The uncharacteristic expressions of the two masters and disciples in front of him made Xingyu confused. Not far away, the little Taoist who was the messenger of Taoist Master Tiantongzi from the Spirit Peak walked up to the two of them.

Xingyu smiled slightly and stepped forward to greet him.

The little Taoist priest cupped his fists and bowed slightly: "Hello, two senior brothers, tomorrow is the day for the election of the top disciple of Guiyan Peak. Taoist Master Tiantongzi sent me to inform the disciples of Qifeng to go to Tongling Peak to draw lots to select their first-round opponents. .”

Xingyu nodded and said: "Thank you, little junior brother, come in and have a cup of hot tea!"

The little Taoist clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Senior brother, you don't have to be polite. I have to inform other senior brothers and sisters, so I won't bother you any more."

"That's it, little junior brother, walk slowly, junior brother Xiao He and I will leave immediately!" Xingyu said kindly.

After Xingyu finished speaking, the little Taoist priest stopped talking and turned around to leave.

Seeing the little Taoist priest's figure gradually disappearing, Xiao He sighed: "As expected of a disciple of Tongling Peak, even such a young Taoist priest has such practice."

Xingyu said: "Junior brother Xiao He, there is no need to sigh. The young Taoist priest has been practicing at Tongling Peak since he was a child. His flying skills were passed down from Taoist Master Tiantongzi, which is naturally extraordinary."

Xiao He replied: "It seems that Senior Brother Tongran's practice must be profound and unpredictable."

Xingyu nodded and said: "That's true, but the competition is coming soon. You and I should just concentrate on preparing for the competition. There is no need to be too stressed."

Xiao He replied: "That's exactly what senior brother said. Let's go to the Spiritual Peak to draw lots to choose our opponent first!"

Xingyu smiled and said, "I hope you and I won't meet each other in the first round!"

When Xiao He heard this, he also laughed and said: "I hope so too, but the sect only has seven peaks, so the probability of encountering it is very high!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He kicked his feet hard and flew up. The Dragon Valley Sword was launched instantly, and by the time Xingyu reacted, Xiao He had already flown more than ten feet away.

Xingyu shook his head, smiled helplessly, and flew after Xiao He.

After a cup of tea, Xingyu and Xiao He arrived at the square of Tongling Peak. When they arrived, the other Six Peaks disciples had already arrived.

Xiao He looked around and his eyes paused for a moment on Yu Kui and Yu Qing. Today, both of them were dressed in white, looking as if they were celestial beings. However, although they stood side by side, they were silent. Even Yu Qing, who had always liked to laugh, was very quiet at the moment and stood tall, which actually made Xiao He feel a little strange. Xiao He could feel that the cultivation of both of them had improved greatly.

Slightly different from Yu Kui, when Xiao He came to the square, Yu Qing couldn't help but glance at Xiao He, her lips and teeth were slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something, and the index finger of her right hand was restlessly touching her skirt. He made a slight stroke, but this scene was not seen by Xiao He.

Since that incident, Xiao He has been telling himself not to think about sisters Yukui and Yuqing. He clearly knows his feelings for them, so he doesn't want to delay any of them. Although he had been coerced by Yu Qing and had no choice but to do so, this incident also made Xiao He more certain that he had no affection for Yu Qing at all. It wouldn't have happened before, but now that the whole family had been wiped out, there was no energy left to take care of personal affairs.

All the disciples present were waiting for the drawing of lots, and no one noticed the subtle psychological activities of these people.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tongran, the disciple of Tongling Peak, said seriously: "I am ordered by my master to organize the drawing of lots for all the junior brothers and sisters. It is actually very simple. We will draw the lots together. Those with the same color will win. For a first-round opponent.”

After hearing Tongran finish explaining the rules, Yukui stepped forward, randomly took out one of the signatures in the bamboo tube, and said: "Purple." After that, she turned around and left. Upon seeing this, Yu Qing followed closely behind, casually took out a bamboo stick and handed it to Tong Ran, saying: "Green, thank you, senior brother." After saying that, he quickly followed Yu Kui's footsteps and left the square.

After that, the participating disciples from Qifeng all came forward to draw lots and handed them to their senior brothers one by one.

At this time, Xingyu realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere today. It seemed that in the face of the competition for the top spot, the disciples of all peaks had restrained their tempers. Not only did Yuqing and his junior brother Xiao He become less talkative, but they were also arrogant and domineering as usual. Yunyue just silently took out the bamboo stick and handed it to Tongran and left without saying a word from beginning to end.

There were not many disciples participating, only ten people in total, and the drawing of lots was over quickly. The disciples from each peak also left separately, just waiting for tomorrow's contest.

It was night, Xingyu and Xiao He were chatting at the top of Alchemy Peak about drawing lots during the day. Coincidentally, Xingyu happened to draw his favorite blue color, while Xiao He drew green, which meant the first round of the competition. , the opponent Xiao He has to face is Yuqing.

Seeing Xiao He thoughtfully holding the bamboo stick in his hand, Xingyu walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Junior brother, are you thinking about how to cherish the beauty tomorrow?"

Xiao He shook his head and said, "Senior brother, it's a joke."

Xingyu said: "This is no joke. Facing the two sisters Yuqing and Yukui, it would be difficult for me. I wonder who the junior brother will choose?"

Xiao He smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "Senior brother, please stop making fun of me. The two senior sisters and I are just friends from the same school, nothing more."

Hearing what Xiao He said, Xingyu seemed unwilling to give up, and said to himself: "Hey, what a fraternal friendship. I have been coming to Guiyan Peak for decades, but I have never encountered such sibling friendship. "

Although Xingyu was talking to himself, he was in a weird mood. Xiao He knew that Xingyu was making fun of him again. He smiled helplessly and had to change the subject and asked: "Who is your opponent tomorrow, senior brother?"

Xingyu replied: "It's Hou Zhu, a disciple of Tian Guzi."

"What is this person's cultivation level?" Xiao He asked seriously.

Xingyu suddenly began to think seriously and said: "This person is the favorite disciple of Taoist Master Tianguzi, and his cultivation level should be high. However, he is also the most playful among the disciples of Guiyan Peak. What is his true strength?" , no one knows, but tomorrow I will have the opportunity to experience his true level."

"If it is true as senior brother said, this person's cultivation level should be quite high, so he must be careful!"

"Junior brother, don't worry, I have made full preparations for this competition." Xingyu said.

Xiao He said: "I also want to have a fun competition with you, senior brother, in the ring!"

Xingyu smiled again and said: "Actually, when Master laughed last time, I already guessed that you will definitely gain something from this retreat, which makes me very curious, senior brother!"

"Senior Brother is serious. I will have a hearty fight with Senior Brother when the time comes, and I will never hide it." Xiao He said.

After Xiao He finished speaking, Xingyu became serious and said: "Junior brother, your ultimate goal this time should be to be at the top of the list. Only by winning the top spot can you have the opportunity to participate in the Blessed Land Exchange Conference and be recruited by the Liuguang Blessed Land. Otherwise, you will take revenge. Once something happens, there is no way to talk about it.”

"Senior brother is exactly what he said. I will remember it!" Xiao He also replied seriously.

"Not only that," Xingyu continued: "I have a hunch that the top spot among the disciples this time will definitely be between you and senior brother Tongran. You and I have a long life ahead of each other, so you must remember that until the end In the finals, don’t show your true level!”

Xiao He was very touched by Xingyu's words. Ever since he came to Guiyan Peak, Xingyu had taken good care of him. When he was in danger, Xingyu also went to Shaolin in person and invited eminent monks to come out for him. In his heart, Xingyu has long been regarded as his relative, especially after he experienced the pain of losing his family. The sadness in his heart was beyond words for a moment, so Xiao He could only say loudly: "Thank you, senior brother! Junior brother, please keep this in mind!"

Xingyu quickly replied: "Junior brother, you're welcome!"

The relationship between men may be like this. They cherish each other because of each other's character and cultivation, and are moved by each other's sincerity. When this kind of emotion comes to the lips, it can often only be expressed with the simplest words.

The two wanted to talk again, but Yuqing suddenly came to the Alchemy Peak and saw Xingyu there. Yuqing seemed a little nervous for a moment. Of course, Xingyu understood what Yuqing meant and said in a pretentious and natural manner: "I I’m about to go find Master to answer my questions, Junior Brother Xiao He, please chat with Junior Sister Yuqing for a few words!”

When Xiao He saw this, he looked at Xing Yu with an expression on his face asking for help. Xing Yu walked to Xiao He and whispered: "Go to bed early!"

After Xingyu left, Xiao He had no choice but to chat with Yuqing.

"Tomorrow is the competition, aren't you going to prepare?" Xiao He asked.

Yu Qing pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "Everything that should be prepared has been prepared."

Xiao He always felt that Yuqing's personality had changed a lot, and he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Seeing that Xiao He was silent, Yu Qing lowered her head slightly and continued: "My realm has improved a lot during this practice."

"That's a good thing." Xiao He said perfunctorily.

"This..." Yu Qing hesitated, her face flushed a little more, and continued: "Thank you also."

Of course Xiao He could hear what Yu Qing was referring to, and was a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to deal with it.

"I hope you don't blame me." At this point, Yuqing's cheeks turned redder.

"I... don't blame senior sister." Xiao He said.

Yuqing also heard Xiao He's embarrassment, especially the voice of senior sister, which was even more vivid. After hesitating for a long time, Yuqing still asked: "Can I ask you to promise me something?"

"Sister, please tell me." Xiao He still replied politely.

Yuqing slowly said: "Tomorrow's first group competition, we are opponents. If I beat you, can you become a Taoist partner with me?"

Yu Qing's words shocked Xiao He. He didn't expect Yu Qing to say it so directly, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"If you don't say anything, will I take it as your consent?" Yuqing asked tentatively.

Xiao He opened his mouth, but was still speechless. Yuqing continued: "Then it's settled, if I defeat you tomorrow, you will become a Taoist couple with me!" After saying that, Yuqing became even more shy, and then He was too embarrassed to look at Xiao He, turned around and ran away.

Looking at Yuqing, Xiao He felt mixed emotions in his heart. Just like Ouyang Xin who died in his arms, Xiao He knew that he was destined to let her down.

On the second day, at the Tongling Peak Martial Arts Training Square, although it was only the first round of the competition, the seven Guiyan Peak disciples were already there, sitting upright on the high platform, watching the competition.

In the first group of competitions, Xingyu and Hou Zhu took part.
