These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"I understand! Senior brother, we will definitely work hard!"

"Okay, Red Carp, you go ahead. Don't worry, don't be nervous."

"Mmm... mmm..."

The red carp blushed its fair face and then went on stage.

At this point, Qiao Zhiheng had already conceded defeat and stepped off the stage. On the opposite side was Jiang Ying, who was stern-faced and expressionless.

Rumors about this girl have been rampant these past few days, mostly concerning her appearance, abilities, and her private relationship with another boy.

Some say she is that boy's junior sister.

Some say she's a senior female student, or even a wife, or some childhood sweetheart or something.

Basically, it's like the two of them are a perfect match, so any other members of the opposite sex who might be curious about them will have to give up on any ideas.

Even though the longing is gone, it's still good to see it once in a while.

When Jiang Ying stood in front of the red carp.

The boy looked at the girl, who was beginning to gain fame, with some timidity.

"Sister...please, please instruct me..."

The boy said in a low voice.

Jiang Ying glanced at the other person, then nodded indifferently.

"I will be careful."

What a scary girl...

Why doesn't she smile?

But I can't worry about that now! I have to do it myself! I can't let my senior down!

Never mind! Even if it's humiliating, I'll still go for it! As long as I don't cry, that's all that matters! Even if I lose, I'll lose gracefully!!

So the red carp rushed up.

He charged toward the girl who was wielding the strange greatsword.

And then... no more.

"Senior brother... Waaah... I... I've let you down... Waaah... I'm sorry... I..."

Qin Zipei looked at the red carp in front of her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she kept sobbing, trying hard not to cry, but tears were streaming down her face.

It seems that losing in front of so many people is a very embarrassing thing.

Qin Zipei finally grasped the boy's hand.

"Alright, alright... It's okay, it's okay, don't cry. You need to get used to losing slowly, and then you'll feel the joy of winning. The road ahead is long. Next... it's your turn, senior brother."

Qin Zipei smiled and slowly walked onto the stage.

Watching Qin Zipei's back gradually straighten, her thin back stood before him like a mountain.

"Go for it, senior!!"

"It's a green carp!" the carp shouted.

Red Carp clenched her fist, trying to speak, but she kept sobbing, even choking on snot.

Qin Zipei turned around and smiled.

"Ah."

Then, the moment I turned my face, a chill ran through me.

"Senior brother... I didn't know he would cry."

Jiang Ying said somewhat awkwardly.

He seemed somewhat embarrassed, instinctively ashamed that he had beaten an innocent boy to tears.

And this happened in front of so many people.

Wei Tu smiled and reached out to pinch the girl's cheek.

"It's okay, the best thing is that you're not hurt. Men grow up by crying, so don't worry about it."

"Well... you need to be careful of that person."

His gaze was directed at Qin Zipei, who had already taken the stage.

Wei Tu glanced at him; the man was looking at him too.

He smiled slightly, and Wei Tu stood up.

"I see."

Wei Tu took out his simple, unadorned, nameless longsword from his Qiankun bag, then left Jiang Ying and the camp, and slowly stepped onto the stage.

Right under everyone's noses.

It didn't take too long today, but many people have already seen the scene they wanted.

That means the two best-performing and most enigmatic teenagers are finally going to meet.

Yuan Jiacao was among them, and she was not ashamed to face anyone because she had lost the previous match.

Of course, there were also Miao Miao and others, and Murong Yuantai also squeezed into the front row of the crowd, wanting to see the duel between the two up close.

Huang Shang sat in the highest seat, looking calmly at the two young people.

He slowly rose to his feet and spoke in a clear voice.

"Qin Zipei of Xunxian Palace versus Wei Tu of Yuanjian Sect, let's begin!"

It was like the first bugle call to resound on the battlefield, the first war drum.

Although no smoke has yet risen, a sense of impending doom already permeates the air.

As the two stood facing each other, it was as if countless flashes of swords and shadows had already begun to clash.

Qin Zipei looked at Wei Tu.

"You are the only opponent I can't say I'm sure I'll win this time, but I will do my best because it's very important to me."

Wei Tu looked at the sword in his hand, then at his opponent.

"I hope you can hold on for a while... because I might be ridiculously strong."

"Hehe, Young Master Wei is as surprising as ever."

"I'm used to it. These days, you're embarrassed to be in the world if you don't say something harsh. Just understand."

"Shall we go then?"

"bring it on."

Wei Tu sighed.

Qin Zipei, on the other hand, took a deep breath.

The two have completely different temperaments.

But at the same instant, their tacit understanding was simply beyond measure.

Qin Zipei shot out like lightning, shattering the stone bricks beneath her feet!

On the other side, Wei Tu, dressed in white, moved gracefully like a flowing cloud or a gust of wind.

Leaves fall, and fallen flowers sink into the soil.

In Lin Yuan City.

The man with the goatee frowned; he was standing by the Dragon-Locking Well.

This well... is roaring. PS: That's all for now. There should be more updates today!

It was as if two bolts of lightning met in the deep clouds.

The two only briefly collided.

However, the intense friction between the swords and the powerful force caused the two figures to almost brush past each other.

No... it was a mere brush past.

"Sizzle—!"

A piercing, unsettling friction sound was followed by a sudden burst of brilliant sparks.

Amidst the leaping sparks, Qin Zipei gazed at Wei Tu's handsome face.

"You know my power, don't you..."

They seemed to be saying things that were hard to understand.

Having missed his chance with a single sword strike, Wei Tu turned around, only to find that Qin Zipei had vanished from where she should have been.

"Whoosh!"

But a clear whooshing sound came from above his head.

It was Qin Zipei, sword in hand, who descended from the sky with a swift and precise strike.

The audience below the stage couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"How did they achieve such a high speed?!"

"He was clearly right behind Wei Tu just now!"

"This is terrifying...this young man is terrifying!"

"boom!!"

Centered on Wei Tu, who appeared to be completely unprepared on the ground, the moment he landed, it felt as if a heavy hammer had struck him, even though he was holding a sword.

The roar landed on the ground at the moment of impact.
