Chapter 199

Zhang Xiaohua keenly sensed the worry in Zhang Xiaohu's eyes. She smiled and said to He Tianshu, "It's such a simple trick. That dark-skinned guy couldn't even see through it. He must be reciting scriptures all day long. His brain must be damaged."

After saying that, she laughed. He Tianshu also echoed, "Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Hahaha. "

Zhang Xiaohu also laughed softly. His laughter was probably different from He Tianshu's.

The three of them chatted for a long time. The sky gradually darkened. Zhang Xiaohua changed the topic. Her eyes shone with the color of silver. She asked, "Captain He, I won back some face for your Misty School. Even if I didn't do much, I should at least do a little bit of hard work. Do you think Leader Ou will reward me?"

"Reward?"

He Tianshu was stunned. He said, "This, I really didn't think about it. It's said that the contestants with the wild card only have a ranking. There's no reward.

After all, you're not a disciple of our Misty School. How can you be rewarded?

The other disciples are rewarded with martial arts. "

Zhang Xiaohua's face was filled with disappointment as he said, "If I had known earlier, I would have jumped down from the arena myself. I worked myself to death, yet I didn't get any benefits. I even had to worry about being silenced!"

"Silenced?" He Tianshu was stunned. He asked in surprise, "Who?"

Zhang Xiaohua said unhappily, "The Dalin Temple, the old monk Chang Geng, who else?"

"You, you," He Tianshu pointed at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "What are you thinking?

Who told you that? "

Zhang Xiaohua said eloquently, "That's how it's written in Wuxia novels. Anyone who gets in the way and spoils other people's business will be silenced."

He Tianshu smiled helplessly. "What are you talking about?

How can you imagine what's written in novels?

They were all there for the amusement of others.

This was the Dalin Temple's Law Enforcement Elder. What kind of status did he have? Even if today's action was premeditated, why would he put down his pride and deal with a teenager like you just because you won against two low-level disciples?

Would he still want to mingle in the Jianghu in the future?

This is impossible! "

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohua still didn't believe it.

"Really!" He Tianshu patted his chest and said, "I guarantee it on my reputation."

Seeing that her life was saved, Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed this time. She repeatedly said, "It's really good. It's really good."

He didn't seem to care whether He Tianshu's reputation was worth anything or not!

He Tianshu frowned and said, "But …"

Zhang Xiaohua's heart tightened and she hurriedly asked, "But what?

Don't tell me Monk Chang Geng will send someone to kill me? "

He Tianshu smiled and said, "But you'll have two matches today. The first match is the third round of the Martial Arts Exhibition. According to the rules, there won't be any rewards. But your second match won't be a match of the Martial Arts Exhibition. You'll be representing the Misty School in the competition against the Dalin Temple. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm sure Sect Leader Ou will remember your kindness. Maybe …"

Just as he said this, someone knocked on the door. The three of them looked at each other. Zhang Xiaohu asked, "Who are you looking for?

Zhang Xiaohu isn't here. I'm cleaning for him. "

Hearing this strange answer, Zhang Xiaohua and He Tianshu secretly laughed.

However, the person outside didn't seem to be fooled by Zhang Xiaohu's lie. He said sternly, "Zhang Xiaohu, open the door. I'm Zhang Chengyue."

"Oh my." The three of them were shocked. Zhang Xiaohua almost stuck her tongue out.

The three of them hurriedly walked to the door and opened it. When they looked up, it was indeed Zhang Chengyue, the eldest disciple of the Misty School's Sect Leader Ou.

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly went up and bowed, "I didn't know Martial Uncle Zhang was coming. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you."

He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed as well.

Zhang Chengyue looked at the three of them and said, "It's not that you didn't go out to meet me. You didn't want to meet me at all. You even wanted to trick me."

Zhang Xiaohu was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized.

Zhang Chengyue changed his expression and said, "I'm just joking. You're both surnamed Zhang. Five hundred years ago, you were even one family.

No need to be so polite.

I know what happened to you, and so does the Sect Leader. He also knows that you're bluffing. You're not bad, very good. That's what the Sect Leader said. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu's eyes brimmed with tears. He repeatedly said, "Sect Leader is wise, Martial Uncle Zhang is wise."

Zhang Chengyue helped Zhang Xiaohu up and said, "You two brothers performed very well in the arena today. The Sect Leader was very happy. He just sent off the guests from the Dalin Temple and sent me to call you over. Hurry up and come with me. The Sect Leader is still waiting for you in the meeting hall."

Hearing that Sect Leader Ou was still waiting, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare delay. They hurriedly followed Zhang Chengyue to the meeting hall.

Since there was nothing else for He Tianshu to do, he could only return to the pharmacy alone.

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu followed Zhang Chengyue to the meeting hall. There weren't many people in the hall. Ou Peng sat in the chair in the middle. A farmer-like figure sat in the first chair to his left. Zhang Xiaohua felt that he looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him before, but she didn't know his name. On the second chair to his right sat Zhang Xiaohu's master, Wen Wenhai.

The three of them entered the hall. After Zhang Chengyue saluted, he sat in front of Wen Wenhai.

Zhang Xiaohua followed Zhang Xiaohu and saluted the three people in the hall. Needless to say, he called out "Sect Leader Ou" with great respect. When Zhang Xiaohua heard Zhang Xiaohu call the farmer-looking man "Elder Hu", she was puzzled. What kind of world was this? How could a farmer-looking man be an elder?

However, he still saluted honestly and called out, "Elder Hu."

When she saluted Wen Wenhai, she could tell that something was different. Her greeting of "Hero Wen" was exceptionally sweet.

Everyone in the hall could tell the difference. They all laughed in their hearts.

Naturally, there was no place for Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua in the meeting hall. They could only stand and talk.

Ou Peng first looked at Zhang Xiaohu. His heart was filled with joy. He said, "Zhang Xiaohu, you're very good. Really good."

Although Zhang Xiaohu had heard these words from Ou Peng before, when he heard it from Ou Peng's mouth, it was as if all the grievances he had suffered over the past month were gushing out of his chest. He couldn't say anything. Only tears flowed down his cheeks like a river.

Wen Wenhai watched from the side. He also felt a little sad.

Ou Peng didn't say anything else. He waited for Zhang Xiaohu to calm down before opening his mouth. "You've been in the sect for over a month, but you've been left aside. I don't need to tell you the reason.

However, there's no lack of testing you. As my direct disciple, you're not only tested in martial arts, but also in the ways of the world. You're not Chengyue's disciple. You don't care about fame and fortune. In Jianghu, martial arts is the absolute right to speak. If you only relied on connections to form your own clique and manage your own little mountain, how could I be at ease letting Ah Hai teach you the divine martial arts of the sect?

Fortunately, you've been tested. You're able to endure loneliness. This is the potential to become a martial arts expert. "

Ou Peng paused for a moment. He continued, "Actually, your master has been racking his brains for you. I'm also hesitating. However, your performance on the arena today was really refreshing. I admit that I've overlooked your potential and cared too much about your age. Looking at your potential, it's not much worse than that of Yuan Xing from the Dalin Temple. You might even be better. Since the Dalin Temple doesn't stick to the rules, how can we, the Misty School, stick to the rules?

Only set our sights on young disciples? "

Hearing this, Wen Wenhai said, "Zhang Xiaohu, why aren't you thanking Big Sect Leader?"

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said, "Thank you Big Sect Leader for your help."

Ou Peng smiled, "You don't have to be like this. The opportunity is right in front of you. You have to rely on yourself to grasp it. You have to rely on yourself to cultivate. Our Misty School's core internal strength cultivation method is meant for people to cultivate. If you have the potential and fate to cultivate it to Dacheng, it won't only be your personal glory, it will also be our Misty School's achievement."

Speaking till here, Ou Peng sighed slightly and said, "However, I also want to tell you the truth. This Inner Strength Mental Cultivation Method, in our Ethereal Sect, we don't know how many talented people have practiced it, but only a few have been able to practice it successfully. Even for me, it was only by chance that I was able to practice it successfully. As for the reason behind it, there's no need to go into detail now. I just want to ask you, are you willing to choose this' Ethereal Divine Skill '?

Do you want to cultivate this core internal strength cultivation method, or do you want to choose another one? "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu didn't say anything. However, Zhang Xiaohua silently cursed in her heart. She thought to herself, "What's wrong with Big Sect Leader Ou?

Just the name of this' Ethereal Divine Art 'alone sounds amazing. Anyone who chooses it will choose it. Why would there be any other distracting thoughts? "

In fact, only someone like Zhang Xiaohua, who had a pure mind and wholeheartedly focused on martial arts, would have such thoughts. She felt that this question was really stupid.

However, if it was someone else, they would think that although this core internal strength cultivation method was amazing, if it couldn't be cultivated to Dacheng, then how could it be called a divine art? It wouldn't bring any benefits to them. Even if they chose another core internal strength cultivation method, if they could cultivate it to Dacheng, then their martial arts strength wouldn't be just a little bit stronger. Comparing the two, there would naturally be other considerations!

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaohu was just like Zhang Xiaohua. He only chose the most ideal and didn't want the most practical. He didn't hesitate and resolutely said, "Reporting to Big Sect Leader, this disciple will choose this' Ethereal Divine Art '. This disciple will definitely cultivate it to Dacheng. Big Sect Leader, please wait and see."

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Good, good, good.

I'm really looking forward to it. "

Wen Wenhai also stood up from the side and said, "Thank you Big Sect Leader for your help."

Ou Peng waved his hand and said, "Haha, can't we do it together?

For more than a month, you've been hovering in front of me almost every day. Don't tell me I don't know what you're thinking?

Forget it, let's hurry back. From tomorrow onwards, I'll teach him the incantation and let him cultivate it. Who knows, maybe one day that Yuan Xing will come looking for him to exchange pointers. We can't lose face. "

Hearing Ou Peng's words, Zhang Xiaohu finally understood his master's painstaking efforts. His eyes became even more moist.
