"Watch closely!" Fan Zifan patted Qiao Yu's shoulder with a look of satisfaction. "Your master needs to get serious. Hurry up and try to comprehend what you can as soon as possible."
Qiao Yu nodded; he was numb.
During this time, Master Fan said many things like this, but each time, he only saw his master teasing Master Shan.
Is this a duel between masters?
Is this a return to simplicity?
Qiao Yu was puzzled, but felt that asking would make her seem too stupid.
Therefore, whenever Fan Zifan repeated these kinds of words, he would nod vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, just to prove that he was truly respecting his teacher.
"Can you understand it?" Huo Yongfei asked him.
"..." Qiao Yu was deflated.
Rumble
Boom
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and people tumbled and fell on the ground.
Wen Jingge lay horizontally on the ground, a wicked smile on his face. The Gouchen Sword flew out again, circling around the formation, flashing lightning as it slashed down, a truly magnificent sight.
"..." Shan Hongxing frowned slightly as he looked at the people trapped in his formation. There seemed to be no thunder and lightning last night. Could it be that he drew it wrong?
He looked at the arc of electricity with some concern, unsure whether to approach or retreat, and even more worried about how Wen Jingge would get out.
Who knew that Wen Jingge would look at the Gouchen Sword without a care in the world and say, "A sword cannot be made into a weapon without being cleaved. It has indeed improved a bit more."
Shan Hongxing: ...
"You brat!" she yelled at Qiao Yu. "You need to really understand this. In the face of absolute power, everything else is meaningless. This is what your teacher wants to teach you."
Qiao Yu took a deep breath. Master, has Master finally acknowledged him?
You can't show him any affection, don't forget it's out of character (OOC).
Wen Jingge showed no sense of urgency whatsoever. "Don't worry, he'll give up soon."
"None" fell silent. As for Wen Jinge, he beckoned with his finger, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of his sword flew straight toward Shan Hongxing.
"With your meager cultivation level, how can you possibly fight me?"
A wave of shock washed over Shan Hongxin.
Within the sect, only Wen Jingge possessed strength above the third rank. As an old rival, he could tell during recruitment that she was only at the fifth rank. He also heard that her memories had faded somewhat after leaving the Burning Heaven Sect, which must have been due to the damage to her cultivation during her trip to the Burning Heaven Sect.
He shouldn't have suspected the big commotion yesterday, but Wen Jingge has been too quiet since she came back, which is unusual.
Wen Jingge provoked him first, and he happened to have some doubts in his heart, so he had no choice but to use the formation to anger her and see her reveal her true form.
However, before revealing her true form, she displayed the strength of a second-grade cultivator.
How is that possible?!
While dodging the shockwaves from Gouchen, he watched Wen Jingge dance with her fingers within the formation. Their exchange was like teasing a cat.
Without a doubt, he is the cat.
Cats are happy when you tease them because they have their owners' company.
But Shan Hongxing had to use all his strength, otherwise his life and fortune would be in danger.
He could sense that Wen Jingge harbored murderous intent towards him.
bang
bang bang bang
The distant mountains seemed to explode one after another, sending sand and stones flying and a fierce wind howling...
Both layers of the barrier set up by Fan Zifan were broken, but fortunately Huo Yongfei repaired it in time, which prevented Qiao Yu from being blown away as well.
"Sect Leader, aren't my spirit stones going to go down the drain?" He was extremely frustrated, placing all his hopes on Qiao Yu, and pitifully wiped away imaginary tears. "Good nephew, please help your master, please let your master lose, okay?"
Qiao Yu: ...
He stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. He looked at Huo Yongfei for help, but suddenly clutched his stomach and squatted down. The words he was about to say changed: "Sect Master Uncle, I, I'm hot."
"..." Fan Zifan blinked, wondering if she had misheard.
Huo Yongfei glanced at him, his expression hardening. "Cross your legs and meditate!"
Qiao Yu obediently did as she was told, but then the scene of being carried into the air by the man in black robes came back to her mind, and she slowly calmed down.
"My goodness!" Fan Zifan rubbed his face, incredulously saying, "Is a born sword prodigy really that terrifying? To suddenly achieve enlightenment like that."
"The main reason is that his master was willing to fight such a battle. If it were someone else, they might never see how a second-grade master makes a move in their entire life."
“But…” Fan Zifan hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “Isn’t Wen Xiaowu only able to use the fifth rank?”
"Senior brother, don't look at me like that. Junior Brother Ai asked me for medicine, and when I heard it was for Wen Xiaowu, I naturally ignored him. He then told me the whole story."
Huo Yongfei looked anxious; the fewer people who knew about this, the better. "Who else knows?"
"Now it seems that among the six of us, only Song Huan, that idiot, doesn't know. However, he does know about Wen Xiaowu's amnesia. I told him not to bother people. When Master was alive, he only said that she would change. Who knows if this change is good or bad?"
"Then you still dared to gamble with her."
"Isn't this a case of 'fortune favors the bold'?" He chuckled, "Hey? What's wrong with Wen Xiaowu?"
Gou Chen Sword went to assassinate Shan Hongxing, and Wen Jinge fell in the formation.
"Pfft!" She spat out a mouthful of blood, extinguishing the lightning surrounding the Dharma image. "It hurts so much."
[You reap what you sow!]
"You heartless little thing." She lay on the ground like a severely disabled person, only her fingers and eyes could move. "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it to become an arrogant and domineering villain so that you can get rid of this problem sooner?"
The answer is "it does not exist."
"Master!" Qiao Yu nervously helped her up, but when she saw Wen Jinge staring at her clothes, she hesitated and handed her over to Huo Yongfei. "I'm sorry, Master."
