Chapter 193: Everyone, Say Hello
Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming looked at Fang Cheng Lang in fear.

For a moment, they both thought First Senior Brother’s sword would point at Quan Ye.

“Since you think I’m such an incompetent First Senior Brother,” Fang Cheng Lang said coldly, “then from now on you don’t need to call me First Senior Brother anymore.”

He threw down those words and strode away.

“First Senior Brother!”

Sensing that Fang Cheng Lang’s mood was wrong, Lan Zi Yu quickly ran after him.

Su Ming punched Quan Ye in the chest and said: “I told you not to talk nonsense. Great, now you’ve made First Senior Brother angry too!”

Quan Ye regretted his words right after he said them, but his pride forced him to keep his mouth stiff.

“First Senior Brother was the one who was wrong first. We are his Junior Brothers, but he just has to stand up for that other fake.”

“Is that Yu Zhao really fake?” Su Ming was half doubtful.

“She is definitely fake!” Quan Ye thumped his chest and promised. “Right now it’s not good to make a move on Wending Pavilion’s turf. But when we get to Floating Island, I will rip off her fake skin and show her true face!”

Hearing how certain he sounded, Su Ming could not help but believe him a little.

If the current Yu Zhao was fake, then it made sense that she tried so hard to keep her distance from them.

She was probably afraid of giving herself away and did not dare get too close to them. She had to make up some excuses on purpose to push them away.

First Senior Brother and Fourth Brother had also been fooled by her words. They really thought they owed her too much, without knowing that she was just a worthless fake.

Su Ming believed he had found the truth, and the heavy stone pressing on his chest was suddenly gone.

He happily patted Quan Ye’s shoulder and said: “Fifth Brother, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

“Third Senior Brother, just wait and watch the good show!”

On the other side.

Lan Zi Yu chased into Fang Cheng Lang’s room and saw him standing by the window. Fine dust floated in the golden light and blurred his gentle features.

“First Senior Brother…”

Looking at Fang Cheng Lang standing in the sunlight, Lan Zi Yu suddenly felt a strange sadness in his heart.

“Zi Yu,” Fang Cheng Lang asked softly, “have I been a complete failure as First Senior Brother?”

“Of course not.”

Master Qing Yan was in Closed-Door Cultivation all year round, so Fang Cheng Lang had taken Master’s place to guide them in their cultivation.

Lan Zi Yu started counting the things Fang Cheng Lang had done for their group of brothers. He could not even count them all on ten fingers.

“I used to think I was doing very well,” Fang Cheng Lang said bitterly. “If Little Six hadn’t left so firmly, I still wouldn’t have discovered my problem.”

“First Senior Brother, there is actually something I’ve wanted to say for a long time,” Lan Zi Yu said. “Before Junior Sister came to Lone Moon Peak, we treated Yu Zhao well, didn’t we?

“Whenever there was something fun or interesting, we let her pick first. Even the quiet Cui Jue coaxed her to play every day.

“Yu Zhao enjoyed our care for so many years, but when Junior Sister came, she wasn’t willing to give any of it up. I think we actually spoiled her. She can’t even stand a little grievance.”

Fang Cheng Lang was almost laughed to anger by his shameless words.

Now he finally understood why Zhou Jin Yue had slapped him that day before he even finished speaking.

She really had not been able to hold back.

Even now, Lan Zi Yu still thought Yu Zhao had lived very well on Lone Moon Peak. In his mind, the only upsetting thing was that the brothers liked the later-joined Ye Cong Xin more and ignored Yu Zhao.

When two people did not see things the same way, saying more was pointless.

Fang Cheng Lang also lost his desire to tell Lan Zi Yu about his dream.

“You can go,” he said. “One day you will understand.”

Understand how terribly wrong you were.

Only, when you want to turn back then, it will already be too late.

Lan Zi Yu did not want to leave, but no matter what he said at the side, Fang Cheng Lang no longer answered him.

The moment he stepped out the door, he felt as if he had missed something extremely important.

He turned around, wanting to fix it, but the door slammed shut with a loud bang.

He stood in front of the room door, lost and empty, for a long time.

…

“Senior Sister Yu!”

Ji Han Zhou looked at Yu Zhao, who had just opened the door. A silly grin bloomed on his face.

“Why did you come too?” Yu Zhao raised an eyebrow.

“Too?”

Ji Han Zhou instantly caught that key word.

Thinking of the warnings from his Sect Master and his mother, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

Yu Zhao stepped to the side and showed a room full of people: “Say hello, everyone. This is Heavenly Sword Sect’s Ji Han Zhou, Junior Brother Ji.”

“Hi!”

“Junior Brother Ji is here too.”

“Junior Brother Ji, you came too late. There’s no place left to sit in the room. Let me see, there’s a corner over there. You can squat over by the wall.”

“…”

All kinds of greetings slammed into Ji Han Zhou’s face one after another, making him feel dizzy.

He had known his mother’s words were unreliable!

She had said things like, women dress up for the ones they like, and if you want to grab a woman’s heart, you must first grab her eyes.

He believed her and had carefully washed and dressed himself in his room before coming over. He never thought others would get here before him.

The main thing was that there were too many people in the room. Where had they all come from?

“Junior Brother Ji, I don’t need to introduce them, right?” Yu Zhao said with a smile. “They are all disciples who came to take part in the Sect Competition with you.”

Ji Han Zhou looked carefully. Sure enough, they were all familiar faces.

From Greenwood Sect, there were Mu Ye and You Fei. From Hundred Flowers Valley, there were Mo Ci and Jing Nan. From Wending Pavilion, there were Yan Shan and Qi Qi. And then there was one bald head that did not match the others at all…

Wait, bald head?!

“Why is Bu Yan here too!”

Ji Han Zhou’s eyes almost popped out.

He could still understand why the others were sitting here. After all, everyone had the same goal, and they all understood each other without saying it.

But the people from Clarity Sound Temple were a group of Buddhist Cultivators. They could not really be planning to have Yu Zhao shave her head and become a nun, right?

Bu Yan smiled and bowed: “Junior Brother Ji, I’m here as a guest.”

Of course he would not say that he had rushed over just to watch the fun.

[Hehe, good thing I came early and grabbed the last chair.]

Since Ji Han Zhou had come late, he could only stand off to the side.

“Come on, everyone move a bit and make some space for our Junior Brother Ji.”

He was here now, and they could not just throw Ji Han Zhou out.

Everyone shifted here and there and finally made a place for Ji Han Zhou too.

Then, the room fell into a strange silence.

Yu Zhao leaned against the door frame, looking at the large group of people inside with a half-smile: “Didn’t you all say you had something to say to me just now? You can say it now.”

Everyone looked at each other. No one was the first to open their mouth.

Poaching someone from another sect was not a very glorious thing to say out loud.

Also, the conditions their sects had offered were better suited for private talks. It was not good to discuss them in front of everyone.

“If you won’t speak, then I will,” someone said.

Hundred Flowers Valley’s Mo Ci stood up.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, but they held back their urge to speak and decided to listen to the conditions Mo Ci would offer first.

“Fellow Daoist Yu,” Mo Ci said, “it’s like this. After watching your match, our Valley Master admired you very much and wants to invite you to visit Hundred Flowers Valley. When Floating Island ends, you can travel back with us on our flying boat to Hundred Flowers Valley and taste our valley’s fine wines and dishes.”

Everyone: !!!

So that was it. They had never thought the female cultivators of Hundred Flowers Valley, who looked so gentle and soft, would have more little schemes than a beehive has holes. This was clearly trying to just carry her off directly.

So treacherous!
