Chapter 192 The second round begins

"Hey, where are you going?" Dugu Anran asked.

"It's too boring, I'm going out for a walk." Xu Hao replied without looking back.

In fact, he just wanted to see if he could find Xu Ya and Venerable Red Sword and ask what was going on.

Dugu Anran shrugged and said, "It's up to you." After saying that, he closed the door.

Xu Hao had only taken a few steps when a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Big pervert, stop right here!"

Xu Hao's footsteps were stifled. He knew that the person behind him was Mo Xiaoxuan without turning around.

At this moment, Mo Xiaoxuan's face was full of anger, but her pretty face was a little blushing. She stared at Xu Hao as if she wanted to go forward and beat him up.

"Haha...that..." Xu Hao turned around with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Haha, which one?" Mo Xiaoxuan put her hands on her hips and sneered.

Suddenly, at this moment, a burst of purple energy circulated in Mo Xiaoxuan's body, and with a movement of the seal in her hand, the purple spiritual sword instantly moved and was in her hand.

"Ah, um, the weather is so nice today!" Xu Hao laughed.

"Yeah, the weather is really nice today, so what?" Mo Xiaoxuan still sneered.

Xu Hao broke into a cold sweat and immediately admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I didn't mean to do it, please spare my life!"

"Well, I can spare your life, but... I'll dig out your eyes!" Mo Xiaoxuan shouted angrily.

As soon as the sword light moved, Mo Xiaoxuan's figure moved without any warning. The long sword in his hand suddenly passed through a purple sword light and slashed down towards Xu Hao.

Feeling the purple sword light, Xu Hao suddenly realized that this girl was really angry. If she continued to stay here, there was no guarantee that she would not do anything harmful to the world, so Xu Hao said nothing,

He immediately ran away.

The purple sword light suddenly looked empty. Mo Xiaoxuan stumbled and stared at Xu Hao's back.

Mo Xiaoxuan was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Hao to run away so spinelessly, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop." As soon as she spoke, Xu Hao had already run away and disappeared.

Xu Hao was not familiar with this place, so he walked around blindly after going downstairs. However, it was obvious that this was the palace of the Zhou Empire, because he could meet palace maids and patrolling guards everywhere. Xu Hao was so careless.

Wandering around the destination, he met no one else except the palace maids and guards, and the guards did not seem to stop Xu Hao from walking around.

"I'm sorry, sir, it's a restricted area from here on." Xu Hao's way was blocked by two guards.

Xu Hao was a little confused, but this was always the palace, and it was normal not to go to some places casually. Xu Hao didn't think of any conflicts, so he turned around and returned. At this moment, Xu Hao met Xiao Qi.

"Hey, why did you come here?" Xu Hao asked.

Xiaoqi was stunned and smiled: "Of course I came here because I had something to do. I also want to ask you, why did you come to the restricted area?"

"Restricted area?" Xu Hao asked curiously.

"Don't you know, His Majesty has designated this area for the disciples of the three sects to move freely, and other places are not allowed to enter or exit." Xiao Qi said.

Xu Hao suddenly realized, "No wonder you didn't let me pass just now."

"Of course." Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think the palace is a place where you can walk around casually?"

Xu Hao laughed and felt much better.

"You are such an interesting person." Xiaoqi smiled.

"You are really..." Xu Hao suddenly didn't know what to say.

"What is it really?" Xiaoqi asked curiously.

"It's so... uh..." Xu Hao held it in for a long time and suddenly said: "It's so beautiful!"

"Ah..." Xiaoqi blushed, then laughed and scolded: "That's too bad. Why can't I feel sincerity at all when you say someone is beautiful?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I'm not very good at praising girls."

Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I've seen it a long time ago!"

Xu Hao was suffocated and couldn't help but said: "You are really 'honest'!"

"Xiaoqi has always been honest!"

Xu Hao and Xiao Qi both laughed.

"To be honest, I never thought that I could get along so well with people from other sects." Xu Hao said.

"Why?" Xiaoqi asked.

"Because, after all, different sects have different opinions. Generally, when disciples of the three sects meet, they will hate each other even if there is no conflict. This kind of thing has happened too many times, and I have encountered it several times, like

Maybe it’s really rare for me and you to be like this.” Xu Hao sighed.

"Really?" Xiaoqi tilted her head and said, "I have never been in contact with people from other sects before, but Qingyu told me that I must be wary of people, even if they are from the same sect, but I think she might

Thinking too much."

"She's right." Xu Hao couldn't help but think of Jiang Shufan and the third son, especially the third son. It was an unforgettable pain.

"Why?" Xiaoqi asked puzzledly.

Xu Hao was silent for a moment and said, "Just remember that what she said is right."

Seeing that Xu Hao's mood suddenly dropped, she did not ask further questions. For a while, the two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

As if wanting to break the embarrassment, Xiaoqi suddenly asked: "Um...do you have anyone you like?"

Xu Hao was stunned and looked at Xiao Qi, who also looked at him. Xu Hao was silent for a moment, swallowed, and said, "Yes."

"Then, tell me, what should you do if you want to marry someone you don't like?" Xiao Qi asked a little nervously, but she looked at Xu Hao with a hopeful look.

Xu Hao was a little confused. Just now he thought Xiaoqi was hinting at something, but now it seems that he may have mistaken his meaning?

"Why? Since you are not the one you like, why do you want to get married?" Xu Hao was very surprised.

"Because... oh, there are many reasons anyway. Please tell me what to do." Xiao Qi was a little anxious.

"Since I'm not the one I like, then I won't get married. What else can I do?" Xu Hao looked puzzled.

If it were him, he would never do this. Even if he ran away from marriage, he would never marry someone he didn't like and let himself be bound to that person for the rest of his life.

"But...but...what if we have to get married?" Xiaoqi was anxious.

Xu Hao sighed and said helplessly: "You said we have to get married, what else can we do, we can only get married."

Although he said this, Xu Hao seemed to have a subtle feeling that Xiao Qi seemed a little strange.

When Xiaoqi heard this, her face immediately fell and she couldn't help but said: "Why!"

Xu Hao was stunned by her and asked quickly: "Why?"

"Why do I have to..." Xiaoqi paused, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

"Have you encountered something? Tell me and see if I can help." Xu Hao said with concern.

If he could be of any help, Xu Hao wouldn't mind. But what could he do about the other party's marriage?

Xiaoqi shook her head and said, "It's useless."

"Uh..." Since Xiaoqi didn't want to say anything, Xu Hao couldn't ask any more questions.

"Forget it, let's go back and have a good rest today. The second round of the competition will start tomorrow." Xiao Qi said.

"It starts tomorrow?" Xu Hao asked in surprise.

Xiao Qi nodded, but was unwilling to speak any more, so Xu Hao had no choice but to follow her and walk back.

Looking from the side, Xu Hao felt that Xiao Qi's figure was a bit lonely.

Although there were some thoughts in her heart, Xiao Qi didn't say anything, and Xu Hao didn't ask anything.

The next day, the second round of the martial arts competition between the core disciples of the three holy places of the Great Zhou Empire began.

The audience was still the same, but the atmosphere became more lively. Because he was unconscious, Xu Hao didn't know how the rest of the game would go, but judging from the audience's emotions, it seemed to be very intense.

The second round of the competition is still drawn by lots, divided into four groups, but there are only seven players left at this moment, which means that one person will have a bye and directly qualify for promotion.

Obviously, this is very unfair to the contestants, but the organizer does not care about this. According to the organizer, in a war, the luck of the two armies is also very important. Even the most elite troops are not lucky.

Even when it rains heavily, you have to march in the rain. The same goes for competitions between warriors.

Although what the organizer said was correct, everyone knew it was a quibble, but no one raised it.

The drawing of lots began, and the contestants came on stage one by one to start drawing lots.

"Xiao Qi, are you sure everything has been done?" Qing Yu asked Xiao Qi in a low voice.

"Yeah." Xiaoqi nodded and said, "They told me that the No. 4 pick is affixed to the top of the box. I just need to carefully tear it off without being discovered."

Qingyu nodded and said, "Then go ahead."

Xiao Qi was about to go on stage, but Xu Hao rushed up one step ahead of her, so Xiao Qi had to stop.

Because Xu Hao just went to visit Mu Feiyun who was still recovering from his injuries, he was a little absent-minded now.

Mu Feiyun's injury was a bit serious. Although I heard that Qingyu was merciful, Mu Feiyun still can't draw his Qi. He can't even make a big move without breathing for a long time, so Xu Hao is a little worried.

Thinking of the missing Xu Ya and the sword-wielding master, I was upset for a while.
