Chapter 40 The Peacock Girl's Provocation
Brother Chen committed suicide.
On the fifth day after Senior Brother Chen was arrested, Senior Brother Zhang delivered the meals prepared for Senior Brother Chen into the secret room as usual, only to find that the huddled black figure in the corner of the secret room had been dead for a long time.
Hu Yizhi, who was checking Liu Xiaolu's cultivation progress, didn't seem too surprised when he heard the news. He just said in a heavy tone, "I know."
Then he closed his mouth and looked out the window in a daze. The Bright Moon Peak in early summer was still as beautiful as before.
Senior Brother Zhang waited for a while and saw that the Peak Master had no other instructions, so he excused himself and left.
"Master?"
Liu Xiaolu called out softly.
"Well, what's the matter?"
Hu Yizhi finally came to his senses and looked away from the familiar scenery outside the window.
"Well... I want to participate in the law competition next month."
Liu Xiaolu's face turned red, he hesitated, and spoke in a very low voice, as if he lacked confidence.
"Can."
Liu Xiaolu, who didn't expect Hu Yizhi to agree immediately, was obviously a little surprised. He blushed and continued, "But... I heard that the disciples participating in the Law Hall Competition are all above the fourth level of the day after tomorrow."
Hu Yizhi then turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaolu, waiting for her next words.
"But now I only have the second level of Baoyue Jue, so I'm afraid I won't be their opponent..."
Hearing this, Hu Yizhi nodded in agreement, "Then I won't go."
"Uh..." Liu Xiaolu's breath stopped, and he continued to speak, "Master... can you lend me some treasures, such as... the cyan treasure you used that day?"
Hu Yizhi shook his head, and Liu Xiaolu was immediately discouraged. Although he knew that it was unlikely to ask the master to borrow the treasure, he was still a little disappointed after being rejected.
Liu Xiaolu lowered his head dejectedly, and suddenly felt a soft touch on his head.
It turned out that it was Hu Yizhi who reached out and rubbed Liu Xiaolu's bun, and said with a slight smile, "This thing can only be driven by holding the fourth level of the moon. It is of no use to you now. Practice with peace of mind, and wait for the future..."
As if he thought of something, Hu Yizhi paused for a moment before continuing, "I will prepare it for you as a teacher in the future."
Hearing that he would have the opportunity to use such a powerful treasure in the future, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but be a little excited. But then he thought about the fourth level of the Moon Holding Technique, and he didn't know when he would be able to break through the third level of the Moon Holding Technique... He suddenly felt excited.
The energy was extinguished by a basin of cold water.
After coming out of Master's room, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but feel hesitant.
It’s less than a month before the Lutang competition begins, and the deadline for registration is within these days. Wang Xiaobao, Mo Xiaoyuan, Luo Lin and others have already registered early, so do you want to participate?
Woolen cloth?
The Lutang is an organization within the Kongwu Sect that is responsible for enforcing sect rules and punishing erring disciples, similar to the nature of a law enforcement team. The disciples in the hall are all highly skilled in martial arts and are managed by dedicated Lutang elders, who assign tasks and teach martial arts.
The Law Hall selects disciples with the same frequency as the sect recruits new disciples, which is once every five years. The selection time is in the second year after the new disciples start, which is next month.
Liu Xiaolu knew in his heart that he was definitely not the opponent of other disciples in a fight, but he was reluctant to give up the generous treatment of the disciples of the Lu Hall, and for a while he felt a little hard to choose.
In fact, she is not too far away from the third level of holding the moon. Maybe she can break through in the next few days? Or maybe she is lucky enough to meet a few opponents who are as weak as herself.
Just thinking about it like this, when Liu Xiaolu finally stopped and looked up, he had walked to the door of Luxing Hall without knowing it.
Luxing Hall is where registration for the Lutang Competition is held. It’s already lunch time, and the disciple responsible for registering registration information is still surrounded by several circles of people inside and outside.
Are these...all the disciples who are going to participate in the Law Hall Competition?
Liu Xiaolu couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then looked at the disciples in front of him one by one. Then he realized that among the disciples in front of him, none seemed to be able to beat him, and he couldn't help but retreat.
Although fifty taels of gold was very tempting to her, she would not seek out the abuser if she knew it was impossible to pass!
Glancing towards the Luxing Palace again, Liu Xiaolu turned around and planned to go back to Bright Moon Peak in despair.
"Hey! Stinky girl! I'm talking about you! Why are you running away!"
Before I had taken two steps, a girl's voice came from behind me.
Liu Xiaolu stopped in confusion and turned around to look.
I saw a little girl with a pink face and two small buns on her head hurrying towards her.
Seeing the person coming, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but frown, wondering why he was this annoying peacock.
"What are you doing? Still want to fight?"
Liu Xiaolu didn't have a good impression of this woman and said angrily.
"Fighting? Just you?" Li Qingwu glanced sideways at Liu Xiaolu, "If that brat hadn't been meddling in his own business last time, you would have been beaten up by me."
"You...I can't beat you, but your helper can't beat my helper, we are even!" Liu Xiaolu was very angry, but what Peacock said was right, she probably also has acquired fourth- and fifth-level skills.
He looked like he was indeed no match, so he could only roll his eyes.
"Hmph, who said I'm going to fight with you today?" Somehow, Li Qingwu was particularly calm today.
"Then why did you stop me?" Liu Xiaolu obviously didn't think she was here to say hello to him.
"I just want you to give a message to the brat who injured my god brother that day. He'd better not participate in this year's law competition, otherwise I want him to look good!"
Li Qingwu glanced at Liu Xiaolu with disdain, "As for you, you probably don't even have the third level of the day after tomorrow, right? Huh, you are a loser who is not even qualified to participate in the selection of the Law Hall."
Liu Xiaolu was stabbed in a sore spot, and for a moment he couldn't find anything to say to refute, so he could only stare angrily.
"It's a good thing that you don't participate, so that you don't meet me and get beaten all over the place..." Seeing Liu Xiaolu's angry look, Li Qingwu was extremely proud.
"Xiao Wu."
At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from the Luxing Hall.
The arrogant Li Qingwu froze when he heard this woman's voice. He glared at Liu Xiaolu fiercely, then turned around and ran back in the direction of the Star Recording Palace.
Liu Xiaolu looked at Li Qingwu running away, feeling a little confused for a moment.
What's going on with this peacock girl today? It's not like her to only thunder and not rain. She just ran away after saying harsh words? Doesn't she think she can beat Luo Lin in the law hall competition just by herself?
Right? Fang Qian had all the treasures that day and there was nothing he could do about it, Luo Lin.
No! Liu Xiaolu’s expression suddenly changed.
Peacock Girl couldn't beat Luo Lin, and the helper Fang Gan she found couldn't beat Luo Lin. So if Peacock Girl is still so arrogant today, she must have found a new helper!
Luo Lin's strength was witnessed by Peacock Girl that day. Even Shuiyue Peak's direct disciple Fang Gan couldn't do anything to him, and ordinary new disciples were no match for him. So who did Peacock Girl find as a helper?
