MTL - The Villain Always Wants To Kill Me-Chapter 62 The heroine's confidante and confidant
Tao Jingyi didn't have any doubts about the appearance of the little martial uncle. No matter how good his martial arts are, he is just a mortal. She took the little uncle's strange reaction as illness. After all, whoever has changed, is sick, and the mood is not much better.
A young servant in Tsing Yi came over and added tea, melons and fruits, pastries and other things to each table. When the boy came to Tao Jingyi's table, he put an extra handful of melon seeds for her, and said in a low voice, "Miss, use it slowly."
Tao Jingyi raised his head, met Xia Mingyuan's gaze, Xia Mingyuan blinked at her, and walked away carrying the teapot.
Tao Jingyi picked up the melon seeds and peeled them one by one. When he peeled a handful, there was a sudden vibration from the seat next door.
Sitting next to her was the Zixia sect, a sect that only accepts female disciples. These female disciples are all slim and beautiful, and when they stand on the field together, they attract young people from other sects to burst into excitement.
"Master, look, it's Duan Feibai!" A younger girl in green clothes said excitedly, holding the hand of a woman in white clothes.
The woman in white is called Shen Rou, she is the senior sister of the Zixia sect, she was born with a beautiful face, and also learned a good martial arts, when she traveled the rivers and lakes, her fame spread far and wide, and she won the hearts of countless young people. It's a pity that this senior sister has only one person in her heart, and that is Duan Feibai from the Tianshan School, but Duan Feibai and Su Xiyan have a long-standing marriage contract, so she gave up her thoughts.
Tao Jingyi followed the gaze of the girl in green and saw a familiar figure.
Duan Feibai was tall and tall, and walked side by side with a refined man in his forties. He had elegant eyebrows, long hair **** high like ink, and a piano on his back, the body of which was wrapped in fine silk , the love-severing sword must be hidden in the body of the piano at this moment.
Tao Jingyi stared at the piano for a while, then withdrew his eyes, moved his body slightly, and hid himself behind Dongfang Yue with a guilty conscience.
"It's such a pity, Duan Feibai is an outstanding talent, with high martial arts skills, he is a perfect match for our elder sister." The girl in green sighed.
"It's been half a year since Mrs. Duan's death, and I've already let it go. Why don't we go to Tianshan to send a senior sister to propose a marriage, and match up this marriage made in heaven, okay?" Another girl booed.
"I heard that he has a deep affection for Mrs. Duan. For the past six months, he has been recruiting alchemists everywhere. He wants to find Mrs. Duan's soul. I'm afraid he won't marry easily again." The green-clothed girl worried.
"I'm really curious about how beautiful that Mrs. Duan was, but she made Mr. Duan fall into such a deep trap."
"I saw it once from afar." A weak voice sounded from the corner.
"How is it? Are you beautiful?" Everyone asked.
"Beauty is beauty, but it's just that she doesn't act like a decent family." The weak voice replied.
Tao Jingyi listened for a while before realizing that the "Mrs. Duan" they were talking about should be herself. She turned her eyes to Shen Rou curiously, Shen Rou didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, her expression was cold, but her eyes were entangled with Duan Feibai's back, she couldn't bear to move away.
There is a high platform in the center of the martial arts field, about two meters high, made of wooden boards, pulled apart by four iron chains as thick as a child's arm, and fixed on the ground.
The order of the contest and the opponents were determined by drawing lots. Tao Jingyi replaced Duan Wushuang, and the opponent drawn in the first round turned out to be a disciple of the Zixia faction.
When she entered the stage with the sword in her hand, she always kept in mind her promise to Dongfang Yue, to lose faceably and not to embarrass Xijiange.
Tao Jingyi kept chanting the word "decent" in a low voice, and he drew his sword sharply. Before he could figure out what was going on, his opponent rolled down from the martial arts platform in a disgraceful manner.
Tao Jingyi got off the stage in a daze, not really understanding what was going on.
She apologized very badly to Dongfang Yue and promised that she would lose decently in the next match.
Dongfang Yue said: "You don't have to force it, just let nature take its course."
However, compared to the duel between the two rookies, everyone in the audience was obviously more looking forward to the duel between masters like Duan Feibai and Dongfang Yue. Unfortunately, in the first three contests, neither Duan Feibai nor Dongfang Yue faced each other head-on.
And Tao Jingyi was constrained by the word "decent", thinking about how to lose face in order not to embarrass Xi Jiange, he was muddleheaded all the way, and unexpectedly made it into the top fifty rankings.
Seeing the newly posted leaderboard on the stone wall in front of the Yanwu Stage, she was stunned.
"You're lucky. The opponents you draw are all unknown people who can't make it to the stage, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into the next ranking." Xia Mingyuan stood behind her and said in a low voice.
Xia Mingyuan is right, those who can enter the top 50 are those with strength and luck, whether she meets Duan Feibai or Dongfang Yue, she will definitely lose.
"But if possible, I still hope you can enter the top five." Because only the top five will be assigned the task of assassinating Mr. Gui, competing for the ultimate martial arts leader.
In the original book, Duan Feibai participated in this hunt as the first place. He used himself as a bait to catch Shangguan Qi, a big fish, and killed her, ending his ten-year career of revenge.
Tao Jingyi took a look and saw that Shangguan Qi had already ranked fifth.
Since the last time he failed to steal the piano and sword, Duan Feibai seemed to have become vigilant. Tao Jingyi and Xia Mingyuan didn't dare to startle the snake again, so they put the matter on hold.
After the martial arts conference is over, Duan Feibai will return to the Puppet Villa. At that time, it will be much more difficult to steal the piano and sword. If Tao Jingyi can participate in the final competition, and Duan Feibai, Dongfang Yue and others chase and kill Young Master Gui, it is the best time to strike while Duan Feibai is getting revenge.
Tao Jingyi pulled his face in embarrassment, and sighed: "I can't even beat Shen Rou. If I want to enter the top five, I have to beat Duan Feibai or Dongfang Yue."
These two are now ranked first and second, as long as one of them is defeated, they can directly advance.
"Otherwise, when Duan Feibai goes to sleep tonight, you can pretend to be Su Xiyan, entrust him with a dream, and ask him to let him release the water." Xia Mingyuan suggested, "Actually, the best way is for Su Xiyan to 'return to life', return to the By his side, it is safest to steal the piano and sword while he is in a state of confusion."
It is pure nonsense to release water in a dream, and it is an act of igniting fire to confuse Duan Feibai by bringing the dead back to life. Both methods were unacceptable, so Tao Jingyi had no choice but to accept his fate and take this contest seriously. At the same time, she was secretly praying that she would not draw the top five players.
In the next few days, the contest became more and more exciting. Duan Feibai and Dongfang Yue, the two handsome young men, have been dominating the rankings with the first and second places, and have become popular candidates for the leader of the martial arts.
Tao Jingyi played steadily all the way, narrowly winning several games, and entered five more rankings. But the later, the more difficult it is to advance in the rankings. After all, those who can stay are all capable masters.
Because of her poor health, Tao Jingyi was unable to cultivate advanced internal skills. Fortunately, she was extremely proficient in the "Swallow Killing" set, and ordinary people were no match for her. Moreover, after performing Wutai this time, she clearly felt that her internal strength had improved a lot compared to before.
It's weird, she didn't go out of her way to cultivate her internal strength, it seemed like it grew out of thin air.
On the fifth day of the martial arts conference, the scene where everyone expected Duan Feibai to fight against Dongfang Yue never happened, but Shen Rou got Duan Feibai's opponent. I don't know if it was luck or misfortune for her.
No matter what era it is, Fengyue is what people like to talk about the most. The fact that Shen Rou loves Duan Feibai is almost known to everyone. Standing on the stage of the martial arts, the victory and defeat of these two are already clear at a glance. Compared with the result, everyone cares more It is whether there can be a different spark between these two people.
Duan Feibai is a gentle and modest gentleman, no matter his appearance, background, or martial arts character, he can be regarded as the best among all talents. Half a year ago, he got married to the eldest lady of Hongfeng Villa, which broke the hearts of countless heroines. Unexpectedly, Su Xiyan died on the night of the marriage, and many girls regained their broken hearts. Pick it up, gear up secretly, and strive to become the next "Mrs. Duan".
Among them, the most popular voice is undoubtedly the Shen Rou Shen heroine.
Whether it's appearance or martial arts, in the eyes of everyone, Shen Rou and Duan Feibai are undoubtedly the best match.
One is Mr. Pianpian, the other is the beauty of the city. Standing on the martial arts stage, the two of them clearly have a secret heart, but they have to face each other with swords. This is simply the beginning of a romantic story.
Tao Jingyi sat under the stage, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, nibbling with gusto, and finally became one of the crowd, waiting for the good story on stage to begin.
The little uncle sitting next to him asked hoarsely, "What is Tao Tao looking at?"
In the past few days, his wind-cold has not improved, and he has a drake voice when he speaks, which makes his ears hurt.
"I'm watching the gossip." Tao Jingyi said excitedly, and handed a handful of sunflower seeds to the junior uncle, "Here."
In the original book, Shen Rou only appeared after Su Xiyan died. Due to the late appearance, this character has almost no sense of existence, and more readers still like the saint Feng Lingzhi. But just after the scene of the martial arts conference, the ambiguous interaction between Shen Rou and Duan Feibai pushed this character to the readers.
Shen Rou was born in a decent family, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality. She is not so much Duan Feibai's confidante, but rather his confidant.
In the scene of the martial arts conference, she stood in front of Duan Feibai. Even though the strength of the two was far apart, she insisted on carrying off Duan Feibai's three moves with an unyielding spirit, which made Duan Feibai treat each other differently. . In the last sword strike, he even risked his life, and was almost pierced by Duan Feibai's sword in the chest.
Duan Feibai withdraws his sword in time, but withdrawing his sword in a martial arts competition is extremely dangerous, and if he is not careful, he will be injured by the opponent. Duan Feibai's sword withdrawal did not hurt him, but he lost half a move to Shen Rou.
This is the first time Duan Feibai has lost since he came on the stage. Not only did the readers remember Shen Rou, but all the girls present also remembered Shen Rou and classified her as the number one rival in love.
A man with great martial arts, lost to a woman because he wanted to lose, and he was willing to lose. It is conceivable that Shen Rou is different from Duan Feibai. It was also written in the original book that when Duan Feibai saw Shen Rou like this, he seemed to see himself back then. Even though his body was covered with bruises, he stubbornly clenched the sword in his hand and cut through all obstacles, just to stick to the belief in his heart.
After Tao Jingyi passed through, although some of Xia Mingyuan's original settings took effect, resulting in changes in the identity of the characters, such as Feng Lingzhi becoming Feng Linzhi, the general direction of the plot has not changed.
So according to the plot of the original book, she is very likely to see Duan Feibai's defeat by Shen Rou today. At that time, Shen Rou will definitely advance to the top five. If she draws Shen Rou, and then defeats Shen Rou, she will definitely advance to the top five.
Compared with defeating masters such as Duan Feibai and Dongfang Yue, the maneuverability of defeating Shen Rou is obviously greater.
Tao Jingyi planned happily, the more the melon seeds are chewed, the more fragrant they become.
The little uncle looked blank: "What is there to see between these two? There is no need for a contest, the outcome has already been decided."
"That's not necessarily true, little uncle, look, Shen Rou is a beauty."
"I'm not blind."
"So Duan Feibai will definitely lose."
The little uncle fell into deep thought: "What is the logical relationship between the two?"
Tao Jingyi put down the melon seeds, with a serious face: "As beautiful as Shen Rou is, Duan Feibai lost as badly as he did."
"Impossible! Duan Feibai is not the kind of lecherous person who can't walk when he sees a beauty." The little uncle's brows were obviously sullen.
Tao Jingyi didn't know why he glanced at him, and said Duan Feibai, why the little uncle was so excited.
"Want to bet?" Tao Jingyi said slyly, with a strange light in his eyes.
The little uncle said, "Just bet."
The person on the stage was not the real Duan Feibai, but Heron, Duan Feibai's confidant. Even if Heron's martial arts were not as good as Duan Feibai's, he was still a top master trained by him. How could he lose to Shen Rou, a girl.
At this time, the person sitting next to Tao Jingyi was naturally the real Duan Feibai. Because Heron doesn't know ventriloquism, when he pretended to be Duan Wushuang these days, he always pretended to be cold and took special medicine, which made his voice hoarse, so he didn't hide it from everyone.
Today, when Shen Rou was drawn, Duan Feibai asked the two to switch identities, and sat under the stage by himself, basking in the sun with Tao Jingyi.
Unexpectedly, this girl had so many irrelevant thoughts in her mind, she actually regarded him as a shallow person who only had beauty in her eyes, why didn't Duan Feibai get angry.
