Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

I don't know who took a deep breath, and immediately heard Fu Xiang from the audience shout: "Xiaoqiu!"

Bai Ling stared blankly at Yin Qiu's hand, before he understood why he suddenly hurt her, when he was astonished, he saw Yin Qiu pulled out her sword expressionlessly, raised his leg and kicked her come over.

Bai Ling's ankle tilted, and he fell down.

Seeing this situation, everyone present was obviously unexpected, and they all showed surprise.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly become like this?"

"It's weird. Usually people say that Yin Qiu is talented and good at acting, but why is she using swordsmanship indiscriminately today? Hasn't she learned the three-light set moon?"

"That's right. Anyone who has learned Yunhua's swordsmanship should know that she needs to use the three-light set moon to break Ruyan's point of water. What was her move just now? It's completely out of order!"

"Is this the best among the new disciples? I think it's just like that. I'm afraid those new disciples admired Master Shen so much that they praised her? It's not as good as that Fu Xiang."

It's not just the disciples who have such doubts, even the elders can't understand it, so they all whispered to each other.

Among them, the one with the worst complexion was Xie Yijun.

She held back her anger and whispered to Man Jiangxue: "She is really good at pretending to be so realistic that she even deceived the eyes of the elders of the peaks!"

Although Man Jiangxue didn't say a word, she didn't show too much emotion, but she looked at Yin Qiu's bloody hand, and her brows were unconsciously frowned.

"This is what you said earlier, she understood?" Xie Yijun's eyebrows were not friendly, and his tone was sullen, "Others can't see it, but I can see it clearly. She clearly did it on purpose just now! Why, this time Injured her hand, unable to hold the sword, and stopped hitting? She is going to blatantly go against my wishes and go to help that Fu Xiang! It's just nonsense!"

It was almost noon at this time, with the warm sun shining bright golden light, Man Jiangxue looked at Yin Qiu from afar, and tapped her fingers lightly on the small table by her side, she listened calmly to Xie Yijun's speech Huo, when she finished speaking, Man Jiangxue said calmly: "It's none of her business, I told her to do this."

"You—?" Xie Yijun's tone changed, "Are you willing to let her get hurt on purpose? What kind of joke!"

Man Jiangxue acted nonchalantly, and said, "When necessary, you can give up if you don't want to."

Xie Yijun was so angry that his eyebrows twitched, and he was about to reprimand her sharply, but Man Jiangxue got up suddenly, and walked down the stands without looking back.

In the sword arena, Yin Qiu withdrew his sword calmly, clasped his fists at Bai Ling who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Accept."

Bai Ling looked at her with complicated eyes: "You..."

Yin Qiu stooped to help her up, and when the two approached, she said in a very low voice, "Sorry."

Bai Ling was full of doubts, and was about to ask Yin Qiu a question, but was slapped by Xu Lianzhi.

"This competition, Yin Qiu wins!"

There was an uproar in the stands.

Seeing Fu Xiang flying up to the stage in a hurry, Bai Ling moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say. She was like a fly without a head, and she hadn't realized what happened, so she sighed and left with her sword in her hand.

"Xiaoqiu! How's your hand?"

Yin Qiu wrapped up the deep sword wound on the palm of his hand with a handkerchief, and smiled: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

"You still said it didn't hurt!" Fu Xiang yelled, "Your face is pale!"

But no matter what, Yin Qiu won this competition after all. Even though the process was criticized by others, many disciples began to question her strength, but she didn't care about those whispers, on the contrary, it seemed that nothing happened In general, he smiled and said to Fu Xiang: "It's okay, we still have a competition in a while, you promised me, you must never let me."

How can Fu Xiang care about things now?Hurriedly dragging Yin Qiu away from the Sword Discourse Arena to get medicine, the two bid farewell to Xu Lianzhi and Ye Zhilan, hurried up the path, and when they passed through a moon gate, they saw a familiar snow-white figure standing in front of them.

Looking at those indifferent eyes, Yin Qiu involuntarily stopped, and hid his bloody right hand wrapped in a veil behind him.

Seeing Man Jiangxue coming, Fu Xiang wanted to say hello to her, but seeing her cold expression, he didn't dare to speak.

She watched Man Jiangxue's gaze cast on Yin Qiu, and she let go of Yin Qiu with great interest and exited the door.

·

"Uncle Master." Yin Qiu clasped his palms and looked at Man Jiangxue pretending to be calm.

Man Jiangxue remained silent.

Yin Qiu knew that she must have seen that she had been injured deliberately, and that she must have come to question him, so she lowered her eyebrows and waited quietly for Man Jiangxue to speak.

However, after a long time, she didn't hear Man Jiangxue's voice. Yin Qiu felt tormented, and when he was about to admit his mistake, Man Jiangxue asked her first, "Does it hurt?"

Yin Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and his already uncomfortable heart was filled with an indescribable feeling because of these two short words.

She bit her lip and said honestly, "It hurts..."

Man Jiangxue looked at her for a while, but the other party didn't say a word about the competition, but just took Yin Qiu's other hand and said, "Apply the medicine first."

Yin Qiu didn't dare to look up at her, so he could only obediently follow Man Jiangxue. The two of them didn't go back to the disciple's courtyard, but went to the martial arts training ground. Since the disciples occasionally have accidents when practicing martial arts, a room was set up in this place. The pharmacy has a lot of medicines in it for emergencies.

The window was wide open, and the sunlight poured into the room from the eaves. Yin Qiu sat on a wicker chair, silently watching Man Jiangxue clean her wound, apply medicine carefully, and then wrap the wound with gauze. During the whole process, Yin Qiu suppressed the pain and did not cry out for pain, but she could not restrain her trembling. There was a dense layer of cold sweat on her forehead, and her lips were as white as a sheet of paper.

After the bandage was finished, Man Jiangxue called for water to clean her hands, but she still didn't ask anything, she just wiped Yin Qiu's face and said: "After the meeting, if the leader asks you for questions, you can just say Today's action is what I ordered you to do."

Hearing this, Yin Qiu raised his eyes in disbelief: "Uncle Master..."

"I don't ask you why," Man Jiangxue said, "I won't blame you easily, as long as you are very clear about what you are doing."

Yin Qiu stared at her blankly, and his voice became hoarse: "I just believe that Fu Xiang will not be a bad person. She is not welcome in Mingyue Tower, and she will be guarded against thieves in the palace, as if everywhere As if she couldn't tolerate her, the uncle and the sect leader don't know Fu Xiang at all, but I know her, I know how much she wants to go back to Mingyue Tower now, so I really can't turn a blind eye, I'm sorry, uncle... I have failed you and the Sect Leader's expectations of me."

"That's not what I expected of you." Man Jiangxue said.

Yin Qiuhong narrowed her eyes and tried her best to hold back her tears: "The master must be very angry and disappointed, but I...but I really can't bear to see Fu Xiang..."

If Fu Xiang loses, then she will never be able to return to Mingyue Tower, but as long as she wins, Xie Yijun will not break his promise in public and will definitely accept Fu Xiang as his apprentice. In this way, even if Xie Yijun intends to send her out of the palace, Fu Xiang Xiang also had enough time to contact Fu Cen, and he could return to Mingyue Tower as he wished.

You must know that if she directly loses to Yin Qiu in the conference, even if she goes to another peak, Xie Yijun will definitely find a reason to send her out of the palace, and sending her out of the palace means becoming an outer disciple. It's all fake. Once she leaves, there is no possibility of her coming back. She can only be an ordinary low-level disciple outside. When the real time comes, Fu Cen will not even look at her.

And the competition between her and Yin Qiu will definitely be closely watched by Xie Yijun. Yin Qiu is not good at giving in openly, so he can only intentionally get injured in the previous competition. When she confronts Fu Xiang, even if she loses, it is only because It's just a defeat.

Even though Xie Yijun had seen her intentions in what she had done just now, the thing had already happened, and Xie Yijun had nothing to do with her.

Suspicion and precautions can easily ruin a person's fate, which is a cruel thing in Yin Qiu's eyes.

She didn't disregard the safety of the teacher, she just believed in her instincts, she didn't believe that Fu Xiang would be the kind of person Xie Yijun guessed.

So she can't do it knowing she can't do it.

This is not fair.

·

"Is it better to go down?" Man Jiangxue washed the veil and asked very flatly.

"For comparison." Yin Qiu said.

"Then have you thought about where to go after the conference?" Man Jiangxue asked again.

Yin Qiu was silent for a while: "Mmm..."

Man Jiangxue said, "Where are you going?"

Yin Qiu stopped talking.

Seeing that she refused to answer, Man Jiangxue looked at her and said, "Let me tell you again, I don't accept apprentices."

Yin Qiu paused, lowered his head: "I know..."

Man Jiangxue reached out and touched the top of her head, and said, "You have to understand that if I accept you as an apprentice, it means..."

For some reason, she didn't finish the rest.

But Yin Qiu's thoughts were complicated, and she failed to notice that she hesitated to speak.

So Man Jiangxue finally just continued: "Let's go."

Yin Qiu was in a daze, and followed Man Jiangxue out of the pharmacy, and the two of them walked back and forth on the same road. When they were about to enter the Sword Discourse Arena, Yin Qiu suddenly stopped, grabbed Man Jiangxue and said: "Uncle Master, do you still remember the promise you made to me?"

Man Jiangxue looked at her sideways for a while: "I remember."

Yin Qiu raised his head and looked back at her, and said softly: "Then I hope Master will do what he says, and don't keep his word."

Man Jiangxue said: "Since it is a promise, there is no reason to break the promise."

Hearing this, Yin Qiu finally smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

·

Returning to the Sword Discourse Arena again, other disciples were already competing in martial arts. Although many old disciples criticized Yin Qiu, the new disciples were familiar with her, so they would not sneer at Yin Qiu, but were very concerned about her. Her injury, words are full of kindness and care.

Only Xu Lianzhi looked unhappy, and asked Yin Qiu, "What did you do? I haven't seen you make such a mistake before, what happened today?"

Yin Qiu lowered his head, and replied: "It may be the first time to participate in this kind of conference. I was a little stage frighted. I was nervous and flustered, so I didn't perform well... I disappointed the senior sister."

"You obviously played steadily in the first half, but suddenly you lost your hands and feet in the second half," Xu Lianzhi said, "Why couldn't you avoid Bai Ling's sword? What were you thinking in your mind, and you actually caught it with your bare hands?"

Yin Qiu's attitude is humble, allowing her to reprimand herself without explaining herself.

Xu Lianzhi could only sigh: "Forget it. You are young and your mind is not stable enough. It is normal for your hand to be injured like this. What are you going to do next? Go back to the courtyard to rest as soon as possible."

Yin Qiu hurriedly said: "Senior sister, I'm fine, I can continue."

Xu Lianzhi looked at her: "Don't be willful, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to my uncle."

"I told my uncle that she agreed with me to continue the martial arts competition," Yin Qiu said, "If you encounter injuries in the future, you can't just give up halfway every time. If the senior sister agrees with me, I will come as arranged , I can hold on."

Since she made such a request, Xu Lianzhi didn't persuade her much, and agreed after a few instructions.

During the conversation between the two, Fu Xiang had been standing on the sidelines not to interrupt rashly. When Xu Lianzhi finally left, she wanted to ask Yin Qiu in detail why Yin Qiu was injured, but before she could speak, she heard Xu Lianzhi call her name .

Fu Xiang sighed heavily, and before going on stage, he patted Yin Qiu on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll go, if you really can't stand the pain, it's okay to retire. With your aptitude, you don't have to worry about not having master."

Yin Qiu nodded, watched her fly into the arena, returned to the stand and sat down amidst the greetings of all the disciples.

In the next few competitions, Fu Xiang lived up to everyone's expectations and won, passing all the way to the finals. Although Yin Qiu was injured, her strength lies there. She can defeat the other disciples even with pain. Like Fu Xiang, he advanced to the last few places.

After all, it is a martial arts competition related to the way to go. The disciples showed their strength today, with faith and goals in their hearts, which made many people perform much better than usual. The last few people who entered the finals, except Yin Qiu and Fu Xiangwai are both mediocre and inconspicuous people. It can be seen that how to play on the spot is the key.

After another round of competition, there were only four outstanding players left, and at this point in the conference, according to the usual practice, there was no need for a two-person duel, and it was changed to a four-person melee. Select the top three winners of this year's conference.

Such an intensive competition, with no rest at the end, even Fu Xiang, who has always had the best physical strength, couldn't take it anymore. She poured two bowls of water in one go, collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath, while He turned his head to look at Yin Qiu who was busy changing the gauze on his palm.

"Xiaoqiu, can you still hold on?"

Yin Qiu's face was pale, and he forced himself not to care about the severe pain of the wound, and wrapped the bandage in two or three strokes, exhaled and said, "I can hold on."

On one side, the other two female disciples who entered the finals are also hurrying to rest. The four of them will have the last competition in a while. Fu Xiang looked at Yin Qiu's hand that was still bleeding, and couldn't help it. Asked: "Do you have to fight so hard? As long as you talk to Uncle Man, I believe she will let go. You are in such pain, why don't you stop beating?"

Yin Qiu drank a few sips of water, wiped the sweat off his neck with shaking hands, and said, "I won't give up. I've survived so many games, and I haven't lost a single time," she said with a pale face. Showing a provocative smile at Fu Xiang, "Or do you think I can't beat you if I'm injured?"

Fu Xiang didn't know what Yin Qiu paid for her, nor did he see that Yin Qiu was injured by Bai Ling on purpose, and he didn't know that Xie Yijun had already planned to deal with her. was kept in the dark.

So she only thought that Yin Qiu was eager to win, and felt that she was eager to get No.1 so as to get close to Man Jiangxue, so she sighed and said, "I don't know if you can beat me, but if I Winning against you is also invincible.”

"Victory is victory without martial arts," Yin Qiu said, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Fu Xiang sighed again: "But with you like this, I really can't fight you... It's too unfair to you."

Isn't it fair?

Hearing this, Yin Qiu couldn't help falling silent.

If she hadn't told Man Jiangxue that Fu Xiang had practiced martial arts a long time ago, Man Jiangxue would not have reported to Xie Yijun, and Xie Yijun would not have made up his mind to deal with Fu Xiang, although Man Jiangxue and Xie Yijun would not There is no fault, but why is Fu Xiang wrong?

But the person who caused the current situation was Yin Qiu herself. If she hadn't revealed Fu Xiang's secret, how could things have turned into this?

It was precisely because of guilt that Yin Qiu secretly helped Fu Xiang, and what she was most afraid of was that Fu Xiang would be shaken by her injury. Once Fu Xiang retreated, everything she did today would be in vain.

Yin Qiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Fu Xiang seriously: "So what do you mean?"

Fu Xiang looked at Yin Qiu, with a somewhat ambiguous expression flashing across her face, she thought for a while, and said after deliberation: "If you are not injured, then I will definitely try my best to compete with you, but you are injured. It took a lot of physical strength and energy to fight all the way down like this, and I was no longer my opponent. It wasn't that I was talking big, and I didn't pay attention to the other two. Don't look at me being out of breath now, but I After a short rest, you'll be alive again, but what about your injury? It's impossible to recover immediately, so wouldn't that mean I'm bullying you?"

After she finished speaking, she murmured sadly again: "If you really want to be with Uncle Man so much, why don't we work together to defeat the other two, and then I will deliberately lose to you..."

"No!" As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Qiu said firmly, "Absolutely not! Even if you have the heart, I will not accept your favor."

Fu Xiang was stunned: "But..."

"Don't be so!" Yin Qiu showed impatience towards her for the first time, and said coldly, "Do you want to be a waste in your father's eyes, or do you want to be the young landlord you think about day and night?"

Fu Xiang was startled, but was speechless when questioned by her.

"You can say such a thing, which proves that you really regard me as a friend. I am very happy," Yin Qiu said unquestionably, "but if you deliberately let me go, wouldn't it be a contempt and insult to me? I I don’t need anyone to let me go, even I can do it and never give up, so why do you tell me you want to lose to me at this time?”

Fu Xiang's heart was shaken, as if her heart was being bitten by ants, she got up from the ground sighing, squatted beside Yin Qiu and said dejectedly: "If you don't let me, don't let me go, don't kill me..."

Seeing her like this, Yin Qiu couldn't feel any better, so he could only soften his tone and say, "If you dare to let me go, you won't be able to talk to me for the rest of your life."
