The second day.
In the middle of winter, it was still as dark as night. The cold wind passed through the mountains and forests, and the branches swayed and curled up. However, the figures practicing swords in the forest came here early as usual, without rest all day long.
Qiong Yi ran to the foot of the mountain, patted his frozen face, and called him: "Sheng Jing."
Sheng Xuanyuan drew his sword back and drew it back. The tail he had specially brought with him shouted cheerfully towards Qiong Yi: "Woof! Woof!"
Qiong also saw clearly the puppy rushing towards her feet in the gray darkness, and smiled: "Tail! Ouch! Don't pull at my clothes!"
Why did Sheng Kyung bring the tail? While squeaking her tail, she approached Sheng Xuanyuan, seeming to realize the usefulness of the puppy: "You and my senior brother left in such a hurry yesterday. Did you go to have a drink? What did you talk about?"
"...I didn't say anything." Sheng Xuanyuan held Cheng Ying in his hands and replied, "Just getting to know each other."
Qiong also guessed that he would prevaricate, and became even more curious. His tail circled around her feet, making a humming sound of begging for a touch and a hug. She ignored the tail and continued to ask: "What happened then?" How long? My senior brother is also a talkative person, did he... say something to you? "
Last night, senior brother talked to Lu Lanshan about the engagement on the other side of the wall. If he said that he had not talked about anything with Sheng Xuanyuan, Qiong Yi would not believe it even to death.
Sheng Xuanyuan couldn't tell her that most of the conversation yesterday was about her inner problems, it was too presumptuous, and she couldn't admit her feelings as frankly as she did when chatting with Lu Yuhao, so she remained silent.
The tail clawed and clawed at Qiong Yi, whining, how pitiful she was.
Qiong Yi stared at Sheng Xuanyuan, but he couldn't rely on the provocative tail at his feet. He had to squat down and pet it, coaxing the puppy and saying: "Okay, I don't like tails, tails are my favorite." Puppy." Taili narrowed his eyes and smiled as if he understood the words, enjoying himself very much, and kept digging into Qiong Yi's arms, making a thin "woof" sound.
snort! I knew Sheng Kyung brought the tail to divert my attention!
It was obviously a low-level move, but she just couldn't resist it.
After all, who can resist touching a cute puppy with big eyes? Qiong Yi thought: Anyway, I can't.
Seeing that her question was intercepted by Taiwei, Sheng Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Okay Taili, I'll give you extra food tonight."
Qiong Yi touched her tail and muttered: "Sheng Kyung hasn't answered my question yet."
You can't be fooled. Sheng Xuanyuan lowered his eyes and said, "Master Lu, you gave me some pointers."
"What did you point out?"
"It's a martial arts competition, so naturally it's something to be tested." He said: "The skills to deal with people...that's all."
Qiong also knew that he was lying. When this person lied, he would not dare to look into her eyes and would just lower his head and talk to himself. She wanted to find out something from him, and Lu Lanshan's words added a shadow to her already uneasy heart.
Under questioning, Sheng Xuanyuan half-bent in front of her, followed the hair on the back of his tail, and replied: "Qiong Yi, your senior brother praised your talent and also mentioned some other things."
"You have already told me about your life experience. You want to look for clues, and I know that." His ink-like black pupils seemed to be filled with mist in the dim winter morning. He originally wanted to He told her that he didn't care about her life experience or the rumors, but what he said was: "From now on, whenever you think about it, I will always be there."
These words were too sudden. The unprepared Qiong Yi stood up and took half a step back: "Shengjing, why, why did you suddenly talk about this? I will go back..." She seemed to have guessed it. Lu Yuhao said something to him, and looked at Sheng Xuanyuan with a steely expression. His face had been blown by the north wind for a long time, and he felt a little hot: "It's getting late, no, no more, I'm going to practice my sword." ! There will be a martial arts competition later!"
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Big idiot! You can say this with a calm face!
If you can say such things, why don't you just tell me what you feel?
What if I'm a deadhead? Don't think of it as pure friendship!
"Really..." Qiong Yi ran up the hill and stopped. The heat she breathed turned into white mist and dispersed. She stared blankly ahead. The dim eastern sky was shining with the morning light that was not enough to illuminate the sky. :"later……"
...what to do?
After I left the army, I took A Luo to travel around the world, looking for clues about my life experience. With my cultivation, even if I can only be a small demon slayer, it will be enough for A Luo and I to live a good life.
If it weren't for Sung Kyung, I would probably go on living as I should.
Qiong was also a little confused. The sudden appearance of Sheng Xuanyuan messed up her original clear plan, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
"Otherwise... I'd better not get so close to Sheng Jin anymore." She murmured to herself: "He is the young master of the Sheng family. He also said that he has a burden on his shoulders. He and I are not on the same page at all. Man... If the marriage contract between the Lu and Sheng clan hits him, I would be scolding him if I get close to him..."
"Otherwise, so be it."
Qiong also closed her eyes with some relief, but turned around and became mad: "No! I...can't bear it!" She leaned under the bare ginkgo tree, "It's not easy to meet such a good-looking person. Although I have been idle for a while, my character is very good, how can I just throw it away?"
"Qiong Yi! You have passed your birthday and are one year older! Keep working hard!" She clenched her hands into fists in front of her body and puffed up: "I want both traveling in the world and being a fool!"
*
The martial arts competition arena is becoming more and more lively day by day.
The opponent Qiong Yi randomly picked that day was, by coincidence, an outer disciple of her own family. Amid the calls of "senior sister", she finally let go and gave the junior fellow disciple a face and did not let him lose. Too ugly.
Since that day, Sheng Xuanyuan returned with a great victory in the competition with Yue Huan, and he has become a famous man in the arena. Many disciples realized that he was extraordinary and wanted to get acquainted with him. Next to you, someone will definitely take the initiative to talk, hoping to make friends and become familiar with you.
Sheng Xuan was so annoyed that he came before the competition and left immediately after the competition. He would not stay longer than he could.
Su Ye laughed at him because he was afraid of people and ran away when he saw them. There was no harm in making a few more friends.
Sheng Xuanyuan's answer is: People with hot tendencies are not worth making friends with.
Qiong Yi, who performed neatly and brilliantly in the competition, naturally received a lot of attention. Some people even came to ask her how to practice her footwork and why she could move so fast.
She straightened her braids and said: It should be talent.
After today's game, Qiong also took the winning wooden sign to register the score, and also saw the opponent in the afternoon game - it was actually Yue Huan, who had only lost one game so far!
"Lu Xiyan, what the hell are you lucky to have to fight Yue Huan!" Su Ye looked at the schedule in his hand and sighed: "He fought very hard and only lost the first game. Although you didn't lose, I think this time it's a bit suspenseful." After a pause, he looked at Sheng Xuanyuan: "Here, people who have fought with him, tell me about his level of strength?"
"The top level." Sheng Xuanyuan replied: "It's very difficult to deal with."
Su Ye asked again: "Do you think I can win?"
Sheng Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment: "It's difficult to restrain you with his 'Sword Domain' move."
Qiong Yi sighed: "That can defeat me, I have to be more careful." She thought about it and smiled again: "But it's not bad luck to be able to line up with such an opponent. There are not many opportunities, so I have to fight hard and cherish them!"
Yan Ting smiled deeply: "It's good that Miss Lu can think so." He lowered his voice: "I have observed that Yue Huan's epee dance seems to have a habit, that is, his sword moves often connect with each other, slashing and slashing. The precursor to the chop is that there will be an extra small step in his step, the sword will fall on the object, and it will be slashed horizontally."
"Although it only takes the blink of an eye, if this time is grasped well, it is enough for Miss Lu to win the competition." After he said this, a smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze.
Su Ye was shocked: "Brother Yan, you observe so carefully?"
"Don't praise me too much. For a master like Brother Yue, he should study the sword skills more."
Qiong Yi's face was full of admiration: "Brother Yan has great eyesight. I have learned what I have learned. I will pay attention to it."
Sheng Xuanyuan said nothing, but nodded in agreement.
Soon they arrived at the afternoon game. When Qiong Yi came to the side of the field carrying the carefully tempered Xinge Sword, he immediately saw Lu Yuhao standing in the crowd in white.
"Elder brother, why are you here?" she asked.
"I came to see you compete." Next to Lu Yuhao was Lu Lanshan, who turned away, and several disciples from his clan, who were looking at her expectantly. He added, "I heard from everyone that this competition It’s very interesting, so there are a lot of people coming. Look at the station next door, there are a lot less people than here.”
"There are so many people, I'm... nervous." Qiong Yi rubbed the palms of his hands, and saw people squeezing in behind Lu Yuhao. Lu Li said to her: "Senior sister, why are you so nervous! You are the most nervous among our senior brothers. I’ll beat one up.”
Yang Xiaosi echoed: "That's right, senior sister, don't be a coward, just go up and beat him and that'll be it!"
Qiong Yi cheered: "Okay! I'm on it!"
It happened that at this moment, the referee with a serious face on the ring sounded the gong in his hand, and the harsh sound of "Clang--" was heard. Qiong also heard the sound and flew up to the ring, only to see a tall eight-year-old man coming from the other end. The man was tall and strong, but as soon as he stood in front of her, her aura suddenly dropped.
Qiong Yi widened her eyes, trying to regain her momentum, but Yue Huan was really tall and strong, and she could tell by looking at him that he was powerful. No matter how hard she stared, she couldn't regain his momentum.
Yue Huan looked at his opponent's round eyes. He didn't think she was being mean, but it made him want to laugh. However, as the courtesy of the young master of Beishan, he did not laugh, but frowned. Screw it, hold it back forcibly.
Yang Xiaosi covered her eyes: "Oh my god, this Yue Huan is so scary!"
Lu Li quite agreed, and the two of them retreated behind Lu Yuhao.
"Lu Xiyan, please give me some advice."
"I, Yue Huan, would like to give you some advice."
With the referee's heavy gong sound, the Xinge Sword was removed from the scabbard inlaid with azure stone. On the silver blade, a white stream of light appeared on the entire ring accompanied by Qiong Yi's clear drink.
