When I heard the sound of water in the house, I saw that I couldn't dodge it, so I called out anxiously.

"Senior Brother Feng...... Ahem...... Well, got it, I'll be right away!"

Zhang Lingyun habitually opened his mouth to shout, but stopped embarrassedly in the middle of speaking, thinking of his current identity, Zhang Lingyun was slightly depressed and casually perfunctory.

After a simple wash, Zhang Lingyun came to the room where he dined on weekdays, and saw that everyone was sitting neatly, and all kinds of early clothes did not move, as if he was waiting for himself, and suddenly became a little nervous.

"Did the little junior brother sleep well last night?"

"Okay, very good, thank you for your concern!"

No one had ever deliberately waited for him to open a meal, and he was so cared for by the Heavenly Master in vain, Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt flattered, and scratched his forehead very uncomfortably to hide his mood.

Zhang Lingyun, who instinctively walked to the disciple's seat, found that there were only three pairs of chopsticks corresponding to the number of people on the table.

On the dinner table of the Heavenly Master and others on the side, there was not only an extra vacant seat, but also a set of clean tableware, obviously prepared for himself, and the awkward feeling of entanglement in Zhang Lingyun's heart became more and more intense.

"Master, Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Little Uncle Dinner!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, Zhang Lingyun had to sit with the elders under pressure, but the ordinary greetings that followed almost made Zhang Lingyun run away.

"Your cultivation is worthy of this respect!"

After the second elder's inductive analysis and enlightenment, the head of the sect Zhang Shanxing has accepted the identity of Zhang Lingyun's junior brother, after all, there is a person behind him who is supported by the Crossing Monk, and he must not fall into the hands of other forces.

was originally a simple breakfast, but Zhang Lingyun was as difficult to swallow as chewing wax, but fortunately, everyone ate quickly, and Zhang Lingyun quickly got out of this embarrassing situation.

Due to the fact that the opponent of today's competitive match is the prince of Italy, the people of the Marquis of Andrey's Mansion did not send someone to pick it up like they did in the last battle in order to avoid suspicion.

"Fifth Senior Brother, didn't you ask you to find a good car in advance?"

"Brother Zhang, I ordered it yesterday, and at that time people also promised to be good, who knew that the coachman was not trustworthy and sat on the ground to increase the price, I ...... Alas!"

"Ling Yun can't be tired of picking up the beams today, rent him a carriage, how about we ride a horse?"

The resurrection match was not an informal competition, and the imperial court did not send an official car to pick up people, and the 'Zhengyi Sect' people, who had no one to take care of and did not have enough money, stood in front of the Anhua Temple in a daze in great embarrassment.

"Division...... Ahem...... Master Celestial, I think it's still early, let's go to the car shop on the corner together!"

"I'm going to go anyway, let's go together!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was still a little unaccustomed to changing his name, waved his hand and clenched his fist to salute lightly, and made suggestions to everyone.

When Zhang Shanxing recognized the opinion and took the lead in moving away, Zhang Lingyun waved his hand and grabbed the fifth elder Zhang Shanyi, who had a better relationship.

"Little junior brother, what's the matter?"

"This ...... You take it!"

Looking at Zhang Shanyi's face full of surprise, Zhang Lingyun did not rush to explain, and under the pretense of waving his hand, he gently twisted his fingers from the storage ring, pinched out a dozen tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets and handed them out.

"No, no, no, how can we always use your money! Alas......! It's all to blame on the elder brother who is short-tempered, and he lost 10,000 taels for breaking the teapot, otherwise he wouldn't have ......!"

"Everyone is a family, you are very polite to me! Quickly put it away, don't let passers-by see the joke!"

Since Zhang Lingyun came back, he has taken the initiative to subsidize the sect's expenses twice, and Zhang Shanyi was really embarrassed to accept it again, so he waved his hand again and again to refuse.

And Zhang Lingyun unexpectedly heard the misfortune of the Heavenly Master, looking at the disgusted expression of the five elders, he only felt that the money was well spent, so he bought it for himself and insisted on stuffing the silver ticket into the arms of the five elders.

Although there are luxurious carriages for dignitaries and nobles in the car dealership, they cannot be as comfortable as the Marquis of Andrey, with all kinds of delicacies on the cushioned pillows.

Even so, the crowd was happy that they didn't have to suffer from riding horses, and a crowd of people laughed and laughed on the road.

Coming to the 'Old Summer Palace' again, Zhang Lingyun no longer had the initial excitement, and his mind was full of all the information about the prince of Italy that Andre had given him.

Following in the footsteps of everyone, Zhang Lingyun always felt that there was something he had neglected.

It wasn't until his eyes swept over the waiter leading the way in front of him that Zhang Lingyun reacted, and he didn't see the familiar father-in-law along the way.

Everyone walked to a corner overgrown with trees, Zhang Lingyun flashed in vain and jumped over everyone, holding one hand against the neck of the waiter who led the way, with an inexplicable fierceness in his eyes.

"Ah......h

Because Zhang Lingyun was a little anxious, the little chamberlain who had seen his many methods during the war was controlled in vain, and he didn't even call for help.

I only felt that the whole person was spinning and weak for a while, and he was like a deflated ball, and he fell to the ground limply.

"Shhh......hhhh

Zhang Lingyun subconsciously made a silent action, and when he found that the other party had no idea of calling for help at all, Zhang Lingyun immediately expressed the question in his heart.

"Childe, don't hurt the slaves, the villains are old and young, and they all live on my money!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, friends, I'm a little worried about not having any news from him recently, you can take this little meaning first, it's all my gift of reparation!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was too anxious in his heart and had no rules in his actions, was awakened by his little father-in-law's words, and immediately retreated and stood up in a proper manner.

Zhang Lingyun took advantage of the movement of waving his hand into his arms, twisted his fingers, took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from the storage ring, and handed it over respectfully.

"This, this...... Alas, it is a pity that he can make a friend like you, and he is lucky for three lives! It's a pity that ......!"

Looking at the money that was equivalent to ten years of his own, the little father-in-law's eyes lit up, and the whole person jumped up as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, put away the arrears of the silver tickets, and leaned over to tell Zhang Lingyun about the secret affairs in the palace.

"Huh...... It's a shame that he died at such a young age!"

"He's not there, he doesn't have any friends in the palace, and he doesn't even have a single worshipper!"

As soon as the little father-in-law said this, the people of the 'Zhengyi Sect' who listened to the two of them not far away showed a look of disgust, and they were very disdainful of this eunuch's blatant bribery.

"Alas, I have a reluctant request below, please have time for my father-in-law to burn some ingots candles for my friend and worship them!"

"Oh! Childe is so righteous to his friend, how can I refuse! Don't worry, just leave this matter to me!"

Looking at the one hundred taels of silver tickets sent by the young man again, the happy mood of the little chamberlain soared into the sky, and even after starting to make up for the competition, he took the money and found an opportunity to quit his errand and return to his hometown.

"Little junior brother, the eunuch from before had an accident because he was close to you?"

"I'm not sure, I just hope that this little father-in-law can live forever!"

Looking at the little father-in-law's red face leading the way, Fifth Elder Zhang Shanyi slowed down and approached Zhang Lingyun, wanting to find out what this little junior brother was thinking.

But he didn't want Zhang Lingyun to give people a silver ticket, he was not simply exploring the whereabouts of his acquaintances, but he was still using this innocent person as bait.

"Little junior brother, that eunuch is also raised by his mother's biological parents, so he does this...... Wouldn't it be too despicable?"

"Fifth Elder, the one who achieves great things is not informal, and then he will talk about his life...... I paid for it, and of course, you can get that silver ticket back!"

At this moment, in the face of the five elders who showed kindness, Zhang Lingyun actually had a kind of vulture talking to the wolf, telling himself to be as funny as being a vegetarian.

Zhang Lingyun directly left a non-comment answer, and quickly caught up with the footsteps of the little chamberlain.

"This place is the Royal Forest Garden, if there are really people who can come and go freely, and kill like entering a no-man's land, then the emperor's life is in danger!"

"In this way, although the method is a little cruel, it is the fastest way to get the news, I think...... Nothing was too much trouble!"

The Fifth Elder, who had touched a gray nose, looked at Zhang Lingyun, who was now completely unobstructed, and felt as if he was pressing a big stone in his heart.

And the analysis and support of the senior brothers made Zhang Shanyi, who did not think about it so far-reaching, and had an urge to scold people.

"Let's go, let's go......!"

Zhang Shanyi, who was glaring angrily, swept his eyes over a few little disciples from time to time, wanting to find a little back to vent, but found that the group of little guys saw that the atmosphere was not right, and they had already run away.

Passing by the magnificent 'Western Building', it is a group of buildings built in the south of the Yangtze River.

The little father-in-law stopped in vain, waved his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and motioned for the spectators to go by themselves, and the three-story hall on the double-layered circular stone platform 'Siyongzhai'.

"Little junior brother, today's duel is hard for you!"

"Don't worry, I won't have an accident until I see that wave of wicked people!"

Seeing the worried look of the Sect Leader Heavenly Master, Zhang Lingyun was extremely unaccustomed to squeezing out a smile, turned around as if fleeing, and followed the attendant to the competition venue.

"Hmph! I don't know if the Italian people have a problem with their brains, last time it was clear that the group of Qing Dynasty people were all disabled, and they even took the initiative to ask the Qing Emperor to set another time!"

"Oh, it's not! I also heard that the prince of Nayi actually took the initiative to propose a one-on-one battle in order to show justice!"

"Yo he! I can really pretend, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and walk around then!"

“......”

In the three-story hall on the double-layered circular stone platform, Fanbang envoys dressed in traditional dresses of various countries sat in a circle, whispering and gossiping about all kinds of news they knew.

From a distance, it is very lively, and the giant light curtain still stands on the balcony across the water, making it possible to have a full view of the situation in the battlefield.

"Due to the uneven remaining teams in the competition due to unexpected accidents, among the teams that have now lost their qualifications for the competition, the best will be selected to win glory for the country.

Now I invite the representatives of Italy and the Qing Dynasty's 'Zhengyi Sect' to come out and play the second repechage match!"

Dressed in plain costumes, the chamberlain slowly stood on the edge of the round platform and recited the battle requirements aloud.

At the same time, Zhang Lingyun, who was led by the chamberlain, and a handsome man dressed in a white dark plain shirt, walked into the open field that had been restored one after another.

The man's momentum without anger, his long flowing hair, his strange dark blue eyes, and his burly figure are like a sculpture covered in ink, revealing his noble and elegant temperament all the time.

"You're the one who gets Andre's praise...... Zhang Lingyun?"

"Your Royal Highness Prince Sayali is courteous! Thank you for your understanding of our feelings and for coming to fight alone!"

His Royal Highness the Prince, who was already full of gloomy atmosphere, waited for Zhang Lingyun's words of thanks, and his mind kept flashing that Andre had been harassed sleeplessly for several days, only fighting alone.

His face changed suddenly, as if he had eaten a live fly, a combination of disgust and nausea.

Zhang Lingyun, who was dealt with by the other party with such an attitude, tried hard to recall every detail of his appearance so far, and did not find anything wrong, so he had to shrug his shoulders a little helplessly, waiting for the other party to take the initiative.

"Hmph, yes, it's ...... Good!!"

Looking at the other party's young man's relaxed attitude, Prince Sayali felt his strength and suffered from the other party's contempt and insult.

His Royal Highness the Prince snorted coldly, leaned forward with his knees slightly bent, and suddenly pulled out the silver sword studded with rubies at his waist, flipped his wrist and raised it to his chest, suddenly bursting out of the energy fluctuations around his body.

"Whoosh......!"

Layers of smoke and dust were lifted under Prince Selyali's feet, and the whole person suddenly rushed out, leaving an afterimage in the void like lightning, constantly approaching Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun, who had already memorized all the information about the prince, did not take the other party's attack in his eyes.

It wasn't until Ser Yali was less than five meters away from him that Zhang Lingyun began to draw talismans in the void.

In the blink of an eye, the talisman containing the fluctuation of pure spiritual power was rapidly transformed into the void, and a thick spiritual power barrier of nearly two meters blocked in front of Zhang Lingyun at the last moment.

"Bang ......!"

The crisp and pleasant sound of metal crashing suddenly sounded, and the protective barrier seemed to be hit by the surface of a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples and spreading.

"Give it to me...... Break!"

As Prince Seryali raised his foot and stomped on the ground, the energy around his body soared in vain, and the long sword in his hand continued to exert pressure, and the protective barrier began to show traces of cracking.

"It should be a little stronger!"

The first temptation had already achieved its goal, and after a short period of thought, he waved his hand to draw a divine talisman in the void, and attached his backhand to himself for backup.

"Click, click......!"

With the crisp sound of glass cracking, the protective barrier also completed its mission, turning into crystal fragments and dissipating.

"Flashed first!"

Seeing that the long sword in the prince's hand was unabated, coming straight to his chest and abdomen, Zhang Lingyun immediately released his spiritual power to activate the Divine Talisman, and the whole person disappeared like a lightning bolt.

In order to express his respect for the prince of Italy, and not wanting the other party to lose too ugly, Zhang Lingyun twisted his fingers lightly and took out the spirit stone long sword from the storage ring.

"Whew,,......!"

The light cyan three-foot-long sword body is extremely light and thin, the hilt of the sword is the carved pattern of a golden dragon carving, Zhang Lingyun's wrist slowly turned, and the green sword also waved the cold light of the debut, looking extremely majestic.

"Little Monkey...... Don't run!"

Zhang Lingyun's dodging behavior had already angered the prince who admired chivalry, and Ser Yali raised the long sword in his hand and waved it angrily, stepping on the ground and rushing towards Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun waved the spirit stone long sword in his hand, and slammed his leg to the ground, and the whole person rushed out in the face of Sayali's attack.

"Whew......!"

The long sword, which was as thin and sharp as a willow leaf, slashed through the void and sent out gusts of wind whistles, and Seryali, who was about to attack, felt the oncoming gusts of cold air.

Immediately bent his elbows to retract the power of the long sword, made a defensive posture to block his side, and confronted Zhang Lingyun's attack head-on.

"Bell...... ，”

The two powerful blades collided with each other, and the sparks scattered in all directions, and the crisp sound of impact spread.

It seemed that Sal Yali, who was full of skill, was shocked by the fierce sword momentum released by Zhang Lingyun, and he took a few steps back before completely removing it.

On the other hand, Zhang Lingyun looked very calm, and only took a step back to stabilize his figure.

"Huh, what? Just like this, is it deliberately releasing water?"

"It's better to admit defeat directly with this strength! It's a shame for him to be a member of the royal family!"

"What's going on? Isn't there anyone who can break that little Taoist's attack, this is to make him win another game!?"

The second floor of Siyongzhai was filled with envoys from various countries, and because of the completely mismatched strength of the two at first glance, everyone didn't care about the Italian envoys in the corner, and began a meaningless accusatory discussion.

"Is this the strength of the prince too weak, or is our Lingyun getting stronger again?"

"Brother Zhang, there are many people in this place...... It's better to keep a low profile!"

Looking at the senior brother with an excited face, Fifth Elder Zhang reached into his arms, took out a folding fan from the storage bag, and handed it to the senior brother to cover the smiling face at the corner of his mouth.

"Whew......!"

Sayari, whose eyes were slightly cold, exhaled a long breath, exchanged slightly sour hands with each other, and when he raised the long sword in his hand again, the corners of his mouth showed a smile of excitement.

"This makes the sword's ...... They all like to be tense!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was slightly impatient and stared at his opponent, sensed the difference in the fluctuations of the aura between the surrounding heaven and earth, and guessed that the opponent was about to attack, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Zhang Lingyun, who didn't want to hurt the other party's life, pretended to wave his hand into his arms, lightly twisted his fingers from the storage ring, took out the water balloon talisman that had already been drawn and threw it.

"Whoosh, whoosh......!"

More than ten red talismans were activated, and the water vapor in the void condensed and formed in a form visible to the naked eye, and the fist-sized water balls, driven by Zhang Lingyun's intention, went straight to Prince Sayari.

"What a cunning and treacherous inferior person!"

Prince Sayari, who finally ushered in the opponent's attack, clenched the long sword in his hand with an increasingly solemn face, and the majestic energy around his body overflowed wildly, faintly pouring into his sword body, bursting with wisps of invisible energy halo.

"Whew,,......!"

Seeing the water balloon attack approaching, Prince Sayali suddenly swung his long sword and slashed into the void, and the fierce energy turned into wisps of invisible sword qi, which were released one after another and went straight towards the water ball.

"Bang...... ，”

The invisible sword qi seemed to be nothing, and it didn't even leave the slightest trace in the void, until one by one the water balls exploded out of thin air.

Those many envoys of Fanbang who were of average strength and relied on their naked eyes to see things one after another, and Prince Sayali was not indiscriminately chopping just now.

"That's it, don't play cards at all!?"

The moment Zhang Lingyun attacked the prince of Italy, he activated several talismans that had been drawn, making them evolve into a protective barrier and surround his body.

But he didn't want the sword qi released by Prince Sayali to cancel each other out with the water ball attack, completely not giving these protective barriers the slightest chance to increase their own value.

"Ji'an, Foreman, is there a mistake in the information you've gathered?"

Marquis Andrey, who was sitting in the corner of the second floor of 'Si Yong Zhai', leaned back with one hand on the ground, shook his neck slightly from side to side and whispered to the two of them about the situation.

"With royal blood, you only need to learn the strategy of consolidating your power, and you shouldn't need to practice swordsmanship as hard!"

Foreman, who didn't know the real life situation of the prince, felt that it was full of moisture when he first saw the introduction of Selari's strength.

Now seeing the prince's successive failed attacks, Foreman's heart is even deeper.

"Lord Marquis, my subordinates are also very surprised, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Prince's swordsmanship master is not as powerful as you, but he will not be so weak!"

As the only systematically trained warrior in the team, Ji An has heard a little about the daily training of royal members, and in order not to affect the judgment of the Marquis, Ji An answered his thoughts truthfully.

"It seems that our Royal Highness the Prince is not as simple and cute as it seems on the surface!"

Marquis Andre, who already had the answer in his heart, turned his gaze back to the battle in the arena, and the hand that was already a fist on his leg showed Andrey's mentality at this time.

"Alas! what a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off!"

Seeing that the opponent had already made a defensive posture and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, Seryali's frowning brows seemed to be able to clamp the flying insect.

His Royal Highness the Prince sighed deeply, his eyes inadvertently circled the field, as if in slow motion, he reluctantly raised his long sword, bent his knees slightly, and jumped out, straight in the direction of Zhang Lingyun.

"Click, click...... ，”

Prince Sayali swung the long sword in his hand, slashing at the protective barrier like a heavy hammer, and the powerful impact caused Zhang Lingyun to retreat one after another.

With the crisp and pleasant cracking sound, the protective barrier that bore the brunt of it also appeared with subtle and imperceptible cracks.

"I don't want to play with you like this, I have plenty of time!"

Zhang Lingyun, who had carefully studied the prince's information, always felt that the current attack was very abnormal.

Although he makes a move now, it may seem that the strength of the prince is not worthy, and even the Marquis of Andrey will be embarrassed, but Zhang Lingyun does not want to have another accident at this last moment.

"Click...... ，”

As the crisp sound of broken glass sounded, the protective barrier in front of Zhang Lingyun shattered, turning into dots of light and shadow and dissipating.

"Hey!

A hideous look appeared on Sayari's face, and he suddenly swung the long sword in his hand, slashing at Zhang Lingyun, who had lost the protection of the barrier, with all his strength.
