Quadruple split

Half a minute passed

Ji Xiaoge remained motionless as she reached into her bag to take out something, while Mu Xuejian didn't make a move either. He just stared calmly at the beautiful winged girl in front of him, waiting for her answer.

finally--

"How do you know I'm Mo's friend?"

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips and looked subtly at the female swordsman in front of him, whom he was not familiar with and had not even spoken to before today, and asked with a slight frown.

"I remember that you cheered for him in the two games we played against Mo in Academy City."

Mu Xuejian, who theoretically had an absolute advantage, seemed to want to chat with Ji Xiaoge for a few more words, so he did not end the game, but started chatting with the latter in a familiar tone.

It was not that Mu Xuejian underestimated the enemy, but mainly because of her own observations and the suggestions of the two JOKERs. Mu Nuxia, whose strength was ranked in the upper middle among the top 16, knew very well that Ji Xiaoge could no longer threaten her at this moment. , so in this case, she would naturally relax her mind so much that she started chatting with her opponent during the game.

As for Ji Xiaoge, she actually belongs to the type who doesn't mind chatting at all. In fact, if it had been before, she would have happily chatted with Mu Xuejian for a few minutes, and then had a good time. To admit defeat.

Unfortunately, Ji Xiaoge was not in a very good mood today, and thanks to Mu Xuejian's problem just now, her already not good mood even became worse.

"All right."

After a brief hesitation, Ji Xiaoge, who was in an increasingly unhappy mood, sighed silently, nodded and said, "I am indeed Mo's friend. It's an honor to be noticed by you, Lady Mu."

Not hearing the harshness and alienation in Ji Xiaoge's words, Mu Xuejian immediately showed a proud smile after Ji Xiaoge admitted it. While sighing in his heart that he was really discerning, he said casually: "Because you are very beautiful. .”

"Well……"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. After Ji Xiaoge was suddenly complimented by the other party, his emotions were a bit incoherent. After reacting for several times, he twitched the corner of his mouth with a complex expression and said helplessly: "Thank you, you are also very beautiful. .”

"Okay."

Mu Xuejian said nonchalantly, and then continued to ask the question that made it difficult for Ji Xiaoge to laugh: "So, is Mo okay?"

"It's... pretty good, probably."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips and replied: "After leaving Academy City, 'we' went to many places together, which was quite fulfilling."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Ji Xiaoge deliberately added an accent when he said the word ‘we’.

At the same time, the pupils of the smiling face on the commentary table suddenly shrank, and at the same time, the live broadcast of the game was subtly distorted several times as if it had been disturbed.

"calm."

The handsome guy next to him almost squeezed out these two words through his teeth in order to avoid the live broadcast radio. With a slight shake of his right hand placed under the commentary table, he held a dark wooden tablet in his hand and waved it gently. For a moment.

The next moment, the temperature in the commentary room suddenly dropped to a very terrifying level. Although it did not affect the other three commentators, even the epic level powerhouse in the Innocence Realm could not suppress his strength in the public space. Anyone who appears here will be frozen to death in an instant, but this is just a 'little trick' used by the handsome guy to calm down his friends.

"Huh, surprisingly, player Mu Xuejian actually chatted with player Yege after forcing him to land back to the ground. Judging from the content of the conversation, it seems that the two players are no strangers to each other."

After taking a deep breath, Smiley started to explain again as before. Although he didn't exchange eyes with anyone, he used practical actions to express that he was 'okay'.

[Although it's mostly just 'nothing' on the surface...]

The handsome guy complained in his heart, then shook his head after exchanging an uneasy look with the beauty, and took back the tablet containing his natal ghost.

…

"That's right."

Beside the lush lakeside, Mu Xuejian nodded happily: "It seems that he is living a fulfilling life."

"..."

Ji Xiaoge, who subconsciously clenched his hands, froze and asked with an unnatural expression: "You sound like you are quite happy?"

Mu Xuejian nodded without hesitation and said crisply: "Well, I was always worried that he would encounter any danger and be knocked down accidentally to rebuild his character."

"Ah ha ha."

Ji Xiaoge tried his best to twitch the corner of his mouth to make himself look calmer, and asked in a tone that seemed casual but could tell something was wrong: "Nvxia Mu, do you care about that guy? "

"Yeah, since we left Academy City, I've often been worried about Brother Mo's situation. Although I'm not particularly afraid of him encountering any danger, it would be great if everything goes smoothly."

Mu Xuejian first said this without hesitation, which almost made Ji Xiaoge's pretty face turn cloudy. Then he frowned curiously and said, "Is there any problem?"

It can be seen that Mu Xuejian also realized that the attitude of the winged beautiful girl in front of her was a bit strange, but she obviously did not think of 'a certain situation'.

Perhaps in this situation, someone with a more love-minded person could see through Ji Xiaoge's thoughts immediately, but unfortunately, although Mu Xuejian is not a wooden person in the conventional sense, given that she Most of the energy is focused on the fashionable relationship, so it is rarely associated with this aspect outside of specific environments (reading romance novels, girl comics, idol dramas, love dramas).

Of course, Ji Xiaoge had no intention of explaining, and just said flatly: "No problem, I just didn't expect you to care about him so much."

"He's a good opponent."

Mu Xuejian smiled sweetly at Ji Xiaoge and said seriously: "I hope he can get better."

"This is the first time I've heard of it..."

Ji Xiaoge lowered his head, letting his hanging bangs cover his eyes, and said softly: "You have this kind of sympathetic relationship."

"In short, I have had high hopes for him since the first battle in Academy City."

Mu Xuejian rarely showed a refreshing and bright smile, and said to Ji Xiaoge very seriously: "Now that I know he is fine, I am relieved. Oh, by the way, are you together now?"

"Yep."

"Then can you convey this message for me, asking him to pay attention to his own safety?"

"good……"

"By the way, does he still keep the book I gave him before?"

"Keep it, it's good to keep it..."

"That's good. Please let him read more when he has time. That book means a lot to me. I hope he can make good use of it and study the way of swordsmanship."

"OK……"

"If there's someone who doesn't know how, you can ask him... Hey! I might as well add him as a friend later. What's his name?"

"Pitch black as ink's ink, ink's ink..."

"Okay! Then I'll add him after the game. Thank you."

"You're welcome……"

"Ah, by the way, has he been free recently? Has he participated in the prosecution debate?"

"Was eliminated..."

"As expected, after all, his foundation is not very solid, but his understanding and talent are there. Given time, I believe he will be able to take a further step in the way of swordsmanship."

"I thank you on his behalf..."

"By the way, after the competition, we can make an appointment to discuss in the public space. I just want to check his recent results. You just said that you have gone through a lot, so he must have made a lot of progress, right?"

"You also said we'll talk about it after the game."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips, raised her head suddenly and stared at Mu Xuejian with her reddish almond eyes: "The game isn't over yet!"

Mu Xuejian, who already knew that he had a chance to win and thought that the other party also knew this, was stunned for a moment, then pointed his swords together and said apologetically to Ji Xiaoge: "I'm sorry, I'm a little too self-righteous."

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Xiaoge said in a rare and cold voice, and then asked a little abruptly: "Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"

…

At the same time, whether it was Smiley in the commentary box or Mo Tan, who was watching the game in Yidong's private room, they all shuddered in unison. The former's eyes sharpened instantly, while the latter's expression changed. He was completely livid.

If you want to ask why, it is that both of them are very clear about the status of "cooking" in Ji Xiaoge's mind, and the most difficult thing for Ji Xiaoge to accept is to use the food he carefully cooked as a weapon, unless it is like [ [Fragmented Hand-made Eggs], [Shocked Eggs], [Spicy Burnt Powder], and [Cateline’s Rice] are dishes specially prepared for battle. Otherwise, she would be extremely resistant to using her own dishes to do evil things. .

And what she just said, in the eyes of Smiley Face, Wisdom Wife and Mo Tan, is basically tantamount to directly stating that she wants to poison through cooking.

To be serious, Ji Xiaoge's action was already breaking his own principles, which was enough to show how bad the girl's mood was now.

On Mo Tan's side, he was naturally worried that Mu Xuejian's 'problematic statement' just now would make Ji Xiaoge think wildly, and then set himself on fire and make 'himself' doomed.

On the other side of the smiling face, he keenly noticed that a man named [Mo], who was dark as black as ink, was suspected of worrying his daughter, and even had a scene with the sword emperor's eldest sister's daughter that was very close to "jealousy" part.

As for Ji Xiaoge's mother, Ye Xi, who was explained as the pseudonym "Good Wife", didn't think there was any problem at all, and even exchanged a gossipy look with the beauty next to her.

It is enough to show that the parents of the Ji sisters have completely different views on their children's 'emotional issues'.

All in all, Ji Xiaoge’s self-sacrifice speech is not without great influence, but——

…

[Even you, if you eat the food she cooked without any precautions, you may die on the spot and be eliminated. 】

Recalling what someone had specifically told him before the game, even though he felt that he could be hungry at any time, Mu Xuejian took half a step back immediately, shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I I don’t want to eat anything now.”

"Okay, I knew this wouldn't work..."

Ji Xiaoge narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his right hand slightly in his bag.

Almost at the same time, Mu Xuejian also raised his right hand, trying to use a combination of sword techniques to block Ji Xiaoge's action and kill the opponent instantly.

However--

Before taking out something from his luggage, Ji Xiaoge actually spread his wings to cover both sides of his body. After making sure that only Mu Xuejian could see him, he took the lead in taking off the goggles on his forehead with his left hand.

Almost at the same time, Smiley Face immediately took over the footage of the game and forcibly closed several angles that tried to shift to Mu Xuejian's perspective, so that no one could see Ji Xiaoge's face.

The next second...

"Well!?"

Even Mu Xuejian, who is gay and has a very normal orientation, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when [One Glance at the Alluring City] took effect.

Really just for a moment.

Since Mu Xuejian's will is very firm and there is no problem with her orientation, she was only stunned for about 0.98 seconds with the [Sword Heart].

And if Ji Xiaoge wanted to feed Mu Xuejian something like [Uranium Croquettes], the time would definitely not be enough. Even if she could bring the food to the other person's mouth, she would definitely be there. The moment Mu Xuejian regained consciousness, he was killed on the spot with his sword intent.

In other words, Ji Xiaoge simply didn't have the food to kill Mu Xuejian in this situation. Similarly, she didn't have the engineering props that could kill Mu Xuejian in this situation.

So the question is, what does she have?

The answer is - an engineering prop that can kill two people at the same time.
