C25 Part1

Translated by Flo Edited by Flo

Zhuang Tian had already realized that they had made up their mind and instead of asking his disciples to study hard, he let them work and rest.

On the contrary, it was Hua Che and Chu Binghuan who somehow changed their temperaments overnight. They were more energetic than anyone else, and urged others to work hard together, making everyone miserable.

Hua Che set a new work and rest schedule, only allowed one hour of sleep and one meal a day, torturing Mu Rongsa and the others was tired and hungry.

“Wake up!” Hua Che knocked on the table to wake Mu Rongsa up, and said, “Either you go all in or all out! It doesn’t matter if we are beaten up. It’s not okay for people to look down on Ling Xiao Palace, and we will lose face if we lose. We can’t let others look down on our master, you hear me?!”

How could it be possible for Mu Rongsa to not be in the limelight? He suddenly became energetic, not sleepy anymore, and went to practice the domineering side to self-cultivation.

Wen Yuan didn’t have much fighting spirit, instead he took it for granted and said, “Isn’t this a common thing in our family to be laughed at and looked down upon? Eighth Junior Brother, you haven’t gotten used to it because it’s only been a short time after you first joined the school. Just wait until you get used to it.”

“I won’t get used to it.” Hua Che said, “The past is the past, and the present is the present. From now on, I want everyone to mention the Lingxiao Palace with only one word: awe.  “

Zhuang Xiao Er nodded: “It’s a great thing to have ideals.”

Zhuang Xiao San: “I used to think so too.”

Zhuang Xiao Si: “Wash up and sleep, Eighth Junior Brother.”

Zhuang Xiao Wu: “Let’s count on Chu Tianyi. Although he is Yuntian Shuijing’s son, when we go to the Wanmen Martial Arts the, we represent all masters. If Chu Tianyu performs well, he may be able to enter the top ten.”

“I’m sorry.” Hua Che stretched out his hand to interrupt, with a bright and clear smile, “The first place is mine, let’s leave the second place aside to Ice Cube!”

Everyone: “…”

“Senior brother, did Eighth Junior Brother make a mistake in repairing some of the music scores and ended him stupid?”

“The eighth brother is so pitiful！”

“It’s hard for this child to have such a heart, hey, it’s a pity that he is a fool。”

Hua Che ignored them, just smiled and looked at Mu Rongsa who was in the distance: “Sa Sa, third place, Do you have confidence?？”

Mu Rongsa: “Roll! This young master wants to be the first一！”

Hua Che was very pleased to see that he was full of fighting spirit, and added fuel and jealousy: “The top three have been agreed, otherwise, you will wash the dirty clothes of the whole division.”

As soon as the words came out, they immediately gained everyone’s support.

“Brother Mu is mighty!”

“Brother Mu, work harder, Brother, I have saved a basket of dirty clothes!”

“Aww, Mu show-off I love you.”

Zhuang Tian standing in the distance was full of tears.

Damn, my disciples are so caring about one another！！！

As the weather gets warmer and the sun comes in May, the quadrennial Wanmen Immortals Fair is held again in Shangqing Immortal Sect.

The disciples from Kyushu all over the world gathered together to participate in the grand event, and the whole Kunlun Mountain became lively.

Hua Che and his party checked their appearance repeatedly, and set off with Zhuang Tian after making sure that they would not lose face.

Even if you don’t participate in this grand event, just feeling the competitive atmosphere will make your blood boil.

Even though Hua Che had participated three times, he was still shocked by this unprecedented scene. Those who fly in the sky and those who run underground are all disciples from all over the world. Everyone rushes to Kunlun Mountain by coincidence. On the way, they will meet old acquaintances and stop for a chat. The whole atmosphere was very lively.

Mu Rongsa had been to Shang Qing Sect a long time ago, and he didn’t think it was unusual. He looked at Lin Yan who had been dumbfounded for a long time, and asked, “Did you bring those two oval belts?”

It took Lin Yan a long time to come back to his senses: “Huh? Oh, I brought it with me.”

“What the hell are those two doing? Taking a long time without even breaking the shell.”

Lin Yan touched the cloth pocket and said, “Eighth brother helped me find many books, but none of them are similar to them.”

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Zhuang Tian handed over the order of martial arts and led his disciples into the mountain gate。

It is roughly estimated that there are as many as 100,000 disciples participating in the Wanmen Martial Arts Tournament this time.

How easy is it to stand out from the 100,000 people and enter the top 100? How difficult is it to enter the top ten from the top 100? Not to mention the top three.

Wen Yuan felt suffocated for a while, and followed Zhuang Tian with his head down.

The disciples of the Shang Qing Immortal Sect led the crowd to live in the wing room, told them to rest for one night, and will officially meet tomorrow.

As for the content of the competition, Hua Che is quite experienced. There are three rounds in total. In the first round, all the disciples will be imprisoned in the secret realm. Those who can successfully advance from the illusion can basically eliminate 70 to 80% of the disciples in this wave.

In the second round, the disciples are required to control the sword in the sky, and the elders of the Shang Qing will release monsters such as soul-destroying bats, spirit-eating birds, headless ghosts, etc., and the disciples will shoot them with bows and arrows.

The third round is a one-on-one arena competition, drawing lots until the first place is decided.

The process of this Wanmen Martial Arts Tournament is not a secret, everyone knows it.

Lin Yan has just arrived here, and everything is new, but he is really shy and timid, so he dares not run around by himself.

Seeing this, Hua Che offered to show him around. Lin Yan was overjoyed, nodded and ran away with Hua Che.

Not only Lin Yan wanted to see it, but Hua Che also wanted to see it.

I haven’t come back here for hundreds of years, and even when I go to various places, it is inevitable that I will fall in love with the scenery.

In his previous life, he thought he had only four closest relatives, Granny Jiang, Master Lu Mingfeng, Junior Brother Lu Yao, and… that Chu Binghuan who always ignored him.

Although it’s a bit hot to stick to a cold butt , he just trusts him wishfully, follows him, and deliberately tries to please him.

It’s just a matter of being blindsided.

Granny Jiang is far away in the mortal world, his master is strict and solemn, and Chu Binghuan is as cold as frost and snow. In fact, it is Lu Yao who has the most contact with Hua Che.

When they first met, Lu Yao got lost in Hangzhou and was targeted by two traffickers. Fortunately, Hua Che happened to pass by and rescued him in time.

Back then, Lu Yao was about nine years old, and was picked up by two tall and burly men like chickens, and had no other choice but to cry.

Ten-year-old Hua Che followed all the way, and then witnessed the traffickers selling Lu Yao to the theatrical troupe. He directly lit the thatch, without the stables, the entire theater troupe would be in a mess.

By the time Hua Che took advantage of the chaos to find Lu Yao, that guy was already so frightened that he couldn’t even move.

Angrily, Hua Che raised his hand and slapped him, waking him up alive, and dragging him away.

Lu Yao thanked him a thousand times, and said that he would repay the kindness if he had the opportunity.

Six years passed in a blink of an eye, he joined Shang Qing and became Lu Yao’s junior, half a month later, he became Lu Yao’s senior again.

Lu Yao is a bit timid, very cowardly, he has no idea of what to do, and he will do whatever others tell him to do. Even if he has doubts in his heart, as long as he is frightened by someone’s harsh words, he will immediately behave and dare not say a word.

This indecisive temperament is purely caused by Lu Mingfeng’s abuse. Of course, Father Yan is good, but for Hua Che, an outsider like Lu Mingfeng, who has hurt Lu Yao’s self-esteem since he was a child, can’t look down on him.

Maybe it’s because he is one year older than Lu Yao, or maybe it’s because as a senior brother, he loves and protects his younger brother.

Gradually, Hua Che’s desire to protect rose in his heart. No matter what trouble Lu Yao caused, he jumped out immediately to take care of it. He was skinny and shameless anyway, so he was not afraid of shame. Even if the Master beat him and scolded him, he would still go to the house to expose.

At the time of Mingyue Valley, in order to save Lu Yao, he stumbled and fell into the dangerous, cool pool.

He didn’t expect that there would be poisonous insects in the cold pool, and he was bitten all over by those densely packed insects that couldn’t be named. Hua Che thought that he was bound to die, but he didn’t expect that he survived with super willpower.

He forced out the poisonous blood, and then chopped those poisonous insects into meat paste.

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, since then, Hua Che has been invulnerable to all kinds of poisons.

After obtaining the Ji Feng Sword and being picked up by Chu Binghuan, it felt really good to see the light of day again. Maybe they all thought he was dead, and became terrified when they suddenly saw a living person.

Lu Yao even rushed forward without saying a word, crying until the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dark.

“Qing Kong, I thought you were woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I’ll never see you again…” There was a cry and a hiccup, tears streaming down his face. It was both miserable and funny.

Later, after the Wanmen Martial Arts Tournament, he became a well-known signboard of the Shang Qing Immortal Gate. The topic of Kyushu land cannot be separated from him, and the disciples of the Shang Qing Immortal Sect are all talking about his brave performance during the martial arts meeting.

“They were all taught by the head teacher, one was born and the other was raised. Why do you think the gap is so big?”

“Who says it’s not! Our headmaster is famous all over Kyushu, and he is the first person in the immortal way, but his son is mediocre, cowardly and incompetent. I doubt whether he is even his own son.”

“Hahaha, a biological son is not as good as someone from outside. If the head teacher passes on the position to his apprentice Hua Qingkong in the future, do you think Junior Brother Lu Yao will cry?”

Hua Che and Lu Yao were upstairs.

Before Lu Yao could react, Hua Che rushed down and beat up everyone, until they cried and cried, and never dared to gossip behind their backs anymore.

Because of this, Hua Che violated the family rules and was punished by Lu Mingfeng to kneel for seven days, copy hundreds of books, and face the wall for a year.

Hua Che still remembered Lu Yao’s expression at that time, it was neither wronged nor embarrassed, nor angry at all.  He was calm and scary, as if it was not the first time he had heard this, he accepted it for granted. He smiled at Hua Che and said, “It’s okay, what they said is the truth, I’m not angry at all, really.”

His behavior made Hua Che feel even more guilty.

“Lu Yao, don’t take those nonsense words to heart, my dream is to become Yuntian Shuijing’s door-to-door son-in-law !  What kind of headmaster, I don’t want to be it!  Actually you……”

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: “I know that my aptitude is dull, not as talented as yours. There is no way, who can I blame for the aptitude given by God? Admitting that I am ordinary is also a kind of courage. It doesn’t matter, even if I am ordinary. So what? Don’t I still have you, I have a brother who is better than any of them? Even if there is danger, you will protect me, I don’t need to  worry about anything. “

Hua Che never thought that Lu Yao could have such a lofty and open mind.

Who said that Lu Yao is not like Lu Mingfeng?  Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue. Isn’t this just following his father’s character?

“Don’t worry Lu Yao, this senior brother will always protect you.”

“Eighth senior brother, eighth senior brother.” Lin Yan tugged at Hua Che, Hua Che suddenly recovered, and heard Lin Yan say by his side, “The Immortal Master Lu is here!”

Hua Che was stunned for a moment, the person walking slowly from the depths of the veranda was Lu Yao.

“Qingkong.” Lu Yao greeted him enthusiastically, Hua Che smiled indifferently, and saluted Immortal Master Shangqing.

In the distance, Chu Binghuan happened to pass by.

There was a grass pavement half-hidden by flower clusters, Chu Binghuan couldn’t see it clearly, only knew that the two people were standing very close to each other, and they seemed to be having a happy conversation.

Chu Binghuan’s face darkened.

He and Hua Che are close friends, but Hua Che and Lu Yao are also good friends. Those two met much earlier than he and Hua Che.

Lu Yao is like a child who can’t grow up, relying too much on Hua Che.  And Hua Che is like a big brother, taking care of Lu Yao too much.

When he was in Shang Qing, Hua Che was punished ten times, seven of which were for Lu Yao.

The two of them lived in the Shang Qing Pavilion together. They got along day and night, practiced martial arts together, ate meals together, went on missions together to eliminate demons, even the swords they used were from the same origin.

It would be a lie to say I’m not jealous.

How could it be possible?

Chu Binghuan thought that since he had a high level of cultivation, he shouldn’t have this kind of jealousy. This is the behavior of a villain and should not appear on a gentleman. But he just couldn’t help it; whenever he saw the two of them alone, it was very unpleasant!

Maybe Lu Yao’s laggardness didn’t understand, but Hua Che definitely had that intention. After Hua Che became the demon king, Chu Binghuan became more suspicious of this.

Hua Che imprisoned him in Fenqing Palace, forcing them to be cultivation companions and on the other hand, he wanted to take hostages, so as to blackmail the immortals.

Kidnapping Lu Yao is useless.

In other words, Lu Yao is a special existence in Hua Che’s heart. He doesn’t want to get involved or destroy it, so he carefully protects Lu Yao on the tip of his heart.

After all, Hua Che specially ordered the protector Shang Yao to monitor Lu Yao’s every move, and also warned him that if Lu Yao was in danger, he must be saved at all costs!

Hua Che was afraid that something would happen to Lu Yao, even if it was just a scratch, he was more worried than anyone else.

I still remember that one day, Hua Che drank too much wine and ran to the bamboo building to make a fuss. He lay down on the table and said sadly, “Today is the anniversary of Granny Jiang’s death.”

Chu Binghuan knew about the relationship between Granny Jiang and Hua Che, and seeing him so drunk, his heart softened.

As soon as he was about to help Hua Che up, Hua Che suddenly counterattacked. He did not know where he got hold of the rope as Hua Che tied his hands to the bedposts in two or three strokes.

Chu Binghuan almost went mad with anger, this bastard is really pitiful at all, tricks one after another, strong one day, pretending to be pitiful the next, even making up such lies as the death anniversary of Granny Jiang’s, it’s really insane!

“I didn’t lie to you, today is really Granny Jiang’s death anniversary, but if she knows that I am finally with my sweetheart, she will definitely be happy for me.”

He pressed forward after speaking, “Don’t be ashamed, there was a marriage contract three hundred years ago for the two of us, it’s only right and proper. You’ve already been tied up, don’t waste your efforts, you won’t be able to escape from me…”

Chu Binghuan was thinking about how to escape, when suddenly Hua Che’s face changed drastically, turning pale as paper, followed by choking up a mouthful of blood.

Chu Binghuan was frightened, and before he could ask any further questions, Hua Che called his subordinates anxiously, and shouted sharply, “Hurry up and find Lu Yao! Order all the rudders in the ten directions to go out and look for him!”

The rudders spread in ten directions, and a hundred elder demons have dispatched the entire Demon Realm to find one person.

This… I still can’t understand!

“Hua Qingkong!” Chu Binghuan couldn’t bear it any longer, rushed over vigorously, grabbed Hua Che’s wrist and left.

Hua Che, who was about to bid farewell to Lu Yao, was caught off guard by Chu Binghuan, who dragged him back to the yard where he was staying, pushed him into the room roughly, and shut the door behind him.

What are you doing?

Hua Che rubbed his sore wrist, and before he could question him, Chu Binghuan went into a rage: “Do you know your identity?”

“Ah?” Hua Che is confused, what is his identity? I know a yarn?

Chu Binghuan scolded in a cold voice: “You are a person with a marriage contract, how can you be entangled with others?”

“Entangled?” Hua Che was even more confused, “With whom? Lu Yao, what the hell?”

“I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to argue?” The jealousy of the past and the present erupted at the same time. Chu Binghuan was so angry that all his internal organs boiled, and he almost breathed fire.

Hua Che was stunned, taking a full view of Chu Binghuan’s emotions. Suddenly, Hua Che smiled: “Young Master Chu, you must be…eating vinegar, right?”

Chu Binghuan’s eyes flashed red.

Hua Che shouldn’t have responded with any expression.

This development is too scary!

Chu Binghuan’s eyes were sharp, and he said sternly: “A person should keep his promise and stick to it until the end. Since you and I have a marriage contract, you shouldn’t hook up and provoke others.”

Hua Che had been avoiding him before, and had no chance to explain some things clearly. Now that they can catch up with one another, he is going to take advantage of the situation to explain clearly.

“Chu Binghuan, I went to your house to withdraw the engagement. Firstly, we are not in the right family. Secondly, I am used to being alone, and I don’t want to find a cultivation partner. Do you understand?”

Chu Binghuan responded without batting an eye: “If you don’t follow the marriage arrangements made by the elders, it is unfilial.”

Hua Che also looked serious, and said: “If you and I are not happy, is it filial piety to force a marriage? Your grandmother and my grandmother will not be happy either, why bother to make things difficult for others.”

Chu Binghuan: “No.”

“What?”

Chu Binghuan was categorical: “I will not be unhappy.”

Hua Che laughed, “Where did you get your confidence?”

Chu Binghuan said nothing, he instead looked at him deeply.

The soft and gentle gaze fell on Hua Che’s heart without any blemishes. Hua Che panicked and avoided it almost timidly.

“Furthermore,” Chu Binghuan deliberately paused, and took out a piece of paper from his bosom, “There is a token from the elders on it, and a marriage letter written by you on the bottom. You and I will spend a night together in Mingyue Valley, all kinds of vows. Now you want to admit it?”

Hua Che almost spurted blood: “What are you talking about!?”

“See for yourself.”

After taking the piece of paper, Hua Che could recognize his own handwriting. Thinking back to the situation that night in Mingyue Valley…

He had a high fever and was confused, and the memory of his previous life also came out to make trouble. Maybe he really dragged Chu Binghuan to swear to the sky under certain circumstances, and then wrote the marriage letter shamelessly.

Hua Che didn’t know that he was actually cheated by Chu Binghuan, but thought it was all his fault.

After all, Yun Miao, who cherishes the honor of Yu’s virtue in his heart, would not make such insidious calculations!

Just as Hua Che was about to make a move, Chu Binghuan snatched it away.

“You want to destroy the physical evidence?”

Hua Che wanted to cry but had no tears: “This, don’t take it seriously…”

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Chu Binghuan wanted to laugh, but he still kept his face tight, his gaze as cold as frost: “The words have been both said and written on top. Why don’t you take it seriously now?”

The Wanmen Martial Arts Tournament is coming soon, and if these things are to be avoided from affecting Hua Che’s performance.

So Chu Binghuan put away the marriage certificate, and said calmly: “If you don’t rank among the top three, we will immediately  marry.”

Hua Che jumped up in fright: “Stop messing around!”

“That’s right, at least we have to wait until the weak crown.” Chu Binghuan glanced at Hua Che indifferently, with a half-smile on his lips, and left with fluttering long hair, “If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can they be together day and night?”

Hua Che: “…”

Is this still the ice cube with a pure and innocent heart !  !  !
