All-around protagonist mentor

The soft laugh was barely audible in the noisy lobby.

But the moment those words were uttered, the entire main hall of Wuyi Pavilion fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the curtain above the stage, their eyes wide open and their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

What did Qionghua Yushou just say?

She wanted to invite this young man to the Bright Moon Pavilion!

Qingxuan bowed to Yun Jianyue on the stage and laughed loudly, "I dare not refuse Miss Yun's kind offer. Once this matter is settled, I will go there immediately."

"This humble woman awaits your arrival, sir."

Above the curtain, Yun Jianyue's shadow bowed slightly to Qing Xuan, then picked up the guqin and disappeared from the stage. Clearly, Yun Jianyue had already left through the mechanisms on the stage.

As soon as Yun Jianyue left, the main hall of Wuyi Pavilion erupted in chaos, with everyone shouting and expressing their various emotions.

They never expected that Yun Jianyue would take a liking to this young man who appeared out of nowhere!

Especially Yun Jianyue's last words, "sweeping the bed to await you," were particularly suggestive, making everyone's heart race and nosebleed just thinking about that scene.

The regret and hatred in the hearts of the guests now are something that even the waters of the Qiongjiang River cannot wash away.

If they had known that speaking out against Yi Zhilang would allow them to spend a night with their goddess, they would have stood up for him even if it meant the destruction of their families.

Let alone a mere Jinshi from a holy dynasty, they would dare to challenge even the Holy Emperor of all beings.

Unfortunately, there's no going back now; it's too late to say anything.

At this moment, everyone no longer found Qingxuan interesting; they only thought the kid was utterly detestable and wished he would die on the spot!

Hehe~~~

At that moment, another soft laugh rang out. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to have a magical power, instantly drowning out all other sounds, and the hall fell silent once again.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound and saw Xuan Xin, who had been watching the whole thing with a smile on his face, standing up.

Upon seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and felt extremely comfortable.

In their view, Yi Zhilang was Xuan Xin's man, and Qing Xuan had angered Yi Zhilang to the point of fainting. He had also criticized the Holy Emperor of All Beings and the Great Holy Dynasty before, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Xuan Xin. Xuan Xin would never let him go.

For someone of Xuanxin's status, killing an unknown country bumpkin would be a piece of cake, not even a trivial matter.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, eagerly anticipating how Xuanxin would deal with Qingxuan.

If Qingxuan is gone, then they will naturally have another opportunity.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xuanxin showed no displeasure on his face, but rather a hint of appreciation. Xuanxin walked up to Qingxuan with one hand behind his back and the other holding a cup of wine, and said with a faint smile, "Young Master Qingxuan is very talented, and I admire him greatly. I would like to offer you a toast."

With that, Xuanxin raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, then turned the cup towards Qingxuan as a sign of respect.

"Hehe, no problem, no problem."

Qingxuan responded with a smile, lifted the lid of the wine pot, and drank the remaining wine in one gulp, then shook the pot with the spout facing down.

Xuanxin smiled approvingly and said, "Young Master Qingxuan is indeed bold and unrestrained, as elegant as an immortal. I wonder if Young Master Qingxuan would be interested in coming to work for my Holy Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately in an uproar, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Xuanxin not only didn't punish Qingxuan, but actually expressed his appreciation and even wanted to recruit Qingxuan!

Was it because I drank too much, or was it a hallucination caused by the overly enthusiastic atmosphere earlier, resulting in confused sounds?

Qingxuan laughed heartily and said bluntly to Xuanxin, "Young Master Xuanxin, you must have heard my conversation with Scholar Yi just now, right?"

"To be honest, what your Holy Dynasty wants to do is none of my business, and I can't be bothered to care. But the actions of your Holy Emperor are questionable. Until your Holy Emperor proves that his actions are correct, I certainly have no interest in doing business with your Holy Dynasty."

Qingxuan's words shocked everyone present, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

This country bumpkin has quite the nerve, daring to question the Holy Emperor of All Beings and even demanding that the Holy Emperor of All Beings prove himself. Even the phrase "ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth" is insufficient to describe this kid's arrogance.

Xuanxin was not offended, but simply smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I can only say it's very regrettable. However, personally speaking, I would very much like to be friends with Young Master Qingxuan. But now is not the right time for conversation, so I will take my leave first. If fate allows, we will meet again."

After saying that, Xuanxin didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out of Wuyi Pavilion in a very decisive manner, leaving behind a bunch of shocked eyes.

Chu Yufeng sighed inwardly, patted his hand, and the guards immediately emerged from various corners. Chu Yufeng tossed his head, turned and left, with two guards quickly following after him, carrying the still unconscious Yizhilang to the ground.

At the entrance of Wuyi Pavilion, two carriages were parked one in front of the other, surrounded by a dozen or so fully armored soldiers. Chu Yufeng and Xuanxin boarded the first carriage, while the guards tossed Yizhilang into the other. With a shout from the driver, the carriages slowly began to move, the soldiers and guards forming a neat formation and following closely behind.

Inside the carriage, Chu Yufeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xuan, that brat Qingxuan just now made Scholar Yi faint. It was the perfect opportunity for you to make your move and force Qionghua Yushou to show her face. Why did you suddenly leave like that?"

Xuanxin still smiled and said, "It's very simple. Since we can't achieve our goal today, there's no need to do anything more useless."

Chu Yufeng asked curiously, "Brother Xuan, why do you say that? Is it because of that Qing Xuan?"

Xuanxin nodded: "That's partly his reason. He's not an ordinary person. It's not advisable to take action before we understand his background."

Chu Yufeng couldn't help but be surprised: "That Qingxuan is so capable, even Brother Xuan thinks he's not simple?"

Xuan Xin's eyes showed interest, and he smiled, "He is indeed not simple. I have been cultivating various family techniques and divine skills bestowed by His Majesty the Holy Emperor since childhood. Although I am far inferior to those senior masters, I have still made considerable progress. In this world, in the Five Realms, there are not many people I cannot see through. And today, by chance, I discovered that Qing Xuan is one of them."

"At first glance, he was just a mortal with no cultivation. But when I tried to secretly use my divine sense to probe his soul and find out his background, I found that my divine sense could not leave my body and could only circulate within my own sea of ​​consciousness. But after I left the Wuyi Pavilion, my divine sense returned to normal. And before Qing Xuan appeared, my soul was also normal."

"After thinking it over, the problem can only be with Qingxuan."

"Brother Chu, do you think someone with such abilities could be an ordinary person?"

Chu Yufeng exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is! I didn't even notice. But even so, it doesn't necessarily mean that Qing Xuan was behind it. Could it be the work of the Wuyi Pavilion? Perhaps they activated other functions of the 'Hun Yuan Xuan Xing' formation?"

Xuanxin smiled and said, "That's possible, but the problem is, how do we judge it, how do we confirm it?"

"This..." Chu Yufeng was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Only then did a hint of displeasure appear on Xuan Xin's face. He said indifferently, "This is another reason why I left."

"Scholar Yi's words and actions today have gone far too far, offending all those guests. And you, Brother Chu, surely know better than I do the identities of those guests."

"If we push our luck and test Qingxuan, we will only completely anger Wuyi Pavilion, and angering Wuyi Pavilion is the same as offending Xufang Realm."

"It's not worth offending a behemoth no less powerful than our Great Holy Dynasty and the local tyrants of your Yazhou for a mere suspicion that can't be confirmed."

"well....."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yufeng sighed, recalling the various scenes from that time, and couldn't help but feel resentful towards Yi Zhilang.

Was it that Xuanxin didn't explain things clearly enough, or is there something wrong with your ears, Yizhilang?

I asked you to sabotage Yun Jianyue and force her to show her face, but why did you have to go and cause trouble for those guests? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Xuan Xin sighed softly and said slowly, "With Qing Xuan's interference today, we are destined to return empty-handed. And with Wuyi Pavilion now on guard, it will be extremely difficult for you, Brother Chu, to create a flaw in their formation as before. As for confirming the woman's identity, it is beyond our current capabilities."

"Let's drop this matter. Brother Chu, you don't need to get involved anymore. I've seen your efforts these past few days, and you've done your best for the sake of our Holy Dynasty. The conditions I promised you still stand, and everything will be delivered."

"When the appointed day arrives, Brother Chu will naturally get what he wants."

Chu Yufeng was overjoyed and stood up, cupping his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Xuan! My whole family is deeply grateful!"

Xuanxin smiled slightly: "We are allies now, so we should help each other. If my Great Holy Dynasty wants to gain a foothold in the Jade Night Realm, we will need Brother Chu's support in the future."

Chu Yufeng immediately replied, "Whatever your court commands, I will do my utmost to fulfill it within my capabilities!"

Xuanxin nodded again, satisfied with Chu Yufeng's attitude. Then, she suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Considering Brother Chu's sincerity, it's time to tell him something."

"Brother Chu must be curious about why our Great Holy Dynasty joined forces with the Imperial Luo Sect to destroy the Du family, and why we care so much about the whereabouts and identity of the woman who stopped you that day."

Chu Yufeng was taken aback upon hearing this, and his heart skipped a beat. Although he did not speak, his face showed anticipation and surprise.

Chu Yufeng was a smart man. He knew that as a servant, it was sometimes better not to know certain things. If his superiors didn't speak up, he absolutely couldn't ask questions, otherwise, not only would he lose his own head, but his entire family might also lose theirs.

However, the fact that Xuanxin took the initiative to reveal some inside information meant something different. It meant that Xuanxin truly valued Chu Yufeng and considered him one of her own.

Xuanxin pondered for a moment, a look of emotion appearing on his face, and slowly said, "The origin of this matter is a long time ago, dating back three hundred years..."

......

After Xuanxin and Chu Yufeng left, most of the guests in the lobby of Wuyige also left with dark faces.

Before long, the entire Wuyi Pavilion became deserted.

What else can these guests do if they don't leave?

Today, Yun Jianyue has already chosen her favorite person. Their beautiful dream of winning the first prize has been shattered, and staying here will only add to their frustration.

Are we supposed to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?

Even if you actually listen, you'll only get angrier the more you listen.

However, this does not mean that they stopped idolizing Yun Jianyue; she remains their goddess.

The guests felt disgusted just thinking about their goddess being snatched away by someone else.

However, that's just how courtesans are. Such things are bound to happen sooner or later, and the customers are quite understanding.

If someone keeps dwelling on this matter, they will be ridiculed by their peers for not being open-minded enough.

Moreover, Yi Zhilang's sarcastic remarks had indeed touched some people's hearts. Thinking about it carefully, his wife at home might not be particularly beautiful, but she was considerate, warm-hearted, gentle, and virtuous. For the past two years, he had neglected her because of a prostitute, which was truly against his conscience.

Some emotional and sentimental people, already filled with remorse, hurriedly slipped home to spend some quality time with their wives and comfort their lonely hearts.

Now that everyone had left, the people at Wuyi Pavilion had some free time. Except for a few girls who still had to deal with the guests who were still in high spirits, most of them tidied up and went back to rest.

Seeing that things had been settled, Qingxuan secretly swiped a few jugs of wine, leisurely poured himself a drink in a corner, and then strolled over to Mingyuejian.

How could I refuse such a beautiful woman as Yun Jianyue's invitation? If I didn't go, I would be worse than a beast.

As soon as Qingxuan arrived at Mingyue Pavilion, he faintly heard bursts of laughter and chatter coming from inside. Qingxuan took off his shoes, pushed open the door, and peeked inside, immediately exclaiming in surprise:

"Wow, it's so lively!"

Under the bright moonlight, a riot of beautiful women danced and fluttered. Among them were not only Yun Jian Yue and Jiang Shang Qiu, but also the "Three Beauties and Five Charms," ​​including Bi Xin, Ru Shuang, and Ming Zhu. The girls chatted, sang, played instruments, chased and played, creating a scene of boundless springtime beauty, as if they had entered a celestial paradise.

The most bizarre thing is that Tianyu-jun was also there, and in the most conspicuous place at that.

Tianyu Jun was no longer the dejected man he had been. His handsome face was flushed, and he was laughing heartily. He stood high on the table, imitating Qingxuan by raising his wine cup as if he were composing a poem.

Bixin sat on the futon beside Tianyu Jun with paper and pen in hand, looking at him with a gentle smile. Rushuang ground ink for Bixin, her face also full of encouragement as she looked at Tianyu Jun.

Meanwhile, Yun Jianyue and Mingzhu stood by the table, each holding a pair of chopsticks, vigorously waving them around and shouting encouragement to Tianyu Jun.

Upon seeing this, Qingxuan immediately covered her forehead and turned her head away, unable to bear to look. In her heart, she exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Xiaoyu! How many dishes did you have? You're so drunk!
