Zhuge Chen opened his eyes and looked at the people around him in confusion, feeling that they were hateful for no reason. There was neither mountain rain nor demons around, maybe this was the most real world, he thought ramblingly.

A beautiful woman twisted her graceful figure and walked past him and sat beside him, reaching out to hand a teacup full of brewed tea. Zhuge Chen, who took the teacup, showed a kind smile, put it to his mouth and blew it.

There were shouts from the dueling arena under his feet, and the young man still dressed in white stretched out his head to look down, and happened to see the swords of the two young men colliding together, causing a tooth-aching squeak. He subconsciously covered his ears, a little puzzled how the people in the stands could be so excited, and how he could be here.

The beautiful woman who sat next to him tapped his arm lightly with her fingers, and when he turned his head, she took out a necklace and hung it around his neck and whispered something in his ear, but the environment was so noisy that he didn't hear a word.

Zhuge Chen smelled the lingering incense brought by the woman beside him, twitched his nose slightly, and continued to look at the dueling arena under his feet.

At this time, both of them in the dueling arena were not lightly injured, but the rules here did not allow them to stop fighting, and from the moment they stepped on the dueling arena, the end was already doomed, and at most only one person could walk out of the dueling arena. Even if they are exhausted, they can only squeeze their potential and continue to fight with their portable weapons.

The battle situation that had been stalemate changed drastically in the next moment, and one of the men suddenly burst out with a force, plunged his sword into the chest of the other at once, and then stumbled off the decisive platform with a long roar in the sky, and the surrounding audience erupted into a tsunami-like cry after a short silence.

Zhuge Chen's gaze swept over the already boiling audience, laughed silently, picked up a peach from the table and said vaguely while eating: "Xian'er, tell Ben Gongzi about it, why did the sword-wielding young man in the dueling arena suddenly kill the other one?"

The fairy who wrapped her fingertips around her drooping green silk pretended to think about it and replied, "I don't know, alas." ”

Zhuge Chen, who saw her careful thinking, put down the remaining half of the peaches in his hand, put his hand on the clear water flowing in front of him, washed it, and pulled the beautiful face of the fairy who looked like a nine-day fairy and said, "Tell the truth, otherwise this son will be angry." ”

Originally, Xian'er wanted to talk a few nonsense to fool the past, but she told the truth to Zhuge Chen's face: "In terms of strength, the young man with the sword is not as good as the one with the knife, but the one with the knife is a fool, and he doesn't understand the truth that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, so he died under the sword." ”

Zhuge Chen shook up his fluttering sleeves, lightly puffed his hands twice, and joked: "That's right, I can bring a girl with red sleeves and fragrance into a strategist with a high vision, and only this son can do it in this heaven, but I don't know if it's a tyrannical thing." ”

Xian'er echoed: "That is, Xian'er can have today's comfortable life is the credit of Gongzi." What's more, among the young generation in this heaven, there is only one son who has the strength to hold the bull's ear!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Chen squinted his eyes and glanced deeply at the higher heavens and said to himself: "This is not enough, in the eyes of those people, I am afraid that even I am just a sword-wielding young man who has been on the decisive field, and I can't escape the fate of being at their mercy." Is it true that in your eyes, all living beings are ants? It's really annoying to think about. ”

Xian'er didn't hear what Zhuge Chen said, and asked softly: "Childe, what did you say?"

"It's okay, tell the people outside, let them prepare a car, I'm going back to Zhuge House. He threw away the teacup that he had been holding in his left hand and scolded: "Then arrange for someone to ask the owner of this dueling arena, why the tea served to Ben Gongzi can be so unpalatable, and I am almost miserable." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left with the crowd, standing out from the crowd.

......

Zhuge Chen, who woke up from the bed, looked at the roof above his head and found that he had a dream, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to himself in his heart that he still couldn't forget the previous days and sat up.

It didn't matter if he sat down, but the wound on his body suddenly collapsed, and suddenly the bedding was stained red. A few maids waiting outside the door heard the movement inside and pushed the door and ran in, just in time to see the naked Zhuge Chen taking the hemostatic cream on the table and smearing it on his body. A few maids who had never seen a man's ketone body since they were born had never seen such a scene, and they all covered their flushed cheeks and turned away from looking at the naked Zhuge Chen.

The maid with pigtails in the lead said nervously: "Childe, you better hurry up and get dressed, otherwise how can we serve you." ”

Zhuge Chen agreed, and he didn't care about the pain, so he grabbed a loose white coat out of thin air and put it on: "You guys go back, I'm done." ”

Several maids turned their heads tremblingly, and seeing that Zhuge Chen, who was dressed on, naturally did not have the shyness he had before, and hurriedly brought refreshments and fruits and put them on the table next to the bed.

Zhuge Chen, who was a little hungry, reached out and picked up a piece of delicate dim sum, and asked while eating: "Where is this, and how did I fall asleep naked on the bed?"

The maid with pigtails didn't dare to snub the distinguished guest in the mouth of this young lady, and hurriedly replied: "This is the residence of the Wang family on the border, and it is also the place where Dazhu Guo lived when he inspected the southern border. As for your questions, we can't answer them, we really don't know, and I hope you don't get angry. ”

After saying this, she didn't dare to breathe, for fear that her answer would cause dissatisfaction among the distinguished guests. She knew how cruel these guests were, and that the other maid with whom she had the best relationship a few days ago had died at the hands of a distinguished guest, and the tragic death still lingered in her mind. Now she is afraid that she will inadvertently annoy the distinguished guests and end up in the same miserable end.

Coincidentally, the hungry Zhuge Chen couldn't help coughing because he was a little anxious to eat, and the maid who was frightened like a frightened bird sat on her knees and cried. Zhuge Chen, who didn't know what was going on, hurriedly put down the refreshments that were about to be put into his mouth, picked up the maid who was crying and comforted softly: "Is there anything sad about it?" Say it, it's much easier to say it." ”

The maid stepped back and stood up as if pricked by a needle, and looked at the handsome man in front of her with courage, not daring to speak, but sobbing quietly.

The helpless Zhuge Chen picked up a clean handkerchief on the table to wipe away the tears on the maid's face, and joked: "I've wiped it clean for you, don't cry anymore, there are not many girls who can let me wipe my tears." ”

The pigtailed maid burst into tears and laughed, but she felt out of proportion, and quickly stood aside and said, "Childe, if you have any requests, just say it, there have been a few of us waiting outside the door." If it's okay, we'll step back first, and Miss has told her to tell her as soon as you wake up. ”

Zhuge Chen sighed, sat slowly on the bed, turned his back to the maids, unbuttoned them in turn, and applied ointment to stop bleeding. Only when the maids gently closed the door did the young man turn around and sit in a comfortable way, and threw the ointment in the white jade bottle on the table casually.

So far, he still doesn't know what kind of medicine the Wang family's gourd wants to sell, doesn't he want him, a kid who can kill the big demon with good luck, to be a son-in-law? Zhuge Chen shook his head, not thinking that the Wang family, which is in the middle of the day, can do such a shameful thing.

Wang Dazhu was born in the military and has made countless military exploits, and the most rare thing is that he has won the favor of the Great Yan Sage. Although there has been no partial care for the Wang family for so many years, for such a behemoth, letting it go is the best care. From this point, we can see how suitable the Great Pillar Kingdom is with that holy king.

But after all, these incense hidden in the hearts of the two of them can't last in the hearts of the next generation, and the next emperor can't do the thing that any emperor can do well. The only way is to marry the little girl Wang Ruojia to the crown prince, that is, the future emperor, so that he can safely pass on the incense of this generation to his children and grandchildren.

Zhuge Chen, who had a thorough understanding of these officialdom principles, naturally understood such a dishonorable thing, so he was not so annoyed when he saw the little girl on the second floor of the Liangwangfeng Rain Shelter. After all, the other party is also a poor person, and Zhuge Chen really has no way to sprinkle his anger on such an innocent little girl.

Zhuge Chen closed his eyes and thought endlessly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the two of them pushing the door and walking in. The first was Wang Ruojia, who looked excited, followed by a middle-aged man whom Zhuge Chen had never met.

The young man's gaze passed over the two of them and looked at the middle-aged man with a lofty spirit. The eyes of the two met in the air, and neither of them would look away first. But the middle-aged man found a step down by himself: "You are Zhuge Chen, you are really a hero from ancient times! The big demon who can use the blade of the realm of good luck at such a young age will definitely point out the characters of the world in the future." ”

Zhuge Chen pretended to smile shyly, waved his hand modestly and said: "Where is it, in a family with such a deep background as the Wang family, the little boy in a family who is so profound that he is a Shunyun immortal does not dare to be cheeky and say anything to guide the world, but I don't know what is the purpose of you inviting me here?"

The middle-aged man was the third master who had come to the rain shelter to fight against the big demon, and at this time, his pupils contracted, and he couldn't guess how the man in white in front of him saw through his cultivation. You must know that he not only deliberately restrained his aura, but also specifically suppressed his cultivation, for fear of making the young man feel uncomfortable and refusing the request of the entire Wang family.

Wang Ruojia saw that the scene was so tense, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Originally, it should have been us who met that big demon, but you were injured because of it, if this is the case, if our Wang family doesn't express it, won't it become the laughing stock of others?" Besides, the Wang family really wants to ask you for help, so they privately decided to take you to the palace on the border to recuperate, so don't be angry because of it, okay?"

Zhuge Chen couldn't stand the little girl's coquettish appearance, stretched out his hand to stop and said: "I'm not angry, instead of dwelling on this, it's better to say what you want me to help." However, I am only a small monk, and I may have some potential, but I can't do anything that even your royal family can't do. ”

Wang Ruojia didn't expect Zhuge Chen to refuse so simply, and glanced at the third master for help. The third master took out a piece of broken porcelain from his coat pocket and stretched it out to Zhuge Chen's eyes and asked, "Have you ever seen this, or something similar to it." ”

Zhuge Chen, who took the broken porcelain piece, took it to the sun, turned it over and looked at it a few times, and shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

The third master continued to ask, "Then have you ever heard of the Ten Thousand Races Meeting?"

Zhuge Chen shook his head again and replied nonchalantly: "I am an idle cultivator with no family, how could I have heard of such a thing as the Ten Thousand Clans." ”

Having said that, the third master finally got straight to the point and said: "The request of the Wang family is to let Zhuge Gongzi replace one of the Wang family to participate in this session of the Ten Thousand Clans Meeting. ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Chen walked in front of the third master, squinted his eyes and looked down at the third master who was a head shorter than him, and said in a questioning tone: "Wanzu Hui, what is that?"

The third master opened his mouth and said: "The Ten Thousand Clans Association is the time when the major families compete for rankings, and the reason why it is called the Ten Thousand Clans Association is to describe that there are too many families participating. There are not only the families of emperors and generals, but also the participation of the cultivation sect, which can be said to be an unprecedented event. And for the sake of fairness, there is another criterion, that is, the candidates sent by each family cannot be more than twenty-five years old, so the Ten Thousand Clans will also be a contest between the younger generation. Therefore, in the end, not only the ranking of the family will be ranked, but also the ranking of the younger generation. ”

After hearing this, Zhuge Chen asked: "That's all, there is no reward or anything?"

The third master looked at Zhuge Chen's expectant eyes, and suddenly felt that he couldn't guess this young man at all, so he could only say helplessly: "Of course there is, but only those with extremely high rankings have a chance to get it." The top 10 can directly enter one of the four major academies, the top 3 can get a chance to compete for empowerment based on their understanding, and only the top 10 can get the highest reward. This year's reward seems to be the Infinite Lotus of Bitter Sea Academy, although it is a little worse than the previous two years, but it can be regarded as a good reward. ”

"Wuyalian?" Zhuge Chen muttered in a low voice, and then said to the two of them, "It seems that I really want to agree to your request." When will the Ten Thousand Races start, and where will it be held? If it's still a long time before it starts, I'd like to leave for a while to do something. ”

The third master didn't expect the young man to agree so well, but he was naturally happy to see it. After thinking about it carefully, he opened his mouth and said, "It's probably going to start next month, so it's better for Gongzi Zhuge to stay in the house for a while." As for the Wanzu Meeting, this session should be held in the capital city of Dashang, and you can just stop by to do something. ”

Zhuge Chen nodded, thinking that this was fine, so he agreed.

Wang Ruojia on the side looked at the young man's indifferent appearance and couldn't help asking, "With so many geniuses gathered together, are you confident of winning the ranking?"

Zhuge Chen smiled: "Since you have chosen me, you should believe me, what about geniuses? You haven't heard the truth that all living beings are ants?"

Wang Ruojia rolled his eyes, didn't look at the white-clothed young man sitting on the side and didn't have a straight shape, and snorted coldly: "According to you, aren't you also one of the many ants?"

"How come?" Zhuge Chen said with a grin: "I am not one of the sentient beings. ”

After saying that, he gave the order to evict the guests in the stunned eyes of the Wang family, and then unbuttoned the robe as if no one was around, and lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
