It's like someone having dinner with you just wants to show off, but you naively think that the other person wants to make friends with you, it can only show that you are blind.
As the saying goes.
Does love at first sight exist?Maybe it exists, but how can there be so many love at first sight in this world, it's mostly just love at first sight.
On another occasion, no matter who sees Qingyu, they will probably have the feeling of "love at first sight".
But right now, there is obviously no such idea.
"Let go of that ball!" Qingyu yelled softly, and a small jade sword appeared out of thin air, striking decisively at the chopstick in Ximen Desheng's right hand....
She didn't dare to compete with Su Anran, the patron of the meal ticket, but if faced with Ximen Desheng's cheating of eating and drinking, Qingyu would not show mercy.
"I caught this first." Simon Desheng snorted coldly, flipped his right hand lightly, and the meatballs made of unknown animal meat were thrown into the sky, and then the golden light quickly covered Simon Desheng's right hand , Even the chopsticks have become golden.
In the next second, Simon Desheng clenched his chopsticks and quickly moved towards the Jade Flying Sword. There was a faint burning smell in the air, and a path of burning flames extended directly in front of the Jade Flying Sword, colliding with the Jade Flying Sword. .
There was no amazing sound explosion, but Qingyu's flying sword was ignited at this moment, turning into a ball of sparks.
Simon Desheng smiled triumphantly, then raised his hand methodically, ready to catch the falling meatball.
However, the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
Because he found that his chopsticks were actually missing a small part out of thin air!
This sudden situation caused his prediction to be wrong, so that he failed to catch the meatball accurately.
When he reacted, he shook his right hand slightly, held the chopsticks again to grasp the distance, and when he was about to grab the meatball again, a pair of chopsticks had already protruded from under his chopsticks, pinching the meatball accurately, like a flying dragon General exploration.
Then the chopsticks quickly retreated, and the meatball caught was sent to Qingyu's mouth.
"Ow."
On Qingyu's face, there was a look of satisfaction.
In contrast, Ximen Desheng's face was ashen.
In the battle for the last meatball, Qingyu won.
Qingyu had a victorious look on her face, and chewed vigorously a few times on purpose, so angry that Simon Desheng put down his chopsticks on the spot.
Qingyu, who has followed Su Anran for several days, already knew that everything in this room was made of Shibi ore. This kind of thing is not resistant to high temperature, and it can melt quickly with a little spark.So from the very beginning when she wanted to snatch the meatballs, Qingyu had already thought about taking advantage of this. No matter what method Ximen Desheng used to stop her, as long as her flying leaves touched the chopsticks, Qingyu would have a way to snatch the meatballs.
This is the loss of information.
After all, it was impossible for Ximen Desheng to prepare a den for himself like Su Anran and Qingyu before.It is also impossible for the disciples of the Ximen family who followed him to spend so much energy and brainpower on researching these things.
Qingyu felt that intelligence was really a good thing.
"Tell me." Su Anran also put down her chopsticks.
The food on the table has been eaten up by several people, especially the three members of the Ximen family, in Su Anran's eyes, they seem to be no different from starving ghosts.
Of course, if Su Anran was allowed to eat Bigu Pills for several days, his image might not be much better than Ximen Desheng and the others.
"How did you fight with the Sword Sect?" Su Anran asked, "Sword Sect is one of the 36 sects, and under normal circumstances, it would not provoke your Ximen family. The two sides are not of the same magnitude at all, and even if they really fight If you fight, it’s impossible to have only those people.”
Ximen Desheng glanced at Su Anran, then at Qingyu, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Because of the cave."
"Dongfu?" Su Anran and Qingyu were surprised.
It's only been a few days, and the cave has already been discovered?
But after thinking about it carefully, Su Anran felt that this answer was reasonable.
This time, no matter whether it is the Nineteenth Sect, or the Shangzong's visit, or even those other small sects, their purpose is to come to the cave.As long as one can find a Dongfu relic, and obtain inheritance or any gain from it, it will definitely be a greater reward than Wanshilou, so it is impossible that no one will not be tempted.
Only in this situation, the Sword Sect dared to challenge the Ximen family.
"At present, only you and the sword sect found out?" Su Anran asked.
"It was before." Simon Desheng nodded, "But it's hard to say now."
Su Anran nodded, expressing her understanding.
If they hadn't made a move before, there might only be one Ximen Desheng in the Ximen Family who could survive this time... No, Su Anran shook her head slightly, denying her own idea.Obviously, not all members of the Sword Sect took action, so it is very likely that the final result is that even Ximen Desheng could not survive, so the discovery of the cave in the Land of Souls will be exclusive to the disciples of the Sword Sect.
But now...
"The Sword Sect is likely to join forces with other people." Su Anran said lightly, "You are hopeless."
Simon Desheng didn't speak, but looked at Su Anran with burning eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm not gay." Su Anran said subconsciously.
"Fuck?" Simon Desheng was confused.
"Just get used to it." At this moment, Qingyu finally let go of the arrogance of the winner, and said something.
She followed Su Anran, and often had to listen to words that she could not understand at all.
However, she felt that this might be the way the Master Huang of Taiyi Valley educated his apprentices. After all, the famous Master Huang always said things that almost no one could understand.However, many monks believe that it is precisely because these incomprehensible words contain a lot of philosophy or mystery. If they can understand the meaning, then maybe they can become as powerful as Tai Yigu disciples.
Qingyu happens to be a loyal supporter of this theory.
Su Anran gave Qingyu an angry look, and then said: "What I mean is, I don't intend to participate in this."
"Why?" Simon Desheng was a little surprised.
"Sword and Sword Sect must be trying to find a way to contact other people now, not to mention contacting the group of Fairy Girl Palace, as long as they join hands with people from Tianwang Temple, you will have no chance at all." Su Anran shook her head, "Now you Ximen There are only three of you left in the aristocratic family, and two of them seem unlikely to recover without ten days and half a month of recuperation, what else do you have to fight for the cave?"
Seeing that Ximen Desheng seemed to want to say something, Su Anran stretched out her hand to stop him from speaking, and then continued: "And as far as the right to choose is concerned, I think the odds of winning by joining the Sword Sect are definitely better than joining yours. Don't you? ... So you see, you can't convince me."
"But... you just killed the sword sect's man." Simon Desheng frowned, he felt that the man in front of him was quite difficult.
In fact, when Simon Desheng uttered these words, it meant that his way of thinking had been led away by Su Anran.
The rhythm of negotiation has completely fallen into Su Anran's habitual domain.
Therefore, the corner of Su Anran's mouth slightly raised: "The Sword Sect doesn't know that I was the one who killed them and the one who rescued you."
The muscles of the other two children of Ximen's family tensed instantly, and they almost jumped up to strike first - if it wasn't for Ximen Desheng who was still sitting still, Su Anran believed that these two people would definitely jump up if they couldn't hold back.It has to be said that it was not a fluke for Simon Desheng to become a genius, at least his perception and judgment of the situation are relatively reliable.
The only thing lacking is probably the experience in negotiation.
This may have something to do with his identity as the core direct descendant of the Ximen family: the core direct descendants of the family are accustomed to fine clothes and fine food, and generally do not participate in the family's diplomatic work before the natal state or even the soul condensing state. The responsibility that needs to be shouldered is to improve one's own strength as soon as possible, and then become the mainstay of the family.
After all, "If you don't show your life, you will waste your life; if you don't condense a new soul, you can live no more than a thousand years." Therefore, before stepping into the realm of life and soul, the so-called descendants of aristocratic families, for a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, are just the same. A fleeting thing.
Just like the concept of "100 years", for long-lived species, it is likely to take a nap, sleep, eat a meal, and read a book, but for human beings who have not yet completed their life transformation, that It's a lifetime thing.
"I think I understand what you mean a little bit." Simon Desheng sighed softly, "But I don't think this is a good choice."
"When you start a war with the Sword Sect, and then you can't completely solve each other, there is no good choice." Su Anran said lightly, "It's nothing more than choosing between worse and worse situations." Just one."
Speaking of this, Su Anran smiled: "So, do you want to choose the worse one, or the worse one?"
"If I had a choice, I would rather choose neither." Simon Desheng shook his head.
"But it's better than the current situation." Su Anran shrugged, "At least you got a ticket for negotiation."
Simon Desheng nodded, then glanced at Qingyu again, and said, "Your Highness Qingyu, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Qingyu blinked, "I'll listen to him."
Qingyu pointed at Su Anran, but her eyes were still wandering in the food on the table, trying to find the fish that slipped through the net.
"Leave her alone, it's hard for her to understand what we're talking about with her IQ."
"You have a low IQ!" Qingyu shouted unconvinced.
"Then tell me, what did we discuss just now?" Su Anran asked indifferently.
Qingyu didn't raise her head, and continued to search the food intently, but she said: "Isn't it just to say, instead of looking for other people to join forces, it's better to make peace with the Sword Sect. After all, more people are involved. If you come to explore the cave, everyone's income will drop, and the Sword Sect members are not idiots, so they will definitely not refuse."
Su Anran was stunned: "You actually understand?"
Qingyu became angry: "I'm just too lazy to think, but it doesn't mean I don't understand! Anyone who doesn't understand such a simple thing is a fool, right?"
The two sons of the Ximen family lowered their heads in embarrassment, and decided to play dead.
"Okay." Su Anran felt that Qingyu had a rare IQ online once, "Probably this is the situation... There may be some grievances on the Sword Sect side, but it is not up to them to make a decision in the current situation."
"You mean, the initiative is on our side?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Su Anran was a little skeptical, Ximen Desheng's IQ might not be as high as Qingyu's, "Tell me about the situation in this cave."
……
"Senior Brother." A young Sword Sect disciple quickly walked up to a white-haired young man and said in a low voice.
"No one found?" the white-haired young man asked.
"I don't know where to hide." The young Sword Sect disciple said angrily.
This white-haired young man is the leader of the Sword Sect this time, Yang Qi.
His talent is not outstanding, it can only be regarded as mediocre, but he is stable and diligent enough.
If it weren't for the news of the birth of Dongfu in Tianyuan Secret Realm, the Sword Sect would not have let him be the team leader.
After all, young geniuses are relatively free-spirited, more or less self-contained and arrogant, and often act relatively impulsively.It is also because of this that Yang Qi will be in charge of leading the team this time, at least he will not be ambiguous about major matters for the benefit of the sect.
"Brother!" Another disciple of the Sword Sect came running quickly, "Ximen Desheng asks to see you."
"He still dares to come!" The Sword Sect disciple who had previously reported that he could not find anyone was full of anger.
"He alone?" Yang Qi was a little surprised.
"More than that." The disciple shook his head, "Beside him is a sword repairman and His Royal Highness Qingyu from the Demon League."
Yang Qi kept his mouth shut.
"Brother, there are only three of them, let's take them all down!" said the angry Sword Sect disciple, "It must have been that Sword Cultivator and Qingyu from the Demon League who killed so many of us yesterday." Junior brother. Let's take them down as a sacrifice to the spirits in heaven of so many of our fellow disciples who died yesterday!"
"Ping An, if you are more calm, the master will let you lead the team this time." Yang Qi sighed and looked at his junior with some helplessness, "Ximen Desheng just left yesterday, and he dared to come to us today , can't you use your brain to think more about the reason?"
"The reason? What reason could be more important than the fact that we sacrificed so many fellow students!"
"Sigh." Yang Qi shook his head, then said slowly, "Dong Fu."
"As long as we kill them, the cave will be ours!"
The helplessness on Yang Qi's face became more serious.
He ignored his younger brother and turned to look at his other younger brother: "Lead the way. Let's see what they have to say."
Chapter 171 Language and teammates
Su Anran soon met Yang Qi.
It wasn't the leader of the Sword Sect that he thought.
This time, among the disciples of the Sword Sect who entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm, there are two disciples who are both disciples of the fourth level of the Tongqiao Realm.
They are Yang Qi and a young man named Shen Pingan.
Compared with Yang Qi, who is full of hair and looks about 27 or 20 years old, Shen Pingan, who is around [-] years old, is obviously more talented.As far as Su Anran knows, the Zongmen is different from the aristocratic family and has clear positioning standards for the children in the family. In order to cultivate the all-round abilities of the Zongmen disciples, let them grow faster, and become the mainstay of the Zongmen, so usually The team leaders in the secret realm or during training are all talented disciples.
But obviously, the sword sect did the opposite this time.
"So, you are here to make peace?" Yang Qi glanced at Ximen Desheng and Qingyu, and finally his eyes stayed on Su Anran.
It has to be said that Yang Qi is absolutely qualified as a team leader.
He only had two or three words with Simon Desheng, and he had already successfully figured out that it was not his idea to negotiate, because he didn't even think through the follow-up distribution plan of the loot. The team's biggest taboo in joint exploration.
As for Qingyu, she had a typical expression that had nothing to do with her. It could be seen that she was not very interested in the things in the cave.
Therefore, Yang Qi directly targeted Su Anran.
Therefore, Ximen Desheng still has a lot to learn.
Su Anran sighed inwardly, but said with a smile on her face: "It's not about making peace, but providing a way of cooperation."
"Who will cooperate with you!" Shen Pingan shouted angrily, "You have killed so many of our classmates, and you dare to send them to our door yourself!"
Su Anran now knows why Shen Ping'an is not the team leader anymore.
With this kind of temperament and this kind of mind, if he is allowed to be the team leader, it will be like leading the whole team into a pit of fire.
So Su Anran didn't bother to respond to the other party.
He didn't even look at Shen Ping'an, his eyes still stayed on Yang Qi.
On the contrary, Ximen Desheng sarcastically said: "It's as if there are no dead people in our Ximen family... Do you think that the lives of your Sword Sect disciples are life, and the lives of other people are not life?"
