Chapter 90: The Thought of Crossing the Threshold
There was light rain in the sky.
The drizzle was so light that it couldn't even get wet for people's clothes, but there were still many people holding umbrellas on the streets of the capital.
He Zhengrong walked silently on the long street of the outer city, looking at the practitioners gathering towards the inner city, clenched his fists tightly, and murmured: "Although the Panlong Banquet will gather the young generation of Jiang Kingdom who are close to the threshold of the fourth realm, there should be some people in some places in the world. But at least most of the young practitioners at the peak of the third realm will come to the capital. It seems that they must be prepared to fall into a hard battle."
The Panlong Banquet will be held tonight, and young practitioners from all over the country of Jiang will meet officially, and the highlight will not be opened until tomorrow. Although He Zhengrong has broken through the realm, it will take some time to further stabilize, but time is enough.
He looked up at the light rain in the sky, thinking that at this time, it suddenly started to rain. Does it mean that this year's Panlong Banquet will be a fierce scene of storm and storm.
The people of the He family have high hopes for He Zhengrong, especially the holding of the Panlong Banquet, which is an excellent opportunity to become famous. If He Zhengrong can perform well at the Panlong Banquet, the He family can also take advantage of the opportunity to regain the glory of the prominent family.
Originally, when the He family went to Ligong Jianyuan to look for him, He Zhengrong would choose to ignore it, but this time, he simply went down the mountain and went home.
Similar to the He family's position as a prominent family member who wanted to use He Zhengrong to return to the prestigious family, He Zhengrong also tried his best to get rid of the imprint of the He family's concubine's son.
He didn't want to have any involvement with the He family anymore, so he might as well take this opportunity to have a complete breakup with the He family.
While He Zhengrong was walking towards He Mansion silently, a figure appeared in a street opposite.
With a scent of fragrance coming, He Zhengrong stood still.
He looked up at the person blocking the road, frowned slightly, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Standing in front of He Zhengrong was a girl, who was relatively familiar to him.
It is the disciple of Cangnan Mountain, Ni Zhenchun's junior sister, and Miss Tao Ye.
He Zhengrong thought about the girl's attitude towards Li Mengzhou in Taiqinglou, and blocked her way at this moment, probably because of that guy.
As he expected, Tao Ye held a white oil-paper umbrella, with a smile on his pretty face, and said softly: "Senior Brother Li will come tonight's Panlong Banquet."
He Zhengrong said coldly: "I don't know."
He really didn't know if Li Mengzhou would attend to tonight's Panlong Banquet. He hadn't seen him again for a long time after meeting outside the canteen of the inner courtyard last time.
He was also wondering where Li Mengzhou went, but thought that he should be practicing somewhere. Since he worked so hard, he would not be absent. But tonight's Panlong Banquet was just a banquet, and it didn't matter if he didn't get there.
Tao Ye said with some dissatisfaction: "How can you not know? Are you not your brothers?"
He Zhengrong said: "Even the senior brothers, they will have their own things to do. How can I know what he is doing?"
The smile on Tao Ye's face was curled, and his tone became less polite. "I don't know anything, how can I be my junior brother? Ni Zhenchun is always ready to teach you a lesson at the Panlong Banquet. If Senior Brother Li is not here, how can you beat Ni Zhenchun? You should ask Senior Brother Li to help and let him defeat Ni Zhenchun for you, so that everyone can be happy."
He Zhengrong looked at Tao Ye strangely, thinking that you admire Li Mengzhou so much, but they don’t want to pay attention to you at all. Besides, it’s your business that you like Li Mengzhou, so why do you deliberately belittle me?
He said impatiently: "I will defeat Ni Zhenchun hard at the Panlong Banquet. No matter how much preparation he makes, the result cannot be changed, and this matter has nothing to do with Li Mengzhou."
Tao Ye curled his lips, looked at He Zhengrong up and down, and said, "You seem to have broken through the realm, but unfortunately, Ni Zhenchun had reached the peak of the third realm a few years ago. You are a person who has just broken through the realm, so what if you are a sword cultivator? Being powerful does not just rely on saying things. You should learn from Senior Brother Li. Being powerful is in the bones. There is no need to say anything at all. Everyone will know that Senior Brother Li is very strong."
He Zhengrong secretly smacked his tongue. This little girl is really a matter of saying that she never left Li Mengzhou. She had only met her in Taiqing Tower. Is that guy Li Mengzhou so charming?
He thought that if he was still in appearance, he would be much better than Li Mengzhou.
It was really difficult for him to understand Tao Ye’s thoughts, and he began to feel that this girl might have a problem with her mind.
Although Tao Ye didn't know what He Zhengrong was thinking, he could still see the change of expression on his face very clearly. She squinted her eyes and said, "You are jealous of Senior Brother Li, but this is also normal. After all, among the younger generation of cultivators in the capital, the talented man in Shanglu in the academy can be compared with Senior Brother Li."
"I believe that Senior Brother Li will be able to cross the threshold of the fourth realm soon and will be as famous as Shen Qiubai and others. Your jealousy of Senior Brother Li also means that you have a good vision. After all, in the future, you can only look at Senior Brother Li's back silently."
He Zhengrong subconsciously pinched his fist and made a loud noise.
He felt that Tao Ye was deliberately targeting him, otherwise why did he repeatedly belittle him when he was admiring Li Mengzhou?
After all, He Zhengrong didn't want to shoot a girl and said coldly: "I'm in a hurry to go home. If there is nothing important, I'll walk away."
Tao Ye said with some shame and anger: "What is your attitude?"
He Zhengrong sighed silently and said, "Based on my understanding of Li Mengzhou, he will not like a woman with a personality like you."
Tao Ye's expression changed slightly, and he became a little nervous. He asked, "What kind of girl does Senior Brother Li like?"
He Zhengrong shook his head and said, "I'm not him, how do I know what kind of girl he likes?"
Tao Ye remained silent.
He Zhengrong shook his head again, walked sideways around Tao Ye, and left straight.
Tao Ye held the oil-paper umbrella and turned around to look at He Zhengrong's back. His expression was quite complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
......
Thirty miles of Peach Blossom Land.
Twilight slowly hit.
Li Mengzhou sat cross-legged under a peach tree, his black clothes were soaked in sweat, and he pressed tightly against his body. The black green sword was inserted into the land beside him, and the sword body also showed some tiny gaps.
The wind blows gently in the mountains, and the falling peach petals roll on the ground.
Xiao Zhinan stood under another peach tree not far away, embracing the Mohua Jian with her arms. She was wearing a blue-red spliced outfit, still clean and tidy. She looked at Li Mengzhou who was cross-legged in a calm expression. The breeze blew the hair on her forehead. Against the backdrop of the peach blossoms, she looked like a fairy walking out of the painting.
She silently thought about Li Mengzhou constantly handing her swords for many days, and she has slashed countless swords so far, and his new sword will always be stronger than the previous one. Such significant progress has somewhat broken her original view.
She was just curious about how Li Mengzhou was clearly qualified and had excellent understanding, so why was she still only at the third level of cultivation at this age?
She didn't ask.
Naturally, Li Mengzhou had no reason to take the initiative to talk about this matter.
Otherwise, if Xiao Zhinan knew about it and Li Mengzhou had embarked on the path of cultivation for less than half a year, he might not have thought he was a useless person.
At this time, she silently looked at the boy in black sitting cross-legged under the peach tree and said softly: "I feel that the capital seems very lively. Are you ready to go to the banquet?"
Li Mengzhou slowly opened his eyes, did not go to see Xiao Zhinan, but just pursed his lips and said, "I always feel that it's a little bit short."
Xiao Zhinan said: "In these days, you have made swords countless times, and the realm you broke through has long been solid, and it doesn't even look like you should have when you just broke through the realm. Since you have the identity of a sword cultivator, no one can beat you below the fourth realm. What do you mean by being a little bit short?"
Li Mengzhou looked up at the invading night and said, "I didn't expect to cross the threshold of the four realms so easily, but I still had this idea after all. The so-called difference is not that it is a little bit far from the threshold of the four realms, but that it is really something that is not very rich in some details."
Xiao Zhinan said: "Your idea is very interesting. Just as you have just broken through to the peak of the third realm, you think you have to cross that threshold. Even the most evil person in the world cannot do it so quickly. Unless you suppress the speed of breaking the realm, you can accumulate strength and break the realm one after another at critical moments."
Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "My name contains the word Dream, so I like to dream very much, and it is very unrealistic dreams. But sometimes these dreams will come true, so ideas are very important. Because with this idea, I also have the goal to work for it."
Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "But many times dreams are dreams, and it is difficult to become a reality. Instead of having those unrealistic dreams, it is better to just look at the things in front of you and force things that do not belong to you for the time being, and what you get in the end will definitely be unsatisfactory."
Li Mengzhou tsk his mouth and said, "What you said makes sense, but I still don't want to expel this idea. The sooner I cross that threshold, the sooner I can do things that I couldn't do before."
Xiao Zhinan asked seriously: "Are you sure you can do what you cannot do before you cross that threshold once you cross that threshold?"
Li Mengzhou thought about it seriously and smiled bitterly: "I just stood at a higher position after crossing that threshold, but there are even higher places in the world. For those people, crossing the threshold of the four realms is just like just starting at the foot of the mountain."
Although Xiao Zhinan didn't know what Li Mengzhou wanted to do, the truth was the same. She whispered: "So you are not as anxious as you imagined to cross that threshold. Once there is any problem in the middle, you have to start over, and there may even be no chance to start over."
Li Mengzhou thought for a moment and said, "Although I no longer want to cross that threshold, this idea still exists, so in a limited time, I want to
Find out the feeling that is a little bit bad and make up for it.”
Xiao Zhinan thought to himself that this was really a very stubborn guy.
Li Mengzhou looked in the direction of the capital, thinking that it should be a very lively scene there. Even though he agreed to Jiang Tingyu to go to the banquet and he also made great efforts to practice, he did not feel anxious at all at this moment.
He thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Zhinan, and said, "The Panlong Banquet should have begun at this time. Although it is only the first day, all the people who should appear should have arrived. Don't you want to challenge Chen Qiubai, why are you still here?"
Xiao Zhinan said lightly: "The important figures will always make their final appearance. Chen Qiubai is there anyway and will not disappear."
Li Mengzhou thought it made sense, so he became even more anxious. Instead, he closed his eyes and soon entered the visual state.
At this moment, in addition to the Panlong Banquet about to open, a very lively thing was also happening in a place where no one was paying attention.
