The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

Chapter 997 Xuanmen Competition, the first round begins

Three days later, the Xuanmen Competition officially kicked off.

Before this, there had been some discussion about the Xuanmen Competition on the Internet.

It all started when someone posted a security check photo.

A man dressed as a Taoist priest opened the suitcase for security check at the request of the staff, and then took out most of the magical tools such as peach wood swords, soul-calling flags, and Bagua plates from the other party's luggage.

A staff member in charge of security check posted on WeChat Moments that many Taoists had indeed come to Beijing in the past two days, and all of them carried more or less metaphysical and feng shui objects.

Some people also took photos of a dozen Taoists arriving at the airport wearing uniform modified Taoist robes.

Later, some netizens recognized that the so-called Taoist uniform was actually the uniform of the Hai City Taoist College.

[I'm sure I'm not mistaken. My daughter and Cha Cha both wore it in the previous episode of "Inspiration".]

There are also screenshots of variety shows as evidence.

It instantly attracted more netizens to watch.

[I can prove that these are the students of Haishi Taoist College, and I have evidence.]

It was also a screenshot from a variety show, but it took a screenshot of one of the freshmen who was standing behind Jiang Xuxu during the morning meditation class, and then compared it with one of the people in the group of people who appeared at the airport, and it turned out to be the same person.

From this, we can judge that these are students who are seriously studying the mysterious arts in the Taoist Academy.

And it is very likely that he is Jiang Xuxu's classmate!

[With so many of them coming, this must be some kind of exchange event for the occult? ]

[After such a long time, Xuanmen still treats us as outsiders. Is there any exchange meeting that we cannot sit in on? ]

[After such a long time, Director Chen is the only one who treats us as his own. I miss Director Chen! ]

[Missing Director Chen for the 189th day~]

Netizens have discussed a lot about the activities within the Xuanmen, and some powerful netizens and metaphysics enthusiasts have done an in-depth investigation.

They actually managed to dig out some things.

A special live broadcast room that requires an invitation code to enter.

There are very few people in the live broadcast room, at least not comparable to the original live broadcast room of "Inspiration".

But the live broadcast room clearly broadcast the grand occasion of the Xuanmen Competition officially starting that day——

"Welcome everyone to the Xuanmen Grand Competition held every three years. This competition is hosted by the China National Security Bureau and the Taoist Academy Demon Management Bureau, and sponsored by the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters...

I am Lou Yingying, the host of this conference. The person next to me is the head of the Lingshi External Liaison Department and also another special host of this conference, Youyou!"

Anyone who has watched last year's college competition would recognize that the people speaking on the stage were the students of Taipei Taoist College who had previously participated in the college competition, Sheng Wuchang and Lou Yingying.

Because of the special venue of this competition, Lou Yingying was selected as one of the conference hosts as a middleman.

Compared to Lou Yingying's enthusiasm and generosity, the co-host next to her was more gloomy and steady. At this moment, he only glanced at the people in the venue and spoke briefly.

"Hello everyone."

Below the stage were various mystics and demon tribesmen who had come specially for this occasion, including students from three Taoist academies.

Everyone's heart trembled when they saw the gloomy host Youyou on the stage.

Even the Taoist college students or demon students who have not yet graduated can clearly sense at this moment that the host on the stage... he is not a human.

Working at the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters, this man named Youyou is obviously a ghost cultivator.

And it should be a ghost cultivator of more than three hundred years.

The Xuanmen Competition is held every three years, but this is the first time that a ghost cultivator has been invited to host the conference.

It’s just…very fresh.

Compared to the different thoughts in the audience, Lou Yingying on the stage was obviously much more excited.

First, I briefly introduced the participants and judges of this Xuanmen Competition, and then quickly got to the point.

"Next is the first competition of the Xuanmen Competition. Due to the special nature of the competition venue, our contestants will not be present. We will watch this competition in real time directly through the special spiritual screen first developed by Lingshi."

As Lou Yingying finished speaking, Youyou raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Ghost energy spread out and a huge screen instantly stood up in the venue.

The screen is in sync with the image symbols on the contestants' bodies, and the situation of each contestant can be seen in real time through the split screen.

The first group to attract attention was naturally the group that Jiang Xuxu belonged to.

Jiang Xuxu and his group of six were all wearing the same Haishi Taoist College uniform, just like they wore during the college competition.

However, the location of the six people at this time surprised everyone, because judging from the background, they seemed to be in... a villa somewhere? ?

I heard Lou Yingying say,

"The rules of the first competition have been sent directly to each contestant's mobile phone via the Lingshi APP."

At this time, the contestants displayed on the screen were obviously also reading the rules introduction sent by Lingshi.

[The first competition of this Xuanmen Competition will be held at the Ghost Market.]

Before the competition started, the authorities had already sent representatives from all parties to take away something from each contestant and put it in the ghost market.

Next, please enter the ghost market, find the item that belongs to you, and successfully redeem it. The end time of the competition is based on the closing time of the ghost market. Failure to redeem the item within the specified time is considered a failure of the competition, and the loser will be eliminated on the spot. 】

Jiang Xuxu and his group were currently in the villa that Jiang Huai had arranged for them to temporarily stay in.

They were also looking at the competition rules that had just been sent to everyone’s mobile phones, and were somewhat surprised by the content of the first game of this Xuanmen competition.

"The competition venue is in the Ghost Market? How do I get into the Ghost Market? I've never been there!"

Lu Nanxing was the first one who couldn't help but raise his soul-searching doubts.

Xie Yunli lowered his voice and explained,

"How to find the ghost market and enter it should also be the content of the first competition."

After all, if you can't even find a competition venue, there's no point in continuing to participate in subsequent competitions.

As a member of the team, An Churan still didn't get along well with the others since the end of the college competition, but he spoke appropriately at this time.

"To enter the Ghost Market, you should first pass through the Ghost Gate, but the Ghost Festival has just passed, so opening the Ghost Gate may be a bit troublesome."

As soon as she said this, several people present looked disapproving.

Lu Nanxing said, "It's just opening the ghost gate. It shouldn't be difficult."

Tu Xingzhu also said, "There is a ghost gate in the spiritual affairs headquarters that can be opened at will."

Xie Yunli asked Jiang Xuxu, "Can the staff of the Spiritual Affairs Headquarters directly apply to open the Ghost Gate?"

Jiang Xuxu shook his head, "Probably we can't use the authority of the spiritual affairs headquarters."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately asked in unison, "Why?"

Jiang Xuxu showed everyone the notification he had received, then scrolled to the bottom and found a line of small words at the bottom for additional explanation.

Bai Zhu had obviously noticed it as early as she had, and now he whispered:

"Based on the principle of fairness in the competition, internal staff of Lingshi are prohibited from using internal channels by taking advantage of their positions. Violators will be disqualified from this Xuanmen Competition."

Everyone:...

This supplementary explanation is obviously written for Xuxu, right?

Tu Xingzhu looked at Jiang Xuxu with some sympathy. It seemed that his part-time company was not very friendly to its employees when sponsoring the competition.

He sighed and said,

"At the critical moment, you still have to rely on me."
