Chapter 77: growing up

"Red line!" The remaining man yelled.

"I'll fight with you." He roared, and his whole body turned into a shooting star and charged toward Shan Wanshui with a sword in hand.

Looking at the posture, it looks a bit like that Long Wanli, but the momentum is far worse.

A flash of saber light flashed, and the big man stood holding the saber: "It's only six moves."

Then he laughed again.

The big man's sword is not as fancy as the others. Every move is as powerful and fast as lightning, but it makes them unable to even parry.

"General Zhonglang is mighty." There was a burst of applause from the sidelines. The deaths of three people, without the slightest fluctuation in the hearts of others, have long been commonplace.

Ren Baqian watched helplessly as the three of them died in an instant. One was split in half from the middle, one was cut in half, and the other was split diagonally from shoulder to waist.

Blood and visceral remains were spilled all over the floor.

Such a cruel scene made Ren Baqian feel chills in his heart, and at the same time his stomach turned upside down.

The last time Long Wanli challenged the Empress, he was directly thrown into the ground with just one move. By the time Steward Shi poked him with an electric baton and was able to move, the square had already begun to fill in the pits.

In addition, at that time, the two sides decided the victory with one sword and one palm. Ren Baqian didn't see clearly the duel between the two sides, but only saw the back of Long Wanli going forward.

Although it was regrettable to know that he had died later, Ren Baqian was more excited about seeing a real master duel.

But at this moment, what Ren Baqian saw was Chi Guoguo's bloody fight.

The shock in his heart, as well as the intuitive feeling of the barbaric blood, was far from comparable to last time, and it could even be said that he had never felt it in this life.

He always felt that death was far away from him. Even though he almost lost his head when he first came to this world, he survived it safely in the end. This made him, who rarely saw death, feel alienated from death.

However, this time was different, the brutal fight happened right in front of our eyes.

Let him discover that the world is far crueler than he has always seen.

When Ren Baqian stood there with a blank mind, the sergeants on the sidelines had already started to clean up. They dug a hole under the shattered stone slab, threw all the stumped limbs and broken arms into it, and then began to fill in the soil. It didn't take long to fill it all up, and the rest was for the mason to install another stone slab.

When the sergeants left, all the onlookers dispersed, leaving only Ren Baqian standing there with cold hands and feet.

After a long time, Ren Baqian returned to the beast garden with heavy steps.

Rolling and Licking had already fallen asleep on the slate.

Ren Baqian threw his head on the bed, his head was in a mess, and pictures were always flashing in his mind.

Suddenly, a horrific scene of one day, like the three of them, flashed through his mind. That scene made him feel suffocated, and he suddenly sat up from the bed.

That effort made him break out in a cold sweat.

"No, no matter what, I can't become like that, become like those three people." Ren Baqian muttered to himself.

"This is not the earth, but a different world. It is not as safe as the earth, and human life is not so precious."

"I can't just dawdle like this in the future. I have to work harder and take the initiative to climb up."

"I'm only safe if I'm so high up that no one else can move."

"The higher my position, the stronger the importance, the safer I am, and the farther away I am from the threat of death."

"I am backed by a civilized world that is much higher than here. How could I go on like this and leave my life in the hands of others."

"If possible, I want to become stronger."

Countless thoughts flashed through Ren Baqian's mind in a mess, and finally merged into one, becoming stronger, having a higher position, and making himself safer, so that he can live well in this world.

Although I had this idea before, it has never been so clear, so firm, and so real.

As a young man who still had fantasies from time to time, an ordinary person, the other side of this world suddenly appeared and shattered him to pieces.

He felt that what he had been working hard and doing before was really too little. Far from enough. Especially after he lifted his survival crisis and stood firm, he actually started to relax.

I see such a world as too simple.

I don't know how long he thought about it over and over before he fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, he was awakened as soon as the door was knocked.

He didn't sleep well that night. Everything in the arena, even after falling asleep last night, came to his mind from time to time, forming dreams one after another.

When I woke up, I found myself sweating.

Picking up a bowl of water and pouring it down, Ren Baqian got up and pushed open the door, only to see Guanshi Shi outside.

"Why is your face so pale?" Steward Shi glanced at Ren Baqian and asked curiously.

"Maybe I got a little cold last night."

"Your physique is too weak." Steward Shi laughed boldly.

"The imperial dining room said, let you go there when you have time these days."

Ren Baqian nodded: "I see. I'll go as soon as I'm done with Honglu Division today."

"Brother Ren, you can arrange to come here." Steward Shi waved at him, and left with a sway.

Ren Baqian watched Steward Shi's back and left. Steward Shi still treated him as before, but he felt something was different. It's my mood that is different.

The ancient people have a tender side, a straightforward and lovely side, but also a cruel side. This is what he just felt.

After washing, pick up the official uniform, this is the foundation of my life.

After getting dressed and leaving the animal garden, I still felt the bloody smell in the air around me when I passed the square.

But he didn't show the slightest strange color again.

When I arrived at Honglu Division, I picked up the "Three Hundred Song Poems" and continued to recite.

Tired after reciting for a while, I went to the backyard to see some people from Honglu Division practicing martial arts there. Xiong Shi was still playing with his two or three-ton stone.

No one came to Honglu Division all day, Young Master Kongkong and Ning Caichen who had arrived before were fine, Ren Baqian was happy to stay in the room.

In the afternoon, I thought it was almost time, so I said hello and went straight to the imperial dining room in the palace.

When Ren Baqian arrived, the imperial dining room had just delivered dinner to the Empress, and everyone was sitting there resting, and greeted Ren Baqian one after another.

"Brother Ren!" The shouts of "Brother Ren" joined together.

Ren Baqian smiled, "Where's Guan Guan?"

"I'm delivering dinner to His Majesty, and I'll be back soon." Someone said immediately.

Ren Baqian nodded. "You're looking for me for His Majesty's birthday party?"

"Brother Ren, it's like this. Steward Gou hopes that you can participate in making some dishes. After all, we are just familiar with your seasonings. At this time, His Majesty's birthday celebration is just around the corner, so we don't have time to try it slowly."

Ren Baqian nodded, found a place to sit down, and waited for Manager Gou to come back.

Not long after, Guan Shi came back and saw Ren Baqian, his face twitched for a long time, and he called out: "Brother Ren".

"Forget it, call me Ren Lecturer from now on, that's my position in the palace now." Ren Baqian waved his hand and said, "It's embarrassing enough for you, and I won't embarrass you either."

Unexpectedly, Manager Gou stared at him: "Do you think I, Gou, am someone who doesn't count?"
