"Xu Qiancheng from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, please teach me!"
The unruly young man swept his sword across and jumped onto the stage. The others who were being mocked by the crowd had just raised their feet when they were pushed back by the sword energy.
The male cultivator on the ring swallowed his saliva. Why didn't this go according to the routine
Sword shadows flew, screams were heard, and the monks who wanted to take advantage of the chaos were beaten up and down by Xu Qiancheng.
Jiang Yuebai couldn't bear to watch, Qi Ming laughed and said, "Just now there was a guy over there who started by making a lot of noise to attract others to come up, and then took advantage of the chaos to fight five or six people and defeated them. I don't know who came up with this method, it's a bit despicable, but it's very effective."
Jiang Yuebai said seriously, "It must be a very smart person who came up with this idea, but you need to be strong to do this, otherwise... you will capsize!"
The man had been knocked off the ring by Xu Qiancheng, his skin was torn and he was lying on the ground screaming. A bunch of people around him were cursing at him and saying he deserved it.
"Xu Qiancheng, you idiot! I told you not to reveal your name, but you acted so arrogantly! Why don't you get off now?"
Xu Qiancheng's elder sister Xu Qianjin put her hands on her hips and cursed angrily below.
Seeing this, Qi Ming said to Jiang Yuebai, "In fact, there are many loopholes in the rules of the preliminary selection, and there are more loopholes than just the group battle. But this is actually not the most important thing. Everyone wants to get the boundary-breaking bead. Even if they can join forces against many at the beginning, the large formation only counts the move of taking down the arena. People in the team will inevitably calculate against each other. In the end, one-on-one is safe and fair."
Jiang Yuebai nodded and said, "That's true, but I think this rule is aimed at independent cultivators. The relationship between disciples from noble families and disciples from sects is relatively stable, so they can choose to join forces to fight the enemy and increase their chances of being selected."
Qi Ming continued, "I think the most important thing is that you don't have to reveal your identity. This will make it easier for the noble families and sects to do many things behind the scenes."
Jiang Yuebai agreed. If she participated in the event wearing a mask and got the three jade tokens needed to break the boundary beads, she could give the tokens to others and let them claim the prize under her identity.
On the black market, some people have already started buying the Boundary Breaking Pearl at high prices.
Jiang Yuebai thought about it carefully and felt that it was unnecessary. The Fengyun Society would ultimately decide the dominance of the Earth Spirit World. The noble families and sects would be crazy to cram in disciples who couldn't even pass the preliminary selection.
Maybe it's just to leave a back door to deal with special situations, such as Tianjiao capsizing.
Hong Tao was still insisting on the ring. Jiang Yuebai agreed with Qi Ming on the meeting place and time and prepared to leave first.
Turning around, he suddenly found that Zhuo Qingfeng and the others were on the stages behind him. Jiang Yuebai nodded to Zhuo Qingfeng and went to other stages without saying anything else to look for his friends from Tianyan Sect.
Zhuo Qingfeng looked at Jiang Yuebai's receding back, hesitated for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze, clenched the sword in his hand, and continued fighting.
Jiang Yuebai looked around and found that most of the people were hiding their identities and wearing masks when fighting in the ring. Even if they were wearing sect uniforms, they rarely gave their real names after going up to the ring.
After touring the north of the city, Jiang Yuebai went to the other three fighting arenas and kept going until sunset. She was surprised to find that she couldn't find any of the people she was looking for.
It was not known whether she did not notice it because of her skill in disguise, or she just missed it when she went to various fighting arenas. She also paid close attention to the moves of some cultivators, but could not see any clues. This made Jiang Yuebai feel very magical.
"Now we can only wait and see if Qi Ming has any harvest. These guys are really good at hiding things!"
In the evening, Xie Jingshan hosted a banquet for the friends from Tianyan Sect at Jinshui Tower next to Quan Lake. Jiang Yuebai walked on the road, secretly thinking.
"Today's method will definitely not work tomorrow. How can I win ten games quickly tomorrow? I am so famous now that people will definitely think highly of me. I have to make people think that I am just a name for nothing."
In the Jinshui Tower, Xie Jingshan made all the arrangements very well. Those who were fasting drank tea, and those who were not fasting ate and drank. The dishes were all the best spiritual vegetables and monster meat without impurities, and eating them would not affect their practice.
As soon as Jiang Yuebai arrived, she looked for Lu Nanzhi everywhere. Xie Jingshan shook his head at Jiang Yuebai and said that Lu Nanzhi didn't come.
Except for Lu Nanzhi, all the friends from Tianyan Sect that they knew had arrived.
“Senior Sister Tang, you don’t know that I have defended ten battles with one formation today, killing all the enemies and remaining invincible…” He Wangchen rambling on and on about his battle situation today.
Tang Weimian turned a deaf ear to him and asked Ge Yuchan beside him, "You just said that you were not far from me on the stage, so why didn't I notice you?"
Ge Yuchan looked at the table full of delicious dishes and endured it, "My master told me to keep a low profile before I get the Boundary Breaking Pearl, so I disguised myself as a man to compete today."
Yu Qiuchi and Fang Yuxing sat cross-legged on the terrace drinking tea, Yun Chang was eating secretly in the corner with a sly look in her eyes, and Li Shenzhi pulled Song Zhiang aside and continued to talk about his business.
There are a few people Jiang Yuebai is not familiar with, but they have a good relationship with Xie Jingshan.
Jiang Yuebai asked Xie Jingshan about the battle situation today. After knowing that everything was going well for him, he went to find Yun Shang and the others.
Everyone performed well on the first day and all got jade medals.
After chatting with Yun Shang for a few words, Jiang Yuebai was still worried about Lu Nanzhi. In a bad mood, he went to the lake alone to get rid of the smell of alcohol.
The bright moon is like a hook, the Shanhai Tower in the center of the spring lake is brightly lit, and the sound of wind chimes echoes.
Jiang Yuebai saw two foundation-building cultivators, a man and a woman, with the Lu family emblem on their bodies, talking under a covered bridge in the distance.
Jiang Yuebai took out a skylark puppet and released it, letting it land on the corridor bridge. He took out a viewing mirror to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
“… She is so shameless. She is going to get married soon. What’s the point of competing for a rank in the Fengyun Club? She still thinks she is the daughter of the head of the family. But she is just a toy for others to play with like her mother!” The man was sarcastic.
The woman sighed, "She is pitiful too. Her uncle died unexpectedly, her mother is crazy, and her brothers and sisters can't help her. She is sad, so it is understandable that she turned her face away from us today. After all, she is also a daughter of the Lu family. If Fengyun Club can win a place, it will also be good for the Lu family."
"You are so generous and tolerant, and you have the demeanor of a patriarch's daughter. She looked down on us in the past, so we don't have to be too nice to her in the future. I think she is an ungrateful person who will be unfaithful to the Lu family sooner or later."
"Don't say that. My father told me not to anger her. Fang Mingyi of the Fang family is not a good person. She will suffer when she marries him. By then, she will definitely become a resentful woman like her mother. She will not be a hindrance to us in the future. Just be patient."
"Okay, I'll just avoid her. Let's go back. We have to go to the fighting ground early tomorrow. By the way, all of our Lu Clan disciples are going to the west of the city tomorrow, right?"
After the two men left, Jiang Yuebai was in no hurry to take back the Skylark Puppet. He was filled with rage and wanted to throw the two men in sacks into the Spring Lake.
However, the attitudes of these two people also gave Jiang Yuebai a rough idea of what kind of life Lu Nanzhi is living in Lu's company now.
Jiang Yuebai knew that Lu Nanzhi was determined to take revenge, but the question now was, was it the Fang family or the Lu family who was responsible for Uncle Lu's death
If it was the Lu family, Jiang Yuebai didn't even dare to think about it.
After the others walked away, Jiang Yuebai took back the Skylark Puppet. She turned around and saw Zhuo Qingfeng standing under a tree in the distance. He was wearing a dark blue suit, looking cheerful and upright, and looking at her with deep eyes.
Jiang Yuebai felt that Zhuo Qingfeng’s gaze was a little... strange, she couldn’t tell what was going on. She scratched her face and watched Zhuo Qingfeng walk up to her.
"Jiang... I have something to tell you."
Zhuo Qingfeng's cheeks flushed, his whole body was tense, and he stared at Jiang Yuebai with burning eyes.
Jiang Yuebai dodged and narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "What do you want to do? I'm in a bad mood today, be careful or I'll tear your head off."
Zhuo Qingfeng took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "I like you and would like to ask you to be my Taoist partner."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes suddenly opened wide, he was panic-stricken and opened his mouth for a long time before he uttered a word.
"Are you seriously ill?"
Jiang Yuebai ran away with his head down, and ran to the Jinshui Building, leaning against the wall and breathing rapidly. He secretly glanced outside and saw Zhuo Qingfeng still standing under the tree, motionless, as if he was a little... lonely.
"Don't trample on other people's love for you."
Xie Jingshan's voice came, Jiang Yuebai turned his head a few times, and then he saw him standing by the window of the lobby of Jinshui Building, also looking at Zhuo Qingfeng outside.
"You...you heard everything? Do you have dog ears?" Jiang Yuebai cursed angrily.
Xie Jingshan turned his head and stared at Jiang Yuebai for a long while. "Your face is pale but not red. It seems that you really don't like that guy. My mother said that the world is complicated. It is a great fortune to meet someone who is willing to present his sincere heart to you without disguising it."
"My mother also said that you can dislike it and refuse it, but please don't ignore it intentionally or trample on it casually. You should be grateful and make your words clear so as not to delay the other person, so that such a sincere person can continue to be sincere in the future and will not fall into inferiority, helplessness, anger and resentment."
I reiterate that you don't have to be afraid of no CP. I just think it's normal for someone to like such an outstanding girl like her. It's just an experience that must be experienced in life. There won't be any sticky love entanglements. This is also a hurdle in Zhuo Qingfeng's search for love. Everyone will get over it quickly. Don't panic or be afraid, just keep reading.
There will be another chapter later, but I don’t know how late it will be.
