The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 138 The curtain opens

Life is short, why not give it a try? ——Inscription

Seeing Dongfang Junyan gradually disappearing from her sight, Fan Nuoxi's eyes couldn't help but become misty.

Looking at the phoenix jade on the table, Fan Nuoxi fell into deep thought.

His voice seemed to still echo in my ears, "Nuoxi, why don't you try to ask your true heart?"

"You have never been a burden to me. What matters to me is you, regardless of anything else."

Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but pick up the jade pendant and rub it in her hands, and finally couldn't help but let drops of hot tears flow down.

After a long time, Fan Nuoxi finally calmed down and left the teahouse.

Dongfang Junyan, who had left earlier, slowly appeared at this moment, looking at Fan Nuoxi's departing figure with deep eyes.

It turned out that he had never left, but just chose to protect her in this way.

Maybe only by venting it out can you know what you really want.

Nuoxi, I hope you are well.

I will do my best to protect you.

……

In a blink of an eye, the selection for the martial arts competition began in full swing.

The entire selection process lasted three days.

Naturally, there are basic conditions for participating in the selection. Everyone can participate for free, but they need to pass a cultivation test. Those who pass the cultivation test can obtain a qualification token to participate in the competition.

Generally speaking, only those who have reached the foundation-building stage or above are eligible to participate in the competition, but if you have good talent, you can have the opportunity to participate even if you don’t have the foundation-building stage.

After passing the selection, you will be matched with opponents of similar cultivation to fight against in the next few days, and the winner can stay and continue the challenge.

You will get one point for each victory, but if there is a challenge of a higher level, you can get three points for each victory.

Only those ranked in the top 200 can enter the real competition.

But Fan Nuoxi was obviously not interested in these things. She didn't want to go through so much trouble to get what she wanted.

She is waiting for an opportunity.

During this period, she also took time to return to the space and upgrade her reconnaissance team.

After the upgrade, they can completely record the images and sounds, analyze the basic profile of the characters, and then send the images back in real time, which is very useful to Fan Nuoxi. The most important thing is that they can come back at any time. As long as they exceed a certain range, they will consider whether to continue tracking according to Fan Nuoxi's needs.

However, if they encounter someone with a high level of cultivation and discover their existence, even if they are near that person, they will not be able to see them at all.

Of course, since these reconnaissance soldiers can transmit images back in real time, they can naturally store the images.

After experiencing Fan Nuoxi's profound education, Haoyu, Tujie and Hagu Zhuo no longer dared to go to the villa casually. Seeing their hopeless and aggrieved appearance, Fan Nuoxi softened his heart and made some delicious food for Tujie and Hagu Zhuo, and gave Haoyu four bags of spiritual jade, which finally saved them from the bitter face.

While the selection was going on, the auction was also going on simultaneously. The three-day auction was just an appetizer, the real thing was still to come.

Therefore, during the days of the selection, Fan Nuoxi took Li Menghan, who also had no intention of participating in the competition, to visit the capital, participate in auctions, and inquire about some information she needed.

The strange thing is that in the past few days, Dongfang Junyan seemed to have completely disappeared. Fan Nuoxi felt a little lost after not seeing him for several days. Even the joy brought by the proceeds from the auction was diluted a little.

After several days of fierce competition, the two hundred contestants who entered the competition were finally determined.

The martial arts competition officially kicked off.

On this day, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle, and people from several countries gathered together.

The entire venue covers an area of ​​about ten acres and is divided into five areas, namely the preliminary round, promotion round, final round, as well as one spectator seat and one host seat.

At this moment, the Emperor of Lingyuan Kingdom, as the host, sat in the presiding seat of the martial arts competition, and behind him were princes and nobles from various countries, but there was only one person who was almost on an equal footing with the Emperor of Lingyuan Kingdom.

The man was seen sitting on a chair made of dark spiritual wood, with a golden mask that looked like a swimming dragon on his face and a dark robe. He just sat there, looking extremely noble and aloof.

However, some of the young ladies from aristocratic families present were dazzled and they couldn't help whispering to each other for a moment.

"Who is the man next to the emperor? He is so handsome."

"The face beneath the mask probably looks like a god."

"No one is allowed to compete with me. He is the husband that I like."

"Oh, that won't do. Which sister here doesn't like that adult?"

"You may not know that the last time that gentleman came to our Lingyuan country was several years ago. It is said that the little princess said at that time that she wanted that gentleman to be her consort, but later on, didn't she marry a prince? In my opinion, we can only watch this gentleman from afar, and we don't know who will get the upper hand in the end."

"If you go away, you will only boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige."

……

Fan Nuoxi heard every word of these words and thought to herself, is this man a walking fangirl vending machine?

Why are there so many eager girls everywhere who like...

At this time, Fan Nuoxi and others were sitting in the front row opposite the host's seat. In order to avoid being too conspicuous, Fan Nuoxi and others naturally disguised themselves into ordinary looks. As for Fei Ji and others, they turned into three bells on the bracelet.

Perhaps he was lost in thought for a moment, and Fan Nuoxi did not notice the eager gaze from the opposite side in time, although it was only for a moment.

Until the excited voices of some young ladies from aristocratic families behind him rang in his ears.

"Ahhh, that adult just looked at me, and his eyes seemed so gentle."

"Nonsense, you're obviously looking at me!"

"Do you think that gentleman might like one of us?"

"No way, what if I saw it wrong?"

"We are so far away, how can we see clearly?"

"..."

Fan Nuoxi felt a little sour in her heart, and suddenly thought that it might be a good idea to try to date that man?

But when Fan Nuoxi noticed Li Menghan on his right, he found something strange.

Li Menghan was seen staring at a certain spot on the opposite side of the host's seat, with sweat already appearing on her hands and face.

Just as Fan Nuoxi looked up, Dongfang Junyan and her eyes happened to intertwine in the air, and it took a while before they separated.

As a result, Fan Nuoxi didn't notice other people. When Fan Nuoxi looked at Li Menghan again, she had already controlled her emotions and was looking away aimlessly.

Ruochen, who was on Fan Nuoxi's left, "..." How long has it been? Why do I feel like I'm a little redundant?

The women behind Fan Nuoxi were even more furious.

"Oh my god, I was right, the master must have taken a fancy to one of us, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at us so many times."

"Virtue! I think we may have been heard talking about that gentleman."

"Alright, alright, the game is about to start, let's keep our voices down."

……

"Silence!" A deep voice mixed with spiritual power came from the host's seat in all directions.

The person who spoke was none other than a royal guard.

After the whole place became quiet, a tall man slowly appeared in front of everyone.

His appearance once again caused an uproar.

"Hiss, isn't this the most mysterious state master?"

"I heard that the whereabouts of the Imperial Master is a mystery, and the Emperor can hardly see him a few times a year!"

"In previous martial arts competitions, the Imperial Master was a mysterious figure who was hard to find. He rarely came to the competition. But he actually came this time. It seems that this martial arts competition will be very interesting!"

The man was wearing a gorgeous black suit with a flame-like pattern on his forehead, which added highlights to his already handsome features, but it always felt a bit out of harmony, as if something was missing.

This was the most intuitive feeling that Fan Nuoxi had. When Fan Nuoxi looked at him, the corner of the state teacher's mouth actually slightly raised.

The state master looked around and finally, his sights were on Fan Nuoxi. After a few breaths, he started the first item of the martial arts competition.

The first item includes: reading out the rules of the competition and its duration, as well as rewards and other aspects.

There was one rule among them that interested Fan Nuoxi quite a bit.

After the preliminary and promotion rounds, there will be 5 free challenge spots, and anyone present can improvise and challenge a contestant on stage.

If you win, you will become a formal player, eliminate others, and continue to participate in the next game. If you can enter the finals, you will also receive medicinal materials worth 5,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

If you lose, you can get a consolation prize of five medium-grade spirit stones.
