Night falls.
The lanterns along the Chunshui River were lit up one by one again. The restaurants were bustling with people drinking and chatting. Tomorrow was the Banquet of the Hundred Heroes, the grandest banquet of the Heroes Conference. All the wealthy families and sects would appear at the banquet. The host of this banquet, the Wang family, claimed to announce a big event. The far-sighted people in the martial arts world had probably guessed what the so-called big event was. What they needed to wait for was how the other big sects would react to the announcement of the Wang family. Before tomorrow came, they would naturally enjoy themselves.
"Most of the martial arts sects don't have much opinion on who rules the martial arts world. On the contrary, if there is no one to rule the martial arts world, these small sects will become more and more uneasy." The man in green clothes walked along the long street waving his folding fan, nodding to people from time to time, "Since the era of Shanglin Tiangong has come to an end, it is a good thing for them that the Wang family is willing to stand up now."
"If there is no one to rule the martial arts world, it will fall into a long-term chaos. The big sects will swallow up the small sects, and then be swallowed up by the big sects. It will be endless and there will be no peace all day long." Nangong Xier understood what Qing Yilang meant, but was still a little confused. "So what the Wang family did is good?"
"Of course not. The Wang family overlooked one thing. It's a good thing for someone to take charge of the martial arts world, but there is a prerequisite, the sect needs to be strong enough. And the Wang family—" The man in green waved his finger, "No."
"The number one in the world is dead, the number two in the world is missing, and my second senior brother has been gone for many years. Is it still not enough for the Wang family to have a gun saint?" Nangong Xier asked.
"First of all, Teacher Tianwu's Tianwu List does not include all the masters in the world. Many masters refused to be evaluated in the Tianwu List, such as Bai Jile, Daojun and Mr. Rusheng. Secondly, no matter how strong the spear saint Wang Yi is, he is just a martial artist. He is different from Su Han. Su Han is seeking a new era of the world, while Wang Yi only wants to be the best in the world. So I said that the Wang family is not good enough." The man in green clothes said with some disdain in his tone.
"What about Wang Ruoxu? How is he?" asked Nangong Xier.
"Although I hate Wang Ruoxu, I have to admit that he is a very resourceful person. He is the third child in the previous generation and was born to the second wife. He has two older brothers from the first wife. The position of the head of the family had nothing to do with him. But in the end, he was the one who took the throne. The two older brothers willingly gave up their positions. As for martial arts, he and Dongfang Yun are on par with each other. But it's not enough." The man in blue became very serious. "So I wonder if the Wang family is hiding some trump card. Otherwise, with Wang Ruoxu's character, he would not take this risk at this time!"
As the two were talking, they passed by a restaurant.
"Senior Sister." Su Baiyi was originally discussing the mask with Su Jian, but at this moment his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It seems like this is fate." Su Jian shook his head, "In that case, why don't we play a game?"
"What game?" Su Baiyi asked.
"You and I will go out now and meet your senior sister face to face. You don't say a word and see if she can recognize you." Su Jian reached out and pressed his hat, preparing to get up.
"What if you can recognize it?" Su Baiyi asked again.
"I agree to your marriage." Su Jian stood up and said.
"Who the hell are you? Do I need your consent?" Su Baiyi said dissatisfiedly.
"Stand up!" Su Jian grabbed Su Baiyi's shoulders, leaped to the other end of the long street, and then walked slowly towards the other side. Nangong Xier and Qingyilang were unaware of this and were still discussing the matter of the Hundred Heroes Banquet tomorrow.
"All the members of our Xie family have arrived today and have checked into Xunan Inn. Cousin, you are also a member of our Xie family, do you want to go and meet them?" asked the man in green.
Nangong Xier thought about it and shook her head. Although she and Xie Kanhua had already met as father and daughter, after returning to the academy, when she and Xie Kanhua asked why Xie Kanhua did not come to find them if he was not dead, Xie Kanhua did not answer, so their relationship has not eased to this day.
"Well. It seems that Uncle Seventh is determined not to have anything to do with our Xie family anymore." The man in green sighed.
As they were talking, Su Jian was already walking towards them with Su Baiyi. The man in green glanced at Su Jian and said calmly, "There are still people wearing bamboo hats at night." He didn't even look at the Su Baiyi who had changed his appearance. Nangong Xier glanced at him, but was suddenly stunned, and jumped in front of Su Baiyi.
"Su Baiyi!" Nangong Xier shouted in a low voice.
The man in green hurriedly followed Nangong Xier and looked at the person in front of her: "This is not Su Baiyi, you recognized the wrong person, right?"
"Girl, you've got the wrong person." Su Jian said in a deep voice.
"Su Baiyi, why did you become like this?" Nangong Xier frowned.
Su Baiyi opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.
"Could it be that someone has disguised him?" The man in green reached out and touched Su Baiyi's face with some suspicion, then shook his head and said, "He is not wearing a human skin mask. This is his true appearance. This is not Su Baiyi. Cousin, you have recognized the wrong person."
"Let him go!" Nangong Xier realized that Su Jian's hand was on Su Baiyi's shoulder, and the sword in her hand was immediately unsheathed, heading straight for Su Jian's palm.
During the day, she and Wang Buyu fought with swords, and they fought for dozens of rounds but she was reluctant to use her sword.
But this time, she swung the sword without any hesitation.
"Good swordsmanship." Su Jian immediately loosened his palm and moved aside.
Su Baiyi broke free from the control and immediately said, "Senior Sister, it's me, how did you recognize me?"
"You look like that, do you still need to recognize me? Come with me!" Nangong Xier stretched out her hand to grab Su Baiyi.
"What's the hurry?" Su Jian flashed over again, and with a flick of his feet, he jumped onto the eaves next to him with Su Baiyi. Nangong Xier drew her sword and tried to chase him, but the man in blue grabbed her sleeve and said, "This man is the old man we met in Qingge Tower that day."
"The little girl has good eyesight. You can still recognize this boy at a glance even though he has become like this. Okay, I agree." Su Jian said with a smile.
"What do you agree to?" Nangong Xier asked.
"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll make trouble tomorrow." Su Baiyi threatened in a low voice.
"No rush, we will see each other again tomorrow. I will give you a chance then. It depends on whether you can take this kid away from me." After saying that, Su Jian turned around and left again with Su Baiyi.
"Since you said there will be a chance tomorrow." The man in green clothes quickly held Nangong Xier down, "Then tomorrow, I will let our entire Xie family come to help you! Now is not the right time!"
Nangong Xier gritted her teeth, but still resisted the urge to chase after him.
