In the central square of Lingyuan City, a gorgeous fountain spews clear spring water, if you get closer, you will find that under the clear water surface, there are nine beasts with different forms of head carving, are looking up at their heads, and streams of clear water continue to spit out from the mouths of nine beasts, which also forms the operation of the fountain.

At this moment, it is the early morning of the day, most of the people have not eaten breakfast, some rich and noble families are even enjoying their dreams in the warm quilt, there are not a few figures in the square, there are a few old people walking around the square, but at the end of the year in such a cold weather, there are not so many healthy old people out of the activity, but in the corner of the square on the side, I saw a few young children playing a game of hide and seek.

"Xiaolan, can you see Miss?" On a teahouse on the east side of the square, Chu Shan'an sat at the window, watching the movement in the square, and asked another young man on the other side of the table, the young man was delicate, with a personable appearance, and a pair of bright eyes.

"No, Brother Xiong, the big martial arts field is opposite, just such a door, if Miss wants to sign up, she must go through this door, even if she uses the concealment ability of the Shadow Leopard, she can't escape our detection, after all, Miss's strength is not strong." Brother Xiong, why are you so nervous, I also asked a few friends to drink with me today......" Xiaolan looked at Chu Shan'an, who was staring closely at the Lingyuan City martial arts arena directly opposite the teahouse, and said babblingly.

"Don't think about it!" After listening to Xiaolan's previous words, Chu Shan'an did slowly relax his mood, but it wasn't until Xiaolan said the second half of the sentence that he interrupted, "If Miss doesn't show up today, you have to sit here for a day!" The patriarch's order has come down, and she has to be here all day long, and she is not allowed to sign up, today is the last day of the registration period, and after today, if Miss wants to participate in the competition, she will have to wait until next year. ”

"Why does the patriarch want to stop the young lady from participating in the competition, this is not a good opportunity to train the young lady?" Xiao Lan listened to Chu Shan'an's words, and felt a little resentful that she couldn't go out to drink, so she complained a little.

"Alas. Chu Shan'an listened to Xiaolan's complaint and sighed, "It's not that the patriarch doesn't want Miss to have more opportunities to exercise, it's just that Miss is more special, not like the two young masters, Miss has inherited the family's bloodline ability, if there is an accident and the housemother has died, the family's bloodline ability may be difficult to continue to pass on." “

"Okay, okay, Brother Xiong, I didn't mean that I didn't want to help the patriarch find Miss, I'm not here anymore, if Miss doesn't show up today, I won't leave, as long as Miss shows up, I will definitely bring her to the patriarch." Xiaolan took a sip of tea, glanced at the situation around the square, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes, and after taking a full view of the situation around the square, she turned her head again, "Brother Xiong, can you get something to eat, I haven't even had breakfast in the morning." ”

"Okay, you watch here, don't let Miss sneak in, I'll let the store get some food. Chu Shan'an listened to Xiaolan's words, and also felt that he was a little hungry, so he stood up and walked downstairs.

"Miss, Miss, Miss......" Xiaolan continued to turn her head to look out the window, dangling around none of the passers-by passing by, but not many people would enter the martial arts arena opposite, Xiaolan could only take a sip of tea from time to time in boredom, killing time.

He is a guard of the Yi family, and has a good relationship with Chu Shan'an, although his status in the Yi family is not high, but many times the Yi family needs him to deal with some things, but to be able to do a little bit of Heze, Xiaolan is also an excellent beast spirit master, standing out among the many guards, and this is also because his contract beast brings him a unique ability. Little Blue's contract beast is a rare species among alien beasts - owls.

The owl has a very high observation ability, although it is impossible to bring the owner the ability to fly, but when it comes to detection, long-range vision, etc., few foreign beasts can compare with its existence, but because of the absorption of aura, these abilities have not only been greatly improved, but also have a certain ability to detect some illusions or other effects with the ability to confuse.

"Hmm, does this person want to enter the martial arts arena, but it's just a man, the age is about the same as the young lady, it is estimated that he also came to sign up, and the clothes are quite good, I have basically seen the young master of the big family, which young master is this......" Xiaolan suddenly focused his attention on a figure who wanted to enter the martial arts arena, looking from a distance, although this person had long hair, but his face was completely the characteristics of a boy, Xiaolan just watched him enter the martial arts arena, muttered a few words, and continued to look for Yilin's shadow.

After a while, Chu Shanan walked up with a few plates of snacks in his hand, walked to the table and put down the plates, and kept complaining: "There are few people in the store in the morning, and the boss will watch the store alone, and it will take a long time to order something to eat." ”

"Haha, I'm sorry Brother Xiong. Xiaolan picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, and praised: "Well, this pastry is still quite delicious, and it seems that you still need a little real skill to open a store around here." ”

"Don't just eat it, maybe when the young lady uses the ability of the Shadow Leopard to sneak into the martial arts arena, it will be a little troublesome. Chu Shan'an also picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, and at the same time didn't forget to remind Xiaolan, "By the way, when I went down just now, did you see Miss?"

"Miss didn't see it, but I saw a long-haired boy walk in, looking at the outfit, the family conditions should be quite rich, it should be the young master of which family, but I haven't seen it. Xiaolan said vaguely as she ate the pastry.

At first, Chu Shan'an didn't particularly care about Xiaolan's words, but after listening to it, he gradually felt that something was wrong, as careful as he was, feeling that in addition to all kinds of awkwardness in Xiaolan's words, he suddenly raised his head and interrupted Xiaolan; "Wait, Xiaolan, let me ask you." ”

"Ah, what's wrong, Brother Xiong?" Xiaolan was a little stunned by Brother Xiong's sudden reaction, and there were still some pastries in her mouth that she didn't swallow.

"Xiaolan, you are here in Lingyuan City, all kinds of social relations are good, there shouldn't be a young master from a rich family who hasn't seen him, right?

was a little unable to react to Chu Shan'an's question, Xiaolan eased up a little, and after slowly digesting Chu Shan'an's question, he nodded and affirmed: "Yes, I saw him enter the martial arts arena alone, which young master should it be...... What's wrong, Brother Xiong?"

"How long have you been in?" Chu Shan'an stood up suddenly, looked at the door of the martial arts arena opposite the window, and asked.

"It's been a while, if you go in to sign up, the formalities should have been processed by this time. Xiaolan also finally realized that the matter was a little serious, although she still didn't know what was going on, she still stood up with Chu Shan'an, swallowed the pastry in her mouth, clapped her hands, and waited for Chu Shan'an's order.

"Hurry up, hopefully haven't found us yet, if we don't go through the main entrance, we're in trouble. Chu Shan'an grabbed Xiaolan's hand and ran down the stairs quickly, the stairs of the teahouse were stepped on with a bang, and he immediately rushed out of the gate of the teahouse and went straight to the martial arts arena of Lingyuan City opposite.

"Hey, isn't this the Chu housekeeper of the Yi family, why are you free to come here today, is there any young master and miss of the Yi family who are going to come to participate in the competition?" At the gate of the martial arts arena, a person who looked like a guard saw Chu Shan'an, came up to greet him enthusiastically, and looked at Xiao Lan behind him, although Xiao Lan was in his twenties this year, but his delicate face made him look a little young, and he immediately thought that this was the young master of the Yi family.

"Get out of the way, we have something urgent, don't get in the way!" Chu Shan'an saw the guards blocking the way, and immediately shouted, his status in the Yi family is not low, and the weight of the Yi family in Lingyuan City can be said to be under the Imperial Mansion of the Ten Thousand Beast Kingdom, only the remaining three families of the four major families can compare, so if Chu Shan'an walks sideways in Lingyuan City, not many people dare to stop him, even if he dares to stop, there is no strength, and Chu Shan'an's cultivation is not low.

After listening to Chu Shan'an's words, the guards didn't dare to do anything, and hurriedly got out of the way, but they also followed closely after Chu Shan'an and Xiaolan entered the door, if Chu Shan'an was here to make trouble, he didn't stop him, and he had to follow behind, if something happened, the responsibility couldn't be blamed entirely on him.

Chu Shanan is no stranger to this martial arts arena in Lingyuan City, and he is familiar with the hall not far from the martial arts arena to deal with many affairs such as registration for the competition conference, and as soon as he walked into the door, Chu Shanan looked around the hall, except for some staff, but he didn't see other figures at all.

Chu Shan immediately sank, grabbed a staff member, and asked, "May I ask if there was a young man dressed as a young master who came to sign up before? How long has you been walking, and what direction is you going?"

"Uh......" This person didn't seem to know Chu Shan'an, but Chu Shan'an's rough behavior still startled him, and he pointed out of the hall a little stumblingly, "After that person signed up, he said that he was going to the martial arts arena to have a look." ”

After listening to the staff's words, Chu Shan'an pondered for a while, and immediately made up his mind and said: "Xiaolan, you go to the door to stop him, if you see that young man, stop him immediately, even if you stop the wrong person, report my name and bring him to me, if he doesn't want to, he will forcibly stay, and I will go to the martial arts arena to have a look." ”

"Brother Xiong, do you mean ......" Xiaolan followed Chu Shan'an all the way, and finally understood something.

"Yes, that young master is likely to be pretended by Miss, and Miss should still have a few disguised masks in her hand. Chu Shan'an said: "I feel that Miss may have noticed us when she was at the door, I guess I will enter the martial arts arena when I leave the window, Miss, Miss, you are really cunning......
