Chapter Seventy-One: The Sect's Banquet
The sudden appearance of the head of the door was unexpected by everyone, and her graceful posture instantly attracted the attention of the court, and somewhat eased the atmosphere for both sides on the stage. After saying this, she urged those who were still near the ring to leave as soon as possible, so that the disciples in charge of the venue could prepare for the banquet as soon as possible, and at the same time instructed the disciples of the Medical Sect on the scene to carefully check the injuries of everyone before leaving here,
After the boss left, the Inspectors of each ring began to organize the finishing touches and guide those who were still wandering around the ring away. On the stage, Shui Yixuan silently went over to help Zhong Hanyan on the ground, and then the two went over together to find Liu Qingmian. The three of them looked at each other silently, although the competition was lost, there was no unhappiness in everyone's eyes, and they even had a smile.
"You just played well, Xiao Mian!" The three of them helped each other forward, and although Zhong Hanyan's face was pale, he still habitually joked with Liu Qingmian.
Liu Qingmian scratched his head embarrassedly, and said while carefully stepping off the ring: "What did the senior sister say, I have been beaten...", at this time, the audience in the audience flocked to the exit of the ring of the red side, and when they came down, the first thing they felt was the enthusiastic encouragement from the audience, and this meeting made the inspectors of the No. 8 ring have a headache, they can only call other disciples to help guide the evacuation, otherwise if it is delayed, the evening banquet does not know what time it will start.
The three people who had just stepped down were stunned when they saw so many cheers for them, they didn't expect to be supported by so many people, and they were very overwhelmed, so they could only be flattered and thank everyone, and many of them also asked their names and said that they wanted to get acquainted with them. Compared to the lively and pleasant atmosphere on the red side, the blue side was dull and quiet, and there were only three or two admirers of Gu Tian at the blue side, as well as those who could not squeeze into the red side and could only be forced to stay here.
None of the three BLU players have left the ring, and they are still holding on to their actions at the end of the match. The white wreath that was still shining with a glimmer just now was now dim, but Lin Yurou's hand still maintained a posture of holding it tightly, and a drop of cold sweat also happened to slide down her face at this time.
They had successfully won their first victory in the morning under Gu Tian's strong attack, and the two sisters were full of confidence, because with Gu Tian's strength, they could almost steadily lead them to the top 100 in the squad stage. Because she really wants to win, and she also wants to make sure that nothing goes wrong as much as possible, so she will listen to the arrangements of the other two as much as possible during the competition and take the initiative to make a move.
When she knew that she was about to fight against her former friends, although it was a little cruel, she was actually relieved, because she knew that Liu Qingmian's cultivation was too far behind everyone, and the previous experience of going to Guangyao City together showed that Liu Qingmian's cultivation level was not high, in her estimation, they should be able to win this game easily, but who would have thought that the level of everyone on the other side was not bad, and there was even a faint momentum to surpass her and her sister!
But as the game progressed, and seeing Liu Qingmian and them working so hard, Lin Yurou wanted to release water in her heart for a moment, but at this time, her sister Lin Shenglian leaned over and told her that Zhong Hanyan said something very excessive to her before going on stage, so she wanted to get back no matter what, no matter whether she won or lost, at least scare Zhong Hanyan and let her learn some lessons.
Of course, Lin Yurou understood her feelings, but she was still very embarrassed: "You know the relationship between me and the two of them, I'm really afraid to do it, otherwise the two of you will fight this time?" I'm afraid that my hesitation at that time will ruin your business..."
"Sister, don't be afraid! You just help me as I say! Just use your trick!"
Well, as long as they need it, they can help themselves, so when she heard Lin Sheng's signal, she immediately used the moves they had practiced before the game, summoning the power of the earth to restrict the actions of the opposite side for a short time!
But she didn't expect that her friend might really be hurt by this, and it wasn't until everything really happened in front of her that she realized that she was too inconsiderate after all!
"It's me... Did you do something wrong?" Lin Yurou muttered to herself, while Lin Shenglian silently went over and pulled her up, and the three of them got out of the ring with their own concerns. When Lin Yurou glanced back before leaving, she wanted to say something to her former friend, but she felt very regretful before she did it just now, and she lost the courage to speak up for a while. She could only look at Liu Qingmian from a distance, although the three of them were very embarrassed, they still looked like they were talking and laughing, and she couldn't help but recall the days that the three of them had experienced, which were not long but very warm.
She just wants to pursue to be stronger, so she is getting closer to the strong, is she really doing something wrong?
With a lot of heart, Lin Yurou still couldn't take that step after all, and finally could only leave with Lin Shenglian and Gu Tian, although the three of them were the winners, but not many viewers paid attention to them, as if they had done something disgraceful, the three of them quickened their pace, lowered their heads and quickly integrated into the crowd that ended, and disappeared completely.
Shocked to look at the direction in which Lin Shenglian disappeared, he was stunned, and was patted on the shoulder by Xie Yunzhi next to him, and comforted: "Don't look at it, there will be a chance to see it at the banquet in the evening." ”
Shocked strings blushed and unnaturally withdrew their gaze, at this time Liu Qingmian and the three of them also walked over, and on the way to come, they met many viewers who encouraged them, after all, now there is one win and one loss, and the final result will not be known until tomorrow morning. After experiencing this protracted competition, although the three of them have been at a disadvantage, they can be regarded as accumulating a lot of practical experience in the face of the strong, and besides, Gu Tian is also a hotly discussed powerhouse this year, so they have a little confidence in the future competition.
Seeing everyone coming, Xie Yunzhi said with a smile: "The competition is very exciting! Victory or defeat is no longer important, I see that you have done your best, done a good job, and worked hard!"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and it was naturally very happy to be praised by a character like Xie Yunzhi: "Thank you, senior brother!
Xie Yunzhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "The three of you allow me to say more, the competition within the sect will inevitably cause some friction, but everyone is the same disciple, don't be resentful, this is only bad for cultivation!" After speaking, he was afraid that what he had just said was too serious, so he changed his tone and continued: "The competition in our Seven Xuanzong has beaten you to the death every time, but everyone is usually the same disciple who has the same difficulties." ”
Of course, Liu Qingmian and Zhong Hanyan knew why he was saying this, they did have a grudge in their hearts, and they couldn't digest it quickly, but they both nodded vigorously.
Xie Yunzhi saw that they understood, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's not talk about such serious things! Let's go, vacate the venue here, the senior sisters still have to wait to arrange and prepare for tonight's banquet, I heard that there will be a ceremony to release river lanterns after the meeting, and the Yunxian Sect should become very lively at that time."
Liu Qingmian had already recovered a lot of physical strength at this time, and said strangely: "What is the river lantern ceremony? Also, I haven't seen a river near Zongmen Square for everyone to put it." ”
Xie Yunzhi smiled mysteriously: "It's true that there isn't, but isn't there a Seven Xuanzong this year, so we also brought something special, and you'll know when it's later." He deliberately sold a pass, which caused several people to be very curious, and they began to look forward to and speculate about what this banquet would be like tonight.
The arrangement of the square was carried out by the joint efforts of many disciples, and it only took less than half an hour, and the rest of the work was controlled by the powerful chefs specially invited by the sect from the human world.
When the three of them came back from a stroll outside, they smelled the smell of food from the field before they reached the square, and more than an hour had passed since they left the square, only to see that the whole square was falling at night, the lights were on, and the street lamps on both sides of the road were also lit up, and the lively square where ten rings were placed during the day was occupied by hundreds of tables of banquets, and only one ring was left in the center, which was carefully decorated with celebratory red ribbons for the evening song and dance performances.
The audience took their seats one after another, and it didn't take long for them to occupy a place, Liu Qingmian and his party finally found a place for a table that could accommodate five people, and it was roughly estimated that the capacity of these banquet tables was much larger than the number of audiences in the morning, and the reason why so many people came to participate was to see off those who were eliminated, and they would leave Zongmen Square tomorrow. Another point is that this banquet is also an important social occasion, and many of the seats are reserved for important guests who did not come to watch the battle, but have a certain amount of money and power.
The identities of these guests are varied, and many of them have disciples who want to come here to pick up leaks and want to leave the sect, if they meet someone who is willing, they can leave the sect directly and follow the guests to work in the human world.
Liu Qingmian carefully observed everything around her, and she found that there were many people who were dressed in extraordinary luxury, and even people from the court who were dressed in a low-key manner, and these people were more or less arranged to sit for the banquet according to their importance, and the outer circle was for the disciples to sit on the ground.
Most of these people didn't come during the daytime competition, after all, there is something to watch like this kind of foundation building level competition, but it is not enough to attract so many important people, and the reason why they are still here so late is naturally not just for eating or watching performances.
"Eh, isn't that the boss of the Siyuan Pavilion!" Jiang Huaiyi pointed to the front row seats near the ring, and several people looked in the direction he was pointing, a middle-aged man with a kind face, next to him was the master who had repaired jade bricks for several people before, and most of the other people at the same table didn't know each other, but they all seemed to be either rich or expensive, they were all busy getting to know each other in order to expand their contacts and business.
The people who can sit in the front row at this kind of sect banquet are obviously not simple, and it also shows that the Yunxian Sect is determined to have a good relationship with Guangyao City this time, and directly goes to the core interest class.
"I don't know if I will call the city lord or even the emperor back?" Liu Qingmian guessed.
Although the seats were relatively rear, the height of the ring was high enough that it did not affect their view of the stage. On the dinner table are some pre-dinner cold dishes, although they are not delicacies from the mountains and seas, but everyone who is tired for a day is already drooling just by looking at it.
Zhong Hanyan looked east and west, and asked in a low voice, "Can you eat it?" I'm about to faint from hunger..."
Shui Yixuan glared at her, "Are you embarrassed to say that you are hungry? You ate two buns when you just went out for a walk, and even my share was half of yours, you say, what qualifications do you have to say that you are hungry?" After speaking, she also looked around for a week, and continued: "Hold back! This table is not full yet, and I haven't seen anyone else at the table eating, bear with me!"
Zhong Hanyan could only do it bitterly, and it didn't take long for a timid voice to come, as pleasant as a silver bell, and he couldn't help but feel better, but more importantly, Liu Qingmian felt that this voice was very familiar.
Not only did Liu Qingmian feel familiar, but the shocking string next to him screamed directly.
"Sheng Lian! there is a place, please sit down, there is no one next to here!"
The rest of the people looked over curiously when they heard this, and it was none other than their two good opponents before, Lin Yurou and Lin Shenglian.
The air seemed to be condensed at this time, except for the smile that couldn't be concealed on the face of the frightened string, everyone else was frozen in their smiles, and in the end, it was Lin Yurou who broke the awkward silence and said with a wry smile: "We specially came here to compensate for today's competition!"
