Chapter 44: The Game Begins
Next.
The sky was just a little brighter, and the people shuttling in the Confucian Mansion were in a hurry and tired but did not let go of the work in hand.
There is a special receptionist at the gate to receive people sent by various families and certain forces in Juxuan City to congratulate.
Qin Yi, who was meditating, was interrupted by a knock on the door, and before he could respond, the door had been pushed open.
followed the prestige, but found that it was Lei Yan.
"I wonder if Miss Lei Yan is looking for me?"
"Shh
Lei Yan quickly stepped forward and came to Qin Yi's face, only to see him looking up.
At such a close distance, both sides seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeat, Qin Yi was puzzled and wanted to speak again, but Lei Yan first covered his mouth with a soft and smooth little hand.
"Don't ask, don't think about it. Of course, if you can win the first prize for the young lady, the young lady said that I will discuss the future marriage with you. โ
Qin Yi, who looked surprised, broke free from his mouth covered by his little hand, and hurriedly spoke:
"Ah, wait, Miss Lei Yan, did you misunderstand there, I..."
His mouth was covered by Lei Yan again, and at the same time, he handed three small porcelain bottles containing delicate pills to Qin Yi's hand.
It seemed that her purpose was only to convey a message, and then, after giving a few bottles of elixir, after doing this, a trace of blush hung on her face, and the person turned around and ran to the door.
Qin Yi didn't know why, but he still kept that surprised look.
Lei Yan turned his head slightly and glanced at the nerd who was still in a daze, this appearance was very cute, or a little funny.
"Poof. โ
Lei Yan lightly covered his small mouth with his left hand, which was amused by Qin Yi's appearance, and then, he turned around and pulled his hands back on, ready to close the door.
"Goo. โ
Looking at Lei Yan's strange appearance, Qin Yi, who was still in the heart of a young man, felt a little numb and difficult to explain.
However, the stunned expression returned to his ordinary face after Lei Yan left for a few breaths, and his eyes were still a little cold.
"It seems that Kong Qiuxue really doesn't have a few trustworthy people around him, so it's no wonder that he wants to use things like the Binding Words Spell to restrain his guards. โ
"Master, this Lei Yan is so scheming, so vicious. There were no flaws in the performance just now, if I couldn't detect the abnormality in the elixir, with the master's concentration and experience, would I be ready to put him in your heart as well?"
"Mouthy. โ
After Qin Yi was a little annoyed and angry, he calmed down and thought about whether to tell Kong Qiuxue and Wang Shitian about Lei Yan.
After all, around them, there are so many chess pieces hidden.
He said to himself:
"Even Kong Qiuxue's maids are like this, so how many people can he trust in the Confucian Mansion?"
"Master, this matter between men and women is very brain-burning, you can decide for yourself. โ
When Shen Xuan Yuanjing said this, Qin Yi reacted, and he still has to compete today!
Putting down his thoughts, he looked at the three bottles of pills in his hand, shook them, and took the pills and prepared to push the door directly.
Now, with the skillful use of the body, his figure is like a ghost's haunt, and he goes to the door in the blink of an eye, and his hands are gently closed, without a trace of sound.
And his whereabouts are Wang Shitian's living place, because now, he is not suitable for seeing Kong Qiuxue in disguise.
Three hours later.
In the inner courtyard of the Confucian Mansion, there was a 100-meter-wide stone ring, and when you looked up, there was already an artificially erected wooden tower on the ring, with a height of about 45 meters.
The representatives of the thirteen branches and main veins of Confucius stood up, led the three-person teams representing each of them, slowly came to the edge of the ring, and stepped onto the ring lightly.
Kong Qiuxue changed into a dark blue power suit, with the temperament of a heroine, Qin Yi, who was standing behind her, saw such a back, and remembered the scene when they met in the Kuifeng Mountain Range.
At the slightest sign that his thoughts were being moved, he was seated on the high platform next to the ring, and three old men who looked to be over 100 years old with long white hair raised their palms and signaled to start the game.
Around the ring, there were more than a dozen elite men, picking up the drum hammer in their hands, and beating wave after wave according to the rhythm, with bursts of excited sounds.
It makes the teenagers who are ready to compete in the ring boil with enthusiasm!
In the middle of the ring, on the top of a tower made of giant wood, there was a golden token, and the goal of the thirteen main and branch lineages of the Confucian Mansion was that token, if it was grabbed by the team selected by a certain lineage.
Then, whether it is the main or branch lineage, one person can be elected to become a candidate for the head of the family, and when he grows up, he will be eligible to compete for the position of the head of the family with many candidates with old qualifications.
The competition for candidates is only the first step, but it is also a very important step, if you can't even succeed in the first step, you will not be eligible to compete for the position of head of the family when you become an adult.
Therefore, the Confucian Mansion's candidate competition every five years is very important.
And Qin Yi's arrival this time was not intended to give Kong Qiuxue great confidence.
Under the wooden tower of the ring, the current head of the house and a woman held torches in their hands and pointed at the wooden tower to set the wooden tower on fire.
Turning around, he shouted in a loud voice:
"Now, I declare the start of the quinquennial contest for candidates. โ
This sentence was like the fuse of explosives, which detonated the teenagers present who were preparing to participate in the competition, and filled their bodies with blood.
"Knock, knock, knock. โ
The sound of drums around the ring was heard at the same time, indicating that the excitement of the game was about to begin. The nobles of the wealthy families who were invited to Juxuan City, and the people sent by other forces to observe also sat up straight.
In this competition, it depends on who selects the three-person team to win the golden token first on the ignited wooden tower.
At the same time, there were various shouts from all around the ring:
"Come on, big brother, you are the most potential of the Kong family. โ
"Son, fight for your father, don't only dance knives and guns all day long, be smart. โ
"Brother, as long as you help me get the token first, I can say anything. โ
"Little brother Qin Fen, you must win the token, what do you need after that, just ask. โ
โยทยทยทโ
Looking at this atmosphere, everyone knows that the show is about to be staged.
When all the non-contestants stepped down from the stage, only the thirty-nine teenagers who participated in the competition were left standing on the edge of the ring.
Suddenly, opposite Qin Yi, someone saw Qin Yi limping a few steps with his left foot, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, this is the one selected by that vein? Even the lame one was selected to the ring? Is there no one to choose, if so, it is better to give up the game directly, it is better than being embarrassed in the ring!"
These words were like throwing a boulder into a lake, which instantly caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
"Hahaha. โ
"I remembered, this was chosen by Kong Weiyan and his daughter Kong Qiuxue, hahaha, I laughed to death. โ
"Ah, cousin Kong Qiuxue chosen? cousin, you are so well-behaved and cute, and dignified and elegant, how can you choose such a person to play, it is better for you to support my cousin and my team, in the future, if I become the head of the family, I will be a good match with you, hahaha"
Kong Qiuxue's parents also turned their heads to her in confusion, wondering why she, a daughter who is usually delicate and well-thought-out, made such a move today?
Ignoring the laughter of the audience, Kong Qiuxue still sat elegantly on the chair, smiling, looking in Qin Yi's direction.
After a while, her parents learned the reason from Wang Shitian's words, and they were not as anxious as before.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the game began.
Someone took the lead in rushing towards the wooden tower that caught fire, and when they saw someone making a move, everyone who participated in the competition took out their own housekeeping skills and went to the wooden tower in the middle of the ring.
"Brother Qin Fen, don't care about these people's words, just ignore them. You save your strength for the time being, and it's up to you later. โ
After Zhang Zhanhao opened his mouth, he and Nan Yuanhu rushed forward first, joined the mixed crowd, and began to fight to climb the wooden tower.
At the same time, there were still people in the ring who were passing words to Kong Qiuxue's father.
"Wei Yan, your daughter is almost at the age of marriage, right? What do you think of my son, if you can, when the team selected by my son wins the gold medal, do you want to think about it, hehe. โ
"Hmph, just your son, the hair hasn't grown!"
"Yo, don't give up? Look at who your daughter picks? โ
The same words were passed on to Kong Weiyan from time to time, they were all for their respective sons, after all, Kong Qiuxue was a famous beauty in Juxuan City.
Even the other forces outside Juxuan City respectfully stepped forward to talk, however, Kong Qiuxue's eyes were fixed on one person from beginning to end, ignoring those who came forward to talk and flatter.
Such an attitude caused more people to ridicule Qin Yi.
"Hahaha, dead lame, hurry down, I see that you are too pitiful, give you a generous settlement fee, leave early, ahaha. โ
"yes, otherwise the other leg will be gone, how will I live after that? hahaha. โ
Qin Yi pretended to be lame and slowly walked towards the wooden tower, wanting to observe the fighting methods and moves of these people first, but he heard all kinds of foul language outside the ring.
There was also a hint of anger in his heart, but even if he thought about it, he had already experienced a lot of things, but now he was more calm and calm than teenagers of the same age.
In the ridicule, sarcasm, and sarcasm of everyone, he ignored it, but quietly placed a few array flags on the ground by himself.
Although, it was difficult for some people with low cultivation to find out, but on the high platform seats outside the ring, in addition to the three old men, there were also several middle-aged people who were the pillars of the Kong family who also discovered Qin Yi's movements.
One of the old men spoke:
"Young age, calm-hearted, rational and methodical, although pretending to have a disability, but in fact he is bold and careful, who chose this child, very discerning. โ
The other two old men also nodded their heads, and several high-ranking members of the Kong family also responded:
"Well, it's very interesting, this kid actually knows how to form a formation? It seems that Kong Weiyan gave birth to a good daughter, and he actually picked a powerful person. โ
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Qin Yi slowly approached the wooden tower.
At the same time, there were many people on the wooden tower who began to unite because of the chaotic battle, and they seemed to have premeditated early on, joining forces to exclude the others first, and cooperating with the clouds.
Seeing this, Qin Yi was still standing in the ring next to the wooden tower, looking up at the situation.
And the people in the audience laughed even more, thinking that Qin Yi was scared, and they were so frightened that they stood there and didn't dare to make any moves.
Qin Yi turned his head, ignoring everyone's ridicule, and glanced at Kong Qiuxue, with a smile on his face.
Then, he used his Yuan Force, used his skills, and also headed towards the wooden tower.
Kong Qiuxue saw Qin Yi's smile, and suddenly, she had a feeling of dรฉjร vu, but she couldn't remember it, but she also showed a smile on her face.
Quietly looking at the limping figure, he climbed towards the wooden tower.
She was expecting that person to surprise her, and at the same time, she also looked forward to knowing that this young man would take the initiative to explain her background to her.
As the tide in the ring ebbed and flowed, it caused all kinds of shouts and cheers outside the ring.
The competition for candidates has also kicked off the prelude to the coming white-hot.
At the same time that the Confucian Mansion was in full swing to hold the competition for the candidates of the head of the family, six uninvited guests came to Juxuan City.
They are dressed very ordinarily, but their body style and tracking ability are very strong.
"Is it right here?"
"Well, although he acted in concealment, after all, he was still a teenager, and he left some breath to come to this Juxuan City. โ
"Okay, signal and we'll keep tracking. โ
After saying that, the six of them scattered and headed towards the surroundings of Juxuan City.
