Chapter 457: New Gameplay, Let's Have a Competition

I don't know where Situ Qingqing got the bell from, nor do I know where she got the veil. Covering her face with it, she twisted her body, making the bell ring crisply. Her exquisite curves were graceful, and she blinked her beautiful eyes at Xu Yang from time to time, appearing even more charming.

This action left Ruan Yu'er and the others somewhat stunned. Ruan Yu'er frowned and asked:

"Xiao Qing, where did you learn this martial arts technique? How come I don't know about it?"

Logically speaking, they were allies and were practically sharing the same skirt. They should have been sharing information, so how come she had never seen Xiao Qing's newly learned skill? She deeply suspected that Xiao Qing was keeping secrets from her.

Situ Qingqing ignored her. They were supposed to be allies, but she was the first to 'stab her in the back.' Fortunately, she had kept something up her sleeve. She twisted her body and came in front of Xu Yang, just like a little green snake that had cultivated for a thousand years and finally attained human form. She raised Xu Yang's chin and said in a sweet, glutinous voice:

"Master, is Qing'er beautiful?"

Qin Kewan was chewing on a spiritual fruit when she saw Situ Qingqing being so flirtatious in front of her master. The spiritual fruit in her mouth almost fell to the ground. She was truly having her eyes opened today. Xu Dongying, on the other hand, had a faint look of envy in her eyes, because she had been persuaded by her family to be a proper young lady since she was a child. Every move she made had to conform to the etiquette of a lady, so she had never been as unrestrained as Senior Sister Qing'er, and she couldn't do it to that extent.

"Beautiful, yes, but Qing'er, you should be more than this, right?"

Xu Yang had just finished playing cosplay not long ago, with Xin Ya cosplaying and him playing, so the threshold had been raised all at once, and he couldn't be moved by Xiao Qing's superficial performance at all.

Ruan Yu'er also wanted to teach the secretive Situ Qingqing a lesson, and immediately added fuel to the fire:

"That's right, Xiao Qing, you don't think that just by twisting around a few times, you can get Master to keep you here, do you? You underestimate Master too much. Who doesn't know how to twist? You're a bit insincere!"

Situ Qingqing glared at Ruan Yu'er fiercely from behind her veil. She hadn't even started yet, and she was already attacking her. What kind of ally was this? Their alliance was too fragile. But since Master had said so, if she didn't show some real skills, she might really be kicked out of her own residence.

"Master, your disciple has privately studied a set of games. Please give me your guidance."

As she spoke, Situ Qingqing took out a jade-inlaid treasure box from her bosom, her pretty face slightly red. Opening the box, she revealed a dozen wooden tablets made of high-quality sandalwood, each engraved with delicate, small characters, very elegant.

Ruan Yu'er couldn't help but ask:

"When did you prepare this?"

Situ Qingqing said unhappily, "I secretly carved them while you were cultivating!"

Ruan Yu'er was indignant: "Xiao Qing, how could you do this?"

"Blegh..." Situ Qingqing made a face at Ruan Yu'er.

This made Ruan Yu'er quite angry. She wanted to retort, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't say anything, so she could only sit on Xu Yang's lap and sulk by herself.

Xu Yang didn't care about the small conflicts between his disciples. Instead, he took the wooden tablet that Situ Qingqing handed over, picked it up, and carefully looked at the small characters on it. Then, he was shocked. Not only was Xu Yang shocked, but Qin Kewan and Xu Dongying, who had come over to watch, also stared blankly.

Qin Kewan came back to her senses, looked at Situ Qingqing, and murmured:

"No, Senior Sister Qing'er, are you playing so big now?"

Xu Dongying was speechless. She was truly having her eyes opened. She only had admiration for Situ Qingqing.

Hearing this, Ruan Yu'er was also aroused with curiosity. She picked up a wooden tablet from the treasure box and looked at it. Then, she stared blankly at Situ Qingqing, as if she couldn't see through her ally. At the same time, she slandered in her heart how many secrets her ally was hiding from her in private!

The martial arts techniques engraved on the vast majority of the wooden tablets were very difficult and could not be done by ordinary people. Only a very small part of them were the most basic, considered to be there to make up the numbers.

"Qing'er, can you do everything on this?" Xu Yang looked at Situ Qingqing and raised his eyebrows.

Situ Qingqing's face flushed red, and she quickly waved her hand, "It's a misunderstanding, Master, you've misunderstood. Didn't your disciple just say that your disciple was just studying a new game? The words engraved on it were just copied by your disciple from those relatively rare martial arts secret books, but in reality, your disciple doesn't know much."

"If you don't know much, why did you take it out?"

Ruan Yu'er retorted.

"Senior Sister Yu'er, although I don't know much, I definitely know more than you and the other two junior sisters. If you don't believe me, let's compare?"

Situ Qingqing was not afraid at all. Although she was the unit of measurement for combat power, she dared to call herself the second in researching 'tricks and crooked ways,' and no one dared to call themselves the first. So she immediately retorted.

"Compare what?"

Ruan Yu'er really didn't believe that Situ Qingqing could know more than her. After all, she was equivalent to two people, two against one, how could she not win?

"Let's compare the martial arts techniques on these wooden tablets. Each person draws one in each round. If you can't perfectly replicate it, you'll be immediately eliminated. Master will be the referee. Do you dare?"

Situ Qingqing was high-spirited and wanted to challenge three people at once. Perhaps it was because of her confidence. After all, among all the disciples of Ziyun Peak, she was the only one who liked to study some crooked ways.

Ruan Yu'er didn't want to be so confrontational, but seeing Xiao Qing being so aggressive, if she retreated, how could she hold her head up in the future? So, she waved her hand and said, "Let's compare, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Xiao Wan, Dongying, don't be afraid either. Compare with her. I don't believe that she can beat the three of us by herself!"

Qin Kewan and Xu Dongying looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They didn't want to compare, but the words had already been spoken. If they said they didn't want to compare, they would probably be the ones to be kicked out. They didn't want to be the victims who could only eavesdrop.

"Okay, Senior Sister Qing'er, let's have a competition, but we have to say in advance that if we lose, we can't really be angry. After all, we are close sisters, and we can't hurt our harmony because of this!" Xu Dongying made a three-chapter agreement.

Qin Kewan swallowed the last spiritual fruit and said, "Junior Sister Dongying, what you said makes sense."

"Don't worry, I won't." Situ Qingqing was full of confidence, and the source of her confidence was of course that these wooden tablets were carved by her, so she had made relevant marks on each wooden tablet, and as long as she could understand these marks, other people probably wouldn't notice the marks on them. In other words, she was now in an invincible position and would never lose.

"For the sake of fairness, each wooden tablet must be handled by our master, and no one else is allowed to take it themselves!"

At this moment, Ruan Yu'er suddenly said.

Hearing this, Situ Qingqing's face suddenly stiffened...

But she quickly adjusted. Even if she didn't cheat, she still had an advantage over the other senior sisters. After all, the martial arts techniques on these wooden tablets were copied by her from those martial arts secret books, so she naturally corresponded to the specific implementation steps. Unlike others, some techniques might be unheard of and unseen by them, and they wouldn't know where to start.

"No one will disagree, right?"

Ruan Yu'er noticed Situ Qingqing's face and stared at her with a faint smile in her eyes. Based on her understanding of Xiao Qing, she knew that Xiao Qing would definitely cheat.

Situ Qingqing snorted coldly: "Who would disagree? Only those who are guilty would disagree. I'm not guilty at all, because I have confidence in my strength!"

Seeing Situ Qingqing being so stubborn, Ruan Yu'er suddenly felt that there was nothing to say. Let's see the real chapter under our hands!

Qin Kewan sighed repeatedly in her heart. This was really a battle between gods, and mortals were suffering. She originally wanted to use some small tricks to pick up a few easy-to-complete wooden tablets and muddle through. Now it's good, she can't muddle through, it all depends on God's will.

Xu Dongying was also a little nervous in her heart. What if she drew a particularly difficult one? If she couldn't complete it, wouldn't she be immediately eliminated? She didn't want to be a victim, like Senior Sister Koi, it was too miserable!

Xu Yang took all the expressions of his disciples into his eyes. None of them were really not panicking. Even Xiao Qing didn't seem to have much confidence, but she was just riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

Thinking of this, he had an idea in his mind. He took the wooden box in his hand, looked at his disciples, and smiled gently:

"The game that Xiao Qing said is quite interesting. Your teacher is very interested. Who will come first?"

Everyone didn't want to come first, so they looked at me, I looked at you, and seeing that no one wanted to stand up to challenge first, Ruan Yu'er looked at Situ Qingqing and urged:

"Xiao Qing, you proposed the game, and you called for the competition, so you come first and set an example for us!"

"..." Situ Qingqing really couldn't refute Ruan Yu'er's words, so she could only swallow this dumb loss, stood up, pretended to be calm, and looked at Xu Yang, saying:

"I'll come first, Master, you draw!"

Looking calm, but in fact, she was already praying in her heart that the first time shouldn't be too difficult, otherwise she would make a big fool of herself.

"Okay, if Qing'er is ready, then your teacher will start drawing." In order to show his fairness and impartiality, without any bias, Xu Yang put his hand in the treasure box and stirred it, then closed his eyes and randomly drew a wooden tablet.

Everyone present was immediately attracted by this wooden tablet, staring at it without blinking, and could be described as being completely focused, especially Situ Qingqing, who was simply looking forward to it.

Xu Yang opened his eyes and spread the wooden tablet in his palm to make it easier for everyone to watch. When Ruan Yu'er saw the small characters on the wooden tablet, she immediately felt a little disappointed. On the contrary, Situ Qingqing could hardly suppress the smile on her face. She raised her head and said arrogantly:

"Hmph, did you see it? Heaven's will is on my side, Senior Sister Yu'er. If you surrender now, I'll only count you as half a loss, how about that?"

Ruan Yu'er sneered: "Xiao Qing, it's only the first round, there's still a long time to go. I don't believe you'll be so lucky every time!"

Situ Qingqing giggled and said, "I don't ask for anything else, as long as I'm a little bit luckier than Senior Sister Yu'er!"

Ruan Yu'er: "..."

Immediately, Situ Qingqing didn't care what Ruan Yu'er said, and began to complete the technique engraved on the wooden tablet. It was very simple, without any difficulty. Among all the wooden tablets, it was considered the simplest technique, which was enough to prove that she was extremely lucky today!

"Okay, it's your turn!"

Situ Qingqing couldn't wait to see Ruan Yu'er make a fool of herself.

Feeling Situ Qingqing's burning gaze, Ruan Yu'er's face darkened slightly, and she looked at her master's movements, feeling a little nervous in her heart, hoping it wasn't a super difficult one. If it was generally difficult, she could still withstand it through 'Great Shift of the Universe'.

As a result, contrary to what Ruan Yu'er thought was a general difficulty, not only was there no difficulty, but it was as simple as Situ Qingqing's.

Seeing this, Ruan Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief and didn't forget to retort to Situ Qingqing:

"Xiao Qing, did you see that? Not only you have luck today, but I also have luck!"

Situ Qingqing was a little speechless: "..."

She remembered that there were only a few simple ones in the box, and it was so coincidental that her master caught two of them in a row, causing Senior Sister Yu'er to be 'successful'. But it doesn't matter, there are only three or four simple ones left, and she doesn't believe that Xiao Wan and Dongying can have such heaven-defying luck.

But the result was that Situ Qingqing was very surprised. Her master touched two more wooden tablets, and the techniques engraved on these two wooden tablets were also particularly simple.

Once is accidental, twice is coincidental, three times should be suspected of cheating, and four times is completely confirmed!

Someone is cheating!

And this cheater...

"Master, why are you helping Senior Sister Yu'er and the others? They should be punished!"

Situ Qingqing looked at Xu Yang, her tone with a hint of complaint.

Ruan Yu'er immediately retorted, "What do you mean by helping us, you are clearly helping you, okay!"

"That's right, it's like you could have touched that wooden tablet without Master's help!"

Qin Kewan echoed.

"Senior Sister Qing'er, you can't be like this. Master has never favored anyone!" Xu Dongying said.

Situ Qingqing: "..."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. The reason why your teacher is doing this is because your teacher doesn't want any of you to lose, and doesn't want any of you to leave, so Qing'er, don't argue anymore, come to your teacher!" Xu Yang said softly, beckoning to Situ Qingqing.

Seeing that her master had said so, Situ Qingqing stopped arguing with Senior Sister Yu'er, walked to Xu Yang and sat down. Because the two had just argued, neither of them wanted to see each other, so they simply turned their backs to each other and snorted.

At this time, Xu Yang pretended to clear his throat and said seriously:

"Ahem, your teacher has a small wish, I don't know if you are willing to fulfill it?"

"What wish?" Situ Qingqing asked.

"Master, just say it!"

"As long as it's within the disciple's ability, the disciple will definitely help Master complete it!"

"The disciple will do everything possible to help Master fulfill the wish!"

The four disciples all looked at Xu Yang seriously, their eyes bright and shining.

"Your teacher's wish is the small characters written on this wooden tablet..." Xu Yang stretched out his hand, and a wooden tablet appeared in his hand.

The four disciples stared at the wooden tablet for a while, and Situ Qingqing took the lead and said:

"Master, your disciple suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, so I'll take a step first!"

Ruan Yu'er also said, "Disciple has gained some insights. It's best not to delay; disciple will return to cultivate!"

Qin Kewan patted her head and said, "The spiritual fruits I planted are about to ripen. If I don't harvest them soon, it will be too late!"

Xu Dongying feigned helplessness and said, "Master, all three senior sisters have left. What's written on this wooden plaque can't be accomplished by disciple alone. Perhaps we should just forget about it!"
