The sun had already set to the west, but Yu Qiu was still staring at the direction of the viewing platform from the mountain, anxiously waiting for the last moment.
Time passed little by little, and the sun set in the west little by little, but no one appeared on the stone steps, not a single one. On the side of the wangyuntai, a bright light flashed a person, Yu Qiu took a look at it, but it was not the one he wanted to see.
Until it was dark, Gu Ruxue reappeared in front of everyone without hesitation.
The eyes of all the monks immediately focused on her, and everyone was waiting for the final result, including Yu Qiu. Those people who are still trapped in Xuanyang Mountain will all be transported by Gu Ruxue's magic power at the moment when the first stage of the trial is over. If Xiao Chunmian was still alive, he would naturally come here together.
"The fifteenth day is almost over," Gu Ruxue just tilted her head and smiled under the eager anticipation of everyone, and said, "I decided to extend it by two hours."
What
All the monks were stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, Gu Ruxue had already calmly sat on the seat in the center of the observation platform.
Many people couldn't help cursing in their hearts, but Gu Ruxue was a master of golden core after all, so no one dared to curse out loud.
Yu Qiu thought that his heart would suffer another two hours, so he couldn't help cursing in his heart.
Just like that, the sun finally set, and the lampstands around Wangyuntai were lit with flames. At this time a few days ago, everyone had already gone down to the temporary residence to rest, but now, in order to wait for the final result of the first stage of the trial, everyone had to stay on the viewing platform to enjoy the wind.
Yu Qiu secretly sighed: Sure enough, Xiao Chunmian still did not appear, it seems that we still have to wait for the last moment...
Finally, these two hours passed, and Gu Ruxue stood up again.
Then she smiled and said another sentence, "I decided to extend it for another two hours."
"..."
Finally someone couldn't help but yelled.
"Why! Can the Xuanyang sect play tricks like this!" Such an irresistible monk is naturally easily irritable. Yu Qiu looked around, and sure enough, that irritable guy Gao Conghan also took a few steps forward from the corner, looking at Gu Ruxue with a dark face, but he didn't curse like the others.
"Just because I am the examiner of this trial." Gu Ruxue smiled slightly, "Just because I am the golden core."
These are two sentences with a lot of weight, but once a person who is easily irritable gets really irritable, he will always lose his mind. There were two monks that Yu Qiu didn't know, who seemed to have no regard for their lives. Their faces were flushed by these two words, and they rushed forward with their hands like this, as if they wanted to teach Gu Ruxue a lesson.
Gu Ruxue glanced at them, but didn't make a move.
As a Golden Core Grandmaster, if she takes action against these people, she will lose face.
But even if she didn't make a move, those people couldn't touch her clothes in the end. I saw two streams of light, Xu Hong and Miss Shen, one on the left and the other on the right, threw the two magic weapons from their hands, and the people who came rushing flew back backwards.
Gao Conghan almost rushed over, but when he saw this scene, his steps froze, and he stopped on the spot, calmed down, and looked around, trying to cover up his actions just now. Yu Qiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The place where Gao Conghan stopped was just beside him.
"You boy," Gao Conghan gritted his teeth even more when he heard the ridicule, new and old grudges surged, "Are you in a good mood now?"
"How can it be?" Yu Qiu said, "Didn't you see that I am enjoying myself while suffering?"
Gao Conghan was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and sneered again, "I just said that something is wrong with the kid recently, is something wrong?"
Yu Qiu ignored him.
Yu Qiu's eyes still fell on Gu Ruxue. According to the memory of his previous life, although this uncle really likes to do his own way, he will not do his own way without reason. To delay the time limit again and again like this is not just a pure show.
Looking at it, I saw that Gu Ruxue was always looking in the direction of the entrance of Wangyuntai, with a smile on her mouth, and interest in her eyes, as if she was waiting for something interesting.
It doesn't mean that Qiu thinks more, Gao Conghan said another sentence, "Where's your Taoist companion?"
Yu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the quarrel on Fangbei Mountain - the word "dao couple" was ridiculing his relationship with Xiao Chunmian.
Not only touched the forbidden zone in my heart, but still used such a word to refer to it, Yu Qiu's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Gao Conghan was stunned for a moment because of Yu Qiu's reaction, and then he laughed as if he had found a joy, "Could it be that... your Taoist companion died on the road?"
Yu Qiu turned around abruptly, looked at him angrily for a moment, but finally withdrew his eyes again, subdued his arrogance, but his whole body seemed a little lost.
After a while, Yu Qiu said, "Whether he is dead or alive...what does it matter to me?"
Gao Conghan was taken aback again, "Did you quarrel?"
Immediately afterwards, he was happy again, "This is a good thing, a great good thing."
"What did you say?" Yu Qiu took out the talisman in an instant, but Xu Hong and Miss Shen each glanced in this direction, and Yu Qiu had to put the talisman back.
"Little guy, don't be so angry." Gao Conghan looked a little smug at the moment, "You and him are not suitable, don't you think? If you don't quarrel now, you will have to quarrel sooner or later. Isn't it a good thing to quarrel sooner or later? "
Yu Qiu gritted his teeth, "Is it related to you?"
"Compared to him, I actually have more similar tempers with you." Gao Conghan said, "Don't you think so?"
"I don't think so at all." Yu Qiu could not wait to roll his eyes at him, "Where is the similarity? They are all narrow-minded?"
As soon as the sentence was finished, Yu Qiu suddenly felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but pause.
Looking at Gao Conghan over there, he was scolded for being narrow-minded, but he was not angry, but only laughed, "I gave you the ring last time, didn't you keep it well?"
Yu Qiu's head turned around like a machine running out of oil, and looked at him dumbly, "Did you really give that ring to me?"
"Otherwise, who else can I give it to?" Gao Conghan asked with a smile.
Yu Qiu finally remembered what was wrong.
He used to think that Gao Conghan was so angry at the close relationship between him and Xiao Chunmian because he also knew that Xiao Chunmian was a woman disguised as a man, and he fell in love with Xiao Chunmian, and the ring was naturally given to Xiao Chunmian. Pursue Xiao Chunmian. But in fact Xiao Chunmian is not a woman disguised as a man, but a real man... The whole plot is wrong!
"...The ring is for me?" Yu Qiu couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Yes." Gao Conghan nodded.
Yu Qiu's fine hair stood up layer by layer along his back.
"Why did you give it to me?" Yu Qiu asked.
"You kid, why are you so stupid?" Gao Conghan smiled again.
Then Gao Conghan was about to say something, but suddenly there was a commotion in the surrounding people.
Yu Qiu followed everyone's gaze, and it turned out that it was Gu Ruxue who suddenly stood up.
Have these two hours finally passed? Is it the last minute? Is Xiao Chunmian still safe and sound? Yu Qiu's whole mind was immediately occupied by these thoughts, leaving no room for Gao Conghan's incident at all.
Gu Ruxue didn't speak, just smiled and looked in the direction of the steps at the entrance.
Everyone followed her to look, but the steps were still the same as in the past few hours, empty and there was no one.
On Shishi Mountain, since the thirteenth day, the number of people walking up that step has become less and less. After all, Xuanyang Mountain is just that big, Wangyun Terrace is here, and the direction and distance are marked with marks. It took so many days to find people who came here, and most of them will never have the chance to come here again.
But Yu Qiu firmly believed that Xiao Chunmian was different, Xiao Chunmian was a genius in comprehension and so smart, such things would not happen to him. Although there is an eighth-level monster in Xuanyang Mountain, and although Xiao Chunmian has not appeared yet, Xiao Chunmian is definitely still alive, but trapped in a certain corner of Xuanyang Mountain, and will be rescued immediately after waiting for a certain time limit... Yu Qiu I have always believed in this.
He followed Gu Ruxue's gaze and looked at the steps at the entrance. The more he looked, the more uneasy he felt. But the smile on the corner of Gu Ruxue's mouth grew bigger and bigger.
Yu Qiu felt that she was waiting for something.
I don't know how long it took until the wind was suddenly mixed with blood, and Yu Qiu finally heard footsteps coming from the bottom of the stone steps.
Gu Ruxue was waiting for someone, someone who could make her postpone the deadline of the first stage of the trial again and again.
That person came up from the bottom of the stone steps step by step, and finally gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Yu Qiu's breathing almost stopped.
He had imagined the scene when he saw Xiao Chunmian countless times, but he never thought about the current situation.
The wound drawn by Yu Qiu still remained on Xiao Chunmian's face, the blood dried up, leaving an ugly scar lying abruptly on that beautiful face. But this abrupt and ugly scar is not so eye-catching. Because Xiao Chunmian is covered in blood and cuts and bruises all over his body.
The coat has long been torn, revealing the soft armor inside. And that soft armor was torn apart with a huge gap, exposing the bloody wound inside.
Xiao Chunmian was like this, leaving a bloodstain on the soles of his feet every time he took a step, gradually appearing in front of everyone.
It is no longer the middle stage of gas refining before separation.
Yu Qiu was shocked to find that Xiao Chunmian had broken through to the late stage of Qi refining after ten days of absence... No, this is clearly the peak of Qi refining!
But this is not important, the important thing is that Xiao Chunmian is injured now, and Yu Qiu wants to rush over.
Gao Conghan grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear, "What do you want to do in the past?"
Yu Qiu paused like this. Yes, even in the past, what can he do? Does Xiao Chunmian really need him? Xiao Chunmian has never even looked up at him since he appeared.
There were only a few steps left, and Xiao Chunmian had already stepped up step by step by relying on her own strength.
At this last step, Xiao Chunmian suddenly staggered and was about to fall to the ground.
At this moment, Yu Qiu forgot everything, broke free from Gao Conghan's hand and was about to rush over. Gao Conghan gave him a firm pull from behind. Yu Qiu was pulled back defenselessly, and Gao Conghan caught it just in time.
Xiao Chunmian, who hadn't looked this way all the way, suddenly raised her eyes at this moment, took a cool look at the two people, and saw Gao Conghan wrapped both hands around Yu Qiu's shoulders , looking proudly at him.
Yu Qiu slammed Gao Conghan's belly hard with his elbow, but Xiao Chunmian's gaze had already swept away and moved to another place.
Finally, someone rushed over to catch him.
It wasn't Yu Qiu, but the girl Shen who was standing in another corner before.
The thirty-fifth generation disciple of Xuanyang Sect, Gu Ruxue's personal successor, Shen Qianlan, is also Xu Hong's fiancée now. But at the moment when Xiao Chunmian staggered, he reacted very quickly, rushed over from another corner, and caught it firmly and firmly.
Not to mention Yu Qiu, even Xu Hong, who was closer and was about to reach out to pick him up, couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene.
Xiao Chunmian fell into Shen Qianlan's arms, showed her an extremely gentle smile, then passed out, let Shen Qianlan hug him, and sent him all the way to the house behind.
Yu Qiu recalled Xiao Chunmian's smile at Shen Qianlan, and always felt something was wrong.
