"Haven't you realized? We're the ones who lost!"
"No, buddy, I'm out of here, I'm jumping."
"Alright, alright, you little rascal..."
"Damn it, you bastard, let go of my hand!"
....
Amidst various tones of jealousy, complexity, and emotional breakdowns that felt like cell lysis, Xiao Li finally regained his mobility.
He looked up, only to see that her clear, cold eyes were dim and unreadable, and looking up from below, her pretty face was like snow under frost.
But amidst the countless distracting voices, Li Mo felt a sense of calm.
He heard a certain heart beating seemingly faster than usual?
"Cough!"
An untimely cough sounded, it was Shangguan Wencang.
Good times are always short-lived.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Mo could only sheepishly get up.
His mind was also a bit chaotic.
What had just happened?
Oh, he hadn't braked in time and had fallen into Ying Bing's arms.
Who could blame him when the Qi hidden in the Ice Cube's Sword Qi was too cold? Could he be blamed for this?
Li Mo thought, glancing at Ying Bing.
The young girl didn't look at him, and if it weren't for the lingering faint scent at the tip of his nose, everything that had just happened seemed as if it had never occurred.
But Xiao Li could be sure.
The heart that had suddenly started beating faster just now wasn't his own...
"It's good that none of you were injured."
"As for the outcome..."
Shangguan Wencang's gaze swept over the young man and woman, and a hint of speechlessness appeared in his eyes, which truly put him in a difficult position.
"He/She won."
The two spoke in unison.
Ying Bing was referring to the wager.
Li Mo, on the other hand, felt that he shouldn't take advantage and then act smug.
In all fairness, he had indeed lost just now, but after he fell into her arms, the Ice Cube didn't deliver the finishing blow.
In terms of strength, there was indeed a gap.
Unless he activated the World Seed and used the Panjie Meteor Hammer, but even he couldn't control that power, and it didn't fully belong to him yet.
After some thought, Li Mo said again:
"Our private wager, of course, only concerns the two of us."
Shangguan Wencang saw that his tone was sincere and that he had no attachment to the so-called Chief Disciple position, so he nodded:
"Since that is the case, Ying Bing shall be the first place in the Martial Arts Competition and the contemporary Chief Disciple."
As his voice fell.
Cheers erupted below the arena, and all the people on the high platform stood up, congratulating in unison.
The Chief Disciple among the current generation of Disciples, the future Sect Master of Qingyuan Sect, they naturally needed to express their approval.
Among the crowd.
The white-robed Young Master from Burning Jade Forest had a fervent gaze, and then looked at Li Mo beside him, revealing a hint of unconvincingness.
The blood-robed Young Master did not stand up, but his eyes no longer showed any relaxed ease, only an unresolvable sense of danger and contemplation.
On the arena.
"Yes."
Ying Bing was not too bothered by this title.
It was enough that she and Li Mo both made it into the top three.
The Chief Disciple of Qingyuan Sect held little significance; it wouldn't affect the System's ranking anyway.
The System ranked Prodigies; it didn't care about fame.
Shangguan Wencang showed a helpless expression.
He had some understanding of Ying Bing's character; she could truly be described as someone who disregarded external matters, and perhaps it was precisely because of this that she was able to reach a height that her peers found difficult to achieve.
The two who were qualified to be Chief Disciple were both uninterested in the position, which was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
He stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly:
"Those who ranked high in this Martial Arts Competition will all receive rewards."
"The top three can enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose a unique martial art, and the other Disciples will receive various rewards."
"Your talents are outstanding, and in the future, you will all be pillars of the sect. The current world situation is turbulent, and I hope you will continue to maintain your progressive spirit."
........
As soon as unique martial arts were mentioned.
Countless gazes once again turned to the two who possessed Heavenly Frost and Scarlet Firmament respectively. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The rumors about these two swords could be said to be ever-popular within the sect.
Were these rumors true or false?
If these two were to obtain the corresponding sword arts, it would probably finally be the time for the truth to be revealed.
......
Just as the Martial Arts Competition concluded.
On this day, many changes occurred within the sect, and many rumors also emerged.
However, life in Autumn Water Pavilion remained as usual.
Li Mo hummed a little tune, clanging pots and pans in the kitchen as he cooked, the stream flowing through the courtyard gurgled, and the stream had been getting more Spiritual Qi lately, making the peach blossoms by its side bloom exceptionally vibrant and brilliant.
A petal fell with the wind, landing gracefully on a turning page, becoming the young girl's bookmark.
The book clearly read:
"Moon Splendor Sword Classic"
And a "Sun Wheel Sword Classic" was quietly placed not far away.
"Dinner's ready."
Li Mo poked his head out of the kitchen.
Ying Bing got up and went to the kitchen to help carry the dishes.
"Master, Master?"
Li Mo patted the woman on the rocking chair, but she remained motionless, only leaving a beautiful back.
Xiao Li thought she was asleep, so he walked around to the front.
But he saw that Master's eyes were vacant, as if she had lost her Soul, and she was still muttering to herself.
Leaning closer to listen, it sounded like she was saying: "My money... my money..."
Li Mo: "......"
Master seemed to be bankrupt again, and her heart was broken.
But this ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) wasn't his fault either.
Xiao Li knew how to handle this situation; he took out two jars of fine wine and placed them by her hand. After she got drunk and woke up, she would be full of Origin Qi.
After doing all this, he returned to the table.
While eating, he began to read the sword classic.
It was his first time encountering a unique-grade sword technique, even if it was only a Low Grade unique martial art.
But after reading for a while, he let out a long sigh.
Unique sword techniques are really difficult...
He felt like a middle school student doing college-level problems.
Is the Ice Cube...
"I'm done reading."
A "Moon Splendor Sword Classic" was suddenly handed to him.
It meant she wanted to exchange it with him to read.
Li Mo was speechless; he wouldn't be able to learn it anytime soon anyway, so he handed over the sword art in his hand.
After a while, Ying Bing's faint voice sounded:
"Did you figure anything out?"
"Hmm... I'll read it again when I go back to my room."
Li Mo buried his head in his food.
He knew all the characters in both sword arts, but when put together, why did they feel so unfamiliar?
After dinner, Li Mo, holding the two sword arts, was about to return to his room.
But Ying Bing's words came from behind him:
"Tonight, don't stay next to me."
"It's best to be a little further away."
Hmm?
Li Mo didn't understand, but he nodded:
"Then I'll sleep in the side room."
Ying Bing looked up at the moon, which had not yet fully risen in the sky.
Today was the day the System's comparison results were revealed.
It was also an Yin month and Yin day, the time of the full moon in a year.
Her Physique would be exceptionally terrifying today, even she couldn't fully control it, only able to narrow the scope of its impact.
Thump—
The sound of the young man going upstairs came.
She couldn't help but withdraw her gaze and look at the figure going upstairs.
"That last move he used."
"Was it also obtained through an Opportunity?"
"His talent doesn't seem to be limited to the Dao of the Sword."
Dispelling all distracting thoughts one by one.
Ying Bing also returned to her room, quietly waiting for time to pass by little by little.
At this moment, other matters were not important.
This life was slightly different from her past experiences, and many unexpected things had also happened.
But.
The outcome would not change.
