Anyway, the first test came to an end. After Yuling returned to the palace, she immediately found Fang Zijin and others and planned to give them a task.

Several people have been idle for a long time, and even the spiritual formation exchange meeting cannot arouse their interest, because for laymen, even watching the excitement is not interesting.

"I have told you about Duke Ruiya before. It directly involves the grudges of the previous generation of King Nan. If the real traitor can be found, not only will the royal family owe us another favor, but it will also eliminate a

Hidden danger, I think no one likes the feeling of being watched secretly." Yu Ling said.

"Then what are we going to do?" Fang Zijin touched the back of his head, a little confused.

Yu Ling looked at him and said, "Do you still remember one of my teammates in the preliminary round of the Nine Regions Competition? Mei Lindong from the Chinese Region."

"Ah, remember, what happened? Do you know her whereabouts?" Fang Zijin asked.

Although everyone couldn't get along with each other before the Nine Regions Competition, several of Yuling's teammates gradually got to know Fang Zijin and others after the preliminary competition. Due to similar temperaments, everyone got along quite happily.

"She is sitting behind Duke Ruiya today. Fu Jirui seems to be interested in her, but that girl is not a person who relies on reputation. She must have been appreciated by Duke Ruiya first, and then became one of the guests." Yu Ling said.

After all, Mei Lindong possesses the god-level spiritual weapon Night Dreaming, and she is not sleeping for a long time like the Ningmo Sword. She can definitely help Mei Lindong in many places.

"That's a coincidence." Fang Zijin couldn't help but marveled at this encounter.

"So the sect leader wants us to get in touch with her and then gather information?" Bai Shulu suddenly understood.

"Spying on information depends on the situation. You first need to find out what the relationship between her and Duke Ruiya is, and what she has experienced in the past few years. If Duke Ruiya is kind to her, I'm afraid the girl won't be willing to betray him. But no matter what

Anyway, it’s always good to have more contact with her.”

Yu Ling paused and then said: "According to my opinion, it is best for you to divide the work separately. There must be one person outside to observe the situation, and then one or two people will meet Mei Lindong by chance, and then they will say that you are doing well now."

No good, think of a way to induce her to introduce you to Duke Rhea, so that you can enter Ruifu Star naturally. If she asks about my news, you will say that you haven't met me yet."

"You...you even want to deceive your own friends." Xuanzhu curled her lips and said.

Bai Shulu defended: "The sect leader has no choice. We have been separated for several years, and everyone has changed a lot. If Miss Mei serves Duke Ruiya loyally, clarifying the matter will make it difficult for everyone, and it will also make things difficult for everyone."

It is better to investigate clearly in advance so that we can think of countermeasures when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, you always have a point." Xuanzhu said but simply stopped talking.

But Yu Ling noticed something keenly: "Have you known Mei Lindong before?"

"Nonsense, they are all from the Huayu. When I was still in Wu Xuan Sect, I often communicated with other sects. I couldn't get involved in the world of top-notch geniuses like my senior brother, so the people I could play with were all at the same level.

People, such as Lin'er. She is really a good girl, very generous and generous. Although I have less contact with her later, I used to be a good friend, so you are using her like this, which makes me feel uncomfortable. "

Xuanzhu rolled her eyes angrily.

"The world is so small." Fang Zijin could only say awkwardly.

"I admit it's a bit of a use, but does what we do harm her in any way?" Yu Ling said.

"No, no, but..."

"If the result of not being honest is better than being honest, then I would rather choose the former. I will explain it to her after this matter is over. Before that, I hope you can wait and see what happens."

"I..." Xuanzhu was still a little resistant.

"If you really don't want to go, forget it. Anyway, I just want you to ask about her current situation, how she is doing, and some things about Duke Rhea. Of course, don't ask directly about the last one. I don't need to say more details.

?”

"But it's time for us to leave after all. What will Lin'er do then? She introduced us. Doesn't this force her to break up with Duke Ruiya?" Xuanzhu bit her lower lip.

"Then you should ask her before you leave whether she wants to stay on Ruifu Star or go to Baigu Star with you. If she chooses the former, I will find a way to handle it properly." Yu Ling said calmly.

Xuanzhu opened her mouth, feeling like she couldn't say anything to refute, but Bai Shulu thought for a while and said: "Then Xuanzhu and I will contact Miss Mei, and the senior brother will be outside to respond and deliver the news, okay?

"

"No problem." Fang Zijin agreed readily. He was really not an undercover agent.

"You make your own arrangements. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This matter cannot be rushed." Yu Ling nodded and told Bai Shulu that he was relatively relieved.

"Where will Duke Ruiya and the others live during the exchange meeting?" Bai Shulu asked again.

"The Twelve Grand Dukes have all been arranged to Luoxia Residence in the inner city. You can't enter that place, but that girl Mei Lindong will not be a person who can live idle. There are many interesting places in the royal city, especially the exchange conference.

In order to attract rare crowds of people, there will usually be a lantern show at night. If there is any news about her, I will notify you."

After Yu Ling finished giving the instructions, he went back to retreat. There was no need for him to appear in the re-examination anyway, so he might as well seize the two or three days.

After he has firmly mastered every detail of the three major formations, the first-round rookie competition is about to begin.

Lin Shu followed Nan Yanhe's instructions and did not perform well in the re-examination, so the other princes did not notice "Wen Wei" at all, and no one was bored enough to assassinate him.

However, you only need to pass the re-examination, but starting from the Rookie Competition, the three rounds of self-created formations are scored cumulatively. Each round has a perfect score of 100. The twenty judges can give a maximum of five points and a minimum of one point.

, the total after three rounds is 300 points.

Based on the experience of previous years, generally a score of 200 points is considered a good result, and a score of 250 points is enough to be considered a natural talent.

As for getting three hundred points...that doesn't exist at all. Don't forget that these princes represent different interests. No matter how excellent your formation is, the hostile forces will not be able to give you full points. So in the past few years,

The champions are basically around 280 points.

"There are currently more than 300 contestants left in the rookie group. Leader Yun, you must work hard. The master group is expected to be wiped out in the first round. It's really a headache." Nan Yanhe said with a frown.

Yu Ling couldn't help but be a little surprised: "The attack was so powerful this time, there are only 300 people left?"

He remembered that in previous years, the number would usually be between 800 and 1,000 people.

Nan Yanhe smiled bitterly and said: "On the day of the re-examination, Mr. Xu suddenly had a whim and made the proposition himself. He felt that through observing the contestants in previous years, the overall level of formations in the South Territory has improved by leaps and bounds. Only formations with a higher degree of difficulty will be more advanced."

It highlights true genius.”

"Okay..." Yu Ling thought about it and knew that no one dared to talk back to the emperor. He was just glad that he didn't bite the bullet and take the retest, otherwise he would have failed 100% of the time.

He reviewed the information about Wen Wei again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he used Xuan Li to change his face and followed Nan Yanhe out of the residence.

"Wen Wei, you're here!" Several other royal contestants greeted him in a friendly manner. They were completely unaware that the person pretending to be Wen Wei had changed from Lin Shu to Yu Ling.

Yu Ling just nodded and said nothing, and the others didn't think it was strange. After all, they had known each other for a few days, and they also knew that "Wen Wei" was introverted and not pretending to be aloof.

"Senior Jin Huang is so cruel this year, I hope he won't notice me as a scumbag..." One contestant sighed.

"Why?" Yu Ling couldn't help but be a little confused. Logically speaking, being able to get the attention of the formation emperor would be enough to brag about for a lifetime.

The contestant had a bitter look on his face: "I heard from people in the previous session that the emperor has a very vicious tongue. No matter how good the formation is, he can find countless faults and criticize you to the point where you are worse than shit."

It’s so bad, it’s said that there are three figures of people who have been scolded and cried by senior Jin Emperor in recent years…”

"I have to admit, this year's Jin Huang senior has been making people tremble since the beginning of the retest. I almost failed at the last step." Another contestant looked hopeless.

"How come the gap between people is so big? It only took four hours for Prince Tianshang to create the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Formation. It took me two days to do it..."

Yu Ling listened to their chat all the way and understood a lot of things, and he didn't even need to use formulaic words.

After entering the venue, a member of the team committee cleared his throat and planned to give a long opening speech as usual. After all, the rookie competition is also the finals, so it needs to be more or less formal.

As a result, as soon as he started, an impatient voice interrupted him: "Let's get started."

The members of the formation committee looked confused. They turned to look at the formation emperor next to them, and forced themselves to swallow the words behind them, which caused internal injuries.

Yu Ling couldn't help but look at Xu Yanting. He was an old man who looked very amiable on the outside, but in fact the formation emperor had an extremely bad temper. He probably spent all his patience, perseverance and care on the formation.

"Ahem, um, everyone should enter in an orderly manner after receiving their number plates. The time limit is three days and no time limit is allowed." The members of the formation committee had to condense 30,000 words into less than 30 words. (To be continued.
