Gu Jue didn't expect that after Lu Sangjiu asked him to wait for a while, he went to find someone to help him.
He stared blankly at the sincere smile on her face, and something in his heart gradually softened...
He suddenly felt that whether she liked him or not was actually not that important.
Even as just a friend, he can still feel the warmth and strength she brings.
After a while, he smiled softly and said simply, "Okay... thank you very much."
Not long after, Feng Lin and Chi Yan arrived, fully prepared.
Lu Sangjiu said a few more words to a few people. Gu Jue was eager to save people, so he didn't delay any more, and the three of them left together.
Luo Linlang, who had been watching the whole process, couldn't help but sigh softly when he was about to leave, "What a good person. Junior sister, why can't you think about it, don't you have to be involved with that Buddhist cultivator?"
At first, Luo Linlang had almost forgotten about Xie Ningyuan, but when she found out that Lu Sangjiu had actually given him the spot to enter the Sword Tomb, she immediately beat her chest and stamped her feet again, calling her junior sister, "You are confused."
Lu Sangjiu was already numb to the senior sister's messy manipulations, and he didn't want to explain. No matter what she said, she would always respond with "Ah, yes, yes," or "As long as you are happy."
This made Luo Linlang lose interest, and it was only at this moment that she couldn't help but sigh again.
Lu Sangjiu was too lazy to answer, yawned and went back to the house to sleep.
Luo Linlang was so angry that her eyes widened, "What a piece of wood!"
The next day, Lu Sangjiu's group of relatives and friends left, injured, and even Xiang Qian said he had something to do and couldn't come.
She was going to participate in the finals now, but she seemed a little alone.
But just as she stood still, she heard Xie Ningyuan's voice behind her, "Why are you the only one, looking so pitiful?"
Lu Sangjiu didn't feel that he was very sad at first, but now he heard Xie Ningyuan's voice and felt inexplicably happy.
She turned around suddenly and saw Xie Ningyuan, dressed in red, slowly walking towards her from a short distance away.
There was a bit of a smile on his face, as beautiful as a painting.
"When did you come back?"
Lu Sangjiu happily stepped forward and asked.
"I just rushed back, luckily it was in time."
He raised his chin and motioned to her, "Hand out."
"...Huh?" Lu Sangjiu couldn't help but be wary and suspicious, "What are you doing?"
Xie Ningyuan said angrily, "You don't have to be so defensive about me, can I still eat you?"
Lu Sangjiu said confidently, "Who knows if you will do something strange again and want to bind me to you in public?"
Xie Ningyuan: "...then do you want to stretch it or not?"
Lu Sangjiu glanced at him hesitantly, but finally slowly extended his palm.
"Forget it, I'll trust you again."
Xie Ningyuan just smiled gently, and then he held something in his hand and placed it in her palm.
Lu Sangjiu blinked and looked at the storage bag in his palm, "This is..."
"This is a gift for you, I'll look at it when I get back."
Although Lu Sangjiu was a little curious, she just put the storage bag away after he said so.
Xie Ningyuan turned slightly sideways and looked towards the ring, "Where are you going to rank this time?"
Lu Sangjiu was speechless: "...What do you mean I'm going to be ranked where I want to be? It's like I can be ranked wherever I want to be."
Xie Ningyuan looked at her with a half-smile, "Isn't it?"
Lu Sangjiu did not deny it, only said: "...Don't let the other two people hear what you said, otherwise they will have to risk their lives to beat me."
While the two were joking, the referee also officially announced the rules for today's final.
To put it simply, each of the three players played twice, for a total of three games.
The one who wins both games is ranked first, the one who wins one game is ranked second, and the one who doesn't win one is ranked third.
If all are one win and one lose, then everyone will continue to challenge the losing side until the final winner is determined.
As for the order of competition, it is determined directly by the referee.
However, before the official competition, the people from the Gold and Silver Sect said that they would officially draw the lucky places to enter the Sword Tomb today.
As soon as he heard the word lucky, Lu Sangjiu had a bad feeling.
She couldn't help but look around, and sure enough she saw Ye Zhiyao's figure in the crowd.
Her injuries probably haven't healed yet, and her figure looks much thinner.
His face was pale and he looked a little inconspicuous among the crowd.
Lu Sangjiu was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt... was her aura as the heroine weaker?
It seems that being defeated by Luo Linlang last time also had a certain impact on her destiny as the heroine.
Lu Sangjiu suddenly felt very interesting.
Although she is the only one who knows the secret that Ye Zhiyao is the heroine, she is trying hard to change this fate.
But other people inadvertently did something that broke their fate.
Just like weeds growing in the cracks of rocks, maybe they don't understand many big principles and don't have such lofty ideals.
They just rely on their feelings and want to live.
Perhaps even without her, Ye Zhiyao's so-called heroine's fate is destined to not go smoothly.
This is the fateful counterattack given by thousands of weak creatures who are insignificant in the eyes of Heaven.
The light of the fireflies is weak, but when gathered together, it is a light that cannot be ignored.
Ye Zhiyao seemed to notice Lu Sangjiu's gaze, and she suddenly raised her head and looked towards her.
Across the crowd, Lu Sangjiu could clearly see the hatred in her eyes at that moment.
Lu Sangjiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled silently at her.
Hate it, hate it, she is destined to not have her name in the much-anticipated sword competition finals.
At this moment, the names selected by the head of the Gold and Silver Sect among the contestants were also announced.
"The lucky person this time is... Qi Qing Sect, Ye Zhiyao."
Hearing this result, Lu Sangjiu was not surprised at all.
Ye Zhiyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic!
She knew that she was favored by God.
So what if you lose? She finally got the qualification to enter the Sword Tomb!
At this moment, she clenched her fists and couldn't help but cast a provocative look at Lu Sangjiu.
She had a hunch that Mu Xianjian was definitely hers!
Unfortunately, Lu Sangjiu was not looking at her at all, and was talking to Xie Ningyuan at this time.
Xie Ningyuan: "Isn't your fellow disciple's luck a bit too good?"
Lu Sangjiu: "Did you notice it too?"
Xie Ningyuan touched his chin and said: "It can be considered that we have been in contact a few times. I can feel it a little bit."
"But..." He looked at Lu Sangjiu, "You seem to be able to defeat her. When she met you, she didn't seem to go so smoothly."
Lu Sangjiu was immediately pleased by this sentence, "Really?"
Xie Ningyuan was a little funny, "...Why are you so happy? Do you hate her so much?"
Lu Sangjiu nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I hate it, I hate it so much."
After a pause, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she stared at him with stern eyes and said, "How about... you help me kill her?"
