Chapter 167 Tianshuang Pavilion, Gao Qi, the young master of Ba Dao Valley
"Master Gao, please wait a moment."
The disciple who handed out the tokens from the Frost Pavilion that day took the tokens and seals from Gao Qi's hand very solemnly, and then carefully placed them on the spiritual mirror.
"It's time to work."
Gao Qi nodded with great satisfaction.
The reason why he is so high-profile is not just because of his flamboyant personality. Another reason is that he wants to use his identity as Ba Dao Valley to fend off a group of challengers.
"Those who pose the greatest threat to me, after knowing the identity of my overbearing sect's young master, will at least not oppose me in this round of the challenge."
Gao Qi murmured thoughtfully.
…
"Sir, I always feel that Gao Qi's provocation to us just now was not accidental."
Under the ring, after hearing the surrounding discussions about Gao Qi, Nan Xing suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a wary expression and said to him...??.
"But it seems that we have never had any interaction with Ba Dao Valley?"
Xu Taiping was very confused.
"No matter what, sir, we'd better be more careful."
Although Nan Xing couldn't figure it out, he still reminded Xu Taiping.
"Well, I will always keep an eye on him."
Xu Taiping nodded.
When he said this, the Xuanyuan clone he placed among the crowd was quietly approaching Gao Qi.
When he came in, he had already released Xuanyuan's clone to prepare for any eventuality.
Now it is just used to monitor Gao Qi.
"Fellow knights, please be quiet, be quiet!"
At this moment, an elder from Tianshuang Pavilion stood on the ring and shouted to everyone.
With this sound, everyone, including Xu Taiping, fell silent and looked towards the stage.
"Thank you."
Seeing this, the elder of Tianshuang Pavilion immediately handed over his hands and thanked him, and then continued to announce loudly:
:
"Due to the large number of people participating in this challenge, we will conduct a trial round before the martial arts contest begins."
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar around the arena.
This uproar was obviously expected by the elder of Tianshuang Pavilion, so he just smiled and waited until the discussion subsided, and then continued:
"Don't worry, everyone, the rules of this round of competition are very simple. Just choose one of the knights who got the pass token as your opponent, and just catch him and try."
As soon as this statement came out, the dissatisfied voices of the people immediately became much quieter.
"Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time that the elder finished reading out the rules, he had been monitoring Gao Qi's Xuanyuan clone, and saw Gao Qi suddenly jump up and go directly to the ring.
"My elder, my time is limited. This round of competition will start with me, Gao Qi."
Gao Qi raised his hands to the elder of Tianshuang Pavilion.
Seeing Gao Qi come on stage without informing him, the elder was a little unhappy at first, but after seeing Gao Qi's appearance and the badge of Ba Dao Gu on his waist, the dissatisfied look on his face immediately disappeared.
Make a charitable smile.
"Young Master Gao is right. Time is pressing, so let's start with you first."
He nodded repeatedly.
Ba Dao Gu has made preparations at Tianshuang Pavilion in advance this time, so the elder also recognizes Gao Qi and will naturally not embarrass him.
In addition, this round of competition before the official competition to recruit a bride was originally intended to weed out some incompetent people who are just looking at others. The rules of the competition do not need to be too strict.
As long as he can successfully screen out half of the people, his mission will be considered completed.
"Thank you, elder."
Gao Qiu once again handed over to the elder.
.
Although there were a few boos here and there, in the end no one spoke up to refute, so the elders of Shuang Pavilion were completely relieved that day.
When Xu Taiping and Nan Xing saw this, they first looked at each other, and then heard Nan Xing say:
"Sir, it's possible that Gao Qi knew about this in advance, so he has been secretly observing the place where the pass tokens are issued, and picked an opponent that he found easy."
"It's very possible." Xu Taiping smiled bitterly, "He must have seen our reputation as a member of the Iron Sword Gang and thought that we are from a small sect and are easy to deal with."
He had never calculated that this inconspicuous identity he had specially chosen would actually bring about a disaster for him.
"Is it possible that the bad luck brought about by my fellow Taoists and Buddhists has now appeared?"
He thought this in his heart somewhat amusingly.
"Elder, I have already chosen my opponent."
At this time, the voice of Gao Qi, the young master of Ba Dao Valley, came from the ring again.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Gao Qi again.
"Mr. Gao, I wonder which opponent you have chosen?"
The elder of Tianshuang Pavilion immediately asked.
Hearing this, Gao Qi's eyes scanned the crowd around the arena below, and finally landed on Xu Taiping as expected.
Then the corners of his mouth raised, he raised his hand and pointed at Xu Taiping and said:
"I want to challenge Iron Sword Sect disciple Song Xian!"
The name Song Xian was the pseudonym Xu Taiping used to participate in this competition to recruit his bride.
"Son."
Nan Xing looked at Xu Taiping with some worry.
"It's okay. If you fight against Gao Qi, you won't be exposed too much."
Xu Taiping smiled slightly and shook his head.<

"Is Song Xian of Iron Knife Sect in the audience?"
While the two were talking, the elder of Shuangge suddenly asked loudly that day.
"exist!"
Xu Taiping raised a hand at this time, and then strode towards the ring.
Naturally, he was not afraid of fighting with Gao Qi. He was just worried that he would expose too many of his tricks before challenging Tianshuangge Siyou and others.
"If you want not to expose too much, you have to end this competition as soon as possible."
While Xu Taiping was thinking this, he jumped up and landed firmly on the ring.
"Master Song is so skilled!"
Seeing Xu Taiping come on stage, Gao Qi suddenly clapped his hands and praised him.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gao Qi is actually speaking sarcastically.
"Where, where, Mr. Gao, you are so complimentary."
Xu Taiping didn't seem to hear it, and he smiled at Gao Qi and cupped his hands.
When everyone below heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They all looked at Xu Taiping as if they were looking at a fool.
"You two, the rules of this competition are very simple. Whoever falls to the ground or falls off the ring loses."
The elder of Tianshuang Pavilion briefly introduced the rules of the competition to the two of them.
"Thank you."
Both of them clasped their fists towards the elder.
The elder returned the gesture with a fist, and then retreated to the edge of the ring, indicating that the two of them could start competing.
"Mr. Song, the sword has no eyes. If I get hurt somewhere later, I hope you will forgive me."
Gao Qiu put his hand on the long knife at his waist and looked at Xu Taiping who was retreating to the edge of the ring with a smile.
When Xu Taiping heard this, he stood still first, then put his hand on the long knife at his waist and said:
