Seeing her return, the three chief and deputy envoys all smiled, but the reasons were different.
Kang Tian gave a few words of encouragement: "Very good, this competition fully shows the demeanor of my Jiuyao Palace disciple. Work hard and the challenge will continue."
An Tongchen said: "You showed off your skills too much this time. The opponents in the Challenger League are not weak, so be careful."
"Yes." Lu Mingshu solemnly agreed, and returned to his seat.
She understood what An Tongchen meant. If he showed his strength too early, the Challenger League would be much more difficult if he had already prepared for it.
However, when she decided to fight, she knew what she was facing. To achieve the goal, it is necessary to face up to the difficulties in such a venue!
On the second day of the competition, there were a few wonderful ones. The names of these people were secretly recorded.
On the third day, the first round was all over. Those who did not win the first match, but are confident in their own strength, will have the second match.
Shao Zhengyang was finally out of luck. The opponent he met this time was of average strength, and he successfully entered the challenge.
…
In the sky wheel, Lu Mingshu flipped through the two strengthening symbols drawn today.
The first one has the ability to see through the invisibility; the second one enhances the psychedelic effect.
She sighed. There are prerequisites for these two strengthening talismans to be effective.
For example, adding the ability to break stealth is only useful if the opponent can be invisible. In this world, martial arts is the mainstream, and invisibility is a side door, and only some remote schools have relevant inheritance. The opponent will not be invisible, this strengthening talisman is equivalent to waste.
And the second one requires psychedelic skills, which she obviously doesn't know.
Tomorrow is the challenge match. Does she want to use the strengthening talisman? According to past experience, the challenge competition usually takes five or six consecutive days to have results, and the time limit for the strengthening talisman is only one day...
There was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Mingshu got out of the sky wheel, got up and opened the door.
A maid stood outside the door: "Miss Lu." She stretched out her hand, revealing the jade pendant in her palm: "Someone invites you to meet me."
…
In the night, under the illumination of colorful lights, Feixian Palace looks like a glazed fairy palace, which is too beautiful to behold.
Lu Mingshu didn't care to appreciate it, and followed the maid, walking through flowers and blowing willows all the way, and finally entered a greenhouse.
"Girl, wait here for a moment, and this servant will go and answer."
The maid left, leaving her alone.
Lu Mingshu glanced around, and found that the orientation of this greenhouse was extremely unique. It is built on the protruding stone surface of the cliff, so it faces the cliff on three sides. Moreover, the roof and walls are made of colored glaze. Although you are in the house, you can see the starry sky and mountains and rivers, as if hanging high in the air. So ingenious and exquisite, it's really a good place to watch the scenery.
"Miss Lu, there is no one in the middle of the night, and this is the place, your vigilance is too low." A low voice came from behind.
Lu Mingshu turned around, just in time to see the wheelchair approaching silently, pushing it into the greenhouse.
The wind lamp at the corner of the eaves, against the backdrop of colored glaze, shone on his body. With sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a jade-like face, who else is it but Xie Lianzhen
She said: "There is nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to fear."
"Heh." Xie Lianzhen smiled lowly, "Every time I see a girl, it always makes me feel ashamed."
Lu Mingshu was unmoved: "Young Master Lianzhen came to me, and that's why?"
Her attitude made Xie Lianzhen laugh at herself: "The girl is really impatient with me."
"As the young master said, there is no one in the middle of the night, and it is such a place, we still have something to talk about, and it is better not to talk nonsense."
"..." Xie Lianzhen took out a booklet from his cuff, "I think you should need this."
Lu Mingshu was puzzled, took the booklet, opened it, and saw that it read: Kou Wei, Tianhai Pavilion chief true biography, twenty-eight years old... The basic information was briefly mentioned, and the characteristics of Kou Wei's exercises were analyzed in detail later. , Good at moves, combat style, and finally, combat power evaluation.
She turned a few pages, and they all had similar content.
Lu Mingshu closed the booklet: "What is the purpose of Mr. Lianzhen giving me this thing?"
"Don't you need it?" He asked with a smile.
Of course you need to. After the preliminary round, all the disciples who enter the challenge round are the next targets. Who to challenge and how to challenge them are all strategies. Jiuyao Palace also prepared such a document, but it was very rough.
As she expected, this should be the secret of Qizhen Temple, and it should not be leaked to outsiders at this critical moment.
"What do you want, my lord?" Lu Mingshu cut to the chase, "I don't think you need money, and I can't even afford the dignified and honest Mr. Zhen Xing. So, what does your lord need from me?"
Xie Lianzhen raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You think I'm selling your news?"
"if not?"
Xie Lianzhen was blocked by her, very depressed: "Can't I just want to be a good person?"
Lu Mingshu smiled faintly: "You are Lord Lian Zhenxing, the master of the Seven True Temple, so it's inappropriate to hand over such secrets to outsiders, right?"
I always feel her smile is mocking...
Xie Lianzhen suppressed her depressed mood: "You once said, don't promise easily if you can't do it."
"so what?"
He sighed: "I don't want to be a person who breaks my promise, so I will try my best to help you."
Lu Mingshu nodded: "Very good reason."
Seeing that she still didn't quite believe it, Xie Lianzhen asked: "Miss, are you still worried?"
Lu Mingshu said: "I only know that if you owe too much, you have to pay it back."
"Are you afraid of paying it back, so you don't want to owe it?"
After thinking for a while, she put the booklet into her sleeve: "However, you still owe it when you owe it."
Xie Lianzhen laughed.
"Generally speaking, the challenge will last for five or six days. You'd better not leave for the first three days. Based on your performance in the primaries, you should be on other people's list of strong players. Those who intend to compete for the rookie list will not come to challenge You. On the fourth day, you can no longer procrastinate, otherwise, the points will not be enough. As for how to choose your opponent, I believe you know it well, so I don’t need to tell you.”
Lu Mingshu nodded: "Thank you for letting me know." After being quiet for a while, he said again, "If nothing happens, I'll take my leave first."
The wheelchair retreated silently.
When she walked to the door, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Miss Lu!"
Lu Mingshu turned sideways, and the dim light shone through the glass on Xie Lianzhen's face, which was dim and dark, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The starry sky hangs down, the flowers are still, and the face under the light and shadow has a thrilling beauty.
"You, really don't think about it anymore?"
He didn't say anything, but she knew.
Probably due to the atmosphere, she was confused for a moment, but quickly shook her head: "Sorry. Thank you."
The first sorry is rejection, and the latter thank you is gratitude.
Xie Lianzhen looked down: "I forced it."
Lu Mingshu finally saluted him and left the greenhouse.
The figure quickly disappeared into the night and disappeared.
A young man wearing the Taoist uniform of Qizhen Temple entered the flower room: "My lord."
The smile on Xie Lianzhen's face had already disappeared. Her face was as clear as jade, but she had incomparably dark eyes.
He rubbed the jade pendant, as if he was talking to himself: "In this situation, I can't be shaken. Have I really reached the point where I can't even confuse a little girl?"
The young man pushed the wheelchair and stepped out of the greenhouse: "It's not an ordinary little girl who can make you fall in love."
Xie Lianzhen laughed, and regained her calm and elegant manner, "It's true. It's not easy, but it's interesting!"
