In the car back, the two sat side by side in the back seat, continuing the topic that had not been finished in the restaurant before. Xin Ji did not ask what had just happened, as if he had not seen it at all.

Until he returned to the hotel room, Lian Chengbi finally couldn't help asking: "You don't seem to be surprised at all?"

Xin Ji smiled and said, "Actually, I was very surprised. I took a photo. Do you want to send you one? It looks very good."

"No need, you keep it." Lian Chengbi's face showed a little satisfaction. He reached out and gently wiped it with his index finger on his lips, as if he was savoring the kiss, and said, "Is that girl Sufei told you?"

Xin Ji coughed dryly but didn't say anything, as a default.

"This girl is not yet adult, so she turned her elbow out and even betrayed her aunt. She used to betray her. She will love her in vain. Let's see how I deal with her next time I go back to Earth!" Lian Chengbi cursed as if it was true or false, but a smile appeared at the corner of her eyes. It can be seen that she did not really blame Lian Sufei for this, she was just talking.

"Su Fei is also kind-hearted. She is afraid that I will offend you, so she reminds me specifically." Xin Ji quickly explained to his students.

"What does she know, a child? I'm afraid that I will offend you, and then be scolded by the old man." Lian Chengbi's eyes crossed Xin Ji. Seeing his smiley expression, she was so angry that she simply sat down on the sofa in the living room, folded her legs and leaned back, and said, "We have known each other for almost a month, and we have lived together for half a month. I found that you are quite decent, with no dirty thoughts, better than most men. At least I won't hate you. You can treat you as a friend you are a normal dating."

"Haha..." Xin Ji also sat down, was amused as soon as he heard it, and smiled and said, "Wouldn't I feel very honored?"

"It's not that, in fact, I should feel honored. I don't know how many people want to make friends with you in the future but don't have the chance to do so. I'm just lucky to meet you before you become famous. But you are indeed my first male friend in many years." Lian Chengbi said this and suddenly sighed, as if he was recalling the past in his eyes, and his emotions suddenly became depressed.

Xin Ji had never seen such a scene before and didn't know how to comfort him.

In fact, based on his understanding of Lian Chengbi, she is a strong and autonomous woman who is very good at adjusting her own emotions and does not need anyone's comfort.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Lian Chengbi recovered and said calmly: "You are not interested in listening to why I became this kind of personality?"

"If you want to say, I can be a listener." Xin Ji nodded gently and made a gesture to say something.

"I used to have a very good classmate who knew me since I was a child. I was in the same class and deskmate from elementary school to high school. I was as close as sisters and I was together every day. When we were in high school, we met a boy who sat at our back desk and often joked with us. We gradually became familiar with him. Later, this boy pursued me, and I had no feelings for him. He refused from the beginning, but he did not give up and stubbornly pestered me for more than a semester. We could only alienate him and asked the teacher to change his seat, and gradually we didn't have much contact."

Lian Chengbi spoke slowly, her tone was very calm, but Xin Ji noticed that her hands were tightly clasped, knowing that she was not at peace at this time.

"I didn't expect this scumbag was not giving up. One day, we were ambushed on our way home and wanted to take revenge on me." Lian Chengbi paused for a moment, his face full of regret, and continued, "That day I happened to have something to go to the city. I didn't go together, so I let my good sister go home alone. As a result, the scumbag saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to ** her, and afterwards tortured her for more than an hour, almost seriously injured and died. During the later interrogation, he learned that his target was actually me, but if I was not here, she became a substitute."

"Although the scum was sentenced to 30 years in prison and forced to undergo chemical castration, my good sister left severe psychological trauma. She was healthy but her mental health did not recover and committed suicide after half a year."

After Lian Chengbi finished speaking, her eyes fixedly looked at Xin Ji, her chest was slightly undulating, and she said softly: "Can you understand me now?"

"It's understandable." Xin Ji nodded and asked, "That girl is probably more than your good friend, right?"

Lian Chengbi was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said in admiration: "You guessed it right. She is actually my first love girlfriend, but she was still quite hazy at that time and didn't make it clear that I woke up after the incident."

Xin Ji looked clear and thought that this incident not only caused harm to Lian Chengbi's friends, but also left a psychological shadow on Lian Chengbi herself. She was born with her love for women, and hating men was caused by the acquired nature.

"It's rare to talk to someone, especially to you, a man, which makes me feel much more relaxed." Lian Chengbi gradually escaped from the painful memories of the past and returned to his calmness, saying: "Actually, after so many years, I have also talked about a few girlfriends during this period, and I have experienced a lot, which has made me look down on my relationship. I have almost let it go, but..."

Xin Ji suddenly thought of the reason and asked, "The 30-year sentence is about to come, right?"

"I can't hide anything from you." Lian Chengbi admitted, "The scumbag will be released from prison next year. I feel unwilling to accept it. My friend passed away thirty years ago, but he lives in this world and can live for at least another hundred years. This is unfair."

"Legally, he has paid the price for it." Xin Ji shook his head, "Unless you want to break the law, you can't do anything to him."

Lian Cheng's face was as blue as ice, and he sneered: "No need to break the law, I can also punish him."

Xin Ji was speechless and knew that Lian Chengbi would not give up easily. Maybe he had prepared a lot of methods and was waiting for the man to come out of prison.

He could only say, "Be careful."

"I know. Thank you for listening to me so much that I feel much better." Lian Chengbi looked at the time and stood up and said, "The time for cultivation is up, do you want to come together?"

"Okay." Xin Ji nodded and agreed.

Lian Chengbi is busy during the day and usually spends her practice time until night, and goes to the practice room to use the sensing cabin. Xin Ji actually can practice without the sensing cabin, but he can't say it. He has to compete again during the day, so he can only go to the sensing cabin to meditate for a few hours every night, pretending.

After the meditation in the induction cabin, the two will continue to communicate in martial arts, and have many hands-on conversations, often chatting until late at night, or even staying up until dawn.

After this conversation, the relationship between Xin Ji and Lian Chengbi was closer. They were not as rude as before. They got along like real friends and could say a lot of things at will.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Sui Xing Cup martial arts competition entered the knockout stage.

The knockout round still uses random draws to determine the opponent, and the winner will advance to the next round. 128 players in each group will compete in four rounds until the remaining eight players enter the final. Just like the selection round, players do not need to go to the scene to participate in the knockout round, and log in to the virtual world from the sensing cabin.

On the first day of the knockout round, Xin Ji drew a good opponent.

The opponent was an intermediate warrior and practiced a boxing technique to the Tongche level. His overall strength was slightly worse than Qiao Jing he had encountered before, but he was not restrained like Qiao Jing. Xin Ji dealt with him for a few minutes, but he still only used Jingwu Changquan and Mizhizhanzhu to seize an opportunity to kick him off the ring.

In the knockout round, only one game a day, and on the second and third days, Xin Ji met no weak opponents. Fortunately, he had telepathy and was still at ease without revealing more strength. He defeated his opponent after a few minutes of fighting each time.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Xin Ji always won harder and more difficult times. The weakness of the lack of Force cultivation was gradually amplified. In three games, the dangers were everywhere, and it had reached the point where the skills of Qianbao were exhausted. Many players believed that they had seen through Xin Ji's strength and believed that he could not go much further in the game, and the dark horse posture also lost its momentum to move forward.

Day 4, the last knockout match.

As long as you win this game, you can advance to the finals, and each player will receive a prize of 100,000. At this point, there are only 128 left for more than 30,000 contestants, and no one wants to be eliminated just one game. Therefore, today's game is more intense than any day in the past. There are many duels in the arenas, and the number of spectators has increased a lot, which makes the organizer Jupiter Chamber of Commerce very happy.

In the afternoon, it was finally Xin Ji's turn to play.

As soon as he appeared on the ring, he frowned when he saw the opponent and thought to himself that this opponent was not easy to fight.

The contestant opposite is Zhuo Qiuping. He is about 1.85 meters tall and long arms, calm and looks a little mature. He is actually only 38 years old, but he is a high-level warrior!

Zhuo Qiuping practiced the frozen force. The specific skills are unknown. He has condensed at least forty-five force nodes. He is one of the most powerful players in this martial arts competition. However, Zhuo Qiuping is a typical player who can practice and not fight. Although his Force cultivation is high, his martial arts strength is relatively average. He has only one of the skills to practice and reach the Tongche realm. It is also one of the most common basic martial arts in the Federation, and he can't get any other martial arts.

With such mediocre martial arts strength, Zhuo Qiuping could reach the last game of the knockout round, relying on his superior Force cultivation.

He only has one combat strategy on the ring, which is to rely on his strong force to fight hard. His speed is faster than others, his strength is greater than others, and his defense is stronger than others. He will definitely win the opponent. Most people really can't do anything to him!

So far, Zhuo Qiuping has only lost one game in the selection match. He was unlucky at the time and drew another high-level samurai who maintained a complete victory. He lost very quickly and neatly in front of the high-level samurai with the same level of cultivation.

However, when Zhuo Qiuping encounters an opponent whose cultivation level is not as good as his, he usually wins like a crushing victory.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xin Ji is a player who can fight and not practice. It is completely opposite to Zhuo Qiuping, who can practice and not fight. It is simply two extremes. Now he meets each other and draws a ring, which immediately attracts everyone's attention.
