There are eight entrances to this arena, which are distributed in four directions: south, east, west, and north.

Due to the special nature of today's conference, seven entrances have been sealed, leaving only the east entrance for people to enter and exit.

When I came to the east side of the stadium, Shanhe saw from a distance that there were two "ticket checking" men wearing suits and holding lists standing at the entrance, so they stepped forward to enter the stadium.

But as soon as he took two steps, his eyes were attracted by a strangely dressed woman.

This woman is not very old, with a slender figure, wearing a set of sportswear with blue edges on a gray background, and two pigtails on the top of her head, which looks quite cute.

But on such a hot day, she wore a large mask with cartoon patterns, and covered the part below her eyes tightly, which made people feel stuffy and hot just by looking at it.

In addition, similar to the mountains and rivers, she was also empty around her, standing alone in the corner of the wall on the right, constantly looking around, as if searching for something.

Seeing this, Shanhe first shook his head and smiled.

The heart said, I am not afraid of covering the prickly heat on such a hot day, is this girl here to be funny with a mask?

But it didn't take long for a trace of confusion to suddenly arise in Shanhe's eyes.

Because the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this woman was very similar to Qin Xiaodou who was thousands of miles away!

In addition to the similarity between the pigtails and the figure, even the movements and demeanors of looking around are so similar.

Ling Shanhe became suspicious on the spot: Could it be that there is really such a similar person in the world? Or is this person Qin Xiaodou himself?

Thinking of this, Shanhe immediately changed his route and secretly walked behind the woman.

Because he was just suspicious and uncertain, Shanhe didn't dare to recognize each other directly.

Instead, he came behind the woman and suddenly shouted "Qin Xiaodou", wanting to see the woman's reaction.

Hearing the sudden shout, the woman was visibly startled.

Hurriedly turned around, first looked at the strange man behind him, and then said with a suspicious expression:

"Who are you and how do you know my name?"

After hearing this, coupled with that familiar voice, Shanhe quickly confirmed the identity of this person - it was Qin Xiaodou without a doubt!

Seeing that Qin Xiaodou, who had been with him for several months, he couldn't recognize himself now, and he was very satisfied with the newly learned illusion technique, Shanhe. While laughing and shaking his head, he replied in a low voice:

"I'm Shanhe, don't you recognize me?"

After hearing the word "mountains and rivers", Qin Xiaodou immediately showed a surprised and confused expression.

He took a closer look at the man in front of him with short hair and mediocre appearance, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a passerby, and even pulled the other party's face with his hand, and finally said with a look of disbelief:

"You're talking nonsense! You are not Brother Shanhe at all, my Brother Shanhe is much more handsome than you. ”

"Xiaodou, it's really me! It was for fear of being recognized by the old thief of Han Yi, so he specially got it. If you don't believe me...... Come, follow me. ”

As he spoke, Shanhe pulled Qin Xiaodou quickly to a no-man's land, and changed back to his original appearance.

Seeing Shanhe's true body, Qin Xiaodou immediately showed an excited expression, and said with little stars in his eyes:

"Really, it's really you! Brother Shanhe, your disguise technique is too powerful, isn't it! You even deceived me?"

"Hehe, it's amazing, isn't it? This is called the illusion technique! In order to learn this technique, I have suffered a lot......" After shaking his head and sighing with emotion, he listened to the words of the mountains and rivers:

"Hey, why did you get here?"

confirmed the identity of Shanhe, and Xiaodou immediately took off his mask. Lowering his head slightly, he replied with a seemingly weak heart: "I, I...... It's coming, it's coming, it's coming......"

Seeing that Qin Xiaodou was spitting and spitting, and there was no response for a long time, Shanhe simply interrupted the other party and guessed:

"Aha! I know! You must be here to cheer me on, right?" After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reply, he saw Shanhe with a sincere smile and said to Xiaodou:

"Thank you Xiaodou, I'm really happy that you can come and cheer me on. But did you know that today's conference is not allowed to be entered, even if you come and wait? Speaking of this, he listened to Shanhe's voice, and then lowered his voice and continued:

"In addition, there are many disciples of Nangong Sect here. If someone recognizes you, they'll probably guess I'm here. So, so ...... To be on the safe side, hehe, you'd better not show up. ”

Shanhe's words are not alarmist, in order to find the traces of Shanhe, Han Yi arranged for many disciples to keep an eye on Qingsong City.

Among these disciples, many of them knew Qin Xiaodou and knew that she was a colleague of Shanhe.

If someone is present today, there is a real possibility that Xiaodou will be found, thus exposing the mountains and rivers.

That's why he suggested that Xiaodou should not show up later.

After hearing this, Qin Xiaodou quickly explained:

"Brother Shanhe, don't worry, it's because I thought of this that I have been wearing a mask all the time. In addition, when I left Qingsong, I was also very careful to make sure that no one was following me before I left. ”

"Oh, that's right! That's good, if no one sees it. ”

Seeing that Xiaodou had done all the precautions he should have done, and the other party was also kind, Shanhe didn't say anything more. Seeing that it was still early, he chatted with Xiaodou again.

But in the process of chatting, Shanhe can clearly feel that Xiaodou is often absent-minded, and he wanders away while talking, which makes Shanhe feel quite strange.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back, and asked with a concerned face:

"Xiaodou, is something wrong? Are you okay at home? Director...... It's all right, right? Why do I think you're weird today?"

"It's nothing! It's all right, I'm just, it's just ......."

Qin Xiaodou's eyes were lowered, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said:

"Alas, forget it, I won't lie to you! Brother Shanhe, in fact, I'm not here to cheer you up this time!"

"Didn't you cheer me on?" Hearing this, Shanhe suddenly felt a little puzzled.

If Xiaodou wasn't here to cheer him on, then what was she here for? Could it be that she knew other contestants?

Thinking of this, Shanhe blinked and asked with a confused expression:

"And who are you here to cheer for?"

But soon I saw Xiaodou shake his head again:

"I'm not here to cheer people on! I—I'm here for the selection meeting!"

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, Shanhe was instantly stunned, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his mouth was bigger than an egg.

After being stunned for three or five seconds, he came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and asked with a look of disbelief:

"Y-You're kidding, aren't you? Xiaodou, why did you come to the selection meeting?"

"I—I'm not joking!" Qin Xiaodou shook his head after hearing this, and said seriously:

"Brother Shanhe, I'm really here to participate in the selection meeting! Actually, on the day you left Qingsong, I had already thought about it. I also want to join the Xiuzhen Sect, practice my skills, and help you rescue Senior Sister!"
