Chapter Nineteenth: Random Adaptation

  At the sound, Chen Xiao's heart suddenly jumped and quickly calculated: "The people from Songshan have arrived. There are no good people under Zuo Lengchan, let's take a look at the situation for now, since we've met, we must think of a way to rescue him!"

  Just thinking about this, the system's voice suddenly sounded: "Handling Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Hands event. Task requirements: None, task rewards: issued according to the completion of the task. Note: This task has no specific requirements, everything depends on the host's own decision."

  Decide for myself? No wiping out failures? Haha, just what I wanted, just what I wanted!

  Chen Xiao turned her head and saw four middle-aged men wearing crimson clothes walking in from the main entrance.

  The four men entered the door, divided into two sides and stood still. Then a tall and majestic man in crimson clothes walked straight in from among the four men with his head held high. He held a five-colored brocade flag in his hand, which was embroidered with pearls and precious stones. Every time he waved it, it emitted dazzling light.

  Chen Xiao took a glance at the man and thought to himself, "Could this be that infamous Fei Bin from Mount Tai?" He then looked at the command flag again, thinking, "This is actually the Five Peaks Command Flag? If I were to take it out and sell it, I'd probably get a good price for it."

  At this time, the Five Peaks' command flag came out, and everyone in the arena was shocked: "The command flag of the Alliance Master of the Five Peaks Sword Sect has arrived!"

  The Five Mountain Sword Sects were originally not weak, and now they are united in five sects, their momentum is naturally even more powerful. The leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, Zuo Lengchan, has high martial arts skills and strategic thinking, and he sent someone to come, holding the flag of the Five Mountains Order, at this time, everyone present did not understand what was going on.

  But others didn't understand, and Chen Xiao still didn't understand. Just as he was thinking about how to resolve the matter, he heard the flag bearer say: "Brother Liu, I have been ordered by the Left Alliance Master to temporarily postpone the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony!"

  As soon as he appeared, he wanted to postpone the grand ceremony of washing hands in a golden basin. The people who had come earlier to congratulate Huang Zhong also knew that Liu Zhengfeng was a good person and if he could become an official, it would be a good thing for the people. But now, Zuo Lengchan's men didn't come early or late, but came at this time, and as soon as they appeared, they wanted to stop it, so everyone felt unhappy in their hearts.

  Liu Zhengfeng bowed and said, "In the past, our Five Mountains Sword Sect formed an alliance, agreeing to assist each other in attack and defense, upholding justice on the rivers and lakes. When encountering matters related to our five sects, everyone must obey the orders of the Alliance Master. But now that Liu wants to retire from the world, focus on playing the zither and flute, I don't know what intention the Alliance Master has with this order."

  Fei Biao said: "I'm also just following orders, I really don't know the Alliance Master's intentions, please forgive me, Brother Liu."

  Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Since I have already retired from the Jianghu, I naturally don't need to listen to Zuo Meng's orders anymore. Today is a good opportunity for Fei brother to bear witness for me."

  Fei Bin heard Liu Zhengfeng say this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he chuckled: "Since the Left Alliance Master has repeatedly asked Liu Shixiong to wait, it's also for Liu Shixiong's own good. Why don't we just wait for now?"

  He was so overbearing, and some of the Jianghu people who were originally not very pleased with Liu Zhengfeng's decision to become an official suddenly looked displeased, thinking: "When someone wants to retire from the Jianghu world, you, as the alliance leader, still want to interfere? What a big show of authority."

  But thinking that way, after all, this is an internal matter of the Wu Yue Sword Sect. Outsiders can come to congratulate, but inserting themselves into it would be somewhat overstepping their bounds.

  At this time, Liu Zhengfeng said in a deep voice: "Liu Mou's invitation to wash his hands with a golden basin has already been respectfully sent to Mount Song, and a long letter has also been attached to explain the reasons. The Left Alliance Master had not revealed any movement before, but deliberately blocked it at this moment, isn't that making me ridiculed by heroes all over the world?"

  He's not exaggerating, with so many people from the jianghu here today, he's put on such a show, in the future even if he doesn't retire, he'll already have no face to stand in the jianghu.

  Fei Bin's tone was even more sarcastic this time, raising an eyebrow as he said: "Since the Left Alliance Master has already spoken, it can't be changed. Liu Shixiong's golden basin washing hands today is probably not possible."

  He was saying this when the smell of gunpowder grew stronger.

  Suddenly a voice came from the side, laughing and saying: "Hey, this is indeed a guest from afar, why do you all have such big tempers? Come on, come on, don't be in a hurry, look at me, I'm so scared that my palms are sweating, I need to wash up first. Ah, who was it, yes, you, come over here."

  The speaker was Chen Xiao, he saw the smell of gunpowder getting stronger and stronger, fearing that in a moment Liu Zhengfeng's family would be in danger. Zuo Lengchan was a ruthless master, hesitating for a moment, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he spoke out.

  Anyway, this task can be decided by oneself how to deal with it, following one's own thoughts, of course, is to try to avoid the occurrence of tragedy.

  Chen Xiao was previously well-liked by everyone, Liu Zhengfeng naturally knew this, and so did others. But surprisingly, Da Songyang's Handan Fei had never heard of him before. His face turned gloomy, but he couldn't figure out Chen Xiao's true intentions, so he shut his mouth, wanting to see what kind of trickery Chen Xiao was up to.

  Liu Zhengfeng agreed as soon as Chen Xiao spoke: "Bring some water."

  A servant had already brought over a ordinary basin of water, Chen Xiao washed his hands while laughing: "You all have such big tempers, it's scary, isn't washing one's hands just a small matter? The Buddha said emptiness is form and form is emptiness, this basin is a basin, a golden basin is also a basin, what kind of basin you use to wash your hands doesn't make a difference, come on everyone, let's all go wash our hands..."

  He said that, and the people present, including Yilin, Zhou Ziruo, Shao Shimai Yue Lingshan, and Wang Yuyan sitting next to Duan Yu, all smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

  At this time, the master of Shaolin Temple sitting opposite Chen Xiao joined his palms together and praised: "Amitabha Buddha, Master Chen has a good root of wisdom."

  Mount Song's Zuo Lengchan chose this time to come and stop Jin Pen from washing his hands, I don't know what his purpose is, but it looks like there's always something fishy about him. This master praised Chen Xiao, then immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and also washed it in the water basin.

  Chen Xiao smiled and asked: "May I ask how to address the master?"

  The big monk slowly opened his mouth: "Old robe is bitter."

  He is the junior fellow of the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci, Master Xuan Ku.

  "Ah, long admired, long admired——" Chen Xiao Chong Xuan bitter great master nodded, then holding the basin came to Ding Yi's front, said: "Master also wash a little, refreshing some, this weather is enough to suffocate."

  Ding Yi knew that Chen Xiao was a bit of a jokester, but he had a good heart. At this time, she also felt that the atmosphere on the scene was not quite right. Although she wasn't clear about Chen Xiao's intentions, she thought it couldn't be anything bad. So, with a smile, she also casually splashed some water in the basin, considering herself washed up.

  Liu Zhengfeng looked at Chen Xiao, and suddenly discovered that Chen Xiao turned his head to smile at him, then glanced at the golden basin placed beside him. At this point, he couldn't help but understand what he meant, so he quietly leaned towards the golden basin.
