(I'm having a cold and fever, so I wrote slowly and updated late. Please forgive me! I'm afraid that people will say that I'm looking for excuses. I don't dare to disappoint everyone's support. I'll continue to update tonight to prove that I haven't been lazy!)
Miao Yi could only tell that it was written in an imposing manner. As for whether or not the words were well-written, he couldn't tell. If it weren't for the fact that he had learned a few words from Lao Bai, he probably wouldn't even be able to read. Hence, he wasn't interested in looking at Huo Lingxiao's flamboyant writing. He quickly scanned the crowd around him.
Then, he saw familiar faces again. Gu Sanzheng, Tan Lao, and Ye Xin were seated around the table. The three of them were gathered together. However, the three of them were rather interesting. Gu San was staring intently at Huo Lingxiao's words, while Ye Xin would occasionally glance at him. Tan Lao, on the other hand, would also occasionally glance at Ye Xin.
Normally, it would be hard to tell. However, at this moment, everyone was watching Huo Lingxiao write, so Ye Xin and Tan Lao's actions were exceptionally conspicuous. Miao Yi was taken aback. He could sense that something was amiss from their gazes.
As a woman, Wu Menglan could not squeeze into the crowd. She stood under the eaves of the pavilion with her hands behind her back and looked at the beautiful scenery on the lake.
"My mortal heart is not extinguished, life is short, I want to sing …" Someone began to mutter the words in black and white.
After Huo Lingxiao added ink a few times, he finished writing in one go. He put down the brush smoothly, cupped his fists at everyone, and said with a smile, "Everyone, I've made a fool of myself!"
"Good …" Suddenly, there was a loud cheer. Everyone clapped their hands and praised.
At the side, a wine girl who was grinding ink in her hand had already lifted the brush and held it horizontally in her hand. She slowly spun it around for everyone to see.
"Sorry for my incompetence, sorry for my incompetence …" As he cheered, Huo Lingxiao continuously cupped his hands to his left and right to express his thanks. His smile was full of modesty. It was obvious that he was fond of such things.
"Alright!" Miao Yi forcefully squeezed his way in and snatched the scroll from the Wine Girl's hands. With a serious expression, he nodded and said, "Well written. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the best in the world."
His sudden appearance caused Gu Sanzheng, Tan Lao, and Ye Xin to exchange glances.
Huo Lingxiao was stunned for a moment, but when he saw who it was, he was dumbfounded. Then he began to sweat. Number one in the world? Don't you know that scholars despise each other? Are you trying to ruin me or praise me?
He was clear in his heart. Quite a few people on the side who had the same interest only cheered and supported him. If you dared to say that you were the best in the world, how could others take it? The words "the best in the world" were definitely the most troublesome words in the world.
True enough. The atmosphere at the scene instantly turned cold, and many people began to look indifferent.
Miao Yi had never been in this line of work before, so how would he know the market rate? In any case, he felt that flattery was definitely the right thing to do. He turned around and smiled at Huo Lingxiao, "Big Brother. Can you give this to me? This little brother will definitely treasure it properly. "
You're my uncle! Will you die if you don't screw me over? Huo Lingxiao was going crazy and wanted to send him flying with a kick. He rubbed his nose uncomfortably and asked, "Why are you here?"
Someone beside him asked, "Huo Lingxiao, who is this friend?"
Huo Lingxiao still wanted to play dumb, but Miao Yi had already put away the words on the paper. Shamelessly, he cupped his fists and said, "I am Miao Yi of Traversing Wood Palace. I am also the 'Traitor Miao' that everyone has been talking about recently!" He then pointed at Huo Lingxiao and said, "This is my sworn brother!"
Wu Menglan was already hovering in the air. She couldn't help but laugh as she watched the scene unfold in the crowd. Especially Huo Lingxiao's expression, as though he had just eaten some poison, she almost burst out laughing.
"Traitor Miao!" That person suddenly sneered, "Huo Lingxiao, I didn't expect you to be associated with this kind of person. How disgraceful."
There were many others who acted the same way as him, and they all scoffed at Miao Yi with disdain on their faces.
Miao Yi thought that scholars were all gentlemanly people, but now he realized that they were all the same as Huo Lingxiao. 'Did I offend you?' He casually pointed at Huo Lingxiao and asked. "Big Brother, who the hell is this? Why are you here pretending to be ignorant?"
Huo Lingxiao really wanted to publicly announce that he had broken off all ties with this' Traitor Miao ', but he didn't dare to. He was afraid that Miao Yi would expose his' affair 'with Zhang Tianxiao in front of everyone. Now that Miao Yi was no longer a member of Traversing Moon Palace, even Zhang Tianxiao wouldn't be able to do anything to him if anything happened.
He could only glare at him and say, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. This is Suppressing Fourth Hall Master Wen Jiuxian of the Traversing Celestial Palace. Quickly apologize."
Miao Yi exclaimed, "Are you serious? He had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. He doesn't seem like a refined scholar who can be associated with people like you. "
Wen Jiuxian was instantly enraged. "Who are you talking about?"
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll talk back to whoever talks back to me. It's very fair and reasonable. Touch your conscience and think about it. If you don't like it, then learn to keep your mouth shut."
"Little thief, how dare you!" Wen Jiuxian was furious. A Red Lotus of the Sixth Grade bloomed on his forehead as he grabbed Miao Yi's shoulder, intending to teach him a small lesson.
Miao Yi's cultivation was far inferior to his opponent's, so he didn't dare to face him head-on. He quickly dodged to the side. His reaction speed wasn't any slower than his opponent's.
His attack speed would also not be slower than his opponent's. How could a spear user's hand speed be slow? If his hand speed was slow, his spear would not be fast either.
Almost at the same time he dodged the other party's claw … Peng! His fist directly landed on Wen Jiuxian's chest.
Truth be told, Wen Jiuxian didn't care about this punch at all. There was a huge gap between their cultivations. He didn't think Miao Yi could hurt him if he didn't use his weapon. Even if he just stood there and let Miao Yi punch him, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, he was surprised by Miao Yi's incredible reaction speed. Miao Yi's attack speed was not the slightest bit inferior to his own. When Miao Yi's fist easily broke through his transcendence energy defense and landed on his chest without the slightest pause, he was truly shocked.
He reached out to grab Miao Yi's wrist, but before he could even grab Miao Yi's wrist, he felt a scorching heat radiating from Miao Yi's fist. It imprinted itself on his chest and went straight through his internal organs. A terrifying feeling instantly came from within his body, as though his internal organs had been tossed into a pot of oil and fried.
The crowd saw a charred fist mark instantly appear on Wen Jiuxian's chest. The flesh on his chest was charred black, and the clothes on the fist mark had already turned to ash.
Wen Jiuxian quickly used all the transcendence energy in his body to suppress it. He felt as though he had lost the ability to resist after being hit by the other party's punch, because he was trying his best to suppress the transcendence energy the other party had sent into his body. In the end, he saw Miao Yi's fist flying towards him. In his shock, he quickly retreated, knocking through the crowd and escaping.
However, his reaction was already slow after being hit by Miao Yi's fist. Miao Yi dodged and chased after him. Peng! Another punch landed on Wen Jiuxian's chest, and at the same time, he sent a flying kick.
Wen Jiuxian violently spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. He landed on the ground and staggered a few steps back. He didn't even have the strength to fly in the air anymore. He swayed and leaned against a tree, staring at Miao Yi with widened eyes.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Wen Jiuxian, a Red Lotus Sixth Grade cultivator, to be beaten to this state by a Red Lotus First Grade cultivator in the blink of an eye.
The wine girls in the pavilion were so frightened that they covered their heads and screamed as they fled.
Gu Sanzheng and the other two exchanged glances. They realized that this Brother Miao was really fierce no matter where he went.
"Little Brother, don't be reckless!" Huo Lingxiao quickly dashed out and grabbed Miao Yi's arm, pulling him down from the sky. He angrily shouted, "If someone dies in the capital city, you won't be able to walk away unscathed either."
Huo Lingxiao really didn't want to pull Miao Yi back. He couldn't wait for Miao Yi to be captured. However, he had already acknowledged Miao Yi as his sworn brother in front of everyone. If he didn't do anything to stop Miao Yi and instead watched the show unfold, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
"I never thought this bastard was just a pretty boy. He's so weak, and he even dares to insult others." Miao Yi couldn't help scoffing when he saw Wen Jiuxian's legs trembling and how he was leaning against the tree.
Those who knew of Wen Jiuxian's strength were shocked as well. They couldn't understand why Wen Jiuxian was so useless today.
Even Miao Yi himself couldn't understand it, let alone them. Ever since he stepped into the cultivation realm, he had always been using his weapon to fight against others. He had never fought in close quarters with someone like this before. If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient to use his weapon in the capital city, he wouldn't have been so foolish as to fight a Red Lotus Sixth Grade cultivator with his current cultivation.
He also didn't know how powerful the Fiery Star Technique would be after he reached the Red Lotus realm and broke through the shackles of his inner arts, allowing him to communicate with the outside world.
He only knew that when he attacked, the Fiery Star Technique would increase the temperature of his attacks. Even a palm strike from mid-air could leave a scorched palm print on the stone wall. With such a miraculous effect, there was no reason for him not to use it when fighting against others. Not to mention that his cultivation was inferior to his opponent's, so he had to use the Fiery Star Technique even more.
As for the consequences, it wasn't a good idea to test it on a human, so he didn't know what the consequences would be. Today was his first time using the Fiery Star Technique to injure someone.
"Where are my colleagues from the Traversing Celestial Palace? Come and help me!" Wen Jiuxian suddenly bellowed. As soon as he did, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
The commotion and the screams of the wine girls had long attracted the attention of the people on the island. They looked in this direction, not knowing what was going on. His shout immediately attracted eight or nine figures to rush over.
"Wen Jiuxian, what's going on?" Nine people surrounded him and asked.
Wen Jiuxian pointed at Miao Yi and said, "Miao Yi. Traitor Miao."
"Traitor Miao? He's the traitor Miao? "One of them exclaimed," He's the one who injured you? "
Wen Jiuxian had no choice but to nod his head with great difficulty.
His colleague immediately pointed at Miao Yi and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you attack someone in the capital city!"
Miao Yi sneered, "I'm really unlucky this year. This year, I've bumped into people who try to distort the truth. This guy was the one who attacked first, and now it's my fault. If I knew this would happen, I would have killed him earlier."
One of the women on the other side shouted, "Why are you wasting your breath on him? Let's take him to the Martial Manor first."
One of the nine stayed behind to support Wen Jiuxian, while the other eight immediately closed in, glaring at him.
Huo Lingxiao immediately stepped forward with a bitter smile. He cupped his fists towards them and said, "Everyone, let's talk things out."
It was still the woman who shouted, "Huo Lingxiao, this has nothing to do with you. Don't look for trouble. Get out of the way!"
"You want to compete in numbers?" Miao Yi sneered. He glanced sideways at the group of people who had heard the commotion and rushed over to see what was going on. Naturally, the people from Wood Traversing Palace were among them. With a mocking tone, he said, "They're competing in numbers with us. Don't tell me you guys just want to watch the show from the sidelines?"
The people from Wood Traversing Palace were speechless. It seemed this guy was causing trouble again. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have come over to watch the show. Now that they saw him, they couldn't just stand by and watch.
No matter what opinions they had towards Miao Yi, or how much they disliked him, even if there was a grudge between them, when it came to dealing with outsiders, who would dare not show up? If they didn't show up when it came to dealing with outsiders, not only would the outsiders laugh at Wood Traversing Palace, even Palace Lord Cheng Aofang wouldn't let them off lightly.
