Chapter 54: The Selection of the Royal City

Faced with He Ku's straight eyes, Jing Hanqing was a little messy: "Senior brother, what are you talking about?"

He thought about it for a while, his wording seemed to be a little strange, and he changed his words and said: "I mean, do you want to skip the selection of the royal city directly and participate in the selection of the successor." ”

"What do you mean...... Want to give me your place?" Jing Hanqing asked.

He Ku nodded lightly: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Jing Hanqing couldn't believe it for a while, his hands grabbed him tightly, and asked affectionately, "Why are you so good to me?"

He Ku pulled his hand out of his fat hands: "Because I'm not interested in going." ”

Jing Hanqing was a little surprised, the temptation of this successor selection was so great, why bother to bluntly say that he was not interested.

Although Jing Hanqing said that he was greedy, he also refused: "I appreciate the kindness of my senior brother, but I can't accept this gift from my senior brother, I am not only a member of the Jing family, but also an outer disciple of the Shuiyun Academy, no matter what." ”

He Ku also understands what Jing Hanqing said, with his identity, it is indeed a little difficult to explain to accept this place.

If the identity of his Jing family's children is exposed, he is afraid of causing a dispute between the Jing family and the Shuiyun Academy.

So what about this place, if it is wasted, it is a pity.

Why bother if you don't want to get involved at all, if you have this kind of work, you should cultivate yourself.

Although there is a great temptation to become the heir of the queen, it also brings the possibility of exposing many secrets on He Ku's body, he is not a person from the mainland, if he is investigated for the roots, he doesn't know how to explain it.

More things are better than less things, why bother with such a mentality, naturally want to hand over the quota in your hand.

When he was hesitating, Shui Ningrou came to the door.

"Why bother, Senior Brother!" Shui Ningrou summoned with a slightly red pretty face.

She and He Ku are both core disciples, and their identities are the same, so they are naturally judged by age, Shui Ningjiao and Shui Ningrou are a little younger than He Ku, so they are naturally commensurate with senior brothers.

"Senior Sister Ning Rou, what's the matter?" He Ku looked at Shui Ningrou's eyes, she seemed to have something in her heart, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at He Ku.

Shui Ningrou didn't answer directly, and diverted the topic: "Since Senior Brother is already a core disciple and is older, he should call me Senior Sister, how can he still be called Senior Sister." ”

"I'm used to it, I call you senior sister, you call me senior brother, let's talk about it. He replied casually, anyway, it's just a name, and it seems troublesome to worry too much.

Shui Ningrou smiled slightly: "Since Senior Brother means this, then Ningrou should accept it." I haven't congratulated the senior brother yet, first won the status of the core disciple, and then won the quota for the selection of the successor of the direct promotion, but I didn't expect the senior brother to be so powerful. ”

"It's all trivial things, why should Senior Sister Ning Rou congratulate her personally. ”

"I don't know if the quota of Senior Brother's direct successor has been filled?" Shui Ningrou asked this sentence cautiously, but she was extremely nervous in her heart.

He bothered to flip through it, and the voucher appeared in his hand.

Shui Ningrou looked at the blank voucher that had not yet been filled in, and the tension in her heart eased slightly, after all, once this voucher was filled in, it would be recorded in the City Lord's Mansion, and the voucher would be useless.

"Senior brother, this certificate ......"

Shui Ningrou wanted to say something, but He Bitter snatched the words first.

"Senior Sister Ning Rou, I'll leave this place to you. I had no intention of participating in this contest for a place, but I took away some of your creation by mistake, and now it is considered to be the original return. ”

"Huh? This ......"

Shui Ningrou was surprised, she was here for this place, but she didn't expect that it would be He Ku who took the initiative to give it, which temporarily disrupted the move that she had been thinking about for a long time, so she was a little panicked for a while.

He couldn't help but say, and stuffed the voucher in his hand to Shui Ningrou.

Between the deliveries, He Ku's hand inevitably touched Shui Ningrou's jade hand, making Shui Ningrou, who was already a little flustered, even more confused.

I don't remember what He Ku said again, and somehow I returned to my own courtyard, looking at the voucher in my hand, it was like a dream.

And when she came back to her senses, Shui Ningrou hurriedly carved Shui Ningjiao's name on this last place......

As for why bother, giving the quota in his hand to Shui Ningrou is also a wish.

I got this quota inexplicably, so how can the competing Shui family and the Yun family be embarrassed, so it is naturally better to return it.

Why bother, it is naturally impossible to hand it over to the Yun family, after all, with Yun Cuiqing's attitude, and the arrogant Yun Che, it is not pleasing to the eye, how can they give them this place.

Shui Ningjiao and Shui Ningrou brought themselves to the Shuiyun Academy Palace, and they also maintained him everywhere, and this place should be regarded as an expression of his own gratitude.

......

The selection of the royal city was about to start tomorrow, and the atmosphere in the entire school palace gradually became tense, and hundreds of disciples were looking forward to it.

Not only the Shuiyun Academy, but also the four major families, the other two university palaces, and all the people of the right age who live in the royal city will all participate in it.

This selection will undoubtedly be the biggest event in Wangcheng for hundreds of years, and it will naturally attract the attention of many people.

I don't know how many people came to see the glory of the royal city, but unfortunately they were stopped from the city gate. It is not uncommon for people like He Ku to be introduced into the royal city.

Although Wang Cheng had limited the number of people participating in the selection as much as possible to prevent people from outside Wang Cheng from participating, the number of people who finally signed up was still tens of thousands.

The selection of so many people is also a great problem for the Wangcheng Mansion.

In order to alleviate the pressure of selection, Wang Cheng decided to divide into ten venues for the primary selection, first to eliminate most of the people in the primary selection, and then gather in front of the Wang Cheng Mansion for the final selection of Wang Cheng.

After all, only seventy people would come out on top in the end, because thirty of them had already been traded by City Lord Luan Wenzhi to the Seven Great Forces.

Such an exaggerated proportion of the campaign has not made people retreat, even if there is only a slight possibility, and everyone is unwilling to give up.

The next day, when the sky was dark, the people had already begun to move, and most of the people in the royal city left their homes and went to the ten venues of the primary. Even if you don't participate in this selection, you will go to join in the fun.

And the Shuiyun Academy Palace was no exception, led by the palace master Shui Yingyue and several elders, and took a group of selected disciples to the nearest primary selection venue to the Shuiyun Academy, including Shui Ningjiao.

In the entire Shuiyun Academy, among the core disciples of the inner disciples and the hundred outer disciples selected, only two people did not participate in this selection of the royal city, one was Shui Ningrou, and the other was He Bitter.

In the eyes of everyone, He Ku naturally decided that he would not participate in this selection a long time ago, after all, he had a place to directly advance to the selection of successors.

And Shui Ningrou did not participate in the selection, but let Shui Ningjiao participate, could it be that the direct promotion quota of the Shui family was handed over to Shui Ningrou?

This is just everyone's speculation, and only Shui Ningrou knows what it is.

As for the direct promotion quota of the Yun family of the Shuiyun Academy, it was given to Yun Che, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, and his identity at the moment was an outer disciple, and he was not among the hundred people selected, so naturally he did not participate.

Although there were many outer disciples who still went to participate, they could not follow the school palace together.

He naturally didn't know anything about the outside world, even if Jing Hanqing dragged him to join in the fun, he didn't have the slightest interest.

Why bother with a temperament that is already like this, and now that he is bent on improving his cultivation, how can he be delayed by this trivial matter.

In his opinion, this Qingwei Continent is still much weaker than the Dongming Empire, and his eyes are not only in this projectile land.

What's more, he already has a lot of secrets, and if he reveals his edge, he will definitely be targeted by many people.

If his unbelievable cultivation is exposed, and he has no background, I am afraid that many people will inquire into his secrets.

This is also the reason why He Ku has always refused to participate in the selection of the royal city and the selection of the successor, and he has already aroused the suspicion of the Yun family in the school palace before.

The more people who know him, the more people who will risk exposing their secrets, not to mention, this Shuiyun Palace seems to have a page of "Zhengdao". If something is exposed on his body, then I am afraid it will be more than the trouble that I think of in front of me.

Mu Xiu is in the truth that the forest wind will destroy it, and He Ku naturally knows very well, it is better to keep a low profile, accumulate strength, and arrive at the Lishan Realm as soon as possible and leave this place is the goal in He Ku's heart.

Although He Ku has been away from the He family for a few months, the scenes of the past are vivid, and the picture of his mother fainting to death and being judged by the elders of the He family will still appear in front of him, and the word revenge has always been engraved in his heart.

Shui Ningrou was also sitting quietly in the courtyard at this moment, her clear and translucent eyes seemed to be flickering, her pretty face was cold, and she frowned slightly.

I don't know what I'm thinking, I seem to be unwilling, and I seem to regret, and my expression gradually darkened.

Compared with the deserted Shuiyun Academy, the venues for the top ten primary elections are extremely lively.

Although there were only a few thousand people participating in each place, the crowd of onlookers was tens of thousands, and the focus of the entire royal city was also gathered in these ten venues.

The selection of tens of thousands of people in the entire royal city also made the city lord's mansion work hard.

In order to reduce the consumption of manpower, material and financial resources, Luan Wenzhi resolutely chose to use the restrictions of cultivation to screen in the first round of the primary election.

First measure the bone age of the candidate, and then measure their spiritual cultivation, check them one by one according to the cultivation standards of different ages, if they pass, they will enter the next round of selection, and if they fail to pass, they will be eliminated directly.

In this way, half of the candidates can be eliminated. After all, if the outstanding geniuses required in all aspects are not even at an average level of cultivation, how can they inherit the queen's throne.

In the first round of the primary selection alone, it took several days, and then it took a whole month to complete the rounds of the primary selection, and thousands of people were selected from tens of thousands of people to participate in the final selection of the royal city selection.

This includes dozens of disciples of the Shui Yun Academy, more than half of the core disciples are impressively listed, Shui Ningjiao is naturally among them, and Yun Zhongce is no exception.

But among the only three remaining outer disciples, one of them turned out to be Jing Hanqing, and he was also surprised to learn about it, sure enough, Jing Hanqing was not an ordinary person.

And in the month of the primary election, in addition to boring cultivation, why bother to go to the Town Pagoda, which is now the Shujing Pavilion to browse books.

After all, he is already a core disciple, and he can go up to the fifth layer, so why bother to go to the Shujing Pavilion when he is free, these five layers of books are also close to reading.

At the same time, the selection of Wangcheng has also come to an end......
