Takeo

He Yi is a young and strong man on the Qianlong List. He is a genius in the true sense. Even if his brain is not very good, he is still a genius. Such a genius cannot be compared with ordinary monks. He said before that The monk is afraid that he wants to compete with Chen Chao, not himself, because he feels that his realm is too high and his reputation is too great. If he takes action himself, it is meaningless, and he will be said to bully the small and rely on the strong. Bullying.

It's just that he didn't even think about it, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it, but the young man in black opposite him was so arrogant that he actually chose to fight him.

This was something he hadn't even thought of.

"Do you know what that means?"

He Yi's face was slightly cold, with a face full of arrogance, and he said calmly: "You will make this competition meaningless."

Chen Chao smiled and said: "If I defeat those people, will you take action? If you want to take action, will I have to fight you in the end? Since I have to fight you in the end, why didn't I take action at the beginning? Choose to fight you?"

Among the monks outside the field, He Yi has the highest level. If the fight goes to the end, he will definitely end up. In this case, why not choose him from the beginning?
He Yi said: "You know that's different."

If he can win against those young monks and finally force him to take action, then even if he loses in the end, Chen Chao's reputation will still be good. Everyone will still recognize him as a good young man, but he is still far from a real genius. It's just a distance, but if he faced He Yi from the beginning and then lost, Chen Chao would be said to be overestimating his abilities, and he would not have a good reputation. Coupled with the previous things, his reputation would be Got into a very bad situation.

Chen Chao said nonchalantly: "Just think that I am seeking wealth and honor in danger."

He Yi smiled and said: "I don't want to bully you, but since you have this idea, I will play with you."

He is a genius on the Hidden Dragon List, so naturally he will not have any fear. After saying this, he walked out of the palace.

There is no sloppiness whatsoever.

If he chooses to avoid fighting when challenged by Chen Chao, it will be even more humiliating than losing.

Watching He Yi leave, the young people at the table got up one after another and walked out of the hall to watch the competition. Chen Chao simplified the complex and turned all the troubles tonight into this competition. It seemed simple, but In fact, it is extremely difficult. He Yi is not a Qi practitioner like Guo Xi. Although he is also in the divine realm, he is definitely more difficult to deal with than Guo Xi. In the early stages of cultivation, a martial artist would have a huge disadvantage when facing monks.

This competition was not easy for Chen Chao.

After this competition, Chen Chao's reputation will definitely face a huge polarization, regardless of victory or defeat.

Xie Nandu came to Chen Chao's side, took a look at this young man who looked different tonight than before, frowned and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you care so much?"

She was talking about why Chen Chao did these things.

Based on her understanding of Chen Chao, she knew that he was definitely not such a flamboyant person. His behavior in the hall before was more or less different from him, at least the difference was not small.

As for the reason, she already knew.

Chen Chao said calmly: "Just think that I want to go crazy."

Xie Nandu said softly: "Did you have a similar statement when you were in Nanhu?"

Chen Chao was exposed in an understatement. His old face turned red and he said with some embarrassment: "Did you tell me? I don't remember."

Xie Nandu didn't care about this matter and asked instead: "Are you sure?"

Chen Chao thought about it seriously and said: "If he were in the mountains outside Tianqing County, I would definitely be able to kill him without paying a high price, but now in the square outside Zhengyang Palace, We can’t kill anyone, and we have to leave some cards unused, so I’m at least [-]% sure.”

Xie Nandu thought for a while, nodded and said: "If you really want to lose, remember to save your life."

Although tonight is a sparring match, if there is no strong person watching from the sidelines, if something happens during the sparring process such as failing to stop in time, resulting in someone's death, it will be difficult for anyone to hold him accountable in the end.

Chen Chao said in surprise: "Don't you know that my second priority in killing people is actually my first priority in saving my life?"

In those deep mountains, killing monsters was nothing special. What was really remarkable was being able to leave the mountains alive.

Xie Nandu smiled, said nothing, and just walked out of the hall.

Chen Chao followed suit and said with a smile: "Just think of it as a warm-up for the Wanliu Conference in the future. When the time comes, I will be the leader."

……

……

People came out of the Zhengyang Palace. The palace maids had already found the best overseas luminous pearls and placed them on the stone pillars around the square. In just an instant, the square was illuminated as bright as day by those precious luminous pearls.

He Yi stood at one end of the square, his Taoist robe gradually filled with energy, like a breeze blowing.

At this moment, He Yi really has some immortal energy in his body, and he looks like a real cultivator.A young man dressed in black came to the opposite side and looked at He Yi quietly.

The second prince came to the court and said loudly: "Tonight is just a competition. Both of you are rare geniuses in the world. No matter who is injured, I, the Liang Dynasty, will feel heartache. I hope you will take care of me."

His words were vague, but his meaning was actually very clear.

While speaking, the second prince actually looked not at the two people present, but at Li Heng standing beside him.

This Eunuch Li may seem ordinary, but in fact he is a very powerful man. Only with him here can we truly avoid any accidents.

Li Heng felt the second prince's gaze and nodded slightly to indicate his knowledge.

The second prince then retreated and stood aside with everyone, preparing to watch the battle.

Seeing the second prince retreating, He Yi looked at Chen Chao and said calmly: "I was mostly disgusted with you before, but now that you have the courage to choose to fight me, it makes me less malicious towards you. It’s just that you think that by killing Guo Xi and his ilk, you will be able to fight me, it’s really ridiculous.”

Chen Chao said: "I have said before that I will still have to fight you in the end. In this case, I will just fight you."

He Yi frowned, trying to understand something, and said with some appreciation: "So, do you think that after fighting them, if you win by chance, a lot of energy will be wasted, and you will be at a disadvantage if you fight with me in the end? But you Haven't you ever thought that if such a thing happened, wouldn't I give you a chance to adjust your breathing?"

Chen Chao said helplessly: "I think you think too much, I just find it troublesome."

He Yi just thought that the young man in front of him was just being tough, looked into the depths of the imperial city, and said with emotion: "Don't worry, we are in the imperial city tonight, I won't kill you, even if I really have this intention, I won't do it here. Such a stupid thing."

The dispute at the imperial banquet was an issue between young people. No matter how big the dispute was, it would not attract the attention of the real big shots. But if he killed people in the imperial city, it was regarded as a provocation to His Majesty the Emperor, and the problem would be Extremely, no matter how weak the Liang Dynasty was, warriors like the Emperor of Liang always needed to be respected.

In other words, if this was not the imperial city of Daliang, Chen Chao would not be able to escape death tonight.

Chen Chao said: "In return, I will not try to kill you tonight."

He looked at He Yi with a smile and seemed to really think so.

He Yi shook his head, did not speak, just stretched out his hand. Wind blew up in the room, his Taoist robes swayed slightly, and indescribable energy flowed through his Taoist robes.

Chen Chao held down the handle of the knife, raised his head and glanced at He Yi in front of him, then started running without saying a word.

He had done this kind of thing many times, so when he was running, he thought of those monsters in the mountains for no reason. Among the monsters in Tianqing County, he was a notorious big devil, but he didn't know that he would still be alive in this life. Is there any chance to go back again?

Thinking of this, he actually became sentimental.

Fortunately, the next moment, he had come to his senses again. Looking at He Yi, he seemed to have seen the most ferocious monster in the mountain.

……

……

Zhengyang Palace is actually a very low-lying palace in the imperial city. There are many palaces at high places around this palace, but they are very far apart. It is not easy to see from those palaces. On weekdays, it is not easy. No one will look at the square in front of Zhengyang Palace in front of these palaces.

But tonight is not an ordinary day. Emperor Daliang stood in front of a certain palace and looked at the square in front of Zhengyang Palace. Although the two were far apart, it was not difficult for Emperor Daliang.

A lot of things happened tonight, from the queen summoning Chen Chao, to the young man from the Ning family pretending to be a fool for others in the Zhengyang Palace, to the test by the monk outside, to Xie Nandu speaking out, to the young man returning to the Zhengyang Palace, but there was no He didn't know anything. Thinking about what the young man said at the banquet, Emperor Liang couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied with the young man's reaction at the banquet, no matter what the reason for his reaction was. But it is enough.

This is the situation he wants to see.

Teenagers should always be a little unbridled and public.

"This kid is really good. I like him very much. What about you, what do you think..."

Emperor Liang suddenly spoke, his voice was light, but he stopped abruptly before he finished his sentence.

It was already the third watch, and the queen was weak and had already gone to bed. Li Heng, his most trusted chamberlain, was outside the Zhengyang Palace. Before coming here, he had retreated, but there was no one around him at the moment.

His voice wandered in front of the empty temple, like a wandering spirit.

He had been living like this for a long time, but in fact Emperor Liang was still not used to it. What he liked was the days when he rode horses and hunted in his fiefdom.

Emperor Daliang was silent for a long time, and then said sadly: "I forgot that you have been gone for many years."
