Chapter 30 Chen Shi

Han Yan'er, as a princess, has not yet married, so she lives in the inner palace.

It is naturally inconvenient for Mo Qingkuang, a man, to enter the inner palace.

Therefore, Han Yan'er took Mo Qingkuang to a manor given to her by the royal family, called Yanyu Villa.

The two came to the hall of Yanyu Villa and found that several young people were waiting there. One of them was Tang Yu, whom Mo Qingkuang had met in the tomb of the King of Nianhua before.

"Ninth Princess, you are back?" Seeing Han Yan'er coming back, several people hurriedly greeted her.

In addition to Tang Yu, there were two men and one woman, all aged seventeen or eighteen, with simple clothing style, but exquisite materials, and they were obviously the children of the powerful in Kyoto.

"Sorry, I've kept you waiting." Han Yan'er smiled gently, "This is the recently famous Kuang Qing, who is also here to participate in the martial arts exam."

"It turns out to be Mr. Kuang. I've only heard of his name but never seen his true appearance. I'm lucky to see him today!" The woman was wearing red clothes, and there was a bit of heroism between her eyebrows. She was the first to greet Kuang Qing and looked at him curiously.

"I think you are disappointed." Han Yan'er said with a smile.

Then, she turned to introduce Mo Qingkuang: "This is Sister Gu Hongyi. She has always admired you very much and often imagined that you appeared in front of her with fluttering clothes and a graceful figure like jade."

"Yan'er, what are you talking about?" Gu Hongyi blushed and spat in a hurry.

That girl has a dream of spring. How can a genius like Kuang Qing who suddenly appeared out of nowhere not be the ideal object of their ideal husband?

Even Han Yan'er had secretly thought that Kuang Qing would be a graceful and good young man in the world.

It's a pity that now that I see him, I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Sure enough, perfect people are still extremely rare in the world.

"Okay, stop making trouble. There is also this one, Tang Yu, you should have seen the Nianhua Wangling, remember it?" Han Yan'er pointed at Tang Yu and introduced.

"Mr. Kuang." Tang Yu clasped his fists and saluted.

It was the one who was pulled by Lin Yang to be a shield. Mo Qingkuang naturally remembered and nodded: "Remember, remember, Brother Tang."

"And this one, Chen Shi, is the direct disciple of Principal Fu, the younger brother of the last martial arts champion Chen Kong, and his talent is no less than his brother!" The other one is a young man in a black robe, with an unremarkable appearance and a bit of arrogance in his expression. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, his cultivation is the highest among the crowd, reaching the second-grade martial arts master.

"I have heard of you for a long time." Kuang Qing smiled and saluted.

He didn't care about the younger brother of Fu Qing's apprentice. What he cared about was Fu Qing's apprentice Chen Kong. In the future, when he became Zheng Tao's disciple, Chen Kong would not only be his fellow apprentice, but also one of his biggest competitors.

Chen Shi nodded expressionlessly: "I heard that you are very strong? But the title of martial arts champion must be mine."

"Good luck to you." Mo Qingkuang did not argue, let's see who is the real winner on the ring.

Seeing that everyone had finished their introductions, Han Yan'er said: "I believe Dean Zheng also told you that Yuan Jianzong is going to send people to make trouble. A few of us were just discussing how to stop Yuan Jianzong's plan. When we heard that you came to sign up for the martial arts exam, we wanted to pull you in."

"What, Dean Zheng went to find you?" Tang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and Gu Hongyi and Chen Shi also had a strange look in their eyes.

"Well, Dean Zheng said that as long as I can become the martial arts champion, he will accept me as his personal disciple." Mo Qingkuang nodded.

Hearing this, several people were not surprised, but instead glanced back and forth at Mo Qingkuang and Chen Shi with a weird look.

"What? What's wrong?" Mo Qingkuang didn't know what was going on. Zheng Tao wanted to accept him as his apprentice, which was not a big deal.

With my talent, there are many people who are eager to be his disciples. What's the big deal?

Chen Shi smacked his lips, looked at Mo Qingkuang carefully again, and said, "President Zheng also told me."

Hmm? Not just me? Or did he choose Chen Shi first?

Mo Qingkuang was a little embarrassed: "Haha, that's a coincidence, haha."

"It doesn't matter. There is only one martial arts champion. If you can get the second place, I can report to the teacher and ask him to accept you as his disciple." Chen Shi said lightly.

He has been gifted since he was a child, close to the heavenly level, and is not much worse than his brother Chen Kong. But because Chen Kong was the martial arts champion of the previous session, he was accepted as a personal disciple by Principal Fu, and his reputation in the Tianxuan Empire rose rapidly.

Therefore, when ordinary people mentioned him, they often referred to him as Chen Kong's younger brother, which weakened his genius aura, which made him very angry.

Originally, his brother was under Principal Fu, and Principal Fu also clearly expressed his intention to accept him as a disciple, but he refused. Determined to become a disciple of Dean Zheng and compete with his brother for the title of the first genius in Kyoto.

Therefore, after Dean Zheng proposed the requirement of the martial arts champion, he had already regarded this martial arts champion as a sure thing.

Mo Qingkuang couldn't help but smile in his heart. This kid is even more arrogant than me?

On the surface, he also saw the argument and only said: "Then thank you in advance for your kind words, Brother Chen."

Han Yan'er knew Kuang Qing's character very well, and it didn't seem like he had good intentions when he said these nice words.

Is Kuang Qing the kind of person who easily gives in? Fortunately, Chen Shi was honest and straightforward, and didn't think much about it, otherwise, if the two continued to talk, they might fight on the spot.

He smiled and said, "Don't discuss the martial arts champion, let's talk about how to deal with the Yuanjian Sect's disruption."

"According to reliable information, the Yuanjian Sect has sent out all its elites this time, and all new disciples who are interested can fight. Even an inner disciple has been sent out." Han Yan'er arranged for a few people to sit down and said with a frown.

"Inner disciples? Aren't those over 18 not allowed to participate in the martial arts exam? The inner disciples of Yuanjian Sect are at least newcomers from the previous session, so they must be over 18 years old." Mo Qingkuang said puzzledly.

"Brother Kuang doesn't know. In Yuanjian Sect, new disciples do have to go through many tests before they can be promoted to inner disciples. But, have you forgotten that there are some geniuses who were born in the sect?" Tang Yu explained after hearing this.

"They are the children of powerful figures such as the sect master, elders, and deacons. They are inner disciples from birth and enjoy the best resources. Although they are young, their strength cannot be underestimated. At least they are better than Song Qian."

Mo Qingkuang nodded suddenly. It turns out that there are differences in family background everywhere.

Some people are born at the bottom and struggle hard to climb halfway up the mountain to rest for a while, while some people are born on the top of the mountain overlooking all living beings.

"So, this time the Yuanjian Sect's disruption is very strong! If they succeed, not only will our Tianxuan Empire lose face, but the imperial examination that has been passed down for thousands of years will also become a joke! Therefore, we must do our best to deal with it!" Han Yan'er's face became serious, and she bowed solemnly to the others.

"Princess, don't worry, we will do our best to maintain the majesty of Tianxuan!" Tang Yu, the first lackey of the Ninth Princess, immediately took the lead in expressing his position.

Gu Hongyi narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "I also want a good ranking."

Chen Shi was the calmest, with only one sentence: "The martial arts champion is mine."

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Mo Qingkuang had to shrug: "Can I refuse?"

"No!"
