Ch 43: A Blatant Black Curtain
“Young Master… the sun is quite fierce. I… I have prepared a cup of cooling tea. Please, Young Master, accept it with a smile.”
The female cultivator’s eyes were filled with affection, and her pretty face, without any makeup, carried a hint of blush.
Yu Mu is the standard-bearer of the Yunhe Sect’s younger generation! An idol in the hearts of many disciples! Previously, he was under Zi Li, and when they heard that he was in love with the Heavenly Pride, Xiao Yu, many female cultivators’ hearts turned cold.
But now… they’ve broken up, and the opportunity has come!!
Yu Mu: “………”
“Ah, thank you.”
He sat up straight, took the cooling tea that the female cultivator was holding, and his smile was even more gentle and amiable. Under the sunlight, his handsome face did not show any flaws. His smile was so good-looking that the female cultivator was stunned for a moment.
“You’re welcome, Young Master!”
The female cultivator smiled like a flower, and ran away shyly.
Yu Mu took a light sip of the cooling tea in the cup, looking at the female cultivator’s exquisite back. She was as nimble as a deer, and young… how wonderful.
However, a hint of unfathomable meaning flowed through Yu Mu’s clear eyes.
This woman… is not familiar with him, so there shouldn’t be any grudges, right?
? Then why is this cooling tea so terrible?
This thing! Even if you give it to a dog… no, even if you give it to Ye Tian, he wouldn’t be able to drink it.
“The Young Master drank my tea!! He even smiled at me! You didn’t see it, the Young Master’s smile was so good-looking!”
After the female cultivator returned, she jumped and boasted. For a time… Yu Mu’s place, which was originally quiet, was then visited by many female cultivators who either sent a small snack or a sachet handkerchief…
It really made others envious, but there wasn’t much jealousy. After all… Yu Mu’s character and strength were there for all to see, beyond reach.
Only Liu He’s eyes were filled with strong bitterness. She leaned very close to Ye Tian as if she was throwing a tantrum, and her whole body almost shrunk into Ye Tian’s arms. Even Ye Tian’s restless hand was not stopped.
The temperature in Xiao Yu’s cold, beautiful eyes also dropped sharply.
The hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched into a fist for some reason, and her nails pricked her palm painfully.
He was clearly devoted to her before! But putting aside seriously injuring her in the Sect Competition, when he was sulking, what about now? Ignoring her? Not even looking at her properly?
It seems that he is also a heartless and ungrateful person.
Soon, under Hall Master Chu’s announcement, the martial arts competition officially began! And Yu Mu gathered in front of Elder Chu’s true disciple. The burly body cultivator was about to cry…
Yu Mu: “Is it delicious?”
“Good… delicious! Thank you, Young Master!” With his mouth full of snacks, the man’s heart turned cold. He wondered if he had offended the Young Master, why would he treat him like this?
Those female cultivators in the sect! Made snacks! Each one more! Terrible!!
It seems that today, he won’t have a good time.
At this moment, Hall Master Chu announced loudly: “First match! Yu Mu of Xingyun Hall, against Liu He of Ziyun Hall!”
“Well, Junior Sister, take your time eating. I’m going to the next match.” Yu Mu kindly patted the man’s shoulder, and as the breeze blew, his figure had already appeared on the martial arts stage.
Only the man breathed a sigh of relief, holding the full of snacks in his arms, and grinned at an inner sect disciple who had been holding back his laughter for a long time.
“Junior Brother, have some snacks, they taste great.”
That person: “?????????”
…………
On the other side, Liu He’s heartbeat stopped for a moment! How could it be… the first battle… she encountered Senior Martial Brother??
In this kind of martial arts competition, as long as you lose one match, you will lose the qualification to continue! Why did she have to meet Senior Martial Brother? If it was any other opponent, even a true disciple, she could win!
“Senior Martial Brother… I…”
Water mist suddenly filled her beautiful eyes. Before Xiao Yu and Ye could speak, Yu Mu on the martial arts stage said loudly: “I wonder if Junior Sister wants to admit defeat?”
“I admit…”
Liu He almost subconsciously wanted to admit defeat, but remembering her Teacher’s strictness, and seeing Xiao Yu’s already cold eyes, she still bit the bullet and slowly went on stage.
Senior Martial Brother’s tone is not bad… maybe… maybe he will still let her win like before? That’s right! He has always been the most fond of her!
Arriving at the martial arts stage, hearing Hall Master Chu’s words that the competition had begun, Liu He looked up and saw a smile on Yu Mu’s lips, and there were also some small stars in her eyes.
At this time, the huge venue was silent.
All the disciples knew that Yu Mu had treated this Junior Martial Sister well, and even risked his life for her! But now… it seems to have changed, and no one knows how Yu Mu will choose.
Many disciples who couldn’t stand Liu He were looking forward to it, even though Liu He hadn’t been acting up these days.
“Senior Martial…”
“Bang!!!”
Before Liu He could finish speaking, she only felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and her head was spinning. When she reacted, she realized that she had been kicked off the martial arts stage by Yu Mu…
“Yu Mu of Xingyun Hall, wins!”
Before she could cry, Hall Master Chu had already announced the result. At the same time, Yu Mu was still standing on the martial arts stage, and at the same time, Hall Master Chu, whose voice carried some displeasure, spoke again.
“Next match, Xiao Yu of Ziyun Hall, against Yu Mu of Xingyun Hall!”
Everyone: “?????????”
This, it seems a bit strange! Their gazes gradually became deep. It seems… the Young Master is targeting Ziyun Hall? But that Xiao Yu is the female cultivator he has been fond of for ten years!
This is too ruthless, right?
“Hmph, petty tricks, extremely boring.”
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and glanced at Liu He, who was crying in Ye Tian’s arms. So what if she was being targeted? The Divine Soul Avatar in Hall Master Chu’s hand could be manipulated in the first place. As long as it was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they could achieve meticulous manipulation.
It seems that this person has also been bought off by Yu Mu!
Even thinking about asking her Teacher to uphold justice later, but now her Teacher is also in secluded cultivation, she can only bite the bullet and go on stage!
“The competition begins!”
“Senior Brother, please enlighten me.”
Xiao Yu drew her longsword as if facing a formidable enemy. At the same time… being able to face Yu Mu like this, she herself didn’t know what kind of feeling it was.
“Alright.”
Yu Mu nodded. In the next moment! They only saw a dark light flash! Xiao Yu, who was at the mid Golden Core stage, was directly swept out by Yu Mu, who was at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, with a spear!
He made his move without any mercy, and even the blood spurting from Xiao Yu’s mouth left a bright red arc in the air.
Xiao Yu was stunned. She had clearly made all the preparations! She had clearly tried her best to defend! His… current cultivation, is actually so powerful? She was clearly the first to enter the Golden Core stage, and he had even experienced the Dispersion of Power!
“Next match, Ye Tian of Ziyun Hall, against Yu Mu of Xingyun Hall!”
As Hall Master Chu’s voice resounded through the martial arts field again, everyone was sure that Young Master Yu Mu! Was targeting Ziyun Hall.
This move is so ruthless! Directly eliminating the three Heavenly Pride true disciples at the bottom, it can be said that he is slapping the sect’s Supreme Elder’s face in front of the entire sect!
But… it’s impeccable! At most, he will be reprimanded by the Sect Leader a few times. He didn’t seriously injure anyone, nor did he take anyone’s life, so what’s there to punish?
