The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 312: Competing Disciples

The moon was high in the sky, casting a clear light. A man wearing a hood was standing under the pear tree in Xianyunju, but the inside of Xianyunju was completely dark.

After a long time, a figure walked in from outside the yard. It was Lingxiang.

Seeing Lingxiang approaching, the man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. Lingxiang gave him a hand and asked, "Is it finished?"

The man took off his hood after hearing what was said, and it turned out to be Luo Li.

"I'm afraid the fairy will be disappointed," Luo Li said with difficulty.

Lingxiang didn't seem annoyed, she just comforted him softly, "It's not your fault, it was indeed too hasty." Then she sighed, "Since it can't be done, then we can only leave it to fate..."

Luo Li's eyes flickered, and he hesitated as he spoke: "Did you really mean what the fairy said that day?"

Lingxiang looked at the full moon in the sky and nodded after a long time.

That day in the Wuji Palace, the Dust-Seeing Mirror showed Lingxiang the future, and Yuan Qing was in imminent danger.

Seeing Lingxiang's solemn expression, Luoli sighed and took something out from his arms.

"My cultivation is shallow, and I am unable to fuse the two spirit beads into one object, but I have accomplished half of what the fairy asked for."

Halfway done? What does that mean?

Lingxiang took the thing in Luoli's hand and found that it was wrapped with a thick layer of cotton cloth, and she could vaguely see some light seeping out of it.

"With my ability, I can only use the Fire Spirit Pearl to this extent. However, if it is what the fairy said, this is enough. However, it cannot stop on its own after three years. I need the power of the Water Spirit Pearl to take it back."

"That's enough," Lingxiang said, taking out an object from her Qiankun bag. It was the Divine Tiger Pattern Mirror. "But in this case, I will have to bother you to go there again and solve the mystery for him."

Luo Li quickly bowed and said, "I have no choice but to fulfill my mission to fulfill the common people's duty!"

Lingxiang smiled and then went into the house.

……

Taoist Chi Yanzi had been placed in Lingyun Pavilion since he returned to Yuanqing. It was for this reason that Maidong, who was supposed to be confined to the courtyard, was allowed to leave the courtyard so that she could look after Chi Yanzi.

Maidong was very conscientious in taking care of Chi Yanzi, although he would occasionally forget to bring medicine and water. Fortunately, with the help of Lingxiang elixir, Chi Yanzi was almost recovered, so one or two mistakes were not a big deal.

Moreover, after experiencing the last battle, Chi Yanzi more or less understood what Fairy Tumi meant by "die a worthy death", so he was somewhat forgiving towards a little girl like Maidong.

It’s normal for children to be naughty. Who doesn’t come from that period?

Looking at Maidong who was in a daze, Chi Yanzi smiled kindly, but he didn't know that Maidong was complaining in his heart at this moment: That damn girl Lingxiang, she didn't even come to look for her after returning to Yuanqing.

Since Maidong returned to Yuanqing, she has been ordered by Master Fuyin to stay in the disciple courtyard, so she had no idea about the visit of the head of the Supreme Sect.

A few days ago, Guan Chen was on duty. He kept in mind the instructions of Master Fu Yin and kept his mouth shut. He didn't tell Mai Dong anything. Even if she asked, Guan Chen would just say he didn't know. No matter how Mai Dong tried to cheat, it was useless. But today was different. Today, Guan Lan was guarding Lingyun Pavilion. When Master Fu Yin was about to go to Wuji Palace, he was not at Qiuyun Peak, so he didn't know what Master Fu Yin had told him, and Guan Chen didn't tell him.

It was for this reason that Maidong extracted some information from Guanlan early this morning. Now he was thinking about how he could sneak out and join in the fun outside the Wuji Palace.

However, although Gangguo Guanlan did not know the instructions of Master Fuyin, he knew that the division of spirit was no trivial matter, so he only said that Elder Fucang set up a competition arena outside the Wuji Palace, but did not mention anything else.

Speaking of bustling, it was indeed lively outside the Wuji Palace. Last night, Cheng Yu defeated Bai Qing in a battle that was really interesting to watch, so early this morning, the area around the martial arts stage was crowded with people.

After yesterday's battle, Hui Yan also realized how powerful Cheng Yu was. He couldn't help but admire him. Although the young elder was young, his ability to judge people was really good.

The disciple who took the stage today from the Tai Shang Sect was a thin one named Du Ruo. He stood on the stage holding a seven-foot long sword. He looked dignified and extraordinary in bearing. He was the direct disciple of True Man Lieyang.

"Oh~ Are we going to have a personal lesson today?" Lingxiang said nonchalantly while cracking pine seeds and crossing her legs. She looked just like those dandies down the mountain.

Hui Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips - is this the elder of a big sect? But he couldn't say much, after all, he was not from his own sect, so he could only turn his head away, out of sight, out of mind.

Long Qi felt that Ling Xiang did this on purpose. Although Ling Xiang's behavior was strange in the past, it was considered to be well-behaved. This was the first time I had seen someone so absurd. Thinking about it carefully, Ling Xiang seemed to be very strange in the past two days. Although she looked the same as usual, her eyes were different from the past.

There seemed to be a sadness in Lingxiang's eyes that was different from the past...

Sad? What is she sad about?
Long Qi was confused. Ever since she returned to the sect, Lingxiang had been acting strangely. Not only had she driven him and Xinyi out of Qingwei Peak for no reason, she had also deliberately provoked trouble between the two sects. Although Lingxiang was eccentric, she would never do things without a purpose. So why did she do this?
And yesterday, she actually left the martial arts arena quietly, which was not her style when she liked to watch the fun.

What is Lingxiang planning?
Long Qi felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't tell what he was uneasy about. He suddenly remembered the dream he had when he was living in Ding'an. In the dream, Lingxiang had a resolute look on her face...

Just as Long Qi was deep in thought, there was a burst of applause from the audience below the martial arts stage. He then came to his senses and looked at the two people on the stage.

Du Ruo wielded the Xuanmen sword, having learned all the true skills from Immortal Lieyang. He just used the move of Yaksha exploring the sea, sweeping straight down to Chengxi's lower body, with a fierce momentum like a chilly wind.

Cheng Yu had just dodged a move, but Du Ruo followed up with another one. He was unable to dodge for a moment, so he had to hold the Thunder Stick in front of him.

The two weapons collided, sparks flew, and a sharp eagle cry was heard. What Cheng Yu didn't expect was that the man in front of him was thin, but his strength was not inferior to his. After several moves, Cheng Yu only felt a numbness and pain in the palm of his hand.

Not only that, Cheng Yu had never seen Xuanmen swordsmanship before, and was unable to see through the flaws in it for a while. In addition, Du Ruo's attack was swift, and for a while he could only parry, retreat or dodge, and was unable to calm down and think of a countermeasure.

But even though Cheng Yu was retreating step by step, the man's attack did not stop. He pressed forward with one move after another, putting him in a tough fight.

If I continue like this, I won't have enough strength. Just dodging and parrying is not a solution. I have to fight back to have a chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Cheng Qi swung his long stick, opened the sword, turned around and kicked, and while Du Ruo was dodging, he distanced himself from him.

As soon as he stood still, Cheng Xi let out a breath, then lowered his body and hit the ground with his long stick.

After a few dull sounds, Lingxiang on the seat grinned, "The Crazy Devil Stick Technique is a good way to deal with the Xuanmen Sword."
