Since half of the candidates were eliminated in the second round, there were 15 candidates left in the final re-test. In today’s draw, there is one blank number in the final.
The winner of the blank number automatically entered the final round instead of the re-draw today. That’s why everyone calls it a happiness ticket, which means one more day off than everyone else.
When Chu Lei handed down the flat box with all the numbers, everyone was waiting to see who had won the lucky blank number.
The Master of the Dianjing Valley, Rong Gu, spread out the paper and said in a loud voice: “Each one of you, register your number.”
The fifteen remaining disciples unrolled the fire-painted and sealed pieces of paper, some frowning and some sighing, and then suddenly someone said, “Ah,” and everyone looked, but they saw Wu Tong raise his hand with the paper and said, smiling, “I am a blank number.”
In full view of the crowd, he unfolded the blank piece of paper, held it respectfully in both hands, and brought it to Master Rong Gu with a smile, saying, “Master, please take a look.”
When the crowd saw that he was the one who had won the blank number, they couldn’t help but be jealous and envious. He was the dark horse of the Flower Hairpin Tournament, and they had never heard of him before. Who would have thought that he passed the first two preliminary rounds easily. This time he drew an empty number. It is really a kindness from God.
Although Master Rong Gu was expressionless, there was joy in his eyes, so he took the piece of paper and said slowly, “You may go down now.”
Wu Tong smiled and was so proud of himself that he turned around and left. Like the previous times, he seemed to have no interest at all in the other people’s competitions, so he stepped over the fence and went back to his own courtyard.
Halfway there, he took a subconscious glance at Linglong, but as expected, she was still staring at him with that murderous look in her eyes. He lifted his lips and threw her a flirtatious smile, immediately seeing the expected reaction. She blushed and squeezed the sword at her waist. It seemed that if she hadn’t been restrained by the person next to her, she would definitely rush over.
Interesting, really interesting.
Wu Tong couldn’t help but laugh, and in front of the astonished eyes of the crowd, he walked away.
“Linglong! Will you calm down?” It was only after a long tug-of-war that Zhong Minyan managed to restrain her, but he was exhausted and panting himself.
The woman, Linglong, looks up at him with a cold look, pulls her arm back and says, “What are you doing?”
Zhong MinYan was speechless for a moment and his face turned red. Yu Sifeng was afraid that they were making a fuss and was about to give his advice, but then he heard Zhong Minyan say, “You are really a difficult young lady.”
Linglong said urgently, “Who asked you to put up with me? I’ll be my lady, you continue to be your knight, who asked you to take care of me?”
Saying that the eyes are red again.
Zhong Minyan said softly, “I love to put up with you, but it’s strange that I’m asking for trouble.”
Linglong snorted, turned her back, and said for a long time: “You are so slick, I hate you like this!”
Zhong Minyan smiled and took her shoulders, patted her on the head, and smiled: “Are you still fighting with me? Did Brother Six really get angry with you? Isn’t what Senior Brother Six said was for your good?”
Linglong gave him a glance, but the corners of her mouth were already tinged with laughter, and she pinched his hand, charmingly pouting, “Nothing is good. Damn you, Six! I’m not like a girl anyway. You can bear it.”
Zhong Minyan was busy, “Like! What’s not like that! I say ten sentences and you can’t answer half a sentence with kindness! All right, this time it’s your brother’s fault. Don’t you dare cry to me again.”
“Who’s crying?” She was laughing, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but her face was already smiling, like a flower in the morning sun, gorgeous. She scratched him on the nose and said, “You’re the one who’s crying!”
When Zhong Minyan saw that he had finally made the young lady laugh, he felt relieved, and he was very happy.
When Yu Sifeng saw that the two of them were fine, he turned back to Xuanji and smiled, “The two of them, they are like, two children.”
Her long eyelashes were hanging down, she was trembling slightly, and her hands were clutching at the corners of her clothes, obviously looking distraught.
The heart is suddenly sweet, suddenly sour, suddenly bitter, I don’t know what to feel.
It was only after a long time that he whispered, “Xuanji, are you unhappy?”
Xuanji blinked her eyes and shook her head, “No… I just think that Sixth Brother and
Linglong are really good friends.”
Yu Sifeng curled her lips, “Minyan… is a… good person. I, too, like him a lot.”
Xuanji trembled, biting his lips and never speaking again.
With a sigh of sorrow in his heart, he raised his hand to touch her long hair, but halfway out he hesitantly pulled it back.
“There will be someone better,” he whispered, “There are many good people in the world.”
Xuanji looked up at him with her big black and white eyes, as if she was asking, “Is there anyone better? Could there be anyone better than the Sixth Brother?”
Yes! He almost blurted it out. I’d like to ask her what she thinks of him. Is he a really good friend, or is he just a silly kid wearing a mask and playing with a strange snake, or would she like him a little bit?
But he finally just smiled, averted his eyes, and whispered, “In the future, when you grow up, some, you’ll, you’ll know.”
The four of them didn’t watch the competition very closely. Zhong Minyan and Linglong were busy talking and laughing, and Yu Sifeng and Xuanji were busy thinking about things in a daze.. At the end of the competition, when the crowd was gone, they were surprised and walked slowly back to their own courtyard.
Halfway through the competition, Xuanji suddenly heard someone calling out to her from behind, “Young lady! Why are you so glum?”
She was shocked and hurriedly turned back, but she saw Dongfang Qingqi standing there smiling and waving at her.
She instantly remembered what she had seen that afternoon, and was momentarily dumbfounded for a while before she said softly, “Island Master…”
“What island master ? Call me Uncle!” He came over and rubbed her hair lovingly, smiling, “Why are you wandering around here alone? Just now, Lady Chu asked me about you, as if she had something to talk to you about.”
Aunt Hong was looking for her? Xuanji said, “I… I’ve finished watching the match and I’m going back.”
Dongfang Qingqi’s eyes lit up at the mention of the competition, “So, have you seen my family’s Pian PIan and Yu Ning? They’re not looking stupid, are they? Hahahaha!”
I’ve never seen them… But she didn’t dare to say that, so she only agreed to say a few words, and then suddenly thought of something and asked, “Uncle Dongfang, where is your wife?”
Dongfang Qingqi smiled and said, “She took the injured disciple to the treatment. Why, little devil, want to see my wife?”
It looks like he really doesn’t know.
Xuanji pursed her lips and hesitantly said, “Yes, yes, I heard from Linglong that Uncle Dongfang’s wife is the most beautiful woman in the world…”.
Although he had heard a lot of praises, but he’s particularly proud of the way they came out of a child’s mouth. He said softly, “Tonight have dinner at my place, my wife has brought osme small dishes from Fuyu Island. You can try it too. That’s right, call Linglong, MinYan and SiFeng!”
“Uh…no, no need.” She hurriedly refused, “Daddy seems to have something tonight. Next time I will go to Fuyu Island with Linglong. I haven’t been there yet.”
“Okay, it’s settled.” Dongfang Qingqi didn’t notice her weirdness at all, rubbed her head again, and smiled: “I’m still busy, let’s go. You go back earlier and see Lady Chu. What can the chivalrous Lady be looking for?”
Xuanji looked at his back silently.
This poor man is a hero in his life, but he has a hard time in love.
When I saw his upright back, I felt a little sadness in my heart, not knowing why.
