Volume 1 In the World Chapter 39: Yuqing's Promise
The uncharacteristic expressions of the two masters and disciples in front of him made Xingyu confused. Not far away, the little Taoist who was the messenger of Taoist Master Tiantongzi of the Tongling Peak walked up to the two of them.
Xingyu smiled slightly and stepped forward to greet him.
The little Taoist priest cupped his fists and bowed slightly: "Hello, two senior brothers, tomorrow is the day for the election of the top disciple of Guiyan Peak. Taoist Master Tiantongzi sent me to inform the disciples of Qifeng to go to Tongling Peak to draw lots to select their first-round opponents.
.”
Xingyu nodded and said, "Thank you, little junior brother, come in and have a cup of hot tea!"
The little Taoist priest clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Senior brother, you don't have to be polite. I have to inform other senior brothers and sisters, so I won't bother you any more."
"That's it, little junior brother, walk slowly, junior brother Xiao He and I will leave immediately!" Xingyu said kindly.
After Xingyu finished speaking, the little Taoist priest stopped talking and turned around to leave.
Seeing the figure of the young Taoist priest gradually disappearing, Xiao He sighed: "As expected of a disciple of Tongling Peak, even such a young Taoist priest has such practice."
Xingyu said: "Junior brother Xiao He, there is no need to sigh. The young Taoist priest has been practicing at Tongling Peak since he was a child. His flying skills were passed down from Taoist Master Tiantongzi, which is naturally extraordinary."
Xiao He replied: "It seems that Senior Brother Tongran's practice must be profound and unpredictable."
Xingyu nodded and said: "That's true. However, the competition is about to begin. You and I should just concentrate on preparing for the competition. There is no need to be too stressed."
Xiao He replied: "That's exactly what senior brother said. Let's go to the Spiritual Peak to draw lots and choose our opponent first!"
Xingyu smiled and said: "I hope you and I won't meet each other in the first round!"
When Xiao He heard this, he also laughed and said: "I hope so too, but the sect only has seven peaks, so the probability of encountering it is very high!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He kicked off his feet hard and flew up.
The Dragon Valley Sword was instantly launched, and by the time Xingyu reacted, Xiao He had already flown more than ten feet away.
Xingyu shook his head, smiled helplessly, and flew after Xiao He.
After drinking tea, Xingyu and Xiao He arrived at the square of Tongling Peak. When they arrived, the other Six Peaks disciples had already arrived.
Xiao He looked around, and his eyes paused for a moment on Yu Kui and Yu Qing. Today, both of them were dressed in white, looking as if they were in heaven. However, although they stood side by side, they were speechless. Even Yu, who always liked to laugh, was speechless.
Qing, was also very quiet at the moment, standing in a pavilion, which actually made Xiao He feel a little strange. Xiao He could feel that the cultivation of the two people had improved a lot.
Slightly different from Yu Kui, when Xiao He came to the square, Yu Qing couldn't help but glance at Xiao He, her lips and teeth were slightly parted, as if she was about to say something, and the index finger of her right hand was restlessly touching her skirt.
He lightly scratched his face, but this scene was not seen by Xiao He.
Since that incident, Xiao He has been telling himself not to think about Yukui and Yuqing sisters. He clearly knows his feelings for them, so he doesn't want to delay any of them. Although he was once coerced by Yuqing
, he had no choice but to do something, but this incident also made Xiao He more certain that he had no affection for Yuqing at all. This was not the case before. Now that the whole family was wiped out, he had no energy to take care of it.
Personal affair.
All the disciples present were waiting for the drawing of lots, and no one noticed the subtle psychological activities of these people.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tongran, the senior disciple of Tongling Peak, said seriously: "I am ordered by my master to organize the drawing of lots for all the junior brothers and sisters. It is actually very simple. We will draw lots together. Those with the same color will win.
As a first-round opponent.”
After hearing Tongran explain the rules, Yukui stepped forward, took out one of the signatures in the bamboo tube at will, and said: "Purple." After saying that, he turned around and left. Yuqing saw this and followed closely.
He also randomly pulled out a bamboo stick and handed it to Tongran and said: "Green, thank you, senior brother." After saying that, he quickly followed Yu Kui's footsteps and left the square.
After that, all the participating disciples selected from Qifeng came forward to draw lots and handed them to their senior brothers one by one.
At this time, Xingyu realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere today. It seemed that in the face of the competition for the top spot, the disciples of all peaks had restrained their tempers. Not only did Yuqing and his junior brother Xiao He become less talkative, but they were also arrogant and domineering as usual.
Yunyue just silently took out the bamboo stick and handed it to Tongran and left without saying a word from beginning to end.
There were not many disciples participating, only ten people in total, and the drawing of lots was quickly over. The disciples from each peak also left separately, just waiting for tomorrow's competition.
It was night, Xingyu and Xiao He were chatting at the top of Alchemy Peak about drawing lots during the day. Coincidentally, Xingyu happened to draw his favorite blue, but Xiao He drew green, which meant the first round of the competition.
, the opponent Xiao He has to face is Yuqing.
Seeing Xiao He holding the bamboo stick in his hand thoughtfully, Xingyu walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Junior brother, are you thinking about how to cherish the beauty tomorrow?"
Xiao He shook his head and said, "Senior brother, it's a joke."
Xingyu said: "This is no joke. Facing the two sisters Yuqing and Yukui, it would be difficult for me. I wonder who my junior brother will choose?"
Xiao He smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "Senior brother, please stop making fun of me. The two senior sisters and I are just friends from the same school, nothing more."
Hearing what Xiao He said, Xingyu seemed unwilling to give up and said to himself: "Hey, what a friendship. I have been coming to Guiyan Peak for decades, but I have never encountered such a friendship.
"
Although Xingyu was talking to himself, he was in a weird mood. Xiao He knew that Xingyu was making fun of him again. He smiled helplessly and had to change the topic and asked: "Who is your opponent tomorrow, senior brother?"
Xingyu replied: "It's Hou Zhu, a disciple of Tian Guzi."
"What is this person's cultivation level?" Xiao He asked seriously.
Xingyu also suddenly started to think seriously and said: "This person is the favorite disciple of Taoist Master Tianguzi, and his cultivation level should be high. However, he is also the most playful among the disciples of Guiyan Peak. What is his true strength?"
, no one knows, but tomorrow I will have the opportunity to experience his true level."
"If it is true as my senior brother said, this person's cultivation level should be quite high, so he must be careful!"
"Junior brother, don't worry, I have made full preparations for this competition." Xingyu said.
Xiao He said: "I also want to have a fun competition with you, senior brother, in the ring!"
Xingyu smiled again and said: "Actually, when Master laughed last time, I already guessed that you will definitely gain something from this retreat, which makes me very curious, senior brother!"
"Senior brother is serious. I will have a hearty fight with him when the time comes, and I will never hide it." Xiao He said.
After Xiao He finished speaking, Xingyu became serious and said: "Junior brother, your ultimate goal this time should be to be at the top of the list. Only by winning the top spot can you have the opportunity to participate in the Blessed Land Exchange Conference and be recruited by the Liuguang Blessed Land. Otherwise, you will take revenge.
If there is one thing, there is no way to talk about it.”
"Senior brother is exactly what he said. I will remember it!" Xiao He also replied seriously.
"Not only that," Xingyu continued: "I have a hunch that the top spot among the disciples this time will definitely be between you and senior brother Tongran. You and I have a long life ahead of each other, so you must remember that until the end
In the finals, don’t show your true level!”
Xiao He was very touched by Xingyu's words. Ever since he came to Guiyan Peak, Xingyu had taken good care of him. When he was in danger, Xingyu also went to Shaolin in person and invited eminent monks to come out for him.
In his heart, Xingyu has long been regarded as his relative, especially after he experienced the pain of losing his family. The sadness in his heart was beyond words for a moment, so Xiao He could only say loudly: "Thank you, senior brother! Junior brother, keep this in mind!"
The relationship between men may be like this. They cherish each other's character and cultivation, and are moved by each other's sincerity. When this kind of emotion comes to their lips, they can often only express it with the simplest words.
The two wanted to talk again, but Yuqing suddenly came to the Alchemy Peak and saw Xingyu there. Yuqing seemed a little nervous for a moment. Of course, Xingyu understood what Yuqing meant and said in a natural manner: "I
I am about to go to Master to clarify my doubts, Junior Brother Xiao He, please chat with Junior Sister Yuqing for a few words!"
When Xiao He saw this, he looked at Xingyu with a look of help. Xingyu walked to Xiao He and whispered: "Go to bed early!"
After Xingyu left, Xiao He had no choice but to chat with Yuqing.
"Tomorrow is the competition, aren't you ready to prepare?" Xiao He asked.
Yu Qing pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "Everything that should be prepared has been prepared."
Xiao He always felt that Yuqing's personality had changed a lot, and he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Seeing that Xiao He was silent, Yu Qing lowered her head slightly and continued: "My realm has improved a lot during this practice."
"That's a good thing." Xiao He said perfunctorily.
"This..." Yuqing hesitated, her face blushed a little, and continued: "Thank you also."
Of course Xiao He could hear what Yu Qing was referring to, and was a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to deal with it.
"I hope you don't blame me." At this point, Yuqing's cheeks turned redder.
"I... don't blame senior sister." Xiao He said.
Yuqing also heard Xiao He's embarrassment, especially the voice of senior sister, which was even more vivid. After hesitating for a long time, Yuqing still asked: "Can I ask you to promise me something?"
"Sister, please tell me." Xiao He still replied politely.
Yuqing slowly said: "Tomorrow's first group competition, we are opponents, if I beat you, can you become a Taoist partner with me?"
Yu Qing's words shocked Xiao He. He didn't expect Yu Qing to say it so directly, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"If you don't say anything, will I take it as your consent?" Yuqing asked tentatively.
Xiao He opened his mouth, but still couldn't speak. Yuqing continued: "Then it's settled, if I defeat you tomorrow, you will become a Taoist couple with me!" After saying that, Yuqing became even more shy, and then
He was embarrassed to look at Xiao He, turned around and ran away.
Looking at Yuqing, Xiao He felt mixed feelings in his heart. Just like Ouyang Xin who died in his arms, Xiao He knew that he was destined to let her down.
On the second day, at the Tongling Peak Martial Arts Training Square, even though it was only the first round of competition, the seven Guiyan Peak disciples were already there, sitting upright on the high platform, watching the competition.
In the first group of competitions, Xingyu and Hou Zhu took part.
