"Young master, I'm afraid you're going to meet an opponent tomorrow. ”

"Old Guo, are you saying that there is someone in this inn who can threaten Ben Shao?" said the demonic young man under the gray robe.

"Yes. The gray-robed old man known as Guo Lao nodded, and said lightly: "This person's strength is far above the young master, if the young master encounters it tomorrow, he must be careful." ”

"Far above this?!"

Hearing this, the demonic young man couldn't help but show his arrogant instinct, and said with disdain on his face: "Old Guo, you can never be wrong when you look at people, but this time it's a bit too early to draw conclusions, right? ”

This old man, who has been following him for ten years, can indeed be called half of his master, and he is naturally very clear about his strength, and even knows his methods well.

"Young master, although you are talented, but after all, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, what the old slave said before is not the slightest joke, and please think that the young master has taken it seriously. ”

Hearing this, the bewitching young man's face couldn't help but become ugly, when it came to people outside the world, how proud he was back then, until he met that cold woman that day, he didn't know what a real genius was......

After being silent for a while, he suddenly snorted coldly and asked, "Old Guo, is the person from the inn Lu Changqing?"

I didn't think that the old man surnamed Guo actually shook his head, "It's not a person from the Spirit Wind Sword Domain, nor a person from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, but the aura is slightly biased towards the disciple of the Sword Star Divine Pavilion." ”

"Sword Star Divine Pavilion?" The demonic young man was stunned for a moment, frowned and muttered, "Could it be that guy who is cold and rebellious?"

After thinking about it, it is said that this guy has been so obsessed with a female disciple in the pavilion that he has forgotten about his cultivation, how could he have time to come to the imperial city.

"Not really. The old man surnamed Guo shook his head slightly, "The cold and rebellious old slave mentioned by the young master has also met a few times, this breath is not him, maybe a new genius was born in the Sword Star Divine Pavilion." ”

At this point, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his godless old eyes, but the killing intent only lasted for a moment before it completely dissipated.

As if sensing his intentions, the demonic young man was a little surprised: "Old Guo, you want to kill him?"

The old man surnamed Guo did not deny it, "If the young master wants to get the cicada-clothed princess, this person can't stay." ”

"But this is the Imperial City. The demonic youth frowned.

The old man surnamed Guo sighed lightly, "So the old slave didn't make a decisive move, the young master should not be careless tomorrow, although the old slave doesn't know his true strength, even the disciples of the Sword Star Divine Pavilion are just guessing, but he gives me the feeling that he is not a mediocre person, and he may also be the young master's biggest enemy this time." ”

Hearing this, the demonic young man couldn't help but sneer, "Ben Shao doesn't think so, except for the cold woman in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, there has never been anyone in this world who can make my starry cold sky feel jealous, even Lu Changqing is the same!"

"Alas, young master, I can't imagine that to this day you can't forget the oppression that that girl brought back then. The old man surnamed Guo shook his head with a wry smile.

"Of course, I can't forget, if there is anyone in this world who can completely defeat Ben Shao, it must be that woman, and there is no one else. The demonic young man said with an extremely serious face.

Although it had been three years since this incident, the cold woman had been deeply imprinted in his heart, and since then he has gradually lost the pride that he should have, and for that woman...... The impression left is only jealousy, a deep sense of jealousy.

"Young master, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, no one is born a genius, although the little girl in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is talented, but more undoubtedly through the efforts of the day after tomorrow......"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the demonic young man: "Are you saying that Ben Shao is not working hard enough?"

"That's not what the old slave meant, the growth of the young master has always been watched by the old slave, but in comparison, the little girl in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is obviously more hardworking. ”

"Hmph, Ben Shao will defeat her one day sooner or later. The demonic young man snorted coldly and said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Guo couldn't help but show a smile, he knew that the young master's talent had never been weaker than others, but he was a little too arrogant, everything depended on talent, and the real effort was not so visible to the naked eye, and this would also limit him from becoming a strong man in the end.

"Guo Lao, let's go. As for tomorrow...... Ben is less careful. The demonic young man suddenly turned around, and his dark purple pupils looked somewhere.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Guo naturally didn't do much, and his footsteps stepped out gently, and two black shadows disappeared into the night in an instant.

.......................................

The next day, the early morning sun just covered the world, and the center of the imperial city was already filled with excited people, because this day was the day when the emperor held a martial arts competition for the princess of cicada.

As soon as the news came out, the pride of the sky from all directions came in a hurry, and it is said that the crowd gathered here had already crowded the entire streets and alleys before dawn, for fear that they would not see the face of the cicada-clothed princess.

Due to the fairness and justice of the martial arts competition, Emperor Jianfeng did not hold it in the palace, but directly asked people to create this huge martial arts arena in the center of the imperial city overnight.

Of course, the contestants are only secondary, you must know that what is even crazier are the people who are watching, these people will even do anything to see the princess of the cicada cloth, which can see the charm of this princess of the Sword Peak Empire.

In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, the contestants and the onlookers were separated, and Ye Xingchen and others also came to this martial arts arena early, with a total of about fifty or sixty people on the field, obviously not all of them have arrived.

"Senior Brother Night, do you see the guards of the golden armor spear over there? These are all the royal guards of the royal family, and their strength is above half a step, and the number is even more terrifying than a million. ”

Night Star followed his eyes, and sure enough, the entire martial arts arena was tightly wrapped by hundreds of guards wearing gold armor and holding spears, they were like towering mountains, steady and without any expression.

"Is this the Sword Peak Imperial Forest Army...... Ye Xingchen subconsciously muttered, according to rumors, many people who heard the five words of the Sword Peak Imperial Forest Army were all frightened, it can be said that they are the gods of war who protect the empire, and nothing can resist them.

"The Imperial Forest Army is the most powerful army in the empire, and it is precisely because of them that there will be no troublemakers in the imperial city for so many years, and the Royal Forest Army represents the majesty of the royal family, and this kind of assembly held by the emperor himself is naturally guarded by them. Tang Taixuan on the side explained.

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen also nodded, the royal family and the Imperial Forest Army naturally want to serve the emperor, but for some reason, the emperor has not appeared yet......

"Senior Brother Night?!"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.

Hearing this voice, the four of them turned their eyes at the same time, and Ye Xingchen's face suddenly said carelessly: "Senior Brother Li?"

Wasn't the handsome young man who was walking towards them not far away Li Zhen, the senior brother of the Sword Pavilion?

"Senior Brother Niu, Senior Brother Tang, Senior Brother Long, long time no see. Li Zhen walked over and first hugged the three people beside him.

"Haha, long time no see, I didn't expect you kid to arrive so soon. The bald bull dragon laughed in response.

The other two also nodded, but they didn't say too many words just like the first time they saw Night Star, obviously they weren't too familiar with each other in the past.

"Senior Brother Li, I said why don't you want to go back, it turns out that you want to secretly participate in the competition and recruitment meeting of Princess Cicada. Night Star smiled deliberately.

Li Zhen smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he didn't have any interest in Princess Cicada, and he hadn't even really met him, the reason why he had to come to participate was because of the family's entrustment, if he lost here, then there would be no Li family in the imperial city in the future.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ye, how is my sister now? she didn't cause any trouble, right?" Li Zhen seemed to remember something, and quickly asked.

Ye Xingchen smiled and shook his head, "I didn't cause anything, I just ......"

"Just what?" Li Zhen's expression suddenly became a little nervous, which couldn't help but make Ye Xingchen laugh, "I said Senior Brother Li, are you there? With me Ye Xingchen, who dares to touch a hair of Senior Sister Xi'er? Don't worry, I want to tell you that I have misunderstood her a little before, she is a good sister, and she is also a good senior sister of Rijian Pavilion." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhencai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time showed a smile of relief, nodded at him very seriously, and said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

"Needless to say, thank you and me. Ye Xingchen hurriedly waved his hand, and then his eyes rolled, and he pretended to smile evilly: "If Senior Brother Li doesn't mind, he can marry Senior Sister Xi'er to me, how about it?"

I thought that Li Zhen would make a face in an instant, but instead of refusing, he said obligedly: "I will definitely not agree to other people's words, but if it is Senior Brother Ye, you and I can completely agree instead of Xi'er, and I will go to discuss with my father after the conference is over, what do you think?"

"Ahem...... Senior Brother Li, why don't you have any sense of humor, I'm just joking, although I don't deny that Senior Sister Xi'er is indeed a good girl, but her personality and I are still a little discordant after all. Night Star explained with a dry smile.

Niu Long on the side also laughed twice, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That is, if Senior Brother Ye marries your sister, you must not be stripped of a layer of skin by Master Liu?"

"Master Liu?" Li Zhen glanced at Ye Xingchen rather strangely, and found that the latter was shaking his head desperately, so he didn't continue to ask.

Seeing this, Ye Xingchen hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Senior Brother Li, you are a member of the Li family, you should know who are the people who participated in the martial arts competition and recruitment conference, tell us quickly, the province is arranged together, and I don't know what kind of goods the other party is." ”

Hearing this, Niu Long and Tang Taixuan also nodded at the same time, and their eyes fell on Li Zhen.
