I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1348 This old Taoist priest is cunning and wicked!

The weather was fine and sunny, but the day was anything but ordinary.

Today, the old Celestial Master was dressed in a snow-white robe, without his three disciples by his side, and came to this martial arts competition alone.

Over the course of several days, the venue for the competition has expanded considerably. Neither the Ministry of Works nor the Jingzhao Prefecture expected it to be so popular, rivaling even the former World Games.

Especially when locals set up stalls here to sell their goods, many people arrive in the morning with a large basket of goods, and sell out before noon.

Over the course of a few days, those who were more diligent earned quite a bit.

It's one thing that people from the martial arts world are generous and forthright, but another thing is that there are just too many people.

So these tea stalls, taverns and other small sheds were also set up, thanks to the help of the Shence Army, the Chixia Army and the Imperial Guard.

The old master smiled gently, walked to a tea stall, looked at the little girl in plain clothes wiping the table, and asked softly, "May I sit down?"

The little girl turned around and stared at the young Taoist priest in a daze. What a handsome Taoist priest! He looked like a deity from a picture book.

But the next moment, the little girl came to her senses and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, of course you can!"

The little girl hurriedly wiped the stool with a rag, but as she wiped, she ended up using her sleeve instead. Who would let this deity sit on a stool wiped with a dirty rag?

After the old Taoist master sat down with a smile, the little girl immediately asked, "What kind of tea would you like, Taoist Master? My dad said that if you are thirsty, you can drink some plain water for free. If you want tea, I will go and brew a pot for you right away. It's not very good tea, it's just some tea that we grow and dry ourselves back home."

Her small face seemed to be looking forward to the Taoist priest saying he wanted to drink tea, whether she wanted to see the Taoist priest more or for some other reason.

The old master smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you with the tea, young lady."

The little girl immediately smiled brightly and turned to run into the small shed.

He returned quickly, carrying a very clean teacup and kettle.

The young girl was a little nervous at first, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Taoist priest did not mind the simplicity of her teacup.

The old master took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Luozi leaves from Jiangling? Fine tea."

The little girl scratched her face, smiling shyly, but also looking at the old celestial master with surprise: "It's Luo Ziye, Daoist Master? Did he go?"

The old master nodded: "I passed through there when I was young and stayed there for a while. I often drank Luozi tea. However, the young lady's Luozi tea is much more mellow and fragrant than any I have tasted before."

The old master exhaled gently, blowing out cool air, and then took a sip.

The little girl watched and thought the Taoist priest looked very ethereal as he drank tea.

The old master noticed the little girl's scrutinizing gaze, and when he returned the smile, the little girl immediately blushed deeply.

The old master asked with a smile, "There are so many people in the martial arts world, are there any troublemakers?"

The little girl immediately shook her head: "No, they are all very kind people. Before we came, my father and I were worried that someone might cause trouble, since we are just tea sellers. But we didn't expect that everyone would help us after we arrived. A rich young man bumped into a stool, and he helped it up himself, bowed to us, and left. Back in our hometown, we wouldn't even dare to dream of this. Everyone says it's thanks to His Majesty and the Empress."

The old master smiled.

At this moment, a woman with her eyes closed walked over. The woman was very elegant, and her aura exuded a gentle and comfortable feeling.

The old celestial master saw this and laughed, "It's been so many years since I've seen you look like this."

The woman with her eyes closed, Luo Ying Shan Liu Xu'er, smiled and said, "I'm more curious as to why you asked us to come here like this."

Just as Liu Xuer was about to sit down, a young man, about eight feet tall and dressed in coarse cloth shoes, suddenly appeared. He wasn't handsome, but he was exceptionally strong, his exposed arms muscular and firm, like blocks of iron. The young girl was about to speak when she heard the old Taoist say, "Bring two more teacups."

The little girl nodded immediately, but her eyes darted to the two people. One of them was an extremely beautiful woman who could see the way even with her eyes closed.
And that older brother who looks really impressive, even though he looks like a martial artist, he has a book on his waist, like a scholar.

Wu Qinhu, the beastman, took the teacup from the little girl, thanked her, and then looked at the old celestial master.

The little girl was perceptive and quickly left.

Wu Qinhu looked at the old celestial master: "You also invited other people, didn't you?"

The old celestial master didn't hide anything and said directly, "Except for Liu Su and Li Yunxian, everyone else was called."

After taking a sip of tea, Wu Qinhu said, "Besides the three of us, Yu Taohua, Yan Yunxiao, Wu Shuang, Kuyue, the old blind man, Yang Huayan, and the old poisoner are all among these twelve. Is there something you need to do?"

The old master sighed, "Qinhu, what do you think of this martial arts demonstration?"

Wu Qinhu was puzzled, but still replied, "It was lively and quite good. Although I didn't get to spar with anyone I wanted to, and many truly skilled people were eliminated in the twelve, luck is also a part of strength."

The old master gently tapped the table: "Don't you find it boring?"

"It is somewhat boring."

The person who answered was not Wu Qinhu, but the blind young man who suddenly appeared.

The girl who had been secretly glancing over here gasped. Another extremely handsome person, but also with their eyes closed.

Do people in Beijing like this?
But at this moment, a young man carrying a knife case approached. Unlike the others, this young man exuded a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world).

The fifth pair sat down next to the old blind man, asked the young girl for two bowls of tea, and then looked at the old celestial master: "So, what do you want to do?"

After saying that, he laughed and scolded, "Don't play riddles, or I'll be afraid that guy over there will bring it up again."

As he spoke, the fifth pair of eyes glanced at the tavern not far away, where a tall woman carrying a disgruntled woman named Kuyue was being held in one hand.

The old master smiled and said, "Since you're here, why are you hiding? We've seen you like this before."

As soon as the old celestial master finished speaking, a strange man in a purple robe, with long hair reaching his waist and purple eyes, walked out.

Wu Muchi, leader of the Gu Immortal Cult.

Wu Muchi glanced at the old celestial master: "You summoned me, and I've come, but I won't participate in what you're going to do."

The old master laughed and said, "If you don't participate, we'll all take care of you."

Wu Mu frowned, but sat on the bench without saying a word, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The old celestial master laughed and said, "Do you all still remember how, back in the day, Li Yunxian or Yunxiao girl, they were both very flamboyant, brandishing swords and knives at such a grand gathering, cutting down a whole bunch of us?"

The crowd remained silent, their gazes towards the old master growing even more curious.

The old master said, "That young lady named Liu Su doesn't have the guts, which makes this competition a bit boring. So I was thinking, why don't we take advantage of today's competition and go up against him all at once? Force him to use his real skills."

……

P.S.: I made a mistake with the timer. I just realized it; the timer I set last night at 1 AM was set for 10 AM this morning.
