King, they are the martial arts experts I summoned. One is called Helan Zhixuan, and the other is called Zhao Shizhe. They are very skilled.”Yin Bishan nodded at Yang Huo. When she realized that Yang Huo did not pursue the matter of her recruiting experts, a trace of pride flashed in her heart.
"Mm, not bad, not bad!" Yang Huo looked at the two handsome young men with jealousy hidden deep in his eyes, but he still nodded and said,"As expected, he is skilled in both martial arts and literature."
"Helan Zhixuan, Zhao Shizhe, the person standing in front of you is called Ji Qingxi. He just pleaded for mercy for two people who committed capital crimes. I promised him that if he could defeat you, he would spare those two from the death penalty. However, if he lost, he would end up like those two!”
Helan Zhixuan laughed inwardly. This Ji Qingxi was really looking for trouble. The " Snow " Young Master Ji Qingxi, who had always been indifferent to the world, had suddenly changed her character and interceded for two condemned prisoners for no reason. She even troubled herself and Zhao Shizhe to specially compete with him. How boring.
When he heard the words " But if he loses, he will end up like those two people," Helan Zhixuan, who had thought that she could finally embarrass Ji Qingxi this time, felt her heart fall to the bottom.
Drawing a sword to help was obviously not Ji Qingxi's style. Zhao Shizhe was also puzzled by Ji Qingxi's motive. Could it be that she wanted to show off her generosity and kindness in front of these beauties and suppress him at the same time?
Ji Qingxi could sense the displeasure in Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe's expressions and quickly gave them a look.""Hello, young heroes. You are also from the Central Plains. I just hope to ask the Empress for the antidote to save the person who just made a mistake. If I offend you later, please forgive me.”
Zhao Shizhe finally understood. He realized that no matter what, they had to lose the competition later because only then would they have Luxiang's antidote. Thinking of this, his heart was extremely depressed. He looked at Helan Zhixuan, who had long felt the same way, and understood what it meant to be in the same boat.
Against Ji Qingxi, Zhao Shizhe had already lost once. If he had the chance to fight again, he would be able to wash away his previous humiliation. Unexpectedly, he had to be defeated by Ji Qingxi again. In this case, even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to harden his heart and give up the chance to fight with all his might.
Helan Zhixuan noticed the mysterious smile on Ji Qingxi's face and understood that Ji Qingxi was looking forward to her defeat at his hands. Today, she could finally get what she wanted. The unruly Helan Zhixuan was not Zhao Shizhe.
In the Divine Religion, the two young masters, Wind and Snow, had occasionally fought and won, but they had never experienced a real battle of life and death. Helan Zhixuan had always been confident that she could beat Ji Qingxi. One had to know that his qinggong was something that no one could match. Now, it was hard for him to accept the fact that he had lost intentionally.
Looking at Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe's heavy and helpless expressions, Ji Qingxi was secretly happy that they had such a day.
"Let's not talk too much. Helan Zhixuan, Zhao Shizhe, the two of you remember to do your best to defeat Ji Qingxi.”From Yin Bishan's gaze, one could see that she had great expectations for the two of them.
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe were silent. The two of them were unwilling to bear the brunt. No matter what, this battle would have the same result.
"Young heroes, could it be that after hearing the name of me, Ji Qingxi, who taught myself without a teacher, you feel inferior and feel timid?”Ji Qingxi laughed wildly. Although she felt like a villain who had achieved success, she was still willing to accept this rare opportunity to show off.
This Ji Qingxi was simply going too far. Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe's eyes were burning with anger, but they suppressed their anger.
"Hero Ji Qingxi, I've never heard of your name in the Central Plains.”Even though Zhao Shizhe's anger was already on the verge of exploding, he tried his best to suppress it and still smiled.
"Self-taught? For Hero Ji to have such a tone, Helan Zhixuan felt inferior! The ancients said,'Empty oneself is the foundation of virtue.'I know my own limits and dare not make a fool of myself. Since my skills are not as good as yours, please go ahead, heroes Zhao and Ji.”Helan Zhixuan sneered and made an inviting gesture.
Helan Zhixuan's move could be said to be very brilliant. Zhao Shizhe was forced to go on stage and glared fiercely at Helan Zhixuan. He comforted her mentally, Although he had lost first, did Helan Zhixuan have the same ending? Furthermore, he had lost to Ji Qingxi who was fighting again. Wouldn't he lose even more face?
Yin Bishan raised her hand impatiently and pointed at Zhao Shizhe and Ji Qingxi. She shouted sternly,""Don't waste time, you guys can compete.”
It wasn't a bad idea to see Zhao Shizhe being humiliated for the time being. Helan Zhixuan smiled and retreated to the side, standing near Yin Xianyin.
Since they didn't dare to communicate too much, Helan Zhixuan and Yin Xianyin exchanged glances and smiled.
Ji Qingxi and Zhao Shizhe each took a sword. The former had a smile in his eyes, while the latter had a complicated and deep gaze.
Yin Xiazhen gripped her clothes tightly with both hands, her face filled with anxiety. He was worried that Ji Qingxi wouldn't be able to win.
Yin Xianyin looked at the calm Helan Zhixuan and thought, After Zhao Shizhe, it's his turn. A hint of a smile flashed across her face. She really wanted to see what kind of expression Helan Zhixuan would have when he lost to Ji Qingxi.
Lu Xiao and Ping Yuxiao weren't too interested in a match without any suspense. In any case, the three of them were just playing, and it didn't matter who won.
To set off Ji Qingxi's high martial arts skills, and to pretend that it was not easy to do her best, Zhao Shizhe felt a chill in his heart, as if this was his most painful sword fight.
He couldn't lose too quickly! He thought to himself, If this were to happen, he would lose face. He might even let others see his flaws. No matter what, he would have to hold on for a period of time. At first, Zhao Shizhe waved his sword and used all his strength to deal with Ji Qingxi.
Zhao Shizhe and Ji Qingxi attacked and defended. The two handsome men with top-notch sword techniques were waving their swords with ease.
Yang Huo, Yin Bishan, and the crown prince's concubines, who did not know swordsmanship, only felt that the two of them were fast and skilled in swordsmanship. They could not tell who would win or lose.
"Which one of them is better?" Yang Huo shifted his body and asked Yin Bishan.
"This…I'm not sure either." Yin Bishan glanced at Helan Zhixuan." Helan Zhixuan, what do you think?"”
Helan Zhixuan replied respectfully,"For now, Zhao Shizhe has already taken the initiative when he attacked and has been suppressing Ji Qingxi's counterattack.”
As soon as Helan Zhixuan finished speaking, Yin Bishan was delighted and asked,""You mean that Zhao Shizhe is stronger than Ji Qingxi?“
"That's not the case at all. Although Zhao Shizhe has the upper hand, Ji Qingxi's defense is impeccable. Zhao Shizhe has never been able to break this stalemate.”Helan Zhixuan said with a smile.
Yang Huo was extremely dissatisfied with Helan Zhixuan's indecisive answer. He turned his head and asked Qi Wushang, who was in front of him,"Qi Wushang, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, Zhao Shizhe will be exhausted faster than Ji Qingxi in terms of physical strength. As time passes, it will be very disadvantageous to Zhao Shizhe.”
"In that case, the loser is Zhao Shizhe.”Yin Bishan frowned.
"You can say that, Empress."”Sigh, he didn't expect that he would actually have to speak up for Ji Qingxi.
The stalemate was meaningless. Zhao Shizhe could only slow down the speed of his sword, giving Ji Qingxi a hint to retaliate. Ji Qingxi seized the opportunity and immediately turned the tables. She continuously struck out with her sword, and Zhao Shizhe took the opportunity to block the last attack. After that, the sword was knocked down by Ji Qingxi, and she very impolitely aimed her sword at Zhao Shizhe.
Seeing that Ji Qingxi had won the first round, Yin Xiazhen was filled with joy and excitement. She couldn't help but clap her hands and smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Useless!" Yin Bishan said hatefully.
Zhao Shizhe retreated to the side dejectedly, while Ji Qingxi was beaming with joy.
"Are you confident of winning?" Yin Bishan's tone was decisive as she looked at Helan Zhixuan, who was about to fight.
Helan Zhixuan hesitated and finally squeezed out a few words from her mouth,"I'll do my best."
At this moment, Yin Xiazhen stood up and said anxiously,""Elder Sister, this isn't fair. Young Master Ji Qingxi just fought a round and consumed a lot of stamina.”
"Didn't Ji Qingxi say that he was a hundred-year-old genius? There must be something magical about him. How could she look at him with the eyes of an ordinary person?”Yin Bishan chuckled. She didn't believe that he could fight two people in a row.
Helan Zhixuan deliberately glanced at Yin Xiazhen. This was Princess Li Luo. To speak up for Ji Qingxi at this time, she was definitely not innocent. The meticulous him could not help but let his imagination run wild.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Ji Qingxi has always been a person who doesn't care about trifles. The competition just now was nothing to me.”Ji Qingxi put on a righteous look and said seriously.
Helan Zhixuan snorted coldly. She couldn't lose to Ji Qingxi openly in what Yin Xiazhen said was an unfair competition!
The competition just now was nothing? This defeated opponent's defeated opponent was really easy to say. If it wasn't for the fact that Helan Zhixuan was about to be defeated again, Zhao Shizhe definitely wouldn't be able to take this lying down.
Bi Ye trembled. Young Master Wind was furious and could not suppress it.
