Outside Tianyu City, somewhere.
A strong light came from the south and landed abruptly, transforming into Xiang Nan who was carrying a message.
Right in front of Xiang Nan, there was a beautiful flower tree. Under the flower tree, there was a young woman with her beautiful back facing Xiang Nan.
When she heard Xiang Nan's footsteps, her body trembled.
Looking back, Meng Die's face was already full of tears. She called out for her good brother and flew into Xiang Nan's embrace.
"I've finally seen you again. Do you know that for the past six months, your figure has been in my mind day and night? Your appearance, the smell of your body."
Xiang Nan stroked Dream butterfly 's long hair and looked at her big bow. An unprecedented silence suddenly arose in her heart.
Everything was so familiar. He had experienced many tribulations with this woman, and he had also escaped death several times to celebrate the joy after the tribulation.
Those days were dark, but when Xiang Nan recalled them now, he only felt a strong sense of familiarity in his heart.
Xiang Nan was not a merciless wood. He hugged Dream butterfly tightly and said softly, "Are your poisonous injuries better?"
Dream butterfly drilled into Xiang Nan's embrace and nodded forcefully, "Alright, it's already recovered."
She raised her head and giggled, comparing Xiang Nan's height, saying, "Half a year no see, you've grown a lot taller. You've changed from a youth to a young man."
"My good brother has grown up and is a man."
Xiang Nan blushed slightly and said, "What do you mean by becoming a man? I have always been a man."
Dream butterfly scratched Xiang Nan's nose and said, "You used to be about the same height as me, but now you're a head taller than me."
"Good brother ..."
The Dream butterfly 's tone suddenly softened. She looked at Xiang Nan with her big watery eyes and said, "Why don't you stop competing and run away with me?"
"Is it not good for us to live happily together? Why do we have to fight and kill?"
Xiang Nan's eyes flickered with a boundless longing. He was a martial artist driven by hatred, but what he yearned for the most in his heart was that kind of peaceful life.
He wanted to live a good life, to taste delicious food, to visit great rivers and mountains as an ordinary person, and to enjoy everything in life.
However, the memories that had disappeared from his mind left him with no choice but to bury this wish in his heart.
"You know." Xiang Nan rubbed Dream butterfly 's hair and said, "At this point, I can't turn around anymore. Even if I want to leave the martial arts world, I can't do it myself."
Meng Die lowered her head. She knew what Xiang Nan meant. All martial artists couldn't help it. The Haoran Sect needed Xiang Nan, the The Xiang Clan needed Xiang Nan, and many, many people needed Xiang Nan.
A martial artist was originally like this. Living was no longer for him alone. Even the Heavenly Devil Religion, which ignored morality, was like this. Dream butterfly also cared about her master very much. She could not leave without saying goodbye.
Family, kindness, love, friendship, fetters us, let us become a drop of water in the Sea of Bitterness world, forever unable to transcend.
Sky-piercing sounds could be heard from the sky.
Xiang Nan looked up and saw a sneaky bird already standing on his shoulder.
The little bird was holding Xiang Nan's storage ring and flipping out all the messy things inside. It threw them all over the ground and stuffed them into its bosom with only shiny things.
The Dream butterfly couldn't help but laugh, "The little bird can't be satisfied. I gave it a lot of gems, and it will always yearn for the gems it didn't get."
Xiang Nan was incomparably excited when he saw Little Sparrow again. He smiled and said, "This little fellow has always been like this. He won't stop no matter how much treasure you give him."
Ding! The little bird narrowed its eyes, and a cold light flashed through its eyes. It flapped its wings on Xiang Nan's face.
"There are still two days left in the second stage of the Sect Ranking Tournament. Let's go. I'll accompany you for the next two days. Let's take a stroll around Tianyu City." Xiang Nan rubbed Dreambutterfly's hair.
Dream butterfly cheered and was overjoyed.
These two days, the two of them really put down everything in the world of martial arts and concentrated on being an ordinary person.
They walked the streets of Tianyu City, ate snacks on the roadside without any scruples, held hands in the library, and listened to the storyteller telling soul-stirring stories.
They drank under the flowers and watched the lanterns by the willow lake.
Xiang Nan forgot that he was a disciple of the Haoran Sect, and Dream butterfly forgot that she was a member of the Heavenly Devil Sect.
Two young men and women with completely opposite positions finally experienced the life of an ordinary person. It turned out that the world of an ordinary person was as colorful as the world of an ordinary person.
On the third day, Xiang Nan had no choice but to separate from Dreambutterfly and go to Star Gazing City.
He originally planned to leave the little bird to Dream butterfly, but the little bird refused.
To be honest, Dream butterfly 's status in the Heavenly Devil Religion was lofty, but to Little Sparrow, there was only one word that could summarize this period of life, and that was: Boring.
Because Dream butterfly's identity was too special, no one in Heavenly Devil Cult dared to disobey her.
On the contrary, it was only by following a "nobody" like Xiang Nan that he had always been in danger, adventurous, and fun.
Although the little bird was just a bird, it still yearned for a wonderful bird.
Xiang Nan made an agreement with Meng Die. After the sect ranking tournament ended, he would go find Meng Die and play with her for a few months.
"Let's go. The new life between us brothers is about to begin again." Xiang Nan rubbed the bird's furry forehead with his finger.
The little bird stood on Xiang Nan's shoulder majestically, pointing its wings forward, as if saying, "Let's go! This sovereign will take you to conquer the world!"
Xiang Nan found the slaughter that was waiting for him in the wilderness and took him to Star Gazing City.
Star Gazing City, Sect Qualifying Tournament.
Everyone gathered here today, and Star Gazing City became lively again. There were dark spectators everywhere.
The challenged side had 566 disciple contestants, while the challenger side only had the last five.
This was a game that no one thought highly of, but it was precisely because of this that the game became more dramatic than expected.
Xiang Nan, Yuan Meng, Feng Xuan, Shen Liang, and Xiao Jun stood side by side.
Xiang Nan said, "In the following matches, everyone will try their best to win. There are only five of us. One loser is one less."
Under the expectation of the crowd, Xuan Qingzhu finally appeared.
She floated high in the sky and spread her voice through every corner of Star Gazing City with her Yuan Qi.
"Today is the second stage of the Sect Ranking Tournament."
After a pause, she continued, "As everyone knows, the test of martial arts is not just purely combat ability, but also the ability to survive, the ability to solve difficulties, and a series of other factors."
"Therefore, the second stage of this sect's ranking competition is no longer the arena competition, but the situational competition."
"We will give all the participants a list of major problems that they have to rely on their martial arts strength to solve. We will also let them solve these problems within the specified time."
At this point, Xuan Qingzhu glanced at Xiang Nan and said, "I have to remind you that the trouble this time is not something that can be solved by money and connections."
"You must use your own fists and lives to complete the mission."
"Then, I declare that the second stage of the situational competition will officially begin."
