In fact, Ningxia has participated in many such competitions, either personally participating or watching, and they are all considered big events, and there are many dangers and dangers in them. So Ningxia is very calm now, and the more she experiences, the more comfortable she can face this kind of scene.
The venue was not as big as expected, the size of a normal palace, but it was sufficiently impressive. I don't know what kind of inlay is on the vault, but it glows with a metallic luster under natural light, giving it a slightly sacred feel.
The black bricks laid on the ground should be cotton charcoal, which can absorb sound and a small amount of vibration. Houses built with this material will be much quieter.
In addition, the venue was already very quiet. As Ningxia and the others walked along, they felt that the entire venue was a little too quiet.
The two people from Ningxia took their seats smoothly according to the marked seats. Just when she wanted to sit in the side seat as usual, she was stopped by Yuan Heng's movement, and Ning Xia cast a questioning look at him.
"You are the one participating in the selection, and you should sit in the main seat. Today, I will act as the judge for you." Zhenjun Yuanheng held Ningxia down and automatically retreated to the side. The only difference is that when doing side position, Ningxia will choose to take a step back to show respect. Zhenjun Yuanheng sat side by side with Ning Xia behind the same table.
Looking at it this way, Ningxia's team of "fake masters and apprentices" is particularly different. Especially compared to other master-disciple combinations in the field, they seemed more intimate.
"...Those two people are a little unfamiliar. I don't know which family they are from. How come I have never seen them before?"
"Hey, you guys, please be careful. Whenever you have eyes, the one next door is the Nascent Soul Lord!"
"No way. How bold is that disciple? He actually asked True Monarch Nascent Soul to sit in the side seat? It can't be a young lady from some family who is traveling."
"How is it possible? I haven't seen any of the young monks in the upper echelons of Xunyang City? Besides, that girl's cultivation is not weak. If I had seen her, I wouldn't have been unimpressed."
"You can just say it with all your heart. Now that you have broken the skill, who did you pretend to be prepared for? It was for us to see. Let me just say that I have never seen you serious in all the years I have known you Guo Afang. Why are you so serious all of a sudden? You really have a plan to reduce my attention." The man had no expression on his face, but he said such funny words seriously.
The person involved blushed immediately. He didn't expect that he would be caught and joked: "You..."
"puff--"
...Ningxia over there obviously didn't notice that they had become the talk of others, and thought that the moment of silence when they came in just now was a buffer space created by someone coming in. When they sat down, the whispers were sparse and normal, and they didn't care.
The judges at the top five seats could see clearly, taking into account Ningxia's movements and the reactions of others.
A middle-aged man sitting in a side seat. Judging from the outside, he was really not very good-looking. He was tall and thick-set, with a cold eyebrow and a ferocious intention coming out of his eyebrows, shooting towards everyone who looked at him. If I had to describe him, he has the temperament of a gangster, quite ferocious.
However, the temperament that only a strong person possesses cannot be ignored. This person is probably not a showman.
He gave a short, hoarse laugh. It doesn't matter if you don't smile, but this smile makes people feel uncomfortable, just like the astringent feeling when teeth bite on cardboard, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
"This is really an interesting pairing. Very interesting... This is the first time I have seen this disciple disrespect his master so much. Times have changed now, and even habits have changed. The rules of respecting the master are respected I'm afraid there are fewer and fewer people. This is a sacred place for preaching and attaining enlightenment, not a place to raise children." His words seemed to mean something.
"And..." The other party suddenly changed his words and said: "Cui Sanxi, I remember that you recommended this good number for your granddaughter. It made a lot of jokes back then. How could it suddenly happen? Someone has changed. But your granddaughter is sitting here with you..." He turned his head and looked at the thin figure behind Cui Ying, sitting quietly, not even moving when he heard his words, too quiet. .
Yue Nan suddenly felt very boring, and the words that came to her mouth were a bit boring. This girl was not like this before, she would explode at the first moment, with a small expression written on her face, she was not the same as her hypocritical grandfather. If he hadn't been at odds with her grandfather, he would have actually found this girl quite pleasing to his eye.
Alas, it was spur of the moment. I'm used to antagonizing this old guy Cui Ying. If I catch him with a sore leg, I want to pull him out and whip him several times. Having said that, I can't help but feel a little regretful. It's really unkind to take it out on the little girl.
But now that I have said it all, it would be shameful to take it back suddenly. He had to stop talking in time and barely used it to express the profound meaning behind it.
Cui Ke's lack of reaction did not mean that his grandfather was also dead.
Cui Ying has been exhausted by Cui Ke's incident these days. Parents care about their children. Although Cui Ying is only Cui Ke's grandfather, he did bring her up with his own hands. His heart is no different from that of his parents.
Cui Ke was trapped in this suffering, and Cui Ying also felt pain. It was not pleasant to watch his child self-destruct step by step and emerge from the ashes. The pain in his heart was even no less than that of Cui Ke.
He may have to bear an additional layer of fear. He is afraid of the moment when his child fails to be reborn and completely falls into the abyss.
Therefore, not only Cui Ke was feeling uncomfortable these days, but he was also feeling very uncomfortable.
He was originally thinking about what to do if he had to go out for today's assessment, and whether he should send her to her parents first so that she wouldn't have other ideas while sitting alone in the yard.
Not wanting to be decadent for many days, Cui Ke, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly asked him if he was going to the appraisal site.
Then...asked if I could take her with me.
This sudden request really shocked Cui Ying. This is wrong. He never expected Cui Ke to react like this.
He thought she might cry or get angry, but he never thought she would make such a request. After all, the matter started with appraisal and competition, so it was normal for her not to want to face it. Under such circumstances, he still wanted to serve as the judge...even he felt a little guilty.
But this was an order from above, and it was hard for him to disobey it, even though he had faintly disobeyed the guild once before. This time it can no longer be pushed.
There was a shortage of people for the assessment and a lack of reviewers. He knew that he had no excuse to avoid it this time.
He was already prepared to be questioned by Cui Ke, but he didn't expect...
The other party turned the tide and was willing to come out of her shell. This can be regarded as a big improvement in these days, and it is also the best news he has heard.
