Chapter 39 Pretending to Be a Tiger
The next morning, Cai Junyang was practicing swords in the yard when he saw Tang Jie walk in: "Jun Yang, how many people are here in the club this time?"
Cai Junyang replied: "Not many, Ping An Yue didn't come, Hong Yan and Famous Yang did come, and Lu Yu Hong Ning and the others."
"Call them, let's have dinner together in the evening, plus Senior Brother Peng and the others. It's also the day of the social gathering, so we just get together."
Cai Junyang smiled and said, "Why did you remember to invite everyone to dinner?"
"The big competition is about to start. If we don't get together now, I'm afraid there will be no chances in the future."
"That's right, that's okay, Tianxianglou?"
Tang Jie waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't, I can't afford to go to that place a second time. How about Qingxin Xiaozhu? The place is also considered elegant."
Qingxin Xiaozhu is located by the artificial lake opened by Xiaoyao Palace.
Drinking and having fun by the lake on the top of the mountain is a beautiful thing in life.
"No problem." Cai Junyang replied heartily.
At the same time, a person who looked exactly like "You Shaofeng" also went to see Long Tao, and said to Long Tao: "Tomorrow is the official start of the Fairy Fate Association. Before that, why not host a banquet to entertain everyone and boost morale. It’s also a swearing-in meeting.”
Long Tao readily agreed.
That night, Tang Jie and others arrived at Qingxin Xiaozhu first.
The waiter who had already served greeted him, and led Tang Jie inside.
After walking for a while, Tang Jie suddenly stopped in front of a corridor. This corridor is different from other places. It extends all the way to the center of the lake. At the end is an octagonal pavilion with a big Eight Immortals table under it, which can seat more than a dozen people. It is decorated with flower decorations, which looks elegant and natural.
Tang Jie pointed at the flower pavilion and said, "This place is nice, let's eat there!"
Everyone shouted and applauded, anyway, Tang Jie treats guests, he said that it is good to eat wherever.
But the waiter looked puzzled: "Your lords, someone ordered that pavilion."
"Oh?" Tang Jie smiled: "Then ask them to give way! I must give it to the Moon Sect to save face!"
The tone of these words is very low-key, and the content is very arrogant, but everyone is used to hearing it, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. People from the Six Great Sects always have this attitude when they encounter such things when they are away from home. Generally, they will not deliberately deal with or bully anyone, but if there is anything good, they must give priority to the Six Great Sects.
Unexpectedly, the waiter replied: "But the one who rented this pavilion is also from the Xiyue Sect."
"Oh? That would be easier." Tang Jie didn't care. "Aren't they here yet? Let's go there to eat first, and then we'll let it go when they come. We're all our own people, so we can talk about anything." .”
"That's right, most of them were ordered by Senior Brother Zhu. These guys came out to drink flowers and wine by themselves, but they didn't call us." Cai Junyang said.
A Xiaoyao Club student interfaced: "Then you didn't call them either?"
Cai Junyang gave them a look: "Nonsense, it's not me hosting the banquet."
A group of people just sat on the flower pavilion by the lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and invited the moon to the wine, and it was quite enjoyable.
During the meeting, Peng Yaolong said: "Tomorrow is the day when the Fairy Fate will be held, Tang Jie, do you know how to arrange it?"
Tang Jie shook his head: "I don't know the details of this matter, I'm afraid I won't know until the official start."
Liu Hongyan pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I know a little bit about this."
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Liu Hongyan together.
Liu Hongyan cleared her throat, and then said: "This Xianyuan Conference, according to the rules, a total of 120 participants will be divided into two rounds of assessment, and ten winners will be selected in the end. The first round of assessment is a group arena. "
"Group arena?"
"That's right." Liu Hongyan nodded: "Since it's a competition between the six major factions, how could there be no confrontation? Isn't the group arena very normal?"
"How do you play?" Peng Yaolong asked.
Liu Hongyan thought for a while and answered: "I remember that they were divided into six groups. Each of the six major factions sent a group of twenty people. Each group drew lots, with numbers ranging from 1 to 20. Those with the same numbers in each group faced each other. For example The number one of the Moonwashing faction is matched with the number one of the other five factions."
"That means everyone will play five games?" Qi Shaoming asked.
"En." Liu Hongyan nodded: "One point is awarded for each game won, and the top sixty people with the highest points enter the next round. Those who rank in the middle and have the same points will have an extra round."
"That means getting rid of half of the people." Ye Tianshang let out a breath.
"Yes." Liu Hongyan replied.
The rules of Xianyuanhui are simple and cruel. The so-called group arena is a points competition. The highest score is five points, the lowest score is zero, and those with insufficient points will be eliminated.
"What about the second game?" Someone asked.
Liu Hongyan replied: "As far as I know, everyone is gathered in one place for a scuffle. Do you still remember the ten treasures promised by Xiaoyao Palace? That is the proof of the winner. Whoever can get one is the top ten." one."
Hearing this, Tang Jie frowned.
According to Liu Hongyan's statement, whoever gets a treasure will become one of the top ten, and most of the treasures are automatically rewarded to the students. Doesn't that mean that he has to go to get this thing specially if he wants to get the Dumen Banner?
This undoubtedly made it more difficult for him.
"Then what if you get more than one?" Shu Mingyang asked.
Liu Hongyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Then I don't know. I've also heard people say these things, and I don't know if it's true or not, but who knows, it's okay to say no."
She spoke with a sweet smile, as if she was just hearing the story, but Tang Jie knew that she was a disciple of Master Yuliu, a future personal disciple, and Master Yuliu happened to come to Hongmei City.
This time at the Fairy Fate Meeting, the Zifu of the six major factions did not move, but several Tianxin-level figures appeared.
There are Xie Fengtang, Yuliu Zhenren and others in the Xiyue faction, but the most famous one is Ming Yekong, the nineteenth leader of the Xiyue faction.
The Moonwashing Party attaches great importance to talents and pursues the principle of separation of selection and training. Ming Yekong is the head of the selection hall, and he is responsible for selecting talents, including introducing students to the college from the outside, or introducing students from the college to the sect, and even the promotion of some internal personnel. Therefore, whenever there is a competition, it is generally presided over by someone in the selected hall.
Ming Yekong is in charge of a relatively important event like Xianyuanhui.
It's a good thing that these big shots always live in seclusion and don't show up easily, otherwise they would walk around the streets at will, and a bunch of kids might not even dare to breathe.
"In that case, if I collect all ten treasures in one go, wouldn't it mean that I am the only one of the ten outstanding ones?" Someone asked at this moment.
"You still want to collect them all? Are you dreaming?" Someone laughed.
"You can't say that. Didn't Tang Jie win all the top three missions in the last true biography battle?"
"That's Tang Jie, not you. Besides, it's a one-by-one comparison. This time, there are ten pieces at the same time. If you ask Tang Jie to do it, he won't be able to get ten pieces in one go."
"I can't even take two of them." Tang Jie replied solemnly.
"Brother Tang is afraid to take it? I heard that Brother Tang has a good relationship with a certain woman from Tianyahaige!" Peng Yaolong laughed.
Immediately someone expressed sympathy and said, "I want bear's paw, I want fish!"
A group of people laughed at the same time, making fun of Tang Jie.
Just as he was laughing, he heard a cold snort: "Guys, you are sitting in the wrong place, we booked this place first."
Looking back, I saw Long Tao and others glaring at Tang Jie.
It's rare to find time to go out to drink with friends, but I didn't expect to run into my deadly enemy and take my place. If it wasn't for the concern that Peng Yaolong and others were also there, Long Tao might have fought a big fight at this moment.
Tang Jie raised his brows, "It turned out that Senior Brother Long ordered the table. But since we have already eaten here, you guys might as well wait until we finish eating."
"You!" Long Tao's eyes were furious, but he was worried about the existence of Peng Yaolong and others, so it was really not suitable for him to do it, but Tang Jie didn't give him face, and his words were so hateful, so he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, You Shaofeng suddenly stood up next to him and said, "I'm afraid it's not my platform, the senior brothers can't eat well."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and saw that the entire octagonal pavilion suddenly shook, rumbling like an earthquake, a large cloud of dust fell from the roof of the pavilion, and the soup and water on the table splashed out together.
This action caught everyone by surprise, Peng Yaolong, Cai Junyang and others were even splashed with soup.
"Bastard!" Peng Yaolong shouted angrily.
He didn't intend to meddle in this business, but since Tang Jie invited him to a dinner, it was really inappropriate to tear Tang Jie down, so he didn't speak. Unexpectedly, You Shaofeng was so vile, he even used spells to shake the pavilion, making it impossible for everyone to eat properly.
Angry in his heart at this moment, he raised his hand to grab You Shaofeng.
At the same time he made a move, You Shaofeng said with a smile: "We've already waited here, Senior Brother Peng still wants to drive people away, it's overbearing to act like this!"
As he said that, instead of retreating, he advanced, and bumped into the claws that Peng Yaolong handed over with his elbow.
This time when the elbows and claws collided, there was a bang, and Peng Yaolong was so shocked that he sat back, immediately stunned everyone.
Although it is estimated that Peng Yaolong only used 40% of his force just now to act casually, but even this 40% of his force is not something ordinary people can resist. Unexpectedly, You Shaofeng not only resisted the claw, but also knocked Peng Yaolong back.
This backlash made Peng Yaolong blush, and he was about to strike again when Tang Jie shouted, "Bastard!"
Patting the table with his hand, a dish flew towards You Shaofeng.
You Shaofeng grabbed the dish with his backhand, and said with a sneer, "Reciprocity is a courtesy."
As he spoke, he threw the dish away, and flew towards Tang Jie, Tang Jie dodged sideways, the dish turned around in the air, and turned back again, hitting Peng Yaolong's second outstretched arm. He didn't catch You Shaofeng, but he grabbed the vegetable dish back. Under the strong force, he crushed the vegetable dish into fine powder, even he himself couldn't help being stunned.
This force was ingenious, successively defusing Tang Jie and Peng Yaolong's joint attack, and all the students couldn't help but praise in their hearts.
I didn't expect that You Shaofeng usually does not show his mountains and dews, but at this moment he showed extraordinary abilities. Sure enough, everyone has two brushes, and everyone will hide their clumsiness?
While daydreaming in his mind, Cai Junyang had already laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, I underestimated Brother You, so I will try with my sword!"
You Shaofeng laughed, the brilliance in his hand flashed, a long sword appeared in his hand, he swiped three swords in a row, stabbing at Cai Junyang, Peng Yaolong and Tang Jie respectively.
The sword light exploded, and there were three shocks in a row. Of course, You Shaofeng was slapped on the shoulder by Peng Yaolong and flew back, and a deep wound was drawn on Tang Jie's shoulder.
Everyone was shocked at this moment.
With one against three, You Shaofeng fought against Tang, Peng and Cai at the same time, and he was able to retaliate against one of them. This kind of strength may not be able to be achieved by a few people in the entire Xiyue Academy, right?
I didn't expect this guy to hide so deeply.
But at the next moment, You Shaofeng snorted suddenly and knelt down, holding his shoulders with a pained expression on his face, as if he was powerless to fight any more.
It's just that he is like this, but it only attracts contempt from everyone, thinking that this is not a battle of life and death, Peng Yaolong didn't use his full strength, how could he hurt you like this with one palm? If you really couldn't resist, why did you cut Tang Jie with your sword?
You must know that Tang Jie's defense is notoriously strong.
Being able to slash Tang Jie with a single sword but not being able to stop Peng Yaolong's palm can only show that this guy is pretending, but following the glimpse just now, everyone will no longer believe him.
Even so, Tang Jie, Peng Yaolong and the others had a change of expression. For the result of three-on-one, no one expected it. You Shaofeng's sudden emergence gave everyone a big blow, as if to remind everyone , Never underestimate anyone, you never know when someone will suddenly show their power and show another side of you that you have never seen before.
Maybe you think you already know someone, but you never really do.
Various thoughts appeared in the minds of everyone in turn, but none of them said a word.
In the end, it was Tang Jie who said angrily: "Brother You is so skillful, I admire you! Anyway, this table was also ordered by Senior Brother Long, so we just occupied it like this. It's over, what do you guys think?"
He looked at Peng Yaolong and the others.
The latter looked at You Shaofeng meaningfully at first, but in the end Ye Tianshang was the one who took the lead and said with a long smile: "Yes, I should go if I have enough wine and food. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see Junior Brother You's real skills today." , I am truly delighted to have so many talented people in Xiyue Sect. It's a pity that Junior Brother You will not participate in the Fairy Fate Meeting, otherwise Junior Brother You might be able to win the title of one of the top ten with his skill."
But You Shaofeng just snorted: "Senior Brother Ye is just kidding, I can't even bear a slap from Senior Brother Peng, how can I have the qualifications to participate in the Fairy Fate Association."
It's just that the more he said that, the more no one believed him. On the contrary, a group of people left their seats one after another and returned the stage to Long Tao.
Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly floated in the distance, but it was An Rumeng.
For some reason, this woman suddenly appeared here, her phoenix eyes swept away, and they stopped on You Shaofeng.
Seeing You Shaofeng, An Rumeng's eyes lit up, she moved her lotus steps lightly and said, "You Shaofeng, come here, I have something to talk to you about."
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze at the same time.
An Rumeng was famous for being cold, glamorous and noble in Xiyue College, without any false colors, why did she suddenly invite You Shaofeng to talk at this moment.
Reminiscing what You Shaofeng did before, everyone suddenly realized at the same time, as expected, this guy has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all the time, unexpectedly he even hooked up with An Rumeng quietly. If it is said that he has no real skills, how can a woman like An Rumeng look at him differently.
At that moment, I don't know how many people focused their attention on You Shaofeng.
