"What kind of tie is this?" Xiao Shaoling squinted his eyes for a moment, then smiled lazily at Yue Yin: "It's clearly an abrupt end."

Yue Yin didn't watch the battle carefully, and asked, "Why is Second Senior Brother like this?"

"He has his own reasons." It was Han Bi who answered.

Yue Yin has always been very good at talking: "Mr. Han still understands him, I feel ashamed."

Han Bi smiled, but didn't say anything to refute, it was a tacit consent.

In the first battle post, Ye Tao used the word "challenge" and put himself in the position of a junior. If Shen Zhiqiu took the initiative to attack under such circumstances, he would be suspected of bullying the junior. Although he is straightforward, this has something to do with I still understand the principle of the sword, so I stood in place from the beginning, and responded to all changes with the same.

Shen Zhiqiu once fought against Su Jingyan of Chipei, and he knows his strength very well. If he hadn't happened to break through the confusion at that time and was in a brave state, he might not be able to defeat the opponent easily. Compared with Su Jingyan, Ye Tao is even worse. , when the two swords are dancing, it seems to be able to attract the wind and bring the leaves. It is worthy of being the daughter of Chipei's head.

At the Peach Blossom Forest Tournament, if Ye Tao played, Chi Pei might not be defeated. It was also because of his estimation of Shen Zhiqiu's strength that Ye Tao dared to challenge him.

It's a pity that Shen Zhiqiu is not the same as he was back then.

The two exchanged swords several times, and it seemed that there was no distinction between superiority and superiority, but in fact Shen Zhiqiu was more dominant: Ye Tao attacked repeatedly, but she still could not shake Shen Zhiqiu. As soon as Ye Tao showed his flaws, the counterattack would strike like a torrential rain.

Ye Tao naturally understood this, and couldn't help but panic, but it was just such a stagnation, and a flaw suddenly appeared.

With a flash of the tip of the Shadow Stepping Sword, Shen Zhiqiu was grazing the grass, his body was like a gust of wind, forcing Ye Tao to sideways, and reluctantly avoided the sword, but it was difficult to retreat, Shen Zhiqiu wanted to fight quickly , but suddenly heard a voice transmission: "I have the sword manual of Yan Yu's life."

Ye Tao's voice was condensed into a line, and others were far away, so naturally they couldn't hear it, but this sentence fell into Shen Zhiqiu's ears, but it made him pause, and Ye Tao took advantage of this gap, and jumped backwards to escape the desperate situation , and then her lips moved slightly: "If you don't want the sword manual to be leaked, you and I might as well discuss it."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu frowned, and didn't know how to answer for a while, Ye Tao turned his back to everyone at this time, so he said with his lips: "It's a draw, okay?"

"Not good." Shen Zhiqiu replied.

It was only then that he understood what Ye Tao was planning. Although she was good at martial arts, she didn't want to take the risk of failure. Once she was at a disadvantage, she immediately threw out the idea of ​​a draw, and even used Misty Rain's sword manual as a threat.

Because of this, Shen Zhiqiu turned around and withdrew his sword, not because he didn't want to win, but because in a decisive battle with such an opponent, winning or losing was of no value.

The crowd was far away from the place where the battle was fought, and Shen Zhiqiu resisted Ye Tao's several swords one after another while the sword light was flickering. Withdrawing the sword suddenly, Ye Tao didn't move forward any further. This move was no different from a draw in the eyes of others.

Ye Tao was stunned for a moment, the two swords were still hanging in his hands, as if he didn't react for a while.

Shen Zhiqiu said solemnly: "Since you can't concentrate on fighting, I won't fight with you."

Hearing this, Ye Tao pursed her lips tightly, she was speechless for a while, but her face was very ugly, and she held back a word after a while: "Why did you say that?"

"Since it's a duel, no matter who the opponent is, I will do my best. Only in this way will the outcome be meaningful." Shen Zhiqiu frowned, considering his words, and immediately raised his eyes to meet Ye Tao's gaze , "Your accomplishments are more than that, even if you can't win, you don't need to..."

There is no need to use those insidious means.

Ye Tao knew that he had a good relationship with Han Bi, and thought that he should be a smart and well-rounded person, but he didn't expect this person to be so shameless, and he seemed to want to tell the whole story of the conversation just now, so she hurriedly nodded at him. Putting a hat on: "Mr. Shen said that if you don't fight, you won't fight. Does it mean that I am a woman, so you think I am easy to bully? Jian Zong Mo Yi, it turned out that it was nothing more than that."

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head, and replied calmly: "Since you have drawn your sword, you are a swordsman. It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you are not serious, I will not fight you."

Ye Tao was speechless, but her brows and eyes moved, and then she lowered her head slightly, wondering what she was thinking.

Ying Tianheng, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, was about to make a fuss, when Ye Tao suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly: "It was my fault just now. Mr. Shen, let's play another game."

Shen Zhiqiu stopped the fight halfway through, he felt disappointed in his heart, but now he heard Ye Tao's suggestion, he also nodded.

Tuliu Ying Tianheng was full of words and couldn't blurt out, and was about to make trouble, but found Xiao Shaoling standing beside him without knowing when, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ying, do you have any opinion on my junior brother?"

"Of course not." Ying Tianheng could only applaud on the spot.

Ying Tianheng on this side was feeling aggrieved, while Shen Zhiqiu and Ye Tao on the other side had once again confronted each other, refusing to give in to each other. This time everyone finally understood what Shen Zhiqiu meant by "not doing their best". She is holding two swords, but her aura is stronger than before. She has abandoned the inappropriate beauty and lightness before, and is really in harmony with the Chi Yan mentality she has learned. Her posture is no longer good-looking, but it is very practical. .

Ye Tao looks weak, but in fact she is strong. Seeing that she was going all out, Shen Zhiqiu raised his spirit to fight. His sword realm has been tempered and improved many times, and his upright sword has added a bit of ingenuity and tenacity. Influenced by Xiao Shaoling, he puts speed first when he uses his sword, and after several confrontations with Ye Tao, he gradually gained the upper hand.

Suddenly there was a sword cry, and the curtain of swords came covering the sky and covering the earth. Shen Zhiqiu flipped his wrist, and it was like a cloud and rain in an instant, clearly frank and magnanimous, but it was hard to resist.Previously, everyone's impression of him was just "the disciple of Daoist Yijian", but after this scene, they couldn't help remembering his name.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Ye Tao reluctantly responded to several moves, but finally felt that his strength was exhausted, so he could only sigh: "I lost."

Shen Zhiqiu has always been upright and never let go, but since Ye Tao had already conceded defeat, he would not bother him any more. He turned around and drew his sword again, and said sincerely: "You have excellent bones and bones. If you are determined, he will become a great weapon in court."

Ye Tao was much younger than him. Although he had no ability to fight back, he could vaguely see that he was extremely talented and worthy of this comment.

"Compared to Su Jingyan?" Ye Tao asked suddenly.

Shen Zhiqiu thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "You are better."

"...That's true." Ye Tao also smiled when she heard the words, with a hint of enlightenment.

Seeing Ye Tao admit defeat so bluntly, Ying Tianheng who was beside him hurriedly said, "Since you are willing to admit defeat, then Chi Pei should have no more nonsense now, right?"

Ye Tao glanced at him coldly, and spat: "Ying Tianheng, don't you just want the title of Qizong, why bother to pretend to be neutral? If you are not angry, just lead someone to beat me Chipei, and I will let you Convinced."

Xiao Shaoling liked this kind of scene the most, and hurriedly booed: "Mr. Ying, I can't bear this kind of talk."

"...Everyone, now that the enemy is in front of us, it's better to let go of our personal grievances for the time being." Seeing that the situation is not good, Yue Yin had no choice but to intervene, and then turned around to coax the enthusiastic Xiao Shaoling: "Brother, if you delay , the people in the sinking valley are afraid that they will all retreat."

Xiao Shaoling was right when he said it straight, and quickly raised his arms and shouted: "Give me some face, if you want to fight or kill, come back and talk, let's go now!"

It was a foregone conclusion in a blink of an eye, and Ying Tianheng suddenly misfired. After all, Ye Tao's performance just now was remarkable. If he was really asked to take the lead in the challenge, it was not yet clear whether he would win or lose, and he didn't dare to cause trouble for a while.

After some debate, the crowd, headed by Mo Yi, rode away in a mighty manner. The crusade against Yan Shengu was secretly supported by the imperial court. As long as they participated, it would be a profitable business. I don’t know how many allied forces will join along the way , Yue Yin looked at the various sects that were at odds with each other, and secretly vowed in his heart that Xiao Shaoling must be kept under strict supervision, and he would not be allowed to cause trouble at will.

Han Bi is not from the world, and he has a pampered personality, but he rode along with Mo Yi and his party like never before, making a mess of dust and dust. Shen Zhiqiu saw it and felt guilty, until nightfall, thanks to Han Banbu who accompanied him Managed in advance and booked the entire inn, avoiding many conflicts and frictions.

Yue Yin hadn't done such a comfortable errand for a long time, so he spent all his free time staring at Xiao Shaoling. Xiao Shaoling was so annoying that he even forgot to disturb the two-person world of Shen Zhiqiu and Han Bi.

"According to what you said, Yue Yin will succeed as the head of the sect in the future?" Han Bi sat lazily at the table, staring at Shen Zhiqiu's sword wiping action, without any annoyance, and there was even a bit of affection in his tone smile.

Shen Zhiqiu nodded: "Junior Brother Yue has worked hard and is smart. With him around, Mo Yi won't be in trouble."

"Where's Xiao Shaoling?" Han Bi had always seen Xiao Shaoling unhappy, so he asked knowingly.

Shen Zhiqiu: "Brother doesn't want to be the head of the sect."

Han Bi: "Oh?"

Shen Zhiqiu thought for a while, and answered in detail: "Master said that being the head represents the whole Mo Yi, and you must never fight with others at will, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble... Brother said on the spot: It's boring, Let Yue Yin come."

Seeing that he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Han Bi joked, "Do you want to be the head?"

"I managed Yancheng very poorly at the beginning. I can't take on such a heavy responsibility as the head of the sect." Shen Zhiqiu was frightened and shook his head, and then sighed regretfully, "Actually, Junior Brother Yue was unwilling at first, but Later, the sect head uncle went on a hunger strike for two days, and the senior brother beat him up again, so he had no choice but to agree."

Looking at his terrified appearance, Han Bi couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment. The head of the Sword Sect sounds like a good job, but inside Mo Yi, he is like a frying pan from the sky.

Guan Shanyao said:

【small theater】

Xiao Shaoling: "Junior brother Yue, you have served us sincerely and sincerely for several years. I see it in my eyes, brother, and I am very moved."

Yue Yin: "????"

Xiao Shaoling: "In order to praise you, the master master decided to let you succeed the head of the sect. How is it? Surprised or not?"

Shen Zhiqiu, who only knows how to cheer, stood aside smiling and applauding.

Yue Yin: "..."

After half an hour.

Shen Zhiqiu: "Junior Brother Yue! Talk about something! Don't jump into the river!"
