uncle, nephew remember." Tang Chengnian was busy, and it should be.
This gesture of cooperation obviously satisfied Chen Mingzhen.
He also slowly recalled Tang Chengnian, that strange fire spirit root.
Then he asked, "How did you get into the inner door?" ”
"Hahaha......" Tang Chengnian explained with a dry smile, "I was lucky enough to get a sect reward, and I went to the Gongfa Pavilion to pick out cheats." ”
"Oh." Chen Mingzhen responded intuitively, and after a while, he was stunned suddenly, and asked again, "Go to the Gongfa Pavilion to pick out cheats?" ”
"Hmmm......"
"Inner Gate Exercise Pavilion?"
"Hmm."
Tang Chengnian didn't want to be suspected by Chen Mingzhen, so he had to explain seriously, but he didn't want to show off too much, so he didn't mention that he had won the first prize. But now it seems...... She still seems to be a little more flamboyant.
"You'll have to pick and choose." Chen Mingzhen had a tangled expression on her ancestor's face.
"Nature, nature." Tang Chengnian looked left and right, and saw that there was really no one nearby, so he had to continue to ask cheekily, "I don't know if Uncle Shi is free?" ”
Chen Mingzhen neither said yes nor no, but only asked, "What's the matter?" ”
