The Strongest Outcast

"Hehehe... It's alright, it's alright."

After the general media interviews and the leaders' visit to the mountain leaders finally came to an end, the group bid a brief farewell to the old master and then headed down the mountain with their recording equipment.

At this time,

"Old Celestial Master! This is Wang Ye from Wudang! I pay my respects to the Old Celestial Master! Please take a look at who's beside this young man!"

A young Taoist priest with a cloth bag slung over his shoulder led Zhang Chulan from a distance. After respectfully greeting the old Celestial Master with a smile, he immediately pushed Zhang Chulan out from behind him.

A disciple of Wudang?

Liu Xiaojiang first glanced at the young Taoist priest, then at Zhang Chulan, who had a bewildered expression, but did not say anything to remind the old celestial master. He remained silent and stood with Zhang Lingyu.

The old Celestial Master looked at the newcomer upon hearing the voice, “…So it’s Little Wang Ye. I wonder how your master is doing?”

As he spoke,

The old master saw Zhang Chulan next to Wang Ye, paused slightly, and smiled, "You... are you Chulan?"

not far away,

Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao stood there, not immediately interrupting Zhang Chulan's meeting with the Old Celestial Master.

"..." Zhang Chulan looked at the old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, clearly unsure how to address him. "I..."

"Call me Master." The old Celestial Master couldn't help but smile and remind you, "Your grandfather passed on the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic to you. Although you are not a disciple of my Zhengyi sect, you are still worthy of being called Master."

"Master!" Zhang Chulan had already learned about his grandfather's relationship with the Celestial Master's Mansion from Xu Si, and immediately spoke up to confirm his own connection with the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Hehehe... Alright, Chu Lan, come here and let your master take a good look at you," the old master said with satisfaction.

Subsequently,

As the old celestial master and Zhang Chulan chatted, they walked toward the Taoist temple next to them, with Liu Xiaojiang and Zhang Lingyu following closely behind.

however,

Because the sacrificial ceremony had just ended, many tourists were still on the mountain taking pictures. They might not know who the Old Celestial Master was, but they saw Liu Xiaojiang and Zhang Lingyu following behind him.

Especially after discovering that Liu Xiaojiang and Zhang Lingyu were wearing Taoist robes of different colors, one black and one white, and that their figures and appearances were similar, a large number of female tourists immediately ran over with their cameras.

Wow!!! So handsome! Look over here! Look over here!

"Young Taoist priests! Come and take a picture with us!"

In front of the house,

Hearing the requests from the tourists behind him, the old celestial master turned around and said, "Lingyu, Xiaojiang, you two go and greet the other guests first. Chu Lan and I need to have a private talk."

"Yes, Uncle-Master." Liu Xiaojiang nodded.

"Disciple obeys," Zhang Lingyu said, bowing his head.

then,

After watching the old master and Zhang Chulan enter the house,

Liu Xiaojiang and Zhang Lingyu turned to face the tourists, and at the strong request of the female tourists, they smiled and took photos with each of them, not daring to leave the tourists with any impression that might damage the mountain gate.

After the group photo,

Liu Xiaojiang left Zhang Lingyu to deal with the tourists and walked alone towards Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao. "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, we meet again. How are you?"

Xu San nodded to Liu Xiaojiang and smiled as he stepped in front of Feng Baobao.

"Hey, you look pretty good now, you're totally a little Taoist priest now. You don't want to go back to working for the company, do you?" Xu Si looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a smile.

Liu Xiaojiang glanced at Feng Baobao behind Xu San and shook his head, saying, "Fourth Brother is joking. I'm still on temporary assignment at the Northeast branch, so of course I won't stay on the mountain forever. I'll stay until after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

I might come down the mountain with you all.

"So? I heard you're also going to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony? Do you want to inherit the position of Celestial Master? Or... the Tongtian Talisman?" Xu Si lit a cigarette and held it in his hand.

Liu Xiaojiang shook his head again, but did not answer the question. Instead, he looked at Xu Si with a smile and said, "Brother Si, smoking is prohibited in famous tourist attractions. The fine is two hundred."

"..." Xu Si froze upon hearing this, unsure whether to keep the cigarette or throw it away.

"Haha." Liu Xiaojiang looked at Xu Si with great pride. "Brother Si, hurry up and give me the money."

"...Why are you so... Fine, it's your territory, I'll give it to you, okay?" Seeing this, Xu Si could only helplessly take out the money and hand it to Liu Xiaojiang.

He took the two tickets.

Liu Xiaojiang quickly tucked the item into his Taoist robe and hurriedly turned to leave, but before he could actually leave, he stopped again and couldn't help but chuckle as he reminded him:

"Fourth Brother, you guys wait here for a bit. Zhang Chulan should be out soon, but... the tourism bureau might come looking for you again to fine you."

Don't blame me for not warning you.

"Huh? What? What did you say?" Xu Si was stunned for a moment before realizing that Liu Xiaojiang had already disappeared. He could only grit his teeth and stub out his cigarette.

"Holy crap! This guy came over to say hello just to scam me out of my cigarettes, huh?! Bastard..."

How dare you cheat your fourth brother out of his money!

Xu San pushed up his glasses. "Hmph, I told you not to smoke on the mountain, but... he really doesn't seem to have noticed the baby's problem."

This is very advantageous for us.

"That's hard to say." Xu Si looked at the house where Zhang Chulan was, and said thoughtfully, "He will also participate in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. If possible... we must avoid having Bao Bao fight him."

Zhang Chulan is in a precarious situation.

Feng Baobao clutched a string of red Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, looking at Xu San and Xu Si with a serious expression. "San'er, Si'er, he's very strong. Should we bury him first?"

Xu San: "..."

Xu Si: "..."

Chapter 69 Approachable

Longhu Mountain

Liu Xiaojiang, feeling the warm two hundred yuan in his pocket, contentedly left Zhang Lingyu to greet guests on the front mountain and went alone to the connection between the front and back mountains of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

at this time,

He didn't rush back to the back mountain to take charge of order. Instead, he greeted the young Taoist boy who was in charge of guiding the strange people and stood quietly to the side waiting for the arrival of the strange people from the foot of the mountain.

This is the territory of the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion. Although it is unlikely that anyone would dare to cause trouble here, there is a fear that some guys simply don't have brains.

With the support of Grandpa Lu Jin, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has long ceased to be merely a ceremony held by the Celestial Master's Mansion to welcome Zhang Chulan; it has become an important competition involving the ownership of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

Once it comes to the legendary Eight Extraordinary Skills...

Who can guarantee that everyone will follow the rules?

not to mention,

Liu Xiaojiang recalled his encounter with the five members of the Quanxing sect, and seemed to have overheard them mentioning Longhu Mountain. Furthermore, considering the current covert cooperation between Longhu Mountain and the company...

Even a fool could tell that the Quanxing sect would most likely not miss this opportunity.

therefore,

Without knowing how Quanxing would get involved

As a Zhengyi disciple whose status on the mountain was second only to the Old Celestial Master and Tian Lao, he naturally needed to be responsible for preventing the Quanxing sect from infiltrating the participants of the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

after all,

Most older people with unusual traits know that

This Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was actually a performance competition organized by Longhu Mountain, with various famous sects and righteous factions coming to the mountain to show off their strength. The Tongtian Talisman was just a prize that Old Master Lu Jin brought out to cause trouble for certain people.

You want to stop Zhang Chulan from entering the Celestial Master's Mansion because of the Qi Source Flow!

Don't you even know which of your juniors is capable of overpowering the disciples of Longhu Mountain!

Who are you trying to disgust here?

Since you want to disgust the Celestial Master's Mansion!

it is good!

I took out the Tongtian Talisman to arouse the other contestants' attention to the competition!

I'm disgusting you all!

In any case, the winner of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony will definitely be someone from the Celestial Master's Mansion!

Isn't he a troublemaker?

Who can't do it?!

As everyone knows,

Old Master Lu's thinking was indeed very simple. Undoubtedly, it was because of his past experiences that he couldn't stand some people still coveting the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. So he decided to take this opportunity to annoy these guys.

result,

This also implicated Zhang Chulan.

The Tongtian Talisman will indeed make other participants take the competition seriously and fight against the younger generation of various prestigious and righteous families with all their might. However, it will also arouse the desire for victory in others, making them use all their strength to compete with Zhang Chulan.

It's not that Zhang Chulan is strong enough, but his strength is not quite enough, and he may not be able to completely defeat the contestants other than those from the Celestial Master's Mansion.

For Zhang Chulan and the Celestial Master's Mansion, Master Lu's actions were nothing short of being a troublemaker who pleased neither side; however, he himself had a clear conscience about what he had done...

If Liu Xiaojiang hadn't been there, Zhang Chulan's chances of winning would have been even lower.

On the edge of the cliff,

Liu Xiaojiang watched as the strange people who had already passed by with their own unique expressions, but he couldn't find anyone with anything unusual about them. He could only calmly continue to stay there and wait for everyone to pass.

but,

After all, he was a disciple of the same generation as Zhang Lingyu from the Celestial Master's Mansion, and also Tian Lao's only closed-door disciple. When he stood here to preside over the order, he naturally attracted great attention from both the participating supernatural beings and the audience.

The circle of supernatural beings is neither too big nor too small, and news spreads very quickly. Since Liu Xiaojiang confirmed his participation in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, most supernatural beings have already taken notice of his existence.

just,

Liu Xiaojiang's identity is very mysterious. Ordinary people know that he once worked at the company, but they have no way to investigate further and find out any useful information. Therefore, everyone is very curious when they see him.

At this time,
