Xu Xin the competition is about to commence, so I want you to keep all thoughts aside and focus solely on bringing glory back to the sect, said the sect master.
"By my thought is he referring to Xuan ping". Xu xin thought with a bewildered look on her face.
The three participants of our sect will be Chu zu, Xi rou, Zhang wuji and you Xu xin.
"Yes, sect master" She replied.
Before the long awaited various sects' competition.
A young master from a prestigious sect who will be hosting the competition went to the white lotus sect, requesting the hand of Xu xin in marriage.
Unfortunately, Xu xin did not agree to the marriage due to her uncanny, mysterious love for Xuan ping. Therefore, there is some kind of enmity between the white lotus sect and the lion peak sect.
The lions peak had sworn to make things hard for the white lotus sect throughout the competition, mostly the humiliated young master who is incapable of bringing back the woman he loves back into the sect.
*******
"Senior sister Xu xin, do you think brother Xuan ping will be able to make it to this competition?" Chu zu asked merely out of curiosity.
"I doubt!, Since he promised to come back before the competition". Xu xin replied with a glint of anger showing on her face.
Chu zu briefly understanding what she was passing through, decided to say no more about or anything regarding Xuan ping, but he too was worried, he wanted to know if Xuan ping dantian had been cured, what cultivation level he would be by now if he had been cured, all sort of questions in his head but no one to give him the right answers then he heard…
"I miss his presence," Xu xin claims.
Hmph, Chu zu sighed confused, not knowing what to do because he was in a perplexed state of mind… "Xuan ping show yourself at least to make her smiled" Chu zu thought.
Zhang wuji arrival broke him out of his thought.
"The sect master summons us, It is time to go to the competitions' location". He said not even reading the situation, but he understood the atmosphere was drastically different from their response but felt unconcerned since it had nothing to do with him.
The location of the competition has been confirmed, and it will take us five days if we transport by leg and a day and half utilizing spiritual beasts, so we will be moving by the aid of spiritual travel beast since the competition starts in three days.
He looked at all of them in their eyes each... Any comment the sect master asked?
"No sect master" they all replied.
Since there is nothing left to take care of, we will move today, so you all should pack up and meet me at the main hall in half an hour, he said.
You all are dismissed.
Half an hour
They got to the main hall, and they all departed for the venue of the competition.
Luckily, they got there earlier than expected since the spiritual beasts they rode did not come across predators of any form, so they had to stay in a tavern for the few days remaining to the competition.
*********
"Wow!" I never knew flying on the sword was this interesting, Senior brother Xiao feng is the best, Xu Qing shouted.
Hey, alchemy bastard, if you would rather not be pushed off, better stay still and remain silent and as for you Junior brother Xuan, when exactly are we going to get to your sect? You have been telling us we will soon get their story since we departed from the sect.
Xiao feng felt a bit pissed because he was being used as a fast means of transportation instead of taking the normal means.
Brother Xiao xiao, to be honest, today is the exact day of the competition and I don't know the location it will be held since I have been away from the sect for a good five years.
"What!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
"Senior brothers look, this set of people seem to dress in accordance, why don't we ask if there is any occasion." She twisted her head and looked at them as if telling them either of the two would be better asking.
"Ok, ok, ok, Xuan ping decided to do it since he is the cause of their aimless travelling."
Xiao feng decreased the size of his sword, and they all got down, heading towards the small group.
"Good day, fellow cultivators". Xuan ping greeted.
"Hmph what a unique way of greeting, Xiao feng scoffed leaving Xu qing to laugh, which made Xuan ping grit his teeth."
Hello and how may I help you, the leader of the group answered politely.
"My name is Xuan ping, I look forward to attending a martial competition, but I happen to have forgotten the location, so I decided to ask for help."
Hmph, I never knew senior brother was this good at lying, Xiao feng burst into laughter while Xuan ping was gritting his teeth together ready to get back at them, but the next statement made Xiao feng knock Xu qing hard on the head.
"I guess he learned it from his brother Xiao feng".
"Alchemy bastard!" Xiao feng shouted.
Xuan ping couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, leaving the group bewildered.
"If I may ask which sect does this young master comes from" The man asked.
"White lotus sect" Xuan ping answered.
The next minute, the group's eyes changed like it were glittering.
"It is a pleasure to meet a disciple of a prestigious sect and I guess we are both heading to the competition, so why don't you join us".
"Thank you very much senior" Xuan ping thanked the leader of the group.
"Please, how long would it take to get to the venue," Xiao feng asked immediately because he wanted to avoid being used as a ride again?
"Less than an hour," The man replied.
At exact half an hour they got to the venue of the competition, but they were denied entry since they didn't have a pass into the city, but they were so lucky since the group they came with had a bit of a reputation, so they were allowed alongside the group.
They thanked the group and bid themselves farewell.
Xuan ping was anxious to enter the competition hall but was forced in by his Junior sister, The three got themselves a place to sit and watched the ongoing match but Xuan ping, who doesn't even know what to do when he sees Xu xin was worried, and focused less on the match going on and so the winner of the match was declared.
"Junior brother Xuan, isn't the name of your senior sister, Xu xin?" Xiao feng asked while tapping him.
"Yes!, and why did you ask".
"I guess it is her turn to fight since she had been called up the stage" He replied.
"What! Xuan ping began to get more and more nervous as he drifted his eye slowly towards the stage, on setting his eyes on her, Xuan ping's heart began to race without signs of stopping.
*******
"Damn!" Chu zu cursed.
This is totally a set-up, eventually the lions peak fixed up their young master against senior sister Xu xin, despite knowing the difference in their cultivation level.
The sect master of high heaven sect, Xu xin biological father, began to get worried as he fears what it is to come.
"He-he Zhai Wang laughed with a devilish grin shown on his face".
Did you think there would be an escape route when you denied the proposal back then? Anyway, as a nice young master who is still truthfully pursuing you to become his suitor, I bring forward my last proposal, "It's either you agree to be my wife or I destroy your meridians and dantain right now and here on this stage".
And by the way, what do you think it will be considered as?... A mistake that occurs regularly on the stage?
"Hahaha hahaha" Zhai Wang laughed hysterically.
"No! I refuse" Xu xin declaration remained firm.
"Then it is decided" Zhai wang said as he clenched his fist infused with QI and began to run towards Xu xin attacking her from all various positions.
"It seems you are not half bad yourself".
Zhai wang said as Xu xin continued to avoid and parry the ones she could but still, the gap cannot be filled with skills alone due to Xu xin lack of experience in a real fight.
"Junior brother, your wife is not half bad, but it seems this person is not taking it easy on her, so I advise you to get ready for unforeseen circumstances"
.
Xiao feng battle insight made him understand this fight had something on the line, and it will seem to somehow affect only Xu xin.
Xuan ping stopped thinking and focused more on the fight.
"Brother Xuan, should I move in case something unexpected happens?" Xu qing asked.
"No" Xuan ping replied.
"The high heaven sect might be disqualified if someone butts in and especially not a member of the sect, so don't worry, I will handle".
"Ok".
As Xiao feng saw Zhai Wang increase the QI in his fist to an incredible amount, he knew Xu xin would not have enough time to react and if touched by that amount of QI her QI pool would not be able to withstand it, which may lead to dantain destruction, so he shouted.
"Move".
"I know," Xuan ping replied.
Reacting in that same split number of seconds, he was no longer in his sit.
"Hmm, heaven secret movement really lived up to its name" Xiao feng thought.
The sect leader, Chu zu, Zhang wuji who noticed Zhai Wang's action late could no longer react, but fortunately Xuan ping was more than fast enough.
As Zhai Wang's fist was about to come in contact with Xu xin... Xuan ping appeared held Xu xin tight by her waist and repelled the fist with a large amount of QI force which caused a out burst.
"What just happened?" Xu xin turned to check who was holding her, but to her surprise it was who she least expected, she burst into tears and said…
"What took you so long?".
"Who?" The whole crowd was still in turmoil.
The sect master of high heaven sect, Chu zu, Xi rou and Zhang wuji all shouted.
"XUAN PING!".
