No one really thinks cultivating immortality is difficult, right?

What happens after the fight? If we offend the monks of Wei, will the envoys from the ten countries' academies show up immediately?

After all, the State of Wei held a competition among ten nations, and the monks of Wei were unable to control the students. It was reasonable for the academies of the ten nations to come out and help, right?

If we help, will we have to fight with the Ten Countries’ Academies again?

After so much fighting, maybe even the Daxia Academy will send someone over in the end.

That would be a great plot.

My goodness, if he were to write a book, Ye Ping felt that he could write 200,000 words for this plot.

Therefore, Ye Ping told Li Yu not to talk nonsense and just sit here quietly and drink some wine.

Li Yu stopped talking.

Chen Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief immediately. He was afraid that Li Yu knew him. Thinking of this, Chen Hongfei continued to speak.

"Alas, when I mention Brother Qinglian, I can't help but think of what he said to me when I was drinking with him a few days ago."

"Brother Qinglian said, Brother Chen, although I am slightly better than you in talent, I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as you in cultivation. If you can devote one hundredth of your time to studying, I am afraid your achievements will far exceed mine."

"When I heard this, I immediately shook my head. Although I am indeed far superior to Brother Qinglian in cultivation, Brother Qinglian is indeed very talented and knowledgeable. I understand this point."

"So I kept denying it and called him a true scholar, but Brother Qinglian held my hand and sighed as he spoke, Brother Chen, what's the point of talent? In terms of looks, I'm not even one tenth as good as you, and in terms of cultivation talent, I'm not even one ten-thousandth as good as you, so I can only write poems and live a miserable life."

"Alas, Brother Qinglian is also a sentimental person. It is precisely because of his sentimentality that he can write so many beautiful poems."

Chen Hongfei started making up stories the whole time, and everyone frowned at what he said.

It seemed a little unbelievable, but Chen Hongfei spoke so sincerely, and considering his identity, it was difficult for everyone to suspect that Chen Hongfei was lying.

However, Li Yu lowered his head and trembled.

As for Ye Ping, his face turned a little dark.

It's fine if Chen Hongfei just brags a little, but saying that I'm not as good-looking as him? This is hard to tolerate.

But Huangfu Tianlong on the side couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"He is not even one tenth as good-looking as you, so it seems that this Qinglian Lay Buddhist is extremely ugly."

"No wonder you don't dare to come out and see people, right, Brother Ye."

"Brother Ye, why is your face so dark?"

"Friend Li, why are you shivering with your head down? Are you cold?"

Huangfu Tianlong took a sip of wine and found the right opportunity to taunt back.

Just after saying this, Ye Ping's face turned a little darker, and Li Yu's body trembled even more violently.

"ignorance."

Chen Hongfei snorted coldly and then cursed.

"My brother Qinglian is a handsome man, a talented person from the south of the Yangtze River. He is just being modest. Moreover, my brother Qinglian is extremely talented and has a literary temperament. Although he has no talent in cultivation, he has extremely high attainments in the lineage of literature."

"If nothing unexpected happens, within three years, I'm afraid my brother Qinglian will be able to attain the status of a great scholar. At that time, I can suppress you with just one sentence. Even ten of you will not be able to stand up to my brother Qinglian."

Chen Hongfei said with a determined look.

He had no idea about the level of Mr. Qinglian, but since he was appreciated by his goddess, he must be a rare talent. In that case, it was no big deal to brag about him a few words.

After hearing this, Huangfu Tianlong was dissatisfied.

"Heh, he can kill an immortal just by moving his mouth. Let alone how difficult it is to become a great scholar, even if he becomes a great scholar, I can kill him with one slap."

Huangfu Tianlong said seriously.

But at this moment, Li Yu pulled Huangfu Tianlong's sleeve, regained his composure, and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Huangfu Dao, let's be honest. You can't be killed by a beating."

Li Yu said this.

Huangfu Tianlong on the side was stunned.

After hearing this, Chen Hongfei couldn't help but look even more proud.

"It seems that there is still a sensible person around you. Never mind. I don't want to argue with a vulgar person like you. I will continue to listen to the music."

Chen Hongfei didn't want to continue arguing, so as not to disturb the elegance of Fairy Zishuang.

"Friend Li, why don't you help me, but help outsiders? Brother Ye, please give me some advice."

"Brother Ye, why are you looking even darker? Who has offended you? Is it this Chen Hongfei? Do you want me to beat him up now?"

Huangfu Tianlong said seriously.

Li Yu pulled Huangfu Tianlong and said, "Brother Huangfu, stop talking. Let's go back and talk."

Li Yu wanted to pull Huangfu Tianlong away quickly.

Ye Ping also stood up and left.

He didn't leave because he was angry, but he just didn't want to stay here any longer. It was meaningless, so he might as well prepare for tomorrow's Ten Nations Competition.

As soon as Ye Ping left, Huangfu Tianlong didn't waste any more words and immediately followed Ye Ping. Li Yu also followed behind, and the three of them disappeared directly into the courtyard.

But after Ye Ping left, Fairy Zishuang in the pavilion continued to ask about Master Qinglian.

Chen Hongfei kept on making up some interesting stories between him and Mr. Qinglian, but he just had to make them up.

far away.

After leaving the courtyard, Ye Ping and the other two came to their residence to rest.

There are hundreds of gardens of all sizes in the Line of Sky. This is the most luxurious restaurant in the capital of Wei State, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres. The residences are all mansions, not high-rise buildings.

Luxury has reached its extreme, subverting the imagination of the poor.

In the courtyard of the mansion, Huangfu Tianlong looked at Li Yudao in some confusion.

"Friend Li, although I know you are the crown prince of Jin State and that Qinglian Lay Buddhist is also from Jin State, you can't be so partial to him. Others only help their relatives and ignore others, but you are the opposite. You neither help your relatives nor others."

Huangfu Tianlong has a rather straightforward temper, and he is still a little upset about what happened just now.

However, Li Yu seemed a little amused and said to Huangfu Tianlong.

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, please stop talking. You really can't beat Master Qinglian."

Li Yu said this.

"Who said that? He became a great scholar, but he only protected himself with his literary spirit. I am not evil, so even if he is full of righteousness, what can he do? Can he really criticize me and suppress me with just one word or action?"

Huangfu Tianlong himself is a warmonger. You can say anything bad about him except saying he is not good enough.

"No, even if Qinglian Jushi is not a great scholar, you are still no match for him."

Li Yu continued.

"Friend Li, you are looking down on me. Could it be that Qinglian Hermit is a thousand-year-old monster?"

Huangfu Tianlong became even more unconvinced when he heard this.

It is hard to say whether one can really become a great Confucian scholar. A great Confucian scholar has a great sense of righteousness and is indeed very powerful, but among the literati who are not great Confucian scholars, he will kill ten thousand of them.

"He's not an old monster, just a few years older than you."

Li Yu continued.

"How many years older? Brother Li, I am not bragging, but among the ten nations, there are no more than twenty people of the same age who can defeat me. Now that I have broken through to the seventh level, there are no more than one palm."

Huangfu Tianlong said with great confidence.

But soon, Huangfu Tianlong frowned and said.

"Do you know this Qinglian Layman?"

He finally noticed something was wrong.

"Well, not only do I know him, but I know him very well. You know him too."

Li Yu nodded and reminded Huangfu Tianlong.

"I know him too?"

For a moment, Huangfu Tianlong was a little surprised.

But the next moment, Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but look at Ye Ping, and then looked at Li Yu in astonishment, with both astonishment and confusion in his eyes.

"Well, my master is the Qinglian Lay Buddhist?"

Li Yu nodded.

"what?"

"Senior Brother Ye is the Qinglian Layman?"

"Did you lie to me?"

Huangfu Tianlong was confused.

He would never have thought that Ye Ping would be the Qinglian Monk.

But when he found that Li Yu and Ye Ping didn't say anything, Huangfu Tianlong believed it in an instant.

At this moment, Huangfu Tianlong not only believed it, but also completely understood why Li Yu said that he could not beat Master Qinglian.

To be honest, this is really unbeatable.

Furthermore, Huangfu Tianlong finally understood why Ye Ping had been so upset before.

However, Huangfu Tianlong was more curious and confused, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Ye, since you are the Qinglian Lay Buddhist, why don't you just expose that guy?"

Huangfu Tianlong looked at Ye Ping, his eyes full of doubt.

"Okay, it's just Chen Hongfei, why are you arguing with him?"

Ye Ping opened his mouth, poured a cup of tea for Huangfu Tianlong and Li Yu respectively, and then spoke slowly.

"Brother Huangfu, Li Yu, remember what my senior brother said: a truly strong person is not just about strength, the most important thing is vision and pattern."

"Especially you, Li Yu, you are the crown prince of Jin. You may not have any accomplishments or talents, but you must have vision and a vision to see things that others cannot see and think about things that others cannot think about."

"Brother Huangfu, you should do the same. Don't just make a scene when someone comes out. What can you gain by fighting with that kind of person? Even if you beat him up, will he beg for mercy?"

"Would you really be happy even if he begged for mercy?"

Ye Ping looked at Huangfu Tianlong and said so.

"meeting."

Huangfu Tianlong nodded seriously.

Ye Ping: “…”

Okay, I won’t say any more.

Ye Ping took a sip of tea and then spoke.

"Tomorrow is the Ten Nations Competition, let's talk about this."

Ye Ping didn't want to talk about vision and perspective anymore. It was meaningless. Talking about this to Huangfu Tianlong was like playing the lute to a cow.

Just mentioning the Ten-Nation Competition, Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but look a little dejected.

"Brother Ye, please don't mention the Ten Nations Competition. I have made all the preparations for this competition, but I didn't expect there would be no fighting. I can accept no fighting, but there has to be a literary examination."

"I read books all day yesterday. Although I remember everything by heart, the problem is that the Ten Kingdoms' literary examination will never be a test of dictation. I am also confused now."

Huangfu Tianlong looked a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Huangfu, you don't have to feel bad. If you think it's difficult, so do others. Although the civil service examination is the last big competition, it doesn't matter if you fail. If we all fail together, isn't it the same as not failing?"

Li Yu comforted Huangfu Tianlong.

After hearing this, Huangfu Tianlong was stunned, and then he couldn't help but say with joy.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that."

Huangfu Tianlong suddenly felt that his thoughts became clear.

After hearing what Li Yu said, Ye Ping was also shocked.

Because what it said is indeed reasonable.
