Reason
In the evening, Chen Mobai woke up from a deep sleep.
He lay on the bed in his Cave Mansion, enjoying the rest he hadn't had in a long time, and lifted himself up.
In today's two rounds of Spell Duel, Chen Mobai and Yan Feng were able to take the stage earlier because Kong Feichen directly forfeited in the first round.
However, both of them were fast swordsmen, and the match was decided in less than fifteen minutes after they stepped onto the stage, with only four swords striking each other.
After the Spell Duel ended, although Chen Mobai was weaker and Yan Feng was still able to stand, the latter had already left the arena, and the final victory belonged to the former.
While he was being celebrated wildly by his fellow students, Ning Anning smiled and came over to help him regulate his Qi and Blood and blood and meridians. She also asked him if he was interested in studying at the Imperial Medical Academy.
Chen Mobai didn't know how to answer, so he simply let his body give way to exhaustion and fainted.
After waking up, this is now.
I don't know who brought him here.
Chen Mobai turned his head and picked up his phone from the bedside, finding dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread text messages.
He glanced at the screen, first called his parents back, and then sent a group text message to all the relatives who had seen him on TV.
I said I needed to work hard for the upcoming finals, so I wouldn't return their calls.
Finally, Chen Mobai finished reading Qing Nü's greeting text message, and then his fingers naturally dialed the number.
"Hello."
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
A familiar, clear voice came from behind him, and Chen Mobai replied gently.
Are you available?
Qing Nü suddenly asked a question, Chen Mobai was a little puzzled, but still nodded.
"I'm in my own Cave Mansion. Are you still at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy?"
"Okay, which dorm building are you in? I'll come find you."
Chen Mobai put down his phone and sent his location to Qing Nü.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door, and Qing Nü, wearing a mask and hat and disguised, smiled and waved to him.
"Congratulations on making it to the finals."
"Thanks."
Chen Mobai thought for a moment, then asked another question.
"Would you like to come in and sit down? Or shall we go for a walk?"
"Let me come in and sit down. You're still feeling weak."
Chen Mobai didn't quite agree with that statement, but after feeling an unprecedented emptiness in his dantian, he could only helplessly open the door and let Qing Nü Nu in.
"Here you go, you haven't eaten yet, have you? This is the dinner I brought for you."
After Qing Nü entered, she placed the two boxes of small buns she was carrying on the table inside the Cave Mansion.
Chen Mobai was indeed a bit hungry, so he opened the package and started eating without any hesitation.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"I was with Xiao Chen and Xiao Jing before, trying to persuade Xiao Jing to withdraw from the finals."
"Puff!"
Chen Mobai, who was enjoying his meal, immediately spat out his food upon hearing this.
"What's going on? I was expecting to win the championship under the spotlight!"
Although they had used up their biggest trump card, the Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were both students at a public high school affiliated with the Immortal Sect. Unlike Yan Feng, who came from a wealthy family with a distant lineage, they could not possibly possess a heaven-defying treasure like the "Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman."
In a normal duel, Chen Mobai felt he had a 51% chance of winning against Kong Feichen.
Against Yang Jing, without considering the unknown Forbidden Technique, he should have a 65% chance of winning.
"Your battle with Yan Feng was too brutal. Even if you can recover your spiritual power in three days, the depletion of your qi, Qi and Blood and essence cannot be made up for."
Qing Nü is an Alchemy, and medicine and medicine are inseparable, so she is very clear about Chen Mobai's physical condition.
Even so, there is no problem that I can beat Yang Jing.
Chen Mobai said calmly, putting down his chopsticks and looking at Qing Nü with a puzzled expression.
What exactly is her relationship with Kong Feichen and Yang Jing? The latter two seem to call her "sister"? Even if she is her sister, why would they give up their chance to enter one of the Four Great Dao Academies? Furthermore, the relationship between Kong Feichen and Yang Jing is not normal either. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly give up their chance to rise to the top just because of a single willful remark from the latter?
There are so many questions in my mind.
Chen Mobai did not ask.
He believed in Qing Nü.
So they were waiting for Qing Nü to speak first.
"We grew up in the same Orphanage. I'm older than both of them, so they call me older sister."
"When they were young, they were adopted by two cultivator families in Vermilion Cloud City who were unable to conceive. But we have always kept in touch. Although the three of us are not blood siblings, we are closer than blood relatives."
"So, Yang Jing wanted to go to the finals, Kong Feichen was willing to let him go, because this was the first time in so many years that Yang Jing had his own opinion."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What kind of Orphanage, that it could actually take in someone with a Heaven Spirit Root like you, and those two with Mutated Spiritual Root!"
Qing Nü did not hide anything from this; it was an official Orphanage established by the Immortal Sect in Vermilion Cloud City, located in the east of the city.
Chen Mobai looked on the map and found it.
"It might be a coincidence, but all three of us have good Spiritual Root talents."
Chen Mobai could only tentatively accept Qing Nü's explanation.
"Later, after the family that adopted Yang Jing learned about her Dark Spiritual Root, they somehow found a Forbidden Technique for her to cultivate. When she was fourteen, the Enforcement Department discovered this, and her adoptive parents were arrested and imprisoned."
"Since Yang Jing was also a victim, and at that time she had already mastered that Forbidden Technique and could no longer be discarded, the Immortal Sect registered her and then let her return to society to go to school and grow up normally."
"But Forbidden Technique are Forbidden Technique after all. In order to prevent her from going astray in the future, the Enforcement Department of the Immortal Sect put an Electronic Bracelet on her wrist. In addition to observing her mental state, they are also monitoring her location at all times."
Hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned, sensing that things were probably not that simple.
"Then why did you advise her to forfeit in the final?"
After listening, Qing Nü raised her long, slender, white fingers and explained her reasons one by one.
"First, your strength is too great. If Xiao Jing wants to defeat you, she will have to use Forbidden Technique. But her Two Parts Divine Technique bring her one step closer to death every time she uses them, and I don't want her to use them."
"Secondly, after she started practicing Forbidden Technique, the best place for her is the Imperial Medical Academy. Xiao Chen and I both hope she will study medicine and find a way to stop her from practicing Forbidden Technique. The reason I chose Goumang Dao Academy is because I want to find a way to cure her from elixirs. With Xiao Jing's current grades, she can go to the Imperial Medical Academy without any problem if she wants to. There is no need for her to fight you so fiercely."
"Third, and finally."
At this point, Qing Nü raised her head and looked directly into Chen Mobai's eyes.
"I hope you can go to the Dao Academy!"
