Every time I go back to the mountain, I will see the apprentices making trouble

Dawn broke, and the first competition of the second day began.

Haiwu from Baizhang Peak faced Zichun from Lancang Peak.

Both of them did not use fancy movements, but each held their swords and walked steadily onto the martial arts stage.

"Third Senior Brother! Come on!" The junior sisters from Lancang Peak who were uniformly dressed in azure robes cheered crisply in the audience.

"Second, come on." Lu Xingchen replied feebly, but Xinlian didn't even bother to watch Hai Wu's competition, so Lu Xingchen forced her to come here.But fortunately, the junior sister of Lancang Peak didn't intend to sing with him.

Zichun smiled embarrassedly, which made Haiwu very embarrassed standing on the stage.Hai saluted blankly, Zichun saluted back, and the two drew their swords out of their sheaths.

"Hai Wu's hands are shaking." Lu Xingchen said suddenly.

"Nervous." Mo Wendi said.

"Zichun didn't realize that there is no way to win this battle." Lu Xingchen said.

Xinlian and Mo Wendi did not speak, noncommittal.

The swords of the two met for the first time, Hai Wu frowned, and immediately withdrew to withdraw his sword. Zichun was lucky with the sword and pursued the victory.Unexpectedly, Hai Wujing reversed the direction of force while retracting the sword, and dropped the sword fiercely. In an instant, the two swords met for the second time.

A long sword fell to the ground with a bang.

It is Zichun's sword.

"Win?" Xinlian asked in surprise.

Lu Xingchen said, "Are you trying to say that victory comes too fast like a tornado?"

"Senior Brother Zichun's swordsmanship must be good." A disciple of Suixin Peak put his arm on Xinlian's shoulder, and Xinlian shrank her neck in fright. When she saw the man's face, she slapped him away in disgust. The hand on his shoulder, "Qing Xiao, you are so shameless to comment on the sword skills of other seniors even when you have stepped on the wrong seven-star step!"

Lu Xingchen secretly laughed that it turned out to be the disciple of Suixin Peak who had a big embarrassment on the martial arts stage, and quietly stood in front of Xinlian.

Seeing Qing Xiao's scoundrel, Xin Lian felt displeased in her heart, and then taunted: "Could it be that you miss Chun and walk like that Hongluan star on your feet?"

"No, no," Qing Xiao said, shaking his head, "I'm stepping on your lucky zodiac sign, Senior Sister, don't say that about me, Senior Sister!"

The corner of Xinlian's mouth twitched, and she stopped paying attention to him.

Seeing Hai Wu walking towards them, Lu Xingchen greeted Mo Wendi and Xinlian, and the three of them approached Hai Wu, looking at him longingly.

"You?" Hai Wu looked back at them in puzzlement.

Lu Xingchen hurriedly said, "Start your performance."

"?"

"I mean, tell me how you beat Zichun just now."

"Oh," Hai Wu said, "I was still a little nervous when I first entered the arena, so I didn't check Senior Brother Zichun's cultivation carefully. When I exchanged swords with him for the first time, I found out that he was weak and exploded. So I pretended to be invincible and withdrew my sword to lure him to attack, and I forcibly hit the second sword midway, and knocked his sword away."

The three applauded.

Lu Xingchen said: "As expected of a powerful player."

Xinlian is not a white lotus with no brains. On the contrary, when she does most things, she often has her own considerations.It's just the so-called consideration, and it's inevitable that you won't be able to jump out of a certain frame.

For example, she predicted that after a tie with Jiang Yue, she would enter the top few in the autumn test, but she didn't expect that she would make a big splash, the top four in the autumn test: she, Qinghuai, Jiang Yue, and Hai Wu.Xinlian didn't even understand that she had really cultivated so advancedly.Or is this generation of disciples too worthless?

Also, she underestimated Qing Huai too much.I thought that this handsome outer disciple, apart from his first-class skills in picking up girls, was only a little qualified for cultivation, and I even kept an eye out for saving several parts of the Suixin Peak exercise "Xinxin Jue" To Qinghuai.Unexpectedly, he also entered the top four, and according to the elder brother, Qinghuai's cultivation level is comparable to that of Haiwu, and the ability he has shown so far is comparable to that of Haiwu. I don't know if he still has reservations.Although Xinlian is also very proud of Qinghuai, but...

However, this kind of joy and pride disappeared when she stood on the stage where she competed with Qing Huai.The corner of Qinghuai's mouth was as usual with that shallow, evil smile, and he said casually, "Lian'er, I will show mercy."

As expected, Xinlian was bewitched by this magnetic voice, and she didn't even know how she lost, just like when she first met Qinghuai, she was fascinated by his speed.

"Pretty man trick, pretty man trick." Ling Yao sighed, and crossed out Xinlian's name on the student roster, "Young people use this trick, um, it's a good idea."

"Brother Sect Leader, what do you think?" Ling Yao lamented that it was not enough, and went to find a sense of identity with Aoki.

Aoki's brows were somewhat gloomy, and his face was extremely serious, he didn't laugh like Ling Yao, "I said, there is really something wrong with this generation of inner disciples."

"Oh?" Ling Yao looked at the martial arts platform under the viewing platform, "That's why you made an exception and let the disciples from the outer sect participate in the autumn meeting."

The tone is sure.

"Are you afraid, what happened 13 years ago will happen again." Zhao Qingmu said.

"You follow the precedent of master and open the disciples from the outer sect to participate in the autumn meeting. Do you also want to prevent this? But I think this may be counterproductive. Ling Yao and Liu Lan may not come from the outer sect, nor may spies from the inner sect come from the inner sect. .”

The headman frowned, "You mean, there are spies from the Demon Cult in the outer sect? You suspect it's that Qinghuai? But there's no proof, and Xingchen didn't find anything. Why do you say it's him?"

Ling Yao smiled, with cold fire flashing in his eyes, he said: "Senior Brother Aoki, you know, I have experienced on the battlefield for several years before. At that time, my robe Ze told me such a story: There were two There are two countries with almost the same national strength. One day, the two countries went to war.

Because there is no distinction between high and low national power, the war was stalemate for a while.The commanders of the two armies wanted to come up with unique skills to defeat the enemy. One of the generals, regardless of his background, chose most of his leaders to be civilians.This was criticized by many people at the time, because the leader should have been a nobleman. Do you know who won the battle? "

The leader pondered for a moment, "This general chooses talents, and his fighting power must be higher than that of the opponent. I guess this general won."

"No, senior brother guessed wrong." Ling Yao shook his head, meeting Zhao Qingmu's slightly surprised eyes, "Although that general selects talents and talents, the civilians he selected are mixed with the enemy's spies. In that battle, he was completely defeated. After the war, the general returned home, was impeached by the nobles in the court, and was later executed."

Zhao Qingmu said: "How could this happen?"

Ling Yao said: "But the story is not over yet. The two countries fought a war, and they lived in peace for a long time. But later, the two countries fought again. This time, a country was destroyed. Brother, guess which one it is. nation?"

Zhao Qingmu said, "Is that the general's country?"

"On the contrary," Ling Yao shook his head again, "that general's country won this time. Because although the general was impeached and executed, his successor felt that his approach was right, not only in the army, but later It was gradually implemented in the imperial court. The country gradually became stronger and stronger than the other country. So this time, they won."

Zhao Qingmu's complexion changed, "You want me to find out the details of Qinghuai, and don't be that general?"

Ling Yao wanted to say more, but Zhao Qingmu interrupted him, "Okay Ling Yao, you really have changed a lot."

Ling Yao said: "Senior Brother Aoki, since you became the head of the sect, you have changed a lot. Back then..."

Zhao Qingmu interrupted him again, "Didn't you say that you can't mention him anymore, I have a sense of proportion. I will also pay attention to Qinghuai. In the future, the rules of the outer disciples participating in the autumn meeting will be kept. Ling Yao, Liu Lan has had too much influence on you, until now you still can't get out."
