Yan Yueli knew that Ji Beichen was really tired, so she didn't get up to refuse and let him rest on her knees.
Yan Yueli raised her hand and caressed Ji Beichen's cheek, and said softly: "Why is Achen here in the backyard? How is the rookie competition going?"
Ji Beichen felt Yan Yueli's delicate hands brushing across his skin, and a warm current flowed out from the bottom of his heart, and the fatigue on his body was swept away.
When Ji Beichen saw Yan Yueli asking about the rookie competition, he said: "Junior Sister Lu and Junior Brother Yan were both injured and have gone to the Soul-Living Valley with Senior Baishi for treatment. Bai Fuxi... committed suicide out of fear of sin."
Ji Beichen knew that Yan Yueli stayed by his side every step of the way because he was worried that someone would do something bad to him, so he hid the fact that Bai Fuli was silenced, not wanting Yan Yueli to worry.
Yan Yueli knew how powerful this heart-taking powder was. Although the poison was not very toxic and would not cause death after being poisoned, it would lead the poisoned person to fall into boundless inner demons. A person with a weak will is very likely to be unable to get out of the world in his lifetime, which is equivalent to a living dead.
Yan Yueli said with some worry: "Miss Lu is injured... Achen doesn't have to follow her? After all, she is the junior sister who grew up with you!"
Yan Yueli understands this kind of relationship between brothers and sisters, and he also has fellow disciples who practice together. Especially Ji Beichen. He was lonely and helpless back then, and he and Lu Xinrui were childhood sweethearts. He should take more care of her now.
Seeing that Yan Yueli was so reasonable and considerate of him, Ji Beichen raised his head and looked at Yan Yueli. He smiled and said, "I will keep her in mind, so I won't look at her. But you, Li'er, have been following me around people these days. You’ve been working too hard, you should take a break!”
Yan Yueli looked down at Ji Beichen's handsome face, shyly planted a kiss on his forehead, and said softly: "I'm not tired, you can just close your eyes and rest for a while!"
Yan Yueli saw Ji Beichen quietly closing his eyes, her thoughts wandering away. She knew that this sword trial meeting, attended by almost the entire cultivation world, was not as simple as she thought.
At the conference, there were many immortal sects and various forces competing. Every detail of the conference is intricate, and problems may arise if you are not careful. As Ji Beichen is in charge, the punishment must be clear and convincing, because the entire cultivation world is paying attention to this.
Yan Yueli was about to say something more to comfort Ji Beichen, but she heard the gradually calmer breathing coming from her knees. The corner of Yan Yueli's mouth raised slightly, her Ah Chen had already fallen asleep!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the wing, and someone shouted from outside the door: "Mr. Chen, something happened at the venue. Master Li, please come and take a look!"
After the Cangxu Sect's rookie competition, the next rookies to come on stage were all young monks recommended by some relatively large and prestigious gangs, including the Changyang Gang.
When Ji Beichen rushed to the venue, Qiu Qianren, the deputy gang leader of the Changyang Gang, was bringing the gang's rookies to the ring, preparing to compete on stage.
Ji Beichen immediately understood that nothing happened at the sword test conference venue. The person who just came to the backyard was an insider of the Changyang Gang. Qiu Qianren came not to send his disciple to the stage, but to find him.
Ji Beichen went to look for the person just now, but he had already disappeared without a trace. His heart sank, knowing that he had been careless. That man was able to enter the inner courtyard, which showed how deep he was hiding. It seemed that he also asked Li Kuisheng to pay close attention to the movements of the Changyang Gang in the next few days.
Sure enough, after Qiu Qianren sent his disciple to the arena, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood in a hidden part of the arena, waiting for Ji Beichen to come forward.
Ji Beichen saw that there was no way to escape, so he rushed forward. When Qiu Qianren saw Ji Beichen coming, he immediately showed a treacherous smile and approached him: "Hey, isn't this the silly apprentice of the little demon girl of Yan Yue Sect? How come he has transformed into Mr. Chen of Mu Mansion!"
When Ji Beichen saw that Qiu Qianren was so direct and did not give in to him, he thought of the previous massacre of the Mu Mansion by the Changyang Gang and the fact that the leader of the Changyang Gang, He Zhixing, had poisoned Mu Qing for many years, and his heart immediately burned with anger!
But Ji Beichen knew that this was not the best time to confront the Changyang Gang. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "Deputy Gang Leader Qiu also knows that I am just a young disciple of the Cangxu Sect who was seriously injured and just wanted to save his life. Before, I could only commit myself to the demon girl in order to survive.
Now the villain's internal injuries are very serious, and he may never be able to regain his former cultivation level. By chance, I recognized Mu Qing as my adoptive father, so that I could have my own place in Cangzhou City.
The villain has long heard that the Changyang Gang's power is spread all over Cangzhou City, but the villain has never been able to visit him. I hope Deputy Gang Leader Qiu will forgive the villain's rudeness! "
Qiu Qianren couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Ji Beichen, who had just been so famous in the ring, being so humble to him.
Qiu Qianren nodded with satisfaction to Ji Beichen and said, "That little demon girl of Yan Yuezong is so obsessed with you, you have some skills!
Now that Mr. Chen has recognized Mu Qing as his adoptive father, we are his own family, and I don't have to hide him. Our Changyang Gang came to participate in the Sword Trial Conference this time. The purpose is to win the prize in tomorrow's 'Arena Competition'. We hope Master Chen can help us with the Sword Heart Qin! "
It was okay for Qiu Qianren not to mention Mu Qing, but when he mentioned Mu Qing, Ji Beichen's anger burned again. Thinking of the toxins accumulated in Mu Qing's body for many years, he wished he could kill Qiu Qianren in front of him on the spot.
Ji Beichen suppressed his anger and listened patiently to Qiu Qianren's words. He saw that Qiu Qianren asked for something from him.
Ji Beichen had an idea and came up with a plan. He cupped his hands towards Qiu Qianren and said, "It's easy to talk about. Let's compete in the arena tomorrow. I will definitely clear all obstacles for Deputy Gang Leader Qiu!"
Seeing that Ji Beichen agreed so readily, Qiu Qianren became less suspicious of Mu Qing's "rebellion".
It turns out that He Zhixing, the leader of the Changyang Gang, received a secret letter from the Youzhou City Lord the day before yesterday. The secret letter mentioned that Mu Qing had just accepted the adopted son Ji Beichen. This person's identity was questionable, and he asked the Changyang Gang to pay attention to the Cangzhou City Lord. government's movements.
After receiving the secret letter, the gang leader He Zhixing sent him to Wuyou Town to participate in the sword trial meeting, trying every means to seize the Jianxinqin and test his "adopted son" Ji Beichen.
Qiu Qianren felt relieved at this time, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said arrogantly: "Since you are Mu Qing's adopted son, you must know his physical condition. This is the elixir given by our gang leader. You hand it over He surrendered. Tomorrow the gang leader and I will be present. If you behave well, the benefits will be inevitable. The leader of Cangzhou City should have been replaced a long time ago!"
Ji Beichen felt humiliated and accepted the porcelain bottle handed over by Qiu Qianren, and said respectfully: "Thank you, leader, for the medicine. I'll be waiting for you two tomorrow!"
Seeing Qiu Qianren walking away, Ji Beichen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. As his anger surged, Ji Beichen activated the true energy in his Dantian and quickly injected the true energy into his right palm.
I saw Ji Beichen gently grasping it with his right hand, and the porcelain bottle containing the elixir was instantly crushed by him. The fragments of those porcelain bottles also dissipated in Ji Beichen's hands, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.
Ji Beichen murmured to himself at this time: "What you owe our Mu family, I will let you pay back double tomorrow!"
The results of today's rookie competition, except for some accidents in the first game, there were no emergencies in the subsequent competitions.
As for the monks left at the end of the rookie competition, it was no surprise that the elder of the Huan Mie Sect and the female cultivator of the Yuyin Sect was Li Yuwan. The mysterious monk from Youzhou City gave up the competition and never showed up.
The leader will compete between the Huan Mie Sect and Yu Yin Sect. The monks in the audience all felt that the Red Scorpion Double-edged Sword was superior to Li Yuwan's Qingfeng Yuexiao. Moreover, the Scorpion is still at the ninth level of repelling objects, which is more than a little higher than Li Yuwan's first level of repelling objects.
However, what is unexpected is that the Scorpion Elder of the Huan Mie Sect announced his withdrawal from the competition, and the leader of the rookie competition became Li Yuwan of the Yuyin Sect!
The monks in the audience were in a state of excitement when they heard this result.
Some monks cried out for the Cangxu Sect: "When did the Yuyin Sect gain such great reputation? If the Cangxu Sect hadn't fallen into the Chenghuan Sect's trick, the leader would still be theirs!"
There are also many monks who are curious about the behavior of the Huan Mie Sect and wonder: "Why does the Huan Mie Sect want to give face to the Yuyin Sect? Is it possible that the Huan Mie Sect has been imprisoned for ten years and now they have learned well?"
A Qiongzhou monk who understands the situation in Nanqiong explained: "You don't know the changes in the situation in Nanqiong in the past two years. The Yuyin Sect now has many disciples, and there are also many monks in the Nascent Soul stage, who have risen rapidly in the world of cultivation. I heard that they are in the capital. It is also quite powerful and has the potential to overshadow the Cangxu Sect!"
In short, after the sword trial meeting, the reputation of Yuyinmen has only improved. Although the Cangxu Sect never cared about these false reputations, many monks felt sorry for the Cangxu Sect.
With the conclusion of the rookie competition, the schedule for the first day of the World Conference has come to an end. After nightfall, a starlight market will be opened in the pine forest on the outskirts of Wuyou Town.
The Starlight Market at the Sword Trial Conference is a Jianghu intelligence network that Li Kuisheng and a Jianghu person have jointly run for many years.
The source of information is the "brokers" who sell all kinds of information in Starlight Market. Starlight Market, on the other hand, puts this kind of "hidden" transaction in the open.
Because these "brokers" have signed a "life and death contract" with Li Kuisheng and paid a large amount of "deposit", the information sold from the Starlight Market can be guaranteed to be accurate and reliable.
At the annual Sword Trial Conference and at the Starlight Market after dark, you can buy news about the world of cultivation, news about the capital, and news about heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Whatever you want to know, you can buy it with money.
The trading method of Starlight Market is also very special. The market is located in a pine forest with sparse trees, ensuring both safety and privacy.
After dark, when the market begins, everyone entering the market must pick up a mask at the entrance of the market and enter in disguise. There is no physical transaction at the market. Instead, various information is obtained through auctions, and the highest bidder wins. The information obtained from the auction will be delivered to the customers in the early morning of the next day.
After the competition in the ring, Ji Beichen did not go to the Yizheng Mansion to find Yan Yueli first, but returned to Juhe Jianzhuang. Li Kuisheng said that he would introduce someone to him, and said that this person was also his father's best friend.
Ji Beichen changed into light clothes in the wing room, which was a blue python pattern arrow sleeve suit. He tied his hair with a blue hairband and hung the Cangxu Sword on his waist. He looked heroic and immortal.
When Li Kuisheng saw Ji Beichen arriving in the front hall, he introduced a middle-aged man to him: "Ah Chen, come and meet this uncle!"
I saw the middle-aged man, wearing half a black mask on his face, wearing a black knight's uniform, and a scimitar on his waist. He looked like an assassin in the world.
When the middle-aged man saw Ji Beichen coming, he immediately clasped his hands in his fists, knelt down on one knee and said, "Mr. Chen, I have suffered!"
