Chapter 245 The Cat Who Stepped on Its Tail

Mo Hanyu paused, glanced at Qin Xiao who was leaning on his shoulder, and his aura softened, and his restless heart gradually calmed down.

This was a competition between Xia Wuliao and Yin Xihui. Xia Wuliao was covered in black flames, and the scorching flames seemed to burn everything when he waved his hand. The flames around him flickered with the looming figure of the fire phoenix, and the phoenix's cry faintly echoed in his ears. However, it was only a rough idea, and he was unable to use his full strength.

If the competition lasted longer, perhaps we could get the full picture.

If they were to fight head-on, Yin Xihui would have no chance of winning. The blazing flames passed by, turning into a rain of fire that fell down, leaving no place to hide.

After the competition, it was time for lunch. Before Mo Hanyu woke Qin Xiao up, Qin Xiao opened his eyes.

"... Let's go and have something to eat." Mo Hanyu looked at him and couldn't help but reach out and touch his frizzy hair. "Your game is in the afternoon."

Qin Xiao responded and slowly stood up. He noticed the devastated ground, paused, looked at Yin Xihui, who was charred all over and was tremblingly helping Qiu Puyue to stand up, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Tian Miao trotted all the way over to give him treatment.

He hasn't reached the Xuan realm yet.

Qin Xiao could roughly see that his realm should be at the upper level of Chen realm.

Just as he was thinking about something, an arm fell on his shoulders. The person put his arm around his neck in a familiar manner and spoke with a smile.

"Where is your home in Yuhua? Is it close to here?"

Qin Xiao frowned, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable: "Rongcheng is very far away."

"Very far? How far?" Miao Kaijie raised his eyebrows.

"Shouldn't you report your own before asking others?" Qin Xiao gave him a cold look, and suddenly someone grabbed his arm and pulled him out of Miao Kaijie's arms.

"Can't you talk properly? Hugging and kissing..." Mo Hanyu yelled at Miao Kaijie unhappily, "Are you familiar with him?"

"Hey, what you said..." Miao Kaijie smiled nonchalantly, "Won't it be better if we get to know each other more?"

"you--"

Qin Xiao watched the two people arguing quietly. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Chen Mo seemed to want to say something, but was grabbed by the neck and dragged away by Xia Wule. Although he resisted, the resistance was too small and was ignored.

Lan Huaiqiu went to find Qiu Puryue and asked her about Yin Xihui's condition. He felt relieved after getting a positive reply. After thinking about it, he also helped Yin Xihui.

Yin Xihui paused, but did not refuse.

Qin Xiao noticed someone's eyes on him, and turned around to find that it was Shen Youge. The two looked at each other, and Shen Youge smiled at him politely, gently and intimately.

Qin Xiao paused and nodded at him.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Seeing that Chen Mo was really resisting, Xia Wuliao had no choice but to let him go. He came to Yin Xihui and asked him about his condition, "Are you seriously injured?"

"Fortunately, they are just minor injuries." Yin Xihui smiled.

Although it looks a bit miserable, the internal organs and meridians are not damaged and will recover soon.

"That's fine." Xia Wule nodded and looked at Qin Xiao who was not far away. "Do you know him?"

"We've dealt with each other before."

"What kind of person is he?"

“…I don’t know how to describe it.” Yin Xihui looked at the boy in front of him who was surrounded by two people. His dark pupils could not reflect anything. He chuckled and said, “It’s quite interesting.”

"Oh?" Xia Wu raised an eyebrow, put his arm on his shoulder, slowly moved closer, and breathed warmly on his ear. "What's so interesting about this?"

Yin Xihui turned his head and looked at the extremely beautiful face in front of him, smiling slightly: "It would be boring to reveal it in advance. Good tea should be tasted in person, and people should be seen in person..."

"Isn't that right, Senior?"

Xia Wule's brown and reddish eyes reflected the smile of the black-haired boy. After a moment of silence, he snorted, "Come to think of it, why did you come here? Even if you can't get into Lei Ting's academy, doesn't Yuhua have a good academy that accepts outsiders?"

"Didn't I tell you..." Yin Xihui pretended to be wronged, grabbed Qiu Puryue who was lost in thought beside him, and hugged her arm, "Of course it's for my good friend..."

Qiu Pu Yue's body stiffened. She looked at him inexplicably with a complicated look in her eyes. She pursed her lips, quickly restrained her emotions, and met Xia Wu's inquiring gaze with a shy smile.

Tian Miao stood by, clueless. He wanted to treat Yin Xihui immediately, but was told to wait until he got back to the dormitory. Lan Huaiqiu was confused. Xia Wule deliberately didn't want her to hear what Yin Xihui said. She felt a little strange looking at their strange attitudes.

Xia Wule smiled twice with deep meaning, and without further exploration, he patted his shoulders twice, turned around, took two steps to catch up with Chen Mo, and threw himself on his back.

"carried me!"

Chen Mo was caught off guard by the warmth coming from behind him, like a thunderbolt flashing past: "Xia, Senior Sister Xia!?"

"...Xia." Finally, the dean looked at Xia Wule and coughed twice. Only then did Xia Wule calm down.

"Well... you know I'm lazy." Facing the old man's slightly serious gaze, Xia Wuliao shrugged, stretched, turned around, hugged his arm and started to act coquettishly.

The man obviously had no way to deal with her trick. He shook her twice and couldn't bear to say anything to her. He just patted her on the head.

"Have you two had enough of quarreling?" Qin Xiao's patience finally reached its limit, and he glanced coldly at the two people beside him.

"He was clearly the one provoking me!" Mo Hanyu felt aggrieved.

"How can we make a scene? We are clearly communicating in a friendly manner." Miao Kaijie spread his hands innocently.

"Then you guys stay away." Qin Xiao nodded his chin, signaling the two to stay away from him.

Miao Kaijie laughed. Mo Hanyu clapped his hands half angrily.

Qin Xiao ignored him, his eyes sliding. Miao Kaijie was staring at Mo Hanyu, with a playful smile on his lips.

As soon as Qin Xiao's eyes fell on him, the young man consciously looked at him and smiled brightly at him.

Qin Xiao did not respond and turned his head away.

really interesting……

Miao Kaijie slowly took a few steps away and walked side by side with Chen Mo behind him.

"Why do you provoke him all day long?" Chen Mo glanced at him, not understanding why he was always obsessed with teasing Mo Hanyu.

"Don't you think it's interesting?" Miao Kaijie looked at the back of the white-haired boy not far away, with a playful smile, "It's cute to see a hypocritical person like him get angry."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Chen Mo followed his gaze to Mo Hanyu who was talking to Qin Xiao, and said in a cold voice.

"That person is very important to him." Miao Kaijie nodded at Qin Xiao, his smile growing, "Since he came here, Mo Hanyu has become different... He's always like a cat whose tail has been stepped on."

...Chen Mo glanced at him, speechless.

What's so cute about it?

Chen Mo looked at Mo Hanyu, unable to understand.

It doesn't look like a cat either.

"...What are you angry about?" Qin Xiao was completely confused.

"How can I be angry? I'm not angry at all." Mo Hanyu turned his head and hugged his arms.

Qin Xiao looked at him quietly for a while, then turned back and said nothing more.

Mo Hanyu waited for a while but got no answer, so he turned around and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

"Didn't you say you weren't angry?" Qin Xiao glanced at him.

"If you're not angry, then you have nothing to say to me?" Mo Hanyu was incredulous.

Qin Xiao shook his head: "No."

Mo Hanyu's brows just relaxed when he heard this——

"I have nothing to say if you're angry."

Mo Hanyu: ...

"Are you trying to piss me off?"

"No way..." Qin Xiao smiled, feeling as if he had succeeded in playing a prank.

Mo Hanyu wanted to get angry when he heard the laughter, but the moment he saw his smile, his anger disappeared without a trace. After a moment of silence, he snorted and turned his face away.

The lunch break passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon, and Qin Xiao had his duel with the girl.

Qin Xiao looked at the young girl with an innocent look on her face, recalled his past experiences, and extended his hand to her: "Hello."

"Hello, hello." Lan Huaiqiu paused and held his hand.

Warm and soft, not what I imagined.

Lan Huaiqiu glanced at him and smiled gently at him.

Qin Xiao was stunned, nodded as if in return, and let go of his hand.

The two of them pulled away from each other. Lan Huaiqiu looked at the motionless boy in front of him and encouraged himself.

Although she couldn't see his realm... she had asked Qiu Puryue about his moves and habits before, so she had some understanding of him.

The attribute is thunder, quick and decisive, and extremely dark and cruel in action.

Lan Huaiqiu stared at Qin Xiao without blinking, trying to see clearly his moves.

But Qin Xiao did nothing. After retreating to a suitable position, he just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her to make a move.

After the two announced the start of the duel, they were silent for more than ten seconds. In the end, Lan Huaiqiu lost his patience and took the first step.

Lan Huaiqiu raised his middle finger and plucked the piano. The sound of the piano suddenly rose, like a sharp sword breaking through the air.

Qin Xiao couldn't see the attack, but he could sense it from the changes around him and dodged it. He intentionally deviated a little when dodging, and the attack left a crack when it passed by.

Is it similar to the air blade attack?

Qin Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, dodging invisible attacks one after another.

It feels a bit like Qin Jichen's wind blade... but the sound of the piano echoing in her ears and her movements all indicate that her attributes should be related to musical instruments.

However, although the sound of the piano is sharp and intimidating, countless invisible attacks dance along with the sound of the piano when it is played, hiding in the air around the body, as delicate as dripping water and falling rocks, as surging as a tidal wave, with countless changes and unpredictable waves.

But it does sound nice.

Qin Xiao was somewhat relieved. From Lan Huaiqiu's picking and picking, he could tell that she had definitely received orthodox training, and the sound she played was pleasant to the ears. Although it was not as good as Qi Yulang's, it was really like listening to heavenly music compared to Qiu Puyue's.

Moreover, Lan Huaiqiu's attacks were different from those he had seen in the academy and the evil organization before. Their voices would be transmitted into the brain, causing either emotional or spiritual tremors and oppression, but Lan Huaiqiu would not.

It was more like she had an invisible machete and controlled when and where to dance.

Qin Xiao wanted to know more, so he just dodged and defended himself in the face of Lan Huaiqiu's various attacks.

His abnormal behavior was clearly seen by everyone outside the venue.

"What does he want to do? Do you know?" Miao Kaijie leaned close to Mo Hanyu and asked in a low voice.

Mo Hanyu gave him an unpleasant look and ignored him.

Miao Kaijie said a few more words, but seeing that he had no intention of paying attention to him, he could only turn his head away in boredom.

Yin Xihui raised his eyebrows interestingly, probably realizing what he was going to do.

"Why is he like this?" Qiu Puryue couldn't see Qin Xiao's intention. When she knew that the few flaws that were unintentionally revealed just now were definitely enough for him to defeat his opponent, why didn't he take action?

Although she had participated in competitions before and roughly understood that there was a type of people who liked to play with opponents weaker than themselves, like a cat playing with a mouse, but Qiu Puryue didn't think Qin Xiao would do that.

It's not his style to toy with his opponents.

Xia Wuliao, who didn't know him well, crossed his arms and his brows relaxed a little.

Sweat gradually seeped out of Lan Huaiqiu's forehead, and he felt a little anxious.

Why is it always a little worse?

Clearly he was about to hit her, and clearly she was about to be hit in the next second, why——

Lan Huaiqiu suddenly paused, as if he had heard thunder, and distanced himself from him again.

Lan Huaiqiu looked at the young man in front of him who also stopped in doubt, sweat dripping down his collar and his fingers began to tremble.

She suddenly thought that it might be luck that they brushed past each other once or twice, but he avoided them every time, which only proved one thing...

He faced these attacks with complete ease!

Then why is he like this?

To make fun of her?

Do you look down on her?!

Lan Huaiqiu gritted his teeth, his eyes became fierce, he raised his hand again, and the tune suddenly changed.

Unlike the previous weird and changeable sound, the piano sound at this time was full of murderous intent. The dense murderous intent was like an invisible net covering it, extremely dangerous.

Qin Xiao could feel that this attack was obviously different.

She used a move similar to a formation.

Qin Xiao had seen a formation called Feng Jian Jue in his previous life. Once the formation was activated, countless sword blades would attack all living things in the formation indiscriminately until there was no life left in the formation.

This is kind of like that, but a little more complicated.

Qin Xiao's toes flashed with lightning, and he took a few steps in the air to avoid the swirling wind blade, then turned around and twisted his hips to avoid the invisible wind thorns again.

This time... the sound of the piano can reach into the soul.

Qin Xiao realized that his soul sea was fluctuating with the music, and his consciousness was also fluctuating.

really interesting.

Qin Xiao became more interested in Le Xiu. He dodged the attack again and looked at the girl gritting her teeth in the distance. He suddenly felt a little puzzled.

The girl stared at him intently, her eyes were already bloodshot, and even a few traces of blood seeped out from between her teeth. The piano in her hands had a faint shadow.

Qin Xiao didn't understand where the resentment in her eyes came from, but it seemed that she couldn't hold on for much longer. The purpose of his research had also been achieved to a certain extent, so he could end it.

After Qin Xiao dodged the next time, he turned over and landed on the ground, his toes touching the ground, his heels flashing with lightning, and his aura suddenly changed.

Lan Huaiqiu's face suddenly changed, and an unreasonable fear occupied his heart. He stared at the figure paused in the distance, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Everything around seemed to darken, and lightning was whistling towards him, its speed even faster than his fingertips plucking the strings of a guitar. A figure flashed in the distance, and then appeared in front of him, attacking him with his knees raised!

Lan Huaiqiu was startled and wanted to use his zither to block the blow, but the zither was like a fragile piece of wood and broke in two the moment it came into contact with him.

Before Lan Huaiqiu could be shocked, Qin Xiao had already twisted his body and kicked her in the abdomen.

Although she realized at the moment of kicking that she was most likely not able to withstand this full-strength kick and retracted half of her strength at the moment of contact, she still kicked the man away, and the man only stopped when he smashed into the surrounding stone wall.

Qin Xiao immediately realized that he had used too much force, and after a moment's hesitation, he quickly ran over. Before the dust stirred up by the stone wall had settled, the girl had already fallen down from the pit in a mess, lying on the ground.

Qin Xiao knelt on one knee, took her into his arms, and was about to say something.

Lan Huaiqiu stared at him, spitting blood into the sky, then lost consciousness and fell limply into his arms.

Qin Xiao looked at the unconscious girl, slowly bit his lower lip, and looked a little helpless.
