Chapter 21 Responsibility

On the day of sunset, the stars shift...

Until the distant sky was covered with a faint whiteness of fish belly, Ling'er was still passionately immersed in the joy of breakthrough, without the slightest tiredness, and at the same time, Xi'er was the same!

As the sun slowly rose, a ray of morning glow reflected the sky, Ling'er hurriedly cleaned up in the house, and her passionate mood made her want to stop, eager to try her skills...

"Brother Mengxi, Brother Mengxi...", trotting all the way, Ling'er took the snow in her hand, rushed straight to Xi'er's room, and rushed in...

"Huh, what about people?" stopped in a daze, Ling'er looked at the empty room, and exclaimed suspiciously.

"The girl's house ran to the man's house early in the morning, what kind of body!" At the door, Shangguan Hongfei happened to pass by here, slanted at Ling'er in the house, and held his own set of etiquette behind his back, snorting coldly, and said in disgust.

Suddenly startled, Ling'er couldn't help but shudder, and turned her head a little sluggishly, but there was an extremely unnatural embarrassed smile on her face...

"Master... Grandfather... Why are you here..."

"If I don't come, won't you rebel against the sky?!"

"Why..."

"Even if he is your Mengxi brother, you must keep the distance you deserve, and girls must learn to be reserved!"

"Got it..."

"Hmph, he's doing martial arts, but he's much more diligent than you!"

"Hey, thank you, grandpa!"

Immediately, Ling'er held the drifting snow in her hand, and Nuo Nuo squeezed past Shangguan Hongfei at the door, quickly slipped out of the room, and rushed straight to the martial arts arena...

"Hmph! little girl...!" Looking at Ling'er's confident and cheerful back, Shangguan Hongfei showed a relieved smile in his heart, and left immediately.

"Brother Mengxi... Brother Mengxi...!" Before the person arrived, the sound of shouting had already arrived, Ling'er was still wearing light blue clothes, since Xi'er said that it was good-looking, light blue seemed to have become her symbolic color.

Although Ling'er's shouts pierced far away, however, Xi'er didn't respond, and when she got closer, it turned out that Xi'er was sitting in the middle of the martial arts arena meditating, and the place that was destroyed by Xi'er last night had already been repaired by the servants...

After a long time, the morning glow in the distant sky gradually faded, Xi'er slowly opened her eyes, and she didn't feel the slightest surprise at Ling'er's arrival...

"No wonder Grandpa said that you are more diligent than me, it turns out that you started cultivating so early...!" There was a burst of boos, and Ling'er said with some indignation.

"The qi of heaven and earth in the early morning is the purest, at this time, meditation and cultivation can not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also allow the qi to better integrate into oneself, didn't you say that you want to surpass me, you might as well join me tomorrow!" Smiling slightly, Xi'er slowly got up and said very seriously.

"Like Grandpa Xiao, not only a foodie, but also a cultivator!" a white eye, Ling'er stood with her arms in her hands, and said with a slight sarcasm.

"I have a deep hatred of blood, if I don't become stronger as soon as possible, when will I be able to hate it!"

"You still have me, let's two together, I don't believe I can't beat it!"

"It's because of you that I want to become stronger, so that I can protect you!" One hand on Ling'er's shoulder, Xi'er smiled slightly, and said resolutely: "Moreover, men's affairs should be settled by men themselves, and there are some things that cannot be replaced by others!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence, Ling'er's eyes flowed, and she was completely moved by Xi'er's words...

"Who wants you to protect it..."Returning to her senses slightly, Ling'er's eyes became a little blurry, she didn't dare to look directly at Xi'er, lowered her head, her arms drooped, and muttered in an embarrassed whisper.

"I've already lost once, so I can't tolerate the people I care about being hurt!" Unconsciously, the palm on Ling'er's shoulder silently tightened, and Xi'er said affectionately.

Ling'er, who was already a little ashamed, didn't dare to look directly at it, scanned the ground, and kept spinning!

"Oh...!What is not hateful, go out with me first and try your skills!" Breaking the warm picture, Ling'er suddenly raised her head and said.

Immediately, without waiting for Xi'er to react, Ling'er took a sword in one hand and took Xi'er's hand in the other hand and ran out, only Xi'er looked surprised...

"Try your hand?

"You'll know when you get there, let's go!"

"Huh?"

......

On the way, the two trotted all the way, talking as they ran, rushed straight out of the house, and threw off the confused door behind them...

The two shuttled through the crowd of early risers, ran straight out a few streets away, and a huge martial arts arena appeared in front of the two of them...

"That's what you're talking about?"

"Why, no!"

"But how can you be a girl here!"

"What's wrong with the girl, besides, I'm not an ordinary girl!"

β€œ......”

Looking at the competition venue in the distance, Xi'er couldn't help but question, Ling'er responded to Xi'er like indifferent, and after a while, the two came to the venue...

"Wow! That's a lot of people today!"

"What the hell is this crowded place?"

"This is the largest martial arts arena in the city, and it is specially prepared for cultivators below the Jiedan realm, as long as it is in this realm, anyone can participate, and the winner will also have a reward!"

"Is it safe here..."

"Of course! This venue is set up by the royal family, as long as you sign up for it, no matter what happens to the two sides in the competition, you can't be held accountable afterwards, and no one dares to violate it at this point!"

"Oh..."

Even though it was just after the morning, this martial arts arena was crowded with onlookers, and there were two people on the stage who were trying fiercely, and the two squeezed into the crowd of onlookers and walked straight to the registration office...

"I'm going to sign up for the competition!" Ling'er said excitedly in front of the registration office.

"Name, cultivation is the realm...", a middle-aged man in a dark robe, sat on a chair with his arms on the table, and said without looking at Ling'er.

"Shangguan Jialing, build the fourth order of the foundation!"

"Okay, go over there and wait, a suitable candidate will notify you later!" Slowly raising his arm, the man pointed to the side and said in a calm tone.

"Let's go, Brother Mengxi!" Holding the drifting snow in her hand, Ling'er gently grabbed Xi'er's arm and walked to the side, saying sweetly.

"It looks like you're familiar with this place!" Looking at Ling'er, who was familiar with the road, Xi'er said with emotion.

"Hehe, I usually don't have anything to do here, I often come here to play!"

"If there is no cultivator with the same realm as you, won't we wait in vain?"

"Don't worry, no, in order to avoid this problem, the royal family has sent three cultivators in the small section within each realm, so the problem you are worried about does not exist!"

"It's... This is also okay...!?" dumbfounded, Xi'er looked at Ling'er with twitches at the corners of her mouth, and her heart was full of emotion: "What a big stroke... Worthy of royalty...!"

"Hehe, I'm shocked, but these cultivators are just the tip of the iceberg of the royal family, and that's what the palace is called..."

"Huh... It's so miserable..."Looking at the player who was oozing blood from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, Ling'er raised his arm holding the sword, covered his mouth exaggeratedly, and booed...

Even if she was prepared, Ke Xi'er was still quite shocked, just a competition, and she would be so seriously injured!

"Thisβ€”" Xi'er exclaimed...

"Brother Mengxi, don't worry, if you feel that you are invincible, you can give up completely, and your life will not be in danger, this is the strict rule of the martial arts arena!" It seemed that seeing Xi'er's concern, Ling'er hurriedly explained.

"Really..."Even so, Xi'er still questioned with some concern.

Saying that, the two of them came to the waiting area, and after watching a few competitions in succession, the sun rose in mid-air, and at this moment, a young man in a long robe came to the side, arched his hand at the two, and said respectfully: "You are Shangguan Jialing, right?"

"Yes!"

"It's time for you to compete, please be ready to play!"

"Good!"

With that, the young man turned and left...

"Brother Mengxi, the snow is for you, then I'll go first!"

"Pay attention to safety, if you can't beat the enemy, you will abstain!"

"Got it!" Ling'er turned around and walked away, raised her right arm with her back to Xi'er and waved her hand, her cuffs slid down, revealing a white and delicate wrist, but in her heart, she would never abstain, otherwise it would be difficult for her to raise her head after ten years of silence!
