Looking at the trace of Qu Chenlu gradually disappearing from the scene, Yuchi Chen stretched out his tone, "Oh, what a good combination of talisman formation and dual cultivation."
Mo Qingshan's eyebrows moved slightly, and without saying a word, he turned and left the stands.
Yuchi Chen's hearty laughter came from under the straw hat. After a moment, he stood up with the support of his normal leg, hunched over, and disappeared into the crowd with Mo Qingshan, one short and the other short.
Tu Nian and Song Chengming returned to Jixue in disappointment. Only two people in the sect were waiting for them.
"Two miserable faces."
Seeing them come back, Chu Qiurong couldn't help but complain. Xu Ziqiao leaned aside, folded his arms, and looked at them with a look of disgust, "What an ugly loss."
"Yeah, I know."
Tu Nian covered his face with one hand and couldn't say anything to refute.
Although she intended to slack off, she was still trying to help Song Chengming. The two of them didn't even get second place. It's conceivable what a disastrous outcome this was.
"Blame it on me."
Not to mention Song Chengming. As the main executor of the plan, the strength of the plan is directly linked to his cultivation. At this moment, he and Tu Nian reacted in unison. All the laziness he had shown in his previous cultivation turned into a boomerang today, hitting his handsome forehead.
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
Holding Xu Ziqiao's head down with one hand and rubbing the back of Tu Nian's head with the other, Chu Qiurong coaxed her, "Third place isn't bad either. I'll get it back for you in tomorrow's swordsmanship competition."
The place where his palm was rubbing felt a reassuring warmth, and Tu Nian felt relieved and smiled, "As expected of a senior brother, you are really reliable."
Watching the drama of the affection between the senior and junior brothers, Song Chengming felt even more sad.
Junior brother is like a worn-out shoe, like a worn-out shoe.
"Don't you have something to tell her?" Xu Ziqiao was also annoyed by the two people's chattering, and reminded Chu Qiurong impatiently.
"Oh, yes."
Chu Qiurong realized the serious matter and took out a cloth bag from her bosom and handed it to Tu Nian, "After you went on stage, Ding Rong went back to her residence on the pretext of something. I asked San'er to follow her and found this in her room."
“This isn’t…”
Tu Nian took the cloth bag and looked at Song Chengming in surprise. The latter said with certainty, "There's no doubt about it. This is the cloth bag that Ding Rong got that day."
Putting her hand on Xu Ziqiao's shoulder, Chu Qiurong said with a smile, "Don't look at San'er, who only knows how to use violence. His attainments in illusion are slightly better than mine."
"You need to tell me that?"
After waving Chu Qiurong away, Xu Ziqiao turned his head and hugged his arms again, revealing half of his face with a slightly disdainful look.
"Illusion... Junior Brother Xu is amazing."
Although Song Chengming was considered an elder in the sect, his understanding of Xu Ziqiao was limited to his exceptionally gifted fire-attributed spiritual roots and his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation. As for the fact that he also knew advanced techniques such as illusion, he knew absolutely nothing about it.
She didn't even know about Tu Nian's perspective. First, she was sure that in the script before Xu Ziqiao's death, there had never been an entry about being able to cast illusions. Second, "How could someone who could cast illusions be captured and thrown into the dungeon?"
She was skeptical about the authenticity of the news.
Chu Qiurong spread her hands and told the truth with a hint of helplessness, "San'er thinks illusions are opportunistic and are never used in battle."
Tu Nian chuckled briefly and glanced at Xu Ziqiao subtly, "No wonder."
It's typical not to wear thermal underwear when it's cold, and it's not at all inappropriate for someone like Xu Ziqiao to do this.
Meeting her meaningful gaze, Xu Ziqiao immediately flew into a rage and stamped his foot, "How many times do you want me to tell you that I was ambushed?"
"It was an ambush, so the defense was broken by several sect guards?" Tu Nian was not panicked at all, and lightly added another knife.
Xu Ziqiao's defense was truly broken this time. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed out with his spiritual power, which had recovered more than half. "Don't stop me, I want to deal with her!"
Chu Qiurong couldn't help but try to stop him, "I'm just kidding. Why are you getting mad at a girl..."
"Bang!"
When the face and hand touched, there was a crisp sound, which made the three grown men present stunned.
In this scene, it is more accurate to say that Xu Ziqiao was slapped by Tu Nian, as the former bumped his face into the latter's hand. It was just that the sound that made such a vivid image was unexpected. However, after a closer look, everyone was relieved. There was a stack of talismans sandwiched between Tu Nian's hand and Xu Ziqiao's face.
"What is that?" Xu Ziqiao stepped back and tore off the talisman paper in front of his eyes, looking towards Tu Nian with a drooping face.
Tu Nian calmly opened the cloth bag in his hand and said as he studied it, "From now on, whenever I go out to fight, I'll take this with me."
"Vajra Talisman?" Song Chengming, who knew the value of things, widened his eyes.
"Hmm." Tu Nian nodded.
"Such a thick stack!"
Tu Nian was too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense. In Bo Qiu's words, this was pure inexperience.
"What Vajra Talisman?" Xu Ziqiao muttered as he flipped through the book, nodding his shoulder to Chu Qiurong, who was also a sword cultivator. "Have you seen it?"
Chu Qiurong pinched her chin and thought for a while, "It seems to be used for self-defense."
Seeing Xu Ziqiao still looking at the talismans, he said calmly: "Since Junior Sister gave it to you, just keep it."
"trouble."
Xu Ziqiao complained, but his hands were sorting out the stack of talismans one by one, and then put them back on his body.
Why is tsundere so popular in this script?
Tu Nian took in his reaction and thought to himself, while reminding him, "The trouble is yet to come. After the competition, you have to learn how to draw that talisman."
Then Xu Ziqiao came again, raised his eyebrows, and put on a cold face at her, "I won't."
"I knew you would say that."
Tu Nian said as he placed the cloth bag he had just identified into the mustard seed. He turned and smiled at him, "So I've already asked Master for permission. Master said that if you refuse, you'll be forced to live in the back mountains and never be allowed to see Senior Brother again."
"you--"
With his lifeblood being held, Xu Ziqiao clenched his fist and gestured at her, "Despicable!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
After casually answering the child, Tu Nian called out to the other two, "Go back first. The things in the bag have been touched."
Chu Qiurong was shocked and quickly followed her, saying, "How is this possible? She hasn't even been near us in the past two days."
"Perhaps, she hasn't had time to act yet, or perhaps, her target is someone else."
Tu Nian's eyelids drooped, and he took out a few brand new talismans from the mustard seeds and distributed them to everyone. "In any case, no matter what the situation is, we will probably know tonight. If we delay for another day, even if she can wait, her master cannot."
Su Youzhi is going to compete in the swordsmanship competition. If she fails today, how can she be the winner in the competition?
After returning to their residence, several people went back to their rooms as agreed in advance, used the substitute talisman prepared by Tu Nian to leave a dummy in the room, then climbed out of the window and squatted in the bushes at the front door and the woods in the backyard.
