Chapter 90

When the game just started, Ji Mingqing understood the reason that Xu Yihe told him that everyone could see clearly.

Even though there was a distance between the venue and the audience, a huge projection image of the venue appeared in the sky, which was equivalent to watching a one-to-one live broadcast, and it was 3D. The entire image was magnified proportionally, and there was no difference from the real-life version.

Ji Mingqing suddenly felt that even if there was no high technology in the fairy world, this was cooler than high technology.

Just as the game was about to begin, Ji Mingqing heard a cry of surprise. He looked in the direction of the commotion and saw the man he had seen as soon as he opened his eyes in Kunze Palace.

"Wow, it's the Lord." This was the second time Ji Mingqing had seen the Lord's true face. Enlarged in the air, the Lord still looked as cold and majestic as ever. Suddenly, he thought of Xiaowan. He wondered if Xiaowan's everyday expression bore some resemblance to the Lord's.

The Lord had no expression on his face every time he met him both times, just like when he first met Xiaowan, Xiaowan also often had no expression on his face and looked at him with a frown.

However, the hair on Xiaowan's face mitigated some of the seriousness.

"Yes, the Lord hasn't appeared in the past few days. Today is the first time the Lord has appeared in the selection battle. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be so excited."

Ji Mingqing felt the enthusiastic cheers around him and suddenly felt a little dazed. He wondered how these people would react if they knew he had been in the same room with the Lord.

Just as his thoughts were racing, Ji Mingqing saw the Lord looking up in his direction. He even had the feeling that the Lord was looking at him. But a cry of surprise from beside him interrupted his thoughts.

"Ahhh! The Lord is looking at me!!!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Lord is clearly looking at me. Kunze Palace once sent someone to buy my Xuyan silk! The Lord must have recognized me!"

"Look at me, look at me! The Lord used to live near our village, and I even brought him water!"

It turns out that everyone has the same illusion. Ji Mingqing shook his head. Sure enough, the next moment the Lord's eyes turned to the competition venue.

Everyone on the playing field was lined up neatly, but all of them looked excitedly at the Lord who was standing on the sidelines. The Lord looked as if he was used to it. He looked at the pairs of eyes filled with admiration, and finally said nothing, but just nodded at them, and the people below burst into thunderous cheers.

Ji Mingqing didn't feel anything at first, but at this moment he was also infected by this emotion. He followed the voices of the crowd and cheered twice to the Lord. After a moment of silence, Xu Yihe, who was sitting next to him, asked thoughtfully.

"Boss Ji, what do you think of our Lord?"

Ji Mingqing felt that Xu Yihe's words were a bit strange, but he couldn't figure out what was strange about them at the moment, so he just followed Xu Yihe's question and answered, "Of course the Lord is very good!"

He felt that as a man, his charm was not even one ten-thousandth of that of the Lord, which not only hurt his self-esteem a little, but then he thought that the man was the Lord, and all the men in the entire fairy world might not be as good as him, so he could only think about it.

"You mentioned that even at the level of the Lord, does he still practice every day?"

"Of course." Xu Yihe said immediately, "The Lord not only practices every day, but also spends a lot of energy on patrolling the fairyland. There are even some trivial matters that need to be dealt with by him. Every day is very hard."

"You know a lot." Ji Mingqing looked at Xu Yihe in confusion, "Is this also news known to the entire Immortal Realm?"

Xu Yihe was suddenly stuck. He had forgotten that Ji Mingqing was so perceptive. Coincidentally, the loud gongs and drums on the field attracted Ji Mingqing's attention again.

The game has begun.

It was already the last level, and there were still about a hundred people standing on the field. When the drum sounded, everyone immediately scattered and looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone would attack them.

"They may be colleagues in the future. Won't such a competition create rifts?" Ji Mingqing said with some concern as he looked at the situation where everyone was fighting on the field.

"That's the only way to maximize everyone's potential. Look, some people over there have already started to work together. The people at the center are perfect for networking. And the players who are hiding out on the field, out of sight, are perfect for privately gathering information."

"What about Zhao Jingying?" Ji Mingqing asked curiously, "Look, he's not around anyone and can't turn invisible. His movements are even slower than those of the people around him, but he's a very good fighter. What do you think he's suitable for?"

"Then he'd be very suitable to..." Xu Yihe was about to say that Zhao Jingying was very suitable to serve under Cui Ding, but he quickly changed the subject and said, "Rumor has it that the Lord likes people like this the most. In the end, he will either join the army or stay in Kunze Palace to serve."

"Really? That's good." Ji Mingqing felt slightly relieved. He looked at the field and felt that Zhao Jingying's chances of winning were very high. Those people were neither his enemies nor his team-mates.

It seems that Zhao Jingying's popularity is really not that good.

As the game reached a fever pitch, Ji Mingqing watched as more and more people on the field fell to the ground. However, when some people were judged to have no attacking ability, they would immediately disappear from the field.

I guess it was Kunze Palace who took the people away to prevent casualties.

"How many people will be left in the end? There won't be only one left, right?" Ji Mingqing asked Xu Yihe beside him while nervously stuffing food into his mouth.

"How is that possible? There's only one person left, and there aren't enough people in Kunze Palace." Xu Yihe said casually, "Each selection will accept ten people."

"How many people sign up for each competition?" Ji Mingqing asked curiously without watching the previous competitions.

"There aren't many people in the Immortal Realm now. With only 20,000 or 30,000 applicants each time, it's not too fierce. Back when the competition was at its most intense, the number of applicants reached 100,000." Xu Yihe said with some nostalgia, "Back then, it was truly one in a million."

"It's not bad now..." Ji Mingqing sighed in his heart. This is even harder than taking the civil service exam. When he graduated, his mother wanted him to take the civil service exam. However, although the job of a civil servant was stable, the salary was not high enough. He was eager to make money for his family, so he reluctantly gave up the stable option.

He didn't take the postgraduate entrance exam or the civil service exam. He just found a job at a large enterprise and prepared to work 996 hours a day.

"Don't you think the Lord is always looking at us? Is he looking at me?"

"What's so beautiful about you, Master? I want to see you. If you want to see the women behind the Beauty Master, all of them are as beautiful as fairies."

"But we are celestial beings..."

Ji Ming listened to the discussion next to him and couldn't help but chuckle. Some of the words I'd used earlier were particularly appropriate here.

only……

Ji Mingqing raised his head and looked in the direction of the Lord, only to find that it was not like what the people next to him said. The Lord was not staring at him all the time. For example, when he looked up, the Lord's eyes were on the competition in the city.

But what that person said was true. The maids behind the Lord were truly beautiful and charming. Although these people looked gentle and kind, Ji Mingqing always had a feeling that he could not afford to offend them.

The people from Kunze Palace must not be underestimated. A seemingly weak female fairy might be able to beat you to a pulp with just one punch.

Ji Mingqing didn't dare to think too much, but Xu Yihe became interested after hearing what the person next to him said.

He touched Ji Mingqing's arm and whispered, "Which of the female fairies behind the Lord is the most beautiful?"

"Ah...ah?" Ji Mingqing was startled by Xu Yihe's question, and his ears instantly turned red. "They are all...all beautiful."

"I asked you to pick the most beautiful one. Look at that woman in green. Isn't she the most dignified and lovely? She...eh?" Before Xu Yihe could finish his words, he was pulled away by Cui Ding next to him.

"If you dare look at those fairies again, I will tell your sister everything you just said."

What Ji Mingqing didn't know was that the woman in green that Xu Yihe had just pointed at was his biological sister. However, the fairy girl in red holding a sword next to her looked very familiar to him.

"Huh? That person isn't..."

"Isn't that Yang Lingkong!" Ji Mingqing exclaimed, "Isn't that the grocery store owner, Yang Lingkong? Why is she standing behind the Lord?"

Xu Yihe immediately pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "No way? You must be seeing things, right?"

Standing behind the Lord were the guards of Kunze Palace. The female team were all standing in the stands, keeping a close eye on the situation in the competition venue, while the male immortals were responsible for the security of the venue.

Everyone working in Fengxi Garden had been reminded that they were not allowed to appear in Kunze Palace today, but unexpectedly they forgot about Yang Lingkong.

There was no way to justify this, the black phoenix on Yang Lingkong's shoulder was still standing there!

"Maybe she was summoned on short notice." Cui Ding heard Ji Mingqing's doubts and began to make up a story: "When we were in the army before, she often received rewards for her meritorious service, so maybe she was recalled this time."

"Oh~" Ji Mingqing understood. Yang Lingkong indeed had the temperament of a heroine.

Seeing that Ji Mingqing believed in Cui Ding, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time the game was gradually coming to an end.

"Zhao Jingying is truly amazing. At the very end, even with so many people ganging up on him, he managed to fight back without batting an eyelid." Ji Mingqing said, feeling sorry for Zhao Jingying. "If it were me, I'd be pissed to death right now."

"This is also part of the assessment. If he's truly furious, he'll definitely lose his composure on the field and easily lose." Xu Yihe analyzed, "Anyone who has made it this far is no ordinary person."

"That's for sure, Zhao Jingying is the best." Ji Mingqing looked at Zhao Jingying with shining eyes.

There is probably no hope of becoming a man like the Lord in this life, but if he tries hard enough, he might be able to catch up with a man like Zhao Jingying.

Ji Mingqing knew that he might be daydreaming, but he really wanted to become a master, a man as manly as Zhao Jingying.

He had a stomach damaged by hunger since he was a child and had never been able to gain weight. Even after he grew up, he had no time to exercise, so his thin figure has always been a concern for him. Do you think you can get fatter and stronger after becoming a god?

It turns out that no matter how much he eats, he doesn't gain weight. His body shape remains the same as when he was still a human, without any change. If Xiaowan hadn't told him that if he practiced diligently, there would definitely be changes, he would have made a fuss now!

"By the way, when I fainted before, did Xiaowan say anything to you?" Ji Mingqing suddenly thought of the disappeared Xiaowan. He asked curiously, thinking that Xiaowan might reveal some information to Xu Yi and them.

"How is that possible?" Xu Yihe said calmly, "If we talk about closeness, Xiaowan is still the closest to you. How can we know something that even you don't know?"

"That's true..." Although the doubts in Ji Mingqing's heart were not resolved, he was still in a good mood.

Xiaowan is naturally the closest to him.

"Then do you think Xiaowan is a player on the field?" Ji Mingqing opened his mind again, "Isn't it possible that when I go back later, he will suddenly tell me that he has been hired by Kunze Palace? If he works in Kunze Palace, he will definitely not return to Fengxi Garden in the future."

"Don't worry, there is no immortal beast transformed into a human on the field." Moreover, strictly speaking, Xiaowan is currently working at Kunze Palace.

At this moment, the ending drum sounded, and there were only ten people left on the field, and Zhao Jingying, standing in the center, seemed to have the most spare time.

Ji Mingqing was really happy for Zhao Jingying. Zhao Jingying worked so hard, and hard work paid off. Zhao Jingying's wish finally came true and he was able to join Kunze Palace.

"Wow, your friend is really good. He actually made it to the end on his own." Xu Yihe sighed. Although there is still a test of character at the end, he feels that Zhao Jingying will definitely pass it.

"Of course. I wonder if I can meet Lu Jiyao. I plan to invite Lu Jiyao to celebrate with Zhao Jingying."

"Then let's talk about it after we get back. The show is about to end, and spectators are not allowed to watch the final character test." After Xu Yihe finished speaking, he saw the Lord stand up from the stands and float towards the competition venue.

"Congratulations on passing the test of Kunze Palace." Bai Cangze stood in the center of the venue, exuding a sense of dignity that looked down upon everyone.

"Wow~" Ji Mingqing looked at the Lord's figure and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. This is too...

Ji Mingqing couldn't think of any suitable adjectives to describe the Lord in front of him. All he could think of was "The Lord is so handsome!"

Only when a god becomes like him can one feel that his life is not in vain.

As soon as the Lord made this move, Xu Yihe knew what he was going to do. In the past, after every competition, Bai Cangze would just turn around and leave, and would not even participate in the final character test. This time, he made such a move in front of everyone, obviously for one of them.

And this person was standing beside him with a longing look on his face, Xu Yihe knew that the Lord's trick had worked.

Most of the people present didn't hear what Bai Cangze was saying at all, and most of them just looked at Bai Cangze in a daze.

For example, the two people standing next to Ji Mingqing who were always talkative kept praising him from behind: "Your Excellency is so straightforward and handsome. No matter who stands next to you, they will be overshadowed."

"That's not necessarily true. Someone like you would be overshadowed standing next to the Lord. However, the other people from Kunze Palace standing next to him also have their own merits. Although they are not as handsome and elegant as the Lord, they are not bad either."

This time the two did not quarrel, but Ji Mingqing did not want to see how outstanding the other people in Kunze Palace were. All his attention was now focused on the Lord.

He has to take a closer look at someone he only looks at once every fifteen years!

Bai Cangze, feeling Ji Mingqing's gaze, finished today's lecture with satisfaction. Looking at Ji Mingqing's reaction, he really did the right thing today.

After Bai Cangze turned around and left, everyone began to prepare to leave one after another, and at this time someone called Ji Mingqing.

"Boss Ji, please come with us."

Ji Mingqian was startled when he saw the person coming. This person was wearing the uniform of Kunze Palace. What was he doing looking for him?

"I'm sorry, there are some things we can't disclose, but it was someone from above who asked us to take Boss Ji back to where we were last time. We don't know the rest."

Ji Mingqing looked at the person in front of him hesitantly. He turned back to look at Xu He for advice, so Xu Yihe comforted him, "Don't worry. No one in the entire fairy world dares to imitate the uniforms of Kunze Palace. I guess someone really came to you to discuss the last matter."

The person who came to pick up Ji Mingqing didn't expect that Ji Mingqing was worried about this. He immediately took out his Kunze Palace ID card and said, "Don't worry, I am indeed affiliated with Kunze Palace. This time, I did receive a request from my superiors to pick up Boss Ji."

After saying this, he took advantage of Ji Mingqing's hesitation and winked at Xu Yihe behind him.

Xu Yihe understood, "If you're worried, do you want me to go with you?" Xu Yihe said understandingly.

After listening, Ji Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"Forget it. I am the only one who knows my own affairs best. Since they won't kidnap me, there is no other problem." After making the decision, Ji Mingqing raised his head and smiled.

"When you go back, check to see if Xiaowan is there. If he is, tell him and I will go back to find him as soon as possible."

"Okay." Xu Yihe agreed to the matter, but he didn't know that Yin Fuzhang next to him had been eavesdropping on their conversation.

When Yin Fuzhang saw someone wearing Kunze Palace uniform coming to find Ji Mingqing, he felt a little nervous, fearing that he had contact with someone from Kunze Palace.

Unexpectedly, it was "something to find him for". What could Kunze Palace want to find Ji Mingqing, the new little god? It must be after he destroyed the tree core that day that Kunze Palace thought of how to make Ji Mingqing pay compensation.

The tree core is important, so compensation must be decided carefully. Yin Fuzhang felt that he saw through Ji Mingqing's anxiety, so he stepped forward, put on the attitude of an old senior, and said to Ji Mingqing, "Boss Ji, if there is anything you need help with, you can come to me."

“Although I don’t have many immortal stones, if I can help Boss Ji, then I’ll have a place to spend them.”

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ji Mingqing suddenly showed a touched expression. He stepped forward and grasped Yin Fuzhang's hand. "It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to help someone in need. Boss Yin, you really understand the righteousness of the matter."

Seeing that Ji Mingqing didn't show the reaction he wanted, Yin Fuzhang felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment Ji Mingqing said, "Then can you give me 10,000 immortal stones now?"

Yin Fuzhang immediately pulled away the hand that Ji Mingqing was holding, and said, "Sorry, something seems to be going on at the stall outside, I have to go and deal with it right away." After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

"Really? He actually wants to kick someone when he's down, without even considering whether he can lift the stone." Ji Mingqing snorted coldly as he looked at Yin Fuzhang's back.

Then he turned around and said to the guide from Kunze Palace, "Let's go now."

The competition venue was a bit far from the palace where Ji Mingqing lived last time. The guide even asked Ji Mingqing if he needed to prepare a Duanyun car, but Ji Mingqing refused.

But halfway through the journey, Ji Mingqing suddenly felt a little regretful. He tentatively asked, "Can we fly over there?"

"I'm afraid that won't work," the guide said. "Except for the competition venue, flying is prohibited in all other places in Kunze Palace. Even birds and beasts must walk."

After listening to this, Ji Ming exclaimed, "Huh?" He was a little confused. Why didn't he let the bird fly?

When the guide saw Ji Mingqing's expression, he knew what was on his mind. Unfortunately, even he didn't know why flying was prohibited in the area of ​​Kunze Palace.

"Okay, this is it. I'll take my leave now." After sending Ji Mingqing to the door of the Lord's bedroom, the guide bowed and left.

After Ji Mingqing knew that this was the master's bedroom, he didn't dare to walk around. He could only stand still at the door of the bedroom. He was even prepared that if the master didn't show up for a long time and he got tired of standing there, he could just relax within the four bricks under his feet.

Unexpectedly, before he could carry out his plan, the door of the bedroom slowly opened in front of Ji Mingqing.

"Come in, what are you standing at the door for?"

After hearing this, Ji Ming did not dare to delay and immediately walked towards Qin Palace. However, he tripped over the threshold because he ran too fast.

As he fell from the air to the ground, Ji Mingqing had only one thought in his mind, that is, he was going to be embarrassed in front of the Lord for the second time when he met him.

I wonder if there is any suitable place for seclusion after he returns, where he can stay out of sight for hundreds of years.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Ji Mingqing felt his body lighten and he flew forward uncontrollably.

What Ji Mingqing never expected was that he thought he was about to come into close contact with the ground, but the next second he was lying on the Lord's bed.

While awake!

This was even more embarrassing than falling to the ground!

The next moment he heard Bai Cangze's cold voice: "Why are you so careless?"

Bai Cangze felt that his previous move was truly a stroke of genius. He actually wanted to support Ji Mingqing directly at the door. Ji Mingqing would definitely feel embarrassed, after all, the two were not familiar with each other.

The place in the whole house that Ji Mingqing was most familiar with was the carved bed where he had slept for six days, so Bai Cangze suddenly had an idea and moved Ji Mingqing onto the bed.

This way, Ji Mingqing won’t get hurt or nervous.

Bai Cangze silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

but……

"Why do you hide your head in your arms?"

Bai Cangze couldn't understand why Ji Mingqing was so shy this time?
