"The first round of the rematch, Yunjuan Academy Ye Qingni versus Shi Tao, Tianji Pavilion Wufeng versus Liuxiang Sect Chang Hao..."
Teacher Wen's voice sounded above the lake, and the faces of all the students and disciples became bright.
Some old students recalled that three years ago, the resurrection match between the disciples of the Immortal Sect and the disciples of the Immortal Sect seemed to have never happened before.
What is going on this year? Everything seems to have changed.
On the red armor ring, Ye Qingni's beautiful figure stood tall and graceful.
Opposite him, Shi Tao, who was wearing white Confucian uniform, looked a little uncomfortable.
The face that used to be somewhat delicate was still dark. Looking at Ye Qingni opposite, the senior's face was full of complex emotions.
"Senior, do you like me? Do you want to come over and kiss me?"
A tender voice sounded, and Shi Tao couldn't help but sweat dripping from his body.
Today, there is no student in Yunjuan Academy who does not know the story behind this sentence.
Rumor has it that because of the beginning of these words, the beautiful woman in front of him chopped off a section of the Zhenglan County Courtyard Prince!
Gulu….
The saliva in his throat was swallowed up fiercely. Shi Tao shook his head slightly, looked at the referee instructor with a wry smile, and said unwillingly.
"I admit defeat..."
Yunjuan Academy at night has returned to its former tranquility.
The first day of the competition ended peacefully. All the students seemed to have let go of their past bad luck and became proud.
Because the battle between Tianji Pavilion Wufeng and Liuxiang Sect was extremely fierce.
Flames and black smoke filled the blue-green starry sky, and two different colors collided crazily.
At the end of the battle, Chang Hao's energy was insufficient and he regretfully retired.
Eliminating a disciple of the Immortal Sect means that two of the top five will be senior Yunjuan. Compared with the past, I don’t know how much progress has been made. Isn’t this enough to make every student excited?
Huhu, on the second floor of Qingxinyuan, Zhao Hei slumped his fat body on a wooden chair, lying quietly like a piece of compost.
As for Xiao Doudou, I really don't know where he got into, and the little figure can't be found.
"Zhang Xiao, where do you want to rank in this competition?"
Ye Qingni looked at Zhang Xiao with some curiosity, his meteor eyebrows were slightly curved, and he looked unusually good-looking.
"Well, naturally I want to get the first place, because the prize for first place seems to be the introductory swordsmanship provided by the Sword Sect. Not only that, but also the Liuxiang Sect's Barrier Breaking Pill and Qianfeng Tower's Different Iron. These rewards are too rich.
Already."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I support you with both hands. If that doesn't work, do you want to get dozens of gold ingots from me?"
When Zhao Hei heard this, his eyes burst out with intense gaze, as if he was just watching the excitement and didn't mind the big deal.
"roll…."
Ye Qingni raised his eyebrows and was not polite at all.
"Brother, come out quickly, guests are coming!"
At this moment, Xiao Doudou's voice sounded downstairs, and Zhang Xiao and Ye Qingni looked at each other, unusually curious.
It's so late, who's visiting? Could it be Tao Chan, but he should be lying in bed and unable to get up at this time, right? Is that Xia Dongyuan?
Zhang Xiao stood up slowly, looked at the single railing on the attic with clean eyes, and shouted softly.
"Xia Dongyuan, if you don't prepare well for tomorrow's competition, why don't you come to my place because you want to compete?"
He stepped into the railing and took a look, only to find a golden robe fluttering, with masculinity and gentleness written all over his fair face at the same time.
He raised his forehead slightly and looked up at the attic with a pair of smart eyes.
"It's me!"
The voice sounded softly, full of a touch of majesty and confidence, and a noble temperament circulated in every gesture.
Zhang Xiao was stunned and looked back at Ye Qingni in surprise. Ye Qingni shook his head gently, not knowing what this Mr. Qi was doing with his late night visit.
"Master Qi, can you come up and sit down?"
Ye Qingni's gentle greeting sounded, but Master Qi downstairs shook his head slightly, stretched out his jade finger, and pointed steadily at Zhang Xiao.
"I want to talk to him."
"With him?"
Ye Qingni and Zhao Hei were slightly stunned, and turned their heads to look at Zhang Xiao, a little stunned.
Zhang Xiao also looked at Mr. Qi blankly, with surprise on his face.
The setting sun has completely set, and a trace of golden light remains stubbornly on the horizon in the distance.
This golden light echoed slightly with the blackened golden robe, as if they were integrated into each other.
Zhang Xiao, who was standing far behind Mr. Qi, didn't know how to speak. He could only stand quietly and look at Mr. Qi's thin back, remaining silent.
"I am Qi Zhaoyang, the daughter of Emperor Ming. In the imperial capital, they all call me Princess Zhaoyang."
Still looking at the lake in the distance, Mr. Qi never looked back when his voice sounded softly.
Um?
Zhang Xiao, who was deep in thought, was slightly stunned, but he didn't know what the princess wanted to express, so he could only reach out and touch his nose with respect.
"Hello princess!"
"hehe…."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled softly, turned around slowly, and looked at Zhang Xiao with a pair of eyes full of agility, but with a hint of aggression.
"You, Zhang Xiao, are the first person to greet me so perfunctorily!"
"Well, it's not my fault. I wonder why the princess called me here?"
"Well, my name is Qi Zhaoyang, I am sixteen years old this year, and I want to be Emperor Ming!"
"Oh, hmm? What?"
Zhang Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Princess Zhaoyang in horror, in disbelief.
"A woman becomes the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid this is unprecedented? The empire's five rites may not allow it!"
Zhang Xiao shook his head hurriedly, feeling extremely shocked, but he did not believe that the princess could succeed.
"Giggle..."
The princess burst into laughter like a silver bell and looked at Zhang Xiao with interest, as if she was extremely satisfied.
"Why does the princess look at me like this?"
Zhang Xiao felt a little scared at this moment. The young girl in front of him actually had such a grand goal.
"You are a very interesting person. When others hear me saying that I want to be Emperor Ming, they might look at me like they are rebellious."
"But you don't seem to be very opposed to a girl becoming the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Tsk tsk, the imperial capital is saying that you opened up the cultural context. It seems that the literary ethos of this era is really different!"
To Zhang Xiao's expectation, the princess actually said some strange words, which made Zhang Xiao confused.
"I don't know what's going on, princess?"
Zhang Xiao asked directly and decisively. Not long after standing with Princess Zhaoyang, he felt that the girl in front of him was probably very extraordinary.
It seems that there is an illusion telling me that this girl has so many thoughts hidden in her heart at this moment, and she will never be able to guess it.
"The first thing I want to do when I come here is to cooperate with you and let you win the first championship. Or, if I win the first championship, I will give you the prize."
"Huh? Give it to me? Let me get first place?" Zhang Xiao was stunned and looked at Qi Zhaoyang in disbelief, as if looking at a monster.
"Why?"
"Because I don't need it, because you need to be stronger."
The princess looked at Zhang Xiao in a funny way, as if the Zhang Xiao in front of her had been controlled and could not escape from the palm of her hand.
"What if I say no?"
Zhang Xiao raised his brows and looked at the strange girl in front of him with clean eyes. He always felt that something was not quite right.
"We'll wait and see, there's no rush."
A determined expression appeared on the princess's confident face, the golden crown swayed slightly, the princess took lotus steps, walked to Zhang Xiao's side, and stood firmly.
"Second, there is something strange in your mother's grave in the Zhengyang Mountains!"
Huh? There's something weird in my mother's grave?
Zhang Xiao was shocked. Although the Zhengyang Mountains were indeed full of abnormal phenomena, what was so strange about his mother's grave?
Zhang Xiao hurriedly raised his head and wanted to ask this young master, but he saw Qi Zhaoyang, who had not known when he got on a small boat, smiling softly at himself, and drifting away!
this….
Zhang Xiao looked at the golden figure disappearing on the dark lake, and his thoughts suddenly became chaotic.
At some point, a lantern appeared next to him, illuminating Zhang Xiao in the darkness.
"She has been gone for a long time, and you are still standing here looking at her stupidly. Do you really like her so much?"
Ye Qingni's ethereal voice rang out, pulling Zhang Xiao back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.
"Like her? How is that possible? I still want to live a few more years. You don't know, she said she wants to be Emperor Ming!"
"Haha, what's wrong with her wanting to be Emperor Ming? She is the only daughter of Emperor Ming, and she doesn't want anyone to be her."
Ye Qingni's voice sounded, and Zhang Xiao was shocked again.
"The current Emperor Ming only has one daughter? This...!"
"So I say, if you like him, go boldly. You must know that she will ascend the throne in the future..."
"No, not this!"
Zhang Xiao's face turned slightly red, but fortunately it was dark and it was difficult to notice.
"He said there were some strange things in my mother's grave, which made me feel very confused!"
"What's so confusing about this? After the competition, we'll just go back and take a look!"
