At the same time, on a 300m tall cliff on the main island of Mount Putuo that faced the sea, an exquisite two story pavilion had been built. The corners and eaves of the pavilion were beautifully carved, and it was extremely pleasing to the eye.
There was a platform on the cliff before the pavilion, and it was like a courtyard in front of a house. A begonia tree was planted at the side, and a young man in snow white clothes sat at a stone table beneath the tree.
His eyes were deep, his face was handsome, the corners of his eyes and the peak of his nose were sharp, and his jet black hair was tied up high with a jade crown inlaid with violet gold. He looked clean and neat, and he possessed an extraordinary heroic spirit.
At this moment, he was lightly rubbing a white jade teacup in his hand as he listened to the person beside him chatter endlessly, and the space between his brows gradually revealed an impatient attitude.
The person beside him seemed to be completely unaware and continued. "Senior Brother Zhou Yu, you must help me teach those two people a lesson this time, otherwise, I'll really be unable to swallow this anger …"
Bang! The person hadn't finished speaking when the white jade teacup was heavily smashed onto the stone table.
Surprisingly, the white jade teacup didn't shatter with this sound. Instead, a mark was smashed on the stone table, and the bottom of the teacup was embedded in it …
After this sound resounded out, the voice of the person that was speaking stopped abruptly, and he looked at the white clothed man with slight terror.
"Senior Brother Zhou Yu …"
"Wu Ming, you still have the nerve to speak. You almost caused a fellow disciple to be injured because of personal matters this time. I've already given your Wu Clan face by not sending you to the Hall of Justice to receive punishment. What else do you want?" The white clothed man slanted his brows as he spoke coldly.
The person that stood by his side was precisely Wu Ming that had rushed back from Star Island. He felt wronged and was just about to complain to this Senior Brother Zhou Yu, yet he never imagined that he would suffer such a severe reprimand.
"Senior Brother Zhou Yu, Junior Brother knows his mistake. But those two people had a conflict with me in the past, yet they actually dared to come to our Mount Putuo this time. Please help me and teach them a lesson." Wu Ming was still unwilling to give up.
"You want me to teach them a lesson … How should I teach them a lesson? Directly go to their door? Do you have any brains? They've come to participate in the Immortal Apricot Summit, and they're guests, not enemies. "Zhou Yu was slightly angered when he heard this.
"No matter what, as long as Senior Brother can help me, I'll double the annual tribute sent by my family next year. What do you think?" Wu Ming gritted his teeth and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's tightly knitted brows couldn't help but loosen a little.
The Wu clan was a prominent clan of the Great Tang, and it was extremely wealthy. In order to send Wu Ming, the son of the first wife, to Mount Potala to cultivate, they had spent a great deal of money. Every year, they would send a massive sum of incense money to Mount Potala.
In addition, Zhou Yu and the family he originally belonged to, as the person who protected Wu Ming's entrance, would also receive a considerable amount of annual tribute. If it could be doubled, it would also be a tempting amount of wealth.
"It's easy for you to say, but how could it be so easy to teach the other party a lesson without leaving any traces? You also know that my master is the Patriarch of Justice. If he finds out, it will be difficult for me to escape punishment, "Zhou Yu said hesitantly.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Zhou, I know that you have always been concerned about Senior Sister Nie. She has tried to break through to the dacheng stage in seclusion several times, but she has failed. She just lacks a Star Moon Pearl. Our family just got one three months ago. As long as you are willing to help me, I can ask grandpa to give it to me. You know that he has always agreed to my requests, so he will definitely agree. At that time, you can give the Star Moon Pearl to Junior Sister Nie and help her break through to the dacheng stage. It is tantamount to sending charcoal in snowy weather. You will definitely be able to get the beauty back. "Seeing that he was still unwilling to give in, Wu Ming immediately made up his mind and said.
"Your family has a Star Moon Pearl?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows suddenly and asked.
"Yes, I bought it from a monster hunter in the East Sea three months ago. Although it is only from a three-hundred-year-old mirage monster, fortunately, its condition is very good and it is well preserved …"
Before Wu Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Yu.
"The trial of this Immortal Apricot Meet happens to be hosted by me. It is not difficult for an accident to injure him. At most, he will lose his limbs. But if you want more severe revenge, then don't even think about it. Once there are serious consequences, as the person in charge, I will also be held responsible by the sect. You understand this, right? "
"I understand, I understand … It's enough." Wu Ming smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Tell me in detail about the situation of those two people …" Zhou Yu picked up the teacup on the table again and said slowly.
Wu Ming immediately lowered his body and began to narrate excitedly.
…
On the other side, Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian had returned to their respective residences.
After Shen Luo rested for a while, he came to the second floor of the attic and sat down cross-legged on the futon in the room.
He held his spirit in his dantian. With a slight move of his mind, the pure yang sword embryo flew out of his dantian and hovered quietly between his hands.
With a thought, the spiritual power in his body began to surge out of his palms. It wrapped around the sword embryo and began to nurture the pure yang sword embryo little by little.
Compared to cultivation, nurturing a flying sword was much more boring. Normally, he could rely on his own connection with the sword embryo to nurture it in his dantian. However, the progress was very slow. Meditating and nurturing like this would increase the efficiency by a lot.
However, Shen Luo did not nurture the flying sword much because he wanted to raise his cultivation level as soon as possible and thus increase his lifespan. Most of the time, he relied on his dantian to nurture it.
At present, it was very difficult for his cultivation to break through in a short period of time. It was better to take the opportunity to nurture the pure yang sword embryo and prepare for the upcoming Immortal Apricot Conference.
Near evening, Shen Luo suddenly heard a burst of shouting from outside. He put away the flying sword and went to the window. He opened the window and looked outside.
The evening sunlight penetrated the valley from behind a little, separating the light and dark mottled traces. It was reflected in the entire valley. The flowers and houses in the valley were covered with a layer of soft halo, looking very beautiful.
"Brother Shen." At this time, a voice came from below the attic.
Shen Luo looked down and saw Li Shu waving at him with a smile on her face. Beside her stood a young girl in purple clothes. She was about the same height as her. Her head was slightly lowered, and her hands were behind her back. She looked very demure.
"Why have you come?" Shen Luo asked with a smile. His figure jumped down from the window and landed in front of the two people.
"I heard from my fellow disciples that you met with danger in the fog sea today. I was a little worried, so I came to take a look," Li Shu said.
"I just happened to meet Senior Wei Qing. It's not a big problem," Shen Luo said.
"That's good … By the way, this is a new friend of mine. Her name is Liu Qing. I'll introduce her to you," Li Shu said.
"Fellow Liu." Shen Luo cupped his hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Shen Daoyou." The girl named Liu Qing had round cheeks. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved.
"Fellow Liu also came to participate in the Immortal Apricot Conference?" Shen Luo asked.
