"Ahem, ahem...... Wait a minute, I heard you right, what did you just say?"

As soon as he heard that Hu Ling was going to make a promise, Lu Ping'an, who had only defeated nineteen opponents in a row in the morning, was almost choked to death by a mouthful of wine.

In such a cruel place as the Tian Yuan Continent, could this kind of good thing happen? Or did he say that he had experienced too many unfortunate things in the past, and now he had come to the bitter end and started to transfer?

No, no! I'm afraid it's not that simple.

After the initial shock, Lu Ping'an gradually calmed down.

Not to mention that Hu Ling is not in charge of the selection of horses, even if she really has the final say, in Lu Ping'an's opinion, this is too child's play, after all, the two of them have only known each other for less than a day.

Sure enough, I saw Hu Ling rubbing his slightly reddened cheeks and explaining to him in a hesitant manner: "That...... I didn't make it clear just now, but in fact, this is the case, in two years, Luo Tiancheng will hold an amphibious party, and I hope you will also participate in it then. ”

"Amphibious Society?" Lu Ping'an couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and after a little muttering, he asked tentatively, "Could it be a martial arts competition?"

Since it is called the Amphibious Society, and Hu Ling mentioned the horse just now, then the Eight Achievements is a competition of this nature.

Speaking of which, the royal family of Cangwu has always paid attention to the inheritance of blood, and this way of selecting horses is quite in line with the consistent style of the monarch.

"Well, yes. Hu Ling nodded, "At that time, outstanding cultivators from all over the country, as well as many other countries, will go to Luo Tiancheng to participate in the selection, and they will be assessed based on bloodline qualifications, strength, age, and other criteria. ”

"But...... Why did you choose me?And if I win......" Lu Ping'an's heart was complicated, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

"I think you can win, so I'm going to ask you for help, and I can't ask anyone else but you. ”

Hu Ling replied in a natural tone, "As for after you win...... Oops, I'm not going to let you work in vain anyway, I have my own arrangements. ”

"This ...... Let me think. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was a little lost for no reason, and poked his chin with his hand to think.

Although reason told him that he should refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, Lu Ping'an was a little speechless.

Because Hu Ling just said that she couldn't find anyone else to help except herself.

Let him sit back and watch Hu Ling become a victim of the bloodline inheritance, which is no different from seeing death and not saving him.

In addition, for this girl with a national appearance and full of personality, to say that Lu Ping'an has no idea at all, it is definitely a lie to open her eyes......

On the other side of the table, seeing that Lu Ping'an was hesitant and didn't answer for a long time, Hu Ling was so anxious that he wanted to hit someone.

In a hurry, she was heartbroken, and she played a scoundrel and said: "In short, you have to promise me, if you hadn't blindly pointed me the way yesterday and caused me to be found by Uncle Guan and them, I would have left far away by now and escaped from the sea of suffering." ”

"Hey, hey, let's talk about some reasoning, okay? How did I know that you still had this kind of hardship? Besides, with the realm cultivation of the two seniors, it shouldn't be a trouble to find someone around Wanqiu City, right?"

Lu Ping'an was speechless, and said in his heart that with Hu Ling's experience and cultivation, once he ran to another country, he would not be eaten and wiped clean by the gangsters?

"You!" Hu Ling knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't want to lose to the other party in momentum, so he snorted coldly and turned his face away, "Hmph, coward." ”

For a moment, the room fell into an awkward and subtle silence.

After about a quarter of an hour like this, after some contemplation, Lu Ping'an's heart finally had a plan.

He took a deep breath, got up from his seat, and said to Hu Ling, "I'm sorry, I can't give an answer yet." ”

"Ah, why not?" Hu Ling blurted out as he asked, his face full of disappointment.

"First, two years is too long, what if I don't live to that day? Second, although I am confident, I can't guarantee victory, and I don't want to give you too many unnecessary expectations. ”

"Thirdly, and most importantly, my enemies are still eyeing me, ready to get rid of me, in short, let's wait until Wanqiu Dabi is over. ”

Although Lu Ping'an is ambitious and fearless, he can't let Hu Ling take the same risk as himself.

Under the circumstance of mastering the Golden Light Divine Mantra and stepping into the eightfold martial arts realm, Lu Ping'an still did not have the certainty of defeating Chen Hao in the big competition, and how to deal with Lu Tianwang was also a headache.

If you don't get through these two difficulties, how can you talk about what will happen in two years?

"You don't have to worry about the enemy's affairs, I can ......"

"No, it's complicated, and I have to solve it myself. Lu Ping'an interrupted and refused Hu Ling's help.

If he needs the help of others to get out of the current predicament, it can only mean that he is nothing more than that.

After saying this, Lu Ping'an didn't give Hu Ling a chance to grind hard, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.

"Lu Ping'an, you stop for me!" Hu Ling was so angry by Lu Ping'an's self-assertion that he got up, gritted his teeth and threatened, "If you dare to step out of this gate, I will break your legs!"

"Haha, I know you won't. Lu Ping'an smiled, his footsteps did not stop, and he gently closed the door after stepping out of the threshold.

Listening to Lu Ping'an's footsteps outside the corridor, Hu Ling's shoulders rose and fell, and she raised a tea cup high, but after thinking about it, she still didn't fall.

Just now in the lobby downstairs, she witnessed a subordinate being slapped by the shopkeeper for breaking dishes.

For some reason, Hu Ling suddenly remembered this scene at this time.

Although with Hu Ling's identity and status, even if this Heyi Inn was demolished, no one would dare to say anything bad, but there was a voice in her head that told her that she couldn't lose her temper like before.

The various things she has experienced recently have made this ignorant girl have a lot of different views on herself, the Cangwu Kingdom, and even the Tian Yuan Continent.

"Uncle Guan, come over here. ”

Hu Ling put the teacup back on the table, and greeted in the direction of downstairs.

After just a few snaps of his fingers, Guan Xiantu appeared in front of the door of the guest room: "What does Your Highness command?"

"You send someone to follow him and check on the situation in his family. Hu Ling fiddled with his two little fingers and said, "By the way, I ...... with him just now."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old man didn't hear anything. Guan Xiantu stroked his long beard lightly, pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I'll go there in person, and I'll leave it to Brother Zhou." ”

Guan Xiantu has lived a long time, and he is naturally clear about Hu Ling's little thoughts.

As a guest of honor in Cangwu Kingdom, due to his sensitive position, he will neither report this kind of thing much, nor will he talk to Hu Ling about his opinions.

On the other side, Lu Ping'an, who was walking along the remote lanes in the city, finally came to the outside of the city lord's mansion.

Although the group results of the preliminary round of the big competition were already sent to the mansions of each family by special personnel last night, the city lord's mansion at this time was still crowded and noisy.

Most of the onlookers were ordinary people watching the excitement, and some cultivators who had signed up for the competition in their own names, and people like Lu Ping'an were purely exceptional.
