These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"You didn't disappoint your senior sister, did you?"

Jiang Ying nodded, then shook her head.

"I have always believed in you."

"As expected, if my senior sister hadn't been there, I definitely wouldn't have been able to beat this guy. Without her support, I'm just a weak little boy."

"Pfft..."

These clumsy jokes and sweet talk somehow managed to make this extremely innocent girl smile.

Mu Xitong, who was standing to the side, interrupted irritably.

"You two, take a break. Are you still going on and on after you've finished fighting? Shall we leave now, or what?"

Wei Tu thought for a moment, then turned around and saw Yuan Jiacao and the others who were already preparing.

Obviously, playing at home brings a lot of encouragement, and naturally... a lot of pressure as well.

"Let's watch this one. I have a feeling it will be very exciting."

Lin Ruoyin couldn't stand it anymore.

"Do you need to predict? The duel between Qin Zipei and Yuan Jiacao from Xunxian Palace is the highlight of this event... Stay and watch, it's never wrong to know yourself and your enemy."

So the five people left their original seats and returned to the crowd, watching as the representatives from both sides entered their respective positions to prepare for battle.

Yuan Jiacao's side was simple: Luo Kang and another young man who was probably being selected for the team for the first time. He seemed very excited, while Yuan Jiacao was unusually calm. It was hard to tell whether it was due to rare nervousness or because she shouldn't have any expression at all.

Nothing has changed at the Immortal Seeking Palace either.

A blind man led three young men slowly into the seats for preparation.

Qin Zipei remained the same, supporting Hongli and Qingli's shoulders and speaking softly and gently.

The two boys just kept nodding.

The referee in the middle received the order of play from both sides.

The first player to compete was also expected by many.

On Lu Chenzong's side, the youngest-looking boy still led the charge, a tactic they always used, with the intensity increasing gradually.

While it's understandable for the weaker side to lose, the basic objective is to prevent the opponent from winning easily, and at least to exhaust their energy.

The Immortal Seeking Palace is unlike any other sect.

Although it seems like there are three of them going to perform, in reality, only Qin Zipei has performed so far from the first day.

Qin Zipei always took the lead and won from start to finish.

This is what makes them so different from other sects; they reveal their trump cards and strength from the very beginning, putting them out in front of everyone.

But they ended up like this, playing against three people every time, all by themselves.

This has led many people to have different opinions about the Immortal Seeking Palace.

Lin Ruoyin pondered, "The matchup hasn't changed this time... Qin Zipei was able to fight three matches in a row before because the strength of the other sects was not a match... But this is the Lu Chen Sect. Their foundation is not comparable to other sects. Even if they can't win the first match, or the second match, does Qin Zipei really have a chance to compete with Yuan Jiacao, who will be full of energy by then? I'm afraid he won't even have the strength to hold a sword."

Qiao Zhiheng also deeply agreed.

"I also think... To be honest, while this young man named Qin Zipei's desire to protect his fellow disciples is commendable, it's a bit too much. In this world, there will always be opportunities to step up and fight. Can he protect them for the rest of his life? If he's protected like this for the rest of his life, then what's the point of cultivating immortality?"

Clearly, many people do not understand Qin Zipei's actions.

In fact, Wei Tu didn't know her very well either, since Qin Zipei's behavior seemed too autocratic, despite her gentle demeanor and her constant presence in crowds.

But his temperament was like that of a lone wolf, living among his pack yet still keeping his secrets, his purpose, and his resolve.

He's on the field now.

The first young man to step up against Lu Chenzong.

He remained calm as always, and grasped the sword with his right hand.

Then he raised his head.

"bring it on."

Wei Tu understood what was going on.

He thought about it.

"Everyone has things to do, tasks they feel they must complete. Maybe... this is what he considers his task. Just watch."

So Qin Zipei made a move.

The moment everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The gentle temperament that Qin Zipei possessed seemed to have vanished completely; he was like a knife.

It plunged into the cold, snowy wind.

He tore a hole in the raging blizzard.

The boy opposite him, who seemed to have been prepared and had drawn his sword in advance, was like a thin wooden board in front of a sharp blade.

"boom!!"

Sword energy poured forth, sending pebbles flying.

Blood-red hues filled the air.

The wooden planks were easily destroyed by the sharp blade.

Qin Zipei appeared where her opponent had been standing, while the boy was sent flying off the stage, his longsword shattering. PS: My dad's foot has been hurting from gout for the past few days, but his blood sugar and other health issues are normal, and he's taking his medication on time. However, he can't get out of bed today, so I might have to take him to the hospital for a check-up. It might take all day, and I won't be able to get back to write the second chapter until this afternoon. I hope everyone understands. If I get back early, I'll finish writing it immediately.

100 I'm sorry, I have to win.

"..."

The scene was completely silent.

There was almost complete silence.

It seemed that everyone expected Qin Zipei to win the first match, but no one expected the young man to win so quickly and decisively.

There was even a moment of silence before professionals rushed up to help treat the other boy's injuries.

"Although it looks neat and efficient, the cost is not small... This scene is too frightening."

Mu Xitong seemed to understand the current situation and said this.

Wei Tu could also see clearly that Qin Zipei had seemingly ended the battle very quickly, with only one strike.

The problem is that Qin Zipei mobilized almost all of his Dragon Slayer Realm strength in that instant to achieve such an overwhelming effect.

So the prepared boy never expected that his opponent's first move would be a real, hard attack... and so powerful.

It was to be expected that it would be destroyed so quickly.

Qin Zipei silently sheathed her sword and returned to her original position, when it was Lu Chenzong's turn to send out the second person.

Yuan Jiacao reached out and grabbed Luo Kang's arm beside her.

"Senior Brother Yuan?"

Luo Kang looked at Yuan Jiacao with suspicion.

Yuan Jiacao looked at Luo Kang with a serious expression.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that he seemed to go all out in his first attack; he's definitely not going all out. He still has room to maneuver. Don't let your guard down. Try your best to maneuver, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your safety is the most important thing, understand?"

Luo Kang was surprised that his senior brother would say something so caring at this time.

But he knew now was not the time to talk about these things.

He nodded.

"I see."

Luo Kang walked up and took a deep breath.

Actually, before this trial began, everyone had a fairly good idea of ​​what was going on. It was quite simple: it seemed that everything they were doing was for this young man named Yuan Jiacao.

To pave the way for his debut, everyone can call him a pawn.

After all, this young man named Yuan Jiacao is still the most dazzling young man in Lu Chenzong.

He is a valuable asset that Lu Chenzong needs to cultivate. If he can successfully make a name for himself and showcase his talent, then Lu Chenzong's future resources will still be considerable. If he can make a name for himself, then perhaps the entire Lu Chenzong will benefit from his existence.

This matter is undeniably important.

But... who wouldn't want to be the protagonist?

Life is your own. No matter how brilliant others are, you are just a background figure in their lives, or more likely, an insignificant character passing by.

Everyone wants to shine in their own moment.

He hoped so, but he also knew it would be difficult, because not everyone starts out with the script of a protagonist.

Although talent may seem predetermined, it doesn't matter; the sword is still in my own hand.

The initiative is still there, right?

Luo Kang took a deep breath.

Qin Zipei across from him looked over and nodded slightly.

Luo Kang understood that this was a hint from the other party, a final act of fairness, and that he was telling himself that he was about to take action.

"Whoo~"

It was as if a gust of wind had stirred up the scene, and it even seemed as if Qin Zipei's figure in the distance had not completely disappeared.

But the next moment, the wind was no longer gentle; it slammed into him as if it were a wall.

Luo Kang was prepared. He held his breath and did not choose to foolishly hold his sword and try to defend himself like his fellow disciples had done before.

Sometimes you have to acknowledge the gap in ability and use your brain.

He shifted his body, avoiding the direction the other was facing at an extremely fast speed.

"boom!"
