Chapter 47: Invitation to the Amphibious Club
"Cough cough cough cough... Wait a minute, I heard you right, what did you just say?"
Hearing that Hu Ling actually wanted to agree, Lu Pingan, who had only lost 19 consecutive opponents in the morning, almost choked to death with a sip of wine.
In such a cruel place of Tianyuan Continent, would such a good thing happen? Or does it mean that I have experienced too much bad luck in the past, but now I have all the hardships and started to transfer?
No, that's not right! It's probably not that simple.
After the initial shock, Lu Pingan gradually calmed down.
Not to mention the fact that the choice of a horse is not a matter of choice, even if she really has the final say, in Lu Ping'an's view, this is too trivial, after all, the two of them only met for less than a day.
Sure enough, Hu Ling rubbed his slightly flushed cheeks and hesitated to explain to him: "That...I didn't make it clear just now, it's actually like this. Two years later, Luo Tiancheng will hold an amphibian meeting. , I hope you will also participate."
"Amphibious meeting?" Lu Ping'an frowned when he heard it, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked tentatively, "Could it be a martial arts contest?"
Bi-winged talents accompany beautiful women, and double-diving mandarin ducks contain loyalty. Since it is called the amphibious club, and Hu Ling mentioned the horse, then the eight achievements are a test of this nature.
Speaking of which, the royal family of Cangwu Kingdom has always paid attention to the inheritance of blood. This way of selecting the horses is quite in line with the consistent style of the monarch.
"Yeah, yes." Hu Ling nodded, "By then, outstanding cultivators from all over the country and many other countries will go to Luotian City to participate in the selection, and they will be assessed based on their blood qualifications, strength, and age."
"But... why did you choose me? And if I win by any chance..." Lu Ping's heart was complicated, and he stopped talking.
"I think you can win, so I ask you for help, and besides you, I can't ask anyone."
Hu Ling replied with a natural tone, "As for after you win...Oh, anyway, I won't let you do anything in vain, I have my own arrangements."
"This... let me think about it."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was a little lost for no reason, poking his chin and thinking.
Although reason told him that he should refuse, Lu Ping'an couldn't say what he said.
Because Hu Ling said just now that she couldn't find anyone to help except herself.
Let him sit back and watch Hu Ling become a victim of blood inheritance, which is no different from not being saved.
In addition, for this girl with an alluring look and full of personality, to say that Lu Ping'an has no idea at all, it is definitely open-eyes and nonsense...
Across the table, seeing Lu Ping'an hesitating, but did not answer, Hu Ling was so anxious to hit someone.
In a hurry, she slammed her heart and said, "Anyway, you must promise me that if you didn't show me the way yesterday, I was found by Uncle Guan and the others, I would have been so far away from the sea of suffering."
"Hey hey hey, can we just talk about something? How did I know that you still have this kind of trouble? Besides, with the cultivation base of the two seniors, it shouldn't be troublesome to find someone around Wanqiu City?"
Lu Ping's expression was speechless, and he said in his heart that he would use Hu Ling's experience and cultivation skills. Once he goes to another country, he can't be eaten and wiped by the gang.
"You!" Hu Ling knew that he was wrong, but didn't want to lose to the other party on the aura, snorted and turned away, "Huh, coward."
For a moment, the room fell into an awkward and subtle silence.
After about a quarter of an hour in this way, after some meditation, Lu Ping'an finally had a care in his heart.
He took a deep breath, got up from his seat, and said to Hu Ling sternly: "I'm sorry, I can't give a reply yet."
"Ah? Why not?" Hu Ling blurted out and asked, with a disappointed expression on his face.
"First, two years are too long. What should I do if I don't live that day? Second, although I have confidence, I cannot guarantee victory. I don't want to give you too much unnecessary expectations."
"Third, and the most important point, my enemies are still watching and are always ready to get rid of me. In short, let's wait until the Wanqiu Grand Tournament is over."
Although Lu Pingan was ambitious and fearless, he couldn't let Hu Ling take the same risks as himself.
After mastering the Golden Light Curse and stepping into the eightfold martial art realm, Lu Ping'an was still not sure that he would win Chen Hao in the competition, and how to deal with Lu Tianwang was also a headache.
If you don't get through these two difficulties, how can you talk about things in two years?
"Don't worry about the enemy, I can..."
"No, the situation here is very complicated. I can only solve it myself." Lu Ping'an interrupted aloud, rejecting Hu Ling's help.
If you need the help of others to get rid of the current predicament, it can only show that he is nothing more than that.
After saying this, Lu Ping'an stopped giving Hu Ling a chance to make a soft and hard bubble, and turned and walked quickly towards the door.
"Lu Pingan, stop for me!" Hu Ling was so angry at Lu Pingan's self-assertion that he shot the case, gritted his teeth and threatened, "If you dare to step out of this gate, I will break your leg!"
"Haha, I know you definitely won't." Lu Ping'an smiled freely, stepping non-stop, stepping out of the threshold and gently closing the door.
Listening to Lu Ping's footsteps going far away from the corridor, Hu Ling's shoulders kept rising and falling. She raised a tea cup high, but after thinking about it, she did not fall.
Just now in the lobby downstairs, she witnessed a servant slapped severely by the shopkeeper because he broke the dishes.
For some reason, Hu Ling suddenly remembered this scene.
Although with Hu Ling's identity and status, no one would dare say anything bad even if the Heyi Inn was demolished, but there was a voice in her mind telling her that she could no longer lose her temper like before.
The various things experienced recently gave this ignorant girl a lot of different views on herself, the Cangwu Kingdom and even the Tianyuan Continent.
"Uncle Guan, come here."
Hu Ling put the tea cup back on the table and moved towards the downstairs, greeted quietly.
However, after a few moments, Guan Xiantu appeared in front of the guest room: "What is your command?"
"You send someone to follow him to check the situation in his family." Hu Ling said with two little thumbs, "By the way, I just talked to him..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the old man didn't hear anything." Guan Xiantu lightly stroked his long beard, and said after a moment of thought, "Well, I'll go there in person and leave it to Brother Zhou."
Guan Xiantu has lived for a long time, and he is naturally clear about Hu Ling's little thought.
As the honorable guest of Cangwu Country, due to his sensitive stance, he would neither report such matters nor talk about his views with Hu Ling.
On the other side, Lu Pingan, who was walking along the remote alleys in the city, finally came outside the city lord's mansion.
Although the grouping results of the preliminary round of the Grand Competition had already been sent to each family mansion by a special person last night, there was still a crowd of people outside the city lord mansion at this time.
Most of the onlookers were ordinary people watching the excitement, and there were some cultivators who signed up for the competition in their own name, and Lu Pingan was a pure exception.
