I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

Gu Xi began to practice the sword skills that her master had just taught her. She summoned the Mingjue Sword at will and wielded it imitating Yuanchu's movements.

Her swinging movements went from slow to fast, becoming more and more fluent. The sword carried spiritual energy and streaked through the air like a flash of lightning, making a hissing sound.

Every time the tip of the sword trembled, it brought with it a sharp sword energy that seemed to be able to cut through the air.

Her body also danced with the sword, the sword dance was like poetry and her movements were light and graceful.

Every shake of the sword tip and every step taken was just right.

Just like a fearless general commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.

Yuan Chu was fascinated by what he saw. Well, it was pretty good to be able to practice to this level after just one time. It was just not perfect yet. There were still one or two shortcomings.

"Stop." Yuanchu interrupted her.

"Something is wrong here," Yuanchu walked forward, grabbed Gu Xi's hand with one hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and held her waist with the other hand, concentrating on demonstrating it himself.

"The blade of the sword is pointing downwards. Come on, use your wrist to exert more force and use your waist to pull the sword inwards."

Because of his height, Yuan Chu bent down slightly, half-hugged Gu Xi from behind, and held her waist with one hand.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and the hot air from Yuan Chu's breath sprayed directly on Gu Xi's neck.

If they were a man and a woman, the current posture would be extremely ambiguous, but she herself hadn't noticed it yet and was busy explaining to Gu Xi while correcting her posture herself.

Master was too close to me, so close that I could clearly smell the faint scent of sandalwood on her body, so close that I couldn't control my own heartbeat.

My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest, and my master's warm breath sprayed on my neck, making it itchy.

Gu Xi now dared not move, his whole body was tense, and his face radiated unstoppable heat.

Feeling the tension of the person in front of him, Yuanchu was still unaware. He only felt that his disciple's body was a little stiff. He said in a gentle voice:

"Relax, come, follow my movements again, and you will be able to do it perfectly."

Yuanchu felt that his little disciple was so smart that she would definitely understand it completely if he taught her again.

After going through it once, Yuan Chu let go of Gu Xi's hand. When he stepped out, he saw that his little disciple's ears were red as if they were about to bleed. He suddenly realized that his previous actions seemed a little inappropriate.

She forgot that this was a world of immortal cultivation. Would her actions just now be considered as reckless and frivolous by her little disciple?

She had no intention of taking advantage of her young disciple, she just wanted to explain the sword technique to her more clearly.

Thinking of this, Yuanchu glanced at the bamboo in the distance with some embarrassment, coughed twice, and said: "Okay, you have practiced for so long, you should take a break too."

But then she thought, they are all girls anyway, so there should be nothing wrong with hugging and touching them.

I am her master, I just tested the sword myself, I didn't do anything else.

Besides, she had changed little Gu Xi's clothes so many times before, and she had never seemed so embarrassed. As the saying goes, those who are innocent will be cleared.

Besides, Gu Xi is just a 14-year-old kid, so there is nothing to be taboo about.

Yuanchu calmed himself down for a while, and he felt less upset, and finally regained some peace of mind.

Hearing this, Gu Xi turned his back to Yuan Chu and sat on a stone bench not far away, as if escaping.

Gu Xi raised her hand to cool her hot face to cool it down quickly. When her master let her go just now, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, but why should she feel lost?

She sat on the stone bench for a long time without figuring it out. When Master hugged her just now, her body was so soft and fragrant...

The second day was the official start of the preliminary round of this year's Immortal Gate Competition.

The martial arts square was filled with bustling crowds surrounding the competition stage. This was the immortal sect’s grand event that took place every five years.

No matter whether the disciples were participating in the competition or not, they all wanted to join in the fun. For a while, the place was bustling with people and lively.

Soon the elder who presided over the competition began to speak, "The purpose of holding this immortal sect competition is to enhance the friendship of all sects, promote mutual learning among the sects, and strengthen our immortal sect. The competition must be stopped during the competition, and no one's life should be harmed."

"According to yesterday's random assignment order, today's first match will begin. Beidou Sect's Li Linshou will face Lingshan Sect's Zhou Sichen. Please go to the competition stage immediately to participate in the competition."

A disciple who was watching the fun discussed: "I heard that Li Linshou is the last disciple of Li Guangxu, the master of Beidou Sect. He has been gifted since he was a child and has also received Li Guangxu's true teachings."

"His opponent Zhou Sichen is no ordinary person either. He is one of the best in Lingshan Sect."

The crowd around them said: "You two are both young talents, but the final result of the competition can only be revealed after the competition is over."

The two men fought back and forth on the stage, and to outsiders it seemed that they were evenly matched, but only those who were competing on the stage knew that neither of them had yet to reveal their true strength and they were just testing each other.

The two young men faced each other with swords in their hands. The spiritual energy around them surged, as if telling of the tension and intensity of the battle.

Li Linshou had a determined gaze and a serious expression. He held a long sword in his hand, and a faint silver light flowed through the sword.

He knew very well that the man in front of him was much stronger than he showed, so he had to be fully prepared to face this battle.

Zhou Sichen, on the other hand, looked more relaxed. His facial features were naturally as soft as water, and there was a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.

He looks very gentle, like jade and a modest gentleman, and that gentle temperament is natural.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Li Linshou found that he had lost. He had used up all his spiritual power and utilized the Gangfeng Jue he had practiced to the extreme, but it was easily resolved by the opponent. There was no point in fighting any further.

Then, he said with some difficulty: "I give up."

Zhou Sichen's expression remained unchanged. He suppressed the bloody taste in his throat and smiled gently, "Thank you."

Li Linshou felt that his skills were inferior to others and walked off the competition stage in shame.

The disciple who reported the score said: "Zhou Sichen of Lingshan Sect won this battle, and he gets 3 points."

Yuan Chu, who watched the entire competition, said with regret: "What a pity."

She had just clearly seen that Zhou Sichen was already holding on after receiving Li Linshou's Gangfeng Jue, but it did not show on his face.

This shows that Li Linshou is better than Zhou Sichen in terms of martial arts skills, but Li Linshou himself did not realize it. He lost because of his poor ability in guessing people's hearts.

If he had persisted a little longer, the outcome might not be like this, so she felt a little regretful.

Gu Xi, who was standing next to Yuan Chu, also discovered something was wrong. She heard her master say this, but she didn't think there was anything wrong. She couldn't deny that being scheming was also a skill.

Then the master and disciple watched the competition for the whole day.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the last competition ended.

The presiding elder said: "Today's competition is over. Please rest well and make full preparations for tomorrow's competition."

After returning to his own courtyard, Yuanchu explained some precautions to Gu Xi, such as emphasizing the key points of the mental method.

Tell her not to be too nervous, to take a rest, that the ranking is not important, etc. Then tell her to go back to her room and rest early.
