Chapter 54: Sword Qi Record (1)
When Xu Yan came to his senses, Zhou Xian, who should have been considered the number one person in this selection competition, was taken back to Little Lotus Peak No. 1 by his master Song Yu, and then a scream was caused by the silence of the whole audience.
Xu Yan felt thousands of gazes sweeping towards him, and his face was still calm. Maybe everyone would feel that they would definitely lose to the other party, but unfortunately, the winning feeling was very good. Then, the linebacker elder announced the final result of this selection:
Xu Yan won the first place. According to the rules of the competition, he would reward him with a Peiyuan Pill in person. As for the sword technique, he was the sect leader's personal disciple, so he went to find Zhao Bailian by himself.
The second place is Zhou Xian, but because he was seriously injured and unconscious, his Peiyuan Pill was helped to take away by Song Yu.
Chen Qinghe, third place.
All three of them had the opportunity to practice on Qixingdun for a month, but this matter undoubtedly had to be done after spring hunting. After all, there were less than ten days left, and the spring hunting of Baishan was about to begin.
Xu Yan stepped forward to collect the pill that was crowned with the Realm Breaking Pill. It was not opened directly. It was sealed in a small porcelain bottle. When the border elder handed it over to him, the cold face finally relieved a little, and then he was extremely rare to say and encourage him.
Xu Yan humbly accepted this and said it was only right.
Afterwards, those disciples who had had an intersection with him came to congratulate him one after another, including the Chen brothers of the Xia sect, Qiu Yuanjin, Xu Hui, and Bai Bing, who was the Qiu sect. What surprised Xu Yan the most was that someone else came from the Chun sect. It was Gu Xueqing who lost to him in the fourth round of competition before.
Xu Yan gave him one by one, but his eyes kept checking around the square, as if looking for someone. It was not until he saw the back that was quietly leaving at the corner of the Incense Main Hall that he breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yan didn't know that he would care so much about whether the Cardinal came to watch his competition, but in the end he won, and she came; even if the other party was just standing in a far corner, farther than everyone else, and staring at all this calmly? But Xu Yan still felt that this was the best reward he had won the first place after so long.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Yan suddenly felt much more relaxed, and even Bai Bing asked him before parting, "How did you decide on that matter?" Xu Yan also directly agreed to the other party's request.
Bai Bing looked at Xu Yan's back, but suddenly there was a hint of indescribable cunning on his handsome face.
Xu Yan didn't know that the figure he had seen before was actually seen by this young man named Bai Bing.
About half an hour later...
A Xinluan flapped her wings and flew away from the Little Lotus Peak. Bai Bing stood in front of the bamboo building where he lived alone and watched it go away. He smiled a little proudly and sinisterly.
Another half an hour later...
By the side of a lotus pond in Baihe Jianzhuang, Bai Haijing, who is the leader of the village but has a bad temper, suddenly waved her sleeves, causing a loud bang in the entire lotus pond.
Water splashed everywhere, and countless lotus remained in the pool.
When the sound gradually faded and the water surface returned to calm, you could still see a snow-white corpse with its belly rolled up in the pool.
Bai Haijing blasted out a sword, and she still felt that her anger had not yet subsided, so she wanted to shoot another sword. Fortunately, the next moment, she was stopped by her daughter.
"Mom, if you use this sword in your hand again, all the koi in the pond will die. You are angry again. What these carp have to do with this matter? Besides, what Bing'er said in the letter is just his guess. He can't be sure whether it is true or not?"
Bai Haijing looked cold and shouted angrily: "Then Xu Yan is simply a toad who wants to eat swan meat. No, this must be the old thing that is causing trouble from it. I will definitely try to match them up. I will never allow this to happen. I want to use such despicable means to keep people. This old thing is too shameless, but he underestimates me, Bai Haijing. I will go find the old thing to ask for someone now."
The graceful woman saw her and went to the air to go and dissuade her immediately, "Mom, what are you doing? Not to mention that you are so reckless and will he agree? What will she think? Have you forgotten that if she was willing to go with you, she agreed a few years ago, so why wait until now?"
Bai Haijing was full of sword intent and said coldly: "It was before, now it is now, how can her situation be compared with before? No matter what she thinks, I must bring her back to Jianzhuang this time. I should have expected that the old thing started to ask her to protect the young man named Xu from three years ago. It was a ill-gotten plot. This is to make them fall in love over time."
How could a woman not understand her mother's character? Seeing that she became darker and darker, she was so amazed and cried that she could not continue to persuade: "Mom, how old were they three years ago, fourteen or fifteen years old? How could she understand the relationship between men and women? Moreover, is it a bit too much for you to think of that person like this? After all, you are..."
"Stop!" Bai Haijing suddenly shouted and interrupted her. She then said furiously: "What kind of person is that old thing? I know better than you. You don't need you to remind me, why, are you going to turn your elbow out?"
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she smiled bitterly. She knew very well that since she chose to leave with her mother, she would never be able to return to him. Otherwise, how could she take her mother's surname Bai?
Not only that, even her child is still named Bai.
The woman surnamed Bai felt that the other party had decided, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart. She had no motivation to continue persuading her, so she could only follow her, because she knew that no matter what she said, it would be futile. However, when she thought that if the other party rushed into the Lotus Sect like this, she would probably suffer, and she felt a little embarrassed.
The woman surnamed Bai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since my mother has decided and insisted on doing this, my daughter will no longer advise you. But before doing it, can I listen to my daughter?"
Bai Haijing said coldly: "What else do you want to say?"
The woman surnamed Bai replied: "I know my mother is impatient about this, but even so, why don't you wait until ten days later?"
Seeing that she looked impatient, the woman surnamed Baishan continued, "Isn't it Baishanchun Hunting in ten days? If my daughter remembers correctly, isn't the meeting place set up in the Lotus Sect?"
...
When Xu Yan returned to Liuyun courtyard, there were two people sitting on the round stone table in the courtyard.
One person is naturally the Cardinal who came back early after he won the competition, while the other person is Zhao Bailian wearing a blue shirt.
Seeing Xu Yan coming back, Zhao Bailian stood up and said to him: "After dinner, come to Ruoshui Villa and teach you the sword skills to your teacher."
Without waiting for Xu Yan to say anything, Zhao Bailian turned around and walked out of the gate of the courtyard.
Xu Yan did not understand the other party's intention of passing by, so he could only look at the cardinal sitting quietly on the stone bench of the drum. Unexpectedly, the latter had a gray face, as if he had just experienced a bad thing that made her feel bad.
Xu Yan was a little reluctant to speak, but in the end he didn't ask the Cardinal.
As time passed, the smell of food came from the kitchen. Xu Yan sat in his room, holding the porcelain bottle that he had won from the selection competition in his hand. However, when he saw the pill he had seen in the porcelain bottle and felt the familiar fragrance of medicine coming from it, he no longer had the desire to take it. Instead, this thing called Peiyuan Dan brought a heavy feeling to his heart.
Xu Yan looked out of the house, and looked at the kitchen through the patio and peach trees. He clearly saw nothing, but he still sighed with complicated eyes.
Then, he heard a familiar voice in the kitchen calling him to go for a meal.
Xu Yan put away the small porcelain bottle and sealed it to prevent the loss of medicine. Then he placed it in the wooden box used to collect items. He no longer thought about it and got up to eat in the kitchen.
During the meal, Cardinal was still in a bad mood. Seeing this, Xu Yan had to talk nonsense and try to divert her attention. Unfortunately, the result was very little. Cardinal ignored him at all, making him like a fool who entertained himself. In the end, he could only watch Cardinal who had never spoken back to the attic after finishing the meal.
Xu Yan shook his head helplessly and continued to clean the pots and pans. When he finished his work, it was almost three minutes after the hour of Hai.
Xu Yan left the courtyard without hesitation with Fu Yao on his back and went straight to the Ruoshui Villa where Zhao Bailian lived.
