Chapter 304 Why do you all want me to send you things?
In the next few days, Lu Ping was still visiting the scenery of Chunyang Palace in Huashan, but Li Wangsheng did not show up again.

Perhaps it was because he was just trying to be brave the whole time during that day's visit to Mount Huashan, pretending to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back, and had to rest for a few days.

Or perhaps it was because the end of the year was approaching and everyone in Chunyang Palace was really busy, so that he, the head of the palace, was unable to spare the time.

In short, Lu Ping did not see Li Wangsheng again in the next few days. Instead, because he was wandering around the mountain gate, he met Yu Rui every day.

Yu Rui is not only the think tank and brain of Chunyang Palace, but also the housekeeper. She is in charge of all matters big and small in the mountain gate. During festivals, or whenever something big happens in the mountain gate, she can arrange all the disciples properly.

Under such circumstances, she could still find time to entertain guests, read books, drink tea, and play chess. Even Lian Luping couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and admiringly called her a time management master.

During the time that Lu Ping was a guest at Chunyang Palace, Shen Jianxin unsurprisingly became the last disciple of Chunyang Palace.

Even if he entered the mountain sect with the Chunyang Book, he could not become a senior disciple overnight, but had to start from the grassroots level, under the pretext of "tempering his character."

This is normal, after all, most martial arts sects are like this.

Shen Jianxin was very frustrated about this arrangement, because when he left Daoxiang Village, he didn't want to continue being a security guard, but wanted to master advanced martial arts and become a great hero.

But now that I have finally arrived in Chunyang, I am still a closed disciple. It is just that I have changed my job as a security guard, and my life has not changed much.

So after work that day, he found Lu Ping and complained to him.

"You said...was it wrong for me to come out of Daoxiang Village?"

"Shen Zi, you must not think like that."

Lu Ping could only pat his shoulder and comfort him: "Although we are both security guards, is it the same to be a security guard in Chunyang Palace and a security guard in Daoxiang Village?"

"Is it different?"

"Of course it's different!"

Lu Ping said affirmatively, "In Daoxiang Village, you are just a LV10 NPC, but in Chunyang Palace, you are at least a LV30 NPC. The difference is a full 20 levels, which is a huge difference!"

Shen Jianxin rolled his eyes speechlessly: "...Are you really trying to comfort me? It sounds like you are mocking me."

"illusion!"

"You are so sensitive!"

Lu Ping waved his hand and invited him to eat some snacks from Chunyang Palace while explaining everything in detail.

"In the martial arts world, it is always the circle you are in that determines who you are!"

"Think carefully, what kind of people did you come into contact with in Daoxiang Village? They were nothing more than ordinary newcomers, bullies and bandits."

"If you stay with them for a long time, even if you have great abilities, others will just think you are a useless security guard."

"But here, you come into contact with Chunyang disciples, the sect leader, and uncle masters every day. If you are lucky, you can also run into martial arts masters who come to challenge you, or people from the royal family who come to the mountain to ask for advice."

"In this way, won't the chance of becoming famous be greater?"

Shen Jianxin was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly it became clear: "That makes sense!"

Seeing that his words were effective, Lu Ping continued to deceive:
"Not only that, although you work as a security guard in Chunyang Gan Palace, don't you see other junior disciples in the sect also growing vegetables, raising cranes, cleaning tables and chairs, serving tea and water, and doing miscellaneous work?"

"We are both doing odd jobs, so who is more noble than the other?"

"Relatively speaking, your job is more relaxing!"

The junior disciples of Chunyang Palace do odd jobs; only the intermediate disciples can go out, and are mainly responsible for preaching and managing the business; while the senior disciples do relatively dangerous work such as suppressing bandits and eliminating thieves.

"I've been here for a few days, and I've discovered that your fellow disciples are always thinking about being lazy during work, and thinking about dating after work, and rarely put their minds on practicing."

"Listen to me, spend the extra one or two hours every day on practicing internal energy and swordsmanship, and crush the other brothers!"

"If you keep accumulating knowledge day by day, it won't be long before you become famous in the sect with your talent!"

"Right, right, why not choose the annual meeting of your Chunyang Palace in a month? Then you can show off your skills and shock the whole audience. Maybe you will be valued by Master Li and be promoted to a mid-level disciple as an exception?"

In fact, Lu Ping had already heard the news from Yu Rui. Li Wangsheng and others saw Shen Jianxin's talent, so they did not intend to let him waste several years as a closed disciple.

However, if they promoted him directly out of turn, other disciples might not accept it, so they planned to let Shen Jianxin gain experience in this position for two or three months first.

"I heard that the reward for your annual meeting is a ticket to participate in the 'Sword Competition'. If you get this ticket, and we go down the mountain and win the championship, won't you become a well-known hero in the martial arts world?"

"When you reach the pinnacle of life, fame, love, and everything else, won't you have everything you need?"

Stimulated by Lu Ping's energetic words, Shen Jianxin suddenly felt that his mental fatigue had been cured, and he felt extremely relaxed. "Hey... hehehe..."

“Slurp—you’re right!!”

Shen Jianxin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, cheered himself up again, and then jumped out of Lu Ping's room.

After finally seeing Shen Jianxin off, another guest came to visit.

The visitor was none other than Jingxu's first disciple, Luo Feng.

Luo Feng is the eldest brother among the second generation disciples of Chunyang Palace. Most of the current disciples of Chunyang Jingxu lineage are taught martial arts by Luo Feng on behalf of their master Xie Yunchuan.

This man was picked up from the mountains and raised by Xie Yunliu since he was a baby. The two were like father and son. Later, when Xie Yunliu left Chunyang, he was only eight years old.

Ever since Xie Yunliu left Chunyang, Luo Feng, like Yu Rui, was taught martial arts and raised by Li Wangsheng.

By now, Luo Feng is nearly fifty years old, but the Chunyang Heart Method has enabled him to maintain the youthful appearance of a man in his twenties or thirties.

Several years ago, when Fujiwara Hirotsugu came to the Tang Dynasty, he designed to intensify the conflict between Xie Yunliu and the major sects. Fortunately, the conspiracy failed in the end, so Luo Feng did not die in the Shenwu ruins in the palace.

But even so, Xie Yunliu still did not return to the mountain gate, but established the Sword Sect.

Since then, the status of the Jingxu lineage, especially Luo Feng, in Chunyang Palace has become even more embarrassing.

Lu Ping was a little surprised to see Luo Feng visiting, but he still stood up to greet him.

"So it's Taoist Luo who's here. What do you want from me?"

Luo Feng greeted politely and then got straight to the point.

"I heard that you are planning to go to Wanhua Valley in a while?"

Lu Ping nodded: "Yes, it happened."

"In that case, could you please help me deliver a letter to my friend?"

Luo Feng's friend...

You should be talking about Pei Yuan, right?

"no problem!"

Lu Ping thought about it and agreed, then asked, "Is it an important letter?"

"Young man, have you heard about the 'Sword Fighting Tournament' that's going to take place in a few months?"

"of course."

Luo Feng continued, "Some time ago, during a meeting in the sect, the head of the sect said that the two major villas, Cangjian and Badao, had cordially invited us and even sent us invitations to participate. Chunyang Palace couldn't just be perfunctory, otherwise it might offend people, so..."

After hearing this, Lu Ping probably understood.

"So, Master Li gave you one of the competition tickets, hoping that you would represent Chunyang in the event?"

Luo Feng smiled awkwardly and nodded: "That's about what I mean."

"But you should also know that this event is different from the famous sword competition and the sword-raising competition in previous years. It is not an individual battle, but a team battle."

“I heard that.”

Lu Ping blinked and said, "So Taoist Luo is planning to invite friends from Wanhua Valley to form a team together?"

"exactly."

"Why don't you choose the brothers from Chunyang Palace?"

Luo Feng hesitated for a few seconds and explained: "Although the fellow disciples in the sect also like to watch the excitement, they don't want to be the excitement themselves, so they are not very interested in participating in the competition."

The surface is so weird, there is obviously something wrong!
Lu Ping thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason: those disciples probably didn't want to participate in the competition, but they knew they couldn't beat the others, so they were unwilling to take on this hot potato, right?

It is important for people to know themselves. If one wants to participate in such an event and compete for famous swords and knives, one must first consider one's own abilities.

The young Taoist priests in Chunyang Palace are all very clear about their own strength.
