Chapter 31: The assessment ends
I saw that on the yellow canvas, the first row was written with twelve gilt characters of "First Tianlong Town Mu Hao Seventy-two Points". And the second place is Shi Qingyun, who has always been recognized as the first. Du Yuanhao also ranked eighth because of his outstanding results in the last round.
With the result of losing to Mu Hao, the chances of entering the top ten were very slim. Therefore, looking at Mu Hao, who was smiling, he nodded slightly in gratitude. Du Ming, who was on the side, snorted coldly at him: "Du Yuanhao, remember that you are a member of the Du family." Looking at the angry Du Ming, Du Yuanhao just pouted, and said, "I know, the head of the family." But he sighed in his heart: "The century-old foundation of my Du family will be destroyed sooner or later in the hands of you two masters." ”
"Okay, the list is out, let's disperse! Remember, the top 100 contestants must rush to my Qianyang Sect's Preparatory Disciple Pavilion within three months to report, and those who fail to do so will be disqualified from entering the Preparatory Disciple Pavilion. If the top 10 students do not arrive within the time limit without special circumstances, although their qualifications to enter the Preparatory Disciple Pavilion will not be cancelled, their qualifications to enter the Qianyang Pavilion will be cancelled. Looking at the crowd watching the list, Wang Kai shouted loudly.
In the envious eyes of everyone, Mu Hao and Mu Ping left the square and returned to the Mu family in Tianlong Town.
"Ah Fu, tell me to go down. Today, everyone in the house gave a month's salary as a red envelope, and asked the kitchen to make a banquet, and everyone in the house participated, celebrating that Hao'er had won the first place in the assessment of Linjiang City. Mu Ping's face was full of spring breeze and he commanded Mu Fu.
This old man who has passed the age of sixties has always been able to suppress his inner emotions, and there are few times when his emotions are exposed. But this time, it was really hard for him to suppress the excitement in his heart!
"Okay, sir, I'll go down and do it now!" Mu Fu also nodded excitedly and replied happily. But he sighed in his heart: "Brother Ping has been dull and depressed since the incident with the young master, and it is rare to smile. The little young master's inability to cultivate made him even more heartbroken, and now he is finally better. I hope God blesses me and my family will be able to have a smooth sail from now on. ”
After the wine and food were complete, at the invitation of Mu Ping and Mu Hao, Mu Fu also sat down at the banquet of the main family. Mu Ping personally filled a cup for Mu Hao and Mu Fu, and said with a smile: "Today, we won't get drunk and won't return." ”
"Hmm. Mu Hao also held the wine glass, smiled and nodded.
"For Hao'er's sect assessment competition, it's done!" Mu Ping was extremely happy, raised his head and squeaked, and a full glass of wine immediately entered his stomach.
"Grandpa, drink slowly! Grandson toasts you!" Mu Hao was infected by this pleasant atmosphere, and he also drank it all.
After a cup, Mu Hao immediately filled it for Mu Ping. Mu Ping was arrogant, and picked up the wine glass again: "This cup is for the ancestors of the Mu family to drink." After two glasses in a row, Mu Ping put down his wine glass and laughed, his eyes already flashing with crystal tears.
It's the first time for a family of three people to open up like this, you have a cup and I have a drink, and each person has at least thirty or forty cups.
With the current cultivation of Mu Ping, Mu Hao and Mu Fu, they will not be affected by the power of alcohol at all. Therefore, drinking alcohol is as simple as drinking plain water for them. In a cheerful atmosphere, this banquet lasted for nearly an hour before it ended.
On the sixth day after the end of the sect assessment competition, the entire Linjiang City was still immersed in the shock brought by the earth-shattering battle and the results of the competition. The entire Linjiang City is full of talking about the battles and each round of assessment in the sect assessment competition. And among them, it is naturally the two battles between Mu Hao, Du Yuanhao, and Du Ding, which are the most talked about.
With the help of Mu Hao's momentum of winning the first place in the assessment competition. In just a few days, the prestige and status of the Mu family have risen almost in a straight line. Therefore, many families have sent congratulatory gifts to make friends with the herdsman, and even many matchmakers have come to the door to say that the matchmaker has married.
However, Mu Hao, as the party concerned, has disappeared. In a secret room in the small pavilion of the Mu family, two figures stood in it, and their eyes were all looking at Mu Hao who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the bed in the secret room. At this time, Mu Hao's pale ruddy face looked as if some of the injuries in his body had healed, and his breath had also returned to its previous majesty.
Even, if you sense it carefully. I can also perceive that this breath seems to have some faint signs of instability. This kind of up-and-down atmosphere is no stranger to Mu Ping and Mu Fu on the side. Because every time they advance, they will be in this situation.
"Hao'er, this guy has been cultivating for five days, why hasn't he been good? Even if he is promoted, it seems that it won't take so long, right?" frowning and looking at Mu Hao, who closed his eyes, Mu Ping spoke.
Mu Fu smiled and looked at Mu Hao, who had his eyes closed, and said in a deep voice: "The young master has fought several times in a row, and the mana in his body has almost completely dried up in the last battle with Du Ding. However, it was such a high-intensity battle that made him a blessing in disguise and a chance to advance. ”
"By the way, Mufu, do you have anything else to do? Recently, a lot of families have come to visit, if you don't have to deal with it yourself, you don't have to ask me!" Mu Ping, who was staring at Mu Hao's face with a pair of black eyes, nodded first when he heard this, and then waved his hand at Mu Fu.
Hearing this, Mu Fu nodded and bowed out.
In the quiet of the secret room, it was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. "Master, the city lord Shi Shengyang came to visit with the eldest lady Shi Qingyun, saying that there was something important to discuss with my Mu family, and by the way, I would like to see the young master. Butler Fu was entertaining in the front hall, and ordered the little one to come and tell the master. The middle-aged man dressed in a short-sleeved white shirt said respectfully to Mu Ping.
"Yes. Ah Chen, you are staring at this door. No one is allowed to enter it to disturb the young master's cultivation, if there is something urgent, just shout loudly, I will rush there immediately. Mu Ping stroked E's white beard and commanded with a smile.
"Knowing the master, I won't let people come to disturb the young master. The middle-aged man in the short-sleeved white shirt replied solemnly. With the rapid rise of the prestige and status of the Mu family, every member of the Mu family who works in the Mu family walks in Linjiang City, all of them are full of courage and no longer as careful as before. And others saw that these workers of the herdsman family also had envy on their faces. And as Mu Hao, who brought all this, he was naturally regarded as a god by everyone in the Mu family, and he could not tolerate the slightest violation by others.
In the living room, Shi Shengyang, dressed in a yellow robe, sat quietly on a chair. Shi Qingyun, who was sitting next to him, slowly tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and looked around. For some reason, his mood was a little rushed.
Looking around, I watched an old man in a black shirt enter. Shi Qingyun hurriedly stood up, but she didn't see the familiar figure, and a faint sense of loss flashed from her face without a trace.
"The lord of the city and the eldest lady came to visit, and my family is grateful. Hao'er is at a critical juncture in his healing and cultivation, so he can't come forward, I'm sorry. Mu Ping walked in slowly, came to the center of this hall, and smiled faintly at Shi Shengyang and Shi Qingyun beside him.
"Hehe, out of the way. Shi Shengyang smiled, then stood up, took out a jade box from the storage ring, and slowly handed it to Mu Ping. Smiled: "This is an elixir with an extremely good healing effect. Presumably it has some effect on Mu Hao's little friend, Brother Mu Ping should not refuse. ”
After a slight hesitation, Mu Ping nodded slightly, took the jade box handed over by Shi Shengyang and said softly: "Then the little old man will wait for Hao'er to thank the city lord." ”
"Hehe, it's okay" Shi Shengyang hurriedly waved his hand.
"I came to visit Mu Hao Xiaoyou this time, in fact, the main thing is to discuss with Brother Mu on important matters. Looking at Mu Ping, who put the jade box into the storage ring, Shi Shengyang said in a deep tone.
"Something important, just a command from the lord of the city. Even if you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, as long as my Mu family can do it, there is no excuse!" Mu Ping replied in a slightly serious tone.
"Haha, it's not as terrifying as going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire! Brother Mu has ever heard of "Medicine King Zhai"?" Shi Shengyang laughed.
"Yaowang Zhai? This "Yaowangzhai" is a shop opened by Yaowang Valley to buy and sell pills and medicinal materials, but it seems that there is only one near the City Lord's Mansion in my Linjiang City. I don't know what this "Medicine King Zhai" has to do with the important things that the city lord and I talked about?" Mu Ping nodded at first, and then asked with a little confusion.
"Brother Muping, don't always be the city lord, the city lord, so rusty. Brother, how old am I older than you, you call me Brother Shi, can I call you Brother Mu?" Looking at the restrained Mu Ping, Shi Shengyang took a sip of tea and chuckled.
"Then thank you Brother Shi for your kindness!" Mu Ping nodded and hugged his fists.
"Yes, Brother Shepherd. Recently, Deacon Wang of the Medicine King Valley came to my Linjiang City and said that his Medicine King Valley wanted to open another "Medicine King Zhai" in this Linjiang City. And this location is set in the Tianlong Town of your Mu family, so come to discuss with Brother Mu. Shi Shengyang chuckled.
"Open another "Medicine King Zhai" in Tianlong Town!" Mu Ping exclaimed. You must know that this "Medicine King Zhai" contains all kinds of pills that all monks crave, and it also buys things like the demon beast inner pill and the spiritual materials of heaven and earth. It can be said that where there is "Yaowang Zhai", there is a gathering place for monks. Therefore, the flow of people and wealth brought to the local area by each "Yaowang Zhai" is immeasurable.
Looking at Mu Ping with a surprised face, Shi Shengyang sighed with envy in his heart: "This Mu family seems to have a great friendship with Medicine King Valley! I don't know if it will threaten the status of my Shi family in the future." However, it is better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake, let alone be as stupid as the Du family and offend an enemy with great potential. Give birth to a son and give birth to Mu Hao!"
Shi Shengyang continued: "Then I'll talk to Brother Mu about the specific details of this matter, so that it will be easier to act in the future!" and Shi Qingyun, who was beside him, slowly became impatient.
