At this time, the woman in purple suddenly jumped forward, swinging the big knife in her hand and slashing down, moving extremely fast. The surrounding audience all exclaimed "Hmm"!

Seeing that the blade was approaching, Ban Lingruo's body was slightly wrong, and the long sword held behind her back had been unsheathed at some point, stabbing directly at the throat of the woman in purple. The movement did not drag the mud and water at all, and the castration of the long sword was faster than that of the woman in purple. The woman in purple hurriedly returned the knife to block, and Ban Ling didn't wait for the opponent's knife to return, with a twist of her wrist, the long sword bypassed the blade, still pointing at the opponent's throat.

At this time, the woman in purple fell to the ground, and the tip of Ban Lingruo's sword also stopped only a few inches from her throat.

One move, one move! Win or lose.

The audience erupted in applause and shouts, which were louder than just now. The woman in purple threw the knife and admitted defeat, with a look of surprise.

At this time, Sima Hongyan, who was stunned, realized that this cheer and applause had been for Ban Lingruo from the beginning.

The referee declared the winner and gave Ban Lingruo a winning card. The two women saluted each other and returned to their seats, and when Ban Lingruo sat down, she even nodded to Sima Hongyan.

Sima Hongyan was so shocked that she forgot to return the gift, and only thought of one sentence in her mind: "I'd better give up the game!" ”

Seeing Sima Hongyan ignoring herself, she sat there in a daze. Ban Lingruo walked over, sat down next to Sima Hongyan, stretched out her hand to gently push her, and called softly: "Miss Sima? Miss Sima? ”

Sima Hongyan came back to her senses at this time, looked at Ban Lingruo who was sitting next to her with a blank face, hehe smirked to cover up the gaffe just now, and said, "The class girl is so amazing!" I really can't see that you are so gentle, you are actually a martial arts master, admire, admire! ”

Ban Lingruo smiled slightly and said modestly: "It turns out that you still remember me!" Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little bit of work since elementary school. ”

Ban Lingruo even spoke with such a gentle voice and a delicate demeanor, if she hadn't seen it just now, she would have thought she was a docile lady.

Sima Hongyan was very interested in her. Then he said: "Class girl, how long have you been learning martial arts?" Judging by what you did just now, the learning time must not be short, right? ”

Ban Lingruo thought for a while and said, "It's not a long time, I started practicing martial arts at the age of six, about twelve years." ”

"Twelve years?" Sima Hongyan exclaimed: "This is not very long? I don't even have twelve months. ”

Ban Lingruo smiled and said softly: "The knowledge of martial arts is too deep, and many people have not understood it thoroughly. What have I had in these twelve years? But Miss Sima, you said that you haven't practiced martial arts for even twelve months, how can you come to participate in the martial arts competition? You must be humble! ”

Sima Hongyan smiled bitterly: "I really wish I was modest, but I am really not modest. Twelve months or I said more. Originally, I wanted to come to mix up the rankings, but when I saw your skills, I knew that I thought too much! ”

Ban Lingruo smiled and said, "Not necessarily! Some people are extremely talented, and one day of learning is better than ten days for others. My qualifications are mediocre, which means that I have more days of studying. Seeing that Miss Sima has an extraordinary bearing, she must be smarter than me. ”

While the two were talking, a deacon came over and asked Sima Hongyan, "Are you also here to compete in martial arts, this girl?" Come and take a name, and I'll arrange for you to come on stage. ”

Sima Hongyan hurriedly said: "No! No! I'm here to see the excitement, I don't know how to fight. ”

The deacon and Ban Lingruo both looked at her strangely, and the deacon said, "This is a place for the people who participate in the competition, how can you sit here if you don't participate?" Watch the excitement and go offstage. ”

Sima Hongyan was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I'll leave now!" He stood up. was about to say goodbye to Ban Lingruo, but Ban Lingruo also stood up and said, "My game today is over, I'll go out with you." ”

Sima Hongyan knew that Ban Lingruo's father, Ban Jingchong, was a deputy commander and served under Liao Ziling. This person heard Liao Ziling mention that Ban Ling Ruo was her only daughter. The deputy commander of the squad is also a confidant who has followed Liao Ziling for many years, he is brave and resolute, and he is a rare fierce general in the army. I didn't expect such a flamboyant class deputy to give birth to a daughter who was such a gentle and graceful girl, which was really different from his father's personality.

While the two were talking, they walked out of the arena together. Sima Hongyan asked as she walked, "Who did you learn this kung fu from, girl?" What your dad taught you? ”

Ban Lingruo shook his head and said, "No! Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a coincidence of mine. My father went around with the army back then, and my mother and my father had a deep relationship, and they didn't want to be separated from my father, so they stayed in the army and ran around with my father. My mother was pregnant with me that year, and my father was facing off against Dongning at the border, so I was born in a tent with the army.

Later, my father insisted on sending my mother and me back to the capital, but my mother refused to live or die. It just so happened that there was a woman in the army who was sending herbs to the army, and when she heard about it, she went to see my father and said that he was willing to take me as an apprentice and take me back to the valley to raise me. You know that soldiers are informal, and my mother and my father can't be separated, so you agreed to the woman.

After that, I was taken to the Valley of the Fragrance, and when I was six years old, the heroine, who was my master, began to teach me martial arts. After 12 years, when I was 18 years old, I was told that I could go down the mountain and go home, so I only returned to my father and mother in the capital last year. Ban Lingruo's voice was not hurried, and he spoke eloquently, and slowly explained his life experience.

Sima Hongyan listened carefully, waited for her to finish, and asked, "You have only been in the capital for a year?" After so many years of separation from your parents, do you have a good relationship with them? ”

Ban Lingruo smiled slightly and said: "My father and my mother also returned to the capital last year, they have been stationed at the border of Dongning, they often go to see me, and they are also very concerned about me!" Although I have grown up with Master for so many years, I still have a good relationship with my parents. ”

"That's good!" Sima Hongyan said: "After all, I didn't grow up with my parents, I thought you would be more estranged from them." ”

"Of course not! After all, my father and mother are just such a daughter as me. Ban Lingruo smiled again and said, "I don't know why I fell in love with you, I told you so much about me when I met you for the first time, don't be surprised." ”

Sima Hongyan also smiled: "It's not the first time I've seen you, I saw you at the Double Ninth Banquet last year, especially your hands are the same book, wow!" I was very impressed. ”

Ban Lingruo was slightly embarrassed and said, "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and you give me a good impression!" ”

"Alas!" Sima Hongyan sighed and said, "Maybe the two of us have a common reason for falling in love. ”

"What?" Ban Lingruo asked.

"Loneliness! Lack of friends! Sima Hongyan said a little gloomily.

After hearing this, Ban Lingruo nodded silently.

Sima Hongyan suddenly smiled cheerfully again: "But today I am very happy to have you as a friend." As he spoke, he put his arm around Ban Lingruo's shoulder.

Ban Lingruo lowered her head and smiled: "Me too!" ”

The two talked about it, and the more they got along, the more they felt that they hated to see each other, so when it was almost noon, the two went out of the school martial arts field together to eat. Because it was rare to give Qinghan free time for their activities, Sima Hongyan didn't go to them.

There are many restaurants in the capital, although there are a lot of people in the capital this time, but the place to eat is still easy to find. The two chatted and searched, and after a while, they found a restaurant with fewer people, and the two went to the second floor to find a place near the window and sat down.

Sima Hongyan was about to ask Ban Ling what she wanted to eat, but she saw Yan Hong, the ninth prince of the Ninth Emperor, walking up, and looking around upstairs. Sima Hongyan hurriedly beckoned, and the Nine Emperor Princes ran over with a smile.

As soon as he saw the Nine Emperors arrive, Ban Lingruo had to salute. Sima Hongyan took her hand and said, "This is a public place, how can there be so much attention?" ”

Yan Hong came over and sat down, and also said, "Yes! You're welcome, girl! ”

Ban Ling said no more, so he smiled and sat down.

Sima Hongyan patted Ban Lingruo and said to Yan Hong: "Introduce you to my new friend, Ban Lingruo!" ”

"I know! The daughter of the deputy commander of the class. Yan Hong nodded to Ban Lingruo and said.

"Acquaintance? Then it goes without introduction. By the way, how did you get here? Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hong.
