Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Many people in the audience had already stood up, staring with wide eyes, wanting to see clearly how the talisman sword was drawn. Unfortunately, the talisman sword was completely burned to ashes after being used once.

Jiang Li stood there silently, holding the two swords tightly in his hands.

"I still have 30% of my spiritual energy." Jiang Huanyang's face did not show much frustration. He still raised his head proudly, with the tip of his sword pointing at Jiang Li in front of him.

Because he saw very clearly that Jiang Li's spiritual energy and physical strength were almost exhausted.

"I know."

Jiang Li's face was a little pale. After all, his cultivation was still too low. His eyes suddenly fell on Mu Xuezhi on the stands.

Mu Xuezhi also looked back at him, not understanding why he was looking at her at this moment.

Jiang Li's sword power is different from Mu Xuezhi's, but the aura emanating from him at this moment is completely identical to Mu Xuezhi's sword power.

The breath was hollow and desolate, as if the man holding the sword had cut off all emotions and thoughts, and his sword no longer had any feelings, so the sword became extremely pure. In front of Jiang Huanyang's astonished gaze, he swung out the first sword.

The sword energy condensed into a hazy light and shadow, and the faint sword light attacked Jiang Huanyang. Jiang Huanyang raised his sword to block with sword intent, but was forced to retreat more than ten steps. In the end, the hazy sword light left a very shallow mark on his chest, just cutting his clothes, but it could not move forward any further.

Jiang Huanyang lowered his head and looked at his torn clothes. There were some ink-colored lines on his skin under the clothes. At this moment, all those lines lit up and began to absorb endless spiritual energy. Finally, all the spiritual energy fell on the spiritual sword in his right hand.

"Let the sword decide the outcome," he said.

But at this moment, there was a hint of compassion in Jiang Li's eyes. Jiang Huanyang didn't know where this compassion came from. His eyes seemed to be pitying himself, but there was no mockery in them.

"You are too weak."

Jiang Li sighed softly and glanced at Jiang Chuyue in the audience from the corner of his eye. Perhaps she didn't know who to cheer for at the moment, so she just watched seriously. The hair on her cheeks was messed up by the wind, but her eyes were bright.

He unleashed the sword that belonged to him.

Jiang Huanyang also raised his hand and drew his sword, but as soon as the sword lights of the two touched each other, the sword that Jiang Huanyang had been brewing for a long time instantly melted away. Jiang Li was not interested in the principle of his sword or how it was cultivated.

To this day, he has never seen anyone with more powerful sword skills than him.

Jiang Li's sword finally stopped in front of Jiang Huanyang and did not fall.

Jiang Huanyang was unable to come back to his senses for a long time, until the raindrops fell on his cheeks. His eyes gradually cleared from the confusion, and he lowered his head in conviction.

"I lost."

He looked at Jiang Li in front of him and said, "No wonder you are so confident."

"Good luck." Jiang Li responded softly, raised his hand, and the sword energy he had condensed dissipated.

He was indeed lucky. He was lucky to be found by a cultivator, otherwise he would have died of starvation. He was also lucky to have a good talent, so he was able to comprehend the sword skills, carve talismans, and draw formation plates. Although he was unlucky enough to be possessed by the Dark Moon Immortal, if it were not for the existence of the Dark Moon Immortal, he would have been in danger of his life several times in the secret realm at the foot of the mountain. He was also lucky to have a decent system. Although it had no sense of existence, it still helped him a lot.

He never felt how hard he worked, he was simply lucky, so there was nothing to be proud of, so he was indifferent to the cheers from the audience. If they had their own luck, perhaps they would do better.

Jiang Huanyang walked down from the stage. Jiang Li looked down at the audience and asked calmly.

"Anyone else want to challenge me?"

The disciples in the audience were silent.

The three competitions ended so quickly that they had not yet come to their senses. Ye Guixu lost because of the talisman paper, Ye Linglong gave up for unknown reasons, and Jiang Huanyang lost because of the formation and sword power. It seemed that Jiang Li won so easily, it was too light.

There was silence from the audience for a long time, because Jiang Li had already defeated Jiang Huanyang. They naturally knew what was going on and no one would insult this person for no reason. But today's scene was so dramatic that the audience couldn't help but talk about it with relish.

Four years ago, Mu Bingning rejected Jiang Li's request in a humiliating way, but four years later, Jiang Li stood on the stage again. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon become Mu Bingning's Taoist partner.

It’s a pity that Mu Bingning is not here today. Many people are looking forward to what expression will be on her cold face then. Will she still be so cold and pure, without a speck of dust?

Jiang Li asked softly again, "Are there any others who want to challenge me?"

"I come."

Jiang Li suddenly heard a familiar, slightly cold voice. He turned around in surprise and looked at the girl who jumped onto the stage. She was wearing a dark green Taoist robe and a white butterfly headband.

She was holding a sword behind her, biting her lips lightly, with a look of grievance on her face.

It’s Jiang Jinbie.

Chapter 120: Chapter Go to sleep

Jiang Li suddenly felt that the sound of the wind in his ears had disappeared.

It is obvious that Jiang Jinbie should be outside the gate at this moment. She should be practicing sword, or learning a new dance, or maybe she is drinking tea and daydreaming, listening to the sound of rain under the eaves.

But at this moment, she was standing in front of him, the hem of her Taoist robe fluttering gently in the wind, revealing a section of her slender ankles.

Jiang Jin was very tall, only a few centimeters shorter than him. Her dark eyes were staring at him without blinking, full of grievance.

Jiang Li became a little incoherent. He thought for a long time and finally uttered, "Why are you here?"

"I heard from the outer sect that Brother Jiang Li was participating in Mu Bingning's martial arts competition to find a husband, so I came here."

Jiang Li subconsciously thought of a lie. He said, "I want to use the Blazing Fire Spirit Ginseng to nourish Jin Bie's body."

Jiang Jin's eyes were clear, "Is that all?"

"Of course, I have lied to you before."

"Brother sounds so guilty." Jiang Jinbie whispered, "Jinbie has become very powerful. Let Jinbie get the Blazing Fire Spirit Ginseng himself."

Jiang Li was speechless.

He didn't know whether he should raise his sword to meet the enemy. His first thought was no. How could he possibly draw his sword against Jiang Jin? Moreover, his spiritual energy was almost completely exhausted at this moment, and his spirit was also slightly overdrawn.

Jiang Jinbie had a jade token of an outer sect disciple hanging around his waist. Many disciples below the stage were confused when they saw the token, guessing it might be a woman that Jiang Li had hooked up with in the outer sect, who heard that Jiang Li was going to marry Mu Bingning, so she wanted to come up and obstruct him. Many male disciples were gritting their teeth, because Jiang Jinbie who came on stage was so beautiful. How come they had never heard of such a beautiful and charming junior sister in the outer sect?

But when Jiang Jin's other abilities were revealed, everyone fell silent again.

The outer sect disciple Jiang Jinbie, eighteen years old, has reached the first level of minor tribulation.

"When did you survive the minor catastrophe?"

"I achieved a breakthrough a few days ago, but Brother Jiang Li never came to see me. I always wanted to send a message to tell Brother Jiang Li, but I was worried that he would find me annoying." Jiang Jin answered in a low voice.

"how come……"

"So, Brother Jiang Li is going to draw his sword against me?" Jiang Jin didn't look into his eyes.

Jiang Li looked up at Mu Xuezhi on the stands. Mu Xuezhi's expression was silent, but Jiang Li quickly guessed what Mu Xuezhi would do. He smiled bitterly and put the sword into his storage ring.

"Of course not, I give up."

The corners of Jiang Jinbie's lips curled up, she came in front of Jiang Li and spread out her hands.

In full view of everyone, he looked at Jiang Jinbie's open arms and gently held her in his arms. Jiang Jinbie took advantage of his inattention and gave him a kiss on the face.

There was another uproar in the audience.

Jiang Li sighed helplessly in his heart, "Then I'll step down first."

"OK."

Jiang Li released his arms around her and jumped off the sword-fighting arena. He saw Mu Xuezhi on the stage with a faint smile on her lips. He knew that Jiang Jin was going to cry soon.

The one standing on the stage at this moment was Jiang Jinbie. Her aura of having passed the first level of the minor tribulation was clearly evident. Ye Linglong, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Jiang Jinbie on the stage, her eyes gradually brightening up.

Jiang Li came to his seat and sat down. His expression looked calm, but Ye Linglong reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "Who is she?"

"It's my sister."

"Can you introduce me to him?"

"Didn't you see her kiss me just now?" Jiang Li glanced at Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong came back to her senses but still smiled slyly, "What's wrong with introducing me?"

"Get lost." Jiang Li said unhappily. Ye Linglong glared at him and said, "What are you thinking? I just think she's pretty and I want to be friends with her."

"hehe."

Jiang Li sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Ye Linglong crossed her arms and said, "Don't forget to teach me how to draw talismans."

"I remember it." Jiang Li sighed helplessly.

The next martial arts competition to win a bride probably won't have any gimmicks, as no one in the sect can defeat Jiang Jinbie, and Jiang Jinbie just wants the Blazing Fire Spirit Ginseng. When the time comes, Mu Bingning will reward her with the Blazing Fire Spirit Ginseng, and then ask... for Jiang Li to become Mu Bingning's Taoist partner.

Mu Xuezhi would do this, but Jiang Jinbie just didn't expect it. Jiang Li originally wanted to hide it from Jiang Jinbie for three months, but the truth could not be hidden. He had a headache now, but the next second, a flash of ice-blue light appeared in his sight.

The woman in the ice-blue dress stepped onto the sword-fighting arena.

It’s Mu Bingning.

..........................................

"Why are you here?" Jiang Jinbie raised his chin slightly and looked directly at Mu Bingning in front of him.

Mu Bingning was still wearing the same ice-blue palace dress today, but her cultivation aura had also been frozen at the first level of the Minor Tribulation. She looked silently at Jiang Jinbie in front of her, and after a few seconds, she said, "You shouldn't have come."

"The Sect Master said that anyone with a cultivation level above Nascent Soul can come, so why can't I come?"

Mu Bingning shook her head. "Even if you didn't come and he won in the end, he wouldn't want to marry me. But if you come, it will only make him feel upset."

"It was my brother who gave in. He doesn't want to marry you."

"He really doesn't want to marry me." Mu Bingning's voice still lacked any emotion. "But his not wanting to marry me is different from your not wanting him to marry me. That's why you've been with him for so long, and in the end you can only be his sister."

The two women had some connection in the past. Jiang Li once introduced Mu Bingning to Jiang Jinbie, but Jiang Jinbie cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself at that time, and the matter eventually ended in nothing.

Mu Bingning's words tore through Jiang Jin's other defenses. Her hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes. She tried hard to suppress this panic, "I have wanted to fight with you for a long time."

"why?"

"Just think, why so many whys?"

But Mu Bingning shook her head, "No need, I have no desire to fight with you."

"Then what are you doing here?" Jiang Jin's voice was cold.

These two girls have something in common. When they are not talking, they both seem to exude a bit of coldness. But Jiang Jin is especially spoiled by Jiang Li since she was a child, so she becomes particularly sweet in front of Jiang Li.

"I'm here to remind you that the sect master will still announce that he will become my Taoist partner in a while." Mu Bingning's eyelashes drooped slightly.

Jiang Jinbie wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it seriously, she suddenly understood. She gritted her teeth and said, "So what? Brother Jiang Li still won't like you."

"Yes, he will refuse." Mu Bingning's voice was full of self-mockery, "But he can't refuse."

Jiang Jin was speechless for a long time, her eyes turned disgusted, "Are you feeling complacent?"

Mu Bingning shook her head.

"No, I won't let him marry me."

............................................................

Jiang Li was unable to hear what the two women on the stage said. He only saw Jiang Jin's expression change several times. At this moment, the sky had completely darkened. The fluorites were all lit up, and the halos of raindrops under the fluorites were like tiny falling stars.

Mu Xuezhi stood up.

Everyone turned their attention to her; the competition for a bride was over.

"Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming to this martial arts competition to find a bride."

"I think I have chosen a Taoist partner for Bingning. Today, I am very happy to see another disciple in the sect who has passed the minor tribulation."

"I will reward you with a million spirit stones for that Fiery Spirit Ginseng." Mu Xuezhi set her eyes on Jiang Jinbie on the stage. She raised her hand, and the Fiery Spirit Ginseng and the Qiankun bag containing a million spirit stones fell in front of Jiang Jinbie.

Then he turned his attention to Jiang Li in the audience.

"And you, Jiang Li, I will betroth Mu Bingning to you, and from now on..."

Mu Xuezhi hadn't finished her words yet, but Mu Bingning's voice had already reached the ears of everyone in the stands.

"I reject."

Mu Bingning looked at Mu Xuezhi in the stands, her eyes were calm.

Mu Xuezhi turned her head to look at her.

The words "I refuse" seemed particularly harsh and were beyond the expectations of everyone present. Mu Xuezhi's sword power began to get out of control, and the temperature on Zhan Nian Mountain suddenly became very cold. The raindrops in the sky slowly condensed and turned into snowflakes, falling like catkins.

Mu Bingning just looked at Mu Xuezhi quietly.

Mu Xuezhi was also looking at her, but at this moment there was some genuine confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand why Mu Bingning would refuse.

She still remembered the little girl crying in front of her four years ago, telling her that she liked someone, but was eventually scolded by her coldly. She lowered her head and said nothing, as if her soul had been taken away.

Mu Xuezhi didn't know how to raise a child. She just subconsciously wanted to do what she thought was right. She believed that love itself was a lie, and that lie made Mu Bingning, who was always wholeheartedly seeking the truth, become completely different.
