Chapter Twenty-Seven: No. 1 on the Rankings

With Li Hao also defeated, only the mysterious man was left in the top ten, and no one dared to question Qingdai's strength.

"Next, Zuo Ming!"

Qing Dai didn't know much about this person, but she remembered that this man was the one she had seen at the highest place in the Yellow Sand Dense Land, and at that time, she just glanced at it in a hurry because she was in a hurry to cultivate the Body Forging Method.

"Little junior sister is really powerful, I don't know how many tricks I can force you to use?"

"Senior brother is too arrogant, you should be about to enter the late stage of the seventh order!"

"It seems that the little junior sister's cultivation is still above me, I can't hide it! I am indeed about to enter the late stage of the seventh order, and the vitality has three attributes, the little junior sister should pay attention!"

Zuo Ming's weapon is very special, it is a scythe, the blade is large, but the handle is small!

"Uhhh

"So fast!"

Qing Dai's eyes narrowed, and she directly spread her wings and quickly retreated, and a long sword appeared in her hand!

"Little junior sister doesn't need to attack with the vitality she is good at, be careful of losses!"

That Zuo Ming kept working on his hands, but he still reminded Qing Dai. His scythe has been cultivated for eleven years, and it can be said that this is a part of his body, and the familiarity is like drinking water!

"Senior brother, don't underestimate my swordsmanship!"

Qing Dai hooked her lips and smiled, what she was best at was not pure vitality control, but swordsmanship! She didn't use it against Han Qifeng before, it was because she wanted to increase her speed, so she kept passively receiving Han Qifeng's attacks!

Both of them use weapons, and you come and go in the field, but Zuo Ming's sickle is too big, and the long sword in Qing Dai's hand is completely disproportionate to it!

"When—"

Only the sound of weapons colliding on the field remained, and as time passed, the two still did not distinguish the winner, which made the audience very nervous.

"Senior brother, I still have practice in the afternoon, so let's stop here this time!"

Qing Dai stepped back and stopped, the long sword in her hand raised, standing in the center of her chest, and then she closed her eyes.

The long sword suddenly vibrate, and the invisible sword qi began to wreak havoc around Qing Dai.

"Sword Qi!"

Han Qifeng in the audience jumped up from his seat in shock, he had been practicing swordsmanship for ten years, but he still couldn't condense a sword qi.

Now the tornado-like air flow around Qing Dai is actually condensed with sword qi!

Zuo Ming on the opposite side also showed a bitter smile, originally thinking that if it was a duel with weapons, he would have at least five points to win.

Now it seems that he is too naïve, this little junior sister has not shown her full strength since the competition!

"I lost!"

Zuo Ming saw Qing Dai looking at him, and he also knew that she was waiting for her to speak, because sword qi is not vitality, once you get rid of it, it will be difficult to control, and if you are not careful, he will also be seriously injured!

Qing Dai heard him speak, and also dispersed the sword qi around herself, she was able to cultivate the sword qi earlier than others because of the ancient method left by her mother, as long as she entered the second layer, she could begin to condense the sword qi.

Now that her ancient method is already at the peak of the third layer, it only takes some time to enter the fourth layer!

"Okay, the first place in the inner courtyard has come out, and it is Mu Qingdai! In a month and a half, the top eleven students will follow the second elder to the Heavenly Emperor's Courtyard and represent the Holy King's Court in the competition of the Four Great Courtyards!"

"In this month and a half, there will be two secret lands opened, and you will all have the opportunity to go to the third floor of the Technique Pavilion to choose techniques. The top five can choose two, and early tomorrow morning, you will gather at the stone pavilion in front of the Technique Pavilion and wait for the four elders to lead you into the Technique Pavilion!"

"Of course, there are also students who have performed well in this competition can go to the second floor of the Technique Pavilion to select a technique!"

"Then there is the second to fifth ranking competition, in order to set up a ranking list, it is necessary to select the students who are ranked in the top 100!"

......

The rest of the competition didn't have anything to do with Qing Dai, she also left the square with Duan Xiu, and returned to the back of the courtyard Duan Xiu went back to the room without saying a word.

Qing Dai was puzzled, the demon who was obviously in a bad mood didn't say a word to her on the way back, how strange was it?

Qing Dai returned to the courtyard and was rarely idle, she didn't know what to do for a while, and wanted to cultivate, but the demon had reminded her early on that she couldn't rush for quick success.

"It's so boring, I don't know how Qinglan is now?"

Qing Dai sat on the stone steps in front of the courtyard and looked up at the sky, it had been two months since she left Qing Dai, if she knew that she would be taken away, she would definitely take her out with her!

"Are you idle?"

Just when Qing Dai was in a daze, the door of the room on the left suddenly opened, revealing Duan Xiu, who had a black face, and asked indifferently.

"I can't practice now, and there is no new formation to learn the formation, all kinds of techniques have just been leveled, and I am not too eager to improve, and I don't know what to do for a while!"

"I'm hungry!"

Duan Xiu Leng dropped such a sentence on his face, and closed the door with a "bang", looking like he didn't want to pay attention to Qing Dai.

"What's wrong with this dead demon......? I've taken the wrong medicine!"

Qing Dai couldn't figure out why Duan Xiu was suddenly abnormal, but it was okay anyway, so she spread her wings and flew out of the courtyard.

After she left, Duan Xiu came out of the room with a black face.

"What a stupid and stupid girl!"

Duan Xiu lowered her head and sighed, she could smile so sincerely at others, and she always had a cold face towards him.

"It's self-inflicted!"

Who made him make a very bad first impression on her?

Duan Xiu suddenly remembered something, and took out a hairpin from his arms, the hairpin was very simple, it was carved out of wood, and a light purple jade stone was inlaid at the end.

This is when Qing Dai was training, he asked to be handed over to him for safekeeping, and when he came back, he was busy competing and breaking through, and both of them forgot.

"It's really old, it should be restored after repairing, and it should be a gift for her to get the first place!"

Duan Xiu turned around and went back to the room, Qing Dai came back and the two had dinner, and he hurried back to the room again.

Qing Dai saw that he ignored her, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable in her heart, even if she scolded him and beat him before, he would pretend to be wronged. Now that he didn't even look at her, Qingdai suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved in her heart.

To be honest, although she has always hated him and threatened her, the two months of getting along with each other have also changed her initial resentment.

Qing Dai was in a daze in the courtyard, thinking of Duan Xiu's various guidance to her during this period of time, she didn't hold a grudge against him for a long time, but she just didn't want to call him master, and even she didn't know why......

At night, Qing Dai sat on the roof of the house and looked at the stars, and there was a lively sound in the distance, which was the students who had achieved good rankings celebrating with their friends.

"It's so pitiful, what if you take the first place, and no one around you is happy for you......"

Qingdai hugged her knees and said to herself, she has always been strong, because Qinglan is simple and a younger sister, she wants to be a good example.

At all times, she demanded that she not show her exhaustion.

Now Qinglan was taken away and seriously injured, and no one around him could speak, even if he won the first place, no one who won the hundredth place was happy.

Qing Dai rested her head on her knees, revealing her vulnerable side for the first time, and in the breeze, she didn't notice that there was still a person sitting behind her.

Duan Xiu didn't speak, so he sat with her until midnight, Qingdai cried for a long time, and finally quieted down.

Duan Xiu got up and came to her side and pulled the sleeping Qing Dai into his arms, and Qing Dai opened her eyes in a daze.

"Sleep, I'm here!"

"Demon ......"

"Well, this is a gift for you to get the first place, although it was late for an afternoon, but fortunately it was done before the time of the pass!"

Qing Dai saw that the hairpin woke up a lot from sleep, picked up the hairpin and looked at it again, she was sure that the jade was the jade on her hairpin before.

However, now the carved pattern on the wooden hairpin has become very clear, and there is an extra finger-long tassel at the end, and there are three more plum blossoms on the tassel.

"You, have you been working on this all afternoon?"

"Well, although it is not very pretty, you will always carry it with you in the future!"

Duan Xiu picked up the hairpin from her hand, raised his hand and inserted it into the hair strands above the back of her head, the breeze blew the long hair of Qingdai, time seemed to stop at this moment, beautiful people couldn't bear to destroy.

"Sleep!"

Duan Xiu hugged her into his arms again, let her lean on his chest, supported her thin waist with one hand, and stroked her long hair back and forth with the other!

Qing Dai's eyes were moist, and she quietly leaned on Duan Xiu's chest, and there was someone with her when she was most vulnerable!

Qing Dai fell asleep unconsciously, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, Duan Xiu picked her up, jumped off the roof gently, and put her back into the room.

Put it on the bed and untie her coat and cover it with a quilt, Duan Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

Until it was almost dawn, knowing that her daily fixed time to get up was coming, he reluctantly got up.

Duan Xiu bent down and gave her a deep kiss on the forehead before leaving satisfied.

Soon, when the first white light appeared on the horizon, Qing Dai woke up habitually and saw that she was lying on her bed with a puzzled expression.

Then he thought of something and looked nervously at the clothes on his body, and saw that he had just taken off his coat, and Qing Dai breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she thought of something again, reached out and touched her head, took off the hairpin that Duan Xiu had put on her, and put it in the palm of her hand to look at it.

"Gift ...... for the first place"

Qing Dai remembered what Duan Xiu said last night, and put the hairpin back on, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Duan Xiu was at the door of his room, looking at the door of Qing Dai's room with a slit, and when he saw her going out with a smile on her face, he turned around and went to sleep with a smile.
