When Luan Xiu saw Shao Xi's expression, she understood in her heart that the Cuiyu sword in her hand was just thrown to her by Shao Xi.
Luan Xiu felt grateful to Shao Xi for being able to help her win this competition at such a critical moment.
But she didn't notice that the expressions of the four uncles standing aside and seeing all this were quite complicated.
You must know that this Cuiyu Sword was originally the treasure of the Qianyu Sect. It had been lost for more than ten years. At this time, it suddenly appeared in the Qianyu Sect, and what made it appear was such a person they had never seen before. I don’t know who the young man is.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through their minds. The reappearance of the sect's treasure that had disappeared for so many years was supposed to be a gratifying event, but the appearance of the Cuiyu Sword was so strange.
You must know that the four of them spent a lot of time chasing the thief, but in the end they were unable to recover the Cuiyu Sword, and even the "Feiyu Sword Technique" was also stolen.
The sudden appearance of the Cuiyu Sword today reminded them immediately of the thief from back then.
But what confuses them is that the young man in front of them looks to be less than twenty years old. In any case, it is impossible that he sneaked into Qianyumen ten years ago and stole Cuiyu Sword and "Feiyu Sword Technique" That person.
So how did the Cuiyu Sword get into his hands? Why did he suddenly appear in front of the Qianyu Gate today and return the Cuiyu Sword to Luan Xiu's hands at the most critical moment of Luan Xiu's competition?
All of this is like a mystery shrouded in the hearts of each of them.
But now is not the best time to explore this matter. Although the competition has been won, the grudge between Qianyu Sect and Tianyun Sect still needs to be settled.
The matter is serious, and there really is no time to delve into the matter of Cuiyu Sword right now.
Liu Yanyi stepped forward, raised her hands to Cheng Xingyan and Zeng Zhuxian and said, "Young Sect Master, Elder Zeng, the results of today's competition have been announced, and our ten-year agreement has been completed.
"Now that the winner has been decided in the competition, according to the agreement ten years ago, from now on there will be no grudges between our Qianyu Sect and the Tianyun Sect.
"In addition, the Tianyun Sect should also hand over the Sifang Sword and the "Sifang Sword Technique", the treasures of the sect, to our Qianyu Sect. I hope that you two can keep your promise and fulfill the agreement so that this matter can be settled."
It is said that Liu Yanyi's request is not excessive, because the bet for the contest was agreed upon by both parties ten years ago. Now that the contest has been decided, the losing party must fulfill its promise and hand over the bet set ten years ago. The opponent's.
But you must know that the Sifang Sword and the "Sifang Sword Technique" are the treasures of the Tianyun Sect and the basis for the Tianyun Sect to gain a foothold in the martial arts world. A competition will require them to hand over the sect's most precious treasure. Such a thing No matter who it is placed on, it will feel painful.
Especially for a young sect leader like Cheng Xingyan who achieved success at a young age, once he loses these two things, he will have no sense of presence in the martial arts world after he succeeds his father and becomes the sect leader of Tianyun.
Becoming the leader of a declining sect is not something to be happy about, so Cheng Xingyan is not willing to just hand over the things.
So he started to argue: "The competition is between the two of us, why did someone interfere in the middle? I don't recognize the result of this competition."
"Hey! Young Master, it's not kind of you to speak like this! During the competition, the long sword in this girl's hand broke and they didn't stop the competition. Why don't you admit the result of the competition when the sword was changed midway? It doesn't seem to be the case. There is no rule that you are not allowed to change weapons in the middle of the competition, right? Now that the winner has been decided, why do you want to lie and refuse to acknowledge the result of the competition?"
Before Liu Yanyi could refute, the young man who had just presented Cuiyu Sword started to argue for Qianyumen.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Shao Xi waving the folding fan in his hand, walking leisurely into the arena with small square steps, and bowed his hands to the four seniors of Qianyu Sect and Zeng Zhuxian.
He introduced himself to everyone with a smile: "My lord, Shao Xi, Xi of Chenxi is just an unknown person who has just entered the world. It is a great honor to see two major sects competing today. I apologize for interjecting. !”
Everyone present was confused at this time. They had all focused on the martial arts competition before, and no one noticed that such a person actually existed.
And this character that no one paid attention to actually played a key role in this competition. If he hadn't handed the Cuiyu Sword into Luan Xiu's hands, this competition might have had a different outcome.
As for this person who suddenly appeared, no one here knew him. As he said, he was really just an unknown person in everyone's eyes.
But why would such a person appear here? Who is this person? What is the purpose of coming here? Why would a martial arts treasure like the Cuiyu Sword appear in his hand?
This is the question on the minds of everyone present.
But now they saw that he had come in front of everyone, and everyone hoped that he could give an explanation to solve everyone's confusion.
The one who was most surprised at this time was none other than Zeng Zhuxian, because from the way Shao Xi threw the sword to Luan Xiu just now, he could see that this person saw the situation of the competition between the two sides very clearly, and the timing of handing the sword to Luan Xiu was just right. .
It was precisely because of his move at the critical moment that Luan Xiu reversed the unfavorable situation at that time.
Someone who can make such an accurate judgment on the situation and act decisively is definitely not as harmless as he appears on the surface.
The origin and identity of this person are unknown, but they must not be underestimated. This person must be an extraordinary person. It is better to find out the details first.
"This Mr. Shao, I wonder which sect you are a master of? Why are you here at this competition today? In the competition just now, the long sword in the hand of Master Luan was broken. It was her own fault. The master intervened midway. Handing over weapons really disrupted the normal competition, and now this result is indeed unconvincing. I wonder what you think?"
Shao Xi smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Since the two sides are competing in martial arts, then the competition is about real skills. Isn't it unfair for the young master of your sect to gain the upper hand by relying on the tricks on the weapons in his hands? In this case, this What's wrong with Master Luan changing weapons in the middle of the competition?"
Cheng Xingyan immediately felt unhappy when he heard Shao Xi's words. During the competition, he didn't think there was anything wrong with using the special structure of the Sifang Sword to gain an advantage.
Now that he was criticized by Shao Xi, he felt that the other party was looking for trouble and was deliberately going against him, so he reprimanded Shao Xi unceremoniously.
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here? This is how the Sifang Sword in my hand is used, and it is also one of the moves of my Tianyun Sect's Sifang Sword Technique. Why do you think I am trying to be tricky?"
Shao Xi felt unhappy when he saw Cheng Xingyan talking to him.
He had been dissatisfied with Cheng Xingyan's words and deeds from the beginning, but now this guy showed up on his own, so Shao Xi naturally didn't intend to coddle him.
"This is the young master of Tianyun Sect, right? If, as you said, the mechanism on your Sifang Sword is also one of your Tianyun Sect's sword skills, then the head of Qianyu Sect originally used two Sword, if one sword is damaged, immediately replacing it with a second sword is also one of the moves of Qian Yu Sect’s Fei Yu Sword Technique, so what’s wrong with that?”
"You...! You are quibbling!"
Cheng Xingyan was choked up by Shao Xi's words.
They are right. Since the mechanism on your sword is one of the moves in your swordsmanship, then changing weapons midway is also one of the moves in their swordsmanship. Why can you use it and not let others use it?
Seeing that his words had an effect, Shao Xi did not intend to give the other party a chance to argue.
"Sophistry? How can this be called sophistry? If you were facing someone from the Tang Sect in today's competition, wouldn't they be able to use a second hidden weapon after they fired the first one at you? Isn't that also a change of weapons? Isn’t it the same principle?”
"..."
Cheng Xingyan was so embarrassed by Shao Xi that he didn't know how to respond. It seemed that what he said made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Knowing that he was quibbling but unable to catch his flaw made Cheng Xingyan feel as sick as eating a fly.
My heart said, where did this guy come from? This ability to argue without reason is simply perfect, reaching the pinnacle, which is really disappointing to me.
Zeng Zhu saw that Shao Xi was so eloquent and made Cheng Xingyan a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly helped: "Even if it is as Mr. Shao said, changing weapons during the competition is one of the moves in Feiyu swordsmanship, then why? The person she handed over the weapon should also be from the Qian Yu Clan.
"I just asked Mr. Shao which sect he comes from, but he has always avoided answering. Doesn't the fact that Mr. Shao intervenes in the middle mean that outsiders are involved in the competition? With the help of outsiders, even if the Qianyu Sect wins the competition, it will still be invincible. Wu."
Zeng Zhuxian, an old fellow, was indeed very cunning. He saw that Shao Xi had been biting the mechanism on the square sword in Cheng Xingyan's hand, so he deliberately changed the topic and directed the focus of the dispute to Shao Xi's identity.
If Shao Xi couldn't prove that he was from the Qian Yu Clan, then handing Luan Xiu a weapon could be regarded as an outsider intervening in the competition between the two sides.
In other words, Qianyu Sect won the competition with the help of outsiders. In this way, they could not admit the final result of the competition, and they would not have to hand over Tianyun Sect's Sifang Sword and "Sifang Sword Technique" to Qianyu Sect. .
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to play rogue in every possible way, he didn't want to admit that he had lost the contest, and he didn't want to hand over the bet that he had agreed upon before.
Listening to the old guy's question, Shao Xi couldn't help but cursed in his heart, saying, "If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. What excuse can you make?"
"How do you know I'm not from the Qian Yu Clan? Who told you that the Qian Yu Clan only has female disciples?"
"Oh? So, Young Master Shao is also a member of the Qian Yu Clan? I just wonder if the head of the Qian Yu Clan and several seniors of the Qian Yu Clan can prove your identity, sir?"
With that said, Zeng Zhu first turned to look at Luan Xiu, Liu Yanyi and others.
"Can't prove it."
