He was dressed in purple, his black hair was bound by a white jade crown, his thin lips were slightly raised, showing an evil smile, shaking a paper fan in his hand, and walked over side by side with a middle-aged man.
Following Shang Nan was a handsome and elegant man in Tsing Yi, who might be another of Yin Tianjue's subordinates.
Xia Bei didn't come this time, he is probably still tracing her whereabouts.
His appearance immediately drew sideways glances from everyone present, and he seemed to attract more attention than her.
Everyone present stood up and bowed to salute them.
Yan Qiqi's nervousness just now has long since disappeared. Anyway, her current makeup is not visible even to herself, let alone others, so there is nothing to worry about.
So, he also stood up and bowed in style.
When she sat down, Hua Liufeng whispered to her: "Master, you are the master of the Tiansha Sect. Although you are a member of the martial arts community, you are not subject to the supervision of the alliance chief. The court has no control over it, so you don't need to salute them."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yan Qiqi rolled her eyes at him. However, it seemed that the master of the sect was quite majestic and did not need to salute when he saw the prince, which was a bit satisfying.
Hua Liufeng rubbed the tip of her nose. Before he could say anything, she had already bent down.
At this time, Yin Tianjue walked past her without showing any signs of strangeness. It seemed that Hua Liufeng's disguise skills had reached the point where she could hide everything from the outside world.
When he got to the front seat, Yin Tianjue sat there and sipped tea leisurely. He didn't say a word, but his eyes kept searching around, as if he was looking for someone.
Only the leader of the alliance kept talking about things in the martial arts world.
"Master, that stinky girl is not here." Shang Nan looked at everyone and said with a frown.
Yan Qiqi, this stinky girl, must teach her a lesson when he finds her.
What happened last time made him lose face. Now Xia Bei still laughs at him from time to time. This bad breath has been hard to swallow.
"Yeah." Yin Tianjue put down the teacup and looked around again, but still didn't find that familiar figure.
Xia Bei searched for several days but found no news. Then he returned to search and asked the innkeeper along the way, only to find out that she and Mo Chengyu were together, and the three of them went to Yuecheng.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Mo Chengyu.
Two days ago, I brought Mo Lin to the house and used coercion, inducement, and coaxing to get words out of him.
Only then did they realize that they were separated in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the imperial city.
He also sent people to search for it, but to no avail.
Thinking that she should hide in the imperial city, he took advantage of this martial arts conference and asked people to spread the announcement of the martial arts conference in the city. If she saw it, she might come to join in the fun, and she might even encounter it.
If it weren't for looking for Yan Qiqi, he wouldn't have participated in this boring martial arts competition.
However, this time he made a mistake. This girl didn't come to join in the fun, or she didn't go to the imperial city at all.
At this time, Leader Yu said in a calm voice: "All the rewards for this competition are sponsored by His Highness Prince Rui. There are three prizes in total. The first treasure is a thousand-year blood ginseng, and the second treasure is a handful of green ginseng.
Sharp Sword, the third piece is fifty thousand taels of gold."
As soon as his words came out, everyone below was shocked.
Thousand-year-old blood ginseng is difficult to buy even if you have money, and its medicinal value is extremely high. The Qingfeng sword is a military treasure and a sword coveted by martial arts people. Fifty thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, it can buy a small town.
Of course, the people here are all martial arts people, most of them want the Qingfeng sword, a few want the thousand-year blood ginseng, and only a few want the 50,000 taels of gold.
Of course, Yan Qiqi was among these few people. She only had gold in her eyes, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she thought about the piles of gold.
Leader Yu asked people to carry the three prizes up and reveal the treasures to the world.
Then, the competition began.
The principle of the competition is that each treasure must be beaten until no one comes up to challenge it. However, each person can only participate once and cannot continue to challenge the next one, which means that there can only be one at most.
The first thing to compete is the Millennium Blood Ginseng.
Soon, two people competed on the red carpet. The competition was not only for rewards, but the most important thing was for status in the martial arts world.
Yan Qiqi was not interested in the Millennium Blood Ginseng, she was interested in the box of gold.
Looking at the box full of golden ingots, my eyes also glowed with gold.
A lot of gold, how many good things can it buy? Yin Tianjue, a prodigal, can buy so much gold at once.
Thinking about how he used to keep the banknotes she found from dead people as his own, and how he was so rich but still greedy for her little money. Thinking about it, he became angry and couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Yin Tianjue fiercely.
He glared.
At this time, Yin Tianjue's eyes happened to turn around, and their eyes collided.
Yan Qiqi immediately put away her murderous gaze, turned her head, and fanned the paper fan as if nothing happened.
Yin Tianjue looked at her, couldn't help but frown, and tapped the leader Yu next to him with a paper fan, "President Yu, who is the man wearing the mask?"
"She is the new head of the Tiansha Sect." Leader Yu touched his beard on his chin and said slightly:
"Ming Yan died in a fight with Yue Qingzi not long ago, so he was put in charge of the Tiansha Sect. But I have never heard of this person. However, she should have some abilities. Otherwise, the Tiansha Sect would not be like this now.
Quiet.
I heard from spies that she demoted Elder Lin from the Tiansha Sect to the position of deputy hall leader on the first day she took office. She has not caused any riot yet, so she must be quite capable."
There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he spoke, and he sighed slightly, "If the Tiansha Sect can submit to the martial arts world, it will be a blessing to the martial arts world."
When Ming Yan was alive, he tried many times to win over him, but he did not let him wash his hands in a golden basin and return to the upright side.
I wanted to eradicate them, but I didn't have the strength. What's more, most of the people they killed were people who deserved to die. They helped the martial arts a lot, but they also killed a lot of people who didn't deserve to die.
I hope that this new sect leader can make the Tiansha Sect go on the right path. Even if it doesn't go on the right path, it's best not to go on the evil path.
"Who is she?" Yin Tianjue didn't know why, but he suddenly became interested in this person.
Leader Yu shook his head, "I don't know either. This person seems to have appeared out of thin air. I sent people to inquire many times but to no avail. I don't even know his name."
The change of ownership of the Tiansha Sect was quite important, so he would naturally send people to investigate, but to no avail.
Yin Tianjue said "Oh", glanced at Yan Qiqi again, and then turned his eyes elsewhere.
"Master, what do you want? We must participate in at least one item." Hua Liufeng asked in a low voice.
Yan Qiqi said without hesitation: "I want fifty thousand taels of gold."
Hua Liufeng trembled her lips, wondering what kind of sect leader this was, and sighed slightly: "Okay, you will have to go into battle in person at that time. Only the heads of each sect can participate in this competition."
"What, I'm participating?" Yan Qiqi's brows suddenly furrowed. Her specialty is assassination, and she is not good at combat.
What's more, the people here are good at Qinggong and have strong internal strength. Her mediocre martial arts is not enough to fill her teeth.
"Yeah." Hua Liufeng nodded and said, "Master Sect, believe in yourself. You can take out the seal from the secret room, so you are naturally very capable. Besides, you now have all the internal strength of the Master of the Underworld Sect in your body. It is naturally difficult to deal with some inferior sects.
No problem."
"Okay, let me give it a try." Yan Qiqi curled her lips and said reluctantly.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Is it possible that she, a new and extremely smart young man in the 21st century, is still afraid of these ancients?
Gold was in the last competition, so Yan Qiqi chatted with Hua Liufeng and the other four in boredom.
Well, it should be said that there were three of them. Shuishui Shang didn't say a word from beginning to end, just standing behind her like a door god.
"By the way, let me ask a question." Yan Qiqi glanced at Yin Tianjue and whispered to them.
Luyi smiled lightly and said, "Master, if you have any questions, just ask."
"That is, how much is Yin Tianjue's head worth?" A calculating light appeared in Yan Qiqi's eyes.
She had asked him the price per head before, but Yin Tianjue gave her an ambiguous answer at that time. The specific price was not known.
"Prince Rui is a prince, and the people who want to buy his head are some of the emperor's nobles and monarchs of other countries. The price is almost astronomical. However, the prices given by different buyers are also different." Hua Liufeng said quietly.
"What's the difference?" Yan Qiqi gestured for him to continue. She had already heard Yin Tianjue himself say that the price was high.
Hua Liufeng continued: "If it is sold to some royal people in this country who want to kill him, it can be sold for five hundred thousand taels of gold. If it is sold to the monarch of Feng Shang Country, it can be sold for one million taels of gold."
"Wow, his head is so valuable." Yan Qiqi was immediately shocked.
Turning to look at Yin Tianjue, there was a hint of the burning gaze of a wolf seeing a sheep in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smack his lips.
One million taels of gold. His whole body was made of gold. No, it should be more valuable than a gold man who weighed as much as him. How could he not make her heart move?
Looking at her hungry wolf-like eyes, Hua Liufeng sighed slightly, "Master, it's better not to accept his mission. The Master of the Underworld Sect asked us not to accept his mission before he was alive."
Green Yi also hurriedly said: "Not long ago, Elder Lin took over his mission without permission, and more than four hundred brothers died in total. Five sects including the Night Gate of the Poisonous Insect Cult tried their best but failed to get his head."
"Oh." Yan Qiqi shook the paper fan, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "I'd better leave his head first and wait until I have a chance to pick it up."
Not all tasks in their line of work need to be accepted, and they have to check whether they have the ability. Otherwise, it will only increase casualties and the gain will not be worth the loss.
It's just a pity. One million taels of gold, piled together, is a small mountain of gold.
When I think about the brilliant gold, I can only imagine it, and I feel very emotional.
I couldn't help but turn to Yin Tianjue again and take a few more glances. This person is a small golden mountain. You must be addicted to it.
Seeing her looking over again, Yin Tianjue couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that she fell in love with him? Of course, it wasn't because she liked him, but because of his head.
It's just that this person is not very good at pretending. His eyes are so obvious. Doesn't he take this dignified King Rui seriously?
Yin Tianjue glanced down at the table, his eyes flashing slightly, he reached for a teacup and poured a full glass of wine.
Looking at Yan Qiqi, she raised her lips and said, "I wonder what the new sect leader of Tiansha Sect should be called?"
Yan Qiqi was stunned by his sudden inquiry, then shook her paper fan and said slightly: "My surname is Yan, serious Yan, my first name is Su, serious Su."
Her voice was loud enough that many people could hear her.
The martial arts people present began to discuss and asked questions, and then they all shook their heads, indicating that they had not heard of it.
Yin Tianjue turned his eyes to the alliance leader, who shook his head, "I have never heard of anyone called serious in the martial arts world. He is probably the descendant of a reclusive master."
However, he has never heard of an outstanding figure named Yan in the martial arts world. There are too many doubts about this person, and he will have to find out more slowly in the future.
Yin Tianjue glanced at Yan Qiqi, picked up the wine glass, and said proudly: "Congratulations to Brother Yan for becoming the head of Tiansha Sect. I would like to drink a glass to Brother Yan."
As he spoke, he used his seven powers to throw the teacup towards Yan Qiqi.
She didn't need to think about it to know that she couldn't take the glass of wine with her hands and feet, otherwise her hand would definitely break off, but if she didn't take it, she wouldn't give Prince Rui face.
Yan Qiqi finally decided to dodge in order to save her little hand.
The issue of face is not hers.
Unexpectedly, the wine glass was intercepted before it reached her.
Just listen to the sound of "click--" the breaking of bones.
Shuishui Shang endured the pain in his hand, handed the tea cup to Yan Qiqi, and said coldly: "Master, please."
Looking at his bleeding hand, Yan Qiqi frowned slightly, reached out to take the wine glass, and asked worriedly: "A-Shang, is your hand okay?"
From the cracking sound just now, it is estimated that the bones in his hand must have been broken. Damn it, Yin Tianjue was so cruel.
"No problem." Shuishui Shang threw out two words and stood back to his original position like a door god.
Hua Liufeng calmly picked up his hand, clicked a few times to connect the broken bones for him, quickly applied some plaster on it, wrapped it with a cloth, and finished in one go.
Both of them had expressionless faces, without a trace of complaint.
Yan Qiqi looked at the wine glass in her hand and felt a little worried.
The most important thing now is how to drink the wine into her stomach. She is wearing a mask that covers her entire face. If she wants to drink, she must take off the mask.
Then her appearance will be exposed. She is not afraid of being exposed, because there is another layer inside, but if she takes off the mask, it will be what they want, and she will be exposed to another layer.
Now is the time for her to establish her authority in the martial arts world, and she must not compromise.
If you don't drink and don't give Prince Rui face, even though the Tiansha Sect has no relations with the imperial court, you still have to give him some face.
Yan Qiqi turned her head and glanced at the woods not far behind, and had an idea in her mind.
He said to Hua Liufeng: "Ah Feng, go and help me break off a piece of dead cane."
Hua Liufeng understood immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Master." He turned around and flew towards the forest.
Within ten seconds, Hua Liufeng brought over a dead cane.
Yan Qiqi broke off a section, inserted it into the cup, stuck the other end through the mask hole, and started sucking.
Everyone was confused by her behavior, and some people were drinking like this.
After finishing the drink, Yan Qiqi narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Prince Rui, for the wine. It tastes pretty good. I would also like to give Prince Rui a drink."
He picked up the jug and poured a full cup into the tea cup he had just finished drinking. He picked it up, squeezed it a little harder, and shot it towards Yin Tianjue.
Yin Tianjue chuckled lightly and casually reached out to take the tea cup. Unexpectedly, he just caught the tea cup.
"Crack", the cup broke into several pieces, and the wine inside spilled all over him.
Yan Qiqi shook her head and said with a hint of irony: "Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Prince Rui to be a barbarian."
But seeing Yin Tianjue's dark and handsome face, he immediately changed his mind, "Uh, sorry, slip of the tongue, I should say he is a strong man. Alas, in this world, no one wants to hear the truth."
The meaning of her words was obvious, that is, she was mocking Yin Tianjue for being a barbarian with only strength and no brains.
"It's obviously you who is on the teacup..." Shang Nan suddenly became dissatisfied and said angrily through gritted teeth.
But before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Yin Tianjue, who thought he was not embarrassed enough.
With a little exercise, the water stains on my body were wiped away.
Yan Qiqi trembled at the corner of her mouth, it was good to have internal strength.
He glanced at Yin Tianjue, stretched out his middle finger at him, and then pointed downwards - contempt.
This action of hers immediately stunned Yin Tianjue. Although he didn't understand what she meant, it was so familiar and he remembered that Yan Qiqi had stretched it out before.
I couldn't help but look at her carefully again, and then lowered my eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
Yan Qiqi ignored him and turned her attention to the competition on the field.
They would also ask from time to time, what is the price per head of so and so, and the Hua Liufeng people who made Hua Liufeng repeatedly had black marks, and even the corners of Shui Shui Shang's lips, which had always been paralyzed, couldn't help but tremble.
Within a few moments, someone would be awarded the Millennium Blood Ginseng.
Next is the Qingfeng Sword. There are many people who want this sword, and the competition is very long.
Looking at the martial arts practitioners on the field who kept showing their moves, Yan Qiqi felt bored, so she held her head and closed her eyes to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I just heard a burst of cheers. Without opening my eyes, I knew someone had obtained the Qingfeng Sword.
"Master, wake up, it's your turn." The green man smiled and patted the sleeping man.
Yan Qiqi opened her eyes and saw that it had just begun, "Wait a little longer. I will go on stage after they have all competed."
This saves effort, as she only has to compete with one person.
Most people have already participated in the competition, except for a few people who want gold and have not taken the stage.
Soon I tried them one by one, and finally there was a fat man with a fat head and big ears standing in the open space. His height was over 1.9 meters, and his weight should be around 300 kilograms.
I saw the strong man shouting: "Is there anyone who can compete with me? If I don't have these 50,000 taels of gold, it belongs to me."
No one came up. Just as he was happily going to collect the gold, a clear male voice sounded.
"Don't panic yet, I don't have a competition yet."
The man turned around, looked around with his eyes, and then discovered the little man standing next to him.
He is three or four times the size of Yan Qiqi, and standing in front of him is like a ten-year-old child standing next to an adult.
Although the strong man is strong, he is not stupid. He naturally knows that she is the master of the Tiansha Sect and does not dare to be careless for a moment.
He made a martial arts show and said, "Master Yan, please."
"No, no, no." Yan Qiqi closed the paper fan, knocked on his fist as big as an iron bowl, and said quietly: "This competition is too boring, let's change the competition."
It wasn't that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to beat this strong man, but that it was more difficult to beat him. After all, his body was full of muscles, so her hands would hurt if she couldn't beat him well.
The strong man put away his fists, frowned and asked, "How to compare?"
Yan Qiqi shook the paper fan in her hand and said casually: "Let's compete like this. You hit me once, and I hit you again. If whoever falls down first will lose, so what?"
As soon as her words came out, there was an uproar immediately. This kind of competition would undoubtedly be harmful to her.
I'm afraid a strong man's fist could knock her small body away, and the winner or loser would be obvious.
Hua Liufeng and the others also became anxious. They really wanted to go up and tell her that she couldn't do it, but there were rules in the competition, so they could only worry about it from the side.
After all, the strong man is a decent figure in the martial arts world, so he couldn't bear it. "Master Yan, this comparison is very detrimental to you. Let's compare each other one by one."
"No, let's do it like this." Yan Qiqi then took out a copper coin and said, "I will throw this copper coin into the sky later. If it shows heads, you hit me first. If not, I hit you first.
.”
The strong man immediately shook his huge hand and said, "No, please hit me first, I'll let you do it once."
Yan Qiqi twitched her lips, she didn't expect him to be very loyal to the world, but she wanted the fifty thousand taels of gold, and she couldn't lose. She was representing a sect now.
He raised his lips slightly and smiled and said: "I am the master of a sect. If I were given up by others, wouldn't it be a shame for the sect?"
After saying that, he threw the copper coin into the sky, and then fell to the ground.
She was sure that the throw would come out tails, which was a piece of cake.
The result, as she expected, was tail, and she played first.
The strong man took a horse stance in the open space, and his posture was as stable as Mount Tai.
Yan Qiqi circled around him a few times, then took a few steps back, jumped up quickly, and kicked the strong man behind the ear——
The strong man's huge body swayed for a few times, then he fell to the ground with a "boom--" and fainted.
Yan Qiqi clapped her little hands, shrugged and said, "He fainted. I won this competition."
At this time, someone couldn't stand it and stood up and shouted: "It's obviously about fists, why do you kick with your feet? It's against the rules of the game."
Yan Qiqi curled her lips and said, "I'm talking about one hit, and there's no rule saying you have to use your fists. I'm sure everyone present is not deaf."
The man was stunned immediately. She did mean to hit him once, not with fists. She had nothing to say to Yan Qiqi's shameless behavior.
"Okay, these fifty thousand taels of gold belong to me." Yan Qiqi was about to walk to her seat.
At this time, a magnetic and clear man's voice sounded, "Wait a minute! I still have no competition."
Before she finished speaking, Yin Tianjue flew up to her.
He looked at her with a half-smile but no obvious excitement in his beautiful eyes.
Is Aqi you? The things she does and the way she talks are really similar to Aqi. They all act out of common sense and are cunning and weird.
Although she is a lot taller now, it is not difficult to use this method to make people taller.
I just don’t understand how she became the head of the Tiansha Sect.
Whether it is or not, you have to test it to know.
Yan Qiqi looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but frown, "Didn't you come up with these golds? How come you have to compete? What's more, you are not a martial artist."
What does he want? A prince of a powerful country should not be short of this little gold. Maybe he doubts her.
The hands in her sleeves slowly tightened. No matter how hard she beat her to death, she couldn't admit it. She didn't want to be a slave anymore.
Yin Tianjue shook his paper fan and smiled, "I don't care about this little spare money, but I am more interested in you and want to have a challenge with you. If you can beat me, I will add another fifty thousand."
Two pieces of gold, how about it."
Yan Qiqi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, but I will decide the rules of the competition."
If she doesn't compete, it will be difficult to dispel his doubts. It's better to have a competition with him. No matter whether she wins or loses, she may still win. Then she will have one hundred thousand taels of gold.
"Okay, you have the final say." Yin Tianjue agreed without thinking.
Yan Qiqi glanced at the red carpet on the ground, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
Ask someone to bring a pen and ink and draw two very small circles on the carpet. The two circles are two arms' length apart. If you don't bend down, you can't hit each other.
"You and I each stand in a circle and fight. We can only hit the upper body. We are not allowed to use internal force. Our feet cannot leave the red carpet, and we are not allowed to leave the circle. If we go out or use internal force, we will automatically lose." Yan Qiqi explained.
Compared with his current martial arts, her current martial arts skills are like an egg against a rock. I'm afraid he can defeat her with just one finger. If he uses this method, he might still be able to win.
Yin Tianjue lowered his eyes and looked at the circle, thought for a moment, and then agreed.
The two of them each stood in a circle and started fighting.
Of course, because the distance was too far and Yan Qiqi only dodged and did not attack, Yin Tianjue could not hit her every time.
Suddenly, Yan Qiqi quickly took out a short dagger from her arms and stabbed it at Yin Tianjue who was bending down to punch her.
Yin Tianjue's handsome face suddenly darkened and he hurriedly retracted his body.
At this moment, Yan Qiqi clamped her feet on the carpet and started spinning hard, causing wrinkles on the red carpet.
Yin Tianjue was too hasty when he retracted his body, and he could not stand firmly. The blanket under his feet was lifted up again, and he fell to the ground.
If he could control his falling body, his feet would definitely leave the ground, and he would still lose.
Damn that guy! Yin Tianjue's eyes flashed, he shifted his body, and knocked his whole body towards Yan Qiqi, knocking the dagger out of her hand.
The two of them smashed into each other in such a gorgeous way. Fortunately, Yin Tianjue's body happened to be pressed against Yan Qiqi's body.
Yan Qiqi rolled her eyes as she was hit so hard that she almost lost her breath.
Damn Yin Tianjue, he looks like he has only a few ounces of meat on his body, who knew he was so heavy.
Yin Tianjue looked down at the person beneath him and reached out to take off the mask from her face, but the face that was revealed was that of a handsome, unfamiliar man.
After taking a closer look at it, it is not difficult to find that she has changed her appearance, but if you want to remove the makeup on her face, you need to use special potion, which cannot be removed.
He touched her throat again, and his hand paused for a moment.
This throat is real, connected to her skin and flesh, not a fake throat.
My heart tightened, and I quickly touched Yan Qiqi's chest.
It was flat, and the dogwood on it was so real to the touch through the two layers of cloth. Her breasts were not bound with cloth.
