The heavy rain had been falling all night without stopping at all. Even some potholes in the Peach Blossom Courtyard were filled with mud and water, which looked yellow and orange. It didn't look particularly careful in the dark.

It wasn't until the first ray of morning light broke through the darkness on the horizon that the heavy rain stopped completely and the air became fresh.

It's almost a quarter past midnight (around eight o'clock in the morning), and there is only half an hour left before the selection meeting begins.

Xiao Ling's door made a soft sound, and the sound of her footsteps on the muddy ground was much louder than usual.

At this time, Lin Qi woke up from his cultivation state.

Xiao Ling said hello to Lin Qi, then walked to the well head calmly, picked up a bucket of well water, turned his back to Lin Qi and started to wash himself.

After Lin Qi took a glance, he turned his head and straightened his clothes in the room.

The disguise that I used to have has disappeared and I have become my original self.

This was also his plan before, there was no need to still pretend at the selection meeting...

After Xiaoling washed herself, she hurriedly walked into the room. When she came out again, her face was still covered with dust.

Not long after, Xiaoling and Lin Qi rushed to the martial arts arena together.

Walking on the streets of Qinggu Town, just as I thought yesterday, after I returned to my original appearance, some townspeople in the surrounding crowd started talking:

"Isn't this Lin Beggar? We have already agreed to get married to the eldest lady of the Yang family. Why is there a female beggar following behind us? Are we really not afraid of Yang Xueyue's anger?"

"Hey! Who knows? No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. Maybe there is some hidden secret in it."

"This kid is so blessed that he doesn't know how to be blessed. He blinded Yang Xueyue in vain!"

…

The bold discussions around him, the meaning of which was so clear, made Xiao Ling, who was following Lin Qi, a little angry, but the distance between him and Lin Qi also became farther.

Lin Qi snorted coldly when he saw this, exuding a faint warrior aura.

The townspeople who made the introduction immediately shut up, not daring to be so outrageous, and quickened their pace to leave the place.

Lin Qi slowed down and walked side by side with Xiao Ling.

A long queue had already formed at the gate of the martial arts arena. After a military attaché verified the entry order, they all walked into the martial arts arena.

Everyone seemed to be in high spirits and talked eloquently. Their level of attention to this selection meeting was no less than that of the participating warriors.

Even if they saw the strange combination of Xiao Ling and Lin Qi, it didn't arouse their interest.

Some of the gossip between Lin Qi and Yang Xueyue, after fermenting in the past few days, was suppressed by the heat of the selection meeting.

Some comments reached Lin Qi’s ears:

"Just now I saw that the heads of the Yang family, the Pan family, and the Sun family have all entered the martial arts arena. It seems that the quota for this selection meeting is very likely to come from these three major families!"

"That's wrong! Pan Dongchun of the Pan family must not be included in this list. You must have heard of this young man's reputation. He is just a womanizer!"

"Ahem...brother, be careful what you say. If the Pan family knows that you have harmed Young Master Pan's reputation, I'm afraid you won't be able to reap the rewards!"

…

Lin Qi smiled at these comments.

Along the long queue, leading the happy little spirit, they walked straight towards the gate of the martial arts field.

For ordinary townspeople, they can only queue here, but for the participating warriors, there are also dedicated military attachés responsible.

After Lin Qi's martial arts cards and round tokens were handed over to the military attache for inspection, the two of them walked into the martial arts arena together.

There was one detail that surprised Lin Qi.

When Xiao Ling took out the red admission order from his arms, the military attache's tone was a little gentler and more respectful than Lin Qidu.

Come to think of it, not just anyone can get this kind of red admission order.

In the martial arts arena, the crowd was buzzing with voices.

Lin Qi looked around, and saw that they were almost all human figures, and the voices were whispering, which sounded a bit chaotic.

At this time, Lin Qi and Xiao Ling were mixed in the crowd and did not attract any attention.

The internal structure of the martial arts field is similar to the shape of a football field, but only half of it is similar, while the other half is completely different.

Similar to the other half, the above are the positions available for general admission.

The location is like terraces, distributed in large and small venues, filled with wooden chairs.

Most of the townspeople were already sitting there, with different shapes and colors, wearing all kinds of clothes with the characteristics of Qinggu Town, whispering to each other, and it was very lively.

The other half is very different and can be roughly divided into three parts.

One is a stone platform at the highest point of the martial arts arena, with maids or guards on it walking around, bringing tea and water, or carrying a variety of fresh fruits and food.

Among them, important figures in Qinggu Town include Sun Tiancheng, the head of the Sun family, Yang Caide, the head of the Yang family, Pan Clan, the head of the Pan family, and Ma Di sitting in the second seat.

As for the first place, naturally it is Zhao Songhuan, the head of the military attache town, and Zhang Han, the deacon of the outer sect of Canglang Mountain.

As for the Danqing Crane, Lin Qi did not see its shadow.

The second is the location where the red admission order can go. Most of them are large and small family forces in Qinggu Town. The one venue they can occupy is located to the west of the martial arts field.

This place is divided into five floors, similar to the existence of a pavilion, and the whole place seems to be embedded in a martial arts arena.

Each floor is equipped with a circle of exquisite wooden guardrails and dozens of tables.

This is also where Xiaoling is going.

The third is the location of the east side, which is decorated exactly the same as the place where Xiao Ling is going, except that this is the place where the warriors will rest during this selection meeting.

Part of this information was informed by Jin Hongfei, and part of it was learned by Lin Qi from the guards on the side.

After Lin Qi found out more about it, he took Xiao Ling and walked along a path towards the west of the martial arts field.

The red admission order purchased by Jin Hongfei can only go to the fourth floor of the west martial arts arena.

Lin Qi took a quick glance and could see some differences in the clothing and martial arts status of this group of men, women, old and young.

There were many awakened warriors among them, and some warriors were sitting firmly at the table. The faint aura exuding from their bodies made Lin Qi's heart move slightly.

Broken Spirit Realm warrior!

In addition to these warriors, there are also many men and women in luxurious clothes, who must be some of the rich people in Qinggu Town.

The reactions of some men when they saw Lin Qi and the reactions of some women when they saw Lin Qi were completely different.

The former is almost always ignored, while the latter will look twice.

In their eyes, the rumors between Lin Qi and Yang Xueyue were the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Not like ordinary townspeople in Qinggu Town.

As for the little spirit on the side, they all had a look of disgust in their eyes, as if it was inappropriate for a beggar to come to a place like this.

When Xiaoling saw this situation, his gray-black face was still full of smile, and he dismissed it.

She pulled Lin Qi's arm and said softly: "Sir, where do you want to sit?"

"Look for it first!" Lin Qi said softly.

After saying that, he and Xiao Ling walked in from the stone steps.

Just when Lin Qi's figure moved, a familiar voice came: "Brother Lin, here!"

Lin Qi turned his head and saw Ren Song and Hua Dian greeting him. He walked over with Xiao Ling and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Shao Qing, Lin Qi, Ren Song and Hua Dian chatted and laughed and told them the reason.

The general meaning is, let the two of them take care of Xiao Ling.

After all, Xiaoling is an ordinary person, not a warrior, so he will not be bullied.

Ren Song and Hua Dian agreed happily.

Seeing that these two people had a good relationship with Lin Qi, Xiao Ling did not hesitate and sat aside directly, saying with a smile: "Sir, come on!"

Lin Qi nodded, and later saw that Ren Song and Hua Dian did not look down upon Xiao Ling's dress at all. On the contrary, they were chatting happily.
Chapter completed!
