The melodious bells rang in Qianyue Palace, and people came and went everywhere in the palace, which was very lively.
As the New Year approaches, all the disciples in the palace put on a smile, but behind the smiles, there is all tension and excitement.
There is no other reason. Before every year, a grand competition is held in the palace. Everyone wants to shine in the competition and achieve good results in exchange for the favor of the elders and generous elixir rewards.
Today is the first day of this year's competition. Everyone is holding back their energy in order to perform better. Under such circumstances, Qianyue Palace seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is dark.
Clouds surge.
Yue Moran was walking among the crowd and saw Yue Monan among the disciples who had come to gather. She looked happy and walked through the noisy crowd towards the other party.
"Hello, senior sister." Yue Monan greeted Yue Mo first.
"Well, hello, Junior Brother Nan, has Junior Brother come back?" Yue Moran asked the latter.
The "little junior brother" she refers to is naturally Yue Mochen.
"No, the competition is about to begin. If he can't come back as scheduled, the palace master will definitely be furious."
Yue Monan's expression condensed and he replied.
"Is there any accident?" Yue Moran's face looked worried.
"Don't worry, senior sister. With Hongyue by his side, nothing should happen to him. It may be that he has been distracted by his cultivation. Although senior brother Chen often says inappropriate things, he is still very measured in his actions."
Yue Monan comforted him, but he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
At this time, Yue Moqing also noticed the two of them and walked towards them.
"Senior Sister Ran, Junior Brother Chen, hasn't she come back yet?"
Yue Moqing approached, hurriedly saluted Yue Moran, and then asked anxiously.
Yue Moran shook his head sadly. At this time, a sneer came from the side, it was Yue Moling again!
"Hmph, the so-called number one person in Lian Yue Palace may have been eaten by the spiritual beasts in the forest. You should not have any hope."
After leaving these words, she smiled charmingly, turned around and left.
However, before she took half a step, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"When I came back, I saw a dog posing. What an unlucky thing!"
Yue Mochen appeared in front of the three of them with a smile on his face, but he looked a little downcast. After finishing training at the bottom of the pool, Yue Mochen did not rush back directly, but practiced all the way and fought his way back.
At this time, he looked a little more mature than before, and the childishness on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a calm but sharp aura.
There was a little dust on the shiny black hair, which was tied casually with a black cloth strip. The samurai uniform on his body was torn in many places, and the skin underneath could be faintly seen. He had a slight smile on his face. Didn't he disappear for more than three months?
Who else could Yue Mochen be?
"Junior Brother Xiao (Chen)! You are back!"
Yue Moran and the others said in surprise.
"You've lost weight."
"You've grown taller."
"You've become stronger."
The three of them looked at Yue Mochen who had finally returned and said one after another.
This made Yue Mochen's head as big as a bucket, and he didn't know who to answer at all, but he could deeply feel the concern of everyone for him, and his heart felt warm.
But Yue Moling refused. What she said before was exactly what she expected, but Yue Mochen appeared in front of her unscathed. Although she looked a little downcast, she didn't see any injuries. This made her
She was very unhappy!
"Hey, isn't this the number one person in our Lian Yue Palace? It's hard to tell at first glance. I thought a beggar came and sneaked into the holy place."
Yue Moling's face was full of resentment, which once puzzled Yue Mochen. He could never figure out why so many people were dissatisfied with him even though he had never offended anyone.
It wasn't until his thirteenth birthday that Yue Jiaolan's words made him understand that in this world, some things don't need too many reasons. People are selfish creatures and often only see their own interests.
Perhaps, many of these people believe that Yue Mochen's existence has greatly hindered their interests.
It was as if if Yue Mochen was gone, the one who could be favored by Yue Jinglan would be herself.
The ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of the crime.
Yue Moling's harsh words successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of Yue Moqing and others, but as the person involved, Yue Mochen kept an indifferent expression.
He caressed the red moon that turned into a rabbit with his right hand and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I have a good character, so I won't argue with you today. Let's go and see the battle list."
The battle list is erected on one side of the square. It is Dabi's appearance list.
It records the order of appearance and the opponents of all the disciples of the Mo Zi generation who need to participate in the competition.
Yue Mochen quickly found his name on the list, and his opponent was a little girl from Qingyue Palace.
"Huh? Yue Moqian? One of Bingcui's direct disciples?"
"It turns out to be Junior Sister Qian, Junior Brother Chen, you have to be careful. Junior Sister Qian's talent is not inferior to that of Junior Sister Xue'er. She is known as the Ice and Snow Goddess in our palace. She is already in the realm of spirit warriors at a young age. She was still a warrior last month.
After being promoted to the eighth dan, he is even more powerful than Junior Sister Xue, so you have to deal with it carefully."
It was also the first time for Yue Moqing to see the battle list, and she obviously did not accept the arrangement of this list. In her heart, she also thought that Yue Mochen only had the sixth level of morale, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
No one noticed that Hongyue in Yue Mochen's arms showed a hint of disdain when she mentioned the title of "Ice and Snow Goddess".
"Senior Sister Qing, you have to believe in my character. Am I so easy to lose?" Yue Mochen said with a smile.
"This is a big competition. What does character have to do with it? Senior Sister Qian is deeply loved by Master and has many treasures. You must be careful."
Yue Moqing's face turned anxious and she spoke.
"Haha, Senior Sister Qing, why do I feel that you are on the wrong side? You should support Yue Moqian, she is your palace."
Yue Monan smiled evilly and joked. This guy may be following Yue Mochen a lot, and he is becoming more and more unruly.
Yue Moqing blushed instantly after being teased, but she didn't know what to say.
Yue Mochen smiled slightly and was about to tell everyone about his promotion, but at this moment, a rallying call came from the square.
"Please invite the first 100 disciples from the fighting camp to gather in the square." Yue Yaoxiong's voice echoed in the palace and lingered for a long time.
"I happen to be on the 79th. It's time to gather. I'll go in first. Don't worry, just look forward to my performance."
After saying that, Yue Mochen smiled confidently and walked towards the center of the square.
Yue Moqing felt anxious, and without looking at her opponent, she hurriedly followed Yue Mochen to the center of the square.
Yue Monan and Yue Moqing looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything, and continued to study the battle list.
Soon, according to the ranking on the battle list, the top 100 battle disciples were divided into ten groups. The twenty people in the first group entered the already divided battle area, and the next nine groups lined up outside to wait.
With.
Under the auspices and supervision of a group of elders, the year-end competition of Qianyue Palace finally kicked off.
