Wherever there is excitement, Tai Chi Square must be there. There is no need to bother looking for it. Therefore, Min Rouran quickly followed the sound of people and came to Tai Chi Square. When the guard at the gate saw him, he was shocked and wanted to go over to report it, but Min Rouran He waved his hand, stopped the guard's announcement, pretended to be an ordinary tourist, and walked in.
There are many tourists in Tai Chi Square. The Four Sects' Martial Arts Competition held every five years is open to everyone. Anyone who is a Xuanshi can enter. That's why there are so many members of the major families in Huoyun City. People, there are also some people from outside families, some are sitting in the audience, those are of higher status, some are standing under the ring like Min Rouran, such people are dozens of people sitting in the audience times.
Because it is impossible for everyone to have a seat, most people can only stand. If Min Rouran reveals his identity, he will naturally be respectfully invited to the most distinguished position on the sword-holding tower and the viewing platform, but , but he did not want to be so eye-catching, and also wanted to observe the strength of these four aristocratic families up close, so he walked into the crowd. Others thought he was just a foreign scholar, and no one said anything. Except for the four major aristocratic families, No one has ever seen him as an elder, a person of the family head's level, so naturally they won't recognize him.
Seeing Min Rouran's figure disappearing into the crowd, the guard immediately waved his hand and called someone to replace him, saying: "I will go to the sword-holding building to report to the four masters. You continue to watch here."
"Yes!" the guard said with great respect. Obviously, the guard guarding the gate has a very high status. Indeed, today is an important day for the four major families, and there is no room for error. Those who arrange the gate guard are all high-ranking magicians. The existence of this level is partly to show strength and show grandeur. On the other hand, it is also to prevent riots from happening, as a deterrent, and to deal with various emergencies at any time. So when he saw Min Rouran appear, the guard went to report it. He recruited a backup, whose strength was slightly weaker than his, and his status in the Tantai family was also lower.
Seeing the guard standing where he was, the original guard guarding the door yelled for his attention, and then ran towards the tall archway and sword-holding tower in the front, where the heads of the four great families were also located. As well as some elders, famous and status people were watching the battle. Downstairs, the guard was blocked by someone: "This is the viewing platform. Non-important personnel are not allowed to enter!"
The guard said anxiously: "I have something important to report to the head of the family!"
"Oh, in that case!" The two guards at the door of the building looked at each other, and one of them pondered for a moment and said: "Is it important? If you don't have to report, you can wait until the game is over in the morning!"
The guard said: "It's urgent!"
"In that case!" The guard at the door of the building was also a decisive person, and immediately said: "I will take him upstairs first. You watch, no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the four masters!"
"yes!"
Immediately, the guard led the messenger and quickly walked towards the sword-holding building. The guard who reported the news kept urging: "Hurry up, faster!"
Seeing this situation, the guard knew that signing up as a guard must be really important, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace. After a while, he reached the third floor. When he arrived, two more guards stopped him: "The third floor is important, and no one can wait." Trespassing!"
The guard downstairs pointed at the reporting guard and said, "He has something urgent to report. Please inform the head of the family."
"Yes, please wait!"
The guard saluted and then trotted up. After a while, he ran down and said: "Ask the messenger to follow me, you just wait here!"
"Yes!" the man agreed. Then, the guard took the messenger and walked up. After a while, he came to the third floor. There were rows of tall chairs. The most conspicuous ones were the five in the center. The purple Taishi chair is entirely carved from ebony wood, exuding a faint scent of sandalwood. The chair handle is carved into a dragon shape. It faces the Tai Chi Square under the stage, which is the best position.
These five chairs are where the heads of the four major aristocratic families sit, but the middle one is empty. Normally, there is no such chair on the viewing platform of the four sects' martial arts competitions, but this time it was temporarily added. It was specially prepared for Min Rouran. Although he didn't come, it was still prepared. Moreover, it was slightly larger than the other four and the carving was the most detailed. I don't know how much effort was spent on it.
The guard led the messenger to one of the chairs and said: "Master, the guards from Tai Chi Square came to report that they found Mr. Min in Tai Chi Square, but he did not go upstairs. Instead, he went under the ring. ?”
"Oh?" Tantai Fu, the head of the Tantai family, was a middle-aged man with dark purple eyebrows. He was wearing a purple robe and looked calm and calm. He glanced at the guard and said, "Give it to me. Point him in the direction!"
"yes!"
The guard who reported the news hurriedly walked to the stage and held on to the railing. Soon after, his eyes lit up and he pointed: "It's right there, No. 8 Arena!"
Tantai Fu stood up, and sure enough, he quickly spotted the shadow of Min Rouran in the crowd. He was wearing a moon-white robe, and he looked like a young and handsome man. He didn't have the temperament of a mysterious scholar at all, but among countless Among the crowd, he can be seen at a glance, standing out from the crowd. It is his temperament that makes it impossible not to let people notice him. Everyone who sees him will involuntarily get out of the way. This is the demeanor of celebrities cultivated by those large sects. , how can an ordinary family cultivate such a temperament?
Tantai Fu turned around and looked at the guard: "What did he say when he came in?"
The guard hurriedly replied: "When my subordinates discovered Mr. Min's figure, they came to inform him and asked him to go upstairs. However, he refused and told me that he didn't need to go to the office. He just took a look casually and would formally discuss it tomorrow." Come to the stage to observe the ceremony. I don’t dare to make decisions privately. After Mr. Min leaves, I will come to inform you, the head of the family."
Tantai Fu's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he pondered for a moment, then looked back at the audience, and saw Min Rouran, who was very interested in the crowd, and then waved his hand and said: "You did a good job in this matter, very good. Since Mr. Min doesn't want anyone to disturb him, then you should just pretend that nothing happened and everything is as usual. Treat Mr. Min as an ordinary guest. Don't make any noise or go to spoil his mood. Everything is up to him. But pay attention secretly, and if anything happens, come over and report to me immediately, and get down!"
"Yes!" The guard was very uneasy at first, for fear of being blamed by his superiors, but when he heard the commendation, he was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I will do it now."
"Okay, let's go down!" Tantai Fu waved his hand, and the guard immediately went downstairs with the guard who led the way. After the two left, Tantai Fu turned his face and looked at the heads of the other three aristocratic families.
, Ye Tianwen, Luo Wushang, and Situ Jiu saw it and said: "What do the three of you think is good or bad when Special Envoy Min does this?"
Ye Tianwen, the head of the Ye family, who was dressed in green and looked like a scholar and celebrity, smiled and said: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Can we still influence Special Envoy Min's thoughts? So, it's not as good as anything else."
Let nature take its course, the head of the Tantai family has already done this, why bother asking again, it’s unnecessary!”
"Hehe," another person also said with a smile: "Exactly, we can't spoil Special Envoy Min's interest. He can do whatever he wants. It is probably his whim, so we don't have to get involved and make him unhappy.
, at the same time, with his eyes, he might actually be able to discover some talents. Take this time as an example, it is an unprecedented opportunity for our four families, and Zijing Valley even sent Mr. Min here, which shows that their
If it were the past, we would still be worried, but this time, our four families have many outstanding disciples, which have been rare in the past hundreds of years, but I am full of confidence!"
It is Luo Wushang, the head of the Luo family.
The head of the Situ family, Situ Jiu, was sitting with his arms folded and did not speak, appearing to be deaf. However, by doing so, he obviously acquiesced in the decision of the three masters.
"Okay, since everyone has the same opinion, let's do it like this. Let's continue to watch the battle and pretend we don't know!" Upon seeing this, Tantai Fu waved his hands and then sat back in his chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Si
Ceremony, announce the start of the game!"
However, his eyes never moved away from the young man in white, Min Rouran, who was among the crowd in the audience. And vaguely, the head of the Ye family, Ye Tianwen, and the head of the Luo family, Luo Wushang, were not staring eagerly at the person below.
Although the figure seemed to be looking at the entire audience, it kept following his movement, hoping that he could stay under a certain ring for a while longer. This ring was a disciple of his own family. Although Situ Jiujian had no expression on his face, he
He looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, but occasionally he opened and closed his eyes to lock the moon-white figure in the crowd. Although he didn't seem to be paying attention to the events in the field, his gaze
, but it has never deviated.
…
As a person stood up on the viewing platform and announced loudly that after the game started, thirty-six deacons and elders selected by the four masters came to their arena one after another, and everyone's expressions could not help but be solemn, because they all knew
, the battle begins.
The audience also began to get excited. This was a fight between three generations of disciples from the four major families. It was usually rare to see them. What's more, this time, there were even several Xuanshi-level disciples among the four families, making this fight very difficult.
The four sects compete in martial arts, which is more interesting.
Min Rouran stood up in the crowd, unmoved, and his eyes swept around randomly. Currently, he came to the No. 8 arena, Tantai Ziyue, although he knew that Tantai Ziyue was amazingly powerful.
, a little-known little family actually cultivated a top genius, but Min Rouran didn't know what her real strength was. He just wanted to see how powerful she was now.
Therefore, as soon as the referee started, Tantai Ziyue, dressed in purple, flew onto the ring lightly. However, his opponent did not emerge from the crowd tremblingly until the referee called for the third time. He raised his hands and said in a weak voice: "I admit defeat..."
