People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Han Yue's light purple pupils trembled violently, and her snow-like silver hair brushed against her cheeks as she trembled. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, and her fingertips unconsciously curled and unclenched.

"Brother Xiao Ling..." Han Xue exclaimed and subconsciously grabbed her sister's cold hand. The palms of the two sisters touched each other and were warm. In a trance, she didn't even know what day it was.

"Xiao Ling." Han Yue murmured with a bit of sob, and her usually cold and frosty face turned slightly red.
"I haven't seen you for many years. You have changed a lot."

Before she finished her words, a warm tear fell on the back of her clasped hands, causing tiny ripples.

Xiao Ling turned around, and the smile in his deep blue eyes was like melting spring water, softening the cold aura around him.

He looked at the pale yet still bright faces of the two sisters, and suddenly felt that time had never passed. Although the two had changed a lot since they first parted, they were still the same in their hearts.

Xiao Ling's fingertips gently twisted Han Yue's silver hair, letting it slip through his fingers, his blue eyes flickered with tiny lights: "I'm sorry, I should have come to Huazong to see you earlier."

At this point, he suddenly blinked and deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Look, after not seeing you for a few years, you've been bullied to such an extent? If I hadn't happened to come to Hua Zong this time, I'm afraid my two little beauties would have suffered injustice."

Han Xue sniffed gently, trying to calm the emotions surging in her eyes, and her silver-gray eyes suddenly curved into two crescents.

"After so many years, Brother Xiao Ling is still the same. He hasn't changed at all."

She looked at the familiar smile between Xiao Ling's eyebrows, and her fingertips unconsciously stroked the corner of his clothes, as if she had touched the old times many years ago. In a trance, the scenes of laughing and playing in the Han family appeared in front of her one by one.

Even Han Yue, who had a cold personality, couldn't help but smile slightly at this moment and shook her head helplessly. Only Xiao Ling was so fearless that he would use such teasing words to calm their emotions at this tense moment.

Being teased by Xiao Ling with a smile, the red eyes and tense emotions of the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue relaxed a little.

The watery light in Han Yue's light purple pupils turned into a smile, Han Xue's silver-gray eyes curved into crescents, and her pearly silver hair trembled slightly with her laughter.

The shoulder lines that had been tense due to the confrontation just now quietly relaxed, like a boat that had been drifting for a long time finally found a harbor, and the heart was filled with unprecedented peace.

It turns out that this is the feeling of having someone to back you up. No matter how fierce the storm is outside, as long as Xiao Ling stands by your side, you will feel that the road ahead is smooth and you will have nothing to fear.

The three of them looked at each other, Han Xue's silver-gray eyes, Han Yue's light purple pupils, and Xiao Ling's azure gaze met in the air.

No need to say much, the arc of the mouth corners that rose at the same time has already spoken more than a thousand words.

Although this reunion after many years was hasty, it was like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds in the tense competition arena.

As time goes by, their faces have changed, but the concern and longing hidden deep in their hearts pour out the moment they look at each other.

There is no need for explanation, no need to ask questions, they can read the emotions in each other's eyes, the concerns during the days and nights of separation, the longing when facing difficulties alone, all turned into this tacit smile at this moment, weaving a gentle love network that belongs only to them in the noisy square.

Hua Jin, who was standing on the other side of the square, was shocked to see the three people chatting happily together. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and the silver bracelets under her wide sleeves made a crackling sound. She could no longer hide the surprise and doubt in her eyes.

From the smiles that naturally appeared on the faces of the three people during their conversation, Hua Jin was naturally able to keenly sense that something was wrong.

The fleeting tacit understanding between their eyebrows and the eye contact that required no words clearly showed that the three of them must have known each other for a long time.

As soon as this thought emerged in Hua Jin's mind, she ruthlessly suppressed it.

She clenched her back teeth tightly, and her fingertips trembled slightly under her wide sleeves. She didn't want to believe it, and she was even more unwilling to accept that this carefully planned plan would be disrupted by three people who already had a connection with her.

If Xiao Ling and Han Xue and Han Yue were really old acquaintances, and used Xiao Ling's methods to help her, then wouldn't her painstaking efforts to set up the plan to become the sect leader by using the ancestral rules become a joke?
She forced herself to smile appropriately, and took a half step forward with lotus steps, but her voice was unconsciously trembling: "Master Xiao Ling, are you serious? Could it be that my Hua Sect has neglected something, which caused the master to be like this?"

She suddenly lowered her eyes to hide the gloom in her eyes, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears: "If I have offended you, my Hua Sect will naturally apologize to you personally, Master Xiao Ling. But this Sect Master Competition is related to the inheritance of the sect, and if the rules are broken due to misunderstandings."

After hearing Hua Jin's words, Xiao Ling stopped reminiscing about the past with Han Xue and Han Yue, and cast a look at Hua Jin like cold lightning.

Touching the temptation and uneasiness hidden in her eyes, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his aura instantly changed from gentle to fierce.

Xiao Ling knew too well the calculation behind this look. He was just weighing the pros and cons and guessing what kind of conflict of interest was hidden in this action, or where he had offended him, which was why he suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation.

However, including Hua Jin, no one present would have thought that this sudden intervention had anything to do with sect grudges or weighing of interests.

The reason why Xiao Ling suddenly behaved like this was because he was really the partner of Han Xue and Han Yue, so it was natural for him to participate in this so-called competition.

Xiao Ling seemed not to hear Hua Jin's question. His deep blue eyes swept across her tense face and then turned his gaze to the platform in the square.

On the gilded chairs, the elders of the Hua Sect were still sitting with mysterious expressions, looking at the sudden change in the square with some surprise.

Xiao Ling's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and his clear voice spread with a strong fighting spirit: "I heard that according to the ancestral rules of the Hua Sect, the Sect Master can be accompanied by his partner in the battle."

He raised his hand and pointed at himself, his eyes meeting the head elder's. "If I enter the game as Han Xue and Han Yue's partner—"

When he paused, the flowers around him rustled. "I wonder if the elders are willing to make this a fair fight?"

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the square fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of wind blowing through the sea of ​​flowers being clearly audible.

Everyone's eyes surged toward the platform like a tide. The figures of the several elders sitting on the gilded chairs looked increasingly solemn amid the countless burning gazes.

The leading Hua Zong elder's fingers unconsciously stroked the carvings on the armrests. His old face was calm, but complex undercurrents were surging in his eyes.

Hua Jin's nails dug deep into her palms, and the pain from her fingertips was not as great as the trembling in her heart.

She looked at the faint fluctuations of fighting spirit around Xiao Ling, and a bitter feeling rose in her throat. Once Ling, a figure who could stir up the situation in Zhongzhou, joined the game, the so-called "partner cooperation in battle" rule would become a shackle that bound her hands and feet.

His chin, which had been raised before, unconsciously lowered, and his body trembled slightly under the wide sleeves. There was no trace of the arrogance he had just had, and his heart was filled with anxiety about the unknown situation.

After a moment of silence, the Hua Zong elder who was in the lead coughed lightly, and her hoarse voice echoed over the square: "Master Xiao Ling has entered the game as a partner, so according to the ancestral rules, he can naturally participate in the competition." Her cloudy eyes swept over the figures of Xiao Ling and the other two, and her skinny fingers moved slightly, "But the ancestral rules also clearly state that one person cannot be a twin partner at the same time."

"This contest will be a two-on-two battle. Master Xiao Ling can choose one of Han Xue and Han Yuezhong to join hands with Hua Jin and Demon Flower Evil Lord to decide who will be the next leader of the Hua Sect."

As soon as the Hua Sect elder finished speaking, the square exploded in an instant, with the sound of discussions rising and falling like boiling water in a cauldron.

"Is Master Xiao Ling really going to die? But isn't he an alchemist? Even if his cultivation has already reached the Dou Zun level, is he really good at fighting?"

"A two-on-two competition between Dou Zun masters is something you don't see often!"

The guests in the viewing gallery were whispering to each other, and all kinds of noisy sounds mixed together.

The representatives of various forces who had originally intended to just go through the motions and give face to Hua Zong now had their eyes wide open, looking at the people confronting each other in the arena, with excitement that was difficult to conceal in their eyes.

Who could have expected that this seemingly foregone conclusion battle for the position of clan leader would, due to the appearance of Xiao Ling, turn into a rare pinnacle showdown in the Central Plains. It was truly worth the trip!
After receiving Ling's affirmative answer, Xiao Ling raised a perfect smile at the corner of his lips, and clasped his fists slightly towards the elder on the high platform, his black clothes fluttering as he moved:

"Thank you for your help, Elder. After this, Xingyun Pavilion and Huazong have weathered the storm together. If there is a need in the future, Xingyun Pavilion will definitely help with all its strength, and we will forge this comradeship."

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling is thoughtful." Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, the Hua Sect elder who was in charge smiled more and more on his wrinkled face, and his cloudy eyes moved slightly.

"It is naturally a mutually beneficial thing for my Hua Sect to be on good terms with Xingyun Pavilion. However, Master Xiao Ling should first decide whose partner he will appear as."

The reason why the elder agreed to let Xiao Ling join the game as the partner of one of Han Xue and Han Yue was because he saw that the three of them already had a connection.

Although it is difficult to tell the depth of Xiao Ling's friendship with the two sisters, his courage to openly intervene on their behalf is enough to tell that their relationship is anything but ordinary.

After years of development, the Xingyun Pavilion has become a powerful force in Zhongzhou. Xiao Ling, as the core of the pavilion, has become an eighth-grade alchemist at the young age. His superb alchemy skills have attracted countless sects to flock to him, and he even has the momentum to impact the legendary ninth-grade alchemist realm.

If Hua Zong can take this opportunity to conclude an alliance with Xingyun Pavilion, they will benefit greatly in the future whether it is the trade of elixirs or mutual assistance. This will be of great benefit to the development of Hua Zong. How can they easily miss such a sure-win option?

After the elder reminded him, Xiao Ling lowered his eyes and looked at Han Yue and Han Xue beside him, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Who of you two wants to be the leader of the Hua Sect?"

The two sisters looked at each other, and Han Yue's light purple eyes met Han Xue's silver-gray eyes in the air.

After a moment, Han Xue was the first to smile, her snow-white hair swaying as she moved: "Let my sister do it. My personality is too casual, and I am not suitable to be in charge of the sect. Besides, my sister is the next successor chosen by Granny Hua, and she is the most suitable choice to take on this important task."

As she spoke, she gently took Han Yue's arm. The warmth from her fingertips came through the sleeve, silently conveying trust and dependence.

Seeing the sincerity in Han Xue's eyes, Han Yue's light purple eyes rippled gently. She shook her head gently without making any rebuttal.

If Han Xue wanted to compete for the position of clan leader, she would give up the opportunity without hesitation. The friendship between the two sisters since they grew up together has made them value each other's future more than their own.

Besides, when she was alive, Granny Hua had indeed intended for her to inherit the throne. Now that Han Xue had taken the initiative to decline, she no longer refused and just held her sister's hand.

Seeing that the two sisters had made up their minds, Xiao Ling's eyes turned and he looked back at the elder on the high platform with a bright smile.

"The elder is right. I can only choose one partner."

He raised his hand and gestured to Han Yue beside him, and continued, "Today, I, Xiao Ling, will participate in this sect leader test as Han Yue's partner!"

As soon as these words came out, thunderous cheers suddenly broke out from all around the square.

On the seats, the crisp sound of folding fans hitting palms, the crisp sound of cups clinking, and the cheers that come one after another interweave into waves.

There was excitement in everyone's eyes, and they were obviously looking forward to Xiao Ling's participation in the battle.

Master Xiao Ling was able to stand up and stand up for the two sisters Han Xue and Han Yue who were trapped by the rules. This chivalry and courage can make people feel relieved and refreshed.

Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Hua Jin's nails almost dug into her palms, and it seemed as if thousands of dazzling lights were exploding in front of her eyes.

Her previous complacency vanished into thin air, and she felt dizzy and even her standing was a little unstable.

But at this moment, she had no choice but to take a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, to barely suppress her surging emotions.

She slowly turned her head and cast a somewhat panicked and questioning look at the Demon Flower Evil King beside her.

The latter of the two is the more powerful, and everything depends on his will.

As if he understood what Hua Jin was thinking, the Demon Flower Evil King looked at Xiao Ling solemnly and slowly fanned the folding fan in his hand.

Although he had heard many rumors about Xiao Ling, there were always some exaggerations in the rumors. With his strength as a six-star Dou Zun, even in the Hua Sect, there were only a few who could defeat him.

Although Xiao Ling has outstanding talent, he has only broken through to the Dou Zun level for a few years. In the Dou Zun realm, he is probably not considered to be the top existence.

Moreover, Master Xiao Ling is most famous for his alchemy skills. It is not difficult to imagine that he has limited energy invested in cultivation, and most of his mind is spent on alchemy.

Although the Demon Flower Evil King was unable to detect Xiao Ling's specific cultivation level, he simply assumed that the other party was an alchemist and blocked the detection with his powerful soul power and special means.

He had never thought that the seemingly peaceful Xiao Ling in front of him was not weaker than himself, but was far stronger than he had imagined. This made his investigation like a fog and he gained nothing.

Thinking of this, the Demon Flower Evil King calmed himself down and nodded affirmatively to Hua Jin.

Seeing this, Hua Jin's tense expression finally relaxed. In her mind, she actually had the same idea as the Demon Flower Evil Lord. In terms of actual combat skills, this famous alchemist might not be able to defeat the Demon Flower Evil Lord. Although there were some unexpected changes, she still had a greater advantage in the position of the leader of the Flower Sect. (End of this chapter)
