Chapter Thirty-Five: A Gathering of Heroes to Make a Romance (2)
He Lingfeng nodded: "I understand, senior sister."
"good!"
Du Zhiqing jumped from the observation platform here to the swordsmanship arena on the other side. He Lingfeng also followed her and talked together.
Du Zhiqing first picked up a long sword, then picked up another long sword, threw it towards He Lingfeng from a distance, and said loudly: "Are you ready? Take the move!"
He Lingfeng held the sword firmly and said, "Okay, senior sister, come on!"
"Watch the move!" Du Shiqing jumped up into the air with a long sword in his hand, spun in an arc in the air, and fell in the direction of He Lingfeng. The sword was stabbing at He Lingfeng's waist.
He Lingfeng ducked and dodged, and Du Zhiqing did another backflip and stabbed him in the leg.
Du Zhiqing originally thought that He Lingfeng would take advantage of the situation to attack her back, but He Lingfeng stood still and didn't move, as if he was waiting for her to stab him.
In fact, He Lingfeng had a chance to fight back, but he was used to being humble to her, so he didn't want to fight back. He still instinctively wanted her to defeat him, so he stood there without hiding.
Du Zhiqing did not expect that he would not be able to dodge. She thrust the sword with great internal strength. Seeing that He Lingfeng did not dodge, her heart trembled suddenly. She was afraid that she would hurt him because she used too much force.
He immediately withdrew his inner strength and turned the sword blade in another direction.
But because she used too much internal force, when she retracted it, she was bounced back, and even the long sword was thrown out of her hand.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but moaned, and her whole body fell heavily on the ring.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, are you okay?" Upon seeing this, He Lingfeng's expression changed in shock, and he quickly went over to help her and said nervously.
"Zhi Qing!" When Du Haiyan on the observation platform saw this, he couldn't help being frightened. He quickly jumped down from the observation platform and onto the ring to help her up.
"Hiss..." Du Zhiqing fell to the ground half-face first, and her arm twisted on the ground. When Du Haiyan touched it like this, it stung, and she groaned in pain.
Seeing her like this, He Lingfeng couldn't help but turn pale with shock. He looked at her and said tremblingly: "Senior sister, are you okay? Are you injured?"
She frowned and shook her head, pressed her shoulder with her other hand, shook her arm, and stretched her veins, which made her feel better.
She just fell and was not seriously injured. She only had a slight twist on her shoulder, which caused a slight pain. After stretching for a while, she was no longer seriously injured.
After she recovered, she turned around again, shook her head, and said to He Lingfeng and Du Haiyan: "I'm fine, I just twisted a little. Don't worry."
Du Haiyan was still a little worried and asked further: "Zhiqing, you can't be brave. Are you really okay?"
"Oh, if I say it's okay, it's okay!" To prove that she was indeed fine, she did two more somersaults and landed on the ground, and then said, "Do you think I'm okay?"
"That's good." Du Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but be a little confused about what happened to him. He asked Du Zhiqing in surprise: "Zhiqing, what's wrong with you? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be in this kind of competition.
It’s hurt.”
"With your skills, it's impossible that you can't even master this mere swordsmanship. How could you be rebounded by your own internal force during a sword fight?"
Du Zhiqing glanced at He Lingfeng, frowned slightly, with a little displeasure in his eyes, and muttered: "It's not all because of him."
He Lingfeng was stunned after hearing this, not knowing what he said: "I..."
Du Zhiqing took another step forward, looked at He Lingfeng, frowned and asked him: "Let me ask you, why didn't you hide when I hit you just now?"
After He Lingfeng heard this, he was startled for a moment, but he couldn't admit that he deliberately let her avoid hiding. He could only say: "I...I didn't react."
"Sigh." Du Zhiqing shook his head helplessly and said with a bit of annoyance: "You said you couldn't react, but who would believe it? Are you trying to deliberately let me defeat you again?"
"Didn't I tell you not to give in to me? What's the point of winning the game by relying on opportunism like this?"
"Do you know that I almost stabbed you just now, and you didn't even try to hide? Do you know what kind of injuries you would suffer if I really stabbed you?"
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly. If I hadn't recovered my inner strength in time, I really don't know what the consequences would have been."
"Ah?" Hearing this, He Lingfeng was shocked. His heart trembled suddenly. He didn't expect that he originally wanted her to win, but in the end, he was the one who caused her to fall on the ring.
He couldn't help feeling extremely regretful and apologized to Du Zhiqing again and again: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I didn't expect such a consequence. Ling Fengqian shouldn't have caused you to be injured."
"Senior Sister, if you are angry, just scold Ling Feng. This is all Ling Feng's fault. Ling Feng should not have disobeyed Senior Sister."
"Alas." Seeing He Lingfeng's obedience to her in every possible way, she couldn't help but feel angry.
She shook her head, and half of her good mood had dissipated, and she only said: "Do you still regard me as a child and think you should give me everything? My brother is right, you have to always be like this
Leave me alone, how can I grow?"
"I originally wanted to compete with you in martial arts to see who is stronger and who is weaker between us. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. It doesn't matter if I lose. If we compete, we will show off our real skills. You do it."
Why do you have to give in to me? Do you think I am incapable?"
"We have only been playing for a while, and something happened. If everyone in the Heroes Competition is like this, why are we still competing like this? Alas..."
Seeing Du Zhiqing's angry look, He Lingfeng regretted even more, but at this moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only apologize repeatedly: "I'm sorry, senior sister, Ling Feng was wrong, Ling Feng will never do this again.
"
Du Zhiqing just turned his head, resting his forehead with one hand in waning mood, and said nothing.
Seeing that the two of them were unhappy, Du Haiyan advised her: "Zhiqing, don't blame Ling Feng. He has always been good to you, and this accident was not what he expected."
"And you're fine, aren't you? Okay, okay, it's all a misunderstanding, it's no big deal, just keep competing again."
Du Zhiqing turned his head and shook his head at Du Haiyan. The interest in his eyes almost disappeared. He lowered his head and said dullly: "Oh, I don't blame him, and I'm not angry with him either.
It’s not a big deal to me.”
"I just think this kind of competition is meaningless. I competed with him full of fighting spirit, but he refused to compete with me. It was over before I even got into the fun. It was really not interesting at all."
"The good mood I had just now is gone now, alas..."
She sighed again, with a wistful look in her eyes.
This was her first time competing in the Heroes Competition. She was originally full of interest, but because He Lingfeng didn't really compete with her, all her interest was ruined in an instant, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
When she was little, she naturally liked that He Lingfeng let her go. At that time, she would be extremely happy every time she won. When she grew up, she no longer had the childish thoughts at the beginning, and naturally she would not be happy because she did not win based on her true strength.
If He Lingfeng still gives in to her like that now, it will only make her feel that her strength is not as good as hers, which will make her even more discouraged.
"Sister Zhiqing!" Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard calling.
Du Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat. Even when he raised his head, his dejected face became more colorful. He quickly looked around and said earnestly: "It's Brother Chen's voice. Brother Chen is here. Brother Chen."
,Brother Chen, where are you?"
I could only hear Mo Jianchen's voice coming from below: "Sister Zhiqing, lower your head and look down, I'm here!"
Du Zhiqing lowered his head following the voice, and saw Mo Jianchen on the ground under the ring, smiling and waving to her.
"Brother Chen!" Seeing Mo Jianchen's high-spirited look, her mood became more relaxed. In an instant, she beamed with joy, and the unhappiness she felt just now was completely gone.
"You're finally here!" Du Zhiqing said, then somersaulted from the ring and jumped down.
"Hey, be careful!" Although he knew that Du Zhiqing had martial arts skills and jumping from such a high place would not be a problem, Mo Jianchen's heart still couldn't help but tighten when he saw her jumping from such a high place.
Like a conditioned reflex, he rushed forward and caught Du Zhiqing who was flying down.
After Du Zhiqing jumped down, she fell into Mo Jianchen's arms. He just happened to wrap his arms around her slim waist.
He would catch her, which was beyond her expectation. When she saw him hugging her tightly, she felt happy, a happy smile appeared on her face and eyes, and she wrapped her hands around his neck, cheering.
Laughed.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing her pure smile and hearing her hearty laughter, Mo Jianchen was completely infected by the joyful atmosphere in her body. He held her and spun her around twice before placing her on the ground.
.
"Hahaha, Brother Chen." Du Zhiqing smoothed away the slightly messy hair on his temples and laughed loudly at him: "Why do you have to catch me? It's not like you don't know that with my martial arts
, you can jump from it without falling down."
"Of course I know!" Mo Jianchen narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "But I just want to catch you!"
"Hmph, you're so annoying." Du Zhiqing pouted and snorted softly, pretending to be disgusted. There was a bit of coquettishness in his voice, and there was still a strong sense of joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
.
Mo Jianchen knew that she was acting coquettishly on purpose, and he didn't really blame himself, but seeing her like this, she became even more adorable. He couldn't help but reveal a touch of warmth in his eyes, and patted her shoulder gently.
