Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"I'm sorry, I have to get a death certificate for him some other day."

……

At the same time, the entrance to the community.

Hua Fan just received a message, and her expression tensed: "We may need to move faster."

"Is there anything wrong?" Huangfu Rong rarely saw Hua Fan look nervous.

"The monks from Longxiang Temple can't sit still anymore. Their target is probably Nanling City. I can't tell the exact target, but it's very likely..." Hua Fan felt that the situation was becoming more and more complicated. "But those monks actually had the courage to come."

"Are you here to reconcile as well?"

"Maybe..." Hua Fan didn't think so. Longxiang Temple looked down on Tao Rusu, and there was no deep-rooted hatred between them.

She shook her head and stopped thinking: "Let's go to the Su family first. Time is running out. We need to hurry up... The sooner we can let Tao Rusu and Tyrant finish the division, the better it will be for all of us!"

Chapter 857: No Money, Only Life

"Good morning, everyone. I am Hua Fan from the Huajian School. These two are Huangfu Song and Huangfu Rong from the Huangfu family. The two behind are the accompanying civilian staff of the Xuantian Division."

A simple opening statement and self-introduction, skipping the pleasantries.

"I am Tao Rusu."

The person in charge of the meeting was Tao Rusu herself. Because Su Ruoli handed the right to speak in this conversation to her, she was responsible for controlling the rhythm of the conversation: "These two are Su Ruoli and Su Ruoji."

I briefly introduced the people from both sides, and some clues could be seen just from the self-introductions at the beginning.

The prefix Hua Fan used when referring to himself was Huajian School instead of Xuantiansi, which proved that this visit was not a formal visit, but a negotiation in a personal capacity.

Hua Fan was thinking about how to get straight to the point next when he heard Tao Rusu ask, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Hua Fan was a little stunned by this sudden remark. She thought they should be talking about serious matters, so why did they suddenly start talking about emotional matters?

This sentence sounds like a flirtation.

Then Tao Rusu continued, "I remember... there were a few people who looked like you who once hunted me down in the Xuzhou area."

Hua Fan's expression froze. It turned out that he was not trying to flirt with her, but was actually trying to attack her.

She was about to apologize when she heard Tao Rusu continue, "But it has nothing to do with you. You probably didn't chase me, did you?"

"I……"

"I don't think you have it, otherwise you wouldn't be alive now." Tao Rusu said lightly.

"..."

"Don't be so nervous, have a cup of tea." Tao Rusu poured a few cups of wolfberry tea and handed them over.

One sentence and one turn of events completely aroused the other person's emotions.

Hua Fan's mood fluctuated greatly. She couldn't figure out whether Tao Rusu was hostile or really generous and relieved.

It sounded like there was some resentment and that he was saying harsh words, but there was no sense of blatant hatred or disgust.

Can I still drink this tea?

"I know that Miss Tao may be harboring a grudge. After all, in the past, the Huajian Sect, the Huangfu Family and other factions related to the Xuantian Division have all been hostile and murderous towards you, and have sent out many assassins. It is normal for you to feel resentful." Hua Fan sorted out his emotions, decided to change the topic, and frankly stated his purpose.

"This is a wrong thing and should not be carried out. If we are willing to take a step back, I wonder if Miss Tao will accept it?"

"We came here this time to negotiate with you."

Tao Rusu didn't comment. After pausing for three seconds, he raised his chin and said, "How do you want to talk? Go on. I'll make a decision after you listen."

"It's very simple." Hua Fan said, "All we need to do is cut off the connection between you and the Tyrant, and then others will no longer be able to find a suitable reason to attack you."

"It sounds simple, but is it really that simple?" Tao Rusu's mind moved. The fact that Bazhe was her biological father could not be changed, but it was also a thorn in her heart and one of her stains.

Although Bai Yu didn't mind this, she knew very well that she couldn't compare with Su Ruoli and Mu Yaoxi in terms of family background... The family background of the other girls was icing on the cake with Bai Yu, and they were a perfect match, but her canonized father had always been a unfilial son and dug a hole for herself.

The only one who suffered the same level of tragedy as her was Huang Qixia after her true identity was exposed.

Before that, she was always a T3 character ranked at the bottom of the strength list.

"We can create a claim for you." Hua Fan used a very fashionable word.

To make a claim is to fabricate a fact acknowledged by both parties to prove one's legitimacy...usually used in the area of ​​inheritance rights.

Everything requires orthodoxy, and making a claim is to give it a status, and with a status it is easier to do things.

Why did Tao Rusu, who always defended himself and never harmed others, become a rat crossing the street and his reputation dropped to negative; while Ren Nanbei, who killed more people and had more enemies, became a hero and became famous in Daxia?

The problem lies in the status.

Although Ren Nanbei did not take the path of whitewashing, he secretly used many methods to increase his reputation.

He himself was born into a common family, his closest relatives died early, and he was passed around by his relatives, growing up eating at other people's houses. Therefore, his heroic character cannot tolerate any extraordinary background, and being born in a grassroots family is just a label.

He is even considered a big internet celebrity, having relied on self-marketing and ridiculous talent to rise to the top. His method is to constantly challenge stronger authorities and put himself in a weak position, which naturally wins the sympathy of the people, and he finally wins the battle, which makes people talk about him with relish.

But his method cannot be replicated on Tao Rusu... She had tried to do this before, but ended up being badly cheated. After being labeled a murderer, she couldn't take the hat off, and her reputation on the Internet was as bad as that of Huang Jinshu.

Tao Rusu had considered clearing his name and getting out of trouble before, but he was alone and could not do it.

"How do you make a claim?" Su Ruo asked curiously, "Reputation doesn't come for nothing. Power and authority are its foundation."

"I also don't like exposing my past to gain sympathy." Tao Rusu said lightly.

"It's not as complicated as you think." Hua Fan explained: "The forces within Xuan Tian Si are being reshuffled. You can also understand this as accelerating the internal fighting. In order to quell the turmoil brought about by King Xiling as soon as possible, a big competition will be held within Xuan Tian Si."

"This competition was held by the Taoist sect in the past, so it was called Xuantian Grand Ceremony."

"As long as you can obtain a place in this Xuantian Grand Ceremony and draw a clear line between yourself and the Tyrant in public, you will be able to get rid of your current identity."

"We will facilitate your participation in the Xuantian Grand Ceremony and build momentum for you."

Hearing this, Tao Rusu frowned: "Do I still need to participate in this Xuantian Grand Ceremony to compete for a place? Isn't this just me doing the hard work?"

"There is no benefit in this world that doesn't require effort, and you need to form a team to participate in the Xuantian Grand Ceremony." Hua Fan had already made arrangements: "Huangfu Song and Huangfu Rong, they will become your teammates and escort you to the finals."

"You don't need to show up in the early stages. You only need to win four of the last ten games of the Dajiao to be in the top seven."

"I've heard of this too." Su Ruo raised his eyes and said, "The first seven are collectively known as the Seven Azure Dragons, and the sects behind them are also known as the Seven Great Sects."

"Among the seven major sects today, the Taoist Xuanxin Sect and the Buddhist Longxiang Temple are the strongest and have a profound foundation, so they are also divided into the upper two sects and the lower five sects."

"The Huajian Sect was newly appointed as one of the five major sects 20 years ago, and its position is not stable enough, while the Huangfu Family is a major pillar of the Dian Cang Sect."

"Are you planning to kill two birds with one stone?"

"So, Tao Rusu is going to borrow the uniforms of the Dian Cang Sect?"

Hua Fan immediately stood up and promised: "Miss Tao can participate in the name of any sect, not necessarily in the name of Dian Cang Sect."

"If that's the case, what do you want?" Tao Rusu asked back, "It won't do you any good if I get involved."

"I've said what I wanted from the beginning." Hua Fan said sincerely, "I want to reconcile. It's irrational to continue to be your enemy. Using the Xuantian Grand Ceremony to shut them up will also force the people from the seven major sects to give up their attempts to assassinate you. This is good for both sides. If I have to give a personal reason, I just don't want to see what happened to Hua Sheng happen again."

"Flower Saint?"

"This is a past event, and it is not appropriate to talk about it here...but the Flower Saint was once the daughter of a defected heir of the Huajian Sect."

"understood."

The explanation is enough here, and you can figure out the rest of the story details by yourself.

Hua Fan has already made his words very clear and thorough.

"So, what is Miss Tao's decision?"

"Before she answers, why don't you listen to my opinion?"

Another sound came from far away, and the sound seemed to be accompanied by a gust of strong wind. The doors and windows in the room shook, and the water in the cup rippled and splashed onto the table.

Su Ruoli looked at the messy house, opened her eyes, and frowned slightly.

Hua Fan and the Huangfu siblings stood up at the same time.

Although they knew that people from the Buddhist sect would come, they did not expect them to come so soon. Less than a quarter of an hour after they arrived, they had already arrived.

Two monks were walking towards them from afar, their feet shining with golden light, and their walking had a special effect of lightness skill, as if lotus was blooming with every step.

One is tall, one is short, one is fat, and one is thin. The tall one is thin, and the short one is fat... The thin monk is serious, and the short monk smiles like Maitreya.

"The Arhat who subdues the dragon, the Arhat who subdues the tiger..." Hua Fan called out the two's names: "Why are you here instead of staying in Longxiang Temple?"

"Donor Hua can come, so why can't I come?" The tall and thin Arhat Subduing the Dragon said indifferently, "They all come uninvited."

"We are here for the same reason as you." Subduing Tiger Arhat clasped his hands together and directly stated his purpose.

"You are here to see me too?" Tao Rusu's eyes were filled with disbelief. She had actually become so popular. "But I don't want to become a nun yet."

“Why would I force you to be ordained?” The Dragon-Subduing Arhat raised one hand and said calmly, “I hope that Donor Tao can come with us and stay in Longxiang Temple for a while so that we monks can teach you how to convert the evil in Donor Tao.”

"Salvation? Demonic nature?" Tao Rusu raised her eyebrows.

"They say that a person looks hypocritical, and your appearance is the same." Hua Fan said coldly: "Catching people and locking them up in a Buddhist temple to chant sutras all day long, and forcing them to bow their heads is considered salvation?"

"Donor Tao is a blood relative of the Tyrant. He has a demonic nature in his body that cannot be controlled by Buddhism." The Subduing Tiger Arhat said with a smile, "Come with us to Longxiang Temple. It will take at least one or two years, or at most five or six years. When Donor Tao leaves the temple, there will be no more assassins."

"Sorry, I don't understand." Tao Rusu snorted coldly: "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush... Are you going to arrest me and put me in jail in a Buddhist temple? When I get out, I'll think of it as paying off my crime by being in jail?"

"Longxiang Temple has so much power." Su Ruoji said calmly: "Who gave it to you?"

"Master Zhang was injured by Luohou some time ago, and he has been in seclusion since the injury. This Xuantian Grand Ceremony is essentially a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. What do you want to do with Miss Tao?" Hua Fan revealed the truth in one sentence.

The dragons and tigers that were subdued all clasped their hands together and remained silent.

Buddhists like to be witty and hide their true intentions. Many things are hidden under the fig leaf of philosophical speculation.

"If you don't want to explain clearly, please leave." Su Ruoli was not in a very good mood. She was already feeling unwell, and was shocked by the lion's roar of Buddhism. She tapped the table with her fingers and said, "This is my home. You came in uninvited. Please leave the same way you came in."

"I am deeply sorry to bother you, Mr. Su." The Dragon-Subduing Arhat said calmly, "But you have to take the person away, so I have to apologize for the offense."

"You guys..." Su Ruoli's body burst out with green and white sword energy: "You are really a bit presumptuous. Who gave you the courage to act wildly in front of my house?"

"Donor Su, please calm down." Fu Hu Luohan clasped his hands and sighed, "In fact, we are not here today just for Donor Tao's matter, but also to pay tribute to Donor Bai who has passed away to reincarnation."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around, and everyone's reactions were different.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Hua Fan and Huangfu were shocked and stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

Huangfu Rong stepped forward with the most excitement and grabbed Fu Hu Luohan by the collar: "Bai Yujing is dead? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Monks don't tell lies. You can tell the truth by asking." The Tiger Subduing Arhat looked directly at the silent Su sisters and chanted the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha. I also learned about this incident by chance. I hope you will accept my condolences for Mr. Bai."

Su Ruoji smiled, her smile was a bit suppressed and crazy: "So you dared to come to the Su family and act wild after knowing the news of Bai Yu's death... But have you forgotten that even if he is gone, I am still here!"

She is also a rising star in the world, but her presence is not strong.

In terms of strength and danger level, he is even superior to Ren Nanbei.

With a loud noise, golden light burst out from the bodies of the two Arhats, but they were still forced back to the threshold by Tai Lingding's explosive momentum.

Su Ruoli has already reached the peak of the fourth level of cultivation and has met the prerequisite for entering the realm of sainthood. That's why Su Ruoli deliberately pulled her sister onto the bed to form a twin lotus. With her sister's potential, her sainthood wouldn't be much slower than hers.

"We are deeply sorry about Donor Bai's matter... But Donor Tao's matter has nothing to do with you two, right?" The Dragon-Subduing Arhat displayed his profound Vajra-indestructible cultivation, withstood the pressure and said, "Donor Bai is gone, and Donor Tao also needs a suitable place to live."

"That can't be Longxiang Temple!" Su Ruo continued to move forward. She took one step closer and the monk took three steps back.

"Tao Rusu is my schoolmate and roommate. Even if Bai Yu is gone, can't I take care of her?" Su Ruoli tapped the sword lightly with her fingers: "Are your arms too long? Do you need me to shorten them for you?"

The Subduing Tiger Arhat took a deep breath and said, "Donor Tao has the fate of a Yaksha woman, and is predestined with our Buddhist sect. If Buddhism can convert you, you will have immeasurable merits. In the future, you will definitely be canonized as a saint and protector of the Buddhist kingdom. Great achievements are expected, and Buddhism will flourish. This is the general trend..."

Tao Rusu was also angry, her eyebrows raised, and she joined the ranks of those who released their aura and pressure: "I am gentle and virtuous, a first-class good wife and mother, who can handle both housework and work, who are you calling a female demon? Try to call me that again!"

The two Arhats had no way of expressing their grievances. It turned out that they could not convince the woman.

They looked at each other, and it was irrational to confront the two angry Su sisters at this time, so they retreated for the time being.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say something harsh.

"Buddhism should flourish. This is the general trend..."

"piss off!"

Su Ruoji's rebuke broke the monk's message which had its own echo.

The three men drove the monk away, but the five guests from Xuantiansi were still watching here.

The two civilian staff members didn't know whether they should record the speech that Jiang Longfu had just made.
