Late at night, Qianyu returned to the city lord's mansion.
"master!"
Tan Xinmeng cried with pear blossoms in the rain. As soon as he saw Qianyu, he immediately ran over and hugged Qianyu.
"Little friend Qianyu, where have you been?" Tan Yi asked worriedly. "My daughter has been waiting here for you all night, and I have sent people all over the streets to look for you. You are finally back."
"I...I went to...the inn." Qianyu could never say that he went to a brothel.
"Master, you are lying. You smell like a woman's rouge. The place you went to is definitely not an inn." Tan Xinmeng broke the news ruthlessly. Qianyu smiled awkwardly and said: "There are many people in the inn, especially women. I think it must be
It’s because I stayed there too long and it has some smell.”
"Little friend Qianyu, why did you disappear suddenly?" Tan Yi asked, "Do you know that my daughter cried all night just because she was worried about you."
Qianyu looked at Tan Xinmeng. Tan Xinmeng's eyes were swollen from crying. He said to Tan Xinmeng distressedly: "Apprentice, I'm really sorry for making you worry."
"Master, as long as you are safe and well." Tan Xinmeng smiled happily.
"Daughter, please go back to your room and rest quickly. I want to have a private chat with Qianyu." Tan Yi could tell that Qianyu was hiding something from him.
"No, I want to listen to whatever you want to talk about." Tan Xinmeng didn't want to go back to the room.
"Apprentice, listen to the city lord and go back to your room to rest first." Qianyu advised.
Tan Xinmeng did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Master, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Qianyu responded.
"Alas, women are not admitted to college." Tan Yi sighed, "I am a silly girl who doesn't listen to me now."
"The city lord has something to do with me?" Qianyu changed the subject.
"Little friend Qianyu, where did you go tonight?"
"I was taken to a brothel by Canhua and almost died in her hands. I was finally saved by an honest monk."
"Honest Monk...is little friend Qianyu?"
"He is my master's friend."
"Oh, the fact that he was able to save you from Canhua shows that he is extremely powerful and must be an unparalleled master." Tan Yi praised.
Qianyu didn't want to introduce too much to Honest Monk, so he remained silent.
"You should also go to bed early." Tan Yi ordered, "By the way, little friend Qianyu, be nice to my daughter and don't let her worry anymore."
"Okay." Qianyu said solemnly. On the way back to the room, he felt a little distressed. After a few days of contact, he found that Tan Xinmeng always liked to stick to him and followed him almost inseparably. Could it be that she really had feelings for him?
"You can't help but you can't..." Emotionally, Qianyu is a complete fool. Instead of thinking about these unreasonable questions, it is better to prepare for tomorrow's showdown.
Strangely enough, the more he stopped thinking about feelings, the more Tan Xinmeng appeared in his mind. This made Qianyu very distressed.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Tan Xinmeng's smiling face appeared in his mind. Qianyu tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep all night.
He has insomnia.
Early the next morning, Tan Xinmeng brought breakfast and waited for him at his door. After thanking him, he deliberately kept a distance from Tan Xinmeng to prevent the relationship from getting out of control.
"Master, why are you acting a little weird today?" Tan Xinmeng was as careful as dust and noticed something was wrong with Qianyu.
"No...no." Qianyu laughed dryly.
"If you say no, then there won't be." Tan Xinmeng didn't care very much. They appeared in the alchemy square on time. A thousand people who had passed the examination were waiting anxiously. The referee and the city lord had already taken their seats.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tan Yi stood up and announced: "First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing yesterday's assessment. Today's assessment will be more difficult. One thousand people will be divided into five groups, with two hundred people in each group. Draw lots for each other, and those who draw the same number will
, for a duel. The winner continues to draw lots and challenges the next one. Only one winner can be produced in each group, with a total of five places. You can do your own thing."
"On the second day of the assessment, the drawing of lots will begin!"
A thousand people were divided into groups A, B, C, and D, and each group had numbers from one to one hundred. Qianyu was assigned to group A. When the numbers were drawn, he saw a familiar figure—Xiao Yuan.
"Xiao Yu'an, number 12." The old man in charge of drawing the numbers read loudly.
Qianyu lined up in the middle of the queue, and it was his turn soon after the lottery was drawn. He put his hand into a black box containing numbers with some anxiety, pulled out a piece of white paper, and handed it to the old man.
"Qianyu, number twelve." The old man read mechanically.
"Who drew twelve?" Xiao Yu'an was waiting aside. After hearing the same number, he immediately stood up and looked at the person who drew the lots, it was Qianyu!
"Your name is Qianyu, right?" Xiao Yu'an strode over with a bad look on his face. Qianyu didn't say anything, not wanting to talk to Xiao Yu'an.
"Pretending to be cold by not talking? I'll beat the shit out of you later to see if you still pretend." Xiao Yu'an pointed at Qianyu and said extremely arrogantly.
"I'm waiting." Qianyu countered coldly.
"Haha, Xiao Yu'an is famous for his bloodthirsty. If you fight him, you will die. Qian Yu is not going to die soon..."
"Alas, what a pity for his superb spirit-gathering technique."
The boys and girls behind Pai Qianyu were talking quietly, their expressions revealing gloating and sympathy.
Qianyu didn't really care about these people's comments. Tan Xinmeng told him that Ye Ling and Shui Xi were placed in Group A, and it was the first game.
The showdown between the seedlings carefully cultivated by the two families must be extremely exciting. Qianyu suddenly became very excited.
A temporary arena was set up in the Medicine Refining Square, and the referee was an elder from the city lord's palace.
"Ye Ling, Shui Xi, come on stage!"
A handsome young man in blue stepped onto the stage, holding a purple spear, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Ye Ling, twenty-four years old, is in the late Yuanyang realm. The weapon he uses is the Demon Sealing Spear. His advantage lies in defense, his attack power is not high, and he is kind-hearted. If you fight against him, as long as you admit defeat, he will
I will never kill him." Tan Xinmeng introduced skillfully.
"How do you know so much?" Qianyu asked curiously.
"The four major families will hold competitions with the City Lord's Mansion in private. I have played several games with all four of them, so I know them well."
Immediately afterwards, another person jumped onto the ring. She was a long-haired girl in a blue dress. The girl had a delicate oval face and a small nose. Her skin was smooth and radiant, and her figure was slender. She did not speak, but smiled lightly,
It gives people a sense of relaxation and comfort, like a spring breeze.
"Shui Xi, a third-grade spirit gathering master, is twenty-four years old, and his strength is in the middle stage of the Yuanyang realm. The weapon he uses is the lotus leaf sword. He is good at body and sword techniques, and is both offensive and defensive."
"Who do you think will win?" Qianyu asked.
"Needless to say, it must be Sister Shui Xi."
"Why?"
"Hehe, you can tell just by looking at Ye Ling's face." Tan Xinmeng pointed at Ye Ling. Qianyu looked carefully and saw that Ye Ling's face was red and she was looking at Shui Xi with a silly smile. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ye Ling was looking at Shui Xi.
interesting.
"The first match begins!" the referee gave the order, and Ye Ling and Shui Xi immediately got ready.
"I give up." Ye Ling gave up directly.
"Guizi, what are you doing?" Ye Wei cursed angrily.
"Dad, I have my own plan." Ye Ling replied pretending to be mysterious.
"In the first game, Shui Xi wins!"
Mizuki won the first duel effortlessly, and Qianyu sighed: "Love makes people blind..."
