The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 136 Jealousy (4000)

The wandering people below did not recognize Yin Minjun, but the big sects sitting in the north did.

Although the Hengshan Sect seemed to have no class at all in front of Li Miao, it was actually a first-class sect that could be shown off, known and established in the southern martial arts world.

When it comes down to it, the criteria for evaluating a Jianghu force is how many masters there are in the sect and whether it can continue to steadily cultivate masters of this level.

Among them, there are only four words: wealth, partner, law and land.

Wealth: Whether there is sufficient financial resources to support disciples to learn martial arts.

Partner: Are there any wise teachers to teach you, and any outstanding classmates to improve together with you?

Method: Whether the inheritance within the sect is profound.

Location: How large a geographical area can be used to recruit talents and bring them into the team.

The Hengshan School, which possesses all four points and is able to stably and continuously produce first-class masters, is a truly first-class force, and one that stands out among the first-class.

The only three schools in the world that can routinely bring out top masters are Shaolin, Wudang and Mingjiao.

There are only these three top forces.

The Hengshan Sect consciously humbles itself in front of Li Miao, simply because whether it is Li Miao or the Jinyiwei, they are just dimensionality reduction attacks in the martial arts world.

Right now, the more prominent sects in the southern martial arts world, such as Emei and Kongtong, have been ordered by Li Miao to deal with the Miao people for him.

Those sitting on the north side were all relatively weaker sects among the first-rate forces. They were kicked out of the competition for the Miao King's Tomb in advance, so they had the leisure to join in the fun.

After taking a look, several families recognized Yin Minjun.

"Is it Elder Yin?"

"It's her, why is she sitting down there?"

"Who is the man sitting next to her?"

"I haven't seen him, but he is very good-looking. If he is famous in the martial arts world, it is impossible that he doesn't match up."

Several managers were discussing with each other.

Yin Minjun, on her part, didn't notice anything at all.

She is now studying how far away from Li Miao she should sit.

Two feet? That's too far.

He moved his butt towards Li Miao.

One foot? It shouldn't be a big deal.

Move over.

Half a foot? It's also acceptable for close friends.

Move a little further.

Two inches...Anyway, he already said “just a little bit”.

Move again.

In a few seconds, he almost stuck to Li Miao's arm. He also secretly glanced at Li Miao to see if he noticed.

Li Miao was at ease. He just laughed secretly and let Yin Minjun do whatever she wanted.

The big sects sitting in the north saw all of this and are now dumbfounded.

It's not like they haven't met Yin Minjun and the others before. They were both in the southern martial arts world and had dealt with each other many times in the past.

In front of them, Yin Minjun was a graceful, resourceful, and superb swordsman.

What's going on today?
Why are you acting like a woman?
Are you possessed?
If it weren't for the fact that Yin Minjun's appearance was quite outstanding among the female martial arts masters in the southern world and everyone was impressed by her, they would have doubted whether they had recognized the wrong person.

Most people were just surprised, but there was one person whose face fell.

There is no other reason. How could a woman like Yin Minjun not be remembered by others?
Normally speaking, in Dashuo, women in their twenties are considered to be past marriageable age.

But Yin Minjun had mastered martial arts, and the Hengshan School's internal skills were suitable for women to practice. With the nourishment of true qi, she looked no different from a young woman in her twenties. Moreover, she had a high status and outstanding appearance.

This person was thinking about it in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. He just kept it in his heart as a dream.

Now that he sees his own "dream" being fulfilled by others in front of him, how can he not feel uncomfortable?
You know, he had discussed this matter with the Hengshan School and Yin Minjun over and over again more than a decade ago, but nothing came of it. Seeing that Yin Minjun was still unmarried at the age of 30, he thought that she didn't have this intention, and gradually gave up.

But looking at the situation, she definitely has this idea in mind.

His thoughts are written all over his face!
The man couldn't help it and stood up suddenly.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and say hello."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards Li Miao.

"I'll go take a look too."

"Go together, go together."

People from several other major sects also stood up and followed.

Li Miao seemed to be unaware of it. He just folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

Yin Minjun was still struggling with the last inch of distance, wondering whether she should move closer or not. Her mind was in a state of confusion, and she didn't even look up, and didn't notice anything.

The disciples of Huanhua Sword Sect who were sitting behind them all changed their expressions.

How could they know that it was because of Yin Minjun? They just thought that these major sects had discovered Li Miao, a heretic, and wanted to come together to eliminate evil and defend the way of Taoism.

The leading young man hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice.

"Brother Li, Brother Li!"

"People from Longmen Sect, Tiejian Sect, and Tianmen Gang are here, wake up!"

After all, the incident that Li Miao had caused outside the mountain gate was ultimately to vent their anger. Although he felt that Li Miao was not a decent person, he did not just stand by and watch.

Li Miao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people who were approaching.

The one in the lead kept looking back and forth between Li Miao and Yin Minjun, his expression was obviously unfriendly.

Li Miao laughed.

He was very familiar with this look.

Loser!
Whether in his past life or in this life, he has seen too much.

The man walked quickly to Li Miao, glanced at him, but then walked away and bowed to Yin Minjun.

"Elder Yin, long time no see."

Yin Minjun was quietly raising her buttocks, preparing to eliminate the last inch of distance.

Being interrupted so unexpectedly, I couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed.

He raised his head, recognized the man, and said coldly.

"Master Xiao, long time no see."

Then he looked at the people who had arrived behind that person and greeted them one by one.

"Boss Wu, Master Peng, Elder Fang, I am honored."

Several people also responded with a smile and greeted Yin Minjun.

"Elder Yin, these disciples look unfamiliar. Are they the new disciples of Hengshan Sect?"

We are talking about several people from the Huanhua Sword Sect.

"Elder Yin, why are you sitting here?"

"It's too noisy here, why don't we move to the north so we can talk to Master Xingchi."

However, they all tacitly avoided talking about Li Miao.

It's not that they all have feelings for Yin Minjun, but the face of the headmaster Xiao who came over first is obviously getting uglier. Talking to Li Miao at this time seems to be a bad omen for him.

All of them were veterans, and they knew that matters between men and women were the most troublesome and unreasonable, so they were unwilling to get involved.

Anyway, Sect Leader Xiao will definitely not be able to help but speak.

Sure enough, Sect Master Xiao stood aside and watched Yin Minjun greeting everyone without any distance from Li Miao, and was even too lazy to look at him. He felt more and more uncomfortable.

He spoke suddenly.

"This brother, you look unfamiliar. Are you a friend of Elder Yin?"

"How come he doesn't even have a name in the martial arts world? We've been thinking about it for a long time, but we can't find a name for him."

"You haven't asked for advice yet?"

There wasn't much problem with what he said, but his tone was really sour.

Not only Yin Minjun, but also people from several other major sects heard it.

They were originally curious about Li Miao's identity, but they were not in a position to ask. Since Sect Leader Xiao was willing to ask, they were naturally happy to go along with it. So they all kept silent and just waited to watch the show.

Yin Minjun looked at Li Miao and did not answer for a moment.

There are certain rules to follow when asking questions in this kind of situation.

As a woman, if Li Miao was just a friend, Yin Minjun would introduce him first, and then Li Miao would greet everyone.

If she regarded Li Miao as her husband, she would not ask for help, but let Li Miao get to know everyone directly.

Although the rules of Dashuo are not as rigid as those in the ancient times of Li Miao's previous life, it is still based on feudal society after all, and some of the necessary things still exist.

Seeing that Yin Minjun didn't say anything and just looked at Li Miao like a young wife, Sect Leader Xiao's expression became even uglier.

Li Miao was watching the show with great interest.

He had interrogated more prisoners than these people had eaten steamed buns, and could sense their energy flow and heart rate more clearly. With just a glance, he knew what they were thinking.

Especially this Sect Leader Xiao.

When he was in Shuntian Prefecture, many people like this came to him and said things like "I am more sincere" and "I have known her longer". He knew what Master Xiao was planning without having to look closely.

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

Seeing that the topic turned to himself, Li Miao smiled and bowed.

"Li Miao, a wandering Jianghu man, nice to meet you all."

After planning with Zhu Zai, he no longer needed to hide his martial arts and identity in the martial arts world.

But, regardless of his martial arts skills, he did not intend to reveal his identity as a Jinyiwei here.

Because several major factions in Miaojiang were helping him to discipline the Miao people. If the news that he was a Jinyiwei got out, those major factions would become suspicious and afraid of being used as a knife in the hands of the court, and would be unwilling to help, which would inevitably affect his vacation.

Therefore, Li Miao still says that he is a casual person.

Anyway, for a contestant who can knock off a dozen heads with one slap, it doesn’t make much difference whether he reports his number or not.

"Master Li, I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

"I have admired you for a long time."

Anyway, no matter whether you have heard of it or not, with the cultural level of the people in the underworld, they can only say these two polite words.

Sect Leader Xiao's eyes lit up.

Jianghu Sanren... does that mean having no background and no backing?

He looks to be in his thirties, hasn't made a name for himself in the martial arts world, and his martial arts skills aren't necessarily that good either.

Could it be that it’s just because of his outstanding appearance?

I'm not bad! Why did I fall in love with him alone?

Sect Leader Xiao looked at Yin Minjun, feeling a little resentful.

Yin Minjun didn't even look at him.

The word "not bad" is usually fair when used to describe others, but it is usually a bit exaggerated when used to describe oneself.

Sect Leader Xiao is just an average person, and has managed to develop some of the qualities of someone in a high position.

If you compare with Li Miao... let's put it this way, if the two of them go to a brothel together, Li Miao doesn't have to pay.

And this money will most likely be secretly added to Master Xiao's account by the madam - you can see how big the gap between the two is.

Sect Leader Xiao did not have this self-awareness and could not help but speak.

"Master Li is really handsome, but he has no sect or school, and he has no reputation in the martial arts world, so it is not easy for him to sit on the north side."

"Elder Yin cares about his 'friend', which is quite respectable."

He bit the word "friend".

"However, today is a major event for Shaolin after all. Elder Yin is here on behalf of Hengshan Sect, so it would be inappropriate for him to sit here and not greet Master Xingchi."

"Why not move to the north? My Longmen Sect will make room for Hero Li."

This statement sounds very reasonable and no one can find fault with it.

After all, he is the leader of a faction and a man who cares about his reputation. He will not really bring things to the table.

However, this secret run is inevitable.

He said that it was not appropriate for Li Miao to sit on the north side, and asked his disciples to give up their seats to Li Miao. In fact, he was mocking Li Miao for being not presentable.

The disciple's seat is behind the master. If Li Miao sits behind him, wouldn't that be an admission that he is inferior to him?

Yin Minjun felt annoyed when hearing this.

How good a temper could she have for a swordsman like her?

She was really trying to get close to Li Miao, and even gave up her daughterly reserve last night, only for Li Miao to say, "Let's talk about it tomorrow night."

If this guy named Xiao messed things up, wouldn't she be so angry that she would die?
His hand reached for the hilt of the sword.

But was caught by a big hand.

Li Miao held Yin Minjun's hand, squeezed it, and signaled her not to worry about it.

He turned to Sect Master Xiao and said with a smile.

"Then it's annoying."

Then he stood up with Yin Minjun by his hand, turned to the people from Huanhua Sword Sect and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a better position."

After saying that, he led a few people and walked towards the north.

Yin Minjun was suddenly held by Li Miao's hand. She felt sweat on her palms and felt shy, but she didn't dare to let go and wipe it off, for fear that Li Miao would not hold her hand again.

He didn't even draw his sword. Instead, he lowered his head, blushed, and followed Li Miao in small steps.

She looks like a newly married young bride.

Sect Leader Xiao’s face turned green when he saw this.

Li Miao led his men to the north and sat down on the seat of Master Xiao.

He then told everyone in the Huanhua Sword Sect, "Sit down, everyone."

"Just sit in the Longmen Sect's seat. Pick the one near the front where you can see clearly."

"Master Xiao is in a high position, and he can see far. You can't stop him, so just let him sit in the back."

After saying that, he stretched out his leg to grab a chair, put it next to himself, and pulled Yin Minjun to sit on it.

Then he leaned close to Yin Minjun's ear and whispered.

"Elder Yin."

"Is this close enough?"

But he was making fun of the fact that Yin Minjun had been moving towards him.

Hearing this, Yin Minjun was so embarrassed that she was about to cry.

"Ah! I, I..."

Li Miao smiled, patted Yin Minjun's hand, then leaned back in his chair, looking lazily at Sect Leader Xiao and the others who had returned.

Sect Leader Xiao's expression became increasingly ugly. He walked up to Li Miao and asked in a cold voice.

"Master Li, I'm kind enough to move you to another seat. What's the meaning of this?"

"Ah, thank you."

Li Miao put on that lazy expression that usually annoyed Zhu Zai.

"They are all Elder Yin's friends, so it's not right to favor one over the other."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Xiao, for giving up your seat. I just wanted to see more clearly and chat with Elder Yin."

After saying that, he took Yin Minjun's hand and lifted it up, waving it in front of him.

"you!"

Sect Leader Xiao laughed out of anger. He knew that Li Miao was mocking him and was about to fight back.

Then I heard an old, hearty voice coming from behind me.

"Hero Li, Elder Yin, you are here."

"The monk has been waiting for you for a long time."

Sect Leader Xiao turned around suddenly, only to see Xing Chi being supported by someone, who passed him and walked straight to Li Miao.
