Chapter 383 The Competition Begins

In response to the master's questioning, Danya still did not reveal Ye Suifeng's information.

He just said that he met a stranger and then he fixed it in a short time.

The master was amazed and said that Danya was very lucky. The upper-grade earth-level inspiration was extraordinary. She must seize these last few days to take her understanding to a higher level.

Under the sighing gaze of her master, Danya left the courtyard and returned to her room.

"Miss, what happened to you today?"

Seeing Danya's absent-minded look, Xiaocui asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Danya responded softly, then closed her door with a bang.

Xiao Cui outside the door couldn't help but pout. Women's mouths are really deceiving.

It would be strange if nothing happened.

But the lady didn't seem to want to say more, and there was nothing she could do.

We can only wait for her to adjust herself.

Dan Ya walked into the room and came to the window again, holding her cheek with her hands, her face full of melancholy.

Just as Master said, the inspiration of the top grade earth-level is by no means idle.

How could Ye Suifeng, who could easily transform a damaged Xuan-grade Lingji Yu into a top-grade Earth-grade one, be an ordinary person?

She had seen some of the world, and she knew very well in her heart that such an existence was a core disciple even in the powerful Tiangong Pavilion.

If it were placed outside, it would be a popular commodity that all sects would be willing to fight for at any cost.

Not to mention the Yongxiang Sect, even the Qinglan Sect would make an exception for him.

Can such a person really walk on the same path with her?

Feelings are actually very strange.

When a person of the opposite sex of the same age is outstanding, you can't help but admire him/her and want to get closer to him/her. Sometimes you even fantasize about a bright future for the two of you.

The better he is, the stronger this feeling will be.

But when he is excellent to the extreme, far beyond the scope of ordinary people.

That feeling will fade away instead.

Admiration will gradually turn into admiration.

Although I still like her, that kind of liking no longer supports me fantasizing about our future together.

Because at this point you already understand in your heart that you are destined to be people from different worlds, and that kind of future is no longer possible.

Danya looked at the bright moon quietly, motionless.

After a long time, a cold wind blew in the middle of the night, blowing her bangs.

Danya let out a long breath and sat up straight.

At this moment, the melancholy expression on her face had gradually faded.

“Come on.”

She smiled with relief: "No matter what, it's a blessing to meet him."

“There will be more exciting things to come.”

Danya gently stroked Lingjiyu, then purified the altar and entered a state of cultivation.

The moonlight shone on her face, casting a soft glow.

Who hasn’t experienced love when they were young?

Decades later, no matter how entangled and painful it was at the time, looking back, it will be a beautiful picture.

...

Three days later.

The enlightenment competition of Siqingcheng officially begins.

The competition lasts for two days. The first day is the preliminary round and the second day will determine the final winner.

The ten most outstanding ones among them will not only be personally praised by the city lord, but may also be noticed by some powerful families or forces, and their career will be smooth sailing from then on.

All the young participants are ready to give their best performance in this competition.

"Master Ye, you should get up soon!"

Outside the room, Huang Xiaohan shouted at the top of her voice.

After a moment, the door was opened from the inside and Ye Suifeng walked out sleepily.

"Is dinner ready?"

He asked while rubbing his eyes.

Huang Xiaohan was furious and shouted, "Have you forgotten?"

"Today is the day of the competition. Everyone has already gone to Xingluo Lake."

"How can you sleep at a time like this?"

Ye Suifeng yawned loudly.

Sleeping is one of the greatest joys in life, so how can you not fall asleep?

But he did get up late today, because he stayed up almost all night last night and rushed out a thick book of secret skills.

Refined secrets.

Compared with the one left for Old Man Cui, this secret book is more profound and all-encompassing, enough to push Huang Qing's forging level to a top height.

Of course, in order to distinguish it from Mr. Cui’s book, he added the word “true” in front of it.

The true and refined secret.

Looks pretty cool.

"Go make me some food first, and then go after I'm done eating."

Ye Suifeng began to wash.

Seeing his unhurried manner, Huang Xiaohan stamped her feet, but still obediently went to prepare the meal.

About half an hour later, Ye Suifeng, led by Huai Gu and Huang Xiaohan, rushed towards Xingluo Lake in the center of Siqing City.

The Enlightenment Contest is held right there.

In fact, it is not just this time. All important events in the past were held in Xingluo Lake.

And I heard from Huang Xiaohan that many cities outside have the habit of building lakes in the city center. I don’t know where this tradition came from.

The foundry was not far from the city center, and it didn't take long for the three of them to reach the competition venue.

Looking around, there were crowds of people everywhere, as if they were attending a temple meeting.

Almost half of them are younger monks, most of whom are participating in this competition.

A rough estimate shows that there are nearly 10,000 people in total.

It really deserves the word "grand event".

"Let's go there!"

Huang Xiaohan pulled Ye Suifeng and weaved around in the crowded crowd, and finally came under a tall poplar tree.

The poplar tree is close to the lake, and there is a large sunshade under it.

"arrive!"

The three of them walked over.

There were a few people standing under the tent. Ye Suifeng recognized them as people from Tongji Foundry.

As one of the most powerful forces in Siqing City, the Foundry naturally has a special position.

After sitting down, Ye Suifeng looked around. There were many sheds like this one. Some were more gorgeous, and some even had pavilions built to attract people's attention.

On the lake, there was a floating ship with several flags with the word "Lucky" written on them fluttering in the wind.

"Master Ye, that is the Yongxiang Gate's building!"

Huang Xiaohan pointed at the lake, looking somewhat excited.

But Ye Suifeng was not interested in this.

"When does it start?"

There were too many people around and it was noisy. He didn't like this kind of environment very much.

"Noon officially begins."

Huai Gu said, "Master Ye, based on past experience, more than 90% of the contestants will be eliminated on the first day of the competition. You must be mentally prepared."

Ye Suifeng shrugged, indicating that it was nothing.

And luckily we didn't come too early. It's still more than half an hour before noon.

After waiting in boredom for a while, Ye Suifeng suddenly called Huai Gu over and asked, "Why isn't there anyone here to cause trouble?"

"For example, someone who doesn't like us, or a mortal enemy, comes over to mock us?"

He was really bored and wanted to wait for this kind of result to appear, but he never got it.

Huai Gu was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why would someone come here to mock us?"

"Everyone is concentrating on preparing for the competition, so it's unlikely that anyone will cause any trouble."

"And when choosing a location, everyone deliberately avoided their arch-enemies. We are surrounded by forces that have good relations with the foundry."

Ye Suifeng suddenly realized that this was the case.

"All right."

But then he changed the subject.

"Then why is that guy staring at us with ill intentions?"

He pointed to a two-story pavilion not far away.

On the second floor, a young man in elegant clothes was waving a fan and looking towards the foundry from time to time.

"Chi Yuheng?!"

Huang Xiaohan cried out in surprise, then gritted his teeth and said, "Master Ye, it was him who destroyed all of us that day!"

Ye Suifeng raised his eyebrows. It turned out that he was from Tiangong Pavilion.

"Master Ye."

Huai Gu whispered, "You still have to enter Tiangong Pavilion, so try not to have any unpleasant things happen to you and them."

Ye Suifeng glanced at him and said, "Am I the kind of person who would actively look for trouble?"

After saying that, Ye Suifeng looked at Chi Yuheng, who happened to be looking over at him as well, and their eyes met.

Ye Suifeng smiled friendly and slowly raised his hand.

Then, he made a classic international gesture.

"Rubbish."

He said silently.
