Chapter 42 Wei Yu

The crowd slowly entered the huge venue, and soon the quiet venue became noisy. I had no intention of communicating with others. After all, many things are wrong when you say too much, so I kept observing the venue. I don’t know why I always had a strange feeling in my heart, that is, the venue was not as simple as it looked, especially the carvings. The more I looked, the more thrilling it felt.

“Hey, big brother, are you alone?” Although I didn’t plan to communicate with others, it didn’t mean that others wouldn’t communicate with me. At this time, someone finally sat down in the seat on my left, and he even warmly greeted me.

As he spoke, I turned my eyes to him. Upon closer inspection, I realized that he was another young man in his 20s. He had a somewhat shifty look and his eyes kept darting around. To put it nicely, he was clever, but to put it bluntly, he looked a bit wretched.

I have no prejudice against people like this, and I even find his somewhat wretched expression somewhat endearing. After all, my master looked like this when he was out of shape.

This is the second young person I have met. The first one gave me a really bad impression, but that doesn’t mean I’ll dismiss everyone. I’m just surprised that someone so young can come here.

“Well, a person.” After considering the above, I paused for a second and still chose to pick up the conversation.

When I said I was alone, the young man’s eyes rolled again, and then he leaned in very close to my ear and said, “Brother, are you going to the Dragon Gate at the Fish Leap? It’s a bit of a hassle for a lone wolf like me. I can get you a spot in the martial arts competition, but I need someone to partner with. Brother, are you willing?”

I pondered for a moment and didn’t answer him. If I were another wandering fighter, I would have agreed immediately. After all, according to the rules of the tournament, the challenge of a wandering fighter is to be sent after the martial arts sect, and if you want to sign up, you must pass a test to prove your strength and reliability before you can challenge the stage. The person recommended by the martial arts sect does not have to go through so much trouble. After the challenge is over, you can go straight to the Dragon Gate.

He needs people to cooperate, probably because he is concerned about the rules of the conference. Some small sects have few people, not to mention recommending people to go up, and even the disciples are not many. Occasionally, if there is a talented person, they are estimated to have kept it for themselves and are unwilling to use it to climb up the relationship with the top ten powers, so they have not used the recommended quota.

The rules of the conference are that the person who recommends someone must have at least two people to recommend, depending on the size of the school. The reason for this is to select the best talent to the greatest extent and avoid those schools using second-rate talent to fool around.

This idea is actually good, but I already have a plan in mind, and I don’t want to cause any trouble. After thinking for a while, I said, “I’m going to the Dragon Gate, but I don’t need a place in the sect.”

My reply surprised the young man, who couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, why are you doing this?” After all, not many people can refuse such a good thing.

I shook my head and said in a deep voice, “If you have the strength, you should practice more. Whether it’s practicing your hands or your heart, it’s a good thing. Why take the shortcut?”

My words made the young man frown. After a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said to me with a thumbs-up: “Brother, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years! I understand, I understand, I don’t want the quota for that school. I’ll just pass the test for the layman, and then we’ll go register together.”

I was stunned. Looking at this somewhat shifty-eyed guy, how could I tell him that I was actually talking nonsense? I also didn’t expect him to have such ambitions.

But the guy didn’t think twice about it and started talking about himself, saying his name was Wei Yu, how old he was, where he was from, and when he started learning Taoism, going into great detail.

I barely managed to hold back my impatience and maintain a friendly appearance while listening to him, but as he went on talking, he leaned in and whispered in my ear, “Brother, I feel that I have a connection with you. Do you know why?”

How could I possibly know why? I could only shake my head and smile bitterly.

Seeing that I shook my head, he continued in a low voice, “I also got the invitation, entered the cave, and kept observing when I came out. I wanted to find a partner, but as you know, which sect or background can have an invitation? So, I picked you after much deliberation, and I deliberately sat next to you. I didn’t expect that your words would stimulate my fighting spirit and make my heart of Taoism more stable in an instant. I decided to tell you a secret.”

I was once again dumbfounded by this guy. How exaggerated! I pretended to be B, and my words actually stabilized his heart of the Dao? How simple he was, that he would start telling secrets to a stranger like me?

But I have no interest in his secrets, but this guy doesn’t care, and once again he said to me in my ear, “Don’t look at me as a layman, our lineage is also a one-to-one single-handed, but going back, our lineage is the descendant of the immortals!”

“Ah?” My exclamation attracted the attention of everyone around us, and Wei Yu kept gesturing for me to stay calm! Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to stay calm, it’s just that… I don’t know how to describe it.

Facing my expression, Wei Yu said to me in a mysterious tone, “Don’t look at me like this. My spiritual perception is excellent.”

Spiritual perception, outstanding? My face twitched a little. In fact, I’m not prejudiced against people’s appearance, but when a guy with a rat’s head and a rat’s eyes, with his mouth open and his whiskers trembling, seriously tells you that he is a descendant of immortals and has outstanding spiritual perception, anyone would have my reaction, right?

“Brother, don’t you believe it, it’s true! I know a lot, I know the whole Snow Mountain sect, for example, the carvings on the walls of this hall, they are…” Wei Yu hurriedly explained, but at that moment, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and the noise of the crowd suddenly drowned out Wei Yu’s voice, so that I didn’t hear what he was saying.

Even Wei Yu himself didn’t want to say anything, and he excitedly pulled me and said, “Brother, look, the guys from the top ten powers are entering. Gee, what a scene, gee… I must also become one of the top ten powers, no, I must become their chief disciple.”

I was silent, but my eyes were fixed on a certain entrance. That was the secret entrance, only the ten powers and the Snow Mountain lineage could enter from that entrance. At that moment, people from the ten powers were just coming out of that entrance.

I don’t have any feelings for these ten powers, but I have also been chased by a major power recently, and this major power has forced Jiang Yidu to compromise. So I want to see if there is any of these so-called ten powers in this group?

The crowd entered in an orderly fashion, but I was unfamiliar with all of them. Only those who felt slightly older deliberately made a show of being virtuous and refined, while those who were obviously disciples were outwardly humble, but in fact had a deep-seated pride and conceit.

“Big brother, when I become the chief disciple, I will definitely take care of you, I…” Wei Yu was still chattering in my ear, but I, who had already become bored, suddenly widened my eyes.

A female cultivator’s shrill scream rang in my ears, and two images appeared in my eyes. One was dressed in a white Tang suit, with a calm expression and an ordinary appearance, but he had a leader’s temperament. The other was very handsome, but he looked violent and unapproachable, wearing leather clothes and sunglasses on his nose.

The nuns’ screams were coming one after another, but in my mind, I couldn’t help but replay a picture of a day when I passed by them. It was them, it was them, the people who were chasing after my whereabouts that day!

My brows furrowed, and I couldn’t help but point at them and ask Wei Yu next to me, “Who are these two people? What are their powers?”

Wei Yu’s face was originally an expression of envy and jealousy. Upon hearing my question, his expression instantly became even more wonderful, as if he were looking at me like an alien, and he said to me, “How did you come to this city? How could someone who knows this city not know them?”

Isn’t it exaggerated that I don’t know them? I can only say, “I have been practicing hard, and coming to the big city is also an accident in an accident. It’s a chance. I really don’t know who they are. Is this exaggerated?”

Wei Yu put on a look of exaggerated empathy, then put his hand on my shoulder and sighed, saying, “Really, it’s hard for you to get an invitation! But, brother, we really have a connection, even our thoughts are the same.”

“What idea?” I didn’t quite understand this Wei Yu.

“Of course, I’m not happy that these two guys are so popular with the female disciples. You’re paying so much attention to them, so you must think the same thing! Do you think we have a connection?” Wei Yu’s expression of “you’ve won my heart” made me inexplicably break into a cold sweat. What the hell is this idea? But I could only acquiesce.

Then Wei Yu said to me, “The guy in the Tang suit is called Zhang Han, and the guy in the leather jacket is called Zheng Mingyi. They are both from the ‘S’ organization. Zhang Han is the chief disciple of the organization, and Zheng Mingyi is a very outstanding core disciple.”

“Why do you use a foreign letter to name the organization?” I asked casually.

“Two reasons!” Wei Yu suddenly became serious, and for some reason, I also became serious.
