"The first test of the second round..."
Zhu Ying had a straight face, showing no emotion or anger, and her tone was extremely calm.
"Liu Xinsheng!"
He also did not expect that Dugu Xuanqing would directly choose to abstain.
Watching Dugu Xuanqing walk down the platform, the scene just now made him somewhat unforgettable.
Just before the stick of incense, Liu Xin and Dugu Xuanqing boarded the platform from both sides.
The strange thing is that Dugu Xuanqing didn't bring his gun, so he came up with bare hands.
Everyone is still speculating, is Dugu Xuanqing also going to learn from Ning Yi and use his fists to fight the enemy?
"You can't defeat me without a spear!"
Liu Xin looked at Dugu Xuanqing in confusion.
"I know this. After I came up, I actually wanted to talk to you about something.
It's a bit inconvenient down there. "
Dugu Xuanqing was able to barely transmit sound from within, but he did not control his voice into a bunch.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to do it, but he didn't need this skill before.
He only started to learn this technique after participating in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition.
Of course, this requires extremely high requirements for the control of internal strength.
With Dugu Xuanqing's strength, it is not easy to achieve this level in a very short period of time.
Generally speaking, internal power transmission requires at least a senior mid-level Dacheng state to achieve it.
And Dugu Xuanqing is just a low-level Dacheng state.
On the other hand, Liu Xin was able to do it with great reluctance before, which was completely thankless.
But now that he has the power of the stars, his control over his inner strength has reached a new level.
So the two of them started transmitting internal energy on the high platform.
Everyone under the high platform raised their heads and looked at this scene strangely.
There was a glint in Zhu Ying's eyes. The two of them used their internal power to transmit sounds on the high platform, putting aside their terrifying talent for controlling this technique with their cultivation.
What Zhu Ying wants to know more is why they use internal power to transmit sounds. What are they talking about?
Why can't others know.
On the high platform, Dugu Xuanqing was communicating with Liu Xin Neili.
"I know you are a disciple of the Tianyun Peak Holy Sect."
Dugu Xuanqing said with a calm face.
"Um?
Okay, with the strength of your Luoshen Villa, it is indeed not difficult to find out my identity. "
Liu Xin said indifferently, his identity had already been leaked out like a sieve, and he only had one need now, that is, he hoped that the leak would be slower.
As for keeping this so-called secret, he had given up hope.
Anyway, the imperial court did not expressly stipulate that disciples of his Holy Sect were not allowed to enter the imperial court as officials.
“It’s not your identity that Luoshen Villa found out.
I was just blasting you. "
"Damn it, you look so cold and indifferent, you seem to have an indifferent temperament.
I didn’t expect that he would also defraud people. "
"Because I am curious about your identity, so I made this move.
Of course knowing your identity is nothing to me.
Originally I wanted to have a good fight with you.
It can be regarded as a challenge to the Holy Sect who is the number one in the righteous way for Luoshen Villa. "
"Shouldn't the number one right path now be Emperor Wu's City?"
Liu Xin looked indifferent, but Dugu Xuanqing frowned, a little confused.
"How can you, as a disciple of the Holy Sect, enhance the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"
"What does this mean? Do you think being the number one on the right path is so easy? If you want to be the number one on the right path, you must shoulder the responsibility of being the number one on the right path!
With great power comes great responsibility, you’ve heard it too. "
Dugu Xuanqing nodded, expressing his agreement with Liu Xin's statement, but there was still confusion in his eyes.
“The Holy Sect has never had a precedent of becoming an official in the court.
Are you here to test the waters for the Holy Sect? "
"This question involves our sect's development strategy, so it's very suitable to talk to you."
"Okay, sorry, I was abrupt."
"You came on stage just to tell me this?"
"Of course not, I just wanted to invite you because of something.
But I don’t know whether you put the imperial court first or your identity as a Jianghu person first? "
"Does it make a difference?"
"Of course there are."
Dugu Xuanqing nodded solemnly.
Looking at the two people above standing there motionless, one moment and the other nodded, the people watching below all looked puzzled.
You guys are just guessing riddles here.
Is the scenery above beautiful, or are we down below not worthy of hearing your secrets?
I’m really angry!
"Of course I still prefer the identity of a Jianghu person."
Liu Xin thought for a while and said.
"That being the case, it's easy to handle."
Dugu Xuanqing said with a sincere face:
"Then I would like to invite Brother Liu to come to our Luoshen Villa next year around the Lantern Festival."
"Luoshen Villa? Why should I go?"
Liu Xin asked, there was no reason to suddenly let him go there, did he think he was stupid?
Although Luoshen Villa is a righteous sect, you can't just invite me there.
Who knows if you want to hold me hostage because you covet my talent.
Seeing the vigilance on Liu Xin's face, Dugu Xuanqing immediately explained:
"Some changes happened at Luoshen Villa. My sister was asked by the elders in the family to compete in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride.
But I don’t want my sister to fall into the hands of those casual people in the world.
Therefore, participating in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition this time is also for..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Liu Xin looked at Dugu Xuanqing dumbfounded.
He never thought that the other party's reason for participating in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition would be this.
"You don't mean to participate in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition just to find a brother-in-law for your sister."
Dugu Xuanqing shook his head.
"Of course not, I just don't want my sister to be traded by the family.
Although it is said that it is a competition to recruit a bride, in fact, the partner has already been decided.
And I am temporarily powerless to stop it.
We can only come to seek some external help.
The few candidates decided by the family elders are not ordinary people, and ordinary martial arts warriors have nothing to do with them.
Of course, I don’t want Brother Liu to marry my sister, but as long as I can destroy the plans of the elders! "
Liu Xin frowned. In his heart, he felt that this matter was his own business in Luoshen Villa, and it was not easy for him as an outsider to control it.
As if knowing Liu Xin's hesitation, Dugu Xuanqing immediately put forward his conditions.
"If Brother Liu is willing to go, I can give my grandfather's practice diary to Brother Liu."
"Huh? Who is your grandfather?"
Liu Xin was a little curious, and the person who could be used as a condition by Dugu Xuanqing must not be an ordinary person.
But Liu Xin really didn't know who Dugu Xuanqing's grandfather was.
Luoshen Villa is a relatively closed force. Although it is powerful, not much is known about it in the world.
Before Emperor Wu's City, Luoshen Villa was the one with the closest ties to the imperial court among the forces in the world.
"My grandfather, Dugu Shidao!"
Talking about his grandfather, a look of pride appeared on Dugu Xuanqing's face.
Sure enough, Liu Xin's face also showed surprise.
He knew Dugu Shidao. People in the world called him "Listen to the Sea and Watch the Tide", and some people called him the Gunslinger.
He is the best in the world when it comes to using a gun.
The top level of the Dacheng Realm above can compete with the Grandmaster.
These are the exact words of Master Liu Xin.
And Liu Xin remembered that he said this five or six years ago.
This is a real big shot in the world.
At the same time, he was also the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army during Emperor Kangyang's time, but he only served for two or three years.
But no matter what, his name is very loud not only in the world, but also in the court.
Unexpectedly, Dugu Xuanqing turned out to be the grandson of this big boss.
No wonder his strength is so terrifying. At such a young age, he has cultivated the most difficult [Luo Shen] in the world to the Great Perfection state with only the cultivation of the lower level Dacheng realm.
[Luoshen] is recognized as one of the ten most difficult exercises to practice in the world.
The most famous of the others are the two major defense techniques of Buddhism [Fudo Myooh] and [Invincible Golden Body].
Such a big man's practice diary can definitely bring him some inspiration.
It is indeed a big bargaining chip.
Liu Xin estimated in his mind that by that time, he should not be so busy.
Maybe you can take the time to go there.
But of course it's not difficult to go there once, but the thing he has to do seems a bit inconsistent with his identity.
Isn't this a bad marriage?
So after thinking about it for a while, Liu Xin decided...to add money, ah no, add chips!
"I still have to consider this matter. Is your sister willing to have this marriage?"
"Of course he is unwilling. Otherwise, how could I stand up for my sister?"
Dugu Xuanqing said that it cuts through gold and iron.
Liu Xin nodded to express his understanding.
"In this case, I can take over this matter, but just a copy of your grandfather's mobile phone is not enough for me to make a trip."
Dugu Xuanqing frowned. If Liu Xin's request was too much, he would turn around and leave without looking back.
"I wonder if Brother Liu has any other requests?"
“I want to really experience listening to the sea and watching the tide!”
"Huh? You don't look down on me, how can a drop of water penetrate a stone?"
"So your way is called dripping water penetrating stone."
Liu Xin touched his chin. Although [Luoshen] was widely spread in the world, most people still didn't have a good way to deal with this powerful top-level skill.
It is because those who practice [Luo Shen] can be said to be thousands of people with thousands of faces.
Everyone can understand their own way in Luoshen.
Why did a generation of gun god have the nickname "Listen to the sea and watch the tide". It is because the Tao he comprehended from [Luo Shen] is called Listening to the Sea and Watching the Tide.
But now Dugu Xuanqing said that his own way is called dripping water penetrating stone.
"Because I want to see the power of being famous in the world!"
"Why, Brother Liu thinks my methods are not strong enough?"
Dugu Xuanqing raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, but after all, even my old man respects the gun god's ability to listen to the sea and watch the tide. Of course I want to see it, kid!"
"If that's the case, I'm very sorry. My grandfather may not have been in the villa during that time."
"Huh? It would be a pity if you're not here.
But it doesn't matter, he is your grandfather anyway. Just remember to owe me this thing later! "
"Okay, in that case, it's a deal!"
The two discussed everything, and Liu Xin finally got into position, preparing for a wonderful showdown with Dugu Xuanqing.
"Brother Liu, I don't want to fight, I will give up this round!"
Dugu Xuanqing hugged Liu Xin's fists, turned around and walked towards Qianxia.
This time Dugu Xuanqing did not use his internal power to transmit the message, but spoke normally.
Liu Xin looked at the other person's back in confusion, not knowing what happened.
Didn't we just negotiate a condition? Why did you give me one as a gift after the negotiation?
It's not my request to take the initiative to admit defeat.
There is no need to do this.
"Dugu...Brother Dugu, we don't have to do this!"
Dugu Xuanqing stopped, turned to Liu Xin and said:
"It's not that I want to give up, but Ning Yi hurt me.
I can't get hurt now, and my goal has been achieved, so there's no need to continue. "
After the message transmission was completed, Dugu Xuanqing walked off the stage gracefully.
When Dugu Xuanqing arrived in the audience, he bowed respectfully to Zhu Ying.
"My lord, I will abstain from this round!"
After saying that, Dugu Xuanqing walked away gracefully, leaving only his back to everyone.
Zhu Ying was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
It took him a long time to react, and he glanced coldly at Liu Xin on the high platform, and finally reluctantly announced the result of this round.
As soon as the results came out, everyone was furious.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
Liu Xin and Dugu Xuanqing didn't even exchange a move, and the result came out like this. Wasn't it a little too hasty.
You are from Luoshen Villa after all!
Zhu Ying had already heard the whispers of the contestants.
And he himself took another look at the direction Dugu Xuanqing left.
"This is the Jianghu people. Without rules, there is no rule!"
Zhu Ying muttered to herself, then turned her head and saw Liu Xin walking towards the high platform.
Huangfu Rongjiang and others had already approached, wanting to ask what happened between the two.
Facing everyone's doubts, Liu Xin looked at Ning Yi.
"If you want to know the cause of the matter, you shouldn't ask our Ning Yi."
What happened under the high platform has been reported to the big bosses in the hidden stands.
General Qin grabbed the general by the collar and yelled:
"I've long thought that there was something fishy about your Zhengyang martial arts competition this time. Tell me, are you trying to fake the match?"
The general was about to cry but did not dare to resist. He could only be dangled in the air by Old General Qin by his collar.
After all, he is also a general. Isn't it shameful to be held by the neck like this?
Fortunately, apart from a few elders, he is the only one here.
Otherwise, he would definitely draw his sword and kill himself in shame.
"Sir! The general will definitely not dare to fake a match. Oh no, he will create a fake match."
"Are you sure? Are you sure you are not colluding with Qin Guogong Tuoba Yunhan?"
The old general Qin was so angry that he called Duke Qin by his name.
He pulled the general to Qin Guogong, who was speechless.
"My elders!"
Duke Guo of Qin found that all the elders were looking at him with sharp eyes.
The current situation does indeed look like match-fixing.
"Don't you think about who the invigilator is this time?
He, Mr. Zhu San, has never been at odds with me. Don’t you, the elder, know that? "
"Huh? The third child of the Zhu family doesn't want to deal with you?"
There was disbelief in the eyes of Old General Qin.
"You have such a good relationship with Lao Zhu, how come you have bad relations with several of his boys?
I heard that Zhu Laoer used to be your adopted son..."
Suddenly, General Qin closed his mouth and loosened his hand holding the general, realizing that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
However, given his status, there was no need to explain. He just looked at Duke Qin apologetically.
The second son of the Zhu family had died on the battlefield, and his body has not been found yet.
This matter has always been a common pain in the hearts of Wu Guogong and Qin Guogong.
But Qin Guogong had a light smile on his face.
“This is all in the past.
It’s not just a matter of a day or two that Young Master Zhu Third has disagreed with me. Ever since his second brother died on the battlefield, his dissatisfaction with me has become a kind of stubbornness.
It's good enough that he doesn't get involved in my affairs and cause damage. "
After Duke Qin finished speaking, General Qin did not continue to hold on to him.
He waved his hand and drove the general away. The general hurried away as if he was about to receive amnesty.
"Then why did Dugu Xuanqing abstain from voting in this round?
With his strength, he even has a greater chance of winning. "
In fact, what the old man didn't understand the most was that Dugu Xuanqing, who clearly had a greater advantage, voluntarily announced his abstention.
If it is a person who is obviously not as strong as Liu Xin, then it is reasonable to abstain.
It is obvious that Dugu Xuanqing is better than Liu Xin in terms of cultivation and current state.
Under such circumstances, Dugu Xuanqing's abstention became very strange.
"You should ask Mr. Ning about this matter."
Duke Qin pointed at Old Monster Ning beside him.
The latter looked at Qin Guogong in confusion.
"I'll go, don't be so blunt in your attempt to blame others.
What does this have to do with me? "
"Although I don't know the specific reason, I know that this matter must be related to your son.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at it! "
Duke Qin pointed to the elders in front and looked over there, only to see that everyone had surrounded Ning Yi.
"It seems to be really related to Old Monster Ning's son."
Old General Qin murmured in a low voice.
"Hey, that kid just now, let him go and investigate."
As a result, a general hurriedly ran under the high platform.
Under the high platform, everyone surrounded Ning Yi.
Ning Yi looked at Liu Xin confused.
"Brother Liu, what do you mean?"
"Ning Yi's abstention has a lot to do with you!"
Liu Xin said without changing his expression.
"Ling Yaoyao just told me on the high platform because you hurt him.
So he was not sure he could beat me.
But he didn't want to get hurt.
Therefore, he directly chose to abstain. Anyway, he did not participate in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition to finally show his face in front of His Majesty. "
Liu Xin explained.
Although everyone still had doubts, they all turned their attention to Ning Yi.
No one could see when Ning Yi injured Dugu Xuanqing.
Even Ning Yi himself looked confused.
When did I hurt Dugu Xuanqing?
