Chapter 71: Lemon in the Valley (13) Skills Competition...
On the day of the skills competition, the valley was bustling with activity.
This is the first time that the Iceberg Sea has officially appeared in this world and participated in such a large-scale event.
I was busy in seclusion before, and only went out of the valley with a few people. I haven't participated in any real activities.
This time, she met her two half-brothers.
They were the sons born to her father's concubine, whom her mother had always resented. The elder one was the same age as Liu Binghai, just one month younger than her, and the younger one was three years younger than her.
The two younger brothers seem to be quite well behaved. Maybe they all know that the sour lemon girl is not to be trifled with, so they don't interact too closely with her.
During the competition ceremony, Liu Binghai stood on the command platform with his father, and his two younger brothers stood beside him. The younger one seemed to have a hand disease and kept picking at something with his hand, as if he had ringworm due to an allergy.
Competitions in the valley are divided into three levels: beginner and intermediate, intermediate and advanced, and advanced players competing against each other.
In the original world, Liu Binghai gave Murong Qian a drug during the competition. No one knew where the drug came from. Murong Qian drank it like a bowl of tea. After drinking it, her face turned purple and red. She was absent-minded, talking nonsense, and almost took off her clothes in public, making a big fool of herself.
Because of this, after the original owner's behavior was discovered, he was put into cold confinement for a long time, and then he met Aqiu.
Drugging the people in the valley, what a bad behavior, and the one who did it was the commander's daughter. She was jealous of Murong Qian's cultivation and her relationship with Yaowu Tian. That bowl of tea almost ruined Murong Qian's good reputation.
At this moment, the ceremony is over and Da Xinyu is announcing the list of opponents.
Liu Binghai and Murong Qian are in a group.
Originally, she was only at the beginner level of cultivation and could not meet Murong Qian, but she had been practicing in seclusion these days and had reached the intermediate and advanced level. She was assigned to a group with Murong Qian, who had just been promoted to the advanced level.
After many days of hard training, she was still one level higher than Liu Binghai, and Liu Binghai felt that she was a match for him.
Men and women have different strengths. She had only fought with men outside the valley before, and she didn't know how strong women were.
Murong Qian used a long whip, which was clean and sharp.
Yao Wutian was worried that Sour Lemon's old problem would recur, so he went to her before the competition started and warned her, "Qian'er is not as resistant to blows as men, so be gentle and don't use any tricks."
The main thing is not to use any crooked methods.
Liu Binghai chuckled. There was no such thing as deliberately being gentle in a duel.
She understood that Yao Wutian was afraid that she would do something bad, but if she was still the original owner, wouldn't this be a reminder to her?
Not wanting to waste time talking to the dean, Liu Binghai squatted down lightly and gestured, "Yes, Tomoko."
Yao Wutian nodded and turned to leave, but when he was halfway there he suddenly realized that she was the heroine and he was just Chieko. How could a commander's daughter salute Chieko?
But she seemed to have saluted him several times these days.
In the past, she was not very well behaved and he didn't want to pay attention to her at all. She was also a sour girl. As soon as she saw him, she would stick to him and gossip about him. It was so annoying that he never paid attention to these rules with her.
She was the daughter of a commander. This was the first time he had this realization in his heart.
I used to think she was just a sourpuss.
The game will start soon.
Liu Binghai faced Murong Qian, hoping to get some of her spiritual power.
If you want to gain spiritual power, you have to do it in a good way.
Murong Qian was still a little wary of her because of the past, but she did not act rashly when they left the valley together this time, so Murong Qian did not think too much about it.
Murong Qian made the first move and revealed a burst of spiritual power.
The drifting ice sea quickly absorbed this part of spiritual power.
With their martial arts skills intertwined, Murong Qian defeated Liu Binghai with a small skill, and Liu Binghai had a great time fighting.
Fighting with women is different from fighting with men. In addition to hard spiritual power, you can also fight with soft spiritual power. Women themselves are spiritual. Liu Binghai discovered that even a glance, a smile, or an emotion of a woman can disperse some spiritual power.
After Liu Binghai unleashed a move, Murong Qian felt a moment of dismay. Liu Binghai had absorbed a bit of her emotional energy, and she chuckled inwardly, thinking that women could steal a lot of emotional energy during a fight. Seeing Murong Qian frown, she quickly stepped forward, patted her on the back, and chuckled, "Sister Qian, are you okay?"
She was as gentle as water. Murong Qian was stunned and stammered, "No, nothing."
Love was swirling in Liu Binghai's eyes, and he smiled with the corners of his eyes curved, "I'm glad you're alright."
A trace of embarrassment and awkwardness flashed across Murong Qian's face, and she released a bit of shy spiritual power, but it was eaten up by Liu Binghai again.
Women are more emotional than men and can easily release emotional spiritual power. However, it was not the case between her and Zhang Yu that day. Although he was cunning, he never showed any emotion. On the contrary, she vented some of her anger, and perhaps she was eaten up by him.
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhang Yu wanted to challenge her again and again. He must be coveting her emotional spiritual power.
snort.
She calmed herself down and took the mysterious power sent by Murong Qian.
The snort just now was directed at Zhang Yu, not Murong Qian, so no emotional spiritual power was released to the opponent. Instead, Murong Qian, after being blocked by Liu Binghai, sighed that this sour lemon had made rapid progress, and let out a burst of surprise.
Liu Binghai smiled, turned and stepped forward and asked, "Sister, do you think I have made progress?"
Murong Qian thought she was provoking her again and didn't know how to respond. Liu Binghai smiled again and said, "Sister, you are beautiful and skilled. I really admire you. I will learn more from you in the future..."
She smiled in a frivolous and provocative manner, but her eyes were steady, much like Zhang Yu at that time...
Murong Qian lost some of her shyness again...
Eat a lot of drift ice sea.
Yao Wutian watched from behind, his heart sinking. How could this woman even flirt with other women? It was not enough for her to flirt with the men outside, she even didn't let go of the women in the valley. She was really trying her best for her cultivation.
She really tried her best. He used to be the most diligent young man in the valley.
Yao Wutian's face darkened again.
Murong Qian was a little nervous when fighting with her, so it was normal for her to have emotional fluctuations.
She is best at bold and sweeping moves that are fast and powerful.
Liu Binghai lost to Murong Qian, but took several bites of Murong Qian's emotional spiritual power.
After the competition, the people in the valley talked about Liu Binghai. As the daughter of the commander, Liu Binghai had to offer competition tea to her elders. She respectfully offered the tea and stood aside without saying a word.
Several elders praised her, "The heroine has grown up and is much more mature and stable than before."
Da Xinyu comforted him, "My daughter has been practicing diligently lately and hasn't acted up anymore. Her mother and I are very pleased."
"The heroine is so beautiful, she's really a promising talent. I've seen her martial arts skills improve so quickly, how come she suddenly came to her senses?"
Da Xinyu smiled and said, "Maybe she's matured. Or maybe she wants to marry her ideal husband?"
He glanced at Liu Binghai and said, "How about arranging your marriage with Hua Cheng in the near future? I heard that he took great care of you during your trip out of the valley and was very conscientious. I think you two are really a perfect match."
When Da Xinyu was randomly pairing up couples, Fan Huacheng was standing by.
Liu Binghai replied respectfully, "Father, I don't want to think about this right now."
There are still so many secrets in her land that have not been revealed, and the Red Child has not arrived yet. It is impossible for her to get married at this time.
Da Xinyu didn't force it, and seemed to be just teasing her, "Then you can think about it slowly. Anyway, it's only a matter of time."
In the valley, cultivation is the most important thing, and no one takes love affairs seriously. After this topic is over, no one mentions it again.
In the arena, she met the patriarchs of the other two major families, including Yao Wutian's father Yao Chengwei. Only large families specializing in cultivation were eligible to participate in the competition, and other small families could only watch.
She wanted to look for Hou Jinyan in the spectator group, but there were too many people and an extra head would not be easily noticed.
Soon, it was time for the second round of battle between her and Murong Qian.
She changed her clothes, put on light makeup, and raised the corners of her eyes, like a ghostly snake. The snake looked at Murong Qian with its eyes, and slowly revealed an exploratory smile.
Murong Qian was startled.
She had never seen Liu Binghai smile like that.
It was like he was hooking something and wanted to take it from her.
She used a wave of wind to push it over, and the icy sea leaped into the air, as if it was caught by its sleeves and pushed back to her.
Murong Qian was stunned, took a half step back, looked at Liu Binghai and smiled faintly, "The heroine's cultivation has improved a lot."
Liu Binghai stopped and said politely, "Just a taste, thank you for the exchange of moves, sister."
The ice sea won this round.
It is quite rare for an intermediate to defeat an advanced one. She has achieved great success through her seclusion and cultivation, so the big sour lemon fruit is not eaten in vain.
She wanted to test Murong Qian's skills.
Maybe we should trust everyone in the valley, or maybe we shouldn't trust everyone.
But Murong Qian's skills are just so-so.
After a busy day, she took a short rest by the river in the valley. On her way back, she met Yao Wutian.
He came to find her specifically. She made rapid progress, which amazed him a little, but he always felt that she was too aggressive and not capable of achieving great things.
Moreover, how did she practice the palm strike that pushed back Feng Bo?
He had fought with Murong Qian several times, but he couldn't push away that palm. Fengbo was Murong Qian's ultimate move, and he hadn't broken it yet.
How did she do it?
On the way, he saw the drifting ice sea and stopped her.
But it was not appropriate to ask her directly about her skills, so he took a detour and said, "You have made rapid progress recently. It is really surprising."
Liu Binghai thought it would be inconvenient to disagree with him or show a bad face, so he said respectfully, "Thank you Zhizi for the compliment."
Yao Wutian said seriously, "However, to cultivate and advance, you must know how to conceal your skills. Revealing too much may lead to disaster."
here we go again……
Liu Binghai stepped aside, bowed his head humbly and respectfully, and replied, "Yes, Xie Zhizi reminded me."
Yao Wutian nodded, feeling a little relieved for her growth.
"Although you've made rapid progress, your foundation is still insufficient. Better safe than sorry. Don't let momentary greed ruin your hard-earned cultivation. I think..."
It was another long lecture, and Liu Binghai was almost sleepy. When he finished, she didn't change her posture and nodded again, "Yes, Tomoko."
Things are changing so fast...
In the original plot, Yao Wutian was not so long-winded. He was almost a ruthless character. When he found out that Liu Binghai had malicious intentions towards Murong Qian, he put her on the valley's blacklist without saying a word, and questioned Da Xinyu on behalf of other tribesmen: Is such a woman worthy of being the commander's daughter?
Those who endanger the order in the valley should have their titles removed and kicked out of the valley, but considering that sending this person outside the valley may easily lead to collusion with outsiders, Yaowu Tiancai let her go and kept this big sour lemon in the valley.
But unexpectedly, it would eventually attract the Red Son. The original owner tried to explain that she didn't know that Aqiu was related to the Red Son, and begged him to let her and the Gulala family go. He just looked at her wearily, as if he was very tired of the entanglement with her in this life.
In the end, he replaced Da Xinyu's position, and the husband the original owner finally married was also chosen by him personally, because the soldier who burned firewood was the farthest away from his training forest.
At that time, he didn't even give Big Lemon Spirit a chance to explain or refute. He thought he was the most diligent young man in the valley and looked down on any member of the tribe.
Now, he is so long-winded.
Liu Binghai didn't want to be his enemy, so he was very polite and waited for the next lecture from the dean.
While waiting, Yao Wutian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was relatively obedient. He asked, "How did you manage to push back Murong Qian's Feng Bo palm strike just now?"
Um?
Liu Binghai looked up at him.
"I saw you step back into the air, then push Feng Bo back with your backhand. How did you generate that strength?"
Liu Binghai didn't know either, she just hit him casually. Maybe she was not originally from the valley and was not solidified by the fixed routine.
"I don't know, I just typed it casually."
Yao Wutian looked at her solemnly.
She was still on guard against her. He and she had never been on good terms in the past, and she was holding a grudge against him.
Liu Binghai was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained solemnly, "I just followed the wind and bounced naturally. I didn't think too much about it."
Explanation is covering up, and the more you explain, the worse it gets. Yao Wutian's meaningful look reveals the darkness in his heart.
She was still on guard against him...
He was doing this for her own good, asking her to be more reserved and not to have contact with outsiders. What was wrong with him?
What was wrong with him saving her from disaster and preserving himself?
Yaowutian stared at the sea of drifting ice, unable to say anything.
Seeing that he was very unhappy, Liu Binghai was too lazy to explain anymore and let him think whatever he wanted.
After a while, Yao Wutian's unhappiness faded, and he continued to teach, "When practicing, you must pay attention to the integration of your body and the jade's spiritual power. You shouldn't be greedy for too much jade. More is not always better. Excessive spiritual power will backfire."
Hmm? How did he know that there were many more jade stones in her forest now?
Liu Binghai was humble and polite: "Okay, Tomoko."
"It's right not to casually share your own skills and palm techniques with outsiders. The same should be done towards the people in the valley."
here we go again……
"Okay, Tomoko."
The momentum is picking up on the field and cheers can be heard.
Yao Wutian looked at her and asked, "Is your marriage with Fan Huacheng settled?"
What is it… Ryuhyo Kaido, “No.”
"Oh." Yao Wutian nodded. "A woman's lifelong affairs are of great importance. You should consider it carefully."
Liu Binghai began to feel sleepy again, "Yeah."
He hasn't left yet.
She was almost asleep. After a long while, Yao Wutian slowly approached her, leaned over to her ear, and asked again, "Have you found any similar mushrooms outside the valley?"
He's like a curious Teletubby.
Liu Binghai raised his eyebrows and glanced at him warily, "Tomoko."
"I know." Yao Wutian said, "This is a secret, very rare, and it is not convenient to talk about it often. However, I think that perhaps your own spiritual power is different from others. Perhaps this is your special spiritual power."
Liu Binghai thought the same, but she didn't want to discuss this with him. "Don't bother, Tomoko."
"In this case, you must protect yourself and don't let others take you away."
The competition lasted for three days. Liu Binghai defeated two people and stole the limelight. However, whenever she was in the limelight, she felt that there was a pair of eyes of the head teacher in the crowd staring at her all the time. She felt bored and stopped fighting after defeating two people.
But she still became famous. After all, she was very different from before. She was wearing light snake-like makeup that day, and the people in the tribe had a very different impression of her.
After the competition, she returned home to rest. Her mother was extremely happy with her performance. In the past, the two sons of the concubines had always been in the limelight, but today, it was finally her daughter's turn.
My daughter is doing well, and I feel happier too.
The original owner's mother held her, looking very happy, praising her recent progress while mentioning her marriage with Fan Huacheng in both obvious and subtle ways.
My mother talked about the various advantages of marrying Fan Huacheng, saying that it would not only consolidate the family's power, but also take care of her future life. Fan Huacheng was excellent in both martial arts and character, and was the perfect choice in her mind.
Of course Yao Wutian is also a good person, but doesn’t Yao Wutian look down on her? Her previous mischief has long made the Yao family dislike her.
Thinking of this, the old woman sighed, "It would be great if the Yao family could be on good terms with us, but it doesn't matter if Yaowu Tianxiang doesn't favor you. As long as you don't act recklessly in the future, Fan Huacheng has been loyal to your father for many years and will definitely not treat you badly. Just be a good boy and accommodate your husband in everything."
Oh, I have to settle for second best. I have to be a good boy. My parents really look down on this girl.
"Why should I accommodate others in everything?" Liu Binghai said casually.
The mother was getting anxious again, "You child, why don't you just be quiet for a few days and then..."
Liu Binghai said quickly, "I didn't think anything of it. Don't worry, mother. I will be more obedient in the future. But now is not the time for me to get married."
The mother was puzzled and looked suspicious. "Why? Is there someone else in your heart?"
Before she could reply, he hurriedly laughed, "Oh, are you still thinking about Yao Wutian? Please forgive him. His heart is not filled with you, but with Murong Qian. Please don't throw potions and ice water on Murong Qian anymore."
Drift Ice Sea...
If it weren't for the mission, she really wanted to turn around and leave, not taking on this big lemon thing.
"No, mother," Liu Binghai said, "I didn't think about anything with him. I was thinking about my life in the forest."
The mother paused, "What happened in the forest?"
After returning to the valley from the drifting ice sea, he had not yet told his mother about what was happening outside the valley and had been practicing in seclusion.
Now that she had some free time, she thought it was time to explain everything and shift the topic of marriage. She said to her mother, "Mother, many mushrooms have appeared in my forest before, and I haven't found any that are exactly the same outside the valley. I think they might be the best in our valley, and they are also rare. With such a rare thing in my family, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to get married now."
Her mother paused for a moment, "What's wrong with getting married?"
Liu Binghai laughed and said, "We haven't even figured out what's in this forest yet, how can we let outsiders get involved? What if it's a treasure? Or what if it's poisonous?"
The mother felt that there was some truth in it, but if that was the case, would she remain single for the rest of her life?
Liu Binghai comforted his mother, saying, "Mother, I don't place much importance on love between men and women in this life. You've seen how obsessed I was with men before. From now on, I only want to bring honor to our family and let you hold your head high in front of your concubines. If I marry, I will no longer be a member of the Gulala family, and who will protect you then?"
His mother was still dazed, and Liu Binghai continued, "Don't worry. When I reach a high level of cultivation, I will definitely choose a good son-in-law for you to provide for you and your father's later years. If you still insist on my marrying Mr. Fan then, I won't say anything. But right now, the timing is not right. Please allow me to take care of my own affairs first."
Seeing her insistence, the woman stopped talking, thought for a moment, and then whispered mysteriously, "Well, you didn't try it secretly, so where did that big mushroom of yours come from?"
Liu Binghai smiled and said, "Not yet, but I have something to ask mother."
The woman asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
Liu Binghai: "When I was a child, was I any different from other people?"
Ah, there are so many differences! You're more petty and capricious than anyone else. Any daughter who gets into trouble in front of you is in trouble. Your father's ability to hold onto his current position is entirely due to his own strength. You like to paint your eyebrows and eyes to compete with other girls. If you don't have enough skills, your eyebrows will show off. If you lose a competition, you will lie on the ground and cry all day. You also like to hit your big sour lemon fruit like a ball. Murong Qian's head was almost blown apart by you several times.
Just as the woman was about to start her story, Liu Binghai continued, "What I mean is, did I have any illnesses when I was a child? Was there anything different about my body compared to other people?"
When the mother was asked this question, she was stunned for a moment.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Nothing unusual."
At this moment, a little girl ran in anxiously and said to the woman, "Madam, madam, something big has happened. Miss Linzi..."
This is the cook in Gulala's family. The cooks in the family usually call the hostess "Miss".
Liu Binghai listened for a moment and asked, "What happened in my forest?"
The little girl kept talking, "Miss, go and take a look. There is a huge monster outside your forest..."
