The third candy
The next day.
At dawn, Zhao Shuangyi just opened the door and was startled by the two people hanging at the door.
He thought someone was dead again! But when he looked closely, he found that the two men's chests were still rising and falling. They were the people he had sent out yesterday to follow Wu Simiao.
"An unruly person!" Zhao Shuangyi's face turned ugly.
The young leader and the steward were walking over when they heard Zhao Shuangyi's angry shout. They quickened their pace and came to Zhao Shuangyi's side. Seeing the two people hanging at Zhao Shuangyi's door, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, they gasped. The steward quickly put them down. The two people were still unconscious after falling to the ground. Thinking that something was wrong, the steward whispered to Zhao Shuangyi, "Leader, do you want to see a doctor?"
"No need to go through so much trouble." The young leader noticed something, walked into Zhao Shuangyi's room, and poured a cup of overnight tea. He stood in front of the two of them, flicked his wrist, and the cold water in the teacup hit their faces like a slap, which would wake up even the deepest sleepers instantly.
The two men suddenly opened their eyes, with fatigue still in their eyes. They looked blankly at the young leader Zhao Shuangyi in front of them, and had not yet realized where they were.
Zhao Shuangyi's expression became increasingly grim. He whispered to the housekeeper, "Find someone to keep an eye on this courtyard. Don't let anyone from other sects know about this."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded and took someone to guard the door.
At this time, the two people lying on the ground slowly woke up. They looked at where they were and were surprised.
"Alliance Leader..."
The two men subconsciously clasped their fists, but at the same time, they groaned. They felt a pain in their shoulders. The young leader realized something and stepped forward to pull open their collars. He saw a blue mark on each of their shoulders, and in the center of the mark was a poisonous insect bite.
Poisonous insects are rare in Xiuxi Villa, and few in the righteous martial arts circles would raise them, except...
“It’s her indeed!”
The two men hadn't realized who had done it yet. They only heard Zhao Shuangyi say to them, "Go back and rest first. I'll have a doctor come to treat you. Put everything aside for a few days and take care of your health first."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, leader."
"It should be."
After the people left and their backs could no longer be seen, the young leader said, "That witch's actions were too provocative!" He frowned, his face grim. Daring to send poisonous insects to bite people showed that the witch didn't even want to hide. "How can the Wulin Alliance tolerate her presumptuous behavior!"
"Then what are you planning to do? Are you saying that the people you sent out were discovered by the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult and were hung on the door of my room as a protest. Or are you saying that with such a big commotion, the Wulin Alliance was as dead as a dead body, but no one noticed it?" Zhao Shuangyi asked back in a cold voice.
Even if they all knew who was responsible, so what? Having someone keep an eye on the demonic woman was fine, but being easily spotted and then being caught was even more humiliating.
They can only admit defeat first.
"Dad, are we just going to let her go like this?"
Zhao Shuangyi glanced at the young leader without answering, but said, "Your top priority right now is to win the championship of the martial arts conference. The rest is none of your concern."
The young leader looked at his father, angry but unable to say anything more, he could only respond: "Son knows."
On the other side, Wu Simiao appeared at the competition scene again with Li Fengyi, feeling refreshed. She no longer felt bored watching the competition, and was even in a good mood to observe the expressions of Zhao Shuangyi and the young leader leisurely.
Zhao Shuangyi is a shrewd man who never shows his true colors on the surface. After arriving at the scene, he even asked the martial arts heroes with concern how they rested last night.
Although the young leader tried hard to keep his eyes from falling on Wu Simiao, he still couldn't help glaring at her.
Facing the young leader's vicious expression, Wu Simiao looked back without hesitation, revealing a smile that said, "What can you do to me?"
The young leader instantly raised his hand and grabbed the handle of the chair to control his emotions.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that old ginger is still wise." Wu Simiao came close to Li Fengyi and whispered sarcastically.
Last night, when Wu Si Miao returned to her room, Li Fengyi knew what she had done. She did not stop Wu Si Miao, but only whispered a reminder: "Don't be too arrogant. Zhao Shuangyi is not a tolerant person."
"At worst, he can go to the Demon Cult to arrest me." Wu Simiao didn't care. "I don't have to follow your rules."
Li Fengyi shook his head and said nothing more, but a hint of subtle emotion flashed across his eyes.
The one fighting on the stage at this moment was the young leader.
Although the young leader is shameless, his kung fu seems to be pretty good, and he won several rounds of competition in just ten moves.
Wu Simiao didn't watch all the competitions, but she didn't need to watch too much. The young leader's kung fu might be good, but because of his status, many people would be restrained when competing with him. The competition, which was originally a show, became even more grandiose. Wu Simiao felt that watching it any longer would spoil the fun.
The first round of the martial arts competition lasted for seven days, and fifty young talents were selected to enter the second round.
There will be a three-day break before the second round begins.
Even during his break, Li Fengyi still got up early to practice martial arts, with Wu Simiao watching from the side. It would be even better if there were no outsiders to cause trouble.
Wu Simiao thought so and looked at the uninvited young leader with an expressionless face.
For the past three days, the Young Alliance Leader had been coming here every morning, noon, and evening without fail, even more frequently than when he paid his respects to his father. Not only did he come, but he also made a big fuss each time. Rumors about him and Li Fengyi getting married were rampant, reaching Wu Simiao's ears.
Originally, Wu Simiao woke up as usual and went to see the end of Li Fengyi's martial arts practice, but after she lazily got up and found the young leader, she became as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood and was ready for battle at any time.
The young leader also seemed very considerate. He just came over to say hello and asked Li Fengyi if he needed anything in his courtyard and whether he was comfortable living there. As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person, and there was really no suitable reason to kick him out.
Only Wu Simiao looked at the young leader with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
Wu Simiao was already thinking about how to silently poison the young leader to death who didn't know how to read other people's faces.
As if sensing the cold gaze beside him, the Young Alliance Leader ordered someone to send tea to Li Fengyi. "This is the new Longjing tea from this spring. Bring it to the fairy to taste. If you like it, I will send you some more."
As he spoke, the young leader bowed politely, "It's almost lunch time, I won't disturb you."
"Thank you, Young Alliance Leader." Li Fengyi replied politely.
When the Young Alliance Leader heard Li Fengyi's words of no desire to stay, even though he tried to control his expression, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He had known that Li Fengyi was not easy to please, but he didn't expect that after running around for three days, the other party would not even say a polite word to stay for dinner.
He curled his lips slightly. Why did his father arrange such a marriage for him? Compared to Li Fengyi, he still liked...
"This is the new Longjing tea that was harvested this spring. It's autumn now, right? You don't know how to please people by sending them seasonal tea. Besides, he doesn't even know that you don't like tea at all." Wu Simiao looked at the young leader's back as he left and sneered in a sarcastic tone.
"Where do you get so angry?" Li Fengyi shook his head and casually tossed the Longjing tea. "If you can get so angry at people who have nothing to do with you, you should switch from the Demon Sect to the Spiritual Sect."
The Lingming Sect is a gang of gangsters, famous for their Qigong.
"Hey, you're still mocking me even though I'm speaking up for you." Wu Simiao frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why did you accept his things? Don't you already know he's not a good person? When I went to tie up the two men with me, I saw him sneaking into the courtyard of the Huanhua Sect again. You should have thrown the things in his face."
"You're right, but..." Li Fengyi nodded, but before she finished speaking, she looked at Wu Simiao's angry expression on her behalf, and then thought about the content of her words. If it were Wu Simiao, she would definitely do that, but she was Li Fengyi.
Li Fengyi blinked, suppressing the envy that had just emerged in his eyes, "Can I compete with you this afternoon?"
"Why would I compete with you?" Wu Simiao snorted, but the dissatisfaction in his voice was obviously much less, "There should be a prize."
Seeing that he was finally less angry, Li Fengyi smiled and asked, "What do you want to bet this time?"
"Just be prepared to lose." Wu Simiao said.
In the afternoon, in the courtyard.
Wu Simiao and Li Fengyi stood facing each other. The afternoon was quiet, without even the wind. Only unknown birds landed on the treetops. The branches trembled slightly, and a leaf slowly fell to the ground.
The two of them didn't need any words to say "let the competition begin". They looked at each other and started moving at the same time.
Wu Simiao pulled out a long whip from his waist. There was a diamond-shaped spike on the tail of the whip. Wu Simiao shook his wrist and the whip hit Li Fengyi's wrist.
Because of the competition, Li Fengyi didn't draw her sword. Seeing the long whip coming, she raised her sword to block it, then dodged forward. Wu Simiao immediately stepped back and pulled back the whip. The whip curved like it was alive and lashed straight at the back of Li Fengyi's neck.
Without even listening to the sudden sound of wind behind her, Li Fengyi could guess Wu Simiao's next move. She turned her body to the side and chased the whip with the sword in her hand. The whip wrapped around the scabbard, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a moment.
It stands to reason that a long whip would have some advantages against a sword, and the left-hand whip used by Wu Simiao is even more unpredictable, but these advantages are nothing when facing Li Fengyi.
Wu Simiao reacted quickly. When she couldn't get rid of the whip, she quickly moved forward and used her hand as a knife.
Li Fengyi and Wu Simiao exchanged dozens of single-handed moves, and the entanglement of sword and whip naturally loosened. Wu Simiao seized the opportunity and immediately separated the whip from the sword. Rescuing his whip, Wu Simiao retreated with light skills, and Li Fengyi chased after him with sword in hand.
Seeing that Wu Simiao was about to retreat to the wall with no way to retreat, she looked at the tree beside her and prepared to whip out her whip to find another opportunity, when an inappropriate applause rang out at the gate of the courtyard, "Fairy, your kung fu is amazing!"
Hearing the sound, Li Fengyi and Wu Simiao stopped what they were doing. Li Fengyi had his back to the door and couldn't see the person coming. Wu Simiao curled her lips at the uninvited guest who came to pay his respects at the door again, "What bad luck." She cursed in a low voice.
Li Fengyi put away his sword and turned around, only to see the young leader walking in with a smile, "If I had known it would affect your competition, I would have come later." Although the young leader said this, he did not apologize for disturbing them at all.
He continued, "I'm sorry to bother you again. I just thought you've been staying at the villa for a while and haven't been out much. Why don't I take you for a walk? If you don't want to go down the mountain, I'm very familiar with the mountain."
Li Fengyi's expression was indifferent, and he replied calmly: "I have been traveling frequently in recent years, but I rarely stop in one place."
"Yeah, look at me." The young leader was not discouraged by Li Fengyi's rejection, and said, "The fairy and the saint are fighting, and I feel itchy. Why don't you teach me a few moves?"
When the young leader said the last few words, his eyes were fixed on Li Fengyi, which made Wu Simiao feel a chill.
Wu Simiao came to Li Fengyi silently while she was talking to the Young Alliance Leader, took the sword from her hand, and held it in her arms. She listened to Li Fengyi and the Young Alliance Leader's feigned compromise and gently poked Li Fengyi's arm with the scabbard of her sword.
Li Fengyi: What?
Wu Simiao: Don’t stop me.
Li Fengyi pretended to be confused and raised his eyebrows: What are you stopping me for?
The two of them started a subtle quarrel.
Wu Simiao smiled and said: Just don’t stop me.
Li Fengyi showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes and nodded slightly.
