After returning from Taiyue City, Wu Qing's attitude changed drastically, which made Fang Yuan somewhat undisturbed.
Even though I have read a lot of poems and books, at this time I also have a thorny feeling that I don't know how to deal with it.
Subconsciously, he felt that he should be polite to Wu Qing, just like everyone else, but after being polite, Wu Qing's aggressive feeling gave him a headache. In this kind of thing, although he has never experienced it The young child in the flowers, but also vaguely realized that when encountering this kind of thing, it is better to put it aside, otherwise there will be disputes...
Nowadays, he doesn’t have enough time to practice, and he has no intention of flirting with women!
It's a pity that although he didn't want to mess with the flowers, the grass stuck to his body, but Wu Qing chased after him and said anxiously: "Brother Fang Yuan, why have you been avoiding me? I am so good to you, you Are you not moved at all?"
Fang Yuan had no choice but to stand still and said, "Thank you so much, Junior Sister Wu Qing, for your kindness, but Fang Yuan really can't afford it!"
After that, he bowed deeply and walked around her again to leave.
When Wu Qing heard this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. After all, she was not really a fool. How could she not understand Fang Yuan's intentions? She thought that relying on her family background and With his appearance, when he could keep his face low, it wouldn't be a problem to take down Fang Yuan. But seeing that he was a bit out of luck now, a surge of anger rose in his heart!
"Fang Yuan, stop!"
Seeing that Fang Yuan really wanted to leave, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Um?"
Fang Yuan frowned and turned around, his expression somewhat relaxed.
He thought Wu Qing would get angry, scold him and leave, but he didn't expect that Wu Qing took a few steps to catch up, but just looked him up and down coldly, and then sneered: "Can't you see?" You usually look like you are stupid in studying, but you are actually quite arrogant. That's all. Since you are so ignorant of style, I don't want to make it clear to you. Since I was a child, I have been There's nothing you can't get if you like it, just tell me how you can put away your indifferent face!"
Fang Yuan was choked by these words and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Wu Qing saw it, but thought he was hesitating, and sneered: "I know you men are like this, you always like to put on airs, but your skills are really not weak, and you are qualified to put on airs. Besides, I really didn't treat you well before. Very good, it’s okay to let you lose your temper twice, but I hope you understand that there are so many people who love this girl, you’d better not be too ignorant... "
Only then did Fang Yuan catch his breath, pondered for a long time, and said bluntly: "Junior sister Wu Qing, before the battle of Taiyue City, you looked down on me, and I didn't like you either. Although during the battle of Taiyue City, We cooperated once, and I saved your life. But after you come back to the mountain, speak for me, and we are even. I think that in the immortal sect, cultivation is the most important thing, and it is better for everyone to find peace. The grudges between you and me will be settled from today on, and you won’t come looking for me again, okay?”
He thought to himself, this should be clear enough, right
But when Wu Qing heard this, he sneered and said: "Who told you that cultivation is the most important among the immortal sects? Now that you are still so stubborn, I might as well tell you more clearly, do you know You know, I am actually from the Wu family in Jiangcheng. My great-grandfather is the great foundation-building practitioner in Jiangcheng. I have already told my great-grandfather about our affairs, and he also likes it very much. If you give in, Please ask me a few words, and I can ask my great-great-grandfather to give you some guidance, so that you can hopefully win the position of True Successor in the Immortal Sect..."
Before she could finish her words, Fang Yuan said categorically: "It's okay if you don't want such a true biography!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands again and said seriously: "Don't chase me again, thank you!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode forward.
Wu Qing shouted angrily behind him: "You will definitely regret it and come back to beg me!"
Fang Yuan didn't look back, but he smiled helplessly in his heart...
Some people would actually choose me to be a pretty boy who eats free rice. That really... does it mean that I'm not bad looking
Thinking about it slowly, he returned to his small building, drank a cup of tea, and went out with a volume of books. He was worried that Wu Qingdai would come again and disturb his reading mood, so he simply went I went to the bamboo forest and sat on the bluestone to watch.
"The bamboos are blowing in the wind and the mountain breeze is pleasant. Senior Brother Fang Yuan is so comfortable. I am really enviable!"
I was just immersed in reading a book, but suddenly I heard someone next to me laughing.
Fang Yuan hurriedly turned his head, only to find that it was Junior Sister Xiao Qiao, and he was relieved.
"Is Senior Brother Fang Yuan hiding from someone?"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao wore a light yellow shirt, held an emerald green porcelain vase in her arms, with a bouquet of wild flowers in it, held her gold-embroidered shoes in her hands, and walked barefoot along the stream. He came over. It seemed that he had just come back from picking flowers. He approached Fang Yuan and sat down on the rock next to him. He turned to look at him with a narrow smile in his eyes.
"Um, no, no, it's quiet here to study!"
Fang Yuan smiled awkwardly. After all, Wu Qing's matter was not easy to tell others.
"Hey, I just saw Senior Sister Wu Qing wandering in front of Senior Brother Fang Yuan's building. Do you want me to call her over?"
Xiao Qiao looked like he understood everything and said with a smile.
"Hey, your feet are quite white..."
Fang Yuan deliberately changed the subject angrily, stared at Junior Sister Xiao Qiao's bare feet and praised her.
"Huh, you have a good idea!"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao's face suddenly turned red, she hid her white and tender feet in the stream, turned her head and said nothing.
Fang Yuan smiled. If she didn't speak, then he wouldn't speak either. He lowered his head and continued reading.
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao waited for a while, but when she saw that he didn't speak, she couldn't help it. She turned her head again, looked at Fang Yuan with a half-smile, and said, "Senior Brother Fang Yuan, don't be too busy reading. I'll I just want to ask you something, how have you considered the things I discussed with you before?"
Fang Yuan was suddenly startled: "What's the problem?"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Of course it's about joining our chess club!"
Only then did Fang Yuan realize. In this immortal sect, it is popular for disciples to form small groups such as poetry clubs and sword alliances to help each other and stay together. Junior Sister Xiao Qiao is no exception. She once asked Fang Yuan He said that he was a member of some chess club, and wanted to invite Fang Yuan to join at that time. However, Fang Yuan didn't like these things, so he refused several times. Later, he became less and less valued in the Immortal Sect, and neither did Junior Sister Xiao Qiao. I mentioned it again, I thought this article had already been exposed, but I didn’t expect that she would bring it up again at this time!
"Didn't I say it before? I'm not interested in these things. In the Immortal Sect, cultivation is the most important thing!"
Fang Yuan smiled and refused casually.
In the past, Junior Sister Xiao Qiao would not say anything more after Fang Yuan refused, but this time there was something different.
"Who told you that cultivation is the most important among immortals?"
She glanced at Fang Yuan with a smile, and sighed softly: "Senior brother Fang Yuan doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window, and he only reads the books of saints. I admire him, but you want to be alone in the immortal sect, but you don't see it either. It’s an easy thing. We are no longer just children who have just entered the Immortal Sect. We have to pass on the Immortal Sect’s inheritance and stay in the Immortal Sect. Even if we are the inner disciples, we have to earn resources and kill demons. To make meritorious deeds for the Immortal Sect, which one can be done easily and normally, but how can it be done if there is no one to help?"
"In the Immortal Sect, practice is not important, so what else is important?"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but be startled after hearing what Junior Sister Xiao Qiao said, feeling that the words sounded familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Wu Qing had also said something like this.
This is a bit curious. The temperaments of these two people are so different. Why do they have the same attitude on this matter
"Senior Brother Fang Yuan, now that you are ranked first on the merit list, are you interested in competing for the position of True Successor?"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao did not answer directly, but asked with a smile.
In front of Xiao Qiao, Fang Yuan had no need to hide his thoughts and just nodded lightly.
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao immediately laughed, shook the water off her feet, put on her shoes, hugged her knees and sat on the bluestone, and said with a smile: "Practice is naturally very important. If it weren't for Fang Yuan this time, Senior brother, you have worked hard in cultivation and have enough skills. I am afraid that we will all die on Woniu Mountain. It is precisely because of your hard work in cultivation that you are now ranked first on the merit list and competing for the position of true successor. Big advantage, but what I want to say is that if Senior Brother Fang Yuan only relies on his cultivation and hard work, he wants to compete for the position of true successor, but he is still a little short of success. That position cannot be obtained by cultivation alone... "
After a pause, he looked at Fang Yuan and said: "Considering the current situation, there are quite a few people who are eyeing the position of the True Successor, including Xiao Yuanzhi, Tai Hezhen, Wang Kun, Li Jianghan, and even Qi Xiaofeng and I both had the confidence to compete for the position of True Successor, but Senior Brother Fang Yuan, do you think we are the ones with the highest level of cultivation?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily that you are not weak, but there are others who are not weaker than you. Among the Qingyang Xiaoqizi, there were a few who were very popular at the beginning. But now there is no trace of that person on the merit list!”
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao nodded and said, "That's the reason!"
"The true inheritance is to select the strongest disciple among this generation and train him carefully!"
"But the word "strongest" is not so easy to determine. Those with higher cultivation levels may not necessarily have good mastery of spells. Those with good mastery of spells may not have strong enough willpower. Moreover, the person with the highest cultivation level now will not be able to master spells well in the future. But it does not necessarily mean that the person with the greatest potential will be the strongest in the future, and the person who is weak now may not be the weak in the future, so the word 'strongest' itself is a bit illusory... "
"In this way, if the Immortal Sect wants to choose the strongest person, it can only judge it through the number of merits..."
"But the number of merits depends on the level and quantity of the personal Talisman Edict completed. It is still possible to complete the fourth-level Talisman Edict by yourself, but to do the third-level Talisman Edict, it is best to find a few more people to go with you. Otherwise, the danger would be too great. Even you, this time on Woniu Mountain, without the help of a few of us, would you be somewhat sure that you could kill that cunning monster?"
After hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded.
He also knew in his heart that he alone could not kill that monster!
"What I just said is just the simplest point. In fact, the position of true successor is very important, affects the interests of too many people, and attracts the attention of too many people. Therefore, if we really want to compete for the position of true successor, there is no corresponding Connections and backgrounds are absolutely impossible, and this is one of the reasons why many people who feel that they have insufficient background do not participate in the battle for true inheritance. They themselves realize that this matter is not feasible, so they simply If you keep a low profile, you won’t take a trip into this muddy water..."
When Fang Yuan heard this, he looked at Junior Sister Xiao Qiao with a faint smile: "Actually, what you want to say is that I can't do it myself?"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao helplessly covered her forehead and said with a smile: "Do you have to make it so clear?"
"whispering sound!"
Fang Yuan only said one word to express his disapproval.
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao became serious and said, "Senior Brother Fang Yuan, you are truly one of the most promising people I have ever met. When I first saw you in the bamboo forest outside the Sutra Collection Hall, I knew you would definitely You will stand out from the handymen and become a true disciple of the Immortal Sect. Later, everyone in the Immortal Sect started to spread the legend that you abandoned it in order to practice that lost inheritance. I don’t believe it either. In fact, you also proved my opinion. That's right, whether it's determination, swordsmanship, knowledge, or accumulation, he is the strongest..."
She looked into Fang Yuan's eyes and became more solemn: "This ranking on the merit list also proves that you have a great advantage in competing for the position of true successor, but you also have your own disadvantages. You have always been a loner. , you have no power or background, and although you are very strong, your cultivation level is still too low. If you want to become a true successor, this will be the reason for some people to reject you. Therefore, if you want to become a true successor, you must You need some help, and I want you to join the chess club because... "
Fang Yuan suddenly raised his head: "You want to say that the chess club can help me?"
Xiao Qiao looked up at Fang Yuan and said seriously: "Actually, it's me who the chess club wants to promote to the position of true successor, but I just told the senior sister that I am willing to give this opportunity to you. Compared to me, , you are more suitable and more confident..."
Fang Yuan didn't expect this sentence. He looked at Junior Sister Xiao Qiao seriously for a while and said, "Thank you!"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao smiled brightly and said: "You don't have to be polite. Although I am not bad, to be honest, I really don't have much confidence in competing with those strong men for the position of true successor. I am also worried that the chess club has helped me too much. In the end, they were disappointed and would owe too much. You are different. Although you usually look polite to everyone, I know that you are actually very arrogant in your heart. You don't seem to care about anything. But what you really care about must be obtained. The most important thing is... "
She suddenly glanced at Fang Yuan and said with a smile: "...This was originally yours, so you must want to take it back!"
Fang Yuan was startled when he heard this, and looked at Junior Sister Xiao Qiao in surprise.
This was indeed what he thought in his heart. He had never told anyone about it, and he didn't expect that she could guess it right.
But he still didn't answer in a hurry. By now, he already knew that Junior Sister Xiao Qiao came to him to talk about something. She came with a promise as a lobbyist. If he agreed to join that chess club, that chess club would He will try his best to help him compete for the position of true successor. If you think about the fact that the owner of the chess club is actually a true successor, you can imagine how valuable the promise of this chess club is...
But after thinking about it for a long time, he still shook his head.
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao's face suddenly became a little surprised, and she said in disbelief: "You actually still refuse?"
Fang Yuan said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, I have a good impression of your chess club, especially for giving me this opportunity. I am very grateful. If I have time in the future, I will be happy to play with you." Chess... Forget about Little Pepper, her chess is indeed quite stinky... But thanks is gratitude, forget about joining the chess club, I don’t like it very much&"
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao was a little surprised and said, "Why?"
"Because your chess club is more than just a chess club!"
Fang Yuan smiled and said: "Just now, Wu Qing actually said something similar to me, saying that her family can bring me some help, help me compete for the position of true successor, help me practice, etc. , which is not much different from what you said..."
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao was a little dissatisfied when she heard this and said with a smile: "The Wu family are just frogs in the well..."
"But they all want to help me with something and then take something away!"
Fang Yuan smiled and said: "I don't believe that someone would help me for no reason, and you probably wouldn't deny it, right? If I rely on your power now, I will definitely return something to you in the future, and it will be invisible. With the constraints, although I don't mind making some such exchanges in my heart, it's not that time yet. When I can get rid of the constraints, I still like to be free and at ease by myself. What about cultivation? , it’s supposed to be relaxed and enjoyable, but if it’s too complicated, it’s not good…”
"But… "
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao didn't expect Fang Yuan to say such words. She wanted to refute, but she knew he was telling the truth.
She wanted to say that although Fang Yuan could be free from restraints, the result would definitely be failure...
But before she said these words, Fang Yuan stood up with a smile, looked back at her and said, "There is a more important reason..."
Junior Sister Xiao Qiao had no choice but to take back her words and raised her head to look at him.
Fang Yuan smiled at Junior Sister Xiao Qiao, stretched out and said, "You are right, I really want to become a true successor!"
After a pause, he said: "But the true biography you helped me get back is not my true biography..."
After saying that, he had already put away the book and walked slowly down the hillside.
I, old ghost, vote!
