Chapter 1106: Strong Arrival
Danfeng Garden, guest house.

"Master!"

When Si Wudao, Tang Xuan, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming filed out of Yun Zhuiyue's room, Li Haitang, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, could not help but show joy. He quickly spit out the willow branch in his mouth and trotted forward to greet them.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing Li Haitang's playful and unserious face, Tang Xuan frowned and urged in a deep voice: "Haitang, why don't you call someone?"

"Yes!" Li Haitang replied with a smile, and immediately bowed to Si Wudao, Shao Yuanqing, and Wuming, "Junior greets the three guardians!"

"Tang Xuan, you have accepted a good disciple."

Shao Yuanqing smiled jokingly, then turned and left with the absent-minded Si Wudao and Wuming.

"This junior respectfully sends off the three Dharma protectors..."

"okay!"

Tang Xuan was worried that Li Haitang's noise would disturb Yun Zhuiyue in the room, so he reached out and tapped his head gently, then pulled him aside and lectured him, "Your behavior is frivolous and your words are impetuous. How can you behave like that?"

Hearing this, the smile on Li Haitang's face gradually froze, and he apologized awkwardly: "Disciple knows his fault, Master, please calm down!"

"Hmph! Since you came to Central Plains, I can't keep an eye on you all the time, so you have become more and more unruly. If this continues, what will happen?" Tang Xuan said unhappily, "Master, let me ask you, did you practice today?"

"I will follow the master's orders and study and practice diligently every morning, noon and night, without slacking off for even a moment."

"If I find out that you are lazy and don't practice or don't practice diligently, I will punish you to face the wall for another season and reflect on your mistakes."

"I dare not! I dare not!" Thinking of the experience of being punished by Tang Xuan for not practicing diligently as a child, Li Haitang could not help but feel a chill on his back. "If Master does not believe me, I am willing to try my archery here. If I cannot hit the target every time I shoot, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"Where do you think you can hit the target every time you shoot? Isn't it because you practice hard day after day and year after year? Bows and arrows are not like swords and guns. There is no back and forth. When facing the enemy in battle, you often only have one chance to shoot. An arrow can be as short as dozens of steps or as long as hundreds of steps. A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of error. The slightest deviation will lead to death. Therefore, your understanding of archery must be far better than the proficiency of ordinary swordsmen and swordsmen in swordsmanship. Only by concentrating your mind and unifying your hands and eyes can you achieve the highest realm of arrows following your mind and hitting the target as soon as you think. However, the highest realm is by no means the end for you, but the starting point, because..."

"Because reaching the highest realm is not a skill, being able to maintain the highest realm is a skill." Before Tang Xuan finished speaking, Li Haitang had already told him the "teachings" that he had heard thousands of times and memorized by heart, "If you want to maintain your attainments, you must study hard and practice hard. There is a saying that if you waste one day, your mind will be uneasy, if you waste three days, your will will be unstable, if you waste ten days, your hands will be unstable, and if you waste a hundred days, your eyes will be unclear... Oh!"

Before Li Haitang, who was shaking his head, could finish his words, Tang Xuan hit him hard on the head again, causing him to wail in pain and tears to flow.

"Asshole! How dare you show off in front of your master?"

"How dare I? I just want Master to know that I have always kept your teachings in mind..."

"It's easy to know, but hard to do. What's the point of just remembering? The important thing is to put it into practice..."

"The disciples have been 'practicing'..."

"How dare you talk back?"

"I won't dare to do that! I won't dare to do that!" Seeing Tang Xuan raising his hand to hit him, Li Haitang quickly held up his arm, shamelessly admitted his mistake, and looked for an opportunity to change the subject, "Master, where did you go last night? Why did you come back only at dawn..."

"Shh!" Tang Xuan's eyes changed, and he quickly covered Li Haitang's mouth, angrily saying, "Stop talking nonsense, are you looking for death?"

"Master, I..."

"Put away your curiosity. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't say things you shouldn't say. Knowing too much will do you no good." Tang Xuan tightly grasped Li Haitang's wrist and warned her sternly, "Remember, don't mention what happened last night to anyone again, otherwise if the Holy Lord blames you, your master won't be able to protect you!"

"The four guardians have been gathered in the Saint's room for the entire morning. Is this related to what happened last night..."

"Ask more?"

"I'm not saying anything good, I just hope I can serve the Holy Lord like Master!"

"Don't be anxious. The Holy Lord will give each of you a chance to make contributions. When it's your turn, don't fail to live up to your responsibilities and embarrass me!"

"Master, rest assured, I will never bring disgrace upon your reputation..." As he spoke, the half-closed courtyard door was suddenly pushed open. Then, accompanied by Murong Bai, Deng Quan, Xu Heng, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai, Liu Xunyi strode into the courtyard.

"Brother Liu? Why are you…"

As soon as he said this, Li Haitang suddenly felt that something was wrong. Regardless of Liu Xunyi's expressionless face, Murong Bai and Deng Quan who followed behind him were all in a serious and alert state. Especially Liao Chuan and Liao Hai, their right hands subconsciously reached for the weapons at their waists, and they looked around at the Longxiangshan disciples in the courtyard with sinister eyes, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Who is so unruly?"

The sudden change caused Si Wudao, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming, who had not yet left, to turn back one after another, and then together with other dissatisfied disciples of Longxiang Mountain, they slowly approached the uninvited Liu Xunyi and his party.

After a while, the aggressive disciples of Longxiang Mountain surrounded the weak and isolated Liu Xunyi and his companions.

"I was wondering who had trespassed into the guest house of Longxiang Mountain. It turned out to be you..." At this point, Si Wudao paused and asked with embarrassment, "To this day, I wonder how we should address you? Lord Liu? Liu Zhishan? Young Master Liu? Young Hero Liu? Or... Young Master Liu?"

"None of them are correct!" Shao Yuanqing teased, "Now that he has acknowledged his ancestors, how can he still call himself 'Liu'? He should change his surname to 'Luo', otherwise how can he inherit the legacy of his father Luo Tianjin?"

"Ha ha……"

Shao Yuanqing's weird tone immediately caused the Longxiang Mountain disciples to burst into laughter.

Looking at Murong Bai, Deng Quan and the others, they were all furious when they saw Liu Xunyi being ridiculed in public. Their faces turned ashen and their eyes turned increasingly unfriendly towards the disciples of Longxiang Mountain.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you be so rude to my young master? Don't you see where you are?" Xu Heng glared at him and threatened him angrily, "Believe it or not, I will make sure you can't leave Danfeng Garden if I give you one shout!"

"Who do you think you are? Liu Xunyi hasn't said anything yet, so why should you yell?" An irritable disciple from Longxiang Mountain was not willing to be outdone and immediately retorted, "We were invited to Danfeng Garden by Xie Xuan, and you, a little-known minion, dare to threaten us with such brazenness? You'd better take a piss and reflect on your own behavior, so as not to embarrass yourself here."

"What the hell..."

"I am who I am. It doesn't matter what you call me." Liu Xunyi spoke before Xu Heng could start to curse. "For Ping'er's sake, I will just assume that what you said just now... is not malicious. Please everyone, please move aside. I want to talk to Yun Zhuiyue... "

Liu Xunyi's calmness in the face of praise or criticism, and his neither arrogance nor servility were enough to make the people in Longxiang Mountain dare not underestimate him. When they heard him mention "Ping'er", they looked at each other in surprise, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

"It's different when you find a backer. Not only do you behave domineeringly, but even your words... become so confident." Tang Xuan slowly pushed through the crowd, accompanied by the embarrassed Li Haitang, and leisurely came to Liu Xunyi, saying with a smile, "Chat? Haha, Liu Xunyi in the past didn't have such a big tone. Do you think that once Qingfeng dies... you can naturally take his place? You swaggered in without permission, and asked to "chat" with the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain. Let me ask... What qualifications do you have to name my Holy Lord? Why should the disciples of Longxiang Mountain make way for you?"

"Master..."

"It's not your turn to speak here!"

Before the worried Li Haitang could try to smooth things over, Tang Xuan, who sincerely wanted to give Liu Xunyi a "show of power", suddenly let out a thunderous roar, immediately interrupting his voice.

"Hmph! A declining force, a group of decadent people, living under someone else's roof, what qualifications do you have to talk about? If this matter is made public, aren't you afraid that people all over the world will laugh their heads off?" Murong Bai stared at Tang Xuan without blinking, with a sneer of contempt on his lips, "You ask my young master what he relies on? Let me tell you! Just because he is the owner of the Xianwang Mansion, is he qualified enough to sit on an equal footing with your Holy Lord?"

"He is the owner of the Xianwang Mansion? When did it happen? How come we don't know? Isn't Xie Xuan the owner of the Xianwang Mansion?" Shao Yuanqing pretended to be surprised and instigated, "After Luo Tianjin's death, Xie Xuan has been a 'puppet owner' in name only. After going through untold hardships, he finally got rid of Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao's control. Before he could be happy, now a 'young master' has appeared to snatch power from him. I don't believe that he is really willing to vomit out what he has already eaten."

"you……"

"Don't worry about the affairs of the Xianwang Mansion." Liu Xunyi's reaction was still calm, his attitude was still neither happy nor sad, his tone was still as calm as water, and his words were still concise and to the point. "If you don't want to let me in... well! Tell Yun Zhuiyue to come out, I'll wait for him here."

Liu Xunyi's almost naive request once again made the disciples of Longxiang Mountain burst into laughter.

"Liu Xunyi, you ignored the scorching sun, your injuries, and the complicated situation, and insisted on having a 'chat' with our Holy Lord. I am very curious, what exactly do you want to talk to the Holy Lord about?"

However, in the face of Si Wudao's temptation, Liu Xunyi turned a deaf ear and said nothing.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but if you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid not only will you not be able to see the Holy Lord today, but... it won't be easy to end this." Si Wudao looked around at the Longxiang Mountain disciples who were eyeing him covetously, and shrugged helplessly with a smile, "After all, you have to have dignity even if you live under someone else's roof, and you can't just barge in and order people around like this. Yesterday, the Holy Lord turned against Qingfeng in public to save you, and he risked the future of Longxiang Mountain to help you through the difficulties. Today, you who should have been punished and put to death have gained power, and the Xianwang Mansion, which should have been on the decline, has also made a comeback. You have all regained your lost dignity, so shouldn't you also give our Longxiang Mountain and my Holy Lord... the dignity they deserve?"
