Three months later, the Wen family of Mount Qi invited the various sects to participate in the grand event. Madam Yu was afraid that someone would see through Li Yuluo's identity, so she made Li Yuluo change his name to Yu Luo when she registered. She specifically told Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng not to call Li Yuluo by his full name. This way, she could avoid the suspicion of the Wen family of Mount Qi and protect Li Yuluo's participation in the competition.
The Nightless City was very large. It was practically a city that stood on top of a mountain peak. It was so lively that it didn't rest day or night, and the lights were bright. Hence, it was named the Nightless City. Because of the liveliness of Mount Qi, Wei WuXian had separated from the main group. Jiang FengMian asked Li Yuluo and Jiang Cheng to look for him. The three of them were lost in this mountain. There were two paths in the mountain. Li Yuluo went to one of the paths to scout, and asked Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng to wait for her at the fork.
Li Yuluo followed this path and walked into the forest. He guessed that this should not be the way to the hunting ground. When he was about to return, he saw a woman wearing a blazing robe. She had bright white teeth and looked like a red rose waiting to bloom. She seemed to be looking for something and muttered to herself,"Ah Ning, that brat, disappeared in the blink of an eye. If I catch him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!”
Suddenly, he saw a stalk of Snow Fragrance Flower in the distance. His eyes lit up, and he was about to pluck it."It's actually the Snow Fragrance Flower. This flower can be used as medicine to heal wounds that have been burned by intense flames.”
Li Yuluo had done some research on medicine, but the Snow Fragrance Flower's uses were not limited to this. He could not help but ask,""The Snow Fragrance Flower can be taken both externally and internally.”
"Why?" Wen Qing said in surprise.
"It can be consumed with the Star Grass to treat high fever caused by corpse poison. It can reduce the temperature quickly and has a miraculous effect.”Li Yuluo was interested.
"Yes, I can give it a try." Wen Qing pondered carefully.
"You can add a coin of thin ice grass with Zen taste Ye Xiazi to treat frostbite after an ice worm (a poisonous insect) attack.”
"Ha, who are you? You've always been quite good at concocting medicine?”Wen Qing cupped his hands.
Li Yuluo cupped his hands and said,"I don't dare to accept it. Fairy Doctor, Saint Hand, Miss Wen Qing, I'm here." Yu Luo is just a nobody."
"Hello, Young Master Yu."
"Why is Young Master Yu here?" Wen Qing admired Li Yuluo's medical attainments and could not help but take a liking to him.
"Uh, it's a little awkward. My two senior brothers and I accidentally lost our team. We just came to Mount Qi and got lost, so we came to inquire.”Li Yuluo said.
"Oh, Mount Qi Hunting Ground isn't here. There was a fork in the road you came from, you should take another road and you'll be there.”Wen Qing said kindly," Why don't I lead the way?”
"It's better to obey than to be respectful. Please!" Li Yuluo cupped his hands.
Along the way, Li Yuluo and Wen Qing chatted happily. When it came to medicinal herbs, the two of them were even more talkative. As the saying went, they appreciated each other and regretted not meeting each other earlier.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of an arrow piercing through the air.
"Thump-"
The voice in the middle.
Li Yuluo clapped his hands and cheered.”
The young man who was drawing the bow was shocked and hid behind the huge rock.
Wen Qing rolled up her sleeves and walked behind the rock. She twisted the young man's ear and pulled him out.
"Sister, Sister, I was wrong." The young man wailed.”
"Do you still dare to run around? I told you to pick herbs, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye.”Wen Qing held the bow and arrow." I'm here to practice archery. Your shooting skills are not bad."”
Li Yuluo was dumbfounded. He did not expect Wen Qing to be so fierce.
Only then did Wen Qing think of Li Yuluo. She hurriedly lowered her sleeves and let go of the youth's ears, feeling a little embarrassed.
Li Yuluo smiled." Miss Wenqing, this is your true nature. You don't have to hide it."”
"This brother's archery skills are powerful and can pierce through the air. It's not too much to pierce through a willow tree from a hundred feet away.”Li Yuluo turned to the youth." May I know your name?”
"I…" the youth said.
"He is my younger brother, Wen Ning, also known as Jasper Forest.”Wen Qing retorted," I told you to be bolder. You speak so timidly, sigh-"
"No, he is a worthy opponent. Brother Jolin, you are great!”Li Yuluo praised generously.
Wen Ning's bashful face had a hint of a smile as he rubbed the back of his head and said,"There's someone. Someone had said something similar.”
"By the way, Brother Jasper Forest, did you meet two disciples of the ClouddreamJiang Clan while you were practicing archery? They are my two senior brothers.”Li Yuluo asked.
"Yes. There was... Well, I told them to go that way. They should be reaching the hunting ground soon.”Wen Ning said.
Wen Qing suggested," Why don't we go to the hunting ground together? Ah Ning, stop practicing. It's almost time. Let's go!"”
Thus, the three of them hurried to the hunting ground.
Nightless City Hunting Ground
Li Yuluo bid farewell to Wen Qing and her brother. Seeing the Yunmengjiang Clan's team, Wei WuXian was looking around. Suddenly, he waved in Li Yuluo's direction, and Li Yuluo immediately returned to the team.
"Jiang Cheng, didn't I tell you? You don't need to go back to find Yuluo. Yuluo has a good sense of direction.”Wei WuXian said.
Jiang Cheng nudged Wei WuXian,"It's all because you're too playful that you got lost. Otherwise, Yuluo would've caught up with the team long ago. How dare you say that? Hmph!"”
Li Yuluo tried to smooth things over and smiled.""Stop fooling around. It's all thanks to Senior Brother getting lost that I met a close friend.”
Li Yuluo looked at Wen Qing, who smiled back.
"Aiya, Yuluo isn't bad. You actually know Wen Qing. She's a great beauty. Tell me, how did you seduce her?”Wei WuXian said ruffian.
"Don't think too much about it. I especially admire and admire her.”Li Yuluo said.
"Oh, that's true. Yuluo is proficient in medicine, so naturally, we have the same interests. Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have learned more about medicine.”Wei WuXian rubbed his chin helplessly.
For some reason, Wei WuXian felt a chill run down his spine. Looking in the direction of the chill, Wei WuXian's eyes brightened,"Brother WangJi, Lan Zhan, you're here too. Hey, hey, I'm here, look at me!”
Li Yuluo and Jiang Cheng held their foreheads.
Wei WuXian walked towards Lan WangJi,"Brother WangJi, did you miss me?”
Lan Zhan turned away, ignoring Wei WuXian.
"Hey, don't ignore me. We're already so close, just talk to me."”
"Not familiar." Lan Zhan said. However, he was holding the bow a little tighter, as if he was nervous.
Lan Zhan walked past Wei WuXian expressionlessly. Wei WuXian thought of a plan,"Hey, Lan Zhan, your forehead wipe is crooked!"
Lan Zhan brushed the forehead brush calmly, as if checking if it was straight. Wei WuXian chuckled,"I lied to you, hahaha."
"Boring." Then, Lan Zhan left without looking back.
"Hey, hey, hey, Wei WuXian, what's the situation now? You're still flirting with Lan WangJi. Don't you want to compete anymore?”Jiang Cheng said resentfully.
Li Yuluo stood in the line and looked at the rostrum. The seat of Wen Ruohan, the head of the Qishan Wen family, was facing south and was high above. The seats of the four great families 'leaders were on the right side of the seat, and there was only one seat on the other side. In this world, the left side was respected and the right side was the subject. Heh, the Qishan Wen family clearly wanted to dominate and be respected. Their ambition was obvious. It was a pity that some people were blinded by the situation.
Wen Ruohan announced the start of the match on the stage. The disciples of the Wen family knelt on the ground while the disciples of the other four families only performed the Han salute. Li Yuluo sneered in his heart.
There was a new rule in the competition. They would no longer shoot dead targets, but fierce spirit targets. There was a magic formation on everyone's left, and behind the magic formation was a stone forest. There were more than a thousand arrows in the stone forest, but there were only more than a hundred fierce spirit targets. The person who hit more fierce spirit targets would win. If he shot wrongly or missed, he would have to leave. Those who left would burn black fireworks.
Suddenly, the young master of the Wen Family, Wen Chao, pointed at a person and said,"Hey, hey, hey, you, Wen Ning, why are you here? Are you qualified to enter? Don't drag us down."
Wei WuXian stood up for Wen Ning,"Who says he's not good at shooting? He's very good at shooting, better than you!”
"Heh, Wei WuXian, it's good that you say it's good. I don't believe you. Here, try it on for yourself.”Wen Chao didn't mind.
Wen Ning raised his bow shakily, and Li Yuluo knew that he was in trouble. The arrow stabbed into the ground weakly, and Wen Chao burst out laughing,"Hahahaha, Wei WuXian, you're not good at judging people.”
Being laughed at in public, Wen Ning whispered to Wei WuXian,"Yes... I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"It's fine. You're just not used to shooting in front of everyone. You just need to practice more. Let me tell you, you're very good at shooting. There are no more than three people who can surpass you.”Wei WuXian smiled and pointed at Jiang Cheng.
"Wei WuXian, you're asking for a beating!" Jiang Cheng hated comparing his anger with others the most. He threw a heavy punch at Wei WuXian's back.
Li Yuluo also stood up and said," Brother Qionglin was nervous just now. It was just a mistake. Give him another chance!"”
"And who are you?" Wen Chao glanced at him.
"Yu Luo, a nobody of YunmengJiang Family, I believe you don't want to lose your talent, right?”Li Yuluo said.
"Why should I believe you? But I can consider it again.”Wen Chao said," Shoot it again. If you fail again, get lost!”
"I…" Wen Ning clenched his fists, not knowing what to do.
Li Yuluo said in Wen Ning's mind,""Brother Jolin, you are now at the intersection of Qishan Road. This place is empty. You are in a good mood and want to shoot arrows.”
At the same time, Wen Ning's mind was empty. His mind was clear of distractions and his eyes were focused. He took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring back. He pointed the arrow at the red heart and shot out like a shooting star.
"Thump-"
Wei WuXian burst into cheers. Li Yuluo stood in the crowd and smiled.
Wen Ning came back to his senses,"I actually hit it!"”
Lan WangJi, Jin ZiXuan, and the others looked over, slightly surprised.
Only then did Wen Chao turn to look, somewhat surprised. This accuracy was even better than his, but how could someone be better than him? He said,"Oh, Wen Ning, you can be a substitute!”
Wei WuXian still wanted to defend him, but he was stopped by Li Yuluo and Jiang Cheng. It was inappropriate for the YunmengJiang Clan to interfere in this matter. They were only proving that Wen Ning was a talent, but whether the Qishan Wen Clan would use him was another problem.
Although Wen Ning was only a substitute, he was indeed very gratified. He silently remembered Wei WuXian and Li Yuluo.
The competition officially began. Disciples of the four clans entered the formation one after another. Unfortunately, Li Yuluo was separated from Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng, so he could only search for arrows by himself. Yes, this competition wasn't just about who could shoot more arrows, but also who could find the arrows first. Li Yuluo was searching for arrows in the complicated stone forest when he suddenly realized that the Wen clan of Mount Qi was up to no good. They had placed a large number of arrows in the area where the Wen clan of Mount Qi had entered, as well as a large number of evil spirit targets near the disciples of the Yunmengjiang clan. How was he supposed to fight against the Ferocious Spirit Target without arrows? Damn it! Not only did this cause the four great clans to lose the initiative, but it could also damage the talents of the other clans. Despicable! This made Li Yuluo very angry. Unfortunately, private fights were not allowed in the formation. If they started a fight, they would be disqualified. However, since they were cheating, then don't blame Li Yuluo. Li Yuluo secretly followed a disciple of the Wen family of Qishan and beat them to it. He put all their arrows into his Qiankun Bag and placed them near the places where the four families were scattered. Li Yuluo did it very secretly. He scattered the arrows at the places he had already found. During the process of placing the arrows, he would also look for the target of the evil spirit. If he met someone he knew, he would lead them to look for the arrows. This way, the fairness of the competition could be maintained. When someone found the arrows, Li Yuluo would quietly disappear again. As time passed, the Yunmengjiang family's fireworks were the first to bloom. Li Yuluo knew that it was Wei WuXian, so he rushed to meet up with them nearby. There were more and more evil spirit targets on the way. Li Yuluo thought that since there were so many evil spirit targets, She was too embarrassed to let down the "good intentions" of the Wen family of Qishan. She drew her bow and shot arrows. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-Li Yuluo was trying his best to catch up with Wei WuXian and the others, searching for them along the way. If he met any of his fellow disciples, he would lend them a hand. Li Yuluo and the others slowly gathered with Wei WuXian, and just like that, Li Yuluo had hunted quite a few fierce spirit targets.
Another Yunmeng Jiang Clan's firework bloomed in the sky. This time, it was Li Yuluo's firework.
Wen Ruohan stared at the fireworks in the distance, his expression unhappy. Wen Chao could see Wen Ruohan's unhappiness, and volunteered to enter the hunting ground. Wen Chao was shameless. He had been following behind Wei WuXian to get a share of the spoils, so he didn't stop. Suddenly, Wen Chao got carried away and shot the wrong arrow. Black fireworks lit up in the sky. He acted as if he didn't see it and wanted to shoot again. Wei WuXian kindly reminded Wen Chao that he was out of the game, but Wen Chao said arrogantly,"I set the rules."
A cultivator couldn't stand it anymore and said,"Isn't it because the surname Wen has special privileges? Hmph, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked!”
Wen Chao immediately drew his bow and fired three arrows at the cultivator. The cultivator was so scared that he stood rooted to his original spot, unable to dodge. In the nick of time, Lan WangJi drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow passed through Wen Chao's arrow and scattered the other two arrows before hitting the target. Li Yuluo couldn't help but be impressed by Lan Zhan's superb archery skills.
Wen Chao snorted coldly after being slapped in the face. He left the scene dejectedly, but he said something to the other Wen disciples and laughed sinisterly.
Wei WuXian was also very impressed with Lan Zhan's archery skills, so he took the initiative to chat with him. Thus, a classic scene happened. Wei WuXian pulled Lan WangJi's forehead ribbon, and Lan Zhan left angrily. His eyes were practically frozen.
Wei WuXian was currently in the lead. With Li Yuluo's opinion, Wei WuXian would definitely be first. However, there was one thing that Li Yuluo couldn't understand. A man from the Wen family of Qishan was following behind Wei WuXian sneakily. He didn't look like he was going to shoot an arrow. Suddenly, he shot something out from his wide sleeve. Li Yuluo saw that it was a poisoned sleeve arrow. Li Yuluo flew forward and pushed Wei WuXian away. The sleeve arrow brushed past Li Yuluo's wrist, leaving a shallow wound and disappearing into the air, Wei WuXian was pushed for no reason. Before anyone knew what had happened, they saw Li Yuluo sitting on the ground with his bow and arrow. They couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
"Yuluo, how are you?" Wei WuXian said.
"Yuluo!" Jiang Cheng said.
"I was careless and was cut by it. My body is a little numb now.”Li Yuluo forced a smile." Just now, that person secretly shot an arrow at your back. You have to be careful.”
"Preposterous. I'll go and reason with him.”Wei WuXian was furious.
The junior brothers were also filled with righteous indignation.
"Calm down and don't go. Even if you go, you won't have any evidence. You'll be disqualified for causing trouble.”Li Yuluo stopped them." You have to take my share and beat them hard, understand?”
Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng's group instantly continued the match with high morale, while Li Yuluo forfeited and left the field.
Not long after, the YunmengJiang Clan lit up another firework. This time, it was Jiang Cheng's.
In the evening, Li Yuluo took the antidote and waited quietly for the result.
The host announced the results,"Xuanzheng Jimao year, Qishan's Wen family's Qingtan Banquet archery competition, top four. First place, Yunmengjiang's Wei WuXian; second place, Gusu Lan's Lan Xichen and Yunmengjiang's Jiang Wanyin; third place, Lanling Jin's Jin Zixuan; fourth place, Gusu Lan's Lan WangJi!”
The disciples of Yunmeng cheered, then they looked at the disciples of the Nie family of Qinghe, who were ranked fifth. The sixth was Yu Luo of the Jiang family of Yunmeng, the seventh was Wen Chao of the Wen family of Qishan, the eighth was Jin Zixun of the Jin family of Lanling, the ninth was Su She of the Gusulan family, and the tenth was Wen Qionglin of the Wen family of Qishan.
The YunmengJiang disciple couldn't help but feel pleased."Hmph, plotting against others, not only is he not in the top four, he's even weaker than Yuluo.”
Jiang Cheng gestured for them to speak less, but "Yuluo" was still inadvertently remembered.
