Luo Jianqing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you really going to bet so big?"
Xie Zizhuo said mysteriously, "Let's bet on this. But Brother Luo, if you lose... I want the jade ox comb you use every day."
Luo Jianqing's mouth twitched: "..."
Xie Zizhuo saw his senior brother's look that said, "Are you a pervert?" and immediately waved his hand to clarify, "It's not what I want, it's my junior sister. Senior brother, you know that my junior sister has been in love with you since she was a child. I recently asked her to refine a very difficult third-grade elixir for me, and she said she would never refine it unless you asked her in person. I thought that was absolutely impossible, so I bargained with her and she was willing to exchange it for your jade ox comb."
Luo Jianqing: "...How could Junior Sister possibly want my Jade Ox Comb?"
Xie Zizhuo's eyes widened as he said in disbelief, "How is it impossible? If it weren't for the numerous restrictions on Yuxiao Peak that prevented Junior Sister from ascending, believe it or not, she could have climbed up Yuxiao Peak in the middle of the night to spy on you!"
Luo Jianqing: "..."
Xie Zizhuo was still talking non-stop, clearly referring to his wretched and perverted Junior Sister, but he didn't show any disdain at all. Instead, he sighed with pride, "Junior Sister is truly a person of character. If I had half her courage, I would have gone to Cangshuang Peak every day."
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing smiled silently, but a bitter feeling gradually spread in his heart.
The junior sister had been close to him since childhood, and at her coming-of-age ceremony, she had vowed that she would never marry anyone but him. Yet, in the end, she married Li Xiuchen, becoming his first wife. Such a proud and headstrong junior sister probably never imagined her husband would marry nine other women. It was said that the junior sister later generously cared for Li Xiuchen alongside the other sisters, but Luo Jianqing couldn't imagine such a scenario.
That was the person who, under the blazing sun, held a heavenly-grade elixir in hand and proudly said to him, "Luo Jianqing, I am the direct descendant of Qinglan Peak's eldest disciple. With me, you will have an endless supply of elixirs in your lifetime. Don't regret it." That person, dressed in a fiery red, actually fell in love with Li Xiuchen in the end?
——Because he saved the beauty! Because he was poisoned by lust!
How could Heaven be unfair? Heaven's fairness was only to Li Xiuchen!
A trace of sadness slowly crept across his fair, handsome face, then vanished in an instant. Luo Jianqing stared at Li Xiuchen with a complicated gaze. Somehow, he casually said, "Okay, if he loses, I'll give you my jade ox comb."
Xie Zizhuo was still trying to persuade her earnestly, occasionally dragging Wei Qiongyin into the conversation, saying things like, "Going to accompany Senior Sister Wei is a rather scary thing. Senior Brother Luo, it's absolutely worth it for you to trade the Jade Ox Comb with me for this." When he heard that Luo Jianqing actually agreed, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself and looked towards the arena excitedly.
But the next second——
The tall man Xu Hua suddenly clutched his stomach and said, "Ah... It hurts! Judge... Senior Brother, can you wait a quarter of an hour?"
referee:"……"
Li Xiuchen: “…”
Jie Zizhuo was stunned: "..."
Luo Jianqing was completely speechless: "..."
Although he had long guessed that Tiandao's heart was leaning towards the other end of the continent, could he not be so biased?
Li Xiuchen's first fight ended with his opponent having a stomachache, and he won without fighting!
In Li Xiuchen's second fight, the opponent just made a move when he suddenly sprained his waist, so he won without a fight!
Li Xiuchen's third fight was against Liu Xiaoxiao. As soon as Liu Xiaoxiao hit Li Xiuchen's arm, Li Xiuchen howled in pain. Liu Xiaoxiao was so scared that she quickly withdrew her attack and timidly asked, "Brother Chen, are you okay?", and then was subdued by Li Xiuchen.
The onlookers: "..."
Luo Jianqing sighed: "..."
Jie Zizhuo was filled with grief and indignation: "This is unfair! This is luck! This is all luck!"
Luo Jianqing shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Junior brother, for those of us who practice immortality, luck has always been strength."
Xie Zizhuo stared at the arena with gritted teeth and said viciously, "There are only three people left, and the other two are all descendants of the eight great families. I just don't believe that one of them has a first-grade root bone and the other has a second-grade root bone, and they can't be compared to a brat with no root bone at all."
In Li Xiuchen's fourth match, he happened to draw the lot to be exempted from fighting, so he naturally won without fighting.
Xie Zizhuo, with tears streaming down his face: "..."
The crowd below the ring was filled with murmurs, many pointing in Li Xiuchen's direction. The little girl, Liu Xiaoxiao, kept rubbing her aching chest, no longer sitting close to her brother Chen. Li Xiuchen's palm struck her hard. Although she was young and only knew how to rely on the familiar Li Xiuchen, she was not ignorant.
Li Xiuchen's palm strike wasn't actually that painful, but she was very sad, and her pretty little face was full of sadness.
The result was identical to his previous life. Li Xiuchen once again placed second in the inter-peak competition, destined to become an inner disciple. Upon receiving this result, Li Xiuchen beamed with joy, muttering proudly, "This is the protagonist's halo! This is so cool! Hehehehehe."
Luo Jianqing looked at Li Xiuchen's smug expression, his heart aching with complex emotions. After staring for a long moment, he slowly cracked a smile. He looked up at the vast sky, as if he could see something eternal through the azure sky. A gentle smile graced his delicate, beautiful face.
This time it’s still second place, but something is different.
In his previous life, when Li Xiuchen finished second, the disciples in the audience were filled with admiration. A rookie with no talent for aptitude shone brightly on the stage, even becoming the only disciple to successfully cultivate Qi. Such an inspiring feat was truly admirable. Many also knew that this disciple had just lost his childhood sweetheart, and they sympathized with him.
