Chapter 19: An unexpected collision of water and fire, suddenly erupting...
The powerful collision between water and fire suddenly unleashed a huge destructive force, directly smashing the ring into pieces. This was enough to show that the two were not only good-looking, but also extremely powerful.
Xu Hui looked at Wei Mubai, waiting for his explanation.
This time, Wei Mubai didn't say that the two were deliberately putting on a show. Instead, he carefully explained to her, "Miss Zhong is quick-witted and has many magical powers. She combines magic and swordsmanship and has developed her own path of cultivation. Miss Zhong is more experienced, and every move she makes reveals her decisiveness and determination. She has a strong character and will not encounter any bottlenecks before the Nascent Soul stage. However..."
He frowned slightly and looked at it carefully, his expression solemn.
"What's wrong?" Xu Hui was curious. Why didn't he continue talking?
I have to say that Wei Mubai has a unique vision, and the heroine Zhong Xinyue is as kind-hearted as Bi Gan, with seven sharp minds.
She has a quick mind and always wins the favor of bigwigs from all walks of life, who think she is a promising talent.
Her success is not entirely due to external factors, but also to her own intelligence.
The female supporting character Zhong Lingyue was reborn. Before her rebirth, she cultivated to the great perfection of the golden elixir, but because of her strong jealousy, she was unable to wait for the formation of the baby.
If you cultivate again in this life, everything will go smoothly before the Nascent Soul stage and there will be no bottlenecks.
The book also says that forming a baby was the biggest difficulty in Zhong Lingyue's life. Once she overcame it, her mind was at peace, and from then on her path to immortality was smooth and unstoppable.
If she can't get over it, she will be trapped in the inner demons of her previous life forever. This will not change because she killed the heroine in advance and won the favor of the hero. It is caused by her own unstable mind.
Wei Mubai was indeed insightful and could see the future of the two people clearly.
So why did he look so serious?
"Stay away from her in the future," Wei Mubai warned suddenly.
"What?" Xu Hui was puzzled. Although she had originally planned to stay away from the heroine and the supporting actress, she was also curious why Wei Mubai said that.
"He has a bad character, is murderous, and is not a good person!" Wei Mubai made a final comment.
As expected, he understood everything. "What about Zhong Xinyue?" Xu Hui was curious. Would his opinion of his ex-fiancée be different?
Wei Mubai glanced at him coldly, "He's cunning and scheming. You're no match for him."
Xu Hui understood that Zhong Xinyue was the kind of girl who was scheming. This didn't mean it was a bad thing. After all, as long as she didn't hurt anyone, there was nothing wrong with being smart. It was a good thing.
The key point is that Xu Hui has a simple mind. It is best not to get in touch with such a cunning girl. It would be fine if she doesn't plot against you, but once she does, it is difficult to detect.
Xu Hui raised her eyes silently. Her fiancé was no ordinary man.
Fortunately, he is a decent person. Although he has some requests for her, they are mutually beneficial and he has no intention of exploiting her.
Maybe he wanted to play the long game to catch a big fish, but that’s okay. It’s all thanks to him that he was able to grow into a big fish.
Thinking of this, she turned her attention back to the stage. As expected of the two female protagonists, their methods were endless. The fight on the ring next to them had already ended, but they were still fighting in full swing.
After fighting for half an hour, Zhong Xinyue finally won with half a move. Although that was achieved by her self-destruction of a mid-grade spirit sword, winning is winning. After all, Zhong Xinyue was lucky enough to have a better magic weapon.
It’s not that Zhong Lingyue doesn’t exist, but she’s not as good as Zhong Xinyue.
But it was this point that made Zhong Lingyue's face turn black. She didn't lose in cultivation, nor in experience and knowledge, but she was inferior to Zhong Xinyue in these external things.
And all of this stems from the favoritism of the head of the Zhong family.
Thinking about how such a good marriage with the Wei family was lost just to exchange for the Qianxia Pill for Zhong Xinyue, and that the Zhong family's kindness to the Wei family was also offset, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
I should have used more forceful force earlier. After three sword energies, I don’t believe that Zhong Xinyue can still be alive and waiting for rescue?
The Wei family is really meddling in other people's business. Why save a disabled person? Just let Zhong Xinyue fend for herself, so as to save Miss Wei San's Qianxia Pill!
Zhong Lingyue, who had been smooth sailing since her rebirth, suffered a major setback in her most important plan, which led to the failure of her original plan to marry into the Wei family on behalf of Zhong Xinyue, and she was so upset that she wanted to vomit blood.
She originally thought that she could crush Zhong Xinyue with her experience and cultivation, but she still lost half a move because of external factors. This made her angry, and her realm became more and more unstable, almost going crazy.
Fortunately, I concealed it in time. To outsiders, it just looked like I was unhappy because I lost.
Little did she know that the seeds of her inner demon had already been planted and were now blossoming and bearing fruit.
Rebirth is not all good. The experiences and knowledge from the previous life are brought back, and negative emotions also follow.
Zhong Lingyue didn't bother to say anything harsh, and immediately walked off the stage, preparing to go back to calm down and suppress the rage that was lingering in her heart.
But his eyes swept over Wei Mubai in the audience, and...the little girl beside him, and his pupils constricted.
Who is that?
Wei Mubai can be described as a flower on the mountain top. He has always been a loner. In his previous life, even his fiancée Zhong Xinyue had never stayed with him.
Judging from her age, could it be Miss Wei San?
But wasn't the Qianxia Pill given to Zhong Xinyue? Or was there more than one Qianxia Pill, and the Wei family just wanted to cancel the life-saving grace.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhong Xinyue. Could it be that her rescue was also planned by the Wei family?
One life for another, one elixir for Zhong Xinyue's immortal path?
Her heart was in turmoil. If this was true, the Wei family must have noticed that she had attacked Zhong Xinyue. They looked at Wei Mubai with deep fear.
Wei Mubai sensed her fleeting murderous intent and moved his body slightly to block her view of Xu Hui. His intention to protect her was obvious. When he looked over again, Zhong Lingyue had already averted her gaze.
He was left with doubts and decided to go back and send someone to investigate thoroughly.
He didn't care what happened to Zhong Xinyue and her sister before, but he would not allow anyone to harm Xu Hui!
Noticing his change in mood, Xu Hui asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Mubai glanced at the stage and retracted his gaze, "It's okay, let's go."
The two men's actions were not abrupt. Today's competition was over and they needed to rest after the battle. The remaining competition would be held tomorrow, so everyone was walking out.
But Wei Mubai has extraordinary appearance and temperament. Even if he tries to hide it, once people notice him, they can't take their eyes off him. He stands out from the crowd.
In fact, others had already noticed his presence, but his aura of keeping people at a distance made people afraid to approach him and talk to him.
But he was also secretly curious about who the little girl was that he was talking to in a gentle manner with his head lowered.
The person who can be taken care of so attentively by the second young master of the Wei family must be no ordinary person. Looking at her frail appearance, could it be the third young lady of the Wei family?
Everyone guessed so, except for one person.
Zhong Xinyue was very surprised. She had met Miss Wei San and naturally knew that the woman next to Wei Mubai was not his sister.
But judging from the way he looks, they must be closely related.
Could it be?
A thought flashed through my mind, unbelievable yet seemingly reasonable.
Their engagement was not finalized, so it was normal for Wei Mubai to choose another fiancée.
Thinking of this, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, but when she turned around and met the gaze of the dignified Mu Yuan, her heart trembled, her cheeks became slightly hot, and the sense of loss faded away.
After returning to the base, Xu Hui went straight to the martial arts training ground to integrate what he had learned before.
She didn't go out for two consecutive days. She only knew that the heroine Zhong Xinyue won the first place, and the supporting actress was not much worse. Although she lost to the heroine, she also defeated the other three and won the second place.
"So they all joined the Mu family's inner sect?" Xu Hui asked curiously.
Wei Mubai nodded, "They were all recruited by Mu Yuan."
"Hey, Zhong Lingyue also succeeded?" She is indeed worthy of being the new heroine. Even if she fails briefly, she can still make her wishes come true.
Wei Mubai didn't answer this question, but only said, "The Wanjia Imperial Treasure Competition is today, do you want to go and see it?"
Xu Hui did not refuse. The previous show had inspired her, and there was no harm in watching and learning more.
In the following days, Xu Hui followed Wei Mubai to the competition venues of various families, and witnessed many competitions including controlling objects, controlling beasts, refining weapons, refining pills, and forming formations, and gained a lot.
After returning, he tried to integrate what he had learned and at the same time looked for people to fight with.
The Wei family’s base has its own arena. After paying spirit stones, one can choose a suitable opponent. In this way, Xu Hui has truly improved his strength to the sixth level of Qi training, instead of just talking about it on paper.
As her understanding of Taoism and magic deepened, cultivators of the same level were no match for her, and she could even challenge cultivators in the late stage of weapon refining.
This is the benefit of having a big boss teaching her step by step. Even though her spiritual power was far insufficient, she defeated a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training and tied with a cultivator at the great perfection of Qi training.
This trip was really rewarding.
Xu Hui was satisfied and finally decided to take a vacation.
She found Wei Mubai and put forward her request, "I want to go shopping in the market."
"Well, do you need me to accompany you?" Wei Mubai asked.
Xu Hui looked at the alchemy furnace rising in front of him and quickly shook her head, "No, I'm just strolling around."
"Take the Wei family jade pendant with you, and outsiders won't dare to provoke you easily," Wei Mubai nodded. Xu Hui was not his vassal, so she didn't have to stay by his side all the time. As long as she was safe, she could go anywhere.
Xu Hui nodded happily, equipped the defensive magic weapon in front of him, and went out.
The second phase of the family recruitment trials has basically ended. As for the final test of conscience, it is all carried out in each residence and outsiders are not allowed to visit, so it is now considered to be over.
But Quxian City is still bustling, because the Tianjiao Competition will begin in half a month. This is much more important than recruiting new members. More cultivators are pouring into Quxian City, making it even more crowded and overcrowded than before.
After passing several busy streets, Xu Hui decided not to take the main road but to take the side roads.
Quxian City is very large, with twenty main roads running ten vertically and ten horizontally, as well as countless medium-sized roads built around them.
The small path is only for traffic, with few shops on both sides. Some are run by small families doing small businesses, and most of them are residences, so there are not many people coming and going.
But because the spaces on both sides of the main road are full, there are also many people setting up stalls on the side roads.
As Xu Hui walked along, she saw all kinds of strange street stalls, some useful and some useless, some ordinary and some novel, some beautiful and some ugly, everything was available.
There are also many entertainment items, such as storybooks and videos about the world of immortal cultivation.
Xu Hui saw a stall that specialized in selling jade slips, which contained various fighting scenes, which were obviously specially recorded.
"Senior, would you like to buy some to watch? It's quite exciting. These are all duels between masters. It's absolutely worth the money. If you can gain some insights, it would be a great opportunity."
Xu Hui smiled. There were so many of these in the Wei family that it was impossible to count them. There were even hundreds of thousands of them. There was no need to spend spirit stones to buy them. Just use a few points and enter, and you could see as many as you wanted.
She was just curious whether the storybooks in this world would be as exciting as the online novels in her previous life?
Facts have proved that monks are also human beings, with the same seven emotions and six desires, and the same love of entertainment.
Not only are the storybooks brilliantly written and of many kinds, but there are also things like plays and dramas that are engraved on jade slips and can be enjoyed at any time.
Xu Hui bought some classic ones to use for relaxation after practicing.
We can call them art for now. It’s nice to cultivate your sentiments occasionally when you have some free time.
The stall owner was very happy and packed the things for her quickly. Dozens of jade slips cost less than a thousand low-grade spirit stones. It seemed that the entertainment in this world was developed enough and cheap.
It's pretty good. At least apart from fighting and killing, this world still has warmth and fun.
I put the jade slip into the bracelet, turned around, and saw an unexpected figure. It was her!
