Xiao Linyi came specifically to ask Chu Xinxin to register. After finishing his business, he left with the small wontons Chu Xinxin had given him in both hands.
His face remained expressionless as he took the wontons, but his popularity soared even higher.
Sister, Xiao Linyi is so innocent!
The system also told Chu Xinxin that Xiao Linyi hadn't slept all night, setting up a barrier in the Holy Land, and then rushed back at dawn to buy Chu Xinxin money for breakfast.
[A pure-hearted virgin for six thousand years.]
Chu Xinxin: "Shut up, I won't allow you to speak ill of my sugar daddy."
System: [Waaaaah, daughters grow up and leave home; it's only been a few days, and she's already siding with outsiders.]
A sacred place on the outskirts of Beijing.
Tianji was setting up a no-fly formation when he saw Xiao Linyi coming over and asked him to lend a hand.
Xiao Linyi glanced at Tianji, who was covered in dust, and asked casually, "Have you ever eaten at Chen's Wonton?"
"No, what's wrong?" Tianji looked up, looking confused.
"I have a bowl here."
"Old Xiao, you're a true brother. You knew I hadn't eaten breakfast and brought it for me."
Tianji reached out to grab it... but couldn't even touch it.
Xiao Linyi: "You bought it yourself. Xinxin bought it for me."
Tianji: ......
After a while, a formation master came over with a frown: "Master Tianji, what's wrong with Master Zichen? Why is he holding a bowl of wontons and asking everyone he meets if they've ever eaten Chen's Wontons? Are Chen's Wontons really that delicious? Or do they have some special effects?"
Tianji was exasperated: "Just ignore this love-struck fool."
Tianji felt a mix of emotions. Xiao Linyi, who had been single for six thousand years, had a beautiful young wife delivering wontons to him early in the morning, while he, who was always surrounded by beauties, had his house demolished and was beaten up. From yesterday until now, he hadn't even had a sip of tea.
As the saying goes: fortunes change.
......
The martial arts tournament registration is very simple. First, you put your hand on the testing ball to test your cultivation level. If your cultivation level is fine, then drip a drop of your blood onto a specially made mother-child token. The child token is given to the registrant to verify their identity during the competition, while the mother token is left at the registration point to draw lots to determine the opponent.
After Chu Xinxin and Ya Wen finished registering, the line outside had already circled the palace three times.
"Luckily, I was well-informed and arrived early." Ya Wen sighed and then slipped away to the teahouse next door to buy breakfast.
Chu Xinxin was waiting for her at the door when she glanced at someone and saw an unexpected person.
"Young Master Qingyun, are you also here to register?"
Qingyun bowed slightly to Chu Xinxin: "Miss Xinxin, are you alright? I was worried all night yesterday when Master Zichen took you away."
He immediately mentioned Xiao Linyi, and Chu Xinxin looked around guiltily to see if Xiao Linyi had left. Last night, she had been ordered not to see Qingyun.
I didn't see anyone.
Chu Xinxin relaxed: "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Are you really alright? How could Master Zichen tie you up with chains? Doesn't your hand hurt?" Qingyun frowned, looking distressed. "I would never treat Miss Xinxin like that."
System: [A strong tea aroma.]
Qingyun had clear eyes and a sincere and earnest expression. Coupled with his deceptively charming face, Chu Xinxin believed him regardless of whether the system believed him or not.
Moved, she took a step forward, only to be stopped by two men dressed in royal guard uniforms.
They had actually been standing behind Qingyun the whole time, but they had concealed their presence, as if they were deliberately trying to make people ignore them.
"Don't be rude!" Qingyun pressed down on the guard's unsheathed sword with one hand and gestured for them to step back with the other.
Chu Xinxin then noticed that Qingyun was dressed very elegantly today. He wore a dragon-patterned jade crown to tie his hair up, a bright yellow long tassel sash around his waist, and a purple robe, making him look both refined and handsome.
"Yes, Third Prince." The guard returned to Qingyun's back, his aura controlled with ease, revealing him to be a Nascent Soul stage expert.
Nascent Soul stage... the Third Prince?!
Chu Xinxin thought of Qingyun from Qingxiang Tower, and then looked at the Third Prince in front of her, who had a Nascent Soul stage guard. Her expression became indescribable.
Hey, do all you nobles play this elaborate game?
Qingyun coughed, clenching his fist and putting it to his mouth: "Qingxianglou's actions are purely personal and have nothing to do with the royal family."
......
Qingyun explained that it turned out his father, Emperor Liang, felt that his youngest son was idle and lazy all day long, and since only those at the Foundation Establishment stage could enter the Holy Land, he sent Qingyun here to register.
After chatting casually for a while, Qingyun left.
After returning to Siyin Pavilion and finishing her official duties, Chu Xinxin was bored, so she asked the system to look up the ancient books of the Phoenix Clan for her.
System: [Sister, it's too early for you to be looking at these things. How do you know you'll definitely make it into the top 100?]
Chu Xinxin: "There are so many spots, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like me can't even get in? Are you kidding me?"
[But you only recently advanced, while others advanced much earlier and have more practical experience. Some are even suppressing their cultivation to try and reach the Golden Core stage. By the way, the number of applicants has already exceeded 30,000.]
"Thirty thousand? That's too much! But it doesn't matter, I can just smash one down with my Earth-grade spiritual treasure."
I'm afraid you'll be thrown off the stage before you even have a chance to take out your magical treasure.
Chu Xin wanted to refute, but then she remembered that it was indeed the case when she fought against the heavenly thunder last time. If she had spoken the password a little slower back then, she might not be here now.
"I'll find someone to practice with."
So, Chu Xinxin spent the whole afternoon at the Siyinge martial arts training ground.
There were quite a few people at the training ground.
Siyinge is somewhat like a symphony orchestra in the main world. In addition to performing for royalty and nobility, it also undertakes commercial performances and tours.
With the Holy Land opening, everyone signed up for the competition. Those who hadn't signed up were busy instructing their family's Foundation Establishment juniors to prepare for the contest. No one listened to the music, and the Second Steward turned a blind eye to it.
—Didn't you see the Pavilion Master's wife personally leading the way in catching fish?
When Xiao Linyi returned after setting up the barrier, the entire Siyin Pavilion felt empty.
He tried to send a telepathic message to Chu Xin but received no reply, so he had no choice but to contact the second steward.
The second steward rushed over and took the person to the training ground. Xiao Linyi spotted Chu Xinxin at a glance.
Chu Xinxin, holding a sword, was fighting a man dressed as a scholar to the very end.
Chu Xinxin controlled the man's sword with a flourish, and with a gentle flick, the man's sword was sent flying.
However, the man was not discouraged. Instead, he stepped forward with an admiring look and served Chu Xinxin tea and water, and even tried to wipe her sweat.
The more Xiao Linyi looked at the semi-immortal's aura, the more unstable it became. A slight leak caused the second steward beside him to collapse to the ground.
"Who is that person?" Xiao Linyi promptly withdrew his oppressive aura and asked in a deep voice.
“His name is Zhou Ming. He’s a new musician we hired this year. He’s the one who wanted to ‘witness’ the Pavilion Master’s wife’s qin skills the other day,” the second steward replied, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
No wonder Xiao Linyi felt that he looked familiar.
"How could they hire someone who was so arrogant and provoked the examiners during the assessment period?"
"The Lady of the Pavilion agreed."
That day, the second steward brought the list to Xiao Linyi for review. Xiao Linyi was angry because of the "sugar baby" incident and did not come. According to the rules, the head steward could also make the decision on this matter, so the second steward gave it to Chu Xinxin, who approved it with a wave of her hand.
In the distance, Chu Xinxin and Zhou Ming were chatting and laughing. Xiao Linyi even heard Chu Xinxin praise Zhou Ming's good figure.
Xiao Linyi was burning with jealousy, but he couldn't just go over and pull the person away in front of everyone.
"Why did she agree?" Xiao Linyi turned away as if trying to avoid looking.
"She said it was rare to meet someone who didn't submit to her, so she wanted to keep him by her side and humiliate him every day with her superb piano skills!" The honest and straightforward second steward said without missing a single word. "She also said that the best way to torment someone is to crush them in the things they care about most."
Xiao Linyi: ...I was overthinking it.
