Chapter 229: People with different surnames
If Xia Sheng remembers correctly, this little girl is named Jiang Qiqi. Not only is her origin mysterious, but she also has strange all over her body, especially the sharp sword intent that comes from her eyes. Even Xia Sheng needs to retreat!
Before today, the only intersection between Xia Sheng and Jiang Qiqi was when they were recruiting for the academy.
Xia Sheng looked at her in the crowd.
The latter directly used the unparalleled sword intent to shatter Xia Sheng's sword.
She is one of the three first candidates to be selected on Xia Sheng’s spring exam list.
She is also the only person among her peers who can make Xia Sheng defeat the sword intent competition.
She is the top of the academy recruitment list this year, and is favored by the academy dean, and has received a separate lecture from Tang Zi'an.
But to this day, Xia Sheng didn't know exactly what Jiang Qiqi's realm was.
In the world of cultivation, if you want to determine a person's strength level, the most direct way is to use the martial arts and spiritual spirit inspired by the other party.
Arrange and judge by the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
In addition, generally speaking, if you are experienced and experienced people, you can also identify them through some other details.
For example, Xia Sheng, with his vision and experience, if he wants to know what level a swordsman is, he only needs to make a general judgment through the momentum that the other party unconsciously exudes, the posture of holding the sword, and even the gait of walking.
Of course, if the lower the strength, the higher the accuracy of this judgment will be. Otherwise, it is very likely to cause deviations.
Moreover, the conclusions drawn through this method are relatively vague.
For example, Xia Sheng could tell at a glance that Tang Zi'an was a powerful man of the supreme level, but it is unknown whether he was the first level, the middle level, or the peak level of the martial master.
Similarly, for those who practice both spiritual and martial arts, in the eyes of others, there is actually no difference between them and pure martial arts or pure spiritual practices. What people can see depends entirely on what the practitioners themselves prefer to choose.
So outside Luoyang City that day, Xia Sheng could see at a glance that Tang Xixi, who was chasing Meng Qi, was of the imperial cultivation level, but he never thought that the other party was a spiritual martial arts dual cultivation.
This was a big loss.
But even so, in this world, there are definitely not many practitioners who can make Xia Sheng unable to understand the details. They are either very powerful giants in the world of cultivation, or masters who master the secret method of concealing breath.
In Xia Sheng's heart, Jiang Qiqi should belong to the latter.
In fact, let alone Xia Sheng, there are only a handful of people who can know what level Jiang Qiqi is in the entire Chunqiu Academy.
Because in the second round of recruitment competition that day, even facing Mo Yuan’s three-color blue lotus, Jiang Qiqi never inspired the martial arts talisman on his wrist!
This is a very incredible thing, or to put it another way, Mo Yuan actually lost at all, because the gap between the two is too big, even if Mo Yuan takes out the last trump card, he may not necessarily turn the tables.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that in that last battle, Mo Yuan gave up the way of losing both sides with Jiang Qiqi. After all, for him, the most important thing this time is to get into the academy. It is actually not important whether he can get to the top of the list.
Unfortunately, Xia Sheng was not present in that battle, but inspired the wonder of the three springs reflecting the moon and the sun and the moon shining together in the spiritual spring in the back mountain. So today, Xia Sheng also knows very little about this little girl who looks only twelve or thirteen years old.
So, what exactly is she coming today?
Is it just to tell myself the news of the surrender of the grassland people?
"So, the grassland people have withdrawn from Ningwu Pass and Changyan Pass?" Xia Sheng's voice was calm, and he did not seem to be surprised by the defeat of the grassland Iron Cavalry.
Jiang Qiqi was sitting at the entrance of Muyun Cave. Her wide black clothes almost wrapped her whole body tightly, and she could only see the cold and clear light on her childish face.
Hearing Xia Sheng's question, Jiang Qiqi couldn't help but shake her head: "Not yet, I should be waiting for the final peace talks."
"Well..." Xia Sheng pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that when Marshal Ye returns to the court, his reputation will probably exceed that of Duke Zhenguo."
Jiang Qiqi ignored this, but suddenly changed her mind and asked directly: "Who did you learn your sword?"
This question is very wonderful and straightforward, without any slightest temptation or temptation.
In this regard, Xia Sheng gave the answer he had prepared long ago.
"Sword Saint in White, Mu Chenyi."
However, he never thought that Jiang Qiqi shook his head without any concealment: "It is rumored that the White-clothed Sword Saint died more than 300 years ago. You are lying to me."
Xia Sheng smiled gently: "Is it meaningful for me to lie to you?"
“Isn’t it meaningless?”
Fortunately, it was blocked by the Muyun Cave Formation, so at this time, Xia Sheng could not see Jiang Qiqi's two pupils that looked like a star sword, nor did he feel the awesome sword force emitted from her body.
So Xia Sheng couldn't help but ask, "If my sword was not learned from the White-clothed Sword Saint, then who do you think I can learn from?"
Jiang Qiqi had no expression on her face and said coldly: "I originally thought you were the personal disciple of the Pei Family Sword Saint, but now it doesn't look like it. Judging from the Haoran sword you used on the Life and Death Stage that day, I think you should have obtained the inheritance of Zhao Huan by some chance."
Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but look somber.
It’s not because Jiang Qiqi’s guess was too outrageous. After all, from a certain perspective, Xia Sheng did inherit Emperor Gaozong’s understanding and hard work of swordsmanship from the Haoran Sword.
What he was really surprised was that Jiang Qiqi actually dared to call Emperor Gaozong his name!
This is a huge taboo!
Even the two saints, Yang Tianxiao and Pei Xu, would not do this!
Xia Sheng thought he was crazy enough, but he never thought that Jiang Qiqi was even more crazy than him!
Who is she?
Could it be a spy from a different race?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by Xia Sheng because he did not believe that Dean Bai would allow a foreigner to step into Bujushan.
Since the other party likes to go straight, Xia Sheng didn't plan to circle around her and immediately asked, "Who are you? Where are you from and who are you mastering?"
However, Jiang Qiqi's answer is even more incredible.
"I don't know who I am. My name is given by Dean Bai."
When Jiang Qiqi said this, she did not feel much melancholy or at all. Her voice was very calm and her expression was extremely calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
But Xia Sheng keenly discovered a problem from this sentence.
He thought to himself, "Since that's the case, why didn't she follow the dean's surname Bai?"
