Seeing the urgency of Shanhe's face, Lu Guozhong informed Shanhe of the information he obtained without concealment.

It turned out that Shanhe was also in a good time this time.

Five days later, it happened to be the annual secular disciple selection conference of Nangong Gate.

As long as they pass the corresponding test during the conference, the contestants can become official disciples of Nangong Gate. For Shanhe, it is indeed a rare opportunity.

So after learning about this, Lu Guozhong helped Shanhe win a qualification for the competition.

"Oh, it turned out to be the selection meeting of Nangong Gate, it sounds quite lively......" Shanhe, who listened to the explanation, nodded understandingly, and then asked:

"Hey, director, will there be a lot of people going there?

"Of course not!"

Without waiting for Lu Guozhong to speak, he heard Qin Xiaodou jump out and say, "You think it's a singing competition, it's so easy to participate?"

"Uh, it wasn't ......" Seeing that he had guessed wrong, Shanhe hurriedly scratched his head and said:

"Hehe, I really don't know much about the sect, what kind of participation method is that?"

"First of all, the so-called selection meeting is actually a very confidential matter, not the kind of lively event you imagined. If you don't know the people of Nangong Gate, you can't know at all. Xiaodou explained with a serious face:

"Secondly, the people who can participate in the selection are either from secular families that have a cooperative relationship with Nangongmen, or they are recommended by insiders. It can be said that each has a great background, and it is by no means just anyone who can participate. Therefore, it is not easy to get a qualification. ”

"Oh, I see! I misunderstood. He smiled apologetically, and after thanking Lu Guozhong again for this, Shanhe continued to ask:

"Are there a lot of people participating in the tryouts? How many people do they take?"

"Well...... I don't know very well. Lu Guozhong shook his head, frowned and replied:

"But as far as I can tell, there aren't too many people, no more than a hundred. But what about the probability of being selected...... It's definitely not that high, and the competition is still fierce. ”

Seeing that Shanhe had a worried look on his face after hearing this, Lu Guozhong comforted him:

"However, judging by your strength, there should be no problem. After all, most of your competitors are from the secular world. Your cultivation is not low, and your advantages are obvious, don't worry!"

After hearing the director's words, Shanhe just smiled awkwardly.

Regarding his demotion and demotion of others, Lu Guozhong did not know.

In his impression, Shanhe was still the strength of the ninth layer of the Mengjie more than a month ago, so he was not worried that Shanhe would lose the election.

But what about the actual situation, today's mountains and rivers only have the cultivation of the third layer of the Meng Rank, which is one level lower than that of Old Man Bai.

If he really wants to compete, he has absolutely no advantage at all.

If you meet a guy with the strength of Bai Shuai, you can knock him out, and the future is precarious.

However, in order not to let Xiaodou and Lu Guozhong worry about themselves, after thinking twice, Shanhe still chose to keep his mouth shut and hide the matter.

"By the way, the items of the tryouts...... What are they?"

Hearing Shanhe ask about this, Qin Xiaodou replied first:

There are many kinds of competitions, including those that test talents, those that detect cultivation, those that test one's ability, those that test one's temperament, those that test one's temperament...... There are at least thirty or forty of them. ”

"Ah, so much, isn't it going to take a few days to compare them all?" said Shanhe with a look of surprise.

"That's not it! Although there are many types, it doesn't mean that they will all take the test!" Xiaodou shook his head and explained:

"Every year, there are at most three or four tests. In addition to cultivation and talent, which are required questions, other items depend on the mood of the examiner. It's different every year, and no one knows about it before the game. The specifics will only be known when you get to the arena. ”

"Oh, I see, I see. After nodding brightly, Shanhe's face suddenly had a trace of confusion, and he looked at Xiaodou with a little puzzlement, and looked at it for a long time before saying:

"Xiaodou, you're not a cultivator, and you haven't been to a sect, where did you hear about these things?"

"Ahh......h

was asked by Shanhe like this, Qin Xiaodou immediately panicked. frowned and squeezed his eyes again, and Zhiwu replied for a long time:

"Yes, Uncle Rue told me! Yes, he told me!"

"Really?" Hearing this, Shanhe said in disbelief: "When did he tell you, why don't I know?"

"He's, he's last night...... Oh no! That's what you told me just now! Yes, you told me when you didn't come just now! If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Lu!" Xiaodou gave Lu Guozhong a look as he spoke, meaning that he should hurry up and help.

Seeing this, Lu Guozhong had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, but he said helpfully:

"That's right, that's what I told Shodoi. You didn't come just now, and you were idle, so I told her about these things in advance. ”

"Oh, you told her? I misunderstood, hehe. I just thought that Xiaodou also knew people from the Xiuzhen Sect. I'm sorry, Azuki!"

With Lu Guozhong testifying for Xiaodou, Shanhe dispelled his doubts on the spot, and after laughing, he diverted the topic and discussed other matters with Lu Guozhong.

......

About an hour later, the food on the table was eaten.

Don't look at the fact that they ordered more than ten dishes today, but as long as there are mountains and rivers, there is no possibility of leftovers.

After paying the bill and repeatedly confirming the time, place and participation details of the Nangongmen selection meeting with the director, Shanhe took the lead in leaving the hotel.

Before leaving, when I thought of this farewell, I didn't know when I would be able to meet, and Shanhe's heart was actually full of taste.

Therefore, in addition to thanking them again, he also took turns hugging and saying goodbye to the two.

Then, with slightly reddened eyes, he left the hotel.

From this point alone, it is enough to see that the relationship between Shanhe and these two people is still quite deep.

After the mountains and rivers left, Lu Guozhong and Qin Xiaodou had no intention of leaving.

Instead, he asked for another pot of tea, filled the teacup, and sat in the private room and chatted.

"Xiaodou, why do I feel that something is wrong with you today?"

"Me?" Qin Xiaodou replied indifferently while blowing on the teacup: "What's wrong with me?"

"The mountains and rivers are gone, and they won't come back for three or five years. When he said goodbye just now, even he showed reluctance, but you ......" Speaking of this, Lu Guozhong carefully looked at Qin Xiaodou with an indifferent face in front of him, and hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"But you...... How can it be so peaceful?"
