Xu Qingyun said directly: "I will find an opportunity to return the things to him when the time comes."
To be honest, although these three thousand water crystals are a considerable fortune, Xu Qingyun may not necessarily value them.
Even if you think you can recruit him and do things for him with these three thousand water spirit crystals, you're still far from it!
Of course, Xu Qingyun can also choose to swallow these water crystals.
But that will definitely cause some trouble.
Xu Qingyun is not afraid of trouble, but he dislikes it.
Yuan Tianyi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Zhao Yuzhen also agreed with Xu Qingyun to return the water spirit crystal to the second prince. Xu Qingyun was destined to be impossible to join the second prince's camp.
"Okay, you go back and rest."
"Tomorrow we will find an opportunity to ask Aunt Zhao whether there is really a third level in this year's Water Domain Competition." Xu Qingyun said.
Although the second prince Xue Guanghe had made it clear, Xu Qingyun did not believe it 100%.
Ask Zhao Shaorong, and the information she will get will be completely correct.
Yuan Tianyi and Zhao Yuzhen quickly left Xu Qingyun's room and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning.
It's just dawn and the sun hasn't fully risen yet.
Xu Qingyun spent a night refining his medical power.
This is also considered a kind of rest for him. For practitioners, it does not necessarily require actual sleep to be considered a rest.
Suddenly, Xu Qingyun heard a knock on the door.
I thought it was Yuan Tianyi and Zhao Yuzhen who woke up early in the morning and came to find me.
Xu Qingyun stopped practicing, stood up and opened the door.
When he opened the door and saw someone coming, Xu Qingyun was extremely surprised.
"Sister Rong, why is it you?"
The visitor turned out to be Zhao Shaorong. She was dressed in purple. Although she had a gauze mask, Xu Qingyun still recognized her at a glance from her beautiful eyes.
When no one else is around, Xu Qingyun always likes to call Zhao Shaorong sister Rong.
Zhao Shaorong is also used to this.
"Are Yuzhen and Tianyi up? I have something to tell you. It's more important about the Water Domain Competition." Zhao Shaorong said softly.
Xu Qingyun did not expect that Zhao Shaorong would come to him so early in the morning.
Hearing her say that she wanted to tell them something about the Water Domain Competition, Xu Qingyun had already vaguely guessed what it was about.
"Sister Rong, please sit down for a while. I'll go next door to call Tianyi and Senior Sister."
Xu Qingyun asked Zhao Shaorong to enter the room first to sit for a meeting, while he went to call Yuan Tianyi and Zhao Yuzhen.
After a while, Yuan Tianyi and Zhao Yuzhen came over, and several people gathered in Xu Qingyun's room.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Zhao Yuzhen looked at Zhao Shaorong in surprise.
The same look on Yuan Tianyi's face.
Xu Qingyun did not tell them that Zhao Shaorong was coming, he only said that he had important matters to see them.
"There is something I want to tell you about the Water Domain Competition. I only found out about it very late last night. I came here early this morning." Zhao Shaorong said.
Zhao Yuzhen and Yuan Tianyi heard this, but they looked at Xu Qingyun.
Obviously, the two women also had the same guess as Xu Qingyun.
"Mom, just tell me what it is." Zhao Yuzhen said.
Zhao Shaorong then told the story.
As expected, it turned out to be about the third level of the Water Realm Competition, the Secret Realm of Ice and Snow Trial.
After Zhao Shaorong finished speaking, he noticed that the expressions on the faces of Xu Qingyun and the others did not change much, and he was not surprised at all.
There is only one possibility for this look.
"You already know about this?" Zhao Shaorong looked at Xu Qingyun and the others and said.
Xu Qingyun nodded lightly: "Yes, we already know it, but we just learned it last night."
"I really wanted to find a chance to ask my aunt about you."
"How did you know?"
Although he had guessed that Xu Qingyun and the others might have known about it for a long time, Zhao Shaorong was still surprised.
"The second prince, Xue Guanghe, came to see me last night and told us about this, and..."
Xu Qingyun briefly told Zhao Yuzhen what happened last night, including Xue Guanghe's intention to recruit him and the three thousand water spirit crystals he left behind.
After Zhao Shaorong heard this, he frowned slightly.
She said in a clear voice: "The eldest prince and the second prince are the two most likely to inherit the throne in the future. Among the many princes, they have the most supporters and the strongest power behind them."
"The fight between the two has already started. They are fighting openly and secretly, and they are using various methods."
"No matter which side wins in the future, the losing side will never have a good outcome or have an easy time."
"And those who follow them will be promoted to a higher position if they win, and die in exile if they lose."
"So unless you absolutely have to, you should never participate in the battle for the heir, and never take sides easily, unless you are 100% sure that one person will win, but that is almost impossible."
"To put it bluntly, who will inherit the throne in the future is not a matter of Xue Zhangting's word. Regardless of the ongoing competition between the eldest prince and the second prince, it seems that the throne will be born between the two of them."
"But it is not impossible to suddenly change to another prince. Who knows what Xue Zhangting thinks."
"I have said all this just to let you understand that it is best not to get involved in this kind of thing. It is best to stay out of it."
Hearing this, Xu Qingyun smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, aunt, we all know this. I have already planned to return the things to the second prince."
Hearing this, Zhao Shaorong nodded slightly.
"I'll go back and inquire about the third level, and I'll tell you in detail tonight."
"Now, you can go to the game with peace of mind." Zhao Shaorong said.
"Okay." Xu Qingyun nodded lightly.
The group left quickly.
The location of today's competition is no longer the central square, but the martial arts stage in the Snow Imperial City.
The audience today is definitely not as big as yesterday, because not everyone can enter Snow Wind Imperial City.
Those who can come in are basically those with status and status.
But despite this, the venue was still crowded, with thousands of spectators.
When Xu Qingyun and others arrived at the scene, they immediately lined up to register for identity tokens.
Then someone will lead them to draw lots.
All those who advance will be randomly assigned to four arenas A, B, C and D. Each arena has ten promotion places, that is, a total of forty people.
Xu Qingyun and the other three came to an exquisite box.
There are wooden signs in the box that are equal to the number of promotions. The wooden signs are written with A, B, C and D respectively. Whichever one is drawn means which arena they will be assigned to.
Xu Qingyun was the first to go up and draw lots.
Xu Qingyun didn't care which arena he was drawn to.
Just reach out and touch whatever you feel.
When I took it out, I saw the word "A" written on the wooden sign.
Obviously, Xu Qingyun was assigned to Arena A.
There are staff nearby responsible for registration and records.
Next came Zhao Yuzhen, who also touched whatever she touched casually.
The wooden sign that Zhao Yuzhen drew had the word "B" written on it.
She was assigned to Arena B and was not in the same arena as Xu Qingyun.
The staff also completed registration quickly.
"It's my turn, it's my turn!"
Yuan Tianyi was very excited, but also a little nervous.
