On a dark and windy night, a nimble figure walked through a narrow alley, climbed over the tiles on the wall, and finally stopped in front of a remote courtyard.
Li Chuan was meditating in the house when he suddenly heard a sporadic sound of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. He stood up and opened the courtyard door, and saw a little girl with a mask standing outside the door.
The little girl asked crisply: "I saw that the young master's hall was darkening. I counted with my fingers and figured out that the young master will be in trouble in the near future."
Li Chuan knelt down, looked at the little girl carefully, and asked hesitantly: "Are you Xiang Junxue?"
"No, no, the young master should ask me how to solve the disaster now." Hua Ruxue shook her head and denied her identity. If it weren't for Li Zangzhi's sake, she would have prepared her sack.
Seeing that Li Chuan had not cooperated for a long time, Hua Ruxue said to herself: "Even if you don't ask, if you are kind like me, I will tell you the solution. Remember not to go out before noon tomorrow."
Li Chuan opened his mouth and was about to say something when Hua Ruxue waved her hand towards him. A pleasant aroma suddenly emerged from the surroundings, and then a bright voice came into his ears:
"You're welcome, sir. It's my honor to be able to help you."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chuan's vision went dark, his hands and feet became weak, and he fell to the ground.
"Someone is coming." Su Yi appeared outside the courtyard at some point. He helped Li Chuan up and took him back to the courtyard.
Hua Ruxue closed the door quickly with quick eyes and hands, hiding her breath behind the door, and thought to herself: It came so fast.
Ten breaths later, a high-pitched voice sounded outside the door: "Have you made up your mind, kid? I'll be waiting for you."
After a while, the courtyard door was opened, and a thin man wearing a cloak, hat and mask came out after hearing the sound. It was Su Yi dressed as Li Chuan.
The man standing outside the door glanced at Su Yi contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Are you wrapped up so tightly to avoid being seen? Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's a big deal tonight, so restrain yourself."
After speaking, the man led the way without looking back, and said sincerely from time to time: "Of the six families in Guanyun City, the Yu family is usually the most low-key. If you don't want to, it is just calm on the surface, but privately it is more fierce than the An family. Tonight, the Yu family The young master's people came to you just to deal with Yu Wushuang. When you see the sixth master later, no matter what he asks you to do, you must first do it! Do you hear me?"
The man didn't get a response for a long time, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace, as if he couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour, and his tone became impatient: "Why don't you speak? That's right, you are so stubborn, it's okay not to speak, don't make me angry It’s Mr. Liu.”
A quarter of an hour later, the two hurriedly walked into the small courtyard at the end of Thirteenth Street in the West District.
The house was already filled with seven people. The man leading the way smiled and walked towards the man in yellow who was sitting in the center of the table. He said flatteringly: "Sixth Master, you have brought everyone you asked for. Is there anything you need?" Despite my instructions, this kid doesn't speak much, so you just think he's mute!"
The man named Liu Ye put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Su Yi arrogantly. After a long time, he looked back and threw a bag of spiritual stones to the man who was leading the way. He waved his hand and said, "You did a good job in this matter. Come on down." !」
"Thank you, Mr. Six. It's a small honor to serve Mr. Six." The man who led the way thanked him quickly after receiving the spirit stone. He bent over and walked out of the house without even looking at Su Yi.
Mr. Liu picked up a glass of wine and walked up to Su Yi. He first gave a few false compliments: "Li Chuan, right? It's better to see him than to hear him for a long time. He has a very malleable talent."
"It's not a big deal to call you here today. I just want to discuss a business deal with you."
Master Liu observed Su Yi's expression as he spoke. If this person shows any reluctance, he must be kept here for the sake of the overall plan.
Su Yi reached out to take the drink and lowered his voice: "Sixth Master is joking. If you are lucky enough to get to the end, you must cooperate fully."
When Master Liu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and looked at Su Yi with a hint of admiration. What this means is: If I can enter the eight-person competition and face Master Yu, I will definitely cooperate with him and lose to Master Yu.
I thought he was an incomprehensible idiot, but I never expected that the person in front of me understood everything before he even explained his purpose.
"You are really a malleable talent. Just give it your best tomorrow. I am optimistic about you."
Liu Ye felt extremely happy. With Li Chuan on their side, Yu Wushuang would definitely lose tomorrow.
The other six people at the table raised their glasses and congratulated, "Sixth Master and Young Master Yu will definitely get what they want."
Hua Ruxue looked at the other six people at the table through the window. These six people plus Li Chuan made a total of seven people. They were all monks who would compete with Yu Wushuang tomorrow. It had to be said that the Yu family was really wealthy.
Directly bribe seven people at once... Not only seven people, the seven who will be in the same ring with Yu Wuqing tomorrow must have also been bribed. If they can't be bribed, they will find a way to make them miss tomorrow's game.
If Li Chuan doesn't follow Liu Ye's wishes tonight, Liu Ye will definitely keep Li Chuan and choose one of the other six people to help him successfully defeat Yu Wushuang and then let him lose to him in the finals. Jade is unrivaled.
After thinking about this clearly, when Hua Ruxue lit incense, I couldn't help but light one more. Yu Wushuang is her boss. Anyone who dares to harm her boss or prevent her from earning spiritual stones will be spared!
After a while, the room was filled with fragrance and silence fell everywhere.
Su Yi opened the door and walked out. Hua Ruxue pointed to the sack on the side and asked him to come and help. The sack was untied, revealing Li Chuan who was sleeping soundly.
Hua Ruxue explained: "This is a soothing incense made from the pollen of the sixth-level flower demon. It is also called a good sleep. The effect is as the name suggests. In addition to the incense that makes people sleep, it does not cause any harm to the body. If you drink alcohol It will only make you sleep better."
At first, she expected that Yu Wuqing would bribe Yu Wushuang's opponents in advance, so as to counter Yu Wushuang's army. Hua Ruxue asked Lin Feng to investigate the traces of several people. She originally wanted to convince them with force and defeat them one by one, but Su Yi suggested that irrelevant people should not be put into danger, so the current catch-all approach was adopted.
Su Yi took off his cloak, put it on Li Chuan, and then moved him into the house.
In this way, in Liu Ye's eyes, Li Chuan and the other seven people participating in the competition are always on the same front as Yu Wuqing. No matter what happens tomorrow, Liu Ye will not anger them.
"Yu's move does not seem like choosing an heir." Su Yi glanced at Mr. Liu, who was sleeping soundly on the table. He remembered Hua Ruxue's previous speculation about Yu Wushuang and continued to share her views. :
"The heir is related to the family's honor. From character to strength, he must undergo strict assessment. During the assessment process, you can only rely on your own strength, and all forms of cheating are strictly prohibited. The Yu family is different from the An family. The Yu family has always been low-key and stable, so it should be I will not pin family matters on a sudden competition."
All monks living in the inner city are eligible to enter the Sword Burial Mound to select famous swords. Therefore, among the 500 monks participating in the sword trial meeting, except for Yu Wushuang and Yu Wuqing, they are all monks from the outer city.
There is no reason for the Yu family to let the younger member of the family who is most likely to become the next head of the family sneak into the outer city of Swords and Eyes to compete with them for the top spot.
"If you say so, the actions of Yu Wushuang and Yu Wuqing are indeed childish. Such an upright bribe is for fear that others will not know that the Yu family is rich and powerful."
Regardless of whether Yu Wushuang asked someone to help her get the top spot, or Yu Wuqing bribed the participants behind their backs, both of these methods were disrupting the order of the competition and smearing her own reputation. When others saw it, who would not say the previous sentence: using your power to bully others , Use money to deceive others!
Even if he wins the title of leader, his name is not justified and he will be looked down upon by others. No matter how he thinks about it, it will be useless.
However, Hua Ruxue's mind is now full of spiritual stones, and she has no time to delve into the purpose of Yu Wushuang and Yu Wuqing's personal participation in the sword trial meeting.
Anyway, her purpose in participating in the sword trial competition was to enter the top eight and take Su Yi into the Sword Burial Mound. In any case, it did not conflict with Yu Wushuang's purpose.
Su Yi saw that she was obsessed with winning the sword trial competition for Yu Wushuang, so he had no choice but to leave it to her.
Although the eighth-grade Phoenix Spirit Pill is precious, it is not the only one. Therefore, Yu Wushuang's statement of "participating in the sword trial competition to become the leader and obtain the Phoenix Spirit Pill" is not true.
Becoming the leader of the Sword Trial Conference is not as Hua Ruxue guessed, it is a successor assessment.
What does it mean to be the leader?
Hua Ruxue and Su Yi walked out of the yard one after another, and after dealing with these people, Yu Wushuang was steadily promoted tomorrow. However, in order for Yu Wushuang to win the first place in the sword trial competition, she only had to pass the retest.
Not nearly enough.
Thinking about it this way, the sword cultivators at the top of the list are quite an eyesore...
On the second day of the Sword Trial Conference, the sixty-four arenas in the competition venue were reduced to eight, and the group list was freshly released.
Hua Ruxue yawned and walked into the venue tiredly. She had not slept all night. At this moment, she just wanted to finish typing and go back to rest.
However, there were still two quarters of an hour left before the start of the game, and Yu Wushuang hadn't arrived yet!
Hua Ruxue turned around and left the venue. Unexpectedly, Yu Wuqing not only wanted to bribe Yu Wushuang's opponent, but also directly extended his black hand to Yu Wushuang!
She greeted Lin Feng and Su Yi who were waiting at the side, and said uneasily: "Yu Wushuang hasn't shown up yet. I put her in the inn under Li's name last night. I'll go to the inn first."
Lin Feng looked around and saw that there were only twenty monks entering the venue, so he comforted him:
"Boss, don't worry. Miss Yu is straightforward and sincere. No one in Guanyun City will hurt Miss Yu. There are less than one-third of the people present. Miss Yu may be delayed by something. Brother Yi and I will go to see Miss Yu." The city’s house.”
"good."
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Hua Ruxue gradually calmed down. Anyway, she had already received the deposit of three million spirit stones. No matter what happens, it will not be refunded!
If Yu Wushuang disappears like this, she will get the leader and then sell the Fengling Pill. In this way, she will not lose money! Z.br>
The three soldiers were divided into two groups. The inn was only one street away from the venue, so Hua Ruxue quickly arrived at the inn.
Pushing open the door, I saw Yu Wushuang lying motionless on the bed, as if she was asleep. Hua Ruxue slowly approached Yu Wushuang. The room was filled with the faint fragrance of lotus. This fragrance seemed to have some kind of power. You can't help but close your eyes and take a deep nap.
Hua Ruxue hurriedly took a refreshing pill to stay awake, and said to herself: There is indeed something wrong with this fragrance. If it had been discovered earlier yesterday, this kind of thing could have been avoided.
Fortunately, he was just in a coma. Compared with the seven Li Chuans who could not be present, as long as Yu Wushuang could come to the ring, he would win!
As for the rest, let’s wait until we pass the re-examination first.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Yi and Lin Feng received the message and returned to the venue. They saw Hua Ruxue sitting cross-legged on the ground, her little hand supporting her chin, her eyes under the mask lost their luster, and there was a quilt in front of her.
Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Boss! What happened?"
Hua Ruxue shook her head helplessly. She originally thought that Yu Wushuang had been sleeping until now because of someone's trick, but after some inspection, she was extremely sure that Yu Wushuang was really just sleeping...
Hua Ruxue carefully recalled the scene on the first day of the sword trial meeting, and found that there was no picture of Yu Wushuang in her mind yesterday morning, not even a corner of her clothes.
It means that Yu Wushuang was not there at all yesterday morning...
If you want Yu Wushuang to become the first in the sword trial competition, it is not enough to defeat your opponents...
Add money! Must add money!
