The night is long, the night is like water, and I have no intention of sleeping.
After walking out of the cabin assigned to her, Lu Xueqi raised her head and glanced at the starry sky. Then, as if she thought of something, she couldn't help but sigh, took steps forward, and wandered aimlessly.
The day has passed.
She was also lucky enough to avoid Lu Yuan.
But luck has its limits.
One day, four screenings, she did not meet Lu Yuan prematurely, let alone some difficult opponents prematurely, she had already exhausted her luck.
Going from fifteen to eight is her greatest luck.
certainly.
The luckiest person is Zhang Xiaofan.
That disciple was also from Dazhu Peak.
Currently there is only the fourth floor of Yuqing.
According to common sense, Zhang Xiaofan would never be able to enter the top eight with his strength. However, Zhang Xiaofan was lucky enough to draw blank draws twice, and this time in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, he only drew two. Second signing...
In this way, fifteen becomes fourteen, and fourteen becomes seven.
Zhang Xiaofan successfully squeezed into the top eight.
Even Lu Xueqi feels a little sour when she thinks about it now, not because of Zhang Xiaofan, but mainly because this outrageous luck is truly speechless.
But luck will also be used up.
Zhang Xiaofan will definitely lose tomorrow.
Zhang Xiaofan was not sure about Tian Linger.
Qi Hao and Zhang Xiaofan were still unsure.
To everyone, Zhang Xiaofan is the weakest.
A solid foundation can only be effective if they are at the same level. Among the remaining seven people, the one with the lowest cultivation level is three levels higher than Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan is bound to lose.
but...
Isn't she the same?
Lu Xueqi was so confused that she had reached the edge of the Hongqiao at some point. She subconsciously laughed at herself before she realized what was happening. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down on the edge of the Hongqiao and sighed worriedly again.
Lu Yuan's power made her despair.
She really didn't want to admit Lu Yuan's strength, because that meant that she would definitely be defeated by Lu Yuan, and eventually be killed by Lu Yuan on the spot.
After all, some things cannot be made public.
Especially when it comes to her innocence.
But can she really stay away from Lu Yuan?
The answer is obvious.
On the one hand, her pride did not allow her to let go during the battle. With the help of the remaining people, she was defeated in a reasonable manner and avoided the battle or fight with Lu Yuan from the side.
After all, there are rules for everything.
If she had been defeated, no matter whether she was eighth, seventh, sixth or fifth, she would no longer be qualified to compete with Lu Yuan.
Such are the rules of the competition.
Unless she gets to the top four in the martial arts competition, she can go one step further.
But this is not easy?
Among the top eight, excluding Lu Yuan and Zhang Xiaofan, the remaining six people are all tough opponents. Even Tian Linger, the seventh-level Jade Purity Master, has several trump cards in his hands, which can cause her a lot of trouble when necessary. Big trouble.
Not to mention the rest.
Qi Hao is very strong.
The disciples of Longshou Peak's habit of using ice spells was inherited from Qi Hao. Therefore, although Qi Hao is far inferior to Lu Yuan, he does have some talent in ice spells that cannot be ignored.
And Zeng Shushu of Feng Huifeng still controls the Xuanyuan Sword.
The name Sword of Humanity is not just blown away.
Although he is not ranked among the Nine Heavenly Divine Weapons, he should not be underestimated.
Among these people, is she really sure of breaking out of the siege?
This is a question worth considering.
On the other hand, who can guarantee that she will be able to fight her way through the siege instead of running into Lu Yuan in the quarterfinals?
She doesn't have Zhang Xiaofan's outrageous luck!
Furthermore, even if there is one, it will be vulnerable to absolute strength.
Just like Zhang Xiaofan tomorrow, although he won two blank draws and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, he still had to face a powerful opponent and it was impossible to avoid it!
Therefore, even if she is lucky enough to avoid it once, she will eventually fall at the gate of the four-to-two finals. Even if she is lucky enough to avoid it the second time, she will still have to face Lu Yuan in the finals!
This is a problem that cannot be avoided!
And she only had two choices.
Either give up face or give up life.
"What on earth should I do?"
Looking at the undulating reflection of the bright moon on the clear water pool, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but sigh quietly.
Behind him, an answer suddenly came.
"No need to do it."
Clang!
!
The ice blue Tianya Sword subconsciously unsheathed.
Immediately, he was pushed back directly by a hand.
Lu Xueqi had roughly guessed the identity of the visitor from the voice, and the hand he showed undoubtedly confirmed her guess.
Therefore, Lu Xueqi did not panic, but calmly slapped away the hand on Tianya Sword, turned around, and looked at the person behind her.
"Eavesdropping on people's conversations is a bad habit."
"Qingyun Daozi, you make me even more annoying."
Lu Xueqi said calmly.
It seems to be mocking.
It also seems to be a statement.
Coupled with Lu Xueqi's cold appearance, there was a bit of a contrast between her and her cuteness.
And Lu Yuan also laughed inappropriately.
However, he didn't laugh loudly. He just chuckled a few times and then returned to his normal expression. Opposite to him, Lu Xueqi, who was looking like ice in front, said calmly:
"You hate me, that's your business; but I like your current appearance of being a strong person but a strong person, and I find it very interesting."
"Fear of death is the spirituality inherent in all things."
"But there is always something more important than death."
"So, there is no need for you to worry about this."
"Also, I want to correct you: the conversation you just mentioned is not actually a conversation, it can only be regarded as talking to oneself."
"Conversation requires someone to talk to."
"If you knew the language of all things, you could indeed call what you just did a conversation, but unfortunately, you don't, so it can only be considered talking to yourself."
"And when you talk to yourself, there is no overhearing."
"So, I can only call it an unintentional mistake. I happened to hear your rhetorical question when I was passing by. It was like a week ago when I flew over Xiaozhu Peak and happened to see..."
Lu Xueqi's expression suddenly changed: "Stop talking!
! "
"Are you embarrassed?"
Lu Yuan smiled and spread his hands.
The words were heartbreaking and pointed directly at Lu Xueqi.
Lu Xueqi was immediately stunned by the question. Her red lips twitched slightly, but she didn't expect a suitable answer. She could only cover up her confusion with a cold answer:
"No, I am sorry!"
"I don't need you to be responsible either!"
"I am not afraid of life or death!"
"Wait for the battle of life and death in the ring tomorrow!"
After saying that, Lu Xueqi got ready to leave angrily.
After all, she felt an indescribable panic now. Perhaps it was because the deceitful person in front of her had caused trouble to her, so she suddenly panicked.
Lu Xueqi kept comforting herself.
He attributed his panic to the previous misunderstanding between himself and Lu Yuan, thinking that he was too concerned and had an illusion.
But Lu Yuan did not let Lu Xueqi go.
He grabbed Lu Xueqi's jade arm with his backhand, and pulled Lu Xueqi back under Lu Xueqi's frightened and angry eyes. Immediately, he asked with a smile:
"A fight between life and death?"
"Are you going to fight to the death with me?"
"Is it a matter of life and death if I live with you?"
"You weren't smeared by the Qi Lake, were you?"
Lu Xueqi broke away Lu Yuan's hand on her arm, patted her sleeves twice in disgust in front of Lu Yuan, then took two steps back, keeping a safe distance from Lu Yuan.
"Then are you willing to take responsibility?"
Lu Xueqi asked calmly.
I also learned to use questions to answer questions.
Lu Yuan also smiled.
He is quite familiar with this kind of problem.
Naturally, he also knows how to answer.
Therefore, Lu Yuan spread his hands, met Lu Xueqi's gaze as if she wanted to kill him, and pushed the question back again:
"how about you?"
"Are you willing to hold me responsible?"
Lu Yuan knew that with Lu Xueqi's stubborn temperament, he would never let go. Even if he knew he was going to die, he would still go on.
And the reality was indeed as Lu Yuan expected.
Lu Xueqi just gave him a fierce look, and then said coldly: "I don't want to!
! "
After saying that, he got up and left.
The Tianya Sword behind him was buzzing and trembling.
It seemed to reflect that Lu Xueqi was in a bad mood.
It also seemed to be warning Lu Yuan not to stop him again.
And this time, Lu Yuan did not stop him.
He put his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time before he said without looking back:
"After watching it for so long, it's time to come out, right?"
"Sister, I don't want to play whack-a-mole."
"And Zhang Xiaofan, please come out quickly."
"Don't force me to catch people with my own hands. It's worth mentioning that I'm in a very unbeautiful mood right now. I hope you won't make my already unbeautiful mood even less beautiful."
Behind Lu Yuan.
In a shadow.
There was a slight commotion.
After a moment, Tian Linger appeared with a smile on her face, holding Zhang Xiaofan's collar in her hand, letting Zhang Xiaofan look at her dreamily.
Tian Linger did not pay attention to Zhang Xiaofan, nor did he notice that something was wrong with Zhang Xiaofan's gaze. Therefore, after punishing Zhang Xiaofan severely, Tian Linger raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan who was standing on the edge of Hongqiao.
Tian Linger is not Lu Yuan’s little tail.
Because to be precise, Tian Linger came out with Lu Xueqi.
Both of them are girls.
The living room is also one.
Of course, there are also Wen Min and several other female disciples from Xiaozhu Peak, but there are not many of them, but there is still a big gap between them and the double berth.
Therefore, even though Lu Xueqi stood up very lightly and the sound of pushing the door was very quiet, Tian Linger still accurately captured it.
Tian Linger has been very concerned about Lu Xueqi, an old rival with whom she has made a five-year agreement.
Although Tian Linger was very tired because of Lu Yuan's six-day journey to hell, this did not prevent Tian Linger from secretly following Lu Xueqi.
And as we all know...
Anti-tracking is more difficult than tracking!
Therefore, Lu Xueqi did not discover Tian Linger.
If Lu Yuan hadn't come to Shui Qilin to talk to Shui Qilin, wanting to explain something to Shui Qilin so as to gain more success in tomorrow's design and layout, he probably wouldn't have been able to meet Lu Xueqi, let alone discover Tian Linger who was following Lu Xueqi, and Zhang Xiaofan followed Tian Linger.
Tian Linger is also a dabbler.
The tracking went very smoothly.
But he was followed by Zhang Xiaofan.
Lu Yuan didn't know what Zhang Xiaofan was thinking.
After all, the two of them are not treated in the same way.
In other words, Lu Yuan and all his disciples were treated differently.
Zhang Xiaofan slept on the common bunk.
Lu Xueqi also slept on the same bunk.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, slept in the ancestral hall on the mountain behind Tongtian Peak.
To be precise, it's a double room.
Because there were only one or two people, Lu Yuan and Wan Jian.
After all, Wan Jianyi has lived for so many years and spent more than half a year teaching Lu Yuan to kill ghosts and gods. Lu Yuan's identity was also top secret before Wan Jianyi appeared. Daoxuan naturally could not let Wan Jianyi and Lu Yuan casually sleep.
At the very least, before Wan Jianyi was born, Lu Yuan could not roam around at Tongtian Peak at will, so as to prevent Wan Jian from being "dead" again and again by telling the truth.
Therefore, the ancestral hall is Lu Yuan's residence.
It was true ten years ago and it will be true ten years from now.
And Zhang Xiaofan...
"to be honest!"
Tian Linger growled fiercely.
Zhang Xiaofan immediately explained obediently.
The cause and effect are simple.
A group of hungry wolves and a group of lambs were imprisoned together, and the middle fence was not an iron fence, but a wooden fence. It was normal for the group of hungry wolves to be anxious.
After all, wooden fences are ultimately too fragile.
If you want to be a flower picker, don't do it.
The alert level of Qingyun Sect is not that low.
However, it is still possible to go out and stroll around casually.
The premise is, don't get caught.
Therefore, this has become the exclusive right of some extremely high-level disciples. They can take advantage of this opportunity to come out and try to see if they can meet by chance and have a romantic encounter under the blessing of the starry night and bright moon.
To be honest, this move is bold.
But to be honest, if you don’t try something, you really won’t get the result. Whether the result is good or bad is unknown.
Plus curiosity can kill the cat.
In addition, the crush also appears.
Zhang Xiaofan got excited and followed Zeng Shushu's logic, followed Zeng Shushu out, and then parted ways halfway.
Zeng Shushu went to meet him by chance.
Zhang Xiaofan followed Tian Linger.
It can be said that the relationship is in chaos.
But the outcome of the matter was relatively satisfactory.
For Lu Yuan, he had seen everything he wanted to see. Although Zhang Xiaofan, the elm bump, came at the wrong time, Zhang Xiaofan, the elm bump, came at the right time.
And Lu Xueqi also left.
I didn't notice the two little tails at the back.
This is also a good thing.
Thinking of this again, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at Tian Linger who pulled Zhang Xiaofan's ears and turned red. He couldn't help being silent for a moment, and then he gave instructions:
"Ling'er, don't pull it."
"There are some questions I need to know."
"I can also answer your questions."
Hearing this, Tian Linger nodded.
He let go of his hand very obediently.
Zhang Xiaofan also became more or less sober. He withdrew his infatuated gaze and glanced at Lu Yuan. Then he lowered his head timidly and said calmly:
"Senior brother, just ask!"
"We'll do our best to answer."
Tian Linger didn't think as much as Zhang Xiaofan thought.
Zhang Xiaofan was worried whether Lu Yuan would ask about Brahma Prajna. After all, although Lu Yuan seemed to know what happened back then, he never said anything, so Lu Yuan should not be able to confirm it.
But Zhang Xiaofan didn’t want to lie in front of Tian Linger.
But Zhang Xiaofan couldn't break his promise.
This is what Zhang Xiaofan is worried about.
Tian Linger, on the other hand, is very simple.
Hearing Zhang Xiaofan say this, he was speechless. He patted Zhang Xiaofan's head angrily, and then retorted tiredly:
"you're so dumb?"
"Why can't we ask first?"
"You have to answer it yourself, I'm going to ask anyway!"
While talking, Tian Linger also crossed her waist.
Lively, smart, and slightly spicy.
"Junior brother, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and that Lu Xueqi? I have seen it. You stretched out your hand to stop her from leaving!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckled:
"From a regular basis, it is actually the best order for me to ask you to answer first, but since you insist on reversing this order, it is not impossible."
"My relationship with her is rather complicated."
"In detail, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell clearly at the moment."
"So, to make a long story short: The relationship between me and her is a complicated love-hate-killing relationship, all of which is her unilateral desire to welcome and reject, but some things cannot be explained, and some mistakes cannot be helped. make up."
Hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Tian Linger immediately lost her mind. Her eyes were a little red for a moment, and she stamped her feet angrily. Then she ran to Lu Yuan and hugged Lu directly under Zhang Xiaofan's heartbroken gaze. Yuan, regardless of it, growled:
"You are my little junior brother!"
"What love, hate and kill... has nothing to do with me!"
"What kind of rejection is welcome, what kind of mistake..."
"These can all be made up for and modified!"
"Just like us before!"
"Anyway, I don't want you to be snatched away by her!"
Lu Yuan was speechless and held his forehead.
very good.
Tian Linger's child's temper broke out again.
But he really didn't have time to change Tian Linger.
The most urgent task is to clarify some things.
However, comfort must be given.
Otherwise, Tian Linger wouldn't be able to listen to him.
After talking about it, Lu Yuan felt that his patience seemed to have grown a lot. If he had faced a crying and fussy child like Tian Linger in the past, he would probably have directly taken violent measures to control Tian Linger. Linger.
But now, he took a gentle approach to persuade Tian Linger.
Is it the eye of destiny?
Lu Yuan was not sure.
But it's always a good thing.
Therefore, Lu Yuan patted Tian Linger's back with his backhand, first used his movements to stabilize Tian Linger's mentality, and then said softly:
"Okay, okay, I am your junior brother."
"From beginning to end, I will never be robbed."
"It's as if I'm a madam."
"Don't get excited yet. I think it's necessary to speak clearly about some things. It just so happens that there are only three of us here, so it would be better to talk some things out."
Tian Linger raised her head in confusion and looked at Lu Yuan.
What did you say?
Is there anything I need to say?
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, and he opened his legs, ready to take off. Soon, he found that he had been fixed in place. Except for his upper body, which could still move, his lower body seemed to be buried in the earth and stone, unable to move at all.
At this moment, Tian Linger's mood had completely calmed down. Lu Yuan naturally let go of Tian Linger and turned his attention to Zhang Xiaofan.
"Do you say it yourself, or do I say it for you?"
"Don't think you can hide it from me."
"Five years ago, you couldn't hide it from me."
"Five years later, you still can't hide it from me."
"I know it's hard to talk about this, but just because it's hard for you to talk about it, it makes the most sense for you to talk about it at this moment."
"After all, I'm just a bystander."
"In other words, everyone is a bystander."
"No one knows the bitterness in your heart. I can only do normal analysis, inference and narration, and will not let anyone feel the bitterness in your heart."
"So, I have some words for you to say."
"I leave this choice to you."
"If you don't say it, I will."
Lu Yuan said it to this extent, so Zhang Xiaofan naturally understood it.
Even Tian Linger on the side more or less guessed the truth of the matter, and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Zhang Xiaofan:
"Zhang Xiaofan, tell me!"
"What exactly did you hide from me?"
"Or, what exactly do you want to say?"
Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a long time.
The air was also quiet for a long time.
Lu Yuan waited for a long time.
Tian Linger also waited for a long time.
Both Lu Yuan and Tian Linger could see Zhang Xiaofan's constantly moving lips, and could even barely understand a few words with poor lip language. However, until a long time passed, when Zhang Xiaofan's lips stopped moving, Zhang Xiaofan still did not spit out half of his words. Come in one word.
It can be said that introversion has been brought to the extreme.
Anyone who had learned the essence of Zeng Shushu would not be in such a miserable state at the moment.
Tian Linger gradually withdrew his gaze.
There was no disappointment, no excitement.
Some are just as calm as water.
"He still won't tell."
Tian Linger reminded Lu Yuan softly.
Lu Yuan nodded and said softly "Yeah".
Zhang Xiaofan instantly raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan with pleading eyes, as if begging Lu Yuan not to tell what was in his heart.
But Lu Yuan knew.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!
If it is an ordinary thing, there is indeed a saying that long-term pain can be used to relieve and heal the pain, but when it comes to secret love, what is needed is not time, but the courage to make a prompt decision!
Extending your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife!
Then why keep shrinking?
Is it to show his weakness?
When it’s time to be decisive, be decisive!
Be weak when you should be weak!
It can also be said that weakness is for better decisiveness!
And people’s potential is always forced out!
Zhang Xiaofan's situation is different from Lu Yuan in Douluo.
When Lu Yuan was in Douluo, it was mainly because of his extreme reaction when his three views were shattered by Tang Hao. If someone could kill Tang Hao at that time and correct Lu Yuan's ideas in time, or Tang Hao would not take action and let Lu Yuan slowly change. In terms of his own three views, Lu Yuan's personality will not be distorted.
But Zhang Xiaofan does not have this problem.
What Zhang Xiaofan lacked was courage, so he could only bury his love for Tian Linger in his heart, and constantly deny himself. In the end, he reduced himself to nothing, resulting in lack of confidence in anything, doubting life, and even worrying about gains and losses.
If this continues, it's depression and mania.
As for Lu Yuan, what he had to do was to pull out the thorn that was getting deeper and deeper at once. No matter what Zhang Xiaofan thought about Tian Linger's rejection, he got a positive answer.
Even though he was disheartened, he finally came to his senses.
If you continue to like me, you will do it until death.
All in all, I won't be like now, wavering in the middle, not knowing what to do, and can only choose to question myself.
And these were the only help Lu Yuan could give Zhang Xiaofan before he left. After all, if he left like this, the secret of Caomiao Village would no longer be hidden.
With Zhang Xiaofan's current mentality, and without Lu Xueqi and Baguio as spiritual support, it is possible that he could not stand the stimulation for a while and go crazy.
Lu Yuan had no ill intentions towards Zhang Xiaofan.
Therefore, I don’t even want Zhang Xiaofan to have some uncontrollable changes due to his intervention, or even go crazy in the end.
That would undoubtedly make him feel very guilty!
