“Xuanji…!”

Someone called out to her, very sadly.

She tried to look towards the place where the sound was coming from, but suddenly everything was a blur. She actually had no strength in her legs and she knelt on the ground with her knees. Something hot was running down from the top of her head, turning everything red in sight.

What is going on? So strange….

Her body was suddenly pulled up vigorously, and Du Minxing’s anxious face appeared in front of her eyes, somewhat unreadable through a layer of crimson.

“It’s bleeding! Linglong, bring me some medicine!” His voice sounded muffled, like speaking through a dozen layers of cotton.

The next thing she knew, her hair is being pulled back and something cool is being smeared on it, and then someone is wrapping her up and wiping her face with a wet towel.

“Hey! Say something! How’s it going? Don’t scare people!”

Zhong Minyan lightly slapped her cheek and his face looked blue with fear.

Xuanji blinked her eyes, and the bright red color faded a bit, and she raised her hand to touch her well-bandaged head.

“I…what’s wrong with me?” She whispered

“You were struck by lightning…are you okay now?” Linglong was crying so hard that she couldn’t speak, and grabbed her hand and refused to let go.

“But it doesn’t hurt at all…” She tried to move and sat up, moving her shoulders and arms in full view of the crowd.

The crowd is stunned to see her standing up, her head wrapped in a bandage, but she is no different than before.

Du Minxing was still worried, so he held her back and said, “Are you sure you’re okay? If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.”

She was struck by lightning, but she was still alive and kicking. Either she was lucky or Wu Tong’s spell was not effective enough to kill her.

Xuanji touched the wound on the top of her head, which was numb and felt nothing, though it was bleeding a little, it didn’t hurt at all.

She showed the pearl flower in her palm, “Maybe it’s because it struck the pearl flower, so I’m not in the way…”.

Du Minxing shook his head, was about to say something, when suddenly he heard the agitated voices of people in the Ochre Ring. Several people turned their heads together, only to see Brother Duanping lying on the ground. The clothes all over his body seemed to have been burned by the fire, black and torn. No serious injury, but fainted, will not be able to wake up for a while.

The doctors in the infield were taking his pulse. The young disciples, who are still in a state of fear, some scolding, some sighing, and some hot-tempered, grabbed the boy next to them and wanted to beat him.

Wu Tong, who was caught in the act, was smiling and didn’t care. As the fist was about to fall on his face, Elder Huan Yang snapped, “Stop! Everyone out of the ring! Don’t you dare!”

Even though the disciples of the Shaoyang Sect were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the order of an Elder, so they let him go and stepped down to exit the stage.

Elder Huanyang with a sullen face, crouched down and looked at his beloved disciple first, confirming that he was in no trouble. Only then did he raise his head and looked at Wu Tong’s face with an electric gaze.

“This young man can actually use the Five Thunders.” He said coldly, “This match, Shaoyang loses, and Dianjing wins!”

Wu Tong smiled carelessly, bowed to him, and was about to leave the stage amidst the cheers of the disciples of the Dianjing Valley. But Elder Huan Yang suddenly said from behind, “Wait!”

He turned back, smiling, and said, “What else can I do for you, old man? This Junior is all ears,”

On such occasions, according to the etiquette he should call him a Elder Huan Yang, that old man, was extremely disrespectful. Not only did Chu Lei’s face change, even the owner of the Dianjing Valley’s Rong Gu also looked bad, secretly shaking his head.

He gazed at him for a moment and then said, “It is certainly gratifying for a young man to have such an achievement, but the Five Thunders Technique is a deadly and fierce move, so to use it in this competition would be overkill. It is fortunate that you have restrained yourself, otherwise what if you hurt someone outside the arena?”

Wu Tong laughed, “All the people here are cultivators, so they can naturally dodge. If anyone is injured, it will be the fault of their poor skills, not mine.”

Huan Yang calmly said, “The purpose of the Flower Hairpin Tournament is not for young disciples to kill, but to stop when the time comes. I hope that you will use the Five Thunders Technique carefully in the future.”

Wu Tong shrugged his shoulders, but without comment, he jumped off the stage and left.

“Hey Xuanji…” Linglong hugged her and whispered bitterly to her, “He called you unskilled, I’ll have to give him a good beating when I see him again!”

“No, no…” Xuanji knew that she was always fond of causing trouble. “I really don’t know how to learn, and I couldn’t avoid the thunder . . . don’t blame him.”

“That’s not what I said.” Even Du Minxing, who has always been a good man, is furious this time and frowns tightly, “The Flower Hairpin Tournament is a friendly competition, but he won with a killer move. And he hurt the innocents on stage. This is definitely not the kind of thing that cultivators do!”

Linglong resentfully said, “Exactly! And he hurt my sister. I’ll chop him up!”

When he saw that she was getting excited, Zhong Minyan grabbed her tightly and whispered, “What can you do? You’re no match for him! Master and the others have settled this, we can’t interfere in this matter!”

Linglong stomped her feet and said, “Little Six is a good talker! Is he the only one who is allowed to know how to use spells! Well, I can too! Let’s see who has the most spells!”

“Even if it’s a spell. You can’t win against him.”

Yu Sifeng’s voice suddenly came from the side, Xuanji hurriedly turned around and saw him standing a short distance away, his face pale, but his eyes were gentle and he was looking at the bandage wrapped around her head with compassion.

“Ah, Sifeng…” She yelled, and suddenly remembered that when she had just been struck by lightning, someone called her. Now that she heard him, it was probably him.

“I… I’m fine.” She stammered, “No pain, no itch, no dizziness, just a little blood…that man’s thunder is not very powerful…”.

Yu Sifeng shook his head and came over to look at her injuries, his gaze was cold as he whispered, “He actually hurt you.”

I’m fine… Xuanji wanted to explain, but for some reason, when she saw his ice-cold eyes, she couldn’t say a word.

“What do you mean by what you just said?” Linglong pointed at his nose and yelled, “I can’t win against him, but you can!”

Yu Sifeng didn’t even look at her, but touched Xuanji’s head lightly and said, “Me too, I can’t win. All of us, we can’t win. Besides, it will be difficult for your father to make trouble outside the arena.”

When Linglong heard him mention Chu Lei, the evil fire in her belly was suddenly half gone, but she was still unconvinced: “If you really care about Xuanji, we’ll fight him together. If you don’t believe it, you can’t win!”

Xuanji hurriedly held her hand and said, “Good sister, I’m really fine, don’t cause any more trouble. If dad gets angry, we’ll be locked up in Mingxia Cave again! I don’t want to go there anymore.”

Linglong was so softly plead by her, so she let it go.

It just so happened that she saw Wu Tong stepping off the stage, he did not go to stand in the inner court, but jumped out of the court, he was so proud that instead of watching the other competitors, he decided to go back and rest.

When Linglong saw his sly smile, her simmering anger caught fire again, and seeing him walking over she glared at him.

Probably because of the intensity of her glare, Wu Tong soon noticed that someone was looking at him, and when he turned his head, he met Linglong’s angry gaze. He was stunned slightly, seemingly unable to understand why a beautiful little girl wanted to look at him like this, but saw Xuanji standing next to her, with a bandage on her head and blood stains on her face. She was injured by The Five Thunders technique.

He knew it at once.

Looking at Linglong’s expression, he smiled and ran his fingers over his face to show that she hadn’t practiced enough.

“I can’t help it!” Ling Long lowered her voice and yelled, “I’m going to beat him to death!”

She squeezed the gold sword at her waist, wishing she could stab him like a wasp’s nest with a thousand swords.

Xuanji held on to her sleeve and didn’t let her move. She looked up and saw Wu Tong smiling at her with contempt, turning around and walking away. She could even guess what he was whispering right now, such as the Shaoyang Sect is just like that, and the Sect Leader’s daughter is too weak to stand up to the wind.

She bit her lower lip, but didn’t move.

“I have an idea to frustrate him,” Yu Sifeng suddenly spoke in a low voice.

As soon as he said it, the other children looked at him.

“Anyway, the Flower Hairpin Ceremony is still a few days away, and no one knows what will happen in the next few days.” he said calmly, “Maybe he ate something bad and lost his strength, or maybe he was bitten by a poisonous snake and couldn’t work. Or maybe, he, a newcomer, unfamiliar with Shaoyang Peak’s terrain, broke his leg . . .”

Everyone blinked and waited for his conclusion.

“Anyway, everything, everything, is possible.” He smirked, like a little devil.
