Take a Sigh

Shen Zhuo didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was covered with a quilt, and there was a brand new set of clothes on the bedside.

Shen Zhuo knew it was broken at a glance, and he was not in the mood to reminisce about what happened last night, so he quickly put on his clothes and went to the arena.

This year, more disciples took part in the martial arts test and alchemy test than ever before. Among these people, there are many people who join in the fun. They are waiting outside the arena, chatting loudly or whispering.

The arena was in the east, Shi Yuanye and Ling Shuangxue arrived early, and the elders and other peak masters also came one after another.They greeted each other, invited to sit down, and looked forward to this year's Zongmen Grand Competition.

The Mohists were arranged as guests on the lower right stand, and next to them was Xu Qi who had already occupied a seat.Today's weather was cloudy and cold, the sun hid in the thick clouds and couldn't see through, but Xu Qi still held up an umbrella.

If it weren't for the big gambling this year, he wouldn't want to come out of the minaret.

Xu Qi's mood became brighter when he thought of the people outside who were constantly betting, and then looked at their bets.As a businessman, no matter who wins, he has a way to avoid losses.

But since he gambled a lot, Xu Qi would not be reconciled if he didn't make some money.

Just as Xu Qi was thinking, he suddenly noticed a line of sight staring at him. Xu Qi remained calm and leaned on the stand to swallow the clouds. Using the cover of the smoke, he could clearly see that the person who was looking at him was Mo Qingyu.

Ever since this eldest lady came to the gate of the Immortal Moon Sect, she has caused many discussions, and Xu Qi has also been noticed secretly, and she has not found anything unusual.This eldest lady does things in a satisfactory manner, and people can't find faults and can't applaud her.

But now that she was looking at Xu Qi so undisguisedly, Xu Qi felt a little uncomfortable.Probably because of the strange appearance caused by the illness, he has never liked other people's eyes to stay on him for too long.

Xu Qi had a bad temper, and regardless of the identity of the other party, he turned his head and asked coldly: "Miss Mo, have you seen enough?"

Mo Qingyu was not embarrassed to see peeking being exposed by others, and said: "I just rarely see senior brother with this kind of illness, and I am just curious for a while. If there is any offense, please also senior brother Haihan."

Mo Qingyu smiled apologetically, looked away, and said no more.

Xu Qi couldn't help frowning, his body was born out of a mother's womb, and no one who asked him could tell why.He was regarded as a freak since he was a child, afraid of the sun, so he could only live in darkness and suffer a lot.

In these years, he has often run into walls in order to seek medical treatment, and it was only when he met Shen Zhuo that his situation improved.Although Shen Zhuo did not mention his specific illness, the elixir he gave was very effective.

If Mo Qingyu had said this to Xu Qi a few days earlier, Xu Qi might still have some snacks, but now that he has Shen Zhuo by his side, Mo Qingyu's remarks sounded not only painless, but also let Xu Qi feel strange.

Shen Zhuo is from a family of alchemists, so it's not surprising to know this, it's just that he was dragged down by the reputation of trash before, and he wasn't dazzling enough.

But the Mo family doesn't follow this path. How did Mo Qingyu, a young lady who rarely shows up and does not make medicine, know?This is the first time Xu Qi and her have met today. When will people be able to see the clues of his illness at a glance?

Xu Qi was a little surprised, and his doubts were even heavier.He decided to ask Shen Zhuo after the game.

Mo Qingyu didn't know that not only did her sentence fail, but it also aroused suspicion. After she looked away, she began to look for Jiang Ling outside the arena.Today's match was unusual for Jiang Ling, and it was his battle of fame.

Even after knowing the ending, Mo Qingyu couldn't help but feel excited. Appreciating it at such a close distance is far more exciting than limited pen and ink.

Mo Qingyu threw all her heart and soul into Jiang Ling, completely unaware that someone was also secretly looking at her and the Mo family.

Ling Shuangxue leaned on the chair, rubbing her forehead, her divine sense swept across the entire venue, she didn't feel the heavy breath, and she felt restless.

When he woke up today, he felt something was wrong, his clothes were disheveled, Shen Zhuo was unkempt, the memory of yesterday was intermittent, he only knew that he forced Shen Zhuo into bed, and he couldn't remember anything after that.

Ling Shuangxue still has some understanding of her own wine, it is impossible to go crazy with alcohol, at most she likes to find something to hug when she sleeps, don't think about it, he must have regarded Shen Zhuo as a pillow.

Hugging the apprentice for a whole night was fine, but Ling Shuangxue took off his clothes...

This was really embarrassing enough, Ling Shuangxue didn't wait for Shen Zhuo to wake up, put the clothes prepared for him on the bedside, and brought Jiaojiao to the arena almost in a panic.

Seeing that the match was about to start, Shen Zhuo was still there, Ling Shuangxue looked at Jiaojiao who was about to snatch the nine-tailed cat away from Yuan Ye when she was sneaking up, and asked if she wanted to let it go and see.

"Why hasn't your apprentice come yet?"

Before Ling Shuangxue could figure out the answer, Shi Yuanye who was on the side had already approached, and Jiaojiao took advantage of the opportunity to abduct the Nine-Tailed Cat, returned to Ling Shuangxue with it in her mouth, and wrapped the Nine-Tailed Cat in her arms.

Shi Yuanye gritted his teeth and didn't bother with it, but looked at Ling Shuangxue, who was not in good spirits, with concern, and asked what happened.

Naturally, Ling Shuangxue couldn't tell Shi Yuanye about getting drunk, so she found an excuse for the cold weather.

Shi Yuanye knew that he was like this in winter, so he didn't doubt it too much, and let him go back to rest if he was on weekdays, so he didn't have to participate in such tedious things.But this year is about Shen Zhuo, even if he is uncomfortable, he will keep an eye on the whole process.

Shi Yuanye didn't say much, but put on a cloak for him to make him sit more comfortably.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao turned into a child, biting the back of the Nine-Tailed Cat's neck, jumped onto Ling Shuangxue's knee, got into the cloak and lay on his lap, so that he could brush his fur and warm his hands.

Being Jiaojiao and considerate, Ling Shuangxue's mood improved.

In just a short while, Shen Zhuo hurriedly arrived outside the arena.

Wearing the clothes prepared by Ling Shuangxue, he ran all the way, catching up to the last moment dangerously.Crazy Cao, who had been waiting outside seeing him not coming for a long time, saw him, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over.

"Junior Brother Shen, the deputy suzerain came so early, why are you so late?"

Crazy Cao was out of concern, but these words reminded Shen Zhuo of what happened last night, and his face immediately turned dark.He explained something vaguely, afraid that Crazy Cao would ask, so he quickly changed the topic.

To cope with the gap between Crazy Cao, Shen Zhuo glanced at Dongtai, and his eyes happened to meet Ling Shuangxue.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then shifted their eyes in embarrassment.

The time for the Zongmen Grand Competition came, and Shi Yuanye didn't talk too much, and quickly got to the point after a few simple opening remarks.He looked at the contestants who were gearing up and asked them all to enter the arena.

"This year you have a large number of participants, waiting for you one-on-one, I don't know that it will take until the year of the monkey. So after discussing with the elders, I decided to set up a knockout match before the one-on-one."

Shi Yuanye's voice was not loud, but could be heard from every corner of the arena. He took out a jade slip and threw it into the air, then a white light flashed, and an illusory door appeared on the arena.

"This is the Misty and Illusory Realm. It's a replica of Qianyi Mountain. Your knockout round is to enter here to hunt monsters to get points. The higher the level of monsters, the higher the points. The time limit is three hours, and the top [-] players will be ranked in the final points." Enter the next round. Although this is an illusion, the crisis is real. If there are disciples who want to quit in the middle, just shout and quit the game."

Shi Yuanye introduced the rules of the competition, and gave each disciple a token to inject their spiritual consciousness into activation.The name of the disciple, the points, and the rewards of the points appeared on the token soon.

"The arena is like a battlefield. This token is your qualification. If the token is destroyed, not only will you lose your qualification, but the points in the token will also be transferred."

Shi Yuanye added that once the audience was in an uproar, the transfer of points meant that they could snatch the points from the same team.This undoubtedly planted the seeds of suspicion and calculation for everyone from the very beginning, waiting to take root and germinate after entering the Misty Illusion.

The participating disciples were full of vigilance and looked at each other, thinking about how to snatch it most effectively.

Shen Zhuo held the token thoughtfully, only thinking about grabbing the part of the people who chose to ignore another gift of points.Shi Yuanye gave two choices, cannibalism and cooperation.

The Misty Illusion is the same proportion as Qianyi Mountain, and the danger can be imagined. If you don't want to become the same prey as the monsters, don't choose to die alone.

No matter how you look at it, Shen Zhuo feels that this rule is very unfriendly to him. In the face of short-term interests, other people will hold their noses and join forces even if they have evil intentions.Only him, as the default public enemy of the participating disciples, the possibility of joining forces with others is too small. Once he enters it, he may be targeted immediately.

Shen Zhuo can think of this, and other people can naturally react, and soon the eyes of others looking at him become different.Provocative, disdainful, malicious... They already have the answer in their hearts, and in their view, Shen Zhuo is also a prey.

Faced with these malice, Shen Zhuo just smiled, without any fear in his eyes.Until the last moment, it is not known who is the hunter and who is the prey.

Compared with the confident appearance of the participating disciples, the elders on the stage looked at Shen Zhuo with different expressions, and their expressions were quite exciting.They looked at each other, and looked at the lazy Ling Shuangxue in unison, hesitating to speak.

Ling Shuangxue glanced at them and said, "The elders are not outsiders, so you can say whatever you want."

The time before the game was boring, Ling Shuangxue wanted to find some fun for herself.

The elders laughed for a while, not everyone dared to blame Ling Shuangxue.After all, the new generation is the younger generation, and the last ones who dare to speak are the elders of the sect.

"Deputy Sect Master, this is your fault, you are clearly cheating." Elder You, with long eyebrows and white beard, sat on the left side, with a serious expression, he could see that he was very dissatisfied with Ling Shuangxue's behavior.

Ling Shuangxue hummed, indicating that she was listening and let them continue.

Elder You was not polite, and said: "Shen Zhuo's body from head to toe should be refined by you personally, such a high defense, not to mention the illusion, even our old bones, he can also pass the trick .”

As soon as Elder You finished speaking, the others quickly echoed.The disciples couldn't see the tricks in Shen Zhuo's body, they elders were not blind, they could all see clearly.

All Shen Zhuo wears are high-level defensive magic weapons, and the defensive attributes are fully filled in one go.Among the disciples present, there were very few people who could hurt him. This was simply a green light, and the words "go through the back door" had already been thrown to the surface.

Ling Shuangxue didn't refute, and acquiesced to Elder You's words.When Shen Zhuo was attacked by the Mo family last time, Ling Shuangxue knew that he was not guarding Shen Zhuo all the time, but he could pile up defenses for Shen Zhuo, so high that the enemy was helpless.

"I don't like to hear Elder You's words. Isn't it normal for a master to prepare self-defense weapons for his apprentices? Even I have prepared several for Jiang Ling. The competition didn't say that you can't use magic weapons. Ling How can senior brother give Shen Zhuo a set as cheating?"

What Elder You said was indignant, but some people didn't like to hear it.Not far from the stands of the Mo family, a female editor dressed in pink and lotus root was sitting on her chest. Her face was like a peach blossom, she was twenty-eight years old, her eyes were bright and kind, and she was extraordinary and refined.She is Jiang Ling's master, Elder Wei Ying.

"Elder You, you guys are stingy and don't want to give your disciples extra preparations. Instead, you blame others for giving too much, which is out of style." Wei Ying was serious, and what she said could make her angry half-dead.

Elder You was stunned and stared, but after thinking about it carefully, Wei Ying was right.They are not as rich as Ling Shuangxue, and they can only refine their own weapons, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Ling Shuangxue no longer participated in their discussion, her eyes were all on Shen Zhuo.Shi Yuanye announced the start of the game, and the others entered the illusion one after another.

Shen Zhuo was not in a hurry, and waited for the others to leave, and then followed Crazy Cao slowly in.

All the contestants left, Shi Yuanye made a decision, and the illusory gate grew in the wind, and soon became a spherical projection screen, where you could see all the scenes in Mizonghuan territory.

Ling Shuangxue yawned, her eyes fell on the illusion.

The entrance to the illusion is the same, but the landing point is completely different.

Shen Zhuo and Crazy Cao were unlucky, they bumped into a large group of disciples who had gathered head-on, they looked at each other, the atmosphere was awkward and full of murderous intent.

The author has something to say: I didn’t write about the drunk part today, hey, I’ll continue tomorrow

The last small world has not been settled, which means that it is not over. Shen Zhuo thought that death was the end, but in fact, the world of death and his homeland are the same mission, that is, his small world mission is still going on, but the system has been separated.
