Chapter 51: Ci Jianfeng was scolded again. He didn’t take action before the competition, but…
Hua Shengqing's attention was immediately diverted upon hearing this, and she anxiously said, "Yes, Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother will have to shoulder more responsibilities for our Cijian Peak Qi Refining Stage competition. No, I need to go find Sixth Senior Brother for some more practice and help him consolidate his swordsmanship."
Qin Sangyue nodded and said, "Then go quickly!"
Wu Che never expected that even though the competition was right around the corner, he still couldn't relax at all.
Soon, the sound of ping-pong came from near Cijian Peak, mixed with curses and pleas for mercy. Qin Sangyue drank a sip of tea comfortably amidst such sounds. She finally understood the fun of her junior sister letting Hua Shengqing chase Wu Che to practice sword.
Early the next morning, everyone at Cijian Peak gathered tacitly at the gate of Qin Sangyue's yard. Qin Sangyue led everyone to the gate of Nan Sining to take a look, but there was still no movement.
"I left a mark. If Junior Sister comes out, she'll know we've gone to the main hall to participate in the competition." Qin Sangyue made a hand gesture and told everyone.
Everyone looked a little serious, even Wu Che, who was more talkative, and Hua Shengqing, who was more active on weekdays, had serious expressions at this moment. After listening to Qin Sangyue's words, everyone nodded.
Soon, everyone took off on their swords and flew towards the main hall.
As soon as we left Cijian Peak, we saw people flying on swords in various places on the peaks. They were all rushing to participate in the sect competition.
Most of them, like the people from Cijian Peak, looked serious, even worried and afraid.
However, there are a few who seem particularly confident, and their laughter can be heard from far away.
The people at Cijian Peak had no intention of listening, but their voices were so loud that the monks, who were already very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, heard everything at once:
"Look at the people at Cijian Peak. They look worried. I guess they know they're going to be embarrassed this time, so they're all scared, right?"
"I looked at Cijian Peak. Except for their senior sister, everyone else...tsk tsk..."
"Huh? I counted, and it seems there are only eight of them. Aren't there nine direct disciples in total?"
"Oh, that little fool isn't here! I guess they didn't dare bring him! That little fool actually murdered Junior Sister Luo and wanted to kill people and steal the treasure. If he went to the competition venue, wouldn't he become a target of public criticism?"
"But I heard that things don't seem that simple..."
The group said to Du Jia, "Don't listen to the nonsense people outside say. Didn't you see the miserable state that Junior Sister Luo was in when she returned to the sect?"
…
When Hua Shengqing heard the gossips of the male fellow practitioners, she was about to rush forward with her sword in hand, but was stopped by Wu Che.
"Sixth Senior Brother, what are you doing? Let me go! Let me teach those bastards a lesson!" Hua Shengqing was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and her phoenix eyes looked even more murderous.
Qin Sangyue gently struck her with the Heart-Clearing Technique and said, "Seventh Junior Sister, with the competition approaching, don't let my words affect your state of mind."
"But, how dare they tell such lies about Junior Sister! I'm going to rip their mouths off! Pull out their tongues!"
Hua Shengqing had been following his junior sister all the way and knew exactly what had happened. Thinking of how his junior sister had been misunderstood and abused, Hua Shengqing was so angry that he wanted to kill all those people! No matter what fellow disciples they were, anyone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and bullied his junior sister deserved to die!
Wu Che said, "Seventh Junior Sister, calm down. If Junior Sister were here, would she agree with you doing this?"
"This..." Hua Shengqing was stunned. Her junior sister would definitely not let her go.
Seeing that Hua Shengqing was somewhat persuaded, Wu Che hurriedly continued, "Junior Sister, you take the competition so seriously. If you are punished by the Discipline Hall to be sent to the forbidden area because of your current impulsive behavior and cannot participate in the competition, not only will Cijian Peak lose a great general, but Junior Sister will also be very worried."
Thinking of Nan Si Ning, Hua Shengqing slowly calmed down, and the anger on his face gradually faded. He sighed and said, "If Junior Sister were here, we wouldn't conflict with them openly, but we would definitely make things difficult for them behind their backs."
Wu Che already knew everything about Nan Si Ning's outrageous actions along the way.
Seeing that his seventh junior sister was really unable to bear this, Wu Che's eyes turned and he leaned over to Hua Shengqing's ear and whispered something.
Hua Shengqing's eyes lit up after hearing this: "If you had this idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Wu Che asked her to lower her voice, then said to Qin Sangyue, "Big Sister, Seventh Junior Sister and I will follow them to see which peak these disciples are from. They actually look down on our Cijian Peak so much. If we meet them in the competition later, we will make them suffer!"
As he said that, he jumped onto Hua Shengqing's sword. Liang Xiao just stretched out a hand to stop him, but the two men rushed out with a "whoosh".
Seeing Liang Xiao's arm still raised, Yuan Qing'an nodded with his jade flute and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, don't worry about them. Sixth Junior Brother and Seventh Junior Sister have made some progress recently and are much better than before. When someone comes to bully them, they don't foolishly go up and fight directly, but instead use roundabout methods."
Liang Xiao couldn't help but frown, feeling that his second senior brother's words were full of hidden meaning.
Yuan Qing'an smiled and turned his gaze to Wu Che and Hua Shengqing.
After Hua Shengqing flew over and saw the other person's face clearly, she shouted towards them, "Big Sister! They're from Yuandao Peak! They're the ones saying bad things about us at Cijian Peak!"
Hua Shengqing's voice was really loud. Not only could his senior brothers and sisters hear it, but his fellow disciples who were flying nearby could also hear it clearly. Many of them couldn't help laughing and had smirking expressions on their faces.
Some of them laughed too loudly accidentally, and were heard by the people from Yuan Daofeng.
The people from Yuandao Peak never imagined that the people from Cijian Peak would dare to come up to them and name-call them for saying bad things. The shame and embarrassment made them almost fall off their swords.
Hua Shengqing glared fiercely at the people from Yuan Daofeng. Seeing their flushed faces, she couldn't help but sneer. They had just been talking so hard about Ci Jianfeng behind his back, and now they felt embarrassed after being called out? As expected, those who believed in Luo Qingyao were just like her, both self-righteous and irresponsible.
Feeling Wu Che pinching her, Hua Shengqing took him and flew back to her senior brothers and sisters.
Seeing the two people return so quickly and Hua Shengqing not fighting with them, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did you rush over like this just to embarrass them?"
This is a bit inconsistent with Hua Shengqing's habits.
Hua Shengqing only hummed a syllable in response, but Wu Che responded seriously, "At this critical juncture, of course we should try not to fight. We should save our strength for the arena, right? Don't worry, Fourth Brother, we know everything!"
Liang Xiao couldn't help but frown again. Why did he feel that things were not that simple?
Yuan Qing'an glanced at Hua Shengqing and Wu Che for a few seconds, then glanced at Liang Xiao. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but it was obvious that he was in a very good mood, as if he understood what was going on.
Liang Xiao thought for a while and was about to ask again when he heard Yuan Qingan say, "Okay, we're here."
The square in front of the main hall was now filled with people, and it was crowded everywhere. In addition to the disciples, elders, and peak masters of the Canglan Sect, people from Yaowang City and the Beast Taming Sect were also here to join in the fun. So among the many Canglan Sect disciples, you could often see Yaowang City disciples in white robes, and occasionally some spirit beasts coming and going.
"It's so lively this year!" Hua Shengqing became happy all of a sudden when she saw this scene, and put what had just happened behind her.
After landing, Wu Che couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look around, and soon saw that the people from Yuan Daofeng had disappeared into the crowd.
"Sixth Junior Brother, what are you looking at?" Liang Xiao asked curiously.
Wu Che lied without hesitation: "Oh, I just wanted to see how fast those people could run after losing face. I didn't expect them to be so irresponsible and not even say a word of apology. How rude."
Liang Xiao: ...
Isn't this what Junior Junior Sister said? How did Sixth Junior Brother learn it?
"Hurry up and follow me, don't get lost."
"Oh, okay!"
After everyone at Cijian Peak figured out the layout of the venue, Qin Sangyue went to the position symbolizing the master of the peak, and the rest of the people were led by Yuan Qing'an and the others.
Zhou Lixing consciously went to the end, pushed Wu Che who had not kept up, and pulled Hua Shengqing who was a little excited, so that they would not be squeezed away by others.
There are not many disciples in Cijian Peak, so the area allocated to them is not large, but the advantage is that the view is good.
Hua Shengqing checked the spectator seats and confirmed that the place was indeed good and there were no messy pits. Then he said reluctantly, "It's passable. I can still be considered a human being."
Yuan Qing'an smiled and sat down, saying, "This time, the people from Medicine King City and the Beast Taming Sect are all here for Junior Sister. No matter what, they have to give our Cijian Peak some face, otherwise we will be laughed at by outsiders."
Hua Shengqing finally understood that there were so many twists and turns in the story!
Did the people in the sect originally intend to be non-human, and only became human for the sake of their own face?!
Hua Shengqing felt angry again.
Wu Che stuffed a handful of sugar-roasted pine nuts into her hand and said, "This is what Third Senior Brother made according to the recipe given by Junior Junior Sister. Come and try it!"
Hua Shengqing held the pine nuts and sighed, "I wonder how Junior Sister is doing on the peak all by herself."
"Junior sister must be fine! By the way, do you have this thing?" Wu Che took out something with round lenses.
Hua Shengqing took a look and shook his head: "It seems not."
"You should have this. This was prepared by Junior Sister. It's said that it can see very far away! It's not an exaggeration to say that it has clairvoyance!"
As he spoke, Wu Che started searching around with a telescope.
Hua Shengqing searched in her storage ring and actually found this thing.
The junior sister gave her so many things that she couldn't even remember what they were.
Hua Shengqing also looked around, and when she saw people hundreds of meters away, she could see them clearly. She exclaimed in amazement, "How amazing! I didn't expect our junior sister could even refine weapons! By the way, have you found the people from Yuan Dao Peak?"
Wu Che said, "It should be soon. Let me take another look... Yuan Daofeng's disciples' uniforms have yellow trim, so it should be easy to find... I found it! It's on our right!"
"Where are they?" Hua Shengqing also hurried over and saw Yuan Daofeng and the others whom he had just met.
"Is the medicine working?" Hua Shengqing couldn't help but ask.
Wu Che said, "It'll take a little while. Let's wait and see... Oh, their youngest junior brother has started to feel unwell. Hehe... the medicine must be taking effect!"
Hua Shengqing immediately looked over and saw that the man looked uncomfortable. Just as she was about to smile, she caught sight of a white figure not far away. Her face immediately fell, "Why did I see her? What bad luck!"
