Since it was impossible for him to keep a low profile and not help this troublesome senior, Lou Xiaoyi no longer hesitated and clasped his hands towards Yan Chong.
"Senior, please advise me!"
With a flash of the sword, the Four Seasons Sword was unleashed. In the next moment, the abandoned Snowbird's nest four thousand feet away was cut in half …
Yan Chong snorted coldly and turned around to leave. Lou Xiaoyi did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly followed behind … leaving behind a group of shocked Swordsman standing there in a daze! The difference between four thousand feet and two thousand feet was huge! For an offensive orthodoxy like the Swordsman, it meant that they had the initiative and a higher chance of winning!
Who was this?
Yan Chong sighed deeply. He had failed again! But it did not matter. He could handle it!
He glanced at the dumbfounded crowd and mocked himself.
"It's not embarrassing to lose to someone who used to be on the leaderboard! Long range does not mean everything! This person is Lou Xiaoyi. Remember this. If you want to pursue the Ice Goddess, you have to be able to get past him! "
Although he had suffered a setback, he did not forget to cause trouble for others …
Lou Xiaoyi followed behind his senior, looking a little unhappy. Yan Chong found it funny.
"What? Are you blaming me for exposing your flying sword's range? You can't easily ambush people anymore? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly, "I just don't want to attract attention. Who said that I only know how to ambush people?"
Yan Chong said seriously, "Xiaoyi, although your current strength has far surpassed me, and I don't have the ability to give you pointers, there are some things that you can't continue like this!
It's good to have a trump card, but if you rely on it and use it as a foundation, you'll lose your true identity as a Swordsman! You'll lose your sword heart! It's wrong to try to ambush people secretly no matter who you meet!
It's not wrong to keep a low profile, but if you don't even dare to show your sword skills because of that, how can you still be a Swordsman?
Being upright might seem silly to you and have no tactical effect, but this is what a real Swordsman must face! My master once told me that the higher one's cultivation level is, the more upright one is. That's because schemes and tricks are nothing in the face of strength!
Senior Sister is doing this because I want you to cast aside these scruples. Aren't you tired of living by being so careful? "
Lou Xiaoyi pursed his lips. "You make it sound like you're not doing this for your own personal reasons …"
A smile appeared on Smoky's cold face. "Since we can kill two birds with one stone, why not?"
Lou Xiaoyi understood what this senior sister meant. To be honest, she had hit his weak spot. He did not live like a Swordsman. There were too many reasons that could be related to his experience. He had not truly completed the transformation of a Swordsman. This required a process, a necessary process. Otherwise, it would be difficult for his strength to rise to the next level with such a state of mind!
To a Swordsman, one's state of mind was very important. Bravely moving forward might sound brainless, but from a certain point of view, it was necessary. Otherwise, one would not be worthy of being a true Swordsman!
"That Senior Brother Yan Chong seems to be very strange. He doesn't seem to be doing this solely because of your charm, Senior Sister. There seems to be some other reason mixed in … "
Smoky sneered. "Of course he has other reasons! The so-called Casanova is just an act! Little Yi, you have to be careful with this person. His thoughts are unpredictable. He seems to be affectionate, but he's actually heartless! "
Lou Xiaoyi did not understand. What kind of game was this? How much time did a cultivator have?
Smoky explained a little more. "I can't tell you too much right now, but it has to do with the origin of Xuanyuan, the Azure Sky Great World. If you observe carefully, you'll know that all the people he's courting are Kun cultivators from the Azure Sky Great World! Otherwise, why didn't he pursue those old companions of yours who came with you? Many of them are beautiful and charming. "
Lou Xiaoyi had never thought of such a reason. He really wanted to know what it meant. But seeing that Smoky didn't want to say more, he could only give up.
In the cultivation world, there were too many secrets. It was better to know as little as possible, to avoid trouble.
So he changed the topic. "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Yan Bo invited us to drink some wine a few days ago. I saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, but he was unwilling to say it out loud. We tried to sound him out but failed. Senior Sister, do you know the reason?"
Smoky curled her lips. "What other reason could there be? He's not doing well in cultivation. He's met with a problem! Actually, this matter has something to do with you! "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't understand. "What does it have to do with me? Did I hurt his self-confidence? "
Smoky explained, "Yan Bo has been worrying about the problem of Shi recently. In fact, at our stage, who doesn't want to make a breakthrough in Shi if they want to go to the next level?
In a few months, it will be the A Hundred Vying Barges in Jialan. The prize is a few items of Shi. Yan Bo fought for these two places in the Inner Sword Competition, but he didn't get them. So he's unhappy. "
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless. "This has nothing to do with me, right? The spots for the Inner Sword Competition and the Outer Sword Competition are two different things. I didn't steal his spot. Even if I wanted to give it to him, I don't have the right. He can't accept it!
Really, those who want to go can't go, but those who don't want to go are forced to go! "
Smoky was also a little dispirited. "He's just a little disappointed! He's afraid that you'll catch up with him … "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly. This senior brother was too proud. Who said that senior brothers had to be stronger than junior brothers? Why would he be afraid of being caught? He had already caught up with him, okay?
The two of them parted ways. The more Lou Xiaoyi thought about it, the more depressed he became. He suddenly realized that he had to change his plan again!
In his original plan, he was just going to be a bystander in the so-called A Hundred Vying Barges in Jialan. He wouldn't put in any effort and would just muddle through. Ming Chuan Palace wouldn't be able to do anything to him!
But now it seemed that his situation had been resolved, but his friends' situations hadn't! It wasn't just Smoky who was depressed. Perhaps Smoky, who had never expressed anything in this regard, was also affected. His senior sister was a strong person. She never said anything about her needs. But with her temper and her current state, it was impossible for her to be indifferent to the situation. She was just secretly working hard in the hope of a breakthrough!
He could not do it for himself, but he couldn't not do it for his friends. Since both of his friends had similar needs, what reason did he have to pretend to fight in A Hundred Vying Barges and not put in any effort?
He finally understood what his senior sister meant. In the Cultivation World, hiding one's strength was the most unrealistic and also the most mind-twisting way of thinking. What was there to hide? This was a world of great competition. He had to fight for himself, for his friends and family, for his sect's orthodoxy. In the future, when he reached that position, he would probably have to fight for the Fifth Ring!
This was the true attitude of cultivation! His previous idea of living a simple life behind closed doors now seemed to be too childish! He always laughed at others for not having a choice, but he didn't know that other people's path was the right path. Only by fighting for it could one have no regrets!
He was always too lazy to fight for it. When the day came, how could he close his eyes?
