Chapter 186: The Last Lesson
"You can't stop me!" Yelan's family practiced martial arts, Keqing didn't come, only Shi Lan was left depressed and Yelan to discuss what happened a few days ago.
Shi Lan was lying on the table, weak.
"I don't know why, but when I said this, she got angry and slashed me several times in a row... It hurts me..."
"You deserve it!" Yelan swallowed melon seeds, and only felt funny about Shi Lan making Keqing angry.
After listening to the cause and effect, Yelan had a rough idea in her heart. In the final analysis, it is because neither side has been able to understand the other's attitude.
She could conclude that Keqing definitely didn't participate in the competition to stop Shi Lan, otherwise she wouldn't have taught so hard for so many days.
Shi Lan should also understand this, but the words she said at that time made Keqing misunderstand and made her feel disappointed that all her hard work was in vain...... The fact that Shi Lan wanted her to release water in the competition was enough to make her unhappy, but in the end, she said such a sentence again, which directly overloaded and exploded the powder keg, and the anger went to the sky.
Although she guessed what was going on, Yelan couldn't say it clearly. This incident is likely to be a turning point in the relationship between the two, as for whether it is good or bad, it depends on whether Shi Lan can understand Keqing's good intentions.
"You've got to get the hang of it!" Yelan hated that iron could not be made of steel, and pointed at Shi Lan's head.
"Huh?" Shi Lan looked dazed.
"I'm sorry for you." Yelan helplessly supported her forehead, feeling aggrieved for Keqing, who doesn't like this stupid stone if she likes it, isn't it okay to be angry...... Yelan changed her posture, leaned on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and pointed at Shi Lan: "Look at you!" It's the semi-finals in the afternoon, Keqing will definitely not keep his hands, show your skills! Pouring bitter water on me won't solve the problem. β
"The problem is that I can't beat Keqing......" Shi Lan let out a long sigh weakly.
"You're going to give up? Keqing knows your attitude, and she will definitely beat you to death. β
"Shhh The wound on his face still hurts, and the kick so hung that the ribs cracked......
"That's it, Sister Lan, you can help me." Shi Lan thought of something and hurriedly ran to the venue.
"How can I help?"
"Shoot me with an arrow!" Yelan's action of swallowing melon seeds paused,
"Are you sick?"
"I'm fine." Shi Lan said seriously: "I was just thinking that Ke Qing would definitely use that trick...... As long as I take the chance... Maybe there's a chance to win......"
"........." β»β»β» Keharuya. Keqing's maid Xiaozi was standing at the door, her hands stretched out left and right, like a door god, and said solemnly: "Miss! Lie down, I will never let you out! Keqing got dressed unhurriedly and walked to Xiao Zi,
"Get out of the way."
"Don't!" The little girl bit her lower lip tightly, and there were tears in her eyes.
"That guy made you like this! He wants to win so much, you just let him win the game! β
"You don't understand." Keqing gasped slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she looked delicate and lovely, but judging from her physical condition, this was by no means a good complexion.
The little maid didn't give an inch: "Of course I understand!" I'm not stupid! Ke Qing looked at the little girl in front of her who grew up with her, touched her head, and smiled slightly: "Then you should let me go." Xiao Zi grabbed Keqing's hand and didn't let go,
"He won't understand! He's just going to think you're going to do everything you can to keep him from leaving, miss! It's not worth it! β
"Is it worth it... You can only understand when you are in it..."Keqing looked at the clear blue sky and said slowly: "Why don't I let him know when I'm sick?" Maybe he won't understand now, but if I don't go, he will never understand. Blind dedication will not lead to results! With a sense of anger, Keqing pushed away the small words and crossed the threshold: "I just want to make him feel guilty!" I'd like to see if his heart is made of stone! β
"Miss!" Keqing ignored the dissuasion and walked away with a feverish body. She will go to Yuehai Pavilion to participate in the semifinals against Shi Lan.
"If you don't win against me... How can I rest assured..."β»β»β» Yuehai Pavilion is on the periphery of Yujingtai.
In the past, there were still many high-ranking officials working here, but with the Seven Stars ascending to the Jade Pavilion, the office of Yujingtai was vacant a lot, so most of them moved in.
The Pavilion has also been turned into a venue that can be rented out to host events. Beidou boldly played a hand on Ningguang, but unexpectedly and reasonably, he got the venue rental qualification of Yuehai Pavilion.
The semi-finals and finals of the tournament will be held here. Shi Lan's saga continues, and now where he can hit has become the biggest bet in Liyue's market.
But before that, compared to Shi Lan, there were many fewer people who knew Keqing. After all, she didn't defeat the wild boar at the age of ten, and then carried the pig to walk half the city.
In the afternoon, before the game even started, it was already crowded with people who were idle and had nothing to do to watch the game.
Quite a few people who were hammering nails on the pier burst into tears.
"Hell! Don't these people have to go to work! "Due to the large number of people, Yujingtai had no choice but to send the Millelith Army to maintain order.
It is said that the Jade Pavilion also lowered a few points for this, just so that the people above could see the game clearly. Although it has not been confirmed, the rumors that can be spread are enough to show how compelling this semi-final is.
As time went on, more and more people came to watch the game. Xingqiu and Chongyun, two good friends, also occupied a good position early, ready to cheer for Shi Lan.
Xingqiu was holding back his strength: "I want to see how Yunlai's swordsmanship deals with Shi Lan!" "Grandma Ping prepared a vacant seat for Xiangling, Yun Jin, Xin Yan and other friends, so that these little girls would not be squeezed to the Scarlet Cloud Slope.
Hu Tao and Zhongli, as the gold lords, naturally put them on a high seat and stood side by side with Beidou. Hu Tao invited credit for Shi Lan: "How about Sister Beidou?" Shi Lan's performance is good, right? They all made it to the semi-finals! Beidou snorted: "Cut, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, don't forget, that kid and I agreed to enter the finals and win the championship." Reaching the semi-finals counts as a goal! Although she said so, she still recognized Shi Lan's performance in her heart.
"I can't see it, this kid has a lot of connections in Liyue." Beidou remembered that when he went to listen to the play a few days ago, Yun Jin, the granddaughter of Boss Yun, deliberately found herself and euphemistically mentioned Shi Lan's boarding of the ship...... Not to mention that this morning, Ningguang specially gave himself a ride
The order to "take Shi Lan on board". Who is the head of Big Sister Beidou? Command? Amusing! You let me bring it, but I don't!
But after Beidou thought about it, he felt that Ningguang might be agitating, after all, what she usually asked of herself, she came in reverse.
This time, the word command was deliberately used.
"Hmph, you want to provoke me? Don't let me take Shi Lan on board? I'll just take him away! Beidou felt that he had won Ningguang again, and his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.
As for what Ningguang's order meant, only she knew it...... β»β»β» Yuehai Pavilion was in a hustle and bustle, in the cheers of the crowd.
Shi Lan and Ke Qing arrived at the scene at the same time. The cheers at the scene reached a higher level, and the crowd talked about it.
"It's coming, it's coming! That's Keqing! I didn't know that she also swept all the way to the semi-finals! β
"Yes, yes! Never lost a game! β
"I found out that the players who participated in the semi-finals have won all the way and have never lost!"
"Holy! What Liyue is so smart! "At this point, there is naturally no more troublesome regulations for signing or anything.
With the host's enthusiastic chanting, Ke Qing and Shi Lan stepped into the ring.
"Let's have a ...... Keqing!! β
"Oh!!"
"And her opponent, Shi-Lan-"
"Oh!!!!" The warm sunlight fell on Keqing's body, but it made her feel piercing, and the loud cheers for her also seemed noisy at the moment.
She watched as the boy walked up to her. Simple attire, cloth boots and long shirts, uncut hair that had not been cut for a long time covered the young man's eyes, and under the sleeves that looked a little bloated, a mortal god named Stinging Dragon was attached.
I haven't seen each other for two days, why do I feel like I've been in the autumn for three days...... The host's enthusiastic introduction was left behind by her, and the audience in the audience also opened their mouths, and their voices could not reach Keqing's ears.
She automatically ignored all voices that were not about Shi Lan herself. She said surgingly: "You give it to me, go all out......" With a flick of the long sword, the sword wind raised the dust on the stage.
Shi Lan's heartbeat went from beating violently at the beginning to being as calm as water after seeing Keqing. The girl ...... Sick.
Flushed cheeks, fine sweat coming out of the hair, and a slightly swaying body, even if Keqing tried his best to cover it, Shi Lan could see it.
He also understood. Keqing knows herself, she doesn't know when, but she actually knows Keqing so well......
"I promise you." Shi Lan replied. But considering Keqing's current physical state, he plans to retract a little strength.
He took off his robe and threw it offstage, revealing his shirt and arms inside. The shoulders, arms, messy sword marks and bruises were shocking.
"Ka-ka-" A surging air flow erupted from the crack of the stinging dragon, and the machinery began to change, shifting, stretching, and popping out one by one.
As if he had life, he climbed on Shi Lan's shoulders and covered the scars on his arms, covering them perfectly, without a trace of superfluity.
As Shi Lan clenched his fists, the friction between the machines made the scalp tingle, and the surging golden light flowed in the echo lines engraved on the fuselage, like blood flowing in the pulse.
This was not the elemental power released by the Vision of God, but the light inherent in the stinging dragon. Ke Qing just looked at him silently, without too many movements or expressions.
The boys and girls looked at each other silently. But it's worth a thousand words. Keqing just smiled with relief. β»β»β»
"Master Ke, is the battle just for you and me? I punch, you block? β
"No, that's not all, there's more to the fight."
"What?" The boy asked, puzzled.
"Here." The girl tapped him on the head.
"Yes...... Is it iron-headed? β
"Heh... Do you always have fists on your mind? The boy smiled and said, "I can kick it with my feet!" β
"Tsk...... It seems that if I don't teach you, you won't understand. β
"What the hell is it?"
"In the future, you will know, but whether you can learn it or not depends on yourself." β»β»β»Keqing took a deep breath and forcibly allowed himself to concentrate.
Only to hear the referee shout, the game finally began. Without any hesitation, Shi Lan activated in an instant, and went straight to Keqing, and the stinging dragon erupted with a piercing roar, tearing the air like thunder and lightning.
In the face of Keqing, go all out, this is respect for her. But at the same time, he must also exercise restraint in his strength, which is a great test of his precise control of power.
Shi Lan was naturally not stupid enough to think that Keqing was going to come to the competition with a high fever in order to stop herself.
"I won't fail your training!" Shi Lan's gaze was extremely firm. In the face of Shi Lan's aggressiveness, Keqing clenched her teeth, controlled her sore body and retreated a few steps, and the opponent attacked one after another, she couldn't fight back, so she could only retreat.
The arm holding the sword was so sore that it was difficult to exert its strength...... She thought that it was impossible for her to win against Shi Lan in this state.
However, even if he loses, he will be impressed by the loss! After a few punches missed, he still failed to touch Keqing, and Shi Lan did not take Keqing's retreat lightly.
Defending and counterattacking, Keqing taught herself this, and she did it herself. β»β»β»
"Shi Lan! Come on! Shi Lan! Come on! The audience was chanting. Xiao Ci stood in the crowd indignantly and stamped his feet: "Why are you all cheering for that bastard!" Can't you see that the young lady is feverish and burns the lake! Abominable abominable abominable! "β»β»β» As the battle progressed, Keqing gradually entered the state.
She adjusted her breathing, trying to make her somewhat somewhat moky head clear. Ke Qing held the long sword in her hand, and Shi Lan had the protection of the stinging dragon, so she was not worried that she would hurt Shi Lan, but interrupted Shi Lan's attack one after another by attacking Shi Lan's joints and defending blind corners.
The clanging sound of collision is endless. Her lips quivered slightly.
"Did you find it, stupid ......" β»β»β»
"It's a sunny moment...... Haven't forgotten to teach him when he's sick like this......" On the second floor of the Yuehai Pavilion, Yelan leaned on the doorpost and shook her head.
"Shi Lan, Shi Lan... What do you take to repay Keqing for this love ...... you"β»β»β»
"What a great swordsmanship! didn't back down too much, but in this way to contain Shi Lan's pure power attack! "The knowledgeable Xingqiu called the groove,
"Although Shi Lan didn't use all of his fist power... But even then, it's pretty powerful..."
"I feel that Keqing doesn't mean to fight, and Shi Lan seems to be seeing it." Chongyun shook his head, and a popsicle in one hand violently suppressed yang qi, but he still felt his blood boiling,
"And she's very sick."
"What? Keqing is sick? The people around him were stunned.
"You can see it...... It's really wrong...... "Anyone who has watched Keqing's match has a deep impression of Keqing's moves.
Fast as lightning, swordsmanship, and resolute. It's as procrastinate as it is today. But even so, in the face of Shi Lan, she still seemed to be at ease.
"Why ......" Shi Lan's heart was full of incredulity.
"Why is she blocking my ......" It seems that the field is full of Keqing's sword light, as long as she stretches out her hand, she will be beaten.
"Am I really going to do my best?" Keqing, who has overcome this state, I'm afraid that there is no sense of accomplishment if he wins... Shi Lan gritted his teeth, and the wind on the field was not stopped with a double fist.
Keqing only felt exhausted, and a soft voice penetrated Shi Lan's ears: "This is ...... I'm going to teach you ...... last"
"When you're facing an opponent who is stronger than you... When sheer power isn't worth mentioning..."
"Clever vs. ... Defeat the enemy with skill..."Shi Lan's Tong Kong shrank suddenly.
"Keqing ......" Keqing closed his momentum, stabbed out with a sword, and all the offensive came to an abrupt end. Because she has reached her limit, her eyes are blurred.
Just like that day in the rain. Only this time, Shi Lan finally held Ke Qing's sword. The noisy voices suddenly stagnated.
The straight sword bent an arc in Shi Lan's hand, and the sting dragon was like a beast biting its prey. Followed by...... Card - the subtle cracking sound is like a sharp arrow piercing people's lungs.
"Tsk, sure enough... It's still too hard to expect one game to teach you......" The long sword split in two, and the blade shattered.
Keqing couldn't stand the weakness of her body anymore, and fell down softly. Shi Lan just stood there blankly, holding a severed sword in his hand, his brain blank.
He didn't even know how he caught the sword......
