Chapter Eighty-Five: A Quiet Return
In front of the sword washing pool, there was a dead silence, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Chen ignored Xi Siyu's look of amazement and surprise, and nodded directly to Ouyang Tian: "Well, since you gave me this sword washing pool, I naturally won't waste it in vain, I have already transformed this place, it is not unusual for you to be promoted to sword king here." ”
"Mr. Li is really a good means, and your prestige was ...... three months ago" Ouyang Tian was about to blurt out praise Li Chen, but found that Li Chen's eyes were indifferent, and a chill rose from his heart.
Ouyang Tian had just been promoted to the Sword King, and he was unprecedentedly confident in his own strength, but now he found that facing Li Chen, it was still like facing an unfathomable existence as he was at the beginning.
He was shocked to find that the gap between the two of them had not only not narrowed, but had a tendency to widen, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
After thinking about it, he already understood that Li Chen was unwilling to reveal the identity of the Hidden King, so he laughed heartily and said, "All in all, thank you Mr. Li!"
"If you're okay, please go back. After all, this is mine now. Li Chen said indifferently.
Ouyang Tian's face was embarrassed, so he had to laugh a few times, then turned his head to look at the others who seemed to be stupid, and said with a hearty smile: "You are all people I sent?"
Xu Yingjie finally reacted, and hurriedly reported tremblingly: "The second worship of Xu Yingjie in the Thunder Hall of Shuijing Peak, I have seen the master of the sect!"
"Well, since Mr. Li invited you here, then this time you are not considered to have disobeyed the door rules, and I don't care about you. Ouyang Tian nodded.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gu Yan'er, and said with a smile: "Little Yanzi, you go back and talk to your father and let him work harder, otherwise I will throw him farther and farther away, old man." ”
"Little Swallow?" Gu Yan'er blinked incredibly, and finally reunited the old man in front of her with the appearance of the head who had hugged her when she was young, and couldn't help but be surprised, "It turns out that you are really Grandpa Ouyang Tian!"
"Hahaha, the eighteenth female college has changed, and she doesn't even recognize me! I have to settle accounts with your father when I go back, and see how he is the peak master, and how his daughter can't even recognize the head!" Ouyang Tian blew his beard and glared.
"Ouyang Tian, you talk too much. Li Chen's indifferent voice sounded again.
Ouyang Tian laughed dryly, muttered a sentence or two, that is, the operation of the internal breath, the sword king's domineering momentum was radiated again, and then stepped out, it was already ten zhang away, just teleported step by step, and walked under the sword washing pool.
"Step into the void, the real person in charge has really been promoted to the Sword King!" Xu Yingjie said in a trembling voice.
Unlike the flying sword king's sword-wing, the sword-wielding sword's way of moving is to step into the void.
Only the crowd at the scene seemed to be in a dream.
"This is the Sword Washing Pool, you can take a look around. Li Chen casually commanded everyone.
As he spoke, he also pulled Gu Yan'er and walked along a step that had been built at random to the stone platform in the middle of the Sword Washing Pool, and Yu Yu also consciously followed.
Then, Li Chen remembered Mu Xi again, so he turned back and waved to Mu Xi: "Sister Mu, you can also come up to this stage to have a look, this place is good for your body." ”
Mu Xi walked up the steps in a daze, feeling the coolness of his body, and still trembled in disbelief: "Xiaochen...... Is all this true?"
Zuo Tong only felt that he had exhausted the imagination of his life, and he had never thought of this situation - Li Chen, who was the same age as him, was actually personally presented with the sword washing pool by the head of the sect, and just now the head actually said that the sword washing pool that Li Chen had transformed helped him advance to the sword king?!
Xi Siyu was also surprised at the moment.
Mr. Li Chen, the master of the sect's heavy sword pool?
Is this still the Li Chen who has brute force in her impression, but doesn't even have a little internal breath?
What's wrong with the world?
And even if Lian Chengfeng was one of the real geniuses inside the outer gate at this moment, he couldn't hide the shock in his expression at all.
Just now, the real person in charge, Mr. Li called this Li Chen like this?
Could it be that the reason why this Li Chen knew Ouyang Lan was because he had already gotten acquainted with the master?
With this layer of relationship in it, Helen she ......
Thinking of this, Lian Chengfeng hurriedly looked at Xu Hailian beside him, and sure enough, he found that although Xu Hailian was also very surprised, her eyes were staring at Li Chen all the time, as if there were other emotions in it.
Is this regret, anger, or helplessness?
Lian Chengfeng couldn't read it clearly, but he only knew that since tonight, the candidate in Xu Hailian's mind had become confusing again, and he sadly found that it seemed that Li Chen's chances were much greater than his.
Only Xu Yingjie still maintained the posture of sending off the master, his face kept twitching slightly, and he was clenching his teeth, trying to keep him awake and not weaken his body directly.
"It turned out to be me, and I was always wrong. ”
His heart was full of remorse and self-reproach at the moment.
......
Xi Siyu, Zuo Tong and the others almost crawled and escaped from the sword washing pool.
Li Chen not only let them visit around the sword washing pool, but also personally went to the sword washing pool and picked up a few swords that were silent here, saying that he wanted to give them to them.
This is a tradition of the sect, and whenever an important person of the sect wants to retire, they will throw their lifelong sword into this sword washing pool.
Therefore, these swords are all the precious memories and treasures of the sect.
After Xi Siyu and Zuo Tong took the sword slowly, they directly found an excuse and fled quickly.
If it wasn't Li Chen who brought Xi Siyu over today, but those peak masters of the sect, she probably wouldn't hesitate to stay here for a while, and even ask to practice here.
But now, Xi Siyu only felt that his face was silently twitched several times, although it didn't hurt on his face, but it hurt in his heart.
Only Mu Xi and Gu Yan'er felt very comfortable on the stone platform, and the sparkling pool water around them, and the bright moonlight on their heads, plus the inexplicable coolness of their bodies, made their hearts flutter.
However, when Li Chen quenched the sword for Gu Yan'er, Gu Yan'er still left with a lot of interest.
It was getting late, and there was no house by the sword washing pool, if they stayed a little longer, Li Chen would have to accompany them for a while, Gu Yan'er was worried that this would delay Li Chen going back to rest.
Everyone returned the same way, and there was silence.
Lian Chengfeng, who was personable before, and had the intention to invite Hailian to walk under the moon, was also silent at the moment, frowning and thinking about something.
Li Chen, why is it this Li Chen? Could it be that the head of the family really gave him the sword washing pool on the spur of the moment?
Xi Siyu kept looking down at the glimmering ground, and suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "That Li Chen knew Ouyang Lan before, could it be that Ouyang Lan who was coquettish to the real person in charge, so that he could give the sword washing pool to Li Chen?"
The more she talked, the more she felt that what she said was right, how could there be such a good thing in the world, and the head of the sword washing pool would give it away inexplicably?
Zuo Tong shook his head awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Everyone knows very well that the special status of the Sword Washing Pool in the sect cannot be given away by virtue of the identity of the granddaughter of the head of the sect.
Unless the relationship between Li Chen and Ouyang Lan is not good friends, but has reached the point of talking about marriage, at this time, even if the head of the family gives him the sword washing pool, in the end it is still in the name of the head of the house.
And if Li Chen really marries Ouyang Lan, then the people here may only be able to look up to him. After all, the granddaughter of the head of the family is not an ordinary lady, even if she is placed in Nanling County, she is comparable to the existence of a princess.
Only Mu Xi's heart was full of relief at the moment, thinking that she really didn't misunderstand Li Chen, that child is from the Li family, how can he really be compared to ordinary people?
And Xu Hailian just kept walking silently at this time, even if she kicked a small pebble under her feet, she didn't react, and stumbled for a while from time to time.
Her mind is the most complicated in everyone's mind, and even she can't figure it out herself.
She was not only amazed that what Li Chen said was true, but also surprised why Li Chen could get such a gift from the master, and at the same time she was angry that Li Chen had been hiding her identity in front of her, and she didn't take her to heart at all.
"Li Chen, Li Chen, why do you always ignore me like this? If you told me the truth directly three months ago, I would have really confirmed what I said? How could you have fallen to today to learn that you are extraordinary?"
"Could it be that you deliberately arranged all this, just to see my jokes?"
Xu Hailian's heart was entangled to the extreme, and at the same time, she had an inexplicable sense of regret.
She turned her head to look at Lian Chengfeng beside her, and found that Lian Chengfeng was still the same demeanor, the same handsome, and the same promising, and her father had always had the intention of matching the two, if all this was not influenced by Li Chen, it seemed that choosing Lian Chengfeng was also a good choice.
But why is there such a Li Chen?
"Yan'er mentioned you in front of me for three months, and I listened to your name for three months, why is your name so annoying, you have to appear in my ears, and even, appear in ......"
Xu Hailian experienced what it was like to be sad for the first time.
In the past, Xu Hailian has always been a very assertive person, and she has always been very discerning in choosing people.
So even if she doesn't like Lian Chengfeng very much in her heart, she has never rejected Lian Chengfeng, but has always maintained a delicate balance between being emotionally fermented at any time and being a stranger at any time.
As long as she persists for another year and a half, after Lian Chengfeng's talent and strength are fully utilized, Xu Hailian will not hesitate to agree to Lian Chengfeng, because she believes that this is indeed the best choice.
But now, deep in her heart, there will always be a lingering figure, this figure is always reminding her that it is gratifying to choose Lian Chengfeng, but if she does not choose Li Chen, she will regret it for life.
Unlike everyone else, only Gu Yan'er has been walking briskly, and her heart is full of joy.
She finally understood why her father would let her hurry up her cultivation so that she could truly match the person she liked.
