Chapter 257 Something is wrong
The second senior brother, who wanted to throw himself into the arms of his senior sister but was kicked into the arms of his junior brother, put his arm around his junior brother's shoulders and said with emotion: "Senior sister, I feel that the fight was very easy."
Tao Zi noticed the red face of a cultivator not far away. When he looked closely, he found that it was the cultivator who had just been defeated by Yue Shan.
Li Xiu also discovered that there was a monk next to the man who was staring at them.
The two exchanged glances, and the man on the other side grew angry. He strode over and threatened, "That's too much! You better hope your next opponent isn't me!"
Xi Jing looked at him blankly and said, "Who are you? How did we bully others?"
The monk glared at Han Yueshan without saying anything. His companion hurried over to grab him and said, "I'm not as skilled as you. There's no need to do this."
"Ah Xuan, what they just said was humiliating you!"
Han Yueshan also reacted, let go of his junior brother's shoulders, and said: "Telling the truth is also a humiliation?"
"you!"
The man was so angry that he didn't know what to say. His companions beside him tried to comfort him, and there was an apologetic look on their faces when they looked at them.
Zhao Xue's tone softened a bit: "My senior brother is stronger than your friend. If he can't beat you, then that's my senior brother's problem."
"Big Brother, Second Brother, what are you doing here?"
A pleasant female voice sounded, and everyone looked over and saw a woman with a high ponytail who looked decisive and efficient. Next to her stood a playful and lively girl.
The monk named Ah Xuan touched his nose, smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, go back."
Watching the four of them walk away, Xi Jing finally realized, "Wow, they're just like us, all of us have gone through the transformation."
Tao Zi patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go to the bottom of the mountain. The list for tomorrow will be out soon."
"Hmm." Xi Jing frowned and said, "Why not release the list all at once? It's very troublesome to release it only one day in advance."
"That's because..."
Xi Jing was startled by the sudden sound behind her and quickly turned around to look.
The unlucky monk was also frightened by her action. He took a few steps back and said, "Young lady, why do you react like this?"
Xi Jing smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh, it's okay. What did you say was the reason?"
"Because some people bribed people after getting the list a few days in advance, I guess this won't happen in the second round - if anyone makes it to the second round, no one can stop them from being bribed."
Xi Jing suddenly understood and nodded, "That's right."
Tao Zi felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain and looked at the list, the unfortunate monk wailed, "I have another competition."
His companion patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Han Yueshan said nervously, "Senior Sister, your first match will be tomorrow."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Zhao Xue, this is your first match too. Go back and have a good rest tonight."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Li Xiu touched his chin, clicked his tongue, and said, "I also have a competition tomorrow, and it's the first one. Who of you wants to come and see me?"
Silence fell all around. Tao Zi said calmly, "I'll finish the competition as soon as possible."
The unlucky monk looked at him sympathetically and said, "All of us casual cultivators are like this. You'll just get used to it."
Before he could answer, Xi Jing asked, "By the way, which realm are you in?"
The sympathetic gaze of the unfortunate monk became more and more obvious. Li Xiu was choked with sobs and speechless. Fortunately, Tao Zi helped answer: "Xuan Zhaoqi."
Xi Jing was a little shocked and said, "I can't tell at all."
He said weakly, "Weren't you all here when I went to sign up?"
"I didn't notice."
Li Xiuxin felt even more tired.
When they returned to the inn, Xi Jing suddenly thought of Yue Qingya and said, "Hey, I don't seem to have seen Brother Qing. I'll go check it out."
Tao Zi was immersed in the information about her next opponent. Just as she reacted, she heard Xi Jing's scream.
They put down their things and rushed over.
As soon as she passed by, Xi Jing's spiritual energy madly attacked the people in the room: "Pervert!"
Tao Zi quickly stopped her, but before she could say anything, she saw the scene inside and fell silent.
The man squatting in the bathtub smiled awkwardly and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, what a coincidence."
"Friend Mo Dao, what a coincidence."
Xi Jing was shocked and asked, "Senior Sister, do you recognize this pervert?"
Tao Zi closed the door and whispered, "Brother Qing just left. I forgot to tell you. It's my fault."
Xi Jing's face flushed red. She bowed towards the room and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Daoyou Mo's voice came from the room: "I didn't draw the curtain. It's my fault."
In the end, the matter ended with Li Xiu paying for the meal.
After finishing the meal, Daoyou Mo asked, "Where's Brother Qing? Why don't I see him?"
"He left for something."
Tao Zi recalled Yue Qingya's sudden knock on her door last night and continued gently, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Mo to be here. Are you here to participate in the competition?"
Daoyou Mo smiled and said, "No, I just came here to watch the fun."
Han Yueshan thought about it and said abruptly, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the Xuanzhao period competition?"
Although Mo Yu didn't know why he asked this, he still said, "I'll go take a look."
Han Yueshan patted Li Xiu's head and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you don't have to fight alone anymore."
Li Xiu said disdainfully: "I'm not like you guys, I'm not afraid of these things."
Mo Yu understood and smiled as he picked up some food and started eating.
As soon as she returned to her room, Tao Zi recalled Yue Qingya's hastily uttered words last night: "The Sword Sect's Young Master suddenly contacted me through a good friend of mine. I must go back now and pretend not to know him from now on."
After saying just these few words, he left without saying anything else.
Tao Zi pressed her brows together, called Li Xiu and the others over, and told them, "When you see Brother Qing again, just pretend you don't know him."
They agreed obediently, and Han Yueshan asked, "What about An Ran?"
"She hasn't seen Brother Qing's true face, so it's okay. By the way, why haven't I seen her recently?"
Xi Jing chuckled. "Second Master Cheng knew about her fight and intervened. Even the flower monk was called in to chant sutras, saying that this would help her calm down."
"I'll find some time to talk to Hua Seng about Brother Qing's situation."
Tao Zi's right eye twitched, her mind was not on these words at all - she knew that Hua Seng stayed in the Cheng family's basement, but she didn't expect that he would stay for this reason.
The most important thing is that Cheng Anyue was not so strict in disciplining An Ran. Thinking about Yue Qingya's hasty departure, she smelled the sign of impending storm.
Zhao Xue asked anxiously, "Senior Sister, why are you looking at us like that?"
"It's okay. Don't go out recently. Stay in the inn and don't be alone."
At this point, Tao Zi frowned and said, "Xi Jing, you and Yue Shan should both go to Zhao Xue's side. Don't act separately."
"Senior Sister, what about you?"
Tao Zi said seriously: "I'm fine, just take care of yourselves."
Li Xiu sensed something was wrong with her attitude, but considering that Xi Jing and the others were present, she didn't say anything.
