Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Gathering of Storms
readx;?ā Han Cheng!"
Mu Ming looked at Han Cheng who came by breaking through the crowd with deep eyes, and at this moment, Han Cheng was followed by Han Ling'er and a few Han Sect disciples. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I can't imagine that just one Lu Yifan can attract so many people to come forward for him!" Mu Ming said with a sneer, he has never been afraid of anyone, even if it is Han Cheng, who is stronger than him, Mu Ming will not take it seriously, and the reason why he is quite polite to Tang Ruoxi is completely because of Liu Qing, "Today, my Qingmen is here to solve the grievances with Lu Yifan, and I hope you two will not interfere!"
In fact, Mu Ming's words have already given Tang Ruoxi enough face, because almost everyone in the academy already knows that many of the helpers led by Lu Yifan when he took revenge on Qingmen were from the Tang Sect, and today Mu Ming even pretended not to know about Tang Ruoxi, which is enough to show Mu Ming's good intentions.
If something really happened to Tang Ruoxi, Mu Ming really couldn't explain it to Liu Qing.
Mu Ming's words made Tang Ruoxi's eyes cold, only to see her staring at Mu Ming coldly, and said lightly: "Qingmen dispatched hundreds of people today, just to deal with Lu Yifan and the five of them, this doesn't seem to be your Qingmen's style, right?"
"What is the style of Qingmen, I don't think I need to explain it to the Tang Sect Master!" Mu Ming sneered and said, "Tang Sect Master, for the sake of my eldest brother's affection, I didn't want to be your enemy. But today, Lu Yifan and my Qingmen's account must be calculated clearly! If you insist on interfering, then don't blame me for not giving you face as the master of the Tang Sect!"
"If you bring so many people here today, you won't save face for my Vermilion Bird Courtyard, and no matter what personal grievances you have with Lu Yifan, just saying that your Qingmen is besieging the people of my Vermilion Bird Courtyard today, I, Tang Ruoxi, will definitely not sit idly by!" Tang Ruoxi was like an iron heart, and he went toe-to-toe with Mu Ming.
"Tang Ruoxi!" Mu Ming suddenly snorted coldly, at this moment, he was also worn out by Tang Ruoxi's repeated compulsion, "Don't think that I don't know what your Tang Sect is doing in secret, you have been secretly helping Lu Yifan deal with Qingmen, why do you have to find the Vermilion Bird Courtyard as a cover now?"
"So what?" Tang Ruoxi was also angered by Mu Ming's cold words at this moment.
"Hehe, I don't think there will be any misunderstanding in this matter......" Han Cheng still wants to be peaceful.
"Master Hanmen, there is no misunderstanding in this matter!" But he didn't want Mu Ming to directly interrupt Han Cheng's words, "Between Qingmen and Lu Yifan today, no one can stop it!"
"What if I want to block it?" A faint battle intent emanated from Tang Ruoxi's surroundings, and she looked directly at Mu Ming with her eyes like a torch.
"That is, the Tang Sect is taking the initiative to provoke the fight with the Qingmen, and the blame is turning his face ruthlessly!" Mu Ming had completely lost his patience at this moment, and his words began to become murderous.
Han Cheng looked at Tang Ruoxi and Mu Ming left and right, especially when he saw Tang Ruoxi's determined appearance, a smug light flashed in his eyes very inadvertently.
Han Cheng and Liu Qing both have a strong affection for Tang Ruoxi, and now Tang Ruoxi and Qingmen are facing each other, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Han Cheng to defeat Liu Qing.
"Ahem, Lu Yifan is also a friend of Ling'er, since Qingmen insists on making trouble for him today, then Han can only offend!" Han Cheng looked straight, and then strode to Tang Ruoxi's side, forming a two-on-one situation with Mu Ming, Han Cheng glanced at Tang Ruoxi deeply, and said lightly, "More importantly, I won't allow anyone to move Ruoxi's hair!"
"You ......" Mu Ming was about to go crazy, he had already expected that Tang Ruoxi would be desperate to help Lu Yifan, and then make the Tang Sect and the Qingmen enemies. But he never thought that there would be another Han Cheng in the battle.
Mu Ming knew in his heart that if he only dealt with the Tang Gate, Qingmen would naturally have an absolute advantage, but if the opponent was coupled with a strong Han Gate, the situation would be completely different. If Mu Ming insists on going down again at this moment, and wants to fight one against two, he is afraid that he will really cause Qingmen to fall into a place of no return.
Although Mu Ming was angry, he knew very well in his heart that it was not advisable to fight one against two!
"Second brother ......" Cheng Yi, who was standing behind, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Mu Ming's ear, "For the sake of a Lu Yifan, it is not worth it to set up two strong rivals of Hanmen and Tangmen at the same time......!
"Why don't I know this?" Mu Ming said coldly, "It's just that hundreds of my Qingmen brothers have already been killed here today, if they go back like this, then Qingmen will really be finished!"
"It's hard to ride a tiger...... It's hard to ride a tiger ......," Cheng Yi muttered worriedly.
"Haha...... Brother Mu is not in a hurry, the Tang Sect does not represent the Vermilion Bird Courtyard at all, the Vermilion Bird Courtyard has always been above board, and it will never allow a despicable person like Lu Yifan. She Tang Ruoxi doesn't know what is going on, but I, Qin Qingyu, understand! Tang Men is confused, but my Yumen is not confused!"
Just when Mu Ming was in a dilemma, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the back of the crowd, and then he saw Qin Qingyu walking over with dozens of Yumen disciples, and looking at Qin Qingyu's smug look, it was obvious that he was prepared today!
"Thank you Qin Sect Master!" Mu Ming saw Qin Qingyu, and immediately understood Qin Qingyu's purpose in his heart, he wanted to take this opportunity to solve the Tang Sect in one fell swoop.
"Brother Mu, I have long wanted to clean up the portal, but I have been suffering from no good opportunity, today is a rare opportunity, I Yumen is willing to work with you Qingmen to solve this matter! At the same time, I also return my Vermilion Bird Courtyard to a clean slate, others in the province think that the people of my Vermilion Bird Courtyard like to hurt people secretly, and dare to be hypocrites!" Qin Qingyu laughed loudly, he had already come to Mu Ming's side when he spoke, and looking at his firm expression, his position was already obvious.
Qin Qingyu's appearance made Tang Ruoxi and Han Cheng's faces change at the same time. Especially Tang Ruoxi, she felt more and more that the development of things was a little beyond her expectations.
And Lu Yifan, who is the protagonist of this farce, has fallen into the position of a bystander at this moment, and the contradictions between Mu Ming and Qin Qingyu are now completely placed on Tang Ruoxi and Han Cheng.
"Bang! bang!"
Just when everyone was amazed by the fact that the situation had changed again and again, a crisp slap suddenly sounded from the crowd, and it seemed that some people couldn't bear to applaud this farce.
The crisp slap sound was extremely clear in the silent snow, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the crowd automatically separated a passage, and at this moment, I saw more than a dozen black-clothed guards in black courtyard robes striding over.
Among these black-clothed guards, Lu Yifan recognized Wu Yue at a glance, but the strange thing was that the person who led the team today was not Wu Yue, but another cold-faced young man with a thin body.
"Mo Bai!" Seeing the black-clothed guard led by him, Tang Ruoxi, Han Cheng, Mu Ming, and Qin Qingyu were shocked almost at the same time, they didn't expect that they would actually recruit the famous black-clothed second captain "Mo Bai" today!
Similarly, when Lu Yifan learned Mo Bai's identity, his heart was also violently shaken.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful!" Mo Bai clapped his hands and praised with a smile, "The Han Gate of the Qinglong Academy, the Qingmen of the White Tiger Academy, the Tang Gate and the Yumen of the Vermilion Bird Academy, the three major factions and the four major forces are all present, if you add the "Chumen" of the Xuanwu Academy, it can be compared to the academy competition!"
Hearing Mo Bai's words, Han Cheng's four couldn't help but change their faces, of course they could hear some irony from Mo Bai's words.
"I don't know what kind of wind actually blew you here?" Mu Ming glanced at the black-clothed guard coldly, and then said lightly, most of the students in the academy didn't have a good impression of the black-clothed guard.
"What kind of wind, of course, it's a biting cold wind!" Maybe Mo Bai was already used to a cold attitude, so he wasn't angry, and still said to himself, "And I seem to smell a faint smell of blood from this cold wind!"
Saying that, Mo Bai really closed his eyes, sniffed it in the air fiercely, and then sighed again and again: "What a strong smell of blood, what a strong killing intent......"
"Mo Bai, don't go around in circles here, just say whatever you want, and leave quickly after you finish speaking!" Han Cheng also seemed to have a bad feeling for Mo Bai, in this position, he was on the same line with Mu Ming, Han Cheng knew the black-clothed guard too well in his heart, and Mo Bai's words just now definitely did not mean to help Lu Yifan resolve the crisis.
"I never show up just to say a word!" Mo Bai said with a smile still on his face, "I'm here for two things. First of all, I personally want to see the bloody struggle between the four major forces, you must know that this kind of scene is absolutely unavoidable, so I don't want to miss it! The second thing, I take these black-clothed guards behind me, waiting to collect the bodies of some of you unlucky ghosts, and by the way, take away all the participants in the bloody case according to the rules of the court!"
"Mo Bai, what do you mean by that?" Tang Ruoxi asked in a cold voice.
"Don't you understand?" Mo Bai sneered and asked, "The number one taboo in the academy is murder, and looking at your pomp and circumstance today, it seems that it is difficult not to cause trouble, and my black-clothed guard doesn't want to arrest people one by one alone in the future." So while you're all here today, I'll bring someone here to wait for you, and once I find out that someone is dead, then I can take someone to do something!"
Mo Bai's words are here, in fact, everyone has already understood, the black-clothed guards are here today to see whether the excitement is fake, and the supervision is true! The duty of the black-clothed guards is to ensure that no one in the academy violates the rules of the academy, so Mo Bai is here today in person to warn everyone present today with practical actions not to violate the rules of the academy.
Don't look at Mo Bai's words lightly, but once someone really dies, the black-clothed guard will also be responsible, so Mo Bai will come here in advance today! Everyone understands that as long as he is there, if these major forces want to fight happily today, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
At this moment, Mu Ming's face looked particularly ugly, and the appearance of the black-clothed guard was also something he didn't expect.
And then contrary to Mu Ming's reaction, Lu Yifan had an indifferent look that he had expected at this time, long before he fought with Lin Hu yesterday, Wu Yue, the seventh captain of the black-clothed guard, had already visited him.
"The black-clothed guard is standing here, how can he fight?" Qin Qingyu said rather annoyedly.
In fact, there are not many people who have the same mentality as Qin Qingyu now, and the black-clothed guard is actually a shadow that cannot be erased from the heart for most of the students in the academy.
"Second brother, the black-clothed guards are here, if something really happens, then the first one to ask for the blame must be our Qingmen, because we are the initiators of this matter!" Cheng Yi reminded in a low voice.
"Ruoxi, what do you think?" Han Cheng actually didn't want to really fight for Lu Yifan and Qingmen, just now it was just for Tang Ruoxi to stand up, and seeing that things had taken a turn for the better at this moment, he naturally retreated as soon as he could.
"I ......" Tang Ruoxi actually has her own plans, she has long been ordered by Yan Shuang to protect Lu Yifan, but she can't completely turn the spearhead to herself, so in fact, she was also in a dilemma just now, and now the appearance of the black-clothed guard is undoubtedly a lifesaver for Tang Ruoxi, I saw Tang Ruoxi's eyes rolling slightly, and she quickly thought about something in her mind, and after a while, a very vague look of relief suddenly flashed on her face," Mu Ming, the black-clothed guard is here, I advise you to think about the hundreds of disciples of the Qingmen, or don't fight with us!"
Tang Ruoxi's words were extremely vague, she just said not to fight with us, but she did not take the initiative to persuade Mu Ming to evacuate.
"What are you doing to be my Qingmen? If I don't make a break with Lu Yifan today, will my Qingmen still have face to talk about in the future?" Mu Ming said through gritted teeth.
"Since you insist on making a break with Lu Yifan, how about we each take a step back?" Tang Ruoxi said.
"How to back down?" Mu Ming seemed to be aroused.
"Without a large-scale scuffle, there will be no accidental injury to people's lives!" Tang Ruoxi said lightly, "Since you insist on Lu Yifan, it is better for you and Lu Yifan to solve this matter one-on-one, just like Lin Hu and Lu Yifan yesterday, how about it?"
As soon as Tang Ruoxi said this, everyone's faces instantly became exciting, but Ji Yuan, Lu Jun and the others all had anxious looks on their faces, while Han Cheng and Qin Qingyu were obviously relieved, and Mo Bai was slightly twitching the corners of his mouth a few times, as if he had let out a sneer.
Looking at Mu Ming again, after he heard Tang Ruoxi's suggestion, his two terrifying eyes suddenly became violent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared straight at Tang Ruoxi without moving.
After staring at each other for a moment, the corners of Mu Ming's mouth suddenly rose upward, and finally revealed a bloodthirsty smile that was almost crazy.
"Good! very good!" Mu Ming said word by word, "Lu Yifan, do you have the courage to fight alone with me?"
"Yifan, don't promise him!" Han Ling'er couldn't hold back the worry in his heart at this moment, and shouted loudly, "Mu Ming is a madman, a very powerful madman, you will definitely suffer a loss if you fight him! Even if he doesn't kill you, he will do everything possible to seriously hurt you!" After Han Ling'er finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Tang Ruoxi, and shouted angrily again, "Tang Ruoxi, what kind of heart do you have? If you want to help, you can help, or you won't help, why do you want to hurt him like this?"
Lu Yifan glanced at Han Ling'er gratefully, stretched out his hand and waved lightly at Han Linger, as if to reassure Han Ling'er, and then before Ji Yuan and the others could dissuade him, his gaze fell directly on Tang Ruoxi's body, and at this moment, Tang Ruoxi also turned his gaze to Lu Yifan.
"Yifan......" Tang Ruoxi's voice became extremely soft at this moment, and her voice was very low, so low that almost only she and Lu Yifan could hear it, "Do you remember what we discussed at the beginning?"
"Remember!" Lu Yifan nodded with a faint smile, "I have to deal with Mu Ming alone, and I have to hit him hard, only in this way can I lead Liu Qing and ......"
Lu Yifan's words didn't go on, but Tang Ruoxi already knew the name of the person Lu Yifan was going to say later, which was "Qiu Qiong"! Today's move by Tang Ruoxi was actually their initial plan.
"Yifan, will you blame me like Miss Han?" Tang Ruoxi looked at Lu Yifan deeply and asked softly.
Lu Yifan smiled and shook his head, he slowly walked forward, and when he walked to Tang Ruoxi's side, Lu Yifan's lips were gently close to Tang Ruoxi's ear, and such an ambiguous action suddenly caused a burst of exclamations from everyone around.
"Ruoxi, I know how much you have paid for me, thank you for helping me realize my wish step by step, thank you for doing your best to help me deal with Qingmen, and thank you for enduring the humiliation today, and pulling the situation that was supposed to change back into our previous plan, for my business, you have done enough. I ......" Lu Yifan's words came to an abrupt end here, and Tang Ruoxi, on the other hand, was already crimson at this moment, "I will try to live up to your good intentions, even if I fight to defeat both sides, I will hit Mu Ming hard, let us continue the plan that has finally reached this point, thank you...... Thank you so much......"
When Lu Yifan finished saying this, he didn't notice at all that at this moment, Tang Ruoxi's eyes were already overflowing with tears at some point, and the crystal tears swirled in Tang Ruoxi's moving eyes, but she stubbornly endured it and didn't fall.
"Yifan...... I ......" Tang Ruoxi wanted to speak several times and stopped.
In Tang Ruoxi's tears today, there are feelings, unbearable, grievances, and a touch of guilt.
It's a pity that at this moment, Lu Yifan had already stretched out his hand to push Tang Ruoxi away, and walked towards Mu Ming, his eyes were full of strong battle intent.
"I know that I am inferior to you in terms of strength, but I am really curious about what kind of ruthless character the legendary "Mu Maniac" is!"
In the face of Lu Yifan's provocation, the smile on Mu Ming's face became more and more hideous, more brilliant, and more bloodthirsty.
"The first place in the Sanctuary Heavenly Grace Competition, you are the most famous one among the opponents I have ever fought against, and the one I want to abolish the most!"
