After Master Shengyuan left, the remaining crowd looked at each other in a flash.

"What's going on? The third competition is actually scheduled for half a month?"

"Otherwise? The doctor just now said that it takes ten days for these people to recover from the injuries, so naturally they have to wait until their injuries are healed before starting the competition!"

"You said so!"

Just as many people showed a look of extreme agreement, such a somewhat unsociable voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.

"If you really think so, then you will be too simple!"

As soon as this said, everyone around was obviously stunned, and then quickly looked at the person who was talking in surprise.

Suddenly speaking, an old man with white hair and beards was spoken. Facing the amazing gazes that everyone cast at him, he smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand to twist his beard, and then turned directly to walk downstairs - after arousing everyone's curiosity, he actually kept him here.

"Senior, may you know any insider information?"

"The senior looks like a fairy-like figure, obviously not an ordinary person. He must know a lot of information that ordinary people don't know!"

"I wonder if you like the items in the cup, why would you ask the juniors to find a place to invite the seniors to drink a few drinks?"

"Yes, yes, let me ask you to sit at [Yaweiju] for a while and listen to your senior's teachings?"

Seeing the old man turn and leave, many curious onlookers quickly followed and spoke up one after another.

On the rooftop, Jiang Chen looked at the back of the old man surrounded by the crowd, and was slightly lost. The old man's words just now made his heart jump.

"That's right, there's something tricky about this competition!"

In a daze, a soft voice woke Jiang Chen up from his meditation.

"Jiang Chen? Jiang Chen!"

"Ah?" Jiang Chen raised his head and glanced at Li Yue beside him with a little blank look, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking?" Li Yue looked at Jiang Chen with a little confusion, "The crowd has gone clean, won't we go back?"

"Oh! I just thought about something, let's go back too!"

After the words came, Jiang Chen looked at Li Yang next to him, and was a little reluctant to speak. Seeing this scene, Li Yang seemed to guess Jiang Chen’s thoughts and spoke directly.

"Let's go, I'll go back with you!"

"good!"

......

After leaving the government office building, Li Yang got into Jiang Chen and others' cars, while the others who left home drove other cars behind.

On the way back, Jiang Chen and others did not speak first, and the car fell into a strange silence for a moment.

Li Yue glanced at Jiang Chen, who was thinking, and looked at his brother again. Suddenly his eyes turned and he spoke.

"Brother, your injuries are not important, right?"

"Nothing happens!"

Li Yang shook his head and said.

"I have high-level talismans prepared by my family, so the injuries I suffered before were not serious, at least... much better than those guys!"

Li Yue nodded. Just as he was about to continue looking for a topic, Jiang Chen, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Li Yang on one side.

"Senior Brother Li Yang, I have a question I want to think of, please ask me!"

"Here you come!"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone else in the car suddenly cheered up. Although they did not turn to look here, they all raised their ears.

To everyone's surprise, before Jiang Chen could continue to ask, Li Yang said bluntly.

"Jiang Chen, if I guess correctly, are you trying to ask why we are desperately trying to complete the competition?"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. After seeing others taking action before, he did feel such a doubt in his heart.

Intuition told him that those guys were so desperate should not just be because they wanted to get good results in the competition, but they should have other reasons to have to do their best.

Li Yang looked at Jiang Chen with a deep meaning, nodded and said.

"I can tell you very directly that you are not wrong. There are indeed other reasons why we are working so hard."

"You might have noticed it a long time ago, and this competition looks a little unusual."

"I just heard from the elders of the clan that it is better to say that it is a screening ceremony rather than a competition!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone else in the car turned to look here suddenly, but their eyes did not fall on Li Yang, and then they all gathered on Jiang Chen.

On the side, Li Yang seemed to have not noticed something was wrong with the eyes of others, and continued to say now.

"Before I came here today, I was told by the elders of the clan that no matter what, I must do my best in this competition!"

"I think everyone else should have received the same reminder!"

"It's true!"

Jiang Chen murmured softly, and his whole body was a little lost. Li Wen glanced at him and asked immediately.

"Senior Brother Li Yang, what's going on with the screening ceremony you mentioned?"

"I don't know what's specific. The elders in the clan only told me so much, and no matter how many there are, they will never say a word!"

"That's how it works!"

......

[Thunder and Fire Sect] Internal.

Master Tingni's eyes closed slightly and he sat steadily on the seat above; Elder Ouyang and others who had just returned from the government office building stood below with some anxiety; the other old men in the sect sat on both sides with expressionless faces.

After a moment, Master Tingni above suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes fell directly on Zhang Fei in the crowd below.

An old man in the seat next to him asked when he saw this.

"Master, have you found the reason?"

Master Tingni's eyes remained on Zhang Fei and said slowly.

"No, I didn't find anything abnormal in him!"

After he finished speaking, he said to Zhang Fei again.

"You describe your experience and feelings in detail."

"good!"

Zhang Fei licked his lips and then began to tell the situation at that time.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

I originally planned to use the last few days of the holiday to save a few more chapters, but unfortunately I left home urgently on the fifth day of the lunar month and came from Dadongdong to Jiangnan thousands of kilometers away overnight.

The chapters in the past few days have been rushing out. Some are written at the airport, some are written in the car driving, and some are written in the room in the middle of the night!

The outline has been decided long ago, and the update content will not be affected; it was just that the inspection was not carefully checked in a hurry. If there are typos in the article, please point it out in the comment area so that I can correct it.

After I’m busy for this period, I will speed up appropriately and update more every day!
Chapter completed!
