No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? Chapter 185

Chapter 185 - The Ten Nations Grand Tournament begins! Heavenly Heart Mystic Realm

In One-Line Sky.

It was no wonder Li Yu had such an intense reaction.

The main thing was that when Fairy Zi Shuang said that the words were written by Householder Qing Lian, Li Yu was dumbfounded.

In the end, Chen Hongfei claimed that he knew Householder Qing Lian, which made Li Yu feel… very speechless.

Li Yu wouldn’t have been that shocked even if he said that he knew the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After all, Chen Hongfei was a supreme genius of the Chen Nation and it wouldn’t be unreasonable for him to know some people.

However, the problem was that he said that he knew Householder Qing Lian.

Householder Qing Lian was seated right beside him.

‘You two share a close relationship and are like brothers?’

‘You’re already almost getting into a fight with each other and you call that a close relationship?’

‘Are you lying to me?’

“What’s the matter? Do you think I’d lie?”

Chen Hongfei’s face was a little aloof and sullen.

However, he was somehow panicky deep down. After all, he did not know any Householder Qing Lian.

However, after hearing Li Yu’s words, Chen Hongfei felt that Li Yu seemed to know Householder Qing Lian. He wasn’t a fool after all.

‘So what if he knows?’

‘Well, Householder Qing Lian definitely has more than one friend.’

“Uh…”

Li Yu did not know what to say. He glanced at Ye Ping, followed by Chen Hongfei.

All of a sudden, Li Yu did not know whether he wanted to expose Chen Hongfei or not.

To be honest, Li Yu really wanted to expose him, but after considering a few points, he stayed silent for a while.

The first reason was that there was a literary assessment in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament this time, and if he revealed that Ye Ping was Householder Qing Lian, he would be exposing Ye Ping’s trump card.

Secondly, Ye Ping didn’t like showing off using his reputation.

The third and most important reason was that he didn’t know how to prove that Ye Ping was Householder Qing Lian.

He couldn’t possibly take out the seal and then claim that Ye Ping was Householder Qing Lian.

It was very difficult to explain, so Li Yu was at a loss for words.

At this moment, Ye Ping coughed slightly. He did not say anything but it was obvious what he meant. He wanted Li Yu to sit down and not reveal his identity.

Ye Ping indeed didn’t like making a big issue out of his identity as Householder Qing Lian. Besides, he also didn’t want to get embroiled in any trouble.

So what if he exposed Chen Hongfei?

Firstly, Chen Hongfei definitely wouldn’t admit that he was Householder Qing Lian.

Besides, even if he could really prove that he was Householder Qing Lian, Chen Hongfei would definitely not let the matter go because he would have embarrassed himself in front of Fairy Zi Shuang. By then, there would definitely be a fight.

He wouldn’t be scared of getting into a fight. He reckoned that Chen Hongfei would certainly lose anyway.

However, if Chen Hongfei lost, he would definitely get some people to come over so that he could regain his pride.

By then, a battle would break out but Ye Ping was confident that he would win.

But what would he get in the end?

Not only would he form a feud with someone, the problem was that he would not obtain any benefits.

In fact, if the Wei Nation intervened, took pity on the weak, and made Ye Ping or Huangfu Tianlong apologize to Chen Hongfei, the prideful Huangfu Tianlong definitely wouldn’t apologize.

Ye Ping obviously wouldn’t too.

What would happen then? He might hit the envoy of the Wei Nation too.

What would happen after the fight? Once he offended the cultivators of Wei Nation, the envoys of the Ten Nations Academy would certainly intervene.

After all, Wei Nation was hosting the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, and if in the end, the cultivators of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament failed to suppress the students, the Ten Nations Academy would certainly intervene and give some help too.

Once they helped, there would be a battle against the Ten Nations Academy again.

After fighting back and forth, the Great Xia Dynasty Academy might even end up having to send people over.

The plot would be exciting then.

Ye Ping felt that if he had to write a book about it, he would reach a word count of at least 200,000.

Hence, Ye Ping told Li Yu not to spout any nonsense and just sit there quietly to sip on some wine.

Li Yu stopped speaking.

Chen Hongfei immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that Li Yu might have known Householder Qing Lian. At the thought of this, Chen Hongfei continued to speak.

“Hey, speaking of Brother Qing Lian, I can’t help but think of something he said to me when I was drinking and chatting with him the other day.”

“Brother Qing Lian said that he might be slightly more talented than me, but I’m worlds apart from him in terms of cultivation. If I can study some books, I will surpass him.”

“At that time, when I heard this, I immediately shook my head repeatedly. Although I’m much better than brother Qing Lian in cultivation, I understand that he is very talented.”

“So, I denied it and said that he was a true literati. However, Brother Qing Lian took my hand and sighed while saying that talent didn’t mean anything. He said that I’m way better looking than him and that he can only spend his life writing poems.”

“Ah, Brother Qing Lian is such an understanding person. That’s perhaps the reason that he can write such beautiful poems.”

Chen Hongfei was making up lies along the way, making everyone frown at his words.

They found it incredible, but Chen Hongfei sounded rather sincere and earnest. Besides, coupled with his identity, everyone couldn’t help but suspect that Chen Hongfei was lying.

However, Li Yu hung his head low while leaning to the side.

Ye Ping’s face was a little sullen.

Forget it that Chen Hongfei was bragging, but he couldn’t tolerate the fact that Chen Hongfei said that he was much better looking than Ye Ping.

However, Huangfu Tianlong, who was at the side, couldn’t help but humph coldly.

“He’s not a tenth as handsome as you? It seems Householder Qing Lian must really be ugly then.”

“It’s no wonder that he doesn’t dare to come out and meet everyone else, right?”

“Senior Brother Ye, why do you look so sullen?”

“Fellow Daoist Li, why do you keep shivering while hanging your head low? Do you feel very cold?”

Huangfu Tianlong took a sip of wine and searched for the right opportunity to be sarcastic to him.

However, after saying that, he discovered that Ye Ping’s face had become rather sullen while Li Yu started shivering even more vigorously.

“Ignorant.”

Chen Hongfei humphed coldly and then remarked in displeasure.

“Brother Qing Lian is refined and talented. He just likes being modest on the surface. Besides, he’s a literati who has high attainments in literature although he lacks talent in cultivation.”

“If nothing goes wrong, Brother Qing Lian would probably be certified as a great Confucian, and by then, he will be able to suppress you with a single word. Even if there are ten of you, you will be inferior to him.”

Chen Hongfei said with a look of determination.

He did not know the level of Householder Qing Lian at all, but for the sake of impressing his goddess and to make it seem like he was an elite, he decided to brag.

Huangfu Tianlong was displeased after hearing his words.

“Hah, he can slash an immortal just by saying a few words? Not to mention how difficult it is to become a Confucian. Even if he does become one, I can smack him dead.”

Huangfu Tianlong said seriously.

However, at this moment, Li Yu tugged Huangfu Tianlong’s sleeve.

As soon as he got a grip on his emotions, he said, “Fellow Daoist Huangfu, to be fair, a single smack is not going to kill him.”

Li Yu said.

Huangfu Tianlong couldn’t help but be stunned.

After hearing his words, Chen Hongfei couldn’t help but seem even more smug.

“It seems that you still have a sensible person beside you. Forget it, I can’t be bothered to fight with such a boor like you. Let’s continue listening to the performance.”

Chen Hongfei did not want to continue arguing either, lest he disrupted Fairy Zi Shuang’s mood.

“Fellow Daoist Li, why did you help the outsiders instead of me? Senior Brother Ye, you have to make a fair comment about this.”

“Senior Brother Ye, why has your face become darker? Who offended you? Is it Chen Hongfei? Do you want me to beat him up now?”

Huangfu Tianlong said seriously.

Li Yu pulled Huangfu Tianlong and then said, “Brother Huangfu, stop talking, let’s go back and chat.”

Li Yu wanted to pull Huangfu Tianlong away.

Ye Ping also got up and left.

He didn’t leave because he was angry, he just didn’t want to stay here anymore because he felt that it was pointless and that it would be better to go back and start preparing for the Ten Nations Grand Tournament that would be happening tomorrow.

As soon as Ye Ping left, Huangfu Tianlong immediately followed Ye Ping and so did Li Yu. The trio directly disappeared in the courtyard.

However, after Ye Ping left, Fairy Zi Shuang continued to ask about Householder Qing Lian in the pavilion.

On the other hand, Chen Hongfei continued to rattle on and on about the interesting experiences that he had with Householder Qing Lian. Anyway, he just had to make them up.

In the distance.

After having left the courtyard, Ye Ping and the other two went to the residence to rest.

There were hundreds of gardens of various sizes in One-Line Sky, which was the most luxurious restaurant in Wei Nation. It covered an area of thousands of acres, with lots of residences for lodging.

It was extremely luxurious and beyond imaginable for the poor.

On the other hand, in the courtyard of the residence, Huangfu Tianlong was looking at Li Yu in confusion.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I know that you’re the crown prince of Jin Nation and that Householder Qing Lian is also from Jin Nation but you can’t be that biased to him. You have to be impartial. People tend to choose family over reason but you chose neither.”

Huangfu Tianlong was a straightforward person and still bore a grudge for what happened just now.

However, Li Yu seemed to be caught between laughter and tears.

He looked at Huangfu Tianlong and said, “Fellow Daoist Huangfu, cut it out, you really can’t beat Householder Qing Lian.”

Li Yu said.

“Who said that? If he becomes a great Confucian, he’ll only be protected by the aura of a literati. I’m not a heretic. Even if he’s upright, so what? Can he really suppress me with his words?”

Huangfu Tianlong himself was a fan of battles to begin with, and he could accept all criticism except those who doubt his abilities.

“Don’t say that. You won’t be a match for Householder Qing Lian even if he doesn’t become a Great Confucian.”

Li Yu continued.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you’re looking down on me, that Householder Qing Lian can’t be a thousand-year-old demon, can he?”

Huangfu Tianlong didn’t believe him at all.

If he really became a Great Confucian, it would be uncertain because he would have a righteous aura and possess great power. However, he could easily kill those who did not become Confucians.

“He’s not that old, just a few years older than you are.”

Li Yu continued.

“A few years older? Brother Li, I’m not boasting but there are less than 20 people in the Ten Nations who can defeat me. Now that I have broken through to the seventh level, there are no more than five who can.”

Huangfu Tianlong said with unparalleled confidence.

However, soon, Huangfu Tianlong frowned and asked, “Do you know Householder Qing Lian?”

He finally sensed that something was amiss.

“Yes, I know him very well. You know him too.”

Li Yu nodded, reminding Huangfu Tianlong.

“I know him too?”

In an instant, Huangfu Tianlong was a little surprised.

However, in the next moment, Huangfu Tianlong couldn’t help but look at Ye Ping before looking at Li Yu in shock. His eyes were full of bewilderment.

“Yes, my master is Householder Qing Lian.”

Li Yu nodded.

“What?”

“Senior Brother Ye, are you Householder Qing Lian?”

“You’re having me on, aren’t you?”

In an instant, Huangfu Tianlong was confused.

He never thought that Ye Ping would be the Householder Qing Lian.

However, after realizing that neither Li Yu nor Ye Ping was speaking, Huangfu Tianlong immediately believed him.

At this moment, Huangfu Tianlong not only believed him, but also completely understood why Li Yu said he could not beat Householder Qing Lian.

He really couldn’t defeat Ye Ping.

In addition, Huangfu Tianlong also finally understood why Ye Ping looked sullen previously.

However, Huangfu Tianlong was filled with curiosity and puzzlement.

“Senior Brother Ye, since you’re Householder Qing Lian, why didn’t you just expose him?”

Huangfu Tianlong looked at Ye Ping, his eyes full of doubts.

“Enough, it’s just Chen Hongfei, what’s the point of being so uptight with him?”

Ye Ping poured Huangfu Tianlong and Li Yu each a cup of tea, and then slowly spoke.

“Junior Brother Huangfu, Li Yu, bear this in mind. My Eldest Senior Brother said before that a true powerhouse is not only strong, he also has broad horizons.”

“Especially you, Li Yu, you are the crown prince of the Jin Nation. You can have no cultivation and no talent, but you must have broad horizons and the vision to see and think about what others can’t.”

“Junior Brother Huangfu, you too. Don’t react so exaggeratedly whenever you meet someone. What can you get out of fighting with someone like that? Even if you beat him up, is he going to beg for mercy?”

“Even if he begs for forgiveness, will you really be happy?”

Ye Ping looked at Huangfu Tianlong.

“Yes. ”

Huangfu Tianlong nodded seriously.

Ye Ping was speechless.

‘Horrible. I won’t talk anymore.”

Ye Ping drank some tea and continued.

“It’s the Ten Nations Grand Tournament tomorrow, let’s talk about that.”

Ye Ping did not want to talk about horizons and what not any longer because he felt that it was pointless as it was just like talking to a wall.

However, Huangfu Tianlong couldn’t help but look a little downcast at the mention of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.

“Senior Brother Ye, don’t mention the Ten Nations Grand Tournament anymore. I’ve already prepared for it thoroughly but I didn’t expect there to be no martial arts battle. I can accept that but the worst is that there’s a literary exam too.”

“I spent yesterday reading books. Although I remember them clearly, the issue is that the literary test of the Ten Nations definitely won’t be as simple as writing an essay. I’m really troubled now.”

Huangfu Tianlong looked a little upset.

“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, you don’t have to be upset. You might think it’s difficult but so do others. The literary test might be the final assessment, but even if you do not pass the test, it doesn’t matter. If everyone fails, there won’t be a ranking.”

Li Yu comforted Huangfu Tianlong.

After hearing his words, Huangfu Tianlong was stunned and he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?”

Huangfu Tianlong immediately felt that his mind was clear.

Ye Ping could not help but be surprised after hearing Li Yu’s words.

Well, because Li Yu made sense.

In an exam, everyone failing together was the same as everyone passing together.

“Actually, there is nothing to worry about in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament this time.”

“The first round is the mystic realm assessment. I wonder what kind of an assessment it is!”

“However, no matter what kind of mystic realm it is, it will be related to willpower and essence soul. Master, Fellow Daoist Huangfu, you two are physical cultivators with strong willpower. You won’t have any problems with passing this round.”

“The second round is the physical body tower. That’s a giveaway.”

“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, you’ll be at a disadvantage for the third round but that will not affect your overall performance. However, Master, it’s different for you. You’re so talented, the third round must have been custom-made for you. When the time comes, you will impress everyone and rise to fame. You can even easily defeat Chen Hongfei. You’ll kill three birds with one stone and profit greatly.”

Li Yu excitedly depicted the future prospects.

Huangfu Tianlong listened and couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.

‘Kill three birds with one stone?’

He was curious but did not voice his doubts.

“Don’t be overly idealistic. There are hidden experts everywhere in the Ten Nations. Junior Brother Huangfu, you’d better seize the time and read more books. Li Yu, go get some rest too. I plan to rest and rejuvenate.”

Ye Ping got up.

He would never be overly idealistic and he thought that having a sense of crisis was a good thing. At the very least, it would ensure that one did not become too arrogant.

“Yes, the mystic realm trial starts at noon tomorrow. I’ll come see you two hours in advance, Senior Brother Ye.”

Huangfu Tianlong nodded. He was indeed going to read books. Although he didn’t like it, he would still delve into it and try not to do too badly on the test.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Ye Ping nodded, got up, and went back to his room to rest. For some reason, he felt sleepy.

Li Yu also did not say anything more as he simply stretched with some fatigue in his eyes and planned to go back to sleep.

Huangfu Tianlong drank a mouthful of tea and perked up a little. Since there was a library in One-Line Sky, he decided to go there to read some books.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Knock-knock.

In the room, Ye Ping slowly opened his eyes after hearing a knock on the door.

He looked outside the room.

It was… Huangfu Tianlong.

“Senior Brother Ye, it’s time to go.”

Huangfu Tianlong spoke again.

Ye Ping immediately got up and opened the door of the room.

When Ye Ping opened the door of the room, Huangfu Tianlong walked in and poured himself a cup of tea.

“Senior Brother Ye, do you feel sleepy?”

Huangfu Tianlong seemed a little tired.

“A little, but after sleeping for a while, I feel much better. Maybe, there’s something like a tranquilizing incense in One-Line Sky or something. It’s still quite early, why don’t you get some rest before we set off?”

Ye Ping also felt a little tired but it wouldn’t affect him much.

“Nah, maybe I’m just too nervous, Senior Brother Ye, let’s go.”

Huangfu Tianlong shook his head.

“Where’s Li Yu?”

Ye Ping asked.

“Probably still sleeping, I’ll go get him.”

Huangfu Tianlong was not sure and intended to go look for Li Yu.

“Forget it, no need to wake him up, let him have a good sleep.”

Ye Ping shook his head.

He then left together with Huangfu Tianlong.

At this moment, the sky was still dark.

However, there was already a huge uproar in the capital of Wei Nation.

One by one, the elites walked out of One-Line Sky, all full of energy and vigor.

There were countless cultivators on both sides of the main road outside One-Line Sky.

As soon as someone stepped out, it immediately led to a burst of chatter.

“Look, that’s Zhang Song from the Li Nation Academy.”

“That’s Ma Yue, the elite of Chen Nation.”

“That’s Li Chen, the elite of Yan Nation.”

“Oh my god, Duanxiao You is here too? Duanxiao You is one of the three most famous elites of Qing Nation, alongside Duanxiao Ye and Duanxiao Tong. Duanxiao Tong is considered the best.”

Everyone was discussing and they would make comments about each elite that walked out.

However, after Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong appeared, there was a huge commotion.

“It’s Huangfu Tianlong, look guys, Huangfu Tianlong.”

“Huangfu Tianlong? Is it the genius who defeated everyone in the Ten Nations?”

“He didn’t defeat everyone, didn’t he lose in Jin Nation?”

“Yes, he lost to the man beside him in Jin Nation.”

“Look guys, it’s Ye Ping, the top elite of Jin Nation.”

Everyone discussed excitedly.

As soon as Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong appeared, they gained a lot of popularity.

Huangfu Tianlong looked just like a heavenly god in the world, and he looked especially eye-catching with a head full of golden hair.

Ye Ping was like an Itinerant Immortal who was handsome and incredibly elegant as he attracted gazes of admiration and adoration from countless women.

Figures appeared.

They walked on the main road.

They were heading to the mystic realm trial of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.

Soon, Ye Ping and Huangfu Tianlong arrived at the venue of the trial.

In the northern district of the capital of Wei Nation, there was a peculiar array pattern that was emitting a light.

The array pattern was peculiar and looked rather complex and beautiful.

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

“Heavenly Heart Illusory Array? How can it be this kind of array formation? This is the assessment of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, did they make a mistake?”

As his voice sounded, it resulted in an uproar.

Ye Ping couldn’t help but be shocked immediately.

‘Heavenly Heart Illusory Array?’
