Chapter 82: The Banquet
Yun Linglong looked at the young man in front of her who looked unfamiliar, but gave her a familiar atmosphere, and decided that it was Zhou Zhen in her heart.
Zhou Zhen is Li Zhen's name that deceived the other party and made up at will.
Li Zhen was very happy to see her, this happiness was subconsciously happy, and it was also a long-awaited happiness.
Since the two separated, Li Zhen has been looking forward to seeing each other again.
"It's me!"
Li Zhen replied subconsciously.
After Yun Linglong got the answer, she was also very happy.
There are many people here, and it is not suitable for talking and reminiscing, Li Zhen wants to be alone with the other party, so he pulls up the other party's Qianqianyu hand, which is tender to the touch.
Li Zhen's actions were very out of line, Yun Linglong didn't expect it at all, but she didn't break free, but let Li Zhen pull her out of the square and go to a secluded place in surprise.
In the crowd in the distance, an old man raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Yun Linglong did not refuse, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise and curiosity.
Li Zhen took the other party to a secluded grove, and immediately realized that it was very inappropriate to hold each other, although the two had worked together, but it didn't seem to have reached the point where they could hold hands.
"I ...... I'm not intentional...... Don't you be angry...... I ......"
Seeing Li Zhen's overwhelmed appearance, Yun Linglong covered her mouth and chuckled for a while, and said, "You don't have to explain, I don't blame you." ”
When Li Zhen heard this, he smiled to cover up his embarrassment, thinking that he was still wearing a mask, and there was no one around at this time, so he took off the 'Thousand Faces' and asked, "You are not from Huaguo, why did you come here?" ”
Yun Linglong also took off her veil, Li Zhen stared at her face, although she hadn't seen each other for a long time, she felt that the two were separated as if it was yesterday.
"I'm here...... I'm here to see the excitement, Tianchen will be such a grand conference, of course I want to come to see it. ”
Yun Linglong said a little bit of a thief, and Li Zhen was a little disappointed when she heard this.
"You're here to join in the fun, too?"
Yun Linglong asked.
"That's right! I'm also here to see the fun. ”
Li Zhen responded.
"Your strength is outstanding in the same realm, it's a pity not to participate."
When the two met, Li Zhen was only in the Hundred Trick Realm, but at that time, he had already shown strong combat power, according to Yun Linglong's opinion, even if he couldn't beat the True Yuan Realm, he was definitely invincible in the Hundred Trick Realm.
"I was willing to participate, but it was delayed because of some things." Li Zhen explained, and then asked, "Have you been promoted to the True Yuan Realm?" ”
At the beginning, Yun Linglong and the same door went to Cangmang Mountain in order to promote the True Yuan Realm, but now that a long time has passed, I don't know if I got my wish.
Both of them hid their cultivation and couldn't see the level of strength.
Yun Linglong nodded and thanked: "I have stepped into the True Yuan Realm, and I want to thank you for your help, without you, I want to step into the True Yuan Realm not so smoothly." ”
"Don't say that, we cooperate with each other, and no one helps anyone."
The two talked for a long time, chatting about some unnutritious words, in fact, Li Zhen wanted to take this opportunity to confess some things, but just as he was about to inform the other party, there was a sound of conversation not far away, causing him to swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and at the same time regretted the decision he had made before.
"Senior sister! I heard that Master is going to marry you to Li Zhen, the Thirteenth Prince, and you have agreed, is this true?! ”
"That's right!"
"You must be unwilling, are you? In that case, why do you agree, as long as you refuse, Master will definitely not force you. ”
"I ...... I...... I will do whatever Master tells me to do. ”
Meng Bingqi hesitated.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to disobey the teacher's fate.
Meng Bingqi's senior sister wanted to say something, but in the end, all the words she wanted to say turned into a long sigh, and then the two left and walked into the distance.
Li Zhen was very embarrassed on the spot, it was obviously not the right time for him to reveal his identity at this time.
It stands to reason that he and Yun Linglong are just ordinary friends, and they shouldn't have any scruples, unless Li Zhen has other thoughts about Yun Linglong.
When Yun Linglong heard the words of Meng Bingqi and Senior Sister, her expression was also unnatural for a moment, but she recovered quickly, so she was not noticed by Li Zhen
After all, Li Zhen at this time was already a little 'self-sufficient'.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Yun Linglong said with an expectant expression.
"Hmm...... I want to say that I suddenly remembered that there was something important to deal with, so I said goodbye first, hoping that the girl would not be surprised. ”
At this moment, Li Zhen was very nervous, and even a little scared, wanting to escape.
This is completely inconsistent with his style of doing things.
Act decisively and dare to act, this is Li Zhen.
Yun Linglong showed a disappointed expression, I don't know if it was a pity that they separated when they first met, or a disappointment that Li Zhen didn't tell the truth, but no matter what, Yun Linglong showed a down-to-earth and generous side, and said: "That's a pity, but it's important to get down to business, let's meet again." ”
"You're leaving?!"
Li Zhen heard the meaning of the words, frowned and asked.
"Hmmm! It's been a long time since I've been away from home, and I'm going home today. ”
Yun Linglong replied.
Li Zhen wants to stop it, but for what reason?
The two weren't too acquainted.
"Good! Then be careful all the way, and see you soon. ”
Li Zhen's mentality at this time was already messed up.
The two met in surprise, but parted in embarrassment and reluctance.
Yun Linglong looked at Li Zhen's distant back, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and a little angry.
Before she knew it, an old man appeared beside her, silent, only companionship.
"There's a stone in my heart that makes me feel so uncomfortable."
Yun Linglong spoke, as if talking to herself, and as if she was talking to the old man.
The old man is a person who has come over, and she doesn't understand the trick of this, but she can't do anything about this kind of thing, and even if she has the ability, she can't help.
After all, the two are people of two worlds, and it may be the best result to say goodbye and have nothing to do with each other from now on.
"Why don't we go back?"
The old man whispered, as if he was afraid that being louder would hurt Yun Linglong.
"I want to wait."
Yun Linglong said that she wanted to go home before, but now she has to wait, but after a short time after the words fell, she changed her mind and said, "Let's go!" Staying anyway is just a waste of time. ”
When the old man heard this, he sighed distressedly, and then followed behind Yun Linglong and went down the mountain.
···········································
Li Zhen was very confused at this time, and he was no longer in the mood to watch today's finals, wandering aimlessly, quite lost his soul.
"What's wrong with me? Why is this so? Could it be ............?"
Li Zhen didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Yun Linglong had unconsciously made him unable to let go.
He admitted that he had a good impression of Yun Linglong in Cangmang Mountain before, but that was all, but when he met today, his feelings for her suddenly exploded.
In fact, since the separation of the two Cangmang Mountain, Yun Linglong has lingered in his heart, but he has never been willing to face it.
"If there is fate, you and I will see each other again, and then I will show my heart, if you marry or never see each other again, it means that there is no fate, and that's it."
Li Zhen adjusted his mentality, and his eyes gradually became resolute.
At the moment, revenge for the mother is the top priority, and everything else has to stand aside.
Li Zhen recovered, looked calm, took the 'Thousand Faces', turned around and walked towards the game site, and when he came to the scene, he happened to see Wu Zhen knocking his opponent out of the ring.
When Li Zhen saw the person who fell out of the ring, he raised his eyebrows and said secretly: "I didn't expect him to take the first place in the conference." ’
The person who fell out of the ring was the first disciple of Tianchen Sect, and Xiao Qian, the most powerful contender for the first place in the conference.
This person is a few years older than Wu Zheng, and he is the highest cultivator in the middle realm of the true yuan.
In previous years, the first place in the conference was won by Tianchen Sect, and Wu Zheng defeated Xiao Qian and broke the record, which is of great significance.
At this time, Wu Zheng can be described as infinitely beautiful, although the conference has not yet ended, but the biggest obstacle preventing him from winning the first place has been removed, and the first place is already in the bag.
It's just a pity that how beautiful he is now, how embarrassed he will be afterwards.
"Alas! Somehow, I really felt a little sorry for him. ”
On the spectator seat, Chen Qing looked at Wu Zheng and sighed.
Mu Wanjun said expressionlessly: "You can live if you do evil in heaven, you can't live if you do evil in yourself, you can't live if you do it yourself, it's just to blame, there is nothing to be pitied." ”
In Mu Wanjun's concept, hurting Li Zhen is an unforgivable crime.
"If it weren't for their narrow-mindedness and greed for power, they would have been the pillars of their own family."
Li Qingshan said very pertinently.
The race continued until the afternoon, when the rankings were distributed.
On the side of Qingyuanmen, Li Qingshan finally won the fifth place, which was considered to have met expectations, and Wu Zheng won the first place without any suspense.
At this conference, Qingyuanmen was in the limelight, many people regretted that Li Zhen did not participate in the competition, if Li Zhen also participated in the competition, at least one of the top five, so that the top ten Qingyuanmen occupied three seats, how much honor is this?
Although Li Zhen was missing, everyone present realized that Wu Zheng and Li Qingshan, as the younger generation, would inevitably lead Qingyuanmen to a higher level.
······································
On the evening of the end of the conference, Tianchen Sect held a grand banquet to entertain the guests.
Not everyone can participate in the banquet, some small sects and scattered cultivators have no chance, and they are arranged to go down the mountain early, and the rest of the sects are all the leading and faceless existences of Huaguo.
Li Zhen didn't attend the banquet, in his opinion, it was meaningless, it was better to retreat and practice at home, but during the banquet, his fiancée was targeted.
During the banquet, Wu Zheng was definitely the focus of the audience, and there was an endless stream of relationships, sets, and toasts.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, a slender figure came into view, which made Wu Zheng's eyes light up, revealing a look of obsession.
The woman who almost snatched his soul away was Meng Bingqi.
Meng Bingqi also participated in the competition, although she achieved good results, she did not rank in the top ten, which is also normal, after all, she only has a hundred peak cultivation, and the top ten are all True Yuan Realm.
At her age, it is not an exaggeration to call it a genius, but compared to her talent and strength, everyone pays more attention to her beauty.
Meng Bingqi rarely shows up when she walks outside, and most of her praise comes from within the Moon Worship Palace, which inevitably makes people a little suspicious. Of course, it's more of a curiosity, after all, the Moon Worship Palace is a women's sect, and it is rich in beauties, so how beautiful it should be to be praised by the entire Moon Worship Palace?
This time, Meng Bingqi participated in the conference, when everyone saw her, they were all shocked, and a group of young people were lost in their souls, especially her coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, which can stimulate men's desire to conquer.
Since the first day of the conference, there have been bold people who have confessed to pursue, and now there are more admirers than can be counted.
Wu Zheng is not as old-fashioned as ordinary suitors, in his opinion, it is completely useless to work Meng Bingqi's body, it is better to find an opportunity from the palace master of the Moon Worship Palace.
is the so-called life of parents, the words of matchmakers.
Wu Zheng's idea is not unintelligent, and he is ready to take advantage of the momentum of winning the first place to let his grandfather come forward to propose.
"She's Meng Bingqi?!"
Mu Wanjun looked at Meng Bingqi, who was isolated in the distance, and couldn't help but show a jealous expression.
The engagement between Li Zhen and Meng Bingqi has not spread, and it is now a matter of secrecy, but no matter how it is kept secret, some core personnel still know, such as Chen Qing and Li Qingshan.
Chen Qing was also fascinated by Meng Bingqi, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it's a great beauty!" This woman should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear about it in the world. ”
"You said that Li Zhen is so good-natured, and he married such a good daughter-in-law for nothing, it's really more popular than people!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Qingshan's face changed, and he stabbed him from behind.
"Oops! What are you doing? It hurts me to death. ”
Chen Qing was in pain, I don't know why, Li Qingshan hated it, glared at him fiercely, motioned for Mu Wanjun to be by his side, and closed the door with his mouth.
Chen Qing reacted at this time, and immediately looked at Mu Wanjun, only to see that Mu Wanjun was originally very happy, and his face immediately changed dramatically when he heard the words.
"What do you mean by that?!"
Mu Wanjun's eyes were red, and she said emotionally: "You said that the senior brother would marry her?" Why is that? And when did this happen? You already knew that you had been hiding it from me? ”
"Senior sister, you misunderstood, we ...... We ......"
"Senior sister! Don't get excited, this marriage is actually a political marriage, it can't be serious, you ............"
Chen Qing and Li Qingshan wanted to comfort Mu Wanjun, but Mu Wanjun said angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”
At this time, they were attending the banquet, there were many people around, Mu Wanjun's gaffe roared to attract everyone's attention, Chen Qing and Li Qingshan saw this, smiled awkwardly at everyone, and then pulled Mu Wanjun away and returned to the residence.
"Let me go! Make it clear to me! ”
Mu Wanjun was pulled back to the residence by Chen Qing and Li Qingshan, Mu Wanjun struggled and said angrily: "I'll go directly to my senior brother to ask for an understanding, I don't believe that senior brother is a person who is willing to give up his lifelong happiness for the sake of power." ”
If Li Zhen and Meng Bingqi are in love, Mu Wanjun may be able to accept it, but when she learned that this was a purely political marriage, she was very resistant.
In her mind, love is sacred and undefiled!
"Li Zhen is in retreat, don't disturb him, besides, this matter is not up to him, this is the arrangement of the elders, and he also has difficulties."
Chen Qing comforted, hoping that Mu Wanjun could calm down.
