"Sword Qi Soaring Heaven Pavilion's orders are for you to continue guarding Spear Point Town!"
Yan Cheng didn't bring any good news, but Lou Xiaoyi already had a premonition that fate wouldn't allow him to hide in the sect and live a peaceful life. It always wanted to torment him, so it didn't matter.
Yan Cheng was puzzled by his indifference. "You're not angry?"
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "What's the use of being angry? Senior Apprentice Sister, if I take root here, do you plan to stay here forever? If that's the case, why don't we merge our two sects into one, and roll our covers together … "
Yan Cheng said, "You've only had a few days, and now you're talking nonsense again!
I told you the bad news just now, but now I'm going to tell you the good news! "
Lou Xiaoyi lay lazily outside the stone pagoda, basking in the sun. "It's already like this, what good news can there be? It must be another piece of bad news. Senior Apprentice Sister, you're purposely angering me … "
Yan Cheng chuckled. "The news I received from the sect today is the latest. It's about you, do you want to know?"
Lou Xiaoyi was very dissatisfied. "The stone pagoda is with me, right? Why didn't they give me the news directly? Instead, they used you, Senior Apprentice Sister, such an informal channel. The sect is too biased … "
Yan Cheng glanced at him. "I have friends. Do you?"
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless. He really didn't. As for Yan Cheng's group, they were just casual acquaintances. Moreover, their levels were limited, so he didn't know much inside information. However, he didn't want to lose face.
"You call them friends? They're all subordinates under your skirt, right? For women, you don't care about the sect's rules … "
Yan Cheng wasn't angry, because what she was about to say really made her happy.
"Little Yi, I want to congratulate you here. According to the sect's news, the five-ring Foundation Establishment ranking list that is held every three years was updated a few days ago. Our Xuanyuan External Sword has another person on the list! Don't you think it's something worth celebrating? "
"What does it have to do with me!"
Lou Xiaoyi subconsciously expressed his disdain, but quickly sat up. "Senior Apprentice Sister, no, no …"
Smoky smiled like a flower. "Really! Congratulations, Junior Martial Brother. In the new ranking, Junior Martial Brother is ranked ninth and ninth. Junior Martial Brother has successfully entered the Foundation Building Ranking. Junior Martial Brother has become the pride of Xuanyuan, the pride of the External Sword Sect, and a powerhouse respected by your peers. I hope Junior Martial Brother will continue to work hard and make further progress … "
Lou Xiaoyi had to interrupt him. "Wait, wait! My mind is in a mess! Who was the one behind this ranking? Don't I need to register? Don't I need to register? Announcing it out of the blue like this, where was the privacy of others? Is there still law and order? "
Smoky could not suppress his laughter, but it was obvious that he was up to no good!
"Since you're in the cultivation world, unless you never leave the mountain and never fight with others, your every move must have been collated behind your back. You killed people in Min State Prefecture, River City, the Red Top Clan, the Mountain Python Clan, and the Northgazing Clan. With so many achievements, how could they have missed you?
This is the five-ring cultivation world. Whether you enter the ranking or not is not up to you. Even your nickname is not up to you! "
Lou Xiaoyi was very vigilant. His Dharma name was terrible, so he still cared about such nicknames. He did not ask for too many, but it should be similar, right?
"Nickname? What does that mean? Who gave them the right to give me a nickname? "
Smoky finally could not hold back his laughter. "What right do you have? Did you have a right when you were born? It was your parents who gave you the name!
Did you have a right when you entered the sect? It was the sect who gave you the name!
Then when it comes to the ranking, what right do you have?
The five-ring Foundation Building Ranking only selects the top 1,000. So you're just a shortlist. There's a lot of room for improvement!
Come, I'll read it for you. Number one thousand, Orchid Court cultivator, Shining Night Meteor Lin Zizheng! Number nine nine eight, Taiyi Immortal Sect cultivator, Nine Heavens Lightning Emperor.
Listen, this nickname, this aura, this charm, this realm … "
Lou Xiaoyi finally realized how scary this woman was and hurriedly stopped her.
"Wait! Senior Martial Sister, what's the use of reading these irrelevant names? Read out the 999th name! "
Smoky finally stopped laughing and said seriously, "Okay, I'll read out the 999th name! Xuanyuan Sword Sect's External Sword Lineage, Candied Haws Lou Xiaoyi! "
After saying that, she could no longer hold back and laughed while covering her sleeves.
Lou Xiaoyi stared blankly for a moment, then flew into a rage. "Which mischievous bastard is this, to randomly give this young master a nickname? It doesn't match the facts at all. It's all groundless and fabricated … "
Smoky finally stopped laughing. "Groundless accusations? I don't think so, right? I feel that the nickname that other people came up with for you is a good portrayal of you! Did you not lick the candied haws after killing people in the Mountain Python Tribe? What did you chew after killing people in the Northgazing Tribe? They didn't accuse you wrongly! "
Lou Xiaoyi was very dissatisfied. "It's just a habit! It doesn't represent the characteristics of one's strength. Look at Taiyi Immortal Sect. They play with lightning, so they call them Nine Heavens Lightning. That's very suitable! I play with swords, so I have to be related to swords, right? Even if you don't touch swords, I'm a Star Cultivator. It's fine to have a Hundred Changes Star Lord or something …
Candied haws? What is this? Do you want me to pierce through eight or ten heads with one sword? "
Smoky's laughter gradually disappeared. This junior brother's last sentence was obviously a joke, but for some reason, she felt that it was very likely to become a reality! It was very scary …
She sighed softly. "Little Yi, the nickname has been set. It can't be changed! But your habit of licking the candied haws after killing people is indeed a little, a little perverted … "
Lou Xiaoyi felt very wronged. "I don't want to either! I faint at the sight of blood! It can have a little sour and sweet taste in my mouth, and it can be suppressed a little … "
Smoky was very serious. "Little Yi, this joke can only be made between us martial brothers and sisters, but you must not lick the candied haws after killing people outside and then say that you faint at the sight of blood! This was contempt, a blatant provocation! When others hear you say this, they will have a common enemy and fight you to the death! "
Lou Xiaoyi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Wasn't this forcing him to not tell the truth and only tell lies?
This was forcing a good girl to become a prostitute!
With great difficulty, Lou Xiaoyi bypassed this point. He still had a lot of questions.
"Senior Sister, is there a reward for being on the ranking list?"
"Yes! But it's not from the sect, it's from other sects! There will always be people challenging you at any time, and you can't refuse! "
"Can't I hide in the dome?"
"No! They directly challenge you in front of the mountain gate. For the glory of the Sword Vein, you can't refuse! "
"Then what's the point of playing! If the first ranked person challenges me, won't I die without a burial place? I can't hide, can't run? If it's like this, won't there be only one person left alive in the ranking list? "
Lou Xiaoyi really wanted to fulfill Senior Brother Guangbei's wish, but not now. In any case, he should at least give him a few decades to strengthen himself, right? Now that he was suddenly pulled into it, what should he do? Their cultivation levels were not equal at all!
