Palace Lord questioned, “Who do you want to kill?”
Ling Yin shrank her neck resentfully.
Su Xiaoxiao understood and said, “In that case, we might go against the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance in the first round.”
“It doesn’t match!” Ling Yin said.
“Why?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Lu Aotian said, “The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance was the champion of the last martial arts compet.i.tion. Their disciples can directly advance to the second round.”
Ling Yin added, “They’re like this every year!”
“Is the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance that powerful?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mother Palace Lord.
The Palace Lord sighed. “In the past twenty years, no one has s.n.a.t.c.hed their number one spot.”
Ling Yin clenched her fists and said, “Palace Lord, that’s because our Hundred Flowers Palace didn’t partic.i.p.ate. This time, we will definitely s.n.a.t.c.h the first place!”
Palace Lord said readily, “Alright, I’ll count you in.”
Ling Yin said, “Palace Lord, I was wrong.”
The candidates for the martial arts compet.i.tion really could not go just because they wanted to. They had to be extremely careful.
Blades had no eyes. Everyone who went up had signed a life and death contract.
Wei Ting said, “Mother, I’ll go.”
Wei Xu thought it was feasible.
“Count me in,” Su Mo said.
In the few months that Su Mo followed Qin Canglan, he had experienced countless battles.
Every time he fought to the limit, coupled with Qin Canglan’s precise guidance, his improvement could be said to be rapid.
“Mo’er can’t go.”
The Palace Lord said, “In order to prevent the various sects from cheating, the person who partic.i.p.ates has to be a disciple of the sect for more than three years. As for Little Ting, he’s my son. His qualifications can be calculated from the day he was born.”
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and gave Su Mo a look that asked for a beating. “Aiya, what’s the use of only knowing how to peel walnuts?”
Su Mo muttered, “Come out and fight!”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at the Palace Lord. “Then can I go? I’m Mother’s biological daughter-in-law!”
Palace Lord: “No.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened.
In the end, after Yun Shuang and the four elders’ unanimous selection, Wei Ting, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, and Sixth Junior Sister would go.
Ling Yin was ranked seventh. She was very talented, but unfortunately, she was lazy and was not as hardworking as her senior brothers and sisters. She only learned half of everything.
It was enough to deal with ordinary experts, but if she encountered a few from the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance, she would be in danger.
On the way to the Flying Cloud Palace, the Palace Lord said to Wei Xu, “General Wei, you have to be careful too. Even though you won’t partic.i.p.ate in the martial arts compet.i.tion, once you appear, you will definitely be challenged by some people. Jiang Guanchao is one of them. This is the only chance he has to kill you openly. He definitely won’t let it go.”
Wei Xu said, “I’ll be careful.”
“No matter how he provokes you, don’t accept his challenge. As long as you don’t go into the arena, he won’t know what to do with you.”
After a pause, the Palace Lord added, “I’m not afraid that you won’t be able to defeat him, but if you do, you’ll expose your strength in front of the Xiahou family. If you don’t fight, you’ll be in danger, so the best solution is not to go into the arena.”
Wei Xu thought for a moment. “I understand.”
In Su Xuan’s room, a few people of the same generation had gathered.
Su Xuan could already walk.
He had just walked around the courtyard and was sitting drinking tea when he heard Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting tell him about the martial arts compet.i.tion.
He was not often on Thousand Mountain Island, and the martial arts compet.i.tion was once every three years. He had never partic.i.p.ated once.
Wei Liulang lay on the table in boredom. “Are you really not allowed to partic.i.p.ate before three years are up? Can’t you fake your qualifications?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The list of disciples of the various sects is registered in the City Lord Manor once a year. Do you think you can fabricate things as you see fit?”
She had already secretly asked Lu Aotian this question! She had even spent a bag of jelly beans!
Wei Liulang scratched his heart.
He wanted to go! He wanted to go!
Jing Yi also wanted to go.
Su Xuan opened his mouth.
Su Mo said, “You’re not allowed to go. Granny said that you can’t circulate your energy anymore. After the Heart Guide is removed, your Rakshasa Secret Technique will easily lose control.”
Su Xuan said, “I want to say that there’s still a chaotic battle, right? You can go as experts of the martial world.”
Wei Liulang sat up and said energetically, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite of the walnut.
There was another compet.i.tor!
Su Xuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was gritting her teeth. “Sister, you don’t seem happy? Let me guess. Have you been deceived?”
Head of the Secret Service, if you don’t expose my scars, we can still be siblings!
Su Mo, Wei Liulang, and Jing Yi immediately went outside the City Lord Manor to register and paid 1,500 taels of silver for the election.
“It’s so expensive.” Wei Liulang was surprised. “Can ordinary people afford it?”
Wei Ting said, “Do you really think these wandering martial artists are ordinary people?”
Wei Liulang frowned. “Huh?”
Su Mo said, “More than half of them are experts bought by the various sects.”
Wei Liulang was stunned. “Isn’t this cheating?”
Jing Yi looked at the cards in his hand and then at the money bag. “Are we considered experts bought by the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Wei Liulang was speechless.
In the blink of an eye, it was October 20th.
Wei Liulang was the most excited. He woke up at midnight and sat at the head of Jing Yi’s bed.
Jing Yi was frightened all night and threw a punch at Wei Liulang.
Hence, Wei Liulang came out with a panda eye.
The martial arts compet.i.tion was held at Dragon Mountain on the south island. It was about a four-hour drive from the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Because it was inconvenient to go back and forth, they would stay at Dragon Mountain for the next few days.
Ling Yun and Su Xuan stayed in the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Palace Lord instructed “I’ll leave the child to the two of you. Remember to take good care of the family.”
Ling Yun and Su Xuan were each carrying two children. They felt that something was wrong.
“You’re going too?”
Su Xuan stopped Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “That’s right.”
Su Xuan looked at her suspiciously. “Going to watch the show?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed.
At this moment, Granny Ghost’s impatient voice came from outside. “Are you leaving?”
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Yes, yes! I’m coming, Granny!”
She smiled and waved at Su Xuan. “I’ll go! By the way, I’ll take this!”
Su Xuan was slightly stunned.
His pair of cards!
After Su Xiaoxiao left, Su Xuan looked at Ling Yun. “Did you tell her to partic.i.p.ate as the descendant of the Jin family?”
Ling Yun said, “She said that with one more person going, there’s more hope of saving you.”
The Palace Lord pa.s.sed by the door and looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s back. “There’s also hope of saving you.”
Ling Yun was also stunned.
The Palace Lord said, “She discovered the matter of the Rakshasa late. She hopes to prevent your illness before it happens. She doesn’t want to lose either of you, even if she has to risk her life. Therefore, the two of you have to live well!”
