After passing through numerous walls and dozens of doors, Sun Wei led his group into a palace.

The hall was spacious, and people were busy working inside, with dozens of people lined up in front. At this time, Xia Xiao and others walked in, and even though they were extraordinary, they did not attract their attention.

Standing in front of dozens of people, the person working there had a serious look on his face, like a cold piece of iron, as if announcing the difference of this place, telling everyone who came here, no matter what their identity, they had to line up!

This will be a boring process. Before that, Sun Wei stood outside the hall and said to the five people:

"Now that you have come this far, you have to rely on yourselves. Three days later, the selection of Wanling Valley will officially begin. There are many opportunities there. If possible, you should travel together."

Sun Wei's mission was completed, and he said goodbye to everyone. The five of them saluted together and said in unison:

"Farewell, Senior."

Along the way, Xia Xiao had to thank Sun Wei. Although the latter was subtle, he could feel Sun Wei's care for him. Although they were parting this time, they would have a chance to meet again.

In order to leave a good impression, Sun Wei prepared to leave when the five people lowered their heads.

Before leaving, he glanced at Xia Xiao with a complicated look. It took fifteen days to walk from Rongcheng to Wanling Valley, but it only took two days to get to the imperial capital. But if Xia Xiao couldn't get through Wanling Valley, or was plotted against by the people in the National Elderly Institute, he would never be able to go back in his life.

Xia Xiao noticed the gaze and when he looked up, there was only air in front of him.

"Let's go, get in line!"

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked into the hall naturally. But without Sun Wei, Lin Tian and the other two felt that something was missing, so they could only follow Xia Xiao slowly and prepare to go through the formalities.

Playing with the black iron token in his hand, Xia Xiao waited for his turn. But soon, sighs came from the people around him.

“Here they come!”

"As expected of a team from the Imperial Capital, they are truly powerful!"

"Look at the leader, Si Ying. He is indeed a member of the royal family. He is truly extraordinary."

…

When Xia Xiao heard this, he turned his head with some anticipation. Has the team from the imperial capital arrived?

Looking back at where I had walked before, I saw thirty people already there. This team was noble and majestic, and even though there was no formation to speak of, it was still intimidating. There was a flash of arrogance and coldness on their faces, as if they were disdainful of being compared with everyone present.

Some people in the palace who were not sure of their minds could not help but take a few steps back when they saw this. They could not afford to offend these people. This was a real famous family. Even in the imperial capital, they could cover half the sky with one hand!

As if sensing the fear of those people, the leader Si Ying raised his mouth slightly, revealing a condescending sneer. He was born noble, and in his eyes, everyone was an ant. The dust on these people made him feel sick, even nauseous! If it weren't for the strict rules here, Si Ying would definitely ask them to get out. He didn't want to see them, and didn't want to waste time queuing.

As he scanned the crowd, the long line gradually dispersed. These people were giving in, preferring to suffer losses rather than get into trouble. Even if they could escape here, they would not be able to escape their clutches in Wanling Valley. But since some people left, some stayed, such as... Xia Xiao!

When Si Ying glanced at Xia Xiao's face, he showed a strange smile, but it quickly turned into anger. Because Xia Xiao's eyes passed over him, as if ignoring him, and went straight to others! In Si Ying's eyes, this was disrespectful!

Xia Xiao saw him, a living person, it was not impossible that he didn't see him. Although they had never interacted, he was not a stranger, because he had seen him several times in the imperial capital. Moreover, in the Su family's letter, as the grandson of the great elder Si Buwen, Si Ying was the enemy who prevented him from entering the finals!

But now, Xia Xiao acted calmly and just looked at the woman behind Si Ying.

The woman was tall, fair-skinned, and serious-looking, like an iceberg. She was dressed in a black outfit and had short, pretty hair, like a female warrior who was as brave as a man.

"Su Huan."

Looking at the woman, Xia Xiao murmured the name, gradually becoming absent-minded, with some emotion in his eyes.

I saw Su Huan holding an umbrella in her hand, just like she did back then!

There seemed to be a loud sound of sudden rain in Xia Xiao's ears, knocking on him, trying to push open the door of nothingness.

Before my eyes, it was that heavy rain again.

In the dark world, only Su Huan held an umbrella for himself to protect him from the rain.

At that time, it seemed to be a black umbrella...

Ordinary women like all kinds of oil-paper umbrellas, which can be gentle and delicate, passionate and charming, or low and melancholy, and quite sentimental. But those fancy and fragile umbrellas are not suitable for Su Huan. Only this pure-colored leather umbrella is monotonous and resolute. Among them, the black umbrella is the best at concealment and can provide Xia Xiao with shelter in troubled times!

Entering the palace, Su Huan, who had an inexplicable obsession with umbrellas, put away the black umbrella in his hand. When he saw Xia Xiao, he raised his eyebrows, full of energy.

It has been five months since we last met in Longgang. Meeting each other in a place like this now is a kind of recognition.

Xia Xiao raised his right eyebrow and smiled, but Si Ying stepped forward and blocked his sight.

Seeing this, Lin Tian and the other two on the side stepped back slightly again, with some fear in their eyes. They didn't have the innate arrogance of Si Ying, nor could they learn it. But how should Xia Xiao deal with it?

Lin Tian looked at Xia Xiao, thinking of many ways to deal with him, but how should he use his tricks against someone like Si Ying? Reality, imagine it!

After glancing at Si Ying, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang turned their heads and prepared to continue queuing, not affected at all. This kind of courage made Lin Tian stunned in place, just like that? Not a word?

What could Xia Xiao and Si Ying have to say? But the latter would not give up. Xia Xiao was obviously trying to save his face!

“Ahem!”

Si Ying deliberately coughed twice, attracting the attention of everyone in the palace. They looked at Xia Xiao, as if they wanted to remind him, but they couldn't speak.

Among the more than 20 people behind Si Ying, many watched the excitement, some remained neutral, and some followed Su Huan, seeming to want to speak for Xia Xiao. But Su Huan shook her head slightly, signaling them not to take action. She also wanted to see how Xia Xiao would deal with the arrogant Si Ying.

The official sighed secretly when he saw the people behind Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. They were supposed to be the ones who organized the discipline, but they couldn't control this kind of guy because he was outside the jurisdiction of the discipline. But why didn't the two people in front of him get out of the way? The official was strange and tried to smooth things over.

"Your Highness Siying, please show your token."

The token in his hand fell and hit the table with a crisp and loud sound, but the two words on it were not Siying.

"Rongcheng Longgang, Xia Xiao!"

He was about to scold her, "How shameless? Don't you know I'm helping you out?" But when he heard the word "Xia Xiao", his face changed immediately. Xia Xiao?

The old clerk looked at the young man in front of him, somewhat unbelievable, but the young man spoke again with a cold tone:

"It has to be first come first served!"

The official reached out to take the token, but it hung in the air because Si Ying's face was cold and he said:

"What if I don't tell you?"

Si Ying looked at Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, who were slightly shorter than him, with a disdainful tone, but the two of them turned around at the same time, their eyes were like sharp swords, their pupils were like black ice caves, spreading a murderous intent.

Xia Xiao's momentum alone was naturally not enough, but Shu Shuang beside him became the focus. Many people didn't know who this girl was, but when Shu Shuang was about to put down Xia Xiao's token and take the token from Si Ying, she slammed her token on the table.

"Go to the church, Shu Shuang!"

Immediately, the whole place was silent, no one dared to say a word. It was because of this shock that Lin Tian wanted to get rid of her at the beginning...

Covering his face, Lin Tian sighed, thinking that he was still too young.

Go to the First Church? Just this quiet girl? Even though Shu Shuang looked fierce at this time, she didn't put much pressure on everyone. Among the dozens of people present, whose strength was not higher than that of the middle stage of Condensation? But her identity was still there!

He was helpless and frowned, then took Xia Xiao's token back.

Others are afraid of Shu Shuang, but Si Ying is not. He snorted and looked at Xia Xiao unhappily.

"A man relies on a little girl?"

Xia Xiao grinned and said something shocking.

"Your Si family dynasty still relies on going to the First Church to stop the war?"

As soon as these words came out, dozens of people present were all terrified. Although these words were true, wasn't it the same as going against the dynasty? How could Xia Xiao be so courageous? But looking at him, he was still staring at Si Ying, and there was no retreat in his eyes or steps. Some people can't be spoiled, otherwise he really thinks that everyone will follow his wishes.

Although Su Huan was standing behind Si Ying and couldn't see his expression, she smiled slightly and felt happy. She had long disliked Si Ying, and what Xia Xiao said was just right, which helped her vent her anger!

"How outrageous!"

Si Ying shouted like thunder, and the vitality of the Venerable Realm seemed to burst forth. But Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang remained calm, just smiled casually and turned away.

In such public places, whoever gets angry loses, and what he loses is his willpower and his face. Although the conversation is short, the winner is already decided.

The clerk quickly completed the formalities for Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, and handed them two booklets, wanting them to leave quickly. But when they picked them up and were about to leave, Si Ying's face turned grim, and the anger in his chest was about to explode.
