When the afterglow of the sun was reflected on the west side of the square, the primary selection of the smelting competition also came to an end. After a day of competition and evaluation, 30 players were finally selected to enter the semi-finals. Among these outstanding players, the audience was greatly appreciated by Si Qing's skillfulness and Lu Tao's strange skills.

Walking on the boulevard back with Tang Xuexin and the three of them, Qin Tao put his hands behind his head, leisurely enjoying the relaxation of the evening, not at all like a contestant participating in the competition.

Tang Xuexin naturally understood Qin Tao's self-confidence, but from the young man's expression, he seemed to turn a deaf ear to the attack that happened before the game, and did not take it to heart at all.

Soon, the four of them came to the dining hall and found a secluded corner to sit down. Qin Tao, who was already a little hungry, ordered the food unceremoniously, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Dongdong poked out his little fluffy head from Qin Tao's arms, his big eyes stared straight at the menu in Qin Tao's hand, and he let out a burst of excited whimper and a pile of saliva as if he could understand.

Looking at the foodie-like man and beast beside her, Tang Xuexin felt as if three deep black lines appeared on her forehead, and she was helpless for a while.

After the dishes were served, Qin Tao and Dongdong began to gobble up without hesitation, and the frequent eating looked like they had been starving for a long time.

Tang Xuexin finally couldn't bear the doubts in her heart, put down her chopsticks and asked Qin Tao, "Are you really not worried at all?"

Qin Tao raised his eyes to look at the girl beside him while pulling the rice in the bowl, and then shook his head as if he was fine.

Sighing softly, Tang Xuexin shook her head slightly: "I really can't ...... you"

Fang Yu on the opposite side had already seen that the young master and Qin Tao were wrong, but he couldn't ask directly, so he turned around and interjected: "Young master, do you need me and Tama to go tonight about that mysterious person?"

Tang Xuexin's gaze moved to Fang Yu and shook her head gently: "Uncle Fang, I'm afraid this mysterious person has already reached a conclusion in my hearts with Lu Tao......

The words made Fang Yu stunned for a moment, and Tama on the side also cast a kind of startled gaze, Tang Xuexin paused slightly, and then told Qin Tao's suspicions and what happened in the intervening period.

After Tang Xuexin finished speaking, Qin Tao put down his chopsticks and patted his bulging stomach with satisfaction, needless to say that he was already full. Fang Yu and Tama were both lost in thought at this time, and they had no interest in the food in front of them.

After a while, Tama with a serious expression suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, in my opinion, the man in black is very likely to be a member of the 'Blood Blade Legion'. ”

Dai's eyebrows condensed slightly, and Tang Xuexin hurriedly asked, "Uncle Tama, what is this Blood Blade Legion?"

Qin Tao on the side bent the corners of his mouth slightly, his fingers fiddling with the chopsticks on the edge of the plate, and listened with interest.

After a moment of silence, Tama confirmed that no one would eavesdrop on their location, and then spoke: "This Bloodblade Legion is one of the mysterious legions of the Vast Empire, specializing in very dangerous killing missions. The absence of pain after being injured is the most powerful trait of this legion, and they have relied on this to accomplish many dangerous tasks. ”

From the moment he heard the words Haoling Empire, Qin Tao's interest reached the extreme, these dozen or so black-clothed people were indeed sent by the Haoling Empire as he guessed, but he didn't expect that they belonged to a legion.

"Judging from the characteristics depicted by the young master, these men in black should be the Bloody Blade Legion, and they are the only ones who can take on such a task. It's just ......" Speaking of this, Tama suddenly paused, paused for a moment and continued: "It's just, how did they know Lu Tao's identity......

Tama's analysis immediately made Tang Xuexin's heart tremble, and what she didn't want to believe was gradually going to be confirmed. Bei Yan bit his thin lip lightly, and Tang Xuexin said, "Uncle Tama, in fact, I saw Si Qing in the morning......

Qin Tao crossed his arms, leaned on the wooden chair, and quietly listened to the conversation of several people beside him.

Fang Yu frowned, and asked as if in disbelief, "Luo Zhen's disciple Si Qing, Young Master, are you sure it's him?"

Heavenly Fire Demon Venerable Luo Zhen, one of the four demon envoys of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, definitely has a pivotal position in the sect, and his favorite disciple has become a traitor, which is difficult for anyone to believe.

Tang Xuexin nodded seriously: "Yes, it is indeed him, there will never be a fake." ”

For a moment, Fang Yu's face became solemn, and his expression was no better than that of Tama beside him. After being silent for a while, Fang Yu smashed the table with his fist, lowered his voice and said fiercely: "This kid is crazy." Besides, isn't it strange that he's so exposed as a traitor. ”

Fang Yu's words also made Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin who were present fall into deep thought, and for a while, the dinner table suddenly entered a dull atmosphere. Fang Yu's inference was true, if Si Qing was really a traitor, then how could he show his true face in front of Tang Xuexin, could he really go crazy as Fang Yu said?

Qin Tao touched his chin, looked at the ceiling above his head, and suddenly said, "Maybe he is already ready to die." ”

Tang Xuexin looked at Qin Tao in confusion and hurriedly asked, "You mean he did it on purpose?"

Lowering his head, Qin Tao looked at the girl beside him and said, "It's possible." There must be a big secret hidden behind this Si Qing, and his rebellion must have something to do with this secret. ”

Qin Tao's attitude was very resolute, as if he had seen through Si Qing, but Tang Xuexin and the three of them did believe what Qin Tao said.

Tama shook his head and said, "When Luo Zhen brought Si Qing back, he was still an infant baby, and he has rarely been separated from Luo Zhen for so many years, so it is unlikely that there is a secret. ”

Qin Tao knew that Tama was good at gathering intelligence, so his analysis of Si Qing at this moment was definitely not false at all, but he still asked the doubts in his heart: "Will Sect Master Tang Zhan know?"

"Father, you say...... Possibly, after all, as the head of a sect, there are many things that even I can't know. Tang Xuexin replied.

"If Si Qing really has a secret, then this secret is definitely a secret, and it will not be easily discovered. Tama analyzed.

Fang Yu, who has never spoken, said: "Maybe you can only start in the game." ”

The eyes of the three of them all turned to Fang Yu, and a look of surprise changed in their eyes, all asking for the answer they were looking forward to.

Fang Yu smiled faintly, set his eyes on Qin Tao, and said, "It's actually very simple. If Si Qing is really that mysterious person, then as long as Lu Tao wins him, I believe he will definitely show his true face on the spot. Don't forget, since the Vast Empire is willing to send the Blood Blade Legion, it will not spare other masters. ”

After listening to Fang Yu's words, the three of them felt that it was very reasonable, and Tang Xuexin and Tama even set their eyes on Qin Tao, seeing that the latter was uncomfortable for a while.

Scratching the back of his head with his right hand, Qin Tao looked at the three glances, stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Tang Xuexin slapped Qin Tao's thigh violently, and immediately shouted solemnly: "Be serious!" This time Qin Tao couldn't help but be startled, and even Tama and Fang Yu on the opposite side were taken aback, thinking that this young master, known as the "witch", was about to exert his might again.

However, the corners of Tang Xuexin's mouth curved in an instant, revealing a bright smile, and said to Qin Tao: "Take a championship back, do you hear?"

Although the words were gentle, they revealed a chilling coldness, which couldn't help but make Qin Tao shiver immediately. The title of "witch" is by no means in vain, and this gentle feeling is even more terrifying than the drinking order.

Saliva swallowed into his throat and made a grunt, Qin Tao clinged to the back of the chair and nodded tirelessly, his funny appearance made Fang Yu and Tama laugh in their hearts.

The thick ink of the night quickly rendered the sunset, and the sunset gradually dissipated and fell into the boundless horizon. The second floor of the Royal Smelting Society's backyard house is composed of comfortable and spacious single rooms, and Qin Tao is one of the tenants.

There was a soft knock on the door, Qin Tao patted Dong Dong who was lying on the soft mattress, and hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door. As he thought, Tang Xuexin stood quietly at the door, a pair of clear beautiful eyes flashing with a soft luster, and said to the owner of the room: "It's me." ”

At this moment, Tang Xuexin changed into her favorite purple top, with a free ponytail, and with boots and short boots, she had a sassy beauty.

The corners of his mouth bent slightly, Qin Tao took Tang Xuexin's jade hand, and immediately pulled the girl into the house and quickly closed the door.

Looking at Qin Tao in surprise, Tang Xuexin just wanted to ask but might as well be stopped by Qin Tao's boos, and then she saw the young man listening quietly by the door for a while, before she understood Qin Tao's intention just now.

After Qin Tao turned around, Tang Xuexin hurriedly asked, "Could it be that they will sneak here?"

The backyard of the association was full of elders, and it was definitely no less than the palace in terms of the strict surname of the guards, so Tang Xuexin didn't believe that people from enemy countries dared to come here.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Qin Tao just whispered, and then sat down at the round table in the center of the room.

Sitting down next to Qin Tao gently, the jade hand held the young man's thick arm, the curved eyelashes trembled slightly, Tang Xuexin said softly: "I believe you will win, but the enemy in the shadows makes me very worried, I am afraid that you will be injured." ”

Patting the girl's hand, Qin Tao grinned and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." It's not always a life of nine deaths, but I'm not still alive and well. ”

Tang Xuexin pursed her lips, a trace of sorrow flashed in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Luo Zhen regards Si Qing as his own, and he is even more devoted to him, I am afraid that Si Qing will have murderous intent on the day of the competition......"

Gently stroking the ponytail on the back of the girl's head, Qin Tao's eyes were as soft as water, and he said with a smile: "Look at my family's Xin'er, there are so many masters in the competition venue, where can he be arrogant with a soul." ”

Leaning his head on Qin Tao's shoulder, his jade hand fiddling with his hands full of experience, Tang Xuexin's heart was a little calm, and he whispered: "If you are fine, I will be fine." ”
