Lu Li didn't dislike Sheng Xuanyuan, and he was far from liking him. He just found him difficult to get in touch with.
In his impression, ever since Sheng Xuanyuan saved his senior sister from the Hanged Ghost, the relationship between the two of them has always been good, and he doesn't know when it became what it is now.
Is it possible that the rumors from the past few days are coming true? !
He lowered his head and clenched his fists, muttering regretfully to himself: Second Senior Brother, you seem to be a big step too late!
*
Lu Li wanted to talk to Sheng Xuanyuan.
After class that day, he turned down Yang Xiaosi's invitation, also turned down the invitation to practice from several disciples he knew, and blocked Sheng Xuanyuan at the door of the classroom.
When he stood in front of Sheng Xuanyuan and met those piercing eyes like ink, he felt panic in his heart.
This person looks very difficult to mess with. Why do you want to seduce my senior sister? Lu Li thought angrily in his heart.
"Xiao Qi! Why are you waiting for me here today?" Qiong Yi's head popped out from behind Sheng Xuanyuan. She stepped forward to greet her junior brother and asked with a smile.
Lu Li answered truthfully: "I'm here to see Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Xuanyuan frowned: "You're looking for me? What's the matter?" He asked casually, his voice low.
Lu Li immediately changed his words and said timidly: "...No, I'm here to see my senior sister."
"Looking for me!" Qiong Yi said, turning back to Sheng Xuan and complaining, "In that case, I will go back with my junior brother first."
"Yes." Sheng Xuanyuan nodded. He knew in his heart that the cold poison had been removed and the assessment was over. He had no legitimate excuse to stay at her place for a long time.
Lu Li led Qiong Yi out. When he saw that after a certain distance, there was no one around, he asked mischievously: "Senior sister! Why are you so close to Sheng Xuanyuan! There are so many people at the public fence." Next to you, you two are holding hands..."
Qiong Yi was surprised at first, and then said stubbornly: "What's wrong? What's the problem with this?"
"Senior sister...you won't treat him..."
"You still care about my business! You can't even figure out your own red thread, so why are you asking me?"
"My red line? What is that?"
Qiong was also dumbfounded when he asked again: "Senior sister, did I guess wrong? You two just have a good relationship..."
"You guessed it right." Her voice was bright and clear, cutting off Lu Li's question.
Lu Li's eyes widened: "Although Mr. Sheng has been a life-saving grace to you, he is neither considerate nor funny. What's so good about him? In my opinion..."
"He is very good." Qiong Yi retorted without thinking: "He is very good to me, who says he is inconsiderate? He is not considerate of others, but he is considerate of me! Last time I..." Thinking of what happened after the tea house She changed her story: "I was able to get a full A this time because he studied hard with me and taught me arithmetic, day and night! I made mistakes so many times, but he never said If I were too stupid, if I were left at home, my senior brother would scold me several times!"
Lu Li was stunned.
"Besides, I have been in the school for more than two months, so there are some disciples who are in love with each other! I only know of two or three couples! And last year, Zhuzhou and Xu, who came to our home for study tour, have already formed a family. I’m a Taoist companion, and I don’t see anyone saying anything.”
After listening to Qiong Yi talking so much, Lu Li was convinced that she really had grudges against Sheng Xuan, and the thoughts were not small.
He had never seen his senior sister say something good about an outsider like this, but since it was his senior sister who said something good about him, it was definitely not bad.
After all, senior sister has never praised Lu Xu like this.
"Okay, senior sister. It's not that I don't look down on Mr. Sheng, but I'm worried that he will bully you. Since you said so, if there is anything you need my help with, I will definitely help." After finishing speaking, I thought to myself: 2 Senior brother, I'm sorry.
Qiong Yi smiled happily: "Good Xiao Qi! Reliable!"

It's early winter, and it's getting colder every day.
Qiong also went to practice at the foot of Nanshan Mountain as usual, but saw that there was one more person today. Su Ye was trying swordsmanship with Sheng Xuanyuan. The figures were intertwined and the sword light was dazzling. After the point was reached, the two stopped.
"How about it, Lu Xiyan?" Su Ye asked with a smile: "If I fight him on the court, how sure do you think I can win?"
Qiong was also very honest: "I feel like you can't win."
Su Ye said "ha" with disdain.
Sheng Xuanyuan looked at Su Ye and said, "40% sure."
Hearing this, Su Ye smiled and said: "You know how to praise me! I estimate it is less than 20%. How about it, is my sword faster than before?"
"Yes." Sheng Xuanyuan nodded, "You are making rapid progress. If I didn't have the advantage in cultivation, I might not be able to defeat you."
While listening to the chat, Qiong Yi thought of something: "Su Ye, what's your ranking?"
"Me? Normal." Su Ye held Liao Feng in his hand and said nonchalantly: "Testing red tape questions is a waste of pen and ink. I don't write. I write scriptures and talk on paper. I don't use them."
Qiong Yi heard his nonsense with a serious look on his face and coughed several times. Su Ye laughed out loud and said: "I have always performed stably, so I am full of Xuanyuan..."
His eyes fell on Sheng Xuanyuan: "Hahahaha, the sky has eyes, he is finally not at the top of the list. Hahahahaha!"
Sheng Xuanyuan squeezed out three words: "...you are still smiling."
Seeing him like this, Su Ye smiled even more, and went over to talk to Qiong: "He was so angry that he dragged me out to practice swordsmanship so early in the morning. Even though he looked so calm, he was actually very angry. Ranking is a big concern."
"Fortunately, this is not in his clan, otherwise he would have to be punished if he didn't get the first place. I have already reminded him that Yan Tingshen is diligent and willing to learn, but no, he was compared to others!" Su Ye shrugged, looking distressed.
Shen Wei, the mistress of the Sheng clan, was notoriously cruel to her three sons, and Qiong also knew it.
Sheng Xuanyuan ignored Su Ye and said to Qiong Yi, "I didn't ask him to come. He planned to hold a competition in the ring and came to challenge me."
"A martial arts contest? Is Su Ye preparing to marry?"
"Bah! Bah! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. Have you ever seen men compete in martial arts to find a bride? Besides, I, young master, do I need this? There are more girls who like me than I can count on my hands!"
Qiong Yi stretched out his hand to look into the distance and stared at the sky for a long time: "Why did I see a cow in the sky? Oh, it turned out to be Su Ye who blew it up."
Su Ye laughed angrily at her words. He raised his head and pretended to be serious and said, "I'm not bragging. It's because you don't know how to appreciate me and can't see my charm!" He added, "I want to organize a martial arts competition." Because I fight with Brother Yan every day, and we are familiar with each other's routines. Nothing is new. I think that all sects and tribes have different martial arts skills. Why not invite everyone to come together, and we can also sharpen our swords and grow up? Long eyes.”
He stretched out two fingers and nodded: "I've thought about it all! Rent a piece of land in the town to build an arena, and then call in a few older clan members from the Su family to be referees. We will compete and pay a deposit, and the audience will bet back their money. , Tens of thousands of dollars will be spent to make money, and we can just hire part-time workers in the town to handle the aftermath."
"Last time, I had a fight with Brother Yan in the town. A group of people gathered around to watch, and they all clapped and applauded. It was probably a surprise. So I thought that there would be a viewing area for the martial arts competition, and no doubt people from all over the country would want to come. Let’s join in the fun, it’s easier to do business when there are a lot of people, and when the fighting is over, I’ll take you to have a drink!”
Qiong Yi was just listening casually with a smile. Seeing that he was serious about what he said, he guessed that he really wanted to organize a competition. He mused: "If you just plan it yourself, everything will be complicated and it will not be as simple as you think. What's more, After the match starts, given your temperament, you will probably be immersed in fighting, and you won’t want to take care of any trouble, big or small."
Sheng Xuanyuan nodded: "I told him so too."
"Tsk, that's right." Su Ye folded his hands in front of his chest, pacing and thinking.
"I suggest you discuss the martial arts competition with Sect Master Su." Sheng Xuanyuan sat up with his hands on his hands and pursed his lips: "If it works, he will naturally support you."
Su Ye frowned: "Sheng Xuanyuan, he told me before that you can't make close friends by arguing with swords, but I just don't believe it."
"He is so old-fashioned that things will change. I have to prove to him that it is possible to judge one's heart with a sword. How can the children in the academy and the tourists in the world treat each other sincerely, how can they not make friends? Others don’t have to believe me, but you have to believe me!”
Sheng Xuanyuan looked at him for a long time and nodded: "I never said I didn't believe you."
"Good brother." Su Ye smiled and patted Sheng Xuanyuan twice on the shoulder. "Then we agreed that you will fight for the championship and fight seriously." Then his eyes turned to Qiong Yi.
"what about me?"
Su Ye hesitated for a moment: "... If you are strong, team up with me, if you are weak, send me to the other side as a support."
"Don't look down on people, I'm not weak!" Qiong Yi stood up and said with great momentum.
He had never seen Qiong Yi wield a sword, but he had seen her suffer several times. Su Ye really didn't believe how powerful a little girl who was even afraid of ghosts and couldn't even deal with Su Changming was, most likely just using words. After asking Sheng Xuanyuan in the morning, he said that he had never fought against Qiong Yi, but her cultivation level was not low and her swordsmanship was very stable.
"Come on, Lu Xiyan, let's compete with each other. You promised me a long time ago that you would fight me." Su Ye waved to Qiong Yi with his sword in hand, and the two of them stepped back a few feet away. Qiong Yi held the xiange sword: "Okay! Don't let me go."
"That's natural!"
Su Ye drew out the Wind Sweeping Sword and rushed towards Qiong Yi. The light from the sword flew out. Qiong Yi knew that he couldn't touch him head-on. He flew up behind him with his point-taking Qinggong. With a sudden slash, Su Ye turned around to catch the sword and picked one up with his backhand. The sword flower stabbed, but it was empty.
He wondered: Is it a shadow? So fast!
This was Su Ye's first thought. When he reacted, he no longer knew where Qiong Yi was. He turned around and saw a bright sword slashing directly above him, followed by a clear shout.
It's a scam! Su Ye heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him. It was so small that it was difficult to distinguish. He noticed the clue and reacted quickly. He immediately gave up the idea of advancing with the sword, retreated by mistake, and took the sword thrust from Qiong Yi behind him.
Sheng Xuanyuan, who was watching from a distance, saw Qiong Yi use the sword in actual combat for the first time. He was familiar with Su Ye's moves and routines. To put it simply, the sword was fast. He could strike three swords at the speed of one strike by others. Pressing hard, the martial style is sharp. His level of Qi is not higher than mine, but he is very good at fighting and has extremely quick reactions.
What surprised Sheng Xuanyuan even more was Qiong Yi. She and Su Ye were able to fight with ease, and she had the momentum to overwhelm him.
She moves so fast, she is faster than a sword, her moves are clean and neat, her rhythm is well controlled, and she is also very good at attacking in the east and west, Sheng Xuan said resentfully.
As he watched, his brows furrowed slightly: However, her strength seemed a bit weak and she could not control Su Ye's sword movement at all. If this continued, any mistake would slow down the rhythm.
Not knowing where the next sword would come from, Su Ye only focused on taking the sword to defend, but in his heart he was thinking about how to stop Qiong Yi's movement. He is good at sudden advances and explosions. If he delays for a long time, it will be detrimental to him.
As it happens, so does Joan.
The Xiange sword bounced away from the wind, and the internal force of the sword was easily eliminated. Qiong Yi turned around with the sword, slashed through a sword aura and immediately dodged back. Su Ye avoided the sword aura and chased her towards her. She saw the opportunity and jumped up from the tree. , using the force of the dive to suppress the sword.
Su Ye leaned against the sword, thinking about taking the sword head-on, but Qiong Yi used the Xinge Sword's tenacity to bounce it away and somersaulted over his head.
Lu Xiyan really doesn't play by the rules!
Su Ye grinned widely, and the wind flipped in his hands. The sword energy continued to surge in like waves. The continuous sword light was similar to the style of Su's foil sword, but seemed to have something extra. Qiong Yi guessed that it was probably a self-created move. She wielded the string song to confront the sword light head-on. The sword accurately cut through Su Ye's sword energy. However, her fingers trembled and she could no longer hold the sword's momentum. She immediately stepped back a few feet to distance herself.
"How is it?" Su Ye asked with a smile, his brows were full of energy, and he was obviously in high spirits.
Qiong Yi pressed the tip of the sword: "It's very powerful."
"Don't be distracted." Sheng Xuanyuan reminded.
Hearing Sheng Xuanyuan's voice, Qiong Yi subconsciously looked back, but she heard the wind flash by. Su Ye didn't know when he came to her side, and a red light sword flower whirled past her. She was almost hit by the sword and lost. Under her wrong posture, "Su Ye! You are cheating!"
Su Ye helplessly spread his hands and said: "Sheng Xuanyuan spoke openly, what does it have to do with me?" After saying that, he flicked her sword away and laughed: "During the competition, you must not be distracted. Look back at him. I will Jianke is here!"
