Li Heng was badly injured and could no longer continue watching the competition, so Xu Mu had Shang YaoYao take him back.

Shang YaoYao had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage and was no longer eligible to participate in the competition. So it made no difference to her whether she watched the contest or not.

Shang YaoYao was unhappy about being treated like a maid by Xu Mu.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re capable of making money for me, I wouldn’t even bother dealing with you! Humph!”

Despite grumbling, Shang YaoYao obediently heeded Xu Mu and returned with Li Heng.

Xu Mu and Luo Qingchen continued to watch the competition until the end, and then returned to Lonely Sword Peak. The second round of the competition would start the next day.

By the time they returned to Lonely Sword Peak, Li Heng had already awakened. However, his internal injuries were severe and he couldn’t get out of bed yet.

Li Heng leaned against his bed, looking disheartened.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will figure out a way to get you the Foundation Establishment Pill!” Xu Mu assured him with a smile.

“Thankyou, junior brother!”

Li Heng managed to squeeze out a smile.

After a few more exchanges, Xu Mu took his leave.

The next day came quickly.

Luo Qingchen was the first to compete. Unfortunately, she wasn’t so lucky this time, facing a formidable foe in the late Qi Cultivation Stage. She secured victory at the cost of a light abdominal injury.

Xu Mu’s opponent was a disciple from Luo Jian Peak, similar to Qi Yue, who even recognized him.

“Don’t think that just because you and Senior Brother Qi are on good terms, I’ll go easy on you!” the girl arrogantly declared.

Xu Mu was somewhat nonplussed.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

When did I ever suggest you go easy on me?

As the commencement bell rang, the girl moved without holding back, releasing six flying swords at once.

“Sword Array?”

Xu Mu noticed that she didn’t use auxiliary tools like the Compass or Array Map to control her magic artifacts.

Ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage disciples limited in their Divine Intent could only control a maximum of two magic artifacts concurrently even with an auxiliary tool like the Compass or Array Map.

The fact the girl in front of him could control six at once meant she had cultivated a mind-related secret skill.

“As long as my Sword Array is set up, even if you… Ahhh!”

Xu Mu flicked his fingers, shooting out dozens of fire bullets in an instant and directly blasting the unguarded female disciple away.

The scene was momentarily quiet before a slew of curses enveloped the area.

“Despicable!”

“Shameless!”

“She’s a fairy, you know!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Of course, these words were mostly from Luo Jian Peak disciples or those who had a good relationship with the peak. Most people watched it as an amusing spectacle.

“Senior Brother Xu is indeed interesting!”

Qi Yue laughed heartily inside, though he kept his face stoic. After all, the girl was his junior sister; openly laughing would seem like betrayal.

Xu Mu didn’t respond much to everyone’s disdain. If he had waited for the opponent to set up the Sword Array, even if he eventually won, he would have exposed his strength, which went against his agreement with Shang YaoYao.

“Well done!”

When Xu Mu came down from the arena, Shang YaoYao couldn’t help but praise him.

Although the odds for the first two games weren’t high, she had a large capital and got a little profit. Plus, Xu Mu didn’t reveal much of his strength, so she was naturally in a good mood.

“We did agree that I get a share of the winning, right?!”

“How many times do I have to tell you to call me Miss first!”

“Miss!”

“Don’t worry! You definitely won’t get shortchanged!”

Shang YaoYao declared confidently.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The number of matches on this day was fewer than the previous day, but the sect still gave a day’s rest before the next round.

“Senior Sister Luo, are your injuries serious? The next match…”

“It’s just a slight injury, don’t worry. It’ll be all right after a night’s rest!”

Luo Qingchen said with a gentle smile on her face.

“That’s good!”

Xu Mu’s eyes flickered slightly without saying much, and went back to his own courtyard.

In fact, given Luo Qingchen’s current results, she had already made it into the top too. However, it was clear that she wanted to strive for more.

Shang YaoYao said that Li Heng was stubborn; the same was true for Luo Qingchen. Otherwise, how could she have lived in Lonely Sword Peak for so long?

However, getting into the top 100 made it unlikely to encounter weak opponents anymore. There was also a high probability of meeting a seeded player.

The third day arrived quickly, and Li Heng was already able to move around, but he still couldn’t use his spiritual power. At his incessant request, the trio took him along, with Shang YaoYao in charge of taking care of him.

“Me, a dignified lady! Why am I always the one to do this!”

Shang YaoYao complained.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She joined Lonely Sword Peak in pursuit of freedom, but instead, she ended up having to care for an invalid like a maid.

“For this time’s earned Spirit Stones, give me an extra ten percent of my share!”

“You said it, hurry up and put it in writing!”

With the Spirit Stone addition from Xu Mu, Shang YaoYao immediately became enthusiastic.

When the four of them arrived at Qingyun Palace, they found the crowd of onlookers was much larger than the previous two days. Not only did all disciples at the Qi Cultivation Stage come, but many older disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage also showed up.

The four people found a spot near the stage and waited for the competition to begin.

Soon, the list of competitors appeared on the screen.

“Sister Luo might not make it!” whispered Shang YaoYao to Xu Mu through her divine intent.

“What do you mean?”

Xu Mu asked with a slight frown.

“Her opponent is Bai Yingwu, one of the top three geniuses from Sacrificial Sword Peak. She’s been in the sect two years longer than you. Do you think Sister Luo could be a match for her?”

Shang YaoYao retorted.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Shang YaoYao’s connections allowed her to learn most of the disciples’ information, so knowing about Bai Yingwu wasn’t strange.

Sacrificial Sword Peak, it was amongst the top-ranked peaks. The disciples there ranged from one to two hundred at the bare minimum, they are incomparable to Lonely Sword Peak which had only a few disciples. To be ranked among the top three among so many people demonstrated extraordinary talents.

Xu Mu looked towards Luo Qingchen and noticed that her face became unusually serious.

“Sister Luo, have you heard of this Bai Yingwu?” Xu Mu asked tentatively.

“Yes!”

Luo Qingchen did not hesitate to answer, “A genius disciple from Sacrificial Sword Peak, some predict that she will make it to the top three in this tournament.”

“Then Sister Luo, you…”

“Although I’m not as strong as her, it doesn’t mean I have no chance of winning.”

How can she win if she’s not as strong?

This statement seemed stupid, but Xu Mu quickly understood Luo Qingchen’s meaning.

“Alright! Sister Luo, be careful!”

Xu Mu didn’t say more.

Anyways, there are Golden Core Stage individuals watching, there’s no need to worry about life-threatening situations, let this serve as to gain wisdom from a misadventure.

“Don’t worry about me. Your opponent is not weak either. Although not as strong as Bai Yingwu, the difference isn’t much. Don’t be careless and make mistakes!”

Luo Qingchen responded with concern.

“I got it!”

Xu Mu laughed.

Disciples from other peaks heard their conversation and sneered, “Who do these two think they are? Ready to defeat Sister Bai and Elder Brother Gu!” “Seems like they’re from Lonely Sword Peak?!”

Someone said uncertainly.

“The Lonely Sword Peak? That drunken Peak?”

“We don’t seem to have a second Lonely Sword Peak in our Tianhe Sect!”

“If they really are from Lonely Sword Peak, then it makes sense! Frogs at the bottom of a well! Ha-ha!”

A few people burst out laughing, seemingly oblivious to the presence of the three.

“You guys…”

Shang YaoYao was so enraged she wanted to fight; although she didn’t think highly of Lonely Sword Peak herself, she wouldn’t let others speak ill of it, especially to her face.

Just as she was about to explode, Xu Mu grabbed her.

“Don’t bicker with these insignificant beings, there are too many people around. If you get caught by the Security Hall, it won’t be worth it!” Xu Mu warned her.

Personal warfare within the sect was prohibited, particularly in such gatherings. If she was caught on the spot even with Shang YaoYao’s status, it would spell trouble.

“Hmph! I’ll let them off this time!”

Understanding the situation, Shang YaoYao dropped the idea of raising a hand.

“When are you going to let go of my hand!”

After calming down, Shang YaoYao noticed Xu Mu’s hand holding hers, her face turning slightly red.

Being held by a man in the open, even with her thick skin, she couldn’t help being a little embarrassed.

Xu Mu didn’t find this awkward at all, but actually gave her hand a good squeeze, saying, “Your hand is quite comfortable to hold.”
