Chapter 317 Just Don’t Admit It Every Time
Whether it is the Tiandao Association or the Youxian Association, the first round has the largest number of participants, so the first round of qualifying matches also takes the longest time.
However, because it is a two-to-one competition system, the number of eliminations is also the highest.
After two days of competition, one-third of the people have been defeated and left, while the winners have successfully entered the next round.
Since it is a duel between immortal cultivators, the focus is naturally on the arena.
However, in addition to watching the battle, some people on the viewing floor would occasionally look towards the west side of the corridor.
In the sight, Ji You was leaning in front of the railing, staring intently at the battle below, with a flickering golden light in his deep eyes.
In fact, since the start of the Youxianhui, although the battle would divert everyone's attention, there were still many eyes on Ji You.
He came alone that day and sat at the main table of the Immortal Sect, but the five major Immortal Sects who had been searching for him did not respond.
So many people want to know what happened to him.
Sometimes when there are too many people around, many things can be easily overlooked.
But when you focus your eyes a little, the differences between them become extremely obvious.
So many people discovered that Ji You did not participate in the war, but was just watching.
However, he was not just staring at the battle in Tianshuyuan, but was moving around in the viewing building, as if he was more concerned about the appearance of disciples from other immortal sects.
It would be fine if he was the only one like this, but the other five major immortal sects seem to be the same.
Especially those people such as the direct disciples of the headmaster and deputy headmaster, their states are very similar, with only scrutiny in their eyes without sadness or joy.
It felt like the others were just joining in the fun, but they really had their own purpose.
It's not surprising that the seven major immortal sects have always been mysterious in their actions, but the problem is that Ji You seems to be as mysterious as those masters and disciples.
On the west side of the viewing corridor, Princess Changle Zhao Yunyue was also looking at him in the corridor, her eyes gradually becoming absent-minded.
Ji You appeared alone in the Immortal Garden and walked into the Immortal Sect's main table. She could never forget this scene, and her Tao heart was always in a mess.
"Junior Sister Yunyue."
"Junior Sister Yunyue?"
Liu Junchi called out to him twice from the side, but he didn't come back to his senses, and his eyes were gloomy.
Long Hui from the Yongzhou Long family chuckled after seeing this, and nudged his beloved cousin with his elbow, wanting her to see the expressions of Liu Junchi and others, but found that his cousin did not react.
So he turned around and looked down, and found that his cousin was also in a trance.
Just when everyone's faces were gloomy, their eyes suddenly lit up.
The Rihua Dojo is so huge that the entire circular viewing building is no smaller than the Taikoo Dojo, and the viewing corridor can even accommodate horse racing.
At this time, at the corner of the western corridor, Ji You met the young master of Lingjian Mountain and his party head-on.
Ji You passed by him with an indifferent expression and walked forward with an arrogant look.
Just as the scene of strangers passing by each other was about to end, the arrogant Little Master of Lingjian Mountain suddenly glanced at Ji You with a fierce look on her face, because she seemed to hear a whisper from the little water tiger.
She cares a lot about this now.
Because there is an old saying in Qingyun, lies don’t hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.
But when she looked carefully, she found that she seemed to be hallucinating, and Ji You's mouth did not move.
"It seems that Ji You has really offended the five major immortal sects."
Seeing the two of them pass each other, Zhao Yunyue came back to his senses and murmured softly.
Liu Junchi turned his gaze back and asked, "Why would Junior Sister Yun Yue say that?"
"Brother Liu, do you still remember that at the Tiandao Conference, I once requested an audience with Master Jian, and that Ji You was lucky enough to be received by Master Jian because he was with me? He also attended Master Jian's private banquet at that time. If he hadn't had a deep rift with the Five Great Immortal Sects, he wouldn't have left out even a greeting."
"What Junior Sister said is not without reason."
"And have you noticed that the young master seems to have a strong murderous aura towards him?"
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wan were following their own appraiser at this time, thinking about similar things.
Ever since that night, whenever the judge saw his son-in-law, he would be filled with murderous intent, as if he couldn't control himself.
In addition, she was also eyeing the water magic in the fairy garden.
The so-called water magic is actually a kind of garden landscape. It is driven by magic tools and can spray water to create a splashing landscape. It is very common in Qingyun World.
Every time our Master passed by that water technique, sword energy would roar all over him...
As time went by, the eyes of the audience on the upper floor began to gradually gather because of the meeting between the two of them.
At noon, the sun was rising high in the sky. At the battle site of Shanhai Pavilion disciples, Ji You walked over and approached the corridor.
He confirmed several disciples who had taken the fruit, and this one was no exception.
As far as he had already seen, he hadn't noticed any problems.
This was a good thing, but looking at the greedy eyes of the immortal sect disciples, he always felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, a familiar fragrance suddenly floated over and penetrated into his nostrils.
Yan Shuyi also came here, staring at the viewing platform with a cold and arrogant look on his face.
Her character is the arrogant Little Master of Lingjian Mountain. It would be unnatural for her to avoid Ji You when she meets him.
So just pretend you didn't see him, don't look at him, and go wherever you want to go. That's the only reasonable thing to do.
The young master looked down at the viewing platform downstairs with an arrogant look.
Ji You narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he had been abstaining from love and desire every day, but in the end he still wanted to cling to her.
At this moment, with the sound of a gong, the competition began.
Huo Zhuoqun was extremely young, and looked about the same age as Yuan Chen. He walked onto the stage holding a short knife.
As the gong sounded, the sword light whistled across the sky, cutting fiercely in the endless wind and waves. The rich spiritual energy directly rolled up a surging air wave.
Ji You looked for a long time until the figure in front of Huo Zhuoqun fell out of the scene, then he withdrew his gaze, and then he stood up and left naturally.
Yan Shuyi noticed Ji You's movements and subconsciously followed him.
This scene was too much like the play she had watched in Shengjing. She was so stunned for a moment that she didn't react until she had taken several steps. She narrowed her eyes and immediately returned to the corridor, putting on an air of pride.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yunyue, Liu Junchi and others were stunned.
Why did the little master Jian seem to have left with him obediently just now?
Especially that slightly extended right hand, which looked like it was about to pinch the corner of his clothes...
At this time, some masters and disciples gathered on the east side of the battle viewing building were also watching this scene, with a flickering look in their deep eyes.
Although only a very small number of people in Qingyun World know what exactly happened in the Dongping Mountains, as the leaders of the Immortal Sect, they naturally know a lot of details.
At that time, Ji You suddenly appeared and killed Bu Qirong, and was hunted down by the elders of various sects.
Tianshuyuan did not take action, but Xiaojianzhu took it away.
At that time, some elders disagreed, saying that Ji You was a disciple of Tianshu Academy and Lingjian Mountain had no right to interfere. As a result, Yan Shuyi said that it was her family affair.
This sentence was obscure and made people feel that Ji You was an undercover agent planted by Lingjian Mountain in Tianshuyuan, but some people also felt that there seemed to be something inexplicable between the two.
And just now, Yan Shuyi's demeanor and expression seemed to explain something.
The young master of the imperial palace has always been known for her coldness and elegance, with her face never showing many expressions, but the scene just now was particularly different.
Shang Xiyao stood opposite with his hands behind his back, his eyes gradually becoming colder.
"Huo Zhuoqun, a disciple of the Shanhai Pavilion, is eighteen years old. Huo Xingzhong should be called his cousin. He comes from a branch of the fourth pavilion of the Shanhai Pavilion, and his father is a director of the Shanhai Pavilion's Directorate."
"A year ago, Huo Zhuoqun was still at the middle stage of Wei Zhao. He was not very noticeable in the Shanhai Pavilion, and could even be said to be completely unknown. But at this Immortal Tour, he has already reached the upper stage of Tong Xuan."
"And there's Chen Le, 28 years old, a disciple of the Chen family's main branch, and the 28th disciple of the deputy headmaster. A year ago, he was in the middle realm of Tongxuan, and now he has reached the upper realm of Rongdao."
"Next is Lin Kong from Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion, and this Xu Da..."
In the evening, in the main hall of a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu held the letter in their hands and read it softly to Ji You.
This is the information collected by the outsiders of Lingjian Mountain. It includes identity, age and previous cultivation level, and is detailed enough.
After listening to this, Ji You spun the teacup in his hand: "Judging from the speed at which their realms are improving, they must have consumed the fruit."
"Sir, have you noticed anything after watching the battle for a day?"
"The opponent's skill level was too low. He was defeated in just a few moves and fell to the ground. There wasn't much to see."
Ding Yao nodded after hearing this: "That's what the Master said when he came back."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them turned their heads and looked at the person sitting on the right.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain was holding a teacup and sitting beside him, drinking water silently. He was unnaturally silent.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other tacitly.
The judge was distracted today and almost clung to her husband in public...
"What does the young master think?"
Ji You put down the teacup and looked at Yan Shuyi.
After listening to this, Yan Shuyi spoke softly, "Even if there really was something wrong with the realm granted by the Dao Fruit, it wouldn't be exposed so easily. Otherwise, the Immortal Sect wouldn't have asked them to participate. The current opponents are too weak. The one fighting Huo Zhuoqun couldn't even withstand two moves."
"Tomorrow is the second round. If there are evenly matched opponents, I think we'll be able to see something."
"That's right, so tomorrow I'll go to the East District and you'll go to the West District. We'll each observe."
Yan Shuyi spoke softly, then raised his water glass and took a sip.
Seeing no response, Xiao Jianzhu couldn't help but turn to look at Ji You.
Ji You was thinking at this time, thinking that the noble families he met today, including Prince Chong and his party, were all complacent, thinking that their children could get a good ranking.
But they probably haven't realized yet that the talented people in their hearts are basically just running for the sake of being a runner-up. I wonder what their expressions will be then.
He murmured, then looked at Yan Shuyi and found that the tsundere was looking at the bed behind him.
In the sight, the originally bare wooden bed is now fully covered with bedding, as if it has always been like that.
"Why are there bedding again?"
Ji You looked at her calmly: "Isn't it always like this?"
Yan Shu also looked at Ji You, and after a long silence, he remained expressionless, as if he had completely given up all emotions and desires.
She knew the strange man was trying to coax her, but she didn't respond.
Anyway, she won't do it again. Not only does it damage the dignity of the appraiser, but she also doesn't like doing it.
Ji You suddenly said seriously, "Since you didn't admit it the first or second time, you can just deny it every time from now on."
"?"
Upon hearing this, the young master was slightly startled, and a thoughtful look flashed across her beautiful phoenix eyes.
On the side, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu looked at each other and thought, what are you not admitting?
In fact, this was a complaint Ji You said to himself after he found that Yan Shuyi ignored him.
When this sentence flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and shouted "Good guy" three times in a row.
Don't say it, don't say it...
While he was thinking, there was a clanging sound suddenly coming from the yard, like the collision of iron objects.
Ji You stood up and walked out of the house, reaching out to lift the lid of the pot on the stove.
Not only did he buy bedding today, he also bought a Qingjiang fish.
We just chatted for half an hour, and the fish was already stewed to perfection, and the aroma overflowed as soon as the lid was opened.
He served the soup and the chopped fish together, and returned to the room with the bowls and plates. He saw that Yan Shuyi seemed to have finished his thoughts. He sat upright with his eyes slightly narrowed, and still had a cold look on his face.
Ji You couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he started pouring soup into the bowl.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu drank quickly, so as a maid, they made an excuse to leave the house after dinner, leaving them some space.
But they did not leave, but waited in the yard.
Because the owner of the inspection said that he would never spend the night in the yard again.
If it were an ordinary time, they would definitely not believe it, but the appraiser did leave before dark yesterday, so the credibility is very high.
Moreover, the judge has been looking murderous these past two days, and they think he must be serious this time.
But soon, a rustling sound was heard in the room.
Yan Shuyi's mouth was sealed, and he accidentally tore his belt while struggling.
Ji You really didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence both times. He couldn't help but let out a click of the tongue, and then he bit his lower lip.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Shuyi suddenly put his fingers together, and a flash of sword energy shot out, and the flickering lights suddenly went out.
But the next moment, a touch of spiritual energy ignited it again.
"?"
The little princess was stunned for a moment, but before she could get angry, she curled up her jade feet instantly and buried herself in Ji You's arms with a hum.
Anyway, if you don't admit it the first or second time, then you can just deny it every time in the future.
Little mistress...
Woo…
Spring nights are not too long. As the starlight flows, the sky gradually brightens.
Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao were sleepy all night, and vowed never to trust their own appraiser again...
The first round of the Youxianhui ended, and the second round of competition followed immediately.
In the early morning when the light of dawn spread everywhere, everyone gathered on the viewing platform.
As the fight began, an unexpected result appeared on the fifth arena.
In the spacious Taoist temple, a cultivator named Wei Bo fell to the ground, spitting blood, and the weapon in his hand broke on the spot.
Wei Bo is a descendant of a thousand-year-old family in Yongzhou. He is quite powerful. At the Tiandao Conference, he once fought against Chen Shuo, a descendant of the Chen family. Unfortunately, he did not have many offensive means and was defeated by the Chen family's Ten-Section Slash.
Otherwise, he would have a chance to enter the finals.
But no one had expected that he would be defeated just after entering the second round. This result shocked everyone.
"Wei Bo actually lost?"
"Huo Zhuoqun of Shanhai Pavilion, who is this? I've never heard of him."
"You can tell from what you hear. This is a disciple of the Huo family, but he... doesn't seem to have reached the age of twenty yet."
"He's not even twenty yet and is at the Tongxuan Upper Realm? How is that possible?"
Everyone in the viewing platform was shocked by the battle.
There are many world-famous geniuses in Shanhai Pavilion, but no one has ever heard of Huo Zhuoqun's name.
The key point is that it is already extraordinary for someone to have achieved perfection in the lower three realms before he even reached the age of twenty. Who would have thought that there would be someone who has reached the upper Tongxuan realm before he even reached the age of twenty now.
He Long, the elder of the He family, frowned: "Could it be that this is the hidden genius of the Shanhai Pavilion?"
Guo Huai nodded upon hearing this: "It's very likely. This kind of thing has happened to the Tiandao Society before."
"Then why didn't he attend the Tiandao Conference? Not everyone can get feedback from the Tiandao Festival, and it can't compare to this Tiandao Conference."
"Perhaps he was still in the middle realm at the time and felt that the outcome was uncertain?"
"Then he shouldn't be so unknown. How could he have kept it a secret with such a high cultivation speed? But this is the first time I've heard of this name. I've never heard of it before."
Amidst the quiet discussions, Shanhai Pavilion's deputy headmaster Huo Jin and his direct disciple Huo Xingzhong looked at each other and laughed softly.
Behind him, a group of elders from the Shanhai Pavilion were stroking their long beards with clear eyes.
As for the other four immortal sects, they were all staring at them.
Especially when talking about the deputy head and direct disciple of the Daoist Sect, Shang Xiyao, their eyes were a little solemn.
On the south side of the viewing building, Ji You slowly stood up from the railing and looked across.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain was on the west side, looking at him tacitly.
Just as they had expected last night, the people who took the fruit began to amaze.
At this moment, Yan Shuyi's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and her red lips pursed slightly, as if she was still inside.
(I won’t write too much about the plot of Youxianhui, it will end soon, and the content will basically be mentioned because it is not important. Then something big will happen. Please vote for me.)
