Chapter 41: Three Generations of Rivalry
The New Year has passed quickly, and the older you get, the faster time seems to fly by. For Qing Shui, it's all the same no matter what time of year it is. Although he has the advantage of the Purple Energy Temple, his hard work and diligence are renowned, and no matter what time of day, his daily fixed cultivation can't be neglected.
Qīng Shuǐ is such a waste, having worked so hard yet still unable to cultivate the sixth layer of Qīng Lián Wǔ Juě before the age of 16. Unfortunately, 16 has already passed, and in most people's eyes, Qīng Shuǐ's fate is destined to have nothing to do with martial arts again.
Today is the fourth day of the lunar month. Tomorrow will be a contest between three generations of the Qing family in Qingshui Village. Qing Shui isn't very interested, but this year he plans to watch and see what kind of martial arts they'll be competing with.
Qingshui walked out of the small courtyard, last night in the Ziyu Xianjing again bitter practice for half a month, unfortunately still can't break through. Qingshui was very frustrated, that barrier like a towering mountain, stubbornly blocking Qingshui's footsteps.
Look outside, it's more lively than before, especially the wide training ground of the Qing family. Tomorrow is the start of the three-generation battle, so today there will be many people coming to the scene to take a look and probe each other's strength, which has been an unspoken agreement for years.
The sky is already noon, unfortunately in the cold winter, noon is often the most comfortable time, especially on sunny days, warm sunshine makes people lazy, lying in the sun without wanting to move.
Qīng Shuǐ arrived at the Qīng family's martial arts arena, and upon seeing the venue, she was taken aback. The entire arena was covered with a layer of festive red carpet, and the vibrant red color made it look especially celebratory and passionate.
"Qīng Shuǐ gē, over here!" Qīng Shuǐ saw Qīng Hǔ waving at himself!
Half a year had passed since Qing Hua last saw Qing Hu, and he discovered that the now fifteen-year-old Qing Hu was already a sixth-level warrior. Although he hadn't reached the peak of being a sixth-level warrior, it still left Qing Hua in awe at how much change half a year could bring. He never thought that Qing Hu, who had once been looked down upon, would also enter the ranks of a sixth-level warrior!
Qīng Shuǐ saw Qīng Hǔ like this, of course still very happy, originally even if Qīng Hǔ before the age of sixteen could not enter the sixth level of Wǔ Shì, Qīng Shuǐ would think of other ways to help Qīng Hǔ improve his cultivation in the future.
"Green tiger, not bad! From now on, cultivate well and you'll be able to soar in the wider skies outside!"
"Heh heh, Qing Hu smiled, his robust body now as tall as Qing Shui, only looking even more vigorous."
Qīng Shuǐ knows that Qīng Hǔ's rapid progress is probably due to Lán Yān Er, otherwise Qīng Hǔ wouldn't be working so hard.
A beauty can inspire a man to great achievements, but she can also easily destroy him!
A complex expression flashed across Qing Shui's eyes, but it was only for an instant. By the time he looked at Qing Hu, his expression had returned to normal.
Squeezing into the crowd, Qing Shui found that there were quite a few people around him. He only recognized some of the people from near his home in Qing Village, and almost everyone else was unfamiliar to him.
"Qīng Shuǐ Gē, that's Lán Jiā's Lán Yè!" Qīng Shuǐ was searching the crowd for anyone he knew or could see the few extraordinary ones Qīng Yáng had mentioned. Upon hearing Qīng Hǔ's words, he couldn't help but look in the direction Qīng Hǔ pointed.
He was a young man of about twenty years old, standing there with a slender and straight figure, his expression was languid, but those eyes were very attractive, not shining brightly, nor cold, nor containing murderous aura, but a kind of firm dedication.
"He's a man as solid as a rock, his achievements are more than that!" This is what Qing Shui felt, and with one glance, he could see the strength of Lan Ye.
Although Qing Shui was unclear about his own strength, he knew that he should be stronger than these people. He wasn't sure what realm he had reached, but it was definitely some distance away from the innate realm.
Qīng Shuǐ saw a tall and slender girl standing beside Lán Yè, the girl's big eyes shining brightly with a hint of coquetry, her raven-black long hair setting off her pale skin, her waist was slim and her legs were long, a pair of white boots on her had a kind of holy charm.
"No wonder the young masters of Tianhe City all want to get their hands on her, it turns out she's really a beauty!" Qing Shui looked at Lan Ye beside Lan Yan, turned his head and found that Qing Hu had already been staring intently.
Perhaps feeling the gaze, Blue Smoke's beautiful big eyes were puzzled with a hint of disgust and a slight disdain, looking over here. When she saw Qing Shui, she was slightly stunned, then raised her fist towards Qing Hu.
The blue tiger's heart was bitter and hard to describe, the first love moment of a young boy and girl was etched in his mind. "I worked hard to cultivate myself, and finally my efforts paid off, now I'm also a sixth-level warrior at the age of 15, but the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger, a sense of frustration naturally flowed out."
Qīng Shuǐ although is the initial elder brother, but to Qīng Hǔ's this kind of feeling still understands, after all in cannot practice martial arts' that period of time, Qīng Shuǐ's feelings are really too many, compared to these Qīng Hǔ now do not count as anything.
Qing Shui hasn't looked at Lan Yan again since he glanced at her, although she's very pretty but still a bit inferior to Shi Qingxuan. Who let Qing Shui like mature women? Not only should they look mature physically, but also mentally. He doesn't like those little girls who often throw tantrums and act cute, even if they're acting cute while throwing tantrums. Qing Shui wants the kind of mature woman who occasionally throws tantrums, unintentionally showing her cuteness, which is absolutely more captivating than a little girl's.
Others didn't notice, after all it's like a bustling city with people everywhere, who knows if the young masters of those few families have come or not, and even if they did, it would be hard to find them here.
Qīng Shuǐ and Qīng Hǔ are leaving, it's been half a year since they last met, there are many things they want to talk about, after all the two have grown up together since childhood and are also cousins!
"Green tiger, learning is boundless. Now you're still young, learn more things. Women are like that, when you become powerful, you'll find there will be many, and the beautiful women from before won't even be worth mentioning."
The woman from Qing Shui felt like a completely different species compared to the women from Bai Li City, whether it was her upbringing, temperament, dressing style or demeanor and speech, she was infinitely superior.
Although everything is built with money, the kind of charm that flows out still makes men flock to it, but wanting to have a beautiful daughter also requires finding a beautiful wife, and everything needs to be invested.
Of course, born with a natural beauty, having a likable personality and temperament, but there are only a few such people, and before one can discover them, they have already been snatched away by others. Besides, Loli herself doesn't want to be treated as a woman!
Qīng Hǔ found Qīng Shuǐ's unconventional ideas neither surprising nor unusual, but after talking to her each time, he felt a little lighter in his heart.
"Tomorrow is the competition, Brother Qing Shui, are you participating?"
