Sang Quan frowned, checked Zhang Yan's pulse, then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Huaying.
"It's nothing serious. It's just some flesh injuries. The spiritual power in the body is depleted, and the spiritual consciousness is consumed too much, so I fainted. Although the injury is not serious, it seems that I still need to recover for a few days..."
Zhou Huaying understood immediately and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter! Uncle Sang will take Junior Brother Zhang to cultivate in another courtyard with peace of mind. If you need any elixir, just tell us!"
After hearing this, a stiff smile appeared on Sang Quan's tense face. After handing Zhang Xi to other disciples, he nodded.
"Master Nephew Zhou, now I, Fu Huashan, have been defeated in three battles. In addition, my apprentice is injured and unconscious, and I have no intention of continuing the competition. Why don't we give up today's competition, and I will bring my disciples for advice someday!"
Zhou Huaying nodded slightly when he heard this, "In that case, uncle, please take your junior brother back to recuperate. In the future, as long as your uncle is free, you can come back to compete at any time!"
"Well, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Sang Quan left the martial arts stage with his disciples and walked towards the other courtyard.
"Aren't we going to fight now?"
Seeing them leaving, Wang Tiezhu had a look of regret on his face.
"I thought I could still stretch my muscles today, but it seems that I can't... It's all because Xiao Lu was too cruel, and he completely lost the fighting spirit of the opponent..."
Thinking about this, Wang Tiezhu raised his head and looked towards the stage, only to see Lu Qinan limping towards the stage with the support of Zu Yijin.
"But I didn't expect that classmate Xiao Lu would improve so quickly. Before I left, he was still a fool who was easily influenced by his emotions. I didn't expect that now he has learned to exercise restraint. He is a teachable kid!"
Lu Qinan, who was frowning and walking down the steps, suddenly felt something in his heart. He felt a pair of eyes looking at him. When he turned around, he saw Wang Tiezhu's face full of relief.
"Um?"
"Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Zu Yijin, who was supporting him, noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, let's go."
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head. After hearing this, Zu Yijin didn't ask any more questions and helped him down the steps.
"Junior Brother Lu, how is your injury?"
When Zhou Huaying saw the two people coming down, she also came over and asked.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I'm sorry. It's nothing serious. It's just superficial. I'll be fine after a few days of rest..."
"That's good……"
Zhou Huaying nodded slightly and continued: "I am responsible for your injury this time. All the elixirs used during the healing period can be reimbursed by the sect. In addition, each of you will count one hundred experience points."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
"No thanks, go back and rest quickly! Junior Brother Zu, please take care of Junior Brother Lu."
Zu Yijin nodded, "Don't worry, senior brother, just leave it to me."
After that, the two of them nodded to the other disciples and left the martial arts stage first.
After they left, Kong Yulou and Xu Jianxing also left one after another. Before the latter left, he specifically found Wang Tiezhu and asked him if he wanted to return to Taiyu Peak together.
After getting the reply "I still have things to do, I'll come back at the party", I took his hand and asked him to go back and have a drink with me, then left alone.
Looking at the sword shadow disappearing in the air, Wu Sili commented.
"Xu Jianxing is good at everything, but he's a bit stupid..."
After hearing this, Wang Tiezhu looked at him in surprise and thought, "How dare you criticize others for being stupid?"
"Junior brother, you are not allowed to take action this time, are you a little disappointed?"
When he turned around, he saw Zhou Huaying walking over.
"so far so good……"
Wang Tiezhu chuckled and said, "Just now I saw that among the disciples of Fu Huashan, Zhang Xi is the only one who knows some swordsmanship. The others are just here to make up the numbers. There is not much meaning in such a competition."
"Haha, you are right, they are indeed here to make up the numbers..."
Seeing the meaningful smile on Zhou Huaying's face, Wang Tiezhu was slightly startled.
"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"
Zhou Huaying turned around and looked in the direction of Litian Courtyard with a deep and distant gaze.
"Fu Huashan specializes in martial arts and doesn't have many sword techniques to pass on. Today, Sang Quan asked me to find some disciples to discuss and exchange sword techniques with each other. This is very strange.
In the first two games, the Fu Huashan disciples who came up to compete could not see any trace of sword practice. They were not at all proficient in swordsmanship as he said. These two points made me very confused..."
"And when Lu Renyi lost and Zhang Xi suddenly came to power and gained an advantage in the competition, he even showed an angry look.
Think about it, who would feel unhappy because his disciple won? Unless his purpose from the beginning was not to win the game, but to use the game to achieve some goals!"
"Achieve some purpose?"
Wu Sili on the side was confused.
“What does the competition accomplish?”
Zhou Huaying turned around and said with a smile: "He has already said it himself!"
"ah?"
Wu Sili's eyes widened, "When? What did you say?"
While Wang Tiezhu was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I want to stay in Jianzong for a few more days!"
"That's right!"
Zhou Huaying glanced at him approvingly and continued.
"He just wants to continue to stay in the Sword Sect on the basis of recuperating his disciple's injuries. This is why just after Zhang Xi was seriously injured and fell into coma, he proposed to terminate the competition, because his goal has been achieved and there is no point in continuing the competition.
.”
"I see!"
Wu Sili showed an expression of sudden realization, "So, that Zhang Xi lost on purpose?"
"No!"
But Zhou Huaying shook her head, "Zhang Xi didn't show any mercy, and Junior Brother Lu did win by relying on his own strength."
"Huh? What senior brother just said..."
"According to Sang Quan's idea, he wanted Zhang Xi to lose on his own initiative, but after seeing his junior brother lose to an opponent at a lower level.
Zhang Xi was so angry that he forgot Sang Quan's instructions and used all his strength to deal with Junior Brother Lu, but in the end Junior Brother Lu won by outplaying him..." Zhou Huaying spread his hands and said.
"Ah this..."
Wu Sili was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Wang Tiezhu touched his chin and said: "If Sang Quan wants to continue to stay in Jianzong, he must be trying to make some small moves... Senior brother, do you need me to go and find out?"
"Of course it's good if my junior brother wants to go!"
Zhou Huaying said with a smile: "Just don't alert the snake, we still have to wait for the big fish to come online!"
"Hahaha! Got it!"
After that, Wang Tiezhu said goodbye to the two of them, used a nameless mask to change his appearance in a corner, and put on the system of Jianzong, and then walked towards Litian Villa...
