The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Yiqing didn't reject her kindness, "Thank you very much, Junior Sister."

Hearing this, Suihong's eyes brightened even more, "Senior Sister, you're welcome!"

Several onlookers parroted, "You're welcome, Senior Sister."

Suihong turned her head suddenly, "You guys are not allowed to make trouble!"

After thinking for a while, she walked up to the few people and suddenly stretched out her hand, palm facing up, "I'm willing to admit defeat, give me the spirit stones!"

The style of painting suddenly changed.

Yiqing raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, Senior Sister Suihong, you still remember this. I thought you must have forgotten it since you were so happy. Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

"We have gained a lot today by being able to see Senior Sister Qi Rang's sword moves."

"Okay, okay, okay, I admit defeat. Here, I give it to you!"

Each of them took out a spirit stone and gave it to Suihong.

Sui Hong's eyes curved with joy.

"Okay, go and have fun by yourselves. I need to stay with Senior Sister Qi Rang for a while longer." She waved at them.

Others left on their own accord.

Suihong walked up to Yiqing holding a pile of spirit stones and gave her half of them. "Sister, I'll give you half, but don't be angry because I used you as a bet."

Yiqing lowered her eyes and glanced at him, but didn't answer.

She asked, "What's your bet? You bet that we fight each other and I'll be the winner?"

Suihong shook her head vigorously.

It's not her character to admit defeat in front of others before the fight even starts.

She was sincere in seeking advice, and even though she regarded Senior Sister Qi Rang as a mountain, she did it with the intention of climbing over that mountain.

"My bet is that Senior Sister will fight me."

Winning or losing doesn’t really matter.

Yiqing looked at her for a while and said, "This won't happen again."

Seeing that she was not angry about this, Suihong was very happy.

"Sister, it must be so boring for you to be here alone. Even if you don't participate in the competition this year, you can go and watch it. Just think of it as keeping me company!" Suihong pestered Yiqing to go with her to watch the competition.

Yiqing was so annoyed that she had no choice but to agree.

They came to the spectator seats and saw the fourth brother fighting with someone on the competition stage.

She took a casual glance and saw that the sword moves were sharp and powerful, and had grown a lot compared to what she remembered.

And the sword in his hand...

Yiqing vaguely remembered that his natal sword was a green sword, but this sword was snow-white all over, and its appearance alone was remarkable.

Yiqing seemed to be thinking about something.

"Don't be sad, Senior Sister. Once your cultivation recovers, you will still be able to participate in the next competition." Suihong noticed that she was staring at him for too long and felt a little misunderstood.

Yiqing didn't explain anything, just nodded slightly, and then sat down with her.

The fourth brother's competition was over in just half an hour.

When the elder on the stage announced his victory, his eyes were full of smiles, and his gaze subconsciously swept across the crowd. When his eyes fell on Yiqing, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon turned into contempt and arrogance.

The two were so far apart.

But at this moment, Yiqing seemed to hear him say in her ear with a proud tone: Did you see that? Now you are half disabled, while I am getting stronger. I will settle the account with you sooner or later!

Somehow, Yiqing thought of a word - a villain succeeds.

She couldn't bear to see someone she hated living so happily, so she called out to the person next to her, "Suihong."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Senior Sister Qi?"

"If you have the chance to fight him in the competition recently, remember to beat him down severely."

Suihong looked in the direction of her finger and saw a strange male cultivator.

Her gaze stayed on him for two more seconds, making sure she had memorized his appearance before looking away, "Okay, okay."

She didn't even ask Yiqing the reason and just agreed readily.

Coincidentally, two hours later it was Suihong's turn to draw lots to choose his opponent, and he happened to choose Lao Si.

The two men fought each other, and both of their moves were extremely fast.

Although the fourth brother has made great progress during this period, Yiqing has also personally tried Suihong's abilities. Even though Suihong did not use spiritual power at that time, Yiqing was certain that Suihong would only become stronger after using spiritual power.

Sure enough, the fourth brother was defeated in just an incense stick of time.

When he landed outside the competition arena, he was still a little dazed. "I lost? How could I lose so quickly? I could definitely make it to the finals this time, and for this I didn't hesitate..."

Reason suddenly returned to him, and he barely stopped the rest of his words. He raised his eyes and stared at Suihong, "You must have cheated!"

"Do I need to cheat to deal with you?"

Suihong smiled lightly, which was not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

The fourth brother was so angry that his chest heaved several times.

He was so proud and confident when he won the previous few games, but now that he was defeated suddenly, he didn't even dare to look at other people's faces. He just felt that they must be mocking him for being proud too early.

in particular……

The fourth brother's eyes paused, and he suddenly realized why he felt that the female cultivator in front of him looked familiar.

She was the one who was with Qi Rang before.

He knew why he lost. It was because of Qi Rang. It must be because of her!

The fourth brother ran towards Yiqing frantically, questioning and roaring, "You were the one who told her my weakness, right? You are my senior sister from the same sect, you are most familiar with my moves, and you know my weakness best."

Suihong saw that something was not right, and immediately rushed back to Yiqing, standing in front of her, "What are you crazy about! If you can't afford to lose, don't participate in the competition. Now you are yelling here, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"

"She is the one who should feel ashamed!" The fourth elder pointed at Yiqing, his eyes full of hatred, "As a disciple of Xuanling Sect, she helps the outer sect disciples to deal with her own fellow disciples. How is such behavior different from treason?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Sui Hong was furious. "You lost to me because you didn't learn the skills well enough. This has nothing to do with Senior Sister Qi!"

At this moment, Lao Si was like a mad dog, biting whoever he caught. "Why are you so anxious? You feel guilty, right?"

"you--"

"Qi Rang, you don't speak because you feel guilty, right?"

Yiqing could feel countless eyes falling on him at this moment, and guessed that the fourth brother wanted to use public opinion to deal with him again.

She sighed secretly.

I clearly have no intention of getting involved with them, but they just want to make things difficult for me.

Do you really think you are a soft persimmon?

"You said that I told Suihong about your flaws. What evidence do you have?" Yiqing said calmly.

The fourth brother gritted his teeth and said, "I am not bad at it. If today is just a matter of time after several fierce battles, and someone is lucky enough to win by a few moves, I will accept it."

"But it was only an incense stick of time. If she hadn't received your guidance, how could she have defeated me in such a short time?"

Suihong's eyes widened.

Can this be considered evidence?

She didn't know how thick-skinned this person was to say such a thing.

"Why is it impossible for me to defeat you in such a short time? With your useless skills, even one stick of incense is too slow for me!"

Suihong usually does not make personal attacks, nor does he like to use the level of his cultivation to define whether a person is a waste.

But the fourth brother really pissed her off, so much so that she started to speak without thinking.

The fourth brother forced himself to ignore Suihong's words and stared at Yiqing again, "Qi Rang, you have been hiding behind her and not saying anything. Can't you think of an excuse?

This time, how are you going to prove your innocence? Are you going to use [Self-Examination] again? "

He also did not hide his malice.

In Yiqing's current condition, she simply cannot withstand a second questioning.

If you insist on doing so, the next time you question your conscience, the accident that occurs will not only damage your cultivation, but also endanger your life.

"I heard that Senior Sister Qi's cultivation was damaged because of questioning her conscience, but from what you said... could it be that the last time she questioned her conscience was also caused by you?" Suihong was from another sect after all. Although she had heard about this matter, she did not know the specific details. However, the fourth brother's remarks were enough for her to guess the truth.

The fourth brother snorted coldly but did not deny it.

"It was you who harmed Senior Sister Qi like this, you deserve to die!" Suihong was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he raised his sword to chop someone.

Yiqing quickly pulled her back and signaled her to stay calm.

Suihong turned her head, and when her eyes fell on Yiqing, she couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

Senior Sister Qi is such a talented person, how could she be so unlucky to have such a harmful fellow disciple?

Although she always told Senior Sister Qi that her cultivation would recover sooner or later, it was only to comfort her.

In fact, everyone knows that the damage caused by Questioning the Heart is irreversible, and it is unknown whether Senior Sister Qi can really find the magic treasure to restore her cultivation in the future.

"There's no need to ask your conscience." Yiqing spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it had a calmness that showed he was in control of the overall situation. "As long as we compete again, the answer will be clear."
