Chapter 13 Blooming
These days, Chen Man has never given up the study of the Yellow Book, and he has tried all the methods he can, but this book is like a stone in a pit, what should it be like or what it should be.
According to the unwritten rules of the Refining Sect, outer disciples can live in the North Courtyard, which stands out from the crowd, but Chen Man didn't want to see Li Qing and his people when he left, and secondly, when he left the South Courtyard, only He Manzi lived alone, so he still lived in the South Courtyard, and no one broke his mouth on this matter.
Because Chen Man is already an outer disciple, He Dali only cuts down ten trees these days, which is as easy as playing for this naturally strong barbarian.
Chen Man had locked himself in the house for several days in a row, and Zhengtian couldn't get along with two books, one was the yellow book obtained from the Treasure Pavilion, and the other was the King Kong recipe that everyone in the Refining Sect had in their hands.
When he was painstakingly looking for the Golden House and Yan Ruyu in the book, He Dali repeatedly studied the moves of Xingyi Fist in the courtyard, and the southern courtyard has been so plain and insipid these days.
At this time, it was no exception, Chen Man was holding a copy of the King Kong Recipe while watching, while regulating the flow of qi in his body, but suddenly there was a lot of movement outside the door, and there was a miserable scream.
"Bastard, you're looking for death!"
Li Qing scolded He Dali, who was kicked and fell to the ground by him, and raised his hand to condense a fireball, and there was still a person standing beside him, who just watched coldly from beginning to end without saying a word.
This matter was only because He Dali was practicing boxing in the courtyard just now, Li Qing took the stranger and pushed the door in, and was about to enter the house to find Chen Man without saying hello, He Dali didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly pounced on a tiger, and smashed another fist into Li Qing's chest.
Li Qing didn't expect He Dali to be so arrogant, and he didn't feel good after receiving one of the moves in the Five Elements Fist, not to mention that this punch was quite a master of the Xuanmen Realm, and he didn't move his aura to use his physical strength alone.
This is the scene where Li Qing was annoyed and embarrassed, kicked He Dali and used the fireball technique.
He Dali has rough skin and thick meat, and being kicked by Li Qing seems to be seriously injured, but in fact, it is not a big problem, but if the fireball technique used by the powerhouse of the Gathering Spirit Period is hit on his body, no one knows what will happen, after all, this barbarian just has an empty skin of the Xuanmen Realm, and the sea of qi is completely dry.
Seeing that the fireball in Li Qing's palm was about to come out of his hand, a figure suddenly swept out of the cabin where the three of them once lived together, and Chen Manren shouted before he arrived, "Stop!"
Late.
When Chen Man stood in front of He Dali, Li Qing even had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he threw out the fireball in his hand without hesitation, while the person next to him remained silent.
Li Qing was originally full of confidence thinking that he could teach Chen Man a lesson, in his opinion, Chen Man entered the Gathering Spirit Period later than himself, and the majesty of the aura in his body was naturally inferior to himself, but when the two fireballs from different directions met in the air, Li Qing frowned and realized that he was wrong.
The unknown man standing next to Li Qing had an expression change on his face for the first time since he walked into the South Courtyard, and when he saw the two fireballs canceling each other out in the air, there was a smile on his face.
The smile was a little contemptuous, and the mockery was undisguised, as if an adult man was watching two ignorant children fight.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Man turned around and looked at He Dali's injuries while glancing at Li Qing out of the corner of his eye, and asked in a tone that was not at all kind.
Li Qing did not answer Chen Man's question, but took a step back, turned his head and smiled flatteringly at the man beside him, and scolded Chen Man again when the other party didn't like him at all, "Chen Man, you are such a big shelf, you haven't come to see Senior Brother Wang Yong!"
Now Chen Man already has the strength of the Gathering Spirit Period, and he also has a Xuanwu scale armor by his side, and he is not afraid of Li Qing, but when he learned that the person next to Li Qing was named Wang Yong, Chen Man's pupils subconsciously contracted.
In the past few days, after Chen Man was promoted to an outer disciple, he had heard a lot of gossip, for example, the first person among the outer disciples of the Refining Sect was called Wang Yong.
Although the time in Heifeng Village was short, Chen Man had already been polished and was well versed in the way of life, and he gave a meticulous salute to Wang Yong at the moment, and said without humility or arrogance, "I've seen Senior Brother Wang." ”
At this moment, He Dali has been helped up by Chen Man, this guy is still as unenlightened as ever, and he doesn't know how to judge the situation, and he always stands behind Chen Man and glares at Li Qing angrily.
Wang Yong didn't care about this, but when his eyes fell on Chen Man, the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little thicker, "You are Chen Man, yes, I heard that you once defeated the outer disciples in the square as a fire boy, but is there such a thing?"
Although Chen Man was very disdainful of Wang Yong's knowingly questioning behavior, he still said: "It's just a fluke, I don't know what senior brother is doing here today." ”
Li Qing was not angry at the conversation between the two, intentionally or unintentionally, he excluded himself, and he still had that groveling and flattering posture, making a dog-legged image in front of Wang Yong.
"I'm here to tell you two things, first, the sect has a task that all the outer disciples need to do, and when you receive the notice, you should immediately go to the square to meet, and there must be no mistake. Second, Wang Yuan is my younger brother, you embarrassed him in public, I should help him get it back this time, but not today. ”
After a while, Wang Yong said to Chen Man, when he said the last word, although there was no aura on this person's body, and there was no undercurrent of qi in his body, it gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
The words have been brought, Wang Yong didn't want to stay in the South Courtyard for a moment, so he turned around and walked out of the door, without him saying anything or doing anything, Li Qing naturally followed behind with a smile, and didn't look at Chen Man and He Dali.
After they left the South Courtyard, Chen Man smiled at He Dali and asked, "You're not injured, are you?"
He Dali shook his head in agreement, as if saying one more word could make him tired, and he really cherished words like gold.
Chen Man was about to speak just now, but he never thought that the southern courtyard, which was usually unattended, would be pushed open again, and the person who came in was also a friend of Chen Man, and he was not a stranger.
This person is the guy who took out a magic weapon cloth bag to receive Wang Yuan's pair of thunderbolt beads in the square that day, in a sense, he can be regarded as saving Chen Man once.
Although Chen Man didn't hate this person so much, he didn't have a good impression of it, and asked in a stiff tone at the moment: "What's the matter?"
He Manzi has been sent into the house by Chen Man, lest he give someone a punch without saying anything, and the other party can easily accept Wang Yuan's thunderbolt beads, and his strength is not bad, so he will suffer a loss.
The man didn't follow the master's will, he walked into the door by himself and walked to Chen Man's side, and a palm-sized cloth bag was held in his hand and played, "I didn't have time to introduce myself last time, my name is Xia Cheng." ”
Chen Man was shocked when he heard this, today he only knew the name of this person, and he was not unfamiliar with this name, the only second person among the outer disciples who was qualified to compete with Wang Yongyi seemed to be called Xia Cheng.
This Southern Courtyard, which is usually ignored and even Nangong Liuyun does not often haunt, has ushered in the visit of two "big shots" among the top disciples in the outer sect today.
Chen Man heard that this person was the second person of the outer disciple, that is, he did not bow his hand or nod and smile, he just stood quietly, as if waiting for Xia Cheng's words.
"I can tell you that this time all the outer disciples are gathered to go out of the mountain, because there is a demon on the eastern border of Liangguo, and there are the blood-winged bat king and the red and pink fox Mei'er who are in the limelight, maybe Wang will never make a move on you in the mission, but Li Qing and Wang Yuan are both small-bellied chicken intestines, and it is certain that they will stumble on you. ”
"Tell me why you deigned to come to this South Courtyard. Chen Man was not interested in the inside story of this mission, and when he arrived at the assembly place, there would be an elder to explain that he didn't want to listen to Xia Cheng's nonsense now.
Xia Cheng smiled lightly, unable to see whether he was in a good mood, "You behaved very well in the square that day, and I am very interested in you, so I want to invite you to join forces with us and take care of each other." ”
"You guys?" Chen Man found the key to his words and asked rhetorically with raised eyebrows.
"We. ”
Xia Cheng repeated in a firmer tone, "In addition to me, there are six senior brothers, all of whom have their own unique skills, counting you and me, there are a total of eight people, presumably the task can be completed faster." ”
Chen Man squinted his eyes and thought about it, he and Xia Cheng didn't have any bonds, and when Li Qing and Wang Yuan were provoking that day, Xia Cheng just stood together, and even saved Chen Man once inexplicably.
After weighing it in his heart, Chen Man slowly spoke, "If someone is looking for trouble with me openly and secretly, the seven of you will come forward to help me?"
Xia Cheng nodded without hesitation and agreed, "As long as Wang Yong doesn't make a move in person, and others provoke in the open, I will help you block it, but some conspiracies are unpredictable after all, maybe there will be times when we can't help, and you have to be careful yourself." ”
Chen Man was quite satisfied with Xia Cheng's promise, so he nodded and agreed to join his team, who knows what kind of stumbling block Wang Yuan and Li Qing will make to him, it is always good to have a second person from the outer door by his side.
In case Xia Cheng regrets it at that time, Chen Man also has the mentality of taking one step at a time, after all, there must be a road and a boat to the bridge before the car reaches the mountain.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the assembly place to meet the other six senior brothers. After Xia Cheng left a sentence for Chen Man, he turned around and walked out of the South Courtyard.
Chen Man looked down at his right hand wearing black fingerless gloves, and felt a little more confident out of thin air, only half a body behind Xia Cheng and followed him.
The two of them walked on the bluestone-paved mountain path, Chen Man seemed to be excited, and said something inconsequential, "Today, the first and second people from the outer gate have come to the South Courtyard, and they are all looking for me Chen Man, which really makes the South Courtyard shine, and Chen Man is also honored." ”
Xia Cheng walked in front and smiled slightly, but did not speak, his right hand was still playing with the seemingly ordinary cloth bag, as if he was ready to sacrifice it at any time.
