Volume 1 Chapter 552 Commitment
"Yuan Qingqing, let"s also compete." Shi Xueren raised her head and extended an invitation to Yuan Qingqing.
As she had expected, Yuan Qingqing decisively agreed. She leapt onto the stage with a light leap and Shi Xueren followed. The two of them were facing each other on the stage. It was a stunning scenery.
"It has always been said that Yuan Qingqing is the second beauty. Now, it looks like this is indeed the case."
"What nonsense? Our shi family"s eldest young miss, Shi Xueren, is the second beauty of Cosmos City."
Their supporters were almost the same. Both of them supported the G.o.ddess in their hearts, and neither of them was willing to lower their heads to the other.
"Sister Qingqing, you must show mercy!" Shi Xueren playfully stuck out her tongue at Yuan Qingqing. Although the two of them were often compared, Yuan Qingqing treated her well. In addition to the relationship between the two families, the two of them were privately fine.
"You took the initiative to challenge me. If you listen to your words and show mercy, it would be against your original intention. You, you, always want to take advantage of your own family." Yuan Qingqing smiled helplessly. She was three years older than Shi Xueren. She grew up with Shi Xueren since she was young. How could she not know what kind of person Shi Xueren was?
Just like her, she was so eccentric that she had to be on guard. If she really wanted to show mercy, she would definitely suffer a huge loss.
Shi Xueren summoned her sword pill and floated behind her. Yuan Qingqing took out a whip.
Kong Yun found it interesting. Using a whip on a stage that wasn"t very s.p.a.cious wasn"t advantageous at all. On the contrary, it was very difficult to unleash it.
Moreover, Yuan Qingqing had to deal with Shi Xueren"s twenty-four sword pills. Each sword pill was only about the size of a bullet. Using a whip to fight was even more difficult. Yuan Qingqing was either brave or stupid to do so. However, it was clear that such a beauty would not be a fool. It was definitely because her whip had already perfected herself that she was confident that she would be able to use it to fight Shi Xueren.
Kong Yun noticed that when Yuan Qingqing took out the whip, Xue Ren"s eyes narrowed slightly, and her entire body tensed up a bit. She looked like she was facing a great enemy. It could be seen that Yuan Qingqing was not simple.
The two of them attacked each other at the same time. Shi Xueren"s twenty-four bridges, Mingyue Ye, shot out in succession. Yuan Qingqing"s whip was like a dragon. The two of them both showed their true abilities as soon as they came up without any probing.
Yuan Qingqing"s whip seemed to have intelligence. The tip of the whip moved like a spirit snake and whipped towards the twenty-four sword pills. As long as the twenty-four bridges of Mingyue Ye"s bead-like momentum were dispersed, this move would lose its power.
It could be seen that this whip was also a top-grade star treasure. Its spiritual energy was abundant, and it could even cause waves of ripples when it was waved.
The power of the whip was enormous. It struck towards the sword pill from the side. Lian Zhu"s formation was dispersed from the side by the whip. However, Shi Xueren was not a mediocre person. The sword pill quickly dispersed and changed its formation to continue attacking Yuan Qingqing.
"Xue Ren, your cultivation has improved quite a bit."
"Sister Qingqing, my strength isn"t just that!"
Shi Xueren did not speak as easily as Yuan Qingqing. When dealing with Yuan Qingqing, Shi Xueren put out twelve percent of her spirit. She was not as skillful as Yuan Qingqing.
Kong Yun could tell that Yuan Qingqing"s strength was much stronger than Shi Xueren"s. There were indeed mercy in many places. It was better to say that Yuan Qingqing was guiding Shi Xueren than a compet.i.tion.
Yuan Qingqing"s whip would always find out exactly what was wrong with Shi Xueren"s sword pill, forcing Shi Xueren to defend against it. Either it hit the weak spot of the sword pill"s formation, and the sword pill"s formation would collapse in a single blow.
The two of them fought well, and it seemed to be much more interesting than Chen Tianchi"s one-move battle against the enemy. Especially when Shi Xueren"s twenty-four bridges appeared on the bright moonlit night, the image suddenly appeared, making the entire stage seem to be in the starry sky.
"Forget it, let"s not fight anymore. Sister Qingqing is still so powerful."
There were quite a few private compet.i.tions between the two of them, but each time, Yuan Qingqing gave way to Shi Xueren and kept guiding her in her cultivation.
Originally, she thought that she would get something from fighting Kong Yun, and even if it wasn"t good enough, she would still be able to draw with Sister Qingqing. However, Sister Qingqing was still giving way to her. After fighting for a long time, Shi Xueren herself was a little embarra.s.sed to continue pestering her.
"Xue Ren has made great progress, but sister is also making progress."
"Hmph, I have a new master. I will definitely beat you when I go back to cultivate."
Since Shi Xueren was unwilling to continue fighting, Yuan Qingqing naturally stopped. She pulled Shi Xueren off the stage and the two of them walked to the resting area. Recently, Shi Xueren had been circling Kong Yun and hadn"t spoken to Yuan Qingqing for a long time. Now that she saw him, she had a lot to say.
After glancing at Kong Yun and greeting him, Shi Xueren smiled and chatted with Yuan Qingqing.
Yuan Qingqing had noticed Kong Yun from the beginning. She had grown up with Shi Xueren, but she had never heard of any elder brother. Kong Yun was completely out of thin air. The arrogance of this girl, Xue Ren, had never stood up for a man, but Kong Yun had made Shi Xueren take the initiative to stand up for him.
Furthermore, Kong Yun was not an ordinary person. She had just heard that the Shi Clan had invested in a young man. He was almost the one in front of her. Other people didn"t know, but she knew that the Shi Clan"s Head Shi Housheng"s vision would never go wrong!
Just as she was chatting with Shi Xueren, she took the opportunity to inquire about Kong Yun"s origin. Her sixth sense had always been accurate, and Kong Yun was definitely not ordinary.
Kong Yun was bored after looking at it for a while. There were only four or five people who really had points. Chen Tianchi was one, Yuan Qingqing was one, and the two prodigies sitting at the Earth Crystal Stone table were very powerful. Even the black-clothed youth who bought his spot was extremely powerful.
However, the remaining people didn"t have much to look forward to. After breaking through to this continent, Kong Yun"s strength had greatly improved. After fighting Shi Xueren, Kong Yun had a rough understanding of his own strength. He didn"t know who would win and who would lose against Chen Tianchi.
The duel was almost over, and Seventh Mother was already lying lazily on the reclining chair, hardly watching the duel on the stage.
Kong Yun did not forget that he was entrusted by someone else on this trip. It was not Kong Yun"s style to promise others not to do anything. Coincidentally, this was the right time for Seventh Mother to be free. It was the right time to bring up this matter with Seventh Mother.
Thinking of this, Kong Yun stood up and walked towards Seventh Mother .
"Seventh Mother, forgive me for taking the liberty of sending a message to Seventh Mother. I think this person really wants to see Seventh Mother, so I have agreed to this favor. I hope that Seventh Mother will show mercy."
After saying that, he handed the token that Xue Yifan had given him to Seventh Mother .
The token was just a leaf. There was nothing strange about it. Kong Yun could not feel anything special about the leaf in his hand. However, looking at the way Xue Yifan carefully held the leaf and handed it to him, Kong Yun could not use some extreme methods to explore the essence of the leaf.
Seventh Mother , who was originally lying quietly, sat up when she saw this leaf. Her reaction was extremely intense. Even the two people on the stage stopped when they saw Seventh Mother "s strange actions.
"Everyone, continue."
Perhaps she noticed the gazes of the crowd. Seventh Mother said, telling everyone to stop paying attention to her. Then, she took two deep breaths and slowly calmed down.
Kong Yun didn"t know why the famous Seventh Mother trembled when she saw this broken tree leaf. She almost burst into tears on the spot. However, after years of energy nourishment, she had also reached home. She didn"t let Seventh Mother do such a disgraceful thing.
"It"s not convenient here. Follow me."
Seventh Mother got up and walked towards the depths of the Lai Chun Pavilion. No one knew how big this Lai Chun Pavilion was, but this place that Seventh Mother brought was definitely the inner area of the Lai Chun Pavilion.
Everyone watched as Seventh Mother brought Kong Yun into the depths of the Lai Chun Pavilion and left them behind. No one said that Seventh Mother was wrong, but they were very envious of Kong Yun. Why didn"t Seventh Mother take him away?
Seventh Mother"s maidservant said, "Seventh Mother has told me."
Other people didn"t see it clearly, but Shi Xueren could see it clearly. Kong Yun gave Xue Yifan"s token to Seventh Mother , causing her expression to change greatly. She took Kong Yun to the depths of the Spring Pavilion. She didn"t have anything to worry about. Seventh Mother wouldn"t hurt Kong Yun.
Kong Yun followed Seventh Mother "s footsteps to a courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet and suitable for discussing matters. There wasn"t even a servant in the entire courtyard.
"Tell me, where did you get this leaf?"
"I ran into a pitiful person who squeezed his head to get a spot to see you, but he still lost to the poor word. Since I have promised to help others, I will definitely send a message for him."
"Where is this person now?" Seventh Mother frowned. Her expression was extremely urgent. She obviously wanted to see Xue Yifan as soon as possible. She did not know where Xue Yifan came from, but she could actually make people at Seventh Mother"s level feel nervous.
Kong Yun told Seventh Mother Xue Yifan"s location. As a result, Seventh Mother immediately sent a servant to the Spring Pavilion to invite people over. The two of them could only sit aside and wait.
Not long after, Xue Yifan was invited over. He was still wearing the same clothes and shoes as he had seen yesterday, but he didn"t know how long these things would last.
Kong Yun also instructed the outside world to let Shi Xueren come with him. Originally, she was also involved in this matter, so it was not good to leave her alone.
The host of the banquet was gone, The banquet was also coming to an end. Everyone stayed in the Lai Chun Pavilion for a while before leaving. After all, this was not a place to stay for long. However, when they left, Kong Yun"s name was more or less on their mouths. Being left behind by Seventh Mother was a boundless honor. However, everyone did not understand why Seventh Mother would leave behind Kong Yun, who only hid behind women.
However, there was nothing wrong with Lai Chun Pavilion sending people to bring Shi Xue Ren in. No matter how much they envied a woman, they would never be able to do so.
"Pavilion Master, I"ve brought someone." The two servants brought Xue Yifan to the courtyard.
The moment Xue Yifan entered the small courtyard, the air in the entire courtyard froze. Seventh Mother looked at Xue Yifan in a daze and remained silent.
