Refusing to work overtime for the teacher

Two days later.

It was a quiet afternoon, even the chirping of the cicadas stopped, and the sun was like broken gold, flowing lightly in the wind.

In one corner of the Taoist hall, the door of the alchemy room is open, and there are many kinds of materials on the long table near the window. There is a faint green smoke above the alchemy tripod, and the fragrance of bitter medicine is floating indoors and outdoors.

Xie Ling was sitting on the promenade, and Yun Gui was lying outside the promenade.In front of the former is a low table with books, tea and a plate of pastries, while in front of the latter is a sliced ​​watermelon and a bunch of grapes.

The melons and fruits were only recently prepared by Xiao Xun.The season is approaching midsummer day by day, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. One afternoon, Xiao Xun complained that he was always sweating and sticky, so Xie Ling said to him, why not get some refreshing food to cool off the heat? .

So from that day on, among the things Hefeng bought at Shilaifeng, two items, fruit and ice cubes, were added——use ice cubes to cool the fruit.When Xiao Xun was not around, Yun Gui would always run to the Dao Hall to ask Xie Ling for them.

Xie Ling stuffed snacks into his mouth while reading.Thanks to his good health, he doesn't feel hot at all, and he just ate a watermelon in the morning, and he doesn't feel thirsty, but there is always a strange feeling in his heart.

He raised his head from the pages of the book, looked at the wooden beams on the top, pondered for a while, and said, "Old Turtle, do you think I want to watch my stupid apprentice's game?"

Yungui buried his head in the watermelon, gnawing on the bright red flesh with such vigor that he couldn't spare time to pay attention to him.

Xie Ling turned her head to glance at it, let out a long sigh, then fell back and lay on the corridor.

In the past two days, Xie Ling will always take some time to go out on a turtle, flying around the mountains of the Zongmen, listening to the discussions of the disciples from various peaks.

He has figured out the competition system and schedule of the Dianshi Club.Regardless of the star-catching group, the moon-hunting group, or the day-by-day group, the first and second rounds of competition are all one-on-one competitions, and the number of people eliminated is half of the participants.

The third round changed to a points system. Each person had three chances to compete. The winner would get three points, the tie would get one point, and the loser would get no points.The four people with the highest score will enter the next round and will be divided into two groups for competition, and then the leader will be determined between the two winners, while the loser will compete for the third place.

Xie Ling is very confident that Xie Fengxuan can make it to the finals. After all, the aura of the protagonist is invincible, but for Xiao Xun...he doubts that Xiao Xun's retreat at the dinner table that night is just superficial, and he is still thinking about what to do. Can go to Donghua Banquet.

That lingering strange feeling probably also came from this.

"Let's take a look." Xie Ling sighed again, he was really worried about Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun showed him the specific arrangement of the competition yesterday, and the competition between him and Xie Fenglue was at the back.

Time should pass.

But Xie Ling didn't watch it near Qi Xuanfeng's competition stage, but watched it with the "TV" that Xiao Xun dug out from the warehouse.He also wanted to feel the atmosphere of the scene, but if Mr. Xuesheng appeared in front of everyone on a tortoise, it would subvert the previous image.

Xie Ling took out the magic weapon.

is a mirror.The surface of the mirror is smooth, but it can't illuminate people. There are exquisite relief patterns on the back. The material should be silver. I don't know if it is deliberately old or polished over the years. There are obvious black marks in the recessed parts.

Xie Ling held the handle below, a little bit of spiritual power trickled out from his fingertips, and activated it—with his current physical condition, he was able to mobilize a little bit of spiritual power.

In an instant, countless rays of light shot out from the mirror, circulating in the void, gradually outlining what was happening on the Qixuan Peak competition stage.

Xie Ling saw that the picture quality was very clear, but unfortunately, there was no sound.

Do you want to stare here until Xiao Xun comes on stage?Thinking of this, Xie Ling felt dizzy.

He put the magic vessel on the low table and sighed for the third time.

At this time, Yungui finished eating the melon, shook his head to shake off the stained melon pulp and water, and turned to the bunch of grapes.Xie Ling caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and had an idea in her mind.

Xie Ling smiled at Yun Gui, and said in an unprecedentedly kind tone: "A Gui, you have eaten so much of me, now help me watch over it? When Xiao Xun comes on stage, remind me."

Yun □□ didn't lift it up, just took one bite at a time, ignoring this person.

Xie Ling kept smiling, and took a step outside the corridor: "Shall I cut another melon for you?"

Yungui let out a low "woo" from his throat.

He realized that it was unwilling, took two more steps, came to its side, knocked on the turtle shell, and said: "Then I...give you ten more spirit stones?"

As soon as these words came out, Yungui stopped eating grapes and his eyes lit up.After a while, it looked at Xie Ling and nodded to him.

The back of the turtle lifted up the cylinder for storing spirit stones, Xie Ling paid the bill readily and threw in ten pieces of spirit stones.

"Woohoo." Yungui raised his head and called out to Xie Ling, reminding him not to forget to add a watermelon.

Xie Ling snorted, flicked it on the forehead with her fingers, said "OK", walked to the newly built ice cellar, and took out a melon.

Back in the alchemy room, Xie Ling drew out his sword and split the watermelon in half.He put them all in front of Yungui, and when he was about to walk to the corridor, Yungui pointed to half of them with his eyes, and then pointed to Xie Ling.

"You mean to give me half?" Xie Ling understood its meaning and asked with a smile.

Yungui nodded his head.

Xie Ling was not polite to it, said "thank you", picked up half of it and sat back on the promenade under the eaves, digging and eating with a spoon.

One person and one turtle enjoy the fruit.After eating, one of them went to the floor, covered his face with the book, and took a nap; the other straightened his head, staring at the image reflected by the magic weapon.

The wind stops and stays, and the shadow of the sun deflects with the passage of time. When the entire corridor is submerged in shadow, a boy with red clothes and silver hair appears in the mid-air scene.He wore a high ponytail, and held a sword loosely in his right hand. During the walk, he raised his hand and covered it in front of his face, yawning, as if he was about to fall asleep waiting.

Yun Gui hurriedly approached Xie Ling, and gave the sleeping man two bumps with his head.

Xie Ling woke up, her eyelids twitched, she was not particularly willing to get up, and raised her hand to block her eyes.Cloud Turtle hit him with its head again, and a string came out of its throat: "Woo! Woo! Woo!"

"It's Xiao Xun?" Xie Ling realized what he had told Yungui, sat up from the ground in shock, and suddenly became awake without any sleepiness.

"Woo!" Yungui responded.

Xie Ling quickly turned his head and looked at the scene in the void - Xiao Xun was on stage, but fortunately he woke up in time, the competition had not yet started.

He adjusted a comfortable sitting position and let out a sigh of relief.

In the picture, the person who should be the host is talking to the two sides of the test. Xie Ling watched, and subconsciously moved, grabbed a plate of crab cucumber and melon seeds from the mustard space.These were bought at Shi Lai Peak after he changed his appearance with the Mixian Pei, a magic weapon sent by the suzerain.

I always feel that something is wrong if I don’t eat something while watching a game.

On the competition stage, the host announced the start, but Xiao Xun's opponent started talking to Xiao Xun.The two stood opposite each other with a certain distance, but from Xie Ling's perspective, the two were facing him sideways.

He couldn't hear the sound, he could barely tell from the opening and closing of the man's lips that the words were probably to tell Xiao Xun not to struggle and to admit defeat directly.

Xiao Xun's response was to pull his lips into a smile, and raised his sword to make a move.The opponent did not show any contempt, but shook his head slightly, took a step back, and also drew his sword.

The two swords collided.

Xiao Xun was not moved back by the shock, but the place under his feet was dented a few inches.

——You can imagine how much effort Xiao Xun took to stay in place.

He was completely defeated.

The two drew their swords at the same time and retreated.

In the middle of the retreat, Xiao Xun suddenly exerted his strength and rushed towards the opponent.When he passed by, he turned around with his foot and threw his sword behind his opponent.

But - the speed of the opponent is faster than him!

Xie Ling stared at their figures closely. Although he was not present at the scene, he could intuitively judge that the opponent Xiao Xun met was in the upper realm of tranquility.

Xiao Xun might still be able to fight if he was facing the initial stage of tranquility, but that was the upper stage of tranquility...

A breakthrough in a small realm under a large realm will indeed not bring much improvement to people.What makes a person improve is time, and it is the hard work during that time.Generally speaking, the time needed to go from the initial state of tranquility to the upper realm of tranquility should be calculated in years.If this is compared to running, the opponent gets up and runs too much earlier than him.

In the blink of an eye, the two on stage made two or three moves.

It can be regarded as a shame for a person in a quiet upper realm to fight against a person who has not officially started to practice.

Xiao Xun's opponent frowned, and there was a mixture of chagrin and anger in his eyes.He avoided Xiao Xun's sword, turned around, the tip of the sword picked out an arc like a crescent moon, and then pressed down, heading towards Xiao Xun.

Xie Ling had practiced this seemingly ordinary move.It is actually the last move in a certain sword manual, and it is extremely powerful.

Xiao Xun's opponent planned to increase his moves and make a quick decision. If Xiao Xun still refused to give up, he must be seriously injured.

"This bastard will definitely not give up." Xie Ling murmured, complaining that he was about to see the live-action version of catching the enemy's big move with his head, while thinking about how to open the back door since this guy wanted to go to the Donghua Banquet so much.

At this moment, Xiao Xun raised his left hand and grabbed the second sword.

His waist bent back in an incredible arc, and he held two swords, overlapping them, and forcibly blocked the sword.

He raised his leg again, kicked the opponent's chest fiercely, and took advantage of the momentum to turn over and get away from the opponent's sword.

The distance between the two was opened by Xiao Xun.

The first sword was severed by the second sword, Xiao Xun discarded it directly and took out the third one.

Xiao Xun let out a breath slowly, and raised his two swords one high and one low.Beads of sweat slid down the side of his face, and his dark eyes were exceptionally bright.Looking again, the two hands holding the hilt of the sword were emitting light.

It is the brilliance condensed by spiritual power.

Except for those who have really embarked on the path of cultivation, who can turn the invisible spiritual power into something tangible, there is only one situation where this can be done.

——Xiao Xun is breaking through!

Xie Ling stood up abruptly.

Breaking through during the competition?

Xie Ling opened her eyes wide with shock.

Although a long time ago, he felt that Xiao Xun's setting was very suitable to be the protagonist, but he didn't take it so directly, did he?

The author has something to say:

Xie Ling (looks back: Are you going to grab the position?
