Chapter 22 Participation
In the main hall, the elders gathered together to discuss what to do with Meng Xuan, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Suddenly, an elder remembered that the seventy-two once-in-a-decade contest was about to begin.
"Recently, isn't that competition about to start? Let Meng Xuan go and participate in it, let him realize his own strength, and then he should be able to realize the matter of accepting apprentices. As soon as the words were spoken, the elders agreed.
Suddenly, a person came running to Meng Xuan and said that the elders were looking for him, although he had some doubts in his heart and didn't know what he was going to do, he still walked in the direction of the elders' location.
Didn't I refuse before? What is the matter with me now? Meng Xuan thought as he walked on the road, and he would arrive in a short time.
"What's the matter?" As soon as Meng Xuan saw the elders, he didn't care if it was suitable or not, and directly expressed his doubts.
"The recent seventy-two once-in-a-decade competitions are about to start, and it's really a good opportunity for you to meet the masters and exercise your abilities. The elder touched the beard on his face, and smiled meaningfully.
He stood there and didn't speak, and the elder was not in a hurry, looking at Meng Xuan for a long time.
Meng Xuan suddenly spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere, "Okay, shall I go alone?" or ......" He paused and glanced at the elder, who was very satisfied with this reaction and smiled.
"Of course I won't let you go alone, I'll go with you. This was indeed what Meng Xuan expected, and he nodded, indicating that he knew.
Said it was to give me a chance to exercise myself, but in fact, I just wanted to see my strength clearly, or, hit me? Meng Xuan lowered his head, thinking in his heart, he turned around and wanted to go out, but the elder shouted: "Wait." "Stopped him.
"What's wrong?" he turned his head to meet the elder's eyes, not knowing what else he had to say.
"It's not a big deal, remind you to be prepared. Okay, you can go now. After Meng Xuan heard this, he smiled and teased: "I will do this if you don't want you to remind me." ”
Listening to his ridicule, the elder felt a little more comfortable, and without speaking, Meng Xuan turned around and left.
"Miss, have you heard?" Meng Xuan was summoned by the elders. Shang Linyue's maid brought the tea in, and after putting it on the table, she hesitated for a moment but opened her mouth, and was relieved to see that her expression had not changed.
"How did you find out?" she didn't change because she was still half-convinced, and she wasn't sure how true it was.
"The news spread by the people in the Blue Wolf Road is true nine times out of ten. The maid replied hurriedly.
Shang Linyue was silent for a long time, and when the maid was worried about telling the young lady about it, she suddenly said, "I know, you can go down now." ”
The maid looked at the young lady's face, nodded, and was completely relieved before leaving Shang Linyue's door.
"Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan, you still have a lot of ability. Shang Linyue muttered quietly, sat on the stool, took a sip of the tea brought in by the maid, and began to empty her mind, but before she knew it, she fell asleep.
After a long time, she woke up, because she had fallen asleep in a chair, and now she was a little sore, so she wanted to go out for a walk alone, and did not let her attendants follow.
When I walked to the market, I saw a good shop selling knick-knacks not far away, and I didn't care how many people were around, so I walked straight over.
Just as he was about to leave after buying his things, he heard Meng Xuan's name mentioned by someone in the nearby crowd, so he stopped and continued to listen to the following.
"Do you know, what was Meng Xuan called by the elders of the Blue Wolf Dao last time?" A common man stood in the middle, deliberately selling Guan Zi to the person standing next to him, but, obviously, the others were very fond of this.
Hearing this, Shang Linyue's interest was unconsciously raised, seeing that he didn't mean to continue, she didn't have much patience at all, so she waited for him to finish.
"If you don't talk about it, forget it, and we'll leave. A man in the crowd couldn't hold his breath and shouted to the people in the middle, and the people around him echoed him.
The people in the middle smiled embarrassedly and continued, "That's it, last time the elder called Meng Xuan in to accept him as an apprentice." ”
He paused again, but not for long. However, Meng Xuan did not agree to the elder's request to accept disciples, and he clearly refused. ”
Shang Linyue almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, Meng Xuan actually refused the acceptance of the Elder of the Blue Wolf Dao, this was too much, she secretly clenched her hands, but what he said was not necessarily correct.
"Is it credible for you to say this?" The man scratched his head and asked, and now, Shang Linyue's question was also said.
"Don't say the credibility of what I said, I've heard what I've said more or less here, when did I tell a lie?" the man in the middle smiled, and said ridiculously at the man's question.
As soon as these words came out, scattered people from the crowd next to him said, "Yes, what he said seems to be true, and I don't know where to get the news." ”
"But what if it's fake this time?" the man continued, still unwilling. "Then you can believe it or not, it's late, I'm leaving. As soon as the man in the middle left, the crowd around him dispersed.
Forget it, I'll go back and ask the others and I should know, I really am, wasting time here listening to these uncertain words. Shang Linyue sighed and prepared to go home.
As soon as I entered the house, the maid surrounded me, "Miss, I'm so worried that you've been out for so long." But it's great that you're back safely. ”
She looked at the smiling face of the maid and nodded. Then he asked, "Do you know anything else about Meng Xuan and Elder Blue Wolf Dao?" When I went out today, I heard someone say that the elder wanted to take him as an apprentice, but he refused. ”
"I don't know much about this matter, but I've heard someone talk about it lately, as if you've heard about it, Miss. The maid was a little puzzled why Miss had been concerned about Meng Xuan's affairs recently, but she still answered truthfully.
"Okay, I know now, I'm going to rest now, and I've already had dinner. Shang Linyue smiled, saw the maid nodding, and went to the room and put the things she bought in the house.
"Unexpectedly, Meng Xuan actually rejected the elder's acceptance of apprentices, which was too much. Shang Linyue walked around the room, muttering quietly with some anger in her tone.
