He who seeks good fortune and avoids evil is a gentleman.

Interactions between people are often driven by interests.

In a relationship of interest, if it is beneficial, then we will make use of each other; if it is not beneficial, we will leave it alone and leave it alone. If there is much affection between them, it is very little. Of course, there are still some people who have made close friends in this kind of relationship.

But they are a minority after all, and more relationships in the world are still based on mutual use.

Today's Xiaoyao Sect has attracted two powerful enemies, the Poisonous Beast Gorge and the Japanese pirates on the sea, and its own strength has been weakened, so it is shunned by all the major sects in the south of the Yangtze River. If in the past, Xiaoyao Sect was in the south of the Yangtze River

In the martial arts world, it can be said that everyone responds to a call, but now it seems to have become a rat crossing the street. Although it has not reached the point where everyone is shouting and beating, there are already very few people who respond.

Ren Xiaoyao also understood one thing these days. In the Meijiazhai incident, why did the Japanese pirates not come to seek revenge in person, but hired Japanese Ronin with a lot of money. It turned out that they were testing the details of Xiaoyao Sect. As expected, everyone in Xiaoyao Sect also

I didn't think too much about it, and I was able to see the truth as soon as I was tried.

The Xiaoyao Sect is now strong on the outside but lacking in masters. It can be said that it is in decline. If it were not for the help of the Tang Sect, it would have been destroyed by the Poisonous Beast Gorge. Now the Xiaoyao Sect wants to contact other martial arts sects in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the Japanese pirates, but naturally no one is willing to agree. On the contrary,

Many small sects were afraid of Japanese pirates, so they secretly sent people to collude with Japanese pirates, hoping to deal with Xiaoyaomen in turn.

As soon as Ren Xiaoyao returned to Xiaoyaomen, he immediately sent people to contact various factions in the south of the Yangtze River. Firstly, he wanted to see their reactions, and secondly, he also wanted to know how many of the so-called Jianghu people he had known before were sincerely loyal to Xiaoyao.

Door friendship.

As a result, Tian Shilie contacted around and found that there were dozens of famous sects and families, large and small, but only three sects supported Xiaoyao Sect.

They are Yuxian Pavilion, Leiyintang and the famous Confucius family in West Lake.

When the Xiaoyao Sect was strong, many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River wanted to make friends with the Xiaoyao Sect at all costs, but now there are only three families left who are willing to fight with the Xiaoyao Sect against the powerful enemy, which is really disappointing.

Although Ren Xiaoyao was a little mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that there would be so few people supporting them.

"Alie, is there any reply from Xingjian Sect?" Ren Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and suddenly asked Tian Shilie.

"No." Tian Shilie replied.

"It shouldn't be! Everyone doesn't have to come, but the Star Sword Sect shouldn't." Ren Xiaoyao seemed to be in disbelief.

"It is said that Mr. Ou is practicing in seclusion, so no one is in charge, so he did not reply." Tian Shilie replied.

"Doesn't he have a son? His son is considered a number one figure in the world. Is it possible that he still can't be the master?" Ren Xiaoyao asked.

"The eldest son is not at home all year round. He travels around in the mountains and rivers, and he doesn't see anyone at all." Tian Shilie replied.

"No! The man named Ou is simply avoiding me. I know he is a good man, but I don't want to be as virtuous as others." Ren Xiaoyao sighed.

"Yes! After all, there is still some distance between Xingjian Sect and us. Maybe this time we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. If our Xiaoyao Sect is defeated, Xingjian Sect can just come forward and dominate Jiangnan again.

." Tian Shilie said thoughtfully.

"No, we must send someone to see Old Man Ou again." Ren Xiaoyao said decisively.

"Master, how about I go to Star Sword Mountain myself?" Tian Shilie asked.

"No. Old Man Ou has an arrogant temperament. He was defeated by me back then. It has been thirty years now and he has never been to Xingjian Mountain. After all, he still hates me a little. You are younger, he will not see you.

, it won’t help if we go there.” Ren Xiaoyao shook his head.

"Then what should I do? Master, do you want to go there in person? We can't do without you here!" Tian Shilie asked.

"Even if I go, he may not be willing to see me." Ren Xiaoyao denied again.

"Then there is no suitable candidate." Tian Shilie said helplessly.

"Hey! Is the Fifth Young Hero back?" Ren Xiaoyao thought for a moment and asked suddenly.

"not yet."

"How long have they been gone?"

"It's been more than half a month."

"If you haven't come back, it seems there is no hope." Ren Xiaoyao said a little sadly.

As he said that, he began to miss his granddaughter again. After all, this was still the only flesh and blood of his Ren family, and now it was lost in such an inexplicable way. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept it, but he was helpless. "Not necessarily...

．

"It's not certain. If we can find Zhong'er and Luan'er, the Fifth Young Master would have sent someone back to report the news. If there is no news for so long, then naturally they have not been found. Although I am old, I am not confused yet. Forget it.

, let’s not talk about this! Send someone to find him and Miss Wei right away. I have something for them to do.” Ren Xiaoyao changed the subject.

"Could it be that Master wants them to go to Star Sword Mountain on your behalf?" Tian Shilie asked.

"That's right. Haha! This old guy Ou Zhen is very self-aware, but he doesn't know that he is basically a frog in the well. Of course, he was defeated by me, and he also had many dissatisfactions. He always thought that his swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world.

After so many years, he has not come down from the mountain to take a look. The world no longer belongs to us old men." Ren Xiaoyao said very confidently.

"Oh! I understand. Nowadays, the Fifth Young Hero is famous in the world, and he is also famous for his swordsmanship. After hearing his name, Mr. Ou will definitely be dissatisfied and will challenge him, so he will definitely meet the Fifth Young Hero.

." Tian Shilie said all the words that Ren Xiaoyao didn't say.

"Yes, that's what I mean. I want people named Ou to know that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the rivers and lakes. You can only be a frog in the well. If you don't leave home, you will never achieve great things. You will only suffer the fifth young hero..."

ah!

First there was a scream, then a loud "boom", and the door of a guest door of Xiaoyaoshui Pavilion was suddenly smashed to pieces by a strong force, directly interrupting the conversation between the two. Then a person jumped out of the room with teeth and claws.

, yelling like crazy.

Ren Xiaoyao and Tian Shilie looked back, but it was the young monk from Guanfo Temple who had lost consciousness again.

The destined master, Master Wuchen, rushed out of the room immediately and wanted to drag him back. However, the young monk seemed to be possessed by a magical power for some reason. With just a wave of his hand, he pulled his master away.

Throw it back into the room.

"The little monk is so awesome!" Tian Shilie couldn't help but praise.

You must know that Master Wuchen is Ren Xiaoyao's good friend. Although his skills are inferior to Ren Xiaoyao's, he is far superior to Tian Shilie. If the little monk just made a move, if it were Tian Shilie himself, he would never be able to catch it.

Tian Shilie said, and was about to go up to stop him, but was stopped by Ren Xiaoyao.

Grab him. Ren Xiaoyao flew up and was the first to stop him in front of the young monk. He mobilized his true energy and stretched out his hand to grab it, using his grasping hand to catch the young monk. But the young monk was like a carp, unable to slide on his body.
