"According to the rules of the preliminary stage, we can form a team of three. Let's first decide who wants to participate?" Zhangsun looked at everyone.
Needless to say, Lu Xiaoran, Tang Yuyan and others will definitely participate.
"I want to give it a try." Siqin looked at Changsun with firm eyes.
When the eldest grandson saw this, he nodded without saying anything.
"I will not participate, but leave the logistics and information to me. I must analyze the opponent's weaknesses for you before each game." Bai Chenming said. Although he can't participate in the game, he understands that this will also be his battle.
"And me." Mo Yushan raised his hand excitedly.
"Me too." Tang Xiaoyi was equally confident.
Changsun nodded, and the contestants on his side were confirmed: Changsun, Tang Yuyan, Lu Xiaoran, Siqin, Tang Hao, Li Yuan, and Lin Yuer.
The next step is to determine the grouping. There are seven people participating in the competition, and Zhangsun is a little bit in trouble.
Tang Yuyan said: "I am the strongest among you. I will team up with Si Qin and bring Tang Hao with me."
Changsun thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Siqin is still in the same group as me. First, she and I work together tacitly, and we understand each other's fighting methods and habits; second, Yu Yan, you are a strong competitor in this competition. The stronger your performance in the preliminary round, the better The less likely you are to be challenged on tour, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain good condition in such a high-intensity event.”
"So I think you should form a team among your third-year students. With your strength, there will definitely be many strong people offering you an olive branch."
Changsun analyzed rationally, but when he came to the first point, Tang Yuyan frowned unconsciously.
Although she was reluctant, Tang Yuyan also understood that now was not the time to be pretentious.
Seeing Tang Yuyan nod, the eldest grandson continued: "Then I, Siqin, and Tang Hao will form a team, and boss, you, Li Yuan, and Lin Yue'er will form a team."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Changsun continued: "The focus of the next training is on the one hand the improvement of one's own strength, and on the other hand the mutual cooperation between the three of them."
Everyone nodded, and Changsun seemed to have remembered something again, and added: "I have a little suggestion. You can practice with each other and let Chen Ming watch the battle. He will give you some constructive suggestions based on your fighting style and habits. Believe me, he's a professional at this."
Bai Chenming is full of confidence.
After everyone continued to discuss some details, they went back to prepare individually. There is still more than a month before the start of the Shenwu Cup, and time seems a bit tight.
Changsun and Siqin agreed to go to Hongxiuge Pavilion tomorrow to solve the issue of the No. 1 mine signature first.
The next day, Changsun and Siqin stood in front of the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
Looking at the Red Sleeve Pavilion, which was a hundred times more magnificent than Lishan Mountain, the eldest grandson couldn't help but feel that the various actions of young masters in the past were really a bit of a reflection.
In front of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, far from the chaos that people imagined in a dusty place, it seemed a bit clean.
There is no solemn red door at the door, but two tall red pillars, with a layer of gauze and bead curtains in the middle. What surprised Changsun the most was that a stream of water hung down from the left side of the second floor and fell directly under the rockery in front of the door. You could even see small fish in the clear water.
Such a unique design made Changsun praise him repeatedly in his heart.
The sound of water dripping, accompanied by the faint sound of the piano, made Zhangsun feel a sense of tranquility before he entered.
Lifting the gauze curtain, the eldest grandson and Siqin walked into the Red Sleeve Pavilion. As soon as they entered, the eldest grandson was immediately attracted by the melodious sound of the piano in the hall. Looking at the woman dancing to the music on the stage, the eldest grandson seemed to have returned to Lishan for a moment. day.
Si Qin was also in a daze for a while. After returning from Lishan, he never came to Hongxiu Pavilion again, mainly because he was afraid of being touched by the scene.
When he stepped here and thought of Aunt Fang and Yu Qi again, Si Qin realized that he had actually let go, and all the good things in the past came to his heart.
Just like that, Changsun and Siqin stood there blankly, immersed in their own memories, until the song ended and they dispersed.
After the sound of the piano stopped, Si Qin was the first to wake up, looked at the eldest grandson who was still thinking about it, and said, "Young Master eldest grandson's elegance has not diminished."
Changsun heard that Siqin was making fun of him, and continued: "Although it is more than one level behind Miss Siqin's music in terms of emotion and artistic conception, it is still a wonderful performance."
Changsun also had a hint of ridicule in his words.
The two used the names they used to call each other when they were in Lishan. Although they were teasing each other, it was also a kind of farewell to the past.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the eldest grandson said, "I wonder when I can hear you play another song again?"
"When you become the prince's son-in-law, I will definitely give you a congratulatory song."
"Uh..." Changsun was speechless for a moment in embarrassment.
After Si Qin finished speaking, he ignored his eldest grandson who was awkwardly standing there and walked straight to the second floor.
Changsun shook his head and followed Siqin upstairs.
When the elder and grandson reached the second floor, Hua Xiangrong happened to greet them.
"I've met the young lady." Hua Xiangrong saluted Siqin first.
Then, Hua Xiangrong punched her eldest grandson in the chest and said, "You finally remembered me. How long has it been before you gave me the news?"
The eldest grandson was a little embarrassed. Indeed, it was agreed that he would come to visit after settling down, but the eldest grandson kept putting it off, so that he forgot about it later.
"How are you doing? Why did you come to see me today?" Hua Xiangrong said.
The eldest grandson was a little embarrassed. He really wanted to ask for something from him during this trip.
"Well, I..."
Before Changsun could finish speaking, Si Qin interrupted him.
"I'm here to visit my aunt this time." Siqin said, and the aunt she mentioned was Hua Hongluo, the master of Hongxiu Pavilion.
Changsun had a brief understanding of the Pavilion Master of the Red Sleeve Pavilion. The Red Sleeve Pavilion was spread all over the Southern Territory. Being able to become the Pavilion Master was self-evident in its strength and influence. But what impressed Changsun the most was the comments made about her by the outside world.
"Luo Hong is not a heartless thing, but Hong Luo is a heartless person."
He was talking about the Pavilion Master of Hongxiu Pavilion, Hua Hongluo.
Changsun didn't know where this comment came from. He only knew that the Master of the Flower Pavilion should be difficult to deal with.
Hua Xiangrong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, my aunt has been talking about the young lady. My aunt is upstairs. Please come with me, young lady."
Hua Xiangrong led Si Qin and the two through the private room on the second floor to the third floor.
Compared with the elegant rooms on the second floor, the third floor is more secluded. The faint fragrance of flowers and numerous green plants make it feel like a paradise in the busy city.
Changsun and others came to the innermost room on the third floor. Hua Xiangrong knocked on the door and waited outside.
"Rong'er, come in."
Hua Xiangrong did not open the door, but said inside: "Auntie, the young lady is here to see you."
As soon as Hua Xiangrong finished speaking, the door was immediately opened from inside and a lady walked out.
"Qin'er is here! Rong'er, why are you knocking on the door with Qin'er?" Huahongluo said reproachfully.
"Aunt, that's right. It took me so long to come back to see you. You won't be angry with Qin'er, right?" Siqin said coquettishly.
Huahongluo took Siqin's hand and walked inside. As she walked, she said, "Of course my aunt is angry, but seeing a little girl like you, she can't vent her anger."
Siqin hugged Huahongluo's arm, leaning on Huahongluo's shoulder like a naughty junior, and said happily: "I know my aunt is the best to me."
Instead, Huahongluo looked at Siqin as if she had something on her mind: "You... it was so difficult and dangerous to come back this time, your father didn't say anything, right?"
"What can he say? When I was suffering, he didn't care about anything. If you hadn't sent Hua Xiangrong to pick me up, aunt, who knows how much more suffering I would have suffered in the future." Siqin said angrily.
Huahongluo looked at Si Qin's appearance and shook his head. He was the only one in the southern region who dared to say such things about Si Nanzheng, his precious daughter.
"You can't say that about your father. Ever since your mother left, your father has loved you the most." Huahongluo scolded softly.
When he heard the words "after your mother leaves", Siqin's mood suddenly dropped.
Huahongluo looked at Siqin's appearance and felt heartbroken.
Si Qin's mother and Hua Hongluo were sisters known throughout the Southern Territory when they were young, and their relationship was better than family love.
Huahongluo has always regarded Siqin as her own child, which can be seen from the fact that Siqin was in the Hongxiu Pavilion when he was in Lishan.
"You got angry with your father and ran away from home. You insisted on letting me send you out of Lieyang City, and finally ran to Lishan City on the edge of the Southern Territory. Do you know how angry your father was at that time? He almost died. Tear down my Hongxiu Pavilion." Huahongluo couldn't help but scold Siqin after thinking of this.
Si Qin continued to act coquettishly.
"That's because I know that only my aunt is willing to help me, and my father has nothing to do with her."
Huahongluo was helpless and tapped Siqin's forehead with her finger.
"You are the most eccentric, but do you know that your father has never been to my Red Sleeve Pavilion since then?"
"That's because he got angry at you. He's too proud to come to you. But he doesn't know that you, my aunt, are a grown-up, and you've long since ceased to know him."
Huahongluo was amused by Siqin.
"Okay, now that you're here to talk to us, who is this?"
"Hello, Pavilion Master, I am the eldest grandson." The eldest grandson introduced himself.
"Changsun, is that the young knight who escorted Qin'er at that time?" Huahongluo asked.
"Young hero doesn't dare to be a escort, and it's not an escort. To be precise, Siqin and I are traveling together." Changsun said.
Huahongluo looked her eldest grandson up and down and nodded.
"Sure enough, a hero is born from a boy. Rong'er mentioned you to me when he came back. You can indeed be called a boy hero when I see you today."
"The Pavilion Master has given you too much praise."
After a few pleasantries, Huahongluo got to the point.
"Okay, Qin'er, Auntie, you've seen it too. Everything is fine. You can tell me what else you have to do with me this time."
"Hehe, it turns out that aunt understands Qin'er best." Siqin looked at Huahongluo with a smile.
Huahong Luo also smiled.
Siqin looked at the eldest grandson, who received the signal and said: "Pavilion Master, I really have something to disturb you this time. Siqin and I jointly established a trading firm called Wanyuan Trading Firm. We are currently cooperating with Qingteng College No. 1 However, the signature has not yet been approved and the project has been suspended.”
The eldest grandson paused for a moment when he said this.
Hua Hongluo was a little shocked. She knew about Mine No. 1, which was the core project of Qingteng. There had been many forces that wanted to get involved, but they all failed in the end. Changsun is such a young boy, and he can actually cooperate with the college on the No. 1 mine project.
And from the way Si Qin naturally looked at his eldest grandson just now, it shows that Si Qin is focusing on his eldest grandson. As early as when Rong'er came back, he revealed that Qin'er seemed to have an unusual relationship with this eldest grandson.
Hua Hongluo thought to himself, and looked at the young man in front of him more highly.
