Ling Xuewei looked at Li Quan, "On the contrary, I admire you very much, because with your own ability and perseverance, you have won your own place in a place like the Li family, which is full of intrigues. Although you are frail, you can use such a weak body to fight for your own place."
Order all the children of the Xiao family, how are you inferior to those strong men and heroes?"
The woman's dark eyes revealed wisdom and calmness, as if she could see through all pretense and falsehood. Li Quan was slightly startled, then smiled.
"I didn't expect to hear such comments today." Li Quan's eyes were deep.
Ling Xuewei's face flashed with astonishment, and she waved her hands in a embarrassed manner, "Sorry, that's just me. I always like to say something that is not true, so just pretend you didn't hear it..."
Li Quan's lips curled up slightly, "No, if I can hear Xuewei's words today, Zibai will have no regrets in this life."
The green smoke from the incense burner curled up, making his eyes slightly drunk.
…
The carriage quickly arrived near Jingu Street, but because there were too many people on Jingu Street, the carriage could not continue to pass, so Ling Xuewei and Li Quan had to get off the car and walk.
There was a thick layer of snow piled on the ground. The two walked slowly and soon arrived at Jingu Street.
They found a teahouse and entered the private room on the third floor. The two took off their cloaks. Li Quan waved away the boy who followed him, then walked to the window and opened it.
What we entered was a wide open space, where many people had already gathered.
"You can see the selection venue right here. Let's just wait here for the time being." Li Quan said.
Ling Xuewei shook off the falling snow on her body and then came to the window, "I didn't expect that the view here is pretty good."
Li Quan smiled and said, "I discovered it accidentally before, but I didn't expect it to work now."
The two sat down together. Li Quan made a pot of hot tea, poured a cup and handed it to her, "It should be almost time. People from the three major sects should be arriving soon."
Ling Xuewei took the tea cup and said calmly, "After what happened at the hunting banquet, the Taihe Sect was still able to choose disciples without changing their expression, which is really admirable."
Li Quan chuckled, "Actually, after what happened that night, the reputation of Taihe Sect outside the country has dropped a lot, and it will have some impact on the selection of disciples this time."
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't think it's anything. I hope Elder Zhu Ying won't be too angry, lest it affect his health."
"Ha..." Li Quan couldn't help but chuckle, and then said, "After that night, you became famous in the court."
Ling Xuewei was surprised, "Famous?"
Li Quan nodded, "Yes, after all, what happened that night left a deep impression on the ministers of the Qinglong Kingdom, and it is difficult to forget even if they want to."
"I'm not famous, am I? I should be famous for the lightning around me."
Ling Xuewei hit the nail on the head.
Li Quan's eyes were slightly solemn, "You are right. The news that you have a holy beast Kunpeng has spread throughout Yunshui City. I believe that the entire Qinglong Kingdom will know about it soon. This is not necessarily a good thing."
Ling Xuewei slowly took a sip of tea, "I know that now that I am being pushed to the forefront, I am afraid that it will attract many people with ill intentions."
"Yes, even though His Highness the Crown Prince intended to prevent the spread of rumors, because there were too many people who witnessed the holy beast that night, and the Taihe Sect deliberately fueled the flames, the news spread like wildfire." Li Quan sighed, "
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that you should be careful in your actions these days, lest some people do you harm."
Ling Xuewei sneered, "Since they dare to come, let's give Lightning some practice. It happens to be very idle recently, so as not to let it develop the habit of being too lazy to eat."
Li Quan frowned slightly, "Don't underestimate those people, especially some mercenaries and casual cultivators. They have many tricks. If you are not careful, you may fall into them."
Ling Xuewei nodded, "I understand, don't worry."
Li Quan hesitated for a moment, then reminded him again, "The Xiao family members were also there that night, so you have to be careful about them."
Ling Xuewei raised her eyes to look at him and said, "I didn't expect you to remind me to be careful about the Xiao family."
Li Quan looked at her and said, "I know that you and Xiao Yifeng are planning to deal with the Xiao family. In fact, you can understand this matter if you think about it for a moment. After all, Crescent Moon Lake had already begun to take shape that night. If I hadn't thought of it, then I would have been Li in vain.
The family has been a family member for so many years."
Ling Xuewei was silent.
Also, with the intelligence of the man in front of me, how could he not guess it?
The Li family is the head of the four major families, so he has the ability to become the eldest son of the Li family.
"Yes, I do want to deal with the Xiao family." Ling Xuewei did not deny it, her eyes were deep, "But if the Xiao family hadn't been pressing harder, I would never have taken the initiative to trouble him, not to mention I don't have that much time."
Ling Xuewei shrugged slightly, "The Xiao family is one of the four major families and has countless disciples. It will not be easy for Yifeng and I to deal with him. If possible, I don't want to wade into this muddy water, but if we don't deal with him
He, he will deal with us."
She had already learned from Ye Moyan that Xiao Ning, the head of the Xiao family, had entrusted Shura Hall to take her life.
She didn't expect that Xiao Ning would have murderous intentions towards her so quickly. Now, it was no longer something she could understand by staying out of the matter.
Li Quan said, "Now the entire Xiao family is looking for the whereabouts of Xiao Yifeng and the clan leader's daughter Xiao Lingxi. They know that Xiao Lingxi participated in the selection of the three major sects, so they have people ambushing them all around, waiting for someone to show up to kill them.
Take it."
Ling Xuewei's eyes darkened, "Why are you telling me this? This is a grudge between us and the Xiao family. You are the eldest son of the Li family. Are you not afraid of being implicated if you tell me this?"
Li Quan chuckled, "No. What's more, even without this incident, the Xiao family has always regarded my Li family as their mortal enemies. What's the difference?"
The intrigues between the four major families have always been well known, and the Xiao and Li families have been fighting openly and secretly for decades.
The arrival of Ling Xuewei gradually broke this balance. Because of Xiao Yifeng, the Xiao family even dispatched hundreds of disciples.
Ling Xuewei stood up and walked to the window. Kunpeng's eyes flashed secretly, and all the traces of the Xiao family's children lurking around came into view.
Especially outside the school grounds, there are more people. I am afraid that as soon as Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Lingxi appear, they will be captured immediately by the Xiao family.
At this time, Li Quan walked up behind Ling Xuewei and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to send you a message. As long as you say a word, he will help you."
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly and she said calmly, "Don't worry, let's take a look and then talk."
Soon, the selection of the three major sects began.
The first round is to select those with spiritual roots and excellent muscles and bones.
The second game is a duel between two, and the winner advances to the final game.
There are approximately a thousand candidates standing on the school field at the moment, all of them are young talents from various countries, as well as the leaders of mercenary groups and guilds.
Of course, they are all under the age of twenty-eight.
Soon, I heard the sound of drums in the school grounds, and immediately I saw people from the three major sects arriving.
Taihe Sect, Chiyang Sect, Shuangxue Sect.
Those who came this time were all the leading disciples, and no trace of the elders was seen.
I think so, but it is only the second selection and the elders will not be present in person.
Soon, the competition officially began. After drawing lots to determine the groups, the entire school was divided into four competition areas, and they competed one by one. Each competition only had one stick of incense, and within one stick of incense, as long as the opponent gave up or let him out of the game
Off the field, it counts as a win.
After the whistle blew, the duel began.
For a moment, there were shouts and fights, fists, wind and kicks. All kinds of auras were fully activated, filling the entire school grounds. Looking from a distance, they looked like colorful fireworks, very beautiful.
There were even some powerful ones who directly released their spiritual beasts to fight with their opponents! White tigers, three-legged crows, red foxes, pangolins, and all kinds of spiritual beasts roared together. The scene was completely shocking.
Ling Xuewei was upstairs leaning on the bed, looking down carelessly.
At this moment, she saw Zhong Li, the elder of Chiyang Sect, coming.
When several other disciples from the sect saw him coming, they all saluted respectfully.
Zhong Li nodded one by one, and then he was led respectfully by his disciples to the upper platform.
Zhong Li, who was on the high platform, glanced around the venue, seeming to be looking for something. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.
Ling Xuewei, who was on the high building, saw all his actions, her eyes flashed, and she looked away.
At this time, there was a faint noise coming from outside the school grounds.
Ling Xuewei scanned the area with her Kunpeng eyes and realized that it was the children of the Xiao family who had a quarrel with a group of casual cultivators, and the quarrel was getting louder at the moment.
It seemed that people from the Xiao family blocked the road and spoke rudely to them, thus irritating these people. For a time, the emotions between the two parties intensified, and they seemed to be about to take action.
Zhong Li, who was in the school grounds, also heard the commotion and sent his disciples down to check. After a moment, he informed him of the situation.
When Zhong Li heard that the person was a child of the Xiao family, he frowned, but got up and went to check it out himself.
Outside the school grounds, two gangs were having a quarrel.
"What about the disciples of the Xiao family? How can you bully others like this? This avenue belongs to your family? Why are you standing here and refusing to give way?" Those big casual cultivators all looked fierce, and they did not flinch when facing everyone in the Xiao family.
"This road is so wide, but you have to go from here! Are you deliberately looking for trouble?! Get out of here before we get angry! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" The Xiao family's children were as arrogant as ever.
"You're a hairless brat!! Who are you talking about?!"
"It's you I'm talking about! What's going on!"
"What did you say?!"
…
The two groups were quarreling fiercely.
Just when the two sides were about to start fighting, Zhong Li arrived with his people.
"Stop it!!" A disciple of the Chiyang Sect shouted, and then the two parties fell silent and all looked here.
"It's Elder Zhong Li!!"
Some people in the Xiao family have recognized Zhong Li and saluted, "I have met Elder Zhong Li."
Zhong Li stood with his hands behind his hands and shouted loudly with a majestic face, "What on earth is going on?"
Someone from the Xiao family came forward and said, "Elder Qi, these people are deliberately looking for trouble, saying that we are blocking their way, and are causing trouble. I am really sorry for disturbing the elder."
