Chapter 106 Public Opinion
Xu Heng soaked in the water, and felt relieved when he saw the slime gradually shrinking.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Vivian when he goes back. According to Julie, demigods all have dignity, and if he is beaten, he might seek revenge.
But there was actually no need to create so much trouble. Telling An Lingqing would do no harm to him. But if An Lingqing came to him and Harun acted humbly, it would seem a little awkward.
Fortunately, it seems that An Lingqing didn't ask any further questions... Hmm, why are there such big emotional fluctuations?
Subconsciously turning around, An Lingqing had already walked away - what, is she angry? What important thing made her so angry? Could it be that she is now emotionally mature and remembers that someone had cheated her in the past?
"Julie, do you think An Lingqing can beat Tianxin Sword Saint in this state? Vivian asked me to come over, it seems that she wants her to win. If an eighth-level person fights a ninth-level person, won't she definitely lose?" Xu Heng thought about it and simply stopped caring about it. He couldn't control the affairs of a demigod, so he turned to consult Julie about tomorrow's duel.
"Is this what you should care about now?" Julie's surprised tone sounded in Xu Heng's mind.
"So what should I care about?"
"Oh, never mind, it's nothing, I forgot you were just keeping the field open, now your brain is not working properly."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"What I mean is... Tsk, An Lingqing doesn't have any weapons. Weapons are also an important factor in whether you can win or not. Are you going to use the toys you made to fight?"
"Oh, right... Then what can I do? Oh! The important thing is, can't it be to find a good sword? Without a good sword, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose! The sword that has been with me for so long was broken. No wonder... So that's why."
Listening to Xu Heng's words of sudden enlightenment, Julie was completely speechless - do you think you are so unimportant? Or are you used to treating An Lingqing as a fool?
He didn't even ask about what happened, but just asked "who it was". You didn't notice that he was so protective of his child? Where is your ability to read people's expressions and choose words and sentences? Why didn't you use it?
"He's become smarter, but a child is still a child after all. One sword, one world, one life. How cool! A swordsman? Wow, very cool. Julie, are there any cooler soul-related moves? Will I be as cool as the sword master in battle in the future?" Xu Heng held his head with both hands, and with the nourishment of the spring water, he completely relaxed and began to chat.
"So you always use your mouth to spit out dead air into circles, just to look cool? Are you childish?" Julie mocked.
It turned out to be the case.
Xu Heng, you will regret it if you treat a demigod as a child, even if this demigod has just begun to experience this world.
But precisely because of this, it is even more necessary to treat it with more care.
Anyway, even if you knew, you probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
Then experience the consequences of changing others while considering yourself an outsider - or rather, it is because you are a so-called "outsider" that you dare to do so.
Xu Heng, people don't just have thoughts, they also have hearts. Let you, a madman, be surprised by the thing called "people".
I seem to understand a little bit why you shouldn't belong to the "world", even though you were born here.
This will be your biggest flaw, let me see how you will react and the cause and effect surrounding you.
……
Most people believed that there was something wrong with the Ruthless Sword Master because he had just been defeated and on the same day, he issued a declaration of war to Tian Xin for a third battle.
This is a big taboo in combat.
But some people also think that this is a hint that the Merciless Sword Saint wants to become a partner with the Heavenly Heart Sword Saint. Knowing that they cannot win, the bet is still a "marriage engagement". Isn't this another degree of "consent"?
Those who think more deeply believe in a very small possibility, that is, the Merciless Sword Saint has found a way to defeat the Heavenly Heart Sword Saint.
After all, there was a precedent that Tianxin Sword Saint launched a challenge less than twenty days after his first defeat by the Fist Master, and defeated the enemy with one move. So it is not impossible.
But the style of the Merciless Sword Saint was very different from that of the Tianxin Sword Saint after all, and what was even more outrageous was that there was only one day between them. And his opponent was not the Fist Master, but Tianxin, who was the precedent itself.
It is well refuted.
Therefore, under the overall public opinion, the possibility of the Ruthless Sword Master losing was seen as more than 90%.
It’s just that in history, there have always been too many battle miracles, and that one percent of dissenting voices are a respect for the ruthless swordsman and the miracles.
This was a good thing. After the competition at Tianmen Peak, it was a tradition for the spectators to stay and exchange ideas. This show hadn’t ended yet, and a new show was suddenly added, so many people were lucky enough to avoid the pain of climbing Tianmen Mountain for the third time.
What made everyone on the mountain excited was that Tianxin Sword Saint arrived early. He arrived almost immediately after they learned about the latest battle time from the master of Tianmen Academy who was in charge of presiding over order.
If he was not the only one in the whole venue who stood on the round platform naturally, holding a broken sword handle, no one would recognize him just by looking at his appearance.
Tianxin Sword Saint tied up his long hair, shaved his beard, and wore a neat white suit with gold edges. His clean face after shed his wildness looked surprisingly gentle and elegant.
Who would have known that the heroic swordsman who could cut through the sky and the earth actually had a clean face, and his eyes, which had always been hidden under his messy bangs, were a pair of non-aggressive peach blossom eyes.
She has thin lips, light brows, and a well-proportioned face. Although she is not stunningly beautiful at first glance, she has a clear mind and a delicate figure, like the towering pine and cypress, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Now, everyone is imagining things. Who has ever seen Tianxin Sword Saint, who always appears as an unkempt sword-crazy man, dressed up properly? This battle, no matter who wins or loses, is worth watching!
For whom? Needless to say, it was a matter of demigod's emotions! The saying "I am obsessed with swords, but also obsessed with you. For the sword I return to simplicity, without embellishment, and for you I am willing to make changes" had begun to spread in Tianmen Mountain.
The savage who would always show up at every battle, finally arrived early and put on a suit for her. Such deeds would definitely leave a wonderful mark in the history of Tianmen Peak.
Now all that was missing was the heroine. The atmosphere on Tianmen Peak suddenly became more relaxed. How could this be a battle? This was simply a testimony of love! The love of a demigod!
Tianxin Sword Saint and Wuqing Sword Saint are senior and junior sisters!
Tianxin Sword Master has always had his share of scandals. He even openly supports the legendary paradise, "Paradise Hall". Everyone thinks that Tianxin Sword Master should have a constant stream of romantic affairs.
He himself has never really expressed his feelings to others.
There are only countless speculations left, not to mention that his reputation as a "sword maniac" is also very well-known. Whether he spent his whole life alone for swords or had already "become a romantic man" has always been controversial.
But today, there seems to be a result.
And the target is most likely the ruthless swordsman who is known for his "truly ruthless" nature, which makes it particularly interesting.
And a few days ago, the ruthless swordsman openly brought a male lover.
The love entanglement between them! It is possible that the same-student complex spans a hundred years! The hidden desire! The presentation of human relations!
It's enough for those who have too much free time to think about it in the future.
Today is so different.
The second accident also happened as if by coincidence - the ruthless swordsman did not come earlier!
Wow, that goes against all common sense.
The one who always came early is no longer early, and the one who always came late is now early.
There was still an hour left before the battle, and there was no sign of the Ruthless Sword Master.
Tianxin Sword Saint just remained on the disc, posing until almost dawn.
……
What on earth were you thinking about? You declared war the next day. Did you agree to my request?
I came here specially to wait for you, but you didn't show up like before.
Tian Xin didn't care about the outside world's affairs and opinions at all. He even stood on the round platform as soon as he arrived, and released a threatening aura, so as to "persuade" those who seemed to want to chat with him about boring things to give up one by one.
He didn't want this final battle to be a noisy drama, but a solemn ceremony. He would never look down on any of his senior sisters, and he didn't think he would definitely win.
The way he was dressed did not show his confidence. On the contrary, he was afraid that if he lost, even the courage to express his inner thoughts would disappear as before. He needed some acting skills to motivate himself.
A marriage bet? From the beginning, it was just a joke, a test, a joke, and a hope on his part.
Waiting doesn’t matter. He has been waiting for hundreds of years, so this little bit doesn’t matter.
The sun is gradually rising from the east, the time is almost up, so, are you coming?
"Today, let's fight quickly and decisively." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the clouds.
What is familiar is the voice, but what is unfamiliar is the tone.
Under the gaze of everyone, An Lingqing slowly fell from the air, holding the so-called male lover in her arms.
"Heng, you can continue sleeping. The battle will be over soon." An Lingqing, who was wearing light armor, also didn't care about the opinions of the outside world. He put Xu Heng, who was wearing a mask and had no expression on his face, on the edge of the platform about tens of meters away - but he could feel his confusion - and said gently.
Then she gave a sweet smile, and then changed her expression, looking threateningly and coldly around Tianmen Peak. Then she turned around and stood on the round platform, confronting Tianxin Sword Saint who was staring at her blankly.
"Senior Sister, you..." Tian Xin looked at An Lingqing, who seemed to have not changed, but had changed a lot, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Confusion about that male favorite? Doubt about An Lingqing's change? Or something else? Tian Xin herself couldn't explain her current mood.
Also, this rank...
"What's wrong, everyone? Why don't you set up a protective formation? It's almost time." An Lingqing looked around the stage and said to the other demigods who were looking at her in confusion.
"Sister, why did your rank regress so much?" Tian Xin asked on behalf of everyone present. "Also, didn't you prepare any weapons? What happened?"
"...Xiao Wu, you seem to be dressed very differently today...My rank? It doesn't matter, but you reminded me of the weapon." An Lingqing turned her head and looked at Tian Xin from head to toe, then took out a surprising pink wooden sword from the ring.
There are funny pictures on it. It's hard to believe that it would appear in the hands of a demigod of Tianmen Peak. And it's called a "weapon"?
Tian Xin seemed to be struck by lightning, her expression and body froze, "Senior Sister, what did you just call me?"
"Xiao Wu, isn't your full name An Ling Wu? Or do you not like the name your master gave you?"
"I..., you, are you An Lingqing?"
"Isn't it me? Did the master give the same name to other people?"
"No, maybe we shouldn't fight this battle, Senior Sister, there must be something seriously wrong with you. Damn it, I didn't notice it at the time. We..."
"Xiao Wu, I told you to make this a quick fight. I know I am only at level eight and I am still using a wooden sword, but I am very clear-headed and I have never been so clear-headed before. I have other things to do. I also want to remind you that if you underestimate the enemy, you will lose miserably."
Those eyes were firm and resolute, and that tone was relaxed but overbearing. Tian Xin really wanted to say, "Since you know that this battle is not fair, I don't want to win against you now", but An Lingqing in front of him at this moment made him speechless.
One day, what happened in one day? An Lingwu didn't know. He had noticed something strange as early as the end of the second battle, but because An Lingqing agreed to the bet, at that time, he was completely thinking about how to prepare for the third battle.
"Okay, Senior Sister, since this is your choice, I have no objection. I will definitely find out what happened to you." Taking a deep breath and then exhaling, An Lingwu lowered his eyebrows and said with some displeasure. "All protectors, form a formation. Both challengers have no objection."
The golden fighting spirit shield rose for the third time, under the incredulous gaze of the spectators at Tianmen Peak.
From the discussion about the sudden announcement of the third battle, the excited exchanges when Tianxin Sword Saint arrived on the spot, to the noise when Wuqing Sword Saint inexplicably dropped in rank and behaved very strangely, and finally decided to join the battle, to the silence when they really wanted to fight.
In a short period of time, the atmosphere at Tianmen Peak went through twists and turns like a roller coaster.
The unsolved mystery of Tianmen Peak, reported to you on the spot.
……
"Senior Sister, there are only two of us now. Tell me, what exactly happened? In your current state, this battle is meaningless." An Lingwu did not strike a pose immediately, wanting to try to communicate with An Lingqing.
"Shh, be careful." An Lingqing raised his hand and made a "silence" gesture.
Then, the next second, it disappeared from An Lingwu's perception.
Completely, disappeared, as if it had never existed.
But he could still see An Lingqing standing there.
what happened?
Subconsciously, An Lingwu wanted to step forward.
Suddenly, the air began to flow slightly, and the sense of biological crisis that had been lurking in the body for who knows how long began to work again.
He tilted his head slightly, and just in time a wooden sword appeared out of nowhere in front of him, brushing past his cheek, leaving a trail of blood.
His heartbeat accelerated instantly. An Lingqing in the distance gradually faded away like a bubble, but her afterimage remained. However, in front of him, a mirror-like her appeared again.
He was maintaining the motion of raising his sword and looking up at himself, without any hesitation of a low-level fighter fighting a high-level fighter.
"Next time, I won't let you get away with it so easily."
