Chapter 323: The Second Competition
When I woke up, it was already early in the morning, and even Fu Tao had not returned yet, thinking that he was dragged by the troubles of the Xuanxing Sect.
Lu Yanqing was helpless, it seemed that he couldn't escape the competition with Zhong Zhengyuan's disciples after all.
After sobering up for a while, Lu Yanqing dressed and washed, and went to the dining room to prepare breakfast as usual.
At this moment, there is still plenty of time, Lu Yanqing in order to replenish his body for Kong Mingwu, who was trying his best yesterday, so he boiled a pot of chicken soup, which also added some wolfberry, red dates, codonopsis and other medicinal materials, all of which are beneficial to the recovery of the body.
When Lu Yanqing stewed chicken soup and returned to the small courtyard, he saw that Zu Hongqiu and the others were already sitting at the stone table and talking happily.
At this time, although Kong Mingwu's face was slightly pale, his demeanor was relatively relaxed.
After all, the competition that was bound to lose was forced into a draw by Kong Mingwu, which naturally lightened Kong Mingwu's psychological pressure a lot.
In addition, Kong Mingwu is also very confident in Lu Yanqing, and a sword comparable to the full blow of a seven-rank cultivator has made Kong Mingwu remember it vividly.
Seeing Lu Yanqing coming, Li Hanqing greeted him and said, "Boy, what is delicious to cook today?" ”
After getting along for the past few days, Li Hanqing and Li Biyun have learned to come uninvited, and both of them are obviously deeply impressed by Lu Yanqing's cooking skills.
As the saying goes: the people take food as the sky, as long as they have not become immortals, this meal must be eaten.
Although the higher the cultivation level, the less demanding they are, it can only be said that they have not eaten the food made by Lu Yanqing.
Compared with eating those bland and tasteless dishes, just to fill your stomach, it is indeed better to eat some delicious dishes to make your mood more happy, and it can also make the originally peaceful life have a little hope.
Lu Yanqing put a pot of chicken soup directly on the table, accompanied by oil cakes and small pickles.
This chicken soup is mellow and rich, and contains a faint medicinal fragrance, which has a unique flavor.
Paired with oil cakes and pickles, it is a match made in heaven, and everyone can't help but praise it again and again.
"Lu Rusheng, you only need to do your best on the premise of ensuring your own safety in the competition, you have done enough to our Martial Sect, otherwise I will really not go."
Although Kong Mingwu very much expected Lu Yanqing to do his best to win this competition, but after thinking about it, his request was really a bit excessive, no matter how Lu Yanqing was just a guest entrusted by the Venerable Wu, it was obviously unreasonable to let Lu Yanqing compete with Xuanxing Sect regardless of his own safety for the sake of the Wuzong Emperor.
Lu Yanqing bowed slightly when he heard this: "Don't worry, Sect Master Kong, I will weigh it myself." ”
For this competition, Lu Yanqing is not very optimistic.
After all, the opposite side is the Xuanxing Sect who is good at divination, maybe Zhong Zhengyuan has expected that he will help the Wuzong fight, then he will definitely send a disciple with extremely strong cultivation to compete with him, who says who will win, it is really uncertain.
Choosing between the position of the top ten sects of the Martial Sect and his own safety, Lu Yanqing would naturally choose to take care of his comfort without hesitation.
After all, even if the Martial Sect loses its position among the top ten sects, there is a way out to be found.
The reason why Kong Mingwu was stuck in the eighth rank for a long time and couldn't be promoted was most likely because the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, and Kong Mingwu's cultivation talent could not be questioned because of this.
With Kong Mingwu's momentum, it is still possible to break through the Nine Rank of Xuan, after all, Kong Mingwu is better than the previous sect master of the Martial Sect, all he needs is time to catch up.
If these ten sect councils could be extended for five years, the Martial Sect would definitely not face such a dilemma.
As long as Kong Mingwu can grow up, it will not be difficult to regain the position of the top ten sects at that time, so there is no need for Lu Yanqing to fight hard with the other party because of this, just do his best and have a clear conscience.
As the bell rang with a "clang", Lu Yanqing and his party got up and walked towards the hall.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw that all the sect masters of the other sects had already arrived.
It's not that Lu Yanqing and a few people are slow, it's just that the small courtyard where Lu Yanqing and a few people are located is relatively remote, so it takes a little more time to get to this hall.
"Yo, Sect Master Kong, why didn't the apprentice from your Martial Sect come to participate in the competition? You won't just give up, will you? ”
Seeing that there were no faces in Lu Yanqing and his party that he had never seen, Qin Hongxuan asked out with a little meaning.
Kong Mingwu just snorted coldly and ignored Qin Hongxuan, and sat straight to his place, while Lu Yanqing stood behind Kong Mingwu.
Seeing this, everyone frowned, and Wu Mingzhuo also saw the strangeness of Lu Yanqing's behavior, but he was not surprised by this, because all this was expected by himself.
He could not be more clear about the internal situation of the Martial Sect, because the only fifth-rank cultivator in the Martial Sect was the spy installed by Wu Mingzhuo.
Since Kong Mingwu did not call him to participate in the competition, it means that there is another person who came to participate in the competition, and this person is naturally more likely to be Lu Yanqing.
Despite this, Wu Mingzhuo did not plan to let Lu Yanqing participate in the competition easily, after all, this competition cannot invite foreign aid, and once it is found, it will be directly judged.
Kong Mingwu and the others were not stupid, obviously they found a good excuse for Lu Yanqing to reasonably participate in the competition, but this still did not prevent Wu Mingzhuo from disgusting Kong Mingwu.
"Sect Master Kong, you don't want this foreign aid to participate in the competition, do you?"
Everyone had the same guess as Wu Mingzhuo, and they all looked at Kong Mingwu, waiting for Kong Mingwu's explanation.
Kong Mingwu did not have stage fright because of Wu Mingzhuo's questioning, and this psychological quality is still there.
"Lu Rusheng is a disciple of the ancestor Emperor Wu, so he can naturally be regarded as a disciple of my Wuzong Sect, where did he come from."
"Ridiculous!" Qin Hongxuan retorted loudly: "When did Venerable Martial Arts take him as an apprentice? You can't just say it with one mouth! ”
Without waiting for Kong Mingwu to speak, Lu Yanqing spoke on his own: "When I obtained the inheritance of the Venerable Martial Arts, I was fortunate enough to see a wisp of the remnant soul of the Venerable Martial Arts, and he personally said that he would accept me as an apprentice, and I also got the inheritance of the Venerable Martial Arts, what is the problem with me saying that I am a disciple of the Martial Venerable?" ”
"Hmph, do you have any evidence without evidence?" Qin Hongxuan asked sharply.
Lu Yanqing sneered: "There is no evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that Venerable Martial Arts confiscated me as an apprentice?" Otherwise, I'll give you a ride down and ask Venerable Martial Arts? ”
"You ......"
Compared with his mouth, Lu Yanqing was really not afraid, these ancient people were not Lu Yanqing's opponents at all, and Qin Hongxuan was dumbfounded in just a few words.
Seeing this, Li Jianfu groaned for a while, and then stopped him in a loud voice: "Regardless of whether or not Venerable Martial Arts has accepted Lu Yanqing as a disciple, but after all, Lu Rusheng has obtained the inheritance of Venerable Martial Arts, and it is natural to call himself a disciple of Venerable Martial Arts, so Lu Rusheng is qualified to participate in this competition." ”
