The sword test meeting was much more lively than Mu Qing expected.
This was a competition that only sword cultivators could participate in. He originally thought that those forces without sword cultivators would at most send someone like Sanxian Island to show up.
But when Lu Tai led all the peak masters and elders of the Wuji Sword Sect to appear together, the voices responding to Lu Tai came and went, and many figures with extremely powerful auras appeared on the platforms above the Falling Sword Valley, without exception. A strong person in the Saint King Realm.
After Lu Manqing's introduction, Mu Qing was surprised to find that not only top forces like Dao Sect, but also numerous first-class forces in the spiritual world appeared here.
In this comparison, the platform closest to Jian Zong where Mu Qing is located appears extremely weak and conspicuous.
"Is that Mu Qing from Suzaku City?"
"Sect Master Lu's disciple is actually staying with this person..."
Discussions on the surrounding platforms continued one after another. When someone wondered why the Lin family and the Gu family were absent, the surrounding discussions became louder after a moment of silence.
As the "insider" news spread, more eyes were directed at Mu Qing, and the attention he received in a short period of time even surpassed that of his master, Lu Tai.
Lu Manqing stood next to Mu Qing, listening to others discussing the conflict between Mu Qing and the Lin family, and said regretfully: "I'm actually looking forward to this competition."
Mu Qing probably guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your breakthrough."
Lu Manqing looked sideways: "I thought I could take advantage of the difference in realm and some geographical advantages to compete with you, but now it seems there is no hope."
Mu Qing said: "We are different. In terms of swordsmanship, I am not as good as you."
"I'll just think you're complimenting me." Lu Manqing forced a smile.
She thought she had a full understanding of Mu Qing, but Mu Qing was not only abnormal in strength, but his speed in breaking through realms was even more abnormal.
She remembered clearly that the last time Mu Qing broke through was in the Mingquan Abyss. It had only been three months since he visited the Holy Abyss Mountain once before breaking through again.
Thinking of this, Lu Manqing subconsciously looked back at Zhe Qianqian and others, and found that not only Zhe Qianqian, but also people like Ying Qing had achieved breakthroughs, and she couldn't help but feel surprised.
Mu Qing looked at a platform a hundred feet away and asked, "Why are everyone in the Zhou family so cold-faced this time? Is it because they are practicing the exercises?"
Lu Manqing shook his head, glanced at the red-haired woman among the Zhou family, and said, "This is also a tradition."
"Um?"
"Didn't you just go to Shengyuan Mountain? Our sect and the Zhou family are naturally at odds with each other."
Mu Qing suddenly understood and took another look at the red-haired woman, "The inheritance of the Zhou family comes from the White Emperor of the West?"
"Yeah. It was the Sword Master who drove them from this snowfield to the far west."
Lu Manqing said slowly: "In every sword trial meeting, other top forces may be absent, but the Zhou family will definitely not be absent."
"Did you see that red-haired girl?"
"Her name is Zhou Shuang, she is at the peak of the middle stage of mortal transformation. If nothing goes wrong, she will be the first in this sword trial competition."
Only then did Mu Qing fully understand the anguish in Lu Manqing's heart: "Your regret is not just because of me, but also because of her, right?"
"Yeah." Lu Manqing said, "Junior brother is probably no match for her, but Master doesn't allow me to play."
At this time, on the platform where the Zhou family was, the beautiful woman next to Zhou Shuang reluctantly looked away from the Jianzong platform, found the direction Zhou Shuang was looking, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lu Tai does not allow his precious apprentice to play. This guy seems to care about these things after he became the sect leader."
Zhou Shuang shook her head, "I'm more curious about the person next to Lu Manqing."
The beautiful woman Zhou Jun raised her eyebrows slightly. She narrowed her eyes and took a serious look at him. She nodded and said, "She is quite good-looking."
Zhou Shuang said with a sullen face, "If the news from the Lin family is true, I am no match for this person."
Zhou Jun sighed softly: "This young man has a deep entanglement with the Gu family. You should not have any interaction with him."
The gazes on the platform crossed each other, and the outstanding young people of this generation in the spiritual world became familiar with each other through words.
The Wuji Sword Sect has prepared extremely rich treasures for this competition, and every contestant who takes the stage can receive a bottle of high-quality Jujian Pill.
Those who enter the top 30 can enter the Sutra Pavilion to choose a swordsmanship classic. The top 20 can get a magical flying sword. The top 10 can not only understand the sword scripture, but also stay in the Sword Sect to practice. .
The Wuji Sword Sect will not require these young people who stay to change sects. They can return to their previous sect at any time if they succeed in their studies, as long as they recognize that the inheritance of swordsmanship comes from the Wuji Sword Sect.
When Mu Qing heard this, he finally understood why so many people attended the sword trial conference.
Even if it is not a kendo force, no force will give up such an opportunity to strengthen themselves and establish friendship with the Sword Sect.
Mu Qingqi asked: "Since there is a traditional grudge between the Jianzong and the Zhou family, is it possible for the Zhou family to agree to stay in the Jianzong to practice?"
Lu Manqing replied: "Everyone in the Zhou family is very cold and arrogant. They won't even be in the top ten..."
Lu Manqing paused slightly, as if thinking of something, and smiled: "But there was an exception last time. I heard from the elders on Wuji Peak that a woman from the Zhou family stayed behind, and she seemed to be interested in Master..."
On the high platform next to him, Lu Tai, who was talking about the scene, glanced at Lu Manqing.
Lu Manqing shut up.
Mu Qing Yile, the emotional relationship in the Wuji Sword Sect is really complicated.
The beginning of the sword test meeting went smoothly, and after the scene was over, it went straight to the main topic.
As the elders of the Sword Sect called their names, tall and proud figures gradually appeared on the high stone pillars in Luojian Valley.
Compared with collisions by other methods, the collision between sword cultivators was the most intense. After the battle began, everyone watching the game felt that they only had one pair of eyes and could not take in all the wonderful moments.
Mu Qing easily found a few familiar figures.
When Zhu Hongyan and Su Wuming both entered the top 20, the first day of competition ended.
Lu Manqing glanced at the bright sun and said, "The top ten will be decided on the second day. In the afternoon, the Hidden Sword Elders will talk about swords in the Qingfeng Hall."
Mu Qingxin said that the wait was finally here, and smiled: "These people have just experienced a battle. It is the time to check for leaks and make up for them. The arrangement of the Sword Sect is very reasonable."
While the two were talking, people in the Falling Sword Valley area began to leave.
Zhou Ming unexpectedly appeared on this platform and took the initiative to invite: "There are several quiet places on Wenji Peak. Come with me."
Mu Qing wanted to refuse, but looking at Lu Manqing who still refused to leave, he nodded and followed Zhou Ming to the arranged residence.
After Zhou Ming left, Mu Qing was still thinking of getting rid of Lu Manqing, but an uninvited guest came over instead.
Zhu Hongyan looked at Lu Manqing who was still here, his eyes suddenly felt strange, and he looked around Lu Manqing.
Lu Manqing quickly explained: "Hongyan, please don't misunderstand me."
Zhu Hongyan chuckled, "You have to be careful, this guy has many confidantes."
Lu Manqing was even more embarrassed.
She had been staying by Mu Qing's side just now. Although she was criticized by others, she didn't feel anything wrong because she had the teacher's orders and Lu Tai was watching from the side.
But now that she was misunderstood by Zhu Hongyan, Lu Manqing, who had a calm temperament, felt uncomfortable everywhere.
At this moment, Murong Jing appeared, supporting Gu Yinghe, whose face was pale, and said: "The things are still left at Huaihe Peak, we have to go back."
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing's calm eyes, his eyes brightened slightly, he nodded quickly, took the initiative to step forward and hold Gu Yinghe's other hand, "Let's go then, we have to continue what happened last night."
The corners of Gu Yinghe's eyes twitched slightly, and she left with the two of them suppressing the thought of explaining.
Lu Manqing still wanted to follow, but he and Zhu Hongyan looked at each other in surprise, and suddenly stopped where they were.
Zhu Hongyan looked serious and reminded, "You can see the relationship between Mu Qing and them, right? A guy who goes out with two women by his side is not worthy of your attention."
Lu Manqing was helpless and took the initiative to explain: "Master asked me to learn from him. There is something in his words.
Just follow what he wants. "
Zhu Hongyan nodded, "But if someone wants to practice dual cultivation, you should follow. If word spreads, your junior brother will be very sad."
Lu Manqing's eyes widened, and he looked at Mu Qing's retreating figure, then at Zhu Hongyan, who had a serious expression, and asked in surprise: "Were you there when he was practicing dual cultivation last night?"
Zhu Hongyan's expression was stunned: "What?"
The two women stood there, one glaring at me and the other glaring at you.
Huaihe Peak, inside the wooden building room.
Mu Qing said: "If I hadn't promised Lu Tai not to let anyone else in the Sword Sect know, there would be no harm in telling Lu Manqing."
Murong Jing shook her head and said, "Elder Zangjian hasn't left yet, please take a look at Yinghe first."
"What?" Mu Qing quickly looked at Gu Yinghe, who was sitting aside without saying a word, "Aren't you just pretending?"
He always thought they were helping him leave.
Gu Yinghe shook his head and stood up with support, "I'm fine. Hongyan and the others have misunderstood, and we can't continue."
Murong Jing quickly helped Gu Yinghe sit down, glanced helplessly at Mu Qing, who was like a goose, and said, "Hong Yan is my sister, and she has always disliked Mu Qing."
Mu Qing came behind Gu Yinghe, put his hand on the back of his heart, frowned and said, "It's strange, your aura hasn't been straightened out yet."
Gu Yinghe opened his lips, not knowing how to explain.
Murong Jing looked sideways. Mu Qing came back from Gu Yinghe very early last night and obviously didn't do things well.
Mu Qing also realized what was going on, and said helplessly: "I thought that after we talked to each other that day, we could become close friends."
"Since the problem has not been solved, why show off and say you can solve it yourself?"
Gu Yinghe said: "It's better not to be misunderstood."
Mu Qing couldn't understand Gu Yinghe's thoughts, but Murong Jing understood Gu Yinghe's awkward thoughts and said in a gentle voice: "Yinghe, I asked Mu Qing to come to you. As long as I don't misunderstand, no matter what others think, it is not important."
Gu Yinghe raised his head and met Murong Jing's eyes. Murong Jing seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Gu Yinghe felt a little guilty and quickly averted his eyes.
Mu Qing straightened out the Qi in Gu Yinghe's body, and practiced with the two girls for an hour before a crisp sword sound faded away.
Mu Qing opened his eyes and said, "I need you to cover for me."
Murong Jing nodded and reminded: "If something cannot be done, don't rush in. This is not a snowfield."
