PS: Thank you for Qiuyu's arrival, a million monthly tickets, and for the tips that look delicious.
It was freezing outside, but Cangjian Peak was not affected at all.
The bamboos were green, and the breeze was gentle.
Fu 'er was riding Little Lyu in the bamboo forest. The shadows of the bamboos were reflected on the walls of the bamboo house, and the sound of cups clinking could be heard from time to time.
"That's it?" Cao Zigu clinked his cup with Yan Li's and said suspiciously, "You've been cultivating here so quietly these few days. I really suspect that you've been possessed."
Yan Li shook his head and smiled, "The Sect Master is fair. He treated Senior Apprentice-Brother Luo fairly at the Sword Teaching Competition, so I can't make trouble anymore. Besides, Elder Xiao Rong is from the Law Enforcement Court. I can't make things difficult for her. It's fine even if we don't go to the Devil Sweeping Conference. "
Cao Zigu put down his cup and chewed on a peanut. "Hmm, you're quite open-minded. But what about Lady Caiwei?"
Huang Chengyan clinked his cup with Luo Fangshuo's and drank it in one gulp. Then he said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, you worry too much. Besides, a man should have the ambition to be famous in the world. If it's just for a woman, it's really unnecessary."
Luo Fangshuo took a sip carefully. Instantly, his mouth was filled with heat, and it went down his throat. He exhaled a few times and squinted his eyes as if enjoying it. He smiled foolishly and said, "What are you afraid of, Junior Apprentice-Brother Yan? Just, just go kill them. You've killed so many demons. Come on, drink up … After drinking, we'll go kill demons …"
Huang and Cao looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They hadn't even drunk two cups, and they were already so drunk.
"Yan Li, Yan Li, hurry up. The Sect Master has sent someone to invite you over …"
Cao Zijun's excited voice suddenly came from outside.
…
Guan Shanhai checked the final selection list carefully and said to Ye Qinglan, who was in charge of leading the team this time. "Junior Sister Lan, I think you're more suitable to lead the team. Junior Brother Xiaojian and Lotus Seat are in such a bad relationship, so it's not good to send him."
Sitting aside, Ye Qinglan heard the conversation and said unhappily, "Humph, he has already gone to the Bodhi Temple to slack off. Even if I send him there, will he be able to come back in time? That sly little guy just can't bear to see me enjoying my leisure time."
"Don't say that," Guan Shanhai chuckled. "What he faced in the Bodhi Temple was the Infernal Hell. Those demons that crawled up from the ground were not easy to deal with. Moreover, such a righteous act should be spread among the Confucian orthodoxy. Even if he did not cause trouble with the Lotus Throne, I would not force him to come back. In the end, this mission still belongs to you."
Ye Qinglan said, "It's not a problem to lead the team, but I have a question that I want to ask you."
"I know what you want to ask," Guan Shanhai said with a smile.
"I didn't want to ask at first," Ye Qinglan said coldly. "That brat urged Shen Wanzhou to plead with Little Jiu, but Little Jiu came to me for help. I can't refute his prestige as the next Sect Master. Otherwise, how could Shen Wanzhou come back to the sect? I don't appreciate his kindness, but since I'm the team leader, I want to ask, why is the last candidate of the Court Of Sword grounded? "
Guan Shanhai thought that she might be very happy, so he said with a smile, "Lan, if you make a mistake, you should be punished. I think the decision of the Law Enforcement Court is quite fair. If this spreads out, it will also help the reputation of the Court Of Sword. Don't let people always say that we are martial artists who know nothing but swords. "
"Senior Brother," Ye Qinglan said with a frown, "Who cares about reputation at this time? The war between the Righteous Faction and the Devil Faction is a life-and-death battle. If you don't let Yan Li go, other disciples will be in more danger. Besides, when Yan Li was selected, he hadn't joined the Court Of Sword yet. Even if he is at fault, he should be judged after he joined the Court Of Sword. "
"Senior Uncle, you are wrong!"
Xu Longhua, another team leader this time, said, "As the saying goes, gossip is a fearful thing. Even Confucian orthodoxy can't resist the attack of gossip. In the past, without Junior Brother Yan, none of the disciples of the Court Of Sword was afraid. Senior Uncle really values individual strength too much. The Sect Master has always taught us that no matter what the situation is, only by uniting can we overcome all difficulties. "
"That's right. One person's strength is limited after all." Guan Shanhai nodded approvingly, "Junior Sister Lan, your awareness is even lower than that of your Junior Nephew."
Ye Qinglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't want to argue anymore, so she said, "Senior Brother, you have seen the list. If you have no objection, I will take them there tomorrow."
"Good. Very good." Guan Shanhai said.
Ye Qinglan stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, a disciple reported outside, "Sect Master, Senior Sister Flowing Tree, the successor of Kunlun, wants to see you. She said that she has something to discuss with you."
"Oh?" Guan Shanhai said with a smile, "What does this War Goddess want to discuss with me? Invite her in. Junior Sister Lan, if there is nothing else, you can go and prepare. "
Ye Qinglan was about to stand up, but she sat back down when she heard this, "I am also curious about what she has to say."
"Okay."
After a while, Liu Mubing was invited in. She stood in front of Guan Shanhai, cupped her fists and bowed, "Junior Liumu Bingjian pays respect to True Monarch Shanhai."
"Well, well. It is the third time that I have seen you. Please sit down." Guan Shanhai said with a smile.
Liumu Bingjian smiled and bowed to Ye Qinglan, "Chief Ye."
"Sit down and talk," Ye Qinglan responded with a smile. Although Kunlun only had one disciple, every disciple was indeed excellent. How could an ordinary Confucian orthodoxy disciple be qualified to come here and face the Sect Master of the Court Of Sword? It was even more impossible for him to give her a seat. Her own disciple was still standing. There was no reason to give a seat to a disciple from another sect.
Liumu Bingjian was used to such treatment, so he sat down naturally.
Guan Shanhai looked at the tea and then asked, "How is your master recently?"
"Thank you for your concern, True Monarch. My master is doing well. He often sits alone on the peak of Kunlun, guarding the Celestial Realm," Liumu Bingjian said.
Guan Shanhai sighed and said, "Thanks to your master, the Wall of Kunlun has enjoyed hundreds of years of peace in the Celestial Realm. The Demon-Buster Conference, which is held once every ten years, is about to begin again. The grudges that have been suppressed for ten years will explode in one day. It will be a cruel bloodbath. It is inconvenient for Bing to see you alone. If you don't mind, why don't you advance and retreat with my disciples? "
Liumu Bingjian took the teacup from the servant disciple and said with a smile, "The disciples of the Court Of Sword are all able to take charge of their own affairs and are very reliable. However, I am used to being alone, and it is not easy to coordinate with them. Thank you for your kind intentions, True Monarch."
Guan Shanhai was a bit regretful, but he didn't insist. Instead, he asked, "Bing Jian, why did you come all the way from Kunlun?"
Liumu Bingjian put down the teacup, stood up, and cupped his fists at Guan Shanhai. "My master also talked about the Demon-Buster Conference a few days ago, and it is the same as True Monarch's thoughts. Looking at the Heaven Star Prodigy Roll, the experts of the Devil World have already taken up thirty percent. I am afraid that the outcome of this Demon-Buster Conference is hard to predict. Junior is looking for some comrades who are very accomplished in actual combat to defend against those experts together and reduce unnecessary casualties on our side. Junior has thought about it, and deeply feels that those who can take on this responsibility must be under True Monarch. "
"Child, if you don't change your bad habit of having a sweet mouth, I am afraid that even my family's wealth will be coaxed away by you." Guan Shanhai couldn't help but laugh. "Since this is Sect Master Su's intention, it is naturally good. Which one of my disciples do you fancy? I am afraid that Little Nine won't do. He has other important matters to attend to. You can choose the others. Qiu Yu is not bad. She is calm and composed, but she is still inexperienced. She will need your guidance. "
"The Court Of Sword is so big, and there are so many talented people with extraordinary abilities. Are you only willing to give one?" Liumu Bingjian said with a smile.
Guan Shanhai was stunned, and then he laughed heartily. "Alright. Bingjian, just choose. I will give you as many as you want."
"Of course I want Yu Jianzi," Liumu Bingjian said with a smile. "The seven lineages of the Court Of Sword all have their own special abilities. Since we want to form an elite team, it is best if they can complement each other. How about we choose an expert from each lineage?"
Guan Shanhai said with a smile, "Since you came prepared, you must have already chosen a candidate."
"I dare not hide it from True Monarch. I have done some research." Liumu Bingjian said with a smile, "The Heavenly Sword Peak has decided on Yu Jianzi. The Sword Discourse Peak wants Ye Xiaolang. The Heart Sword Peak has a famous Childe Sword, so we naturally want him. The Soul Sword Peak …"
She turned to Ye Qinglan. "Chief Ye, I heard that Brother Shen has returned. He missed the Demon-Buster Conference ten years ago, and I think he will go this time no matter what. Why don't we borrow him?"
Ye Qinglan said, "Just order him around. If he doesn't listen to you, come back and report to me."
"Thank you." Liumu Bingjian smiled and said, "Duan Yihong of the Sword-fighting Peak, Wei Shu of the Commanding Sword Peak, and Yan Li of the Cangjian Peak. I want these few."
Guan Shanhai's smile suddenly disappeared.
"Wait!" A cold light flashed in Xu Longhua's eyes. "Lady Bingjian, Junior Brother Yan of the Cangjian Peak is currently grounded and can't go anywhere. I'm afraid he can't go with you. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Junior Brother Yan. "
Liumu Bingjian said with a smile, "Senior Brother Xu, you should ask for his opinion on this matter. Now that the war between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm is imminent, it is time for us to shed our blood and protect the Celestial Realm. It is not too late to punish such a small matter as grounded after the Demon-Buster Conference."
Xu Longhua frowned but didn't continue to argue. He just gave a glance to a disciple outside the hall.
Guan Shanhai said, "There is not only Yan Li of the Cangjian Peak. Since he is grounded, why not change the person? Cao Zigu and Huang Chengyan are both not bad. "
Liumu Bingjian said with a smile, "In the battle of the Human Realm's Heavenly Capital, Brother Yan killed the Heavenly Star Roll's Xue Kuang and became famous in one battle. Now, people call him Yan Shifang in the Jianghu. Is such an achievement not enough to make up for his grounding?"
Guan Shanhai said with a smile, "Yes, I've heard of him. He is a good child and refused to take credit, saying frankly that he got lucky. However, rewards and punishments are punishments and cannot be compared. Otherwise, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to set up the Disciplinary Council? "
Liumu Bingjian said, "Even the True Monarch said that Brother Yan is a good person. It is clear that he is a loyal person. If he can participate in this conference, he will definitely bring greater glory to the Court Of Sword."
Guan Shanhai pondered for a while and said, "What Bingjian said is not completely unreasonable. Otherwise, let him go. "
"Thank you, True Monarch," Liumu Bingjian said with a smile.
"Wait," Xu Longhua walked out from behind Ye Qinglan and said to Guan Shanhai with cupped fists, "Reporting to the Sect Master, Junior Brother Lantai originally suppressed the other important case because Junior Brother Yan has just joined. But now it seems that he can't suppress it anymore."
"Oh?" Guan Shanhai frowned and said, "What else did this Yan Li do?"
Xu Longhua opened his eyes wide and said in a deep voice, "More than fourteen thousand disciples and their families of the Tianyi Sword Pavilion were all killed."
