Chapter 25: Luck
A long time, or that white-bearded old man was the first to react, body flashes will leap onto the ring, came to the body of Chu Yuhong, carefully check some, but found that his whole body is intact, there is no sign of poisoning, but it seems to be by the immortal magic treasure hit, internal organs violent vibration.
He frowned, stood up and looked at Zhang Xiaofan, he could not help but be impressed by this teenager, his eyes incidentally also glanced at the black burning stick that Zhang Xiaofan was holding tightly in his hand.
"You win." The white-bearded old man suppressed the doubts in his own mind and calmly said.
The Chaoyang Peak disciples under the stage were in an uproar, but with the facts in front of them, there was nothing to say, it was just that Chu Yuhong's defeat was too inexplicable and unthinkable, obviously the victory roll was in the bag, and then all of a sudden with a loud roar, he lost, which was too much for people to accept.
At this time, Zeng Shushu also looked dumbfounded, but when he heard the old man with the white beard say those three words, he rushed up as well, ran to Zhang Xiaofan's side, heavily patted his shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Good boy, it turns out that you're deep in hiding!"
Zhang Xiaofan turned back with a huff, his face as frosty as frost, staring at him coldly.
That pair of icy but black eyes!
Zeng Shushu suddenly felt a chill in his heart and said in surprise, "Xiaofan, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaofan's body shook at his question, seemingly remembering something, his gaze instantly softened, and the strange icy feeling in his eyes disappeared, returning to his usual feeling, seemingly with some confusion, saying, "No, nothing! I'm fine! What's wrong?"
Zeng Shushu glared, "You're still asking me what's wrong, why don't you ask me, don't you know that you won this one yourself?"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled and surprised, "What, did I win? I actually won?"
Zeng Shushu, however, was even more shocked by him, his face went white for a moment, and he hastily reached out his hand to measure his forehead, saying, "Bitter too, you couldn't have been confused by that firelight just now, right?"
Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head, and then saw a few Chaoyang Peak disciples on the distant stage carrying the unconscious Chu Yuhong down, and a few of them were still looking at themselves with hatred.
Looking at those people walking farther and farther away, Zhang Xiaofan's mind, the scene of the fight just now surfaced clearly scene by scene. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the black burning stick in his hand.
The unsightly short stick was quietly in his hand, motionless, but in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, the burning stick that had accompanied him for two years had never been so unfamiliar, as if he had returned to that secluded valley many years ago, recreating that horrible nightmare.
"Pah", but it was Zeng Shushu who looked at Zhang Xiaofan in a daze and knocked his head with the fan in his hand, saying, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, sighed, received the burning stick in his arms, said, "Nothing, let's go. By the way, why did you come to watch me compete?"
Zeng Shushu glanced at the fire stick in his arms and said, "The competition hasn't started yet, I have nothing to do so I ran over to watch you compete, I didn't expect to actually see a good show, hehe, today your three-eyed spirit monkey, what do you call it..."
Zhang Xiaofan interface: "Little gray."
Zeng Shushu said, "Yes, little gray, how come I didn't see little gray today?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I didn't see it early in the morning, probably with Big Yellow and slipped to where to play."
Zeng Shushu let out a cry of "Oops", his face full of regret, Zhang Xiaofan looked at him and couldn't help but guess that this guy said he came over to watch his competition, but in fact, he wouldn't just want to come to see Little Grey, would he?
"Wow!"
In the distance, there was suddenly a great clamor, the two of them were far away and could really hear it, and when they raised their eyes to look, they only saw that in the center of the distance, the disciples of the Qing Yun Sect surrounded the bottom of the "Qian" stage, and the sound of amazement was rising and falling.
Zhang Xiaofan has not yet reacted, Zeng Shushu has already dropped his feet and shouted: "Oh no, oh no, I only focus on looking at you, but I forgot the most important thing." He said, pulling Zhang Xiaofan and running away.
Zhang Xiaofan was unsure and asked while running, "What is it?"
Zeng Shushu looked remorseful and said, "There is Lu Xueqi competing there!"
Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but smile, but at the same time his heart couldn't help but also be touched by a trace of emotion, lifting his eyes towards this friend that he had only known for a short two days, just now under that cold and clear ring, he couldn't see his fellow elders, all his senior brothers, but only this person was standing on his side alone under the stage full of Chaoyang Peak's disciples.
A wave of warmth slowly flooded from his heart.
"Master Zeng... Shushu, thank you for coming over to see me just now."
Zeng Shushu, who was darting around, froze for a moment, slowed down, looked back at Zhang Xiaofan, and then laughed, "Oh, small matter, small matter, if you're too touched why don't you just take Little Grey..."
"We'd better get going!"
Zeng Shushu sidestepped his body, shook his head, and ran after Zhang Xiaofan who was running as fast as the wind, and mumbled two sentences vaguely in his mouth.
※※※
The two of them ran close to each other, but they saw that a group of Green Cloud disciples had already dispersed, and most of them looked quite agitated, arguing fiercely with each other about something. They raised their heads and looked towards the stage, only to see that the stage was empty, but the wooden platform was scarred, so it seemed that the competition had already ended.
With a twinkle in his eye, Zeng Shushu pulled Zhang Xiaofan left and right, weaving in and out of the crowd, and within moments, he found his target - the group of Wind Return Peak disciples.
Zeng Shushu hurriedly leaned up, those Wind Return Peak disciples laughed out when they saw that it was him, among them, Zhang Xiaofan still had some impression of a tall man laughed: ''Senior brother, didn't you say that you must see Lu Xueqi? How come you ran away without a trace?"
Zeng Shushu coughed dryly and said, "I'm not, uh, not something! Right, quickly tell us how did it turn out?"
Next to him, a man with thick eyebrows said, "I don't need to tell you, with Tianya in the room, even Longmen Tongtian Peak's Senior Brother Duan Lei was no match for him!"
Zeng Shushu was surprised, "Even Senior Brother Duan lost to her?"
Zhang Xiaofan said to Zeng Shushu from the side, "Is that Senior Brother Duan Lei very powerful?"
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Yes, Duan Lei is a very outstanding character in the Long Sect in recent years, and the call for him to win the Seven Veins Martial Arts this time is also very high."
That tall man shook his head and said, "What's the use of that, you didn't see it, the Tianya divine Sword was just too powerful, the blue light flashed a few times, rang a few times, and Senior Brother Duan Lei was defeated." Speaking here, he seemed to be unfulfilled, sighed, and said, "Saying that you don't believe it either, at the end of the day, Lu Xueqi still didn't draw the Tianya divine sword out of its scabbard."
Zeng Shushu was dumbfounded for a moment and said, "Then what's the point of the competition, who else is her opponent?"
Tall man shook his head and said: "That's not quite true, Tianya this kind of god thing, is not pull out the scabbard power is almost the same, on the contrary, that Lu Xueqi a cultivation of the road, but it is really not good."
Zeng Shushu glanced at him and said, "Tall senior brother, how do you know?"
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at that tall man and thought in his heart, this surname is true to its name, only to hear that senior brother Gao say, "I also heard it from my master."
Zeng Shushu was surprised: "My father?"
Gao senior brother said: "Yes, just now when you did not come, the master is also here to see, at the end of the mouth recited a sentence, said that this woman is afraid that the Taiji Xuanqing Dao has been cultivated to the Jade Clear realm of more than eight layers, or even to the ninth layer is not known."
Zeng Shushu changed color, froze in place, unable to speak for a moment, Zhang Xiaofan heart strange, only feel that this Zeng Shushu obviously from the beginning of the meeting claimed that he did not care about the results of the competition, but how to look at it are very concerned.
At this time in the distance, the sound of bells and tripods came, headed by senior brother Gao Feng Hui Feng crowd seems to have someone competition, have to go to the sound of the place, Zhang Xiaofan see Zeng Shushu is still frozen in place, went over to pull him a bit.
Zeng Shushu awoke with a start, then laughed, "It's over, it's over, now we're completely hopeless."
Zhang Xiaofan was really full of concern, saying, "If it's over, it's over, right, haven't you not competed yet?"
Zeng Shushu glanced at the distance and said, "I haven't started yet! But it's time to go over, what about you! Where are you planning to go?"
Zhang Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go over and report to Master and Auntie, even though I won by a fluke."
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Then come over and find me when you are free!"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded in response, and the two of them parted ways.
※※※
Zhang Xiaofan turned around and walked towards the other end of the crowd, listening to most of the Green Cloud disciples walking by his side talking about the battle between Lu Xueqi and Duan Lei just now.
Looking for half a day, Zhang Xiaofan finally in the west to find the big bamboo peak people, but far away will look at the Tian not easy to see the face of anger, the face of iron, Zhang Xiaofan has always been very afraid of Tian not easy to come, at the moment sneak over, Tian not easy to look at him, will turn away the eyes, even ask him the results also do not ask a little.
Su Ru and Tian Ling'er and a few other Great Bamboo Peak disciples were all here, and only Eldest Brother Song Daren was missing. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the crowd and saw that Tian Ling'er was fine, but the faces of the senior brothers were filled with frustration, so he quietly asked Du Bishu beside him, "Sixth senior brother, what's wrong?"
Du Bishu glanced at Tian Yiqiu, and seeing that he didn't seem to be looking here, he quietly said, "Just now, except for Eldest Senior Brother, we all had a competition, and it turned out that only the youngest Senior Sister won, and Master is getting angry!"
Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Su Ru stood aside, seeing the disciples trembling with fear, Tian Yi's face was not easy to see, shook his head and sighed, warmly said to Zhang Xiaofan who had just come back, "Xiaofan, you're back, what's the result?"
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Senior Mother, I, I won by a fluke."
Su Ru: "Oh, it's okay, if you lose, you lose, just as a glimpse..." Her voice suddenly dropped, looked at Zhang Xiaofan, and said in surprise: "What did you just say?"
Everyone, including Tian Yi, looked back at Zhang Xiaofan at the same time, Zhang Xiaofan's face flushed, but for the first time in his life, under the gazes of the crowd, especially in the astonished gaze of Tian Ling'er by Su Ru's side, felt a trace of vanity and excitement, slightly raising his voice, he looked toward Tian Yi, said, "Master, Mother, I just, by a fluke, won. "
The crowd clamored.
※※※
Big Bamboo Peak crowd gathered under the "Kun" stage, watching today's last appearance of Song Da Ren competition. On the stage, Song Daren and his opponent were in the middle of a fierce fight, "Ten Tigers" Immortal Sword's huge sword body in mid-air as if it had transformed into countless ferocious tigers, emitting a loud sound of the earth shaking the mountains, sword after sword to the opponent straight slashed over, dominating the advantage.
However, offstage, while the crowd of the Great Bamboo Peak was happy, they still could not accept the truth of what Zhang Xiaofan had said.
"Junior Brother, are you saying that in the match just now, you were about to lose, but unexpectedly, that guy named Chu Yuhong from the other side suddenly had an acute illness and fainted after bleeding all over his face?"
"Yes! Fourth Senior Brother, you and Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, and Fifth Senior Brother have asked me twenty-two times, why are you still asking? Sixth Senior Brother, please persuade them! I'm really telling the truth."
Du Bishu: "⋯ junior brother, are you saying that in the competition just now, you were about to lose, but unexpectedly the other guy, Chu Yuhong, suddenly had a medical emergency and fainted after bleeding all over his face?"
Zhang Xiaofan held his head and groaned, "⋯... yeah! Twenty-third time."
Tian Ling'er on the side snapped, "Why are you guys pushing him so hard, Xiaofan won't lie." When she said this, she shook her head and said, "But Xiaofan, isn't it a bit excessive for you to be so lucky! It's no wonder people don't believe you."
Zhang Xiaofan was speechless.
While listening to the crowd of disciples chattering behind him, Tian Yiqiu and Su Ru still kept looking at the stage. After a moment, Su Ru suddenly whispered, "What do you think?"
Tian Yanyan frowned and said in return, "Saying that he won with his skills, do you believe it?"
Su Ru laughed and said, "This disciple of ours ah! Luck really isn't ordinary!"
Tian Yiqiu hummed.
"Rumble" a loud bang, the stage Song Daren roared, only to see the ten tiger immortal sword yellow mango through the sky, almost reflecting people can not open their eyes, such as splitting mountains and chopping the sea with invincible momentum to kill the past, the opponent finally can not withstand, by the huge power of the collapse, the mouth sprayed blood to fly backward.
The crowd of the Great Bamboo Peak roared with joy, and Tian Yiqi's face finally revealed a trace of a smile.
Song Daren stepped down from the ring and returned to the crowd, first greeting Tian Yuxi and Su Ru, then it was the crowd's enthusiastic congratulations.
"Hehe, fluke fluke! Sixth Senior Brother, you shouldn't talk so meaty! Hehe, youngest senior brother you also came back, how was the result today, didn't hurt anywhere! Alas! Look at you, listen to the words of the eldest brother, you cultivation days shallow, there are opportunities in the future, a win or loss do not take it to heart... Uh, why are you all looking at me like this?"
Tian YanYi was the first to turn around and walk away, Su Ru smiled at the eldest disciple and followed, Song Da Ren was puzzled and asked the crowd, "What's wrong?"
Tian Ling'er walked up to him and told him, Song Da Ren turned his head incredulously, Zhang Xiaofan shrank in fear and said, "Elder brother, I know it's not a good thing for me to have too much luck, but it's just the way it is, and there's nothing I can do about it..."
Song Daren's eyes widened, "Junior Brother, are you saying that in the competition just now, you were about to lose, but unexpectedly, that guy named Chu Yuhong on the other side suddenly developed an acute illness and fainted after bleeding all over his face?"
Zhang Xiaofan fell in despair.
※※※
This day down, the Qingyun door seven veins will martial arts still participate in the competition only sixteen people, out of the expectation of many people, is always weak big bamboo peak actually accounted for three of them, far more than in previous years.
Regardless of how the internal, but Tian not easy to the external face is a great light, this day face is smiling, look in the eyes of the disciples, private discussion.
Du Bishu: "You guys see how happy the master is, this is a raised eyebrow."
Wu Dayi: "Who says otherwise! Eldest brother and youngest sister have indeed given his old man a long face."
He Da Zhi: "It's a shame to say that although the youngest sister is young, she is much more competitive than me, the fourth senior brother, and her future is unlimited in the future!"
Zheng Dali: "You guys don't forget that there's still youngest senior brother! He made it into the third round as well."
Du Bishu: "Why don't we start the betting again to see how likely it is that Junior Brother will make it to another round, do you guys dare to place your bets?"
Wu Dayi, He Dazhi, Zheng Dali, and Lu Daxin: "I bet on him losing! Double!"
Du Bishu: "⋯ cough cough, hehe, how come the big senior brother disappeared while walking, ah! Little Brother? Little Sister? What's going on? Where did everyone go?"
He Dazhi thought for a moment, said: "I do not know the little brother and sister, but I guessed a few points of the big brother may..."
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "Little Bamboo Peak Sister Wen Min!"
※※※
Song Daren, the oldest one, but his body suddenly and inexplicably trembled a little, Wen Min see in the eyes, greatly strange, said: "What's wrong with you?"
Song Daren frowned, said: "I do not know, body suddenly cold."
Wen Min glanced at him and snapped, "You can't be a thief!"
Song Daren immediately shook his head like a rattlesnake drum, saying repeatedly, "There's no such thing, there's no such thing!"
Wen Min's face slowed down, but he still grunted and said, "Then what are you doing sneaking into my Little Bamboo Peak female disciple's room all by yourself?"
A burst of laughter came from the side, Song Daren awkwardly looked around, at this time, the competition was over, most of the female disciples of Little Bamboo Peak had returned, all of them smiling and looking at him with interest. Song Daren blushed slightly, digressing, said: "Oh,⋯⋯ How come I didn't see my little sister ah?"
Wen Min smiled and said, "Your little sister is naturally beautiful and lively, and has long been asked out."
Song Da Ren was taken aback and said in surprise, "What, asked out by whom?"
Wen Min shook his head, but said, "If you see your senior sister Ling'er, you'd better advise her to be more careful tomorrow!"
Song Daren talked about Tian Ling'er, then it was not as awkward as being alone with Wen Min, and his words flowed a bit more, frowning, "I know that Junior Sister is going to compete with your Little Bamboo Peak's Lu Xueqi Lu tomorrow, our two lineage masters have always been good friends, so it shouldn't be anything, besides, the Seven Lineage Meeting Martial Arts is nothing more than a competition to compare and cut up the competition."
Wen Min glanced at him and faintly said, "Your master's mother, Master Su, is naturally very good with my master, but my master looks at your master as being greatly displeased, and is only afraid that he is still blaming your master for abducting our Master Su to this day!"
Song Daren choked and was about to say something, but he saw Wen Min glancing at the surrounding female disciples of Little Bamboo Peak again, only to see that all the women had quieted down and looked at this place.
Song Daren was surprised, "What's wrong?"
Wen Min looked at him and seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Lu is different from us, she is a bit eccentric in nature, but Master favors her greatly. After we get into the ring, everything will be hard to say."
Song Daren's face changed, saying, "What?"
Wen Min closed his mouth and didn't say any more.
