There was a deathly silence in the audience, everyone could hear their own heartbeat, and the reason why they didn't hear the breathing of others was because everyone's attention was focused on the slender silver-black dragon sword, and they had forgotten to breathe.

The icy aura from Long Yi's sword blade eroded his entire body through Xue Man's Adam's apple, making him shiver all over his body, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the eyes of the gray-clothed man in front of him, only to feel that the man's eyes were as sharp and unprovoked as the sword in his hand, and he felt a little dazzling.

This posture was maintained several times with a flick of the fingers, and everyone also looked at the fingers several times, and some people were already a little out of breath because they had not breathed for too long, their faces were pale, and they couldn't help coughing, and they were glared at by the people around them, and then they covered their mouths.

Finally, Qi Qi put away his sword. With a bang, Long Yi slipped into the scabbard like a swimming snake, he took a deep look at Xue Man, and Xue Man couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp and weak feet before he withdrew his gaze.

His thin lips opened slightly, and he said lightly, "Accept." ”

Then politely hugged his fists to everyone in the audience and stepped off the stage.

In wartime, it is sharp and breathtaking. Gentle and approachable when not at war.

Looking at Qi Qi's back gradually walking towards the edge of the martial arts arena, Xue Manman's weak knees finally hit the bluestone slab floor of the martial arts arena, his upper body collapsed, his hands were also propped up on the floor, his shoulders trembled, and he cried out with a "woo".

The first disciple of a generation of Qin Sect elders collapsed.

When Qi Qi descended the ladder of the martial arts arena, everyone around him consciously gave way, including those disciples of the Qin Sect.

This Jianghu has always been respected by the strong, even if your appearance is a little vulgar, as long as the sword in your hand is sharp enough, no one will dare to disrespect you.

Qi Qi got off the martial arts arena and walked towards the black figure in the crowd. The people on both sides bowed to him and clenched their fists, and they didn't dare to come out, and they were humble to the dust.

Looking at Qi Qi, who kept walking towards him, the corners of Xuanniao's ruddy mouth bloomed with a smile, and he was picturesque. Although Qi Qi, who was the focus of everyone, walked towards her and made her very stressed, she was more happy in her heart. Although Qi Qi and Na Xue Man do the same thing, because the people who do it are different, they do it in different ways. The feelings in her heart are naturally different.

When Qi Qi walked to a distance of nearly one zhang from Xuanniao, Xuanniao called "Qi Qi" charmingly, and the lotus step moved lightly, and the delicate body took the initiative to meet it.

When the two came together, Xuanniao subconsciously wanted to hug Qi Qi's sturdy waist, which made her feel very at ease, but immediately realized that her current relationship with Qi Qi did not support her to do so, so she pressed this impulse hard.

just twisted the hem of his clothes with both hands, stared at Qi Qi, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he smiled lightly.

Qi Qi also looked at Xuanniao, but there was still a heart in his eyes, not as many Xiao Jiujiu as Xuanniao, and asked, "Didn't the disciple do anything to you?"

Xuanniao shook his head and said, "No, it's just..."

He stopped talking again, his eyes didn't dare to look at Qi Qi anymore, and there was a trace of entanglement in Qiushui's eyes.

At this time, Qi Qi suddenly broke through, "It's just that he held his hand, right?"

"Huh?! You... You know all about it...?" Xuanniao looked up at Qi Qi, his eyes widened, and Sakura said with his lips slightly open.

While Xuan Niao was happy that Qi Qi had been paying attention to her, he was also entangled in how to explain it to Qi Qi. After all, his hand was really held by Xue Man, even if it was separated by a layer of sleeves.

Qi Qi smiled and said, "Then the disciple is holding you, how can I not see it when you are so flamboyant that you can't see it all over the world?"

"That's... That—" Xuanniao opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and could not be spoken.

"Huh?" Qi Qi tilted his ears slightly, and let out a surprise sound.

"That's... You were at the time... Why didn't you do something?" Xuanniao's dark eyes kept rolling when he said this.

Qi Qi smiled and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”

"You... Aren't you angry?" the bird lowered his head even more, and his chin was about to touch his chest.

"I've taught him a lesson now," Qi Qi said with a smile.

Xuanniao was worried, "We... Now that he is like this, after we go up the mountain, will those elders in the sect blame us?"

Qi Qi put his hand on Xuanniao's shoulder, handed her his own temperature, and said softly, "It's just a competition, and it didn't hurt him, at most I can compensate him for a piano." Moreover, Qin Zonggui is a major sect in the rivers and lakes, with a head and a face, he will not be so unreasonable. ”

Xuanniao was so taken by Qi Qi's hand that his body froze, but there was also a hint of joy in his heart. Hearing Qi Qi say this, he raised his head, plucked up the courage to look at Qi Qi's pair of dark eyes, and said, "Well, I'll listen to you!"

Qi Qi smiled lightly, and the hand on Xuanniao's shoulder rubbed slightly, expressing comfort.

The Xuanniao is very useful, the head of the mantis gradually lowered, and the little bird depends on people, but it is a pity that he can't really stick his face to Qi Qi's strong chest, so it will be perfect.

After that, Xue Man picked up his tail and shrank in the corner in a daze, which made all the brothers and sisters who knew his character curious, but seeing that he exuded a frustration that could be felt from afar, he didn't bother.

Qi Qi and Xuan Niao waited patiently, and examiners who had passed the preliminary examination came from all directions, making the central square more and more crowded. After nearly an hour passed, the place was already crowded, and at the same time, it was the end of the first assessment stage that Xue Man said. So some of the disciples of the Qin Sect stayed here and presided over the order, while the other part led a group of examiners who had passed the preliminary examination and some of their entourage to Lingqin Mountain.

At this time, it was still noon.

Lingqin Mountain is located two miles north of Baiqin City, and the history of Lingqin Mountain itself is difficult to trace, but it has existed at least 700 years ago when the ancestors of the Qin Sect established their sect here during the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms.

Now, after 700 years of development, the foundation of Qinzong has been extremely strong.

Lingqin Mountain Zhong Heaven and Earth aura, beautiful mountains and clear waters, beautiful scenery. As soon as everyone left Baiqin City, under the guidance of the disciples of the Qin Sect, they saw the towering Lingqin Mountain rising from the ground in the distance. True to its name, the whole mountain takes on a slightly sloping guqin-shaped, slightly thinner at the ends and slightly thicker in the middle.

Looking at this legendary Lingqin Mountain, all the people who saw this mountain for the first time flashed a trace of amazement in their eyes, and they couldn't help but become more and more fascinated and curious about the mysterious color attached to the Qin Sect.

The same is true of the Xuanniao in the crowd, and there is a touch of emotion in his heart, once upon a time he thought that he would have to stay in that small workshop for the rest of his life, and stroke the piano for those spectators who spend all his life drinking, but now, he already has the qualification to go to Lingqin Mountain to participate in the re-examination of the sect.

It's embarrassing.

Nearly half an hour later, everyone came to the foot of Lingqin Mountain, under a close look, the majesty of Lingqin Mountain is even more amazing, and in the valley, there is also a curling piano sound slowly floated out, like a fairyland.

When they came to the mountain gate, everyone found that there were two male and female disciples dressed in white, with black hair and fluttering clothes, sitting in the void, stroking the qin on their thighs, and the sound of the qin wafting out.

"Everyone, follow me up the mountain!" said Xue Man, who was in the lead, and led everyone up the mountain.

As the Lingqin Mountain goes deeper and deeper, the green show between the mountains and rivers is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, here the mountains are stacked, the valley reverberates with the sound of the long qin, and the snow-white birds soar in the meantime, and the call is far-reaching. Looking at the sky, the surrounding mountain peaks rise from the ground, not high but not topless, hidden in the clouds and mist.

Xuanniao followed behind Qi Qi, and both of them were in the crowd. She twisted the corners of Qi Qi's clothes, and she followed suit, very well-behaved. Maybe the only thing that can make her feel gratified now is this, a woman who can't be Qi Qi, it's still okay to have some "kisses" like this with him.

She looked at the valley under her feet that was covered in clouds and mist, and a sigh of emotion surged in her heart, so she gently poked Qi Qi's back.

"Huh?" Qi Qi was shocked, looked back at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The scenery here is so beautiful, don't you think?" Xuan Niao looked into his eyes and said, there was a hint of hope in her autumn eyes, hoping that Qi Qi would have the same answer as her.

But her hopes were dashed.

Qi Qi glanced at the valley under his feet lightly, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said lightly, "If you are used to seeing it, you don't feel it." ”

"Is that so—" Xuanniao's eyes dimmed, like a dark cloud hanging over her head.

As if sensing her changes, Qi Qi hurriedly smiled and said with relief, "Don't care what I think, you just like it, what do you care about me?"

Xuanniao looked at Qi Qi's eyes, and when he said so casually, Qiushui's eyes couldn't help but darken, so he stopped looking at him, withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and stopped twisting the corners of his clothes with his hands, put them into his field of vision, and clasped each other's hands.

A deep pathos swelled up in my heart.

I like you, and of course I care what you think.

Seeing her withdraw her hand, Qi Qi smiled faintly, "Then follow it well, don't lose it." ”

Then turn around.

After that, the two were speechless. But before he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Xuanniao's silver teeth bit slightly, and he already felt a faint pain in his feet.

Yes, although she patted her chest and said that she was not a delicate and soft woman, it was at most her heart, and her heart could become strong because of a word, and her body would not become tough immediately because of this.

She had to look around, so she chose to fall behind, but fortunately, she and Qi Qi were already at the back of the team, and no one noticed her now.

She hid behind a bluestone, squatted down, and took off her black cloth shoes, which immediately frightened her pretty face to turn white.

I saw that the pair of delicate feet were already overflowing with blood between their fingers, and there were also moist blood beads popping out one after another, which was shocking. Looking at the footboard again, it is also blue and purple, which is unsightly.

She has always been most proud of her feet, when she was in the piano workshop, the sisters often praised her feet, saying that they were delicate and lush, like jade fat, like fragrant steamed buns.

When sisters talk about whose feet are better-looking, they inevitably mention her first.

But this pair of jade feet, which she is proud of, is now no longer seen because of the trekking through mountains and rivers.

She carefully pinched her sleeve to wipe it, and the blood seeped into the sleeve at once, staining it red. But how do you wipe it off? Wipe some off, and some new ones will come out. He immediately stopped, not daring to wipe it again, otherwise he was afraid that he would die here.

Partial... She's been behind for so long, and no one has come to see her.

As soon as I thought of this, tears broke the embankment and could no longer be suppressed from my eyes.

"Woo... I hurt so much..."

"There's a lot of blood..."

At this moment, a warm voice sounded, like a camellia blooming in the wild, bright and heartwarming.

"Don't cry, I'm here. ”

Xuanniao looked up sharply.

In sight.

Qi Qi smiled at her.
