Chapter 12: You're the dog, the watchdog!

  "Nothing, you seem very happy!" asked Leng Ruoxue with some ill intentions.

  "Xiao Xue, our master is just like this." Bing Qi said somewhat disapprovingly, sighing that after all these years, the master's personality of fearing nothing but chaos had not changed one bit.

  "Hmm, I see." Lan Ruoxue nodded solemnly, but in fact, the master and servant were both not much to speak of.

  "Xiaoxue, you have to protect me." Bing Qi said pitifully, with sparkling tears in his big icy blue eyes.

  "Do you need me to protect you?" Lan Yu's eyes turned cold as she gazed at Bing Qi, somewhat speechless. A ninth-level super divine beast was actually seeking protection from her, a small and low-level Xuan Master? What kind of joke was this?!

  "Whatever! Fighting isn't my specialty." Ice Qi said with a straight face and without batting an eyelid.

  "It's clear that you two are best at stirring up trouble and causing chaos!" Leng Ruoxue said bluntly.

  "Xiaoxue, you really understand us," Bing Qirong said proudly.

  "Yes! You demon, let's go back!" Leng Ruoxue turned her head to look at the demon, saying somewhat helplessly.

  "Alright, let's go back! Grandfather and the others are probably getting anxious." The demon smiled lightly.

  After settling the bill, the three of them walked out of the carefree building and returned to the Xuan Shi General Assembly.

  The residence of Leng Ruoxue and others.

  "How come that little girl hasn't returned yet?" In the living room, Lan Meng was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.

  "I said blue will grow! Stop turning around, okay? I'm dizzy!" The old man said somewhat helplessly.

  "That girl has been out for several hours and still hasn't come back!" Lan Meng said anxiously.

  "Xue Er is already so big, can't get lost." Leng Qing Tian said nonchalantly, thinking to himself, you have no idea about the influence of my granddaughter, otherwise, it would be enough to scare you to death.

  "I'm not afraid of losing her!" Lan Meng said somewhat irritably.

  "Lan Hui Chang, you're calm, Xue Er will be back soon." Lin Liang also couldn't help but advise, "Hey, it's just the game being advanced, what's the big deal?"

  "We're back!" Lin Liang's words had just fallen when a cold voice sounded in their ears.

  "Little girl, you've finally decided to come back." Lan Meng said with a deliberately stern face, somewhat displeased.

  "What's wrong? What happened?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, looking at Lan Meng's expression with some confusion.

  "Uh, the match that was originally scheduled for three days later has been moved up to tomorrow." Lan Meng explained with a furrowed brow.

  "What's going on?" Leng Ruo Xue calmly asked, sighing. She thought something big had happened! It seems Sun Meilin is quite quick!

  "How can you not be surprised at all?" Lan Meng looked at Leng Ruo Xue's calm face, very puzzled.

  "What's surprising about it?" asked Leng Ruoxue without answering.

  "It's you, you're too impulsive! The quality of the current Xuan Shi Gong Hui is really too poor!" At this time, Ice Qiu spoke up, with a look of dissatisfaction on his small fluffy face.

  "Huh? Where did this little dog come from?" Lan Ming's forehead dripped with two drops of cold sweat, his heart feeling extremely stifled. He was actually being told by a small dog that he was "too not calm"!

  "You're the dog! What kind of eyes do you have? Are you as majestic and powerful as I am?" Ice Ky asked with a slight raise of his eyelids, looking very displeased.

  “……”

  Blue sky is speechless. This small beast that can be held in the palm of one's hand dares to say it is powerful and majestic? What about other beasts then?

  "Xiao Xue, the quality of the Xuanshi General Assembly still needs to be improved!" Bing Qi said with a heavy heart. The vice president of the grand general assembly was not even a Xuanshi, which was truly disappointing. To think that thousands of years ago, those ordinary elders of the Xuanshi General Assembly were all at the level of Xuanshi!

  "Hmm, mainly because the president of the student union is too irresponsible." Leng Ruoxue said coldly.

  "Where is he? I'll go bite him!" Ice Cream shouted angrily.

  "Calm down, how can you bite people casually!" Leng Ruo Xue's forehead was filled with black lines, it was the first time she had heard that super divine beast battles were fought by biting.

  "You want to bite my master? With those teeth of yours?" Lan Meng sized up Bing Qi, his face full of skeptical expressions!

  "What? You want to try it?" Bing Qi said with a somewhat unpleasant tone, hum! It hated the most when others doubted its words!

  "Bing Qi, give me some face and don't bite him for now. Wait until the competition is over." Leng Ruo Xue pleaded very kindly.

  "Hmm, I will definitely give Xiao Xue's face." Bing Qi said with a understanding tone.

  "I'm telling you, can't you just not ignore me?" Lan Meng said with a low growl, "Wooo... First, he said he wanted to bite his master, and then he said he wanted to bite him. What is this little dog doing to them as their master?"

  "Not allowed, you'd better behave, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Bing Qi said with great displeasure, now the situation of the Xuan Master's sect made it very dissatisfied, hum! Those who can't manage the sect properly should all die!

  Ugh... He was actually threatened by a little dog, Lan Meng is so frustrated! And that little dog happened to be brought back by Xiaoyao, if it were someone else's, he would have dealt with it severely...

  "Bing Qi, they are my family." Leng Ruo Xue suppressed her smile and introduced Bing Qi to Grandfather and the others.

  "Oh, Xiaoxue, you have so many family members! What are their names?" Bing Qi asked with curiosity, her big icy blue eyes wide open.

  Leng Ruo Xue met Bing Qi's request and introduced Grandfather and others to Bing Qi one by one.

  "Little Tian, Little Liang, Little Tou, Little Jiu, Little Jin, Little En, hello! Don't be afraid of me, you are all Xiaoxue's family members, I won't bite you." After calling out each of their names, Bing Qi saw that they looked slightly surprised and couldn't help but comfort them.

  “……”

  Suddenly, the room fell silent...

  Except for Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao, everyone else fell into a daze...

  "Huh? Xiao Xue, didn't I scare them off? I really won't bite people randomly." Bing Qi said somewhat dejectedly, hadn't he already explained that to them just now?

  "That... Ice Cream? Can you, don't call me Little Head?" The old man said after coming to his senses.

  "Why? Didn't you call him old man?" The question mark was written in Bing Qiluo's icy blue eyes, hadn't he called it correctly?

  "I'm not old!" The old man couldn't help but protest. In fact, he also had a name, it's just that no one had called him by it for many years.

  "Little Snow?" Bing Qi's puzzled gaze turned towards Leng Ruo Xue.

  "We all call him old head." Leng Ruoxue explained.

  "Oh, so you're Xiao Tuo Tuo!" Bing Qi's mind was made up and wouldn't be changed.

  "Haha! Xiao Toutu, this name is pretty good!" The old man couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Is that so! Much better than your little trouble!" The old man didn't even raise an eyebrow, and a cold sentence floated over.

  Those present, including Leng Qingtian, were suppressing their laughter, their faces flushed red, and at the same time, they were all secretly relieved in their hearts, "Fortunately, they usually call each other by name."

  "Bing Qi, he is Lan Ming." Leng Ruo Xue continued to introduce, at the same time, she was also very curious, what would the Great Elder of the Feng family be called by Bing Qi? Eh! Where did the Great Elder go?

  "Oh, Xiao Lanlan!" Bing Qi suddenly realized and said.

  Xiao Lanlan! It's okay, it's okay, after all, it's better than Xiao Toutu and Xiao Zaizaizi! Blue Ming let out a sigh of relief and said in his heart.

  "Grandfather, where is the elder?" Cold Snow turned her head and asked her own grandfather.

  "He's cultivating his Xuan skills in his own room!" Leng Qing Tian explained.

  "Oh! Right, Xiao Lanlan, what's the schedule for tomorrow's match?" asked Leng Ruxue with a playful tone, imitating Bing Ji's way of calling out.

  "Tomorrow is the preliminary round, a match that determines victory or defeat. The winner advances, and the loser will have a chance to play in the next additional match." Lan Meng explained.

  "Is there only one match?" asked Leng Ruoxue, who couldn't help but wonder. With at least a hundred divisions on the Haotian Continent, if they had one match per day, when would it end?

  "Tomorrow, there will only be one match." Lan Meng said. The Xuan Shi matches were extremely intense and often resulted in casualties, so they could only schedule one match per day to give everyone sufficient rest time.

  "How many people were there in total?" Leng Ruo Xue continued to ask.

  "The exact number will be known tomorrow, but there are 120 Xuan Shi divisions in the vast continent of Haotian. Each division usually allows only ten people to participate in the competition, but some larger divisions can send fifteen people to participate. Divisions with too few people are also allowed to abstain, and the minimum number of participants is five people, so it's impossible to estimate the number now, but it shouldn't exceed 1,500 people." said Lan Ming Dao.

  "How much longer will this match last?" Leng Ruo Xue continued to ask.

  "The previous week's match had a larger number of people eliminated, so the competition was relatively easier. The real excitement lies in the later matches, and it gets more intense as you go further!"

  "Also, I'd like to remind you that the Xuan Shi tournament allows for casualties and often someone will secretly sabotage others during the competition, so be careful!" Lan Meng reminded with some concern.

  "How could an official match allow such a dirty trick?" Ling Ruo Xue really couldn't understand.

  "In order to select a more excellent Xuan Shi, no one will mind a little loss. Moreover, in a world where the strong are respected, if you can't adapt to the rules, you'll be eliminated by the rules. This is also the main reason why Xuan Shi's identity and status are so noble. Furthermore, all Xuan Shi who have been selected through competition can be said to be among the best of men, and their future prospects are boundless." Lan Ming explained.

  "That's to say, in the competition, I can openly settle my personal vendetta!" said Leng Ruoxue calmly. No wonder Sun Meilin said "I hope to meet her in the competition", it seems that Sun Meilin has made up her mind to get rid of her.

  "The purpose of the competition is that no matter what means are used, winning is the only truth. If there are personal grievances between two opponents, they can be resolved on the field, and in any case, it will not be questioned." Lan Meng replied honestly, although he was unclear why Leng Ruo Xue asked this way.

  "Little Blue, Zhou Kun's guild should have about fifteen people going to battle, right?" Although Cold Snow said it as a question, her tone was very affirmative.

  "Zhou Kun's union has arrived with twenty people, but there should be fifteen who will actually fight." Lan Meng nodded slightly and said, "Ah! What he fears the most is that Leng Ruo Xue and others will encounter Zhou Kun's people, because those people really make him uneasy."

  "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you into battle." Bing Qi said with a reassuring expression.

  "Can I bring my pet?" Ling Ruo Xue asked in surprise.

  "It's fine." Lan Meng nodded, sighing. Allowing personal vendettas was already permitted, so what did bringing a beast pet along matter?

  "That's good." Lan Ruoxue said with satisfaction. What she lacked most now was money, but what she didn't lack were beasts, and there was even a self-willed ninth-level super beast willing to be her hatchet man, heh! That was equivalent to having an existence like Xuanzun!

  "I have no more questions, let's get some rest early today!" Leng Ruo Xue asked and then went to sleep.

  "Wait a minute, Xiao Xue, we still need to discuss our tactics!" Lan Ming also called out in imitation of Bing Ji.

  "Tomorrow is just the first game, what's there to discuss? Sleep is the most important thing. Xiao Lanlan, calm down and don't be too nervous." Leng Ruoxue comforted, then pulled the demon king back to their room to sleep.

  "Yatou is right, Xiaolanzhuang, calm down!" The old man said with a smile and then ran away quickly.

  "We're also going to sleep, Little Blue. You should rest early too." Leng Qingtian and the others almost said in unison.

  Watching people disappear in the blink of an eye, Lan Meng was depressed and summoned Jin Hui.

  "Jin Hui! You say I'm not in a hurry to be the emperor, but the eunuchs are in a hurry! Those who want to participate in the competition are all acting like nothing's wrong, but I'm worried sick." Lan Ming poured out his troubles to his beast.

  Jin Hui glanced at his master and thought to himself, "Master, you know too!" But on the surface, he still had to comfort him by saying, "Master, those people are just being cautious, don't worry too much about it."

  "Alas! You're right, forget it! I'm going to sleep!" Lan Meng said as he stood up.

  The next morning.

  Leng Ruo Xue hadn't fully woken up yet, but vaguely heard the sound of quarreling coming from beside her ear, and very reluctantly opened her eyes to glare at the culprits!

  "What's all the noise about so early in the morning?" Cold Snow asked with a displeased expression on her face, she was not a morning person.

  "It wasn't me who made a fuss, it was the master." Bing Qi very unrighteously immediately sold out the master and cleared himself.

  "Bing Qi, it's obviously you who was making a fuss about wanting to eat something, yet you're blaming me for it... Waaah... How did I end up with such an animal that makes our master take the blame?!" Wu looked at Leng Ruo Xue with an innocent face.

  "Hmph! You're all the same, just trying to get something to eat. No need to wake him up for that!"

  "Xue Er!"

  "Xiao Xue!"

  The master and the beast both blinked their beautiful blue eyes, gazing at her adorably.

  "Didn't I leave you a lot of food before I went to sleep yesterday?" Leng Ruo Xue said with some headache.

  "It's all gone." The host and beast said in unison, surprisingly in sync with each other.

  "Little Snow, my master and I caught a lot of snakes. Can you cook them for us to eat?" Bing Ji's face was filled with anticipation, his blue eyes sparkling brightly... Yesterday, Little Snow had cooked snake meat for them, and it was incredibly delicious! He had lived for thousands of years, but never knew that snakes could be so tasty. Just thinking about it made his mouth water uncontrollably.

  "Have you guys gone out?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with a suspicious tone on her face.

  "En, let's go catch snakes." Bing Qi rubbed against the cold and snowy, yet tender and smooth arm of Xue Nai, with a slightly flattering tone.

  "What about the snake?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some curiosity.

  "Here." He hastily handed over a pet ring.

  Leng Ruo Xue took over the ring, and her consciousness went in...

  "This... is the snake you've caught?" Leng Ruo Xue's forehead was covered in black lines, her heart was churning with anxiety. These two guys wouldn't have caught all the snakes on the Kunlun Continent, would they?! And to make matters worse, the snakes they'd caught were still alive, and even the weakest one seemed to be a divine beast...

  "Yes! Didn't you say that the stronger the snake's strength, the better its meat tastes? So, those below the divine beast are not worth catching." Wu said hastily, as if offering a treasure.

  "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, these stinky snakes won't dare to bite you, they're all very well-behaved. Actually, I originally wanted to kill them all, but the master said that living ones are fresher." Bingji added, with a proud expression on his fluffy little face.

  "What's new?" At this time, the demon also opened his eyes and asked somewhat puzzled.

  "Look for yourself!" Leng Ruo Xue was truly speechless, sigh! These two gluttons!

  "How are there so many snakes? Where did they come from?" The demon took the ring handed over by Xue Er, and said in a somewhat stunned manner.

  "Xiao Chenchen is what I caught with Master, how's that? Is this enough to eat now?" Bing Qi said happily.

  "This is enough to eat." The demon's extremely handsome face was full of helplessness, it was no longer a question of whether there was enough to eat or not, but rather that eating so much would be unbearable!

  "Heh heh!" Ice exclaimed with a pleased smile.

  "Monster, let's pack up and go out!" Leng Ruoxue said to the monster, Grandpa and the others should have gotten up already.

  "Hmm." The demon nodded and the two of them tidied up before leaving the room, with Wu Xian naturally following close behind.

  "None, I'll find a time to introduce you to my family!" After leaving the room, Leng Ruo Xue glanced at Wu who was following them and said, "Wu Ruoyi, if you really want to follow us, you can't always be in hiding, right?"

  "It's possible, but I don't want the people in the headquarters to know of my existence." He nodded slightly.

  "Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly.

  In the courtyard, Leng Qingtian and others had already prepared breakfast.

  "Xue'er, you're just in time! Come and have breakfast quickly!" Leng Jing Tian hurriedly called out when he saw his beloved granddaughter.

  "Grandfather, where's Lan Meng?" Cold Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao found a place to sit down, but they didn't see Lan Meng anywhere. She couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "He went to the competition venue early in the morning and said he was going to draw something." Leng Qingtian explained.

  "Oh, grandpa, I'd like to introduce someone to you." Leng Ruo Xue said, taking advantage of Lan Meng's absence. Who let it be known that Wu didn't want anyone to know about Master Xuan?

  "What's going on? Xue Er, why are you being so mysterious?" Leng Qing Tian's curiosity was piqued and he couldn't help but ask.

  "No!" Leng Ruoxue looked at Wu.

  He didn't have a meeting intention, so he directly appeared in front of Leng Qingtian and others.

  "Xue Er, he..." Leng Qing Tian and the others stared at the young man who suddenly appeared before their eyes, their jaws dropping in shock!

  "Grandfather, he is the owner of this house, but the people from the General Assembly don't know about his existence. Moreover, he doesn't want them to know either, so you all have to keep this secret." Leng Ruoxue explained.

  "Oh, okay." Leng Qing Tian reacted and hastily responded, but his gaze couldn't help but secretly size up the man named Wu. He couldn't see through this man's cultivation at all, and the man in front of him also gave him an inexplicable, strange feeling...

  "He is the master of Ice Kylin." Cold as Snow added.

  "Ah!" Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that little blue dog would follow Cold Snow around!

  "After this, no one will follow us." Leng Ruoxue continued to throw out a grenade.

  Everyone was shocked again and looked at Leng Ruo Xue in unison, until they were certain that she was serious.

  "Oh." Leng Qingtian responded on behalf of everyone, although he didn't know Wu's identity, but he trusted his granddaughter's judgment.

  "Xiaoxue, can we eat now? I'm so hungry." Ice Kui said pitifully after waiting for too long.

  "Let's eat!" Leng Ruo Xue nodded, sighing. The foodies around her were getting more and more numerous.

  "Huh, aren't you eating?" Leng Qingtian asked, seeing that everyone else had already started eating, but Wu hadn't moved his chopsticks, and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

  "I'm not hungry, you guys eat!" He said lightly, with a smile still on his handsome face. Earlier, he had taken in everyone's reactions and was very satisfied with them. After all, those people didn't know his identity, yet they were still willing to accept him - this must be Snowy's doing! It wasn't that they believed he wasn't a bad person, but rather, they trusted Snowy's judgment more.

  "Grandpa, he's a carnivore." said Leng Ruoxue with a sneer.

  "Oh, we usually have a light breakfast, and only eat meat at noon and in the evening." Leng Qingtian explained.

  "It doesn't matter," Wu said with a faint smile.

  "Oh, don't be polite! Do as you like, we don't have many rules here," said the old man.

  "I know." He said with a smile, if he wasn't very familiar with these people's temperament, he wouldn't have shown up.

  "You, do you know about the competition of the Mystic Sect?" Leng Ruoxue turned her head and asked Wu.

  "I know." He nodded silently, how could he possibly not know?!

  "Previous competitions were fair, that was the real selection of talents, but now the competition has lost its original meaning. However, the rewards for the competition are getting richer and richer."

  "Hmph, I'm only here for the reward, so those people had better keep their eyes open and not provoke me. Otherwise, I won't guarantee that I won't take drastic measures." Leng Ruoxue said with an overbearing tone.

  "Xiaoxue, don't worry, I'll help you. With me around, those rewards will definitely be yours." Bing Qi said with a strong sense of justice.

  "Xiao Bingbing, you're really something!" said the old man with a smile.

  "Little Ice!" Bing Qi was startled. It had been a long time since anyone called it Little Ice after it grew up, and it felt so intimate.

  "What? You don't like it?" The old man asked with some grievance, he didn't even mind the nickname Xiao Chui Chui!

  "No, I approve of you calling me Xiao Bing." Ice Ky said with a hint of satisfaction.

  "Oh, oh!" The old man nodded repeatedly in response.

  "Grandfather, Lán Míng is not here, how are we going to the competition venue later?" asked Lěng Ruò Xuě with some confusion, she didn't know the location of the competition!

  "Lan Meng told me when he walked away, we can just go over there." Leng Qingtian said.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly and continued eating the food in her hand.

  After finishing their meal and tidying up briefly, Leng Ruoxue and the others set off.

  After taking several turns, half an hour later, Leng Ruo Xue and others finally found the competition venue.

  The venue is not very far from the Xuan Shi General Assembly, but for those who go there for the first time, it's a bit hard to find.

  "Unexpectedly, this place has become a competition venue." Wu looked at the huge venue in front of him and sighed, "This used to be just a wasteland."

  "Let's go in!" said Leng Ruoxue, looking at everyone.

  Leng Qingtian and others nodded, just about to enter the door, but was stopped at the entrance.

  "Sorry, please show your ID." The guard at the door said coldly.

  "Is ID required for everyone?" asked Leng Ruoxue with a somewhat unpleasant tone.

  "Of course." The guardian replied.

  "Those people who went in before us, why didn't you ask them to show their ID as well?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some discontent.

  "They are the masters of Sunzhou City, I know them! Of course, there's no need for that." The guard said matter-of-factly, implying that he didn't know them.

  "Is that okay?" Cold Snow took out her own Xuan Shi identity certificate and waved it in front of the guard, asking.

  "You may enter," said the guard.

  The demon and others immediately took out their own ID cards...

  "You can go in, but you'd better keep an eye on your dog and don't let it bite people randomly. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!" The guard warned, glancing at Bing Qi who was lying on Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder.

  "You're the dog, a watchdog!" Bing Qi cursed loudly.

  "Haha! Xiao Bing, you're absolutely right! He's just a watchdog!" The old man laughed exaggeratedly, "Hehe, it's so satisfying to see Xiao Bing scolding someone!"

  Leng Qingtian and others didn't laugh as exaggeratedly as Old Man Zou, but they all had a pleasant smile on their lips.

  "But, Xiao Bing, let's just keep this between us, okay? We have to save some face for the guild!" The old man changed the subject and advised with a serious tone.

  "Hmm, you're absolutely right." Bing Qi nodded his small head very seriously and agreed.

  "You..." The guardian was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, unable to speak.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruoxue said indifferently, casting a cold glance at the guard. It wasn't worth getting angry over such a small fry.

  "Uh-huh." Everyone walked straight in.

  Although there were only a few small cats outside the venue, inside the venue was already packed with people, bustling and extraordinary.

  "Xue Er, it seems we've arrived a bit late." Leng Qing Tian gazed out at the sea of heads before him, his own head starting to ache. Now, he really didn't like crowded places one bit.

  "Grandpa, of course the best has to be saved for last!" said Leng Ruoxue with a mischievous tone.

  "Heh heh, Xiao Xue said it right, we absolutely cannot lower our status." Bing Qi praised.

  "You've arrived." At this time, Blue Mirage appeared in front of everyone.

  "Little Blue, your complexion doesn't seem too good!" Leng Ruoxue said with a teasing tone after glancing at Lan Meng.

  "I'm sorry to you all, I was really unlucky and didn't manage to draw a good opponent for you." Lan Meng said with some guilt, as Cold Snow and the others' opponents were very strong!

  "Oh!" replied Leng Ruoxue and others faintly, after that, there was no reaction.

  "Can't you react more enthusiastically? How come no one asks me, who is your opponent?" Lan Meng said somewhat dejectedly. The reactions of these people were really too strange, making him speechless.

  "What's there to ask? You'll know soon enough!" said Leng Ruoxue, suppressing a smile.

  "Little girl, don't you know what it means to know yourself and your opponent? Among the few of you, your opponent is the strongest." Lan Meng said with some concern.

  "It's more satisfying when it's a tough fight. I don't like weak opponents," said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Little Blue, every single person here can be taken care of with just one claw from me. What's there to worry about?" Bing Qi said somewhat disdainfully. Alas! It seems that the Mystic Sect is indeed in decline. Just now, it used its divine sense to scan the area and didn't find a single person who could match up to it.

  "Did you hear that? Xiao Lanlan, I have Xiao Bingbing here, everything is OK!" Leng Ruoxue comforted, since Bingji was willing to be the fall guy, then she naturally didn't need to expose her own beastly side!

  "Little girl, it's just a small dog, how can you put your hopes on it!" On Lan Meng's beautiful face, the three big words "disagree" were written!

  "Xiao Lanlan, if you're calling me a little dog, I'll bite you!" Bing Qi warned.

  "Ah! Sorry, I was wrong." Lan Meng hurriedly apologized, not wanting to be bitten by the dog.

  "Little girl, you really can't be too careless. Your opponent is Su Nan, one of the top ten geniuses in the Huatian Continent. His strength is very powerful, and his promotion to primary Xuan Master also took longer than yours. There are even rumors that he will soon be promoted to become a Grand Xuan Master." Lan Ming reminded, with a hint of worry in his eyes. Although Cold-as-Snow's talent was the best he had ever seen, she had become an Xuan Master too quickly, and in this regard, she couldn't compare to Su Nan at all.

  "Oh." A faint response came from Leng Ruoxue's cold and snowy demeanor.

  "Little girl, are you trying to drive me mad?" Lan Meng said with some annoyance, Cold-as-Snow's reaction was really making him feel helpless!

  "What do you want me to do then? Don't I already know?" asked Leng Ruo Xue somewhat helplessly, sighing. Men get more garrulous as they age.

  "You all be careful too, if you really can't win, then admit defeat! If you admit defeat, no one will dare to make a move." Lan Meng didn't want to bother with Cold Ruo Xue anymore and directly shifted his gaze to Cold Qing Tian and the others, continuing to remind them.

  "Lan Hui Chang, how can you be so lacking in confidence in us?" Leng Qing Tian said somewhat discontentedly. Although Lan Meng's words were for their own good, as a former great general, he really disliked hearing such morale-lowering words.

  "It's just that, although our strength is low, the strongest among those who participate in the competition are only one level higher than us at most. It's not like we're going to fight against a Profound Master, what's there to be afraid of?" Feng Jie, who rarely spoke, said. Perhaps their strength was not high, but these people were all seasoned veterans who had been through many battles. In terms of combat experience, they would not lose to anyone here. So, he was very confident about winning the first match.

  "Sorry, I was too worried, you guys keep going! The reward is already waving at you." Lan Meng said with a hint of guilt. Ah, the old ginger is still spicy after all! It seems that Jin Hui was right, these people are not worth his worry!

  "Haha, this is the right spirit!" The old man laughed and said.

  "Ah! Follow me!" Lan Meng nodded and led everyone to their seats.

  The seating arrangement is great, right in the middle of the stadium, with a broad view, and it will be clear to see, this is the only thought in everyone's mind at this time.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others sat down in their positions, patiently waiting for the match to officially begin.

  "What a coincidence, our seats are actually next to each other." Sun Meilin's voice was heard by Leng Ruxue and others, but unfortunately, her words did not get any response.

  "Xiao Xue, what's that smell? It stinks." Bing Qi, who had been leaning on Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder, slightly raised an eyebrow and asked with some displeasure.

  "I don't know! The air is bad here, just bear with it." Leng Ruo Xue suppressed a smile and comforted her. Alas! Now she knew why their location was so good - it turned out someone had deliberately arranged it that way!

  "I can't take it anymore." Bing Qi said impatiently, and at the same time, he surprisingly let out a sneeze, which coincidentally landed on Sun Meilin's body...

  In an instant, Sun Meilin, who had not reacted yet, directly crossed the railing that separated the audience seats from the competition venue and was sprayed into the inner court. Moreover, she was in a four-legged upside-down posture. Unfortunately, for her beauty, she was wearing a skirt, so now her inside and outside were clearly seen by everyone in the audience...

  Everyone who saw this scene was stunned at first, and then heard the joyful laughter and lively discussions that filled the entire arena...

  "Haha! That was a really enjoyable fall!" The old man laughed loudly without any politeness, tears of laughter streaming down his face.

  "This young lady from the Sun family doesn't have a good figure either! Look at that meat on her waist, it's almost as thick as mine!"

  "Her legs are quite thick and her chest is not big enough. It seems that this second beauty only has a decent face."

  "It was really worth coming today!"

  "Be careful what you say, or you'll lose your heads!" At this point, Zhou Kun glared at Leng Ruo Xue and the others, and loudly shouted towards the audience seats.

  Unfortunately, there were too many people in the audience and their discussions were very loud, so no one heard Zhou Kun's words.

  "Director Zhou, you'd better send someone to rescue your cousin quickly! If she stays there any longer, I'm afraid she won't be able to participate in the competition anymore. Alas, it's so cold on the ground!" Lan Meng reminded with a kind tone, but his face was filled with a delighted and mischievous smile. Hehe, Xiao Bing did a great job! He couldn't help but cheer for Xiao Bing in his heart!

  "You just wait for me, hum! The Sun family won't let you off." Zhou Kun threatened Leng Ruoxue and the others, saying that he led his men into the inner arena to rescue people.

  "Alas! We're being threatened again." Lan Ruoxue sighed lightly, saying somewhat helplessly.

  "Alas! Even cute little Bingbing is being threatened." Bingji also spoke in a cold tone like Leng Ruxue, but her beautiful blue eyes were filled with excitement. Hehe, she loved being threatened the most.

  "Are you two really afraid?" Lan Meng asked with some doubt, listening to their tone of voice, he couldn't hear any sense of fear at all!

  "Can't you be afraid? The Sun family! That's one of the three major families, a behemoth in the vast land of Hua Tian, and I'm just a small, low-level Xuan Master." Leng Ruoxue said very seriously.

  "That's right, I'm just a small beast, and the Sun family is not something I can afford to provoke." Bing Qi said with a frown, his expression very serious.

  You just pretend! Lan Meng was speechless, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He had never seen anyone like this little beast who could blow people away with just one sneeze! Sun Meilin was at least an elementary Xuan Master, not some paper-pasted fake!

  "Ugh... Xiaoxue, you have to protect me." Bing Qilu's eyes were filled with tears as she choked out the words.

  Leng Ruo Xue didn't say a word, but instead kept giving Bing Qi meaningful glances, trying to remind him that he was overacting. Hmm, it's about time to stop.

  "Xiao Xue, what's wrong with your eyes?" Ice Ky asked stupidly, his eyes welling up with tears.

  "Huh? My eyes are dazzled." Leng Ruoxue casually gave a reason, and sighed! She really didn't know now whether Bing Qi was clever or stupid.

  "Oh, the wind is a bit strong, be careful!" Yuki reminded.

  Alas! Lan Meng turned his head weakly, no longer looking at Leng Ruoxue and Bing Ji. Compared to those two cunning foxes, he was too tender, he admitted defeat.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, today, the grand event of our Xuan Shi General Assembly's five-yearly competition is about to officially kick off. This year, the number of participating Xuan Shi has broken a record, with the most participants ever. On behalf of the Xuan Shi General Assembly, I would like to extend my best wishes to each and every one of you for achieving excellent results."

  "In addition, I have some good news to share with everyone in advance. The champion of this competition will be accepted as a personal disciple by President Wu, so everyone should work hard! At this time, the host's voice came from inside the venue, and this also signified that the competition was about to begin."

  As soon as the host's voice fell, there was a burst of applause from the audience, and the representatives of the participating guilds were even more excited...

  "Xiao Lanlan, why didn't you tell me that the first place winner would be taken as a personal disciple by that Wu guy?" Leng Ruoxue said with some dissatisfaction. Humph! She wanted to be first, but she didn't want to become Wu's disciple. The thought of him being her master was unqualified.

  "I just found out too, but usually speaking, the champion of the competition will basically be taken as a disciple by the president of the General Assembly." Lan Meng explained.

  "Oh, it seems that this Wu is planning to replace him. Little Blue, if your master doesn't come out, you'll have to change your surname to Wu later on... no, I mean Sun." Cold Snow said calmly, revealing Wu's ambition and his close relationship with the Sun family!
