She didn't know that Li Qing'an had been trapped in the formation for three years. She only knew that Lu Xueqi had become extremely haggard because of him a few years ago, and even Tian Ling'er had become like that.
"Sister."
Lu Xueqi felt embarrassed when she saw Wen Min say it in front of everyone, and quickly stopped her.
Although she had already decided what she wanted to do, she was still quite shy about revealing a corner of her heart in front of so many people.
"Senior Sister Wen is joking. Junior Brother was away at the time and couldn't get away. I also thank Senior Sister for taking care of Xueqi on behalf of my older brother."
Li Qingan spoke frankly, he was certain that his feelings for Lu Xueqi had changed, so there was no point in hiding it.
Upon hearing this, the other disciples of Xiaozhu Peak exchanged glances, their faces beaming with undisguised smiles, as if they had just gotten the juiciest gossip.
When Li Qing'an first came to the Moon Gazing Terrace, they were still wondering if someone had captured the heart of this enchanting Qingyun prodigy in front of them. Unexpectedly, the truth has now come to light.
It's just that she didn't win his heart, but rather that she and his junior sister were siblings!
No wonder they noticed that Lu Xueqi looked visibly haggard at the time.
Lu Xueqi tried her best to maintain a cold and aloof expression, her earlobes slightly red, her eyes lowered slightly, and she tightly gripped Tianya in her hand.
Seeing this, Wen Min said no more. After all, this was a matter between the two of them, and she could have simply said something to defend Lu Xueqi.
Li Qingan smiled and glanced at Lu Xueqi again.
Zeng Shushu, who had been forgotten to the side, saw that no one greeted him. He tried to remain calm, opened his fan and waved it a few times to ease his embarrassment.
Seeing Tian Ling'er's displeased expression, he, as her mischievous friend, couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Let's start arguing! Let's start arguing!"
In the heat of the moment, I forgot all about being embarrassed.
.......
Inside the Jade Purity Hall, the heads of the seven sects gathered together.
"I intend to send the top four disciples from this martial arts competition to Mount Kongsang to train and investigate, and to unite the three major sects in the process," Dao Xuan said as everyone arrived.
Ever since Li Qing'an brought up the matter of the Kui Niu of the East Sea a year ago, he knew that the Blood Refining Hall was just a tool released by the Demonic Sect to attract their attention.
"I agree."
Cangsong spoke directly. Ever since he learned of Wan Jianyi's news, he had been completely obedient to Dao Xuan, doing whatever he was told.
He thought for a moment and then continued, "However, given Junior Nephew Li's strength at the Shangqing Realm, sending him to Kongsang Mountain for this martial arts competition probably won't be of much training effect to the other disciples."
Upon hearing this, Shang Zhengliang and the others were greatly surprised.
Li Qing'an has only been a disciple for seven years, yet he has already broken through to the Shangqing Realm. This cultivation speed is probably unmatched even by the Qingye Ancestor himself!
The group of people thought to themselves, and suddenly felt depressed. They glanced at Tian Buyi again and thought to themselves, "What kind of luck did this fat Tian have?"
"Oh, what do you mean, Junior Brother Cangsong?" Daoxuan asked again when he saw Cangsong respond to his words.
“I think we can have Junior Nephew Li protect them secretly. This will not only prevent our disciples from suffering a terrible calamity, but also serve as a training opportunity.”
Having served as Dao Xuan's subordinate for hundreds of years, Cang Song understood Dao Xuan's intentions perfectly.
Tian Buyi's previously happy face suddenly froze. "I, as your master, haven't even said anything yet, and you, Cangsong, have already arranged my disciple?"
But he couldn't think of a good reason to refuse, so he had to swallow this bitter pill.
At this moment, Dao Xuan saw that Cang Song's words were in line with his own thoughts, so he turned to ask the others for their opinions.
"agree."
The chief disciples immediately agreed, since someone could secretly protect them, their disciples' safety would be guaranteed.
Moreover, with Li Qing'an from Shangqing Realm protecting him, he was naturally more than happy to accept it.
As you can see, Feng Hui Peak's weapon-refining skills have risen sharply because of the friendship between its disciple Zeng Shushu and Li Qing'an.
Tian Buyi, however, felt completely invisible when he saw that the others had agreed without even asking for his opinion.
Thinking of this, Shang Zhengliang asked again, "Given Junior Nephew Li's current strength, is it still necessary for him to participate in the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament?"
Dao Xuan stood up and shook his head slightly, saying, "I have a plan for this matter."
He wanted Li Qingan to gain more prestige, since Li Qingan's array formation techniques couldn't be wasted.
Who knows, another lineage might be added to the Qingyun Sect!
..........
Chapter 60 Martial Arts Competition Reward: Five Elements Array Plate
The disciples of Xiaozhu Peak were, after all, female disciples, and it was impossible for them to chat with Li Qing'an for too long.
After a few words, they went their separate ways. Before leaving, Tian Ling'er glared at him fiercely.
"Qing'an, can you let me stay at your Dazhu Peak for a while?"
Zeng Shushu looked at Xiao Luo, then at the three-eyed spirit monkey on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, rubbed his hands together, and looked longingly at Li Qingan.
"I feel that your Little Bamboo Peak has some good feng shui, that it can produce a Little Luo and a Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey. If I had known, I would have become a disciple of Uncle Tian."
Zeng Shushu looked regretful, feeling as if he had missed out on billions of dollars.
However, what Zeng Shushu didn't know was that Xiao Luo's appearance also had a reason, but that's a story for another time.
Seeing Zeng Shushu muttering to himself, Li Qingan sighed helplessly.
"Stop arguing, it's about to start."
"Knock knock knock_"
At this moment, Dao Xuan and the heads of several sects flashed to their seats on the platform, looking down at the disciples below, while the sound of drums rang out from all around!
"Gentlemen, as the ancient saying goes, 'Diligence leads to mastery, while idleness leads to ruin.' Our sect's founder was..."
Dao Xuan stepped forward first, looked at the crowd below, and began to address them.
Just as Dao Xuan was giving his long discourse.
Looking at Dao Xuan above, Li Qing'an felt drowsy, as if he were having a conversation with the head of the academic affairs office in his previous life.
"Is this the essential skill for every great figure? Saying too little will make the disciple feel inadequate?"
Looking at Dao Xuan above, who was talking non-stop, Li Qing'an thought to himself, "I'm disgusted."
Zeng Shushu, who had been carefully examining Xiao Luo's turtle shell, suddenly spoke.
"Hey, Qing'an, I just realized that Xiao Luo has changed again."
He then stroked his chin as if pondering how to describe it before saying, "He seems more dignified, more handsome!"
Li Qing'an, who had long been fed up with Zeng Shushu's nagging, was hypnotized by Dao Xuan above and could only say irritably, "He will advance on his own."
"Advanced?" Zeng Shushu asked curiously upon hearing a new term, "What does 'advanced' mean?"
"Advancing means turning your shell-less turtle into a Blastoise," Li Qingan casually rambled on.
Blastoise?
Upon hearing these words, Zeng Shushu nodded, his expression thoughtful.
Li Qingan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zeng Shushu finally stop talking. Having a chatterbox friend isn't good either!
My ears are never free!
He then looked in the direction of the Azure Pool and pondered. He remembered that Zhang Xiaofan had passed by here twice and had the Spirit Lord come out to give everyone a bath.
I wonder if it will happen again this time.
Aside from the idea of a mass manifestation of divine intervention.
He was also curious about how much the calming mantra would affect Zhang Xiaofan and whether it could suppress the Soul-Devouring Staff's invasion of Zhang Xiaofan's mind.
This also determines what Zhang Xiaofan of Liubo Mountain will do after learning about the enemy who wiped out his village!
If he can suppress it, it means he doesn't necessarily want to join the Demonic Sect. If he can't suppress it, then it wouldn't be too much for him to use Zhang Xiaofan to get the second volume of the Heavenly Book from Wanrenwang.
After all, of the five volumes of the Heavenly Book, he believed that the most difficult to obtain was the Heavenly Book that everyone else was holding.
He believed he had treated Zhang Xiaofan very well, and that obtaining the second volume of the Heavenly Book from him in the future should not be a problem.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Cangsong had already begun introducing the rules of the martial arts competition. Lingzun had not yet appeared, and there was not even a big commotion. It was as if he was asleep and had not noticed the Soul-Devouring Staff on Zhang Xiaofan at all!
Seeing this, Li Qingan sighed. It seemed that Zhang Xiaofan was suppressing his evil aura well, so much so that even the evil radar of the Spirit Venerable could not detect him.
There was no other way; it seemed he would have to find another solution, such as seeking out Biyao, whom Wanrenwang adored the most.
I never imagined that someone as upright as him would act against his conscience.
The world is truly cold and heartless!
"To encourage our disciples to strive for excellence and aim high, we have prepared a prize for the final winner of this martial arts competition: Li Qing'an's Five Elements Array Plate. This array plate, crafted by Li Qing'an, can be used to set up a Five Elements Array, which can be used for both offense and defense. If one has enough vital energy, it can even inflict damage on a master of the Upper Clarity Realm while still being at the Jade Clarity Realm." Cang Song held an array plate in his hand, looking at the crowd below the stage, and boasted to Li Qing'an.
Ever since he learned that Li Qing'an had mastered the art of slaying ghosts and gods, he treated Li Qing'an even better. If it weren't for Li Qing'an possessing the Immortal Gazing Technique and Li Qing'an's firm refusal, Cangsong would have taken back the True Technique of Slaying Ghosts and Gods from Lin Jingyu and given it to Li Qing'an.
Cangsong's words immediately shocked the audience.
"I didn't expect Senior Brother Li to have learned a new formation, and such a powerful one at that," several disciples whispered among themselves.
"Senior Brother Li is indeed amazing, it's just a pity."
"What's a pity?"
"Senior Uncle Cangsong said that only the first place in the martial arts competition can win it. Do you think you can compare to Senior Brother Qi Hao?"
One person shook his head slightly.
"So you still think you can compare to Senior Brother Li?"
The man shook his head again.
"That settles it then. We can't possibly covet this item. I think it's going to return to Li Qing'an's hands again." The disciple who spoke first, after careful consideration, became somewhat displeased.
In the end, he even stopped calling him Senior Brother Li.
Upon hearing this, the disciples all sighed in unison.
Zeng Shushu looked at the array plate above, then at Li Qing'an, his eyes wide with excitement, and said, "Qing'an, this array plate of yours can be used as a prize for the martial arts competition. This is the first time in the thousand years of Qingyun Sect that a magic weapon crafted by a contemporary disciple has become the reward for first place in the martial arts competition."
"However, you're definitely going to win first place in this martial arts competition. This item has come back to you after going around in circles. Won't the disciples in the sect be unhappy and think that you didn't really want to give it away and just wanted to use it as a gimmick?"
Zeng Shushu analyzed carefully, "Your reputation is likely to be ruined in the eyes of some disciples."
