"Hey, hey, hey, when I get back to the Palace of Judgment, I'm definitely going to tell the Palace Master that your newly appointed captain of the Judgment Brigade has homosexual tendencies! I'm sure that'll be big news, hahaha~"

“I suddenly remembered that there seem to be quite a few handsome male cultivators in our trial team. I can introduce you to a few.”

"By the way, Liang Jue, do you prefer to be the top or the bottom?"

Liang Jue: "..."

He was silent for a long time.

Looking at the brown-haired girl with pigtails who was laughing uncontrollably, she said in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry, "Xiaoyu, can you please stop talking for now... Let's deal with this... um... gentleman in front of us first."

"Hahaha, sir... hahaha..."

Xiaoyu's threshold for laughter was lower than Liang Jue had imagined.

He sighed helplessly, slowly composed himself, and then looked at Jiang Yuetian in the distance, who was already holding a spear in his hand, his spiritual energy surging within him.

He could sense that the other party was definitely not someone who could be dealt with easily.

The oppressive aura released abruptly stopped Xiaoyu's laughter. She glanced at Liang Jue, and the two of them simultaneously gripped the blades at their waists.

The light brown round buckle hanging from the scabbard rattled slightly, and the two sharp blades seemed to have been poised to strike, emitting a sharp, soft hum.

"So--"

Liang Jue's voice returned to its emotionless state, as if she were conducting an interrogation.

"May I ask one more time? May I ask your honorable name?"

"Jiang Yuetian".

The young man twirled his spear, creating several flourishes, and the sound of it cutting through the air accompanied his monologue, reaching the ears of Liang Jue and Xiao Yu.

The helmeted man, Liang Jue, lowered his body, gripped the knife hilt tightly with his right hand, and unleashed all his spiritual energy.

"The current captain of the Beibing Palace Trial Team—Liang Jue."

"Luo Xiaoyu, deputy captain of the Arctic Palace Trial Team".

The voice just fell.

The two of them then sped toward Jiang Yuetian, who was not far away.

The blade flashed suddenly from the tip of the scabbard.

"excuse me."

------

It seems like it's been a long time since I last stopped...

A familiar feeling?

126. Jiang Shengxuan is here.

The two men's swordsmanship gave Jiang Yuetian a strange sense of familiarity.

He was 100% certain that he had never had any contact with Liang Jue and Luo Xiaoyu before, but the way they drew their swords and sheathed them made Jiang Yuetian feel involuntarily familiar, and even their footwork gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Perhaps that's why Jiang Yuetian didn't appear particularly disheveled when facing the two attackers. Instead, he strolled around as if in a leisurely garden, letting their blades flash and dart about without being able to harm him in the slightest.

He certainly wouldn't just play defense.

Jiang Yuetian thrust his spear horizontally. His spear technique, which was guided by his inner state, allowed him to seize even the smallest, fleeting opportunities. The sharp spear tip swiftly pierced through the snow-white blade.

Ding!

As the sound of metal clashing rang out, Liang Jue's swift but somewhat naive draw of his sword was deflected by a spear, and at the same time, a force that caught him off guard sent him flying.

"Liang Jue!"

Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise. She never expected that Jiang Yuetian would have the ability to fight two people at once, let alone that Jiang Yuetian could see through their sword techniques so quickly.

It was as if... he already knew it by heart.

Before Luo Xiaoyu could react, Jiang Yuetian's gun arrived.

It was a cold glint, a flash of light. The spear moved with her will, the black spear attacking from an extremely tricky angle like a meteor. Luo Xiaoyu had no way to dodge it and could only try to defend herself by swinging her blade.

Now she finally received the same treatment as Liang Jue—being shot and sent flying.

Coincidentally, after rolling around on the ground for a few weeks, she landed right on Liang Jue, who was just getting up, knocking the helmeted man from the Arctic Palace more than ten meters away.

They finally managed to stop after crashing through several giant trees.

It's worth mentioning that it was Liang Jue's back that violently collided with the thick tree trunk, while Luo Xiaoyu, who was in his arms, was completely unharmed, as her injuries were all absorbed by Liang Jue's spine.

"Cough... Oh my god..." Liang Jue's helmet was tilted a bit. He coughed violently a couple of times and looked at Luo Xiaoyu, who was unharmed in his arms. "Why couldn't you be more accurate? If you were more accurate, you could have given me a precise headshot."

As Luo Xiaoyu climbed out of Liang Jue's arms, she retorted with dissatisfaction, "I was also blasted here; I can't decide where I land!"

"I've already been shot by him, can't you be a little more careful?" Liang Jue silently straightened his helmet.

"How could I possibly react in time!" Luo Xiaoyu puffed out her cheeks, her twin ponytails swaying angrily. "And how could you be so easily defeated? You're disgracing our trial team!"

Liang Jue was taken aback. "Aren't you also on the trial team...?"

Luo Xiaoyu: "...Oh right."

The two exchanged a glance, then both chose to remain silent.

As the captain of the trial team, Liang Jue was naturally not going to be defeated so easily. After checking his body and confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, he slowly climbed out of the huge round pit behind him.

"On another note—"

Looking at Jiang Yuetian, who was carrying a long spear and walking slowly in the distance, Liang Jue took a deep breath.

"Xiaoyu, don't you feel like something's off about him? He seems very familiar with our sword techniques."

"You noticed it too?" Luo Xiaoyu thought she was the only one who had this feeling. "The Judgment Team's swordsmanship shouldn't be that easy to see through... and the Taoist robe he's wearing doesn't look like that of a famous sect."

"Should we go and ask?"

Luo Xiaoyu looked at Liang Jue as if he were an idiot, "Well, people have to be willing to talk about it—who would just reveal their secrets for no reason?"

"That's true—"

Liang Jue pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist again, lowered his body, and assumed a charging stance.

"Let's wait until we deal with him before asking him directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he circulated his spiritual energy and stared intently at Jiang Yuetian directly in front of him.

It was at this moment that Jiang Yuetian, sensing that the other party's hostility had reignited, suddenly called a halt.

"Wait a minute!"

His sudden action startled both Liang Jue and Luo Xiaoyu.

Liang Jue had already prepared his surprise attack, but when he was suddenly stopped, he lost his balance and almost fell face-first into the mud.

After regaining his balance and calming down, he looked at Jiang Yuetian with a puzzled expression, "Sir... what brings you here?"

"I'd like to confirm, you seem to be from the Northern Ice Palace?"

Liang Jue and Luo Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, and then Liang Jue, as the captain of the trial team, nodded solemnly.

Jiang Yuetian's face immediately showed a look of understanding, and then he threw out a certain name.

"In that case, do you know someone named Fan Luokui?"

"team leader?!"

The name Fan Luokui struck Liang Jue and Luo Xiaoyu like a bolt from the blue.

They will never forget Fan Luokui.

Not long ago, before Liang Jue became the captain of the trial team and Luo Xiaoyu was just an elite member of the trial team, Fan Luokui was the captain they had always trusted implicitly.

However, after that, a series of events occurred at the Northern Ice Palace that cannot be explained in a few words, and Fan Luokui left the Northern Ice Palace.

Liang Jue took over her position as captain of the trial team, and Luo Xiaoyu was promoted to the position of vice captain.

The problem is—

"How did you know the captain?!"

Even though he is now the team leader, Liang Jue still hasn't changed how he addresses Fan Luokui.

"Captain, are you talking about Luo Kui?" Jiang Yuetian was slightly taken aback, then understood what Liang Jue meant. "She is now considered my junior sister."

"Junior Sister?!"

Another bolt from the blue struck.

Luo Xiaoyu subconsciously thought of a figure as pure white as snow.

That man with a shameless, roguish smile, always speaking in a vulgar tone, and possessing absolutely no cultivation, yet he could easily catch Fan Luo Kui's lightning-fast blade.

If I remember correctly...

Fan Luokui followed that man—it sounds strange, but it's true.

Liang Jue was stunned for a few seconds, seemingly processing the information from Jiang Yuetian's words, before finally asking involuntarily, "Then... are you perhaps also from the Yuntian Academy?"

Jiang Yuetian made no attempt to hide anything: "That's right."

"I noticed that your sword styles resemble my junior sister Luo Kui, and I also remembered that you seem to be from the Northern Ice Palace, so I asked you about it. I didn't expect that you actually knew junior sister Luo Kui."

"It's more than just knowing each other..."

A bitter smile appeared on Liang Jue's face, hidden beneath his helmet. He and Luo Xiaoyu slowly sheathed their longswords, which had already been drawn from their sheaths, and at the same time, they suppressed the hostility emanating from their surroundings.

Fan Luo Kui's significance to them is absolutely extraordinary. After all, they have worked under Fan Luo Kui for so long and can be considered partners who have gone through thick and thin together. To say that there is no affection between them would be a lie.

But... junior sister...

Looking at Jiang Yuetian's strange and revealing outfit, Liang Jue suddenly remembered that Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue had also dressed in strange ways back then.

So, wearing strange clothes is the standard for Taoist robes at Yuntian Academy...?

He muttered a curse to himself, then bowed slightly to Jiang Yuetian and said, "Since you are a disciple of Yuntian Academy, then we don't need to continue the competition... In a sense, the captain's senior brother is also our senior brother."

"Ah..." Jiang Yuetian was stunned. He wasn't very good at speaking to begin with, and now he had no idea what to say. He could only scratch his head and continue Liang Jue's words, "In that case... I should call you junior brothers and sisters too?"

Liang Jue: Why do I feel like this senior brother seems a bit dull?
