When the sky is hazy.
Many disciples who had trouble sleeping last night had gathered in the square.
For warriors with strong mental strength and blood, not sleeping for one night will not have much impact.
They gathered in twos and threes, all discussing today's game.
There was no suspense about the top three candidates.
However, they heard last night that there was another disciple in the late martial arts stage joining the competition, and she was a female disciple who used a sword.
So everyone is guessing about the top three candidates.
The noisy voices in the square woke up the other disciples who were sleeping in the house.
Luo Qingzhou also did not sleep last night.
How could he sleep with a pretty, fragrant, and beautiful girl lying next to him, and this beautiful girl was staring at him like a wolf or a tiger.
So the two of them stared at each other until dawn.
Seeing more and more people getting up outside, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly urged, "Princess, it's time to go, or else someone will see us."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly: "So what if they saw it, are you afraid of being seen?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I am afraid. After all, I am a man. It is really embarrassing to be slept with by a woman late at night."
Nangong Meijiao laughed and said, "How could this princess sleep with you? You need evidence when you speak. You didn't even bleed."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Nangong Meijiao was about to speak when the thing on her waist suddenly vibrated. She turned her back, took it out and took a look. A line of small words appeared on it.
Princess, something terrible has happened. I heard voices coming from Junior Brother Chu's room. It sounded like a woman's voice, but it wasn't Senior Sister Dao or Junior Sister Chu. I don't know who it was.
Nangong Meijiao glanced at the door and replied: It's me
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps leaving outside the door.
Luo Qingzhou sat up suddenly and whispered, "Princess, someone was eavesdropping at the door just now, please leave quickly."
Nangong Meijiao quietly tucked the jade in her hand into her sleeve, sat up and said, "You can let me go, come and help me put on my shoes."
As she spoke, she put her two long legs on the edge of the bed, revealing two slender and beautiful feet in snow-white stockings, and looked at him teasingly.
"Princess..."
"Why, you don't want to? It doesn't matter, I'll just sit here. When they all get up and open the door, I'll say... last night you went out and knocked me out and brought me back while they were all asleep."
"… "
At this moment, the voices of Zhang Yuanshan and Zhou Boyao were suddenly heard outside.
Luo Qingzhou's face changed slightly. He quickly got out of bed, squatted beside the bed, and helped her put on the shoes on the ground.
Nangong Meijiao suddenly shrank her feet, handed him a pair of pink stockings and said, "Change them. I put on the pair after taking a shower last night. I slept here all night, so you must have made them dirty. Throw them away."
Luo Qingzhou defended himself: "I didn't touch it last night."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly: "But your quilt is dirty, you and your smell are dirty, it has been stained."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Since the princess dislikes me so much, why did she sleep with me and touch me?"
Nangong Meijiao raised her eyebrows and said, "This princess is willing. Why, are you feeling wronged?"
"I don't dare."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and took the pink stockings from her hand, and quickly took off the snow-white stockings on her feet. When she was about to put on the pink stockings, she shook her snow-white and attractive feet and said, "This princess allows you to kiss her and touch her for a while. It's okay. Just consider it as your reward for sleeping with me last night."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and quickly helped her put on her pink stockings, then helped her put on her shoes, and urged: "Princess, you can go now."
Nangong Meijiao sat on the bed, stared at him coldly for a while, and said, "Are my feet not pretty?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It looks good."
Nangong Meijiao asked: "Do you like it?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I like it."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly: "Then why don't you kiss or touch me?"
Luo Qingzhou replied: "Because the princess is too beautiful, I dare not. I am afraid that I will not be able to control myself and suddenly turn into a beast and eat the princess directly."
Nangong Meijiao narrowed her eyes and suddenly sneered, "You're lying. I slept with you last night, but I didn't see you suddenly turn into a beast. I only saw you lying motionless with your eyes closed, pretending to be dead. You're worse than a beast."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Nangong Meijiao laughed sarcastically, walked to the window, then stood in front of the window, turned her head and looked at him and said: "Chu Feiyang, since you want to rely on your own real ability to enter the inner gate, then this princess will wait and see. But if you fail, it doesn't matter, come to ask this princess for help again, and this princess will still help you."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Princess."
Nangong Meijiao opened the window and said calmly, "We are family, so you don't have to be polite. Anyway, you have to come and sleep with me whenever I need you in the future."
Having said that, he was about to leave.
Luo Qingzhou quickly raised the stockings in his hand and said, "Princess, your stockings."
Nangong Meijiao jumped out lightly, turned her head outside the window and said, "Here's a reward for you. When you miss me, you can hold it to sleep, or you can kiss it. Of course, if you want to do other bad things to it, that's fine too."
After saying that, he walked away quickly with his long legs.
Luo Qingzhou stood in the room, stunned for a long time, and suddenly there was a knock on the door from Sister Dao: "Chu Feiyang, are you up? It's time to go."
Luo Qingzhou came to his senses, immediately put away his silk stockings, and put all the quilts and bedding he had slept in last night into the storage bag before leaving the room.
After a simple wash and breakfast, they went out together.
Nie Yunrong secretly glanced at him from time to time with a complicated expression.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Nie, why do you keep peeking at me? If you like me, you can tell me directly. Although I won't accept your confession, I can introduce Bo Yue to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Nie Yunrong's face suddenly turned red.
Zhou Boyue also blushed and said, "Brother Chu, don't joke like that."
Everyone knew it was a joke and no one took it seriously.
Several people quickly stood in the same positions as yesterday.
Not long.
Sun Jiang walked over expressionlessly, glanced at a few people, and said, "How did you sleep last night? Are you feeling better?"
Seeing that he looked unhappy, and seeing that he had just come here with Master Jin, they thought that he must have been mocked by Master Jin again, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Master, we all slept well."
Chu Xiaoxiao was chattering away just now, but when she saw his expression, she didn't dare to say anything.
At this moment, Master Jin's surprised voice suddenly came from the side: "What? Wanrou's sword was broken? And that kid used a trick to burn her skirt? Who? Go over and point it out! Wanrou, don't be afraid, your master will definitely take care of it for you!"
As he said that, Jin Song came over aggressively with eight disciples.
Seeing that they were the first to complain, Sister Dao hurriedly walked up to Sun Jiang and briefly recounted what had happened on the hillside last afternoon.
Chu Xiaoxiao said indignantly, "Master, it was obviously because they were too bullying that Fourth Senior Brother took action. But Senior Sister Yun couldn't beat Fourth Senior Brother, so she complained first. How shameless."
After hearing this, Sun Jiang looked at the young man beside him with a look of astonishment on his face and said, "Are you saying that Fei Yang defeated the female disciple named Yun Wanrou last night?"
Dao Jie and the others all nodded and said, "Yes, Master, Junior Brother Chu did win."
Chu Xiaoxiao said proudly: "Senior Brother Chu only used one stick to break the sword in Senior Sister Yun's hand."
Sun Jiang's face was full of disbelief.
Luo Qingzhou quickly explained: "Master, I didn't defeat the opponent. It's just that the opponent was careless and failed to subdue me within the specified time, so I lost. If we really go on stage to compete, I will definitely not be a match for that Senior Sister Yun."
"Of course you are no match for my Wanrou!"
At this moment, Master Jin and his eight disciples stopped in front of them with a menacing look.
Jin Song said with a gloomy face: "Boy, what kind of weapon do you have? You actually broke my Wanrou's sword directly. Take it out and show it to me."
Sun Jiang immediately stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Jin, I have a general understanding of what happened last night. The two disciples agreed to spar with each other, and the winner and loser are at their own risk. According to the rules, even if your disciple's sword is broken, she should bear the responsibility herself. What are you trying to do by coming here in such a threatening manner? Do you want to fight by relying on your large numbers?"
Jin Song sneered and said, "Brother Sun, I won't fight. I'm just curious about what weapon your disciple used to break my disciple's sword. The origin of that sword is not small. My disciple spent a great price to get it. Even if it is a divine weapon, it can't be so powerful, right? So I suspect he used other means. Brother Sun, just ask him to take out the stick and I will see it."
Sun Jiang said expressionlessly, "Winning is winning, losing is losing. If Junior Brother Jin can't afford to lose, he should remind his disciples in the future not to let them act arrogantly, lest they get angry after losing. As for your suspicion that there is something wrong with my disciples' weapons, I'm sorry, your disciples didn't bring it up during the sparring, and they didn't bring it up after the sparring. It's too late to bring it up now. According to the rules, you are not qualified to investigate or check."
Jin Song's eyes twitched, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Sun, I am not here to hold this kid responsible. Winning or losing is at his own risk, and I know it naturally. Even if he used other means, it doesn't matter. I just want to take a look at his weapon, is that not allowed?"
Sun Jiang thought of his ridicule at the dinner table last night, and at this moment, he seemed to have let out a big mouthful of anger. He said without giving him face: "No."
Jin Song's face suddenly turned gloomy.
At this moment, the noise around suddenly quieted down.
Several elders walked onto the stone platform.
Jin Song sneered and said sarcastically, "Brother Sun, I want to see with my own eyes how powerful your disciple is during the competition today."
After a pause, he sneered and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he may not be accepted as an inner disciple like my disciples, right?"
After saying this, he turned around and left with his disciples, returning to his original position.
At this time, Lingxiao Sect's Great Elder Wu Youzi, along with several other elders, stood on the stone platform, looking majestically at the disciples from all over the sect below, and said, "Yesterday's martial arts competition has come to an end, and the results have been announced. Among them, many elite disciples have emerged, and they will all be the focus of our attention and training in the future. Today's competition will be more exciting than yesterday, because today's competition is a competition between martial artists..."
"The rules were already explained yesterday. They are the same as the rules for martial arts competitions. You can use any martial arts and weapons, but you cannot use hidden weapons, poisons, etc. Everyone should compete in moderation. If you feel you cannot win, just admit defeat in advance. It is not shameful. If you do not admit defeat, you may be seriously injured, or even die from the serious injury..."
"For individual competitions, points will be awarded based on ranking. We made it clear yesterday that the higher the individual ranking, the more points you will get, and the total score for each of your branches will be higher. For branches with fewer disciples, additional points will be awarded based on the situation..."
"The top three in the martial arts competition will all receive the most generous training resources as rewards. At the same time, the elders from each peak, and even several peak masters, have arrived today to watch the competition. If they are impressed by your talent and strength, they can make an exception and accept you as inner disciples. Of course, this situation is limited to the top five and only two people..."
When the disciples heard this, their faces suddenly became excited.
Of course, some disciples who were in the early stages of martial arts definitely had no hope this time, and they secretly vowed to wait until next year when Ling Xiao took the test before trying again.
Wu Youzi spoke on the stage for a while before announcing the start of the competition and asking the disciples in the front row to start drawing lots one by one.
at the same time.
The heads of all the peaks followed the head of Beiwang Peak, Mo Jiufeng, and came to the square while talking in low voices.
"Hey, it seems that Linghu Qingzhu hasn't arrived yet?"
"That girl wouldn't have gotten wind of our intention to snatch someone away and wouldn't dare to come, would she?"
"Huh, with her personality, do you think it's possible?"
"Don't be impatient, let's see how that kid performs first."
"Humph, no matter how he behaves, I'm determined to get this guy!"
"Why? Because you are so shameless? I will take this disciple as my own! If you don't agree, let's have a duel later!"
"Let's fight, who's afraid of who? It just so happens that I haven't fought with you for a long time, and I don't know if you, a shorty, have improved in the past few years."
"Big-faced monster, who are you calling a dwarf? Your granddaughter is training on Old Man Peak."
"Why, you're threatening the younger generation now that you can't win by scolding them? Are you getting more shameless as you get older, old man?"
While they were arguing, a woman in a green robe came hurriedly and said excitedly, "My fellow brothers, Xiong'er said that the sect leader has come out of retreat and may come later."
When these words were spoken, several people were shocked, and then their faces were filled with surprise.
"The Sect Master has made a breakthrough?"
Madam Qingpao shook her head and said, "It seems not yet."
"Hey, why did you come out early? Could it be that... you encountered a bottleneck and can't break through it in a short time?"
"Well, it's very likely."
Several people immediately became worried again.
And at this time.
On a cloud bridge on a certain mountain, surrounded by fairy mist, Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green, was standing in front of the railing with a woman in a red skirt, bathing in the rising morning glow and talking softly.
"Qingzhu, is that young man really that powerful?"
"Well, I saw it with my own eyes last night, otherwise I wouldn't have believed it. So, you have to help me."
The woman in the red skirt faced the morning glow and was silent for a while. Then she turned around and looked at her and said, "Qingzhu, I have reached a bottleneck. I don't think I will be able to break through in the next few years. So, I want to accept a disciple."
Linghu Qingzhu: "..."
