In the afternoon, next to the ancient pavilion of the mountain cliff.

Xiao Beichen lightly grasped the black sword, dodged forward again, and Liu Chunying also made a move!

In an instant, the swords fought together, and the fire was overflowing!

"Woohoo! Bell!! With a sharp sound, the two fought for more than a dozen rounds in a row!

After a long time, the two retreated separately.

Xiao Beichen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly.

"Chunying, your internal strength has improved a lot, and it is several times stronger than before."

"Hmm... I feel that my cultivation is about to reach the sixth stage of martial arts. Beichen, thank you so much. ”

Liu Chunying gasped softly, her beautiful cheeks were not only full of sweat, but also flushed.

"Really? That's great! The hard work of these days has finally paid off. ”

Xiao Beichen smiled happily and was happy for Liu Chunying from the bottom of his heart.

The corners of Liu Chunying's lips raised slightly, and she asked.

"What about you, have you broken through to the seventh stage?"

"Uh, hehe~ Although I'm in the late sixth stage now, I feel... To reach seven dans is still a long way off. ”

Xiao Beichen smiled wryly and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, that's it.... Let's go for it. ”

Liu Chunying nodded, and a few grains of sweat dripped from her chin one after another.

Seeing this, Xiao Beichen had more concern in his eyes, and said to her gently.

"Chunying, are you tired? Why don't you take a break, after all, we've been practicing for hours. ”

"Well, that's fine."

After that, Liu Chunying and Xiao Beichen returned to the pavilion and sat down.

The next moment, a few gentle breezes blew slowly.

Liu Chunying faced out of the pavilion, lifted the tips of her hair next to her ears, half-closed her eyes, and enjoyed the cool breeze.

At this time, the rich fragrance of sweat on Liu Chunying's body was constantly rushing towards Xiao Beichen along the breeze, causing him to blush and be fascinated.

Xiao Beichen's expression was shy, and he just wanted to take his eyes off Liu Chunying, but she immediately noticed it.

Liu Chunying looked to the side and saw Xiao Beichen's face red and red, and his expression was a little nervous.

"Beichen, what's wrong with you?" She asked softly.

"Huh? Not... It's okay. Xiao Beichen exhaled a few hot breaths, and hurriedly began to explain: "I'm just a little hot. ”

"Hehe~ We just finished practicing martial arts, let's sit more and blow gusts of wind." Liu Chunying smiled lightly.

"Uh-huh..."

Xiao Beichen nodded hurriedly and lowered his face shyly.

Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Liu Chunying recalled the matter between Xiao Beichen and Ouyang Huan, and suddenly became interested, so she asked very curiously.

"In the morning, what did you talk to the young master of Liaoyuan Palace alone?"

"Just... A bet was made. ”

"What bet?" Her face was full of confusion.

Xiao Beichen looked at Liu Chunying's confused expression, and told all the contents of the gambling contract.

Liu Chunying frowned slightly, and said very unhappily.

"How can you agree so hastily, if you lose, you have to go back with them."

"Brother Huan, he is enthusiastic, I can't refuse." Xiao Beichen smiled awkwardly.

Liu Chunying's face was already unhappy, and she immediately asked back.

"Really, are you sure you'll win?"

"Hmm... Brother Huan's strength is very strong, but I'm not weak either. Xiao Beichen carefully recalled Ouyang Huan's fighting posture and continued to speak: "The strength between us should be comparable. Chunying, don't worry, I'm sure I won't lose. ”

But Liu Chunying's brows gradually tightened, and when she remembered Ouyang Xiaqing's face, she probably understood the intentions of the two brothers and sisters.

"No, there's still something wrong." She shook her head and said seriously, "Let's turn him down another day." ”

"Well, that's not good." Xiao Beichen's face was a little more embarrassed, and he replied slowly: "I have already promised others, how can I easily regret it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Chunying immediately turn around and turn his back to him directly.

Xiao Beichen's pupils trembled slightly, his expression became a little flustered, and he asked in a low voice.

"What, what's wrong, Chunying?"

“..........”

Liu Chunying still didn't speak, looking sullen, and she was already very angry in her heart.

Xiao Beichen was stunned for a while, it was the first time he saw Liu Chunying like this, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

The next moment, Xiao Beichen stood up and sat down in front of Liu Chunying, looking at her lowering her face, biting her lip lightly, with a very sad look in her eyes.

"Chunying, are you worried that I won't be able to win..."Xiao Beichen asked softly.

"Nope! I just don't think it's necessary. Liu Chunying's eyes were slightly red, she frowned bitterly, and said loudly: "Why do you want to use your life as a bargaining chip for betting, this is too child's play, and it is very irresponsible for yourself!" ”

Xiao Beichen was silent, lowered his head slightly, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Chunying's hands clenched slightly, and there was a slight tremor between her words.

"And... If you lose, are you going to leave? ”

"No, it won't!" Xiao Beichen spoke sharply and looked at Liu Chunying seriously, "I promised to help you find the culprit behind the murder of your parents, then I will definitely do it!" No matter the ends of the earth, I will accompany you! ”

"Then why did you promise to gamble...."

"It's my own choice, just trust me, I'll win!"

Xiao Beichen's eyes replied firmly, and he slowly stood up.

Liu Chunying pursed her lips lightly, and when she saw that the matter had come to this, she stopped persuading.

At this moment, Dou Fei flew out of the pavilion and landed on Xiao Beichen's shoulder.

"Stinky little ghost! So you're here! I said, why didn't I see you in the bamboo forest! Dou Fei said loudly, noticing Liu Chunying beside him, "Yo, you're also there, girl!" Stinky little ghost! Didn't you say you were going to practice alone, why did she stay with her again?! ”

"Uh... Occasionally, I just want to come here to breathe. Xiao Beichen said perfunctorily.

After the past few days, Xiao Beichen probably knew in his heart that the mask swordsman was only targeting himself, and would not make a move on the people around him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Beichen's face couldn't help but sink, it seemed that in the end, as the masked swordsman said, the grievances between the two of them would be completely broken in the ring of the finals.

At this time, the corners of Liu Chunying's mouth raised a light smile and waved hello to Dou Fei.

"Eh, Doufei, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Heh, it stays in that spirit stone mine all day long, and there are ghosts when it can see it." Xiao Beichen choked softly.

After Dou Fei heard this, he was immediately annoyed and opened his mouth to scream.

"What do you say?! Stinky little ghost! Uncle Ben, isn't it just here to see how you practiced in the final form! ”

"It's still like that, I didn't go any further."

Xiao Beichen shook his head twice and responded helplessly.

Hearing this, Dou Fei was furious, and he was directly so angry that he jumped to his feet one after another.

"Stinky little ghost! You're stupid! Can you understand the sentence in the book? ”

"Ahh I know, I'm trying. Xiao Beichen said impatiently.

"Humph! Stinky little ghost! What a bad attitude you have to learn! Dou Fei reprimanded sharply, turning his head to look at Liu Chunying, "Girl! You have to push him harder! ”

"Well, don't worry, I will."

Liu Chunying replied softly with a smile on her face.

Immediately, Dou Fei spread his wings again and flew towards the outside of the pavilion.

Xiao Beichen turned his head to look at Liu Chunying and asked her with a smile.

"Chunying, do you still want to practice again?"

"Yes."

Liu Chunying nodded with a smile, slowly stood up, and walked out of the pavilion with Xiao Beichen.
