Chapter 87: Apology: Did Senior Brother apologize to you?
In just a moment, Song Xinghe suddenly seemed like a different person. His moves suddenly became fiercer and the spiritual power he used increased greatly.
The situation, which originally seemed to be close in strength, suddenly became one-sided.
The female cultivator on the opposite side did not expect Song Xinghe to suddenly exert force. She was caught off guard and retreated repeatedly. She couldn't help but curse again, "What the hell is going on?"
His sword was pointed very cunningly, either passing over her head or brushing her left shoulder - almost hitting her heart.
"Senior Brother Song is just now exerting his strength."
"As expected of the master's direct disciple, he is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator with strength comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul cultivator or even an early Spiritualization cultivator."
Everyone admired him, but Mu Fuyun, who watched for a moment, was the only one who was not impressed by his strength. Instead, he felt that he looked a little too ostentatious and radical.
She couldn't help but frown slightly. Song Xinghe's swordsmanship was remarkable. Although he was easily angered by her words in the past, he shouldn't be so reckless when drawing his sword. Could it be because the female cultivator just shouted something at him angrily?
If that were true, he was far too petty. This Song Xinghe was even more immature than he'd imagined.
She shook her head, seeing the advantage in his swordsmanship, and after figuring it out, she turned and left, walking towards the trial platform next to her to continue watching other people's competitions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she took out the jade token and sent a message to Xu Huaiyan, asking about Zhan Yao's situation.
I wanted to ask Zhan Yao directly, but considering Zhan Yao's temper, if she was seriously injured, she would probably just reply indifferently, "I won't die." After thinking about it, I decided to ask someone else first.
While waiting for a response, Song Xinghe on the stage had already noticed her shaking her head and leaving.
I don't know what his mentality was, but his already overly fierce sword moves became even more out of control, with a hint of anger and venting of emotions.
The female cultivator opposite him was at the same level as him, but her swordsmanship and reaction were slightly inferior. After resisting for a while, she was finally defeated.
She was extremely dissatisfied. Others might not be able to see it, but she could clearly feel that Song Xinghe was absent-minded just now. This was too disrespectful!
But there was nothing she could do. With her opponent distracted, she still lost and could only sigh that she was not as skilled as her opponent.
As a female cultivator from Luoxia Peak, she also adhered to the upright demeanor she learned from her master Jiang Hanqiu, saying "I admit defeat" and then solemnly saying "I hope senior brother can be more serious in the next confrontation."
After winning a game, Song Xinghe became more and more absent-minded. Hearing her say this, he was stunned for a moment before saying "sorry".
Originally, her attitude was quite sincere. The female cultivator curled her lips and felt relieved. She was about to say something humble, but she saw that Song Xinghe's face suddenly turned ugly.
She hit a snag again and didn't want to say anything more. Regardless of the injuries she had just suffered, she jumped off the trial platform with her head held high.
On the other side, Mu Fuyun watched the competition between his other two senior brothers and continued to move towards the next venue.
"Where did you learn the ability to control spiritual energy and spiritual fire?"
A familiar voice, neither high nor low, with ambiguous meaning, suddenly appeared in my ears.
She paused and turned around to see Chu Ye who had approached her at some point.
"Uncle Xie's swordsmanship is exceptional, arguably the best in the world, but I've never heard that he can also make pills or refine weapons."
"What does it have to do with you?" Mu Fuyun still remembered how he had advised her to admit her mistake when she was troubled by Elder Qin. She disliked him even more than usual, not wanting to even glance at him. She simply turned her eyes away. "So what if I'm self-taught? It's not like even this is considered unorthodox and embarrassing for Mu Fuyue, is it?"
Chu Ye was silent.
In fact, he came here on purpose not to question her about anything, but when he opened his mouth, he still had a tone of doubt as usual, and what he said was completely different from what he had thought before.
"sorry."
Just when Mu Fuyun thought he would not say anything else and was planning to stay away from him, he suddenly opened his mouth and said these three words.
"The sun is rising from the west," she turned around in surprise, looking Chu Ye up and down, as if wondering if he had been bewitched by some evil spell. "Senior Brother Chu actually apologized to me. Why?"
Chu Ye looked at her genuine surprise, and even though he heard the sarcasm in her expression, he didn't find it offensive.
Over the past two years, his dislike for her had almost completely disappeared with the constant observations and observations he'd made. However, after discovering the secrets of the Soul-Nurturing Technique, a hidden sense of guilt and reluctance had grown in his heart.
The disgust disappeared, and the guilt and reluctance began to grow day by day.
Especially just now, when he saw her being bullied by Chen Tian and Elder Qin, he originally wanted to help her out. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, but after seeing how Xie Hanyi handled it, he realized that his thoughts were too simple and not really beneficial to her.
"Just now, in front of Elder Qin, I advised you to bow your head." He lowered his eyelids, unable to look directly into her dark, bright eyes. "I was inconsiderate."
It was the first time that Mu Fuyun discovered that Chu Ye was also a person who could admit his mistakes, and his mood immediately became better.
However, being in a good mood doesn't mean she will forgive him for what he did in the past.
Compared with what happened in the past, a superficial apology is really of no use.
"It's true that you haven't considered it carefully." Mu Fuyun nodded seriously. "However, my eldest brother has his own difficulties. I also understand that not everyone is as powerful as our master, who can distinguish right from wrong and is not afraid of what others say."
Chu Ye's expression froze. He could hear the sarcasm in her words and felt unhappy.
But unlike the unhappiness in the past, today, every time he felt more unhappy, the shame in his heart also increased, so much so that he couldn't even get angry and refute.
"I won't defend myself." He tightened his hands at his sides. "Tomorrow is the half-month period again. I'll wait for you at Xizhao Pavilion."
"I know. I naturally remember my affairs better than anyone else. I don't need anyone to remind me."
Mu Fuyun waved his hand impatiently, without saying anything more to him, and turned around to continue watching other people's competition according to his own plan.
Song Xinghe saw everything about the brief conversation between the two.
He opened his mouth and wanted to go off the stage and ask about Mu Fuyun's situation, but his competition was not over yet and he had to stay on the stage to face the next challenger, so he had to watch from afar.
Just when he was about to look away, he accidentally glanced and found that in the crowd, there was a solitary figure hidden at the edge of the bamboo forest, staring at Mu Fuyun with a complicated look.
His eyes paused, and he quickly recognized her. It was Xu Lian, the person who almost harmed Mu Fuyun in the Xisha Islands, but in the end Zhan Yao took the blame.
What does she want to do now?
Song Xinghe secretly kept a watchful eye.
In the next three competitions, he finally recovered his usual state, winning consecutive games very smoothly.
At the moment of the end, he jumped off the trial platform, hastily responded to everyone's congratulations, and left alone. He went straight to a place with fewer people, summoned Yunsheng, a little Taoist boy from Shanmingju, and gave him a few instructions.
I don’t know what he said, but a look of reluctance and embarrassment appeared on Yunsheng’s round and cute little face, but he still pouted and nodded obediently, then turned and ran away.
He himself immediately went to find Mu Fuyun, who was about to leave the trial field to visit Zhan Yao.
"What are you doing?" Mu Fuyun was pulled by his sleeve and dragged directly into the bamboo forest. She was quite dissatisfied. This pair of brothers did not seem to have a very close relationship on weekdays, but they always came together to disturb her good mood.
"I have something to tell you." Song Xinghe pulled her into the depths of the bamboo forest and stopped there, but he did not let go of the hand that was holding her sleeve.
"What? You want to apologize to me too?" Mu Fuyun slapped the back of his hand and pushed his hand away.
Song Xinghe withdrew his hand awkwardly, but still grasped the key point in her words: "Just now, did Senior Brother apologize to you?"
"yes."
"So you... forgive him?"
"What are you talking about?" Mu Fuyun looked up at him in confusion and said coldly, "There's no such thing as an apology and you have to forgive me."
Song Xinghe's breathing stagnated and he pursed his lips. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was more relieved or disappointed.
"What do you want to say? Please hurry up. I don't have time to waste."
Seeing Mu Fuyun looking around and ready to leave at any time, Song Xinghe's eyes dimmed.
"I saw Xu Lian just now. She was hiding in the dark and watching you. I don't know what she was going to do." As he told what he saw, he felt a little suspicious.
In fact, there was no evidence at all. He just looked at her a few more times in the crowd. There was no reason for him to conclude that Xu Lian had ulterior motives.
But the words were out, and he couldn't take them back, so he had to add: "She previously harbored resentment towards you, and perhaps she has no other plans this time, but it's better to be careful."
Mu Fuyun looked at him. Although he looked down upon his past actions, he did not sneer at his reminder this time.
Although based on her understanding of Xu Lian, she felt that Xu Lian, with her personality, would not do anything to her again after the last incident, it was always better to be more cautious than to be completely defenseless.
She nodded, said "I understand", and flew away on her sword, leaving Song Xinghe alone in a daze.
