I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Gu Lan took a deep breath and took a step forward.

The sand and gravel at her feet were instantly infused with spiritual power, swirling around her feet.

At this moment, the wind and time seemed to be frozen.

Lin Qingyu swung his sword forward, neither fast nor slow, heading straight for the door.

The wind and sand were blown in, making her eyelashes flutter. Gu Lan had no choice but to close her eyes and release her spiritual sense to observe.

When the sword was within reach, Gu Lan slowly swung the sword in his hand.

At first, there was no wind.

The sand is still.

Then, the wind blew violently.

The sand and stones seemed to be stirred by a hurricane, flying violently. The wind was like a knife, cutting the sand and stones, making a squeaking sound.

Then the sword light flew out rapidly like a bright meteor, and knocked Lin Qingyu's sword away.

The sword energies of the two sides collided first, and there was a loud bang.

Then, a burst of sparks shot out.

The resonating sword waves swept towards the audience.

The strong wind carrying sand and stones made everyone in the audience hurriedly use their sleeves to cover themselves.

But some viewers were not spared.

Flying sand suddenly rushed into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough."

The crowd who were not prepared were caught off guard.

Several people who were watching with their mouths wide open with great interest were then given a mouthful of sand and dirt, and they quickly turned sideways and spit.

"Ah, bah."

Spit out a mouthful of mud and sand.

"Oh my god, ugh."

Several disciples coughed for a long time, causing veins on their necks to bulge.

When she came to her senses, she saw Gu Lan standing steadily in the field with a sword in her hand. Her two sleeves were torn, and she looked a little disheveled. However, her upright posture was as firm as a pine or cypress, and she stood firmly in the field, which made people want to admire her.

"Hiss. Oh my god, the senior sister of Qianjimen is so handsome!"

"Fuck, I'm in love."

Lin Qingyu's lips were pale, and although she was standing, she was swaying slightly, like a delicate grass in the wind.

Compare the two and make a judgment.

"Tsk, my spirit stones, Lin Qingyu, you can't lose, I bet on you to win."

On one side, some were cheering for Gu Lan, while on the other side, some were shouting at Lin Qingyu to fight to the end.

Like boiling porridge, it is churning.

"Oh my god, I never thought that this Qianji Sect's senior sister is so capable."

"Yeah, ahhhh, ugh. It just made too much noise and got mud all over my mouth."

"You're right. I heard that Lin Qingyu is in the middle stage of fusion, and Gu Lan is in the early stage of fusion. There's no way they can fight like this."

"Yes, yes, it's amazing that you can still fight like this in the early stages."

Everyone looked sideways.

Xu Fengxi, Xue Hao, and Meng Xin were all filled with joy. They cheered excitedly along with the others behind them, and did not forget to make faces at the disciples of Tianyan Sect.

The audience was too noisy. Gu Lan felt annoyed. Her throat felt fishy and sweet, and she kept pushing it out. She must have suffered internal injuries, but she couldn't fall down at this time.

Taking a step forward, Gu Lan said angrily.

"Brother Lin, I don't think I have offended you in any way. Why did you want to kill me like this? The purpose of the fight is to learn from each other. There is no need to fight to the death! If I had not taken the sword just now, I would have been beheaded by now!"

Gu Lan had a bad look on his face, as if asking for an explanation.

Lin Qingyu was originally holding back his surging blood and was in great pain.

At this moment, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and vomited a mouthful of red blood with a "wow".

I felt better only after I vomited.

Lin Qingyu rubbed his chest and did not answer immediately.

When he swung the sword just now, he suffered a backlash and his meridians were in unbearable pain.

He had only used 50% of the strength in this sword, but some force invaded in the middle. He was no longer able to control it at that time, so he was swept away by that force and rushed straight forward. He wanted to find the trial master to stop him, but he hesitated.

If you call a halt at this time, no matter who is playing, you will admit defeat.

Lin Qingyu would certainly not agree, so he had to rush forward anyway.

Now that Gu Lan questioned him like this, he couldn't think of how to answer.

But the demon lord Xiangliu who was hiding in Lingyao's jade pendant sighed.

It seems that using the opponent's force to counter attack failed to hurt Gu Lan.

Xiangliu didn't expect that Gu Lan would actually take the sword. It was really beyond his expectations.

He had wanted to cooperate with Gu Lan before, but Gu Lan was very cunning. After taking her things, she helped Reincarnation Wood to destroy him.

At this moment, all the new and old grudges were settled together, and they wanted to deal with Gu Lan on the spot, but they never expected that she would resolve the problem.

Xiangliu felt both regretful and itchy at the same time.

It's a pity that I couldn't get rid of her to relieve my hatred. I felt itchy because Gu Lan's qualifications were better than Lingyao.

If I could possess her and seduce her every day, I would surely succeed.

It’s just that Xiangliu hasn’t found a good opportunity, so maybe he can only take it step by step at this point.

Xiangliu's thoughts were extremely secretive, and he never revealed a single bit of them in front of Lingyao.

Therefore Lingyao never doubted him.

Lingyao, who was watching all this in the audience, had an extremely ugly look on her face.

Lin Qingyu's sword just now could clearly hurt Gu Lan, but it was taken by Gu Lan.

This was a huge shock to Lingyao.

Because the power of this sword cannot be underestimated.

If it were her, she might not be able to block it all.

What's more, Gu Lan not only blocked it, but also didn't suffer any injury at all.

It can be seen from her upright posture like a pine tree that perhaps she is quite capable of doing it.

As for Lin Qingyu, he seemed to have suffered considerable trauma after that sword strike.

I don't know if I can launch another attack.

The more Lingyao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Each of them is so useless.

Or maybe he was so close to Gu Lan that she couldn't sow discord between them.

Or he can instigate, but his ability is limited and the damage caused is not great; not only that, it can also serve to highlight Gu Lan.

Lingyao was so angry that she was fuming, and the ribbon in her hand was torn into pieces by her anger.

Lingyao stamped her feet and left the table angrily.

She went to find Ling Yebai. He had successfully broken the mirror before, so he should be recuperating now.

Lingyao, who was leaving the scene, didn't see that in an inconspicuous corner, Ling Yebai was quietly blending in with the crowd.

Today, he did not wear his signature lotus robe, but was dressed like an ordinary disciple.

Not ostentatious or showy.

Still attracted a lot of attention.

But his expression was cold and others did not dare to disturb him.

Only Ji Yanliruo seemed to look in this direction a few times.

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a subtle electric current in the air, crackling and flashing.

Men's intuition is quite sharp.

Ji Yanli had already figured out what was going on from Ling Yebai's abnormal behavior.

Ling Yebai's thoughts are not difficult to guess.

There are not many female cultivators like Gu Lan.

Ji Yanli watched Gu Lan grow step by step to what she is today.

He had met Gu Lan a long time ago and had some impression of her.

That was his first time participating in a sect competition.

This was also the first time that Qianji Sect participated in the sect competition.

All the disciples of Qianji Sect who have not yet established their foundation were arranged by Shenyin Sect in the lowest courtyard. With the help of Shenyin Sect's spiritual power, he saw several people from Qianji Sect practicing madly, but because the time was too short, they were unable to break the mirror.

That's how they were defeated as soon as they appeared on the stage.

It caused a lot of discussion and jokes.

At that time, Gu Lan was cautious, like a wrinkled bean sprout, and worry gathered into a knot between her brows.

That was the first time Ji Yanli noticed her.

Now... Ji Yanli's gaze returned to the competition arena.

Gu Lan, who looked like a little bean sprout, seemed to have been reborn.

When did this start to change?
