I am a living immortal.

There aren't many pure wuxia warriors like Chen Tao, and this chivalrous spirit is rare. He considers gains and losses, but sometimes he doesn't dwell on them too much. He acts according to his heart, which gives him a sense of freedom.

For this martial arts competition, what mattered most to him was the exchange and exchange of ideas, not the ultimate rewards or ranking. Of course, getting a good ranking and access to the Sutra Library would be the best. He wasn't without desires, nor was he foolish.

However, speaking of the Sutra Library, the martial arts of this world are not something that can be trained into a peerless master by simply picking up a secret manual. In fact, the martial arts and the immortal path are somewhat similar, and they are both constantly moving forward.

It's not a grave digging trend.

Find a peerless martial arts book and practice it. Even if you master it, you won't become a peerless master. Without your own insights and thoughts, those who imitate me will live, and those who imitate me will die. This saying also applies to martial arts.

You can learn from others, but you absolutely cannot follow my path. Without your own unique approach, your path will eventually come to an end. If you are trapped in an "outdated" magical skill, you too will become outdated.

Therefore, the attraction of the Sutra Library is still very strong for this group of wanderers.

Jiading Prefecture hasn't been this lively for a long time.

The prefect discussed the process with several major families. As for what the final result would look like, that would depend on the opinion of the distinguished "guest".

You know, the armored guards didn't leave after the Zheng family announced the imperial decree, which was enough to show the noble status of the person. Moreover, the expansion of the Third Yamen had always been presided over by the Crown Prince, so many people had already guessed who would come.

He is the most honorable person in the entire Dayu after the emperor, and perhaps he will become the most honorable one in a short time.

There were many people who wanted to please the other party, so good luck fell on Jiading. This was not just good luck, but also involved the game of multiple groups and the ending of the Zheng family incident.

Give a date after a stick, it's simple and easy to use.

Speaking of this, the prefect of Jiading Prefecture also wanted to thank the person who started it. However, up to now, he has never seen the rumored hermit master.

It's a bit of a pity.

The waiting period wasn't without its share of hiccups. With so many jianghu, the situation inevitably became less secure. A small commotion today, a major one tomorrow. Enemies, seeing each other, were brimming with jealousy, ready to attack at the slightest sign of trouble, often in droves.

The old goat has not left the yard these days.

Chen Tao would come every once in a while and tell him what was happening outside, mostly trivial matters.

But today was a little different. Chen Tao hurried to the courtyard.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are your enemies here to kill you?"

The old goat still had that indifferent expression on his face. I don't know where he got a tank of fish from. Every day he ate grass, fed the fish, ate grass, fed the fish, and ate fish. He was very idle.

"You are right, but it's not my revenge, it's yours." Seeing the old goat's indifferent expression, Chen Tao suddenly calmed down and had no time to argue with him.

"Mine? What enemies do I have?"

The earth? After all, the old goat has eaten a lot of land.

“Those ones!”

"Oh~" the old goat nodded.

"That's not right. Even if there's a grudge, you don't have to come knocking on my door, right?"

"Huh? You don't know? It wasn't you who did it?" Chen Tao stared at the old goat suspiciously, as if trying to find a flaw in his calm expression, but there was none.

"What should I know?"

"Who did that? I mentioned it last time. You should have killed them to prevent any more trouble. Now they're gone, completely, without a trace. It's like they've evaporated from the face of the earth. I thought it was you."

"So, you all thought I did it, and then you came here to seek revenge?" The old goat looked disgusted.

"Don't you have any brains?"

"You still have some brains. Regardless of whether you did it or not, the blame is directed at you, so you can't escape this vengeance. If you had known earlier, you should have killed them all. At first, I thought it was a self-directed drama, but judging by their emotions, I don't think so. Have you offended anyone recently?"

"I don't even step out of the door, who would I offend?"

"Yeah, then who set this up to harm you?"

"Are you rebelling? Do you think I'm easy to bully, or do you think I will lose to the people they invited? Please." The old goat really looked at Chen Tao like a fool.

"I think we should have less contact in the future. I feel like I'm going to be infected by your stupid brain."

"Damn! Someone is setting up a scheme to use you to get rid of those people from the aristocratic families?" Chen Tao finally reacted. He had almost forgotten that the man in front of him was a peerless master, but he had a bit of a sharp tongue.

"Please, I'm risking my life to inform you!" Chen Tao looked at the old goat, wondering if he was so heartless.

"The result will be the same whether you come or not. Although I wasn't the one plotting against you, I'm still very unhappy. I'll beat to death anyone who comes today." The old goat said the terrible words calmly.

But Chen Tao couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this. That murderous intent was colder than the freezing wind and snow, even in summer. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the scenery in the courtyard seemed to have changed.

He could see that the old goat wasn't angry, just indifferent to life. If you didn't provoke him, it would be fine. If you did, then what awaited you would definitely be a horrific nightmare.

"Come back to your senses!" The old goat swayed in front of Chen Tao.

Chen Tao was so scared that he took a step back.

"Look at your guts. I asked you who came to make you so flustered."

"Oh! That's right! It's a Grandmaster, Zhao Lei, the Rain Flower Sword, a master of swordsmanship. His sword strikes are as fast as falling rain, hence the name Rain Flower Sword. He was also invited by those declining families, and he was the first Grandmaster to respond. I don't know what price those declining families paid, but maybe they just wanted to be in the spotlight, so they came to visit."

"A visit? Are you here to test me?" The old goat laughed.

"That's true. Although Zhao Lei values ​​his reputation, the sword in his hand is really fast and he is not an opponent to be underestimated. So I came here to remind you, should you avoid it or..."

"Why should I avoid them? Besides, if they dare to release the news, it means they have already found out everything. I'm afraid I can't avoid them even if I want to. Since you're here, let's meet them."

"What's more, you are a master of swordsmanship?" The old goat smiled.

"Who isn't?"
