Morning Star

"I had no choice. Besides, I'm your master. Can you bear to see an old man like me repairing windows in the wind? Wouldn't your conscience hurt?"

"..."

An old man? Would an old man walk around with a face that looks like he's in his twenties all day?

Mo Xinglan glanced at the pitiful Qu Ling Zun and continued to drink a spoonful of soup: "What is conscience? I don't have any."

Venerable Qu Ling: “…”

It seems that this old man really needs to repair the window today.

After all, he was the respected Master Qu Ling by everyone in Hualing Continent, but he didn't expect that he would have to repair a broken window here.

Everyone else respectfully called him "Venerable", but he, his disciple, was the only one who always looked down on him, which made him suddenly feel that he was no longer the Venerable respected by everyone.

Venerable Qu Ling wanted to struggle a little longer.

In a negotiating tone, he smiled as he watched Mo Xinglan finish his soup and get up to put on his coat: "My dear disciple, how about..."

"I'm going to the competition arena, and I'll leave the window to Master." Mo Xinglan put on his coat, tied his hair, and walked out without looking back.

Venerable Qu Ling said loudly to Mo Xinglan's receding back, "No, I made you a blood-replenishing soup. Let's discuss it. Hey! Good disciple!"

"..."

Looking at the receding figure, Venerable Qu Ling's previously aggrieved expression gradually calmed down. He glanced at the window that was only left with a frame, and then looked at the empty bowl on the table.

Finally sighed.

……

After yesterday's competition, only 16 people were left. The numbers were drawn as before.

According to the symmetry of the beginning and the end, the ninth day is number 6. Her opponent, number 11, is a thin man.

"Miss Third, I'm sorry." The man clasped his fists.

"Please teach me." Chujiu curled his lips slightly.

After saying that, the two started fighting.

After a few moves, the two men distanced themselves from each other.

Each of them had a rough idea of ​​the other's strength.

Chujiu looked at the man in front of her. Although he was in the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, he obviously had more combat experience than her.

Fortunately, she learned a lot from her master in that month, and she listened to her brother's explanation yesterday, so she is not nervous at all now.

A quarter of an hour later, Chujiu won the competition. Although it was not as easy as the first game, it was a great success.

She just happened to practice some of the moves that Chu Wenxuan taught her yesterday when competing with this man.

Finish work.

Today is also a relaxing day.

On the third day, Chujiu's opponent was a person who had reached the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm after the second match. Although he was a little weaker than Chujiu in terms of strength, he had more combat experience than Chujiu. So Chujiu did not have an easy fight at all and was injured in many places. Fortunately, the opponent had just reached the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm and had not yet completely stabilized, so she won in the end.

Today is no longer an easy day.

Although the wounds on his body were very painful, Chujiu did not relax and continued to watch other people's competitions as usual.

There were discussions from the audience, the sounds of spiritual energy colliding during the competition on the stage, and the shouts and applause when someone they supported won the competition. In short, it was very lively.

The sun gradually set amid the noise of the crowd, and the day's competition came to an end.

Chujiu prayed that he could win the competition tomorrow like he had in the past three days.

Next up is the competition from four to two, which means tomorrow she will either win and move into the top two, or she will lose and compete in the final competition for third place.

And in the next two games, with her ability to take shortcuts, she's going to suffer a lot.

She began to pray silently again, hoping that she would not meet the most powerful one even if it meant losing a layer of skin.

As she was praying silently, she heard a strange muffled sound. Chu Wenxuan and Chu Furong beside her also heard the sound and turned their heads to look at her strangely.

Chujiu stopped and froze in place. The feeling under his feet was a little soft, a little sticky, a little... a little like...

She lowered her head nervously and raised her left foot.

The next second, her facial expression became hideous and distorted, and she gasped as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt of 100,000 volts. Her little face turned red and then white, then white and then green, and then green and then white again.

Chu Furong subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose and moved a few steps to the side: "Third, Third Sister, you..."

"..."

Chujiu slowly raised his head and looked at her bitterly, his lips trembling as he turned his head to look at Chu Wenxuan on the other side.

Chu Wenxuan also covered his nose and took a step to the side. But he quickly reacted, a look of confusion flashed across his face, and he stopped his steps to get away from her.

"..."

Should she be touched or sad?

Chujiu chuckled, pouted, and walked towards Chu Wenxuan pitifully: "Brother..."

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaojiu..." Seeing that she was about to walk towards him, Chu Wenxuan reflexively took a step back.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

He is undoubtedly my brother.

Chu Wenxuan realized his subconscious action, coughed awkwardly, glanced at the eye-catching scene, and then looked at his little sister who looked aggrieved and seemed to be about to cry. He quickly reached out and rubbed her head to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just stepping on, stepping on... uh..."

He immediately pretended to be angry before he finished speaking: "Whose dog urinated and defecated anywhere? How uneducated! When I get home, I'll tell Dad about this and ask him to add a rule to the clan rules that prohibits cats and dogs from urinating and defecating anywhere."

"..."

Chujiu felt that his wounded heart was not comforted.

He actually wanted to tell Dad. If Dad knew, Mom would definitely know too.

Woohoo... everyone knows she stepped in dog shit!

On the other side, Chu Furong covered her face with her hands and looked a little embarrassed after hearing Chu Wenxuan's words which seemed to be comforting Chu Jiu.

Oh, brother, please stop talking. If you continue, my third sister will cry.

After stepping on dog shit, Chujiu felt terrible.

Chujiu finally returned to Taoyuan's bedroom with his head hung down.

She sat on the chair, leaning back, looking up at the beams with despair. Her mind was filled with the dog shit that she had barely wiped clean by rubbing the floor with all her strength.

This appearance scared Green Ivy, and her little face turned pale.

Afraid that Chujiu would die, he quickly grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

Chujiu was swayed left and right by her as if he had no bones.

At this moment, Luoluo seemed to see a ball of white gas floating out of Chujiu's mouth. She was so scared that she quickly covered Chujiu's mouth with her hands.

"Little... Sister, wake up quickly. Your soul has escaped."

Chujiu slowly woke up, looked at Luluo dully, and muttered to himself: "I stepped on dog shit..."

Green radish: “…”

……

After a while, Chujiu returned to normal.

It was the green radish that did everything it could to coax her with the candied dates. Otherwise, it would have to be green radish.

Chujiu was so coaxed by Luluo that he completely stopped thinking about stepping on dog poop. He was eating candied dates and thinking about the next competition.

The people who made it to the semi-finals were indeed the ones she had guessed before.

Besides her, there is her second sister Chu Furong, Chu Xia who has a deep hatred for her, and Gao Yashan, the grandson of the great elder.

Among these three people, only Chu Xia can barely deal with her... right?

Although Chu Furong was also in the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, her combat experience was many times greater than hers. Moreover, Chu Furong had been in the middle stage for some time, so she should be at the same level as Gao Yashan.

As for Chuxia, although she is also in the middle stage, she has more experience than her.

The strength is similar, but the experience gap is large.

Moreover, Chu Xia seems to hate the original owner very much, so every move she makes must be ruthless.

How to do?

But she still has a chance of winning.

Who will I meet tomorrow?

No, she couldn't just sit here and daydream, she had to cram for the exam.

Buddha: Don’t get involved.

There was a determined light in Chujiu's eyes, and he stood up and walked out the door.

No matter who she met, she had to be in the top three. This was the agreement between her and Mo Xinglan.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Luluo asked, "Little...sister, aren't you going to take a rest?"

Luoluo still couldn't change her way of calling her sister.

Chujiu said as he walked: "Luluo, please tell my parents that they don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight. I'm going out for a while."

"Eh? Where are you going? You have a competition tomorrow." Luoluo worriedly asked behind him.

Chujiu waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't be late."
