Chapter Seventy-Four: The Scabbard Shows Love

The three of them chatted and ate the dishes at the same time, and the time quickly passed noon.

Looking at this day, the time is almost the same. Since this restaurant is built on the side of the Elder Square, it is very close to the Dabi ring, and there are also many guests who come here to eat, and they have chartered private rooms by the window on the second and third floors to watch Dabi in the afternoon.

At this time, the three of them saw that the ring not far away was already crowded with people again, and Zhao Yunming was also standing on the side of the ring.

The three of them left their seats and walked to the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

"This son, a total of fifty-three Wen, you can give five coins of silver. At the checkout, the middle-aged shopkeeper with a mustache said with a smile.

Yi Xifeng paid and pointed to the table where he had just sat down.

"The jar of wine hasn't been moved yet, so you don't need to return it, just take it and heat it." Yi Xifeng said.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, "Does the guest officer want to take it away, or do you continue to drink in the lobby of the small shop?" If you take it away, you may have to wait a while. ”

Yi Xifeng laughed, waved his hand at the shopkeeper and said, "Don't worry, I'll go back!"

After that, Yi regretted the limelight and walked to the ring in the center of the square without looking back.

......

At this time, there were already people standing under the ring, all talking about the several matchups in the morning, as well as various speculations about the three matches in the afternoon.

"I said his second sister-in-law, I still think that little ghost named Zhao Long is really handsome!" said a young woman in her twenties wearing brocade with a on her face.

"Hmph! bean sprouts that haven't grown, small enoki mushrooms...... What's the use of being handsome? I think it's better to be Zhang Yanyan, look at those arms, those thighs, how sturdy! Look at it, it's a sturdy real man!" said a woman in her thirties next to her with a smile.

Yi Xifeng, who was passing by, couldn't help but pout, and muttered, "Handsome, sturdy, hehe, it seems that the second sister-in-law is really a woman!"

Yi Xifeng stepped into the ring, and at this time, from the other side of the ring, the woman in green shirt who appeared in the restaurant before also stepped into the ring.

The one who came was Yi Xifeng's opponent in this competition - Zhong Lingxi.

As the strongest combat force among the women in Yinren Village, and also the goddess of many men's strong men, Zhong Lingxi's popularity is still very high in this martial arts competition.

She is only sixteen years old this year, and she only entered the Zhuang Ding occupation last year, and she is also a rookie in the Zhuang Ding occupation. After all, the main purpose of the martial arts competition is to select outstanding strong men to engage in and be promoted to become the guard iron suit. The group that pays the most attention to the martial arts competition is still engaged in the strong men in the village, and of course they support the goddess in their hearts.

In addition to the twelve masters of the martial arts competition, Yinren Village will also select fifteen martial artists to advance according to the performance of each ring. Therefore, every time a martial arts competition is performed, the twelve masters of martial arts are staged, and a total of twenty-seven martial artists are selected to advance to guard the iron clothes. These twenty-seven newly-promoted guards are often referred to as the twenty-seven rookies.

Zhao Yunming saw that both sides were standing in their respective positions, so he said loudly: "Okay, then I announce that the main qualifying match of the martial arts competition, the fourth game, starts!"

Zhong Lingxi held a blue moon-colored short sword, and a green shirt outlined a graceful figure. Without too much nonsense, the arrogant girl didn't even say a word of nonsense to Yi Xifeng, so she rushed forward with her sword.

A touch of cyan streamer followed the shadow of the sword, and rushed straight to the door of Yi Xifeng. Four pale cyan sword shadows burst out from the blue moon-colored short sword, like a spinning scimitar, slashing towards Yi Xifeng from four directions.

Looking at the four sword shadows that slashed towards him, Yi Xifeng didn't dare to hold it up, raised his hand and pulled the white silk tied to the scabbard of Guizang, and threw the scabbard from behind to his body. Yi Xifeng took advantage of the situation and grabbed the hilt of the sword in his hand. The whole action is done in one go, and it is indescribably chic.

Zhong Lingxi smiled disdainfully, and the pace under his feet was faster. The last hair came first, and before the sword shadow, a sword slashed at the scabbard that Yi Xifeng threw towards the girl.

Yi Xifeng's eyes lit up, and he slapped the sword body horizontally, and the girl's sword was slashed right on the side of the scabbard.

"Cangchang!" A sound of gold and iron clashing, the scabbard of Guizang was slashed away by the girl's sword, and Yi Xifeng also took advantage of the situation to pull out the night sword cold star. To Zhong Lingxi's surprise, the white cloth wrapped around the scabbard did not break in the slightest after this blow.

Yi Xifeng retreated and slashed with a swirling slash, smashing the four sword shadows that followed him at the same time. With the other hand, he gently tugged on the white silk, and the sword scabbard that flew away flew back into his hand.

"Your scabbard is good. Zhong Lingxi saw that the other party had blocked this blow, and did not immediately pursue it, and praised it for the first time.

"Why do you want it? Do you want me to give it to you after the competition?" Yi Xifeng bared his teeth and teased with a smile.

......

But Zhong Lingxi and the audience, who heard this sentence clearly, their faces became very strange.

The audience was silent for a while, and in an instant, the sound of discussion erupted from the crowd like boiling water.

"What? This little imp is going to give her sword scabbard to Miss Chung! What does this little imp want to do? Show affection? How old is he?" shouted a stout man, apparently a die-hard supporter of Miss Chung.

"Oh my God, if one day a man openly professes his love to me on such an occasion, I will definitely promise him!" said a young girl not far away, with a look of envy.

"I'll just say, beautiful women love lines, look at the white cloth on the scabbard, how simple and clear the lines are! It's just pleasing to girls!" exclaimed a balding middle-aged man......

Zhong Lingxi on the stage, his face was not so good-looking, he just casually praised the other party for the beautiful scabbard, and the young man was going to give it to himself. If you don't really love yourself for a long time, then this little ghost is a disciple who talks all day long!

Thinking of this, Zhong Lingxi's face turned from the previous flush to white. The girl shook her sword flower, and without even giving Yi Xifeng a chance to explain, she stabbed at the other party.

Yi Xifeng also sensed that something was wrong, first the shouting of the audience, and then the continuous change of Zhong Lingxi's face on the other side.

Since Yi Xifeng opened up the fourteen meridians around his body, his senses have been significantly more sensitive, and in recent years, Yi Xifeng has continued to drink vegetarian wine, and this improvement is also slowly strengthening. So what the audience said just now, he vaguely listened to a rough idea, thinking that he had overturned......

Since Yi Xifeng is only nine years old, he still doesn't know much about many customs. In fact, teenagers and girls of the same age know very little.

Only when you graduate from Xiyi, that is, when you are twelve years old, will the village arrange a special art teacher to teach everyone the great defense of men and women, and how to express your love when you meet each other in the future, so that it is not rude.

And men and women give each other swords and scabbards, which is the most common way for warriors.

What's more coincidental is that the custom stipulates that when a man sees the girl he likes, he gives the other party a scabbard to show his love. If the woman accepts, she will accept the scabbard, and when the man and woman get married, the woman will take out the scabbard, and the man will insert the sword back into the scabbard and hang it at the head of the bed. This is also an important custom at weddings.

Twelve-year-old boys have more or less a sense of male and female, and they also have a good impression and curiosity about the opposite sex, and they are naturally more interested in this kind of thing. The reason why it is delayed until the end of the whole practice of art and then teaching these knowledge to boys and girls is mainly to prevent early exposure to these things, which will distract them from using their energy in learning art.

Unfortunately, of the seven teenagers who participated in the martial arts competition, only Zhao Long and Wang Bodang understood the etiquette in this regard, but the others did not know anything. And these two people belong to the kind of people who are relatively late in enlightenment, and they all use their minds on martial arts cultivation, and they don't think about it. This led to the "tragedy" of Yi Xifeng.

"Wait a minute, Miss Zhong!" Yi Xifeng immediately blocked the horizontal sword in front of his chest, and used the night sword cold star to block the sword that the other party slashed over. He explained aloud: "I was joking just now, I didn't really want to give you the scabbard!"

Zhong Lingxi's face became even more ugly, and he shouted lightly: "Dengzi, look at the sword!"
