The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Two days later, in the early morning, the sun cast mottled shadows through the branches of the fairy tree. Xuan Yi had already been waiting beside the Sword Light Divine Tree on Jianfeng. His eyes looked into the distance from time to time, as if he was expecting someone to come. When Lu Qingxi's figure appeared in his sight, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Junior brother, have you been here for a long time?" Lu Qingxi approached and greeted Xuan Yi politely.

"I've just been here not long ago either." Xuan Yi replied with a smile, his eyes sparkling with sincerity.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Xuan Yi led Lu Qingxi to their daily sword practice place - a valley that was almost transparent due to the sword energy. Xuan Yi quietly guided Lu Qingxi to practice according to his sword method. At first, the movements were slow and clear. Gradually, he sped up the speed, wanting Lu Qingxi to adapt better. After more than half a month, Lu Qingxi's swordsmanship really improved a lot, which made Xuan Yi very pleased.

However, when Xuan Yi tried to increase the speed and difficulty again, he found that Lu Qingxi could not keep up with his pace. He looked at her struggling and felt anxious. Lu Qingxi also felt her own shortcomings. She tried hard to keep up with Xuan Yi's speed, but she was always unable to do so. After practicing for seven days, there was no progress at all.

Xiao Liu saw this and understood that this was because Lu Qingxi's spiritual veins were too low, and that continuing to practice like this would not have much effect. It privately told Lu Qingxi not to push herself too hard. After hearing this, Lu Qingxi felt even more distressed for the original owner. She thought that she had been practicing for less than a month and already felt exhausted, while the original owner had practiced for three years before giving up.

Therefore, Lu Qingxi decided to give up improving her swordsmanship. She didn't want to waste time. She put away the Fangruo Sword and said to Xuan Yi, "Junior brother, I want to rest for a few days and adjust my condition." Although Xuan Yi was a little disappointed, he still respected her decision and nodded to show his understanding.

Not far away, Song Hanyi was also practicing nearby. He naturally heard the conversation between the two, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. Previously, he had some expectations for Lu Qingxi because he saw her getting up early every day to practice sword, and she used all her strength in every move. However, in just less than a month, she chose to give up, which made Song Hanyi feel a little disappointed. He thought to himself, she is still the same unlearned and unskilled person.

At this time, the sound of the woman and her brother discussing behind him interrupted Song Hanyi's thoughts. He turned around and saw Mu Jingxuan and her brother talking excitedly. After hearing what her brother said, Mu Jingxuan spoke even more excitedly: "Really? It seems that we haven't watched the opera since we sneaked out of the palace when we were eight years old! It has become popular again recently, so let's go in the next few days!"

After she finished speaking, she realized that her voice was a little loud. She covered her mouth in embarrassment and looked around. She felt relieved. Fortunately, only the inner peak disciples were practicing sword again. When she saw Song Hanyi, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Big Brother, do you want to go to the human world to watch the excerpts these days? I tell you, it's very interesting! I watched it once when I was a child and it has always been impressive!" She gestured with her hands while speaking, looking very cute.

However, Song Hanyi still looked cold. He waited for Mu Jingxuan to finish speaking before saying, "No need." Then he continued to practice swordplay. Seeing Song Hanyi's attitude, Mu Jingxuan's face fell and she muttered to herself, "But the excerpt is really good."

Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi watched this scene, each with their own thoughts. Although Lu Qingxi had never seen the Zhezi Opera, she couldn't help but become interested in it after hearing Mu Jingxuan's description. She unconsciously said aloud: "Zhezi Opera." Xuan Yi immediately turned his head to look at her and found that her eyes were not on him, but seemed to be imagining the scene of the Zhezi Opera. He was about to ask, but heard Lu Qingxi say: "Junior brother, I am a little tired today, I want to go back first."

Xuan Yi opened his mouth and finally said only one word: "Okay." He watched Lu Qingxi's back as he left, and a sense of inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Xuan Yi had just keenly caught Lu Qingxi's interest in the excerpt. He knew that for practitioners, occasional entertainment was also a good way to regulate the body and mind. Therefore, when Mu Jingchen was about to leave, he decisively put away the long sword in his hand, walked to Mu Jingchen's side, and asked softly about the specific time of the excerpt. After learning the exact date, he thanked Mu Jingchen, then turned around and left, with a plan in mind.

Three days later, when the sun was shining brightly, Xuan Yi appeared outside Lu Qingxi's yard again. He sent a message to the people in the room as before, and whispered to Lu Qingxi that he had something to discuss. After hearing the message, Lu Qingxi walked out of the room in confusion, and when he saw Xuan Yi, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Xuan Yi walked up to Lu Qingxi with a smile and said softly, "Senior Sister, I heard that there will be a short play tomorrow. I wonder if you are interested in going with me?" When Lu Qingxi heard the news, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She nodded, with an expectant expression on her face.

Seeing Lu Qingxi's happy look, Xuan Yi also curled up his lips unconsciously. However, he soon thought of a problem. If he left with Lu Qingxi, it might attract the attention of others. So, after saying goodbye to Lu Qingxi, he turned around and went to the valley where he practiced sword every day.

Sure enough, in the valley, he saw Song Hanyi practicing swordplay. Xuan Yi walked up to Song Hanyi and waited until he finished practicing a set of swordplay before explaining his intentions: "Brother, I plan to take Sister Lu to watch an opera tomorrow. Can you help cover it up?"

Song Hanyi was a little surprised when he heard Xuan Yi's request. He had always thought that Xuan Yi was a loner who never asked for help easily. Now, he actually asked for help from him in order to take Lu Qingxi out. He recalled the scene when he saw Xuan Yi and Lu Qingxi practicing sword together before. He thought it was just Lu Qingxi's request, but now it seems that things are not simple.

Song Hanyi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Since Lu Qingxi asked him to set up a defensive formation last time, she has never come to him again. He thought Lu Qingxi was just busy with cultivation, but now it seems that she prefers to be with Xuan Yi. However, it is a good thing for him that she does not come to him, so he nodded and agreed to Xuan Yi's request.

Xuan Yi was relieved to see Song Hanyi agreed, as he knew that Song Hanyi was a man who would keep his word. So, after thanking Song Hanyi, he turned around and left, preparing to go watch the opera with Lu Qingxi tomorrow.
