Wan Tianyang didn't notice the change in Ma Xiaoquan's expression. At this time, all he was thinking about was the competition for nobles.
Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses and asked: "Tianyang, although I have participated in this competition for nobles, the previous ones will always be the previous ones. It is said that the rewards for this competition seem to be very rich."
Wan Tianyang nodded and said: "There is a Qianji Hall in the palace, have you heard of it?"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed. In fact, he didn't know what Qianjitang did, but in front of Wan Tianyang, he couldn't reveal that he didn't know.
"Hey, Qianji Hall, it's very mysterious..." Ma Xiaoquan thought and guessed based on the name of Qianji Hall.
Wan Tianyang said humbly: "Did you know? All the contestants in this noble competition, as long as they are selected, can choose whether to enter Qianji Hall."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said: "It seems that there was no such treatment in the past, right? In the past, I remember that only the top three had this opportunity, right?"
Wan Tianyang said: "So this time, everyone said it was different, and the king also paid special attention to it... By the way, it is said that several powerful people in Qianji Hall will also be judges this time
Woolen cloth."
"Oh? Why didn't I know~" Ma Xiaoquan blinked.
"You are just a judge, not an judge. Of course you don't know. Well, my mother also told me this news. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going back first. I'll think about it again. By the way, I,
Don’t tell anyone else~”
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and said, "Am I that kind of person?"
Wan Tianyang smiled slightly and left.
...
After Wan Tianyang left, Ma Xiaoquan immediately sent a message to Yuan: "Yuan, what do you think this Black and Green King is up to? What Qianji Hall, why do I have a bad feeling?"
Yuan responded: "Let's not talk about whether there is an ominous premonition. At least this soul traveler has indeed made a name for himself in this world. Ma Xiaoquan, I think you should watch this competition for nobles.
Look, maybe it will be useful for what you want to do in the future."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "Okay~"
...
In fact, as early as a month ago, Blackwater City disseminated the competition time for the Noble Children Competition. According to the previous rules, the first area outside Blackwater City was to attract young noble talents from other areas of the Black and Blue Kingdom.
Come to Blackwater City to compete.
The notification time of Heishui City is later than that of other places. Firstly, Heishui City is close to the source of the news, so there is no need to deliberately spread the news. Secondly, it is also because Heishui City is the capital of Heiqing Kingdom and its resources are very concentrated. As long as
If you have money, you don’t need much advance preparation.
In addition to the royal family, Blackwater City also has four prominent nobles, Wanjin Wang and Zhang, such as Wan Tianyang and Wan Shitao, who are members of the Wan family. In addition to the four prominent nobles, there are also many minor nobles. These nobles are either
Either his father or brother were officials in the court, or it was a big businessman from other places who bought a house in Blackwater City, or there were even noble children from other countries.
The competition for noble children is divided into three stages: preliminary, semi-finals and finals. The preliminary competition has been held in various places a month ago. Because it is a competition for noble children, those participating in the competition must have a certain identity, and generally no admission will be allowed in the preliminary competition.
It is public, so even ordinary people have only heard about it.
The semi-finals are different. You can choose to open the semi-finals to the public. Many aristocratic children are also well-known to the people at this time. The location of the semi-finals is usually chosen at random, but it is generally based on the principle of proximity.
As for the final, it is the competition that will be held in Blackwater City.
Because of the prominent status of the four nobles, the children of the four nobles are usually listed as seed players. Of course, there is a limit to the number of seed players. Two from each family. Other children in the family must also participate if they want to participate.
Going to participate in the semi-finals.
Seeded players can directly enter the finals. However, entering the finals does not mean that they will get good results.
Ma Xiaoquan took a rough look at the past final results. It can be said that the top three in previous competitions rarely included children from the four major families.
Ma Xiaoquan believes that either the four major families deliberately let the competition slip in the final stage out of interests, or their real skills are inferior to others...
After patting his forehead, Ma Xiaoquan stood up and said to himself: "There is still one day left before the finals. I wonder how prepared they are?"
Yuan suddenly responded: "Aren't you one of the judges of this competition? The day before the finals, you should be able to get everyone's information."
"Yes, why did I forget about this~" Ma Xiaoquan patted his forehead, "Then I'll go take a look tomorrow~"
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan received the list of participants in the finals, as well as each person's basic information.
There are a total of one hundred and twenty-two aristocratic children who have been shortlisted for the finals. Looking at their resumes, each of them seems to have a good background. Apart from their identities, these should be considered elite talents from all over the world.
Ma Xiaoquan looked through the information and asked the source: "You said these elites are gathered here. What is the purpose of the Black and Green King?"
Yuan was silent for a while, then said: "I was still in Huang Jingming's body a long time ago, and I read the book with him. I forgot the title, but I do remember part of the content... Well
, that book mainly talks about the elite plan... To put it simply, because the children of the nobles have better learning resources, it is usually easier for them to succeed than the ordinary people. The elites are selected among these people.
, to take advantage of...the so-called elite plan..."
"Elite Plan?"
"Yes, well...your identity, Extreme Soldier, is actually part of the elite plan of the underground world..."
"Yuan, when you put it this way, I can connect these people with the Qianji Hall. I looked through the past results and found that the top three have basically entered the Qianji Hall...
...This time, anyone who is selected can actually choose whether they want to enter Qianji Hall... This King of Black and Green is probably playing a big game."
"Well, maybe it's as you expected, but it also makes sense. The Black and Green Country is the most powerful among the surrounding countries. On the one hand, it's because of its large land area, and secondly, it's because of some unknown forces in this country.
Influenced, right?”
"Well, that makes sense~"
Ma Xiaoquan closed his resume, stretched, stood up, and was about to yawn when the door suddenly opened.
Before he had time to pay attention to who it was, a voice sounded in his mind, commanding him to shut up.
Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth before he could say anything, but closed it immediately the next moment.
"Min Xian'er..." Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and a name appeared in his mind.
"Hehe..." A smiling woman in white suddenly appeared in front of Ma Xiaoquan, patted Ma Xiaoquan's shoulder gently and said, "Okay, you can talk now~"
Ma Xiao relaxed all over and exhaled: "This is the resting room for the judges of the aristocratic competition. Ordinary people are not qualified to enter. Tell me, have you controlled the guards outside?"
Min Xian'er curled her lips and said, "Of course, how could I get in otherwise?"
"I'll go, you've really had enough. I'm just wondering, why do you always come to bully me? Do you and I have any grievances..."
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's helpless look, Min Xian'er seemed particularly happy. She picked up the tea cup on the table without politeness, and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of Ma Xiaoquan's already having a drink.
"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come here suddenly? You don't come to me to ask me to reveal some information about the people involved in the Noble Children Competition, right? Hey, to be honest, if you want to see it, I definitely can't stop you.
"
"Hey, I'm not that interested~" Min Xian'er shook her head, her expression suddenly condensed, and said, "I'm going to see Li Qinghan."
"What? You went to see her? Isn't that right? I'm afraid you stopped Qinghan and the others when they left Blackwater City, right?"
"You are smart. Yes, I went to stop them. I also fought with Li Qinghan..." After saying that, Min Xianer rolled up his sleeves and exposed his fair left arm. Ma Xiaoquan focused his eyes.
At first glance, there was a flame burn on her left arm, which was light blue.
Min Xian'er pulled down her sleeves, pursed her lips and said, "She is really powerful, she almost killed me."
Ma Xiaoquan exhaled, feeling that Qinghan was fine.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan exhale, Min Xian'er suddenly felt very unhappy.
"Why, are you happy to hear that your sweetheart almost killed me?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand quickly: "No, no, absolutely not~"
"Hmph, that's all. In fact, she didn't get any advantage from me. I also slashed her back. Hum..."
Ma Xiaoquan's heart tightened. He wanted to ask Min Xian'er if the stroke was deep, but he didn't dare.
"You guys, I really don't understand. You have no grievances, so why do you do this?"
Min Xian'er glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and said: "This is a matter for us women. You don't understand. By the way, since you can also control fire, you should be able to deal with this light blue scar on my arm.
Right? I always feel as if someone put a fire bug in my arm. The burning has made me unable to sleep well in the past two days~" After saying that, Min Xian'er stretched out his arm, saying Ma Xiaoquan, you have to show me.
How dare Ma Xiaoquan not look at it? He quickly came up and gently grabbed Min Xian'er's arm. He reached out and touched the wound gently. Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Min Xian'er shook her head: "It doesn't hurt on the skin, but it hurts inside. Is there anything you can do?"
