Chapter 259 The Grand Competition is About to Begin
As we stepped out of Huaiqing Hall, the sun had already set, and its golden afterglow bathed the peaks of Lingxu Sect, giving the entire sect a golden halo that was exceptionally beautiful.
Xuan Qing was still sulking, glaring at Xue Yang every now and then, muttering under her breath, "Hmph, you just wait, I'll make you look at me in a completely different light tomorrow!"
Xueyang laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, I'll be waiting. If you dare to dawdle tomorrow, see how I deal with you!"
Watching the two bickering, Wei Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the tension and doubt in his heart dissipated considerably.
Although tomorrow's sect competition is destined to be fierce, and there are those eager-to-achieve disciples watching from the sidelines, he is no longer afraid.
He has a decisive and forthright friend like Xueyang, a simple and obedient junior brother like Xuanqing, gentle and caring senior brothers and sisters like Yuhuai and Jingming, and the Lingxu Sect that they protect together.
He believed that as long as they worked together, they would surely shine in tomorrow's sect competition and prevent those people from breaking the seal, thus protecting the cultivation path of the Lingxu Sect.
"Brother Wei Yu, what are you laughing at?" Xuan Qing noticed Wei Yu's smile and asked curiously.
Wei Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just feel that it's really great to have friends and junior brothers like you."
Xueyang laughed heartily: "Brother Wei, you're being too polite! Since we're fellow disciples, we should support and help each other. Let's do our best in tomorrow's competition!"
"Alright! Let's cheer each other on!" Xuan Qing raised his fist and shouted. The anger on his face had disappeared, replaced by determination and expectation.
The three smiled at each other and walked side by side toward Qingxuan Pavilion, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun.
Back at Qingxuan Pavilion, Han Xuanxuan and Xia Gui were sitting in the courtyard, chattering excitedly about tomorrow's sect competition.
"Brother Wei Yu! Senior Brother Xuan Qing! Senior Brother Xue Yang! You're back!" Han Xuanxuan saw the three of them and immediately skipped over, a bright smile on her face.
Xia Gui also rushed over, asking curiously, "Brother Wei Yu, Senior Brother Xuan Qing, Senior Brother Xue Yang, what brings our eldest brother to you? Is it related to tomorrow's competition?"
Xuan Qing smiled and ruffled Han Xuanxuan's hair: "Yes, it's related to tomorrow's competition, but it's a small matter, so you don't need to worry."
He didn't tell the two little ones that someone in the sect had proposed breaking the seal, for fear of worrying them and affecting their mood.
Han Xuanxuan's eyes lit up. She grabbed Wei Yu's hand and said excitedly, "Brother Wei Yu, you must do your best in tomorrow's competition! Junior Brother Xia Gui and I will cheer you on!"
"And Senior Brother Xuanqing, Senior Brother Xueyang, you two also need to work hard! I hope all three of you can achieve good results!"
Xia Gui nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Wei Yu, Senior Brother Xuan Qing, Senior Brother Xue Yang, you must do your best! We believe in you!"
Looking into the sincere eyes of the two little ones, all three felt a warmth in their hearts.
Xueyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xuanxuan, Xiagui, we will definitely do our best and won't let you down!"
Xuan Qing nodded: "Yes."
Wei Yu gently patted Han Xuanxuan's head and said tenderly, "Thank you, Xuanxuan, thank you, Xia Gui. We will do our best to achieve good results and live up to your expectations."
Afterwards, the three of them returned to their respective rooms to make final preparations.
Wei Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the Mind-Concentrating Pill given to him by Jingming, poured out one, and put it in his mouth.
The Mind-Concentrating Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a cool spiritual energy spread throughout his body in an instant, nourishing his meridians and soul, calming his previously restless mind.
He closed his eyes, circulating his spiritual energy to absorb the effects of the Mind-Concentrating Pill while recalling what Yu Huai and Xue Yang had said. He mentally simulated the scene of tomorrow's competition, reminding himself to act decisively, accurately, and ruthlessly, without hesitation.
He secretly made up his mind that in tomorrow's competition, he would not only prove his strength, but also help Yu Huai and Jing Ming, stop those people from breaking the seal, protect the Lingxu Sect, and protect the people around him who truly cared for him.
On the other side, Xuan Qing returned to his room. Instead of immediately meditating and regulating his breathing, he picked up his longsword and practiced the sword moves over and over again, deliberately reminding himself not to hesitate and to strike quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.
Although he would occasionally unconsciously pull back his strength, he did not give up. He practiced again and again until his arms ached, then he stopped, sat cross-legged, absorbed the effects of the Mind-Concentrating Pill, and stabilized his cultivation.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he must get rid of his procrastination habit in tomorrow's competition, perform well, and not let Xueyang look down on him, nor let his senior brother, second senior sister, Wei Yu, Xuanxuan, and Xia Gui be disappointed.
Xueyang maintained his own rhythm, sitting cross-legged on the bed, circulating his spiritual power, compressing the spiritual energy in his body, and further solidifying his foundation.
His cultivation level had stabilized at the late Golden Core stage, just one step away from the Nascent Soul stage. However, he was not in a hurry to break through. Instead, he followed his sect leader's instructions and gradually compressed his spiritual energy to make his foundation more stable.
He knew that in tomorrow's grand competition, those who proposed breaking the seal would definitely send their strongest disciples, wanting to use the opportunity to prove their point of view. Therefore, he had to go all out, not only to win, but to win beautifully, so that those people would know that a solid foundation is true strength.
In the courtyard of Qingxuan Pavilion, Han Xuanxuan and Xia Gui were still sitting at the stone table, chattering about tomorrow's competition, imagining the three of them shining in the competition, their faces full of anticipation.
As night fell, the lights of the Lingxu Sect gradually lit up, like stars adorning the majestic mountain peaks, shining exceptionally brightly.
The entire Lingxu Sect fell into silence, with only the occasional sounds of cultivation and the disciples' hushed conversations foreshadowing the fierce sect competition tomorrow.
Inside Huaiqing Hall, Yu Huai and Jingming were still sitting at the stone table, discussing tomorrow's grand competition and the disciples who had suggested breaking the seal.
"Senior Brother, what kind of tricks do you think those people will pull tomorrow?" Whale Cry asked gently, but with a hint of worry in his voice.
Yu Huai took a sip of spiritual tea and said calmly, "No matter what tricks they pull, we have ways to deal with them."
"The Wei brothers, Xuanqing, and Xueyang are all very capable, and they all understand the importance of a solid foundation. As long as they are careful, they will not fall into those people's trap."
"Moreover, we are here. Even if they encounter any trouble, we will step in to help them in time. We will never let those people succeed, nor will we let Wei Yu and the others suffer any injustice."
Jingming nodded, a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, with you here, I feel at ease."
"I hope the competition will proceed smoothly tomorrow, and I hope Wei Yu and his team can perform to their usual standard and achieve good results. At the same time, I hope that those who are eager for quick success will realize their mistakes."
Yu Huai nodded, his gaze firm: "Yes, it will happen, it definitely will."
Inside the Frost Condensation Palace, Frost Condensation was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating with her eyes closed. She exuded a faint chill, appearing aloof and cold.
But in her heart, she was also silently watching the sect competition tomorrow, and paying attention to Wei Yu, Xuan Qing, and Xue Yang.
She had also heard that some people in the sect had proposed to break the seal, and she was very disdainful of them. Those people were eager for quick success and short-sighted, and did not understand the true meaning of cultivation at all.
