The referee was probably also a master of formations. After he checked the formations they had drawn one by one, the first four people were eliminated. It was probably because they failed to find the flaws in the formations.
Soon he came in front of Su Yao. When the formation master saw the formation drawn by Su Yao, he nodded with satisfaction. Then he walked in front of Ning Jing and nodded with satisfaction.
What Su Yao and Ning Jing didn't expect was that in this round, they were the only two who successfully cracked the flaw in the formation.
Only Su Yao and Ning Jing were selected from this formation competition. They looked at each other and saw the emotions in each other's eyes. The level of this formation competition was really low. They had thought that the competition would be very fierce this time, but they didn't expect to be selected so easily.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to lament that the competition was too casual or that the demons' formation level was too low.
The referee quickly led Su Yao and Ning Jing to the platform where the city lord was.
Nalan Jingyue and Xu Fuyi in the audience exchanged a glance. They also felt that this formation competition was going too fast.
Su Yao and Ning Jing have already walked in front of the Lord of Flame City.
The two men stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Lord City Lord."
When the Lord of Lieyan City saw the two of them approach, he immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Great, great! I didn't expect that in Lieyan City there would be someone with such high attainments in battle formations."
Su Yao and Ning Jing were complaining madly in their hearts. It seemed that this formation competition was really easy. They clearly didn't draw any difficult formations, so how could they win the competition like this?
The two men's expressions remained unchanged, and they spoke calmly and quietly, "Thank you for the compliment, Lord City Lord. We were just a little luckier."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Blazing City burst into laughter. "Hahaha, there's no need to be so modest. If it were just luck, you two wouldn't be the only ones to win. Since you two won, our City Lord's Mansion will also have a reward. Why don't you two come visit us, my friends?"
"This... seems a little inappropriate, right?" Su Yao was still a little hesitant.
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry. What's more, you saved my son and daughter a few days ago. I heard that you have two companions. You can go together. It's just right that I can explain to you the process after this formation competition in the City Lord's Mansion." The Lord of Flame City still smiled heartily.
Su Yao turned her head and looked at Ning Jing, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.
"In that case, we will respectfully obey your orders."
"What about your other two companions? You can ask them to come over and go with you." The city lord suggested.
"Please wait a moment, our companions are in the audience." After saying that, Su Yao waved in the direction where Nalan Jingyue and Xu Fuyi were standing, motioning them to come forward.
After the two of them also went up to the high platform, the city lord said: "Well, not bad, indeed, you are both extraordinary. Let's go to the city lord's mansion." As soon as the words fell, the city lord turned around and walked down the platform first.
Half an hour later, Su Yao and the other three were already sitting in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Sitting in the main seat was the City Lord of Lieyan City, and below him sat Yang Zeming and Yang Shuer.
The city lord took a sip from his teacup before slowly speaking, "I heard you saved my two children in the Monster Forest a few days ago. We don't know how to repay such a great favor."
The Lord of Flame City was obviously an old fox. Su Yao didn't want to fight with him. It was better to leave this matter to the little fox Nalan Jingyue to deal with. So she turned to look at Nalan Jingyue and gave him a look.
Nalan Jingyue understood instantly, nodded slightly, and then slowly said to the City Lord, "Your Excellency, you are too kind. We did accidentally save your son and daughter, but we have already received the rewards we deserve. There is no need to thank you anymore."
The City Lord was obviously very satisfied with Nalan Jingyue's answer, so he smiled and said, "Haha, my friend is indeed a sensible person. However, you saved my children, so you still have to give me some thanks. Tell me what you want. As long as the City Lord's Mansion has it, I will definitely give it to you."
Nalan Jingyue said with embarrassment: "That being said, we really don't want anything."
The City Lord's smile remained undimmed, and he said cheerfully, "Hahaha, no problem. You can bring it up again when you think of it. Our City Lord's Mansion will never refuse."
"Well... then I'd better obey your command. Speaking of requests, perhaps there is something I really need to trouble the City Lord with. I'm planning to open a restaurant in the city. I wonder if you could condescend to come and honor me on the opening day?" Nalan Jingyue's expression was still respectful, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The city lord was visibly stunned after hearing this, and then asked in surprise, "Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple. As long as you do this, the favor of saving my life will be offset." Nalan Jingyue said calmly.
Now it was the Lord of Lieyan City who was a little surprised. Most people would have come to ask for all kinds of treasures and rights if they heard that the City Lord's Mansion could promise something. However, these young people in front of them just wanted to quickly distance themselves from their relationship. Even if they made a request, it was only such a small one. It was simply unbelievable.
The city lord cast a thoughtful look over them before speaking cheerfully, "Hahaha, alright, it's such a small matter. I'll definitely go there in person."
"Then I would like to thank the City Lord first." Nalan Jingyue said respectfully.
"Well, but the reason I called you to the City Lord's Mansion this time is actually to tell these two girls in advance about going to Troll City to participate in the final formation conference." The Lord of Flame City waved to the guards standing beside him.
The guard was very considerate and brought the tray on the table to Su Yao and Ning Jing.
There were two black jade cards on the tray, which were faintly magical. It seemed that these were the identity cards for participating in the Troll City Formation Conference.
Sure enough, after seeing them holding the jade tokens, the city lord slowly explained, "This is the identity jade token for participating in the Troll City Formation Competition. The Troll City Formation Competition will be held in seven days. Troll City is half a month away from our Flame City, but we have a teleportation formation in Flame City. If you use it, you can get there in no time."
"My Lord City Lord, it is said that after winning the formation competition in the Troll City, you can go to the Demon Palace to receive a treasure. Is this true?" Su Yao asked curiously. In fact, she just wanted to know whether she could enter the Demon Palace after winning.
"Yes, you can indeed go in and choose a treasure. It will depend on your strength then." The Lord of Flame City explained with a smile.
