Chapter 128 Come and take first place
Several people walked towards the route indicated by the Tianjian Sect. Along the way, they saw many people. They were wearing different clothes and came from different sects. They gathered in groups of three or five to discuss this competition.
"I heard that Su Yan from the Tianjian Sect recently broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. In my opinion, the Tianjian Sect will take first place in both the individual and team competitions."
"How is that possible? My brother is an inner disciple of the Tianjian Sect. How could I not know about this news?" Someone objected, obviously not believing it.
"That's because you don't have good connections and are not well-informed."
"I don't think so. The Tianjian Sect's overall strength is very strong, but Zhou Shiqing from the Huanhai Sect tied with Su Yan in the last round. Even if Su Yan improves further, Zhou Shiqing's speed will definitely not be slow. Personally, I am more optimistic about Zhou Shiqing, so I bet Zhou Shiqing will be the first in the individual competition."
"No, no, no, you all forgot someone?"
"who???"
"Chen Wenxuan of the Spirit Beast Sect, I heard he just broke through to the early Nascent Soul stage not long ago. Although judging by his strength alone, he's slightly behind the other two senior disciples, don't forget that he has a contracted demon beast of the same strength. In other words, he's in the early Nascent Soul stage, and his contracted demon beast is also in the early Nascent Soul stage. So, it's hard to say who's number one."
"Hearing you put it that way, it's true. I don't know who to put down."
""
A few people were discussing intensely when a clear girl's voice interrupted them.
"What you said is wrong. The first place this time must be my senior brother."
Nan Xiao listened to their enthusiastic discussion and slowly left the team to join their chat group.
When everyone looked, they saw that the person speaking was a young girl whom they had never seen before.
Someone asked, "Which family's apprentice sister are you from?"
Nan Xiao put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and said proudly: "I am from Xiaoyao Sect, and my eldest brother is Jiang Xia from Xiaoyao Sect. I am here to take first place."
Everyone looked at each other, their minds full of doubts.
They had heard of the Xiaoyao Sect, but who was this Jiang Xia? They had never heard of this person before.
"Okay, your eldest brother is the best. Go play somewhere else, little sister."
The person who was talking, seeing that she was a young girl, used a tone of coaxing a child to answer her perfunctorily.
Nan Xiao: “………….”
She was serious, why didn't anyone believe her?
Someone kindly said, "Little sister, have you lost your senior brother? Where do you live? Do you know the way? Do you want me to take you back?"
At this time, Jiang Xia, along with two fellow apprentices, walked through the crowd to Nan Xiao's side, grabbed her collar, and politely nodded to the group, saying, "My fellow Daoists, I'm truly sorry, my little apprentice sister has been naughty."
"No, it's normal for children to run around..." Everyone expressed their understanding, as everyone has troublesome junior brothers and sisters in their family.
After a few brief greetings, Jiang Xia carried the person over as easily as carrying a chick.
Only after they reached an open area did he put Nan Xiao down.
Nan Xiao straightened his robe, curled his lips, and said with a look of arrogance and dissatisfaction: "Big Brother, next time, can you please not carry me like this? It damages my image. If my younger brothers see it, I will be so embarrassed."
She is already an adult, she also needs to save face.
Jiang Xia smiled, put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair, and said, "Okay."
Ye Wumian said, "Junior Sister, Senior Brother is worried about you too. This is the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect, with many people around. What if you get kidnapped?"
Nan Xiao asked curiously, "Are there human traffickers in this world of cultivation?"
"Of course. We encountered this the last time Elder Li took my fourth junior brother and me out for training. Some evil cultivators specifically capture girls like you to cultivate with. They're quite evil."
Lu Huai also came over: "Third Brother, is there anyone who can catch someone like me?"
"You?" Ye Wumian looked at Su Xun and said, "Maybe female evil cultivators like people like you."
Jiang Xia slapped Ye Wumian on the back of his head, "Why are you trying to scare them?"
"oh..."
Ye Wumian was helpless, so he just said casually that the senior brother was partial.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai chuckled, obviously not frightened.
She walked beside Jiang Xia and said seriously, "Big Brother, I've already told everyone that you will be first. You have to work hard."
Jiang Xia: “…”
He pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, knowing in his heart that his junior sister had confidence in him, but the goal she set was too direct.
Lu Huai echoed: "Yes, come on, big brother, take first place."
Jiang Xia: “…………”
Well, since my junior brothers and sisters all have so much confidence in him, I really can’t let them down.
The few of them walked and talked like this, the sunlight shining on them, casting several long shadows.
They walked to the four peaks and saw many sect flags around them.
Jiang Xia found the direction of the Xiaoyao Sect’s flag and walked over with a few people.
The surrounding trees were tall and dense, their branches and leaves intertwined, cutting the sunlight into small pieces. Occasionally, a few rays of light struggled to penetrate, shining on the moss-covered ground, giving off a faint luster.
Ye Wumian frowned: "Why is this place so gloomy?"
Lu Huai said, "I think so too."
Nan Xiao casually said, "Maybe they spent all their spirit stones on appearances?"
It looks bright and beautiful on the outside? But there's no money to decorate the inside?
The road was not long and we reached the end in a short while. Qiao Yue was cleaning up with his disciples.
If you want to stay here for a while, you naturally need to clean it and live comfortably.
"Second Senior Sister..." Nan Xiao waved and shouted from afar.
"Junior Sister..." Qiao Yue's eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and she said in surprise, "You really brought Senior Brother here."
Nan Xiao's lips curled up: "Of course, the sect competition is a major event for our sect. Naturally, no one can be left out, we have to witness it together."
"Junior Sister is right."
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Jiang Xia interrupted, "Second Junior Sister, where is Master?"
Master has worked hard and worried about him for many years. Now that he has recovered, it is natural that he will tell him as soon as possible.
Qiao Yue replied, "Master was called away by the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to discuss matters concerning the competition."
"Okay..." Jiang Xia nodded slightly. This matter can only be discussed after the master comes back.
…………
Everyone settled down.
As the night deepened, the eerie atmosphere around became more and more solemn.
Except for Jiang Xia, there were five smaller ones, sitting in a row on the roof in different postures.
Ye Wumian looked at the woods and felt extremely annoyed.
He said, “I want to pick a fight.”
Su Xun: "I have the same idea."
Lu Huai: "I hate this forest."
Nan Xiao slammed the table and decided: "Let's cut down these trees."
She also felt that these trees were strange, depressing and uncomfortable.
The other three said in unison: "Okay"
Qiao Yue: “…………”
This is not good, after all, it is someone else's territory.
Seeing that the four of them really started to pick up tools to chop down trees, Qiao Yue quickly held them down.
"Stop, sit down." Qiao Yue acted like a senior sister and scolded the younger ones, "This is the territory of the Tianjian Sect, not the Xiaoyao Sect. Everyone, keep a low profile."
