Chapter 490: Best New Talent
On the rostrum, Shanhe didn't know that someone in the audience was calculating himself.
When he walked to the podium, the smile on his face was still slightly stiff. In the high-profile environment, Shanhe is still a little uncomfortable.
Due to the excessively warm applause before, Yuan Songxi, who was reading out the list of winners, also paused for a moment. After the applause from the audience fell, he continued to read:
"Okay! Then I will continue to read out this year's Best New Talent Award...... In addition to Fan Guangxian, Liu Kun and San Ke who were read just now, the fourth place is Dou Xiaoqin from the Spring Palace!"
As soon as this name came out, Shanhe's face immediately showed an unconcealable joy.
At the same time, the disciples of the Spring Palace, who were sitting in the east of the auditorium, instantly burst into warm applause and invited this little junior sister with pigtails and a floral dress to the rostrum.
Taking the stage to accept the award on such an occasion is also an unprecedented experience for Qin Xiaodou. When she took the stage, she had an embarrassed smile on her face.
Fortunately, there was her most trusted brother Shanhe on the stage, and after coming to Shanhe's side and smiling, Xiaodou breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, I heard Yuan Songxi continue to read the list again:
The last winner of the Best New Talent Award was...... White dew from the Autumn Palace!"
As before, as soon as the word Bai Lu came out, the camp of the Autumn Palace located on the west side of the auditorium immediately burst into continuous applause.
Bai Lu, who was wearing a white slim-fitting suit, walked quickly to the stage with her proud and sexy steps.
"She, she, she...... How could she be on the mountain?" Seeing the woman's familiar appearance, Qin Xiaodou was so surprised that he couldn't even speak, and asked Shanhe in a low voice:
"Brother Sanke, do you, do you know this?"
Regarding Bai Lu's incident on the mountain, Shanhe not only knew, but also met once before.
But due to his several meetings with Xiaodou, the time was too tight, and he never had a chance to tell the other party.
In addition, Qin Xiaodou himself usually doesn't go out much, and is locked in the house by his master every day to practice, so it wasn't until now that Qin Xiaodou learned that Bai Lu was also in the Nangong Gate.
"Oh, I just found out about it. She seems to be looking for Han Yi to go up the mountain through a special channel, and I don't know what the specific situation is. I was going to tell you, but when we met, time was too tight, so I didn't have time to talk about it. Shanhe replied in a low voice.
"Hmph! This bad woman is actually on the mountain! Look at me if I don't teach her a good lesson today! Brother Sanke, you can't stop me this time!"
As soon as he remembered that it was this person who caused Shanxue to be arrested, and Shanhe was almost killed, Qin Xiaodou was on fire, and his face instantly became gloomy. Hearing this, Shanhe immediately dissuaded:
"Xiaodou, don't do it! If you make such a fuss, our identities will be exposed. Han Yi is sitting in the audience, you must hold back!"
Hearing Shanhe say this, Qin Xiaodou remembered that they were carrying out the latent plan, so he had to dispel the idea of "cleaning up" Bai Lu, but he still refused to let go and said:
"Well, I'll spare her once today. But next time I run into her, I'll have to fix her. ā
"Oh, not next time. Shanhe shook his head and admonished: "Let's try not to intersect with her, just pretend not to know her." The more you provoke her, the easier it will be to expose our identities......"
Just as Shan and Qin were muttering quietly, Bai Lu had already stepped on the pair of white high heels and walked to the side of the two of them.
Maybe it was because Shanhe and Xiaodou were wearing worldly clothes, and after walking to the medal seat, Bai Lu deliberately glanced at the two of them, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
When his gaze swept over Shanhe's face, Bai Lu did not show any special expression.
Although they had met by chance on the streets of the market before, because Shanhe's appearance was too mediocre, she didn't leave any impression on Bai Lu at that time, so she didn't remember this "Sanke".
But when Bai Lu saw Qin Xiaodou who bowed her head and was silent, especially after seeing the iconic pigtails, she subconsciously said "Huh" in her mouth.
Since Qin Xiaodou has not learned the disguise technique, she has not changed her appearance like mountains and rivers, but has only been "fine-tuned" by mountains and rivers with illusion techniques, so her appearance has not changed much.
In addition, Qin Xiaodou kept his head down, Bai Lu couldn't observe carefully, and when he looked at this person with big eyes, he was exactly the same as Qin Xiaodou under the mountain, so he attracted Bai Lu's attention.
After hearing this "huh", Qin Xiaodou also guessed that Bai Lu might have recognized him.
In order to interfere with the other party's judgment, she immediately raised her head, held her throat and said in an extremely low timbre:
"What's the matter? This senior sister, is there something wrong with me?"
When Qin Xiaodou raised his head and showed all the fine-tuned facial features, Bai Lu quickly realized that he had recognized the wrong person.
Although the two look very similar, she is sure that Xiaodou's facial features are still a little different from this person. In addition, the voice was not quite right, and Bai Lu immediately showed an apologetic look:
"I'm sorry, IāI just recognized the wrong person. You look very much like a friend of mine. ā
Hearing the word "friend", Qin Xiaodou was almost disgusted to death.
Xin said, this Bai Lu dared to say that she was her friend, and she was really embarrassed to say it!
But he replied with a smile: "Oh? Then I'm really honored! I met Senior Sister Bai Lu in Xia Dou Xiaoqin." ā
Although Yuan Songxi had read Xiaodou's name before, Bai Lu, who was indifferent to the award, did not listen carefully. It wasn't until now, after listening to the other party's introduction, that she took a serious note.
"Oh, what a coincidence! My friend who loves pigtails also has a 'little' in his name, hehe. After smiling slightly, Bai Lu suddenly remembered something, frowned and said:
"Oh, no! Not only is there a 'small' character identical, but there is also a 'bean' character in her name, and even the word 'qin' seems to be ......."
Listening to Bai Lu, he was almost about to reveal the mystery of his name, and the mountains and rivers standing on the side were really nervous!
Once Xiaodou's identity is seen through by Bai Lu, then he will definitely have no good fruit to eat, so he hurriedly turned his head and interrupted:
"Shhhh ā
Hearing Shanhe say this, Bai Lu and Xiaodou nodded apologetically and closed their mouths.
Due to his weak heart, Qin Xiaodou kept his head down and didn't say a word.
And Bai Lu on the side would sneak a glance at Xiaodou from time to time, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, it was obvious that she had a lot of questions in her heart.
But fortunately, it didn't take long for the award ceremony to officially begin.
The head Nangong Chi awarded the golden medals to the winning members one by one, and the strange atmosphere just now was also dispelled a lot.
After awarding the award to Shanhe, I saw Nangong Chi suddenly grabbed Shanhe's arm, and whispered with a smile:
"Didn't you expect you to be quite popular among the secular disciples?
