Why is she staring at me?
Ji Changfeng casually tied the Amber Vermilion Ribbon around his waist, feeling rather puzzled.
Forget it.
No more thinking about it.
Ji Changfeng gently shook his head.
On the platform, Cangsong Daoist began lecturing about the great principles again. At this time, most people were listening seriously and attentively. Only Ji Changfeng slowly lowered his head...
In one ear and out the other.
Even if Cangsong Daoist noticed, he said nothing.
How could Nephew Changfeng possibly be spacing out?
He must be contemplating some cultivation-related matters!
Yes!
That was right!
Cangsong Daoist spoke for over an hour before yielding the stage to sect leader True Master Daoxuan.
True Master Daoxuan offered the disciples a few words of encouragement, then waved them away, saying they could go rest...
The process had always been like this.
First, Cangsong Daoist stepped forward to play the villain, then True Master Daoxuan came out to play the good guy.
As for this...
All the Peak Masters had long grown accustomed to it.
That was also why True Master Daoxuan favored Cangsong Daoist so much.
Night fell, and a gentle breeze drifted past.
The bright moon hanging high in the sky cast down soft, pure light. Its silvery radiance flowed like a gentle stream, draping Tongtian Peak in a dreamy veil.
Ji Changfeng held the two Divine Swords, Ink Snow and Dragon Slayer, in his arms, with the Amber Vermilion Ribbon tied around his waist, and slowly made his way to a small grove beside the Sea of Clouds.
He casually set the two Divine Swords aside.
Then he took the Amber Vermilion Ribbon from his waist, found two nearby trees, and used it to make a simple hammock.
"Hmm..."
"Not bad. Pretty comfortable!"
Ji Changfeng lay down on it to test it out, and it was unexpectedly nice.
Whoosh—
Just then, from the corner of his eye, he spotted a figure standing atop the Sea of Clouds some distance away.
She wore a white dress and held an azure Divine Sword in her arms. Her slender waist seemed too delicate to withstand even a single grasp, while her cool, lovely face looked especially soft beneath the moonlight...
Nai Qi?
Why had she come out so late at night?
Ji Changfeng froze slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, he gently waved at her.
Lu Xueqi held the Tianya Sword in her arms as she silently watched the busy figure in the grove, her thoughts stirring.
So...
He had taken Junior Sister Ling'er's Amber Vermilion Ribbon to build himself a hammock to sleep in?
Lu Xueqi found it somewhat amusing.
If Junior Sister Ling'er found out about this, would they end up arguing?
Whoosh—
Just then, the figure in the grove suddenly waved at her.
Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment.
In the end, she still walked over.
When she arrived beside the hammock made from the Amber Vermilion Ribbon, she heard Ji Changfeng speak.
"Why are you out here instead of sleeping so late at night?"
Lu Xueqi coolly looked at the young man before her. She lightly shook her head and, stingy with words as ever, said:
"I can't sleep."
Ji Changfeng nodded without saying anything.
He gently patted the spot beside him and invited her, "Want to come up and try it? It's pretty comfortable."
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi hesitated.
She actually wanted to sit on it and see how it felt, but considering that this was Junior Sister Ling'er's artifact...
She became hesitant again.
"It's fine. Come sit."
"She won't know."
Ji Changfeng saw through Lu Xueqi's hesitation and said with a smile.
Lu Xueqi paused for a moment.
In the end, she sat on the hammock made from the Amber Vermilion Ribbon.
"How is it? Pretty comfortable, right?"
Ji Changfeng chuckled.
Lu Xueqi nodded reservedly.
She hesitantly leaned back, and her body immediately felt weightless as the hammock began to sway gently.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
They simply lay in the hammock, silently gazing at the brilliant Starry Sky before them.
Not long after, Lu Xueqi slowly got up.
"Heading back?" Ji Changfeng asked.
"Mm." Lu Xueqi nodded slightly. Her bright eyes looked at Ji Changfeng as she said firmly:
"At the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, I'll go all out!"
Going all out = I will definitely win.
Ji Changfeng smiled. "All right."
Lu Xueqi remained where she was and did not leave at once. She seemed to be waiting for Ji Changfeng to say something?
"What is it?" Ji Changfeng looked somewhat confused.
Lu Xueqi paused.
She lightly pursed her lips and said, "You have to go all out too!"
Ji Changfeng laughed. "All right, I'll go all out too!"
Of course, that was assuming you could force me to go all out... he added inwardly.
Lu Xueqi left.
The Cold Girl atop the Sea of Clouds held Tianya in her arms as she slowly merged into the moonlight and gradually disappeared...
Ji Changfeng lay back in the hammock.
He silently watched the Starry Sky, eagerly anticipating tomorrow's Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament.
The next day.
The entirety of Tongtian Peak was immersed in an exceptionally lively atmosphere.
Under the watchful eyes of his master and mistress, as well as the encouragement of Dazhu Peak's senior brothers, Ji Changfeng slowly stepped onto the arena...
At the same time.
Lin Jingyu of Dragon Head Peak also stepped forward with an artifact in hand.
The moment he climbed onto the arena, he glared furiously at Ji Changfeng and said:
"Ji Changfeng! Last time, I only lost to you because I was careless!"
"Today, I will wash away that humiliation!"
Below the arena, the Dragon Head Peak disciples had gathered together, all shouting encouragement for Lin Jingyu. Leading them were none other than Qi Hao and his group.
The Dazhu Peak disciples on the other side curled their lips.
A loss was a loss.
Why claim he had been careless?
Tian Ling'er found Lin Jingyu rather unpleasant. She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at Ji Changfeng:
"Ji Changfeng! Teach that guy a hard lesson for me!"
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly at her words.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a Cold Girl holding the Tianya Sword not far below the arena.
Lu Xueqi had come too?
Ji Changfeng understood at once.
Without further hesitation, he turned his gaze toward Lin Jingyu before him.
"One move." Ji Changfeng slowly raised one finger.
"What?" Lin Jingyu did not understand.
Ji Changfeng said calmly, "I'll only make one move. If you can take it, then I'll count it as my loss."
The moment those words came out, Lin Jingyu on the arena and the Dragon Head Peak disciples watching below all flew into a rage.
"Arrogant!"
"He's utterly outrageous!"
"Junior Brother Lin, don't be afraid! Go at him without worry!"
A Dragon Head Peak disciple named Fang Chao shouted loudly.
Lu Xueqi, standing in the corner, glanced at him.
At this moment.
Ji Changfeng held the two Divine Swords in his arms with one hand, his gaze indifferent as he stared at Lin Jingyu before him.
He ignored the other's fury.
Instead, he leisurely raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together into a sword-finger gesture, then...
Lightly pointed at Lin Jingyu.
Boom—
The next moment.
An immense Sword Intent shot into the sky.
The pale-green Sword Intent seemed to transform into a dancing green snake, lunging without hesitation to tear into Lin Jingyu.
Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents!
Lin Jingyu's face instantly drained of color.
He hurriedly raised the artifact in his hand to defend himself, but...
The Sword Intent before him was too fast!
In almost the blink of an eye, it arrived before him, rushed into his body, and threw his spiritual power into disarray...
Thud—
Lin Jingyu fell painfully to his knees.
He unwillingly looked up, but all he saw was a blurry back, along with...
A clear, resounding voice ringing by his ears.
"You can't even withstand a single Sword Intent from Ji?"
"You are not worthy of being my enemy!"
"Remember! Losing to me is the only thing in this life worth remembering!"
