The next day.

In the bustling and crowded competition arena, Gu Yangyang arrived late.

She spent a long time last night studying how to use silver needles, which caused her to go to bed very late.

She stood in the crowd in a red dress. The disciples around her were unwilling to get close to her out of disgust and kept a distance of about one meter from her.

This made Gu Yangyang, who was already sleep-deprived, even more depressed.

Although this is the inevitable result after completing the mission, being hated like this would make anyone feel uncomfortable...

"Senior Sister, are you okay?" A deep voice fell into Gu Yangyang's ears, immediately dispelling all the sadness.

The slender figure of the young man stood beside her, holding a long sword.

Looking up from Gu Yangyang's perspective, she could see Ji Xiao's clear jawline and lowered dark eyes.

"I'm fine." Gu Yangyang answered deliberately stiffly, turned her head away, and looked like she was unwilling to pay attention to the other person.

Ji Xiao pursed his lips, and his handsome face, which was between an adult and a teenager, suddenly seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow, and the delicate features flickered.

A half-smiley look fell on the two of them.

He slightly turned his body inconspicuously to block the view of the girl who was watching him.

Because of his action, the gazes cast at him instantly turned cold, carrying with them a sense of oppression, spreading a chill around them.

There was even a cold gaze mixed in it, which made him frown.

The disciples around couldn't help but touch their arms and look at the bright sun above their heads.

Huh?

It's strange, the sun is so bright, but I feel a little cold...

Gu Yangyang, who was standing next to Ji Xiao, couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

She felt a chill coming from Ji Xiao beside her...

She bit her lips lightly and took a small step to the side.

Continue to focus your attention on the competition on the stage.

"......"

[Ding! Ji Xiao is dissatisfied +100]

[Ding! Ji Xiao's disgust +100]

[Ding! Ji Xiao's Darkness +100]

In the stands.

Jiang Zhisi, who had been paying attention to this side, saw this scene, and the gentle smile on his lips looked even gentler.

Jiang Ziqing, who was leaning on the chair on the other side, also raised his hand to cover his eyebrows.

The sadness and fragility in Peach Blossom's eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of pride and sneer!

......

"Next game, Gu Yangyang! Wen Xia!"

Gu Yangyang was slightly stunned when she heard the name.

Wen Xia?

The person she was fighting against was actually Wen Xia...

Gu Yangyang's gaze fell on the high competition stage. A young man as dazzling as the sun was already standing on the stage.

Seeing that she hadn't come up yet, he walked towards the crowd and gave her a clean and bright smile.

Gu Yangyang calmed herself down, maintained an expression of impatience and disdain on her face, and walked towards the stage.

The young man's calm and low voice came from behind: "Be careful..."

Jump onto the platform.

Looking at the familiar red figure, all the disciples stopped what they were doing and focused all their attention on the competition stage.

Wen Xia blinked her eyes, which were as bright as stars, and looked at Gu Yangyang happily and said, "Finally, I got to face my senior sister. All my efforts paid off."

Gu Yangyang couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind the words and just thought that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to compete with her.

A hint of sneer appeared on her face: "Who do you think you are? How dare you fight me! I advise you to admit defeat directly, or I will make you pay!"

The boy had a look of surprise on his face.

Then he clenched his fists again, and a look of disapproval and determination appeared on his clean and pure white face.

"Senior Sister, I know you don't want to hurt me, but I'm not afraid!"

"I am a cultivator, even though I am only an alchemy cultivator! But I also want to become stronger! I also want to be as powerful as my senior sister!"

The expressions of the people in the audience suddenly became subtle.

Ji Xiao's eyes darkened for a moment as he watched the situation on the stage.

After hearing Xia's words, Gu Yangyang felt very complicated.

She couldn't help but sigh at the innocence of little brother Wen Xia, and admired him for having such a determined and motivated character at such a young age.

"Oh! Wanting to become as powerful as me is just wishful thinking!" She snorted disdainfully, but a serious look appeared on her face.

Wen Xia noticed her subtle change in attitude and her eyes flickered.

His bright smile faded a little when he caught a glimpse of some of the most eye-catching people in the stands and the crowd.

[Ding! Wen Xia is dissatisfied +100]

[Ding! Wen Xia is disappointed +100]

[Ding! Wen Xia's jealousy +100]

[Ding! Wen Xia darkens +100]

Hearing the electronic feedback, Gu Yangyang wailed in his heart.

[Brother Wen Xia, I'm sorry! I'm guilty! I kowtow!]

Wen Xia moved his fingers slightly and moved his gaze to the girl's face which was full of disdain and arrogance.

The air around him seemed to be a little colder.

Several sharp, dissatisfied glances were directed at him.

He smiled, dazzlingly.

Pure white appearance, naive of worldly affairs.

"Sister, let's get started."

The boy was like a little white rabbit, and he quickly forgot his previous unhappiness. His pure mind made people feel good about him, and they couldn't help but relax and let him get closer.

Stroking a strand of hair left on her ear, Jiang Ziqing clenched the hairpin in her hand.

His eyes were cold and vicious.

Tsk.

Damn little white flower!

"Since you are so ungrateful, I will have no choice but to teach you a lesson!"

Gu Yangyang gritted her teeth, and with a "snap", she slammed the whip hard onto the ground!

Circulate the spiritual energy in your body and tap your toes lightly.

With a nimble posture, the fiery red whip was like a living snake, showing its fangs and biting towards the thin-looking boy!

【Get out of the way! 】

The long whip strikes with ferociousness and without mercy!

Wen Xia, who was standing there, turned slightly pale, as if he was frightened and forgot to dodge!

He stared blankly at the long whip that was swinging towards him, and a hint of fear appeared in his bright starry eyes!

【Wen Xia! 】

The girl's beautiful eyes opened wide, revealing worry and anxiety. Wen Xia curled the corners of her lips almost imperceptibly, and her clear eyes were calm, without a trace of fear.

Only at the critical moment did he seem to come to his senses.

In panic, he stumbled back, dodging to the side unsteadily...

At the same time, a talisman appeared in his hand.

The talisman was thrown out, and the whip and the talisman collided with each other.

The whip tail hit the spiritual shield built by the talisman with great force, making a "crackling" sound!

At the critical moment, the talisman barely blocked the whip...

Seeing the other party dodge the whip, Gu Yangyang felt slightly relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Her face darkened as she shouted angrily, "Oh! You're using unorthodox methods! You're always trying to be clever!"

"I want to see how many talismans you have that can block attacks for you!"

After saying that, another sharp whip was lashed towards Wen Xia!
