What kind of person is the man he has been looking for, who is rumored to be the young master of the Spirit Snake Realm?
If he were here at this moment, and saw the brows and lips of Palace Master Shenxue relaxed as she flipped through the intelligence, even if he was a man of iron with a heart of stone in his chest, he would probably be overwhelmed by this beauty like the moonlight.
Hu Mengzhi was slightly distracted by Han Qianling's change of expression, but he still hadn't forgotten his duty as a strategist. He insisted, "But regardless, Palace Master, it's illogical for Lord Suzaku to keep us this long without any information. These days, I've pieced together a map of Phoenix Palace and the city..."
Han Qianling gave a brief reply with a smile.
——He does seem to be in a good mood.
"There will be news soon, within three days." This almost conceited certainty made Hu Mengzhi feel a little frustrated. However, it was quite rare that the usually taciturn Palace Master Shenxue actually added with almost considerateness: "You can continue to collect information... as a hobby."
This kind of explanation, which was almost caring, almost made the hairs on Hu Mengzhi's back stand up.
"Palace, Palace Master..."
"It is said that the envoys from the four realms will meet each other before the gate opens." Han Qianling said softly: "If I urge Zhuque to hurry up, we can leave for the White Tiger Realm sooner, right?"
"..." Hu Mengzhi really hoped to get the news quickly, but for some reason, the word "urge" in the palace master's gentle tone gave him a subtle premonition of bad omen.
Just when he was in a dilemma, the clear voice of a messenger came from outside the door.
The entire Phoenix Palace was filled with a sense of justified arrogance. Even when reading out a summons, they didn't bother to gather these talented individuals and announce it publicly. Instead, they casually read it out outside the main hall. If anyone missed or misheard it, they deserved to be eliminated, no complaints.
Han Qianling listened attentively to the entire content of the summons without missing a single word.
"Gather at the Huayu training grounds. Six will be selected from the twenty-three." After repeating the order and listening to the neighbors quickly opening their doors, Han Qianling slowly said to Hu Mengzhi, "You're lucky. Now I don't have to rush you, and you don't have to wait."
————————
The outcome of this contest was inevitable.
Even though Hu Mengzhi often speculated about Han Qianling's racial heritage because of Palace Master Shenxue's overly confident attitude, he never had any doubt about Han Qianling's strength from beginning to end.
If the Lord of the North was not so powerful, why would he bring his entire clan to surrender?
The servants, usually as proud as ever-victorious peacocks, showed a rare look of surprise. As the organizers of the training grounds, they knew that the normal competition process would have taken at least a full day. However, due to the participation of the Lord of the North, the competition was compressed into a single morning.
When he spoke again, the waiter's tone had become much more humble: "Please follow me."
As the Grand Slam winner, Shenxue Palace Master Han Qianling would undoubtedly be the team's captain. Besides the remaining five winners, he could also select four more candidates to complete a ten-man team.
As long as they are under 30 years old, these four people can go regardless of their cultivation level. It doesn't matter even if he wants to carry a baby.
This is the absolute authority bestowed by Lord Suzaku on the Grand Slam winner.
However, the Palace Master of Shenxue Palace showed little reaction to this act of trust. His interest in selecting four more team members was almost non-existent. In contrast, he was more interested in something else: "After we gather our team, shall we visit the White Tiger Realm directly?"
What a well-informed source! The servant was secretly amazed. He answered truthfully, "According to the plan, the envoys from the Xuanwu Realm will arrive the day after tomorrow. You need to meet up with them and then go to the Qinglong Realm together."
"I see."
It was unknown what had touched the heart of Palace Master Shenxue with this answer, but he put his hands behind his back and looked as uninterested as at the beginning.
It's better to be calm. The servant comforted himself by saying: "It is said that people from the Xuanwu Realm have very bad tempers. The envoys from my Suzaku Realm must have the demeanor of a great realm and remain calm in the face of adversity. Only then can we control the situation."
But things don't go as expected——
The moment the Xuanwu Realm envoy arrived, even without the need for a servant to lead the way, Palace Master Shenxue's eyes met his from afar.
According to someone's later retelling, the moment their eyes met, their expressions were inexplicably similar.
Then, in full view of the crowd, the Black Tortoise Messenger quickly revealed a look of annoyance and displeasure, while Han Qianling said thoughtfully, "No wonder he made a mistake before. This really feels like—a first meeting. Hello, Nuzi."
The author has something to say: Qianling was unable to meet Jiujiang immediately, of course it was because of something the master did...
As for why the master gave him wrong information, it all came down to his previous provocation...
But why would Qianling lose his temper and take this opportunity to provoke? It's because he hasn't heard from Jiujiang in a long time and needs to vent his stress...
Conclusion: Luo Jiujiang, a sinful man (.
