Chapter 55: Abuse of opponents
The emperor was afraid that the relationship between the families was too close, but the family liked to use marriage to stabilize their position.
The family was also afraid of the emperor's jealousy, because the royal power had always been protected by the temple.
There is a record in the "Mainland Chronicles": More than 200 years ago, several families united to try to overthrow the royal rule of the Tianhong Empire, and in the end, the temple just sent a person to destroy all the people who rebelled against several families.
From then on, the image of the temple in the hearts of everyone in the Red Spirit Continent will become more and more powerful and mysterious.
Ming Jiancheng didn't interfere much with who his son befriended, as a father who knew his son very well, he naturally believed in Ming Yu.
Looking at his son's close attitude towards Si Jiuyi, as well as the natural relationship between the two, he knew that the two must have known each other for a long time.
And in his opinion, although Si Jiuyi was disguised by Qinglong's strength and seemed to have a very low cultivation, the noble temperament and natural powerful aura exuded in his bones could not be concealed.
When the people present heard the name Si Jiuyi, they had a preconceived idea that he was a waste material, but Ming Jiancheng squinted the peach blossom eyes that were the same as his son, and smiled. Without further ado, I watched the game quietly.
The time of the challenge passed quickly, and there were already people who entered the finals one after another. And when it was approaching evening, someone was on Si Jiuyi's ring again.
"You are Si Jiuyi?" The person who came was a teenager, the young man was not tall, and he was quite good-looking, but the arrogance in his eyes reminded Si Jiuyi of another bear child who was not very likable.
The young man looked Si Jiuyi up and down with his chin up, and the unceremonious gaze made Si Jiuyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, resisted the urge to slap the person away, and then pursed his lips and tried to squeeze out a very fake smile, and stretched out a finger towards the young man and hooked it.
"Heh~ Dare to provoke, don't cry your nose when you will be hurt by your brother!"
"That's a lot of nonsense!"
Si Jiuyi was impatient with the young man's grinding and chirping, so he directly lifted the hem of his clothes and rushed towards the young man like lightning.
The speed was so fast that even the recorder closest to her on the stage didn't see clearly how Si Jiuyi got out.
Are the days of being abused by the golden-eyed leopard in vain?
"Ah~" When the young man's screams came, Si Jiuyi had already returned to the position where he was originally standing.
"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and Si Jiuyi, who kicked people out of the ring, calmly patted the non-existent dust on the hem of his clothes, and slowly sat down on the ground amid an uproar from the audience.
And after the boy rolled on the ground three times, he was lying on the ground with a dull expression, and his face was full of shock.
They all forgot to get up.
"Damn! What's going on? Another trick? ”
"It's already the second opponent stronger than her, is Si Jiuyi really just the strength of the primary stage of the Qi refining period?"
Amidst everyone's speculation, several men dressed as servants of the Shangguan family hurriedly ran over and carried away the young man who was lying on the ground in a trance. Looking in the direction where the young man was carried away, Si Jiuyi actually saw Shangguan Ling's girl. I saw that the young man whispered a few words in Shangguan Ling's ear, and Shangguan Ling nodded and glared angrily at Si Jiuyi before walking towards the other rings.
Si Jiuyi: "??? "I was confused. How did she offend this bear child?
It's inexplicable.
The first day of competition was not intense and there was nothing to watch. The strong defend it, and the weak dare not challenge; The weak defend the strong, and it is easy to eliminate them; As for the weak and the weak...... It's even less fun to fight.
When night falls, it also heralds the end of today's challenge.
Si Jiuyi and Ming Yu undoubtedly entered the finals.
There is no doubt that Mingyu made it to the final, he just sat in the ring for an afternoon and the match was over. No way, who let his past reputation as a genius and strong cultivation make the contestants unwilling to challenge him?
They thought they couldn't beat it anyway, so what about giving him a spot? Anyway, you may not be able to meet him in the final.
Si Jiuyi's strength has not been seen through by everyone, and it is very wise not to act rashly, after all, Si Jiuyi has relied on the cultivation of the primary level of the Qi refining period to make two moves in a row to two players with a higher level than her, who knows if she has any big moves?
Is she really just a primary cultivator in the Qi refining stage? Could it be that the strength is hidden? The crowd speculated.
A total of 20 people will be awarded in the ring, and these 20 will advance to tomorrow's finals.
What made Si Jiuyi a little surprised was that Shangguan Ling also entered the finals.
Shangguan Ling stood on the stage with a smile on his eyebrows, looking very proud. Even if you know that Si Jiuyi is very powerful, so what? I also made it to the finals.
Today's second young man who challenged Si Jiuyi was sent by Shangguan Ling, and he originally wanted to test her strength, but it turned out that he was the one he couldn't beat. So Shangguan Ling obediently chose a defender in the tenth ring who had won four games in a row, and that person was already exhausted, so Shangguan Ling defeated him easily.
At this time, it was already evening, and seeing that the time for the game was approaching, there were still some players in the audience who were not very strong and did not come to the stage.
No matter how strong a woman is, there will always be some men who have contempt for them.
So their retribution came.
Shangguan Ling, as the most favored and only concubine of the Shangguan family, naturally has no shortage of spiritual weapons, pills, and various defensive treasures in her hands.
Therefore, with these babies, it was easy to win four more victories.
The host had just announced the time of the next day's competition, and the sunset had just hidden the last bit of figure into the horizon, and it was completely dark.
The audience left one after another, and the only ones who did not leave were the 20 finalists and their families on stage.
These players were very happy, they hugged their families, and their families kept handing them water, feeding them elixirs, and sending spiritual power to relieve fatigue.
The sound of giggling and laughing sounded in Si Jiuyi's ears, busy, but it made people feel warm.
Si Jiuyi just stood quietly in the busy crowd around him, expressionless and out of place.
Even when Si Yongjun came to the imperial capital this time, his father sent a small servant to follow him, but Si Jiuyi was empty.
It was as if a vacuum had formed around her, excluding all those feelings, leaving only a myriad of feelings of loneliness surrounding her, squeezing her body, robbing her breath and making her nose slightly sore.
She was surprised, and she didn't even know why there was such a gratuitous feeling.
She has never experienced family affection, so she can't experience the joy of the people around her. But she clearly felt the desire for family, friendship and even love in her heart.
With a new identity this time, shouldn't she open up and experience these feelings? Even if these human feelings can only accompany her for about a hundred years.
Just as she was thinking wildly, suddenly a warm and powerful hand was directly on her head. vigorously rubbed the soft hair on the top of her head, and then Si Qi's elegant and handsome smiling face appeared in front of Si Jiuyi.
"Congratulations, sister, you're in the finals."
A warm feeling came from the top of his head, dispelling the sourness in Si Jiuyi's throat, and his heart moved slightly. Faced with Si Qi's sincere concern, just like what she had just thought, she decided to try to accept it.
"Thank you, big brother." Si Jiuyi's expressionless face gradually bloomed with a smile, she smiled very happily, happy from the bottom of her heart.
From today, she also has an older brother!
Si Qi escorted Si Jiuyi out of the crowded entrance of the square, and then said to Si Jiuyi seriously: "You are now completely torn apart with the head of the family, come to the eldest brother if there is anything in the future, and the eldest brother will protect you." ”
Si Jiuyi thought for a moment and then shook her head and refused, she finally had a brother, how could she let her brother protect her?
She must be the one who protects her brother!
"No need big brother, I have Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing will protect me." Si Jiuyi pointed to the sleeping Zhengxiang's little green snake wrapped around his arm.
Si Qi: It turns out that in my sister's eyes, am I not as good as a snake?
Although he was quite hit, Si Qi still patted Si Jiuyi's thin little shoulder, and said seriously: "No matter what, pay attention to safety, be careful recently." ”
My sister may not know much about the difference between Warcraft and Spirit Pet, but it doesn't matter, I can protect her secretly.
“…… Thank you, big brother. ”
"Good!" Hearing Si Jiuyi call him eldest brother several times in a row, Si Qi happily touched Si Jiuyi's fluffy little head again, and took Si Jiuyi home with satisfaction.
I was thinking about it all the way - my sister and my brother are really different, their voices are soft, their hair is soft, and they are fragrant, compared to Si Ge's younger brother, they are simply too cute!
Si Ge, who has been favored by his eldest brother since he was a child, has plummeted in his image in Si Qi's heart.
The night's rest was over quickly, and although some people were happy and some were sad, the next day's game still came as scheduled.
The second day's final will be held in the form of a draw, in the order in which yesterday's matches were successful.
Since yesterday Si Jiuyi and Ming Yu were promoted until the end of the game, Si Jiuyi was the penultimate draw, and the penultimate was Mingyu.
Si Jiuyi didn't know whether it was good or bad luck and won the No. 1 lottery and was the first to appear.
This time, the host didn't do anything, because Si Yao'er had been eliminated, so he didn't have to take the risk to help her cheat. As for Si Jiuyi, he said that whoever he draws with love has nothing to do with him.
"Si Jiuyi actually entered the finals, I really didn't expect it."
"Si Jiuyi is the lowest cultivation in the finalists, right? Putting her in the finals is equivalent to one more place for everyone, isn't it? ”
"I heard that there were only two people who challenged Si Jiuyi yesterday, and in the end, because she was still in the ring when the time was up, she was allowed to advance."
"No wonder."
……
As soon as Si Jiuyi came to power, there were all kinds of unfavorable voices from the audience, and Si Jiuyi ignored them all.
She has shown her strength so obviously, why are these people unwilling to believe the reality they see with their eyes? Does self-deception make them feel more powerful?
Her first opponent today is a very famous martial arts boy of the Ming family: Ming Song.
The seventeen-year-old foundation building period has the same strength as Si Jiuyi.
The difference is that Si Jiuyi is only fourteen years old, and he has only been cultivating for less than two months.
As soon as Ming Song came to the stage, there were all kinds of applause from the audience.
"Ming Song! Ming Song! ”
"Come on, Mingsong!"
There are also a few sparse voices supporting Si Jiuyi, such as Mingyu, Si Qi, and Weihe Weiyu...... However, it was quickly drowned out in the crowd.
