Dongdong—

Just after Qi Huai and the others chatted with each other for a while, the final three of the individual competition of the Cultivation Conference were finally decided.

Of course, the ranking of the top three will not be finally decided until tomorrow.

Two of the top three were expected by most people, both of whom were well-known genius disciples in the aristocratic families, and the unexpected person...

"You guessed it a long time ago?" Gong Ming looked at the quiet and well-behaved girl in the final three below, raised his eyebrows slightly and then looked at Qi Huai with a calm face.

Just now, he talked to Qi Huai about the possible winner this time, and Qi Huai still looked like something would happen, and as a result, an unexpected person appeared. Gong Ming didn't believe this was a coincidence.

And it was that girl...

Gong Ming briefly recalled what he had learned from Qi Huai's memory when his memories merged with Qi Huai's.

He remembered that the girl's name was... Cheng Yuan?

Cheng Yuan was considered a member of the Qi family. She was the adopted daughter of the Qi family and was brought back to the Qi family by Qi Huai.

Originally, she would not have any contact with Qi Huai, the young master of the Qi family, but...

Gong Ming recalled the scene when Qi Huai and Cheng Yuan first met, and could not help but look at Qi Huai with an inexplicable expression.

As if sensing Gong Ming's strange look, Qi Huai turned around and explained helplessly: "Don't think too much, she has always been excellent, but she just lacks an opportunity, and this cultivation conference is just that opportunity."

Qi Huai knew what Gong Ming was thinking. Qi Huai and Rong Du were trapped in a valley due to an accident, and it was Cheng Yuan and her grandmother who helped them.

Although the scene was a bit awkward (Qi Huai helped Rong Du with his injuries, and was a little... um... disheveled), Qi Huai was still very grateful to Cheng Yuan and her grandmother.

So after Cheng Yuan's grandmother passed away, Qi Huai brought Cheng Yuan, who was only five years old at the time, back to the Qi family, and even sent someone to take care of her.

However, Qi Huai has not let Cheng Yuan participate in the affairs of the various families in recent years. He just hopes that she can grow up healthily and happily like an ordinary girl. Therefore, most people don’t know that Cheng Yuan is the adopted daughter of the Qi family. After Cheng Yuan became one of the top three this time, everyone was curious about her identity.

However, Cheng Yuan’s ranking this time was all obtained by her own strength, and Qi Huai did not interfere in anything.

"Oh." Ning Yi on the other side looked at Cheng Yuan below and suddenly said, "I heard that some people thought she was your daughter?"

"Hey!" Qi Huai looked at Ning Yi helplessly with his eyes wide open, "I said it was a misunderstanding."

When Qi Huai brought Cheng Yuan back to the Qi family, many people in the Qi family thought she was Qi Huai's illegitimate daughter. After all, everyone in the Qi family knew Qi Huai's personality. Qi Huai was gentle and polite on the surface, but he still had a sense of alienation in his bones. He would not care about people who had nothing to do with him.

Although the age is a bit inconsistent, Qi Huai was 19 years old and Cheng Yuan was 5 years old at the time. But... this is not impossible.

In fact, Ning Yi also knew that the matter was a misunderstanding, but he thought Qi Huai's helpless expression was quite interesting, so he deliberately said it to tease Qi Huai.

After rolling his eyes at Ning Yi, Qi Huai briefly spoke a few words before leaving with Gong Ming and Ning Yi...

Cheng Yuan,

standing on the competition field, stared blankly at the backs of Qi Huai and Gong Ming Ning Yi as they left, and her thoughts went back to the first time she met Qi Huai.

At that time, Cheng Yuan, who was less than five years old, accompanied her grandmother to the mountains to collect herbs as usual. As a result, because of heavy rain, she and her grandmother ran to a cave in the valley to hide from the rain.

And in the cave, they met Qi Huai and Rong Du, who were seriously injured and ragged, and were trapped in the valley by the fog of the valley.

Because Grandma Cheng grew up near the valley, she knew the fog in the valley very well, so she later helped Qi Huai and Rong Du successfully leave the valley, and took them in for a few days.

[Alas~]

Looking at Qi Huai and Ning Yi Gong Ming going away, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but think of Rong Du, who looked fierce and hard to mess with, had a bit of a bad temper, but was gentle and deep to Qi Huai.

Cheng Yuan was still young at that time. She didn't understand the relationship between Qi Huai and Rong Du, and didn't know what grandma meant by love. She only knew that Rong Du was really good to Qi Huai, and Qi Huai and Rong Du looked at each other with shining eyes.

It's a pity...

Cheng Yuan thought of Rong Du who was now far away in the demon world, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, [It's a fate but not a destiny.]

————

The junction of the demon world and the monster world.

The three worlds of humans, demons and monsters are actually connected, but separated by a barrier.

Because the demons are too bloodthirsty and cruel, and the consequences of the war caused by the demons were too serious, the human race and the monsters keep their distance from the demon world. There are not many people near the demon world barrier, only wasteland and dead trees.

Gu-gu-gu-

gu- "Ah..." A man in black screamed.

"...What are you screaming about!" A man who seemed to be the leader looked at the crow flying by, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around and glared at the man who just spoke.

"…" The black-clothed man looked at the dead trees not far away in panic, "There… there seems to be something there…"

"Something!?"

The remaining black-clothed men looked at each other, and then walked slowly to the place the man had just pointed.

"…"

"Nothing."

After walking over carefully, the black-clothed men found nothing, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay." The leading man shouted, "Don't be surprised, it's important to do business."

"Yes."

After a while, the black-clothed men came to the boundary between the demon world and the demon world.

After carefully looking at the barrier between the demon world and the demon world, the leading man turned around and looked at the people behind him, "Let's get started."

The black-clothed men nodded, and then dispersed and started their work.

Boom—

a loud noise sounded across the barrier.

"Huh...Huh..."

A man in black couldn't help but look towards the place where the sound came from after hearing the loud noise, and then he saw a bloody and horrifying scene.

On the other side of the barrier filled with black demonic energy, a terrifying monster with a pitch-black body slammed several intruding demons into the ground. In an instant, blood splashed and the flesh and blood were blurred, which made people vomit.

"Uh--" The black-clothed man's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Snap--

the leading man slapped the black-clothed man's head hard and warned him: "Have you forgotten what I said before? Do your own thing and don't be curious, otherwise... heh!"

"Yes... yes!" The black-clothed man trembled and responded, then quickly looked away and focused on the task assigned to him.

After a while, the actions of several black-clothed men stopped one after another.

"Sir." The black-clothed men looked respectfully at the leader who was checking the formation.

Yes, these men in black set up a formation at the border between the demon world and the devil world, a formation that is specifically designed to destroy barriers.

Not only here, but in fact, at several places where the demon world and the devil world meet, these men in black have set up formations, as well as at the border between the human world and the devil world...

"Hmm." The leader of the men in black checked the formation, and after finding that there was no problem, he asked the others to pack up their things, and then left in a hurry.

After all, such an important place is still guarded by someone, and these men in black only came secretly when the guards were not paying attention, they did not dare to come openly.

After several men in black left, a little girl about four or five years old walked out of the dead trees not far away.

The little girl has short silver-gray hair, a delicate and handsome face, cute baby fat on her face, and is wearing a light blue dress. She looks serious at the junction of the human and demon worlds. If you don't look at her clothes, just her face, she looks like a cool little boy.

"Ah..." The little girl uttered slowly, then blinked her gray eyes at the formation set up by the man in black, "It's a bit troublesome..."

She stared blankly at something not far away, and it took her several seconds to come back to her senses, then she walked over to the formation, "Should we destroy this formation first?"

The little girl said to herself, then raised her hand to cast a spell on the formation, and suddenly paused, "How about we wait a little longer?"

The little girl stood beside the formation set up by the man in black with her fingers tangled, her face wrinkled like a bun.

"Ah~~" The little girl sighed, and finally decided to wait a little longer, "Let's go back and ask them first."

After talking to herself, the little girl turned around and left the dead tree forest.

With the moonlight shining down, the little girl skipped back to her house in the southern city of the demon world.

As soon as the little girl entered the house, she saw the elder sitting in the hall with a frown on his face.

"Um..." The little girl moved slowly to the elder with a guilty conscience, and said sweetly, "Hello, grandpa."

The elder looked at the little girl silently for a while, and then asked, "Where did Xiaoyu go to play?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around nearby." Huai Yu blinked, stretched out his hand to hold the elder's sleeve, "Grandpa~ I'm sleepy~"

"Ah~" The elder looked at Huai Yu helplessly, then stretched out his hand to rub Huai Yu's silver-gray short hair, "Go and rest if you're sleepy."

"Okay~" Huai Yu smiled sweetly at the elder, and then followed the maid back to her room.

Seeing Huai Yu go back to rest, the serious-looking young man who had been standing behind the elder couldn't help but ask: "Elder, the young lady..."

The elder waved his hand, signaling the young man not to say anything more.

Although the elder was curious about where Huai Yu had just gone, since Huai Yu didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask any more questions.

After all, their wolf tribe has always been independent and has its own sense of propriety, and...

The elder thought of Huai Yu's deeds from childhood to adulthood, and couldn't help but touch his forehead, "Anyway, Xiao Yu won't suffer any loss, so let her go."

"Yes." The young man responded, then he calmed down and said nothing more.

On the other side, after Huai Yu returned to his room, he drove out all the servants around him, leaving him alone.

After carefully checking the surroundings and making sure that he was the only one there, Huaiyu took out the cell phone he had secretly hidden.

"Hmm..." Huaiyu stared at the phone for a few seconds, stretched out his hand to type a few words, and then pressed the send text message button.

Ding - there is a reply!

Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and then he opened the text message.

The author has something to say: Hehe, after reading the comments, thank you little angels for liking the mini-drama. In fact, sometimes when the stupid author is stuck in writing, he likes to think about mini-dramas and side stories, but these are not suitable for posting in the main text, so the stupid author has always planned to write a few side stories after the completion. Also, thank you little angels for your love, the stupid author will work hard, muah muah
