Three days later, Du Bi Shu finished tidying up and gave instructions on all the matters in the kitchen before leaving the mountain. In the past three years, Du Bi Shu was the youngest among all the senior brothers and had a lively personality.
Zhang Xiaofan was the closest to him. Now that he was gone, Zhang Xiaofan was reluctant to part with him. He felt that Big Bamboo Peak had become even more lonely.
Then, Zhang Xiaofan began his second 'homework' in the Qingyun Sect-cooking.
That day was his first time cooking. He spent the entire morning alone in the kitchen, washing the rice and vegetables. It was already noon. Tian Buyi and the others walked into the dining hall and saw the dishes on the table as usual. Zhang Xiaofan was sitting at the end of the table with his hands clasped together. He was so nervous that anyone could feel it.
Everyone sat down. Tian Buyi did not say anything, but Su Ru looked at Zhang Xiaofan and smiled.""Xiao Fan, how does it feel to cook for the first time?”
Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth but couldn't think of anything to say. Tian Buyi snorted and said,""Let's eat." All the disciples responded and picked up some food with their chopsticks, placing it into their mouths.
The dining hall was silent.
Zhang Xiaofan was so nervous that his heart was in his throat. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead as he whispered,"" Master, Senior Brother, I, I didn't do well. You, you…"
"Wow, it's really delicious!" Tian Ling 'er suddenly let out a cry of joy and couldn't help but pick up another piece of bamboo shoot and put it into her mouth. Zhang Xiaofan was stunned. All of his senior brothers were smiling and nodding non-stop. They were full of praises for him.
"I didn't expect little junior brother to have such a move. Amazing, amazing!”
"Oh (unclear), it's better than No. 5, no, it's better than No. 5 and No. 6 combined.”
Ling Yun ate Zhang Xiaofan's cooking and thought,""It's a pity that this kid doesn't want to be a chef. But... You're even worse than me." (This is not a lie.) Pork Knuckle was a Japanese otaku. If he didn't know how to cook, he would be very hungry.。）
After dinner, Zhang Xiaofan was busy cleaning up the dishes. Ling Yun stepped forward and helped Zhang Xiaofan clean up.
" Seventh Senior Brother, you don't have to help me. I can do it alone," Zhang Xiaofan said." Can I ask you something?"”Ling Yun smiled and nodded. Then, they arrived at the bamboo forest. He took out the [Cloud Release] and played it.
Time passed quickly. Another half a year passed. As the Qingyun Sect's once-in-a-sixty-year Martial Competition of the Seven Lineages approached, not only Su Ru, but even Tian Buyi began to urge his disciples. Everyone was focused on cultivation, except for Zhang Xiaofan and Ling Yun.。"Geniuses have their own cultivation methods.。”
On this day, the weather on Big Bamboo Peak was extremely good. Suddenly, there was the sound of something breaking through the air above their heads. Two rays of white light came from the west. Beside them, Big Yellow seemed to be startled and started barking loudly at the white light. Xiao Hui stretched out his hand and touched its head twice, as if to comfort it. Unexpectedly, it was very effective. Big Yellow actually immediately quieted down.
Ling Yun watched as the two rays of white light landed in front of the Shoujing Hall. After a flash of light, two people appeared. One of them was tall and elegant, and his white robes fluttered in the wind. He was extremely handsome.
The other person was a young man who was shorter than him, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly held his breath. A trace of sadness that he had once forgotten slowly rose from the depths of his heart because of that lonely back!
"Jingyu?" He stood up and called out in a hoarse voice.
The youth's body trembled and he immediately turned around. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end, all he could say was one word:
"Xiaofan!"
"Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, the disciples of Daoist Master Cang Song of Longshou Peak, greet Martial Uncle Tian and Martial Uncle Su.”
Tian Buyi and Su Ru sat in the upper seats of the Hall of Silence, while the rest of the disciples were lined up beside them. Two white-robed men, Lin Jingyu and a handsome young man named Qi Hao, were greeting Tian Buyi. Zhang Xiaofan stood at the end of the line and looked at Lin Jingyu.
At this moment, Lin Jingyu also turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan. Their eyes met, and Lin Jingyu smiled. Zhang Xiaofan's heart warmed, and he nodded emotionally.
Tian Buyi's gaze shifted from Qi Hao to Lin Jingyu, and his expression darkened. He saw that the two of them were handsome, and with his eyesight, he could instantly tell that their aptitudes were far above his own disciples. Needless to say, Qi Hao was already famous among the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect. On the other hand, the young Lin Jingyu could already tell that he had cultivated to the fourth level of the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao and above from the fact that he could already ride a sword just now. With him entering the sect for less than three and a half years, his aptitude was truly astonishing.
However, when Tian Buyi looked at Xiaofan and Ling Yun…。He was just happy for a moment... "Ashen Pine. I told you to snatch it from me…Now, I have two disciples who are more talented than Lin Jingyu.。”Tian Buyi asked, What are you guys doing here?”
"Reporting to Uncle-Master Tian, my master, Daoist Master Cang Song, was entrusted by the sect master, Daoist Master Dao Xuan, to take care of the matters of the 'Seven Lineages Martial Competition' in two years. Because there are some changes, he ordered me and Junior Brother Lin to come and report.”
Tian Buyi snorted and sized up Lin Jingyu.""He's deliberately trying to show off to me!”
Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu's expressions changed. Lin Jingyu was about to flare up, but Qi Hao stopped him and smiled."Uncle-Master Tian sure knows how to joke. We're both from the Qingyun Sect, and Uncle-Master Tian is highly respected.”
Tian Buyi's face was gloomy and did not look any better. However, Su Ru, who was beside him, smiled kindly and said gently,""You don't have to mind. Martial Uncle Tian was just joking with you. By the way, you said that there were some changes. What's going on?”
Qi Hao replied respectfully," Uncle Su, this is what happened. In the past Seven Lineage Martial Competition, the Green Cloud Sect sent four people from each lineage. In addition, the Long Gate Tongtian Peak sent four more people, making a total of thirty-two people. They drew lots to fight, and the winner advanced. After five rounds, the final winner will be the outstanding talent of the younger generation of the Green Cloud Sect and will be nurtured by the masters.”
Su Ru pursed her lips and smiled gracefully."Speaking of which, you were in the limelight in the last examination. I remember that you were second place in the end. If it weren't for Xiao Yicai from the Chang Sect, you might have been the martial arts champion of the Qingyun Sect.”
Qi Hao's expression did not change. He smiled and said," Uncle-Master Su, you flatter me. In the last test, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai from the main branch was a genius with profound cultivation. I'm far inferior to him. I admit defeat wholeheartedly and have nothing to say." However, regarding the Seven Lineages Martial Competition that will be held two years later, after my master discussed it with the Daoist Sect Master, he made some changes to the rules and specially ordered me to report it to the two Martial Uncles.”
Tian Buyi and Su Ru were both moved."What happened?"
"My master, Daoist Master Cang Song, believes that the main purpose of the 'Seven Lineages Martial Competition' is to discover the talents of the disciples of each lineage and nurture them. As of today, the Qingyun Sect had nearly a thousand disciples. Among them, there were many new disciples from the younger generation, and there were many outstanding figures among them. Thinking about it, there was only one chance every sixty years, and each faction only had four people. It was too little. Therefore, my master suggested that the seven lineages each send nine disciples, with the Long Sect having the most disciples. With one more disciple, it would be sixty-four disciples. As usual, they would draw lots to fight, and a total of six rounds would be held to determine the winner. This way, he could avoid the regret of losing a pearl in the vast sea.”
Tian Buyi and Su Ru looked at each other, and their expressions turned even uglier. The disciples of his Great Bamboo Peak were few in number and poor in aptitude. At first glance, it seemed that he had an advantage, but in fact, it was the Longmen Tongtian Peak and Cangsong Longshou Peak, which had the most talented people, who had a great advantage.
Su Ru saw her husband's ugly expression and shook her head slightly. How could Tian Buyi not know what his wife meant? Since this matter had been discussed by the Head Senior Brother and Cang Song, it was already a foregone conclusion. There was no point in arguing. He immediately said coldly,"That's good. I have no objections.”
"That's for the best." Qi Hao smiled. In addition, before leaving, my master had instructed me that my junior brother Lin and junior brother Zhang under martial uncle Tian are old friends. I hope martial uncle Tian can let the two of them catch up.”
Tian Buyi waved his hand and said impatiently,""Yes, yes."
Lin Jingyu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but he didn't dare to act up because he was a senior elder. Now that he had heard the elder's words, he turned around and walked toward Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan was excited and walked out as well.
Lin Jingyu walked up to him and sized him up carefully. His eyes suddenly turned red as he said bitterly," You've grown up, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan had mixed feelings. He nodded and said,""You too. By the way, do you have any news about the tragedy in the village?”
"I've asked Master many times these past few years, but there hasn't been any progress. What about you?" Lin Jingyu shook his head.”
"Me too," Zhang Xiaofan said with a bitter smile.”
"Let's talk outside." Lin Jingyu pulled his hand and said.”
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Tian Buyi and Su Ru. Tian Buyi ignored him, but Su Ru smiled and said,""Go ahead."
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed. He nodded at her and hurried out with Lin Jingyu.
