The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 410 Two-Person Competition 1.5

Xiao Xuanqing looked quite unwilling.

Leaving aside Qin Che and the others who gave him a severe beating, the one who left the deepest impression on Xiao Xuanqing was Cheng Jiu, this devil.

If she hadn't suddenly barged in and turned the tide of battle, his plan would have almost succeeded.

As long as they win, their senior brothers and sisters won't pursue the matter afterward; at most, they'll force him to apologize to the Guiyuan Sect.

So what? They won, they won face, what good is an apology? Nobody listens to the cries of the losers.

But with Cheng Jiuyi joining, it seemed that the Longyuan Sect had no difference between winning and losing, and even lost a lot of money.

Having lost so much face, and with the whole story revealed, the senior students who were implicated all looked at him with condemnation.

And then there's Senior Sister Quan Ling, who directly summoned her father.

Today's event was also an apology banquet ordered by Senior Sister Quan Ling.

It could be said that his current predicament was all caused by these guys in front of him.

Although he harbored many grievances, he unfortunately could not show them on his face.

The strength and talent of these individuals were fully displayed in the hunting battle; none of them were people he could afford to offend.

Especially Cheng Jiu, the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator, and her equally renowned master.

Xiao Xuanqing suspected that even his father was no match for Cheng Jiu, and it was only a matter of time before Cheng Jiu's cultivation surpassed his father's.

Standing beside his father, Xiao Xuanqing was as obedient as a puppy, and his gaze towards Cheng Jiu and the others was harmless, showing none of the arrogance that Qin Che had shown when they first met.

He was completely different from a normal person, and Qin Che began to question his own existence.

What Qin Che was thinking was unknown to the Xiao family father and son, but their willingness to accept the invitation to Xiangju Pavilion meant that these geniuses from Guiyuan Sect were willing to reconcile.

Elder Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. According to his inquiries, the most core members of the Guiyuan Sect, and also the most difficult to approach, were these few people in front of him.

So he specially asked the junior sect leader to send an apology letter, thinking that these people would not come, but unexpectedly they actually came.

Elder Xiao looked at Cheng Jiu and saw that his smile was genuine, because Cheng Jiu's strength was the most authoritative proof of his identity.

He even sensed a life-threatening danger emanating from Cheng Jiu! As expected of a disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu, his strength was probably more than enough to fight opponents of higher levels.

His attitude became increasingly approachable, showing none of the arrogance of a high-level cultivator towards a low-level cultivator when facing Cheng Jiu: "I apologize for disturbing you all, thank you for gracing my son's apology banquet."

My son has offended me greatly in the past; I have spoiled him. I hope you will all forgive him. I will definitely discipline him more strictly in the future. Xuanqing, come and apologize to all the senior sisters and brothers.

Summoned by his father, Xiao Xuanqing readily apologized: "I'm sorry."

His attitude was quite sincere, and his practiced manner and fluent language showed that he had done it many times before.

"This is certainly an apology, please forgive me."

Elder Xiao presented each person with a gift, his attitude was quite humble.

Since a Dao Integration Realm expert was willing to lower himself like that, Cheng Jiu and his junior disciples naturally couldn't hold a grudge.

Cheng Jiu looked at Elder Xiao with curiosity for a few moments. Xiao Xuanqing was really lucky to have such a good father.

Qin Che took the initiative to speak on behalf of his fellow disciples: "It's just a conflict between disciples, Dao Lord, there's no need to take it to heart. Our Guiyuan Sect hasn't suffered any losses either!"

Elder Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this. With these individuals willing to let the matter rest, the situation for the Guiyuan Sect could be considered a perfect conclusion.

Although Cheng Jiu and his group formed their own small circle, their strength, talent, and background destined them to be the core of all the Guiyuan Sect disciples who came to participate in the competition, even more authoritative than their senior brother Nan Yanzhe.

After all, Cheng Jiu is the strongest disciple, not Nan Yanzhe. If Cheng Jiu is willing to forgive, then the other disciples are not a threat.

After this, the hatred level of the Dragon Abyss Sect should drop sharply.

After all, as genius disciples carefully nurtured by their sects, they are not the type to forgive and forget.

What they wanted was an attitude, and the Longyuan Sect had gone too far before.

Elder Xiao pulled Xiao Xuanqing along as they continued their apology on the rooftop, while the other eight people stood by watching with food in their hands.

"How could someone like Elder Xiao have such a son?" Qin Che had a very good impression of Elder Xiao, a gentle person.

Lan Chang took a big bite of meat, eating it indistinctly. Having been on the battlefield all this time, he had never eaten anything so delicious before!

There are actually foods in this world that taste even better than elixirs!

What exactly did he miss during this period?

Cheng Jiu has a chef who can cook, but that doesn't mean Nan Chang is so lucky. He was taken in by his master and almost starved to death by his master before he could cultivate. He learned to eat fasting pills before he could even speak.

His master was a devout ascetic, which also means that his master did not have any normal entertainment activities at all, and only knew how to cultivate or go to the battlefield to fight demons.

With his only personally taught disciple, he learned to slay demons in their very first battle.

That's why Cheng Jiu felt that Lan Chang was bloodthirsty. He grew up amidst killing and hadn't yet reached the level of selflessness that his master had achieved. The fact that he hadn't caused any deaths was already a result of his restraint.

That's why he set his sights on Cheng Jiu. Among people of the same cultivation level, only Cheng Jiu could give him a truly satisfying fight. He had to be careful of the others and make sure they didn't die.

"It's a pity Li Wei's heart isn't in it!" Cheng Jiu subconsciously wanted to ask his melon-picking partner, but then he suddenly remembered that Li Wei hadn't come down from his master's side at all, so he had to give up the idea.

Without knowing the full picture, few would make wild guesses.

Lan Chang swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty: "That old man is no good person!"

Lan has seen many people like Elder Xiao who appear gentle on the surface. There are quite a few two-faced guys like this on the battlefield, especially those demons, who are very cunning!

In order to prevent his apprentice from making a mistake, Master Lan Chang really tricked him.

Having suffered a loss, Lan was extremely nervous towards Elder Xiao, a seemingly gentle and likable fellow.

Qin Che remained noncommittal. He only had a good impression of him because of his public image. With a son like that, he figured Elder Xiao wasn't a good person either.

However, after Lan Chang said that, Qin Che lost all goodwill he had for Elder Xiao.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, it can be said that Elder Xiao was quite generous at this apology banquet. Not to mention the delicious food that had never been lacking, the apology gifts he gave were also quite modest.

There were no pills or magical artifacts—these were the least of their worries for talented disciples like Cheng Jiu. What they had were spirit stones, top-grade spirit stones, one hundred in each bag.

This would be a windfall for any disciple.

Don't think that top-grade spirit stones are not precious. If you don't have a powerful master to support you, a top-grade spirit stone is a great opportunity for an ordinary disciple.

With the help of the spiritual stone and a good attitude in apologizing, the apology banquet had an unexpectedly good effect.

The Longyuan Sect disciples participating in the two-person competition visibly felt more comfortable during the competition.

Aside from the disciples of those minor sects, the opponents they had encountered before were all from the five major sects. Whether they could defeat them was another matter, but the Dragon Abyss Sect was definitely not going to have an easy time.

It's all about pride.

So they encountered the Cloud Soaring Sect disciples, who were extremely fast, avoided fighting, only walked their dogs, and walked the red lines of the rules. It wasn't that they couldn't win, but their main goal was to feel frustrated.

Even waiting in comfort didn't work; they could only force the Yunxiao Sect disciples to exhaust their spiritual energy, and the opponents decisively admitted defeat.

The main theme is companionship, and also torment.

This is especially true for the Longyuan Sect disciples who are known for their fiery tempers, straightforwardness, and lack of patience.

As a result, these disciples even developed a phobia of competing against disciples of the Cloud Soaring Sect.

There are also alchemists who disregard their status as protectors of the Dao. These alchemists have always been unpredictable and cunning. In terms of strength, they are definitely no match for the disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sect. But who can blame them when they know how to refine pills?

In the past, in order to show goodwill, to make the competition more entertaining, and to prevent them from being complained about, these alchemists only used highly poisonous substances, and if they lost, they would simply admit that they were not as skilled as others.

However, when facing disciples of the Longyuan Sect, it was unknown what was being refined in that furnace. One Longyuan Sect disciple inhaled the illusion powder during a competition and immediately took off his clothes and danced. The swords in both of their hands disappeared without a trace.

Although he won in the end, his expression was no different from if he had lost the match.

Due to the residual medicinal powder, she continued to dance uncontrollably from time to time even after stepping off the stage.

The powder was administered by a disciple of Medicine King Valley, who refused treatment because the powder posed no threat to their lives.

The Dragon Abyss Sect is full of sword cultivators. Even if they have alchemists, their strength is not comparable to that of the professional alchemists in Medicine King Valley.

The only sect that could rival them, Guiyuan Sect, was severely offended. Even the mild-mannered Wen Sishu refused when the other party came to him.

This shows just how bad the reputation of the Dragon Abyss Sect was before Elder Xiao held a banquet to apologize.

Even the Wuji Sect wasn't this hated.

"Senior Brother Zhao got into a fight with Senior Brother Yan and Senior Sister Yuqiu!"

The most attention-grabbing event today isn't the match between Gong Cheng Gong Yu and Qin Che, as their strength had already been demonstrated beforehand.

It's no fun to face any disciple unless they face them directly; they've already demonstrated their dominance in the hunting battles.

In a two-person competition, a powerful combination, apart from those outstanding pairs, no one else can withstand a single move from them.

In contrast, the Nascent Soul Realm is more eye-catching, especially since this battle is the first internal war within the Guiyuan Sect.

Both contestants were renowned figures among the Nascent Soul Realm disciples.

Senior Sister Yuqiu vs. Senior Brother Zhao Wenqi.

There was an internal battle between the senior brothers and sisters of the Body Peak. Although Senior Brother Zhao Wenqi's performance in the hunting battle was not as outstanding as Senior Sister Yuqiu's, his win rate in the hunting battle was still not low.

One has been carefully nurtured by Tifeng for many years, while the other chose to start his own business. He also enjoyed Tifeng's core training before. The two have never really faced off, and no one knows who is stronger or weaker. Now, it may really be time to determine who is superior.

Yan Xuan vs. Nan Yanzhe.

Nan Yanzhe had long heard of this troublemaker from Yaofeng, and because of him, he often felt a sense of shared fate with his senior brother Anqi.

He had no advantage in this battle. No matter how unreliable Yan Xuan was, he was still one of the veteran Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, having broken through many years earlier than him.

Moreover, he was also an alchemist, and his explosive techniques were renowned among alchemists. He was paired with a physically robust cultivator.

Zhao Wenqi can withstand the bomb, but can his opponents?

It can be said that from the very beginning of this competition, Senior Sister Yuqiu and her group were at a disadvantage.

But what makes the outcome uncertain is Senior Sister Yuqiu; no one knows if she is strong enough to take on two opponents at once!

If possible, and with Nan Yanzhe assisting him, Senior Brother Zhao would be in trouble!

When Qin Che joined forces with Huo Yan for the first time, everyone realized that this guy, who was considered Huo Yan's little accessory, was actually quite powerful.

Their opponents are a pair of music-training twins; the older brother is skilled in both dance and music, while the younger brother's ghost flute plays a captivating and unpredictable tune.

The two set up their musical formation almost instantly during the competition. Before the older brother's dance could even begin and before the younger brother could even utter a note, the carefully prepared musical formation had not yet revealed its full power.

Qin Che and Huo Yan broke through the music formation, leaving Qin Che and Huo Yan with no power to resist.

The two jumped off the stage without hesitation, ignoring their defeated disciple.

With the competition going so fast, Qin Che didn't want to miss his senior brother's match, especially this one, where his senior brother might lose!

Ah! I'm even more excited now!

He doesn't care about winning, and he'll at least take it in stride if he loses.

If the eldest brother loses the competition, will he cry?! I'm even more excited now, what's going on!

The Gong brothers didn't keep them waiting long. Their opponents this time were quite formidable: two alchemists!

However, the two little Qilins were great, and didn't linger for long, finishing the battle quickly.

The two little Qilins, however, seemed a little unsatisfied.

The alchemist, who was being rammed around like a ball, was furious. How could there be such a powerful spirit beast and such a cowardly cultivator?

Those wretched twins!

They met up with Cheng Jiu and his group, and when they arrived at the scene, they found that almost all the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect had come.

And Qin Che's senior brothers and sisters, that's right, they also participated in the Nascent Soul stage competition and obtained a spot, but failed to be selected for the competition.

It's impossible for a sect competition to accept hundreds of people from each sect to participate. Where would that competition even take place?

Therefore, only the top sixty people can participate in the competition, with Cheng Jiu and his group being the exception.

Of course, this is a privilege only available to Nascent Soul stage and Deity Transformation stage contests; in the end, strength reigns supreme in this world.

The Four Arts are all minor skills! The Star Domain's spots will only be given to those disciples with the highest potential and the strongest strength.

The disciples who participated in the competition arrived first by flying boat, while the others arrived one after another riding spirit beasts.

Two-player competitions can be even more exciting than hunting battles!

"Senior Sister Big Hammer!" Yingyue greeted her five friends. The five of them had also won Star Domain quotas, but they were unable to participate in the competition. They failed to qualify for both the alchemy competition and the individual competition.

The five of them standing among the disciples were a striking sight; they had all come to support Senior Brother Yan Xuan.

The disciples of Medicine Peak are very united; all the senior brothers and sisters who came stood on Senior Brother Yan Xuan's side.

On the other side, Senior Sister Chang Yue was equally eye-catching, especially the few behind her who, despite being disciples of the sect leader, always acted mysteriously.

The disciples of the Guiyuan Sect's various peaks were quite curious, and their gazes were all subtly drawn to the lazy group.

Qin Che, Yingyue, and the others each went their own way.

Only Cheng Jiu and the other three remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Lan Chang spoke first. He didn't recognize any of the four people on stage and didn't care which side he stood on: "Wherever you go, I'll go!"
