Chapter 73: The Beginning of the War
"Door Master,"
As she spoke, a person suddenly stood in the center of the hall and raised his hand to Huo Yun and saluted, Ling Ling looked at the person, she remembered that the person seemed to be one of the members of the team guarding the second place in the Longyun Gate.
"Today's birthday of the door master, and the arrival of the emperor, the time is very good, and the subordinates think that the door master can announce the start of the selection of the young door master."
As soon as the man's words came out, Ling Ling looked at Mu Bai, he also looked at Ling Ling, the corners of his mouth under the mask raised, and in a voice that only Ling Ling could hear, said,
"It seems that he wants to borrow the emperor so that the master of Huomen can't show favoritism, Ling'er is afraid?"
Ling Lingxiu raised her eyebrows, her bright eyes were full of confidence, she looked at the person who spoke with a smile, and said softly,
"I'm scared."
The corners of Mu Bai's mouth raised a good-looking arc. The slender and good-looking fingers lightly picked at a few strands of green silk on her shoulder.
When the Quartet Guardian heard the man's words, he also sensed the man's intentions, Qi Yi smiled evilly, put down the cup in his hand, and got up and echoed,
"I remember when the master recalled us, he said that after the master's birthday, the selection will begin, it is rare for the emperor to arrive, and today's day is very good, and the subordinates think that it is a good time to start the battle of the young master."
Huo Yun glanced at Ling Ling with some uncertainty, seeing her confident appearance, and feeling that his worries were unnecessary, he looked at Bai Yixiu, got up and said,
"Okay, according to what everyone said, the selection of the young sect master will start immediately," Huo Yun turned around and raised his hand to Bai Yixiu and saluted. "Please also ask the emperor to witness."
Bai Yixiu smiled lightly, "Okay." ”
Huo Yun looked at everyone and raised his voice, "The rules are the same as those set three years ago, the selection of the young sect master is divided into commercial achievements, martial arts cultivation and personal achievements, commercial achievements, look at the commercial contributions made by individuals to Longyunmen in the past three years, and martial arts cultivation will compete in a one-on-one competition, and personal achievements are based on his reputation and deeds on the Mingyan Continent. ”
Although he didn't know what Ling Ling's current martial arts cultivation was, Glory had told him that she was the number one bounty hunter in the White Seal Country now, and Ling Ling had an advantage in both business and personal, even if he lost the martial arts competition, he could be said to be the best candidate for the young sect master.
"Tomorrow morning. Please bring your business ledger in the door for the past three years to the martial arts arena, and decide the order of the competition according to the account book data while comparing the business achievements. ”
As soon as Huo Yun's words came out, everyone began to rub their hands.
Qi Yi poured a glass of wine and said with a little dissatisfaction, "I really don't know what is good about her, the door master is openly and secretly biased towards her." ”
Han Tian chuckled, "Why do you always have trouble with her, since you are the person who is favored by the door master, there must be something special about it, you are doing things for the door master, why are you obsessed with who cares?" ”
Qi Yi glanced at Han Tian, "I don't have big ambitions." With that, he turned his head and continued to drink.
"Han Tian, don't pay attention to him, he's like this." Yan Yun patted Han Tian on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Han Tian smiled indifferently, "I'm used to it." ”
……
After the birthday banquet ended, everyone left one after another, and went back to prepare for tomorrow's battle of young masters, Ling Ling also got up, ready to pull Mu Bai to accompany her to practice again.
"Miss Ling."
Bai Yixiu's gentle and elegant voice came from behind him.
"I don't know what happened to the emperor?"
Bai Yixiu felt her strangeness from the inside out, his eyes were full of doubts, he just wanted to speak, and then looked at Mu Bai who was smiling on the side, and said,
"Can you take a step to speak?"
Ling Ling frowned, and his eyes for help fell to Mu Bai, who raised his hand and stroked her head, "I'll wait for you outside." ”
He nodded to Bai Yixiu again and turned to leave.
Bai Yixiu's eyes sank, and it was that feeling of déjà vu, who was it?
"Your Majesty?"
Ling Ling's voice brought him back to his senses, Bai Yixiu's face returned to a smile like a spring breeze, and he looked at Ling Ling with some hesitation,
"I don't know Miss Ling, have you ever been to Night City?"
Her heart jumped, her face was calm, and she said, "Back to the emperor, I have been with my father-in-law a few times. ”
"Miss Ling, do you know...... A man named Xiahou Ling? ”
Bai Yixiu's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation with exploration. Ling Ling lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and said,
"I don't know each other, but Ling Ling once heard my father-in-law mention it, it is said that on the first day of the first month of the second year of Yikang, the emperor issued a holy decree, which caused a sensation in the entire White Seal Country."
She has always kept this incident in mind.
The smile on the corner of Bai Yixiu's mouth became a little bitter, and he raised his eyes to look outside,
"Well, that's the only thing I can do for her."
"If the emperor has nothing else to do, then Ling Ling will retire and practice for tomorrow."
He collected his thoughts, his gaze always stayed on Ling Ling's face, hoping to find a hint of familiarity, but he was always unfamiliar, yes, maybe he just looked alike.
He smiled faintly,
"Go ahead."
Ling Ling bowed slightly,
"Emperor Xie, Ling Ling retired."
"Tomorrow...... Come on. ”
Looking at her back as she prepares to leave. Bai Yixiu said softly.
Ling Ling turned around and smiled confidently at Bai Yixiu,
"Definitely."
"Let's go."
Ling Ling found Mu Bai and pulled him to prepare to find a place to compete.
"Ling'er is not afraid that someone will come to spy on your strength?"
Ling Ling's originally anxious steps paused, and suddenly looked at Mu Bai with a sudden realization,
"yes, I almost forgot about it!"
"Prepare the ledger today, if there is a game tomorrow, just play casually, and you will definitely not meet the Quartet Guardian."
Seeing that he was so determined, Ling Ling frowned and was puzzled,
"How can you be so sure?"
The corners of his charming mouth raised, "It is the Huo Sect Master who makes the rules, he knows your business achievements, but he doesn't know your martial arts cultivation, you say, he who wants you to be the young sect master, will arrange the Quartet Guardian to fight you at the beginning?" ”
yes. How could she forget that all the interpretation rights belonged to Huo Yun!
Ling Ling's heart instantly froze, "In other words, I have enough time to observe the strength of the Quartet Guardian?" ”
Mu Bai nodded slightly, an idea suddenly popped into Ling Ling's mind, she squinted her eyes, smiled sheepishly, Mu Bai rubbed her head, and looked at her dotingly,
"What the hell are you thinking about?"
"I know what the plot will be, so stay tuned for tomorrow's performance."
As she spoke, she stepped in the direction of her own courtyard, and Mu Bai chuckled and followed.
Not far away, Qu Miaoyin, who had everything in her eyes, had a complicated expression, she knew that Mu Bai and Ling Gongzi were good friends, very good, very good, and for a moment she even doubted whether the two of them would have broken sleeves......
Even so, she couldn't suppress the worship of Ling Gongzi in her heart, and since that night, when he rescued her from Li Si's hands like a god, the three words Ling Xunhuan were deeply imprinted in her heart.
But the Ling girl who was born to the same as Ling Gongzi just now also has such a close relationship with Mu Bai, and her body shape and voice are the same as Ling Gongzi, are they really twin brothers and sisters? Qu Miaoyin was in a hurry, and she only felt that her head was a little swollen and painful.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the silk scarf in her hand, which was embroidered with two beautiful words - seeking joy.
