On the ring, Liu Zijin and the other five were breathing heavily, and the hands holding their swords could not stop shaking. It could be seen that they had tried their best.
Wu Qingce, who was surrounded, also felt a little uncomfortable.
This time he agreed to compete with Liu Zijin and the other five in the ring at the same time. Originally, he thought that this competition would be as easy and enjoyable as before, but he did not expect that with Liu Zijin as the leader, the five sisters would form a thunder sealing formation.
, suppressing his thunder spirit energy.
This made Wu Qingce sure of one thing, that is, these five people absolutely used him as their imaginary enemy during practice.
In subsequent competitions, Liu Zijin and the others' number theory attacks also confirmed this point again and again.
Wu Qingce could even imagine these five people gathered together to discuss which one of them would be responsible for the low-end, which one would be responsible for interfering, and which one would be responsible for counterattacking when he made a certain move.
'These five people are simply here to help me find loopholes in my technique...'
After a fierce battle, although Wu Qingce still had the upper hand with absolute strength, despite the large difference in strength, Liu Zijin and the others were still able to threaten him several times, which still made Wu Qingce sweat.
.
"Thank you Wu Qinggang for your advice."
At the end of the competition, Liu Zijin and the five of them all moved towards Wu Qingce, holding their swords and cupping their hands.
"I have benefited a lot from this competition. I have thanked several junior sisters." Wu Qingce also immediately returned the gift.
After bowing to Wu Qingce again, the five sisters retreated under the ring and went to discuss with Yu Manwen. During the discussion, the five of them looked up at him from time to time, their eyes full of firm determination to defeat you next time.
.
The corners of his mouth twitched twice. Although Wu Qingce wanted to step forward and ask them why they were so persistent in defeating him, he felt that they were unlikely to tell him the truth, so he let it go. Anyway, it would be good for him to compete with the five of them.
It can be said to be a beneficial thing.
"This Wu Qingce is indeed a leader among the young disciples. If you want to defeat him, you still need to further improve your cultivation. Otherwise, you can still pose a real threat to him just by relying on tactics." Yu Manwen looked at Liu Zi.
Jin and the others said.
Liu Zijin said helplessly after hearing this: "Master, we have been practicing very hard, but Wu Qinggang's cultivation level is improving faster. Doesn't it mean that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to improve? In the case of Wu Qinggang
I didn’t see any signs of this at all.”
Yu Manwen nodded, with a rather strange expression on his face: "His growth rate is indeed a bit astonishing, and what makes him powerful is not just because he is the direct disciple of the sect master, because not all of his moves are those of the Guixin Sect.
He is from the same faction, he probably has some special adventures outside the sect."
As Yu Manwen spoke, a handsome face suddenly appeared in his mind.
'Is it really him?'
Ever since the last time she realized that when Jiang Beiran mentioned Wu Qingce, she would have an indescribable strange feeling, Yu Manwen had been paying close attention to Wu Qingce. The reason why he agreed to Liu Zijin to help them with special training and came to the ring to watch was all because
I want to further confirm this idea.
Now that he has seen Wu Qingce's strength far beyond his peers, Yu Manwen feels more and more that there must be some connection between Wu Qingce and Jiang Beiran, although there is no substantial evidence.
"Oh, Wu Qinggang is so powerful... Sister Zijin completely attracted his attention just now, but when I drew my sword, a locust stone suddenly hit my hand. I originally thought
That sword will definitely hit him." Seeing his master lost in thought, Yu Guituo said with emotion.
Yu Guimiao on the side also nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yeah, he is really strong. If he is serious, it will probably be difficult to find his Yihe enemy in Guixin Sect, right?"
After hearing this, Yu Guishui subconsciously retorted: "If senior brother finds a suitable technique, he will definitely surpass Wu Qinggang very soon!"
Yu Guimiao and Yu Guituo couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at their sister with a teasing look.
"Yes, yes, of course senior brother is the most powerful. I just forgot to add him besides senior brother. Sister, don't be angry." Yu Guimiao said with a smile.
"I...I'm not angry, I'm just correcting you." Yu Guishui said with a slight blush.
Then Yu Guimao also took Yu Guishui's arm and said: "Senior brother is of course the best in the world. This is our consensus, so we didn't put them on the same level as us young disciples when we talked. Sister, you
Don’t be impatient~”
"Why am I so anxious!" Yu Guishui glanced sideways at Yu Guituo and said.
Seeing her sister's gaffe, Yu Guifan couldn't help feeling that her senior brother's charm was too great. The three of them grew up together. She had never seen her sister care so much about someone, even talking about things that had nothing to do with him.
Whenever the topic came up, her sister would rush out to defend him. If it had been the case before, she would never have dared to imagine it.
And since the return of the Hidden Moon Sect, the tacit understanding between them has declined in a sense, because the elder sister will sit in a daze from time to time. Although she knows that the elder sister must be thinking about her senior brother, she cannot have such feelings yet.
Resonance has never happened between their sisters.
'We must help my sister defeat Wu Qinggang! Help my sister and senior brother create opportunities!'
But when Yu Guituan was teasing his sister, their words made a white light flash in Yu Manwen's mind.
'That's right! Wu Qingce is what I imagined Jiang Beiran should be like!'
From the moment he came into contact with Jiang Beiran, Yu Manwen always felt that he could not see through him at all, but he knew that he must be more than just a registered disciple as he showed.
After more and more frequent contacts, Yu Manwen discovered that Jiang Beiran could express unique opinions on everything except cultivation, and from time to time he would show abilities that surprised her, just like a treasure cave.
Usually, just when you think you've dug to the bottom, a new treasure appears.
This made Yu Manwen feel more and more that Jiang Beiran should not be so untalented only in cultivation.
Now that she heard what the Yu sisters said, she suddenly understood why she always wanted to connect Jiang Beiran and Wu Qingce.
Because everything Wu Qingce showed was exactly what Yu Manwen imagined Jiang Beiran should be like, completely crushing his peers, showing his unique and peerless talent, and astonishing everyone.
'So in my subconscious, I have always regarded Wu Qingce as Jiang Beiran's spokesperson...that's why I always pay attention to him.'
After understanding this, Yu Manwen looked at Liu Zijin who was wiping his sweat and asked: "Zijin, I haven't asked you yet, but now I'm a little curious, why are you so obsessed with defeating Wu Qinggang all of a sudden?"
Liu Zijin was stunned after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he whispered in Yu Manwen's ear: "Yes... senior brother said that as long as we become the most outstanding disciples of Guixin Sect, then... then..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Manwen understood everything instantly.
'This Bei Ran... is too cruel.'
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping Liu Zijin's forehead, Yu Manwen smiled and said, "No need to go on, I understand everything."
"Hehe..." Liu Zijin lowered his head and smiled shyly.
Looking at Liu Zijin's cute look, Yu Manwen couldn't help but poke her forehead with his finger, and then said to the others: "Okay, you go to eat first, and I will teach you how to catch Wu Qinggang in the afternoon.
weakness."
Yu Manwen did not lower his voice at all when he spoke, which made Wu Qingce, who was cleaning his sword next to him, tremble. When he turned around, he found that Protector Yu was looking at him with interest.
‘What’s going on!? Here we go again!?’
He could feel that Protector Yu's eyes were similar to those of Liu Zijin and the others, that is, although Liu Zijin and the others seemed to be targeting him, they actually just wanted to achieve another goal by defeating him.
And the same goes for Protector Yu...
‘I’ll ask Senior Brother next time, but Senior Brother, when will he come back...’
After wiping away their sweat, Liu Zijin and the others said goodbye to their master and went to the cafeteria together. They ordered a table of their favorite dishes and the five of them sat down and ate happily.
Although they still failed to defeat Wu Qinggang today, they all felt that they had seen the opportunity.
Just when they were planning to hurry up and finish their meal and immediately go to their master to practice, the conversation between two disciples at the back table reached their ears.
"Hey, did you hear something interesting?"
"What?"
"The emperor of Sheng Kingdom has stepped down."
"Oh, just do it. What does it have to do with us?"
"Guess who the new emperor is."
"No matter who he is, he can't control me anyway."
"Guess, I guarantee you won't think of it."
"You didn't even give me any reminder. Of course I wouldn't have thought of it."
"Okay, then let me give you a hint. This person is a disciple of our decent sect."
"ah!?"
"Hehe, you must be scared."
"What's going on? I remember that cultivators can't be emperors, right? Then the emperor is only in charge of the common people, so how can he let the cultivators go? Isn't it that the emperor will be able to control us cultivators in the future?"
"Hai, where are you thinking? How can the emperor control us cultivators? Let me give you another reminder. This emperor is still from our sect."
"Pfft! There is still such a thing!?"
"Now guess who it is."
"Hiss... don't worry, who can guess this?"
"It's boring, okay, then I will announce the answer. The emperor's name is Jiang Beiran, a disciple of Lanxintang, before..."
"Pfft! Cough cough...cough cough cough!"
Just when the disciple was about to talk about Jiang Beiran's deeds, Fang Qiuyao choked on the noodles she had eaten and started coughing.
All the senior brothers around him hurriedly came forward to greet him and handed him papers and handkerchiefs.
After declining one by one, Fang Qiuyao took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth. Then she quickly looked at Sister Zijin and found that her expression was equally surprised.
"I...did I hear it correctly?" Fang Qiuyao asked in a low voice.
Liu Zijin didn't answer first, but looked at the three sisters of the Yu family and found that their eyes were also widened.
"Since we all heard it correctly...then it should be."
The disciple who just talked about Jiang Beiran becoming emperor sat back on his seat after Fang Qiuyao declined the handkerchief, and gnawed on the steamed bun in a somewhat disappointed manner.
‘Go on!’
Liu Zijin and the other five shouted in their hearts at the same time.
But that person naturally couldn't hear what Liu Zijin and the others were saying, and continued to eat the buns alone.
At this time, the male disciple who had just heard half of it couldn't help but ask: "More on, why did Jiang Beiran become the emperor?"
"Good question!"
Liu Zijin and the other five praised him in their hearts at the same time.
At this time, the disciple who was eating the steamed buns came back to his senses and said: "I don't know how he became the leader. I remember that the sect leader also praised him at the previous celebration, as if he won the first place in the Go event."
"How is his cultivation?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be very strong, otherwise I wouldn't have never heard of it."
"Because you have no talent for cultivation, you were sent to be the emperor?"
"It's possible."
"Hey, how did you know about this?"
"Oh, didn't I go down the mountain for a trial two days ago? When passing by a village, I heard an old man saying that there was a new emperor in the Sheng Kingdom. He was a good emperor. As soon as he ascended the throne, he wanted to issue an almanac to the people."
"Is it a good emperor to send out an almanac?"
"You don't know? The emperor hasn't issued an almanac to the people for decades."
"How do I know this? Anyway, my family has it every year."
"Later, I curiously asked about the name of the new emperor. The old man said it was Jiang Beiran. The village chief informed him from door to door. As soon as I heard the name Jiang Beiran, I thought it sounded familiar. When I came back to inquire about it, I found that it was also called Jiang Beiran.
It’s really our clan.”
"There are such strange things... Then when did Jiang Beiran go there? It seems that the sect master has never mentioned it."
"Being an emperor is not like Wu Qinggang who broke through to become a Grand Mystic Master at the age of 20. How could he be specifically mentioned by the sect master?"
"Yes, if a disciple of the sect becomes the emperor... doesn't this mean that the sect leader thinks that he has no talent for cultivation at all, which is actually quite miserable."
"It's not that miserable. Although I can't practice, there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Wouldn't it be happy?"
"Hahaha, that's true, but after all, we are still ordinary people. It's boring, boring."
"Qiu Yao... Qiu Yao..."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Fang Qiuyao, stunned, turned back to look at Sister Zijin.
Liu Zijin came close to her ear and whispered: "Your chopsticks are about to break."
Fang Qiuyao's face turned red and she relaxed her grip.
Hearing that the two male disciples behind them quickly started chatting about other topics, the five people who had no intention of eating hurriedly left the cafeteria. Their expressions on the road were unusually solemn.
"I remember that my senior brother was still in the sect during the winter solstice. Why...why did he suddenly become the emperor?" Yu Guituo was the first to speak.
"What are the three thousand beauties they were talking about just now?" Yu Guimiao asked curiously.
After hearing this, Liu Zijin's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his breathing became even faster.
Seeing this, Fang Qiuyao tried to calm down and said, "I'm still not sure whether the matter is true or not. Let's ask Master first."
