It is impossible to say that he was not nervous at all before the competition, but it is probably rare in the world to be so nervous that his hands and feet are cold and he walks smoothly. Seeing that he was so nervous, Su Zi had to take a few more breakfasts, hoping that the food would make his teammates relax a little.

"Ahh Gu Hai said with some annoyance.

Su Zi didn't think so, he handed him the rice bowl he took for Gu Hai, and said: "It's useless for you to go and see it, some people are just more nervous, just relax your heart." Anyway, we're still in the first grade, so even if it's a round of tours, it's not a big deal to come back next year. ”

Xu is really too nervous, Gu Hai, who would have returned to a mouthful in the past, this time he actually pursed his mouth and lowered his head and began to eat, Su Zi saw him like this, and did not say anything more, until Xia Huairuo's familiar and warm tone broke the inexplicable silence.

"Gu Hai, Su Zi, it's your turn to form the southern line today, we have all taken a leave of absence, and we are waiting to cheer you on!" she said as she pulled up the hands of Jiang Xingque and Ye Wanchi beside her and shook them lightly to show support.

When the young man who was originally immersed in hard work heard this, he even forgot to swallow the food first for a while, and he was choked.

Finally relieved, Gu Hai set his eyes on the culprit, Xia Huairuo still looked heartless, smiling heartily, even Ye Wanchi beside him rarely laughed so much that he turned sideways to hide his face.

However, Gu Hai and Su Zi's attention was finally attracted by Jiang Xingque, she didn't seem to notice what was happening, but stood in place as if she was thinking about something.

Jiang Xingque's hair is lonely and wears a butterfly hairpin with rough workmanship, not to mention compared with Xia Huairuo's hairband embedded with an exaggerated aquamarine, even Ye Wanchi, who also only wears a ginkgo hairpin, looks much better than her.

The circle of shadows under the eyes and the somewhat reddened tails of the eyes all revealed that the girl in front of her was obviously in poor spirits, Gu Hai didn't dare to speculate, so he only stretched out his hand in front of Jiang Xingque and waved: "Senior sister, senior sister?"

She came back to her senses as if she had suddenly woken up, looked around at the four people around her who were looking at her worriedly, and covered up her embarrassment: "Ah, what did you just say, I got up too early today, and I was a little distracted." ”

Xia Huairuo looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak. Instead, Ye Wanchi held Jiang Xingque's hand, leaned over her ear, and said softly: "Let's go eat first, you must be hungry." ”

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Gu Hai asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister Jiang, what's wrong?"

Xia Huairuo looked behind him to make sure that the two of them would not hear it, so he spoke: "Do you remember the rumors we heard in Qingning Fang that day?"

The young man completely lost his previous nervousness and stiffness at this moment, he nodded sharply, looked at Xia Huairuo curiously, and motioned for the other party to continue.

She had always been concerned about that, so when she returned to Kunlun, she went to Marsh Lake. It was fine before I went, but when I came back, it was like losing my soul, and I asked Chi Chi if she had heard any rumors and she didn't answer, but just sat alone in the courtyard all night. Xia Huairuo said and looked back a few times, the girl who looked a little petite was sitting at a dining table in despair, except for Ye Wanchi, no one stepped forward.

Su Zi said with some puzzlement: "But if it's just like this, it won't be like this after so many days, right?"

"Of course, I'm not done yet. She glanced at Su Zi, motioned for the other party to listen to her quietly, and then lifted her sleeves and looked at the quartz watch on her wrist, there was not much time left, so she approached the two teenagers and spoke quickly.

"To put it simply, it's because I'm in a bad mood, so I played abnormally in the later games, although I didn't lose, but I made a lot of mistakes, if I didn't return Jiang Xingge to catch her, I'm afraid I might not be able to win that round. Xia Huairuo paused for a few seconds when he said this, took a breath, and continued.

"If it was usual, it would be just a sentence of training by Jiang Xingge's wood, but I don't know what happened that day, Que Que's uncle, Jiang Yuzhi, the elder of the Jiang family, was also watching the game. That round had just ended, and before Que Que and Jiang Xingge could get off the field, he stepped forward and ordered Que Que to take off the jade pendant on the sword. ”

Hearing this, Su Zi suddenly showed a look of disbelief, he looked in the direction of Jiang Xingque, and sure enough, the saber on the table seemed to be missing something, and it turned out that it had been taken a jade pendant.

Gu Hai looked at the two of them puzzled, and couldn't wait to ask: "What will happen if you take off the jade pendant?" ”

This time, without waiting for Xia Huairuo to speak, Su Zi replied: "The spirit sword in the family is usually passed down from generation to generation, and the new master will represent his jade pendant on the sword spike, which is equivalent to indicating that he is the sword master." And usually the only people who can be given a sword are the young masters of each family, that is, the future heads of families or elders. ”

After some explanation, even Gu Hai couldn't help but worry about Jiang Xingque: "You mean to say that if the jade pendant is removed, Senior Sister Jiang will no longer be the young master of the Jiang family, but isn't she the only heir of the family?"

"Are you stupid or not, they can throw away Yan Yin's predecessors who have been cultivated as a young master since childhood, let alone Que Que. Saying that, Xia Huairuo felt that he had lost his words, stretched out his hand and patted his mouth a few times, and then got up and prepared to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she turned around again, pretending to be vicious and said to the two junior disciples: "Although I have accepted the jade pendant, Elder Jiang has not spoken yet, so you must not talk nonsense." ”

Gu Hai and Su Zi watched Xia Huairuo walk in the direction of Jiang Xingque and Ye Wanchi step by step, the sword spike behind her shook slightly, brushing her shoulders one by one.

Their gaze uncontrollably moved towards the frost, and the sword head that had originally fallen with exquisite white jade and tassels was empty on the table at this time, unexpectedly matching Jiang Xingque's pale and tired face.

"Are you still nervous?" Suzi asked suddenly.

Gu Hai, who was still looking at the dining table in the distance, suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that Xu was swayed by those complicated emotions, and he was much calmer. He hurriedly pulled a few more mouthfuls of food into his mouth, then got up and said, "I'm all right, let's go." ”

The two teenagers picked up the saber with their names engraved on the table, and finally glanced in the direction of Jiang Xingque. Outside the house, there was a howling mountain wind, and the moment they pushed the door open, they were squinted by the strong wind, and after a few seconds of slowing down, they broke headlong into the wind and snow that covered the sky.

Gu Hai looked at the pure white world in front of him, and inexplicably remembered the girl who jumped down the steps in front of the pear forest when she first arrived in Kunlun. She smiled and shouted Jiang Xingge's name, her eyebrows were full of smiles, and her white dress was stirring in the wind, as if she was the most chic and free person in heaven and earth.

"Suzi, what kind of person do you say Bai Chuan is?" the young man who was asked did not answer, he just continued to walk forward with his head down.

For some reason, what flashed in my mind was not the pictures of how Bai Chuan was heinous and how he slaughtered the Yan clan, but the young man standing in the wind in the story of Yan Bei, shrouded in snow and moonlight.
