"Why do you ask this?" asked the person in charge of registration, surprised.

Li Kun hurriedly pretended to explain casually: "It's nothing, it's just curiosity." I'm also a newcomer, but I just want to know about it. ”

The man didn't answer Li Kun immediately, and seemed to be quite embarrassed and hesitant.

Ning Zheng suddenly said, "Does this still need to be kept secret?"

The man obviously gave Ning Zheng a lot of face, and said, "There is nothing to keep secret." ”

Ning Zheng said indifferently: "Since this is the case, if he wants to know, tell him." ”

The man looked through the registration form and said to Li Kun: "There are only three people, in addition to the two of you, there is also a person named Chang Ying." ”

Chang Ying really participated in the Secret Realm Training Conference as a casual cultivator.

This was expected by Li Kun.

However, Li Kun asked this, not entirely to understand Chang Ying's movements, but mainly to go to the bottom of the Cloud Gate Sect. Because, in his mind, if someone from the Cloud Gate Sect infiltrated Xianluo Town like the Immortal Sect, it was very likely that he would appear as a rookie cultivator like Chang Ying, and he should not join other sects. Therefore, as long as you know which new cultivators are in this register, it is possible to lock in the target.

However, there were no other newcomers in the register. This was quite unexpected by Li Kun.

Of course, no one knew Li Kun's intentions, including Zhuo Feng. Zhuo Feng just thought that Li Kun was trying to confirm Chang Ying's movements.

For this reason, after learning that Chang Ying was indeed on the roster, and that he was going to participate in the cheats experience conference with him, Zhuo Feng was obviously quite uneasy.

At this time, the recruitment of the various sects in the hall had ended, and the scattered cultivators in the hall had gradually dispersed, and only a very small number of them stayed in between. Most of the departing cultivators went to the party, and they wanted to celebrate joining their favorite sect.

And those scattered cultivators wandering in the hall are like lonely souls, although some of them have decided not to join the sect, but when the sect really ends the recruitment work, and the door of the only chance is completely closed, they will inevitably be a little disappointed, and even some doubt whether their decision is really right.

Among them is Ning Zheng, the head of the First Scattered Cultivation Regiment, who was once in the limelight.

Ning Zheng looked at the empty hall, and his originally firm and arrogant eyes could not hide a faint sense of loneliness. He suddenly looked at Li Kun and Zhuo Feng and asked, "Do you want to go have a drink together?"

Li Kun and Zhuo Feng looked at each other, reached a tacit agreement, and politely rejected Ning Zheng.

Ning Zheng pretended to say goodbye freely.

Li Kun and Zhuo Feng watched Ning Zheng walk away, and they couldn't help but feel some strange emotions in their hearts.

Good times don't last long. The same is true of human circumstances. The world is unpredictable, and who knows what will happen tomorrow?

Li Kun picked up his mind slightly, he had no time to sigh about other people's state of mind, they still had a lot of their own things to deal with.

Li Kun and Zhuo Feng returned to their residence.

That night, there was nothing else to say.

Early the next morning, Li Kun and Zhuo Feng came to the service hall early to participate in the "training".

The two thought they were already early, but the service hall was already crowded. The day's events were repeated on the radio.

In the morning, Sun Qi, the titular protagonist of Xianluo Town, gave a speech for the event and announced the rules of the event. In the afternoon, each sect claimed its own named disciples, and held a separate adoption ceremony. The "training" meeting of the loose practitioners was also held independently in the afternoon at the same time as the adoption ceremonies of the various sects.

For today's event ceremony, the service hall was renovated overnight, and a platform of more than 100 square meters was built in the middle of the hall, and the platform was about more than one person high. The hall is divided into ten areas in a fan shape around the platform. In front of each area was a huge signboard with the names of the various sects. In turn, it is the Seven Star Sect, Liuyue Villa, Qingyang Palace, etc. There are a total of eight major sects, all of which are the number one sect in the Kunlun realm.

The ninth area, on the other hand, does not have a specific sect name, and the signboard reads "Other Sects and Families". It can be seen that in addition to the eight major sects that can be ranked first, there are also some small sects and some family forces who come to participate in the secret realm training conference. Because these forces were weak and the number of participants was small, the Service Department grouped them together in this ninth area.

The last area is the Loose Practitioner area.

From this point of view, the service department still hasn't forgotten the loose cultivators who have not joined the sect, and there is still a place for them.

At this time, Gongsun Qi had not yet arrived, and the various sects had not yet arrived. In addition to a large number of security personnel from the service department who maintain order in the hall, they are loose cultivators.

Although the ceremony of claiming the registered disciples was not held until the afternoon, those who had already joined the sect did not wait for the arrangement and consciously entered the corresponding sect area. I waited excitedly and apprehensively. Of course, they didn't dare to stand in front, but gathered in the back half of the area, consciously giving up the best position in front and leaving it to the main owner of the sect.

The scattered cultivators in the 10th region are different, there is no difference between them and they are scattered in the area.

Only then did Li Kun know that there were not many casual cultivators who had not joined the sect, although there were nearly three hundred, but compared to the number of casual cultivators who joined the various sects, it was simply pitiful. Because of this, it is more conspicuous in the entire hall.

Those casual cultivators who joined the sect all looked at these casual cultivators who had not joined the sect with monster-like eyes. Their eyes were a mixture of contempt and doubt. On the one hand, they were proud that they had joined the sect of their choice, and on the other hand, they were puzzled by those who had not joined the sect. Of course, when they thought that there was actually no threshold for them to join the sect, that sense of superiority disappeared inexplicably, and the eyes that looked at the scattered cultivators turned into confusion again, and even a trace of perverted hatred. Instead, they think to themselves.

Why should you be different from us?

The human heart is so strange!

Of course, Li Kun didn't have time to figure out the mood of others at this time, he was more focused on what kind of people he belonged to in the temporary scattered cultivation group.

Li Kun hurriedly glanced at it, of course, he basically didn't know it. Ning Zheng was there, but he didn't see Chang Ying's figure.

Obviously, Zhuo Feng was also searching for Chang Ying's figure, and he didn't see Chang Ying either.

The two looked at each other puzzled.

Zhuo Feng asked softly, "Why don't you see him?"

Li Kun said softly: "I guess I don't want to come so early." Now that he's already signed up, he should be able to participate. ”

Zhuo Feng nodded.

Li Kun knew Zhuo Feng's psychology, so he deliberately squeezed his hand and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, in the same temporary cultivation group, maybe there are rules, but he doesn't dare to act blatantly." We just need to guard against him doing something in the dark. Moreover, he is here for the Heavenly Rank Exercises, so he should not be aiming at us. ”

Although Li Kun's words were comforting Zhuo Feng, they were all reasonable.

Zhuo Feng thought that this was indeed the case, so he relaxed slightly.

The entire hall was full of noise, except for the tenth area, where the cultivators were located, which was unusually quiet, and everyone stood silently, barely talking to each other. This atmosphere is simply out of place and even a little weird compared to the lively atmosphere of the whole hall like a festival.

After about half an hour, the hall radio finally came with an exciting announcement-

"The city lord of Gongsun is here, please welcome you warmly!"

In the lobby, starting from the doorway, there is a wide passage leading to the platform, which is covered with a large red wool carpet for those who go to the platform. So it's particularly conspicuous.

As the announcement sounded, all the people in the hall turned their eyes to the door, and saw a tall old man in a dark robe, led by a beautiful woman, striding in. He was also followed by the head of the service department. Everyone is familiar with that beauty. It is the beautiful host who presides over the test of the loose cultivators.

The hall burst into neat applause and some excited cheers.

Li Kun and Zhuo Feng both saw Gongsun Qi for the first time.

This long-known character, although he is nearly sixty years old, has a majestic spirit, and a great aura. At a glance, he knew that his cultivation was not low, and he should not be much weaker than the deputy head of the Seven Star Sect, Yan Feitian. Originally, I heard that he was just a puppet of Xianluo Town, and besides, the various sects did not respect him as much as they did for the previous two city lords. But looking at his aura at this time, I can't see his decadent state at all, as if he is the real protagonist of today's host.

Li Kun was looking at Gongsun Qi, but heard Zhuo Feng ask softly: "On this occasion today, I don't know if the strong man from the service department will show up." ”

Li Kun was about to reply that he didn't know. But he suddenly saw Ning Zheng, and he didn't know when he came to them.

Ning Zheng said, "It shouldn't be." This ceremony will be held at the beginning of each Secret Realm Training Conference, and the presence of the City Lord Gongsun to give a speech is an indispensable procedural arrangement. In the past, there was no precedent for the appearance of the strong. ”

Li Kun and Zhuo Feng both greeted Ning Zheng and nodded in understanding.

"Still. Ning Zheng said again, "This time the situation is different from what I thought, and it is really difficult to say whether the strong man will come forward." ”

Li Kun said: "Whether he shows up or not, he must be paying attention." ”

Ning Zheng said: "Of course. ”

While speaking, Gongsun Qi, under the guidance and accompaniment of the beautiful host and the head of the service department, calmly climbed the high platform, proudly looking down at the scattered cultivators in the hall, his expression was like an invincible king. However, although the head of the service department behind him seemed to respect him a lot, there was a hint of disdain in his expression.
