These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu glanced at him. "How many do you think can be considered rivals?"

Dou Qinhu raised his head.

“You count as one, Ji Xiangwan from the Yihua Palace counts as one, and Feng Xueke from the Cangqing Sect counts as one…”

"Where is Qin Ruhui of the Xuanling Sect?"

Wei Tu looked at him, and Dou Qinhu sneered.

"What kind of opponent is he? This kind of person seems to be very cunning, but in reality, he is hesitant and indecisive. His sword is just like his character. He is like that, and his sword is not that great either. To include him in the top six is ​​an overstatement."

"So, what do you want to do next?"

Wei Tu put away the divine tea in his hand, while Jiang Ying stood silently beside the young man, like a beautiful maid who was easily overlooked.

"Want to fight me here?"

Dou Qinhu raised an eyebrow and said this suddenly, as if the boy's performance just now had not frightened him but had aroused his fighting spirit.

Wei Tu smiled as he looked at Dou Qinhu.

"If you want, it's not impossible."

"...You really aren't afraid of anything."

"A person who fears everything cannot move forward, and aren't you the same?"

"Heh... How interesting. It seems you really don't need my help. Alright, I'm leaving now. See you again sometime."

Dou Qinhu simply left with his knife, like a lone swordsman.

Looking at his retreating figure, Wei Tu had to admit it.

"He's an interesting person."

And not far away.

Qin Ruhui, who seemed to have concealed his aura quite well, looked at everything not far away with a deep gaze.

"Cannon fodder is cannon fodder after all, but that's fine, it makes the game more interesting." PS: Only one update today, sorry~~~~ I need to adjust my time difference, I'll definitely get up earlier to update tomorrow!

87. Only we are left.

Aren't we leaving?

When Wei Tu casually sat down on a rock in front of him and waved to him.

Although Jiang Ying obediently walked over, she was clearly somewhat puzzled.

After all, a battle involving eight people had just taken place here not long ago, and the noise alone was enough to attract a lot of onlookers.

Although the boy showed no signs of fatigue, it was undoubtedly not a good thing to be exposed to others and have everything he had just done clearly.

This is at least not in line with the boy's usual cautious approach.

Wei Tu smiled when he heard his senior sister's words.

"It's okay."

"Is it alright?"

"Of course, the real big fish, seeing what just happened, will definitely not think I'm in dire straits, and they won't make a move. As for the small fish, they're even more intimidated and won't think about it for the time being. They can watch if they want, and they might even feel at ease because we've been in their sights the whole time, thinking: 'They're here anyway, so let's not bother with them for now.'"

"Hmm? Is that really what you're thinking?"

Jiang Ying clearly couldn't empathize with him.

She wasn't good at thinking about these things; she just felt that what the other person said made sense.

Wei Tu smiled. "Of course. It's based on strength. If you have the strength to not care about anyone, then you don't need to care what others are doing. Just fight whoever comes along. But unfortunately, these people aren't like that. So... if they're not 100% sure they can defeat me, they'll unconsciously have the idea of ​​retreating and comfort themselves with other reasons. It's only right not to confront me now. It's a rational choice. For example... he's right here anyway, let's leave him for now."

Jiang Ying understood something more this time.

"So we're the ones who are acting with impunity, right?"

“That’s right. Running around will only make them think more. Besides, some people are weird. They don’t like to be provoked by those who sit still. They just like to find those who are willing to hide. Let’s not play tricks on them. Let’s take a break. It’s a way of waiting for them to tire themselves out.”

"it is good."

Anyway, everything he said was right, everything he said made sense, and he was never wrong.

So the girl obediently sat down next to the boy, listening to the rustling sound of the wind passing through the bamboo forest.

I felt very at ease sitting next to him, as if today wasn't a battle at all.

Instead, during their sightseeing trip with the boy, they passed by a bamboo forest. Seeing the beautiful scenery, with the fragrance of the wind and earth, they stopped to enjoy it.

She loved this feeling; no matter how the world changed, as long as she was by his side, she felt no danger.

Everything about him is so comforting, it makes you want to become a lazy cat, wanting only to stay by his side, smell his scent, and rub your cheek against his.

Will my junior brother become number one?

The girl asked softly.

Wei Tu turned his head to look at her.

"Does my senior sister want me to get first place?"

"Yes, of course I hope so. But I also don't want you to get hurt."

"But men don't need to be afraid of getting hurt. Scars are a man's badge of honor. This isn't even a life-or-death struggle. If you're afraid of this, that's quite shameful."

"Hmm, but it will be very tough."

"That's true, but when I think about how supportive my senior sister, Su Su, and Master are, I feel really motivated."

I will always support you.

The girl took Wei Tu's hand, and her warm palm seemed to warm Wei Tu's heart.

Wei Tu now knew why he had to bring Jiang Ying here, rather than any other possible option.

People inevitably experience moments of confusion, unsure of which way to go, or perhaps encountering a powerful enemy blocking their path, leaving them wondering what to do next.

Amidst the turbulent journey of life, Wei Tu cannot truly claim that he will continue to walk this path with such unwavering determination, displaying such brilliance and steadfastness wherever he goes.

Perhaps there really will be a moment like this, when a girl named Jiang Ying doesn't ask too many questions or have any other thoughts, but she will definitely support me no matter which path I take, and she will hold my hand.

Whether he leads her to a garden or a swamp, she will not refuse and will happily accompany him on his journey.

So he looked up at the sky, where the bamboo leaves swayed before his eyes, as if they were about to block out the entire sky.

"Senior sister, do you want your name to be known throughout the world?"

This question seemed a bit strange, and Jiang Ying thought about it for a moment.

Why should the whole world know?

"Well, don't all people have this kind of vanity? They want to be number one, and they want to do their best in everything they do, to become someone others admire, or even to be worshipped by millions of people and regarded as a god."

Jiang Ying shook her head. "I haven't thought about it that way. Besides, it would be troublesome if more people found out, like being targeted or something... I don't think I need to do that."

"Senior sister, what if... I want you to be number one?"

"What first place?"

"How do you feel about getting first place in this trial?"

"Is this some special arrangement, related to your plans?"

Jiang Ying clearly believed that Wei Tu had his reasons for saying that, such as what kind of person she would become to be useful to him...

Wei Tu understood this as well, so the words he was about to say suddenly changed.

"Yes, it's about a very important plan, so if possible, I hope you'll be number one."

"Really? I understand."

Jiang Ying nodded firmly, looking somewhat happy. Wei Tu knew very well that she wasn't happy about being number one, but rather that she seemed satisfied because she could help him and play a key role in his plan.

But dear senior sister, that's not how it is. Please forgive your despicable junior brother for deceiving you this time.

Wei Tu couldn't help but laugh.

It's unclear how long they talked, but the two seemed to have been sitting there for quite some time without doing anything else; they just sat there quietly.

Occasionally, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard coming from deep within the bamboo forest.

Occasionally, you can see elders of the Azure Sect flying around in the sky, which clearly indicates who was injured and who was sent away.

They probably eliminated a few more people.

As expected, the footsteps finally approached. The two people who had been sitting there without any plan were almost seen as public prey in everyone's eyes.

"Young Master Ji, it seems we share the same thoughts."

"Oh. So, who is he? Did you arrange it?"

"I'm just here to join in the fun. In fact, there are only a few of us left, so there's no need to hide anything. If you want to fight together, I'll wait. If you want to fight one-on-one, I can go first."

"And what about you, Dou Qinhu?"

"If I have to choose a side, I'll stand with Wei Tu. If you don't want to form any alliances or anything like that, then I can go first."

"Hehehe."

It wasn't just one person.

Wei Tu looked at the several figures approaching from all directions; they were all men.

It seems that in this matter, we haven't reached the point where yin is dominant and yang is weak... no, we haven't even reached the point where yin and yang are in balance.

Everyone I'd seen before, and everyone I'd barely seen before, all appeared.

The first to speak was naturally Qin Ruhui of the Xuanling Sect, followed by Ji Xiangwan, and then a man holding a very ancient longsword, who was probably Feng Xueke, the most famous and recognized talent in Guang Shenzhou in recent years from the Cangqing Sect.

He wore a straw hat, and the ancient longsword in his hand was connected to his palm by an old-looking strip of cloth, as if in this way the hand and the sword were firmly connected together.

Such behavior is still somewhat strange, after all, it loses many possibilities for variation, and both the sword moves and the sword intent will appear very straightforward.

The last person was Dou Qinhu, who also made it to the very end.

He seemed to have some stains on his body, and his clothes were torn in several places. It didn't affect his overall appearance, but it was still easy to tell that this young swordsman was not having an easy time.
