"Xiao Qiu?" Xiao Chunmian couldn't help but become more nervous seeing Yu Qiu's ugly and pale complexion.
But Yu Qiu pushed him away, said thank you politely, and winked at him desperately.
Xiao Chunmian was stunned for a moment, and followed Yu Qiu's eyes to listen carefully to the noisy discussions around him, only then did he understand Yu Qiu's careful thought that he didn't want too many people to know about their relationship.
Yu Qiu hugged the floor tile, pretending that he was not familiar with Xiao Chunmian, and shrank his neck back to the original corner.
Xiao Chunmian kept looking at him. Although Yu Qiu's thoughtfulness was not difficult to understand, Xiao Chunmian was still disappointed and felt a little bit wronged by being left where he was.
After a while, the discussion finally died down, and then a person jumped out and challenged Yu Qiu.
Yu Qiu looked up, and besides this guy, there were actually many people who were eager to try, and some of them seemed very regretful because they were preempted.
It seems that although the victory did not allow people to see Yu Qiu's strength clearly, it aroused everyone's curiosity.
It's just a pity that Yu Qiu really has a headache now, and he doesn't want to have another competition at all.
"Can I abstain?" Yu Qiu said, "The consumption just now was too great, I need to rest now."
The truth elicited another wave of boos. Everyone just watched him knock out his opponent with a brick. Wherever he could see his exhaustion, they all thought he was making excuses.
Even Gu Ruxue frowned because of his passive avoidance behavior.
"Cultivators who have already been challenged once can refuse the remaining challenges." Gu Ruxue said, "But every time you refuse a challenge, you need to deduct 100 points."
"Okay." Yu Qiu said decisively. Anyway, he just got 500 points, which is too much.
"Isn't there a maximum of three matches for one person? I've already compared one match, so let me reject the remaining two matches together." Yu Qiu said again, "I want to go back and rest early."
Gu Ruxue's brows were tightened even more, and the curious and appreciative attitude towards Qiu just now turned into dissatisfaction in an instant, but she nodded in the end, "Yes."
Seeing the 200 points that had been subtracted in no time, Yu Qiu was pardoned, clutching his aching head, resisting the boos of the crowd, retreated from behind like a wounded person, and walked away from the crowd all the way. Yuntai rushed to his temporary residence, eager to sleep with his head covered.
Xiao Chunmian watched him walk past her, and unconsciously took a step with him, but received another look from Yu Qiu, and had to stay where she was depressed again.
The challenge continued, and one monk after another stood on the stage, winning or losing, bringing wonderful or boring competitions, fascinating, and soon made everyone forget the little episode brought by Yu Qiu.
The sun shifted a little to the west.
A total of dozens of monks who chose to challenge made this challenge last for a whole day.
Until it was already dark, only the last challenger was left waiting to take the stage.
As the end draws near, everyone's minds are inevitably a little fluctuating. Especially Xiao Chunmian, who has absent-mindedly looked at the forest behind the Yuntai countless times, still can't let go of Yu Qiu in his heart, and only waits for the final competition to end quickly.
As a result, as soon as the challenger took the stage, he smiled proudly, "I want to challenge for the first place!"
There was a sudden silence in the audience, and then there were cheers everywhere!
From the very beginning when Gao Conghan came on stage until now, everyone had long expected Xiao Chunmian to be challenged, but no one dared to appoint him. Gradually, everyone could only face up to this regret helplessly. No one thought that at this last moment, someone would come to trigger this climax!
Xiao Chunmian was taken aback at first, then smiled, walked up to the stage, and looked at her opponent.
The opponent stared at him with his head held high.
"It's still too late to change your mind. Are you really going to stop thinking about it?" Xiao Chunmian said to the person first, "If you challenge others, maybe you won't be eliminated."
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar.
Although this sentence was said softly and full of compassion by Xiao Chunmian, in the eyes of everyone, it was just an arrogant declaration that completely ignored the opponent. But it doesn't matter, anyway, Xiao Chunmian does have this arrogant capital.
Only Xiao Chunmian knew that he said these words purely for the benefit of the other party.
The opponent sneered, "Are you scared?"
Xiao Chunmian was stunned.
The opponent sneered a few more times. He chose Xiao Chunmian, but he didn't think he was courting death. In fact, ever since Gao Conghan chose the second place on the grounds that Xiao Chunmian was likely to be seriously injured, he had been thinking about it. When others challenged him, he had been carefully observing Xiao Chunmian, and clearly saw how absent-minded and restless Xiao Chunmian was during this period of time.
Then this person decided to take a gamble, what if he was seriously injured? Then he will be famous and rich.
As for Xiao Chunmian's advice, it was a typical bluff in his ears, which strengthened his confidence even more.
He jumped onto the competition stage and stood opposite Xiao Chunmian, so impatient, as if fame and fortune were right in front of him.
Facing the raging fighting spirit of the opponent, Xiao Chunmian sighed, finally took the Ruoqiu sword from his waist and swung it out.
Just one sword.
A sword without any tricks, a sword that looks so simple.
But when it attacked the opponent very quickly and accurately, the opponent was unable to deal with it. Obviously Jianguang was there, but he couldn't avoid it, and couldn't stop him.
The sword light flashed across.
The victory or defeat is only a moment.
"In this battle, Xiao Chunmian wins." Gu Ruxue's graceful voice sounded again.
That opponent, who was not actually weak, stood up from under the competition stage in a daze until now, clutching his wounds, and he hadn't even realized what happened.
Gu Ruxue looked at Xiao Chunmian with a smile, her face full of undisguised admiration, "Excellent performance, plus a thousand points!"
Xiao Chunmian smiled and nodded in thanks.
Only then did the crowd start to be in an uproar.
Xiao Chunmian's admirers are all boiling!
You know, ever since Gao Conghan defeated Long Pengpeng, Gao Conghan has suddenly gained a large number of admirers, and those guys have been provoking words, saying that even if Gao Conghan really faces Xiao Chunmian I will definitely lose, Xiao Chunmian's admirers have endured it for a long time.
The strength Xiao Chunmian displayed right now is the best counterattack! One thousand extra points, although it is not painful to Xiao Chunmian's total score of tens of thousands, it fully doubles Gao Conghan's score!
They found the admirers of Gao Conghan who had made provocative words one after another, and tried to slap them in the face. As a result, the group of Gao Conghan's admirers were not to be outdone, and refuted one after another, saying that as long as the two did not fight head-on, the outcome would be unknown.
While the two sides were arguing, Xiao Chunmian Shi Shiran walked off the stage, and the challenge finally came to an end.
Gu Ruxue smiled and gave everyone a three-day rest, saying that the third stage of the trial would start in three days.
But after Gu Ruxue led Xu Hong and Shen Qianlan away, all the cultivators still piled up on the Wangyun Terrace.
The admirers of Xiao Chunmian and Gao Conghan quarreled more and more fiercely, and the quarrel became more and more incessant, and there was a tendency to fight.
As for Xiao Chunmian and Gao Conghan, they seemed to have nothing to do with the dispute, and left immediately after the challenge ended.
Xiao Chunmian hurried to find Yu Qiu.
Gao Conghan's residence is diagonally opposite to Qiu.
So in the grove passing by, the two inevitably met.
"Your sword is good." Gao Conghan said provocatively.
"It's just normal." Xiao Chunmian replied calmly, "Your performance today is still worth watching."
Gao Conghan smiled proudly, "Of course it's worth watching. You didn't read what those guys said, it's as if I have already defeated you."
"They're just guessing, they can say anything." Xiao Chunmian raised her eyebrows, "It's a pity that I couldn't fight you in the end. It's a bit regretful. If you really chose me as your opponent at that time, those who There will be no more arguments."
"Who knows?" Gao Conghan shrugged, looking indifferent.
Xiao Chunmian took a sudden step forward, stopped in front of Gao Conghan, stared at him with piercing eyes and said, "Why didn't you challenge me then? Why didn't you compete with me? Because you didn't dare? "
"Great No. 1, don't be so calm." Gao Conghan smiled, "Our real battlefield is not such a place, is it?"
When he said this so grandly, Xiao Chunmian laughed angrily.
Xiao Chunmian laughed, "It's a pity that you lost even worse on that battlefield... No, to be more precise, you have no right to fight against me on that battlefield!"
"Really?" Gao Cong coldly smiled.
Xiao Chunmian took a deep breath, suppressing the abnormal irritability in her heart, and moved away from Gao Conghan, trying to calm herself down.
Gao Conghan walked past him, and at the same time said softly, "You just want him to miss you because of him."
"What did you say?" Xiao Chunmian raised her head abruptly, and her mood that had just calmed down suddenly exploded again.
"Do you think he is really willing to have a relationship with you? You are just relying on him to be reluctant to part with you." Gao Conghan smiled contemptuously, "You understand this kind of thing very well, don't you?"
Gao Conghan didn't stop walking when he said this.
Until his figure completely disappeared, Xiao Chunmian still stood there.
Xiao Chunmian wanted to persuade himself to ignore the other party's words, but those words kept echoing in his mind. It was only because some emotions were already suppressed in his heart that they were so easily aroused by such a sentence.
Xiao Chunmian looked at the road leading to where Yu Qiu was, and suddenly couldn't take another step.
Then a figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Yu Qiu pressed his aching head and walked over that road sleepily.
"Chun Mian..." Yu Qiu's voice was soft and soft, with a low hoarse voice that had just woken up from sleep.
Xiao Chunmian's heart fluttered, her heart instantly softened into a ball, she walked over and pulled Yu Qiu into her arms, bowed her head and kissed her.
Yu Qiu's hair exploded, and he woke up instantly, and pushed him away violently.
Xiao Chunmian froze in place.
