Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 413: Liuhetai

It was the first time that Pei Ye was so eager to escape from a place, but he had to pretend that nothing had happened. Fortunately, a sudden shout from below saved him. Pei Ye flipped a few pages back, but saw nothing.

He closed the booklet and threw it back on the plate, then looked down: "Oh, the fight has started."

Qu Xin withdrew his gaze without saying a word and also looked out the window. Pei Ye was actually grateful for the act of letting him go.

On the sword platform, a man in green and a man in purple slowly walked up and stood still ten feet apart.

Chi Longyun, the Five Swordsman, was 24 years old, eight lives, and in the Sword Dao Spirit Realm. If one were to name the three strongest swordsmen in the competition, this would be the first name that many people would mention.

He is gifted and has been traveling around the world since he was seventeen. He has become famous in the sword competitions of all sizes in the city every year. In fact, many people are surprised that he did not get a direct invitation letter.

However, some people also said that he refused this qualification himself.

In any case, this man in purple is already standing here. Actually, starting from this match, except for Su Xingke, the winning points of the seven people in the next four matches are enough to be included in the list. However, on the one hand, they have to complete the last round to decide who may be challenged by the unsuccessful people, and on the other hand, the performance before being included in the list actually affects the ranking when being included.

This is a very, very important thing.

Although the Golden Book will be jointly agreed upon tomorrow, it is clear that these seventy-two people will not be organized to fight in rounds until the end. In fact, the reason why the roll call of the Jade Sword Stage before sunset today attracted so much attention is because it is a ranking in itself.

The Jade Sword Platform Compilation Committee will give a preliminary ranking today based on their understanding and assessment, i.e. "where the Compilation Committee thinks you should rank".

Without giving it too much thought, one would know that this order would definitely affect the revision of the Jade Sword Platform tomorrow, and it might even be the basis for the revision of the Jade Sword Platform tomorrow.

Where does the revision committee’s understanding of each individual come from?
Apart from these already famous geniuses holding letters, others naturally had to fight calmly and beautifully on the sword stage. If Chi Longyun really did not receive the letter, it must be that he had made great progress recently and wanted to perform well on the stage and get a higher ranking.

But unfortunately, his luck didn't seem to be very good, and the opponent in front of him was not strong enough.

Su Xing of Mingzhu Waterside was a very young boy, dressed in green, standing on the stage, occasionally tilting his head to look at the audience below and upstairs. The "Swordsman Collection" in the wooden tray said that he was just eighteen years old, and this was his first time going down the mountain. He had won four battles in the past, and his most important opponent was Zhu Wenyuan from Feiyan Sword Sect.

This is also the reason why he is not included in the list yet.

Originally, no matter who it was, it would be enough to win one more game, but unfortunately he had to face Chi Longyun.

The ones who received direct invitations to the Five Swords Blessed Land were Yan Bingjian and Qu Ying, but generally speaking, Yan Bingjian was slightly better than Chi Longyun, while Chi Longyun was clearly better than Qu Ying. Chi Longyun was the face of the Five Swords Blessed Land.

Su Xingke is the youngest and the last in ranking among the four people in Mingzhu Waterside. As Jianmen itself is low-key, except for the current generation's [Mingzhu Guard] Qi Mengchen, the remaining three have not received the sword box. However, people are still familiar with the name of [Silent Sword] Zuo Sheng. Many people think that he is actually stronger than Qi Mengchen, but [Mingzhu Guard] is a figure on the stage, so this sword fanatic is ranked second.

However, he was scheduled to play in the last match and had to face Wang Jinhong of Yuquan Mountain, so he was unable to go head-to-head with Chi Longyun.

So this is not a good draw for both of them.

A huge banner flew down, showing the age records of the two men. This segment became longer and longer as time went on. Pei Ye was waiting for the opening of this scene, when suddenly his ears moved - two footsteps accompanied by conversation stepped into the outside of the pavilion.

Curious, I stood up and looked out the small window. A beautiful woman in a green dress and a slender sword walked in holding a cat, and the delicate hairpin in her hair swayed gently.

[Counting Butterflies Sleeping on Flowers] Nan Guannu.

The woman next to him has a gentle temperament, wearing white clothes and a black belt, holding a sword and a book. If Nan Guannu is a peacock, then this person is a white crane.

Pei Ye then realized that the room was vacant because someone had reserved it.

----

There are eighteen floors in total in Zhijian Tower. When you reach the top floor, all the hustle and bustle seems to be in the world below. In fact, this floor is called "Liuhetai" with three particulars: high up to withstand wind and rain, overlooking the mortal world, and talented people are like cranes.

The name "Zhijian Tower" represents the kind of people it receives, and the design of the entire building is even more so - a high platform with no railings, few stairs between floors, long eaves for sale, and plates made of gold and iron. This is a towering tree planted specifically for the world of martial arts, and it takes a lot of effort for ordinary people to climb up, as it is a place for cranes and ducks to stay.

The highest level is only reserved for true talents.

It is also the best place to watch swords today.

There is no need to fight for this position. Xiang Zongyuan sent invitations to several other sword sects yesterday. Today, everyone will come here to look at the sword book announcement together.

When the two men came up, the silk curtains fluttered, the wind blew in all directions, and the spacious platform was empty.

"Sure enough, we are the first ones." The two sat down at the table beside the railing. Nan Guannu leaned back and smiled, "At first glance, He Tianyu is also in his late fifties. But there is a man named Zhao Qizhi in Feiyan Sword Sect."

"The one that's nervous?"

"Yes! I watched him perform three times, and every time he got on stage, his legs shook with nervousness." Nan Guannu laughed, "This guy has little background, but judging by his talent, I think he can make it to forty."

"Well, actually, I think that the test of the competition is 'realized talent', and if you can be among the seventy-two people, as long as you are young and your cultivation is weak, it shouldn't be a big deal."

“But if you want to be at the front, you must be young and strong enough.”

"nature."

"So, is your junior fellow apprentice such a person?"

The woman in white immediately smiled and kept silent: "The fight will start soon, and we are still investigating."

"I don't know Chi Longyun well, why are you asking me about this? We were just chatting, why are you overthinking this?"

The woman in white did not answer, but lowered her head to drink tea and turn the pages.

At this time, firm and neat footsteps were heard from the door, and a tall figure in black appeared in the field of vision. She rarely carried a sword on her back on such occasions.

Five Swords Blessed Land, Qu Ying.

It is said that she is the most hardworking and tenacious person in the Five Swords Land. She does not often appear in the center of social circles, but everyone in the Five Swords Land says that she has suffered unimaginable hardships for her art.

The two of them looked over. They were familiar with this heroic woman. They had seen her several times at the sword meeting in previous years, but they never spoke to her. Nan Guannu stood up to greet him. Qu Ying clasped his fists and saluted, then sat down at the table next to him. The woman in white remembered who she often chatted with, and said, "Senior Brother Zuosheng will be the last one in this competition."

Qu Ying was startled, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."

There was silence on the stage for a moment, and less than five breaths later, light and even footsteps were heard on the stairs again.

The young man who appeared had the same temperament as the footsteps. His hair was neatly tied up, his clothes were simple and clean, and every detail of his eyebrows and temples was neatly trimmed. As soon as he appeared, he held his sword and bowed, performing a very proper martial arts salute to the three people.

The three people present had received his message two quarters of an hour ago - when the other competitions had just entered the middle and late stages, the North Competition had already ended easily and neatly, and the winner was [Golden Scaled] Bai Fei.

The second most important person on this trip to Yuquan Mountain.

"Brother Bai hasn't got the sword letter, so it doesn't matter if he makes mistakes in compiling the book, but it has caused the swordsmen in the Northern Arena to wail in grief." Nan Guannu said with a smile.

Bai Fei immediately bowed earnestly: "Don't say that. Every person who received the letter is better than me. How can I miscalculate? And there must be a teacher among three people. Beilei Junjie taught me a lot. Chengzhang is very grateful."

Nan Guannu secretly glanced at the woman opposite, meaning "Look, let me tell you", and the woman in white looked a little surprised.

Bai Fei found a low-key corner, put his hands flat, sat upright and looked down.

"So gentle." The woman in white said to herself.

Then a voice as soft as autumn leaves came from the door: "Mengchen, am I not gentle and elegant?"

Nan Guannu just took a sip of tea and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth, looking out the window as if nothing had happened.

Qi Mengchen on the opposite side had already lowered his head and held his forehead with his hand, continuing to turn the pages with an expressionless face.

A melancholy man walked up slowly, with his hair hanging down and his sword slanting, his eyes like autumn water, and the whole person looked like he had just walked out of a painting. He stepped onto Liuhetai, but seemed to see nothing, with only Qi Mengchen in his eyes.

He staggered forward, looked at the woman in white with infatuation, and said, "Mengchen, when will you be willing to play a life-and-death sword game with me?"

Zhigu Pavilion, [Sword of Love] Song Zhishu.

No one had expected that as a local weapon manufacturer who shared Shaolong equally with Yangyi Tower, they could actually cultivate a young man with such an outstanding talent for swordsmanship.

He also didn't get the sword box, but he was one of the "three strongest outside the twenty-two". Now he came here after winning the South Second Arena, only a quarter of a second slower than Bai Fei.

Everyone who was defeated by him was unscathed. He put away his sword in the final arena and said worriedly: "Since I can't kill you, I don't bother to hurt you."

Bai Fei stood up and bowed earnestly: "Brother Song, you are very gentle."

Song Zhishu slowly turned his eyes and stared at him as he walked over: "Those who know me well! Do you also think that if you can't end your life with a sword, then life is meaningless?"

"No, no, Brother Song, your body and hair are all given by your parents."

Nan Guannu was glad that he had swallowed the tea just now.

The next ones to come up were Xiang Zongyuan and Cui Zijie.

"Xi Tianji indeed did not come. Only two fifth-born children came from Kongtong this time, and their talents were not very impressive. I sent someone to deliver the invitation, but it was politely declined on the spot." Xiang Zongyuan said.

Just like his name [Ku Feng], this man is always like an old tree and an ancient well, as if nothing is ever worth being surprised about.

Cui Zijie's eyes were as bright as swords. The moment he stepped onto the stage, he swept across everyone present and said, "It's embarrassing to be here. Qisheng, who is 20 years old, hasn't even entered the spiritual realm with his sword."

Completely different from Xiang Zongyuan, this young man looks like the most upright swordsman at first glance. If he looks down on you, he won't even look at you even if you kneel before him; but if he recognizes you as a friend, even if you are a demon, he will dare to talk and laugh with you in public.

The first in Yuquan Mountain, [Heaven-Given Feathers] Cui Zijie, 19 years old, 8th life, spiritual realm, "Mayfly Transformation" has been passed down for 70 years, and the 699th on the duck list. He is the only one in the entire Yuquan Mountain who has received the letter, but everyone knows that he will definitely bring a top three place to Yuquan Mountain.

When these two people stepped on the platform, Liuhetai seemed to be heavier immediately. The floating feeling brought by Song Zhishu disappeared without a trace. The two top-notch geniuses of Shaolong did not speak or act in a tit-for-tat manner, but everyone felt the atmosphere become tense.

"It's not that bad. Xi Tianji is only a year or so behind. His cultivation and swordsmanship are both stuck. We'll do it next year. He should have a letter." Xiang Zongyuan said, "Also, I always feel that he is tied up with other things. The last time I saw him, I found that his sword talent was much better than I thought, but I don't know why he lags behind the top ones."

Cui Zijie looked straight ahead and said, "In the entire Kongtong, I only admire Ji Zhuowu."

Xiang Zongyuan nodded and smiled faintly: "But Ji Zhuowu seems to look down on Kongtong - this is the third year of his trip, and I heard he hasn't returned yet."

The two men came closer and several people greeted them. Bai Fei stood up and saluted: "Hello, Mr. Xiang."

"Hello, Mr. Bai."

He called out again, "Junior brother."

Cui Zijie raised his sword towards him: "Yes."

I walked over there and soon heard a low conversation.

"Master Xi is still one year older than you, so don't keep talking nonsense." "What a crappy position you picked."

But soon the whispers were drowned out by a tsunami that suddenly rose below.

At this moment, this tall building became a small boat in the ocean. Waves hit it one after another. Everyone tilted their heads to look and saw a large flying sword platform with thick ink characters accompanying the name: "Su Xingke of the Pearl Waterside Pavilion vs. Chi Longyun of the Five Swords Blessed Land, a decisive battle!"

Amid the cheers, the man in blue drew his sword and rushed towards the man who was slowly drawing his sword.

".It turns out that he is already eight years old. What a talent." Nan Guannu said, "The talents of your family in recent years are really enviable."

Qi Mengchen did not answer. She closed the book and leaned back, looking at the stage below with a little nervousness.
