Chapter 36: Signs

It didn't take long for the competition to officially begin.

Qin Zhen was very relieved of Ye Yousheng, so she didn't go out of her way to watch him play against others, and just waited for his turn to play against Shen Yingyao.

This will be Shen Yingyao's first battle, and it happened to be after the theft of Qianyuanzong, in order to prevent Qianyuanzong's face from being trampled under his feet again, neither he nor Shen Qifeng would allow him to lose to Ye Yousheng.

Qin Zhen wasn't worried that Ye Yousheng wouldn't be able to beat Shen Yingyao, she was only worried that Shen Qi's summit wouldn't make any stumbling blocks. On the territory of Qianyuanzong, Shen Qifeng wanted to do something about it, but it couldn't be easier.

She has no obsession with Ye Yousheng winning the first place, in her opinion, as long as she can take advantage of this opportunity to go to Zhongzhou in the end. But I can't guarantee that Ye Yousheng will want to prove himself to her through this competition. Although he was very obedient, he only did it on the surface, and more grievances were just silently piled up in his heart.

Qin Zhen didn't want to be separated from him because of this, so she wanted to listen to Heng Mingzhi's previous opinions, gradually let go of his hand, and let him make decisions for himself, instead of making decisions for him.

"In the first game, Sun Yi, the head of the Qianyuan Sect, will fight against Xie Hui, and invite the monks from both sides to play." On the competition platform closest to Qin Zhen, the referee called out the names of the participants in this game.

Qin Zhen heard the familiar name, so she looked over.

A male monk dressed in the costume of a disciple of the Qianyuan Sect came to the stage first, he looked a little lazy, and after taking the stage, he yawned regardless of his image.

The referee below seemed to be very familiar with him, and frowned and reminded: "Senior Brother Eldest Sun, as the host, our Qianyuan Sect must pay attention to establishing an image everywhere. And it's still a game, you better have more snacks and don't be as casual as usual. ”

"Alas......" Changsun Yi sighed sleepily, "Isn't the opponent not here yet?" ”

"Then you should always hold yourself to the highest standards." The referee was very dissatisfied with his attitude, "If you spend all your thoughts on Senior Sister Lin on cultivation, you won't be the same as you are now." ”

Eldest Sun Yi's eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "There are still so many people, senior brother, just save some face for me." ”

The referee also did a good job of taking his appearance of oil and salt not entering, and he also took care of the occasion, so it was not good to say it again.

Qin Zhen recognized this person as the male monk who was with Lin Han at the ancient monument. But now Lin Han's matter is over with her, so she doesn't pay too much attention to Changsun Yi.

It's just Xie Hui, I don't know why I haven't been on the field for a long time.

The referee saw that Xie Hui did not play, and shouted Xie Hui's name several times, but still did not see him come out.

The referee frowned, and summoned the disciples of the patrol team to check the records of entering and leaving Yangping City. After this investigation, it was found that since the last time the competition was temporarily interrupted and Xie Hui left Qianyuanzong, there was no longer his passing record.

Now there is not a single monk named Xie Hui in the entire Yangping City and even in Xingzhou, but no one knows when he left Yangping City, and how he left Xingzhou under heavy security.

The referee's face was a little ugly, but because of the presence of so many monks from other sects, he had to calm down: "Scattered cultivator Xie Hui voluntarily gave up the game, and this game will automatically be won by Sun Yi, the head of the Qianyuan Sect." ”

The people waiting for the game on the field suddenly whispered timidly.

"Tsk, I just came here to watch the Sanxiu competition, why did he have an accident during the competition last time, and this time he didn't come directly."

"Don't say it, it's a waste of time, let's hurry up and watch other games, don't waste the opportunity to watch the disciples of the big sect make a move."

The crowd left in disappointment.

Changsun Yi still doesn't care, anyway, he is just here to make up the numbers, and what his record is has no effect on him.

The referee originally wanted to take this opportunity to test his recent cultivation results, but now he could only repeatedly ask him to promise to cultivate well when he returned, and then let him go.

Xie Hui appeared very mysteriously, and left quietly, like a ghost, disappearing in front of everyone's eyes when the wind blew.

Qin Zhen kept this name in her heart. She had a hunch that as long as she continued to go on like this, she and Xie Hui would meet again sooner or later.

On the other side of the field.

Tang Yan was cheering for Ye Yousheng: "Ye Daoyou, don't be nervous, I believe you will definitely win today." ”

Ye Yousheng opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was not nervous, but this was the first time that someone had cheered him on so directly, and he still accepted Tang Yan's kindness.

Obviously, Tang Yan has only met him a few times, but he will remember his game time, and he will come to watch his game and cheer for himself. But Senior Sister ......

Thinking of his senior sister, Ye Yousheng was a little depressed.

What is Senior Sister busy with?

Tang Yan keenly caught his loss, and grabbed his shoulders very familiarly, and whispered: "Tell you quietly, the young sect master of the Qianyuan Sect is just a showman, and he will definitely not be your opponent." But you can't start too hard, otherwise Sect Master Shen will not look good, and you and your senior sister will also get into trouble for nothing. ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Ye Yousheng didn't expect Tang Yan to be able to tell him this from the bottom of his heart, and he was grateful and trusted him a little more.

Anyway, Senior Sister also agreed to let Tang Yan visit the sect at that time, so it would not be a bad thing for him to say a few more words to Tang Yan like this.

"What's this, this is what my senior brother taught me little by little in the past" Tang Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, and then suddenly said in surprise, "Didn't Ye Daoyou's senior sister tell you this?" I see that Ye Daoyou has a lot of respect for your senior sister, but why doesn't she even tell you this, aren't you afraid that you will offend Sect Master Shen? ”

Hearing Tang Yan mention Qin Zhen, Ye Yousheng suddenly became vigilant again: "Of course Senior Sister told me this, but I forgot it myself. ”

Tang Yan accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly apologized to Ye Yousheng: "It's me who offended, and I hope Ye Daoyou won't blame you." ”

Ye Yousheng saw that Tang Yan sincerely apologized, and he was also a little embarrassed, after all, Qin Hao really didn't tell him this, and Heng Mingzhi didn't tell him this when he looked at Qin Hao's eyes. Only Tang Yan regarded him as a peer who could communicate normally, and carefully analyzed the pros and cons with him.

Tang Yan saw that Ye Yousheng's expression was relaxed, and he knew that he had made the right move. Qin Zhen really had bad intentions, but when he saw Ye Yousheng's talent, he deceived his trust, never told him about these benefits, and only used him as a tool, trying in vain to cultivate him into the sharpest sword in his hand to make up for his weakness of not being able to pick up arms.

He also became more and more sympathetic to Ye Yousheng. He himself is obviously not very talented, but the master never dislikes him, and even the head of the family has a lot of use for him. However, a genius like Ye Yousheng is obviously an existence that will be cared for in any sect, but now he is going to fall into Qin Zhen's hands to be tortured.

But it doesn't matter, he will save Ye Yousheng!

Tang Yan knew that he couldn't be too anxious, but as long as he was really good to Ye Yousheng and regarded Ye Yousheng as a friend, Ye Yousheng would completely believe him sooner or later.

So he asked Ye Yousheng for some questions about cultivation, and sure enough, as long as Qin Zhen was not mentioned, Ye Yousheng's precautions were lowered a lot, and as long as he could answer them, he would seriously tell Tang Yan one by one.

Shen He was standing on the viewing platform, and from a distance, he saw Tang Yan and Ye Yousheng very familiar.

He knew that Tang Yan was a member of the Imperial Fire Gate, and he also knew that Qin Zhen valued him as a junior brother. It's just that I didn't expect that Qin Hao would also miscalculate, and he still didn't prevent his enemy from attacking Ye Yousheng, and it seemed to be very effective.

His hand subconsciously wanted to touch the jade handle to report to Qin Hao, but the cold touch of the jade handle reminded him that his cooperation with Qin Hao had broken down, and he was not obliged to help Qin Hao anymore.

Yes, it doesn't matter to him what happens to Qin Hao after that, his top priority is to readjust the plan and pull Shen Hezheng down from the position of the young sect master, and when he inherits the Qianyuan Sect, he will let Shen Qifeng watch how his favorite youngest son kneels at his feet and begs like a dog, just like he once pleaded with Shen Qifeng.

And Shen Yingyao is still standing next to him in the dark, waiting for the upcoming match.

He didn't know how partial his good father was, he had never felt that his elder brother wanted to snatch his position as the young sect master, and he really wanted to see what kind of expression he would have when he knew the truth. Would a naΓ―ve and rotten good person like him sit idly by and ignore him wanting to kill Shen Qifeng after seeing the scars on his body that he was beaten?

Shen Hezheng put away the restlessness in his heart, and patted Shen Yingyao's shoulder kindly, just like every good brother: "Yingyao, how are you preparing for today's game?" ”

Shen Yingyao looked at him inexplicably, and didn't understand how he could still talk to himself like a nobody, even though he had torn his face that day.

"I misunderstood you that day, I didn't expect the forces in Zhongzhou to be so cunning and deceive us all." Shen Hezheng looked annoyed, "As a brother, I didn't stand on your side, it's my fault. ”

Shen Yingyao couldn't figure out his routine, but he wouldn't believe anything Shen Hezheng said anymore, so he snorted coldly and turned his head: "What kind of good person are you pretending to be now, who cares about you so cheaply." ”

He thought that such words would sting Shen Hezheng, after all, he had said this in the past, although Shen Hezheng still looked peaceful, in fact, he could hear Shen Hezheng gritting his teeth.

But this time, Shen Hezheng just sighed helplessly and didn't talk to him again.

What's going on? Shen Yingyao looked suspicious, but the referee had already called his name, and he was eager to prove himself by defeating Ye Yousheng, who currently had the highest record, so he ignored the abnormal Shen Hezheng and hurriedly got out of the audience.

Shen Hezheng slowly withdrew the hand that had patted Shen Yingyao's shoulder just now, there was still a little spiritual power left on his wrist, and it was obvious that he had cast some spell just now.

If it was purely based on strength, Shen Yingyao would naturally not be able to win against Ye Yousheng, but who can say that strength only includes his own cultivation? A strong backer can naturally affect the entire battle situation at this time.

And he won't let Shen Yingyao win because of this backer, he wants Shen Yingyao to lose face in front of everyone. Not only to lose, but also to lose in the most painful way.

What does Qianyuanzong's face have to do with him? Anyway, the current sect master is Shen Qifeng, and he is the one who should be worried. And when he Shen He is the sect master, who will care about this at that time?
