Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 105 Ranking and Voting
An angry shout.

It attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

Lu Shenyou was very satisfied with the result.

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and recited aloud the poem that Liu Yuanqing had written for him: "The Lu family's talents are brilliant, their spirit is benevolent and compassionate, bringing peace and prosperity to the times. They are determined to protect the people and bring peace to the world, and they sing a song to praise the pillars of the nation."

After reciting it, he looked down at the crowd below.

The Lu family protector, who was pretending not to recognize him, loudly flattered him, "Oh my, are you perhaps the legendary handsome young man, Lu Shenyou?"

“That’s right, I am the legendary Lu Shenyou.” Lu Shenyou immediately replied.

"My God! It's actually the famous Jade-Faced Gentleman Lu Shenyou!" At this moment, hidden in the crowd below was a protector of the Lu family, who was pretending to be a passerby and exclaiming loudly.

Lu Shenyou waved his hand and said at the top of his lungs, "What's the point of talking about being famous? It's just a mere empty reputation. You flatter me."

Yu Xuanchen watched this clumsy back-and-forth, feeling as if he had been petrified.

She opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her vocabulary was not quite enough.

As for Meng Bai, he crossed his arms and continued watching Lu Shenyou's performance with great interest.

Lu Shenyou did not disappoint him. After putting on a show, he pointed at Meng Bai and scolded him: "Meng Bai, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you forcibly abduct a woman in the street?"

"Do you really think no one in this world can deal with you? Release that woman immediately, or my precious sword, that of the Jade-Faced Gentleman Lu Shenyou, will not let you off easily."

"Good!" Several Lu family protectors immediately clapped their hands, as they were about to offer a few more words of praise.

Then a man in black was seen sitting gracefully on the eaves of the tall building opposite, holding a gourd in his hand and taking a sip.

He laughed loudly, "Good, Brother Shenyou is absolutely right. Everyone has the right to kill that scoundrel Meng Bai. I, Yu Changluo, the Northern Sword King, will join Brother Shenyou in killing this scoundrel today."

Before Meng Bai could even react, Lu Shenyou objected.

He glared at Yu Changluo, feeling that this guy was really an eyesore. He was doing just fine showing off here, so where did you come from?

The Northern Sword King?
Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?

Lu Shenyou was about to hurl a few curses at him.

Then another woman appeared, standing on another rooftop. She laughed loudly, "Since the Northern Blade King and the Jade-Faced Gentleman are both here, then I, Xiao Yu, the Sword God of Qingyang, have no choice but to show myself."

Xiao Yu is quite a remarkable person.

Before climbing onto the roof, she made sure to slip a generous amount of money to the thugs below. Therefore, as soon as her name was announced, a chorus of sycophantic laughter erupted from below:

"What! It's actually Xiao Yu, the female sword goddess of Qingyang! She is indeed graceful and heroic. I can die without regrets after seeing the face of the sword goddess today."

"There's hope! There's hope now!"

"Heaven has eyes! The Goddess of the Azure Sun has come to uphold justice for us poor people."

Good heavens, listening to the back-and-forth chatter below, Lu Shenyou and Yu Changlu were almost driven mad with anger.

This shrew gave herself the nickname "Qingyang Sword God" in Qingyang Prefecture?
You're absolutely shameless!
Especially for Lu Shenyou, seeing the Northern Blade King on the left and the Azure Sun Sword God on the right, his own image as a handsome young man instantly seemed to lose a lot of value.

Meng Bai below was speechless and laughed.

Those bastards are all so pretentious.

I thought the title I gave Su Xintang, "Azure Lotus Sword Immortal," was impressive enough.

It seems there's no chance of it ever emerging.

Only three people have emerged, yet their nicknames have already reached the level of "Qingyang Sword God".

Of the thousands of Celestial Spirits, aside from the protectors who came in as cannon fodder, there are at least a couple hundred who are planning to give themselves nicknames. At the rate they're going to keep coming up with nicknames, they might just end up with "Cosmic Celestial Venerable."

Plans have changed, and some things have to be done in reverse.

You like giving nicknames, don't you?

Okay, I'll be the referee for you.

Anyway, you won't be able to see your ranking on the imperial edict.

I'm going to set an example for you all; if I don't lead you astray, I'm not a member of the Meng family.

Thinking of this, Meng Bai deliberately cupped his hands and said loudly, "So it is the Qingyang Sword God, ranked second in Qingyang Prefecture, and the Northern Blade King, ranked thirty-seventh, in person. I am honored to meet you two."

"What, ranked second?" Yu Changluo immediately retorted.

Why is Xiao Yu second while I'm only thirty-seventh? Where the hell did this ranking come from?

Could it be that by sheer luck, there really is a Qingyang Sword God and a Northern Blade King?
"I've seen your names on the 'Hundred Heroes Ranking.' The ranking records that the Sword God is the second-ranked expert of my Qingyang Prefecture, one of the Seven Greats." He finished speaking.

All the celestial beings present fell into deep thought.

The Hundred Heroes Ranking?
One of the Seven Quatrains?

Could it be that this "List of One Hundred Heroes" is another form of the "Precious Proclamation"?
It's possible. Otherwise, wouldn't Meng Bai have mentioned that one of the Seven Wonders is one of the seven positions for accompanying the emperor?

This person surnamed Meng is a dead soul, and the Dream Realm has just begun. Surely he wouldn't lie?
Just as they were pondering, Meng Bai looked at Lu Shenyou and a man holding two swords beside him. He said loudly, "Brother with two swords, could you be Wu Sheng, the Twin Swords Tyrant?"

"You know me?" Wu Sheng asked in surprise.

To be precise, his name should be Lu Wusheng. He is a protector who was given the surname by the Lu family. Meng Bai saw him at the Lu family last time.

"I've seen your portrait in the 'Hundred Heroes Ranking,' where you're ranked thirteenth," Meng Bai said with a loud laugh, then politely clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Good heavens, this action made all the Heavenly Spirits present light up.

Meng Bai even recognized the protector of the Lu family, so there probably really is a "Hundred Heroes List," and this "Hundred Heroes List" is probably closely related to the position of attendant priest.

Lu Shenyou also realized this. Now that even his own protector was on the list, he was eager to know where he ranked.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "What about me?"

"You?" Meng Bai deliberately glanced at him sideways and asked, "I forgot to ask, what is your honorable name?"

“?” Lu Shenyou.

"??" the others.

"Brother Meng, this is my young master Lu Shenyou. You must recognize him." Lu Wusheng hurriedly introduced him, but he had changed his address for Meng Bai from "thief" to "brother".

To be honest, Lu Wusheng was overjoyed. He was ranked thirteenth. With a little effort, he could be in the top seven.
Once you reach the first seven, you will be a supporting officiant.

Who would want to be this damn protector? What Lu Wusheng? From now on, I'll just be called Wusheng. As for the surname Lu, let whoever wants it take it.

Lu Shenyou was not paying attention to Wu Sheng's changes at this time.

He just stared intently at Meng Bai, hoping to hear a good ranking from Meng Bai.

such a pity.

Will Meng Bai be able to grant his wish?
Meng Bai pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Divine Lu..."

“Lu Shenyou!” Lu Shenyou corrected through gritted teeth.

"What do you mean, 'Don't eat'? I've never heard of Lu Shenjing or Lu Shenyou, nor have I seen them recorded in the 'Hundred Heroes List'." After saying this, Meng Bai asked the people around him, "Have you heard of them?"

"No, there's no such person in Qingyang Prefecture," Meng Bai's bodyguard immediately chimed in.

"Pfft~~" Yu Xuanchen instantly deflated, biting her lip and lowering her head, her shoulders trembling as she suppressed her laughter.

Su Xintang, who was secretly watching from a distance, was almost laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

"You brat, I think you're talking nonsense and spouting rubbish!" Lu Shenyou had completely lost his mind. He drew his sword and took a step to jump off the building.

Fortunately, the protector beside him quickly stopped him.

Lu Shenyou is now just an ordinary person with only average martial arts skills. If he were to jump from the second floor, who knows if he would get seriously injured?

This scene amused Xiao Yu, who was on the rooftop.

She smiled and asked Meng Bai, "Brother Meng, may I ask if you have this 'Hundred Heroes Ranking'? Would you be so kind as to lend it to me for a look?"

"The 'Hundred Heroes Ranking' is right outside the South Gate. It's not mine. Haven't you seen it?" Meng Bai asked, looking puzzled.

"Outside the South Gate?" The streets immediately erupted in commotion.

A group of celestial beings who had been observing from within the crowd all ran towards the south gate of the city.

Even Yu Xuanchen was curious and asked in a low voice, "Is there really a 'Hundred Heroes Ranking' outside the South Gate?"

"No, I was just kidding, but it'll be here soon. Come on, let's go home." Meng Bai chuckled, waiting for the group of people to come and visit him.

The onlookers, seeing that the so-called "heroes" who had just been shouting for Meng Bai to be killed and demanding justice were now in shock, were shocked to see that Meng Bai was actually a "hero."

In just a few words, they all changed their address, calling him "Brother Meng" repeatedly, which made me feel incredibly annoyed.

What kind of bullshit hero are you?
I bother!

They're all the same kind of cowards who only bully the weak and fear the strong.
