C61 Unforeseen events (I)

Hearing Wu Xiaowu's words, Zhao Mingzhe's eyes flashed with a cold light, and said:

"Are you sure? I keep having the feeling that this shouldn't happen. Zhou Changqing is an elder of a sect, so there's no need to keep staring at me.

"I'm not sure. I only heard that Zhou Changqing's direct disciple, Li Qiushan, had spread the word that if you were to participate in this year's great sect competition, you will definitely suffer. "

Zhao Mingzhe felt that the name Li Qiushan was a little familiar, but the impression he gave was not too deep.

"Listening to what Li Qiushan said, are you planning to snipe me during the honorary disciple competition?"

Wu Xiaowu nodded his head, and said with a serious expression:

"Brother Ming Zhe, you must not be careless. Although Li Qiushan is an honorary disciple, he is very special. His strength has long surpassed the sixth level of the Origin Convergence Stage. Although his strength has already surpassed many inner disciples, he has never participated in the inner disciples' competition, and instead chose to train with Zhou Changqing. This time, since he said so, during the competition, you should be careful. "

Zhao Mingzhe nodded as he thought to himself, Zhou Changqing is really narrow-minded, and have always gone against my words just because Ye Jinxuan tripped with him back then. Looks like this time's great sect competition is going to be a little interesting.

At this time, Wu Xiaowu's expression became somewhat troubled. His heart stirred, and he opened his mouth to ask:

"Senior Martial Brother Wu must have something else to talk to me about."

Wu Xiaowu hesitated and sighed.

"Brother Ming Zhe, ever since the last Crystal Seizing Hunt, junior sister Liu Xu has been unwilling to see me. "Then I thought about it, was she being bullied by Tsukin and Tsui Mu, and that's why she was so angry because I didn't protect her?"

As he spoke, Wu Xiaowu's face became somewhat twisted. Zhao Mingzhe waved his hands:

"That day in the Bloodthirsty Mountain, Cui Jin and Cui Mu did indeed want to harm Liu Xu, but I coincidentally saw them and saved them. Liu Xu is fine, she might still have some resentment in her heart, if there's a chance, I'll help you persuade her! "

Wu Xiaowu's expression loosened, and said:

Wu Xiaowu had not finished speaking when the matter had happened. Coincidentally, Liu Xu's voice came from outside the bamboo forest:

"Brother Ming Zhe, Brother Ming Zhe, are you there?"

Not long after she finished speaking, Liu Xu, who was wearing a sky-blue robe, walked in from outside the bamboo forest. Wu Xiaowu's face revealed an expression of pleasant surprise, but he did not dare step forward to greet them.

When Liu Xu saw Zhao Mingzhe, she smiled.

"Big brother Ming Zhe, I heard you came back, so I hurried over to see you."

While talking, Liu Xu also saw Wu Xiaowu, and his expression immediately darkened, following that, he directly treated Wu Xiaowu as air, and did not have the intention to greet him.

Zhao Mingzhe laughed and said to Liu Xu:

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Is there something you need?"

"It's okay, I'm just here to see you. Oh, that's right. It's a small matter. Big Brother Ming Zhe, the days of your Phoenix Cry Sect Great Competition are coming soon, right? You must be training diligently these few days, I will help you guard it. If you break through, and you don't have anyone by your side, it will be very dangerous. "

"That's not necessary, the bamboo forest is very quiet. Furthermore, it's in Phoenix Cry Sect, so there's basically no danger. "Also, don't you also have to practice? Your Shocking Cloud Sect is about to have a competition."

"We still have some time before the competition, so there's no need to rush. Big brother Ming Zhe, I won't disturb you here. Just let me stay here with you, okay? "

Just as Zhao Mingzhe wanted to reject them, he suddenly saw that after being ignored by Liu Xu, Wu Xiaowu had a look of worry on his face. With a thought, Zhao Mingzhe opened his mouth and said:

"It's not impossible for you to accompany me these two days. However, on the way back and forth, it is not safe, and I will not send you off. If you can agree to have Senior Brother Wu Xiaowu send you back and forth, I do not mind your coming here! "

Hearing Zhao Mingzhe's words, the expression on Wu Xiaowu's face immediately changed from worry to pleasant surprise, and he anxiously said:

"Alright, alright, alright. As for taking Junior Sister Liu Xu away, I'll do it, I'll do it …"

Liu Xu frowned, and immediately interrupted Wu Xiaowu:

"I don't need you to pick me up, nor do I need you to send me off."

Zhao Mingzhe spread out his hands and laughed:

"That's no use. What if something happens to you while you're watching me? If you're alone, then it's better if you don't come."

Liu Xu's face showed that she hesitated for a while, but eventually agreed. However, she didn't look too good, so she just sat to the side and sulked.

Zhao Mingzhe laughed, he did not say much and just sat down to meditate to cultivate, while Liu Xu and Wu Xiaowu stayed in the bamboo forest, just that, Liu Xu still did not bother to pay attention to Wu Xiaowu.

After a few days, Liu Xu and Wu Xiaowu really became Zhao Mingzhe's free bodyguards. They came early in the morning, and at night, Wu Xiaowu would send Liu Xu back to the Shocking Cloud Sect.

After being reincarnated in this world, Zhao Mingzhe didn't have many friends. For a moment, he rather liked the feeling of people chatting while he cultivated.

Using his experience in the deep valley snow mountain, Zhao Mingzhe spent three days to smoothly reach the sixth level of the Origin Convergence Stage. Liu Xu and Wu Xiaowu were both very happy for Zhao Mingzhe.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Phoenix Cry Sect Tournament had arrived.

Although the Large Competition of the Phoenix Cry Sect was not held at the Heaven's Mandate Platform, the rules of the sect permitted the appearance of death or injury. After all, in the path of cultivation, only killing techniques were cultivated. If one didn't go close to actual combat, then the Large Competition would be of no use.

It was precisely because of the danger to one's life that some disciples who knew that their strength was insufficient did not sign up for the competition. If they were unable to reap any benefits from the competition and lost their lives, then it would be somewhat worthless.

Usually, it was a competition between service disciples, and if one could obtain a place in the top ten, they would be rewarded with some Spirit Medicines, and the victor, even if they had not reached the Fifth Stage of Body Tempering, would be promoted to an honorary disciple.

However, if an honorary disciple wanted to be promoted to become an inner disciple, not only would he need to be in the top ten among the honorary disciples, but he would also need to be able to last ten moves in front of the examinees sent by the sect.

Of course, the competition between inner disciples was even more cruel. Becoming the direct disciple of an important elder or head of a sect was even more difficult. Not only did it have to be within the top ten, one also had to have a chance.

Zhao Mingzhe stood in the middle of the bamboo forest, using the pieces of bamboo leaves flying around, ready to practice his Floating Willow Body Art, when he suddenly heard Wu Xiaowu's panicked shouts from outside.

Zhao Mingzhe frowned, seeing that Wu Xiaowu's face was pale as he rushed into the bamboo forest.

Upon seeing Zhao Mingzhe, Wu Xiaowu knelt down with a "putong" sound. This time, Wu Xiaowu was even more determined than the last time he knelt down, both of his knees trembling so hard that dust flew.

Zhao Mingzhe was startled, then extended his hand to support Wu Xiaowu, and asked:

"What's going on, get up quickly!"

Wu Xiaowu said somewhat hoarsely:
