This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

The next day.

The Zhan Yue Sect resounded with the sounds of gongs and drums, and the spirit beasts cried out in unison.

Today is the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament, held every three years.

At this moment, countless people flocked to Guanwutai, and within just a few hours, Guanwu Mountain was already overcrowded.

"The participants in this martial arts tournament are all hidden talents. I heard that several disciples at the King Realm will be participating."

"Senior Brother Li Tianjian and Senior Brother Gu Qinghe from Tian Shu Peak, Senior Brother Wan Hai from Tian Hun Peak, Senior Sister Jiang Yixue from Yu Ling Peak, and Senior Brother Tang Ming from Qing Yu Peak."

"These individuals have all reached the King-level realm and possess the qualifications to win the championship."

"And there's my Senior Sister Qingyi! Senior Sister Qingyi is a sword prodigy. Even Senior Brother Tianjian can't match her skill in swordsmanship."

"The fairy's talent is indeed among the best in the Zhan Yue Sect, but she is still a bit younger than these others..."

"By the way, speaking of Fairy Qingyi, what about Ye Xuan? I heard that guy has some kind of ambiguous relationship with Fairy Qingyi..."

"Don't slander my fairy! She hasn't had any contact with Ye Xuan these past few days, nor has she shown her face. I've already denied the rumors!"

"Ye Xuan? That guy is quite a figure now. He has won the favor of Fairy Qingyi several times and even awakened a divine body, making a name for himself. It's like a complete turnaround. I heard a few days ago that he crippled Lü Ming."

"Huh? Lü Ming is the grandson of the Third Elder of Tian Shu Peak, how dare he be so bold?"

"Nonsense, this Lü Ming has caused trouble for Ye Xuan time and time again, and even stole his girlfriend. It's too lenient to cripple him."

"Doesn't the Third Elder care about that?"

"I don't know, but Ye Xuan is full of energy right now. However, it seems that Gu Qinghe has his eye on him. Look over there, this is going to be a good show."

"Senior Brother Gu Qinghe? Why is he causing trouble for Ye Xuan?"

"It seems that Lu Ming's sister, Lu Chulu, is currently dating Gu Qinghe. Since Lu Ming has been crippled, he will definitely have to step in."

"Lü Chulu? The fourth beauty on the Jade Immortal Ranking..."

Candidate area for disciples of Tian Shu Peak.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was alone, confronting Gu Qinghe and several of his true disciples.

"Ye Xuan, as long as you cripple your own arm and apologize to Chu Lu, I can forgive and forget about what happened to Lü Ming."

Looking down at Ye Xuan, Gu Qinghe crossed his arms and said with a cold and arrogant expression.

Ye Xuan, standing not far away, remained calm and composed. He said with a mocking expression, "Gu Qinghe, you're too arrogant. You want to cripple one of my arms? Just because of your words? You don't even deserve it."

Lu Chulu, standing beside Gu Qinghe, said angrily, "You crippled my brother's cultivation, shouldn't you pay the price?"

Ye Xuan sneered. "What a joke. He was the one who provoked me first. We originally agreed to settle our grudges at the martial arts tournament, but he brought people to cause me trouble a few days ago. If the sect hadn't forbidden disciples from fighting each other, he would have had far more than just his cultivation crippled."

"you!......"

Gu Qinghe stopped Lü Chulu. "Ye Xuan, do you think that just because you've awakened a divine body by sheer luck, you can be so arrogant that you look down on everyone? Some things require more than just talent..."

"Arrogant and conceited? Are you talking about yourself? Because of your confidence as a King-level cultivator?"

"Since you're so eager for revenge, let's meet on the field. We'll see who's stronger and who's weaker then." Ye Xuan didn't want to waste any more words and directly put down the challenge.

"Okay, this is what you said."

Just then, a cold-looking young man carrying a long sword slowly walked towards them.

He was only thirty years old, with a handsome face and an elegant demeanor dressed in white, but his sharp sword aura dared not attract any attention.

"Look, it's Senior Brother Tianjian!"

"Senior Brother Tianjian is the strongest prodigy of this year's competition, the personal disciple of the Peak Master of Tian Shu Peak. With his late-stage King Realm cultivation and Emperor-level techniques, he has the best chance of winning the championship! Why is he here?"

"They must be here to cause trouble for Ye Xuan. It's rumored that Senior Brother Tianjian has always liked Senior Sister Qingyi. Recently, Ye Xuan and Senior Sister Qingyi have been getting close, so that's why they've stepped in."

"Wow, Ye Xuan is really having a tough time. First, Senior Brother Gu Qinghe came knocking on his door, and then Senior Brother Tianjian came looking for him?"

Upon seeing Li Tianjian arrive, even the proud Gu Qinghe greeted him.

After all, he was only at the early stage of the King Realm, while Li Tianjian was at the late stage of the King Realm.

"Senior Brother Tianjian."

Li Tianjian nodded calmly and continued walking towards Ye Xuan.

He approached Ye Xuan, his expression as deep and unfathomable as a still pool, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"You're Ye Xuan?"

The few simple words carried a powerful sense of oppression, freezing the atmosphere and making everyone around afraid to even breathe.

There's no way around it, Li Tianjian is just that domineering. He doesn't allow anyone except Mu Qingyi to resist, otherwise you'll be met with his even more domineering sword.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, and his previous nonchalant attitude towards Gu Qinghe was gone.

"Yes, this is you. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Qingyi is my woman. You are not allowed to get close to her from now on, or you will have nowhere to stay on Tian Shu Peak."

Li Tianjian's tone left no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, a ferocious glint flashed across Ye Xuan's face. "Li Tianjian, when did Senior Sister Qingyi become your woman? Is it because of your sycophantic behavior of clinging on and on, which only earned you a cold rejection?"

boom!

With the power of a late-stage King Realm cultivator erupting, a force as heavy as a mountain pressed down on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan also refused to back down, unleashing his golden divine power to withstand the oppressive force.

"Ye Xuan, you really have guts! Don't you know the meaning of death?"

"I've warned you not to have any ideas about her, but you won't listen. In that case, let's see you on the field and see if you can last until the end."

"Alright, we'll wait and see." Ye Xuan's jealousy was completely ignited.

"Let me make this clear: I love Qingyi. Qingyi is the woman I will pursue and protect for the rest of my life, and no one can stop me!"

"Fine, fine, we'll see." Li Tianjian's gaze toward Ye Xuan was icy cold.

He never expected that Ye Xuan would actually take a liking to Qingyi.

However, he knew that now was not the time to make a move, so he flicked his white robe and strode away.

"Damn, Ye Xuan is too tough! I thought he was a coward before, but I didn't expect him to go head-to-head with Senior Brother Tianjian? He's a real man!"

"Heh, I think he's just blindly arrogant, thinking that he can do whatever he wants just because he's awakened his divine body, and he even wants to pursue Fairy Qingyi? He'll know he's wrong once Senior Brother Tianjian teaches him a lesson on the field."

The surrounding disciples were abuzz with discussion about what had just happened, their attitudes varying widely. Some sympathized with Ye Xuan, some admired him, and some loathed him...

"Qinghe, as long as you can avenge my brother, I will do whatever you want from now on. I will do whatever you ask."

When she saw Ye Xuan still standing there unharmed, Lü Chulu's pretty face turned cold, and she said to Gu Qinghe beside her.

Gu Qinghe pursed his lips, a surge of excitement rising in his heart. "Don't worry about Chu Lu, I'll make this kid pay the price."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leading Lü Chulu and the others away.
