Shui Qiu took off the token hanging on the ninth-grade Qi-refining spirit beast, frowned suddenly, and spoke to the person behind him.

"Come out."

rustling --

Two men and one woman slowly walked out from the bushes. Their realm was either the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

"It seems that you also know," the female cultivator crossed her arms and sneered, "what is coming will always come. We can't let you obtain any of the family's skills!"

"Besides, why should we let a person from another family take advantage of the Yan family?" the tall male cultivator mocked. "The Yan family has treated you well by letting you grow up to this age, but you still want to take advantage of us!"

"How shameless!"

The three of them were talking to each other in sharp and piercing voices.

If it was the blue-eyed girl who ran away from home, she would probably lower her head and bite her lips, not daring to say a word.

but……

Shui Qiu looked at his clenched hands.

But I have learned what "self-reliance" means from my senior sister!

"Stop talking nonsense," she said to the three people, imitating Tang Xin's usual cold tone, "It's not your turn to judge my affairs! Come if you want!"

Perhaps it was because they had never seen such an oppressive look on Shui Qiu, the three people who were yelled at were all stunned.

This girl has only been away for half a year, how come she seems like a different person?

"Hmph, I think you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!" The female cultivator said in a sharp voice, "Then I will use my strength to wake you up!"

……

Tang Xin observed the changes in the situation on the field from a distance.

Shui Qiu was fighting one against three, and was besieged by three of the top disciples of the Yan family. He was at a disadvantage and could only rely on the advantage of "instant casting of water attribute spells" to hover.

"Alas, the special training time is still a little short!"

The chief sister sat on the tree trunk, looking at the fight between the two sides from afar, and commented while chewing an apple.

"She should be told that the most important rule in battle is to use all possible means, pull hair, step on toes, attack vital parts... use whatever means to injure. She is still too naive..."

Obviously, the water arrow technique can be performed almost instantly, so why not shoot between the opponent's legs? Shoot at the upper body, the person is the easiest to defend against!

However, even in this "fair" battle, Shui Qiu still did not show signs of defeat, and even turned the disadvantage around bit by bit.

This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. The latter get bored after a while of fighting, while the former get stronger and stronger.

"How can this guy be so powerful?!" "Don't worry about it, just wear her down!" "She won't last long."

The Yan family disciples seemed to want to prolong the battle and use their advantages in realm and numbers to exhaust Shui Qiu.

Consumption?

"The more excited they are, the more water they will produce. Are they playing with consumption?" Tang Xin casually threw the fruit core to the ground. "Which party is the one who is exhausted to death? There is no need to say more..."

After a stick of incense.

"How, how is it possible? How come her water arrow technique can be used infinitely!" "Monster, this guy is simply a monster!" "I can't understand it!"

“I’m not the same person anymore.”

Shui Qiu looked indifferently at the boy and girl who always bullied him in the past, and said in a flat tone.

"You will no longer be in my sight, because... my future achievements will far surpass yours!"

wow——

The water flows gathered from all directions and formed a huge water column, which fell from the sky and swept up the three exhausted Qi-refining monks.

“Ah!” “Ugh!”

The water column wrapped them around and when it dispersed, the three of them had lost consciousness.

The girl took a breath, walked forward expressionlessly, and took all their tokens.

As for people, he didn't even glance at them.

Seeing this, Tang Xin in the distance also turned over and got down from the tree and walked out of the field.

First place in the hunting battle is a foregone conclusion.

……

The hunting war is over.

When Shui Qiu returned to the gathering point safely, the Yan family head and elders all looked unhappy.

Obviously, even without statistics, they knew the results.

"First place, Shui Qiu..."

If the mysterious figure who came back with the blue-eyed girl made them feel fearful, then the strength displayed by Shui Qiu in the hunting battle was beyond their comprehension.

Is she still that useless person who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining but still can't cast a fireball? !

"Senior sister~"

Shui Qiu completely ignored the elders and disciples, and trotted towards Tang Xin with flushed cheeks.

"It seems," Tang Xin pretended not to know what happened, raised an eyebrow and said, "You performed well?"

"not bad……"

Shui Qiu said coyly.

"As long as I have my senior sister in my heart, I feel full of strength!"

[The main quest "Help Shui Qiu win first place in the hunting battle" has been completed]

[Reward: "Sublimation of Temperament"]

"It's not worth being so happy about such a simple thing," Tang Xin deliberately used a calm tone to hit her. "By the way, do you feel that I have changed?"

What exactly is this “sublimation of temperament”?

"Senior sister looks even more badass than before, humph, really, you should praise me..."

Shui Qiu pinched her nose and muttered.

What?

Tang Xin looked at the pool on the ground.

I go……

Why do I look more like a villain now? Now I can play the role of a "vicious and cruel" villain in a costume drama without makeup!

How the hell is this going to elevate your temperament?

Just at this moment——

"Ms. Shui Qiu?"

An abrupt male voice rang out in public.

Following the sound, I saw a young man in his mid-twenties, accompanied by several older monks, who looked quite powerful.

As soon as Shui Qiu saw him, her brows furrowed.

"Who?"

Tang Xin asked.

"The eldest son of the Zhou family," the girl whispered, "is the one that the Yan family is planning to marry me to... If they come here at this time, it must be up to no good."

"is that so……"

The corners of Tang Xin's mouth twitched, and an expression of "evil villain" automatically appeared on his face.

This temperament seems to be unchangeable...

"Don't worry, I'm still here!"

Chapter 28 Young People Today

Half a year ago, Shui Qiu ran away from home, which not only caused him to fall out with the Yan family, but also caused the Zhou family in Qixing City to lose face.

On the Zhou family side, the one who was going to marry Shui Qiu was the eldest son, who was much higher than Shui Qiu in terms of status and position. Although the latter was also a "direct" descendant, he was in a bad situation in the family and had poor "talent". It was a good thing for him to marry the eldest son of the Zhou family.

Even so, she actually refused the marriage proposal by running away from home, making the Zhou family a laughing stock among the cultivators in Seven Star City.

Seeing the person who had been missing for half a year appear, they naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

"Miss Shuiqiu," the young man said with a smile, "I hope you are well."

Appearing with the eldest son of the Zhou family were three seventh-grade foundation-building stage and one eighth-grade foundation-building stage. They were all core elders of the clan.

If they were just coming to say hello, there would be no need to send out such a large force.

"Hello," Shui Qiu frowned and said, "I have nothing to do here. Goodbye!"

After saying that, the blue-eyed girl was about to leave.

"Wait a moment," the Zhou family's people calmly blocked the way. The young man's expression changed and he said in a deep voice, "We have something we want to discuss with you. Would you mind doing us a favor?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say anything about family matters. You should go find the clan leader!"

Although Shui Qiu has a simple personality, he is not stupid and has already realized that the other party has bad intentions.

"We have already sought the consent of the head of the Yan family," the eldest son of the Zhou family said with half-closed eyes, "It won't take too long. I hope you can cooperate."

It turns out that the head of the Yan family is also interfering. This guy really won't give up...
