Someone asked me, "Do you ever fall in love with the characters you create when you're writing a novel?"
[I looked at the original protagonist I had written before.]
Me: The most important thing in our line of work is not to fall in love with the customers.
[I've been working through the outline these past couple of days, and I feel like following the original plot isn't very interesting. I'm seeing if I can come up with a new storyline.]
[I'll definitely add more chapters once I've sorted it out, trust me! [Bowing and exposing cleavage.JPG]]
Chapter 63: Keep it up! Don't embarrass yourself!
At the old celestial master's command, the young Taoist boy brought over a cardboard box and began drawing lots.
Below, people lined up to draw lots, while the Old Master explained the rules of the competition from above.
"Due to limited space, this draw will use the Heavenly Stems to represent the order in which you will enter the competition, and the animals to represent the matches you will be matched in."
"Each animal has four, and those who get the same animal will enter the same competition."
Only one of the four can advance to the next match.
Zhang Chulan joined the queue, drew a card, and opened it to take a look.
"Yi Qinglong?"
The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were used in ancient astronomy and calendar systems. There are ten Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.
Am I in the second round? Four-on-one?
Zhang Chulan scratched his chin, wondering if the advisor had finished arranging the behind-the-scenes scheme.
He has always been accustomed to concealing his talents, and even if he has made arrangements, he still needs to be cautious.
Is there any way to easily pass the level?
Lu Xuan looked at the armored Xuanwu in his hand.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering how much the Old Master had orchestrated in this.
What? You're saying the Celestial Master didn't necessarily scheme this much?
Being young only means you're too young. Only someone like Wang Ye, a member of the younger generation, would think that the old master would care about face and reputation.
Those who were truly from the same era as the Old Celestial Master know that none of the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain—no, none of them were decent people; being thick-skinned and ruthless was a basic requirement.
I just hope the old master's schemes aren't too ruthless, so that these talented young people among the extraordinary individuals will meet me a little later.
if not……
Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to beat them up!
Lu Xuan sighed, blaming himself for being too outstanding, which made his peers look dull and easily lose their motivation to move forward.
"For this duel, please have the contestants from Team A Xuanwu enter the arena immediately..."
The area where Jia Xuanwu competed had the largest crowd, not because many of the participants were famous, but because the three who had already arrived were rather conspicuous...
"Oh my god? Have we come to the wrong place?"
"Yes! Is this really the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"
"Did you guys buy the wrong tickets? Why are there three comedians here?"
"Yeah! Especially those two guys, I think I've seen them perform before!"
"Yeah! Those two guys, I feel like they're both forty."
"Brothers, why do you all speak with such a strong Tianjin accent?"
"I don't know! When I saw those three comedians, their accents just went away on their own."
Inside the competition venue, the three people, whom the audience described as performing a crosstalk routine, looked at each other.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two men in front of him, one tall and strong, the other tall and thin, who looked more like butchers than doctors, and couldn't help but scratch his head.
As for why Xiao Xiao knew these two were doctors, it was naturally because...
"Senior Brother Wang? Second Senior Brother Wang?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but scratch his head: "Didn't my two senior brothers go to join NaDuTong Company?"
"Why are you here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"
Wang Da, who was tall and strong, suddenly brightened up.
"It's Junior Brother Xiao!"
Wang Er, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, took over the conversation.
"What do you call this? This is called fate. We brothers haven't seen each other for so many years, we have to get together!"
"Shouldn't we get together?"
Wang laughed and patted the surgical bag he was carrying.
"We came over because it looked lively with so many people, so we thought we'd join in and contribute."
"I see."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
The "senior brother" he referred to wasn't a senior brother in the world of supernatural beings, but rather that they had both studied at the DeX Society and coincidentally discovered they were both supernatural beings.
I heard that these two senior students originally studied medicine and worked as orthopedic surgeons, but later found it too tiring and went to work as construction workers.
Later, he thought that performing crosstalk was good, so he studied crosstalk for two years.
However, I later heard that they went to NaDuTong Company...
Sure enough, abandoning medicine leads to success in everything.
I just don't know who the last contestant will be...
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao bowed to Wang Da and Wang Er.
"Senior brothers, since we have met on this field, please do not hold back."
"So that the audience won't think we're throwing the game."
"Hey! You're saying that."
Wang Da spoke, and Wang Er, as if by telepathy, finished the sentence.
"We haven't lost our skills. Since we're here to compete, we can't let the audience down."
"Junior brother, just you wait and see! This time, I'll show you my true skills."
Wang Da and Wang Er spoke with confidence.
They were key members of the Na Du Tong company's regional division, and later, due to their medical background, they were transferred to work under Xu Si.
That's when I realized... it's not as good as it used to be!
Before, they would at most catch Quanxing members all over the streets. After joining Xu Si's gang, they started picking up Quanxing members all over the streets. Sometimes, they would stick them so firmly that they had to use a shovel to remove them.
They came to Longhu Mountain this time to clean up the mess with Lu Xuan.
Suppressing the Quanxing sect was not their primary task, since their entire group was serving Lu Xuan.
Even participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ritual competition this time was just a side thing.
I just don't know who's so unlucky as to run into the three of us fellow disciples...
Then Lu Xuan walked in.
Wang Da and Wang Er: "..."
"Master Lu?"
The audience, who had already eaten popcorn and were treating the day as the opening act of a crosstalk performance, fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a deafening roar.
"It's actually the Bloodthirsty Butcher?"
"Isn't it the Path of the Killer?"
"Hey! Where did you all get these cringeworthy nicknames from?"
"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, I love you! We'll be together sooner or later!"
"Aru, look at me! Look at me!"
"Lu Xuan, my husband, I love you!"
The rest of the audience: "?"
Wait, how come there's a fan club here? Isn't this the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?
Even Lu Xuan was speechless upon hearing these comments, realizing that he was clearly a powerful player.
Sigh! How did I end up as an idol?
Is it just because of her looks?
"Master Lu, what brings you here again?"
"That's right! We two brothers thought you were here to be a judge!"
Wang Da and Wang Er rubbed their hands together, their faces full of fawning smiles.
Just kidding! They came with Lu Xuan, and their job now is to defend him.
How incredibly bold must someone have been to dare to attack Lu Xuan!
The obsequiousness of Wang Da and Wang Er made the audience, who were preparing to watch the show, feel a pang of regret.
"What are you talking about? How did you two end up chatting like this!"
"Yeah! Why don't you dare fight Lu Xuan?"
"That's right, that's right, it's not like we'll necessarily die."
"Tch!" Wang Da and Wang Er curled their lip, "If you're so good, then you do it!"
They knew Lu Xuan's battle record best, since they were always the ones responsible for cleaning up the battlefield afterward.
There must be more than two hundred Quanxing members who have died at the hands of Master Lu. In every recorded encounter, not a single one has survived. Only someone with the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard would dare to fight Lu Xuan!
