Chapter Twenty-Nine
Not long after Gu Qinghao left, Qin Chuyun was also called back by her family, saying that she wanted her to participate in the entertainment and meet some elders and peers of other sects. After she left, sure enough, Shangguan Ye also sent someone to look for him, thinking that he should also want him to make friends.
Shangguan Yu didn't come back halfway to take Jin Yuan to change clothes, part of the reason was also to escape the crowded banquet. But now the plan has been discovered, even if he is unwilling, he can't disobey his father's will, otherwise he will definitely feel better. I had no choice but to give up my plan to be lazy in the Lake Center Pavilion.
Before going back, Feng Jingyao made a special trip back to the Huxin Pavilion and brought a long sword with a white scabbard. The sword was snow-white, flawless, about half a man long, the sword body was extremely narrow and thin, as bright as a mirror, with a chilling chill, although the blade was thin and narrow, it was more sharp than other swords, and it looked very light and flexible. Its material is not iron, copper, or gold, I don't know what it is forged from, but as soon as it is out of the sheath, the people next to it will immediately feel surrounded by a sense of coldness, which is awe-inspiring.
Feng Jingyao handed the sword to Shangguan Yu and said, "I brought your remnant blade from Yanlan, you can't come to the Qingqiu banquet without a sword, otherwise let others say that you don't know how to be polite, and it will be a big deal for my uncle to be angry." β
Shangguan Yu took the sword, only glanced at it casually and hung it back on his waist: "It's still Jing Yao's thoughtfulness, otherwise I will be reprimanded by my father again, and I can't stand his scolding." β
When Feng Jingyao heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "You always look like no one can see you on weekdays, who would have thought that you are also a person who is afraid of your father's scolding, and I am afraid that no one will believe you when you say it." β
Shangguan Yu also had a headache about this, shook his head and said, "Alas, do you think I want to do this? Who made him my father, I can't help it." β
A few people hurried back after a little repair, and when they arrived, they were just in time for the high platform competition.
The so-called high-platform martial arts competition is to let the children of the family who come to the trial compete on the sword test platform, which is also one of the levels of this trial. Originally, this competition was just an ordinary competition to the point of view, with neither ranking nor punishment, but only for the purpose of communication.
But every family that came up to compete didn't think so, and they all had the intention of showing off their families. In their hearts, if they can win the championship on the field, it means that their family's exercises are more profound and subtle, and their family's strength is also the strongest. Therefore, every family attaches great importance to this competition, and they will send the best children in the family.
They found a place with a better view from the field and sat down, eating snacks and drinking tea while watching the competition.
They watched it for a while, and the people who came to the stage were all the direct children of various families, especially the sons and daughters of each family, and they were all on the stage.
I watched a few games, all of them are some ordinary roads, they haven't changed for many years, and they are all rotten to watch, and there are really no highlights in the fight. Shangguan Yu threw the orange peel in his hand, and looked at the stage with interest, the orange in his mouth was in his mouth, and his speech was a lot more vague: "It's so boring, what is there to see in this kind of competition." β
Xiao Hanfeng pursed his lips: "Not everyone is as talented as you, this is already the best disciple selected by each family, okay?
Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows, but he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that it was really boring, so he simply stopped looking at it and concentrated on eating and drinking. For him, the wine and food on the table are more meaningful than the competition on the stage, at least they can satisfy his appetite.
Xiao Hanfeng was not surprised to see that he was no longer talking, so he pursed his lips and turned to Feng Jingyao: "Jingyao, will you play in a while?"
Feng Jingyao sat elegantly, even if she was bored, she didn't have an impatient expression, and she watched the battle carefully for several weeks. Listening to his question at this moment, he turned his head slightly and said softly: "I just came out with my uncle to watch the excitement this time, not to participate in the trial, so I won't play." β
Xiao Hanfeng was a little disappointed when he heard this, and said with a sigh: "I thought I could see you on the field and make two moves, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how far your cultivation has been." β
Feng Jingyao pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head slightly, did not answer his question, and continued to watch the battle.
They were chatting when a bell suddenly rang on the stage, and then a Gu protΓ©gΓ© walked up.
"In the following competition, the condensation of the Xiangfu Duan clan splashed against the Yundu Xiao clan Xiao Hanfeng. β
Xiao Hanfeng in the audience immediately crossed his face after hearing this, he knew that his brother would definitely not let him go, and sure enough, he arranged it for him. Although it was expected, he was still unwilling to accept it when it was really announced at this moment.
Shangguan Yu and Feng Jingyao looked at him together, and seeing that he was unhappy, they first snickered twice, and then patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Go, it's okay, we'll watch you below." β
Xiao Hanfeng sighed, glanced at the two of them dejectedly, and finally reluctantly got up.
Shangguan Yu watched Xiao Hanfeng come to the stage, and said: "When I came just now, almost all the hundred families came, but I didn't see the Xiangfu Duan clan, and there doesn't seem to be a Duan family crest on this time. This banquet is so grand, the Duan family should not be lazy, and the hundred families are also counting on taking this opportunity to get closer to each family, how could the Duan family not show up for a long time?"
Feng Jingyao said: "You have not been in the Immortal Dao for a long time, so naturally you don't know the background of each family. The Duan family is upright, has always been arrogant, and has always been unique among the hundred schools, although he does not look down on other sects, but he does not pay much attention to them. For this banquet, they should also be the latest, and they should also deliberately not show up, anyway, they themselves don't bother to win over the relationship, and the others naturally don't care, so no one thinks it's strange. β
Shangguan Yu nodded after listening, it turned out that there were so many things in the Immortal Dao that he didn't know, it seemed that he had really been away for a long time, and it was time to get to know the Immortal Dao well.
At this time, the two people on the stage were already in place.
Shangguan Yu saw in the audience that the person who was walking towards Xiao Hanfeng turned out to be a woman dressed in red. This woman walks with her head held high, her posture is confident, there is no reserved man's step at all, she exudes a man's spirit and ease, and her demeanor is completely opposite to that of ordinary women. After seeing too much of the beauty of fat powder, at first glance, she is really eye-catching.
Shangguan Yu carefully observed her dress. I saw that she was wearing a Duan's family uniform as red as fire, with silver armor on her shoulders, wrists, waist and abdomen, and boots. Her appearance is also sharp and cold, although beautiful, but too strong, so the first impression is often that more manly force, rather than her beauty. There is also a very conspicuous drop-shaped red gem on her forehead, which complements her red dress, which not only shows her heroic spirit, but also shows the extraordinary status of her, which suddenly adds a lot of brilliance and charm.
Seeing her dressed up, Shangguan seemed to remember something, he didn't know many people in the Immortal Dao, but it happened that he had heard of this person when he was in Qingmiao Peak.
It is said that there is a female general in the Duan clan in Xiangfu, who is the righteous daughter of Duan Mocang, the head of the Duan family. This female general has followed Duan Mocang to the battlefield since she was twelve years old, sleeping in the open air, fighting hand-to-hand, bleeding and wounded, and even rolling in the pile of dead...... She has experienced all of these like other men, and she can even stand it better than many men, and her cultivation strength is not inferior to that of men, but there are still many men who are defeated by her. In addition to cultivation, her mental strength also makes many men sigh to themselves. And she also relied on her forging on the battlefield, and gradually became a female general who affected the honor and disgrace of the Duan family, and now half of the Duan family's forces are also supported by her. It is really not easy for a woman to change from an inconsequential child to a person who is important to the family, and the hardships experienced during this period are not something that ordinary people can bear, so she can be regarded as a legend of the female stream in the fairy road.
Such a personality is in line with Duan's style, Xiao Hanfeng may not be able to get any benefit from this female general.
As he was thinking so, the two people on the stage really had a solemn atmosphere.
When Condensation saw Xiao Hanfeng, for some reason, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked extremely angry, as if he had seen an enemy, he didn't even care about the salute before the fight, and directly pulled out his long sword and slashed over!
"It's you!"
Xiao Hanfeng didn't have much confidence in the first place, but when he saw that the other party didn't even give him time to delay, he immediately panicked. hurriedly pounced down and fell on the stage.
As soon as he made the first move, he fell down, and there was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Xiao Hanfeng stood up gloomily, patted the soil on his body, and felt deeply embarrassed by the ridicule from the audience, and his face immediately turned red. He glared at the condensation splash and shouted, "Hey, do you have any courtesy! Anyway, you have to salute first, and if you shoot your sword without others being prepared, this is a sneak attack!"
Condensation looked at him coldly, and said, "Hmph! Sneak attack? You still need me to sneak attack these two times? Let you make 300 moves, you still have to lie down and beg for mercy! It's really a narrow road, let's settle the new account and the old account together!"
Xiao Hanfeng was confused, and said blankly: "Do we know each other?
Condensation splashed but didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, swinging the sword was another sharp sword wind, forcing Xiao Hanfeng to retreat one after another, and he had no power to fight back.
Xiao Hanfeng said angrily as he retreated: "Hey, you're sick! Just find someone and say that you have a grudge, it's the first time we've met, okay?
The more he said the condensation, the angrier he became, and the more ruthless his subordinates became, and after a few turns of his wrist like a spiritual snake, the blade of the sword cut several cuts on him, and after a short time on the field, his clothes were cut into a curtain!
The laughter in the audience was even louder.
Xiao Hanfeng is a man even if he has no ability, how can he not be angry when he is humiliated like this, he immediately became angry, his eyes were swollen and red, and he shouted while rushing towards her: "You are simply too deceitful! You are also a woman, why don't you have the appearance of a woman! What a female madman! I see that you are a woman to give in many times, but you treat me as a good ......!
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked in the chest and knocked out of the ring.
Shangguan Yu suddenly looked nervous in the audience, immediately threw away the wine glass in his hand, jumped over the table, caught him accurately in the air, and fell back on the stage.
As soon as he came on the stage, he showed his face in front of everyone, and most of the people in the audience had never seen him, and they began to whisper at this moment, asking who this person was.
As soon as Xiao Hanfeng stood firm, he saw that the person next to him was Shangguan Yu, and immediately became aggrieved, and complained with resentment on his face: "Shangguan! This person is too much! If he seeks revenge from someone for no reason, he is clearly a madman! Unreasonable! I must teach her a lesson!"
When the words fell, his gaze involuntarily turned to Xiao Hanshan's side, only Xiao Hanshan's face was blue at this time, and he looked particularly terrifying. His brother has always been strong, and because he is a teenager who takes over the family, he strives to do his best in everything, just to not let others look down on him. But now that he is being humiliated by a woman in public, his brother must feel very ashamed, and he will definitely not spare him when he goes back!
Shangguan Yu naturally heard the contemptuous words from the audience, swept his eyes around the people who were snickering, and then looked at Xiao Hanfeng's expression, and his face immediately sank.
After a moment of silence, he quietly moved a few steps forward, just in front of Xiao Hanfeng's figure with his head hanging down and his shoulders, with a bit of arrogance and domineering in his tone, and said, "I'll fight for you." β
When the words fell, Xiao Hanfeng raised his head suddenly, and before he could show a surprised and happy expression, he first spoke hatefully: "You're actually there! Okay, the two of you are here, I'll look for it again!" He came up on behalf of the Xiao family, are you qualified to fight for him?"
This is also what the people in the audience want to ask, and they are all staring at him at the moment, waiting for his answer.
Shangguan Yu chuckled, clasped his arms with both hands, and said loudly in front of everyone: "I am Shangguan Yu, the young master of the Yanlan Shangguan clan, I don't know if I am qualified to fight for him?"
A burst of surprise instantly sounded from the audience. For a while, the discussion couldn't be suppressed, and everyone turned their heads to each other, secretly saying that this was the mysterious Shangguan young master. Didn't he never show up? Did he really come this time? They thought he probably wouldn't come this time, and it was a little unreal to suddenly see the deity. I didn't expect that there were many rumored versions of Shangguan Gongzi, who couldn't be more, turned out to be like this, and none of the versions were welt. He's so much better than those rumors!
At the same time, countless eyes shot at Shangguan Ye on the head of the family like knives, and there were surprise, suspicion, envy, and jealousy in those eyes.
And Shangguan Ye looked at Shangguan Yu on the stage and frowned slightly, but there was no other reaction, he was still calm, as if he didn't see everyone's prying eyes, maintaining the usual dignity of the head of the family.
Condensation splash was also taken aback: "It turns out that you are from the Yanlan Shangguan family!"
Shangguan Yu looked absent-minded, and said lazily: "The surprise is over, can you fight?"
Seeing his contemptuous expression, Condensation only felt that he looked down on himself, and immediately accepted his surprise, and changed to a face of revenge.
"Of course you can, I didn't pay attention to this waste in the first place, I can fight with you, I can't ask for it. β
Shangguan Yu glanced at Xiao Hanfeng and asked him to go down. Xiao Hanfeng was naturally relieved of Shangguan Yu's skills, but he couldn't help but remind him to be careful, and glanced at the condensation viciously, and then retreated to Xiao Hanshan's side with his head bowed.
Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of invitation to her, smiling provocatively and proudly.
Seeing that he despised him so much, and she was angry before, she was even more angry at this moment, and rushed over with a gust of sword wind!
