Chapter 931: Enemies Meeting Face to Face, Eyes Red with Jealousy
Wang Hai's killing intent was overflowing.
Chen Guanlou acted as a good person and whispered, "After today's scripture debate, the monk Jueneng is bound to become famous throughout the world and become one of the few eminent monks of the current age. If you want to kill him, even if the heavens agree, the palace won't. An eminent monk like him, and in the capital, will definitely become a royal offering. Brother Wang, don't be impulsive!"
Wang Hai was naturally unconvinced. "As long as he loses the scripture debate, he will just be an ordinary monk. Could it be that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen favors the monk and not the Pure Yang Zhenren?"
"That's hard to say. Pure Yang Zhenren is indifferent to fame and wealth, while the monk Jueneng is young and dares to fight. The two have different mentalities, and their fighting styles must be different. You also know that young people have drive and are easier to incite people's hearts." Chen Guanlou said so.
Wang Hai immediately frowned. "No, I have to go see Pure Yang Zhenren. Since he accepted the challenge of the scripture debate, how can he be indifferent to fame and wealth, put winning and losing aside, and let the monk succeed."
"I'm afraid it's useless! Pure Yang Zhenren has been famous for a long time, his beliefs are firm, how can you easily shake him. Besides, today's scripture debate has people from the palace watching, and many royal relatives have come. If you mess around, be careful that Eunuch Wei will slap you to death. Eunuch Wei values rules the most, have you forgotten?"
Wang Hai stopped, looking indignant.
Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to say again: "Even if the monk wins by luck, it doesn't matter. Try him another day, test the other party's background, and it won't be too late to make a decision."
"Why doesn't Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen go and test him?" Wang Hai suddenly came back to his senses.
Chen Guanlou had an open and honest look. "I don't care who is stronger than me and who is weaker than me."
Anyway, they don't live as long as he does!
"I am very open-minded. I don't have such a strong desire to win or lose like you. As long as I have money to take, wine to drink, and women to hold, that's enough! As for other things, have you ever seen me care?"
Wang Hai was speechless.
He had a very strong desire for fame and wealth, he was determined to climb up, and he was determined to step on everyone's feet on the high platform. He wanted to be promoted and get rich, and he wanted to have great power. If he couldn't be the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, he might as well die!
Being indifferent to fame and wealth, not caring about winning or losing, that's just talk, anyway he couldn't do it, and he couldn't think it through.
He stared at Chen Guanlou. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's state of mind and cultivation, this servant admires."
"Are you secretly calling me stupid?" Chen Guanlou asked back.
Wang Hai shook his head. "Absolutely not!"
Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, turned his head and said again: "Everyone has their own Dao. My Dao is eating, drinking, and having fun, indulging in enjoyment, not caring who is strong or weak, as long as you don't come to provoke me, everyone will be safe.
You have your Dao, as long as you find your own Dao, even if you are not understood by the world, not tolerated by the world, you must persist. History books are written by the victors. One day, if you succeed, your Dao will be the Great Dao and will be regarded as a standard by the world!"
Wang Hai was instantly stirred up by these words, his youthful blood was not cold, and he still had a bright red beating heart. Even if he was old, it was limited, far from the point of not showing his emotions.
Chen Guanlou saw this and patted the other party's shoulder. "I believe in you! In my life, Chen Guanlou, I dare not say anything else, but I am very accurate in seeing people. Anyone I favor will definitely have some achievements in the future. Back then, when Yu Zhaoan and Xie Changling were in the Heavenly Prison, I favored these two. Now you have seen their achievements."
Wang Hai was slightly excited, his face slightly flushed, adding a bit of color. If the noble ladies in the square saw this, Eunuch Wang Hai would probably not be able to walk out of the pile of women.
"Do you really favor this servant? Not coaxing me?"
"Do you need to be coaxed? Is there any benefit to coaxing you?" Chen Guanlou asked back.
Wang Hai pondered for a while. "I suppose so. I am now in a humble position and have no power. Even with the cultivation of the Ninth Rank, it is far inferior to you. You really have no reason to coax me. In that case, I should thank Brother Chen for favoring my future. One day, if I step on the high platform, I will definitely not forget Brother Chen's words today!"
"You will get what you want sooner or later."
"Thank you for your auspicious words!" Wang Hai bowed and said goodbye, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Guanlou went down the roof, showed his face, and was invited to take a seat.
A moment later, the seat next door also had someone.
Turning his head to look, oh, it was actually an old acquaintance, Master Qi.
He grinned. "Master Qi, nice to meet you! Haven't seen you for several years, Master's style is still the same, which is enviable."
Master Qi's eyes were like copper bells, looking him up and down. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, all is well."
That tone, indifferent at first hearing. If you ponder carefully, it clearly has a taste of gritting teeth.
Chen Guanlou heard this and immediately became smug. "Thanks to Master's blessing, I've been doing okay these years, with money and profit, and I even went to an early ancient tomb of the Great Yu, and gained some knowledge. By the way, your people from Jixia Academy also went to the ancient tomb, I wonder if there were any adventures? Let's find an opportunity to exchange with each other tomorrow, how about it?"
"This old man doesn't know any Great Yu ancient tomb. These years, this old man has been in seclusion and hasn't come out."
"Understood! Master has been in seclusion for several years, I think you have already understood the mystery of the martial path, and with a thought, you can be promoted to Grandmaster at any time. It's rare to meet today, I must congratulate Master in advance, the imperial court is about to have another Grandmaster, and the Great Qian country will be solid forever. Border rebels, Grandmaster makes a move, and they will turn into ashes in the blink of an eye."
Chen Guanlou's flattery was like it didn't cost money, and he said it as soon as he opened his mouth.
It's just that the person listening felt uncomfortable no matter how they listened.
It was flattery on the surface, but there was always a strong taste of sarcasm between the lines.
Master Qi's eyebrows raised, looking very difficult to mess with. I think from a young age, he was a master who didn't forgive people when he was reasonable. As he got older, his temper got bigger and his mind got smaller, and no matter how he looked at Chen Guanlou, he didn't like him.
It would be strange if he could look at him favorably.
Chen Guanlou didn't care about the other party's attitude at all, and talked about funny things on his own, and the people around him were amused. Because of Master Qi's face, everyone could only cover their mouths and laugh secretly, not daring to laugh out loud, for fear of being hated by Master Qi.
"Master, you are born rigid, can't you laugh?" Chen Guanlou didn't know how to look at the face at all at this moment, and asked whatever he saw.
Master Qi snorted coldly. "Boy, are you very proud?"
"What am I proud of. Today is not my turn to debate the scriptures, and I can't show off. Could it be that Master Qi wants to show off. First statement, I won't accompany you! Pure Yang Zhenren and the monk Jueneng, I have friendships with both of them, I can't ruin their big things. Master, I advise you not to steal the limelight, you will be struck by lightning!"
Master Qi was furious, his face was blue, his aura was fully open, and no one could get close. Within a radius of ten meters around him, everyone was shivering, uncomfortable all over, and their bodies seemed to be squeezed and deformed by invisible forces.
Everyone wanted to escape.
Only Chen Guanlou was smiling, unaffected, like a spring breeze turning into rain, invisibly resolving the other party's pressure. The people around felt the pressure disappear suddenly, and the whole person was extremely comfortable. ===== CHAPTER 932 =====
