Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"Let's wait a few days, after the main competition is over. I'll just play an exhibition match. General Jing Yuan said he was afraid it would upset the other competitors, so he simply postponed my match. This way, I can watch the competition in peace for a few days."

I have to say that Jing Yuan is really reliable in his work.

"Um... Is Mr. Qingzhu also a contestant?"

Luca asked curiously.

"Since you are her friend, just call me Zhuqing."

Luca nodded somewhat stiffly. On the way here, his coach, Xing, had been talking about Mr. Qingzhu, praising him generously and saying a lot.

Now that he had met the real person, he was really nervous.

"I'm not a serious competitor. I was invited to participate in an exhibition match. As for my opponent... it's a secret for now."

For something like this, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Even Feixiao herself had only heard that Zhuqing was going to have an exhibition match, and she didn't know who her opponent was.

She asked, but Zhu Qing didn't say anything, so she didn't ask again.

Anyway, when she goes to watch the game, she will always know who her opponent is.

After the three of them stood there and chatted for a while, Luca said goodbye first. He still had to go back to prepare for the game. However, after walking out like this, his mood calmed down a lot.

This is probably Xing's purpose. Although this little raccoon looks carefree, he is actually very thoughtful.

"That's your original intention, right? But I never thought you would go and help with the turnover yourself."

Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked somewhat innocent.

"Anyway, idle is idle."

She is more of a middleman than a coach. She knows a lot of people in Luofu. Moreover, she is also famous as an unknown guest, which makes it convenient for her to help Luca deal with various things.

According to Xing's introduction, Luca, who came from a planet that had not been in contact with the universe for hundreds of years, was unfamiliar with Luofu. With Xing's help, at least Luca could play the entire game safely. If he was lucky, he might even take this opportunity to introduce his hometown and promote economic development.

This little raccoon is really thoughtful.

"That's right, I forgot that you are now an unknown guest."

For Wumingke, helping others is itself a form of exploration.

"Will my godfather come to the competition these days?"

"Of course, some of my friends will be participating, and I plan to go and see them."

Zhu Qing smiled and said, "It's getting late. I should go back now. I'm leaving now."

Xing waved his hand, watched Zhu Qing go away, and couldn't help but sigh.

She brought Luca out because she really wanted to let Luca see the strength of his adoptive father. Unfortunately, although Zhu Qing was warlike, he didn't like to fight in such a meaningless situation.

She knocked her head and realized that she should have taken Luca to find Dan Heng earlier, so that Luca wouldn't be unable to display his own strength because of his worry about the strength of his opponent and be sent back home in one wave.

Beloberg really needed this opportunity. She also had friends on the frozen planet. She didn't have much power and couldn't help them solve the problem of the planet being frozen, but she could still do these little things.

......

three days later.

The competition was going on vigorously. The players in this martial arts ceremony were all quite strong and the matches were exciting. The audience seats were packed every day.

This is still the case when identity verification is strict. If the Luofu officials relax the conditions, I am afraid that the entire Jingfeng ship will start to be crowded.

Fortunately, there are some seats that do not sell tickets to the public, so there are fewer people in these places, and at least there is still enough distance for talking.

In the audience, Robin was wearing an extremely low-key outfit, watching the competition below. The stage of the martial arts ceremony was very lively, and even someone like her who liked quietness couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.

Well, of course, she can only come and join in the fun. It’s a bit embarrassing for her to go on stage.

The game was so intense that it was easy to lose track of time. It wasn't until a bottle of Suleda was placed before her eyes that she came to her senses. The girl looked up and saw those bright eyes.

The little bird also curved its eyebrows and laughed.

"It's not bad to join in the fun every now and then, right?"

“Very exciting~”

Music has its own charm, and battle naturally has its own aesthetics. Although the principles are different, appreciating beauty is something that everyone can learn naturally.

The competition is not as bloody as a life-and-death fight, so the viewing experience is naturally better, and even birds can experience the fun of it.

"I'm now looking forward to your performance during the competition~"

"Come on, come on."

Zhu Qing smiled and looked towards the competition field. "It seems Yan Qing will be on the court soon, right?"

Unlike other competitions, the martial arts ceremony did not end with a champion, but rather with defending the ring. Of course, defending the ring could not be a continuous round-robin battle, otherwise, after a few days, everyone who came would have to lie down.

Because many participants did not have invitations, the martial arts ceremony launched another competition, the knock-down competition.

The knockout competition welcomes all participants, regardless of their level, so it is also the competition with the most matches every day. The contestant who wins the knockout competition will be able to compete with the defending swordsman.

The defending swordsman only needs to fight with those who received invitations and those who won the knockout match every day, which greatly reduces the intensity of defending the ring.

"Looking at the schedule, it should be soon."

The schedule was constantly circulating on the screen in the distance.

"That's pretty fast indeed."

Zhu Qing took off his cloak and sat next to the bird. He put half of his foot on the edge of the seat and his hand naturally rested on the other shoulder of the robin.

The bird just took a look and then looked away with a smile. Zhu Qing's arm seemed to be hanging naturally, resting on the side of his chest, but if it was really hanging naturally, it would not be possible to just hang it next to him vaguely.

Obviously, Zhu Qing is not as cool as he looks.

After spending some time together, Xiaoniao also discovered that Zhuqing was not so calm when he was with him. He had just been a businessman for a long time and was very good at controlling his emotions and expressions. If he hadn't observed carefully, he might not have been able to see it.

She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare. If she really laughed, Zhu Qing would definitely hold a grudge against her and might take revenge on her at any time.

Just as Xiaoniao was about to change the subject, Xing and Sanyue came over.

"Ms. Robin, Zhuqing! Good afternoon~"

March is still wearing the Xianzhou-style clothes and looks full of energy.

"good afternoon."

Robin waved and greeted, and March sat down in an empty seat across from her. She leaned over and looked at Zhuqing with a strange expression.

"Zhu Qing... don't you think your action is a little... strange?"

"Hmm? What's weird about that?"

"You look like you're teasing someone else's little girl."

"..."

Xiaoniao couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Zhuqing's action was indeed a bit presumptuous, but fortunately, he was handsome enough, so he looked more casual, not like he was teasing a little girl as Sanyue said.

Zhuqing put down his legs and put his arms around Robin's shoulders. The girl was stunned by the sudden movement, but soon she relaxed and leaned her weight on Zhuqing.

"Have you finished your game?"

Upon hearing this, Sanyue's face turned bitter.

"It's all over..."

Zhu Qing looked over curiously. Even though Sanyue had only practiced swordsmanship for a few days, her physical fitness was there. It was not that easy to beat her.

"March 7th encountered a genius swordsman, and despite all his efforts, he was unable to defeat him."

Xing spoke and told the truth.

"..."

"Hey~ Can you speak?! I'm obviously the genius swordsman! The defending swordsman is hundreds of years old! I was just giving way to the old man!"

Sanyue still had a tough mouth. She was a genius who had won seventeen consecutive games in training matches!

"Losing seven games in a row is considered a courtesy?"

Although the top masters are scarce in Luofu Fairy Boat, there are still many Yunqi who are inferior to Yan Qing. As the defending swordsmen who have to defend the honor of Luofu, their strength is naturally impressive.

It is understandable that March 7th was defeated by them.

"What about Luca? Is he done?"

"Today's game is over. With the help of this baseball man, Luca has overcome many difficulties. I believe it won't be long before he can stand on the real competition stage and show his talents!"

"The knockout match... If I remember correctly, Mr. Potio should be one of the contestants in tomorrow's knockout match, right?"

Robin didn't know much about the upcoming schedule, but she still remembered a few familiar faces.

In addition to Potio, there is also Topa. Xiaoniao remembers that Zhuqing has a good relationship with them.

"Can Portio not come tomorrow?"

Xing's arrogance disappeared instantly. Obviously, she was well aware of the difference in strength between Poteo and Luca.

It cannot be said that there is no chance of winning, but it can be said that failure is inevitable.

"The chance for the resurrection match hasn't been used yet, right?"

Zhu Qing raised an eyebrow. "If he wants to carve out a path for his hometown this way, he'll inevitably have to face this kind of situation. Winning the defending match with overwhelming success won't be a good thing for him."

"If I remember correctly, Yan Qing is one of the challenging swordsmen in his group."

Based on Luca's current strength, he would be beaten by Yan Qing until his heart was shattered.

Losing to Poteo might be easier. After all, while Poteo might seem fierce, he's a good person and willing to help others in his own way. If Luca can pull himself together after a defeat, then at least he won't be completely depressed when facing another defeat.

"..."

"What if Luca becomes depressed and can't recover?"

"Then we can only say that we both made a mistake."

Zhuqing released the hand that was hugging the robin and stretched.

"I should also prepare for my game."

"Today?"

"It'll take another two days, but...never mind."

Zhu Qing shook his head. He had to be prepared to fight Feixiao when he was awake.

Feixiao is not the kind of person who would hold back during a competition just because she thinks you are an acquaintance. She will only give her all to express her respect.

She is even more warlike than Zhuqing.

"Let's continue watching the game."

......

As the competition continued, the lively atmosphere of the martial arts ceremony not only did not weaken, but became even more lively.

The Jingfeng, which was originally quite spacious, now seems a bit crowded.

The competitions in the past few days are also quite heavyweight. There is no need to say much about the defending match. Although not everyone invited by Luo Fu is a master, 70% of them are. Needless to say, it is very exciting.

The knockout match was full of talented people. First, Potio made a wonderful appearance, followed by Toppa, a company executive, who also appeared on the scene, and the pure and beautiful knight Yinzhi served as the referee of the resurrection match.

These people, who are usually nowhere to be seen, now appear one after another. Zhu Qing doesn't know how the audience feels, but at least Jing Yuan should be very happy.

He stood in the audience, looking at the stage below with a smile on his face.

"Since the Jianmu disaster, Luofu hasn't been this lively for a long time."

Jing Yuan's tone was very relaxed. "Master Yan, what do you think of the martial arts ceremony this time?"

"Haha, this martial arts ceremony is so lively and exciting that even I, an old man, can't help but get a little excited."

"If Elder Yan is interested, how about I accompany you for a few moves?"

Huaiyan glanced at Jingyuan and shook his head.

"No, no, I'm old, and my old bones can't stand any more torture. But General Feixiao, do you have any contestants you're interested in?"

Hearing this, Feixiao spread his hands helplessly.

"After watching for a few days, I've been itching to do anything, but my military advisor has issued a death order, forbidding me to do anything."
