Chapter Twenty-Nine: Firm Faith
"Please!" Shen Ming turned to look at Jian Xin, casting an eager gaze at him, and a glimmer of hope swept in his heart.
"Three months later, the state owners of the major states will hold a youth fighting competition, all young men can participate, and the top ones will have rich prizes, among which your Dongzhou state owners have set up awards, and the second place will receive a thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum and a thousand years of ginseng, which may be an opportunity for you." Jian Xin revealed to Shen Ming in advance.
"Youth Tournament ......"
Shen Ming thought for a moment, there should be young masters from various cities participating in the competition, they are either from famous families, or relatives of the emperor, or even disciples of many sects, compared to themselves, they seem insignificant.
But this is his only chance, no matter how difficult the game is, he must get those two herbs and repair Li Xiao's dantian, otherwise guilt will torment him for the rest of his life.
"Thanks for the pointers." Shen Ming hugged his fists and thanked him, secretly determined, I must win the second place.
"It's a trivial matter, but then again, how can a martial arts wizard like you be in the Nirvana Sect, this young master has investigated, the background of your Nirvana Sect is simply beyond my expectations, there are no cultivation conditions, it is shabby, and there are only two or three hundred disciples."
"And all of them have mediocre qualifications, and there are even fewer disciples in the Qi Refining Realm, with your qualifications, staying in such a sect will only slow down your cultivation speed."
"In contrast, the Sword Fighting Sect has abundant resources, I don't know how many cultivators dream of it, now that this young master sincerely invites you to join the Sword Fighting Sect, we will not only let your cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, but you can also enjoy glory and wealth, and even be sought after by tens of thousands of people, I don't know what you think?" Jian Xin sent out an invitation, looking solemn.
If it is heard by others, it will definitely be envious and jealous, it is like pie in the sky, it is such an honor to be invited by the young master of the Sword Fighting Sect to join without assessment, but these are only for geniuses.
Jian Xin bluntly said that the Nirvana Sect was shabby, Shen Ming was irrefutable, after all, this was the truth, but for the invitation thrown by Jian Xin, he firmly refused:
"Thank you for the kindness of the young master, but I will never turn my back on the sect, you are right, the Nirvana Sect is indeed an insignificant small sect, but it is kind to me and takes good care of me, although I am not a saint who is indifferent to fame and fortune, but I know that I can't forget my roots, if I don't even know where my roots are, how can I gain a foothold?"
"If I abandon it because of the poor sect, and one day the Sword Fighting Sect declines, then I will also abandon it."
"Such a person, do you Sword Fighting Sect dare to accept it?"
"And the Nirvana Sect is not nothing, and we, whether it is ten years or twenty years, or even longer, as long as we stick to it and continue to work hard, who can deny that we will not be famous in the future?"
Shen Ming's firm belief made Jian Xin feel inspired, and his eyes revealed a hint of admiration.
"You kid is really arrogant, but what you said makes sense, since you don't want to join, I won't force it anymore, after all, what you force to come never belongs to you, it's getting late, you just stay in the house."
"Then thank you, young master." Shen Ming hugged his fists and thanked him.
Jian Xin waved his hand, looked at Li Xiao, and smiled lightly: "Brother, when are you going to pretend to sleep?" ”
When Shen Ming heard this, he was suddenly startled, turned his head to look at Li Xiao, and sure enough, after Li Xiao was recognized by Jian Xin, he gradually opened his eyes, sat up straight, and no longer continued to pretend to be asleep.
"Senior brother, when did you wake up?" Shen Ming was surprised, he didn't even notice that he was actually pretending to be asleep.
"When you carry me out of the forest." Li Xiao smiled, and then stood up from his chair.
"I'm sorry brother, I ......"
Before Shen Ming could finish speaking, Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder, showed a relieved smile, and reassured:
"Senior brother is fine, don't blame yourself, it's better to break the dantian than to die, besides, you have decided to participate in the Youth Fighting Competition, so I believe that the dantian can be repaired, senior brother is waiting for you to return triumphantly in the sect, this is also a rare experience for you, don't let me down."
In his words, Li Xiao fully trusted Shen Ming, and when he heard Shen Ming's resolute rejection of Jian Xin's kindness, he was even more convinced that he had not seen the wrong person, and he would not have cultivated in vain.
"Definitely!" Shen Ming replied firmly, and was comforted by his senior brother, and the guilt in his heart was gradually relieved.
"Xiao Li, arrange two rooms for them."
Jian Xin said to the male servant beside him.
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
The male servant bowed, then walked towards Shen Ming and said, "Both, come with me." ”
Afterwards, Shen Ming and Li Xiao followed the male servant out of the hall, and the disciples of the Nirvana Sect who were waiting outside the door were curious and couldn't help but step forward to inquire about the situation.
"Senior Brother Li Xiao, why did you come here?"
"Senior brother, were you unconscious just now, how did you let Shen Ming carry it, did you get injured somewhere?"
"Nonsense, you don't know what strength Senior Brother Li Xiao has, how could he be injured?!"
"That is, how could Senior Brother be injured, but why would Shen Ming carry you, is it difficult to ......?"
……
Shen Ming and Li Xiao were so confused by the question that they couldn't answer, and it wasn't until Shen Xue came from the crowd that the disciples stopped making noise and gave way one after another.
Seeing Shen Xue walking in front of Shen Ming, Shen Ming suddenly felt a coldness in his heart, revealing an embarrassed smile.
"Senior sister, I haven't seen you for two days, like two autumns."
"Stinky boy, where have you been in the past two days, why can't I see you, didn't you say that you would be the personal attendant of the lord of the house for three days?"
"And this self-righteous guy, why did he come here, I heard that he was still carried by you, what's the matter, quickly recruit the senior sister truthfully!"
Shen Xue asked aggressively, and the disciples were also very gossipy, casting curious glances at the two of them.
"Senior sister, let this little brother arrange a room for us first, if you have any questions, let's ask later."
Li Xiao said with a smile and touched Shen Ming's arm.
Shen Ming immediately chimed in, "Senior brother is right, senior sister, we haven't had dinner yet, you go and get us something to eat, otherwise we will be too hungry to answer." ”
"Yes, junior sister, I'm sorry for you."
"Little brother, let's go."
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, they immediately followed the male servant and left quickly, and the disciples looked at them quietly, Shen Xue was stunned in place, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled with anger.
"I heard it right just now, that stinky boy is actually teaching me to do things, it's really no big or small, hum!"
Shen Xue turned to look at their backs, as if they were getting a little closer, and suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling that their relationship seemed to have become harmonious, which was really strange.
"There's nothing to see, it's all gone, I still have to work tomorrow, rest early, do you hear!"
"Yes!"
Shen Xue gave an order, and everyone hurriedly dispersed.
Then, seeing Shen Xue walking towards the dining hall and preparing dinner for the two guys, he couldn't help muttering when he was eating:
"Stinky boy, let me cook for you, then give you more food, see if I don't kill you!"
