C156 (1/2)

Too much attention to the opponent would only make him more passive.

Ruo Lan took out a piece of white paper from the box. When she opened it, she saw the word 'A' written on it.

On one side, the disciples of the Ju and Bamboo Sects had already drawn their lots. After opening and closing the lot twice, they saw that they had drawn the word ”B”.

Ruo Lan slightly raised her brow. 'That Cold Plum Peak …'

The woman looked at Ruo Lan and gave a cold laugh. ”Junior Sister Ruo Lan, I'll be sorry later!”

With that, she tossed the paper in her hands down and turned to leave.

Ruo Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at the white paper on the ground. After a long while, the corner of her mouth finally formed a faint smile.

Upon returning to the Yulan peak, a group of Yulan peak disciples immediately surrounded it.

”Junior Ruo Lan, how about drawing lots?”

Ruo Lan smiled faintly. ”Seems to be going up against that senior from the Cold Plum Peak.”

The moment he said that, the surrounding people immediately cried out in alarm.

Ruo Lan was startled. ”What is it?”

Amongst the disciples, one of them looked slightly older and spoke with a serious expression: ”Junior Sister Ruo Lan, you have to be careful. The Cold Plum Peak disciple who was in your group drawing lots just now is called Qu Lian, Martial Uncle Mei's disciple. ”

Roran asked, ”Is she very famous?”

That disciple suddenly looked a little hesitant, and looked towards Fairy Lan.

Fairy Lan laughed lightly: ”Speak, I also want to listen to what you have to say.” I heard that you guys have been running to the other three branches recently, so let me hear what news you have. ”

Only then did this disciple let out a sigh of relief. ”Forget about our Yulan peak, very few people even heard of her on Cold Plum Peak. It is said that he has been practicing his swordsmanship in the mountains behind the Cold Plum Peak and rarely goes out. ”

Ruo Lan frowned, only to hear her continue, ”Before this year's Four Meridians Martial Meeting, I heard that there was a competition in the ColdPlum Mountain. This Qu Lian defeated Senior Dong Yue Han in order to gain the qualifications to participate.”

Many people covered their mouths to exclaim in surprise when they heard this. Their eyes that looked at Ruo Lan instantly carried quite a bit of sympathy.

The bystanders only knew that ColdPlum Peak was the strongest of the Jadecloud Hall's four branches. However, it was hard to say who among them was the strongest.

Usually, the disciples of the Jade Dawn Sect were not allowed to engage in private battles, but they couldn't compare.

However, as the sect leader, Leng Mei Feng was publicly acknowledged to be the strongest.

As for the Dong Yue Han mentioned earlier, he was the number one expert of the Cold Plum Peak.

He hadn't thought that Qu Lian would actually be able to defeat her! From this, it could be seen just how powerful he was!

Hearing the words of the two martial sisters, Ruo Lan's expression became serious.

When she drew the lots earlier, she felt a strong aura permeate the air around Lianlian.

However, this was still under the watchful eyes of everyone, so she didn't want to let go of her Divine Sense to investigate.

However, from the sounds of things, this Qu Lian was most likely the strongest opponent in this year's Four Sect Alliance.

Fairy Lan suddenly spoke up, ”Ruo Lan.”

”Disciple is here.”

”If that Qu Lian enters the arena with the Plum Fragrance Divine Sword in her hand, you must be careful. If you lose, do not try to be brave.” Fairy Lan slowly said.

Ruo Lan was startled. ”Why?”

Fairy Lan turned her head and her gaze fell on the Cold Plum Peak.

”A plum blossom sword is not scary, but if that Qu Lian had learned the secret sword art of Cold Plum Peak, then he could truly bring out the full might of the plum blossom sword. Disregarding Lianlian's own cultivation, just that divine sword is not something which you can defend against. ”

Fairy Lan slightly paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, ”As far as I know, the missing Ao Xue didn't learn that sword art.”

As he spoke, the sound of bells ringing rang out in the arena. The originally noisy drill grounds instantly quietened down.

One of the envoys sent by Immortal Lingyue stood up and smiled at Fairy Lan.

Fairy Lan's face reddened slightly as she turned her head away.

That person didn't say anything as he walked into the arena.

Ruo Lan's heart skipped a beat and she whispered into Xi Ling's ear, ”Senior Xi Ling, who is that?” Why are you flirting with our master? ”

”That person …” Xi Ling had a mischievous smile on her face as she scanned Fairy Lan's face with her intelligent eyes.

”What kind of eye contact?! ”Little girl, don't speak nonsense!” Fairy Lan scolded with a red face.

Xi Ling covered her mouth and chuckled. Ruo Lan seemed to have figured something out by the side.

Seeing her two most beloved disciples staring at her with such dubious expressions, Fairy Lan felt her cheeks heat up. She glared at them and then said in a low voice, ”That is the messenger of the God of Heaven. His name is Tian Ling.”

”The Sky Spirit Child?”

Ruo Lan was frowning as she considered the name. Suddenly, she heard Breaking Dawn chuckle.

”Our Master isn't flirting with others. She's just greeting them.” Xi Ling laughed lightly.

Ruo Lan felt like her head was filled with greetings. ”What do you mean?”

”This son of the Heavenly Spirit is familiar with our Yulan peak, but his junior brother is even more familiar with us.”

”What nonsense is this!” Fairy Lan glared at Breaking Dawn.

Xi Ling said with a mischievous expression, ”Master, I don't dare to speak nonsense.” Isn't the junior brother of that Heavenly Spirit Child someone we're familiar with? ”

Fairy Lan couldn't do anything about her beloved disciple, so she just snorted and didn't say anything else.
