127: The ceremony ends

“Brother Shan… did you save me?” Feng Lu clutched Liu Jiangyi’s hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Looking at Feng Lu, Liu Jiangyi couldn’t bear to keep deceiving her.

He reached out, removed his disguise, and revealed his true face.

“You… you’re not Brother Shan!?” Feng Lu exclaimed in shock, “Where’s Brother Shan? What did you do to Brother Shan?”

Liu Jiangyi smiled bitterly, “Don’t worry, Liu Shan was just knocked unconscious by me. His life isn’t in danger. I can take you to him.”

Hearing this, Feng Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then who are you? Why did you impersonate Brother Shan?”

“I can’t tell you who I am, and I can’t tell you why I impersonated him. But you absolutely must not reveal that I am not Liu Shan, or else I’ll have no choice but to silence you forever, and Liu Shan forever.”

Liu Jiangyi had to resort to threats.

Feng Lu was indeed panicked. “No! Don’t hurt Brother Shan!”

As expected.

Deep in her heart, Liu Shan’s life was more important than her own.

“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t speak carelessly, I won’t harm either of you.”

Feng Lu nodded, “I was wondering why Brother Shan suddenly became so powerful and even knew medical arts. So it wasn’t him at all…”

Liu Jiangyi chuckled, “I didn’t expect you to be so devoted. Are you playing both sides with your brother?”

“You and Liu Shan must be quite in love, right?”

“It’s a good thing I didn’t kill that Liu Shan, otherwise, mistakenly killing a good person would indeed be a pity.”

As he spoke.

Feng Lu, however, lowered her head and said nothing.

After a while, Feng Lu changed the subject, “Can you take me to Brother Shan?”

“Of course, but you’ll have to hide him. I still need his face before I leave Hantie City.”

“Okay, I promise you.”

Liu Jiangyi nodded and stood up. Just before leaving, Liu Jiangyi thought of something and turned back to ask, “Why did you take the blow for that trash Feng Zhiyuan?”

Feng Lu’s face showed sadness. “Although he wasn’t good to me, he… is my biological brother after all.”

Liu Jiangyi’s heart trembled.

This Feng Lu was truly a good person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

Liu Jiangyi took a deep breath and stepped out the door.

“How is it?”

Li Changsheng was the first to rush forward and ask anxiously.

Feng Lu had good talent, and he didn’t want to see her die like this.

Liu Jiangyi smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, she’s out of danger and will fully recover in a while.”

Hearing this.

Li Changsheng, along with everyone around, looked shocked!

They couldn’t believe that Liu Jiangyi, whom they all thought little of, was not only powerful but also a top doctor?

They had all seen Feng Lu’s injuries with their own eyes.

Those were severe injuries that even people from the Medical Sage Institute might not have been able to treat.

The fact that Liu Jiangyi could cure her meant that his medical skills were completely on par with the top divine doctors of the Medical Sage Institute!

Young, powerful, and astonishing medical skills!

With all these labels combined, who would dare to look down on Liu Jiangyi now?

At this moment.

Feng Lu also walked out.

She had changed her clothes and could now walk without hindrance, though her complexion was still a bit pale.

Seeing her come out, everyone’s hanging hearts finally settled.

Feng Lu saw everyone’s concern for her and couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.

She bowed to everyone, “Thank you all for your concern, thank you…”

“Miss Feng, there’s no need. You are a person of great righteousness. You shouldn’t have died.”

“Miss Feng’s talent is astonishing, and she values loyalty and righteousness. This is a blessing for our Hantie City!”

“…”

Li Changsheng waved his hand to silence everyone.

“Everyone, although there were some unexpected incidents during this Sermon Ceremony, it ultimately concluded successfully.”

“Feng Zhiyuan’s qualification is canceled due to his early departure. I will now announce the ranking list for this Sermon Ceremony.”

“First place, Liu Shan! Second place, Feng Lu, Third place, Zhang Tie, Fourth place…”

“According to the usual rules, the top ten in each competition will receive different rewards. Please, those who made it into the top ten, come up to receive your awards.”

Hearing this, those who entered the top ten excitedly stepped forward.

The others shook their heads and sighed.

Especially the woman who got eleventh place, she was so angry she burst into tears.

She was only a tiny bit of points behind the tenth place!

If only she had performed a little bit better, the tenth place would have been hers!

The crowd below looked at the ten people on stage, all with envy.

After the people on stage came up, they first greeted Li Changsheng, and then one after another, they went to Liu Jiangyi to cup their fists and bow.

“Brother Liu, I apologize. My words earlier were quite offensive, I…”

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu, on achieving the top spot! Your victory was truly what we all hoped for!”

“Thank you for saving Young Miss Liu. She is a good person and shouldn’t have to pay for her brother’s mistakes.”

“Brother Liu is young and accomplished, truly a Dragon among men and a Phoenix among women. This is my business card. I have a younger sister who is not yet married, what do you think…”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, this millennium spirit plant was something I obtained by chance. You are a doctor, and this item will surely serve a greater purpose in your hands. You must accept it, and I hope for your continued care in the future…”

“…”

The crowd was incredibly enthusiastic, coming forward to flatter him.

Where was the previous sarcasm and disdain?

After the first person offered a gift and flattered him, others also offered gifts.

Liu Jiangyi naturally accepted them all without refusal.

Why wouldn’t he take freebies? Wouldn’t that be foolish?

After a long time.

It was Li Changsheng who intervened, finally making the crowd quiet down.

Then came the reward distribution segment.

Those from fourth to tenth place received Medicinal Pill rewards.

Based on their ranking, the quantity and quality of the Medicinal Pills differed.

The top three all received Cultivation Techniques.

Third place received a fourth-tier Cultivation Technique, second place a fifth-tier Cultivation Technique, and first place surprisingly received a sixth-tier Cultivation Technique!

This Cultivation Technique was called the Thunder Summoning Art.

Liu Jiangyi briefly looked at it and found that this Cultivation Technique was actually one that summoned heavenly thunder.

Minor Achievement in Cultivation could summon one heavenly thunder, while Major Achievement in Cultivation could simultaneously summon over a dozen heavenly thunders, which was terrifying!

However, Liu Jiangyi was somewhat disappointed.

His talent was terrible, beyond hopeless. It was completely impossible for him to Cultivate and learn Cultivation Techniques on his own. What was the point?

【Ding! Host, please do not question the System. The System’s intelligence is the Host’s intelligence. You just need to bravely Cultivate, and leave the rest to the System, OK?】

Liu Jiangyi: ???

Holy crap!

This darn System could even retort now?

But Liu Jiangyi was still overjoyed!

Since the System said so, wasn’t he about to take off?

Liu Jiangyi happily put away the Cultivation Technique, bowed, and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother Li.”

“You’re welcome, this is what you deserve.” Li Changsheng smiled, “According to the rules, you also have the Opportunity to go to the Immortal Sword Sect to bathe in the Spirit Spring. When do you have time to go to the Immortal Sword Sect?”

Liu Jiangyi really wanted to say he could go now.

But remembering his promise to Feng Lu, Liu Jiangyi changed his wording, “How about tomorrow?”

“Of course, that works. Cleaning up here will also take a day, so how about we meet here tomorrow morning?”
