"I seem to have seen you before?"
"Is this still a way to hit on someone these days?"
Although she wasn't completely confident in her puppet - control technique, no one except her master and Xiao Xi had ever seen through her disguise technique.
"Fine. Are you from Xiufu?"
"No."
"Why did you help that person?"
"I felt like it."
"Who on earth are you?"
"Do I know you?"
Looking at Yong Shanling, who was unyielding, Nan Min felt a bit troubled. He sat beside her, and the silence between them was a bit eerie.
"I know a girl who looks a bit like you, but also a bit different."
"So?"
"If you tell me about yourself, I'll introduce her to you."
Nan Min grinned at her.
But she still looked cold: "Are you out of your mind?"
"I see you don't have any friends around. Can't I introduce some to you?"
Yong Shanling was a bit puzzled: "He seemed quite normal in the manor and the garden. Why has he suddenly gone crazy?"
"No, thanks."
"You're so cold. The girl I know is silly but not as cold as you."
"Then go find her."
"Yong Shanling is not an easy girl to handle."
Hearing his words, Yong Shanling couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows. What have I done...
"If she has a boyfriend, it'll be tough..."
"She's single."
"Cough, cough."
Yong Shanling was shocked by his quick denial. She didn't remember when she had become single.
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course... Otherwise, it would be betrayal. But betrayal is a terrifying thing..."
"Betrayal..."
Yong Shanling lowered her head, with a different kind of emotion in her eyes.
"Just kidding. Don't take it seriously." Nan Min patted her head.
"Don't touch me." Yong Shanling was a bit disgusted by his action.
Nan Min didn't care and just got up and walked away. Naizi easily won her match. The competition progressed quickly, and soon the first round was over.
They were given a ten - minute break. When the bell rang again for the second round, the card in her hand was still blank. This made her suspect that someone was up to something behind the scenes.
Since there were quite a few casualties in the first round, there were only a few people left in the second round. Nan Min and Naizi were very fast and quickly finished their matches. In the third round, there were only four people left: her, Nan Min, Naizi, and a man.
She started to feel a bit nervous. After all, she had shown many of her moves in front of Nan Min, and it was easy to expose herself if she wasn't careful.
"Ding, ding, ding."
After three rings, a name appeared on her card. It was Naizi for the second match. She looked up and met Naizi's eyes, then quickly looked away.
Naizi looked at Nan Min beside her and smiled: "Do you like her? I saw you chatting quite happily with her just now."
Nan Min took another look at her. The yellowish white dress, the red - and - black face, and the messy hair. Nan Min decided not to look anymore.
"Are you joking? My taste is different from yours."
"Do you hope she wins or... I win? Hmm?" Naizi wrapped her arm around Nan Min's.
"Of course... Let's see who has the real strength?" Nan Min let go of Naizi's hand and stepped onto the stage.
Naizi looked at his departing back helplessly, then looked at her again. This time, her eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.
Yong Shanling didn't care how Naizi looked at her. She still buried herself in her plan.
"Qingyuan, I heard Naizi is a killing maniac. Can we beat her?"
"She probably attacks very fiercely. Should we attack secretly?"
"Sure. As long as we beat her, I'll find out what I need to know."
"It's my turn to play..."
Nan Min had easily finished his match and was sitting next to Naizi.
Naizi and she stepped onto the stage together and stood on opposite sides. After a whistle, Naizi couldn't wait to rush over. Her speed was so fast that it scared her. A knife was easily plunged into her chest.
Naizi pulled out the knife and looked down at her contemptuously. But the big screen didn't show who had won. A look of surprise flashed in Naizi's eyes. Suddenly, she felt something under her feet and was tripped by vines to the ground.
Standing behind the vines was Yong Shanling. Of course, the one who had stepped onto the stage just now was a substitute she had created to test Naizi. It was easy to see that Naizi was impulsive, irritable, and... had a terrifying desire to kill.
"Tsk, such bad luck." Naizi looked at her unhappily.
A look of surprise flashed in Nan Min's eyes: "It seems this little one has some skills."
Naizi pulled out the long knife from her umbrella. Since there were many people around, if the matter about the wooden sword master came out, she would surely be in trouble. And the vines couldn't withstand her rapid attacks, which also troubled her.
"Barrier, summon."
In an instant, the surrounding environment was plunged into darkness. The people in the audience were a bit panicked at the change, while the thirteen people in the second - floor stands were quite surprised by Yong Shanling's move.
"Master, it seems this little one has some skills. But if Naizi isn't careful, she might lose."
Hongye poured tea for the master and said slowly. The master leaned back on the sofa, not paying any attention to her actions.
"Sister Hong, Naizi is sure to lose this round. My friend is so powerful. How could she lose to her?" Xiao Xi looked at her on the stage happily.
Han Chu smiled: "You have such a friend?"
"So what? You don't need to mind my friends." Xiao Xi looked at Han Chu unhappily.
Looking at the illusory barrier, Naizi watched as the water slowly rose under her feet. When she tried to lift her foot, she found she couldn't move it. She was suddenly panicked.
"What on earth did you do! Unlock it for me now!"
Yong Shanling lifted the long knife in her hand and walked towards her: "If I cut off your card... I'll win, right?"
"Such a despicable method is not a real victory."
Naizi looked at her wildly, her face flushed like a wild beast, and her pupils had already turned red.
Yong Shanling suddenly rushed towards her. Naizi closed her eyes, her eyelids trembling. But there was no pain on her body. She tentatively opened her eyes, and Yong Shanling's enlarged figure appeared in front of her.
The long knife was on her neck: "So, is this a victory?"
A look of sharpness flashed in Yong Shanling's eyes. When she took the long knife away, Naizi suddenly fell to the ground. Nan Min suddenly sent a message to her: "I'm really looking forward to having a match with you."
She had already withdrawn the barrier. Just as she was about to cut off Naizi's card, Naizi suddenly attacked her. After two moves, in an instant, her knife broke.
"Shikigami, summon."
Yong Shanling was a bit headache. If Naizi wasn't so difficult to deal with, she wouldn't have wanted to use a shikigami. The barrier could only be activated once a day.
