"Ha ha… "
On the ring stage, the five of Liu Zijin were panting heavily, and the hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking, it could be seen that they had tried their best.
Wu Qingce, who was surrounded by them, also felt a little uncomfortable.
This time he agreed to compete with Liu Zijin and the other five in the ring at the same time. Originally, he thought that this competition would be as easy and enjoyable as before, but he didn't expect that the five sisters, led by Liu Zijin, would form a thunder formation to suppress his thunder aura.
This made Wu Qingce sure of one thing, that is, these five people absolutely took him as their imaginary enemy when practicing on weekdays.
In the subsequent competitions, the several rounds of attacks by Liu Zijin and the others also confirmed this point again and again.
Wu Qingce could even imagine these five people gathering together to discuss when he made a certain move, which one of them would be responsible for resisting, which one would be responsible for interfering, and which one would be responsible for counterattacking.
"These five people are here to help me find loopholes in my exercises..."
After a fierce battle, although Wu Qingce still had the upper hand with absolute strength, Liu Zijin and the others were still able to attack him several times despite the large difference in strength, which still made Wu Qingce sweat. .
"Thank you Wu Qinggang for teaching me."
At the end of the competition, Liu Zijin and the five of them clasped their swords together and said to Wu Qingce.
"I have also benefited a lot from this discussion. I have to thank the junior sisters." Wu Qingce returned a salute.
Once again bowed to Wu Qingce and saluted, the five sisters retreated to the ring and went to discuss with Yu Manwen. During the discussion, the five of them raised their heads to look at him from time to time, their eyes full of firm determination to beat you next time .
The corners of his mouth twitched. Although Wu Qingce wanted to go forward and ask them why they were so obsessed with defeating him, he felt that they were unlikely to tell him the truth, so let it go. It's a good thing to say.
"This Wu Qingce is indeed the best among the young disciples. If you want to win him, you still need to further improve your cultivation, otherwise you can't really pose a threat to him just by tactics." Yu Manwen looked at Liu Zijin they said.
After hearing this, Liu Zijin said helplessly: "Master, we have really been cultivating very hard, but Wu Qinggang's cultivation base is improving faster. Doesn't it mean that the higher the cultivation base, the more difficult it is to improve? On Wu Qinggang I didn't see any signs of that at all."
Yu Manwen nodded with a strange expression on his face: "His growth rate is indeed a bit too amazing, and what makes him powerful is not only because he is the suzerain's direct disciple, because his moves are not all from the Guixin sect. Maybe he has some special adventures outside the sect."
While speaking, a handsome face suddenly appeared in Yu Manwen's mind.
'Is it really him? '
Ever since she realized that Jiang Beiran had a strange feeling when she mentioned Wu Qingce last time, Yu Manwen had paid close attention to Wu Qingce. The reason why she agreed to Liu Zijin's special training for them and came to the ring to watch it was because Want to further confirm this idea.
Now that she saw Wu Qingce's strength far surpassing that of her peers, Yu Manwen felt more and more that there must be some connection between Wu Qingce and Jiang Beiran, although she had no substantial evidence.
"Oh, Wu Qinggang is really amazing... Sister Zijin clearly attracted his attention just now, but when I drew the sword, a locust stone hit my hand at once. I thought that sword would definitely hit him." Seeing Master lost in thought, Yu Guijuan said with emotion.
Yu Guimiao on the side also nodded again and again, agreeing: "Yeah, he's really strong. If Wu Qing just gets serious, it might be hard to find even his one-on-one enemy in the Guixin Sect, right?"
After listening to this sentence, Yu Guishui retorted subconsciously: "I think that if senior brother finds a suitable exercise, he will definitely surpass Wu Qinggang very quickly!"
Yu Guimiao and Yu Guijuan couldn't help being taken aback after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at their sister with a teasing look.
"Yes yes yes ~ senior brother is of course the most powerful, I forgot to add other than senior brother just now, sister, don't be angry." Yu Guimiao said with a smile.
"I... I'm not angry, I just correct you." Yu Guishui blushed a little.
Then Yu Guijuan also took Yu Guishui's arm and said, "Senior brother is of course number one in the world. This is our consensus, so we didn't put them on the same level as our little disciples when we talked, sister, you Don't worry~"
"Why am I in such a hurry!" Yu Guishui said with a sidelong glance at Yu Guishui.
Seeing her sister's gaffe, Yu Guizhen couldn't help feeling that her brother's charm was too great. The three of them grew up together. She had never seen her sister care so much about someone, even talking about things that had nothing to do with him. When talking about the topic, my sister would jump out to defend him in a hurry. If it were the same as before, she would never dare to imagine it.
Moreover, since the return of Yanyuezong, the tacit understanding between them has declined in a certain sense, because the elder sister would sit in a daze from time to time, although she knew that her elder sister must be thinking about her senior brother, but she still couldn't produce this kind of feeling Resonance, which has never appeared between their sisters.
'We must help my sister defeat Wu Qinggang! Help her and her senior brother create opportunities! '
But when Yu Guijun was teasing his sister, their words caused a white light to flash in Yu Manwen's mind.
'Yup! This Wu Qingce is what I imagine Jiang Beiran should look like! '
Ever since he came into contact with Jiang Beiran, Yu Manwen always felt that he couldn't see through him at all, but he knew in his heart that he must not only want to be a registered disciple like he showed.
In the more frequent contact afterwards, Yu Manwen discovered that Jiang Beiran was able to express unique opinions on everything except cultivation, and would show her ability to surprise her from time to time, just like a treasure cave Usually, just when you think you have dug to the bottom, new treasures will appear.
This made Yu Manwen feel more and more that Jiang Beiran shouldn't just be so talentless in cultivation.
Now that she heard what the sisters of the Yu family said, she suddenly understood why she always wanted to associate Jiang Beiran with Wu Qingce.
Because everything that Wu Qingce showed was what Yu Manwen imagined Jiang Beiran should be like, completely crushing his peers, showing a unique and peerless talent, and amazed everyone.
'So in my subconscious mind, I have always regarded Wu Qingce as Jiang Beiran's spokesperson... That's why I always pay attention to him. '
After trying to understand this, Yu Manwen looked at Liu Zijin who was wiping away his sweat and asked, "Zijin, I haven't asked before, but I'm a little curious now, why are you suddenly so obsessed with defeating Wu Qinggang?"
Liu Zijin was taken aback after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, she leaned into Yu Manwen's ear and whispered, "Yes... it's what senior brother said, as long as we become the best disciples of Guixin Sect, then... just..."
Hearing this, Yu Manwen understood everything in an instant.
'This Beiran... is too cruel. '
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping Liu Zijin's forehead, Yu Manwen smiled and said, "You don't need to go on, I understand everything."
"Hey..." Liu Zijin lowered her head and smiled shyly.
Seeing Liu Zijin's cute appearance, Yu Manwen couldn't help poking her forehead with her finger, and then said to the others: "Okay, you go to eat first, and I will teach you how to catch Wu Qinggang in the afternoon." weakness."
Yu Manwen didn't lower his voice at all when he spoke, which made Wu Qingce, who was wiping his sword next to him, tremble. When he turned around, he found that Protector Yu was looking at him with interest.
'what's the situation! ? Come again! ? '
He could feel that Guardian Yu's eyes were similar to those of Liu Zijin and the others, that is, although Liu Zijin and the others seemed to be aiming at him, they actually just wanted to achieve another goal by defeating him.
And the same goes for guardians...
'Next time I'll ask my brother, but brother, when will you come back...'
After wiping off their sweat, Liu Zijin and the others bid farewell to Master and went to the cafeteria together. They ordered a table of their favorite dishes, and the five of them sat down and ate happily.
Although they still didn't beat Wu Qinggang today, they all felt that they had seen their chance.
Just when they were planning to go to the master to practice immediately after eating, the conversation between the two disciples at the back table came to their ears.
"Hey, did you hear something interesting?"
"what?"
"The emperor of Sheng Kingdom has stepped down."
"Oh, just download it, what does it have to do with us?"
"Guess who the new emperor is."
"Whoever he is, he can't control me anyway."
"Guess, I guarantee you won't think of it."
"You didn't give me any reminder, of course I couldn't think of it."
"Okay, then let me give you a hint, this person is a disciple of our decent sect."
"what!?"
"Hey, you're scared."
"What's going on? I remember that cultivators can't be emperors, right? Isn't the emperor just in charge of the common people? Why do we let the cultivators go? It won't be that the emperor will be able to govern us cultivators in the future, right?"
"Ham, where are you thinking, how could the emperor control us cultivators, let me give you another reminder, this emperor is still in our sect."
"Pfft! And this!?"
"Now you guess who it is."
"Hiss...don't hold your breath, who would have guessed that."
"It's boring, okay, then I will announce the answer. The emperor's name is Jiang Beiran, and he is a disciple of Lan Xintang. Before..."
"Puff! Cough cough...cough cough!"
Just when the disciple was about to talk about Jiang Beiran's deeds, Fang Qiuyao choked on the noodles and coughed non-stop.
All the brothers around hurriedly came forward to ask their relatives, handing papers and handkerchiefs.
After declining one by one, Fang Qiuyao took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then quickly looked at Sister Zijin, and found her expression was also surprised.
"I... Did I hear you right?" Fang Qiuyao asked in a low voice.
Liu Zijin didn't answer first, but looked at the three sisters of the Yu family, and found that their eyes were also wide-eyed.
"Since we heard correctly... then it should be."
Just now, after Fang Qiuyao declined the handkerchief when he was talking about Jiang Beiran becoming the emperor, the disciple sat back in his seat and gnawed on the steamed bun in a bit of disappointment.
'Go on! '
Liu Zijin and the other five shouted in their hearts at the same time.
But that person naturally couldn't hear Liu Zijin and the others' voices, and continued to eat steamed buns on his own.
At this time, the male disciple who heard half of it just now couldn't help asking: "Go on, how did Jiang Beiran become the emperor?"
"Good question!"
Liu Zijin and the other five praised him in their hearts at the same time.
At this moment, the disciple who gnawed the steamed bun came back to his senses and said, "I don't know how to be the one. I remember that the suzerain also praised him at the previous celebration. It seems that he won the first prize in the Go event."
"How is his cultivation?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be very strong, otherwise I wouldn't have never heard of it."
"Could it be that he was sent to be the emperor because he had no cultivation talent?"
"It's possible."
"Hey, how do you know this?"
"Oh, didn't I go down the mountain for a test two days ago? When I passed by a village, I heard an old man saying that there is a new emperor in Sheng Kingdom. He is a good emperor. He just wanted to give out the almanac to the people as soon as he took the throne."
"Is it a good emperor to send out the almanac?"
"You don't know? The emperor hasn't distributed the almanac to the common people for decades."
"I don't know, anyway, my family has it every year."
"Later, I curiously asked what the new emperor's name was. The old man said his name was Jiang Beiran, and the village chief had informed him from door to door. As soon as I heard Jiang Beiran's name, I felt familiar. When I came back, I found out that it was Jiang Beiran. It’s really ours.”
"There are such strange things... Then when did Jiang Beiran go? It seems that the suzerain has never heard of it."
"Being an emperor, it's not like Wu Qinggang who broke through to become a great mystic at the age of 20. It's not worth mentioning by the suzerain."
"That's right, the disciple of the sect is going to be the emperor... Doesn't this mean that the sect master thinks that he has no talent for cultivation, and it is actually quite miserable."
"It's not that miserable. Although you can't practice, there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"Hahaha, that's true, but after all, they are still ordinary people, boring, boring."
"Qiu Yao... Qiu Yao..."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Fang Qiuyao, who was in a daze, turned her head to look at Sister Zijin.
Liu Zijin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your chopsticks are about to be broken by you."
Fang Qiuyao blushed and relaxed her grip.
Hearing that the two male disciples in the back quickly chatted about other topics, the five of them who had no intention of eating left the cafeteria in a hurry, and the expressions of the five of them on the way were extremely solemn.
"I remember that senior brother was still in Zongli during the winter solstice, why... why did he suddenly become the emperor." Yu Guijuan spoke first.
"What are the three thousand beauties they mentioned just now?" Yu Guimiao asked curiously.
After hearing this, Liu Zijin frowned even tighter, and even breathed a lot faster.
Seeing this, Fang Qiuyao forced herself to be calm and said, "I'm still not sure whether the matter is true or not, so go ask Master first."
"Um!"
The five nodded in unison.
