Chapter 211 Mu Xiu Yu Lin

The phrase "equal to each other" shows the importance Chu Tang has in Tao Ying's heart now.

Chu Tang felt really proud after hearing this.

Tao Ying is undoubtedly arrogant.

Her identity and cultivation determine her status and vision. Ordinary people really can't make her look favorably upon her.

Although she had been very polite to Chu Tang before, her politeness was obviously distant and slightly condescending.

Now, she said that Chu Tang could be on an equal footing with her.

This is also a concrete manifestation of Chu Tang's significant change in status.

"Dean Tao said that, Chu is really honored." Chu Tang replied humbly.

In the dark night, Tao Ying still rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's not just me. If we fight tonight, the entire Qingcheng, oh no, the entire Liangzhou, who won't look at you differently?"

Chu Tang touched his nose and sighed: "If possible, Chu really doesn't want to be in the limelight."

Tao Ying chuckled and said, "You will get the limelight if you don't want to! Didn't you hear just now? Even Shen Zuo looked like he wanted to eat you."

"Ah?" Chu Tang expressed surprise.

Tao Ying said leisurely: "There are rumors these days that Shen Zuo hopes that the Shen family can choose a woman with good looks, martial arts and moral character, and wants to marry you."

"What?" Chu Tang has been preparing for war with peace of mind recently and has never heard of this gossip.

Tao Ying added: "It is said that he came up with this idea after the Cheng family was destroyed. He must have found out what role you played in the destruction of the Cheng family. Now you have defeated the masters of the six realms head-on. Moreover, you are a master of the holy land of martial arts who understands the power of the sword. In the eyes of Shen Zuo, you are an unparalleled sweet potato. He wants to keep you in the Governor's Mansion, it is nothing more than the idea of ​​​​getting the moon first."

"I'm afraid Chu will not be able to bear his kindness." Chu Tang was helpless at first and then defended innocently, "Besides, it was obviously the Su family that destroyed the Cheng family, okay? Chu will not bear the blame."

Tao Ying snorted coldly: "Why do the Su family dare to attack the Cheng family? If others don't know, how can I not be clear about it? By the way, you, Chief Chu, are so majestic. You can kill the Cheng family's heads with just one sword-drawing skill; you can kill the Cheng family with your magic skills." In terms of swordsmanship, even the master disciple of Luoshen Valley has been destroyed by you! What do you think, why do you want to destroy Xu Lingfeng, you might as well kill him!"

Chu Tang was stunned and said: "Dean Tao, if you say this, Xu Lingfeng will not agree to it. It is better to die than to live! Although he has lost an arm, he still has a small life!"

Tao Ying sneered: "Life is worse than death, so what's the use of staying alive?"

Chu Tang became even more helpless and said: "Actually, Chu really didn't mean it, he just couldn't control it and just cut off his arm with a sword."

Tao Ying said angrily: "You just happened to make him a useless person."

Chu Tang said: "Dean Tao, you are not allowed to discriminate against people with disabilities. I know a hero who also lost his right hand when he was young. Later, he used his left hand to develop a unicorn arm... Oh no, he developed a hand. His superb martial arts skills are still invincible in the world."

"Oh?" Tao Ying expressed interest, "You know so many heroes! Who is so inspiring? Tell me about it?"

"He...he has disappeared. He doesn't want others to disturb him and prefers to remain unknown. We won't mention his name so as not to offend him."

Tao Ying sneered and said, "You'd better not mention these weird heroes in the future, lest anyone bother to track them down."

Chu Tang was stunned for a moment and asked carefully: "Dean Tao, this thoughtful person refers to..."

Tao Ying was silent for a while, couldn't help but glanced at the curtain of the car window, and then said slowly: "It's best not to mention things and people that you can't talk to others in the future, including me!"

Chu Tang listened carefully. The wheels of the carriage were extremely loud in the dark night. In addition, there was the clatter of horse hooves, which was long and crisp.

Outside the car were the guards led by Tang Yue, who were accompanying them all the way, both in front and behind.

Chu Tang realized something and felt very regretful. He felt that many of his previous actions seemed to be a bit exaggerated and overly pretentious.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang said gratefully: "Thank you, Dean Tao, for the advice. From now on, Chu will be a martial arts genius. He figured out many martial arts by himself. He is self-taught without a teacher, and there is no one behind him." Guidance.”

"Is this how you understand my words?" Tao Ying couldn't laugh or cry, and finally sighed, "That's all, it's up to you! As everyone said, the way of martial arts is led by the master and practiced by the individual. From this aspect, you are really a Genius! If you are not gifted, how can you explain that you defeated Xu Lingfeng, who is in the sixth realm, with the body of the fifth realm? At least, in the eyes of outsiders, after tonight, you will be a rare young genius."

Chu Tang sighed and then asked: "Dean Tao, with Xu Lingfeng ending up like this, Luoshen Valley won't cause any more trouble, right?"

"What, are you scared?" Tao Ying smiled.

Chu Tang sighed: "I'm afraid of trouble!

Tao Ying said: "Even Xu Lingfeng, who understood the power of the sword, fell into your hands. The more people from Luo Shen Valley come, the greater the losses will be. They are also afraid, okay?"

"Didn't I say that there are many experts in the Seventh Realm in Luoshen Valley?"

"Those are the masters of the upper three realms. They don't take action easily!" Tao Ying explained, "Besides, the Luoshen Valley has a big tree that attracts wind, and it is a thorn in the side of the imperial court. If the masters of the upper three realms are dispatched to walk around, if they dare to cause trouble, the Yiyi Guards will It’s not like you’re just eating dry food!”

Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as the person who comes is not a master of the upper three realms, then Chu will be relieved."

Tao Ying pouted and said, "Why, people from the Sixth Realm are no longer worthy of your attention?"

Chu Tang's heart suddenly trembled and he said: "What the hell! If it's a master like Dean Tao, Chu will have no choice but to be defeated."

"Don't put gold on my face!" Tao Yingying was inexplicably angry, "If you can hurt Xu Lingfeng, you can definitely handle me, who is as powerful as him."

Chu Tang laughed sarcastically and quickly explained: "Didn't this use a secret technique? As a result, Dean Tao, you also saw it. Once the secret technique was used, the whole body was paralyzed. Afterwards, Chu had no choice but to be slaughtered by others."

"Don't come here!" Tao Ying snorted, "With your personality, I can't believe that you didn't leave any backup plan. If nothing else, after the secret skill burst out and killed someone, with your lightness, you can use your remaining strength to fight back Now, it’s okay to run away far away.”

Chu Tang touched his nose, feeling embarrassed about being seen through.

Dean Tao’s eyes are too poisonous!

The words are too straightforward!

It has to be said that although they have not known each other for a long time, Tao Ying does have a deep understanding of Chu Tang's temperament.

As she said, going crazy without leaving any options behind is not Chu Tang's style.

It's just that people like Tao Ying are here tonight. Otherwise, facing Xu Lingfeng's sword power, even if Chu Tang breaks out his secret skills, he won't use his trump card to fight, but will run away!

You can keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood.

Being stubborn for a moment is not cowardice, but for future recklessness.

Well, Chu Tang just did this mental construction, and as the carriage swayed, he returned to Wutong Academy at the end of Haishi.

As midnight approaches, the thin clouds in the sky are like light gauze covering the moon, adding a touch of sadness.

At the gate of the academy, Tao Ying took Chu Tang, who had regained some strength, to say goodbye to Tang Yue.

At the end of the day, Tao Ying said to Tang Yue: "Chu Tang defeated Xu Lingfeng at the expense of a secret skill this time. Now he is extremely weak and cannot recover without a few months of rest. Tang Yue, how can he?" They are all members of the imperial court, and if Luoshen Valley continues to cause trouble, you will have to step in to coordinate."

Tang Yue turned his head and looked at the pale Chu Tang, and asked doubtfully: "Secret skill? It won't have any impact on the body, right?"

Chu Tang quickly shook his head and said that he could recover, but it would take a longer time. At the end, he said: "This secret skill was taught by Zhuo Baotou from Guijun. If it weren't for his generous teaching, Chu would probably be defeated by Xu Lingfeng's sword tonight." .”

"Zhuo Lien?" Tang Yue asked again.

"Yes, the secret skill is Zhuo Baotou's exclusive martial arts. He respected it and taught it to me." Chu Tang answered honestly.

This is true from the beginning, and I am not afraid of anyone checking it.

Besides, Zhuo Lien fought with others that day, and used the Tiangang Disintegration Technique in full view of everyone, and sustained him until the arrival of the Yiyi Guards, which solved the crisis.

This matter cannot be hidden from anyone who cares.

Tang Yue nodded, took a deep look at Chu Tang, and said with a complicated expression: "Then take care of yourself and try to recover as soon as possible."

Chu Tang was grateful and thanked him.

Tang Yue exchanged a few words with Tao Ying before leaving.

After seeing off Tang Yue, Tao Ying called the concierge and together with them sent Chu Tang back to the small courtyard where he lived to settle down.

After sending the concierge away, Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang who was sitting on the chair in the room.

The candlelight was bright, and the orange light still couldn't hide Chu Tang's pale face.

"Chu Tang, do you understand why I mentioned your secret skills to Tang Yue?" Tao Ying asked.

Chu Tang nodded and said: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. Dean Tao wants to make the wind outside smaller, right?"

Tao Ying smiled and said: "As long as you understand. The five realms are better than the six realms that understand the power of the sword. It's too exaggerated! If it spreads to everyone, I'm afraid someone will covet your martial arts and treat you too much. There are disadvantages. But if there are secret skills to assist, it would be much more reasonable."

Chu Tang smiled and said: "Dean Tao is still thoughtful. Besides, Chu was able to win by overdrafting his body with secret skills. This is a fact and cannot be denied."

Tao Ying chuckled, and then asked after a while: "Are you sure you want me to protect you?"

"Of course!" Chu Tang said with a bitter smile, "Dean Tao, why don't you always believe in Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu is really weak now. People in the lower three realms can kill me."

Tao Ying said "oh" and asked again: "How many days do you need to be escorted?"

Chu Tang thought for a moment and said, "Two or three days."

Tao Ying shouted: "Chu Tang, what other words are you telling the truth? You said before that you would be weak for ten days and a half, and now you say two or three days?"

Chu Tang said innocently: "Dean Tao, Mr. Chu said that it will take ten days and a half to recover to 70% to 80%. Two or three days of effort is enough to recover 40 to 50% of the skill. There are 40 to 50% Combat strength, if Xiao Xiao comes to the door, even if Chu cannot kill the enemy, he will still have no problem in protecting himself. You are the dean of the academy, how dare Chu bother you for ten days and a half."

Tao Ying was speechless, and after a long while he said: "Okay, I'll have someone clean it up, and I'll live in the side room of this courtyard and be your gatekeeper for two or three days. Fortunately, this place is far away from where I live. It’s not far away and the layout is convenient.”

Chu Tang was overjoyed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Dean!"

Tao Ying said: "I'm just a gatekeeper, I won't serve you. Don't worry, I'll let that girl Qingyue serve you."

Chu Tang: "..."

Tao Ying ignored him and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned back and said seriously: "Chu Tang, are you ready to become famous throughout Liangzhou and face strange looks wherever you go?"

"Ah?" Chu Tang didn't react for a moment.

Tao Ying smiled and walked away.

After a long while, Chu Tang came back to his senses, thought about Tao Ying's words, and after a long time he stopped laughing and whispered: "There will be such a day, isn't it?"

Outside the door, the moonlight is like washing, and the earth is hazy.

The night is getting deeper.

…

At midnight, under the full moon, the Luoshen Valley surrounded by young people, reflected by the lake light and surrounded by corridors and pavilions, looks even more ethereal, like a fairyland.

The green mountains are like black daisy, the night wind blows gently, and the night is as cool as water.

In a courtyard at the back of the valley, Luo Changying could not calm down. On the contrary, she was still a little uneasy.

He was so irritable that he couldn't even calm down while meditating, so he had to walk to the yard, sit on a stone pillar under the tree, and watch the beautiful moonlight.

Over the years, he has rarely been as nervous as he was tonight.

It is said that one's ears are smooth at sixty, and Luo Changying, who is almost seventy, has almost reached the state of following one's heart.

In the past few years, even the humiliation of losing to the Swordsman of the East China Sea in succession, which was ridiculed by the world, he has gradually looked down upon and no longer cared about it.

This is an improvement in his state of mind and a change in his mentality after he has gone through most of his life.

However, Luo Changying couldn't even sleep tonight!

He also knows why——

Tonight, his second disciple duels with someone!

The outcome and the safety of the opponent are all Luo Changying's concerns.

It stands to reason that he has full confidence in his disciples, but for some reason, there is always a slight uneasiness in his heart.

This uneasiness made him feel very uncomfortable.

"I shouldn't be like this." Luo Changying sighed secretly. He shouldn't be so distrustful of Xu Lingfeng.

That was the genius disciple he had painstakingly cultivated for more than twenty years!

If nothing unexpected happens, within two or three years, his disciple will be able to enter the upper three realms and become the top group of Kyushu warriors.

Luo Changying has three disciples. The eldest disciple is the one he values ​​the most, the third disciple is the one he loves the most, and the one he has the deepest affection for is the second disciple.

The eldest disciple Wu Linkong is a steady person, and he practices martial arts steadily and calmly. Luo Changying has high expectations for him.

The third disciple, Shi Ziqian, was the most talented. He was born with sword bones and was able to practice swordsmanship rapidly. As a master, there was no reason why he would not dislike such a disciple.

The difference between Xu Lingfeng and these two disciples is that he has followed Luo Changying since he was a child.

The eldest disciple and the third disciple were already very young when they entered the sect. They were in their teens and could be regarded as apprentices with their skills.

Only Xu Lingfeng was an orphan. He was accepted as a disciple by Luo Changying when he was five or six years old. It can be said that Luo Changying single-handedly raised him.

For more than twenty years, the relationship between the two is like that of a father and son!

Luo Changying regards Xu Lingfeng as his son, and Xu Lingfeng also respects Luo Changying as a father, and has a deep affection that goes beyond the relationship between master and disciple.

It was also because of this deep feeling that Luo Changying couldn't bear to see that Xu Lingfeng was obsessed with inner demons, so she did not hesitate to find out the ancient rules of Xun Wu Ling for him, hoping that through the duel of Xun Wu Ling, he could kill his inner demons.

And tonight is the time for Xu Lingfeng's decisive battle!

Concern leads to chaos, and Luo Changying cannot treat Xu Lingfeng's duel as calmly as usual.

Luo Changying, who has gone through ups and downs for decades, knows better than anyone that there is danger in warriors whenever they take action.

Because you never know what cards your opponent has!

Shi Ziqian's death made Luo Changying dare not underestimate Xu Lingfeng's opponent.

Luo Changying was also quite afraid of Chu Tang's lightning-fast sword drawing skills and Shi Ziqian's death method.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

A knock on the door outside the hospital woke up Luo Changying, who was thinking so much.

"Who?" He stood up and shouted.

"Great Elder, a letter from Qingcheng!" someone outside the door responded.

Luo Changying stood up and hurried to the courtyard gate.

He had previously told the following to always pay attention to letters from Qingcheng.

Earlier, he also ordered Luoshen Valley's station in Qingcheng to quickly report back the situation of Xu Lingfeng's duel as soon as possible.

Now it seems that this information should be coming.

Walking to the short courtyard gate, Luo Changying saw a young man waiting anxiously outside. He couldn't help but ask first: "What's going on over there in Qingcheng?"

"Great Elder..." The young man lowered his head in fear, looking speechless.

Luo Changying's whole body suddenly went cold, and an unpleasant feeling surged deep in her heart. She couldn't help but asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The young man bent down and handed Luo Changying a piece of paper with both hands, and said in a lonely tone: "Great Elder, the details are written on it, please take a look!"

Luo Changying took the paper numbly and glanced at it. Just after reading the first line of text, her pupils suddenly tightened and her hands began to tremble!
