Li Fenglan and Zhu Mingyu, who were watching the battle in the room, bent over with laughter, and Amber started to show off, regardless of the occasion. Fortunately, Amber stopped as soon as he saw that no one responded, so he jumped off the ring alone.
The subsequent games were lackluster, with both Jade and Shen Xiangzhi simply winning the game. This competition was not that important in the first place. It was just for a snow lotus, and the various sects did not take it seriously. There were more than 500 knights who signed up originally, but when they saw Agarwood's sign-up, half of them withdrew from the competition. After seeing the two girls from Changfeng Tower, many more dropped out.
Han Liang seemed to intend to keep the experts until the end. Until the end of the fourth day of the competition, the favorites did not meet. No one believed that there was no behind-the-scenes operation. But everyone just takes it for granted and no one cares about it.
By the end of the fifth day, only sixteen people were left to advance. The previous games were not very intense, so there were no injuries.
Li Fenglan actually didn't care much about the game. She had been waiting for Li Fengyao to come to see her. Unfortunately, the game had already reached the second half and Li Fengyao was still missing. In the meantime, Li Fenglan chatted with Han Liang and asked about Li Fengyao insinuatingly, but Han Liang kept silent, and Li Fenglan stopped asking. As for Agarwood, except for seeing her in the ring, no one can see her at other times.
Li Fenglan's health has improved a lot. Now she has the strength to go to the ground. She is just a little weak. If she rests for two days, it will not affect her journey.
Xu Qingchen and Zhang Yuan sat by the corridor of Yaoxian Tower with bitter expressions on their faces.
"Brother Zhang, the possibility of us getting this snow lotus is very small."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Although you and I have advanced, the road ahead will be a bit difficult. Not to mention Master Shen of the Thorn Sect and Yang Yanxiong, the two girls from the Changfeng Tower are tricky enough."
Xu Qingchen agreed: "It's difficult to watch Zhu Mingyu with Qingfeng."
Zhang Yuan asked: "Qingchen, what are your chances of winning against Zhu Mingyu?"
Xu Qingchen thought for a while and replied: "About 40%."
"Then...which two girls? Jade and Amber."
Xu Qingchen shook his head and said, "Less than 10%."
"Hahaha," Zhang Yuan suddenly laughed, "Don't worry about it, just practice your skills and see the world. This snow lotus can at most ease your sister-in-law's condition, and it won't have much effect."
"Brother Zhang, has your sister-in-law seen the miracle doctor from Yaoxian Valley these days?"
"Look, it's still the same as before, mainly conditioning."
Xu Qingchen also smiled: "Do your best."
"Brother Qingchen, don't blame yourself if you lose."
…
In the blink of an eye, one day passed, and the competition officially started on the sixth day.
Since all those left now are masters, the duration of the game is also much longer than before.
The first match was for Amber. Her opponent was a man named Ding Quan, who was in his thirties and had a sinister look. Zhu Mingyu said that this person's skills were not low, and he should have been able to become a master of land characters back then. Of course, even those who are masters of earth characters are not considered masters in front of Amber.
Amber originally wanted to fight quickly, but Li Fenglan warned Jade Amber two days ago, asking them to hold back when fighting, and not to win too quickly, as they have to make the enemy underestimate themselves. In the past two days, Amber's acting skills were not good, and her tricks were too obvious. These days, her skills are spotless. The two of them had to wait for more than a hundred moves to figure out the result, and Amber won.
The next few performances were exciting, but the audience was a little lethargic. There are not as many people in front of the ring now as before. In a few days, two to three hundred people have left Yaoxian Valley. .
One day passed, and the top eight players were born. Jade, amber, Zhu Mingyu, agarwood branch, Xu Qingchen, Zhang Yuan, Yang Yanxiong, Mu Zi. Li Fenglan laughed out loud when she looked at the list. If Mu Yun had worked harder, he might have been able to advance. At that time, there would be five of his own in the top eight.
Agarwood stood on a cliff, looking down at the entire Yaoxian Valley, and she had the urge to jump down.
"Master Shen." Just as he was lost in thought, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Agarwood tree turned around, and it turned out to be Xu Qingchen. She asked expressionlessly: "What do you want from me?"
Xu Qingchen replied: "That day in Luzhou, you asked me to go to the thorns
The door is looking for you. If I guessed correctly, Master Shen also wants to deal with Ye Yu Xiaozhu. "
"That's right."
Xu Qingchen asked: "Can I ask why?"
Agarwood replied: "You and I each have our own reasons, as long as we have the same purpose."
Xu Qingchen nodded helplessly and said, "Actually, I came here to ask for something."
"Speaking."
Xu Qingchen seemed to have made up his mind: "If Master Shen needs me, I can join the Thorn Sect now, but..."
"You want Snow Lotus."
"right……"
"To save the woman in the carriage."
"Yes, they are my saviors."
Chen Xiangzhi shook his head: "I didn't mean to embarrass you, but I also promised this Snow Lotus to someone else. Let's go and talk to her."
"who?"
"Li Fenglan."
"The woman who was rumored to be seriously injured? Changfeng Tower?"
"Yes."
Xu Qingchen was a little frustrated. The reason why he came to beg for agarwood branches was to exchange his little money for snow lotus. After all, she was the favorite to win the crown now. Only now do I know that the agarwood competition was for Li Fenglan from Changfeng Tower, and now it’s over.
Agarwood said: "You haven't asked me personally yet, why should you be upset?"
"It's rumored that the woman was seriously injured. I guess they won't let her go."
"I told you, you haven't asked yourself yet."
Xu Qingchen felt inexplicably that there seemed to be a reason for this.
Afterwards, Chen Xiangzhi told him the other courtyard where Li Fenglan was currently located.
Xu Qingchen didn't dare to neglect and went to the yard before it was too late.
Li Fenglan was chatting with Jade Amber in the room. Zhu Mingyu and Mu Yun were guarding outside the door. It was inconvenient for them to participate in the topic of the girl's family. The two of them were chatting, and while they were talking, someone came in at the door. Both of them knew this person, it was Xu Qingchen who "defeated" Mu Yun.
Zhu Mingyu stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Brother, please stay here. Why are you here late at night?"
Xu Qingchen returned the gift and replied: "I... want to find Miss Li Fenglan."
Zhu Mingyu felt a little alarmed and said, "Miss Li is seriously injured and it is inconvenient to see guests."
"Uh...it was Master Shen of Thorn Sect who asked me to come."
When Zhu Mingyu heard the words agarwood branch, she thought about it and winked at Mu Yun. Mu Yun entered the room and told Li Fenglan about Xu Qingchen.
Li Fenglan couldn't figure out why Chen Xiangzhi sent someone over, so she said to Mu Yun, "Then let him in."
Jade said: "What if there is a scam?"
"It's okay, you are all here."
Mu Yun invited Xu Qingchen into the house. Inside, Li Fenglan had already pretended to be weak - she couldn't let outsiders know that she was fine now.
Mu Yun introduced: "This is Miss Li Fenglan from Chaolan Valley."
Xu Qingchen bowed deeply and said, "I have met Miss Li, I am Xu Qingchen."
"Ahem," Li Fenglan asked, "I wonder why Master Shen sent Mr. Xu here?"
Xu Qingchen replied: "For Snow Lotus."
"Ahem... Xuelian?" This answer surprised Li Fenglan.
Xu Qingchen said: "I know it's embarrassing for the girl, but she might as well listen to my story."
Li Fenglan felt that idleness was idleness, so she said, "Please speak."
Xu Qingchen eloquently told Li Fenglan everything about the Yao family and Luzhou without any reservations.
After listening, Li Fenglan fell into deep thought. He said in his heart: Aren’t you afraid of being deceived by this agarwood branch?
But seeing Xu Qingchen's sincere face, which didn't look like he was lying, Li Fenglan understood what Chen Xiangzhi meant.
"Mr. Xu, are you sure you will join the Thorn Clan?"
"Yes."
At this time, Amber suddenly said: "Miss, you don't need that snow anyway."
Lotus, why not give it to someone else. "
Everyone else in the room was a little embarrassed. Amber spoke bluntly and didn't care about the situation at all. If this Xu Qingchen is an enemy rather than a friend, then Li Fenglan is pretending to be sick in vain.
Just when Li Fenglan was about to teach Amber a lesson, Amber added, "I watched his game, and he is very good. If you give him snow lotus, you can also... How do you say that? Yes! Win people's hearts!"
Li Fenglan wanted to die.
Xu Qingchen also heard the clues. This girl Li was not injured too seriously. It seemed that she was pretending to show it to others. He said: "Miss Li...do I know your plan?"
"Hey... I guess, Mr. Xu," Li Fenglan's eyes were a little serious, "If you are really someone that Master Shen values, Xuelian can indeed be given to you. But, how can we trust you?"
Xu Qingchen put his left hand on the table beside him, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and said: "I am alone, I have just come out of the world, and I have no reputation. Naturally, I can't come up with anything that will convince the girl. However, I have no father and no one." Mother, you can make your own decision on your body, hair, and skin. If the girl can’t trust me, I can cut off one of my arms. I want to keep my right arm, and I want to take revenge.”
After saying that, he raised his sword and struck. Li Fenglan quickly shouted: "Jade!"
The jade sword blocked Xu Qingchen's sword.
To be honest, other people in the room were a little dumbfounded: Is this person... a little pedantic?
Li Fenglan was shocked and stuttered a little: "No, no, you don't have to do this. I'm just asking. I believe Master Shen."
"So to say……"
"Hey," Li Fenglan sighed, "your temper is so similar to someone else's... It's really useless for me to keep the snow lotus. Speaking of which, our goals are similar. I promise to give you the snow lotus, but well, the competition will continue as normal, everyone Just try your best, because I have a reason not to lose here. If Mr. Xu wins the championship in the end, then nothing happened tonight, and you don’t owe us any favors. If we win the Snow Lotus, we will give it to you after we come out of the valley. superior."
Xu Qingchen's brows were filled with joy: "Thank you so much, girl!"
"Also," Li Fenglan said, "there is one more thing."
"Girl, please speak."
"You have to help us, not just deal with Ye Yu Xiaozhu."
"How can I help you?"
"You don't need to ask me. When you arrive at the Thorn Gate, Master Shen will tell you... Since we are friends and not enemies, I will also do Young Master Xu a favor."
Xu Qingchen thought for a while and said, "I don't need your help for anything, girl."
"Yes," Li Fenglan smiled, "for example, who paid for the murder and killed the entire Yao family."
Xu Qingchen was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Does the girl know?"
Li Fenglan shook his head: "I don't know yet, Mr. Xu, let me ask you, you said that the Yao family has no enemies, right?"
"right."
"Wrong, people will always be hated by others when they are alive. Even if they don't have enemies in the same group, it's hard to say anything else."
"how do I say this?"
"Think about it, you have been in contact with Boss Yao for so long, has he ever been angry?"
Xu Qingchen thought for a while and replied: "Yes."
"when?"
"Boss Yao was a little unhappy when he came back from the Western Region that time."
"why you are not feeling happy?"
"I said I hired swordsmen from the northwest when I went to the Western Regions, but they ripped me off."
"So, did Boss Yao give you the money?"
"No."
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "Look, doesn't this give us a clue?"
