"The next match."
"Little Bamboo Peak's Lu Xueqi versus Dragon Head Peak's Fang Chao!"
After the elder from Heaven-Reaching Peak on the stage announced the match list.
The next moment.
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
"Senior Sister Lu is going on stage?"
"It's finally Senior Sister Lu's turn!"
The disciples from the various seven peaks cheered enthusiastically.
Lu Xueqi was already a celebrity throughout the Qingyun Sect.
Her popularity was off the charts.
After the Heavenly Curtain incident, her fame had even spread throughout the Divine Continent.
"Qier."
Shuiyue on the high platform looked back at the cool and aloof girl beside her. She smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Xueqi bowed slightly.
Then, She walked down from the high platform.
At the same time, her clear and cold eyes scanned the crowd, quickly finding the person she couldn't stop thinking about.
"Huh?!"
Lu Xueqi was slightly taken aback.
She saw... Ye Changfeng playfully teasing Tian Ling'er, even pinching her cheeks with his hands.
Seeing this scene.
Lu Xueqi's heart inexplicably ached.
(T_T)
Although she knew Ye Changfeng only saw Tian Ling'er as a sister, she was afraid that Tian Ling'er didn't see Ye Changfeng as just an ordinary junior brother.
Lu Xueqi pursed her lips slightly.
Her personality was rather cool and aloof, so when faced with such a situation, no matter how upset she felt inside, she couldn't possibly voice it...
She would only sulk silently by herself.
The cool and aloof girl withdrew her gaze.
Carrying the Tianya Divine Sword, she approached the vicinity of the stage.
At this moment, the stage was already packed with disciples from the seven peaks.
She frowned slightly.
Finally, she tapped her toes.
Transforming into a graceful silhouette in the air, she floated onto the stage.
Seeing this.
The surrounding disciples immediately let out a roar.
A disciple from Dragon Head Peak, dressed in green robes, walked onto the stage. He looked excitedly at the cool and aloof girl before him and said:
"Fang Chao of Dragon Head Peak, greetings, Junior Sister Lu!"
"It is truly a blessing from three lifetimes to be able to compete on the same stage as you..."
As soon as he said this.
The disciples from the seven peaks below the stage immediately showed their dissatisfaction.
Who the hell are you?
A blessing from three lifetimes? Bah!
In the crowd.
Zeng Shushu looked at Fang Chao, a burly man in green robes, and felt his eyes burning. He couldn't help but blurt out:
"Hey!"
"Are you going to fight or not?"
"If not, get off the stage quickly!"
Now.
Most disciples of the Qingyun Sect wore green robes, but not everyone looked good in them. Fang Chao, a crude fellow...
Wearing a green robe was simply unfitting.
An eyesore.
On the stage.
Lu Xueqi's pretty face turned slightly cold.
She looked indifferently at Fang Chao before her, offering no response. Her gaze fell upon his green robe, and she felt a wave of disgust...
Green robe?
You think you're worthy?
Fang Chao didn't notice the disgust in Lu Xueqi's eyes, nor did he pay attention to the curses from the surrounding disciples. In his opinion...
These people were just envious!
"Junior Sister Lu."
"Be careful."
Fang Chao summoned a cold, white immortal sword.
He seemed to address Lu Xueqi with a touch of pity, warning her.
But...
Little did he know this would only make Lu Xueqi detest him more.
Why?
Because Lu Xueqi was naturally stubborn and proud!
You're pretending to be concerned and telling her to be careful? That's looking down on her!
She would rather someone attack her with full force from the start!
At least then she could respect them a little.
"Swish!"
Fang Chao elegantly summoned his immortal sword.
He then gracefully attacked Lu Xueqi.
To others, this posture looked like an idiot's.
Lu Xueqi's pretty face contorted with anger.
She calmly watched Fang Chao attack, not saying a word from beginning to end. She simply tightened her grip on the Tianya Divine Sword...
"Swish!"
In an instant, Tianya was unsheathed.
A streak of azure sword light shot up into the sky.
In a flash--
Brilliant sword energy engulfed the entire stage. The boundless sword qi forced the disciples of the Seven Meridians to instinctively take a step back. At the same time, they dared not face the edge of the divine weapon from the Nine Heavens directly and quickly closed their eyes.
"Clang!"
Everyone heard a crisp sword chime.
The next moment.
The sword light on the stage dissipated.
Everyone quickly looked up.
They saw Fang Chao, who had been so graceful moments before, lying on the ground like a dead dog. The cold, white immortal sword in his hand had shattered into several pieces.
"Hiss--"
Seeing this, everyone was astonished.
"You..."
Fang Chao looked up at Lu Xueqi with difficulty.
He hadn't expected her to be so ruthless.
At this moment.
Lu Xueqi looked at Fang Chao indifferently.
Her clear, cold gaze swept over Fang Chao, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
As if to say--
Green robe, you think you're worthy?
"Pfft!"
Fang Chao seemed to understand Lu Xueqi's gaze.
He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
And fainted.
Lu Xueqi turned and left expressionlessly.
However, Just then.
Her footsteps paused slightly.
She saw that among the crowd outside the arena.
A young man in white seemed to have been watching for a long time.
"Swish!"
Their gazes met.
Ye Changfeng's eyes, which held more affection than one would show a dog, were unreserved.
Seeing this scene.
Lu Xueqi's heart pounded.
Like a startled deer, she quickly averted her gaze, pretending to casually walk off the stage, but in reality, her heart was already filled with shyness.
At the same time.
The Heaven-Reaching Peak elder on the stage also snapped back to reality.
He calmly announced the outcome of the martial arts competition: "Lu Xueqi of Little Bamboo Peak -- wins!"
"Bang!"
On the high platform.
Cangsong Daoist angrily slammed his seat and stood up.
He looked at Fang Chao, who was crawling on the stage like a dead dog, and irritably looked at Shuiyue, saying:
"Junior Sister Shuiyue, your disciple was a bit too heavy-handed, wasn't she?"
"Relying on the might of a divine weapon!"
"And forcibly damaging his opponent's magic artifact!"
Hearing this.
Shuiyue said nonchalantly, "Senior Brother Cangsong, that's not quite right. While divine weapons are indeed powerful, Qi'er's cultivation is not weak either. Otherwise..."
"The assassination attempt over a month ago."
"It's unlikely she would have survived."
That night's assassination.
Although Lu Xueqi was saved by 'him', if she hadn't been strong enough herself and held on for so long, she wouldn't have lasted until the rescue arrived...
Cangsong Daoist's mouth twitched slightly.
"Alright, alright."
True Lord Daoxuan waved his hand helplessly.
Lu Xueqi's status was unusual now.
She was not only the future Sect Leader's Wife but also a future pillar of the righteous path. After all, her cultivation at the Peak of Supreme Purity had already been exposed by the Heavenly Curtain...
Such a disciple naturally had to be cherished like a treasure.
Who would have the heart to scold her?
"Hmph!"
Cangsong Daoist snorted coldly.
Shuiyue completely ignored him; she hadn't even settled the score with this guy yet...
"Sigh."
True Lord Daoxuan sighed helplessly.
He glanced at the several junior brothers and sisters around him, appearing helpless, but his eyes were deep.
Could it be...
That it was truly Cangsong?
