Chapter 82
In Chapter 82, the mere mention of the "Complete Book of Spells" was enough to send shiver
Two more days passed.
In the morning, Shen Shuan sat upright and soaked in the spiritual spring of Yunqi Peak.
She felt the rising heat and felt incredibly refreshed, all the fatigue and soreness from her training washed away.
However, Qiao Pingsheng's emotional value has been ticking for two whole days. The competition is about to begin, so why hasn't it started yet?
[Ding, host, 500 points of emotional value collected from Qiao Pingsheng's survival experience!]
Look, here we go again.
Shen Shuan was speechless for a moment, but the next second she immediately realized something was wrong and opened her eyes in shock.
What? How did we survive?
How did they manage to survive such a calamity on their way to our Holy Bright Sect?
Shen Shuan stood up in shock, and Yuan Yuan beside her was startled and quickly flapped her wings and flew away.
"Chirp chirp chirp".
Xiangxiang, what's wrong?
Shen Shuan raised her hand to wipe the water droplets from her face and glanced at Yuanyuan in silence.
No, Yuanyuan too. How did she pick up a Western accent in just two days?
"Even if you're perfectly healthy, soaking in water for too long will leave you feeling exhausted."
As she spoke, Shen Shuan hurriedly put on her robes, used her magic to dry the water stains on her body, and walked outside with the bird-like Yuan Yuan.
On the sword, Shen Shuan's nose twitched slightly. The little bird was cute, but it smelled bad after its bath.
However, birds have a bird smell; the oil on their feathers is for flight, and the smell becomes stronger when they get wet.
No wonder it's a bird.
Shen Shuan thought this way, but her body still honestly raised her hand and cast a cleansing spell on Yuanyuan's shoulder.
The round, beady eyes widened in surprise, then gave a reproachful look: "Chirp chirp!"
Xiangxiang still complains about the sparrow's stench, sob sob sob.
"Chirp chirp."
The sparrow felt wronged, so Xiangxiang chased it away at night, and the sparrow ended up sleeping on Shuaishuai's body.
Now it was Shen Shu'an's turn to be stunned. She turned to look at Yuanyuan, her face full of guilt.
"What? Yuanyuan, I really didn't know! I didn't mean to!"
Perhaps the bird smell was too strong, and it was an unconscious reaction she had while asleep.
However, Shen Shuan was taken aback again. Wasn't Xuan Yi a germaphobe?
But before she could ask, Yuanyuan said again, "Chirp chirp."
Fine, forgive the fragrant person, even the handsome person finds sparrows smelly.
As she spoke, her round, beady eyes lowered silently, her head tucked in like a bird's rooster, and she closed her eyes.
Shen Shu'an: "..."
"Oh, Yuanyuan, let me explain..."
"Chirp chirp."
Okay, it's alright. The sparrow knows that people smell good, but sparrows smell bad.
Shen Shu'an: "!!!"
But before Shen Shuan could continue piecing together the round, broken pieces of the heart, a commotion arose from below.
Shen Wanqiu and Xuan Yi, who had come to find Shen Shuan not far away, also arrived. At the same time, their flying swords paused and slowly slowed down.
Nothing more than Shen Shu'an had already landed and, with Yuanyuan in tow, slipped into the crowd like an eel.
"Spirit Sound Valley?"
"Tianji Pavilion?"
The two groups of people faced each other, sizing each other up, both showing some displeasure.
"You're blocking the way."
"What, did you build this road?"
Just as an argument was about to break out, a great deal of discussion arose from the surrounding crowd.
"Here we go again. Why do these two continents always start arguing the moment they meet?"
"I don't know, it's just a matter of sweet or salty, we in Zhongzhou never care about that."
Upon hearing this, the others glanced at the cultivator, and one of them rolled his eyes.
"Your Wanbao Sect is no good either. You're too cunning. You're not as honest as the brothers from Xizhou."
The Wanbao Sect disciple was immediately displeased by these words.
But before he could speak, a man in black robes from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's ranks suddenly stepped forward, looked in their direction, and said, "Why are you putting the Southern Continent before my Northern Continent?"
"It should be the northern and southern continents."
The two people talking: "?"
The Lingyin Valley cultivator opposite: "??"
Everyone: "???"
Even Shen Shu'an leaned back slightly, looking at the man in black robes in surprise.
His voice was slightly hoarse, but it was clearly a man's, and he was probably not very old.
However… Shen Shuan looked the other person up and down.
What does this mean? Are you cosplaying our Uncle Wu?
At this moment, Shen Shu'an's scrutinizing gaze immediately attracted the attention of the man in black robes.
His keen eyes locked onto Shen Shuan in the crowd; her striking white hair was truly eye-catching.
"You, you are..."
His voice trembled for a moment, and he raised his hand to point at Shen Shuan.
Xuan Yi arrived at this moment and strode forward upon seeing this, but Shen Wanqiu had already stepped forward.
However, before Shen Wanqiu could step forward, Shen Shuan's fellow disciples immediately surrounded her and shielded her behind them.
"What are you doing? Put your hand down. What are you pointing at our junior sister for?"
"Hey, what are you doing? Just talk, why are you pointing at people?"
"Yeah, what are you looking at? Wearing a black robe in broad daylight doesn't look like a good person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Bo, who was standing in the void beside Xuan Yi, slowly clutched his chest, feeling as if he had been inexplicably struck by an arrow.
Xuan Yi also fell silent for a moment, thinking of Uncle Wu as well.
Shen Shu'an and Shen Wanqiu: "..."
The two sisters exchanged a glance, both silently pursing their lips and pressing down their mouths.
However, Shen Shuan suddenly narrowed her eyes, looked at the prompt flashing on the system panel in front of her, and her whole body trembled.
[Ding, 50 points of Qiao Pingsheng's aggrieved emotions have been collected.]
Shen Shu'an was startled and looked up at the man in black robes in shock.
He then narrowed his eyes, hesitated, and took one or two steps forward. "It's nothing, thank you fellow disciples."
"I seem to have a past connection with this person."
As he spoke, Shen Shu'an stopped and walked a short distance from the man in black robes, tentatively asking, "Brother Qiao, is that you?"
Qiao Pingsheng's eyes immediately turned red. Sister Shen really is Sister Shen. Even in this situation, she can still recognize him?
He immediately raised his hand and swiftly removed the hood from his head, revealing his true face.
Qiao Pingsheng's eyes reddened, and he opened his arms towards Shen Shu'an: "It's me, sister, it's me, Qiao Pingsheng!"
However, faced with Qiao Pingsheng's enthusiasm, Shen Shu'an took a step back and raised her hand to politely decline, saying, "Wait, wait, brother, what's wrong with you?"
Why is he dressed in all black?
Shen Shuan looked him up and down, while Shen Wanqiu also recovered from her shock.
"Ping Sheng? How could you..."
Shen Wanqiu's voice trailed off as she was deeply shocked. In her memory, Qiao Pingsheng was someone who acted cautiously and was extremely prudent.
Why did I come to the Holy Bright Sect with the team to participate in the Grand Competition?
But before she could finish speaking, Shen Shu'an quickly stepped in front of Shen Wanqiu, and then Xuan Yi silently stepped in front of Shen Shu'an as well.
Qiao Pingsheng: "...?"
Since returning to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and becoming a Holy Son, I, Qiao Pingsheng, have never suffered such humiliation.
Normally, they would have chanted incantations by now, but it's my sister and Wanqiu...
Never mind then.
At the same time, the voices of fellow disciples sounded behind them—
"Holy Son, may I ask, are these people your old acquaintances?"
Then, the male cultivator who had led the Tianji Pavilion team stepped forward to Qiao Pingsheng's side and bowed his head to ask a question.
Shen Shu'an, Shen Wanqiu, and Xuan Yi: "??"
Everyone: "???"
"The Holy Son?"
Shen Wanqiu's exclamation was mixed with the murmurs of the crowd, and everyone was speechless with surprise.
What?! This guy in black robes is actually the Holy Son of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion this year?!
Upon seeing this, Qiao Pingsheng closed his eyes, straightened his chest, and stood in front of everyone, seemingly enjoying the moment.
To stand openly and proudly in front of others, without being disliked or avoided...
How long has he been waiting for this scene?
Thinking about it, Qiao Pingsheng looked at Shen Shuan, who was standing not far away behind Xuan Yi, with tears in his eyes.
Sister, sister, your little brother has embarked on the path to heaven that you pointed out. After returning to the sect, he will not need to be shocked or go undercover for three years.
Just by taking out the "Complete Book of Spells" in front of all the elders and ancestors, they were already terrified!
Seeing Qiao Pingsheng gazing at him with tears in his eyes, he realized that the people he was looking at were the two most renowned prodigies in the sect.
The disciples of the Holy Bright Sect immediately became alert, their gazes sweeping over Qiao Pingsheng with hostility.
No, Brother in Black Robe, who are you?
Just the fact that there's a dragon prince is enough to make us unhappy.
Now, another Holy Son of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has arrived?
In the morning, Shen Shuan sat upright and soaked in the spiritual spring of Yunqi Peak.
She felt the rising heat and felt incredibly refreshed, all the fatigue and soreness from her training washed away.
However, Qiao Pingsheng's emotional value has been ticking for two whole days. The competition is about to begin, so why hasn't it started yet?
