Satirizing Qi Hao

"Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, disciples of Cang Song Zhenren of Dragon Head Peak, pay respects to Martial Uncle Tian and Martial Aunt Su."

Inside Shou Jing Hall, Tian Buyi and Su Ru sat in the seats of honor. Jiang Ming and Song Daren, who had just arrived, were seated beside them in order. In the hall, two people in white robes were paying their respects to Tian Buyi. Seeing this, Jiang Ming understood that one was Zhang Xiaofan's childhood friend, Lin Jingyu, and the other was Qi Hao, who had tricked Tian Ling'er.

To be honest, he was very displeased with Qi Hao. A man nearly a hundred years old was giving gifts and professing his love to a girl in her teens. It was utterly disgusting. Even Qingyun Sect's founder, Qing Ye, only lived to be about seven hundred and fifty years old with his cultivation, not to mention Qi Hao. Qi Hao would probably only reach Shangqing at best, and reaching Taiqing was likely impossible. He might not even reach Tian Buyi's level, with a lifespan of only four or five hundred years at most.

And Tian Ling'er was only a teenager, with at least four or five hundred years to live with Tian Buyi and the others around. Qi Hao spent years following Cang Song, handling affairs, and had been alive for over a hundred years. He often went down the mountain to train, so he was definitely a shrewd person, not a naive one. Jiang Ming didn't believe he hadn't seen women more beautiful than Tian Ling'er. There were plenty of beauties on Xiao Zhu Peak, and there was also Lu Xueqi, so why didn't he give them gifts and express his love? Wasn't it because he couldn't handle them? Unlike Tian Ling'er, the little white rabbit.

Jiang Ming didn't believe that Qi Hao fell in love with Tian Ling'er at first sight. Tian Ling'er hadn't even met him before he came to Da Zhu Peak, which meant they hadn't met directly. Perhaps he had learned about Tian Ling'er from somewhere else. After meeting Tian Ling'er, he nonchalantly gave her the Cooling Pearl as a gift, which was extremely insidious.

In the end, wasn't it because he had his eye on Da Zhu Peak's Tian Buyi's high cultivation and status as a peak leader? Moreover, he didn't have any accomplished disciples at the moment. Su Ru was also Martial Aunt Shui Yue of Xiao Zhu Peak's junior sister. With Su Ru around, how could the relationship with Xiao Zhu Peak be bad? With the support of these two, the position of Dragon Head Peak's leader was practically guaranteed. Jiang Ming thought that he might have other plans as well.

Just as Jiang Ming was pondering, Zhang Xiaofan was very happy to see that the visitor was his childhood friend Lin Jingyu, and the two exchanged glances.

Tian Buyi's mood was naturally not good when he saw that they were from Dragon Head Peak, but when he heard the visitor announce his name, he realized that the slightly smaller one was the orphan from Cao Miao Village who had been with Zhang Xiaofan back then, and who Cang Song had shamelessly snatched away as a disciple. Seeing that three years had passed, that boy could already control a sword.

Thinking of this, Tian Buyi subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiaofan and Song Daren and the others. Comparing them, Tian Buyi's mood worsened. If it weren't for Jiang Ming, few of his unaccomplished disciples would be comparable to Lin Jingyu. He then coldly said to Qi Hao, "What did your master Cang Song send you here to do?"

Qi Hao cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Martial Uncle Tian, my master Cang Song Zhenren, entrusted by Headmaster Dao Xuan Zhenren, is in charge of handling all matters related to the 'Seven Peaks Tournament' in two years. Because there are some changes, I was specifically ordered to come and inform you with Junior Brother Lin."

Tian Buyi subconsciously snorted and sized up Lin Jingyu, saying, "He's deliberately trying to show off to me, isn't he!"

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu's expressions changed drastically. The impatient Lin Jingyu wanted to say something, but Qi Hao held him back and said with a smile, "Martial Uncle Tian is joking. We are all under the Qingyun Sect, and Martial Uncle Tian is highly respected. My master has no disrespect whatsoever."

Seeing that Tian Buyi's expression was not good, Su Ru said to avoid embarrassment, "You don't have to mind it, your Martial Uncle Tian is joking with you. By the way, what did you say was changing? What's going on?"

Qi Hao respectfully replied, "Reporting to Martial Aunt Su, the matter is like this. In previous years' 'Seven Peaks Tournament', each peak of the Qingyun Sect sent four people, and Tongtian Peak, as the head branch, sent four more, making a total of thirty-two. They would draw lots to compete, and the winners would advance. After five rounds, the final winner would be the leader of the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect and would be carefully cultivated by the masters."

"But this time, after my master discussed with Headmaster Zhenren, some changes have been made to the rules. I was specifically ordered to inform the two martial uncles."

Tian Buyi and Su Ru's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Qi Hao heard this and replied, "My master Cang Song Zhenren believes that the original intention of the 'Seven Peaks Tournament' was to discover talented disciples from each peak and cultivate them. And the Qingyun Sect today has nearly a thousand disciples, among whom there are many new disciples of the younger generation, many of whom are outstanding in talent. Thinking about this, the opportunity that only comes once every sixty years, with each peak sending only four people, is really too few. Therefore, my master suggested that each of the seven peaks send nine disciples, making a total of sixty-four people. On this basis, as always, they will draw lots to compete and go through six rounds to determine the winner. This will also avoid the regret of missing any hidden gems."

Hearing this, Tian Buyi and Su Ru exchanged glances and immediately understood Cang Song's intention. Cang Song knew that Da Zhu Peak had always had a small number of people and not many accomplished disciples. The only accomplished one, Jiang Ming, was still being hidden by him. Therefore, in essence, it was still most beneficial to Tongtian Peak and Cang Song's Dragon Head Peak.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi was very annoyed. Cang Song had always been against him. If it weren't for Jiang Ming, he would have lost face again in this Seven Peaks Tournament. He then looked at Su Ru, and after looking at each other, they both looked at Jiang Ming. They already had a plan in mind, but Tian Buyi still coldly said on the surface, "Very good, I have no objections."

Seeing this, Qi Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tian Buyi, "Then thank you, Martial Uncle Tian. In addition, before leaving, my master instructed me that my junior brother Lin and a Zhang martial brother under Martial Uncle Tian are old friends, and I hope Martial Uncle Tian will allow them to catch up."

Seeing this, Tian Buyi once again affirmed that Cang Song had Lin Jingyu come this time to anger him. He knew that Zhang Xiaofan was definitely not as good as Lin Jingyu, and he still said this. On the surface, it was kind, but in reality, it was to打击讽刺himself. Thinking of this, Tian Buyi couldn't help but get angry and coldly said to the two of them, "Granted, do as you please!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ming, who was sitting below, became even more disgusted with Cang Song. Except for Lin Jingyu, no one from Dragon Head Peak was not annoying to him. They were all so shameless. No wonder Tian Buyi wanted him to win against Cang Song in the Seven Peaks Tournament.

Jiang Ming saw that Zhang Xiaofan had obtained Tian Buyi's permission and had gone outside with Lin Jingyu to catch up. The remaining Qi Hao's eyes rolled slightly as he sized up Song Daren and the others.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming knew what Qi Hao wanted to do, so he looked at Qi Hao and said, "This must be the esteemed disciple of Dragon Head Peak's Martial Uncle Cang Song, Qi Hao, right?"

Hearing this, Qi Hao immediately returned the greeting and said, "That's right, it's me. I presume you are Martial Uncle Tian's seventh disciple, Jiang Ming."

Seeing this, Jiang Ming said with a wicked smile, "I heard that Senior Brother Qi Hao already won second place in the Seven Peaks Tournament sixty years ago, only slightly losing to Senior Brother Xiao Yicai of the head branch. You are truly exceptionally skilled!"

Seeing Jiang Ming like this, Qi Hao didn't understand that Jiang Ming had no good intentions, but Jiang Ming's words were all true, and there were no lies. He had no choice but to agree and say, "Not at all, Senior Brother Xiao's cultivation is profound, and I lost willingly."

Jiang Ming once again loudly said to Qi Hao, "Hey, Senior Brother Qi Hao has only been a disciple for a hundred years and is already so powerful. My junior brother Xiaofan, and junior sister Ling'er have only been cultivating for a few years, and even now it's only been ten or twenty years. We are far from Senior Brother Qi's hundred years of cultivation. Master and Mistress have always wanted the three of us to learn from Senior Brother Qi and ask for advice. I want to ask Senior Brother Qi if there are any methods to your hundred years of cultivation experience. After all, senior brother, you are knowledgeable? You've eaten more salt than we've eaten rice."

"Puchi..." Tian Ling'er finally couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Su Ru, although she didn't understand what Jiang Ming meant, she had a general idea, so she pulled Tian Ling'er and whispered, "Ling'er, don't be rude!"
