Chapter 49 Northern Wilderness (Part 4) The Trial Meeting is Moved Up. [Second Update]...
"I told you, it's really troublesome to get entangled with this kind of person." Wenren Xi said gloatingly, looking at Qingxing who was slumped on the table.
Gudako muttered to herself, "I already told you that Wei Du is not someone to mess with..."
"You said he was good at swordsmanship, and we all thought it was because he was powerful and not someone to mess with." Shen Wan pouted. "Who knew it was this aspect... Now look what's happened, Senior Sister has inexplicably become someone else's Daoist partner."
Duanmu Tingzhu added fuel to the fire with a grin: "Classmate, your love interest is here!"
"Shut up." The butterfly mark on Qingxing's ear was still shimmering. She lifted her head off the table with a "whoosh" and said expressionlessly, "I'm not going to the nightclub tonight."
Gudako asked curiously, "Then where are you going?"
Qingxing held the Endless Wood in her hand and tossed it a couple of times, then said calmly, "Go find Wei Du."
Shen Wan asked excitedly, "Let's go fight?"
"Hmm." Qingxing twirled her sword. "Let's fight to the death."
Ignoring the expressions of the people behind her, Qingxing walked straight out of the room and headed straight for the residence of the deputy deacon of the Qiushan Sect.
Last night, she fought Wei Du for three hundred rounds at the nightclub, destroying the martial arts arena that the Qiushan Sect had painstakingly set aside. More and more cultivators gathered to watch the spectacle, and eventually the entire arena stopped, and they began to chatter about their techniques.
Qingxing naturally ignored those people. Wei Du, being somewhat eccentric, finally found himself with a worthy opponent and became increasingly excited as the fight progressed. Finally, seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, it was the cultivators from the Qiushan Sect responsible for maintaining order at the nightclub who intervened and expelled them all.
But Wei Du disappeared as soon as he left the nightclub. Qing Xing wasn't familiar with the Qiushan Sect map, so she wasn't in a hurry to catch him.
It was already late at night. She didn't have the habit of staying up late, and she had used up most of her spiritual energy. She was so annoyed that she went back to the stilted house and slept until noon today.
In just one morning, rumors could spread far and wide.
So when Qingxing stepped out of her room, she was met with strange expressions from Shen Wan and the others.
Then came a deluge of gossip and questions:
"Senior sister, you have a cultivation partner?"
"I didn't realize you'd be alone your whole life."
"Don't talk nonsense! My master is so beautiful, so what if someone is pursuing her?!"
“Oh dear, Wei Du is quite good-looking too. You two together truly deserve the title of ‘golden couple’.”
Even the eldest sister, who usually had no interest in these things, seized the opportunity to say, "I think it's a good idea."
Xie Yuzhou turned around and gave Qingxing a thumbs up.
Qingxing: "..."
She was completely bewildered by the barrage of words and had no idea what was going on. How did she end up becoming Wei Du's Daoist partner after just one fight?!
Shen Wan chuckled and explained to her, "Senior Sister, don't you know? Wei Du was showing off his two-colored spirit butterfly to others early this morning, saying that you are his Daoist partner!"
It should be noted that the Miao Poisonous Spirit Butterfly only turns into two colors when its master identifies it as his Daoist partner. However, Wei Du's commotion forced both the Qiushan Sect disciples and the cultivators participating in the trial to learn that some disciples had already set their sights on each other before the trial even began.
Even worse, some went so far as to announce: Qiushan Sect is going to form a marriage alliance with Taihua Mountain!
Hearing this, Qingxing was speechless, thinking to herself, "Don't these people cultivate at all? Why are they all so focused on this gossip!"
And since they're all cultivating immortality, why are they still getting involved in this marriage alliance?
She didn't care what others said... but she didn't want these trivial matters to reach her master.
Although it's impossible for Master to care much.
We might even have to act as a go-between for them.
Qingxing gripped the inexhaustible wood tightly, feeling a little impatient for the first time.
Her mind was a jumble of thoughts, and she wasn't paying attention to where she was going. She bumped into a tall, pale yellow figure at the corner.
"Excuse me." Qingxing covered her forehead and looked up, but suddenly froze, "Master?"
Jiu Qu Chen rubbed his arm, which had been bruised from the impact. He had faint dark circles under his eyes, and his face was pale. Even his usually meticulously styled long hair was sticking up to one side, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.
"Qingxing? What are you doing here?" Jiuquchen looked up at the sky and asked in confusion, "It's not dark yet, and the nightclubs haven't opened at this hour."
Qingxing looked away guiltily: "I was just wandering around... Master, you don't look well, is something wrong?"
“Ah…” Jiu Qu Chen frowned slightly, his tone tinged with distress, as if he had thought of something. “A letter from Taihua Mountain… Not only Taihua Mountain, but every sect with a little reputation on the continent has been attacked by demons. Even the Duanmu family has not been spared… Moreover, the patrolling cultivators from Qiushan Sect reported that a group of high-level demons is approaching the Northern Wilderness Continent. The situation is quite critical.”
He paused, then continued to complain, "This clearly happened the day we arrived in the Northern Wilderness, but those people reviewing cross-border telegrams are so inefficient... It took them so long to submit the report..."
Qingxing was slightly taken aback: "Then will the examination be postponed?"
“I was just about to say that,” Jiu Qu Chen said, looking quite puzzled. “Those sects actually signed a petition saying that in order to avoid any trouble, they want to hold the trial in advance. I don’t know what they’re thinking.”
Qingxing: "The Qiushan Sect agreed?"
Jiuquchen: "That's right, we had a meeting for a whole day and night just to discuss this. Qiushan Sect's steward Mo Qi is in seclusion, so she handed over the decision-making power to Ji Kun. What could Ji Kun say? Everyone else wanted to move up their schedules, so he could only change his schedule as well."
Qingxing fell silent upon hearing this. She had never heard of any demonic disturbance test being brought forward in her previous three lives.
Could it have been done by the villain?
As she was pondering, she suddenly noticed the fragrance of lotus leaves growing stronger at the tip of her nose.
"Hiss." Jiu Qu Chen suddenly leaned down, pointing a finger at Qing Xing's earlobe. "What happened to your ear?"
Qingxing: "!"
She hadn't looked closely, but judging from everyone's reaction this morning, the mark Wei Du left last night must have been quite obvious; she had forgotten to cover it up!
"No..." Qingxing's eyes darted around as she frantically searched for an excuse in her mind, but she found with some despair that it was difficult for her to lie to her master.
Seeing her guilty look, Jiu Qu Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My disciple is such an honest person, she would never lie, right?"
