Chapter 127

Making him the focus in an instant.

This scene was truly somewhat sudden.

Making Meng Zhangqing slightly stunned.

However, he immediately came back to his senses and quickly cupped his hands.

"It is this disciple."

"You are very good, really very good; I am very much looking forward to your performance in the tournament."

The Sect Master looked him over seriously, then said with bright eyes.

As these words fell.

The hall was silent.

Except for the few Peak Masters, shock appeared on the faces of the remaining prodigy disciples.

Because the Sect Master had never praised a person like this!

And he had named him specifically!

In his words, he didn't even use 'the sect', but 'I'!

One had to know that even for a person like Senior Brother Han Luoyu, he had rarely received praise from the Sect Master.

Many people subconsciously looked at Han Luoyu.

They saw that Han Luoyu at this moment had the same expression.

Incredulous.

"Alright, you may withdraw; the Peak Masters, please stay for a while."

Withdrawing his gaze, the Sect Master said slowly.

Meng Zhangqing was also stunned.

From the beginning until now, he had been staying quietly, not saying a word.

How did the Sect Master suddenly start praising him?

Sensing the gazes around him—shocked, envious, or jealous—he truly felt like a tree standing out in the forest, standing at the center of the storm.

However, Meng Zhangqing didn't have any panicked emotions.

As the saying goes, confidence comes from strength.

The gazes of his peers alone could not cause him any pressure.

Even if this group attacked together, they would not be his opponents.

Thinking of this.

He smiled slightly.

He turned and walked outside.

Lan Chan hesitated for a moment and followed.

He knew that Meng Zhangqing had unique aspects.

That was his astonishing comprehension.

But just because of that, it wouldn't warrant such praise from the mysterious Sect Master, right?

Although he had comprehended sword momentum, everyone present basically had it.

He was not the only one confused.

Everyone else was the same.

One after another, they walked out of the great hall.

"Meng Zhangqing."

Han Luoyu came back to his senses.

His hands clenched slightly.

It was the first time he had heard this name, but it was also the first time it had made him feel somewhat uneasy.

As if there was something he was about to lose!

――

After the disciples left.

The hall doors closed.

In the great hall, only seven people remained.

The six Peak Masters and the Sect Master.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, long time no see."

The Sect Master said with a smile.

"It has indeed been a while."

Mo Shukuang said casually, "Although you came out last time, I was in seclusion, so I missed it."

"Observing your aura, you should have made great progress."

The Peak Master of Medicine King Peak was an old woman, her face kind and benevolent, giving a gentle feeling.

"Yes, the cultivation technique has broken through a layer."

The Sect Master nodded.

"There are many sect affairs; I don't have time to listen to you chatting here."

The Great Elder suddenly interrupted.

The few people immediately shut their mouths.

The Sect Master could only smile helplessly.

Then his expression became serious.

"According to the news from Thirteenth Junior Sister, the adjudicator for this tournament is someone from the Central Continent, and they have brought some things for Flame Sun Valley."

Hearing this.

The six people all frowned tightly.

"You mean, in this tournament, the strength of the Flame Sun Valley disciples will become even stronger?"

The Great Elder spoke.

"It is very likely."

The Sect Master said.

"Hmph, it's all the sin you created!"

Seeming to recall some past events, the Great Elder's face turned livid, and he wanted to leave with a flick of his sleeve, but he forcibly endured it and stood in place.

"It seems that our desire to be promoted to First Grade is going to become difficult again."

Shangguan Zhi stroked his long beard and sighed.

"Flame Sun Valley itself is used to curb our Taixuan Sect; otherwise, how could a newly promoted faction grow so fast?"

The Peak Master of the Array Peak was also a woman, but she looked relatively young; she might have taken some miraculous medicine like the Youth-Preserving Pill.

"The strongest disciple of Flame Sun Valley is that Innate Fire Body,"

Mo Shukuang thought for a moment and said, "Then I probably know what they will send."

As the words fell.

The few people were immediately lost in thought.

"If it really is that kind of thing, Han Luoyu will also lose!"

The Great Elder took a deep breath, "Xi Yingqing, I have said, before I die, I must see the sect promoted! This is also the long-cherished wish of the sect through the ages!"

"Second Senior Brother, don't be anxious."

Xi Yingqing said immediately, "Although that child Luoyu is strong, he is not the key this time."

"If not him, then who else?"

The Great Elder narrowed his eyes, "Is it that Meng Zhangqing you just mentioned?"

"Although his potential is great and he has great fortune, potential is only potential; he hasn't grown up yet."

"Sword momentum? Who doesn't have it?"

"I said before, if you want to cultivate, cultivate quickly; you insist on waiting, insist on testing!"

"Second Senior Brother, stop for a moment, let me say a word."

Xi Yingqing was somewhat helpless.

Second Senior Brother was just like this; once he started speaking, it was like a rushing river.

"Before, it might not have worked, but just now, I discovered something interesting on him."

Xi Yingqing said.

"What?"

Mo Shukuang asked.

After all, he was a person from his Lingxiao Peak.

"This."

Xi Yingqing raised the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers.

The scene in the hall changed instantly.

――

Outside the Sect Master's Great Hall.

Meng Zhangqing stood at the edge of the plaza.

Leaning against a giant rock.

His demeanor was leisurely.

Not far away were many prodigy disciples, looking at him from time to time.

Pointing and whispering.

Clearly, the Sect Master's words.

Made them very confused and indignant.

Why?

A prodigy who had just entered the Creation Realm, even if his comprehension was astonishing, it was impossible to receive such praise from the Sect Master!

Any one of them was definitely stronger than this person!

It was just that the sect rules were strict.

The Great Elder was still there.

They didn't dare to come up and cause trouble.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside him.

Meng Zhangqing looked sideways.

It was none other than Mo Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Mo Xiaoyu had moved a large rock and jumped onto it, looking at Meng Zhangqing at eye level.

"What are you doing?"

Meng Zhangqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Tell me, have you known the Sect Master for a long time?"

"Otherwise, why would the Sect Master praise you and not me?"

"I've already risen to fourth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

Mo Xiaoyu crossed her arms, somewhat angry.

"Heaven and earth as witness, today is my first time seeing the Sect Master."

Meng Zhangqing said with a smile.

"Really?"

Mo Xiaoyu was very suspicious.

Perhaps due to her upbringing, she had a very strong competitive spirit, always wanting to be the best and strive for first place.

She thought she had already surpassed Meng Zhangqing.

She hadn't expected to be overtaken again today!

Praise from the Sect Master!

She hadn't had that yet!

Damn it!

"Of course, I am a sincere person and never lie."

Meng Zhangqing spread his hands.

[Li]

"I don't believe it; you look like a big liar."

Mo Xiaoyu raised her little fists, "You'd better meet me in the tournament; I will definitely defeat you head-on and prove that I am truly stronger than you!"

"If we meet in the tournament, wouldn't that be fighting among ourselves and letting other factions benefit?"

Meng Zhangqing said.

"Uh... that seems to be the case, then let's compare who has a higher ranking!"

Mo Xiaoyu said.

"Sure, but we have to add a stake."

"What stake?"

"If my ranking is higher than yours, you have to agree to one request of mine."

"What request?"

"I love making friends all my life; you just need to agree to become my friend."

"Friend?"

Mo Xiaoyu was stunned, seemingly not expecting this kind of request.

"Fine, I agree, but if you are lower than me,"

Mo Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips, a mischievous feeling appearing on her cute little face, "You have to call me Senior Sister for the rest of your life and be my follower!"
