Seeing his opponent approaching, the Wuji Peak disciple wanted to dodge, but his feet were entangled, so he could only quickly gather his true energy in his chest and forcefully receive the palm.
But the energy he gathered in a hurry could not block the opponent's prepared attack. He just heard a muffled grunt, and the vines under his feet turned into little fluorescent lights and disappeared at that moment.
His figure immediately flew out and landed under the ring.
After the Wuji Peak disciple landed, his body swayed, his face flushed, and he returned to normal after a while.
After standing firm, he cupped his fists at the Wuji Peak disciples on the stage and said, "Junior brother Ling Yunxi is so good at what he does, I admire you!"
"Accepted!"
The Wuyin Peak disciple named Ling Yunxi also cupped his fists towards the audience and responded humbly, without the arrogance of a winner.
The competition on the stage here has ended, and everyone watching the battle has dispersed and gone to other arenas to watch and cheer for the disciples of their own lineage.
None of the Zileifeng disciples participated in the competition today. Bu Xiaotian took Yun Ying and Yun Hao to watch a few more competitions at random between several arenas. Under the Zhenzi stage, he met someone who was also watching the competition. Blue cloud heart,
When they met Lan Yunxin, she was watching the competition on the stage attentively.
The two people competing on the stage at this moment are a man and a woman. Judging from their clothes, one of them is a disciple of Wuji Peak and the other is a disciple of Yuzhu Peak.
Bu Xiaotian vaguely felt that the woman was a bit familiar. He should have seen her in the team at Yuzhu Peak during the meeting the day before.
Looking at the woman not far away who was watching the competition on the stage intently, Bu Xiaotian felt inexplicably happy at first, but when he saw the long sword "Moye" in her hand, he remembered the scene between the two yesterday, and thought of The legend told by her made her feel a little bitter.
For a moment, I felt mixed emotions in my heart. I actually stood there in a daze and did not immediately go forward to say hello.
On the other hand, Ying'er's eyes lit up when he saw Lan Yunxin. He came to Lan Yunxin's side in a few steps and shouted:
"Sister Yun Xin!"
Lan Yunxin heard Yun Ying's voice, turned around, and saw Yun Ying at a glance. Naturally, she also saw the somewhat stunned Bu Xiaotian and the somewhat shy Yun Hao beside her.
When he saw Bu Xiaotian, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. A smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Ying'er, Junior Brother Bu, Junior Brother Yunhao, you are here."
"Senior Sister Lan."
Seeing that Lan Yunxin actually remembered him, Yunhao respected her a little more and quickly bowed.
"Well, we all belong to the same sect, so there is no need to be so polite."
Seeing Yun Hao's respect, Lan Yunxin couldn't help showing a gentle smile and said to the three of them:
"Come over here and watch the competition together."
"Okay, okay! Sister Yunxin, you are the best!"
When Yun Ying heard Lan Yunxin's words, he immediately cheered and ran to stand next to Lan Yunxin.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lan!"
When Yun Hao saw Yun Ying passing by, he also thanked him, then stood next to Yun Ying and watched the competition on the stage.
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian had been standing there without saying a word, looking a little distracted, Lan Yunxin couldn't help but shouted again in confusion:
"Junior Brother Bu?"
"Ah, Senior Sister Lan, what's the matter?"
When Bu Xiaotian heard Lan Yunxin's voice, he came back to his senses and asked quickly.
"Come over here and watch the competition together!"
Lan Yunxin saw Bu Xiaotian looking a little dazed, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"okay."
After saying that, Bu Xiaotian also took a few steps forward and came to the side of several people. Whether intentionally or not, Bu Xiaotian stood behind Yun Hao, some distance away from Lan Yunxin.
Fortunately, the competition on the stage here had just begun. There were not many people watching the competition, and they were standing very sparsely, so it was hard to see anything wrong.
After Bu Xiaotian stood still, he stopped talking and raised his eyes to the ring, looking very attentive to the competition.
But no one knew that although Bu Xiaotian seemed to be watching the battle very seriously, staring intently at the two figures flying up and down on the stage, his mind had already wandered to an unknown place.
After a few glances at Bu Xiaotian, who was watching the competition on the stage without saying a word, Lan Yunxin flashed an inexplicable color in his eyes, and said no more, turning to watch the competition on the stage.
As time went by, the competition on the stage became more and more intense, and more and more people were attracted and flocked to the audience. The originally loose crowd gradually became crowded.
Unknowingly, Bu Xiaotian and Lan Yunxin were squeezed into one place. Feeling the figure close at hand, a faint girlish fragrance seemed to penetrate into Bu Xiaotian's nose. Bu Xiaotian's face looked a little helpless. redness.
On the other hand, Lan Yun had a nonchalant look on his face, he was still so indifferent, and it seemed that there was nothing strange about him due to such a close contact.
But no one noticed that when Bu Xiaotian's crowd was squeezed to Lan Yunxin's side, her hand holding the sword tightened slightly.
The atmosphere between the two was slightly weird. Although both of them were staring at the competition on the stage, their minds were elsewhere.
Finally, in this somewhat subtle atmosphere, the competition on the stage started again with two figures clashing. Only a muffled groan was heard, and the male disciple of Wuji Peak fell down the stage. Accompanied by a burst of cheers from the audience, this The competition finally came to an end, and the female disciple from Yuzhu Peak won.
It was already the end of the day, and the sun was setting towards the distant mountain tops. As an elder announced that today's competition was over, everyone on the field gradually dispersed.
Bu Xiaotian and Lan Yunxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and each took half a step to the side.
When they found that the other party had made the same action, they felt a little embarrassed and didn't speak for a while.
When the winning woman on the stage also walked off the stage, Lan Yunxin and others came forward to congratulate her, and the two parties separated in the square.
At this time, Yun Ying had already taken Yun Hao and ran away somewhere, and there were fewer and fewer disciples in the square.
Since Bu Xiaotian and Lan Yunxin were close to the edge of the square, there were not many people there.
Lan Yunxin glanced at Bu Xiaotian, raised her steps and walked slowly towards the railing. Seeing this, Bu Xiaotian followed her without saying a word for some reason.
Lan Yunxin held her hand on the white jade railing, feeling the slightest chill passing through her fingers. She looked at the sunset in the distance, reflected red by the setting sun, and didn't know whether she was talking to Bu Xiaotian or to herself. Talk to yourself.
Just listen to Lan Yunxin say softly:
"What a beautiful sunset! Do you think it's beautiful?"
"Although the sunset is beautiful, it is the end of the day. After this short period of splendor, the dark night is coming, and no matter how beautiful the sunset is, it will disappear in the dark night."
Bu Xiaotian looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and the glow in the sky, but he remembered that in that quiet and peaceful mountain village many years ago, there was a beautiful woman who looked at him with a smile under the glow in the sky, and he couldn't help but feel Feeling a bit sad.
"Even if it eventually disappears into the night, at least it was once gorgeous, right?"
Lan Yunxin was slightly surprised when she heard Bu Xiaotian's words, and couldn't help turning her head to look at him, just in time to see the flash of sadness on Bu Xiaotian's face.
"It's all going to disappear anyway. Even if it's so gorgeous right now, what's the point?"
Bu Xiaotian didn't know what was wrong with him. He always wanted to refute Lan Yunxin when talking to her.
"How could it be meaningless? Seeing this beautiful scene always leaves a good memory for people, doesn't it?"
"Um."
Hearing these words, Bu Xiaotian responded thoughtfully, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes and a heartfelt smile on his face.
Seeing Bu Xiaotian like this, Lan Yun was a little curious about what he was remembering, so he asked softly: "Junior Brother Bu, looking at you like this, do you think of something or someone from the past?"
"Um."
Bu Xiaotian nodded slightly.
"What is it?"
"My mother."
"Can you tell me about it?"
When Lan Yunxin heard Bu Xiaotian's answer, a curiosity arose in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask, but she regretted saying it. After all, it was Bu Xiaotian's own business and had nothing to do with her, so she hurriedly said:
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I was the one who was abrupt."
Bu Xiaotian glanced at Lan Yunxin and saw a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. This was the first time he had seen her look like this.
Then he turned his gaze to the clouds in the distance that were dyed red by the setting sun, and slowly said:
"I have been living with my mother in a remote mountain village since I can remember. The people there are very kind to us. My mother is very beautiful, as beautiful as you. She is like a fairy from heaven descending to earth."
Lan Yunxin's face suddenly turned red when she heard Bu Xiaotian's words, but Bu Xiaotian was already immersed in memories at the moment, so he didn't notice anything strange about her.
“Although our life was not very wealthy, I was very happy at that time. My mother would wait for me to come home for dinner every day at sunset.
She always looks at me with a smile as bright and gentle as the morning sun, but there is always something hidden in her eyes, like a small dark corner where the sun cannot shine.
I didn't understand what it was before, but now I understand that it was a trace of sadness that was too thick to be resolved. "
Bu Xiaotian paused when he said this, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, as if he was stuck in memories.
"What about your father?"
Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Lan Yunxin asked aloud.
"I have never met my father, and my mother has never told me about my father.
When I was little, I sometimes wondered why other children in the village had fathers, but I didn’t.
But every time I asked my mother why my father wasn't with us or why he abandoned us, she looked very sad. She just said that my father had never abandoned us, so I stopped asking. . "
"I think your father must have had no choice but to leave. Do you ever resent him?"
Lan Yunxin didn't know when she approached Bu Xiaotian, with a trace of sympathy on her face.
"I have resented him before, but although my mother almost never mentioned my father, every time I asked about him, there was sadness and pain in her eyes, but there was never a trace of resentment.
Then I gradually understood that he would never abandon us, mother and son, if he had no other choice. "
Bu Xiaotian's voice was very low, and there were some indescribable emotions in it.
"I think your mother must be a very good person."
Lan Yunxin saw that Bu Xiaotian was in a very depressed mood when talking about his father, so he changed the topic.
"Well, she is the best woman in the world."
Bu Xiaotian nodded heavily and said:
"When I was young, I always hoped to grow up quickly, then honor her, double the compensation that my father owed her, so that she could live a happy life."
