"Looks like the Bai Clan Leader knows that I won't have a falling out with the Bai Clan over such a small matter. However, it's just a marriage contract. I am already a Late Spirit Apostle. As long as I can become a Core Disciple, even if the Bai Clan reveals my identity, the Sect won't punish me too severely. If I can become a Spirit Master, the Barbarian Ghost Sect will probably turn a blind eye to this matter. "Liu Ming muttered as he came up with an idea.
In the remaining month, when Liu Ming had just stabilized his Fa Li, the bell for the Small Competition suddenly rang out from Nine Infant Mountain.
Hearing this, Liu Ming did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the plaza at the top of the mountain.
In this Small Competition, other than Gui Ruquan, Zhu Chi and Martial Aunt Zhong did not appear.
Moreover, the entire Small Competition was much more rushed than before. Even Zhu Chi Gui, who was in charge of the Small Competition, seemed to be absent-minded.
In this Small Competition, not many of the older disciples had a large increase in their cultivation. However, among the new disciples, Wan Xiao Qian, had surprisingly become a Middle Spirit Apostle. Xue Shan, on the other hand, was stuck at a Beginning Spirit Apostle. His cultivation did not seem to increase at all, causing his face to be filled with dejection.
As for Xiao Feng, the Nine Spiritual Pulse disciple, although he was still a Middle Spirit Apostle when he used his techniques, his aura was much stronger than before. It seemed that he was not far from breaking through to the Late Spirit Apostle realm.
As for Liu Ming himself, he forcefully suppressed his aura to that of a Middle Spirit Apostle. Moreover, the three tests were quickly passed and his performance was only slightly better than last time.
Now, the reward for winning the minor competition was nothing to him. Naturally, he didn't want to attract too much attention.
Otherwise, if a Three Spiritual Pulse disciple cultivated faster than a Nine Spiritual Pulse disciple, it would attract a lot of trouble.
Luckily, Gui Ruquan did not pay as much attention to the performance of the new disciples in this Small Competition. Otherwise, even if Liu Ming suppressed his aura, he could not be sure that he would be able to hide it.
In the final Small Competition, he only received a bottle of Fa Li recovery Spirit Pills and left the mountain like the others.
However, when he returned to his residence, another uninvited guest was already waiting for him there.
"Senior Sister Mu!" Liu Ming called out the young woman's name in surprise.
"Junior Brother Bai, are you not going to invite me inside?" The woman smiled sweetly.
"I was impolite. Senior Sister, please come in!" Liu Ming quickly regained his composure. He invited the young woman into the small courtyard and went straight to the hall of the wing room.
"Junior's place is very simple and crude!" Mu Xian Yun looked around and a trace of surprise appeared on her face.
Apart from a wooden table and a few chairs, there were no other furnishings in this hall that was specially used to entertain guests.
"I'm only focused on cultivation, so I don't really care about these things. I've embarrassed myself in front of Senior Sister. Oh, that's right. Why did Senior Mu look for me this time? "Liu Ming waved his hand and invited the young woman to sit down before asking with a smile.
"Junior Bai, did that girl Ming Zhu come to find you a few days ago?" Mu Xian Yun was not polite and directly asked a question.
"Lady Ming Zhu did indeed come to find me once." Liu Ming did not find it strange and calmly replied.
"It seems that Junior already knows that my elder brother wants to betroth Ming Zhu to you." Hearing this, Mu Xian Yun's expression relaxed.
"I didn't know before, but now that Lady Ming Zhu has come to find me, even if I didn't know, I know. Who was the one who first proposed this marriage? If no one took the lead, I don't believe that the two clans would bring me and Lady Ming Zhu together. "Liu Ming bitterly smiled.
"What? Could it be that Junior wants to find this matchmaker and properly thank him?" Mu Xian Yun lightly laughed.
"Could it be that this matchmaker is Senior Sister?" When Liu Ming saw that the young woman's smile carried a trace of craftiness, he thought for a moment and suddenly understood.
"Junior Martial Brother is truly intelligent. That's right, letting Ming Zhu marry you was indeed something I proposed to my elder brother. However, when our Mu Clan proposed it, the Bai Clan did not even think before immediately agreeing. They even exchanged betrothal gifts at the fastest speed and set up the marriage. We agreed that after three years, you would be married! I want Junior to be able to bring back such a great beauty like my niece. I don't know how you plan on thanking me for being the matchmaker. "Mu Xian Yun was startled at first, but she immediately smiled.
"Thanking me? Does Senior Mu think that I don't have many troubles on my body, so you purposely found some things to give me a headache? Let's not talk about anything else, but do you think that Lady Ming Zhu and I are suitable? I have only interacted with your niece twice, yet you forcefully brought the two of us together. Not only do I feel uncomfortable, but your niece probably wants me to die right now. "Liu Ming rubbed his chin and shook his head.
"I have always admired Junior Brother Bai for being so mature at such a young age. How could I say such naive words? Although the Mu Clan cannot compare to the Lei Clan, it is still a somewhat famous Practitioner Clan in the Da Xuan Country. How could a child's marriage be decided by an individual? As for Ming Zhu, although she is extremely hostile towards you now, once she marries you, she will naturally change her mind. I can guarantee this. Moreover, this marriage is extremely important to both our Mu and Bai Clans. Even if Junior is already a Spirit Apostle, I'm afraid that you will not be able to reject this marriage. Moreover, aside from Ming Zhu not being a Spirit Apostle, she is a one-in-a-thousand talent. If she were to be matched with Junior, it would be a good match. "Mu Xian Yun said calmly.
"Since Senior has said all the good things, then why are you looking for me now!" When Liu Ming heard this, he became even more depressed and rolled his eyes.
"I came here to first explain the marriage to Junior in order to prevent any misunderstandings. Second, I want Junior to pay attention to one person in the future." Mu Xian Yun's smile disappeared.
"Pay attention to one person! Who is it? "Liu Ming asked back.
"Of course it's Gao Chong."
"Gao Chong, the disciple with the Earth Spiritual Pulse who was accepted by the Sect Leader!" Although Liu Ming was usually calm, his heart jumped when he heard this.
"That's right. In these two years, this person has been very close to Ming Zhu. If he knew about the marriage, I'm afraid he would not let it go so easily. "Mu Xian Yun said calmly.
"Very close? What do you mean?" Liu Ming stared at the young woman and his gaze turned cold.
"Let me put it this way. Ming Zhu is currently completely focused on this person and Gao Chong is also very concerned about my niece. That's why I told you to be careful. However, you don't have to worry. I can guarantee that Ming Zhu and this person did not do anything that crossed the line. "Mu Xian Yun quickly replied.
"Senior Mu, are you joking? Since your niece already has someone she likes, and that person is a disciple with an Earth Spiritual Pulse, the Mu Clan still wants to betroth her to me? "The corner of Liu Ming's eye twitched a few times and his face was expressionless.
"I definitely will not let Ming Zhu and Gao Chong be together. As for the reason, I can't say too much. However, you only need to know that my brother and the entire Mu Clan have the same thoughts. Furthermore, if Ming Zhu truly follows Gao Chong, not only will she not become his Dual Cultivation Companion, her fate will be incomparably miserable. "Mu Xian Yun's expression also became solemn.
"That's why the Mu Clan chose me to be the sucker. The opponent is a disciple with an Earth Spiritual Pulse. Does Senior think that I can provoke him? "Liu Ming was not the slightest bit moved by the other party's words and spoke with a gloomy expression.
"Speaking of this matter, it is indeed a bit difficult for Junior Bai. However, this marriage was agreed to by your father and they have already exchanged betrothal gifts. Even if you regret it now, it is already too late. Junior, you don't need to worry too much about Gao Chong. That person is under the strict control of the Sect Leader. Under normal circumstances, the possibility of him personally coming to find you is not high. However, there are a few older disciples by his side. I'm afraid that once these people find out about this matter, they will find trouble with you. Therefore, if possible, Junior should try not to leave the Sect. As long as you endure the Life and Death Trials, everything will be fine. "Mu Xian Yun said apologetically.
"As long as I endure the Life and Death Trials, nothing will happen. What do you mean?" When Liu Ming heard this, his heart moved.
"Because according to what I know, Gao Chong has just successfully become a Late Spirit Apostle. With the strength of his Earth Spiritual Pulse, it should not be a problem for him to enter the top ten Core Disciples. If he participates in the Life and Death Trials and doesn't die, the benefits and resources he will receive when he returns will be enough for him to directly enter the Late Spirit Apostle realm. At that time, he will definitely start preparing to break through to the Spirit Master realm. Even if he wants to, the Sect Leader Martial Uncle will definitely not agree. Moreover, breaking through to the Spirit Master realm is an extremely difficult matter. There may not even be a result within a few years. At that time, you and Ming Zhu will have already become husband and wife. What can he do to Junior? "Mu Xian Yun said with a smile.
"What if he really becomes a Spirit Master in the future?" Liu Ming stared at the young woman and asked.
"Junior doesn't know, but the Sect Leader Martial Uncle's cultivation method is very special. Once he becomes a Spirit Master, he will not easily fall in love. At that time, the Sect Leader Martial Uncle will not stop him anymore. Who knows how many female cultivators will throw themselves into his arms. Why would he still think of Ming Zhu? If you are really worried, after you marry Ming Zhu, you can apply to be transferred to another place to be a deacon. This way, after a long period of time, everything will naturally not be a problem. "Mu Xian Yun seemed to have already thought about it and explained everything in detail.
When Liu Ming heard this, he was momentarily speechless. After a while, he suddenly said something that caused Mu Xian Yun to be dumbfounded.
"Senior Mu, regarding the matter between me and Lady Ming Zhu, I don't want to talk anymore. Right now, I want to ask about the Large Competition and the Life and Death Trials. Senior has been in the Sect for such a long time, it is impossible that you don't know about these matters. "
… …
After the time it took to eat a meal, the young woman left with a smile on her face. Only Liu Ming was left in the room, sitting on a chair in deep thought.
He was not really worried about the matter between Gao Chong and Mu Ming Zhu. Instead, he was thinking about the Large Competition and the Life and Death Trials.
