People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Amusement and interest filled those azure eyes, as if he regarded this battle for the leadership of the clan as a great drama. The curve at the corner of his lips carried a bit of nonchalant laziness, yet also revealed a sense of oppression that should not be underestimated.

The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Ling. His black clothes fluttered, and the jade pendant with dragon pattern on his waist made a clear sound as he moved. His eyes swept across the tense situation like a hawk.

Even though he didn't know the whole story yet, with his intelligence, he had already guessed most of the ins and outs.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed but stubborn faces of the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue, and Hua Jin's arrogant attitude, Xiao Ling's eyes were filled with fire. How could he allow others to make things difficult for these two women who were as precious as treasures in his heart?

When Xiao Ling walked out slowly from the gilded seat, the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue were struck by lightning, and their light purple and silver-gray pupils trembled violently.

Looking at the mysterious figure walking against the light, the scenes buried in the dust of time deep in their memories suddenly surged up. The young man who was imprinted in the depths of their memories was gradually overlapping with the man with a stern aura in front of them.

After not seeing each other for several years, his figure has become more upright, and his eyes have lost their youthfulness, but they still have the gentleness that they are familiar with.

This familiar feeling that has penetrated into the bone marrow is still as hot as ever even after the passage of time and the settling of years, turning into a sour yet sweet tremor in the heart.

Ever since he parted with Xiao Ling, the news that he had become famous in Zhongzhou had spread to Han Xue and Han Yue's ears, even though he had little contact with the outside world due to the Hua Sect.

After all, in recent years, Xiao Ling's rise in Zhongzhou has been rapid and unparalleled, and his every deed has become a hot topic among the people.

Especially in the last alchemy meeting, he defeated all the competitors with his nine-color eighth-grade top-level elixir and won the championship in one fell swoop. Since then, he has been crowned with the title of "the best alchemist in the continent".

Such legendary deeds spread like wildfire, and even among the deep-rooted Hua Sect, many female cultivators had heard of his charisma.

Those female disciples of the Hua Sect who had seen Xiao Ling's portrait regarded him as their dream lover. His handsome and elegant appearance became the topic of conversation in countless people's boudoirs at night.

And these bits of news about Xiao Ling that they heard from time to time, like the drizzle of spring, quietly seeped into their hearts. During countless sleepless nights, deep in the minds of the two girls, they sketched out the appearance of the boy after his transformation.

Today, this figure that had appeared in rumors countless times was no longer vague and illusory, but appeared before their eyes clearly.

Although his demeanor and posture had changed a lot compared to the past, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

The eyes looking at them were still filled with easy-goingness and tenderness, as if they had never been apart.

Seeing Han Xue and Han Yue standing there in a daze with shock in their eyes, Xiao Ling raised the corner of his lips into a gentle smile.

After not seeing each other for many years, they met again in this tense competition arena. Even though he had experienced countless storms, there were ripples in his heart at this moment.

But he had been traveling in Zhongzhou for many years and had seen countless different scenes. This kind of experience had enabled him to hide his emotions perfectly.

Although the smile was sincere, it was not inappropriate at all. He just nodded slightly, his eyes full of unspoken concern.

However, in stark contrast to the undercurrent of emotions between Xiao Ling, Han Xue and Han Yue, everyone in the field looked at the black-clothed figure that suddenly appeared with a look of shock on their faces.

Whispers spread like a spider web among the audience. Countless eyes were focused on Xiao Ling, and everyone was talking to each other in confusion.

Everyone was filled with doubts. What was the purpose of Master Xiao Ling, who was well-known in Zhongzhou, suddenly showing up at this moment? Could it be that he really wanted to challenge Hua Jin, who was very likely to be the next leader of the Hua Sect, on behalf of these two seemingly helpless women?

Hua Jin raised her wide sleeves slightly and was about to start the competition with thunderous force, but was suddenly interrupted by a man's voice.

Anger instantly rose to her brows, and she turned around abruptly, with a cold light in her eyes.

However, when he saw clearly that the person coming was Xiao Ling, who was famous in Zhongzhou, the pink fighting spirit condensed on his fingertips suddenly froze.

Even though she was filled with resentment, she had to suppress her surging emotions. This famous figure's ability and background could not be underestimated. Even if he was the acting leader of the Hua Sect, or even the next leader of the Hua Sect, he would not tolerate any disrespect.

However, she was still extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Ling's rash behavior of disrupting the situation.

Of course, there was more confusion. Xiao Ling suddenly spoke at this critical moment. What was his plan?

Hua Jin tightened his fingertips slightly, and in an instant he suppressed the emotions surging in his eyes. He raised a decent smile again, and the light flick of his wide sleeves revealed the demeanor of a sect leader.

She bowed towards Xiao Lingying, her voice as gentle as the song of an oriole: "Master Xiao Ling, do you have something important to discuss? If you are interested in this competition, why not condescend to be the referee and add some glory to this contest."

Hua Jin's question was like a sharp blade that picked up the doubts in everyone's hearts, and the whispers in the room froze in an instant.

Because of these words, Xiao Ling's gaze, which was originally fixed on Han Xue and Han Yue, finally turned and fell on Hua Jin.

But Hua Jin had an elegant posture, a warm tone, and his every move was flawless. He showed the demeanor of a sect leader, but without the slightest arrogance.

However, even though she was very polite, Xiao Ling had no intention of playing along with her.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Ling tapped his toes lightly and took a step forward as if stepping on an invisible staircase.

As his feet lightly touched the void, a circle of dark blue space ripples spread out with him as the center. In a flash, the figure in black clothes appeared on the bluestone square like a ghost, standing firmly beside the two sisters Han Xue and Han Yue, with his clothes not stained with a trace of dust.

As soon as he stood still, Xiao Ling's ink-black robe fluttered in the wind. He raised his hand to adjust his cuffs, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Then, Xiao Ling looked directly at Hua Jin and Demon Flower Evil Monarch opposite him, his voice clear and firm, but with an unquestionable momentum:

"Haha, Master Hua Jin is very polite. But the position of referee is really not attractive to me. After all, how can it be as exciting as being there in person when judging from a distance? If I want to be a participant and have a competition with the two of you, I would be very interested and would love it."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the seats around the square suddenly exploded.

The exclamations that came one after another were like a surging tide, and the whispers of the crowd almost blew the ceiling off.

"The continent's number one alchemist is actually going to compete?"

"Master Xiao Ling is actually going to stand up for the sisters!"

Various speculations were boiling like boiling water in a cauldron. Everyone could see clearly that Xiao Ling's words were clearly a declaration of war against Hua Zong. This famous figure in the entire Central Plains was obviously not used to Hua Zong's aggressive behavior and was willing to use himself as a blade to compete, which supported the two sisters who were bound by the rules.

Xiao Ling's powerful words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Hua Jin and Yaohua Xiejun's hearts.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. They had never expected that Master Xiao Ling, who seldom took the initiative to contact other forces, would openly go against them for a stranger woman.

As for the possibility that Xiao Ling already knew Han Yue and Han Xue, no one had even thought about it.

In Hua Jin's opinion, if she were to meet a big shot like Xiao Ling, she would definitely try her best to use his identity and abilities to benefit herself and make this relationship public as soon as possible.

She also naturally thought that if the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue were really familiar with Xiao Ling, they would definitely act in the same way.

However, she did not expect that although Han Xue and Han Yue knew very well that if they could make use of Xiao Ling's power, it would be much easier to deal with daily trivial matters or even the fight for the position of the leader of the Hua Sect.

But the two sisters were always aware of the gap between themselves and Xiao Ling.

They have their own persistence in their hearts and are unwilling to rely on the protection of others. Instead, they are determined to catch up with the figure that is as unattainable as a star through their own efforts.

Chapter 595 Xiao Ling Goes to Battle

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.
