"Oh right, there's something I need to remind you of."

The Crane Elder suddenly said, "The reason why I helped you list Linghu Xiange's name wasn't just to give you a present, but also to prevent you from being impulsive and fighting to death with that black-clothed youth. No matter which one of you is stronger, I hope that you won't provoke him. "

Chen Chang He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"That black-clothed youth is called Black Impermanence, and he belongs to a rather sinister force — — Yama Palace. The headquarters of the Underworld Palace is also in the Tiger Smoke City. If you really kill him, then the Underworld Palace will not stop until you die. "Even though Yama Minamiya is only a mid-tier power in Tiger Smoke City and is far inferior to Hidden Dragon Gate, they would never place you in their eyes."

"Thank you, senior. I will remember this."

The elder nodded his head and said, "Since that's the case, you can go back and rest. You should keep your mind in order."

Chen Chang Ku bowed three times and then left.

The old man smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

The woman in white narrowed her eyes and said after a moment, "It's really mysterious."

The old man smiled. "A small Cloud Climbing City or a small Dazong Kingdom, but to have such a mysterious and interesting young man appear, it is obvious that he has some other secrets on his person." However, no matter what, this child's cultivation is too low. He might not be able to stand out in this gathering of geniuses, but his future is bound to be limitless! "

"..."

When Chen Chang He returned to the inn, Ni Tian Ya and the others were waiting for him at the table. There were all kinds of delicious food and fine wine on the table, and even though Gong Qingteng was drooling over them, he was too embarrassed to move his chopsticks.

In these three days, everyone had eaten in the ancient city's grand formation all the dry rations they had prepared beforehand. Their stomachs were unsatisfied, and now that they had returned to the Immortal Return Restaurant, they naturally had to prepare good wine and dishes for their table.

Upon seeing Chen Chang He walk in, Ni Tian Ya immediately asked, "What did the Third Elder find you for?"

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

When the entire Immortal Return Tower arrived, everyone's gazes instantly landed on Chen Chang He.

"Is this the youth that the Third Elder summoned?"

"I heard that he just came from the Cloud Climbing City, and actually got the favor of the Third Elder."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who knows why the Third Elder is looking for him. He might not even accept him as a disciple. How could he possibly have such good luck?"

At the moment, Chen Changyu had already walked to the table and said to the people on it, "Let's go back to the room first and have the waiter bring the dishes upstairs. This is not the place to talk."

Seeing that Chen Chang'e's expression was somewhat joyful, everyone knew that Chen Chang'e's words were a good thing. They immediately arranged for the waiter to go upstairs to Chen Chang'e's room.

When the group of five arrived at Chen Chang He's room, Gong Qingteng could not wait and asked: "Big brother, what did the Third Elder say to you? Is there a need to make it so mysterious?"

Chen Chang Ku looked tenderly at Linghu Xiange, and pulled her soft hand.

Linghu Wan Ge's face first turned red, but she only subconsciously struggled for a moment before allowing Chen Chang'e to hold onto her hand.

For some reason, when facing Chen Chang Si, she would blush easily and soften easily.

Ni Tian Ya pouted and said, "Hey, hey, hey. It can't be that the two of you want to show our love in front of us, right?"

Linghu Xiange also lowered her head and asked, "Chang'e, what happened?"

Chen Chang He laughed, "The Third Elder wanted me to become his disciple, so do not be enticed by the other elders. I agreed to one condition."

Gong Qingteng immediately opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "The Third Elder wants to take you as his disciple, and you still dare to put your conditions?"

Linghu Xiange also asked with a worried frown, "Third Elder won't be angry, will you?"

Chen Chang He smiled and shook his head, "The Third Elder was not angry and agreed to my request."

Suddenly, Hong Lingtong who had been silent all this time said, "Could it be that your condition is to let Linghu Xiange pass the elimination round?"

Chen Chang He immediately nodded: "Yes!" In other words, the five of us can go to the Fiery Tiger City to participate in the official competition! This matter concerns the justice and reputation of Hidden Dragon Gate, so it's not appropriate to speak in front of so many people on the first floor.

"Wah!" "That's great!"

Gong Qingteng suddenly cheered, "I originally thought that sister-in-law wouldn't be able to travel with us, but I never thought that there would be such a situation!"

Linghu Xiange was startled as well. Her eyes revealed a strong sense of surprise as she said, "Really?"

Chen Chang'e laughed. "Absolutely true!"

Ni Tian Ya smiled and said, "This is indeed a good news. Since that's the case, we have to get drunk tonight."

At this time, the waiter had already served up all the food and drinks. Gong Qingteng's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Yes, yes! "Eat first, drink first!"

As he said this, Gong Qingteng stretched out his hand and tore a big chicken leg from a plate of salted water chicken and started munching on it in a beautiful manner.

This time, Ni Tian Ya did not stop him and directly smiled, "I'm used to eating rations, so I do miss these delicacies. Since Chen Chang He is back, let's eat."

"Eat!"

Gong Qingteng nibbled on the salty brine chicken leg as he excitedly raised his right hand.

Thereafter, everyone began to celebrate. They were celebrating the fact that all of them had passed the elimination round, and also celebrating that Chen Chang He had been chosen as their disciple by the Third Elder.

Everyone was a drinker, so they drank until late at night before ending. Fatty Gong, who was completely drunk, fell asleep on the floor, while Ni Tian Ya blurrily ran to Chen Chang He's bed to sleep, muttering some words that no one could understand. Even Hong San, who had always been alert and awake like a wild beast, sat on the bench and began to snore.

Chen Chang He and Linghu Xiange were also a little dizzy, but they had not fallen asleep yet.

Chen Chang He's eyes were wide opened from the alcohol, but he still looked at the flushing beauty in front of him and said: "There is still a pot of wine on the table, if we do not finish it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Linghu Xiange chuckled. The wildness that had originally surfaced on her exquisite face had vanished, leaving behind only a trace of a cute and innocent look. "Fine, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink with me."

"Pui, how can I not drink with you?"

Chen Changsheng looked at the moon and stars outside the window, and suddenly said, "Why don't we go drink on the roof?"

Linghu Xiange said, "Just go, who's afraid of who?"

Thus, Chen Chang He and Linghu Xiange supported each other and entered the courtyard. With the increase of spiritual energy, they stood on the handrail and walked up to the roof.

The two of them were drunk. When they reached the roof, their feet slipped and they almost fell down the stairs.

The two of them supported each other and sat down. Chen Chang'e picked up the wine pot and drank a mouthful, then passed it to Linghu Xiange.

Linghu Wan Ge didn't mind. He too picked up the same wine jug and drank a mouthful from it.

Linghu Wan Ge was drunk. Pointing at the stars and the moon in the sky, she said charmingly, "Those moons and stars are so beautiful."

Chen Chang He leaned his body back, supporting himself with both hands, he squinted his eyes and said: "Yes, it's really beautiful."

The stars and moon in the sky were very beautiful, but beneath this beauty was a pain that Chen Chang He could not bear, a pain in his heart.

Hadn't he been singing wine on the roof like Hilly, hugging each other, watching the stars and the moon in the sky?

She had brought him so much joy, but now all she could give him was pain and hatred.

So love and hate really only existed in a single thought.

The corners of Chen Chang He's eyes started to tear up.

He was a man. Men shouldn't show their vulnerability in front of others, but after drinking a few cups of cat piss, who could control their emotions?

Chen Chang Ku suddenly poured all the wine onto his face.

The wine and tears mixed together, making it impossible for people to tell which drop was the tear and which drop was the wine.

Chen Chang He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with an indescribable unyielding determination.

I, Chen Chang He, have flesh and blood and can cry, but my weakness, will not only not be seen by others, even the Heavens will not see it!

Linghu Wan Ge didn't see Chen Chang He's tears, but his emotions.

She couldn't see her emotions, but she did.

She saw grief, saw anger, saw helplessness, and saw the stubbornness unique to the man in front of her.

Suddenly, Linghu Wan Ge's heart ached, and he laid on Chen Chang Ku's chest.

She did not care that Chen Changsheng's clothes had been drenched in wine, she just wanted to lie there and feel Chen Chang He's temperature, his heartbeats, and at the same time, let Chen Chang'er feel her own temperature.

The warmth from his chest allowed Chen Chang He's heart to calm down for a moment.

Linghu Wan Ge was the first woman in Chen Chang Zai's life to give him a warm feeling.

Chen Chang He caressed her hair and said with a warm smile, "If one day I were to come to your house to marry you, would you be willing to marry me?"

Linghu Xiange didn't say anything for a long time.

The corner of Chen Chonglou's lips suddenly turned bitter as he said, "This question … Is it me... That's too rash! "

At this moment, her eyes were brighter than the stars and moon in the sky.

Her lips drew a happy curve. At this moment, her smile was even more beautiful than the stars and moon in the sky.

"I did not answer because at that moment, I suddenly felt that what you said was natural. I've never been so sure of one thing as I was at that moment. I just hope... "Chen Lang, don't let me down."

Chen Lang!

Husband's man!

Chen Chang He's heart suddenly trembled and burned with passion.

He looked at the fervent woman in front of him and finally could no longer hold himself back. He slowly pressed down his lips.

This layer of paper, which had been there all the way, was finally broken …

"..."

The next morning, after Ni Tian Ya and the others woke up, they rubbed their aching heads, lamenting that they shouldn't have drank so much last night. However, the three of them suddenly realized that Chen Chang He and Linghu Xiange had disappeared.

Ni Tian Ya and company searched the entire Immortal Returning Tower but were unable to find them. Just as they were getting anxious, Chen Chang He and Linghu Xiange walked in hand towards Immortal Returning Tower.

Ni Tian Ya widened her eyes and asked, "Where did the two of you go?"

Chen Chang'e smiled. "Naturally, I went to the square to look at the name list. The Third Elder did not go back on his words, and all five of us are on the list."

As expected, Ni Tian Ya's attention was attracted to the leaderboard and she said, "It won't be any better than this." "After the list is updated this morning, we will leave for Tiger Smoke City tonight. That is one of the three largest cities in the entire Green Sky Realm. I heard that there is only one town larger than an entire kingdom, so I really don't know how to manage such a huge city."

Chen Chang Xiao laughed, "That's why the three cities say that the City Lords are not easy to deal with."

At this time, Gong Qingteng suddenly said in surprise, "Wow! Look, Boss and Sister-in-law are holding hands. Honestly speaking, didn't you guys do something inappropriate when we were drunk last night? "

Chen Chang He immediately kicked him and said, "Damn fatty, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Ni Tian Ya also noticed the hands of the two and immediately understood. She smiled and said, "The window paper has finally been pierced. Congratulations."

If this was in the past, then she would have retracted her hand by now, but this time, although her face was a little red, she was openly teasing the crowd. It was obvious that she had already confirmed Chen Chang'e's existence in her heart.

Chen Chang Mo pulled Linghu Xiange to sit down, and ordered some breakfast from the waiter, and said: "Let's not talk about other things first, I have another piece of news that I found out about when I went out this morning."

Gong Qingteng asked, "What news?"

Chen Chang Chen said: "All the Lightning Birds that were kept in Hong Xing City have set out, and one of them should be able to reach Cloud Climbing City by tonight."

Gong Qingteng asked, "What's a Lightning Bird?"

Ni Tian Ya had a happy expression on her face just now, but when she heard his words, she immediately slapped his head and said, "You only know how to eat. You don't even know what a Lightning Bird is." The Lightning Bird is a Rank 1 Demonic Beast with a very strong reproductive ability. Although it is not aggressive, its speed is extremely fast. The major cultivation sects usually train the Lightning Bird to transmit information.

Gong Qingteng finally understood and said: "The reason that Hong Xing City has sent out the Lightning Bird is because they want the Lightning Bird to inform all forces of the competition's result."

Ni Tian Ya suddenly revealed a trace of anticipation on her face, "If my father knew that all five of the people from the Cloud Climbing City had passed the Hidden Dragon Gate selection, he would probably be very happy."

Chen Chang He also raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew very well that if there was a Lightning Bird heading to Dasong Kingdom, not only would it notify them of the news regarding Dazong's group, it would also tell them of Chen Chang He.

When the Lightning Bird arrived at the Dasong Kingdom, what expressions and moods would the royal family and nobles of the Dasong Kingdom have when they heard this news?

He was also looking forward to it.

After that, everyone chatted for a while, and after breakfast, they went back to their own rooms to cultivate.

No matter who it was, in the face of a dangerous future, the only way to go further was to work hard to become stronger.

It wasn't until night did Chen Changyu bring Linghu Xiange, Ni Tianya and the other two to the center of the plaza with them, along with all the participants who had passed the preliminary auditions.

Everyone was waiting for the high-grade magic tool, the Flying Spirit Boat, to arrive from Tigersmoke City. At the same time, two of the Lightning Bird hordes that had set off from Hongxing City had arrived at the capital of the Mountain Cloud Climbing City and the Dazong Kingdom respectively.
