Bai Yuan naturally felt very bored about something that he already knew the outcome of.
That's why he came up with the idea of holding a martial arts competition, just to have some fun!
But he also knew that this matter was not up to him. After all, it was related to the covenant between heaven and man. If he wanted to hold the martial arts competition, he still had to get the approval of Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi.
Chi Songzi saw Bai Yuan sighing and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Let's not talk about this martial arts competition for now. Do you really not want to participate in this appointment between heaven and man?"
"This time, you and the six elders are here to fight against the gods. I believe you will be fine. If one day you want to step down as the leader like the previous leader did, then it won't be too late for me to join you."
"Good boy, you are eyeing my position as the head of the sect!"
After hearing this, Chisongzi couldn't help but joke with Bai Yuan.
"Forget it, since you don't want to participate, I won't force you."
Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
After having a few sips of tea with Chisongzi and chatting about the covenant between heaven and man, Bai Yuan did not stay long and prepared to go back.
Just as he was about to leave, Chisongzi suddenly called him.
"By the way, Junior Brother! I suddenly remembered that I have prepared a surprise for you."
"Surprise? What surprise?"
Bai Yuan was confused.
From childhood to adulthood, Chisongzi has never prepared any surprises for him. Could it be that the sun has risen from the west?
"Since it's a surprise, you have to discover it yourself. If I tell you, how can it be called a surprise?"
It was rare for Chisongzi to play a guessing game with Bai Yuan.
"Then you have to give me some clues, right? Where is the surprise you mentioned?"
"She is in Tianzong. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to see her soon."
With full of doubts in his heart, Bai Yuan left Chisongzi's residence.
Not long after walking out of the bamboo forest in the back mountain, Bai Yuan passed by a mountain stream and caught a glimpse of a young figure standing on a wooden bridge. He was holding a wooden sword in his hand and practicing Tianzong's Wanchuan Qiu Shui facing the stream.
This kind of thing is actually very common within the Tianzong. Tianzong disciples all like to use this method to practice Wanchuan Qiu Shui, but it was this unintentional glance that made Bai Yuan stunned.
The iconic white hair with a few strands of light blue hair in between all reveal this person's identity.
Xiao Meng!
Bai Yuan wiped his eyes and looked at Xiao Meng in disbelief, who shouldn't have appeared at this time, and found that he was not hallucinating.
Could this be the surprise that senior brother mentioned?
He had only been away from Tianzong for more than half a year, and when he came back he had a new junior sister?
On the wooden bridge, Xiao Meng put away the wooden sword and sighed slightly. At this moment, she also noticed that a strange guy was staring at her. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and then a little confused.
It has been three months since she joined the Tian Sect. She didn't know everyone in the Taoist sect, but she was familiar with their faces. However, she seemed to have never seen this person in the Taoist sect.
"Who are you? Why are you here? I don't think I've ever seen you in Taoism?"
"I am just an ordinary disciple of the Tian Sect, wandering here. I was traveling before, but I just returned to the Dao Sect not long ago because the appointment between heaven and man is approaching. It is normal that you have not seen me, just like I have not seen you."
Bai Yuan did not reveal his identity. With a smile on his face, he looked at this junior sister seriously.
I have to say that Xiaomeng was indeed very cute when she was a child, and her temperament was completely different from when she grew up.
After hearing Bai Yuan's words, Xiao Meng also nodded.
She subconsciously regarded Bai Yuan as a fellow apprentice like Xiao Ling and others.
"I see. I joined the Tian Sect three months ago. Although I joined later than you, I am of the same generation as the Sect Master, so you should call me Uncle Xiaomeng."
Hearing this, the expression on Bai Yuan's face became very strange and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Uncle Master?"
"That's right! What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Meng saw Bai Yuan laughing there and frowned slightly.
"I'm laughing at you because you're cute!"
Bai Yuan stretched out his hand and subconsciously wanted to rub Xiao Meng's head.
She made me feel like a younger sister, and I couldn't help but want people to tease her.
However, Xiaomeng took a step back and dodged.
With a turn of her wrist, Xiao Meng pointed the wooden sword at Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed, stretching out two fingers to clamp the wooden sword.
"Wow! This sword is pretty fast, but it's not enough!"
As he spoke, he lightly flicked the sword, and a force was transmitted from the tip of the sword to Xiao Meng, causing her to take two steps back.
"you!"
Xiao Meng looked at Bai Yuan in surprise. She didn't expect that the other party looked ordinary, but he could force her back with just one move.
However, Xiao Meng was somewhat unhappy with Bai Yuan's evaluation.
"I haven't even used my full strength in the last strike!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the sword again and stabbed towards Bai Yuan.
Seeing this, Bai Yuan did not dodge or evade. He put his right hand behind his back and stretched out his index and middle fingers of his left hand, forming a sword.
Xiao Meng frowned slightly after seeing this, obviously angry that Bai Yuan looked down on her.
But what happened next was somewhat unexpected for her.
Bai Yuan used his fingers as swords to fight with the wooden sword. He turned his wrist slightly and a suction force came. Xiao Meng suddenly felt that the sword in her hand was out of control. She held the sword tightly and her whole body was lifted up into the air.
The wooden sword slipped out of his hand and flew out. Xiao Meng also fell to the ground, letting out a "ouch".
"Is this the result after you put in the effort? Junior sister, this won't do!"
Bai Yuan walked up and rubbed Xiao Meng's head with a somewhat evil smile.
Xiao Meng suddenly became a little angry.
"What junior sister? You should call me Master... Ouch!"
Before she could finish, Bai Yuan gave her a slap on the head.
"You are so disrespectful, what uncle? You should call me brother. When I became your disciple, you were not even born yet!"
Xiao Meng covered her head and was stunned when she heard Bai Yuan's words.
"You...you are Senior Brother Bai Yuan!"
Chapter 222 Do you still think I'm a three-year-old child?
After hearing Bai Yuan's words, Xiao Meng reacted quickly.
Of course she knew Bai Yuan's name.
Ever since she joined Tianzong, she often heard news about her senior brother whom she had never met from Tianzong disciples and even Tianzong elders.
Although many people in Tianzong were dissatisfied with Bai Yuan's eccentric personality and his frequent ridiculous actions, now that Bai Yuan has brought a series of good things to Tianzong such as Qi-nourishing Pills, paper-making trees, and even Spirit-Gathering Pills, no one in Tianzong, from disciples to elders, speaks ill of Bai Yuan anymore.
So now Xiao Meng hears some positive news about how talented Bai Yuan is, how great his contribution to Tianzong is, and so on.
Therefore, she has always had a strong curiosity about Bai Yuan, and she didn't expect that such a joke would happen when they met for the first time.
Thinking about how he had just called himself the uncle-master, Xiao Meng suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and didn't know where to put his hands.
But she was not the kind of person who liked to dwell on trivial matters. Xiao Meng stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, and then bowed to Bai Yuan.
"Hello, Senior Brother Bai Yuan!"
"What? You don't want me to call you uncle-master now?"
Bai Yuan joked.
When Xiao Meng heard this, her expression suddenly froze, and then she pouts and stomps her feet.
"It was obviously my senior brother who deliberately misled me and I misunderstood!"
Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
He did it on purpose. When he saw Xiaomeng, he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Brother, you are a little different from what I expected!"
Xiao Meng didn't dwell on what had just happened. She stared at Bai Yuan carefully.
Just now she thought Bai Yuan was just an ordinary disciple and didn't pay much attention to him. But after knowing that he was her senior brother, out of curiosity, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
"Not quite the same as you expected? Then tell me, what did you expect me to be like?"
"In my imagination, you should be like Senior Brother Chisongzi and the others, wearing a long Taoist robe, with white hair and a long beard."
Xiaomeng gestured with her hands as she spoke.
Hearing her description, Bai Yuan was immediately amused.
"Although you have some misunderstandings about me when we first met, I am a magnanimous person and will not hold it against you. As your senior brother, I will give you a meeting gift!"
Bai Yuan smiled and took out a bright red fruit from the divine space.
"Brother, do you still think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Xiao Meng snorted softly. It was said to be a gift for meeting, but what did it mean to just give a piece of fruit?
However, Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
At the beginning, he cultivated three spiritual medicines at the same time. Except for the spirit gathering grass, the other two spiritual medicines took a long time to transform and take shape.
These two spiritual medicines are [Spirit-Enriching Fruit] and [Golden Flame Flower].
One can quickly restore physical strength and internal energy, and the other is of great help to those who practice fire-attributed techniques.
"Don't underestimate it. This is a really good thing. Eating it can instantly restore a large amount of physical strength and internal energy. In the entire Tianzong, besides me, you are the only one who has seen it. If you don't want it, then I will take it back."
As Bai Yuan spoke, he pretended to put away the [Spirit Fruit].
Xiao Meng became anxious when she heard this, and reached out to snatch the Soul Fruit away.
"Since you said you would give it to me, how can I go back on my word? Now it's mine! Thank you, Brother!"
Xiao Meng held the fruit in her hands and thanked him politely.
"Okay, just practice hard! I'll be leaving first."
After delivering the things, Bai Yuan did not stay any longer. He said goodbye and left.
Xiao Meng looked at Bai Yuan's departing back, then looked at the fruit in her hand, and couldn't help but feel more curious about what kind of person Bai Yuan was.
On the other hand, Chisongzi quickly summoned a group of elders from Tianzong to discuss the feasibility of the martial arts competition proposed by Bai Yuan earlier.
Before this, there had never been this kind of competition in the world.
In the past, various schools of thought had similar competitions, but they were all mainly based on discussions of philosophy, that is, literary battles.
Pure fighting is something only a reckless person would do.
However, the form of fighting proposed by Bai Yuan is indeed the one that can best demonstrate personal strength and achieve the purpose of deterring villains.
After all, there are some people who cannot be scared away by just words. These people often lack morals, are shameless and scoundrel enough, and their methods are despicable and dirty. You cannot intimidate them without using force.
However, although Taoism ranks among the top schools of thought, it is still unable to intimidate the world with its military force.
Therefore, martial arts competitions do involve certain risks.
If the operation is not done well, it may damage the reputation of Tianzong. Not only will it fail to have a deterrent effect, but it will also cause people to laugh at it.
Therefore, Chisongzi and others discussed the martial arts competition for a whole night.
Finally, they decided to hold this martial arts competition in accordance with Bai Yuan's proposal.
However, the purpose is no longer to intimidate others, but to make friends through martial arts, and intimidating others with a heavenly promise is enough.
If they are too strong, Tianzong may become the target of public criticism, and the situation will only get worse. This is not in line with their Tianzong's usual style of doing things.
