The Top Four competition attracted everyone's attention.
"Swish!"
As Ye Changfeng and Lu Xueqi ascended the stage.
The many Seven Peaks Disciples around all turned their gazes.
"Huh?"
"Is this person a Great Bamboo Peak disciple?"
"Could the Bamboo Sword in his hand be his Magic Treasure?"
"Hiss--"
"He actually made it into the Top Four relying solely on a Bamboo Sword!?"
"The disciples of Great Bamboo Peak are truly strange. Some use sticks, some use dice, and now another one appears who uses a Bamboo Sword..."
At this moment.
Many people turned their gazes to Ye Changfeng.
Even the Seven Peaks' Masters on the high platform couldn't help but look over.
True Lord Daoxuan's eyes flickered slightly.
If it weren't for Tian Buyi having just explicitly stated that Ye Changfeng wasn't hiding his cultivation, he would have been somewhat suspicious of the young man...
"I didn't expect Senior Brother Tian's disciple to have produced such a Genius without us realizing it?"
Zeng Shuchang sighed.
Hearing this.
Tian Buyi was overjoyed.
He laughed heartily, "Not at all, not at all. My Old Seventh has only reached Yuqing Sixth Layer after five years of apprenticeship. He's still far from being called a Genius..."
Yuqing Sixth Layer in five years.
This cultivation speed was actually already considered Genius.
The reason Tian Buyi was so humble.
Was actually to tell the other Masters that Ye Changfeng was not the Green Robe Sect Leader exposed in the Heavenly Curtain...
Regarding this matter.
Tian Buyi was quite certain.
Although he had initially suspected Ye Changfeng of hiding his cultivation.
But he thought, how could that be possible!
To be able to hide his cultivation in front of him?
That would at least be a Shangqing Mid-stage expert!
Ye Changfeng had only been a disciple for a mere five years.
No matter how monstrous he was, he couldn't have reached this level, right?
Hearing this.
The various Heads nodded slightly.
They said no more, turning their gaze to the arena.
"Swish!"
On the arena.
Ye Changfeng and Lu Xueqi ascended the stage simultaneously.
He looked at the Cold and Aloof Girl before him with a smile, his eyes, which could make a dog fall in love, stared intently at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in their depths.
"Ye Changfeng of Great Bamboo Peak."
"Greetings Senior Sister Lu."
The white-clothed youth cupped his hands slightly.
Hearing this.
Lu Xueqi pursed her lips lightly.
She raised her eyes to meet Ye Changfeng's gaze, noticing the tenderness in his eyes.
For a time, She couldn't help but be entranced for a moment.
There was no way...
Ye Changfeng's eyes were truly unbeatable. No matter who he looked at, it seemed like a tender, affectionate gaze. Plus, he was handsome. It was practically cheating!
How could Lu Xueqi withstand that?
Every time she noticed Ye Changfeng's affectionate gaze.
Her heart couldn't help but pound.
At the same time, scenes from the past would involuntarily flash through her mind.
Her future Husband descending from the sky, the heroic rescue on the Moon Gazing Platform, their formal meeting under the moonlight, his near-confession of love—
All these memories.
Kept echoing in her mind.
It was already very reserved of her not to rush forward and throw herself into his arms.
Alright...
She actually had that thought.
Below the arena.
Because Lu Xueqi had her back to the crowd.
The disciples watching didn't notice Lu Xueqi's change in expression. They pointed at Ye Changfeng and said:
"Another one trying to talk to Senior Sister Lu!"
"What do you think..."
"Will Senior Sister Lu talk to him?"
"Definitely not!"
"In all these matches Senior Sister Lu has fought, besides a few words with Junior Sister Tian Ling'er from Great Bamboo Peak, she's barely paid attention to anyone else. Even if this Ye Changfeng is a bit handsome, but..."
"Senior Sister Lu isn't a superficial person!"
A certain disciple said, patting his chest with conviction.
However.
Something unexpected happened to him.
On the arena stage.
The cold and aloof girl gradually came back to her senses.
Listening to the discussions of the many Seven Peaks Disciples around her, she couldn't help but look up at Ye Changfeng before her, then she blinked at him gently. Her clear, crisp voice shattered all doubts:
"Lu Xueqi of Little Bamboo Peak."
"Please guide me."
The girl's blinking action, paired with her cold and aloof demeanor, was simply breathtaking...
In response.
Ye Changfeng understood her meaning.
If he guessed correctly.
She was probably saying--
"I don't talk to others, I only speak to you."
"Because..."
"You are my one and only."
Oh my god!
Ye Changfeng's heart skipped a beat, despite himself.
Who said the human-machine girl, Lu Xueqi, couldn't fall in love?
Who said she didn't understand anything?
She understood perfectly well!
For a time, Ye Changfeng was even stunned.
His 'lovestruck' demeanor was noticed by the many Qingyun disciples around, immediately igniting the crowd's anger:
"Are you fighting or not?"
"If you're not fighting, get down quickly!"
Ye Changfeng snapped back to reality. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I'm looking at my future wife, what business is it of yours..."
A hint of a smile flickered in Lu Xueqi's eyes.
"Swish!"
The two of them seemed to be telepathically connected, raising their long swords almost simultaneously.
It was fortunate that the people around them didn't know their relationship.
Otherwise...
They would probably have truly complained, "What Seven Peaks martial arts competition is this? It's clearly just the Couple's Little Affection!"
"Boom—"
The competition officially began.
Because she was clear about Ye Changfeng's strength.
Lu Xueqi didn't hold back at all, unleashing various deadly killing moves on Ye Changfeng without hesitation.
"Swish!"
For a time, the arena was filled with murderous intent.
The many Qingyun disciples around were all astonished by this scene.
"Hahahaha!"
"He must have angered Senior Sister Lu just now!"
"Exactly!"
"Someone like Senior Sister Lu, who is like an immortal fairy, how could he covet her?"
"Pah!"
The many disciples around clapped and cheered.
At this moment.
Facing Lu Xueqi's various killing moves.
Ye Changfeng wasn't flustered in the slightest. Instead, he calmly neutralized them one by one, and secretly pointed out several of Lu Xueqi's flaws.
Tsk.
What was supposed to be a grand Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.
Was turned into a playful little game by the two of them.
Of course.
Ye Changfeng didn't get too carried away.
After all, he was only displaying his Yuqing Sixth Layer cultivation.
If he had defeated Lu Xueqi.
Wouldn't that be exposing himself completely?
Therefore.
Ye Changfeng found an opportunity to feign defeat, and was eventually forced out of the arena by Lu Xueqi's sword.
"In this match."
"Lu Xueqi of Little Bamboo Peak -- wins!"
On the high platform.
True Lord Daoxuan had been paying close attention to the match between Ye Changfeng and Lu Xueqi.
He wanted to uncover any hidden tricks.
But unfortunately...
Ye Changfeng did not expose his true strength.
Even though True Lord Daoxuan was a true Taiqing expert.
He couldn't find anything amiss.
"Could it not be him?"
True Lord Daoxuan couldn't help but frown slightly.
He always felt that Ye Changfeng was somewhat unusual, but he just couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Sigh.
Never mind, never mind.
True Lord Daoxuan sighed in his heart.
