Chapter 60 The Dark Horse
He not only had his eye on Bai Haochen, but also on Feng Jing, the goddess behind Bai Haochen.

The number one genius of the Human Alliance, he is also a ruthless and talkative person, one of the most difficult to mess with.

With these two by his side, Lin Xin felt secure, even if he never learned offensive magic in his entire life.

"You want to pick me? But the teammates are all randomly selected!"

Bai Haochen, who had misunderstood, was filled with a little bit of hope. If only Lin Xin could find a way to pre-select teammates!

He wanted to include Cai'er as well, so that she could be part of the same team as his aunt. Bai Haochen was happy with the thought.

But it turned out that he thought too much.

"The rest of the teammates were randomly assigned based on luck, which is good, but the top three have the opportunity to choose their teammates!"

Lin Xin's excited words were like a bucket of cold water to Bai Haochen.

"Oh."

He was not very interested, but Lin Xin, who was in the middle of his excitement, did not notice that you were talking to yourself.

"When you make it into the top three, how about you choose me?"

"Once I join your team, I can provide you or your teammates with an unlimited supply of the best medicine."

Although he spoke with great excitement, Lin Xin was still somewhat apprehensive, worried that Bai Haochen would refuse.

And Bai Haochen did indeed reject him.

"Then there's no need, I won't make it into the top three."

"Ah? How is that possible!"

Lin Xin was practically jumping up; his face was practically screaming "Impossible!"

"I've inquired about the participants, and based on what I know, you're a shoo-in for the top three!"

"The only ones who can rival you are the two from the Knight Temple and the one from the Assassin Temple."

"But compared to them, as the goddess's nephew, even if you are of the same rank, your strength will be much greater."

"The top three are definitely yours, and you could even be number one."

Lin Xin had complete confidence in Bai Haochen.

This left Bai Haochen feeling both helpless and amused.

"Could it be that there's a dark horse in this selection process that I haven't found out about?"

Lin Xin was very clever and quickly guessed the answer.

"This dark horse is really something! It managed to squeeze you out of the top three."

"What a dark horse! I'm very curious, who is that dark horse? Is it possible that they'll choose me and let me be their backer?"

Lin Xin's imagination ran wild, while Bai Haochen's frustration grew.

"That's impossible."

"The dark horse has chosen me."

"She only wants to be my protector."

Bai Haochen coldly and ruthlessly interrupted Lin Xin's daydream.

This sudden possessiveness caused Lin Xin's brain to freeze for a moment, and it took him quite a while to process all the information he had received.

Lin Xin, who was exceptionally quick-witted, soon came up with a bold idea.

"Brother Bai, who is that black horse?"

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head, his neck stiff, to look at the young priestess who was munching on snacks beside him.

She swallowed the food in her mouth, grabbed a handful of snacks and stuffed them into the mouth of the purple ball in her arms, and then slowly and gently opened her mouth.

"I think the dark horse you're talking about is, perhaps, maybe, me?"

As Ma Fengjing, the dark horse himself, spoke, he nodded vigorously.

"Yes, it's me."

"The real dark horse."

Lin Xin glanced at Bai Haochen, then at Feng Jing, who looked eight parts like him, and tentatively uttered two words.

"goddess?"

Actually, Lin Xin was silent due to shock, but Feng Jing still understood his lip movements.

"Don't understand what you are saying?"

"My name is Feng Jing, not Fengjing (meaning 'scenery'), it's Feng Jing (meaning 'maple')." Lin Xin: ...∑(O_O;)
Lin Xin's world has collapsed!

He even regretted participating in his own demon hunter team's selection competition.

"Lin Xin, look, you've run into a tough guy."

"You insisted on participating in this year's competition. Ha! You're only 19. You'd be eligible to participate in the next year too."

"Now we're going to get completely humiliated."

Lin Xin said to himself.

As a result, he lost all interest in the auction, which he already disliked, and listened to the whole thing through misheard lyrics.

Feng Jing hadn't expected that so many people didn't want her to participate.

But it's okay, as long as she wants it!
Lin Xin returned empty-handed, but Feng Jing and Bai Haochen bought an egg that Haoyue liked.

Seeing Haoyue open its "blood-red maw" and swallow the egg whole, Fengjing tapped its head.

"come back earlier."

Whether they misread it or not, Haoyue actually nodded.

"Auntie, is Haoyue alright?"

Knowing that Haoyue had gone back to her original plane to break through, and considering that Haoyue had only been back for a short while before getting injured, Bai Haochen immediately became worried.

"It's fine, perfectly safe."

"Now you should worry about yourself. The competition is coming up soon, but it won't be over in no time."

"Until it comes back, the game is all by yourself."

"If anything happens to you, it will be dead."

Upon hearing Feng Jing's words, Bai Haochen immediately became even more worried about himself.

"I will protect myself!"

"Even without Haoyue, I can still make it to the finals!"

With the addition of Haoyue, whom he cared about even more, and the even heavier bond of life and death, Bai Haochen cherished his life even more.

It's not a big deal if he dies, but it's bad if Haoyue dies with him, and it makes his aunt, mother, and Cai'er sad.

Demon clan, heart city.

After hearing that spies had spotted a man and a woman who looked like the Demon Queen on the border of the Demon Realm.

After a brief moment of confusion, Fengxiu quickly figured out what was going on.

"Is it Xiao Jing and Chen Chen?"

Bai Lingxuan understood, but looked up at Feng Xiu for confirmation.

"It's probably that crazy girl."

“That crazy girl always complains to me, why does Yue’er and Haochen both look like you, but she looks like me, and she says she wants to look like you too…”

Feng Xiu kept calling her a crazy girl, seemingly angered by Feng Jing.

If there wasn't a doting smile in his eyes.

"Xiao Jing is so cute."

Bai Lingxuan, however, only felt that Feng Jing was cute.

"She suddenly appeared at the border with Chenchen, but didn't come back to Xincheng to find us..."

"...So it's the Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament, which takes place every five years."

Recalling the Demon Hunter Team selection competition she had once participated in, a look of longing appeared on Bai Lingxuan's face.

"The Demon Hunter Selection Tournament. That crazy girl is a demon herself; she's trying to hunt herself!"

Feng Xiu had some reservations about Feng Jing's participation in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, and was in a bad mood.

But Bai Lingxuan's two sentences immediately appeased him.

"I participated in this too; it was a time of youthful passion and enthusiasm."

"However, Xiao Jing and Chen Chen are probably much better than me."

"If only I could watch their matches..."
