Shen Tufei was choked by Chen Yuan's words.

After a while, he said, "That's right...... Why?"

Chen Yuan didn't bother to listen to his nonsense and turned away.

Suddenly, I heard a shout from behind me: "Brother Chen Yuan, it turns out that you are here." ”

Chen Yuan turned his head slightly, but saw three people walking slowly not far away.

Walking in the middle is a short-haired young man, with a withered face and gloomy eyes, wearing a blue-gray robe on his upper body, a pair of gray cloth pants on his lower body, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet.

Walking to his left was a round-faced fat man, wearing a dark green practice uniform, with a big belly and a cheap smile on the corner of his mouth all the time.

The one on the right is Gongsun Yu, dressed the same as last week, still dressed in white, with a thin sword hanging from his waist, and his face is more cold than the last time they met.

Chen Yuan stayed in the cave for more than ten days.

Although he rarely goes out and can't recognize the faces of all the "inheritors", he is very impressed by these three people.

said lightly, "It turned out to be Brother Huangfu, Brother Wei and Brother Gongsun." ”

The young man in the green robe is the largest and most famous "Huangfu Zunlong" among this group of inheritors.

Seeing that Chen Yuan recognized himself at a glance, he smiled, "It turns out that you recognize me." ”

"I have admired the name for a long time," Chen Yuan said without being salty or indifferent.

"Brother Chen Yuan even recognizes me Wei Hong, how can I not recognize you, the tall feet of the 'Five Poisons Old Man'?" the round-faced fat man complimented.

The name of "Five Poisonous Old Men", Chen Yuan also heard Shen Tufei talk about it.

It is said that this "Five Poisons Old Man" is the founding head of the "Five Poisons Gate" in the southwest border, not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but his Gu poison technique is even more unique in the southwest, and everyone in Miao Xinjiang has heard of it.

In the first round of the "primary election", Huangfu Zunlong poisoned his opponent to death by virtue of the secret poison skills of his master, causing the body to be seriously ulcerated and smelly, and the scene was full of filth and miserable.

Chen Yuan didn't have a good impression of the "Gu Poison Technique", and his attitude towards Huangfu Zunlong was naturally not close, and when he heard Wei Hong's boasting, he didn't make any response.

Huangfu Zunlong saw that his attitude was cold, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Let everyone laugh, although he is from the 'Five Poison Gate', he is stupid by nature, and he is not worth a sigh, how can he compare to Brother Chen Yuan, he was favored by the 'dragon head' as soon as he entered the cave, and he is really envious of others." ”

Chen Yuan saw that he turned his head to himself, and he didn't go down politely with the other party, and said bluntly: "The three of you have something to do with me?"

Wei Hong scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to my brother and get acquainted with each other." ”

"That's sorry," Chen Yuan said, "The 'grab for the seat' will start immediately, and I will have to spend some time preparing for pranayama, if there is nothing to do, I will be temporarily absent." ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around.

Huangfu Zunlong saw that he didn't give him any face, and he was angry, but it was not good to attack in person.

With a smiling face, he said: "Brother, wait, the three of us came, in fact, ...... I want to talk to you about 'cooperation'. ”

"Cooperation?" Chen Yuan glanced back at him and frowned, "What cooperation?"

The corners of Huangfu Zunlong's mouth hooked upward, and he said slowly, "After the 'grabbing the position', it is the last round of 'final selection', I don't know what my brother's plans are?"

Chen Yuan said indifferently, "Before the 'grab for the position' has started, will it be too early to start talking about the 'final election'?"

"It's not early at all," Huangfu Zun Long Yin said with a smile, "If we can settle the 'big event' earlier, it will be of great benefit to both you and the three of us." ”

The more Chen Yuan listened, the more confused he became,

I was about to ask a question.

Shen Tufei next to him grabbed the conversation and asked: "No, the final rules of each year will not be announced until the moment before the 'final selection' opens, you don't even know how to compare the 'final selection', how can you cooperate with others?"

Huangfu Zunlong has never been waiting to see Shen Tufei, and he didn't want to deal with him.

But seeing that he and Chen Yuan had a very close relationship, it was inconvenient to be too lazy, and said with a smile, "Since we dare to come to Brother Chen Yuan to discuss cooperation, we have naturally learned the rules of the 'final selection' in advance, and ...... At present, there are only three of us who know the inside story, as long as Brother Chen Yuan is willing to consider cooperation, I will inform you immediately. ”

Chen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the three of them, his eyes were quite playful.

Obviously, this is another pit.

Since the rules of the "final election" will not be announced until the last minute, who would dare to risk killing their heads and reveal inside information to the three in advance except for the rule-makers?

From this point of view, there is no doubt that this person who revealed "inside information" must be the "dragon head".

On second thought, what is the purpose of the "dragon head" doing this?

In case he can't pass the "grab for the position" and is killed on the stage, won't his "plan" be completely frustrated?

For these, Chen Yuan never understood.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to listen to what Huangfu Zunlong has to say, and then plan for a countermeasure.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan looked at Huangfu Zunlong and said slowly, "Since Brother Huangfu thinks so highly of me, I can't refuse, so you tell me the final selection rules first, and then I will seriously consider your suggestion." ”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the three people opposite him all showed cunning colors.

Huangfu Zunlong took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "This matter is very secret, it is inconvenient to talk to too many people, please come with me." ”

"Hehe, let's make it up. ”

Chen Yuan scolded in his stomach, but his face was silent.

He smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I will never betray my 'brother'." ”

"Okay," Huangfu Zunlong didn't care about Shen Tufei's attitude, and directly "invited" Chen Yuan to a remote corner, and muttered in his ear for a while.

Chen Yuan looked as usual at first, but the more he heard it, the more ugly his face became, and he said coldly: "What you said is true?"

"The people in the 'pavilion' told me personally, can there be a fake?"

Huangfu Zunlong whispered, "If the four of us work together, we may be able to survive this catastrophe, but if not, I'm afraid it will ......."

After speaking, Wu sighed for a long time.

Chen Yuan pondered for a long time and said slowly, "I understand." Cooperation is possible, but with one condition. ”

As soon as Huangfu Zunlong heard that he agreed to cooperate, his eyes were shining, and he was about to open his mouth to ask, when Chen Yuan's voice had already reached his ears: "If Shen Tufei can enter the 'final selection' alive, I will also take him with me." ”

"This ......"

Huangfu Zunlong hesitated slightly.

He has always had a bad impression of Shen Tufei, so he naturally doesn't want to take him more.

But after thinking about it, if he didn't bring Shen Tufei, I'm afraid Chen Yuan wouldn't easily agree to cooperate with him.

He immediately nodded and said, "Since my brother has spoken, I have to agree, but let me remind you that this person is open-mouthed and cheating, and you have to pay more attention to get along with him." ”

"I don't have to worry about this," Chen Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "I have my own measure." ”

Seeing that he had already agreed to "cooperate", Huangfu Zunlong didn't say anything more.

The two walked back to the "Shanhai Pavilion" together, Huangfu Zunlong looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Take care, we'll meet when we 'finalize'." ”

After speaking, he strode away with Wei Hong and Gongsun Yu.

Shen Tufei saw that Chen Yuan's expression was quite amused, and said tentatively, "Did he order you not to reveal half a word to me?"

"Even if he doesn't tell me, I won't tell you a word. Chen Yuan squinted at him and said.

"Why?" said Shen Tufei's eyes widened.

"No, why," Chen Yuan said casually, "There are some things that can't be explained clearly in one sentence or two, and knowing too much will not be conducive to your next selection." ”

Shen Tufei saw that he refused to say, and he didn't ask any more.

He said to himself, "These three people are sneaky, they have nothing to do, and they are definitely not well-intentioned. I think...... Huangfu Zunlong is just playing tricks, and there must be some conspiracy hidden behind the scenes. ”

"You can't say that," Chen Yuan deliberately provoked him, "When you came to 506 to find me, weren't you also 'courteous for nothing', why didn't you come to someone else, but you couldn't stand it?"

When Shen Tufei heard this, he was really anxious.

His cheeks flushed, and he argued, "Can I compare with them, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing Chen Yuan's eyes staring at him intently, his tone suddenly weakened, and added, "It's also to help yourself ......."

"Seeing that you still have two truths in your mouth, I can reveal a little bit to you," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "If you are not afraid of death, you can come over by yourself." ”

Shen Tufei scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and immediately stepped forward if he didn't care if he didn't die.

Chen Yuan attached it to his ear and whispered two words: Secret Realm.

Shen Tufei trembled violently and said, "You mean, the location of the final selection is ......?"

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and looked at him silently.

Shen Tufei immediately understood, and closed his mouth immediately.

But his cheeks were flushed, and he was obviously very excited.

Chen Yuan wasted no time in pouring cold water and said slowly, "What's the use of being happy now, in case we die in the 'battle for position', even if we have gold and silver, we can't take it away." ”

"That's right," Shen Tufei calmed down a little.

Chen Yuandao: "The most important thing now is to successfully pass the 'grab for position', as for the later things, we can only leave it to later." ”

Shen Tufei nodded heavily and said, "Damn...... In order to go to 'over there' to take a look, Lao Tzu let it go, this time I don't rely on my grandfather, I rely on myself. ”

Chen Yuan smiled indifferently and didn't say much.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a "Ka" sound from the vermilion lacquer gate on the first floor of the "Shanhai Pavilion", and then opened to both sides.

Fu Bo, dressed in a black practice uniform, walked out of the door slowly, and said with a smile: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, next...... There will be a second battle for the position of this year's 'inheritor' selection. You will be randomly matched with one of the 'inheritors' selected last year to compete in a duel, and the winner will advance to the third round of 'final selection', and the loser will either die or be sent to next year's successor list for a new round of selection. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone present was shocked.

Chen Yuan did not react much because he had long understood the rules.

Immediately afterward, I saw Faber take out a black instrument and lightly touch it.

Just listening to the soft sound of "Di", a holographic screen appeared in front of the majestic "Mountain and Sea Pavilion".

Fauber clicked a few times on the screen and said, "In order to ensure the fairness of this selection, the top ten 'inheritors' ranked last year will not appear in the matching list. Next, please come forward and draw your opponents one by one in the order of 'numbering', and I wish you good luck. ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, three black lines were drawn on his face, "It's in the order of 'numbering' again, Su Qingxuan did it on purpose at all." ”
