Chapter 123: A promising future for the poor sword nun master x a mortal body, a lonely and taciturn
At dawn, cranes are flying around.
All the sects gathered together, and the final competition in the grand and magnificent fairy world selection was about to begin.
Yun Qian took her seat gracefully. Her beauty was as noble as a fairy, and even more remarkable was her considerable strength... and her dazzling wealth...
But only Yun Qian himself knew that Liyuan Fairy Mountain was a home where thieves could be invited to live.
Without further ado, besides the nine major sects, there were also a hundred or so lesser-known sects… all of which had also arrived early. After all, this was a once-in-three-hundred-years event in the world of immortal cultivation, and if they could receive some promising talents, it would be beneficial to the development of the sect.
Unfortunately, Yun Qian was perhaps more anxious than they were. But she also seemed confident of victory. Never let others underestimate you, and you must never underestimate yourself.
No one else knows what the real situation is like, so they just pretend.
Yun Qian vaguely felt that someone was looking at her, and she could sense that there was no good intention behind it.
The woman, dressed in a sleek black frost dress, was simply stunning and eye-catching. She was a seat that could not be ignored. What puzzled everyone even more was that there was no one else beside her; she was the only one sitting there, steady and confident, proud and unyielding.
According to convention, before this final competition begins, each sect will introduce a sect leader to show... well, show you first, to entice you to join their sect.
Unfortunately, someone walked towards her seat. Yun Qian looked at the person and recognized him.
The eldest senior brother of the Yunyang Sect, well, they were once considered fellow disciples. Yun Qian frowned slightly, feeling that he had bad intentions, or perhaps someone was instigating him.
Before she could think any further, the young man in a dark blue robe was already standing in front of her, speaking softly, with a hint of intimacy in his voice, as if he didn't want outsiders to hear.
"Junior Sister Yun Qian, Master asked me to compete with you." He suddenly lowered his voice.
"Junior sister, the sect is now empty, so let's compete so that you can legitimately choose the disciple of your choice first."
Yun Qian looked up at Ji Yu, a man with a straight face but a hint of ulterior motives. He smiled faintly, as if thanking him, but in reality, he felt incredibly cold inside.
Oh, so I can legitimately choose first? What the hell? Do you really think you're a piece of garlic? If I don't have you, I don't have to cook anymore?
He found an excuse for his loss in advance, and then shirked responsibility by saying that he was giving in to me, his junior sister.
I don't know which idiot came up with this...
But he opened his lips and said, "Okay."
Little did he know that this sight made Ji Yu's heart flutter. His junior sister has always been an icy beauty who seldom pays attention to others... The only person who can see her smile is probably Xia Jin, and now she actually smiled at him.
But only those who know Yun Qian know the sarcasm and danger hidden in the raised corners of his lips.
When Yun Qian was studying in the sect, she had indeed never fought with this renowned senior brother, but she was extremely confident, and confidence can often help people survive in desperate situations... Besides, this person's cultivation level was probably on par with hers.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that he had lived over a thousand years longer than Yun Qian, and he felt he was already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, while his junior sister had only just completed her Nascent Soul stage, so naturally he should give way... He figured that others would understand, and by then, he would not only have face, but he might even win the favor of a beautiful woman...
However, Yun Qian was destined to disappoint him.
Yun Qian understood that the world of immortal cultivation was filled with talented people, and who would want to be overtaken by someone else? Why the pretense... However, Yun Qian was more inclined to believe that someone had told him to do this. This senior brother was the best at hiding his shortcomings. Um, the elder of the Yunyang Sect.
As the two men stepped onto the large circular arena, faint exclamations could be heard from the audience... In an instant, the entire audience's focus fell on the two of them, especially the woman with silver hair, whose figure and demeanor made her look like a fairy.
There is no way. Yun Qian’s current reputation in the world of immortal cultivation is really too eye-catching... and among these attentions, there is naturally the system’s most beloved son of destiny.
Yun Qian understood. After all, this was the mechanism of the fast-travel world... She calmly glanced in the direction the system pointed her...
Well, seeing the face of "Little Mouse" was enough to satisfy her. His sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and the silver hair crown made him look very fresh and clear. Well, he was a little young, but if he dressed well, she would not reject him.
Ji Yu stood opposite Yun Qian, watching Yun Qian's gaze fall to the side, and felt doubtful in his heart... Is there anyone in the audience?
But soon, the starter's voice sounded.
Aside from the lengthy opening remarks, she and the senior brother in front of her were introduced...she and this person represented the Yunjian Sect and Yunyang Sect respectively. The whispers from the audience suddenly rose...a thick atmosphere of tension lingered around Ji Yu.
Ling Ji's eyes were always closely following the woman competing on the field... When he secretly went to Yunyue Palace yesterday, he saw her practicing sword... It was her, the Sword Master, that's right.
As the competition began, Yun Qian's expression became serious. She raised the Xuanyue Sword and attacked without hesitation. He was pretending to give in to her, so he would let the world see for himself whether she really needed him to give in...
Ji Yu was a little stunned. Such a strong sword energy could not be possessed by someone who had just formed an infant... But this moment of distraction almost made him miss the big opportunity...
He immediately raised his sword to block it. A sharp sound suddenly rose in the air. The swords clashed, and the woman's eyes were sharp. In an instant, Ji Yu was forced to retreat...
The audience was a little surprised. This Yunyang Sect's eldest disciple was at least a thousand years older than Yunyuan Immortal Venerable's beloved daughter...
Ji Yu steadied his steps and looked up, but he could only see the woman attacking him again.
Ji Yu was getting anxious. This was a competition with all the sects gathered together. How could he be defeated so quickly by a junior sister who was so much younger than him?
He leaped forward to attack Yun Qian, his sword falling straight down to repel her. However, he never imagined that it was his determination to use all his strength that pleased her. No one could see the smile in his heart.
Yun Qian pretended to be a little overwhelmed and asked him to attack, giving him the greatest confidence...
As expected, Ji Yu swung his sword horizontally towards Yun Qian. This move shocked everyone and they felt that it was inappropriate for him to do so. After all, a martial arts competition is about stopping when the time is right and admitting defeat.
But Yun Qian didn't need their exclamations. She fell back, using her sword to press against the ground, dodging the deadly blow. Then, when his sword missed, she leaped up again, spinning in mid-air and striking him from above.
How? She kicked Ji Yu's swordsman's hand away, leaving behind the sound of fists colliding with flesh. Her frosty, icy skirt danced through the air, a majestic presence. She turned and attacked him with her sword, this time without mercy...
