Chapter 32 He is not as good as you Gu Congxing was leaning on top of him, sitting on his...
Si Junjian fell to the ground, Gu Congxing supported himself above him and sat on his hips.
Gu Congxing lowered her head and looked at him, her long black hair falling down and brushing against his face, causing a slight itch.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
The noise in Si Junjian's chest grew louder and louder, and for some reason he began to feel irritated.
"Ouch! Stop it, stop it! I give up! Three against one is unethical!"
Xie Duyin's voice came from a distance, and Si Junjian suddenly came back to his senses.
"How long are you going to stay with me?"
He said coldly.
Gu Congxing sneered: "The defeated general is still so arrogant."
As if in revenge, he deliberately pressed down again, until he saw Si Junjian's face suddenly flushed, then he stood up with satisfaction.
Si Junjian is a proud person, and he must feel extremely humiliated if he is treated like this.
Gu Congxing put away the Whale-Slaying Sword and felt a sense of relief in his heart.
After all, in his previous life, he was surrounded and attacked because Si Junjian leaked the forbidden technique. If he said that he had no hatred, he would be deceiving himself.
Now that I've beaten him and Tsui Hark like this, I feel much better all over.
“Senior Brother!”
Zhong Ming's face was filled with excitement and he ran into Gu Congxing's arms.
Tao Xueting and Mei Ci also came to his side. She said in a cheerful tone, "Senior Brother Gu, we won!"
At that moment, the elder of the Ganyang Sect also landed beside them and exclaimed in admiration, "Heroes truly emerge from youth!"
He then turned to the monks outside and loudly announced: "The winner of the first group duel is the Qingxuan Sword Sect!!"
“Wow—”
The monks outside burst into huge cheers!
Qingxuan Sword Sect, well deserves its name!
Sitting on the high seats outside the martial arts arena, the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect all had proud smiles on their faces.
Ruan Wei said, "As expected of Senior Brother Gu, you are truly brave and resourceful."
A long-faced young man beside him said, "Gu Congxing has always been known as a fierce god in the sect. I thought he would fight alone, but I didn't expect him to cooperate so well with the others."
The other person nodded repeatedly: "That's right! I really thought Mei Ci was left behind by them, but it turned out to be a staged act to lure the enemy!"
Hearing their conversation, Lingyao's ears twitched and she moved closer to discuss with them.
"Although Senior Brother Gu is very formidable as an opponent, I don't think he's a difficult person to deal with in private."
Everyone was surprised when they heard her say this.
"You were once beaten to a pulp by Gu Congxing! Have you forgotten?"
Lingyao smiled mysteriously and summoned the Sanqing Bell from her storage bag.
"Dangdang! This is the magic weapon that Senior Brother Gu gave me! He just asked me to borrow a few books and gave me this Sanqing Bell!"
Several disciples looked at him with amazement and envy.
Lan Jue watched as their conversation became more and more heated, and his evaluation of Gu Congxing became more and more positive. He chuckled and turned to leave.
"Brother Lan, you've really taken great pains to improve Brother Gu's reputation within the sect."
Hearing the whisper behind him, Lan Jue turned around and saw Ruan Wei leaning against a long pillar with a smile on his face.
At this moment, both of them were far away from the crowd and were at the exit pavilion. Lan Jue and Ruan Wei looked at each other, their expressions unchanged. "Why do you say that, Junior Brother Ruan?"
"Although it was a random draw, Senior Brother Lan personally instructed Mei Ci and Tao Xueting on which lot to draw, didn't he?" Ruan Wei shrugged. "It's quite a coincidence that the only two people you instructed were placed in Group C."
Lan Jue didn't say anything.
"Besides those two, Lingyao and I are the only ones in this group who are familiar with Senior Brother Gu."
"It just so happens that we both have good relationships with people in the sect and love to talk. Putting us in the middle of the crowd, isn't it just so that everyone can hear what we say?"
Ruan Wei grinned: "Brother Lan, that's a good plan."
Lan Jue looked at him silently, and after a moment he said slowly, "Then, what is the purpose of what Junior Brother Ruan said?"
Ruan Wei blinked and smiled, "I'm just curious. Senior Brother Lan, I used to think you were always gentle and distant to everyone."
"——Why don't you let Senior Brother Gu know about your special thoughts?"
Lan Jue turned around and whispered to Ruan Wei.
"He deserves it. It doesn't matter who does it."
Ruan Wei watched the slender figure go away, and then his eyes turned to the four people who were talking and laughing in the sea of flowers in the arena.
“…A good sentence makes no difference.”
***
After saying goodbye to Zhong Min, Mei Ci and Tao Xueting, Gu Congxing went straight back to his own courtyard.
After bathing and cleaning himself, he summoned a golden communication talisman and wrote:
"Master, this disciple and I have fulfilled our mission and won our first battle."
He added a few more lines, mentioning Mei Ci and Tao Xueting from the same team, and then passed it back to Qingxuan Sword Sect with satisfaction.
At this time, the second team battle had already begun. As soon as Gu Congxing stepped out of the courtyard, he saw a tall, moon-white figure.
"Cong Xing, do you want to go watch the battle with me?" Lan Jue said.
"That's natural."
The two of them once again arrived at the outskirts of the Jiuxiao Martial Arts Arena and went straight to the center of the Qingxuan Sword Sect's seats. As soon as he sat down, Gu Congxing felt many gazes coming from all directions.
...?
Gu Congxing turned his head to look, but he saw that all the monks from the same sect turned their heads quickly and looked around as if nothing had happened.
There were even two people who were so flustered that their heads bumped into each other, causing them to cry out in pain.
Gu Congxing: ...
Lan Jue saw Gu Congxing's puzzled expression and chuckled, "Junior brother, after this battle, you will have quite a few followers in the sect."
"Brother, you're joking. I've always had a bad reputation within the sect, and everyone avoids me."
Lan Jue blinked, propped up his head and looked straight into his eyes, his amber eyes sparkling with light.
He said softly, "Even if some people had many misunderstandings about you in the past, after seeing your team's performance today, they will naturally know the truth. Congxing, you are an excellent person."
Gu Congxing's expression froze for a moment, he coughed lightly, and slowly looked away.
At this moment, there was a noise again in the arena. Gu Congxing looked at the crimson-purple figure and couldn't help but sit up straighter.
"This battle between the aristocratic families was also exciting," Lan Jue said. "The Ganyang Sect must have deliberately arranged the battles so that the gap between the opponents in the group battles would not be too big. The first-class aristocratic families and sects were not able to face other sects."
At this moment, a bright voice came from behind him: "This is the Jiang family versus the Gu family. Brother, please watch carefully."
Zhong Ming sat down beside Gu Congxing, looking into the surging fighting arena.
He glanced at the four emerald figures and commented, "The Jiang family, ranked first among the four great families, is said to be extremely skilled in magic and formations, but it seems they are just so-so."
The three of them watched the battle quietly, only to see the crimson-purple sword light piercing through the arena, while the Jiang disciples retreated one after another, looking a little embarrassed.
Lan Jue frowned and said, "The formations that the Jiang family excels at are not prepared in this competition, and their magic attacks will not prevail against the sharp swordsmanship. However, the difference in strength between the two sides is not that great."
"It's just that Jiang's first disciple is not in this team, while Gu Qing from Gu's team has recently become famous."
When Gu Congxing heard Lan Jue's comment, his eyes fell on the crimson-purple figure dancing with a sword.
Gu Qing had a handsome face and his swordsmanship was light and agile. With each move, he forced the Jiang disciples to dodge and left them no time to cast spells.
Winning by speed, well done. Gu Congxing silently affirmed in his heart.
"Speaking of which, does Cong Xing have any impression of this Gu Qing?"
Gu Congxing thought, "He's the elder's son, and we don't spend much time together. But he seems to admire Gu Mingting very much, and often follows him to secretly learn the Liuyun Sword Technique."
While the two were talking, a disciple of Jiang family had actually completed the formation while dodging. He suddenly activated it, and several disciples of Gu family were suddenly trapped!
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that the disciple who seemed to be fleeing in a panic could actually draw an advanced spirit binding formation with the movement of his feet!
Gu Congxing looked at the seemingly weak and pale boy, and saw a casual smile on the corner of his mouth.
"This Jiang Zhou is quite interesting."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, spiritual light suddenly surged in the spiritual formation. Everyone looked intently and saw that the four Gu disciples had formed a sword formation. The sword power was so sharp that it broke the formation into pieces!
"boom!!"
With a loud bang, the Spirit Binding Formation was completely shattered, and all of Jiang's disciples were hit by the sword intent and collapsed to the ground one after another.
"In this team fight, the Gu family wins!!"
The elder of the Ganyang sect announced the result loudly. The four young men from the Gu family stood proudly in the center of the fighting arena, listening to the cheers from all directions with a smile.
Gu Qing, who was in the lead, sheathed his sword. When he smiled, he had two dimples on his cheeks, which made him look quite cute.
"It's worthy of being the Gu family's Liuyun sword technique, it's truly extraordinary." Lan Jue praised like this, but his eyes fell on Gu Congxing.
Zhong Ming took Gu Congxing's arm and said, "I think their swordsmanship is not as good as my brother's. They only have light and agile moves, but lack some decisiveness and power."
Gu Congxing shook his head and said, "I left the Gu family at the age of fourteen and have never been back. My Liuyun Sword Technique is still stuck at the sixteenth form and I haven't mastered it in its entirety."
There are eighteen moves in Liuyun Sword Technique. It is said that the last move has the ability to split mountains and cut off water, but Gu Congxing has never seen Gu Mingting use it.
After hearing this, Lan Jue fell silent, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Just as Gu Congxing was about to get up and leave, Lan Jue called him.
"From the stars."
Gu Congxing and Zhong Ming turned around and heard Lan Jue say softly, "You've been away from home for several years. Why don't you take this opportunity to go back and see your family?"
"They must have missed you too."
Gu Congxing opened his mouth and wanted to blurt out: "They don't care about me."
But his lips moved, and finally closed, his eyes looking at the crimson-purple ocean opposite.
***
Three days later, in the evening.
The team battle was over, Gu Congxing hurried out of the house, but was met with a broad embrace.
"Oh my, so anxious, where is Cong Xing going?"
Hearing the unexpected voice, Gu Congxing looked up in surprise, only to see Yao Qi with a hearty smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Yao?" Gu Congxing took a step back. "I was just about to go look for someone. What's going on?"
Yaoqi has a strong physique and well-developed chest muscles. Gu Congxing couldn't help but feel a little envious when he recalled the feeling just now.
"I'm here to give you some good news."
Yao Qi summoned a dark blue jade token: "Because you performed well in the team battle, you can start directly from the quarterfinals in the individual battle. And-"
The jade token flew into Gu Congxing's arms, with the word "Xing" written on it.
"What a coincidence! Your first opponent is me!"
Yao Qi had a playful smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Gu Congxing raised his eyebrows and said, "That's perfect! I can spar with you tomorrow!"
"Don't let me down, let's fight it out!"
The two men bumped fists, and Gu Congxing said goodbye to him and flew to the peak where the Gu family lived on his sword.
He looked at the warm yellow lights lighting up one after another in the twilight, paused for a moment, and finally moved forward.
Four years, he hasn't been back to Gu's for four years.
Lan Jue said he wanted to see his family, but now Gu Congxing’s only direct relative in the world is Gu Mingting.
Ever since he broke the Phoenix Feather, was locked up in the Punishment Tower, and was fed a mind-destroying pill, he had long lost the pure admiration and trust he once had for Gu Mingting. After being taken to the Qingxuan Sword Sect by his master, he had never gone back to see him.
Even after feeding him the mind-destroying pill, Gu Mingting's attitude towards him had become much more intimate.
Even if Gu arranged a marriage for him, she would cancel it soon after hearing that he didn't want to.
Gu Congxing walked slowly, his heart beating faster and faster in his chest.
Perhaps, Gu Mingting still cares about him very much.
His mind was swirling with thoughts, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the small courtyard at the top of the mountain. This place was decorated in the most elegant and luxurious style, and it must be where Gu Mingting lived.
Gu Congxing walked out of the courtyard, but suddenly felt a little homesick. He reached out his hand very slowly towards the door handle, but then retracted it.
"...What are you afraid of? Could Gu Mingting really eat me?" Gu Congxing said this in his heart, and finally stretched out his hand resolutely -
"Brother Mingting!"
Suddenly, a clear and crisp call came from the yard, and Gu Congxing's hand stopped.
"Oh? Xiaoqing is here. Why are you standing in the yard? Come here quickly."
After four years, when I heard Gu Mingting's voice again, it had become much gentler.
Unfortunately, it was said to someone else.
"Brother Mingting, since we won the last team battle, I can directly start the duel from the top eight."
"Xiaoqing is indeed very powerful."
Two people were talking and laughing in the yard, while Gu Congxing stood outside the yard, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
He listened to the two men talking for a long time, then moved his feet, intending to leave.
"Come to think of it, I might face Gu Congxing this time. He's so powerful, Brother Mingting, please teach me some new skills quickly, and don't let me lose too badly."
Gu Congxing wanted to turn around, but stopped when he heard this.
The voices in the courtyard fell silent. Gu Congxing knew that he should not have any more unnecessary expectations, but he still stayed there silently.
Then he heard Gu Mingting's chuckle.
"That guy is no match for you."
Gu Congxing blinked his eyes and slowly ruminated on these words. His limbs gradually stiffened in the cold wind on the top of the mountain, but the fire in his heart burned fiercely, rushing to the top of his head.
The sound of brothers laughing and playing with each other could be heard again in the courtyard. A golden light flashed through Gu Cong's starry eyes, and his spiritual power suddenly burst out.
"Bang!"
The courtyard door was suddenly pushed open and hit the wall heavily.
Gu Congxing grinned, stared at the two silent figures, and walked into the yard.
"——Who's inferior to whom?"
