Chapter 30: The General Assembly (2)
The next day, everyone from the Dianjing Valley also arrived. The small Fuyu Island became lively, and there was no need to say that the banquets were all priced. Although there were fewer people from the Xuanyuan Sect this year, their sect has always had a bad reputation, and they have no good feelings for them. They were so happy that they were not there this year. Young disciples from various sects gathered together, talking and laughing, but it was lively.
Today, Linglong's ability has been developed. All the disciples of the Shaoyang Sect are reserved and shy. She is the only one who is versatile and good at dancing. She quickly plays with other disciples of various sects. After asking about many new information, she calls her Miss Chu during the day, and changes her name to Linglong at night.
Xuan Ji has always admired her ability very much. When she returned to the room after dinner, Linglong sorted out the matters she had asked about the participating disciples and read them one by one to Xuan Ji. She heard that she was worse than death. She even asked whether her hair was more or less, and whether she liked to eat sour or spicy food.
"Tsk, in the end, it was the disciples of Lizegong who didn't ask. Those masked monsters avoided women like snakes and scorpions when they saw them, as if I was going to eat them!"
Linglong was so angry that she turned around and saw Yu Sifeng sitting aside, and complained to him: "You are still laughing! That's to say, Lize Palace! All the weird people are coming!"
Yu Sifeng smiled and said, "The rules in the palace are so you should not contact women casually. Besides, if you ask about those miscellaneous things, it is useless for the hairpin conference. How can people tell you the news that is really useful?"
Linglong waved the booklet in her hand and snorted, "Why is it useless! It depends on everyone's ability. I have asked all the weapons and moves they are good at!" Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly turned, she looked at Yu Sifeng with a smile, and said, "You are also from Li Zegong! Come on, how about revealing some news?"
Yu Sifeng was so amused that he could only say, "I don't know who the participants are. However, Li Zegong is good at light body skills, and his moves are strange, and he often unexpectedly. If he wants to win them, he will increase his strength in his sword moves and use a strong way to defeat them, which will surely be effective."
Linglong saw that he had been talking nonsense for a long time, but this person had always been difficult to deal with. No matter how many questions he asked, he made up his mind and would not say it. Then he would not say it until he died, so he had to give up.
Given that Xuanyuan Sect did not come this year, although there were many disciples of the appropriate age of other sects, but few had good skills. In the end, the main figures of each sect could only discuss reducing the number of people. For every ten people sent out, it was reduced from the previous sixty to forty people. In this way, the schedule was not as compact as before, and it was easier to free up time to watch the battle and observe the potential of disciples of each sect.
The first competition of the hairpin conference will begin tomorrow morning. Among the four of them, only Xuan Ji will participate. Originally, Zhong Minyan's name was, but now he is not a disciple of the Shaoyang Sect, so his name is automatically called off.
Although the person who participated was Xuan Ji, the most nervous person was Linglong. She was chatting all night long, afraid that she would lose, afraid that she would be injured, and she would want to take her to the stage by herself. Xuan Ji was about to fall asleep when she heard this, and kept nodding and nodding.
After finally waiting for her to be tired of nagging, Xuan Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to wash up and go to bed to rest when she heard someone knocking on the door. She thought Linglong was going to come over and talk about some information, and her head was three times bigger. She reluctantly rushed over to open the door, but saw Chu Lei standing outside the door.
"Dad?" Xuan Ji was stunned for a moment and hurriedly flashed, "Dad, please come in."
Chu Lei shook his head and said, "If you don't go in, just give me a few words and you should rest earlier. Although the rules of the conference allow the use of spirit beasts, your spirit beast is really amazing. I hope you don't use it. Otherwise, it will easily cause casualties."
Xuan Ji hurriedly agreed, "Okay. I didn't plan to let Tengshe on the field, and he wouldn't help me at all." He could only pull his legs.
Chu Lei said again: "Xuan Ji, you kid... I never knew you had so many special features. Not only could you use the Bengyu, but you could also collect Tengshe as a spirit beast. Now your vision should no longer be on the hairpin conference. I am not here to advise you to do your best. You must first understand that the hairpin conference is not a fight between life and death, but a competition of skills. I hope you can do your best and not make big mistakes because of impulse."
It turned out that he was afraid that Xuan Ji would be competitive and would take tough measures when he encountered an opponent who refused to admit defeat. For example, Wu Tong, last time, became the target of public criticism because he used the forbidden magic.
Xuan Ji thought he was coming to teach, but he didn't expect that he would advise him not to use ruthless tricks. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely listen to you."
Chu Lei nodded, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled slightly and said softly: "Last time at the hairpin conference, you were still a child. Daddy really didn't expect that you were the one who became a talent first. Do you still remember the troublesome behavior you had when you were a child?"
Xuan Ji's face turned red and she whispered: "What did you mention when you were a child? Dad, why did you mention it? I don't dare to be the word "Successful"."
Chu Lei sighed, turned his hand on his back, took two steps, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Ji, I had a dream on the eve of your mother giving birth to you and Linglong. A god vaguely threw the pearl over with a pearl. I saw that the pearl was dazzling, beautiful, round and cute, and I was very happy. After waking up, you and Linglong were born. Therefore, I always thought that one of you must make some achievements in the future, not an ordinary person. You were too lazy when you were a child, which made people feel troubled. Linglong was eager to learn and radical. To be honest, your mother and I always thought that Linglong would be successful, so we inevitably took more care of her since we were young and ignored you. Have you... ever blamed your father and mother in your heart?"
Xuan Ji said lightly: "If I had never complained, my father would have thought I was acting. But to be honest, I never thought of such a thing. Haha, I don't seem to have any idea about this. Dad, would you think I was careless again?"
Chu Lei sighed and said, "All people who are extremely smart always have eccentricities. He Yang once warned me like this, but I only gradually understood it in recent years. Xuan Ji, do you... ever think that there is something unique about yourself?"
Xuan Ji was shocked and thought that he knew his identity in his previous life, and his heart was in chaos for a moment. If they all knew, would they reject her? Treat her as a monster? From then on, they would be separated and ignore her again?
Chu Lei said again: "I saw that you were very skillful in using Beng Yu and conquered the divine beasts. I guess there was something extraordinary. Although Dad watched you grow up, he didn't know anything about you at all."
He turned around and saw Xuan Ji's faces intertwined with white faces. After a while, she trembled: "I...I'm no different...I'm the same as everyone..."
Chu Lei smiled and said, "You kid, do you still have to hide something from your father?"
Xuan Ji said anxiously: "No! It's really no different!"
Chu Lei patted her shoulder to show comfort, and said warmly: "Forget it. You should rest early. You have to draw numbers tomorrow morning, don't delay it." He turned around and walked away slowly. Xuan Ji stared at his back blankly, and suddenly hugged his head and grabbed it hard. He asked this, how could she fall asleep?! Daddy! Did he find something? Shouldn't she bring Tengshe? Or shouldn't she use Bengyu?
She thought about it all night until the morning light was slightly exposed outside the window, and she fell asleep very tired. Before she could sleep for a while, she was pushed up by the excited Linglong to wash up, her eyes were dizzy and she quickly drew her number.
The martial arts venue was already full of people, and Dongfang Qingqi finally canceled the order that the idle people were not allowed to go to the island at will, and asked the disciples to record the names and sects one by one and take them to Fuyu Island in batches. Therefore, before the conference officially began, the martial arts venue was already crowded.
With the old rules, Dongfang Qingqi said a series of scenes, followed by the four corners of Kuipi drums and pounded them. Forty participants began to draw numbers from the box, and then went to Ronggu Master to register the numbers.
Xuan Ji resisted the urge to yawn, pulled out a piece of paper, and opened it and looked: "Ding Mao." She handed the paper to Chu Yinghong. She looked at it and confirmed it was correct. Then, let Lord Rong write it on the booklet. Seeing Xuan Ji's eyes red and looking very tired, Chu Yinghong couldn't help but say lightly: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xuan Ji shook her head, and before she could speak, she suddenly heard someone behind her whisper: "Bingyin."
The first competition of the hairpin flower conference was arranged according to the number. Jiazi and Yichou competed, Bingyin and Dingmao competed, and the following were in sequence. When Xuan Ji heard his opponent appear, he looked back subconsciously and saw a blue shirt. The man was tall and handsome, and he was the eldest brother Du Minxing.
"Ah, senior brother!" Xuan Ji didn't know whether she should be glad or depressed, why did she have sex with her own people in the first game? Then should she win against him? Or should she not release the true fire of Samadhi, give in to him, and help him win the first game?
Du Minxing turned around and smiled at her, and said softly: "My opponent is actually the junior sister, I really didn't expect it."
Xuan Ji murmured, "Senior Brother, please give me...you, don't really let me go."
This was so childish that everyone around him laughed. Du Minxing also smiled and said, "There is no relatives in the martial arts competition, so don't give in to me." As he said that, he patted her head lightly, turned around and left.
Xuan Ji couldn't help but chase after him and said lightly: "Senior Brother, why have you ignored me recently? Did I unhappy you with something?"
Du Minxing lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said softly: "How could it be? Senior Brother has just left the seclusion, and you have just returned to Shaoyang Peak, and you just didn't have a chance to meet him." After that, he suddenly turned his head and looked up the huge wooden building behind him. In the crowd, Yu Sifeng was quite conspicuous, and Fengshen's handsome appearance made many women blush. But he only looked at Xuan Ji with a smile. Du Minxing lowered his eyelashes and said: "You have grown up, and you don't need the senior brother to take care of you like you were when you were a child. There are better people to worry about you."
This was very mysterious. Xuan Ji didn't know how to touch it, so she could only stare at him walking away.
On the wooden building, Linglong shouted loudly: "Xuan Ji! Come on! Let's cheer you up! Don't lose!" Xuan Ji turned around and waved to them, and suddenly heard Elder Dianjing Gu Hengsong say loudly: "The hairpin flower conference begins. Jiazi, Yichou, go to the east ring. Bingyin, Dingmao, go to the west ring..."
When Xuan Ji heard that he had reported to him, he immediately cheered up and rose up with his sword, like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he rose to the huge stone pillar in the west. Du Minxing had already stood opposite him, and next to him was Elder Song, the finishing touch of the competition.
The huge stone platform is a hundred feet high, and clouds fill the top of the head, as if you can pick it up with your hand. Xuan Ji's hair and clothes were twisted and turned by the wind, making a sound, leaning against the edge of the platform, like a lotus dancing with the wind, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
That kind of soft and beautiful appearance pierced Du Minxing's eyes like a needle. He finally couldn't help but silence, and felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. The scenes of her childhood flowed through his mind. Only for a moment did he neglect her, but from then on he completely lost her and could not go back to anything. The girl who pulled her sleeves and acted coquettishly and called her senior brother softly was really lost.
Master Song said loudly: "Listen to my orders - the competition begins!"
