Chapter 34: The Gathering of Heroes (1)
The senior hall masters and elders of Luanxiang Pavilion were all busy with the convening of the competition, and Du Congyue and Xiahou Muqing were also involved, so they had no time to take care of their children, leaving only Du Haiyan, Du Zhiqing and He Lingfeng to watch the game from the observation deck of the main arena.
Du Zhiqing, who has always liked to be lively, the more he saw such a bustling scene, the more happy he was in his heart.
"Oops, it's been a great day!" On the main field, Du Zhiqing stood at the top of the observation deck, looking at the bright sunshine, stretching his arms, and said happily.
He Lingfeng on the side looked at Du Zhiqing happily, and his mood also became happy, looking at the radiant senior sister on the side, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you seem to be in a good mood today." ”
"Of course!" Du Zhiqing bathed in the warm sun on the horizon, and smiled comfortably: "I finally waited for the day of the Heroes Competition, and it was a rare good weather, which was really refreshing." ”
He Lingfeng also nodded lightly and whispered to her: "Yes, senior sister, you are also old enough to participate in the competition this year, do you plan to compete with people in the martial arts?" ”
Du Zhiqing pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and then rolled his eyes: "I don't want to compete with those people in the martial arts, I don't know them well, not to mention that people like me don't need to care about winning the first prize and winning fame or anything." ”
"I came to participate this time just to have fun and see how my martial arts are doing in all aspects. I don't need to compare with them, I can learn from our brothers and sisters in Luanxiang Pavilion, it's okay to have fun. ”
He Lingfeng turned his head slightly, smiled and asked her softly, "Since Senior Sister has this heart, can I, Senior Brother, ask Senior Sister to come and have a competition with me for a while?" ”
"Okay!" Du Zhiqing replied heartily as soon as he opened his mouth: "Then tell me, what are we comparing to?" ”
Hearing that Du Zhiqing agreed to compete with him, He Lingfeng was very different in his heart, since Mo Jianchen returned to Luanxiang Pavilion, Du Zhiqing's whole person's attention was on Mo Jianchen, and he paid a lot less attention to him. Promised him at this time, and he was naturally happy in his heart.
He nodded hurriedly and said happily: "Senior sister, you can compare whatever you say, and I am willing to accompany you whatever you want!" ”
"I see, forget it." Du Haiyan on the side shook his head, glanced at He Lingfeng, then at Du Zhiqing, and smiled playfully: "Ling Feng, you have grown up, no matter what you do, you will let this girl, this time you have to compare with her, you are not allowed to let her again, deliberately let her win you." ”
"If you let her take advantage of it so easily, you can't make sure her tail will go up to the sky again. The Heroes Contest is a real skill, if you compare like this, then what's the point? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, brother." Du Zhiqing looked at his brother and pouted: "The Heroes Competition is to compete, and the comparison is the real ability, I don't want to win by opportunism, how can you think of your sister so much." ”
"You're embarrassed to say it." Du Haiyan gently poked Du Zhiqing's forehead and said with a smile: "From childhood to adulthood, it wasn't Ling Feng who let you, if he hadn't let you, would you have won so easily?" In order to make you happy, he doesn't know how many times he has lost to you. ”
"What are you still saying, brother?" Du Zhiqing was not to be outdone, and raised his face towards Du Haiyan with a smug face: "The last time I competed with you to grab the thorn flower, you lost to me several times." I won you with my true strength, don't be unconvinced. ”
"Wait a minute, do you dare to try with me again, if you lose to me again this time, don't feel ashamed."
"Okay." Du Haiyan also agreed heartily: "It's better than that, who is afraid of you little girl, I won't be like Ling Feng, always so indulgent and let you, don't cry if you lose." ”
"Hmph, you look down on me too much, who needs you to let me." Du Zhiqing raised his neck high, and said proudly with a flash of pride in his eyes: "Do you think I will lose to you?" ”
Du Haiyan looked at her sister and chuckled dotingly: "You girl, if you can really win me, then you are indeed amazing." But like Ling Feng who has been letting you all the time, don't think that if you win him, it is your ability, you have to compare, what you compare is real kung fu. ”
"Who says anything else isn't real kung fu?" Du Zhiqing was unconvinced, turned his head again, and ordered He Lingfeng: "Ling Feng, this time when you compete with me, you are not allowed to let me." This is going to make my brother see you let me again, and he will laugh at me again. ”
"What we want to compare is real kung fu, this time you must not let me, you know?"
He Lingfeng has always been obedient to Du Zhiqing, looking at her arrogant demeanor, he just nodded and smiled lightly, "Okay, senior sister, I will listen to you whatever you say." ”
In the years of Baohuaxuan, He Lingfeng was indeed as Du Haiyan said, obeying Du Zhiqing in everything and humbly giving her way. Whether Du Congyue and Xiahou Muqing asked them to compete, or Du Zhiqing offered to compete with him, he would let her take a few steps and deliberately lose to her.
His purpose is to let her win over himself, so that when she is happy, he will feel at ease. Otherwise, even if he wins him, he will still feel guilty. Growing up, he's been like this almost every time.
But Du Haiyan is different, he has the integrity in Du Congyue's bones in his temperament, and he has always liked fairness and justice. Even if you love this sister again, you won't let her do everything, if you have to compete with real skills, so it makes sense.
At the same time, he is not optimistic about He Lingfeng's approach, he always thinks that if he spoils Du Zhiqing too much like He Lingfeng, then Du Zhiqing will not see his position clearly, and will only be overly proud and pampered, which is not conducive to her growth.
Although he privately told He Lingfeng several times that he should not always let Du Zhiqing like this, although He Lingfeng promised verbally, when it was time to compete with her, he would involuntarily let her.
Therefore, when Du Zhiqing competes with He Lingfeng, she will win almost every time, but when she competes with Du Haiyan, she rarely wins, most of the time Du Haiyan wins against her, or draws, so she is very unconvinced.
The only thing she can easily win Du Haiyan is the one who grabs the wattle flower, and when the two of them compete, she wins first almost every time. The brother's martial arts are stronger than him, but this is the only one that is not as good as her.
And because of her identity, in the entire Muzhou City, there is only Du Haiyan who can compete with her to grab the thorn flower. Therefore, winning her brother in this item is the most glorious thing she feels.
At this moment, the opening ceremony of the Heroes Competition has been held, the competition has officially begun, and the venue has been full of martial arts people from all directions. The originally noisy and lively scene suddenly became more lively.
"Oops, the contest has begun, take a look." Du Zhiqing stood on the observation deck excitedly, looking at the knights competing in all directions, and admired while watching: "Sure enough, you see, their skills are really good, our Dayi is really heroes!" ”
But looking at it, she seemed to feel a little empty in her heart, as if she was missing something, and looked around the venue of the competition, looking around: "Hey, why haven't I seen Brother Chen yet, this competition has already begun, why hasn't Brother Chen come yet?" ”
Seeing her looking like this, He Lingfeng's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and a trace of loss crossed his eyes, "Senior sister, isn't this me and my senior brother here to accompany you, why are you in such a hurry to find Senior Brother Mo?" ”
"Then he can't help but come!" Du Zhiqing was still looking around anxiously, and said earnestly: "I have already told him a few days ago, I want to learn from him during the Heroes Competition today, why hasn't he arrived at this time?" ”
Du Haiyan stepped forward and said to her: "Don't worry, Jian Chen has always kept his promises, and it is impossible to break his promise." He probably followed Uncle Abei and Aunt Wen Ru to prepare at the side of the parastopper, and he should be able to come to you in a while. ”
"Hmm...... All right. Hearing what Du Haiyan said, she also calmed down, just nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for him here for a while." ”
"Alas......" She fiddled with the silk thread of the cuffs with both hands, a little embarrassed: "Brother Chen doesn't come to accompany me, I'm just here to watch, what's the point, the venue is occupied, and we can't go, it's so boring......"
Her eyes wandered back and forth on the field, and suddenly she landed on a swordsmanship ring, and saw that there was no one in the ring, and all the weapons were arranged, and only the ring was empty.
She couldn't help but think about it, her eyes flashed lightly, and a little interest suddenly increased in her boring eyes, and she turned her head to Du Haiyan and He Lingfeng and said, "Brother, Ling Feng, you see that the swordsmanship ring over there is empty, anyway, it's idle now, why don't we go over there and try it first?" ”
She paused, and then said to He Lingfeng: "Didn't you just say that you want to compete with me, then let's go over there and compare swordsmanship, how about it?" ”
"Okay!" He Lingfeng immediately replied loudly: "Senior sister, you can compare what you say." ”
Du Zhiqing was elated: "Okay, then let's go down." ”
"Well, just wait a minute." Du Zhiqing seemed to think of something, just took a step, turned back, stretched out a finger to He Lingfeng, and instructed him: "But this time, you have to say it, you are not allowed to let me anymore." ”
"If we want to compare, we have to compare our real skills, and we don't have to scruple about anything, just fight. If you let me go again, my brother will laugh at me again. ”
