Chapter 171

PS: Soccer has the World Cup, martial arts has the Martial Arts Exhibition, isn't that true?

As the saying goes: Some people are happy while others are sad.

Although Zhang Xiaohua wasn't very happy on the first day of the Martial Arts Exhibition, at least she wasn't sad.

As for the two brothers from the Lotus Flower Escort Agency, it was hard to say.

Shangguan Yun's face was extremely unsightly as he stood below a ring. Looking at the group of youngsters, or rather children, who were a head shorter than him, who were chattering about their experiences on the first day of the competition, he felt an unusual bitterness in his heart. He finally understood the reason why no one from the Lotus Escort Agency had participated in this Martial Arts Exhibition for decades. However, for this simple reason, the price he had to pay was really too great. Fortunately, the sky was already dark at this time, and no one paid attention to this young man who had lost three matches in a row. Otherwise, Shangguan Yun would rather make a crack in the ground and hide in it.

Thinking about it, why did he listen to Yu Deyi's instigation?

Was it because of his curiosity that he got involved in this mess? Or was it because of his longing for the Ethereal Sect?

Curiosity killed the cat.

Since ancient times, countless examples had shown that impulsiveness and curiosity had a heavy price to pay. His cat hadn't been killed, but his self-esteem had been completely strangled.

Thinking about the three matches he had just gone through, he had thought that his martial arts had already had some foundation. In addition, he had trained hard in the Lotus Flower Escort Agency's martial arts training center for nearly a year. Although it wasn't enough to deal with these children, he should at least have the strength to fight back.

But the seemingly naive and childish children below were completely different people in the ring. They were merciless in the competition, their fists were skillful, their figures were graceful, and even their internal strength had reached a certain level. On the other hand, other than the last child who was slightly weaker, he had fought for half an hour before he was forced to the corner of the ring and had no choice but to raise his hand and admit defeat. The other two had all knocked him out of the ring within a few dozen moves.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun shook his head slightly and said to himself, "This trip to the Misty School, it was a mistake!

This is so embarrassing. But, I wonder how Yu Deyi's results are? "

At this time, a small shadow flitted across his heart, but was immediately driven away by him. If he had been defeated so badly, what else could be said about the youth?

He must have been beaten black and blue.

On the other side, Yu Deyi wasn't having an easy time either. He was number two and had to go up in the first round. Yu Deyi had initially looked down on him. After all, he had his family's internal force cultivation method and had been practicing it for a long time. He also knew the power of this internal force. Wasn't it his fault that the Lotus Flower Escort Agency had crippled Zhang Xiaohua's hand?

Therefore, when he entered the arena, he did not dare to use ten percent of his inner strength. He only used fifty percent.

But the Misty School youth opposite him didn't buy it and used ten percent of his inner strength to compete with him. Although that youth was younger than Yu Deyi and hadn't been practicing his internal force cultivation method for as long as him, he was talented and his internal force cultivation method was advanced. The depth of his inner strength was actually not much worse than Yu Deyi's.

Therefore, when Yu Deyi saw that the situation wasn't good, he immediately focused 675 percent of his attention and used ten percent of his inner strength to treat the youth in front of him as an equal opponent. Only then did they manage to be evenly matched. That youth saw that he didn't have the upper hand and immediately changed the rules of the competition. He used his Qinggong and an exquisite palm technique to fight with him. Yu Deyi's moves weren't as exquisite as his opponent's, and his Qinggong wasn't as agile as his opponent's. He could only rely on his own deep inner strength and adopt a defensive stance. Only then was he able to steadily defend against his opponent's attacks for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.

When the team leader announced that it was a draw, Yu Deyi secretly let out a sigh of relief. If he had another half an incense stick of time, he would have definitely lost.

Unfortunately, Yu Deyi was happy too early. Because he had used up too much of his inner strength in the first round, he hadn't fully recovered by the time he entered the arena again. And his opponent for the second round was even crazier. It was a youth who had deeper inner strength than Yu Deyi's previous opponent and whose moves were more exquisite. From the start, he didn't give Yu Deyi a chance to catch his breath. He immediately took the initiative and attacked non-stop. Yu Deyi's inner strength wasn't enough and his moves and body techniques couldn't compare to his opponent's. As he retreated to defend, he cried in his heart. Brother, can you not bully me like this? Can you at least leave me some face!?

However, his opponent didn't have any special abilities and didn't know what Yu Deyi was thinking. He only focused on attacking. Before a quarter of the incense stick had even burned, Yu Deyi was kicked out of the arena by his opponent.

After falling out of the arena, Yu Deyi wasn't discouraged. He secretly hid the sadness of his defeat and hurriedly circulated his inner strength to recover his inner strength. He wanted to obtain all three points in the third round.

Man proposes, God disposes.

Yu Deyi's fate was actually already sealed when he drew the number plate with Zhang Xiaohua and Shangguan Yun.

Yu Deyi's third round was simply a replica of the first round. He was constantly suppressed by his opponent and could only breathe a sigh of relief after the time it took to burn a stick of incense.

With two draws and one loss, Yu Deyi stood below the arena. As one of his fellow sufferers, he couldn't help but have the same thoughts as Shangguan Yun. His self-esteem had suffered a huge blow!

At the same time, he also thought that if he was like this, then what would happen to Shangguan Yun and Zhang Xiaohua, who was half-baked and had a crippled right hand?

However, Yu Deyi still had a different feeling in his heart. This Misty School was indeed a famous school. Even though he was just a commoner, he had such strength. He wasn't a match for him even though he had practiced for many years. If he could enter such a school to further his studies, then in a few years, his martial arts would improve by leaps and bounds.

However, he was already old and his aptitude might not be much better than these youngsters who were much shorter than him. The Misty School might not make an exception and accept him.

Thinking of this, Yu Deyi immediately thought of Zhang Xiaohu's figure in his heart. How could this country bumpkin catch the eye of the Misty School and become a disciple of the Misty School?

Thinking of Zhang Xiaohu's country bumpkin appearance and then looking at his own clothes, Yu Deyi couldn't help but raise his head and look at the dark sky. From the bottom of his heart, he shouted, "Heavens, I'm so handsome, why don't you care more about me?

Is it because I'm too handsome that you treat me this way?

The heavens are really unfair!

Why don't you send down lightning and strike those … "

Just as he thought of this, he heard thunder in the sky. Yu Deyi's heart skipped a beat. Did the heavens hear his prayers?

He then stole a glance at the youngster beside him. No one else seemed to be paying attention to him. Only then did he feel relieved.

Suddenly, Yu Deyi had a malicious thought. If everyone else ate until they had diarrhea, then tomorrow wouldn't he …?

Yu Deyi secretly prayed again!

Zhang Xiaohua, on the other hand, didn't have the same thoughts and worries as the other two. After a day of competition, he was a little hungry.

Although the people from the Misty School didn't live a life of luxury, they were still favored by the heavens. After coming to the Misty School, their basic necessities were all arranged by someone and they didn't need to worry about it. Now that they heard Zhang Xiaohua ask such a stupid question, they couldn't help but lower the position of Zhang Xiaohua in their hearts by a few notches.

Thus, Zhang Xiaohua's already bad image became even worse. The other youngsters all distanced themselves from him as if he wasn't in the same group as them.

Team Leader Chang didn't know his background. Looking at the strange gazes around him, he still braced himself and said, "Well, in a while, you can eat with us. I'm not too sure about your arrangements. If Steward Xu comes to look for you later, you can make other plans."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, his eyes lit up. He moved closer to Team Leader Chang and asked, "Then what are our standards?

Is there red braised pork?

I ate first class meals at Huan Xi Mountain Manor. Our Misty School shouldn't be worse than them right? "

When Team Leader Chang heard this, he quickly distanced himself from him as if he wasn't familiar with him. He coughed twice and said, "Well, I don't know what's the difference between this and your Huan Xi Mountain Manor's first class meals. As for this red braised pork, I'm not sure if it was prepared today. We usually don't eat much of it."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little disappointed and said, "You actually don't eat much red braised pork.

Seems like the standards aren't high. "

Team Leader Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "That stuff is too greasy and it's easy to gain weight. It will affect the figure so we don't eat much."

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood and nodded, "So it's like that.

But the red braised pork is very fragrant and is more delicious than the others. "

However, Team Leader Chang didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to him about this. He called Team Leader Li and the other disciples to pack up and leave.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have thought of something and quickly walked in front of Team Leader Chang and asked, "Team Leader Chang, can I ask you one more thing?"

Team Leader Chang took a step back and asked hesitantly, "Say it and see if I can answer."

Zhang Xiaohua said mysteriously, "For people like us who came from outside to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition, can we walk around freely in the Misty School? Or if I want to go to other places to find familiar people, is that okay?"

Captain Chang looked at Zhang Xiaohua's mysterious appearance and asked such a question. He almost vomited blood. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Well, I really don't know. Why don't you wait a moment? I'll send someone over to ask."

After saying that, he waved his hand to a child who had competed with Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Mu Mu, quickly go find Steward Xu and tell him about the problem of number 705. See how to deal with it."

The child agreed and skipped away.

Not long after, he came back and said, "Steward Xu said that we can walk around freely in the Misty School. However, we can't go to some forbidden areas. There are also some places guarded by guards that are not allowed to enter. Also, we can't force our way in. In addition, the three people who came from outside to participate in the competition have already arranged accommodation. It's best to stay in the sect at night and rest early so that you can participate in tomorrow's competition on time."

Team Leader Chang nodded and turned to ask, "Two hundred and fifty, do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I understand, Team Leader Chang. Then I'll go find someone."

Team Leader Chang was bursting with joy and said, "What?

You're not going to eat first?

Let's eat first. "

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "Let's find someone first. Oh right, where does Sect Leader Ou's direct disciple live?"

Team Leader Chang was startled and secretly thought, "See, I told you that there was something fishy going on. It was just as I expected.

Fortunately, I didn't offend him just now. "

Thus, Team Leader Chang used an abnormally amiable voice and explained the route in detail.

Zhang Xiaohua waited until she understood everything before bowing and taking her leave.

Watching Zhang Xiaohua's departing figure, Team Leader Chang also let out a long sigh. The trouble had finally left on its own.

At this time, the sky was already completely dark. However, the Misty School was still brightly lit. Many people were walking around in twos and threes. They were all excitedly talking about interesting news and experiences from the competition.

Although Team Leader Chang gave a very detailed description of Zhang Xiaohu's residence, he couldn't stand up to Zhang Xiaohua's poor sense of direction. In less than a moment, she lost her way and didn't know where to go.

However, the Misty School didn't lack warm-hearted people. Especially when they heard that Zhang Xiaohua was going to the direct disciple's residence, many people volunteered to personally send Zhang Xiaohua there. Zhang Xiaohua was covered in goosebumps from their attentiveness. She thought of the situation her second brother was in last time and hurriedly rejected countless people's good intentions. She expressed that she didn't dare to disturb their fun during dinner and that she would go alone as long as she told them the directions.

Thus, under the resentful gazes of countless people and the helpless feeling of being rejected, Zhang Xiaohua took one step at a time and finally arrived near Zhang Xiaohu's residence.

However, at this time, a group of female disciples walked towards her. Wasn't the one at the front of the group Mingcui Hall's Aunt Qin and Hall Master Qin?

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were sharp and she had already seen them. She couldn't help but feel happy. She raised her hand and called out, "Big Sister Qin, Big Sister Qin."

Aunt Qin led a group of young female disciples and was surrounded by the fiery gazes of male disciples. Naturally, she didn't notice Zhang Xiaohua among the countless people. At this time, when she heard someone call her, she was secretly puzzled: "Who has the guts to call me that?"

When she saw the small and thin figure in the crowd, she was pleasantly surprised. "Zhang Xiaohua, why are you here?"

Zhang Xiaohua walked forward and bowed. "I'm here to participate in the martial arts competition."

Aunt Qin was surprised and asked, "You're not a disciple of our Misty School. How can you participate in the martial arts competition?

Could it be that you can also advance? "

Zhang Xiaohua explained the situation in detail. Only then did Aunt Qin understand. She said, "I really don't know about this. However, the martial arts competition has already been held for a day. How are your results?

Even if you're only at the first rank of commoner clothing, the martial arts of those youths are still extremely powerful. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she shrugged and shook her head slightly.

When Aunt Qin saw this, she naturally knew that her results weren't good. She hurriedly comforted her. "Zhang Xiaohua, it's okay. If you lose, you lose. Just treat it as coming to see the world.

Oh, right. What are you doing now?

Where are you going? "

When she heard that Zhang Xiaohua wanted to find Zhang Xiaohu, she smiled and said to a female disciple behind her, "Changge, you know Zhang Xiaohua. Bring Zhang Xiaohua over. Don't let him find the wrong place again."

That female disciple walked out of the crowd and looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a strange gaze.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard that someone else knew her, she was surprised. When Changge walked out of the crowd of female disciples, she frowned slightly. Then she relaxed and said with a smile, "Yes, I know Elder Sister Changge. Aren't we just going together …"

Aunt Qin didn't wait for Zhang Xiaohua to finish and immediately interrupted her. "It's good that you know Changge. Let her take you so you don't get lost again."

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said with a double meaning, "I know, Elder Sister Qin."

Afterwards, she bid farewell to Aunt Qin and was led by Changge to Zhang Xiaohu's residence.

Along the way, Changge was very curious about how Zhang Xiaohua had killed the black-clothed old man. After all, she had personally experienced that person's power and saw Zhang Xiaohua kill him with her own eyes. Ever since they returned from the south, the news of Ou Yan down south had been strictly sealed. Even the news of Zhang Xiaohua coming back alive was only later found out by Changge.

She had always been very curious about what kind of unique skills Zhang Xiaohua had that she wasn't afraid of the black-clothed old man's Iron Shirt and Light Golden Palm.

Today was such a coincidence that she was caught red-handed. How could she let Zhang Xiaohua go? Like a curious child, she asked this and that.

Zhang Xiaohua had gone down south with her. Although they hadn't talked, they could be considered to have gone through trials and tribulations together. There was no need to keep Zhang Xiaohua's matters a secret from her. Thus, Zhang Xiaohua told her in full detail about what she had said and done with Elder Yu that day.

Changge still didn't believe her. She opened her big round eyes and asked, "Is it really that simple?

It was that person's negligence. "

Zhang Xiaohua had an expression that said "I knew you wouldn't believe me." She said, "It was originally like this. If I was powerful, I wouldn't have been able to tie three matches in a row today."

"Tie three matches in a row?"

When Changge heard this, she laughed out loud and said, "You're really good. When I was a commoner, I didn't hear of many people tying three matches in a row."

As she spoke, Changge suddenly said, "Aiya, I was just talking to you. Aren't we already here? This is where the direct disciples live. Do you know where your second brother lives?

If you don't know, we'll have to find someone to ask. "

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "There's a small tree in front of my second brother's courtyard.

Look, that should be it. I came here once during the day, so I still have a bit of an impression of it. "

After saying this, Zhang Xiaohua led Changge to Zhang Xiaohu's courtyard. She smiled and pointed at the small tree, saying, "It's this small tree. There's no mistake. I can't recognize the road, but I still have an impression of the tree."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaohua walked up and knocked on the door.

It was still quiet inside. Changge said in a small voice, "Could it be that your second brother isn't here?

Today is the day of my Misty School's martial arts practice. He must have gone somewhere to watch the fun. Or perhaps the Sect Leader had something to do and let him go. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't know about this, right? Elder Sister Changge, watch me."

After saying this, she stopped knocking on the door. Instead, she pointed her mouth at the crack of the door and sang loudly, "Zhang Xiaohu, oh Zhang Xiaohu, your younger brother is Zhang Xiaohua. He asked me to ask you, are you still in the courtyard? Are you in the courtyard?"

As soon as she finished singing, the door opened with a "creak." A joyful voice came from inside, "Xiaohua, is that you?

Why did you come at this time? "

Wasn't it Zhang Xiaohu who walked out of the door?

Zhang Xiaohu saw that the person in front of him was his younger brother. He was very surprised. He walked over and rubbed his head, saying, "Why did you come here now?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with grievance, "Don't keep rubbing my head. It'll affect my growth.

By the way, I didn't come here alone. "

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohu was surprised. He raised his head and looked outside, asking, "Who else is there?

Is it Li Jinfeng, Young Master Li? "
