Shen Lin has always been like an elder brother and confidant to me. He's gentle, and every time he looks at me, his eyes are filled with care and consideration that transcends words. When I face him, I don't panic. Instead, I feel at ease.
Even though I knew that Shen Lin's gentleness was only shown when he was willing to show it. After all, he was a noble prince and the person in charge of Qingcheng. How could he always be approachable? It was only now that I realized that it would be harder to find a topic to talk to him than to Jing Yi if he deliberately acted distant.
Before he could think of anything to say, he saw a group of people coming over from the arched door of the garden. He glanced over and saw that everyone was present. Gong Huaiming and the four hall masters of the Windward Pavilion were all here. The other person looked unfamiliar, and he must be the new hall master of the Riverside Pavilion.
Shen Lin and I took a few steps forward to welcome them. Everyone stood still, and I smiled at Gong Huaiming and the other five."It's been a long time since I've seen you all together.”
Gong Huai Ming nodded.”
The few people behind him immediately agreed. Among them, Yue Ze Hall's Hall Master Wen Rong saw that I had a look of anger on his face, but he didn't say anything because of the situation. Yue Ze Hall was in charge of recruiting people in the Windward Pavilion, and could be said to be the hall with the most manpower and connections. The previous task of finding me naturally fell on their heads, so they must have been severely reprimanded by Gong Huai Ming because of this.
I looked at Wen Rong apologetically before turning my head to look at the solemn and silent new face.
"This is the new hall master of the Water Defying Hall, Xiao Li," Shen Lin said.”
"Hall Master Xiao, I am Luo Ying."”
The serious young man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little disappointed."You are Luo Ying?"
Without waiting for me to say anything, Wen Rong couldn't help but interrupt,""Yeah, the one we've been looking for for half a year! Don't underestimate her."
Gu Mianmian was still the one who caused trouble. She came over with an exaggerated expression."Luoying, I remember that Lu Zhaoyuan also had this expression back then.”
As he spoke, he turned to Xiao Li." Hall Master Xiao, according to the rules, you can fight with Luo Ying. It's not embarrassing to lose!"”
After a few words, Xiao Li's face became a little embarrassed. Seeing this, I couldn't let it go any longer, so I put away my smile and looked at Gong Huai Ming. Pavilion Master Gong, aren't you going to do something about it?"
"Punishment is Rongjun Hall's business." Gong Huaiming said expressionlessly.”
Gong Huaiming, who knew that I was on good terms with Gu Mianmian, had finally returned my face by raising the topic to the level of punishment.
" It's not that serious," I quickly smiled." It's just that there's a new person at the helm. I have something to discuss with our hall master. Please leave."”
After saying that, I looked at Gu Mianmian leisurely. I knew that chasing her away would be stepping on her Achilles 'heel. Sure enough, she immediately frowned and looked over with a pleading gaze. Seeing that I was ignoring her, she turned around and cupped her fists at Xiao Li."Mianmian was just anxious and was rude just now. Please forgive me, Hall Master Xiao.”
Wen Rong also cupped his fists when he saw this. Although he didn't say anything, he still showed his weakness.
Xiao Li also saw the clues from the exchange. At this moment, he smiled happily and said,""It's fine. I just don't know what Hall Master Gu is so anxious about.”
Gu Mianmian was always different from ordinary people. She did not hide anything when she heard that."The first ranked in the Water Defying Hall can challenge Luo Ying. I saw the first one killed by her with my own eyes, but Hall Master Xiao still asked despite knowing the answer.”
" If that's the case," Xiao Li laughed and said frankly," Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't use this privilege of mine?!"”
" The Allure and Shadow are world-famous. As you said, it's not embarrassing to lose." Xiao Li turned to look at me and cupped his fists." Then I'll boldly ask for advice."”
I hesitated for a moment, but I didn't have an excuse to refuse. I could only nod lightly."Alright."
Seeing the fine water being unsheathed, I turned my head."Mia-"
Gu Mianmian didn't carry a sword with her. She pulled out the Wind Pattern from Gong Huaiming's hand and threw it to me. She kept saying,"When can you change your habit of borrowing swords?”
I raised my hand to take it, knowing that she had ulterior motives for giving me Wenfeng. Gong Huaiming did not dodge nor hide, but he did not say anything. He turned back to Xiao Li and said,"Hall Master, please."
Xiao Li's sword technique was not originally of the Allure Style. It was obvious that he had recently changed to it after becoming the Hall Master. He was not proficient in using it, which made me hesitate. The Wind Pattern Sword was slightly heavy. It could only be used with the Wind Style Sword Technique of Lifting Heavy as Light. Gong Huaiming had been thinking about how the Wind Pattern Sword was better than fine water all day. Of course, he could not let him have his way in my hands. Thus, he forced himself to use the Water Style, hoping that Xiao Li could understand it despite the effort.
Sure enough, within ten moves, Xiao Li gave up the City-toppling Sword Art that he was not used to and changed his original grand and imposing style. Very soon, I discovered that Xiao Li's martial arts were very good. His attacks were extremely stable and his stamina was far-reaching and long. He might be slightly better than Lu Zhaoyuan.
If it was a prolonged battle, Gong Huai Ming might be able to win, but I don't have much of a chance.
However, at this time, I couldn't use all my strength to defeat him quickly. It was unnecessary and unreasonable. I could only drag it out for a while. If I couldn't make two hundred moves, I would signal to give up. Xiao Li also didn't want to continue fighting. Seeing that I was retreating, he stopped and gestured to me with his sword.
" Hall Master, you have good skills." I spoke first and returned the sword to Gong Huaiming." Pavilion Master Gong has a strong opponent again."”
Gong Huai Ming took the sword with a faint smile and didn't say anything. On the other hand, Xiao Li was very magnanimous."Don't be so modest. Using the pattern wind as water is at least a 30% discount. You're the first person who can still last 200 moves with me.”
If it was your sword, you would be able to take me down in less than 100 moves.""In that case, I have to thank Luoying for showing mercy.”
" You flatter me, Hall Master." I was slightly surprised. Gong Huaiming kept silent. I admired Xiao Li for looking down on the outcome of the battle, so I stopped being polite." It might not be convenient for me to show up in the future, so please calm down and don't call me out often."”
I've made it very clear that I don't want to and don't have the time to be frequently challenged, so you, Xiao Li, had better firmly stay in first place in Defying Water and not be easily defeated and surpassed by others.
"I will do my best." Xiao Li nodded with a smile.”
I turned my head and before I could finish my sentence, I felt a gust of sword wind coming from behind me, accompanied by Shen Lin's voice.""So many people came all the way here to see you. This isn't a simple ending!”
In an instant, the expressions of those who were watching the show were very interesting. I did not turn around to say anything and quickly dodged a move based on my feelings. I was a little embarrassed without a sword in my hand. It was as if Shen Lin wanted to force me to use Dark Night, but unfortunately, I did not bring it with me.
She couldn't help but sigh. Why is everyone looking for me today? I really have to pay back what I owe. Could it be that Jing Yi called me out to pay her debts?
Fortunately, Xiao Li was right in front of me. When I stretched out my hand, he had already thrown the thin water over. He caught it with his right hand and focused his breath. After a few moves, I understood that Shen Lin was really angry. He never attacked people sneakily. This time, he showed no mercy and used all his strength. His sword was fast, and now only a green shadow was left.
I don't know if everyone here has seen it before, but at least this is the first time I've seen Shen Lin in such a situation.
I was quick with my sword. I didn't have the time to think about Xiao Li's attack. I didn't care about the sword system either. I subconsciously blocked the attack in a disorderly manner. It was only when the frosty sword shadow completely blended into Shen Lin's body that he was forced to slow down.
I'm also glad that I'm holding fine water. If it was Wen Feng, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch his breath.
The consequences of ignoring his old injuries were finally revealed. The pain in his chest became more and more severe. His right hand was injured by Lan Shan's sword qi just now, and it was still faintly hurting. I couldn't get out of the way for a while, but I didn't dare to delay any longer. I gritted my teeth and seized the opportunity to force him to take a step back. Taking advantage of this gap, I switched the thin water to my left hand. I didn't hide anything and only avoided a few killing moves. I used all my strength to meet the rest. I removed my defense and used offense as defense. Finally, after the two swords clashed, the two of them retreated separately.
It was another outcome that seemed to be evenly matched, but the essence was completely different from the previous one.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The one who spoke was Gong Huai Ming."To be able to see this, this trip was truly worth it.”
" Why is it a draw with everyone?" Gu Mianmian was obviously a little surprised and said," Luoying, so you're a left-handed sword-"
I lowered my head and paused for a while before raising my head. The corners of my mouth twitched."I've finally let everyone down this time.”
As I spoke, I lifted the water with both hands and brought it to Xiao Li,"Thank you for lending me your sword, Hall Master."
Xiao Li took it and looked at me." As expected of someone who can enter the palace to assassinate and retreat unscathed. This Xiao has opened my eyes."”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
