"Wow, this popularity!" looked at the thunderous audience, Zuo Congrong sighed.

The first competition of the first division has just passed, and the second competition has also started vigorously on the second day. By the way, yesterday's winner was Yuan Fei of the Fifth Academy, and sure enough, he was also a genius who had completed the third stage of armament under the age of fifty, and under the experience gap of more than ten years, the forty-seven-year-old Han Yun didn't even have a chance, and he lost the competition, although it was a little unfair, but there was no way to do it.

In the first round of the tournament so far, there have been times when the crowd has shown great enthusiasm, but after all, it has only been a local area where people have shouted and cheered, or whispered and so on, and there have only been two times when the entire venue has seen such a grand occasion like this. The first scene was naturally the battle between Zuo Congrong and An Xu, but unfortunately, although the audience was in high spirits, they drank inverted colors, and the voices in the ears were all scolding and calls for forced exit, and the "spilled" into the venue was not flowers and colored paper, but all kinds of half-eaten things and various packaging bags of garbage.

And the second one, which is the battle that Shion will participate in. Looking at the situation, Ziyuan's name seems to be very loud in the imperial capital, and in terms of cheers, it is much stronger than Zuo Congrong, who is not welcomed. Of course, Shion's popularity is not limited to this, although the number of the contestants is fixed, but the number in the hands of the contestants is random, and only half an hour before the start of the game, people can know the names of the upcoming players from the announcement screen. And the audience couldn't know who the contestants were, but there were still many people holding banners cheering for Aster.

"Of course, who do you think Sister Ziyuan is, her popularity is naturally very high. Unlike some people, the audience's voice was a little inferior to what it is now, but it was not much worse, but it was all applauded, and at the end of the day, the reputation of the Second Academy was ruined. It's made us a little scared to go out these days. Mingzhu seemed to be talking about his own business, and after praising Ziyuan proudly, he teased Zuo Congrong.

This girl is good everywhere, but she is a little lacking in virtue in her mouth, of course, this lack of virtue is also very targeted, only for boys, and although there are three boys in the whole club, one is her bodyguard and full-time nanny, and the target is naturally only Yaming and Zuo Congrong. And thanks to her. Yaming and Zuo Congrong formed a small alliance as a last resort, and because the two often came together, a group of girls mistakenly thought that the two had something disgusting, which made the reputation of the two in the club even more stinky.

"What can I do, it's all forced by the situation to be like this. At the beginning, Yamin also suggested that I go to the last round and use firearms again, but as you can see, that An Xu obviously has the conditions to manifest the second armament, and I don't even have the ability to fight such a powerful opponent. It's good enough to win the competition, but where can you care about what method to use. Zuo Congrong pleaded helplessly.

"In other words, it's because you're unlucky, right? The lack of ability is also your personal reason, in the final analysis, it is caused by your personal poor performance. It's such a bad excuse. If you are a man, you will generally endure people's insults silently, which is like you......" Mingzhu also deliberately looked Zuo Congrong up and down with a look of disgust. It was as if Zuo Congrong had done something that had lost his conscience. In fact, Mingzhu also knew that there was no mistake with Zuo Congrong in that competition, on the contrary, in terms of the students of the Second Academy, he still felt that Zuo Congrong did a very good job, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, every time he had the opportunity, he still couldn't help but tease a few words.

"I think it's all because the eldest lady said so ruthlessly that Ah Rong is like this. Lan Feng was in a cold sweat on his head, and thought silently in his heart, but he would never dare to say this, Lan Feng still has a good self-control ability in this regard.

"It's not because you said it too harshly before, how can I be as unbearable as you say. Besides, if you think it's better to go out now and wear casual clothes, you can wear the clothes of the Second Academy to swagger through the market, who can complain about? Zuo Congrong said unconsciously.

"That...... , it's a shame that you can say it!" After listening to Zuo Congrong's rebuttal, Mingzhu suddenly changed to a sympathetic and pitiful expression and sighed.

This kind of contemptuous sympathy of "......" is really hurtful! Zuo Congrong wordlessly lowered his head and hid in the corner to lick his wounds......

"Eh, why is he here?" said to Jamin, unknowingly to himself as the two of them stopped.

"Okay, you two don't play tricks, come out, the competition should start soon. Shenwei, who was sitting on the side of Zuo Congrong, mediated to the two after the bickering was over.

"So fast? huh? Where did it come out, I don't take you to play like this. Zuo Congrong heard Shenwei's reminder, quickly raised his head and looked into the field, only to see that the duel arena was still empty, and the time displayed on the announcement screen was 8:45, that is to say, there were still fifteen points before the start of the competition, and the players would only play when they had five points left.

"How am I playing with you, I didn't say that Sister Ziyuan came out, look at the judges' seats. After Shenwei retorted, Xiang Zuo Congrong reminded.

"Huh, the emperor, why is the emperor here? After being reminded by the gods, the two people who looked at the judges' seats exclaimed at the same time.

"How do I know about Lu Dao? Kamio put on a look of innocence and cleared himself away.

Indeed, just like the surprise of Zuo Congrong and Mingzhu, after the opening ceremony, the emperor never appeared in the dueling arena again, whether it was the third or second rank. Some people are still speculating whether the emperor will wait until the first-level martial arts competition to come out to watch, after all, the first-level martial arts competition is the purpose of the entire imperial capital's martial arts, but what makes people surprised is that the emperor did not even show up for the first-level martial arts, and there was always an empty position in the center of the most prominent figures in the eight-rank field. And just when people were surprised, the emperor came to watch the second competition, that is, the competition with the appearance of Aster.

"Sure enough, Sister Ziyuan is still famous, and even the boss of the imperial capital has been recruited. Zuo Congrong sighed again.

"The boss of the imperial capital...... , If this is heard by the group of high-level figures sitting on the judges' seat, I really don't know how Lu Dao will react. Forget it, although the formulation is a bit vulgar. But it's not bad. Having said that, what is the reason why Sister Ziyuan has such a high reputation and can attract the emperor, it can't be Sister Ziyuan in the emperor's picture, you want her to be your daughter-in-law, right?" Lan Feng thought a little ridiculously. However, the idea, although ridiculous, unexpectedly guessed the truth.

"Hey, I said, why is Sister Ziyuan so popular?" Zuo Congrong asked a few people as if he had thought of something. No matter how strong the aster is. After all, she is still a student, even if she has a very dazzling aura as the student president, she is only in the academy. Even if she had the proud achievement of successfully embodying the three-stage armament at the age of twenty-five, it would be impossible for her to accumulate such a high popularity in the imperial capital.

"Well, do you know that Sister Lu Dao Ziyuan has a very resounding name?" asked Zuo Congrong as if he were selling a guanzi.

"What is the name, why don't I know the way?" asked Zuo Congrong with a blank expression.

"Hehe, it's normal for you to not know the way, this was all a few years ago, and Sister Ziyuan herself doesn't seem to like that name very much, and no one called it later. Eleven years ago. That is, when Sister Ziyuan was twenty years old, Sister Ziyuan had just entered school at that time, but her ability had already reached the level of an enhancer, as for going to school. It seems that it is purely for the sake of feeling life. Since the ability value and theoretical knowledge have already reached the graduation standard, after entering the school, Sister Ziyuan did not start studying from the first level, and directly entered the eighth level. ”

"And. Although Sister Ziyuan entered the second college, she didn't have much time in class, and she stayed in the library to study materials. Because of this strange fetish and a relatively prominent and bizarre family background, Sister Ziyuan soon became famous in the Second Academy. It seems to be nine years ago, right? That is, when Sister Ziyuan was twenty-two years old, Sister Ziyuan suddenly released a research document. It took Sister Shiyuan two years to successfully resurrect a high-tech weapon from the True Ancient Period through the literature in the academy library. However, as for what kind of weapon it is, I don't know very well, because this matter has been completely blocked by the imperial capital at the same time as it was announced. It is precisely because of this incident that Sister Ziyuan received a reward from the camp, which is the 'Thunder Ritual Armed Magic Book' that Sister Ziyuan is now holding in her hand. At the same time, Sister Ziyuan's name resounded through the streets and alleys of the imperial capital overnight, and people began to worship and chase Sister Ziyuan frantically, and gave her a very loud name 'Demon King Girl', which is the reason why Sister Ziyuan has such a high popularity, but I didn't expect that so much time has passed, and there is such a strong voice. Kamio said with some surprise.

"What did you do before, how did you know so much. Mingzhu asked unexpectedly. is the same twenty-four years old as Shenwei, and he is also a child of the family, even if he entered school at the age of sixteen, it has only been eight years so far, regardless of what happened nine years ago, how to practice Ziyuan to enter the school is so clear, no wonder Mingzhu has this question.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I have been living in the imperial capital since I was seven years old, so I am familiar with the affairs of the imperial capital. And after Sister Ziyuan became famous, people were competing to dig out the secrets of Sister Ziyuan's life experience, and they couldn't wait to dig out the old bottom, where else could I not know this. Also, I also went to Francois a few times when I was in the imperial capital, so it was naturally clear. "Of course, Mingzhu doesn't know about Kamio's past, so it's no wonder that he asks this question.

"She also likes to study true ancient weapons?" Zuo Congrong confirmed to Shenwei again as if he had captured some important information.

"I don't know about this, since I can resurrect the high-tech weapons of the True Ancient Period, I should be interested in this, right? At that time, I was not enrolled in school, and everything about Sister Ziyuan was seen in the newspaper and heard from people's mouths. Besides, if interest doesn't come out of her mouth, no one can judge, right? You say, 'Also', is there anyone else who likes to study weapons?" asked Kamio after guessing as if he had finished his guess.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking, because I also use firearms, so I'm more sensitive to these. But then again, how is Sister Ziyuan's time allocated, so the achievements of high technology, no matter how you think about it, it won't be made casually, even if it takes so much time, at the end of the year, you can still start the three-stage armament at the age of twenty-five, if you focus on ability cultivation, you can't be even better than my eldest brother. After Zuo Congrong's perfunctory speech, he diverted the topic.

"This is also the reason why Sister Aster is so popular. Sometimes I wonder too. Appearance, intelligence, ability, no matter what you take out, almost no one can match. Sister Ziyuan, who is perfect in everything, is she particularly favored by God, I really can't figure out that there are still such characters around me. After hearing Zuo Congrong's question, Shenwei also said with emotion.

"By the way, what do you mean by the illustrious and bizarre family background?"

"Well...... In fact, Sister Ziyuan seems to be the daughter of Elder Fran's illegitimate son, and she didn't return to Fran's Mansion until eleven years ago after Elder Fran's son died. Maybe it's also because of this, Sister Ziyuan chose to go to the second college just a month after returning to the French mansion, after all, suddenly living with an old man who can be said to be a complete stranger, as far as I feel, it will feel very awkward. The latter one is my own guess. Don't take it seriously. At the end of the day, as if afraid of everyone's misunderstanding, he emphasized it again.

"The daughter of an illegitimate child?" Zuo Congrong asked in amazement. This life experience is indeed bizarre enough, I didn't expect such a serious Rangol to do such a thing. But that's not the point, this kind of illegitimate child thing is the key to the bizarre. Having an illegitimate child means that before that, it was completely hidden, like the son of Fran, who was not known until his death. Since it was not found until death. In other words, even if a false son is fabricated, no one will be able to see through it. Because no one deliberately makes up a story that damages their reputation. It is a perfect disguise, in the eyes of ordinary people, Frankol is only sorry for the death of his son, and will take Aster back to Frankland.

But in Zuo Congrong's opinion, he has deeper doubts about Ziyuan's life experience. Extremely similar in appearance, and even the interest in studying real ancient weapons is extremely close. There is also a name, although the surname has been changed to "Flang", but the name "Aster" is still the same, and the same age, coupled with such a bizarre and mysterious life legend, so many coincidences and similarities, no matter what, the target is directed at that person.

"Yes, this matter was also a sensation in the imperial capital at the beginning, think about it, the chief elder of the imperial capital magic group, suddenly broke out such a scandal, for the backwater imperial capital, it can simply set off stormy waves. I really can't imagine that such an upright and serious person would do such a thing!"

"According to that, Sister Ziyuan came to the Second Academy to go to school, is it to avoid suspicion?" Zuo Congrong guessed.

"How do I know this, what is the idea is only known to Sister Ziyuan herself, I don't have the courage to ask Sister Ziyuan this question, if you are curious, just ask yourself. Okay, Sister Ziyuan is on the field, let's take it seriously and watch the competition, there are only three competitions left in the first level, and if you don't take it seriously, you will return to the third level. Kamio reminded.

“...... , let's watch the competition first!" Hearing Shenwei's suggestion, Zuo Congrong thought about the situation of asking Ziyuan a question, but he shrunk his neck and muttered to himself in a low voice, for fear that someone would see through his thoughts and turn his eyes back to the field.

"Fran, is that your granddaughter?" asked the Emperor on the judges' bench, who was watching the battle for the first time, to Farangol. Probably because of the emperor's coming, the atmosphere on the judges' bench this time seemed a little dignified, and there was no relaxed atmosphere of teasing and talking with each other like in the previous games.

"Yes, that's my granddaughter, Shion. Rangol replied respectfully.

"The last time we met was nine years ago when the award was awarded, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, I didn't expect that the little girl at that time would be so beautiful. The emperor admired.

"Yes, when I first brought it home, I was just a little girl, and in a blink of an eye, eleven years have passed, and now I can represent the second academy to participate in the first-level competition. When Rangol heard the emperor say this suddenly, he "chuckled" in his heart, as if he had guessed something, but his face obviously couldn't show anything, and he still said perfunctorily.

"That incident was really choking, I didn't expect it to become such a big sensation, and until now, the negative impact has not been completely eliminated. The emperor said with some emotion.

"Fortunately, I'm so old, and I don't care much about what others say, and I don't go out much, and I don't know anything about anything outside. ”

"Yes, didn't you have to let Shion go to the Second Academy because of the rumors? If she was in the First Academy, she should be able to easily bring the champion of the first rank back to the First Academy, and she wouldn't be eliminated in the first round. The emperor said with a look at the fire.

"Hehe, the emperor doesn't know, in fact, when Ziyuan first went to Fran's house, he was very restrained, and there was very little communication between the ancestors and grandchildren. Because I occasionally went to Fran's house as a guest, but I got closer to me, and then I was dug into the second college. Before Rangor could say anything, White Night had already told the inside story of the matter.

"Oh, so there is such a thing, but I misunderstood. Anyway, Fran, your asters, can you have a relationship with now?" the emperor asked directly after a few polite sentences.

"Huh......? , I don't know very well, Ziyuan has always been relatively independent, only occasionally go home for a day or two a week, and her personal life, I don't know very well. How could the emperor ask such a question?" said Frangol's heart suddenly, and he excused himself.

"Sure enough, I came here for this, no wonder I didn't come to watch the more than ten battles, but my granddaughter came over when she appeared, it turned out that I wanted to find him a favorite daughter-in-law. Rangol said secretly in his heart.

"This still needs to be asked, of course, to ask about relatives. Facing the pretending to be confused, without waiting for the emperor to say anything, Zhou Hang was a little rude and straightforward to tell the truth.

"Family?" At this moment, Frankor has already scolded the eighteenth generation of Zhou Hang's ancestors in his heart, who doesn't know what the Emperor of Lu Dao has to ask these plans, and you need to talk too much. Originally, I was going to pretend to be confused, so I fooled the past and shirked it, but now that Zhou Hang was so troubled, he made himself passive. had no choice but to continue pretending.

"Hehe, yes, Zhou Hang is right, I see that Ziyuan is a girl who is smart and clever, I like it very much, my second son is now just an adult, if Fran doesn't dislike it, how about ordering a family affair?" Although Zhou Hang's behavior was a little rude, the emperor was very happy at the moment, this rude character, at this time, he was relieved of the siege for himself.

"Where is the emperor, it is good to be engaged to the second prince, but I don't know if this girl Ziyuan has a relationship with her. Aster is relatively independent, and it is more appropriate to ask for her own opinion for this kind of lifelong event. Rangol excused.

"In that case, let's put it aside for the time being, and I hope Flange will think about it. "The emperor stopped the topic in a timely manner, after all, this time I came to watch the competition, this kind of public, it is really not suitable to talk about these things, just mention it, if you take this opportunity to force, it will cause other chaos, as the monarch of the camp, naturally will not let this kind of thing happen.

"Thank you Emperor for your understanding!" Although Rangol said politely, he was thinking about what to do in his heart. In terms of grandpa's thoughts, he naturally hopes that his granddaughter can follow her heart and find someone she likes, but if Flange Ziyuan hasn't found the person she likes now, it will really be difficult for the emperor to shirk it at that time.

Anyway, after the competition is over, go to Bai Ye first to ask about the situation, after all, his granddaughter has always been like a TOEFL to Bai Ye, and Bai Ye knows more about Ziyuan's personal life. What's more, Bai Ye will definitely consider Ziyuan's will as the first purpose, and the emperor's temptation this time, Bai Ye will definitely be alert, and discuss countermeasures afterwards, so as to be prepared. (To be continued......)
