"that……"
Hong Butian smiled awkwardly and said: "I am very satisfied with the results I can achieve now.
That, competition comes second, friendship comes first, haha. "
"Ah, so..."
The two hosts took a step to the side, revealing the contestants behind them. They looked at each other, counted three, two, and one in their hearts, and spoke together.
"Very good, please listen to us announce the two sides... Oh, wait a minute."
A certain walk-on handed over a note with his head in his hands, then sneaked away with his head in his hands, leaving the two hosts in a mess in the wind.
"Insider! Definitely an insider!"
Hong Li's voice came from the spirit stone in Jin Xiu's hand. She was watching the live broadcast through Jin Xiu, with a face filled with indignation.
"Look at that little piece of paper, it must contain the pre-arranged competition rankings!
I'm shaking with anger, has our traveling world become corrupted, can this world be better, woo woo woo..."
"Hey, how can there be an inside story? There are so many big guys watching."
Jin Xiu rolled his eyes, paused, patted his chest, and said proudly: "Well, this girl is one of the big guys!"
"We are done traveling around the world of cultivation, and you have become a big boss..." Hong Li looked dejected.
"What do you mean! Climb away!"
A tic-tac-toe popped up on Jin Xiu's forehead and he couldn't help but say: "It must be some important announcement. Don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate on the integrity of everyone. There is no inside story at all in our competition!"
"Oh, is it true? I don't believe it!"
Hong Li showed her half-moon eyes and pointed at Hong Butian on the stage.
"If there really is no inside story, how can my brother explain it?
Tell me, how much money did he stuff into you, and how much did you, Jin Xiu, take out of it?
Oh, by the way, do you have a share from me, the sect leader? "
"And I!"
Hei Yang suddenly poked his head out from behind Hong Li and couldn't help but say: "I am the husband of the sect leader, and I also want to take a commission!"
"You two are ready to climb together!"
Jin Xiu sighed helplessly: "Then they got there by luck, what can I do?"
"I, Jin Xiu!"
Jin Xiu snorted, with an upright look on his face: "Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not taking any kickbacks! Absolutely, absolutely a righteous partner!"
"Oh ho, I got it!"
Hongli suddenly realized: "You have been excluded and isolated from the gang. They took advantage of it and did not call you!"
"I'll say it again!"
Jin Xiu suddenly shouted loudly, then quickly covered his mouth, turned around and looked around, and whispered: "We are definitely not an irregular organization, and we have not received any benefits!"
"Are you so sure?"
Hei Yang couldn't help but complain: "What if you are also kept in the dark?"
Jin Xiu: "..."
"I won't talk to you two anymore."
Jin Xiu snorted coldly: "Otherwise, I will be led astray by you sooner or later."
"You are jealous of our wisdom!"
"You are envious of our eloquence!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Master Jin Xiu was very good at preparing fish. He rolled his eyes and looked at the two people in the picture. He always felt that there was something wrong with their postures.
"I said, how did you do this?"
Jin Xiu probed with some uncertainty: "Hongli, are you being held by him?"
"Hmm, did you just find out?"
Hong Li raised the spirit stone high, showing a rosy smile. She leaned her whole body against Hei Yang. She pulled away a corner of the blanket and saw the latter's two big hands on her small waist. She could hold it with just a pinch. live.
Hong Li twisted her body and pointed the picture around her. The blurry boundary under the rain curtain had a poetic and hazy beauty.
"that……"
Hongli smiled sheepishly: "At home, it's normal to be casual...
I just didn’t expect you to call me specifically to invite me to watch the live broadcast, hehe. "
"Oh, it turns out that I'm just being sentimental, right?"
Jin Xiu rolled his eyes: "I'm really sorry for disturbing you two. I'll get out of here right now."
"Oh no no no no."
Hongli quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Don't be excited! It's not mine, it's not mine! Don't be angry!"
"snort."
Jin Xiu snorted: "That's about right."
"that……"
Hong Li approached the Lingshi and smiled shyly: "Don't you think it's more exciting when others are watching?"
Jinxiu: "???"
"Ahem hahaha, just kidding."
Hongli smiled and moved the picture to one side.
"Let's look at the rain scene in the distance!"
Jin Xiu: "..."
"But then again..."
Jin Xiu watched the two of them looking leisurely and comfortable on the roof. The mountains and forests in the distance behind them were washed by the rain, becoming brighter and brighter with each wash.
As the angle of the picture continues to rotate, the ancient old city comes into view. Pedestrians holding umbrellas hurried past, splashing water.
There is a water curtain under the eaves, and there is a row of potholes directly below.
"Quiet, isn't it?"
Hongli smiled softly.
"You guys are living a really leisurely life..."
Jin Xiu looked at the picture with a complex expression, then turned to look at the noisy surroundings. Suddenly she felt weak all over, as if her breathing was more laborious than Hongli's.
"Cultivation, cultivation, cultivation... I've cultivated to the point where I can't even tell what is real."
Jin Xiu sighed. Between the noisy surroundings and the quiet distance, she suddenly had the illusion that she and the Daxiu around her were just mortals.
It seems that the shadow hurriedly passing by in the rain is actually a big man hidden in the world of mortals.
"Girls raised in a quiet town like this will generally have a gentler personality, right?"
Jin Xiuxian asked Hongli: "How come you are such a different person?"
"You really have nothing to say, can you only embarrass me like this?"
Hongli curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Besides, how do you know that I am not a gentle girl? Right, Hei Yang?"
"Ah? Ah!"
Hei Yang, who was offline and in a daze, came to his senses and quickly agreed: "Yes, that's true. Xiao Li is right!"
"Oh, you two got into the same bed together, I don't care, forget it..."
Jin Xiu sighed, too lazy to talk to those two guys anymore, and turned to look at the stage.
"Well, I just received a notification suddenly."
The host smiled apologetically and waved the note in his hand: "The elders and sect leaders voted, and the minority obeyed the majority decision. The final was changed from four to two to a four-person melee, and the rankings were determined according to the order of falling to the ground."
"!!!"
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
"Huh? Elders vote?"
Jin Xiu's eyes widened and he pointed at himself: "How come I don't know? Why don't I know? Why don't I know?"
"You see, being isolated and excluded makes me angry."
Hong Li wiped the tears from her eyes with a sad look on her face: "It's so pitiful, little Xiuxiu..."
"What the hell..."
Jin Xiu almost couldn't swallow her breath. She gritted her teeth and said, "I just don't understand. How can someone like you, a bastard like you? What does he like about you?"
"Of course every bit of it!"
Hongli looked happy and sweet: "I like every bit of him too!"
Jin Xiu was caught off guard and was stuffed with a mouthful of poisoned dog food, and suffered a huge critical damage.
"What I want to emphasize here is that a four-person melee is not a two-on-two team."
The host said to the three people on the stage with different expressions: "Except for yourself, the other three are your opponents. If everyone is aiming for the first place, there is no such thing as joining forces between the same sects!"
"learn."
Zhao Zhuji nodded and carefully looked at the opponents around him.
"Three, are all three opponents..."
Hong Butian's forehead was sweating. How about we start the game better? What does he have to do in a foundation-building fight? He waits for others to die together and then he comes out and wins? What are you thinking! Everyone is not stupid!
"Let's get started!"
Xingyun regained her mood and couldn't wait to say: "I am already in the best condition!"
"Gululu...poof! Poof!"
Hei Xiaolong was swept up from the whirlpool of water on the ground, spitting out the water in his mouth with a gloomy look on his face.
"Well, poof, I have no problem!"
"Very good, please wait a moment, the new chaos arena will be here soon!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the four people slowly walked to the four corners of the ring, took a deep breath, and waited for the signal to start.
"One thing to say, I feel that the elders who agreed to change the rules are definitely not from the Wuliang Sword Sect or the Five Elements Sect."
Hei Yang poked his head out from Hong Li's shoulder and said quietly: "It's probably from other sects. When I see the champion, it's basically either the Wuliang Sword Sect or the Five Elements Sect.
So I thought I'd come here, add trouble to the two winning sects, and have a chaotic fight for fun.
Tsk, I understand everything, it’s just the boss’s task! "
"Still restrained."
Hongli curled her lips.
"If you ask me, just throw four people into a relatively large mountain and old forest, and then show each other's current position every once in a while.
Encountered beast attacks, opponents pretending to form alliances, teammates backstabbing, passers-by exploring and intruding, evil sect conspiracy planning, secret realm emergencies, ancient seals leaked, and so on. This will make it more exciting, right? "
"Don't be like this, Sister Li."
A black line was drawn on Jin Xiu's forehead: "It will be very difficult for the elders to go."
"If you didn't call me, I guess my senior brothers and others helped me vote."
Jin Xiu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Watch the game, watch the game."
"I will win over Brother Butian."
Hei Yang said quietly: "Xiaolong? Sorry, I'm not familiar with him."
"Hei Xiaolong will probably turn black when he hears these nonsense."
Hong Li couldn't help but rolled her eyes and complained: "When the time comes when love turns into hate, Brother Hei Yang, I will kill you over and over again!"
"Ahem, I didn't say anything just now."
"whispering sound."
Hongli twisted her body, curled up her legs and changed to a position lying on her side on Heiyang's chest, and nodded: "Well, then I will win over Xiaoyun! I am unstoppable and win the crown!"
"Game start!"
"Hiss! Is it starting now?!"
Hong Butian took a breath and tried to find a place to hide first. What he didn't expect was that Hei Xiaolong not far away drew his sword and attacked him.
"clang"
Zhao Zhuji drew his sword to block it.
"???"
Hong Buyian had a question mark on his head.
"whispering sound."
Hei Xiaolong snorted: "First deal with Brother Butian, and then deal with that guy with Sister Xingyun.
Finally, I will have a showdown with Sister Xingyun, so that the first and second place will be ours!
So I'm sorry, Brother Butian, there are no relatives or friends on the competition stage! "
Hong Butian: "..."
Hong Butian: "What if I am Xiaoyang?"
"I will definitely help him get rid of Sister Xingyun before giving up!"
Hei Xiaolong answered without hesitation.
Hong Butian: "Haha."
"So much nonsense, I'll deal with you first and then talk!"
Zhao Zhuji snorted lightly and looked at Hei Xiaolong coldly.
"I couldn't win before, so I'll decide the outcome with you! There's no point in picking a weakling!"
"well said!"
Hong Butian cheered and applauded: "Come on, Zhuji! Kill this skinny boy with a bang!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just hide away!"
Zhao Zhuji's aura began to become sharp: "Stop getting in the way!"
"Oh, okay!"
Hong Butian quickly slipped away and turned around to see Xing Yun looking at her with an innocent face: "Ah this."
"Well done, Sister Xingyun!"
Hei Xiaolong was overjoyed: "That's it, I'm stopping her, you go and deal with Brother Butian first, and then help me beat her up!"
"mean!"
Zhao Zhuji gritted her silver teeth: "Shameless!"
"Oh, this is allowed by the rules."
Hei Xiaolong looked disdainful: "Otherwise, why is it called a melee!"
"Ah this..."
Xingyun looked at Hong Butian in front of him, and then at Hei Xiaolong and Hei Xiaolong not far away, and couldn't help but get entangled.
"Ahem, that..."
Hong Butian reminded in a low voice: "If you don't do anything, I will squat over there."
Hong Butian pointed to another empty corner and turned to leave: "I won't disturb you!"
"stop!"
Xingyun suddenly spoke up.
"!"
Hong Butian stiffened, sighed, turned around, and closed his eyes: "Okay, okay, let's do it!"
"You and I……"
Xingyun held the long knife with a tangled expression on his face, as if there were two little people fighting in his head.
Xiao Heiyun: What are you still doing? Let's deal with him. Sister Hongli said that those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!
Xiao Baiyun: But this is just a competition, not a life and death duel. Will it be possible to win without fighting...
Little Black Cloud: Huh? Victory without force? Did we commit a foul? What rule was committed? This is what is allowed!
Xiao Baiyun: But, dad said, you have to be upright in life, and you have to be fair in winning!
Xiao Heiyun: Sister Hongli said that crimes must be carried out cleanly and the corpse must be destroyed afterwards!
Xiao Baiyun: Ah, but...
Xiao Heiyun: Stop it, you said it, dad is watching below, don’t you want to win?
Xiaobaiyun:......
"I see……"
Xingyun took a deep breath, his aura continued to rise, the flames on his long knife rose, he turned around and rushed towards the two people on the side.
"I'll defeat you both first, and then I'll deal with the last one!"
Xingyun shouted: "The champion you get in the end has the highest gold content! Cut the stars!"
"Sister Xingyun is confused!"
Hei Xiaolong's whole body was filled with chills: "We have a clear conscience to begin with!"
"Good junior sister!"
Zhao Zhuji's head was filled with sword aura: "As a sword cultivator, I recognize you and will move forward indomitably!"
"Here……"
Xingyun's eyes were blazing, and he swung his sword downward: "It's the Xing family sword!"
"boom!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the most intense melee this year broke out on the stage!
"How do I feel..."
Hong Butian stood far away, expressionlessly touching the moist feeling on his face, spreading his hands, yes, it was bright red.
"It still seems dangerous?"
"Uh-huh!"
A streak of sword energy passed by, and a few hairs fell from Hong Butian's forehead.
"boom!"
Ice and fire collided, and the hot steam rushed towards him, making Hong Buyian's painting style blurry.
"They must be approaching me..."
Hong Butian showed his dead eyes: "You must be approaching me!"
"Hahahaha! Do you think there's nothing I can do about it?"
Hei Xiaolong responded to the two attacks at the same time, and the ice beneath his feet slowly spread out in the direction of Hong Butian: "Watch me lead the battlefield to Brother Butian, so that he can't be alone! Hahahaha!"
"..."
Hearing the wild laughter, a bunch of tic-tac-toes popped up on Hong Butian's forehead, thinking that when he was a child, he helped him avoid his sister's pursuit... If he was given a chance, he would definitely add insult to injury!
"Don't come over here!"
…………
"Tsk tsk..."
Hong Li couldn't help but click her tongue: "This situation... Hei Yang put me down, I'll get some popcorn."
"Stop, please stop talking for a while."
Hei Yang held the red glass pillow with an expressionless face and stared at the screen intently.
"Watch the game carefully and write 500 words of your thoughts after reading it."
Hongli: "..."
