Parents work hard to raise a child who is crying for food, so children need to support their parents.
A businessman travels across mountains and rivers to transport things from one place to another, so he can make a profit from it.
The martial artist has devoted himself to martial arts and practiced hard for ten years and hundreds of years, so he can have a heaven-reaching cultivation level.
The world is like this, if you want something, you have to exchange it for something else.
Bai Sushui said that if she wanted her to give up her intention of marrying Bai Zhiluo to Qin Huaiyi, then Bai Zhiluo would have to show a strong enough talent, and this talent would need to match the benefits of marrying into the Qin family.
That's fair, in every sense of the word.
But Bai Zhiluo had difficulty understanding her mother's logic, but it was obvious that she had no way to convince her.
Bai Zhiluo was very sad. She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, and of course these people included Wang Xiaoxiao.
She once thought that the other party was just a pretty good guy, at least in a smoky place like Dafengyuan, he could be regarded as out of the mud.
But Wang Xiaoxiao failed her.
That day, she was forced by her mother to marry Qin Huaiyi, but Li Danqing suddenly proposed marriage to Wang Xiaoxiao. In Bai Zhiluo's view, such behavior was nothing more than taking advantage of the situation. She was being sold as a commodity, and Li Danqing took out a
The true fire of Lieyang gave up my mother's plan to sell it.
Of course she understood that the suspension of the marriage was not because of Bai Sushui's conscience, but simply because he wanted to wait for a price.
And just as she thought, after the banquet, Bai Sushui kept mentioning similar words for many days in the following days - if she wanted to give up the idea of marrying herself to someone else, Bai Zhiluo would have to take it.
Come up with a strong enough talent.
But most of the time, talent is determined from the moment of birth, and Bai Zhiluo doesn't think she can reach the level her mother requires.
She was desperate, and at this moment Wang Xiaoxiao happened to come looking for her.
Wang Xiaoxiao always came to look for her these days, and she was not too willing to pay attention to him. She thought there was no difference between Wang Xiaoxiao and Qin Huaiyi.
One relies on his father, the governor of Yingshui County, and the other relies on Li Danqing, who has a long history of evil.
Bai Zhiluo scolded him and told him to go away, but this guy was dull and just came to her on time every day with food. If he saw that she didn't eat, he would find other ways to make other food for her until she ate.
Bai Zhiluo, who was depressed, did not chase him away this time. Instead, she asked him for a bottle of wine. The guy ran for several miles and brought her back a bottle of wine.
, Bai Zhiluo told Wang Xiaoluo about this matter, but who knew that this naive guy actually slapped his chest and said that he could help Bai Zhiluo.
Bai Zhiluo naturally didn't believe him until Wang Xiaoxiao gave her a True Sun Fire in front of her...
That is, after that day, she suddenly felt that her mother's attitude towards her had changed. She began to care about her life, but never mentioned the marriage.
She said: "Li Danqing can't pass the bet, and Qin Huaiyi doesn't need to pay attention to it for the time being."
Bai Zhiluo was very happy, although she was a little confused about her mother's determination. After all, she was in Xue Yun at that time.
After crippling Hu Quan, who was deliberately making things difficult, the disciples of Dafengyuan ascended the rankings at an unbeatable speed.
But these are not important. What is important is that she finally got rid of the troubles she had been having and regained her mother's approval.
Of course she is very grateful to Wang Xiaoxiao, who has been taking good care of Wang Xiaoxiao, who is very weak due to forcing out the true fire of the blazing sun, until today.
…
Li Danqing looked at her as he looked at a robber or a thief.
He said: "His true sun fire...is gone."
Bai Zhiluo was startled. She turned back to look at her mother, only to see a smile on her face.
It was a smile that had everything under control. That smile made Bai Zhiluo suddenly realize something...
…
Lu Ran frowned and looked at the clumsy guy in front of her. Her mood fluctuated like a pinball.
From being wary at the beginning, to gradually becoming more relaxed, and now full of doubts.
The guy in front of me didn't seem to be from the same world as those disciples of Dafengyuan who were killing everyone a few days ago.
His moves were clumsy and his attacks were slow. Until now, except for a symbolic attempt to swing the sword, the opponent was just holding the sword in defense.
It's just that even in defense, he did it ridiculously. From beginning to end, he didn't even stop half of her attacks, but was constantly deceived by some of her very simple feints.
Lu Ran counted them carefully and found that she had made nine cuts on the other party's body. Each wound was not too deep, but it was painful enough.
Lu Ran thought that since they were from the same sect after all, there was no need to fight to the death, and the other party should also understand that if he could cut so many wounds on his body, he would be able to cut more and more fatal wounds.
It's just that this guy seems to be not only extremely poor in cultivation, but also extremely stupid in his brain.
He was still looking at her vigilantly while holding the sword, but he had no intention of admitting defeat, even though the blood flowing from those wounds had dyed the ground under his feet red, even though the hand holding the sword had begun to tremble.
"I said...it's time to admit defeat." Lu Ran turned the dagger in his hand and asked softly.
Wang Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his right cheek and said in a muffled voice: "I...I can still fight! I haven't lost yet!"
His persistence was not recognized by everyone present. The spectators in the audience frowned, secretly feeling that Wang Xiaoxiao was too ignorant. Lu Ran had already done his best, but this guy still refused to admit defeat.
Lu Ran's brows also wrinkled. At that time, her body rushed out again and went straight towards Wang Xiaoxiao. Wang Xiaoxiao raised his sword and tried to block it, but the result was the same as every time before. His left leg was cut open.
The wound, but when he reacted, Lu Ran retreated several feet away.
Perhaps because of the anger in his heart, Lu Ran cut the wound deeper this time, and blood flowed out. The huge pain made Wang Xiaoxiao almost unable to stand up straight.
"Is this enough?" Lu Ran asked.
"I..." Cold sweat broke out on Wang Xiaoxiao's forehead. He gritted his teeth and stood up despite the severe pain. From his perspective, it seemed that as long as he could stand up, he would not be considered a loser.
"I can still fight!"
Lu Ran was a little impatient, and her figure flashed again
, another cut was made on Wang Xiaoxiao's right leg.
Wang Xiaoxiao staggered and almost fell to the ground, but at the last moment, he struck the ground with his sword and forced himself to steady himself.
"I can fight!" he said, his voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
"Do you know that I can defeat you at any time? Even kill you! What's the point of fighting? You can't even fight back, how can you still win?" Lu Ran frowned and asked in an unhappy tone.
"But..." Of course Wang Xiaoxiao knew that what the other party said was correct. He turned his head and looked at the disciples of Dafeng Academy under the stage, and then looked at Li Danqing with a calm face.
"But I don't want to lose..."
"Dafengyuan is my home... I lost..."
"I don't have a home anymore..."
As he said this, his other hand stretched out, grasped the hilt of the sword, and stood up straight relying on the strength of the sword.
Lu Ran's frown deepened, and she said: "But this has nothing to do with me! No one has the obligation to show mercy to you! In a competition, as long as you lose, you will win. If you can't win, you have to lose."
Wang Xiaoxiao did not speak, but slowly lifted the sword that was on the ground. His body was swaying, and it was extremely difficult to move even one step.
But he still did it, and he staggered towards Lu Ran.
Every step is difficult, and every step may cause you to fall to the ground.
But he still tried to walk.
The expression on Lu Ran's face became more and more confused. She didn't understand what Wang Xiaoxiao was going to do.
Until Wang Xiaoxiao came to her, then this naive guy raised the sword in his hand and slashed at her.
Only then did she come to her senses, this guy wanted to defeat her.
But the sword blade that came back slowly looked so ridiculous.
She slapped her palm, and Wang Xiao's body suddenly took a few steps back, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Huge pain hit, making Wang Xiaoxiao grimace in pain, but he still tried to stand up after that, but at this time Lu Ran, who had already lost his patience, suddenly took a step forward and stepped on his chest, knocking him down.
Wang Xiaoxiao was pinned to the ground while trying to stand up.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Do you think you're amazing?"
"Look at the people around you, they only think you are a clown! It's a joke! Give up!"
Lu Ran said somewhat angrily.
Wang Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at Lu Ran with difficulty, and said, "Didn't you say that if you don't win, you will lose?"
"I..."
"I don't want to lose..."
"We can only win..."
Wang Xiaoxiao was obviously extremely weak, so that every word he spoke was intermittently, and even so, while he was talking, he kept groping on the ground with one hand, trying to pick up the handful that had fallen aside.
sword.
"You are simply unreasonable!" Lu Ran said angrily, his face turning red.
