Chapter 125 Wow, this blood...

What did Gui Taoran say to Ning Mingmei before going on the court?

The system said: "I originally thought that you would take the initiative to brainwash Gui Taoran."

Ning Mingmei looked at the young man on the field with focused eyes.

"No, it was Gui Taoran who came to me himself." Ning Mingmei said, "He told me that he was very worried and scared, and felt that he might not be able to defeat the opponent. His cultivation level was all raised by the medicine from Minghua Valley, and he was able to become a Jindan cultivator - even though his own ability was very poor. As long as the appearance of cultivation is good, who cares about the inside?"

The system said: "But you told him directly..."

"You don't have to work hard. Just help Lao Wu finish his tricks, and then you can leave." Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses. "I told you, right? I'm not a junior high school class teacher. Why waste my energy? Besides..."

"Sometimes, when a person goes to another person to complain, it is not to solve the problem or get help, but to make excuses."

"In that case, we might as well fulfill his wish."

"I told him that he didn't have to win the match, but just lose beautifully. Isn't that exactly what he wanted?" Ning Mingmei said, "And it just so happens that his opponent is Zheng Yinshang. Although Zheng Yinshang is much stronger than Gui Taoran, they are both playboys and have a lot in common. In order to arrange for him to fight with an old acquaintance, I sent a lot of milk tea to the elders of Mingwu Peak."

This is a performance arranged by Ning Mingmei that is highly commercial and optimal.

This is very ambiguous.

…

But why are you still watching his games?

What are you looking forward to?

The system was a little confused at that moment. It was as if Ning Mingmei had arranged everything rationally, calculated the fallback for each step, and placed Gui Taoran on this perfect stage. The final result was what Ning Mingmei had calculated and wanted. But Ning Mingmei, who has always been good at planning, is now seeking a change.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in the system's heart. It was a little alert, a little happy, but also vaguely... fearful.

It seemed that after Wen Siheng said those words to Ning Mingmei, Ning Mingmei had changed slightly.

Or, like a stubborn fruit, it finally cracked into a tiny crack.

The chaos of his past life did not change him, the tragedy of Wangyue Town did not move him, and the dark clouds in Yedi would not make him deviate from his path. Facing the questioning of Master Wukong, Ning Mingmei did not change his plan in the slightest.

He walked firmly, arrogantly, and sarcasticly on a road so lonely that he could only see his own shadow, using efficient means more skillfully than anyone else. All misery can be used by him, all darkness is within his arrangement, all living beings and things are in chaos and darkness, but because they are just the entanglement of desires and interests, they are crawling at the bottom of cognition. Nothing can be higher than the chess piece in Ning Mingmei's hand, which is as high as a tower.

He used such a perfect method from a high vantage point that it seemed that nothing could surpass it. But at this moment, he actually seemed to be expecting some unexpected event to happen in his plan.

The system quietly looked at Ning Mingmei's profile. Among tens of thousands of people, Ning Mingmei was still looking at the stage casually, his eyes unmoved and calm.

At this moment, Qi Miancheng was also looking at Ning Mingmei.

…

When the first bell rang, there was silence. Lao Wu stood in the audience with his hands folded and frowned.

"Third Brother's posture is very good. He only needs to spit out blood within thirty moves. The eldest brother has even prepared a blood bag for him." Old Seventeen whispered beside Old Five, "Fifth Brother, don't worry."

"That's right. Third Senior Brother is from Minghua Valley. If he gets hurt, we won't be able to explain. It doesn't matter if Third Senior Brother loses." The Twelveth Elder said, "The opponent is Zheng Yinshang from Yanyun Tower. He is familiar with Third Senior Brother and will be very friendly."

As he said this, he looked across. A few disciples from the Yanyun Tower who had become friends with them were also winking at them.

Lu Youyu gestured with his mouth: "Lao Gui performed quite well today."

Fan Juntian "said": "Don't worry, it's okay. Old Zheng knows his limits and will make sure that Old Gui finishes her lines and leaves the stage beautifully."

Yu Niao also nodded to them and gave them a thumbs up.

In all the games during this period, no game has ever started as well as today. The disciples of Piaomiao Peak have more or less encountered various obstacles in the process of advertising and establishing their personalities. For example, Lao Shiyi’s popularity plummeted because in a game, he was beaten away by the angry old lady from Yanyun Tower before he even finished his lines.

This is the first time that the opponent is an acquaintance and we have cooperated so well. Even if it was a pig lying on the stage, it couldn't lose at this moment.

This is enough to show how well Ning Mingmei arranged Gui Taoran.

Zheng Yinshang stood opposite the third brother with a bell in his hand, and secretly winked at him while no one was paying attention.

Standing opposite the third brother was Zheng Yinshang, who was holding a bell and was rescued by Ning Mingmei in Yaochuan City.

The young man was tall and slender, with red and white ribbons flying around his wrists. When the bell rang, he didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he took advantage of no one's attention and made lip syncing calls to Gui Taoran.

Does it mean "I'll cooperate with you"?

The remaining few worried disciples of Piaomiao Peak also breathed a sigh of relief.

"And the external effect is very good, just as we expected." Fifteen said.

Sure enough, the onlookers were going crazy over this new character that appeared for the first time.

"The osmanthus flowers bloom for only one month, and then they scatter like shooting stars... What kind of beautiful boy is this who is as fleeting as a shooting star?"

"Why is osmanthus yellow? Because it is engraved with the color of shooting stars."

"Wait, the third and fifth must be a couple, right? Look at the fifth, the way he looks at the third, he looks so sad!"

"What kind of fleeting white moonlight plot is this."

"Fifth Senior Brother." Old Seventeen quietly poked Old Five, "Your acting was pretty good today. I've never seen your acting so good before."

This is truly the right time, the right place, and the right people.

But Old Seventeen didn't know that the frown on Old Five's face at this moment was real.

These disciples of Piao Miao Peak are young and joined much later than the fifth brother, so they don’t know the third brother well. They saw the third brother lowering his head and thought he was just acting.

But the fifth brother is more familiar with the third brother.

The third senior brother has always been the one who loves to laugh the most.

But today, as he held the sword, he was so worried that he couldn't even laugh.

"Is this also part of your performance?" This was Zheng Yinshang's reaction.

He waited for Gui Taoran to strike a pose, and finally waited until Gui Taoran looked up at the sky, then he took out his weapon and improvised: "The wind is blowing, and we pass by in the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance... At this moment, are you looking at the sky of Qingji Sect or the sky of Minghua Valley?"

Although Gui Taoran's expression was a little too sad, he still looked at him with an indescribable expression: ...

Zheng Yinshang: Humph, you’ve never seen a performance like this one from me, right?

"I... at this moment, what's the difference between the two sides of the sky? In two months, the osmanthus flowers will bloom." Gui Taoran finally recited the lines.

But it's a bit forced, one card per meal.

Zheng Yinshang: "Oh? Really? In the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, we passed by each other, those flowers and water separated by darkness... Your standing posture was also like sweet-scented osmanthus. It's a pity that I saw you on the court."

Gui Taoran: …

Zheng Yinshang: "Falling flowers are also a kind of beauty. I will watch the moment you wither carefully."

Zheng Yinshang was screaming with excitement in his heart.

Ahhhh! He had long wanted to cooperate with Piaomiao Peak's wonderful performance, and today he finally got the opportunity.

In order to design his own classic lines, Zheng Yinshang wrote two small notebooks!

However, the disciples of Yanyun Tower who were sitting next to them said: …

Lu Youyu: "Is it too late to say you don't know this person now?"

Yu Niao: "Really? If you don't know how to write the lines, don't add any scenes."

Song Mingke, who was the most thin-skinned, had already lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. Fan Juntian next to him was patting him on the back.

But it is obvious that some viewers have not tasted this Mary Sue, nor have they experienced the light pollution scene of flying cherry blossoms and feathers, so they covered their faces.

"Oh no, this feeling of my heart beating non-stop...but I dare not open my eyes to look."

"It's the first time I've felt this way. My toes just can't stop moving."

Gui Ruoxue in the stands: …

The cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage looked at Ning Mingmei with his eyes turning white.

Is this also part of your plan?

Ning Mingmei: "Ah, isn't this great?"

Very good, you head.

What the audience said should be the feeling of embarrassment, right?

After Zheng Yinshang finished speaking, he went up holding the bell. As the two passed each other, Zheng Yinsong said to Gui Taoran in a voice that the audience could not hear: "Give me some clues about when you are going to lose and when you want to leave. I am afraid that I will forget to ask you to finish your lines because I am too excited."

Gui Taoran didn't move. Zheng Yinshang thought he was nervous, so he passed by him again and repeated it in a low voice.

This time, he saw Gui Taoran nodded slightly.

Only then did Zheng Yinshang feel relieved.

Zheng Yinshang is a man with a background, and everyone in Yanyun Tower knows this. He was not ashamed of this - after all, he was still practicing and doing things occasionally. If there was any essential difference between him and the other disciples of Yanyun Tower, it was that he was more dissolute, self-centered, arrogant, and liked novelty, adventure, and seeking death.

Otherwise, he and Yu Niao would not have fallen into Wang Sheng's hands.

Therefore, Zheng Yinshang also likes to make friends - especially in Piaomiao Peak of Qingji Sect, which has brought him so much freshness. The eighteen disciples of Piaomiao Peak were all busy and had no time to pay attention to him. So the person who had the best relationship with him was Gui Taoran.

Zheng Yinshang is a playboy, and Gui Taoran is also a playboy - even if Gui Taoran's character is not "arrogant and domineering" enough, Gui Taoran also has the ability and capital to be a playboy. The two people seemed to have similar interests. After hearing that Gui Taoran was worried about the competition, Zheng Yinshang, who was shopping with a few disciples, was thinking about giving him some help.

Although there was one thing that made Zheng Yinshang feel a little uneasy: Gui Taoran did not tell him that he was worried about the competition. It was unbelievable to him that Gui Taoran would be troubled by this matter - everyone knew that Gui Taoran only liked to eat, drink and have fun? When Zheng Yinshang took Gui Taoran down the mountain to find snacks, Gui Taoran looked very happy and did not feel guilty at all for overdue homework.

But Zheng Yinshang felt that he had a very broad mind. Good brothers won't mind such a small secret. He graciously forgave him.

Therefore, when Zheng Yinshang learned that his opponent in the first match was Gui Taoran, he was very happy.

What is the right time, the right place and the right people? This is the right time, the right place and the right people. Isn't it time to help my brother? This perfect performance should be regarded as a gift from him to his good brother Gui Taoran and a thank-you gift to his savior Master Ning!

Zheng Yinshang believes that everyone is looking forward to this.

After Gui Taoran nodded, Zheng Yinshang fought with him a few more times. With the cooperation of Zheng Yinshang, the two fought perfectly. The ribbons and hems of clothes are flying, the sword lights and sounds are dancing.

Everyone was amazed by this.

“What a beautiful game…”

"This feeling can only be described by the word 'beautiful'!"

Jiang Ying is now a loyal audience of Piaomiao Peak competitions. Since there were always beauties to see, she would always arrive on time with her disciples.

But this time, she actually took out her ten developing stones and distributed them to her disciples: "Quick, go and take pictures of them from different angles."

Qingxue Peak disciple: "...Master?"

Jiang Ying: "Hurry up and go. Although there is nothing commendable in terms of technique... this is the most beautiful fight I have seen in a while!"

What’s the problem if I don’t have much cultivation or technical skills? Isn’t it enough if it looks good?

There were actually many cultivators who had the same thought as Jiang Ying, and their number was extremely large. They all took out their own developing stones, recorded today's fight, and posted it on their own non-thinking books.

One person, ten people, a hundred people... There are already a lot of people here, and the competition is already halfway through. Logically, no one else will enter. But what no one expected was that countless disciples left the competition venues where they were originally staying and came together to watch the performance!

After all, when one person acts, how can it be as beautiful as when two people cooperate with each other in "acting", and full of famous lines!

"...It's hard to imagine." The disciples around Xu Changze exclaimed, "Gui Taoran's status in Qingji Sect... This match, whether he wins or loses, will make him stand out!"

The other disciples of Minghua Valley were as shocked as he was, and even began to worry - Gui Taoran's status in Qingji Sect was completely different from what they had imagined!

The Anhua disciples felt a sense of crisis. But what they didn't expect was that the expression of Xu Changze, who was sitting among them, gradually calmed down.

Before the competition started, there was still a hint of nervousness in Xu Changze's eyes.

He watched the performance on the stage, tapping the beat with his toes, looking relaxed, and even smiled as they moved: "Why are you in such a hurry? Look, they are really good at performing."

"But, if Gui Taoran is like this... won't it make Minghua famous in Qingji Sect?" said a disciple.

"Really? That depends on what kind of 'statement' it is." Xu Changze said casually, "Originally, I was extremely wary of that man. Not only because of what he did now, but also because I couldn't predict what he would do in the future."

The first “所為” refers to the “為” of behavior. The second “所為” is for the purpose of doing it.

"But now it seems that what he wants is terrible, but it's nothing more than that." Xu Changze said, "This competition looks gorgeous and everyone likes it, but it's just a show - a show that is carried out step by step. The person on the field is Gui Taoran, Zheng Yinshang, or someone else, it doesn't make any difference. What they think on the competition stage will not cause any changes. Even if you are put on it now, this fight will still be just as good. It is this fact that makes me feel at ease."

The Dark Flower disciple still didn't understand: "Elder, I still don't quite understand."

"If you understand, this matter will be troublesome."

This sentence seemed to be a casual remark, but it gave the disciple an inexplicable chill. He looked at Xu Changze in panic, but he didn't know why he was panicked.

Xu Changze had a smile on his face, and the thin middle-aged man had no intention of explaining to his disciples. He said: "In this world, the fewer people who understand these things, the better. The fewer people who understand, the more peaceful the world will be."

"It's okay to let them get some benefits. Besides, it seems that Ning Mingmei is someone we can cooperate with." Xu Changze said, "After all, for him, it doesn't matter who is on the stage. The people who cooperate with him can be Gui Taoran, Minghua, or us."

Amid Xu Changze's nonchalant judgment, only Bailixi looked in the direction of Ning Mingmei again.

This feeling is so weird.

Baimian thought that he hated the big sects. In the past, when he faced those disciples from large sects whom he met by chance, he was decisive and never showed mercy.

But what Xu Changze said today made him feel vaguely agitated, and disgust was eating away at him like a cancer on his bones.

He knew clearly that the young men on the stage were lackeys of the big sects, and he also knew clearly that everything Ning Mingmei did was to help him infiltrate.

But he still felt indignant about Xu Changze's words for unknown reasons.

He pursed his lips with a complicated expression.

…

Gui Ruoxue watched the "performance match" on the stage, listened to the discussion below, and said to Ning Mingmei, "It seems that your plan has been perfectly successful once again."

One stick of incense's time ago, everyone was worried about Gui Taoran. People outside were worried that he would lose, and people inside were worried that he would not lose gracefully.

After all, his cultivation and acting skills are average.

But Zheng Yinshang's joining undoubtedly injected fresh blood into this competition. One person's performance turned into a dance for two people. With the cooperation of both people, this competition was more exciting and beautiful than the previous ones.

Gui Ruoxue had not watched the previous games. But from the mouths of the crowd, he could learn that the performance of this game was far superior to other games.

What happens on the battlefield is not a life-and-death struggle, but a full display of the fashion sense of both sides. Sword cultivation and music cultivation, one is hard and the other is soft, so people with different preferences can find the style they like better. For example, a pair of young siblings from a noble family not far away were arguing about which sect they wanted to join.

Gui Ruoxue suddenly thought of Lu Mengqing again.

Lu Mengqing has been competitive since he was young. After becoming the head of Yanyun Tower, he even forced himself to suffer from headaches. She always believed that Yanyun Tower must surpass Qingji Sect. Only in this way could the strength of Yanyun Tower be proved and better development be achieved.

But after seeing this scene in front of her, Gui Ruoxue felt that if every competition was as perfect as today, perhaps Lu Mengqing... would also think this was a good idea.

After all, everyone seemed to like the game in front of them so much.

"bass!"

Another fight, this time Gui Taoran finally completed his most beautiful strike. Zheng Yinshang took the blow and walked to Gui Taoran in a cool manner.

However, he did not expect that Gui Taoran's previous attack actually caused pain in his wrist.

"Isn't it time to end?" Zheng Yinshang whispered, "You performed well today, Lao Gui. You must thank me when you go back. It's almost time. What's your exit move? Let me see if my next strike should be heavier or lighter to match your exit move."

“…”

Gui Taoran didn't say anything, but swung his sword. Zheng Yinshang took the opportunity to fight with him and thought that Gui Taoran was really dedicated this time.

But after all, I can't compare to him.

"After we're done, I'll take you to the mountain gate for a good meal. Although there have been a lot of strange things happening in the sect recently... but we finally finished this, so we still have to celebrate. Which restaurant do you want to go to?"

“…”

This time, Zheng Yinshang finally heard Gui Taoran's reply.

He was panting because of exhaustion, but his voice was a little low: "In your heart, I only think about eating?"

Zheng Yinshang said: "I thought you were mute. You haven't told me when you want to leave. I'm telling you, you're lucky to have met me. Otherwise, who would cooperate with you and give you a beautiful exit... OK!"

A gentle breeze blew, and petals fell on both sides. There couldn’t be a better setting and opportunity.

At this moment, Zheng Yinshang took responsibly and knocked Gui Taoran to the ground.

This fall startled Zheng Yinshang - because he felt a clear resistance, he subconsciously exerted force and dealt a heavy blow to Gui Taoran.

This made Gui Taoran's fall not so pretty. Fortunately, the petals blown up by the breeze fell on Gui Taoran in time, not only covering up this small mistake, but also making him look very sad and beautiful.

The disciples' voices also came from both sides. Especially the fifth one.

"Senior Brother——!" Lao Wu said heartbreakingly.

"Wow, this blood..." Old Seventeen whispered, "It looks pretty realistic."

"It's all right, Amitabha." Old Fifteen said, "This should be the most dignified and lucky exit for Third Senior Brother, right? If he continues to fight, it will not only be embarrassing, but will also affect Third Senior Brother's popularity."

From the perspective of advertising effect, this scene is the best ending.

Hundreds of onlookers were watching, all taking pictures of this poignant and elegant scene.

Zheng Yinshang walked towards Gui Taoran anxiously: "Are you okay..."

Only he knew that what Gui Taoran spat out might be real blood!

You really can't blame him for this - who could have expected Gui Taoran's sudden resistance? Gui Taoran is clear about his own strength and his own capabilities. That unskilled attack just now was simply courting death.

——Fortunately, I didn’t ruin my good brother’s tragic exit performance. Zheng Yinshang thought so. If we accidentally knock him away and the scene becomes ugly, it will be the end of us.

Speaking of which, isn't it time for Gui Taoran to say his exit lines? Should Zheng Yinshang make any reaction to cooperate with him?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yinshang looked at the ground. He had expected to see Gui Taoran quit while he was ahead.

But the next moment, he saw a scene he had never expected.
