On the day of the Gate of All Living Things incident, the Elders and disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect didn't come down from the Cloud Wave Boat.
They traveled thousands of miles from the Eastern Border Region to this place to slap the Lingjian School's face. At first, they were complacent and full of confidence. As a result, they made a big fool of themselves in the welcoming ceremony, losing their footing and becoming a delinquent teenager. That night, they suffered a crushing defeat in a competition that should've been in their grasp. It could be said that it was so dark that they couldn't even see their own fingers in front of them. When the Gate of All Living Things was activated, the Elders tried to reverse the unfavorable situation. However, not only did they not succeed, their morale became even lower. When Wang Lu performed his brilliant performance in the Gate of All Living Things, even the Eldest Brother of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Zhan Ziye, didn't have the confidence to face this weirdo, let alone the others.
That night, the people of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect spent the night on the Cloud Wave Boat. Because they really didn't know what kind of face they should use to set foot on the land of the Spirit Sword Mountain, they could only sleep peacefully inside the Cloud Wave Boat.
However, the night was long, yet no one slept. The several Elders talked all night long, while the five disciples sighed in their respective cabins outside their respective bedrooms. Their morale was extremely low.
"I still can't figure out how he survived the insect poison." Zhao Jiangyuan indignantly said, "No matter how you think about it, isn't it cheating?"
Lu Qiancai weakly retorted, "He used our Gate of All Living Things, and Master and Martial Uncle were watching over him. Why don't you explain how he cheated?"
Zhao Jiangyuan was speechless, but his face still showed his indignation. After a while, he ingeniously put forward a hypothesis.
"That Wang Lu is so powerful, but is he really just a high-level Qi Cultivating Stage disciple? Damn it, it's very likely that the Lingjian School found an Elder to disguise himself. "
This time, even Ye Feifei couldn't stand it anymore. "Zhao Jiangyuan, are you out of your mind? How could you come up with such an absurd reason?"
"But …"
At this time, the Eldest Brother slowly opened his mouth, "Well, that Wang Lu is indeed powerful, there's nothing to say."
Zhao Jiangyuan tilted his head. "Tch, a high-rank Qi Condensation kid who focuses on crooked ways, how fierce can he be? It's just that he's skilled in some strange and obscene techniques. "
After he said this, no one objected. Whether it was Zhan Ziye, Ye Feifei, or Lu Qiancai, deep in their hearts, they all liked Zhao Jiangyuan's explanation.
Indeed, no matter how brilliant Wang Lu was, it couldn't cover up the flaw of his insufficient cultivation base … Although for the disciples of Ten Thousand Arts Sect who had always been known for their academic ability, using their cultivation base to oppress others was a disgrace in itself. However, at this time, they couldn't care less about it. If they could blacken him, then blacken him!
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I think we should think about this problem from a different perspective."
Amidst the silence, Hai Yunfan suddenly broke the silence, attracting everyone's attention.
As the youngest Junior Brother of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Hai Yunfan didn't have an outstanding performance in cultivation. However, since he was selected by the Sect Elders to join the exchange team, he naturally had the ability to convince the other members of the team.
"I remember when I was in the Immortal Sect, the elders often taught us to look at problems with an open mind. I think it's not just for academics, it's the same for people. As an enemy, Wang Lu is, of course, very annoying, but why do we have to regard him as an enemy? Actually, in theory, our visit to the Lingjian School should be for the friendly exchange, to enhance our friendship. "
Zhao Jiangyuan muttered, "But didn't the Elders say that if there's an opportunity, we should give them a lesson? We're just following the Elders' request, this group of barbarians …"
Hai Yunfan laughed. "Now it seems like we don't have a chance. We've lost three times in a row. Even if we have the upper hand in the academic exchange, so what? Three to one, we'll still lose. "
Zhao Jiangyuan frowned. "Junior Brother, you're just trying to boost the prestige of others."
"Senior Brother, you misunderstood me. I just want to say, since it's very difficult for us to give them a lesson, why don't we simply give up this unrealistic goal? The Elders only told us because of the Shengjing Sect's greeting. Is it necessary for us to implicate ourselves so deeply just for the greeting of a nouveau riche? "
Zhao Jiangyuan's complexion turned bright. "Hearing you say that, my heart suddenly feels a bit better. We really don't need to work ourselves to death for a nouveau riche. "
Hai Yunfan smiled. "Moreover, from an objective point of view as a scholar, Wang Lu is a very powerful person. Perhaps his cultivation base is not high, but his strong point is very dazzling. Rather than blindly insisting on being his enemy, it's better to learn from each other's strong points. I believe that he will also be interested in the uniqueness of our Ten Thousand Arts Sect. "
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, thinking that what Hai Yunfan said was indeed reasonable.
"From another point of view, if Wang Lu is not a disciple of the Lingjian School, but a fellow disciple of our Ten Thousand Arts Sect, don't you guys want to be friends with him?" After a pause, Hai Yunfan added, "I heard that he runs his own force and is very rich."
"Humph, he's also a nouveau riche." Several academic talents responded with disdain. However, Hai Yunfan could see that these people were actually slightly moved. After all, the temptation of being friends with a local tyrant was difficult for even scholars to resist.
Of course, this was not enough. Hai Yunfan pondered for a moment and then threw out his card.
"Moreover, building a good relationship with Wang Lu will help us establish contact with other people in the Lingjian School through him, such as Liu Li, who is also a Successor Disciple."
As Hai Yunfan said that, he was satisfied to see that the attention of his Eldest Brother had been attracted.
"Another example is that gentle and amiable outer court disciple Yue Xinyao."
Very good, Lu Qiancai was attracted.
"Or the petite and lovely inner court disciple Huo Ying."
That's great, even Senior Brother Zhao Jiangyuan turned around!
Hai Yunfan smiled. "Therefore, I think we might as well go find Wang Lu and have a talk tomorrow morning."
"That makes sense!"
"That's right."
"We do need to talk, we do need to talk!"

After coaxing his Senior Brothers to return to their respective rooms to rest, Hai Yunfan was about to turn around and leave when he heard a woman's sigh.
"Junior Brother, it's really hard on you."
Hai Yunfan's figure suddenly stagnated. "Senior Sister?"
"Since we came here, you have been trying to resolve the contradiction, turning the two sides from enemies to friends. This time, you finally got your wish."
Hai Yunfan wryly smiled. "If not for the three Senior Brothers being disheartened, I'm afraid they wouldn't have listened to what I just said. But, Senior Sister is right, I always think that offending Lingjian School just because of a greeting from Shengjing Sect is really not wise. "
Ye Feifei asked, "Are you afraid of Wang Lu?"
Hai Yunfan was silent for a moment, and then frankly said, "Senior Sister, you also know that in the past, I participated in the Lingjian School's Immortal Gathering. Later on, I was fortunate enough to be recommended by the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. On the Immortal Path, I have seen the fierceness of Wang Lu. To be honest, he is one of the people that I don't want to be enemies with. And Lingjian School is far more powerful than it looks. "
Ye Feifei gently smiled. "Wang Lu is indeed very powerful … I also don't want to encounter that kind of enemy. As for tomorrow morning, we will have to rely on you to open up the situation. "
Hai Yunfan said, "Senior Sister, rest assured. Although we haven't seen each other for several years, I should still be able to talk to Wang Lu … It's getting late, Senior Sister, you should go rest."
Ye Feifei nodded, and before leaving, she said, "This time, thank you for persuading Ziye. Otherwise, with his temper, once he gets into a dead end, he might cause big trouble in Lingjian School's territory."
"Senior Sister is too polite. Big Brother's business is my business." Hai Yunfan smiled freely and waved goodbye to Ye Feifei. However, when he turned around, his smile revealed a bit of bitterness.

The next morning, the group of five people, according to the plan made last night, went from the Cloud Wave Boat to the Spirit Sword Mountain's Non-Phase Peak to visit Wang Lu.
Setting foot on the solid ground of the Four Divisions Peak, Zhao Jiangyuan laughed. "Actually, I don't feel anything. Fortunately, I felt awkward for so long yesterday."
Zhan Ziye also laughed. "As long as you have a calm mind and treat this exchange activity as a real exchange activity, there's actually nothing to feel awkward about."
That open-minded smile was really hard to imagine that just last night, he was still entangled because of the Gate of All Living Things incident.
As a knowledgeable person, Hai Yunfan naturally knew what his Eldest Brother was thinking. In fact, his Eldest Brother was not a person who could hide things. While walking toward the Non-Phase Peak, he excitedly said, "That Liu Li's Brilliant Sword Heart isn't even recorded in our Book of Ten Thousand Arts. There's only a brief introduction about it, so it's most likely an Immortal Level Method. Lingjian School is known to have the ancient immortal inheritance, so it seems that there's a bit of a possibility … If there's an opportunity, I really want to exchange a few moves with her. "
Hai Yunfan laughed. "There's naturally an opportunity. I heard that in a few days, there will be a competition between the two sects' disciples. At that time, as our trump card, Senior Brother, you will certainly have to face the Lingjian School's Successor Disciple, Liu Li. I just hope you won't be too ruthless."
Zhan Ziye repeatedly shook his head. "How could that be? We're here to have a friendly exchange, not to embarrass others. Not to mention Liu Li, even if I encounter Wang Lu, I will still be merciful and not embarrass him. "
While talking, the group of people had already arrived at the boundary of the Non-Phase Peak. That simple and crude cabin was right in front of them, from which came a burst of laughter of men and women. The several people were stunned for a moment, but soon they recognized that the owner of the voice was Wang Lu, Liu Li, Yue Xinyao, and Huo Ying … these four people.
Hearing the four people laughing together, Zhan Ziye, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and looked surprised.
Hai Yunfan, who was behind him, quickly said, "They're from the same sect, so it's normal for them to have a close relationship …"
Zhan Ziye reluctantly smiled. "You're right, they're from the same sect, I think too much …"
Halfway through, he couldn't continue because the content of the conversation inside the cabin was too explosive.
"Hahaha, you guys lost again. Three against one, and you've lost thirteen times in a row, what else can you say!"
"How could there be someone like you, Senior Brother? You clearly know that we're novices, yet you don't give in to us. Moreover, no matter how we draw the cards, it's always one or two star cards, but in your hand, it's always five or six star cards! "
"Humph, the card draw has been checked by everyone, if your luck is bad, don't blame it on the prop. In short, if you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose, so quickly take it off! "
"But …"
"One for each person, we've already agreed, don't dawdle, quickly take it off, and give it to me while it's still hot!"
"I hate you! You go inside first, don't peek! "
…
Outside the cabin, Hai Yunfan cleared his throat and tried to make a final struggle. "Senior Brother, I think this is probably a misunderstanding."
However, the three Senior Brothers couldn't hear what he said at all.
