She found the edge of the arena where the disciples of Lingyun Sect were and watched quietly.

The disciples of Lingyun Sect were dressed in simple black robes, and the swords in their hands flashed from time to time. The one on the stage was a female cultivator from Baihua Valley. She was holding a red silk in her hand, waving it gracefully from time to time.

Gu Liyue felt that Lingyun Sect would win this match. She looked at the female cultivator from Baihua Valley seriously. She did not seem panicky in her every move, but rather calm and composed, and her moves were fierce.

It seems that this game will be unexpected, right?

She stood in the audience and watched carefully. Sure enough, just when the sword cultivator was full of momentum and wanted to force the female cultivator off the stage with one move, the female cultivator jumped into the air and avoided the sword tip.

She leaped behind the sword cultivator, swung the red silk, and struck the sword cultivator from behind with a powerful spiritual force. The sword cultivator was originally trying his best to rush forward, but this blow accelerated his speed and sent him flying out of the arena.

This sword cultivator is probably a straightforward person without any scheming.

Gu Liyue left the arena again. She still wanted to see the monk's skills.

Walking to the arena where monks were competing, she focused her eyes on the stage and didn't notice anyone else.

"Gu Liyue." A familiar voice sounded.

She looked to the side and found that it was Jingxu. He was standing aside with a group of monks, still smiling.

"Jingxu, come and watch the game too." Gu Liyue said.

She just glanced at Jingxu and then focused her attention on the stage.

"Yeah, I'll come and take a look."

The battle on the stage was in full swing. Looking at the monk holding a staff in his hand, he was waving the staff and fighting with a swordsman.

Gu Liyue looked at it and asked Jingxu, "Your Wanfo Temple uses quite a variety of weapons."

Jingxu stared at the stage and replied, "These are just methods. Every Buddhist practitioner has different preferences and strengths. They have little to do with the techniques."

At this moment, Nie Hengzhou hurried over and called out, "Yue."

Gu Liyue's expression changed slightly, and she turned back to look at him: "Heng Zhou."

Nie Hengzhou walked between Gu Liyue and Jingxu, blocking Jingxu's view. He turned his head and looked at Jingxu: "What is the name of this master?"

"My name is Jingxu. What's your name?"

"I am Nie Hengzhou, the head of the Xuantian Sect's Weapon Refining Peak."

As soon as Jingxu heard how they addressed each other, he knew their relationship must be complicated.

Seeing the possessiveness in Nie Hengzhou's eyes, he understood: "So it's Peak Master Nie. I've heard a lot about you. I didn't expect you to be so handsome and so young."

Nie Hengzhou said modestly, "Master, thank you for your kind words."

Jingxu vaguely felt that Nie Hengzhou had some hostility towards him. He couldn't help but search his memory and found that he had never had any contact with him before?

He looked up at Gu Liyue and found that her figure was completely blocked by Nie Hengzhou, and he couldn't see her at all. Suddenly, an idea came to him. It was because of Gu Liyue, but there was nothing he could do as a monk! Wasn't this person being too cautious?

At this moment, Gu Liyue didn't think too much, her attention was on the stage.

The monk on the stage stood with one palm, chanted a Buddhist chant, and a golden light flashed across his body, which bounced back the opponent's sword energy.

The sword cultivator didn't expect that the attack he used with all his strength would be rebounded back to himself. He tried to disperse the sword energy in a panic, took a few steps back, and was injured on the shoulder by the remaining sword energy.

Finally, he was knocked off the stage by a magic staff.

Gu Liyue just turned her eyes away from the stage and wanted to congratulate Jingxu, but turned around and found that Jingxu's figure was blocked by Nie Hengzhou. She frowned and glanced at Nie Hengzhou, and saw that he lowered his eyes.

Gu Liyue stepped forward and looked at Jingxu and said, "Jingxu, congratulations, your team has won another three points."

Jingxu smiled, and when he saw Nie Hengzhou holding Gu Liyue's hand, his smile became even wider.

"Thank you, Gu Liyue."

When Nie Hengzhou heard Jingxu addressing Gu Liyue, he held Gu Liyue's hand and squeezed it. Gu Liyue rubbed his hand with her thumb helplessly, and felt that Nie Hengzhou became obedient.

Then she took him and said goodbye to Jingxu.

Returning to her cave, she looked at Nie Hengzhou and said, "Didn't we have a good talk last night? What are you still worried about?"

Nie Hengzhou lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I... I don't know why, I'm just worried that you will leave me."

Gu Liyue said with a half-smile: "If your behavior affects my daily communication with others, I might leave you!"

Nie Hengzhou became nervous upon hearing this, and then he heard Gu Liyue say, "Actually, our relationship is still very stable. I'm a person who doesn't like trouble. If it affects my life, I might consider breaking it off."

Nie Hengzhou looked at her steadily.

"Actually, I'm very happy to be with you. Our relationship is almost public in Xuantian Sect. There's no need for you to be so nervous. Nervousness will only make you lose your composure."

Nie Hengzhou said, "I understand. This won't happen again. I care about you too much."

When Gu Liyue heard his words, she felt like she had a bad premonition.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I will do what I promised you. Jingxu and I are just ordinary friends."

"I know, but it's a bit annoying to see him smiling." He muttered softly.

Gu Liyue glared at him, "I'm a monk, I know how to behave. I'm not like you and Feng Yu, you didn't handle your relationship well before."

Seeing that she had even revealed Feng Yu's affairs, Nie Hengzhou took her hand and said, "I understand everything. I won't let anyone misunderstand me again, and I won't interfere with your friendships."

Gu Liyue was worried that he might be going too far, so she added, "The interactions between you and Yun Lizhi are normal behavior."

Seeing that she didn't pull her hand back, Nie Hengzhou said, "Okay, I understand."

As he spoke, he came closer and kissed her on the cheek. Gu Liyue looked up at him, raised her hand, and rubbed the small red mole at the corner of his left eye with her index finger. She took her finger away and felt that the small red mole had become even redder. She also kissed him.

She sighed and murmured, "I'm really afraid that you won't know your limits and will mess up our relationship!"

After hearing this, Nie Hengzhou recalled his own behavior and felt that he was so childish that it was a bit ridiculous.

He held Gu Liyue in his arms and said, "I won't do this again. From now on, we'll talk about everything openly. Even if we have to...break up, we have to say it clearly, okay?"

Feeling the bitterness in his words, Gu Liyue said, "Okay."

Seeing Gu Liyue nodding vigorously, Nie Hengzhou smiled and felt relieved.

The combat power competition of the disciple group is over. Xuantian Sect ranks second, only two points behind Lingyun Sect.

Such an achievement also surprised other sects and families. They did not expect that the disciples of Xuantian Sect were so powerful.
