Chapter Fifty-Six: The Latecomer

Jiang Huaiyi stood alone at the door of the Jiang Mansion, playing with his fan in his hand, and it was difficult to sit still.

It has been three months since the last time I experienced everything with Liu Qingmian and them, and time is not unhappy. During this time, he had been entangled in family affairs, and he had never been to the Yunxian Sect once, and Jiang Yan had assigned someone else to temporarily take over his work in the Yunxian Sect, so that he could slip away with a big excuse.

It wasn't until his father got busy some time ago and started his life in Qianming City for a long time that Jiang Huaiyi finally regained his freedom. He let out a long sigh, he had been waiting here for an hour, if he wasn't afraid of missing it, he would have gone directly to the riverside dart bureau to find someone.

That's right, he and Shocking String have always remembered what they promised, because the teleportation array is close to here, so the two of them made an appointment to meet at the door of Jiang's house at the end of the day today, and go to the Yunxian Sect to watch the competition together. By the way, I went to find Liu Qingmian and Lin Yurou to catch up.

Looking at the streets and alleys that were still empty, Jiang Huaiyi muttered, "This kid, shouldn't he be late?"

"I still can't believe that such a strict person as Senior Sister is really late..."

With the order of the supervising division commander, it was also completely announced that only two people from the blue side would play in the first round.

There is no time limit for each game, but the referees of the red and blue sides have the right to supervise the behavior of the players, and can also temporarily put forward new requirements for them to maintain the order and fairness of the game. Generally speaking, the referee is not too harsh, but the deliberate delay of time is absolutely prohibited.

For example, now, the pigeons have been released by their trusted companions, and the other two are still immersed in shock, and most importantly, their squad is the most typical 'two auxiliary dogs' tactic, and the 'dogs' are not there, so what are they going to do?

"Please act immediately, don't let me urge again. The blue referee's cold urging came, and Shui Yixuan sighed helplessly. She obviously didn't want to fight this unfair battle, but it was not a way to wait so blindly, but the two peers on the other side were really pitiful, and it was just a kind of torture to let them continue to stay on the field, so it was better to let this unfair competition end sooner.

Before Liu Qingmian could react, the people around her turned into a sword shadow and rushed straight to the opposite side, she didn't even have time to shout!

Seeing Shui Yixuan holding his sword and stabbing straight towards the two opposite, this sudden change overwhelmed everyone present, of course, this was just Liu Qingmian's conjecture.

When the sword blade was still some distance away from the two of them, a white hand pressed on Shui Yixuan's wrist, she didn't attack with all her strength, and just stopped the attack, and the person who suddenly appeared in front of her to stop her was the referee of the blue side.

All the referees present are at least the cultivation of the peak of Jindan, and they are absolutely crushing for these disciples in the foundation building period, although the sword just now is already very fast in Liu Qingmian's eyes, but for the cultivators of the higher realm, although the time is the same, but for her, it is like a slow action, and every move is extremely clear, so if you want to stop it, you only need to use one or two moves.

Shui Yixuan was not surprised by what happened, as if he had expected it, and then the voice of the blue referee announcing the results of the competition sounded: "Red wins!"

Shortly after stepping out of the ring, they were still confused, because no one expected that the first victory would come so easily.

At the same time, the results of the rest of the rings are gradually being produced, and these results will be reflected on the billboard by the judges at the ring.

Soon, all the results were presented, and I saw that the small jade plaques on the kanban were originally clean and flawless, but now the jade plaques seemed to have been marked by something, some of them seemed to be half bright, the other half remained the original color, and the remaining part of the jade plaques became very dim, and the other half remained the same.

Liu Qingmian's jade cards were half lit up, while their opponents were half darker. As the rules say, when the remaining half is lit up, they advance to the next round.

After confirming that all the rings have completed the first round of competition, the next competition is about to begin.

Because there are ten competition venues on the field, that is to say, the number of people who complete each round of competition is 60 people, counting the average time of each game of about ten minutes, nearly 600 people can be completed in one hour, and all the contestants will be compared, and it will take half a day at the earliest, so the Liu Qingmian group that has finished the competition can already arrange it by itself.

This Seven Xuanwu Festival will last for many days, and they noticed that many people in the sect's seats have also left one after another, and the head of today's costume has already left her seat, shuttling through the guest viewing area like a butterfly, talking and laughing with the people inside, and they don't know what they are talking about.

But this is obviously not a problem that the three of them need to pay attention to, because they were in a hurry when they came from Broken Sword Peak this morning, they didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they were hungry at the moment and just wanted to go to the rest area to have a full meal.

Before leaving, Liu Qingmian didn't forget to glance at the stands, but it was a pity that she didn't find the person she wanted to see as she wished, even the person she might have misseen just now was no longer there, which couldn't help but make her wonder if she was wrong or hallucinating?

"It's here, it's over there!"

Two panting people finally ran out of the teleportation array. Today he was two hours late, first because Jiang Jingyi had something to explain to him temporarily, he could only finish it as soon as possible, and then he ran out after asking for leave in advance, and then he thought that he couldn't just go empty-handed, so he went to the street to buy some gifts and bring them.

He thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to buy, so he happened to pass by the street where a few people had eaten before, so he was going to buy some snacks to take with him, so as to pass the time while watching the battle, but something happened to this purchase, and he actually met a thief!

With his shocking skills, he can be regarded as coming and going freely among ordinary people in the human world, but because he was in a hurry today, he was taken advantage of and stole his important personal belongings, although there was not much money in them, but they were the objects that Lin Shenglian gave him when they were separated, so it took him half an hour to chase them back.

Poor Jiang Huaiyi is waiting for mushrooms to grow.

When they finally came to the Zongmen Square, they found that the audience seats inside were already full, in short, today's seats could no longer accommodate them, so the Yunxian Sect disciples who were waiting here also stopped them at the door. Despite this, there are still many idlers who don't have seats like them, but want to see the bustle.

On weekdays, there is no one to guard here, but because the sword has no eyes during the competition, I am afraid that if something goes wrong, there will be an embarrassing situation such as a disciple's magic weapon getting out of his hands and the referee just didn't have time to intercept it, so he specially sent a disciple to be stationed here. From this position at the door, only the nearest ring ten could be seen from a distance, and it was relatively blurry, almost equivalent to seeing nothing, the two glanced at each other, ready to find a way to sneak in.

The two retreated to a nearby corner where no one was around, and Jiang Huaiyi leaned closer and said, "What do you say?

"Ah, why me, you know my acting skills are not very good..."

Jiang Huaiyi frowned and said: "If it weren't for you today, we wouldn't be stopped outside, if you don't attract firepower, who will go?"

Knowing that he was wrong, he sighed and turned around and walked back to the entrance just now.

As for the excuse of poor acting, it's just a fart.

He cleared his throat, glanced at Jiang Huaiyi, who had a resolute look in his eyes, and suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Little sister, little sister, help, ————" as he said, running towards the disciple who was guarding the door.

Standing guard on the days when everyone is busy celebrating, no one will be willing to do it, so this kind of drudgery is generally only assigned to disciples with low cultivation and no power, and then reward some sect contributions and immortal jade, even if they are unwilling in their hearts, they will usually agree to this reward.

These cheap and obedient laborers are naturally very popular with the sect, and they originally wanted to set up a few guards at each entrance, but because this time the Seven Xuanwu Meetings are too interesting, there are many fewer people willing to take the job, so now there is only one person guarding this entrance, and because the price is cheap, the cultivation is also very low.

But even if they can beat each other, they won't be so stupid, causing trouble on such an important day, the people of Yunxian Sect have to skin them and cramp. For these two little foxes, there is naturally their own special method.

The guard was bored in a daze, who knew that suddenly a boy ran over, Dayou ran directly past her, rushed into the momentum of the ongoing competition, and shouted for help in her mouth, she suddenly panicked, she could only force herself to calm down, while stopping him and said: "Eh! Stop, you can't go any further, what's wrong with you?"

Shocking String's expression was exaggerated: "Someone stole my things and ran into the Zongmen Square! I must go in and arrest him!"

As soon as the words fell, not only the sect disciple laughed, but the other people around who were watching the excitement also laughed.

Someone mocked him: "Young man, the good ones don't learn, they learn to deceive people, the big guys want to go in and watch the fairies fight, but today's position is full, you can't get in with any excuse!"

"That's it, this guard fairy is already very tired from work, don't make trouble for others!"

The person who spoke immediately received a lot of approval, and the disciple who guarded the door also said: "That's right, and I have been staying here and never left, and I haven't seen any suspicious characters passing by here, please don't spread rumors, if it's too much, I have a reason to detain you!"

The guard disciple looked upright, because of this incident and the echo of the people around her, she suddenly felt that her boring work suddenly had some meaning.
