The next morning, everyone arrived at the Three Towers early. After yesterday's competition, there were still ten teams left. Following the old rules, it was a draw again, but this time it was done by the judges. This time, Rainbow Cat's opponent was Fei Long Wu Guan, which was mentioned yesterday.
After the elimination round, the remaining martial arts schools were naturally the best. Since the high-level matches would take longer, the judge announced: "From today on, only three matches will be held each day. Moreover, we have specially invited three pavilion masters to watch the game!" The audience was in an uproar, "Why didn't these pavilion masters come out for the previous two matches?" "Ah, it's simple, the previous elimination round was mainly to eliminate those with average martial arts skills, or even those who were just pretending. And among them, there were many rich young masters who relied on their wealth and connections."
"Yes, the later matches are getting more and more exciting, only masters competing against each other now!"
The audience chattered, and the judge loudly announced: "Now I declare that the third round of the San Tai Yan competition officially begins. First, the first match..." Looking at the judge speaking on stage, Xiao Li said to Hong Mao: "Hong Mao, it seems that today's competition won't be our turn, why don't we go back to the inn first?"
The Rainbow Cat nodded, but they still needed to practice a bit more, so he said: "Alright then, let's head back for now and come again tomorrow." The others all nodded in agreement, and the five of them returned to the inn together. Teng Long Wu Jie noticed them and quietly followed behind.
After the five returned to the inn, they gathered in Hongmao's room. Lan Tu said: "Hongmao, yesterday when I and Dingdang sister went back to our room, we met Tenglong Wujie, they seemed to have doubts about our identities."
Rainbow cat listened and asked anxiously, "Did they do anything to you?" Blue rabbit shook his head. Dangdang beside him saw Rainbow cat's tense expression and felt a bit angry. Why didn't Rainbow cat care about himself? So he took over the conversation and said, "Originally they wouldn't let us leave, fortunately Blue rabbit was clever and pretended to scare them, unexpectedly they really believed it and even treated us with respect."
"Hongmao let out a sigh of relief and said, 'You've done well, Blue Rabbit. From now on, try to avoid them as much as possible and don't engage in direct conflict with them.'"
The blue rabbit and Dangdang nodded. At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and everyone looked at it, only to find that it was Qingtou. Qingtou took a look
To Blue Rabbit, suddenly tearfully: "Palace Master!"
Although Blue Rabbit changed her appearance due to the Fountain of Youth, she could still be recognized. Rainbow Cat smiled faintly and said: "Green Rabbit, you've come really quickly."
The green rabbit wiped away tears and said, "I received the letter and rushed over immediately. Who are these people..." Rainbow cat introduced them: "These two are Hanshan and Dingdang, one of the Phoenix Five."
"Ah, it's Cold Sky Young Master and Dingdang Young Lady, my apologies for not recognizing you earlier," said Qingtu as he bowed with his fists. He then took out a sword wrapped in cloth and handed it to Lantu, saying: "Young Master Hongmao, since the Palace Master's memories are gone, does that mean the Bingpo Sword Technique has also been forgotten?"
Rainbow Cat nodded and said, "Sorry, I didn't protect Blue Rabbit well." Green Rabbit said, "Young Master Rainbow Cat doesn't have to blame himself. During this period of time, I'll stay here to take care of the palace owner!"
"Hong Mao listened and shook his head, saying: 'This is probably not suitable, the Jade Toad Palace still needs someone to take care of it. If someone from the martial arts world comes to visit, we will uniformly tell them that the palace master is ill and cannot receive guests, please ask them to come back another day.' Qing Tu felt this was reasonable, so he said: 'Then I'll go back first, Hong Mao young master, the palace master will trouble you.'"
Then he turned to Blue Rabbit and said: "Master, this is the jade pendant left by Jade Rabbit Fairy from the Jade Toad Palace. Jade Rabbit Fairy once said that this jade pendant has a mysterious mechanism, which can play an unexpected role at critical moments, and may help you recover your memory." Blue Rabbit took the jade pendant and said: "Thank you, Green Rabbit." Green Rabbit's eyes were moist, saying: "Master, take care, everyone, take care, I'll leave?"
After finishing speaking, he left the inn. Blue Rabbit looked at this crystal-clear jade pendant, which seemed to be emitting a faint glow, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, so he rubbed his temples. Rainbow Cat saw Blue Rabbit's action and was about to speak when Han Tian interrupted: "Blue Rabbit, are you okay?" His expression showed some concern and care.
"I'm fine, thank you, Brother Chantian." Blue Rabbit shook his head and smiled. He then said to Rainbow Cat: "By the way, Rainbow Cat, I haven't tried out the Jade Maiden Sword that Green Rabbit brought over earlier. I think I'll give it a try." Rainbow Cat said: "Okay! Dingdang says: 'I'll go ask Little Er where there's a place to practice.'" And so he went downstairs to ask Little Er.
Xiao Er told Dingdang, go out and turn right, walk all the way, then turn left and there is a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a place full of flowers and grass, very beautiful, just right for practicing skills.
The five of them followed the direction given by Xiao Er and arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they saw a vast expanse of green grass and wildflowers. Not far away was a tree, and the area was very spacious, indeed suitable for practicing martial arts. The five of them each found their own spot to start practicing.
Lan Tu put the Jade Maiden Sword on her back, and with her right hand, she drew out the sword and swung it a few times. It was strange that although she didn't know how to use a sword, she felt no unfamiliarity with this sword in her hand.
The blue rabbit began to dance involuntarily, and for some reason, this sword was so handy. She gently closed her eyes, threw away all distractions, and just followed her heart.
The four people beside them, seeing this scene, were both shocked and delighted, and stopped to gaze at Blue Rabbit. They saw Blue Rabbit swing her hand forward, rotating the hilt of the sword with her wrist, and the blade also danced along with it. She opened her arms wide, swept her foot, and the petals floated up. Blue Rabbit lightly jumped, stepped on the petals in mid-air, and danced with her sword, each move gentle, and the sword body was faintly emitting a strong sword aura.
Everyone couldn't help but stare blankly, Han Tian and Dang Dang had never thought that practicing swordsmanship could be so beautiful... Until Blue Rabbit stopped and slowly opened her eyes, looking at everyone with a stunned expression, she asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you guys?"
"Hong Mao was the first to come back to his senses, and he rushed over excitedly to ask Lan Tu: "Lan Tu, do you remember the Bing Po sword technique?" Lan Tu replied somewhat dazedly: "I don't know, I just did it subconsciously, I...I didn't...ah!" Lan Tu tried hard to recall, but her mind was a complete blank, and the waves of sharp pain in her head made her almost faint."
"Blue Rabbit, what's wrong!" Rainbow Cat was shocked and pale, while Han Tian also looked worried. Looking at Blue Rabbit's pale face, Rainbow Cat felt a pang in her heart, and quickly scooped up Blue Rabbit in her arms, rushing towards the inn. Dingdang couldn't care about anything else now, seeing Blue Rabbit's painful expression, she too couldn't help but worry, so she followed along with Xiao Li and Han Tian. Behind a tree, Arrow Heart had been watching everything: "It seems like she really is the Palace Master of Blue Rabbit...but somehow it doesn't feel quite right..." He thought to himself, then quickly left to report back to Teng Long Wu Jie.
