I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Li Xiangyi smiled, took the "Young Master" sword from Qiao Wanwan, and walked to the open space outside the pavilion. He untied the red silk, wrapped it around the sword, took a deep breath, and began to dance with the sword.

Under the moonlight, Li Xiangyi's figure was as nimble as a dragon, his red silk sword dancing in a dreamlike state. The sword flashed, the red silk fluttered, like a red dragon dancing in the air, sometimes soaring, sometimes swooping down, sometimes circling and turning, the changes were so numerous that the eyes were dizzying.

Qiao Wanwan was mesmerized by the sight. She had never seen such a wonderful sword dance before. Every move and look from Li Xiangyi made her heart beat faster and her breathing quicken.

After the sword dance ended, Li Xiangyi sheathed his sword and stood, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He walked over to Qiao Wanwan and asked softly, "Is it beautiful?"

"It looks good! It looks so good!" Qiao Wanwan said excitedly, with admiration in her eyes.

Li Xiangyi smiled and reached out to take Qiao Wanwan into his arms. The two of them snuggled together, quietly enjoying this beautiful night.

That night, looking around, the streets were completely empty. People poured into the streets, vying to witness this rare red silk sword dance.

Two years passed in a flash. The world of martial arts was in flux. Li Xiangyi, once the leader of the Four-Gu Sect, was now a world-renowned leader, unifying the martial arts world and reigning supreme.

His sword is as fast as lightning, sharp and unmatched, and no one can defeat him. The title of "the best swordsman in the world" is well deserved.

A tall tree attracts the wind, and there are always people who are dissatisfied with the title of "the best in the world".

Di Feisheng, the leader of the Golden Yuan League of the Demonic Cult, is one of them.

He is a martial arts expert and ambitious. He has always regarded Li Xiangyi as a thorn in his side and has repeatedly challenged him to compete with him.

But Li Xiangyi was dismissive. He was now in a high position, responsible for the safety of the entire martial arts world. He was already overwhelmed by dealing with various affairs every day. How could he have the leisure to care about these meaningless fights?

In his view, these challenges are nothing but tricks of those who seek fame and reputation and are meaningless.

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. Inside the Sigumen main altar, there was a peaceful atmosphere.

Li Xiangyi was reviewing official documents in the study when Qiao Wanwan walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand.

"Xiangyi, you have been busy until now. Drink a bowl of ginseng soup and take a rest." Qiao Wanwan put the ginseng soup on the table and said gently.

Li Xiangyi raised his head and saw Qiao Wanwan's concerned eyes. His heart warmed. He put down the brush in his hand, took the ginseng soup, and drank it all. "Sister, why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Qiao Wanwan walked up behind Li Xiangyi and gently massaged his shoulders. "Have you heard the recent rumors about you and Di Feisheng?"

Li Xiangyi frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "It's better not to listen to those boring rumors."

"But, Xiangyi, I always feel that this matter is not that simple." Qiao Wanwan stopped what she was doing, walked up to Li Xiangyi, and said seriously,

"Di Feisheng is extremely ambitious and cares a lot about his reputation. Now that he has announced his challenge to you, he will definitely not give up easily."

"If you keep avoiding the fight, I'm afraid he'll become even more unscrupulous and might even do something even more extreme."

Qiao Wanwan thought to herself: Di Feisheng's challenge may seem like just a personal grudge, but in fact it affects the situation of the entire martial arts world.

If Li Xiangyi keeps avoiding fighting, not only will Di Feisheng become arrogant, but people in the martial arts world will also think that Li Xiangyi is afraid of Di Feisheng, thus shaking his position as the leader.

More importantly, if Li Xiangyi readily accepted the challenge, then Shan Gudao wouldn't have the opportunity to fake his own death, and he would only have to prevent Yun Biqiu from poisoning him. This way, perhaps the tragedy in the plot could be avoided.

"Sister, do you mean that I should accept his challenge?" Li Xiangyi's tone was filled with surprise and confusion.

"That's right." Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Only by facing him head-on can you completely dispel his arrogance and let the people in the martial arts world see your determination and strength."

Li Xiangyi was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Qiao Wanwan's words. Qiao Wanwan continued:

"Xiang Yi, I know you're very busy right now, but this competition is crucial to you, to the Si Gu Clan, and even to the entire martial arts world. You can't ignore the overall situation for the sake of a momentary comfort."

When Li Xiangyi heard what Qiao Wanwan said, his heart was in turmoil.

"Sister, I don't want to do these meaningless things. If I accept his challenge, challengers will come to me one after another in the future. How will I manage Si Gu Men?"

Li Xiangyi's tone was full of helplessness and fatigue. He stood up suddenly, walked to the window, turned his back to Qiao Wanwan, looked at the scenery outside the window, and felt very annoyed.

Qiao Wanwan looked at Li Xiangyi's back and felt helpless.

In the past two years, although Li Xiangyi's martial arts skills have become increasingly higher and his status has become increasingly respected, his character has also become more and more conceited, and he is less and less willing to listen to other people's opinions.

Qiao Wanwan knew that he would not listen to anything she said now.

She sighed secretly and thought: It seems that I have to find another way.

If I don't find a good reason now, I won't be able to persuade him at all.

It seems that she has to keep a close eye on it all the time and not let others take advantage of it. Fortunately, her Mingyu Gong has reached the peak of the seventh level, and she is only one opportunity away from breaking through to the eighth level.

If she could break through to the eighth level, her strength would be further improved. At that time, even if something unexpected really happened, she would be able to protect Li Xiangyi.

Qiao Wanwan walked up to Li Xiangyi, patted his shoulder gently, and said:

"Xiang Yi, I know what you're thinking. But there are some things you can't escape just by wanting to."

"You are now the leader of the martial arts world, shouldering the safety of the entire martial arts world. Your every move is related to the fate of countless people. You can't just think about yourself, you have to think about the people of the world too."

"Sister, I..." Li Xiangyi was about to say something but was interrupted by Qiao Wanwan.

"Xiangyi, you don't have to say anything, I understand everything." Qiao Wanwan said gently,

"I know you're tired and want to rest. However, you also need to know that there are certain responsibilities you must shoulder. You can't give up on the world of martial arts just because you're tired for a moment."

Li Xiangyi looked at Qiao Wanwan, his heart filled with guilt. He knew that Qiao Wanwan had always been thinking about him, but he always let her down.

"Sister, I'm sorry." Li Xiangyi said in a low voice.

"Silly girl, why are you saying sorry to me?" Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Just remember, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Li Xiangyi nodded and gently held Qiao Wanwan in his arms. The two of them snuggled together quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
