The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 65.1

If she could successfully deal with Chu Fu this time, she would definitely have to continue living in the Five Dragons Sect for the time being.

Being actively involved in activities and facing life was always good.

And the reward for this competition, one thousand high-grade Spirit Stones… was truly tempting.

Yan Jue thought for a moment: “Alright, let’s go.”

Yan Jue then went with Du Ming to Buzhou Peak and quickly arrived at the Five Dragons Plaza, where the event was being held.

Under the sun, the Five Dragons Plaza was already sparsely filled with people.

On the stone platform not far away, an elder wearing a pale purple Daoist robe stood solemnly. It looked like he was about to announce something, but the time hadn’t arrived yet.

The surroundings were buzzing with noise. Yan Jue almost subconsciously started looking for Qi Xianqing but couldn’t find her after scanning the area; there were simply too many people.

Du Ming read her mind: “Senior Sister should be on the side of the Shocking Fire Sect. We are in the Water Cloud Sect area, so you won’t be able to see her.”

Yan Jue, whose thoughts were suddenly seen through: “…I wasn’t looking for her.”

The two stood in place and chatted for a few moments.

The noisy crowd in the plaza suddenly quieted down.

The Elder: “Disciples who wish to participate in the competition may come up and draw lots.”

In such a vast plaza, the Elder’s voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears, indicating his profound internal energy.

Yan Jue was confused, so she listened as Du Ming explained to her: “This is how it works: this competition is divided into team and individual matches.”

“First are the individual matches, and then the team matches.”

“Individual is a one on one fight on the stage. For the team match, you form your own team and enter the Five Dragons Secret Realm to look for treasures. The team with the most points wins.”

The words “Secret Realm” were suddenly delivered to Yan Jue’s ears. She had just discussed it with Qi Xianqing a few days ago, and she didn’t expect the Five Dragons Summit to also include such a thing as a Secret Realm.

Yan Jue couldn’t help but muse, Does the Five Dragons Sect have its own Secret Realm too?

Du Ming: “The Elder talking about drawing lots now should be for us to choose our opponents for the first round of the individual matches. This is when you need to pray. Don’t be a stepping stone for the masters. Absolutely don’t draw a master in the first round.”

Yan Jue strongly agreed with this point.

She had participated in a Sanda competition in the modern world, and once, she met a grandmaster in the very first round. The experience was simply inexpressible.

As soon as the Elder finished speaking, a large group of people walked towards the stage.

The Shocking Fire Sect had already started drawing lots.

Yan Jue subconsciously looked over and immediately spotted that unmissable figure.

Qi Xianqing was dressed in a white robe, her peach blossom eyes slightly drooped, and she carried the dark black Immortal Sword ‘Candle Shadow’ on her back.

She stood at the front of all the disciples and was the first to step onto the lot-drawing platform.

As soon as Qi Xianqing walked onto the stage, hushed whispers erupted below.

“Senior Sister…”

“Senior Sister, I love you!”

“Senior Sister, win another first place this year!”

“Wuwu, I haven’t seen my goddess for months. She’s become like a fairy.”

Qi Xianqing had no reason not to hear the discussions below, but her face was as calm as still water, without any extra emotion.

Qi Xianqing drew her lot first, then walked down. The other disciples of the Shocking Fire Sect followed suit.

After the Shocking Fire Sect finished drawing, it was the turn of the Golden Steel Sect, the Ethereal Evasion Sect.

The Wood Spirit Sect.

And the Water Cloud Sect…

Yan Jue went onto the stage and saw a huge wooden box in front of her. The lot slips were taken from inside. Yan Jue reached her hand in and felt a rectangular bamboo slip, which she hooked with her fingertip and pulled out.

Just as she was clearly reading the number on the slip, she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if someone was watching her.

Yan Jue turned around and saw Qi Xianqing standing below the stage, looking at her.

A voice suddenly reached her ear: “What’s the number?”

Qi Xianqing was using sound transmission to talk to her.

Yan Jue was momentarily stunned.

Since returning from the Plain Sun Immortal Manor last time, she hadn’t transmitted sound to Qi Xianqing. Qi Xianqing was the one who taught her this transmission technique.

Yan Jue: “Number 26.”

“How is this allocated?” Yan Jue never forgot to ask Qi Xianqing for advice at any time.

Qi Xianqing’s calm voice rubbed past her ear: “There are six hundred spots for contestants. There are three hundred numbers on the slips, and each number has two slips. Drawing the same number means you are in a group.”

“After the first round of elimination, the lots are drawn again. The same numbers form a group again, and so on.”

This way, many people could be eliminated in one round.

Yan Jue: “May I ask what number Senior Sister drew?”

Qi Xianqing: “Seventy-eight.”

Yan Jue nodded slowly: “Senior Sister should apologize to the person who will face you in the first round.”

Qi Xianqing’s brow twitched: “Why?”

Yan Jue: “He became your stepping stone for no reason. How miserable. Shouldn’t you pay him a stepping-stone fee?”

The area was crowded shoulder to shoulder. Qi Xianqing stood in the crowd and slightly curved her eyes.

The surroundings instantly erupted.

“Holy cow, did you see that? Senior Sister smiled at me!”

“Nonsense! She smiled at me!”

“Damn it, did anyone capture that moment?! Dream Sovereign Heng actually smiled! Aaaah, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!”

Yan Jue: “…”

Yan Jue stood in the crowd, also smiling slightly, and whispered: “Senior Sister, my Ten Thousand Swords Technique practice is almost complete…”

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly frowned.

The Five Dragons Summit was approaching, which meant her death date was also near.

She and Qi Xianqing shouldn’t meet in private.

However, Qi Xianqing seemed to know what she was going to say and didn’t wait for her to finish: “I am busy today. How about three days from now?”

It was as if the two were already very familiar.

Yan Jue paused slightly: “Then Senior Sister should go about your business and remember to rest.”

The concern in her tone was genuine.

There wasn’t much reverence, but a very rare, equal tone that cut through the sea of people and was strangely reassuring.

Qi Xianqing paused, but didn’t reply, because Fairy Yun Zhen was already walking towards her with a smile.

The two exchanged a few words and then flew away together.

Yan Jue looked in the direction where Qi Xianqing disappeared, and just as she was about to look for Du Ming, she suddenly heard a deafening sound from nearby: “No way, no way! Everyone, look! This trash is actually going to participate in the competition!”

Yan Jue turned her head and saw a familiar figure standing in the crowd not far away.

Li Hao was wearing the purple red Daoist robe unique to the Golden Steel Sect disciples, looking majestic and radiating immortal qi.

He stood far away, looking at her with malicious intent.

Yan Jue’s eyes darkened.

The people around instantly began whispering, and faint snickers could be heard.

“I heard Yan Jue is a piece of trash who specializes in body refining instead of sword cultivation. Why is she here to join the fun at the Five Dragons Summit?”

“Probably dragged here by her roommate to make up the numbers. After all, the Five Dragons Summit has a team competition, so she’s just filler.”

“How sad… she probably won’t survive the first round.”

“Come on, is the rumor that she took on four people in the class true? Look at her small physique. I’m worried if she fights other martial artists, she’ll be pushed over in an instant.”

“Does any fellow Daoist have a recording orb? I’ll specifically stake out Yan Jue’s match to see the sight of a beauty being crippled by a Senior Brother. But honestly, do you think Yan Jue will suddenly become infatuated with her Senior Brother’s handsomeness when they face off and deliberately hold back? That wouldn’t be fun.”

Hearing the discussions around him, Li Hao couldn’t help but curl his lips.

He stared at Yan Jue and sneered: “How dare trash like you participate in the Five Dragons Summit? You truly overestimate yourself! I’ll teach you a lesson today!”

Li Hao finished speaking and fiercely formed hand seals with both hands, summoning a silver sword into the sky.

The silver sword floated in the air, surrounded by a thick layer of spiritual energy, and a faint sound of electrical current could be heard.

The Immortal Sword “Earl,” a lightning-attribute spiritual sword.

It was a famous sword whose rank was second only to Qi Xianqing’s Immortal Sword ‘Candle Shadow,’ and Li Hao had imprinted it with fifty-six strikes of heavenly thunder, making it the Thunderbolt Earl Sword.

Yan Jue frowned slightly.

This silver sword seemed to be the one she had broken with the North Sea Profound Iron Gold Thread outside the Drunken Spring Tower that one time.

She had bought Li Hao’s broken sword fragments from the Artifact Refining Hall.

She didn’t expect Li Hao to buy the sword back.

The Immortal Sword “Earl” was summoned into the air. When it saw Yan Jue, it seemed to see its long-lost enemy, eagerly preparing for battle in the air.

Li Hao curled his lips and chanted the true incantation, “Thunder Light Flame.” Fierce lightning and thunder intent coiled around the sword body, growing larger and larger.

Everyone’s eyes instantly turned towards this direction, and their gaze towards Yan Jue held a hint of sympathy.

This world was inherently cruel. If you were trash, you had to endure the pain of being bullied.

Yan Jue suddenly said: “Li Hao.”

Li Hao’s pupils constricted.

Yan Jue was wearing a Daoist robe with her dark hair tied up high. Her clear phoenix eyes looked over without blinking, and there was not a trace of panic on her face; instead, she looked very composed.

She completely ignored the giant sword radiating the power of thunder in the sky and slowly walked towards Li Hao.

What’s going on?

Li Hao couldn’t help but be stunned.

Why did he feel an extremely terrifying pressure as this girl walked towards him?

Cold sweat trickled down Li Hao’s forehead. Staring at those clear, amber like eyes, the speed at which he chanted the true mantra slowed down a little.

He was currently at the late stage of Illumination. His mastery of sword techniques was not very good, and he still needed the help of hand seals and verbal incantations to execute his moves.

But he was the eldest son of Elder Li Tian of the Golden Steel Sect, raised from childhood with the influence of immortal techniques.

None of his peers could surpass him.

Li Hao: “Ten Thousand Horses All Silent! The Nine Provinces will flourish”

Before he could finish his sentence, his jaw was violently struck. Accompanied by a dull collision sound, a heartbreaking pain swept over, and Li Hao instantly flew backward.

Yan Jue’s swift strike sent Li Hao tumbling to the ground.

Below the Fusion Realm.

In terms of initiating a move, the speed of martial arts is always faster than sword techniques.

Li Hao fell out, rolled miserably on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The crowd let out a gasp of surprise, and people quickly cleared a path.

Li Hao raised his head clumsily, staring at Yan Jue in disbelief.

Yan Jue looked calmly at the person sprawled on the ground like a stray dog: “This is the consequence of recklessness. Consider it a lesson learned for you.”
