After taking a look at Gao Xiaoguo, Chen Xinzhu had a plan in mind.
"Ahem, if you really want to change, I have a suggestion."
Gao Xiaoguo's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "What's the proposal?"
"Well, isn't there a final tomorrow? I think this is good. As long as you rank higher than me in tomorrow's final, I will give you the exclusive secret recipe..."
Having said this, Chen Xinzhu paused for a moment and then continued.
"Of course, if I get a higher ranking, then there will be no need to mention this matter again."
Hearing this, Gao Xiaoguo glanced at Chen Xinzhu in surprise and nodded slightly.
"I agree to this proposal. Besides, I won't take advantage of you. As long as you get a higher ranking than me, not only will I not mention it, but I will give you two hundred bottles of first-order spiritual fruit wine."
Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu nodded quickly.
"Then it's settled!"
"Um."
They looked at each other and both smiled. They were both very confident in themselves.
Seeing this scene, Ziyue and others not far away became more and more angry...
Soon, Chen Xinzhu and Gao Xiaoguo walked back to the crowd.
Waving to Ziyue and others, Gao Xiaoguo said softly: "Let's go."
Glancing at Chen Xinzhu with complicated eyes, Mingjiao elder Zhang waved his hand gently to Kong Tianhe.
"Brother Kong, say goodbye."
Soon, the Mingjiao group left.
But before leaving, many Mingjiao disciples, including Ziyue, warned Chen Xinzhu with their eyes.
Everyone looked away, and Yan Ding asked Chen Xinzhu curiously: "Nephew, how do you know the saint of Mingjiao?"
Hearing this, Xue Jiang and others quickly looked at Chen Xinzhu.
They also want to know this question.
According to the convention, the Saint of the Ming Cult is the spiritual leader second only to the leader of the Ming Cult.
In a sense, the status of the saint is half higher than that of the Dharma King who is in the master realm.
Such a person has an unclear relationship with Chen Xinzhu. How could Xue Jiang and others not be curious.
After looking at everyone, Chen Xinzhu replied calmly.
"We met last time in Yangzhou..."
After hearing this, everyone was a little relieved.
Indeed, Chen Xinzhu only left Qinzhou once.
Thinking of this, Yan Ding nodded slightly and continued to look at Chen Xinzhu, and the result——
Chen Xinzhu said one sentence and stopped talking...
"??"
Yan Ding was a little distressed. He could naturally tell that Chen Xinzhu didn't want to talk more about this topic.
And with Chen Xinzhu's status in the Huashan Sect, he didn't want to say that even the innate elders such as Yan Ding and Kong Tianhe couldn't force it.
(Well, let the head master handle this kind of thing.)
Thinking of this, Yan Ding put aside the problem for the time being.
He waved his hand to everyone.
"Get off the mountain!"
…
At night, there were no clouds in the sky and the moon and stars were few and far between.
Chen Xinzhu sat cross-legged in a guest room of the inn, constantly recalling the insights from the day's competition.
"When you return to your sister, you will always want to be with me, and if you want to be with someone you want to be with someone..."
Combined with the formula of Dugu Nine Swords, Chen Xinzhu continued to sort out and confirm it.
…
An inn on the other side.
Duan Lian, who was wearing a white dress, slowly opened her eyes and stood up.
Seeing this, Duan Ping, who was waiting at the side, quickly asked: "Xiao Lian, how are you?"
Looking at his uncle with an extremely serious face, Duan Lian nodded slightly.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm in good condition now and I'll definitely be able to do it tomorrow."
Hearing this, Duan Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great. In this way, it's not hopeless to be number one on the list."
"Um."
Seeing that Duan Lian's face remained calm, Duan Ping couldn't help but speak.
"Xiao Lian, don't be too cautious tomorrow. With the referee present, safety won't be a problem. Don't give in easily!"
Although Duan Ping didn't have much contact with this niece, he was still aware of her unique personality.
Compared with her extremely talented training, Duan Lian's temperament is also extremely cautious.
Take this human ranking competition as an example. If the old man hadn't given the order to die, Duan Lian would never have come to participate.
"Yeah." Duan Lian's expression remained calm.
Seeing this, Duan Ping couldn't help nagging: "Xiao Lian, my Duan family is in a position of neither getting better nor getting worse..."
…
The other side.
Murong Xiu poured two large glasses of wine, put down the wine bottle, and picked up the wine glass.
"Grandpa, now that the matter is over, don't be sulky. Come, my grandson will give you a toast."
Hearing this, Murong Jiang glanced at Murong Xiu and replied angrily.
"Even you little brat made it to the finals, but your grandfather and I fell directly out of the top ten. Do you think I'm angry?"
Hearing this, Murong Xiu shook his head.
"Grandpa, there are three other people who have fallen out of the top ten like you. Doesn't it feel more comfortable to think like this?"
"snort!"
Murong Jiang snorted and ignored him.
Seeing this, Murong Xiu sighed, put down his glass of wine, and looked out the window.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will avenge you in tomorrow's final."
…
A hotel room.
Xia Lixuan slowly stood up and walked to the window.
After meeting Chen Xinzhu, he recalled someone again.
"Second uncle, where have you been..."
…
Qingquan Inn.
Li Yi looked at the Ziqun women in front of him and said solemnly: "Junior sister Ziyue, I will leave it to you for tomorrow's final."
Hearing this, Ziyue nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely teach that boy an unforgettable lesson."
Hearing this, Guang Zijin coughed twice.
"Senior Sister Ziyue, you don't have to force yourself. Elder Zhang has already sent a summons to the leader. We will just wait for the leader's order on what to do when the time comes."
Zhi Xinyan on the side also nodded repeatedly.
"It's not good for us to make our own decisions. We should wait for the leader's orders."
After hearing what they said, Li Yi waved his hand indifferently.
"Don't worry, you two, Junior Sister Ziyue has her own sense of proportion."
The veiled Ziyue also said softly: "Junior Brother Guang, Junior Sister Zhi, since he has saved your lives, I won't go too far, just let him lie in bed for a few days."
"Well, that's a good idea. Let's lie on the bed and watch how he meets his junior sister." Li Yi nodded in agreement.
After hearing their words, Guang Zijin and Zhi Xinyan looked at each other and sighed heavily in their hearts.
(It seems that there is no way to dissuade them.)
…
Early the next morning, at the foot of Songshan Mountain, the mountain road became lively again.
After a night's rest, many people in the arena rushed to the finals with high enthusiasm.
"The finals haven't even started yet, and I'm already excited!"
"Me too, I can't wait for a long time."
"Everyone's mood is the same. What I'm more concerned about is, who will win the first place on this year's list?"
"Well... if I'm ranked number one on the list, I feel that Master Xuanming has the best chance."
"Is it Master Xuanming who topped the list last time? There is indeed a great chance."
"I think Taoist Master Tong Ze of the Wudang Sect is also very promising."
"In that case, doesn't Fairy Ziyue, who is second on the list, have a better chance?"
"Haha, that means you are optimistic about the top three on the last list, right??"
"Well, although the third prince was fourth in the last ranking, he lost one game after all. As for the other four, they are too young."
"Although it's a bit regretful, I think the four of them will have a chance to compete for the top spot in the next competition."
"Although I really hope that a few young people can win the first place in the ranking, but thinking about it calmly - the hope is really not high."
