Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 199 Reputation
Yunlai Inn, after Li Fan came back, he ordered a pot of wine and some side dishes on the terrace of the inn.

I'm afraid there will be no peace after today.

When he first came to Chixiao City, no one knew him in Qixing Lane, so naturally no one paid attention to him. But now, he knows very well that his future days in Chixiao City will not be peaceful.

But he had no regrets. Although it was a momentary impulse, at least he felt happy. Everyone laughed at him and insulted him, thinking that he was arrogant and overestimating his own abilities. If he endured this, his swordsmanship would not be smooth.

If my identity as a disciple of Lishan were to become known to others in the future, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Lishan?

"Brother Zuo, why didn't you go to Senior Chengyingjian's dojo today? Those who are on the Qingyun List all have a chance." Someone saw Li Fan and said with a smile, with a mentality of watching the fun.

"I went." Li Fan responded.

"Oh? You're back so early?"

"You are not qualified to enter." Li Fan smiled indifferently. Everyone showed an understanding smile. They understood it tacitly, but no one discussed it. After all, the driver next to Li Fan was very violent.

This Zuo Tu is arrogant and conceited. This time when he went to the Chengying Sword Arena, he must know how many geniuses there are in Chixiao City.

"This time, Senior Chengying Sword is recruiting disciples at his dojo. All the practitioners on the Qingyun Ranking should go there. It will definitely be a great gathering. I wonder how many people will be accepted by the dojo this time. Also, on the sword wall, the word Cang Yunxuan is dazzling. I wonder if anyone can carve a word to compete with it."

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Only Yingze has a chance." Someone said.

"Ying Ze has been the number one on the Qingyun Ranking for more than a year, and no one has been able to shake him. He could have gone to Senior Chengyingjian's dojo last year, but he didn't go until this year. His goal is self-evident."

"Is it to surpass Cang Yunxuan?"

"I think so, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult. I've been there and witnessed it myself. It's too eye-catching. The words carved by the people on the Qingyun Ranking this year will only serve as a foil."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, it was very lively, and they also hinted at Li Fan in their words, which made Li Fan feel a little funny.

At this time, voices were heard one after another, and Yunlai Inn suddenly became lively. Many people came here and soon filled the terrace.

The visitors looked at Li Fan from time to time and talked in low voices.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people?" Everyone was a little curious. Many people went to the Taoist temple to watch the ceremony today.

At this time, a graceful figure came here, and everyone was stunned. Is it Xia Yao?
Xia Yao, who is ranked twelfth on the Qingyun List.

Xia Yao's gaze fell on Li Fan, making everyone even more curious.

"Miss Xia, how come you have time to come here?" Someone stood up and bowed, "Senior Chengyingjian's dojo..."

"It's over." Xia Yao's tone seemed to be filled with some resentment, and she glared at Li Fan.

She was ranked twelfth on the Qingyun List, so it was no surprise that she could enter the dojo.

Unexpectedly, she, who was watching the fun, would also suffer an unexpected disaster.

awful!
This year's Qingyun List is all miserable.

It’s all because of this guy Zuotu.

"It's over?" Those people were stunned: "Shouldn't Miss Xia enter the dojo to practice? I wonder how many people Senior Chengyingjian has accepted this year."

"Three." Xia Yao replied unhappily.

“Three?”

Everyone was stunned, a little puzzled: "Why is this?"

"Then you should ask Master Zuo." Xia Yao walked to Li Fan's table and sat down directly, saying, "You prevented me from entering Chengying Sword Dojo to practice. Is it not too much to treat me to a few drinks?"

"Please come in, Miss Xia." Li Fan said indifferently. It seemed that because he defeated Han Zhong, Chengying Sword Dojo only accepted three people this time?

This way, I am afraid I will offend a lot of people...

The people around were even more confused. Why should they ask Zuo Tu?
What happened?

"Young Master Zuo." Another person came here. It was Lu Yuhuan. After the work over there was done, she also came to Yunlai Inn. She was stunned when she saw Xia Yao. She didn't expect that the other party was faster than her.

"Miss Lu." Li Fan replied, "Sit down."

Lu Yuhuan came and sat down next to Xia Yao, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Master Zuo has gotten into trouble this time."

"What happened over there?" Li Fan asked.

“After you defeated Han Zhong and left your words, Chengying Sword Dojo only accepted three people, all of whom were in the top five of the Qingyun Ranking. Moreover, the words they carved could not surpass your word ‘crazy’. Although they entered Chengying Sword Dojo, they were suppressed by you. I’m afraid they are all angry. Besides, the others who did not enter the dojo…”

Lu Yuhuan said this and glanced at Xia Yao beside her, and Li Fan naturally understood what she meant.

"Watching and clapping is a waste of time. It doesn't matter if you are careless or crazy." Xia Yao said in a soft voice, "You are so straightforward. Now I can't enter the Chengying Sword Dojo to practice. What do you think we should do?" "Aren't I inviting Miss Xia to have a drink?" Li Fan said with a smile. Xia Yao should not be here to cause trouble, otherwise she would not have this attitude.

"He defeated Han Zhong?" Someone nearby exclaimed, "Stone wall engraving, no one has surpassed it?"

They felt a little confused. They had just been laughing in their hearts at Li Fan's going there this time, thinking that he must have become self-aware. However, the conversation between the few people made them feel a little confused.

"Yes, he defeated Su Chen and Chen Xiao with one sword, and defeated Han Zhong with three swords. He carved the word 'Kuang' on the stone wall, replacing the word 'Cang' in Cang Yunxuan's name, making it the best on the stone wall." Xia Yao said.

Everyone: "..."

"Is this a joke?"

"Who are you? Do you think you are Zuo Tu? Who has time to joke with you?" Xia Yao glared at the other party, and the crowd around them was immediately in an uproar, looking at Li Fan in shock.

Defeat Han Zhong with three swords, and surpass Cang Yunxuan with engraving?
crazy.

Doesn't this mean that Li Fan, as the youngest swordsman on the Qingyun list, has leapt into the top ten of the Qingyun list? His brilliance is even close to the first place on the Qingyun list, and the words he carved surpass those of Cang Yunxuan.

More and more practitioners came here, and they all seemed to be coming for Li Fan. Everyone finally realized that this was really happening.

"You should be careful." Xia Yao reminded Li Fan, "You are not afraid of those on the Blue Cloud List who did not enter the Chengying Sword Dojo to practice. Since you can defeat Han Zhong, they are no problem. But the three people who entered the Chengying Sword Dojo to practice, except for the second and fourth on the Blue Cloud List, the top five went. Although these three entered the dojo to practice, they are more likely to look for you."

After hearing what Xia Yao said, Li Fan thought about it for a while and understood the key point. He had carved more words than the other three people, so the other party must want to prove themselves more.

Apart from that, he had offended Li Chengying this time. Although Li Chengying, the fifth best swordsman in the world, would not cause trouble for Li Fan, the same might be true for his disciples. In order to gain Li Chengying's recognition, the three new disciples would most likely find him and share their worries.

"Yingze, number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking, you must remember this man. He has been the number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking for a year. He is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The second-ranked person is far from being his opponent. His combat power is already infinitely close to the Condensation Pill Realm."

"Thank you." Li Fan nodded. Xia Yao was really enthusiastic. She even came here to tell him these things.

As the two were chatting, a chill suddenly descended.

The sword energy covered the area. Li Fan frowned and looked up, then saw Su Chen standing not far away, with the middle-aged swordsman standing behind him.

After Li Fan left, Su Chen was still unwilling to give up and held on to a glimmer of hope, so he tried to carve some words. But the final result was that even those who were on the Qingyun List in his previous life could not enter the temple, let alone him.

All the hopes and plans made for so long were shattered by Li Fan.

A chill spread out, and Yue Qingqiu stood in front of Li Fan, staring at the middle-aged swordsman, guarding against the other party's attack.

"You have such a refined taste." Su Chen stared at Li Fan with a sneer, murderous intent in his eyes.

"What? Brother Su wants to kill me? Aren't you going to hire someone to assassinate me this time?" Li Fan asked.

"Master Su, please don't act impulsively. This Chixiao City still has some rules after all." Lu Yuhuan also looked at Su Chen and said, "Even if there was no assassination, it is normal for Master Zuo to fight back against you for what you did to him."

"What? You, Lu Yuhuan, are in charge too?" Su Chen said, looking at Lu Yuhuan.

"I know that Young Master Su is from the Su family in the imperial city, but this is Chixiao City after all. As far as I know, Young Master Su may not be able to invite a seventh-level cultivator from the Su family." Lu Yuhuan responded indifferently, but her words hit Su Chen's soft spot.

He wanted to become Li Chengying's disciple for the sake of family status. With his status, even if he died in Chixiao City, the seventh-level cultivator from the Su family would probably not come.

And in Chixiao City, the Lu family has a cultivator at the peak of the sixth realm.

"The Lu family, are you going to stand up for him?" Su Chen stared at Lu Yuhuan.

"Yes." Lu Yuhuan replied: "If Master Su wants to take action, the Lu family will not sit idly by."

"You are not as skilled as others, and you have the nerve to come here just to use conspiracy tactics. You still have to rely on the people behind you. If I were you, I would not show up." Xia Yao also sarcastically said.

"It seems that Mr. Su has not offended Miss Xia?" Su Chen frowned.

"Of course you have offended me." Xia Yao glared at him and said, "If you hadn't provoked Zuo Tu for no reason, why would he have stopped you outside the dojo? Naturally, there wouldn't have been any of the things that happened later. Speaking of which, I should have come to you to settle the score for not being able to enter the Chengying Sword Dojo to practice."

"You..." Su Chen pointed at Xia Yao angrily. He should take the blame for what Li Fan did?

Many people around looked at Su Chen and pointed at him, making Su Chen's face even uglier. This was completely different from the situation in the previous few days.

People are so realistic.

When Li Fan first challenged him, everyone thought that Li Fan was arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations, and that Li Fan was deliberately acting in a high-profile manner in order to enter the Taoist temple to practice.

Nowadays, huh...

"Brother Zuo, see you later." Su Chen said coldly and walked away.

He will definitely settle this account.
