In the car back, the two sat side by side in the back seat, continuing the unfinished topic in the restaurant before, Xin Lin didn't ask what had just happened, as if he hadn't seen it at all.

It wasn't until he returned to the hotel room that Lian Chengbi finally couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem to be surprised at all?" ”

Xin Lin smiled and said, "Actually, I was surprised, and I took a photo, do I want to send you one?" It's beautiful. ”

"No, you can keep it." Lian Chengbi showed a little satisfaction on his face, reached out and gently wiped his index finger on his lips, as if reminiscing about the kiss, and said, "That girl told you Sufei, right?" ”

Xin Lonely coughed dryly but did not speak, taking it as a tacit acquiescence.

"This girl is not yet an adult, so she turned her elbow out, and even betrayed her aunt, she used to hurt her in vain, see how I clean her up next time I go back to Earth!" Lian Chengbi scolded as if it was true or false, but there was a smile in the corner of her eyes, which showed that she didn't really blame Lian Sufei for this, she was just talking.

"Sophie is also kind-hearted, afraid that I will offend you, so I specially reminded me." Xin Lin hurriedly explained to his students.

"What does she know as a child, I'm afraid that I will offend you and be counted down by the old man." Lian Chengbi glanced at Xin Lonely, seeing his smiling look, he didn't get angry, he simply sat down on the sofa in the living room, leaned back with his legs folded, and said: "We have known each other for almost a month, and we have lived together for half a month, I found that you are a relatively decent person, you don't have many dirty ideas, you are better than most men, at least you won't make me hateful, you can treat you as a normal friend." ”

"Haha......" Xin Lin also sat down, and was happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Then don't I feel honored?" ”

"No, in fact, I should feel honored, I don't know how many people want to make friends with you in the future and don't have a chance, I'm just lucky to know you before you become famous. But you are indeed my first male friend in years. When Lian Chengbi said this, he suddenly sighed lightly, his eyes seemed to be recalling the past, and his mood suddenly fell.

Xin Lin had never seen this kind of scene, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

In fact, according to his understanding of Lianchengbi, she is a strong and independent woman, very good at regulating her own emotions, and does not need anyone's comfort.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Lian Chengbi recovered and said calmly: "You are not interested in hearing why I have become such a character?" ”

"If you want to speak, I can be a listener." Xin Lin nodded lightly and made a gesture of please.

"I used to have an extremely good classmate, whom I have known since I was a child, and they were in the same class and table from elementary school to high school, like sisters, and they were together every day. When we were in high school, we met a boy who sat at the back table and joked around with us, and we gradually became acquainted. Later, this boy pursued me, I had no feelings for him, and refused from the beginning, but he didn't give up, and pestered me for more than a semester, so we could only alienate him, ask the teacher to change seats, and gradually there was not much contact. ”

Lian Chengbi spoke slowly, her tone was very calm, but Xin Lin noticed that her hands were clenched tightly, knowing that she was not calm at this time.

"I didn't expect this scumbag to be unwilling, and one day he was ambushed on our way home and wanted to take revenge on me." Lian Chengbi paused, his face full of remorse, and continued: "That day, I happened to have something to go to the city, so I didn't go together, so I let my good sister go home alone, but that scumbag saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to ** her, and tortured her for more than an hour afterwards, almost seriously injured to death. Later in the interrogation, I learned that in fact, his target was me, but I was not there, and she became a replacement. ”

"Although that scumbag was sentenced to 30 years in prison and was forced to be chemically castrated, my good sister was left with serious psychological trauma, and her body was better, but she did not recover psychologically, and she committed suicide half a year later."

After Lian Chengbi finished speaking, her eyes looked at Xin Lin fixedly, her chest rose and fell slightly, and she said softly: "Can you understand me now?" ”

"Understandable." Xin Lin nodded and asked, "I'm afraid that girl is more than just your good friend, right?" ”

Lian Chengbi was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and admired: "You guessed well, she is actually my first girlfriend, but it was still relatively hazy at the time, and I didn't make it clear, I only woke up after the incident." ”

Xin Lin looked clear, thinking that incident not only caused harm to Lian Chengbi's friends, but also left a psychological shadow on Lian Chengbi herself. It's natural for her to like women, and it's all acquired to hate men.

"It's rare to be able to confide in someone, especially to a man like you, which makes me feel much more relaxed." Lian Chengbi gradually detached herself from the painful memories of the past, regained her composure, and said: "In fact, after so many years, I have also talked about a few girlfriends during this period, and I have experienced a lot, which makes me look down on my feelings, and I am almost relieved, but I am ......."

Xin Lin suddenly thought of the reason and asked, "The thirty-year sentence is coming, right?" ”

"I can't hide anything from you." Lian Chengbi admitted: "That scum will be released from prison next year, and I am unwilling." It's so unfair that my friend died thirty years ago, and that he is alive in this world, at least for another hundred years. ”

"Legally, he's already paid for it." Xin Lin shook his head, "Unless you want to break the law, you can't do anything about him." ”

Lian Cheng's face was as frosty as ice, and he sneered: "You don't have to break the law, I can also rectify him." ”

Xin was speechless, knowing that Lian Chengbi would not give up easily, maybe he had prepared a lot of means, just waiting for the man to come out of prison.

He could only say, "Be careful." ”

"I know. Thank you for listening to me so much and making me feel so much better. Lian Chengbi looked at the time, got up and said, "It's time to cultivate, do you want to come together?" ”

"Okay." Xin Lin nodded in agreement.

Lian Chengbi was busy during the day, and usually put the cultivation time at night and went to the practice room to use the induction cabin. Xin Lin can actually cultivate without the induction cabin, but he can't say it, and he has to compete during the day, so he can only meditate in the induction cabin for a few hours every night with Lian Chengbi, pretending.

After the induction cabin meditation is over, the two will continue to communicate in martial arts, often chatting until late at night, and even staying up until dawn.

After this conversation, the relationship between Xin Lin and Lian Chengbi was a little closer, not as unfamiliar and polite as before, they got along like real friends, and many words could be said casually.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Star Cup Martial Arts Tournament has entered the knockout stage.

The knockout round is still determined by random drawing, and the winner will advance to the next round. There are 128 players in each group, and four rounds of duel are played until there are eight players left to enter the final round. As with the tryouts, players do not need to be present to participate in the knockout round, but can log in to the virtual world from the induction cabin.

On the first day of the knockout round, Xin Lin drew a good opponent.

The other party is an intermediate-level samurai, who has practiced a boxing technique to the realm of thoroughness, and his overall strength is slightly worse than Qiao Jing who he met before, but he was not restrained like Qiao Jing, Xin Lin wrestled with him for a few minutes, and still only used Jingwu Changquan and Lost Trace Steps, seizing an opportunity to kick him out of the ring.

The knockout tournament was only played once a day, and on the second and third days after that, Xin Lin met no weaker opponents, but fortunately, he had telepathy, and without revealing more strength, he was still at ease, and each time he defeated the opponent after a few minutes of grappling.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Xin Lin always won not easily, each time it was more difficult than the last, and the weakness of the Force's insufficient cultivation was gradually magnified, and many times in the three games were full of dangers, and it had reached the point of poor donkey skills. Many players think that they have seen through Xin Lone's strength, thinking that he will not go far in the competition, and that the dark horse has lost his indomitable momentum.

Day 4, the last knockout round.

As long as you win this one, you can advance to the finals, and each player will receive a prize of 100,000. At this point, there are only 128 people left from the more than 30,000 participants, and no one wants to be eliminated after just one game, so today's competition is more intense than any other day in the past, and there are many duels in the ring that are quite miserable, and the number of spectators has increased a lot, which makes the organizer Jupiter Chamber of Commerce very happy.

In the afternoon, it was finally Xin Lone's turn to play.

He just appeared in the ring, and when he saw the other party, he immediately frowned, and secretly said that this opponent was not easy to fight.

The player opposite is called Zhuo Qiuping, his height and body size are the same as Xin Lone, more than 1.85 meters, his height and arms are long, his breath is calm, and his face is slightly old, but he is only thirty-eight years old, but he is a high-level samurai!

This Zhuo Qiuping cultivates the Frozen Force, the specific exercises are unknown, and at least forty-five Force nodes have been condensed, and he is one of the players with the highest Force cultivation in this martial arts competition. However, Zhuo Qiuping is a typical practitioner who can't fight, although his Force cultivation is high, his martial arts strength is relatively average, only one has been practiced to the realm of thoroughness, and it is also one of the most common basic martial arts in the Federation, and other martial arts are not on the table.

Zhuo Qiuping, with such mediocre martial arts strength, was able to play to the last game of the knockout round, relying on the superior Force cultivation.

He only has one fighting strategy in the ring, that is, relying on the strong force of the Force to fight hard, his speed is faster than others, his strength is greater than others, and his defense is stronger than others.

So far, Zhuo Qiuping has only lost one time in the trials. He was unlucky at the time, and he drew another high-level samurai who maintained a complete victory, and in front of a high-level samurai of the same cultivation, he lost very neatly.

However, when Zhuo Qiuping encounters opponents whose Force cultivation is not as good as his, he usually wins like a crusher.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xin Lin is a player who can fight and can't practice, and Zhuo Qiuping, who can practice and can't fight, is simply two extremes, but now they have met together and drawn to a ring, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Haha, there's a good show to watch now." Many players and spectators are gloating, they all want to know whether they can fight badly or practice badly?
