There were a lot of people who came to apply, and there was already a long queue in front of the palace, Qin Tao glanced at the gate of the palace that was boundless, and couldn't help but sigh quietly.

The innkeeper glanced at it, then whispered to Qin Tao, "What is your technique at controlling the flames?"

Hearing this, Qin Tao couldn't help but pursed the corners of his mouth helplessly, secretly thinking in his heart that this old man had pulled himself over without asking.

Seeing Qin Tao showing a trace of helplessness, the old man immediately followed: "If you really have confidence, then I will absolutely believe in you!"

Qin Tao secretly sighed in his heart, but seeing the old man's righteous words, he didn't complain too much in his heart, but just nodded firmly at the old man.

The old man's eyes released a light of hope, and he immediately said, "That's easy, you come with me!" As he spoke, he pulled Qin Tao towards the east courtyard wall of the palace.

"Aren't you queuing up?" Qin Tao asked curiously, but his arm was pulled by the old man's extremely powerful hand, and he couldn't break free.

When they were young, the two came to a side gate, which was very small and partial, and it was not as grand as the courtyard gate, and it looked like a place where the people of the palace usually walked.

"Could it be that this old man has a friendship with the people in the palace?" Qin Tao thought secretly.

At this time, the old man handed over a golden medal and a somewhat old wooden plaque, and said, "The golden medal is for emergencies, and this wooden plaque can allow you to reach the selection venue smoothly." ”

"This ......" Qin Tao couldn't help but hesitate, but after seeing the old man's determined expression. He resolutely picked up the medal and the wooden plaque and walked into the wooden door.

Qin Tao didn't look back, he kept walking, and just after he entered. The old man disappeared in an instant.

Naturally, the palace was heavily guarded, and some of the subordinates were even quite powerful cultivators, and for Qin Tao, an uninvited guest, even the lowest-ranking subordinates had to interrogate a few words.

However, when they saw the wooden card in Qin Tao's hand, they stopped asking questions, saluted Qin Tao respectfully, and then left quickly.

Qin Tao looked at the wooden card in his hand. There was nothing special about it except for the strange inscription of the word "kill" on it, and those subordinates showed an extraordinary attitude when they saw it. It's a bit puzzling.

"Could it be that the old man has a relationship with a big man in the palace?" Qin Tao's suspicions deepened.

The wooden plaque can not only make the subordinates show respect, but also make the guards of the palace obey. After a man in armor saluted, Qin Tao immediately inquired about the venue for selection.

Under the guidance of the guard man, Qin Tao successfully came to the selection venue.

At this time, there were only two people standing in the venue. Facing away from Qin Tao was a man in white. Long black hair poured down like a waterfall, completely covering his face. Opposite the man in white, standing was a richly dressed and boyish young man, who was smiling at the man in white, his eyes were full of a very confident luster.

The guard walked quickly to the man in white and whispered a few words respectfully, and then the man in white turned around.

Turning around, Qin Tao only felt a breeze blowing on his face. The man's handsome face, which is enough to overwhelm thousands of sentient beings, is revealed in this spring breeze, and even a man will inevitably praise it after seeing this face.

And. Qin Tao also smelled an extremely strong smell in the man's breath, which was a kind of arrogance that only made people look up to like Ling standing on the top of the mountain.

When Qin Tao was stunned, the man in white smiled faintly: "Since you are Yun Ye's friend, then you don't need to ask more, just stand up." ”

The guard man lowered his head and glanced at Qin Tao, and found that the latter was still in a daze, so he immediately walked over and touched Qin Tao's arm hard, and whispered, "My lord let you go." ”

Qin Tao's body trembled, and he came back to his senses and smiled at the man in white, and then still a little confused, walked to the side of the boy and stood still.

The young man shook his folding fan, glanced at the guy who could only "go through the back door", and then gently spewed a trace of disdain from his nostrils.

"Go down. The man in white commanded the guard.

The guard man bowed deeply to the man in white, then nodded to Qin Tao, and then left the selection venue backwards.

After the guards left, only the man in white, Qin Tao and the young man were left in the venue, and since there didn't seem to be much to talk about between them, the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

The man in white kept looking at Qin Tao, and the corners of his mouth showed some shallow smiles from time to time. And the young man had a look of disdain on his face, and he never looked at Qin Tao squarely.

After being watched for a long time, Qin Tao was a little uncomfortable, moved his body, and suddenly asked the man in white: "I want to ask who you are, and who is the Yun Ye in your mouth?"

As soon as these words came out, it immediately attracted the endless contempt and contempt of the young man, and the folding fan in his hand snapped together, but then it was opened and fanned vigorously.

The man in white still smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Yun Ye didn't tell you, no wonder, this has always been his style." ”

"Little brother, my name is Ouyang Kuo, and I am the king's subordinate. And that Yun Ye, his full name is Yun Shuihan, I think you should have met him in his inn. The man in white still smiled.

"You are a subordinate of the King of the Sea Killer, so that means you are his retainer?" Qin Tao asked in surprise.

The same can be said. The man in white smiled and nodded.

"Ah......" Qin Tao looked at the young man beside him and said, "That means that I directly passed the preliminary selection......"

At this time, the young man finally couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately closed the folding fan and interrupted: "I said brother, where did you get so many questions, don't think that you can be casual if you were introduced by Lord Yun, but you can't be casual here." ”

There was obviously a smell of gunpowder in the young man's words, Qin Tao could only pretend not to hear it, after all, he still wanted to figure out some things here.

Ouyang Kuo ignored the young man, and said to Qin Tao with a smile: "As for Yun Ye's identity, let's wait for him to tell you himself." As for you, because of Yun Ye's recommendation, you can skip the preliminary review and re-examination and go directly to the final review. ”

"Final review?!" Qin Tao exclaimed in disbelief.

"Boy, you still don't believe it, let me tell you, you and I, there should be another one, who is about to face the personal selection of the King of the Sea Killing, which is something that no one can dream of. The young man interjected.

Probably understood, Qin Tao kept silent, but he was still thinking in his heart that he would go to the innkeeper to ask for clarification after leaving the palace.

At sunset on the first day, there was still no third person who passed the review, Ouyang Kuo said to Qin Tao and the son: "It seems that there is no third person to choose today, so let's wronged the two of you to stay in the guest house of the palace for one night." ”

The young man immediately owed a debt and said, "My lord is polite, it is already a blessing to be able to live in the guest house of the palace, how can I feel wronged." ”

"What about you?" Ouyang Kuo looked at Qin Tao.

Qin Tao stretched his waist, yawned casually, and said, "That's the only way to go......"

"Okay, I'll arrange for the next person to set up the room for the two of you immediately. After speaking, Ouyang Kuo arched his hand to the two of them, and disappeared in place in an instant.

Qin Tao and the young man were arranged in different guest houses, and they were far apart, I don't know if it was a coincidence or Ouyang Kuo's intention. However, Qin Tao didn't care where he lived.

Because he was in the territory of the King of the Sea, Qin Tao dispelled the idea of cultivating, and when he had nothing to do at night, Qin Tao lay on the bed and thought about the relationship between the "Yun Ye" in Ouyang Kuo's mouth and the innkeeper.

However, after thinking about it, almost all the possibilities of the two appeared in Qin Tao's mind, but neither of them could be completely convinced. So, Qin Tao simply stopped thinking about it, picked up the sleeping Dongdong and fell asleep.

In the dream, Qin Tao saw Tang Xuexin, as well as Ai Rui and Ling Shan, as well as their separate partners, and dreamed of the days when he was together with them.

The sweetness of the dream made Qin Tao, who was asleep, show a sweet smile, but just when all the lines of defense were at their lowest, danger would quietly appear beside him...... (To be continued......)
