don't show

Lingyin is not at home right now, so she doesn't know what to do.

It's a good opportunity.

Lin Xiu came to Qin Wan's room. Qin Wan was reading a book. Her ability needs imagination the most. She needs to read a lot of books. This is also the source of her rich theoretical experience.

After Lin Xiu came to her room, she stopped reading, but stood up, walked to the door, and closed the door.

She walked forward slowly, pressed Lin Xiu against the wall, whispered into his ear, and said, "I know you're not here at night, but now, you belong to me..."

Qin Wan is a little strange today, she hugged Lin Xiu very hard, as if trying to fuse the two bodies together.

Lin Xiu sensed her abnormal emotions, held her face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Wan didn't answer, but rested her head on Lin Xiu's chest and said, "Hold me tight."

Lin Xiu hugged her tightly without any extra movements, the two could feel each other's heartbeat.

In the room, the two hugged each other tightly, Lin Xiu hugged her soft body, and the atmosphere was quiet and harmonious.

This quietness was broken after Lingyin came back. She stood outside the door, wondering: "It's strange, it's broad daylight, what are you doing with the door closed?"

After her words fell, the door opened, and Lin Xiu walked out of the room, saying, "I'm going back to the wedding residence, and we'll go to the school grounds together the day after tomorrow..."

Regardless of Lingyin's staring eyes, he immediately left here.

Zhao Lingyin clenched her small fists, she had only left for a while, they must have closed the door again to do bad things, the lip balm on his mouth hadn't had time to wipe off, why couldn't he resist Qin Wan's temptation at all?

Zhao Lingyin glanced at Qin Wan, but she didn't know what method she used. Although she felt sore in her heart, she was still a little curious.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Xiu and Caiyi got up very late. After breakfast, he went to the Changchun Palace first, checked the condition of the spiritual pet, saw that it had no abnormalities except lethargy, and stayed in the Changchun Palace for a while , and bid farewell to the imperial concubine.

When passing Ruidong Palace, Lin Xiu stood on the palace road and waited for a while.

After a while, Princess Minghe came out from the palace and said to him, "Let's go."

She doesn't look very well, with some dark circles and swollen eyes. She may have cried under the covers last night. This is normal. If it were Lin Xiu, his mentality might collapse.

In terms of talent, Princess Minghe is no worse than Lingyin Qin Wan and Ning'er, and even slightly better.

She was only 17 years old, one year younger than Lingyin, so there was no need to doubt her talent.

But luck is really bad.

Three yuan crystals, not to mention failing to break through, still owed him 30 taels of silver.

Qin Wan only owed him 1 taels, so she had to spend her whole life to repay it. As a creditor, Lin Xiu didn't even know what Princess Minghe could use to repay it.

Of course, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to mention the 30 taels of silver. The two of them walked to the Magic Department silently all the way. Princess Minghe didn't speak, and neither did Lin Xiu.

Among all the people around him, only he and Princess Minghe needed to draw lots.

Lingjun Lingyin, Qin Wanninger and the others are the seed players of the earth rank, and the imperial court will not allow them to meet in the first two rounds, so their lottery has been arranged long ago, and there is no need to draw again.

There will be 800 people participating in each competition.

The vast majority of them are not strong, and they can't even be called geniuses, but the significance of Xiaobi and Dabi lies not only in competition, but also in communication.

This is a rare event, where young people from all over the world exchange different skills and learn martial arts, which contains a spirit of hard work and progress.

Instead, the five great dynasties used this to divide their interests, making the competition fall into a cliché.

When Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe came to the Department of Abnormal Arts, there were already many people queuing up here, but they were from Daxia Academy of Abnormal Arts, and they were all members of Tianzi Academy, so naturally there was a special channel without queuing.

After taking out the signboard of Tianziyuan, someone brought them to a wooden box covered with a black cloth and said, "You two, please draw your lottery numbers."

Lin Xiu looked at Princess Minghe, and she gave Lin Xiu a look, signaling him to smoke first.

Lin Xiu didn't care, as long as he didn't meet Zhao Lingjun, he had nothing to worry about.

Of course, he didn't want to meet Lingyin, Qin Wan, Ning'er and the others. It's not that he couldn't beat them, but no matter who won, he didn't want to see them.

Lin Xiu prayed silently in her heart, reached into the box, and took out a wooden stick.

He glanced at the top of the wooden sign and wrote a number.

one hundred and nine.

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

The [-] contestants will be divided into [-] groups. The numbers on the wooden sticks also range from [-] to [-]. Each number corresponds to a pair of lots. Those who draw the same number will be the winners of this round. opponent.

Those seed players at the ground level, the number of draws is from one to the back row, which is set at the beginning, so they will not meet each other.

But the rest of the people who got these lots were out of luck.

As far as Lin Xiu knew, Lingjun was the number one lottery, Qianye Lin was the number two lottery, Qin Wan was the number five lottery, Lingyin and Ning'er were the number seven and eighth lottery respectively. In a round of competition, the opponents they will face are them.

The lottery that Lin Xiu drew was one hundred and nine, so it definitely couldn't be a land rank.

After he finished drawing, it was Princess Minghe's turn.

Princess Minghe took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pulled out a stick from the wooden box.

She has already figured it out, just like Lin Xiu comforted her, it's okay if she doesn't make a breakthrough for a while, as long as she can get a place in the Grand Competition, she is confident that she will successfully break through to the ground level within the next six months.

She could only comfort herself in this way.

However, when she glanced at the signed number, the expression on her face froze.

Seeing her different expression, Lin Xiu thought to herself, could it be that her luck is really so bad?

He looked up, then stayed where he was.

On her signature, a nine was written.

single-digit sign.

Her opponent is an earth-ranked seed.

Lin Xiu didn't know how to comfort her at the moment.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and hit the wind again.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Failed to break through the ground level, but still drew an opponent from the ground level, even he felt that Minghe was too miserable.

Lin Xiu looked at the official of the Anomaly Division and asked, "Can we draw lots again?"

The official shook his head helplessly, and said: "Sorry my lord, you can only draw once, what you get is what you get, and no one can change it, this is the rule..."

Chapter 223 Lin Xiu's Hunting Ground

After all, Xiaobi is not a matter of one country in Daxia. At the same time, there are more than a dozen surrounding countries involved.

In this case, fairness is particularly important.

If the imperial court sets a precedent for Princess Daxia, it will surely fall into the tongues of other countries.

For those small countries, it is okay to say no to the country's face, but Great Xia is a kingdom of heaven, one of the five strongest countries on the mainland, and it has always regarded face as extremely important.

There was no way to put the lottery that had been drawn back, so Lin Xiu could only ask the official, "Help us find out who the lottery No. [-] is, is it okay?"

The official said: "Wait a moment, the next official will go to investigate now."

Although the Department of Different Arts has no such obligation, he still knows the identities of Lin Xiu, the son of Marquis Ping'an, and Princess Minghe. After entering the yamen room and checking the roster, he quickly walked out and said, "Princess Hui, the ninth lottery is Zhang The fifth son of the family, Zhang Xin, he is a person with the ability of water magic, and he has just entered the ranks of the earth not long ago..."

Lin Xiu didn't know how to describe Minghe's luck.

Not to mention the lottery that won the ground level, the opponent's ability can still restrain her.

The ability is restrained, and the strength is stronger than her. There is no suspense in this competition.

At this time, Lin Xiu couldn't even say words of comfort.

Princess Minghe was also speechless.

At this moment, Lin Xiu looked at the wooden stick in Princess Minghe's hand, and then at his own, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

Since the drawn lottery cannot be put back, it will not be put back.

He snatched the wooden stick from Princess Minghe's hand, then stuffed his own wooden stick to her, and said, "You've agreed to draw for me, and I'll help you. Have you forgotten?"

Princess Minghe looked at him blankly.

When did they ever say that?

The official of the Department of Abnormal Arts was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Young master Lin, this, this is probably not allowed..."

Lin Xiu asked: "Why not? Just now I saw someone drawing for you. Can't we help each other draw?"

The officials of the Magic Academy were stunned for a moment, the Department of Magic really didn't have a rule that doesn't allow helpers to smoke.

The rule of drawing lots is that once a lot is drawn, it cannot be put back.

The lottery is drawn on the spot, and after the lottery number is recorded, it cannot be changed.

It hasn't been recorded yet, so it's not a broken rule, but this kind of thing rarely happens. After all, who would choose a strong opponent instead of a weak opponent? Isn't this giving up the chance of promotion to others? ?

You know, if you lose one of the first two games of the small competition, you will be eliminated directly and lose the qualification for the big competition.

But as long as he is willing, there is no need for the Department of Magic.

The official from the Department of Abnormal Arts looked at Lin Xiu, wondering: "Mr. Lin, in principle, this is not allowed..."

Lin Xiu is also in the officialdom. He knows some terms in the officialdom. In principle, it’s not allowed, but it’s possible. In principle, it’s okay, but it’s not allowed. , Now that I have drawn a good lottery, but I regret it and refuse to change it, isn't this a breach of faith? As a man, I, Lin Xiu, pay attention to the word "trust". Please don't embarrass me, my lord..."

The official went down the steps, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then the official will record it like this..."

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, "Remember it..."

The official of the Magic Department wrote down the numbers of the two people, Lin Xiu was number nine, and Princess Minghe was one hundred and nine.

After walking out of the Department of Different Arts, Princess Minghe said to Lin Xiu, "Thank you."

Lin Xiudao: "Why are you being polite with me? Fortunately, I broke through late, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help you if I wanted to..."

When he signed up, Lin Xiu was still Xuanjie. When he broke through, the registration had already ended.

And once the registration is over, all the players are registered and compiled, and they cannot be changed. After all, there are very few people like him who grind their guns before the battle, and this situation has almost never happened before.

Whether it is a big competition or a small competition, they must abide by a set of strict procedures. If they can be changed at will, a huge chain of interests will be derived from it, and the rules will be useless.

Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe exchanged tickets on the spot, just taking advantage of the loopholes within the rules.

The two parted at the gate of the Department of Altered Arts, and Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu's leaving back, feeling a little strange in her heart.

She saw Lin Xiu's kindness to Zhao Lingyin before, and she didn't think it was a big deal, but when he was so kind to her, she realized how happy Zhao Lingyin was.

Her mother passed away when she was very young, and brother Wang also went to the fief afterward, and her father spent very little time with the girls in the harem every day, and she hadn't experienced anyone's good feelings towards her for a long time .

As soon as Lin Xiu returned to the new house, Zhao Lingyin couldn't wait to ask: "Did you draw lots?"

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Smoked."

Zhao Lingyin hurriedly asked: "How many numbers have you drawn?"

Lin Xiudao: "Number seven."

Zhao Lingyin widened her eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

The No. [-] lottery was arranged for her by the Magic Department. Could it be that Lin Xiu was going to face her in the first match?

Seeing her frightened look, Lin Xiu smiled and said, "I'm lying to you, the number I drew was number nine."

Zhao Lingyin glared at him, twisted his waist, and said: "You are really unlucky, you still got the ground rank, who is No. [-], it seems to be Zhang Xin..."

When she mentioned the name, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she said: "Zhang Xin's ability is water, you are sure to win, even if you don't break through, he is not your opponent..."

Ice is absolutely oppressive to Sheung Shui.

Even if it is a mysterious level or a ground level, it is unknown who will win and who will win. What's more, Lin Xiu is a dual practitioner of different arts and martial arts. A month ago, Zhang Xin was not his opponent. Now he is also at the ground level. The letter is at the upper level of the earth, otherwise, there is no suspense in this battle.

Let's say Lin Xiu is lucky, he got the ground rank.

Say he is unlucky, his opponent is Zhang Xin again.

However, no matter what, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that Lin Xiu was so unlucky that she got her sister or her in the first round of draws. Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen.

The day after the lottery was drawn was the day when the competition started.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiu came to the new house from the wedding residence, and went to the school field for the competition with Lingyin Qin Wan and Qianye Lin.
