Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 463 Martial Arts Competition (Part 6)

But now that Han Yi has brought up the matter of sparring again, she feels unhappy.

"It's alright. I can't say for sure about other things, but I'm quite confident that we can maintain our undefeated record."

Of course, although Zhong Han had some minor emotional issues, she remained calm and composed on the surface.

"I see..." Han Yi nodded and said earnestly, "Senior Sister has always been kind to me and has helped me a lot in many ways. Is there anything I can help you with in this competition? Please let me know."

This competition is too strange. It's not a festival or any celebration. Why would two sects want to spar and exchange ideas? I haven't heard of any exceptionally talented disciples emerging recently either.

In addition to the intelligence coming from the other side, he always felt that there was something fishy going on behind the scenes.

Perhaps it's related to the matter of Chen Lingmo that ** mentioned.

It was for this reason that he wanted to find his senior brothers and sisters in the afternoon to ask for information.

After listening to Han Yi's words, Zhong Han slowly smiled, and her mood improved a lot: "Junior Brother Han, you can keep this favor. The fact that you have this intention proves that I haven't misjudged you."

She thought about it and decided not to reveal the hidden story behind the sparring match.

By engaging in friendly competition, the external pressure exerted on Jingtian Manor by the Three Mountains Sect can be reduced, the situation of being suppressed and controlled by the Nine Bends Courtyard can be broken, Chen Lingmo's ill intentions can be thwarted, and he can be made to give up completely.

It's a win-win-win situation. But all the good endings depend on her winning.

She took the initiative to suggest sparring with Chen Lingmo, and had Zhong Yunxiu spread the word. After discussions between the manor lord Zhao Ziyang and the Three Mountains Sect, the matter was eventually publicized.

Han Yi was just her junior brother. Even if he had some talent, his cultivation years were too short, his strength was not good, he had no resources, and he did not have a large family power network.

Even if she tells me about something this big, what good will it do?

Could Han Yi possibly help her solve this? He would only cause her more trouble.

"Senior Sister, think it over carefully. Is there really nothing you need help with?" Han Yi continued to ask, "I have a good friend who is the young master of a prominent family in the city. He is powerful and has a strong background. If there is anything you need, he can definitely help you solve your troubles."

"Alright, alright, don't overthink it, it's really nothing." Zhong Han smiled and shook her head. Her opponent was the son of Chen Ying, one of the three grandmasters of the Three Mountains Sect, who lacked nothing in terms of talent and resources. Even if she went on stage herself and they fought to a draw, that would be the best outcome.

Han Yi, with his cultivation at the fourth level of True Skill, could only associate with ordinary families, given his level of connections.

What might seem like a powerful family to him was just an ordinary family to her and Chen Lingmo.

Even if the contestants for tomorrow's sparring match hadn't been decided, how many young people in the entire Jingtian Manor would be a match for Chen Lingmo?

If Han Yi and his friends get involved, wouldn't that be harming them?

“Alright. Since Senior Sister says it’s not necessary, then forget it.” Han Yi said slowly, “But Senior Sister, please remember, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask, and I will do my best.” He spoke slowly, word by word.

Although it was only a few words, this gesture of kindness was profound and carried great weight.

This means that no matter what Zhong Han has to do, as long as she speaks up, Han Yi will definitely not stand idly by.

Even in a life-or-death struggle.

This is a promise, a very, very important promise.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Han's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she immediately fell silent.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the junior brother in front of her.

He was tall with sharp features, a resolute and powerful expression, and an unwavering determination in his eyes.

To be honest, she didn't know much about this junior brother Han.

Han Yi was a low-key and taciturn person who didn't talk much. All she knew was that this junior brother had only two hobbies: practicing martial arts and reading.

Oh, and one more thing: they eat extremely fast and love good food.

In their daily lives, apart from a few occasional celebratory banquets, the two of them didn't interact much.

What impressed her most was her explosive performance in the last boxing match.

It was at that time that Han Yi was truly accepted as a disciple by his mother and truly became a member of the Nine-Bend Academy.

But she only regarded Han Yi as her junior brother, a junior brother who needed her help to take care of him and who needed her to solve his problems.

Yes, she had helped him a lot before, but it was all just something she did casually and without much effort.

Besides, she is the chief senior sister of the Nine-Bend Academy. It is only natural for her to help her junior brother.

Thinking of this, scenes from her past interactions with Han Yi gradually surfaced before her eyes and overlapped with the figure in front of her.

Han Yi's image instantly became vivid and indelible in Zhong Han's mind.

“Okay.” Zhong Han nodded emphatically, her smile growing even brighter. “If I ever need anything in the future, I’ll definitely come and bother you.”

She didn't think she would need Han Yi's help in the future.

However, despite not being able to help, she was still somewhat touched by Han Yi's good intentions.

Ever since Jiuquyuan was targeted by the deputy head of the manor, Fang He, many of her former so-called best friends broke off their relationship with her long ago.

Later, everyone learned that Fang He's reason for targeting Jiuquyuan was because the Sanshan Sect was causing trouble behind the scenes.

She has even fewer friends, only a handful, with whom she still keeps in touch.

However, Zhong Han takes these things in stride. She believes that it's better to have many friends than to have a few good ones.

Maintaining a large number of useless, superficial friendships is pointless and a waste of time.

Being able to distinguish who your true friends are through external pressure is a worthwhile thing.

But just because she thinks this way doesn't mean that others think this way.

Many of her former close friends thought she was too pretentious. Being chosen by Chen Lingmo was clearly a good thing, but she had to act as if she didn't want to accept it and put on airs.

Some people don't understand and make sarcastic remarks behind your back.

She always just laughed off these rumors.

After all, she, like her mother, is a strong and independent person.

But after hearing so many rumors, hearing genuine help and concern all of a sudden felt overwhelming. Sincere concern is always a surefire way to touch people's hearts.
