Chapter 243: Low Profile
After laughing happily, Zi Mad's face gradually became solemn again, and he said seriously to Zou Dui: "Good apprentice, the second elder teacher and apprentice look at you very badly, but I am afraid that at tomorrow's banquet, they will have to embarrass you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info You'd better not attend tomorrow......"
Purple Mania's worries are not unreasonable. Although Zou Dui broke through from the early stage of the fifth stage to the late stage of the fifth stage in just two months, such a speed against the sky directly broke the historical record of the Iron Sword Gate, but in fact, Zou Dui's cultivation of the fifth stage was the bottom among all the personal disciples of the upper elders.
As we all know, once the upper-level elders of the Iron Sword Sect gather with their disciples, they have to compare with each other and compete for face, and often let their own disciples compete with each other. With Zou Dui's cultivation of the fifth stage, he would suffer in the face of any other personal disciple, especially a top personal disciple like Hanwha, and the gap was even greater.
It's not that Purple Maniac doesn't have confidence in Zou Dui, but with such a gap in cultivation, it is very difficult for Zou Dui to win in the competition. As a result, Purple Maniac was naturally worried that Zou Dui would be frustrated in the competition, which would affect Zou Dui's enterprising confidence, which would be unfavorable to Zou Dui's future martial arts path.
Zou Dui was smart, and naturally knew the worries of the purple madness, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Master, I must attend tomorrow's banquet." If you are afraid and choose to retreat, this martial art should not be pursued. Without the courage to move forward, how can you overcome the difficulties and dangers above the martial arts in the future. ā
Zou Dui's words full of reason made the purple madness stunned, and then he couldn't help but praise: "Okay! What an indomitable courage! My purple mad disciple really can't be a shrinking turtle! Good apprentice, you just have to let go tomorrow, no matter what, I will be behind you!"
Zou Dui nodded and smiled, and said respectfully: "The disciple knows." ā
After that, after Zou Dui asked Zi Mad some questions, he returned to his courtyard.
Although he will attend a banquet to celebrate Hanwha's promotion to the eighth stage tomorrow, Zou Dui still follows his daily plan, and his heart is not wavering, what to do.
On the second day, when Zou Dui arrived at Tingfeng Xiaozhu on time, Zi Mad and Ziyu were both formal and wealthy, just waiting for his arrival.
When they saw Zou Dui, Zi Madness and Zi Yu's eyes were stunned, and their faces were slightly surprised.
Zou Dui noticed it and asked suspiciously, "Master, is there anything wrong?"
Zi Mad waved his hand again and again: "No, no, good apprentice, if you go to the banquet like this, you will only let others say that you are rude, and you will also lose my old man's face." ā
Zou Dui was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it turned out that Zi Madness and Zi Yu were dissatisfied with their dress.
After thinking about it, Zou Dui also found that something was wrong. Zou Dui himself didn't pay too much attention to his appearance and appearance, and no one took care of him after he came to the Iron Sword Gate, and the time was extremely tight these days, and he was all focused on cultivation, which was naturally even more serious.
By this time, his clothes, though clean, were extremely shabby and rustic, and besides, his lips had grown from his stubble, which looked unkempt, and his long hair was already long, but he had always simply tied a ponytail and tied it behind his head.
This kind of appearance makes him look like he doesn't want to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, vigorous young man at all, and he looks much more mature and rustic.
At this time, Zi Mad shouted loudly backwards: "Mother Dong, you take my disciple into the house, change his clothes and dress him up." ā
In the midst of the shouting, an old woman dressed in a steady dress walked out, and after saluting Zi Mad Mad , she said to Zou Dui, "Childe, please come with me." ā
Since it was the meaning of the purple madness, Zou Dui couldn't refuse, so he followed Dong's mother into the house.
Dong Ma and a group of subordinates moved very quickly, and after a while, Zou Dui was completely renewed. When Zou Dui walked out of the house again, Zi Mad and Zi Yu were stunned.
Especially Ziyu, her mouth opened slightly. The person in front of her and the Zou Dui she was familiar with before have almost changed, clearly a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, plus a well-fitting black thick robe, and the kind of mature and stable temperament that is rare for peers, which makes people's eyes shine more and more.
This contrast was too huge, and for a while, Ziyu was a little stunned. Zou Dui noticed Ziyu's gaze, couldn't help but smile proudly, flicked his sleeves, and posed: "Senior sister, handsome, right?"
These words made Ziyu react, and immediately turned red, and said fiercely: "Phew, shameless!" But he didn't dare to face Zou Dui's calm gaze for the time being, and turned his face away when he scolded, ignoring Zou Dui.
Zou Dui laughed, Ziyu's face flushed unabated, and she glared at Zou Dui hatefully. After becoming more and more familiar with Ziyu, there are more and more such little jokes, and Ziyu, who is often arrogant, is always deflated in front of Zou Dui.
At this time, the purple madness walked over, "haha" and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being my disciple of the purple madness, and it is really a talent! Let's go, let's go to the water valley." ā
After a little preparation, the three masters and apprentices finally set off.
"Hahaha...... Fifth and eighth, are you here?"
At the mouth of the valley in the water valley, the three of the Purple Maniac and the three apprentices met the other elders who had come to participate in the banquet, and the Purple Maniac immediately stepped forward to greet several elders who were close to him.
These elders also brought their own disciples to the banquet. At this time, when several elders were greeting each other, the disciples also became close to each other. Under Ziyu's introduction, Zou Dui met these personal disciples, and they all greeted them politely one by one.
Zou Dui is the personal disciple of the Great Elder, and he is a new face, and all the personal disciples have to look at him a few more times, and they all come up to say a few words.
However, after sensing that Zou Dui's aura was only stronger than Ziyu, and he was the weakest of all the disciples, his interest suddenly decreased a lot, although there were no sarcastic remarks, but after saying a few words to Zou Dui, he turned to others.
In contrast, Ziyu's popularity is much more vigorous than that of Zou Dui. She is lovely and delicate in appearance and figure, and she is the granddaughter of the Great Elder, and all the relatives and disciples are willing to get closer to her, consciously or unconsciously, and there are even faint favorites among them.
In this regard, Zou Dui didn't care, he naturally had to keep a low profile when he first arrived, and accumulate some capital to "pretend to be a pig", which was just enough to be clean and idle.
Gradually, more and more elders came from the valley of the water valley, and everyone simply did not enter the valley in advance, and continued to greet the valley at the mouth of the valley, and very tacitly planned to wait for the eight elders to come and enter the valley together.
"How many senior brothers came early?"
I don't know when, a Qingyue voice came, interrupting the conversation of the elders.
Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw a middle-aged female nun wearing a monk's hood, dressed in plain gray clothes, and holding a dust whisk walking over slowly. (To be continued.) )
