Chapter 72: Quarterfinal Match

In a remote corner with jagged rocks on the west side of Pinghai Peak, Mu Yi and Wang Ruofeng were meeting quietly.

"Tiedan, you secretly asked me to come here, is there something wrong?" Mu Yi asked. With the other party's style, he would not easily risk an appointment with him. After all, there are many disciples on Pinghai Peak. If someone sees him,

Finding out is never a good thing.

"Of course it's for the quarterfinal matchup." Wang Ruofeng went straight to the point, "You already know about the matchup, right?"

Mu Yi nodded. On the night when the new strength ranking list was circulated, the top eight matches were announced on the Jade Card.

Gu Muning faced off against the seventh-ranked Fire Department disciple; Wang Ruofeng was unlucky to face off against the strongest Wind Controlling God; and Mu Yi met his fellow disciple Min Junzi!

Wang Ruofeng gave a bitter smile and said: "I met the Laughing God Lord. We are all disciples of the Wind Department. His talent is not inferior to mine, and he has practiced for several years more than me. He will probably not be able to pass this level."

"Tiedan, don't be depressed, let go of your burdens and try your best!" Mu Yi comforted, "Even if you lose, the results of the top eight are enough to make an apology to your master."

Wang Ruofeng said "hmm" and smiled slightly: "However, I came to you not to talk about me, but to compete with you! Your opponent is Junzi Min, who is also your senior brother. In terms of strength, you are still here

Above him, you are very hopeful in this battle! But..."

Mu Yi interrupted the other party's words with a smile, and said, "But are you afraid that because of our friendship with each other, you won't dare to let go and fight, so you will shrink back and lose in the end?"

Wang Ruofeng shook his head and said: "On the contrary! I know that you will not cheat in an honest competition, so I came to talk to you specifically."

"What do you mean by this?" Mu Yi was suddenly confused.

Wang Ruofeng said with confidence: "If I am not wrong in my estimation, the quarter-finals will begin tomorrow, and your senior sister Xiao Mengtao will come to you tonight at the latest."

"Senior sister came to see me?" Mu Yi was stunned again, vaguely guessing what the other party meant.

"Yes," Wang Ruofeng continued: "She will come to you, and she has only one purpose, to persuade you to deliberately lose to Junzi Min in the competition!"

"Senior Sister Xiao, why did she do this?" Mu Yi didn't believe it.

"It's not that she wants to do this, but Junzi Min will do everything possible to persuade her to find you!" Wang Ruofeng looked confident, as if he had considered everything, and he continued: "As far as your senior sister is concerned, you and Junzi Min

It doesn't matter who wins and who loses, no matter what the result is, it will not change her attitude towards the two of you; but for Min Junzi, who is not very ambitious, whether he can enter the semi-finals or even the final is extremely important.

This may be related to whether he can contact Gu Muning!"

"Gu Mu Ning? What does this have to do with her?" Mu Yi frowned.

Wang Ruofeng said: "Do you remember the rumors about this woman? It is said that this woman has a profound background. She suddenly appeared in the Golden Autumn Examination in order to find a suitable partner. Speaking of the younger generation of male disciples, except Yufeng Shenjun

, your senior brother Min Junzi is the most outstanding, and in terms of appearance and demeanor, Min Junzi is unparalleled, far better than us. As long as this competition, Min Junzi will reach the semi-finals, the finals, and enter Gu Muning's

In my eyes, it is very likely that I will be chosen!”

"No!" Mu Yi shook his head: "Elder brother will not do this. Master has already said that after the Golden Autumn Conference, he will retire and leave the Good Medicine Hall to the elder brother to take care of. He will also arrange for him and

Why would Senior Brother want to thwart Gu Muning's idea of ​​Senior Sister Xiao's marriage?"

"Can a Good Medicine Hall satisfy your senior brother's appetite? I don't think so!" Wang Ruofeng shook his head repeatedly, "I think he approached you, Senior Sister Xiao, just to plot the Good Medicine Hall, but compared to Xiao Mengtao and Gu Muning

, whether it is strength, background or appearance, there is a big difference. If Min Junzi is ambitious, he will never miss the opportunity!"

"In the new strength ranking list, you and Gu Muning are tied for second place, ahead of Min Junzi. Coupled with the strength of water and fire you showed before, Min Junzi has no confidence in defeating you, so he will try to arrange for Xiao Mengtao to find him.

You, he also knows very well that your Senior Sister Xiao is your weakness!"

Mu Yi's face turned slightly red when Wang Ruofeng told him something important. He did not hide his objection. After all, his act of taking Baidu Heavenly Fire Liquid for Xiao Mengtao had already explained everything.

"I don't think Senior Sister Xiao will come!" Mu Yi's tone was much softer. Wang Ruofeng's analysis was reasonable and precise, and it was indeed not a random speculation.

"I hope I judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. However, if unfortunately I am wrong and your Senior Sister Xiao wants to intercede with you, what will you do?" Wang Ruofeng stared at Mu Yi without blinking and asked.

.

"I don't know!" Mu Yi lowered his head and said softly, feeling very confused.

After a while, he raised his head and asked Wang Ruofeng: "Tiedan, if it were you, what would you do?"

"This is the purpose of my coming today." Wang Ruofeng said seriously: "Do you still remember what I said? If a tree is as beautiful as a forest, the wind will destroy it! If you are confident enough, you can go all the way and defeat the Wind God.

If you win the first prize, then you can give it a go. You are very strong and naturally have the support of the sect behind you. No one dares to embarrass you easily!"

"However, if you are not sure of winning, you might as well hide your strength and act in a low-key manner. Anyway, with your appearance, it is unlikely that you will be noticed by Gu Muning. Haha, Mu Mu, don't take it to heart. Although you and I are tall,

He is not ugly, but he is still young, and he is not as handsome and graceful as Min Junzi. Without absolute superior strength, it is really difficult for him to be selected by Gu Mu Ning."

"If you, Senior Sister Xiao, really come to you, you can agree and lose the competition. In this way, not only will the focus of everyone's attention shift, but your Senior Brother will also take it lightly and think that you are still the one trapped by love.

, an ignorant boy who can be easily manipulated and dealt with! In this way, he will not pay too much attention to you, and your future life will be much easier."

"This approach is called retreating in order to advance. When I first entered Xuanfeng Hall, I suffered a lot because of my youth and arrogance. Later, it was by relying on retreating in order to advance that I made my fellow disciples take it lightly, but I

I secretly accumulate my strength, and then suddenly show it out at the critical moment, winning Master's respect in one fell swoop. By that time, as long as I am careful and on guard, it will be difficult for those senior brothers to defeat me."

Mu Yi was silent after hearing the words, and Wang Ruofeng said: "Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. You should carefully weigh what to do. When it comes to being low-key and forbearing, Mu Yi is not bad at all! Tsk, Tsk, water and fire dual cultivators are pretending

He relied on luck to win, and even I didn’t see any flaws in it!”

"not like this……"

Mu Yi wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Wang Ruofeng with a wave of his hand. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I can understand. My only friend in Pinghai Sect is so powerful. I am happy before it is too late. How can I blame you!"

"

Seeing that Mu Yi was still thinking, Wang Ruofeng said: "We have been chatting for a while, it's getting late, I should go! Mu Yi, think carefully, don't act out of anger, let alone hold too much in store for your senior brother.

fantasy!"

Mu Yi nodded and watched Wang Ruofeng leave.

"Facing Senior Brother, this matter is more complicated than I thought." Mu Yi sighed and said, "I hope Senior Sister Xiao will not show up today!"

However, contrary to expectations, when he returned to his residence, Xiao Mengtao was already waiting for him.

Mu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. In the previous rounds of competitions, whether he was injured or defeated, Senior Sister Xiao never came to see him once. This time, it was obviously not to visit him.

"Junior brother Mu, where have you been? Senior sister has something to do with you." Xiao Mengtao smiled sweetly after seeing Mu Yi.

"Senior sister, let's go to the house to talk." Mu Yi invited the senior sister into the house, and the latter did not object as expected.

"Senior sister is looking for me, is it because of the competition between me and senior brother tomorrow?" Mu Yi didn't want to beat around the bush with senior sister Xiao, but asked straight to the point.

Xiao Mengtao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and nodded gently. Two blushes appeared on her face, obviously she was a little embarrassed.

After a while, Xiao Mengtao bit her lip, raised her head, her face turned pale, and she said, "Yes, I'm here to beg Junior Brother Mu!"

"Begging me?" Mu Yi shook his head and said, "Sister, if you have anything to say, just give me your orders. You know, I can't refuse your request!"

"Yes, senior sister knows that junior brother Mu treats me very well. But," Xiao Mengtao said in a low voice, "senior sister already has someone in her heart!"

"Senior Brother takes this competition very seriously. He said that if you can't make it to the top four, you will have to practice hard in seclusion and wait until the next Golden Autumn Competition to try again."

Mu Yi felt sad in his heart, but suddenly felt funny. The next Golden Autumn Examination will be twenty years later. Xiao Mengtao naturally does not dare to let his youth pass by like this. The excuse used by the senior brother is not clever, but it can make Xiao Mengtao have to

Come and beg him.

"So, senior sister, I beg you, can you retain your strength in tomorrow's competition so that senior brother can successfully enter the semi-finals?" After saying this, Xiao Mengtao looked at Mu Yi almost with pleading eyes. She knew very well that Jin Qiu

Taking the exam is the top priority in many disciples’ lives!

Mu Yi did not give an answer immediately, but remained silent.

Xiao Mengtao felt increasingly uneasy. Whether it was because of anxiety or helplessness, tears were already rolling in his eyes.

After half a stick of incense, Mu Yi finally nodded and said, "Since senior sister has spoken, Mu Yi will naturally agree."

"That's great, thank you, Junior Brother Mu!" Xiao Mengtao was overjoyed. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Mu Yi with grateful eyes.

"Senior Sister Xiao," Mu Yi couldn't help but remind: "If junior brother says something unpleasant in private, senior brother's intention may not be that simple. You have to be careful."

"Why?" Xiao Mengtao certainly didn't believe it.

Mu Yi said firmly: "A man will never let the woman he loves beg other men in a low voice, not even once!"
