Chapter 581 Did You Seduce My Sister?
"What? What do you want this kid to do in your room at this time of night?"
Huo Lingfeng was shocked and asked quickly.
However, Huo Qinghuang just rolled his eyes, didn't explain, and just left.
Gone?
Just leaving like that?!
Huo Lingfeng's eyes widened and he grabbed Ling Xiao, "Boy, did you seduce my sister?!"
Ling Xiao: “…”
"Second Young Master."
Ling Xiao was speechless: "Is it possible that I just called her Master?"
"When did you become her disciple?"
Huo Lingfeng was even more shocked, "Why didn't we know?"
"That night."
Ling Xiao blinked, looking particularly innocent.
Huo Lingfeng: "..."
After a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You are lucky!"
"hey-hey,"
Ling Xiao touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.
The master is the number one human being in the contemporary world, so he is the one taking advantage of it.
…
Three days later, Huo Qinghuang gathered everyone.
"I'm going to stay in seclusion for a while."
She looked around at the group of rookies and ordered, "Fifth brother will stay in charge of the Huo family, Zhu Yan will assist, and second brother will concentrate on refining the elixir. As for the rest of you..."
She looked at the other young Taoist priests who were looking at her eagerly, "Practice on your own. If you have any questions, ask Zhu Yan."
"Of course, the three-month period cannot be shortened by a single day."
This is a rule set at the beginning and naturally cannot be broken.
"How long will you be in seclusion, Senior?"
Among them, Su Xin, the female disciple from Laoshan School, couldn't help but ask.
"It can be as short as three months or as long as half a year."
Huo Qinghuang said calmly, "During this period, you can practice in your spare time. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the Huo family without permission."
She had a cold expression on her face and did not show any friendly attitude just because the other person was a female cultivator.
Fortunately, Su Xin was not a sensitive person. After getting the answer she wanted, she retreated.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, everyone could only respectfully wish her to be released from confinement as soon as possible.
That night, Huo Qinghuang took the imperial green jadeite into the secret realm of time.
This piece of top-grade imperial green jadeite, which was more than a meter tall, had been placed in her bedroom. When she had almost absorbed all the spiritual energy from it, she put it into the Shenhuang Cave to absorb more spiritual energy.
I didn’t take it out until I decided to go into seclusion.
She set up a spirit gathering formation in the center of the secret realm and placed the jade at the center of the formation.
As the spirit gathering array was activated, the jade burst into dazzling light, and the spiritual energy in the array quickly condensed into liquid.
Huo Qinghuang took a deep breath and stepped in.
On the seventh day of Huo Qinghuang's retreat, a secret meeting was being held in the imperial capital.
Dragon Kingdom, the highest conference room.
"Everyone, the latest intelligence shows that Eagle Country has united with twelve countries and is preparing to forcibly restart the Superpower Exchange Competition."
Cheng Peng, director of the Special Operations Division of the National Security Bureau, looked solemn, "They are going to set up the venue in Longguo this time."
There was an uproar in the conference room.
Mr. Xu looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a frown on his face.
"This is a blatant provocation!"
The military representative slammed the table.
"Currently, seven countries have confirmed that they will send 'cultural delegations' to our country. On the surface, they are trying to have a deeper exchange again. The competition must have a beginning and an end. In fact, they are mobilizing more powerful psychics. It can be said that they have revealed all their trump cards."
Foreign Minister Xu Shuang pushed up his glasses and said, "If we reject it outright, it will seem unfair."
Cheng Peng nodded: "The problem is that Miss Huo is reportedly in seclusion and she may not come out within three to five months."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but frown.
Huo Qinghuang was the representative of Dragon Country in the last competition. If she didn't show up, wouldn't that be the same as admitting defeat?
"It's okay for Miss Huo to be in seclusion. We still have Ao Jiu. With him around, we can win the championship."
The military representative said disapprovingly.
"In my opinion, we should just refuse. How can we let them lead us by the nose all the time?"
A certain general snorted angrily and said.
"What on earth do these people want to do?"
A female minister frowned, "Do you really think we can't see their intentions?"
"They are testing."
The uniformed veteran said solemnly, "It's also applying pressure."
“Where does the pressure come from?”
Mr. Xu asked.
“The United States, the European Union, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.”
Cheng Peng said: "They united and tried to enter our country openly to find out our bottom line."
Mr. Xu sighed: "This is a game, we must handle it carefully."
"What are you afraid of?"
The uniformed veteran sneered, "If they dare to make a move, I'll be the first to go up and knock them down!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions varied.
Finally, the chairman made the final decision:
"Delegations from all countries are allowed to enter, but they must be monitored throughout the process. Any suspicious behavior will be severely punished."
"At the same time, we should elect our own representatives. We can't rely on those two little guys to hold the fort every time."
Old Xu looked out the window and muttered to himself, "I hope the Taoist sect can bring us a surprise."
A few days later, invitation letters from all over the world were sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Longguo.
These invitations were worded in a friendly manner and proposed to hold an "International Supernatural Exchange Competition" again, claiming that they hoped to enhance understanding and cooperation among countries.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
This is not a friendly match at all, it's clearly a collective test!
The contestants are still the same teams as before.
But a lot of fresh blood has been added.
The purpose of these contestants is very clear. It is not just to compete, but also to find out whether there are more "immortal cultivators" like Huo Qinghuang in Long Country.
Once confirmed, what will follow will be a series of blockades, sanctions, suppression, and even military intervention.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Longguo officially received a joint invitation letter from multiple countries.
Faced with this "International Superpower Exchange Competition", the top leaders of Long Country fell into a brief silence.
Finally, a brief official response was released:
"my country respects the willingness of all countries to exchange cultures and welcomes all legal and compliant international competitions. As for the specific participants, it will be decided by voluntary registration from the public."
The implication is very clear:
We don’t interfere, nor do we take the blame.
This piece of news was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing huge waves in the entire Dragon Kingdom's cultivation world.
The major Taoist sects, ancient martial arts families, and demon forces that had been keeping a low profile were all gearing up to show their skills in this grand international supernatural power exchange competition.
In the previous superpower exchange competition held in Country E, in order to ensure a safe victory in the championship, Country Long only sent Huo Qinghuang and Ao Jiu to participate.
Many practitioners have never left the country in their entire lives and lack understanding of the outside world. They are also worried about encountering accidents abroad.
But now that the competition is held in the country, they are all excited.
Almost all the sects are ready to move, especially those ancient sects with a long history, which finally have a chance to show their true strengths.
