Crossing the Sword

The three people who came to participate in the competition from Youxiong Country were Hou Yi, Feng Si and Ye Shisan's opponent tomorrow, Ying Chao. After seeing this lineup, Ye Shisan was secretly glad that the competition was an individual competition, not a team competition. Otherwise, relying on Jingwei and Meng Lei, he really had no confidence to compete with this group.

Seeing several people coming, Ye Shisan hurriedly stood up and said: "It turns out to be Brother Houyi, Brother Ying and Brother Feng. You all come here together, you don't want to threaten me to give up tomorrow's game, right?" His last sentence was of course a joke. Everyone who came to the competition was very conceited, and Jue Shi would not do such a thing.

Ying Chao laughed and said, "Brother Ye is really good at joking. There are so many of you here. If you want to threaten someone, you should threaten us. But our luck doesn't seem to be very good. Our opponents are all powerful guys, like you." Feng Si on the side also said, "It's okay for me to lose, but Yi, oh, when Hou Yi came, he was expected to be a master who could at least make it to the semi-finals, but he was eliminated by you in the first game. But now I have a family, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Ye Shisan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am now basically certain that you are not here to threaten me, but to bring charges against me."

Houyi also smiled and said, "I dare not. But if Ying Chao is defeated by you tomorrow, we will be completely wiped out. So while I am still happy, I come here to make friends with you, and also to test your strength." He was being frank, but Ye Shisan thought he was quite straightforward.

At this time, Ling Fei, who had the highest skill, suddenly said, "What day is today? If I had known earlier, another guest would have arrived."

As he said, two more guests came. They turned out to be Yifeng from Dongyi State and the blue-dressed woman who had clashed with Jingwei on the street before. Later, when he looked at the competition schedule, Zhang Tianya learned her name. Although she was not very gentle, her name was very cute, Lan Ling.

As soon as the two entered the room, they immediately bowed respectfully to Ye Shisan. Yifeng said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for not holding a grudge and helping brother Kwaleng find the real murderer. We have come to apologize to Mr. Ye for our previous disrespect!" As he said this, he was about to kneel down to pay his respects.

Ye Shisan hurriedly helped the two of them up and said, "I was also entrusted by the Green Emperor, so you two don't have to do this."

After being helped up by Ye Shisan, Yifeng spoke again, "We have been unable to calm down these past two days because of Brother Kwa Leng's matter. Tomorrow, Lan'er will compete with Princess Baiyu, and we had planned to go out for a picnic to relax. If Master Ye doesn't mind, let's go together. Proper relaxation will also be beneficial for tomorrow's competition."

Ye Shisan thought about it for a moment and thought that this was a good idea, so he proposed to several people: "This suggestion is really good. Why don't we all go together? Brother Ying and I can also test each other's strengths and weaknesses. We can kill two birds with one stone. How about it?" Everyone agreed and set off out of the city.

Along the way, Ye Shisan was besieged by the two women and had no choice but to finish telling the story of the empty city plan.

As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at their destination, a lake. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom. From a distance, it looked like jade, which was very beautiful. When they got closer, they found that the jade at the bottom of the lake was mostly sand and stone. The jade light shone through the water, which made it look so beautiful. However, it was rare that the jade in this lake was kept and no one took it away.

Ling Fei was very excited at this time, and he started to introduce it to everyone: "This is the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. I practiced my Five Elements Yuan Gong here, but it's a pity that it doesn't have a name yet. I remember that on the day when I completed my training, my master promised to let me name this lake to congratulate me on my success. Unfortunately, I really don't have much training in this area, and I still can't think of a name that matches it. Since Shisan is here today, why don't you help me think of a name?" Hearing that Ye Shisan agreed to continue the investigation, Ling Fei's spirit finally recovered. Because he believed that Zhuanmeng must be the murderer, and as long as Ye Shisan was willing to continue the investigation, he would definitely find the real murderer and clear Zhuanmeng's name.

Seeing that Ling Fei had fallen in love with Yao Ji and wanted to help him, Ye Shisan immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it. This is just your privilege. How can I show off?" Without waiting for Ling Fei to speak, he continued, "Actually, naming is not difficult. In my hometown, many people like to name good things after girls who they think are more beautiful. For example, there is a palace called Afang Palace." After saying that, he winked at Ling Fei and looked at Yao Ji again.

Ling Fei understood immediately and laughed, "Thirteen's attention is good. I just met the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life a few days ago." After that, he looked at Yao Ji with deep affection and said with a smile, "Then, let's call this equally beautiful lake Yaochi."

Ye Shisan was shocked again after hearing this. It turned out that Yaochi was actually created in this way. Now thinking back, from Houyi to Yaochi, how come many legends about this era that he knew were now related to him?

Yao Ji blushed with shame when she heard this, and thanked Ling Fei in a voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz, which caused everyone to laugh. After laughing, Yi Feng ran to the lake, took out a water bag and filled it with lake water, stood up and took a big sip and said: "The water in Yaochi is really sweet, everyone come and taste it!" Seeing his performance, Ye Shisan frowned, as if he thought of something, but he couldn't catch the fleeting inspiration.

After hearing this, everyone gathered around to drink water, except Ye Shisan, who frowned, as if thinking about something.

At this time, a woman's footsteps came to Ye Shisan's side. Turning around, it turned out to be the unruly Lan Ling. Ye Shisan thought she was just passing by and didn't pay much attention. But unexpectedly, Lan Ling actually sat down next to him. Ye Shisan secretly cried out in his heart: What? You are not going to thank me for solving the case by marrying me? No, no, really no. If you come over again, I will scream!

After Lan Ling sat down, she looked at the emerald green lake in front of her with melancholy, and said in a sad tone: "Mr. Ye, do you know? When you are in deep thought, you are very much like a person." Ye Shisan originally wanted to get up and leave, but seeing her dazed expression, he couldn't bear it.

With a faint smile, she asked casually, "Are you talking about Kwaleng?" Ye Shisan remembered that Kwaleng seemed to be very close to her.

Unexpectedly, Lan Ling shook her head and said, "It's not him, it's Yi Yu."

"Yi Yu?" Ye Shisan thought for a moment and confirmed that he had never heard of this name.
