After slamming Bo Qiu onto the table and guzzling half a cup of cold tea, Tu Nian let out a long sigh and sat down at the table. "Tell me, what's the matter that's so urgent for me to hide back here?"
Bo Qiu jumped up from the table lightly and said, "You have to hold back a bit in the upcoming competition."
His words seemed to be irrelevant to the question. Tu Nian sighed and raised an eyebrow. "Brother Jian, when you give me instructions, can't you be more clear? Every time you just give me instructions without explaining why, it makes me feel so embarrassed."
Bo Qiu said calmly and confidently, "I thought you didn't care about these things."
Tu Nian blinked, "I remember that the blood hasn't been fed yet?"
“…”
You can't use some new tricks, right? But what can I do? I still fall for it.
Bo Qiu was amused, but he didn't hesitate to speak. He quickly said, "You've been targeted. If you continue to show off, Tushan's background will be exposed."
Tu Nian felt a chill down his spine, and his attitude immediately straightened up. "Who is it? Is it serious?"
You must know that without Tushan's protection, Tushan, who was alone, appeared in the sight of a cultivator, which was like a sheep walking into a pack of wolves. There was no other possibility except being eaten alive.
Fortunately, Bo Qiu's attitude was not too nervous, and he calmed Tu Nian down with just two words. "I've observed that person, he didn't come for you. Besides, we discovered it early, so even if we are being targeted, we are still only in the suspicion stage. As long as you keep a low profile in the next competition and don't reveal your talisman cultivation ability, you will be fine."
"That's good."
Tu Nian gasped and patted his chest, then came to his senses and slapped his thigh angrily, "No, but why?"
She would be exposed for getting a result. If Tushan’s influence was really that great, could their clan have been exterminated back then?
Bo Qiu explained slowly, "Your strength is indeed nothing special. The key lies in the formation you used in the last battle."
He paused, a hint of mischief in his tone, "The formation is a modified Vajra Talisman, right?"
As he said this, Bo Qiu's crystal-clear sword was leaning against the table facing her. Tu Nian didn't know why, but when she heard these words, it was as if she saw a meaningful face smiling at her. Then her ears felt hot and she turned her head away guiltily.
"You said it was modified. It's naturally different from the Diamond Talisman. Besides, when I used that formation, even my opponent didn't notice it. Who knew it would be seen by others?"
“Don’t run away from problems.”
Tu Nian was still thinking about cheating, but Bo Qiu wouldn't let her. The hilt of his sword jumped, and he turned her head back to square. His cold voice echoed in her ear, "I told you not to use Tushan's talismans and formations. But you're trying to apply the talisman's operation method to the formation. Isn't that blinding?"
"Oh," Tu Nian said, pushing Bo Qiu away with a hint of embarrassment, "I've already used all my strength. If you have the time to scold me, you might as well think about what to do next."
Bo Qiu was helpless and said, "What else can we do? Just do as I said and keep a low profile."
Tu Nian said with a bitter face, "But if I don't perform well in the talisman competition, can Song Chengming alone do it?"
"It has to work even if it doesn't work."
Bo Qiu said earnestly, "Revitalizing the sect is important, but it's far less important than your life."
Tu Nian didn't want to, but had to admit that what he said made sense.
So after thinking for about a cup of tea, she propped up her cheeks and began to mutter incoherently, "But how should I explain this to Master..."
What a sin! Every day I'm wavering between telling lies and making up stories.
Tu Nian sometimes wonders when she can be a pure, innocent, and kind little white flower like a normal heroine?
At the same time, the viewing terrace was in an abnormal state of excitement.
With their strength and level, these competitions in the competition are really child's play. Therefore, they are always the most boring ones in all the previous competitions.
Aside from some exceptionally talented players worthy of discussion, the rest of the time, all they could do was engage in idle chatter. It could be said that Tu Nian was the undisputed hero in fostering such a lively atmosphere.
"It seems that there are no more interesting players among the formation cultivators this year." After watching Tu Nian compete in several mediocre matches, Tai Shu Linglong said with a regretful tone.
There aren't many powerful formation masters in Danyang, so their comments on this kind of trivial project are particularly light.
"If you want to see something interesting, you have to ask Sect Leader Xue?" Not to mention Zhong Ming, who is the last one in every aspect and can say anything.
Jiang Jingyi glanced around and asked with a smile, "What did you say, Brother Xue? Do you have a backup plan?"
"Brother Jiang, please don't laugh at me. There are only a few people scattered in my sect. How can we have a backup plan?"
Although Xue Shiqian answered calmly, he actually had a lot on his mind.
Not to mention Jiang Jingyi and Zhong Ming, Taishu Linglong, to put it in a positive way, is careless and doesn't care about details. To put it in a bad way, he is just making trouble out of nothing and trying to join in the fun.
He intentionally kept the topic of his own family, clearly avoiding discussing Tu Nian. However, Taishu Linglong seemed to not understand him at all and immediately followed up, "Sect Master Xue, this is not a matter of backing up. Those disciples are all outstanding. It's a pity that they are not as outstanding as Yan Chen's direct disciple."
"I didn't know that Sect Master Nie's disciple had such a skill."
If Taishu Linglong was gossiping and causing trouble, then Yuzhe's words were obviously directed at her.
His attitude towards Tu Nian has always been disdainful.
In his eyes, only someone like Su Youzhi, a master of exceptional Wind Spiritual Roots, was qualified to be his disciple. One could even say that the biggest flaw in his life was accepting Tu Nian, a pseudo-spiritual root who couldn't even break through the Foundation Establishment stage, as his personal disciple. This was completely inconsistent with his talent and achievements.
However, Tu Nian, who had left him, has now become the champion in the competition?
He couldn't understand it, let alone accept it. His heart was touched, but rather than regret, he would rather attribute it to strong disgust.
"They are just small things. If you want to know your strength, my beloved disciple still needs to study hard and practice diligently."
Nie Yanchen's attitude was equally clear, and could be described in just two words: perfunctory.
Ever since the competition with Tu Nian ended, there had been endless discussions about her on the terrace, but he had brushed them off.
Cultivation? Average; Age? I don't remember; Origin? Ordinary. He would answer like this if anyone dared to ask.
Although this caused some dissatisfaction, it was clearly very efficient. Most people, having hit a snag with him, tactfully stopped asking questions. Of the ten people on the terrace, there was absolutely no one else like Taishu Linglong.
The topic was casually brought up again, and Tai Shu Linglong was really unwilling to give up. She wanted to ask a few more questions, but the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note in Nie Yanchen's arms lit up at this moment.
"Feel sorry."
After reading the contents of the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note, Nie Yanchen immediately stood up and said, "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I will be leaving first. Please forgive me."
After saying this, he left the terrace without waiting for anyone else to respond.
