Destiny is ashes

Chapter 416: Ah? Me? Survivors of the Ancient Immortals? (33)

【The winner has been decided! 】

On the stage, the referee came to the side of Nianquan who was about to fall to the ground and shouted: [The champion of the youth group singles competition in the Xuanye City Special Market Competition is Nianquan from Xuanye City Third Middle School! ]

【Let's congratulate him! 】

Suddenly, the entire stadium was filled with thunderous applause, and all the red lights representing support for Yan Chengju dimmed. Only the blue lights under An Jing, Huo Qing and other people who supported Nian Quan suddenly brightened and turned into rainbow light.

This can be considered as a design to give the audience a sense of participation, but at this moment, regardless of whether their previous guesses were correct or not, many people applauded and sincerely applauded Nianquan for presenting this wonderful duel and reversal.

Because it has been too long, too long since anyone has defeated No. 1 Middle School.

"Now, No. 1 Middle School is going to be in chaos for a while."

On the special guest stage, the old monk from the Heaven Monitoring Bureau shook his head slightly: "Xiao Gao is in trouble. Normally, as the principal, he can still rely on the reputation of No. 1 Middle School, but now that he led his team to a defeat at the hands of No. 3 Middle School, I'm afraid he can't just step down and let it go."

"Moreover, the technique used by that Sanzhong kid is not ordinary, at least it is a secret method. I don't remember such a technique being circulated in Sanzhong. The ancestors of this little swordsman should not have any swordsmanship or secret techniques... I think I need to investigate carefully."

"Fire is harsh, but few people get burned; water is weak, but many people drown."

The seemingly young cultivator narrowed his eyes and smiled, revealing his neat white jade-like teeth: "The kids from No. 1 Middle School are working very hard, and have already reached their limit... This Nianquan is definitely not an isolated case. Privately, other middle schools are probably also cultivating their own geniuses."

"As for checking? What are you checking? You are just too neurotic."

He turned his head and scolded the old man beside him, "He was enlightened. Enlightenment, you know? Maybe he realized the sword spirit while cutting vegetables, and learned the move from pickled vegetables? You won't find anything if you investigate, and it will only make people lose faith."

"That's it." When the old man beside him bowed repeatedly and nodded his head in agreement, he stood up, turned around and left: "Tell Xiao He to come to see me tomorrow... I remember that he was also a talented boy back then. I thought he was wasted in retirement, but he quietly dug out such a good seedling."

"Now it seems that I still have some energy and spirit."

After being declared the winner, Nianquan stepped down and was sent to the infirmary for treatment. Principal He also went to take care of him.

However, before he left, Principal He specifically asked his secretary to meet An Jing and Huo Qing.

"You two are Nianquan's friends, right?"

The well-dressed but inconspicuous middle-aged secretary smiled and handed two identification cards to the two men: "We all know Nianquan's level. He may cause some trouble to Yan Chengju, but it is extremely difficult to defeat him."

"The two moves he used should have been discussed with you. You two are also the heroes who helped Nianquan win the championship this time. If you want to visit him, as long as Nianquan himself has no objection, you can visit him at any time."

"Easy to say."

Compared to Huo Qing who was a little nervous for no reason, An Jing accepted the identification card carelessly and did not intend to hide his presence and help to Nianquan: "Nianquan's body is not so much injured as it is deficient. Instead of treating the damage to his spiritual energy, it is better to give him more nectar to nourish his body."

"……Understood."

The secretary nodded and glanced at An Jing, his eyes sparkling: "I have reported this suggestion, and I believe the principal and the doctor will make a reasonable judgment."

"Also, you two... Although I already know your names, please allow me to ask for your names here."

There was no need to hide anything, Huo Qing told his real name, and An Jing did not hesitate to say the pseudonym 'An Xuan'. The secretary smiled and said: "An Xuan. You are still a visitor in the wilderness, but you have a permit to enter the city... I wonder if you are interested in getting a Xuan Ye City household registration?"

——Oh? You think highly of me?

An Jing was thoughtful. He knew that what the secretary meant was what Principal He meant. The other party obviously saw his potential and wanted to win him over. Moreover, he didn't finish this sentence, and he didn't need to finish it. After An Jing got the residence permit in Xuanye City, the other party would definitely invite him, a teenager of the right age, to study at No. 3 Middle School.

"Of course I am interested."

An Jing smacked his lips and said, "But not now. There are some complicated things at home that are difficult to resolve in a short period of time. But I completely understand that your kindness is hard to refuse."

"Well, I will definitely give you an answer within half a year. Before that, you can definitely find me through Nianquan. We can discuss the details then. What do you think?"

"Haha. In that case, the adults will come over in person later to discuss the details." The secretary smiled. Things had come to this point and it was no longer something he could make the decision on. Principal He would definitely have to come over in person to discuss the specifics with An Jing.

As for now, the secretary would not continue to bother An Jing and Huo Qing. After giving them a special city consumption voucher worth two thousand good deeds, saying it was pocket money for them, he left.

“These people are really rich.”

Even if An Jing was reselling between the two worlds, the cash in circulation was only a few thousand, but now these upper-class people in Xuan Ye City can get two thousand good deeds with just a wave of their hands - they really don't treat money as money.

"Just right."

He picked up the certificate between two fingers, swung it, and boasted to Huo Qing: "Nianquan is probably still recovering from his injuries now. We don't need to share his pain. We can just share his joy after he recovers."

"As for now, I'm planning to buy a better drone and anti-killing suit. Do you want to buy anything?"

——Drones and anti-brake suits!

Huo Qing's mind was filled with the guess that An Jing was a remnant of the ancient immortals. The two things An Jing mentioned perfectly matched the outdoor exploration and the underground evil spirit environment, which made him stunned for a moment. After An Jing asked him a question in confusion, he reacted: "Ah, yes, yes... but An Jing."

He lowered his voice and said to An Jing seriously: "There is something I want to confess to you."

"...?"

An Jing was also stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Huo Qing wanted to confess to him - could it be that Huo Qing had spent all the money without telling him? But this was nothing...

The two of them came to a remote unfinished building outside of the special city. Huo Qing took out the shielding array from his arms, which immediately made An Jing's heart solemn: "Good man, are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious." Huo Qing took a deep breath and said seriously, "An Jing, Uncle Tieshou confessed something to me... My parents and Uncle Tieshou all came from the Guiyi Army."

For the people of Xuanye City, this is indeed a major event that needs to be solemnly announced.

"Oh. That." But An Jing just blinked and said calmly, "I actually guessed it a long time ago. To be honest, I guessed it almost the same the second time I saw Tie Shou. But it doesn't matter to me."

"Is that so?" Huo Qing was a little surprised, but because it was An Jing, he was not particularly surprised. Scratching his head, Huo Qing subconsciously said: "Then your true identity..."

An Jing repeated in confusion: "My real identity?"

"That is to say." Huo Qing said as a matter of course: "It is the fact that you are a descendant of the ancient immortals!"

"……what?"

This time An Jing was really stunned: "Me, a remnant of the ancient immortals?"

——No, how did you guess this?
