Chapter 95: Choosing a Husband
With the return of all the students, the Xianyuan Conference officially ended.
Xiaoyao Palace announces that everyone will return to the residence for the time being, for those who should rest, and those who should recuperate, three days later, Xiaoyao Palace will hold a grand banquet to entertain the guests. At that time, the choice of the little palace owner and the ownership of Xiaoyao Palace will also be announced.
After getting the news, everyone went back together. When he was about to leave, Tang Jie saw Xu Miaoran's gaze, with a ray of sadness, and his heart moved, knowing that she must be dissatisfied with fighting for a spot for him, especially if this spot is not the Dumen Banner spot. Laughing to himself, he took out the paper crane letter and said, "I can't help it. Don't worry, the little palace master won't choose me."
Tang Jie really had no choice. There were only two of the three treasures in Tianyahai Pavilion, and the Moon Washing Sect. Tang Jie could give up one to the Qijue Sect due to lack of manpower, but he could not give up two. irresponsible.
And as long as two treasures are brought, according to the rules, they will be automatically assigned to the two people. There is no such thing as Wei Tianchong getting two of them alone, unless there are more treasures than people.
Tang Jie could have given up this quota to other people, but now everyone else has run away, and Tianya Haige happens to be three treasures, things have developed like this, Tang Jie can't do without the quota, it's considered The ducks were driven to the shelves.
Xu Miaoran's reply came quickly: "Why?"
Tang Jie smiled: "The talisman is used up, I will tell you next time, in short, you can rest assured."
After receiving this news, Xu Miaoran was finally relieved, and left with the masters of Tianya Haige. Tang Jie followed Xu Miaoran's back until a person forcibly broke into his field of vision.
Sapphire.
He still had the cross scar on his face, and he looked at Tang Jie with hatred in his eyes.
Facing the fiery gaze, Tang Jie smiled lightly, not paying attention to it, and left with Yiyi Xiaohu in his arms.
In the following time, everyone was completely free, and the shadow of fighting and death no longer hung over their heads. But most of the students didn't take the opportunity to go to the streets to have fun, but locked themselves in the house and closed the door.
A life-and-death match is actually a rare experience for every surviving student. Whether it is cultivation, fighting, xinxing, or experience, it means huge growth. It is precisely because of this that those students who have made progress take advantage of the institution to come to the door to meditate, digest and absorb these feelings. Not to mention them, even those students who missed the competition, such as Cai Junyang, Ping Jingyue and others, were deeply touched after watching the competition.
In contrast, Tang Jie had no comprehension.
He has experienced more life-and-death battles than other students. For him, there is not much to reflect on the intensity of this battle. Therefore, these few days when he has nothing to do, he just plays with Yiyi Xiaohu, which can be regarded as making up for not being with them these days. Sin, by the way, consolidate the realm of cultivation.
On the night of his return, Mu Yi handed over the Dumen Banner to Tang Jie as agreed, and also gave Tang Jie 12,000 spiritual coins, which was the price for buying the sixth magic weapon. This money was originally planned by Tang Jie to pay off the debt, but thanks to Xie Fengtang's care, it was finally able to be saved.
On the night of the third day, a large-scale event was officially held in Xiaoyao Palace.
Since the Xiaoyao Palace is located in the sky, for a while on Hongmeiling, practitioners from all walks of life flew towards the palace in the sky, and the scene was spectacular.
Following behind Xie Fengtang and other masters, Tang Jie and others also flew all the way up to the sky, and only after entering the clouds did they realize that the Yuyu Heavenly Palace is really extraordinary.
A large area of palaces and palaces appeared in the clouds, and thousands of golden lights emerged from them. In front of the clouds is a tall mountain gate with jade-built white pillars, and below are two rows of guards in golden armor holding halberds and whips, but they are disciples of Xiaoyao Palace, not puppet guards anymore.
Xie Fengtang led the crowd directly to land on the cloud, and Tang Jie and the others discovered that the cloud was actually solid, but the white mist covered its true appearance, and it looked like a heavenly palace.
"It's so imposing, those who don't know it think it's a fairy palace in the sky, a royal court of cultivators." Tang Jie said with a smile.
"Immortal Courtyard?" Xie Fengtang said with a sneer: "Is it worthy of such a boldness? Compared to the real fairy court, it can be used as a toilet at best."
These words were said in front of all the guards of Xiaoyao Palace, and the group of Xiaoyao Palace disciples were angry when they heard it, but they dared not speak.
It was Tang Jie who was curious: "Huh? Listening to what the master said, is there really a fairy garden in Qixia Realm?"
"Well..." Xie Fengtang hesitated for a moment, and said after a while: "There used to be, but it's not the Qixia Realm, but the Ten Thousand Realm King's Court."
"The royal court of ten thousand realms?" Everyone exclaimed at the same time: "The royal court that rules ten thousand realms? How is this possible?"
The barriers of the Star Luo Great Thousand Realm are strong, like islands in the sea, and it is difficult to pass through each other. Even if Sendai can be saved, how can relying on Sendai alone cross ten thousand realms and lead the group?
If this is really possible, wouldn't it mean that the Ten Thousand Realms Royal Court has thousands of great powers from Sendai?
Thinking of this number, everyone felt their scalps go numb.
Xie Fengtang nodded affirmatively: "Yes, but it's gone now."
"It's gone? Why not?" Everyone asked together.
Xie Fengtang shook his head: "I don't know either. There are too many truths about ancient secrets that have disappeared in the long river of time. Unless you can understand time and go back to the source, it will be difficult to solve the endless mysteries."
Hearing this, for some reason, Tang Jie's mind suddenly flashed the scene he saw when he untied the scriptures—under the endless void, a giant stood upright, facing the palace in the sky, shouting angrily...
While speaking, everyone had passed through the mountain gate, and there was a long bridge in front of them.
The bridge is built with gold carvings and jade, about 100 meters long. There are three watch pavilions on the bridge deck, and the cornices and arch walls are very exquisite. There are also animal heads engraved on the railings on both sides, one hundred and twenty-eight on the left and right sides, birds on the left and beasts on the right.
Stepping on the bridge, everyone looked down and saw a long black river flowing slowly under the bridge.
"This is the ** River, the boundary river of Xiaoyao Palace. If you allow this water to touch your skin, with your current cultivation base, within an hour or three quarters, your whole body will fester and die." Xie Fengtang said.
Looking at Tang Jie, he added: "You can have a moment longer."
Everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, and Ye Tianshang even sighed: "The prosperous scene is bright, and endless murderous intentions are hidden. This is the true face of the fairy family."
Xie Fengtang chuckled: "It's good to understand this point."
Wei Tianchong, however, was looking at the animal heads on the bridge. Looking at them one by one, he felt that they were so lifelike. While walking, he glanced at a monkey's animal head, and patted the animal's head casually, and saw that the animal head suddenly slowed down. Slowly turned around and stared at himself.
Wei Tianchong was startled: "It's looking at me!"
Everyone turned their heads together, but Xie Fengtang continued to walk forward without paying any attention: "These are Yinhe ghost beasts, and they are ** guardian beasts refined by Xiaoyao Palace. Each of them has the strength to transcend the peak."
Everyone looked at the 256 beast heads around them, and thought that if anyone walked across the bridge ignorantly and was suddenly attacked by these more than 200 beasts, even Tianxin Daoist would fall on the spot.
Tang Jie saw those ghost beasts standing still like stone statues, his heart moved, and he gently put his hand on one of the ghost beast's legs, as if admiring it, the golden needle slipped out of his hand, and it had already pierced the ghost beast's body . The underworld beast was restrained by the formation and could not attack, but its face suddenly changed color and glared at Tang Jie, but Tang Jie didn't care at all. The golden needle had already become hollow under Tang Jie's intention when it pierced, and a little blood had flowed from it. The beast dripped out and landed in the bottle that Tang Jie had already hidden in his sleeve.
Putting the golden needle under his nose and smelling it, Tang Jie immediately confirmed that the blood of the ghost beast is definitely an excellent spiritual material. Although he didn't know what it was useful for, Tang Jie was not polite, so he just walked over to collect it one by one. stand up.
After walking across the bridge, Tang Jie had already stabbed about dozens of ghost beasts, and nearly a bottle of blood had collected. Tang Jie had to go back and collect more. Xie Fengtang suddenly said: "The blood of ghost beasts cannot be regenerated. Enough is enough. Sigh, you should put it away if you are too plucking, after all, this is not the land of the Moon Sect."
Tang Jie blushed, bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
Only then did the others know what Tang Jie seemed to have done just now. Wei Tianchong asked Tang Jie curiously: "What kind of ghost blood did you get just now? What kind? Let me see."
Tang Jie wiped the blood stains on the golden needle on Wei Tianchong: "Here, this is it."
Then there was a sizzle, white smoke rose from Wei Tianchong's hand, Wei Tianchong's whole face was distorted in pain, he wanted to shout but didn't dare to, so he could only bear it.
Seeing him like that, Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat. Luckily, he was cautious enough not to touch him just now. He suppressed a smile and lowered his head to follow behind Xie Fengtang.
After crossing the long bridge, I walked for a while, and finally came to a magnificent hall surrounded by long tables made of white jade. Zhang and Zhangyu came and went before the case, and the guests sat behind the case talking, drinking and having fun, and there were dancers singing and dancing in the venue.
"It's really extravagant." A student blurted out.
Such a grand event with such a scale is rare even in the cultivation world.
Tang Jie said leisurely: "It's not surprising. This banquet is the last banquet held by Xiaoyao Palace in a free capacity. It is like a large-scale wedding. It is not only married to the young palace lord, but also to marry yourself. If so, how can you marry me?" Can you have the last glory."
Everyone was stunned, and only then did they realize that behind the superficial brilliance of their feelings was the bitterness of a large organization in the world of cultivation that was about to end. Perhaps it was because of this that they used that gorgeous pomp to cover up the pain in their hearts.
Thinking about Tang Jie's behavior just now, maybe you can understand, if they entered a free sect with their own dignity, how could they allow him to be so presumptuous?
In the end, she was about to get married and sent her under the fence, so she no longer cared so much about this foreign thing in front of her.
Thinking of this, Tang Jie suddenly felt that what he had just obtained was still too little.
Find an opportunity to get something else. At this time, Xiaoyao Palace may be the most generous and least caring time. If you don't fight the autumn wind at this time, when will you wait?
Everyone didn't know that he was full of troubled thoughts, so he followed Xie Fengtang all the way here and found his own seat to sit down.
At this time, the banquet had not yet started, Tang Jie charged a crime, came out in the name of sightseeing, and wandered around the Xiaoyao Palace, of course pretending to be looking at the scenery on the surface.
Thief Eye was still scurrying around, when he suddenly heard a humming behind him.
Looking back, it was Xu Miaoran standing behind him.
"Miaoran?" Tang Jie said pleasantly, and was about to hug her, but Xu Miaoran took a step back, pointed at Tang Jie and said, "You haven't told me about the top ten yet."
Tang Jie smiled wryly: "Didn't I run out of the thousand-mile communication talisman so I didn't say anything for the time being?"
Xu Miaoran snorted: "You'd better explain it clearly first, otherwise you won't need any communication symbols in the future."
Tang Jie had no choice but to say, "I'll just say it."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Tang Jie approached Xu Miaoran and said, "The little palace master is a fake."
"What?" Xu Miaoran was shocked and looked at Tang Jie.
Tang Jie nodded with certainty, and told Xu Miaoran what he heard that night.
Xu Miaoran was puzzled: "Even if the little palace lord is fake, what does that have to do with you? How can you be sure that the fake palace lord won't choose you?"
"You are stupid." Tang Jie scratched Xu Miaoran's little nose: "If the real palace master chooses a son-in-law, Xiaoyao Palace may consider the mood of the young palace master, and her preferences may directly affect the future of Xiaoyao Palace. Does the Palace Master have that influence?"
Xu Miaoran was stunned, and then came to her senses: "So... you mean... Xiaoyao Palace will ultimately decide on this matter?"
Tang Jie smiled more and more comfortably: "That's right."
Regarding the matter of Xianyuanhui, in order to shirk responsibility and avoid being caught in a dilemma among the six major factions, Xiaoyao Palace finally handed over the power of choice to the little palace master. But at that time, Tang Jie felt that it was absurd to entrust such an important matter to an heir to decide, and it was through the form of choosing a husband. This is not only irresponsible to the little palace master, but also irresponsible to Xiaoyaogong itself.
But after learning that the little palace lord was a fake, all doubts were naturally resolved. Since it is a fake palace lord who is launched, the nature of the matter has actually changed completely. It is not the choice of the little palace master that determines the future ownership of the Xiaoyao Palace, but the ownership of the Xiaoyao Palace determines the choice of the fake palace master.
The cause and effect relationship has been completely reversed.
"But so what?" Xu Miaoran still didn't understand.
Tang Jie replied: "Individuals have their own thinking, and sects have their choice of sect. If the palace lord chooses a husband, then don't ask, it must be the most handsome and capable one, such as Lan Yu. But if it is Xiaoyao Palace choosing a sect, It won’t be like this, they will definitely choose the one that is best for them.”
"Who would that be?"
"Originally, judging by their appearance, Tianshen Palace should have given them a lot of promises, and Xiaoyao Palace is very likely to choose them. However, no one of them is shortlisted this time, so let's not talk about it anymore. Choose from the remaining three factions. If I were the owner of Xiaoyao Palace, I would only choose Qijuemen from these three factions."
"Seven Absolute Gates?"
"Yes!" Tang Jie nodded with certainty: "As far as Xiaoyao Palace is concerned, it doesn't necessarily depend on who is the strongest, but who can benefit you the most. From this point of view, Qijuemen is actually more suitable. They It is true that his personal combat power is the weakest among the six major factions, but his overall combat power is definitely not weak. The reason why he is weak in the game is that there are rules and restrictions. In actual combat, Qijuemen does not have so many restrictions. Otherwise, Qijuemen would It is impossible to become one of the six major factions. Therefore, from the perspective of backing strength, Qijuemen is not bad, and in terms of financial resources, Qijuemen can be said to be the leader of the six factions. With Qijuemen, the same mission, Xiaoyao Palace will get the benefits The most. The most important thing is that the Qijue Sect's own strength is relatively weak, and compared with other sects, it will pay more attention to Xiaoyao Palace."
"So that's how it is." Xu Miaoran suddenly understood: "No wonder you will make a deal with Qijuemen. You knew that Qijuemen would be the winner this time as long as you have a treasure in your hand, right?"
"Yes!" Tang Jie affirmed: "I didn't realize this at first, but I gradually figured it out later. At that time, the Taiyi Qingxuan Cup was already in the hands of Qijuemen, and Qijuemen had already won It’s just that they themselves don’t know this. After I woke up, I knew that it was no longer necessary to compete with them, so I changed hands to cooperate with them. Otherwise, Tian Chong had already taken Mu Yi at that time, so why should I wake him up again? ? Just relying on those four Qijuemen students? I am sure to deal with them alone!"
These words are carried with strong self-confidence.
Xu Miaoran gave Tang Jie a hard look, and said in a low voice, "Since this is the case, then you still slapped my brother Lan? Do you know how many of my seniors and sisters are heartbroken because of him?"
Tang Jie smiled: "Who told him that he wanted to rob me of my wife. Just rob me, but he also used means to harm my brother, so I can't bear it."
Xu Miaoran gave him a kick: "If you do this, he will hate you to death."
On the surface it was reproachful, but in his heart he was sweetened by his words of "robbing me for a wife".
Tang Jie replied calmly: "Don't be afraid, I did this for the Xiyue Sect. When the sky comes down, the Xiyue Sect will support it."
At the beginning, he personally promised Xie Fengtang to "get rid of the most handsome". No matter how you look at it, the disfigurement meant to solve the opponent for the sect without adding trouble, so there was no need for Tang Jie to take action, and the Xiyue faction would not give Lan Yu any revenge. Opportunity. Besides, even if the Xiyue faction doesn't make a move, Tang Jie is not afraid of him.
Xu Miaoran was still a little worried, and asked again: "Then what if Xiaoyao Palace still chooses the Moon Sect for other reasons?"
There are only two students of the Xiyue Sect, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the fake palace master to pick Wei Tianchong.
Tang Jie smiled and said: "There are quite a few people who know about me and you now. Thinking about it, even if there are any changes in Xiaoyao Palace, they should not be so stupid as to pick me. If they really want to do this, then don't blame me Turn your face and be ruthless, and expose their fake palace masters. When the time comes, I will use this as an excuse to withdraw from the competition, and I will see what they will do!"
His voice was not low, and it faintly fell into the ears of a maid.
The maid passed by Tang Jie calmly, and disappeared after turning a few turns.
Xu Miaoran noticed that Tang Jie's eyes were fixed on the maid's back, she thought for a while, and understood: "The words have passed?"
Tang Jie smiled, pinched her catkins and said, "If it wasn't for the brothers and the others not being up to date, I wouldn't have to be forced to come back with a quota. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Seeing Tang Jie's sincere face, Xu Miaoran also inexplicably gained confidence.
Amidst the laughter, the banquet finally began.
Tang Jie and Xu Miaoran returned to their seats, and they saw that the Mistress of Xiaoyao Palace had already sat on the first seat, and the little Mistress with a veil on his lower seat.
For some reason, Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat when he saw the figure of the fake palace lord. For some reason, he felt familiar with the fake palace lord.
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace sitting at the top raised his hand, and the originally lively audience immediately fell silent.
The palace lord first said some polite words like thanking all the immortal families for their appreciation, congratulations, and the great success of this fairy fate meeting. After finishing speaking, he finally changed his mind:
"During this battle of the ten treasures, I, Xiaoyao Palace, have also seen the demeanor of the students of the six major schools. It can be said that there are so many talents, and all of them are dragons and phoenixes. It is a blessing for my daughter to choose to marry. But in the end, this matter is the little girl's own opinion, and we can't make the decision on my behalf, so let the little girl announce the result."
At the same time, everyone looked at the little palace master who was wearing a tulle mask on the top.
The little palace lord was silent for a while, and then said casually: "This time the competition for ten treasures..."
Hearing this voice, Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat.
The voice of the little palace master continued: "The best performers are undoubtedly Tang Jie of the Xiyue Sect, Mu Yi of Qijue Sect, Lin Wang, Deng Xiaoyu and Mu Yu of Qianqing Sect. The above are all outstanding people. After a careful decision, it is decided that the person who will stay together for a lifetime in the future will be..."
Her gaze suddenly turned to Tang Jie.
Tang Jie's heart sank, and he blurted out: "No!"
"Tang Jie!"
The sound of singing and singing echoed throughout the audience.
