In the days where Long Bi was not around, Su Xia Yue's life was inconvenient.

The clothes that hid Mo Jin Chen's handkerchief were hung by Su Xia Yue on a hanger in the house. Every day, he would change into a new set of clothes and go to the bamboo forest to learn the all-encompassing array Art.

However, Su Xia Yue had even promised his Big Senior and Second Senior to give them their Five Elements Spirit Orbs. The team that helped the Cloud Country also increased their strength by a lot.

The sky had just begun to brighten, and it was a fine sunny day. After more than ten days of rest, the teams from the four kingdoms assembled early and set off. They ran towards the back of the mountain behind the Hundred Herb Hall Academy.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

The rousing gongs and drums echoed from the mountain behind the vast White Grass Hall.

When Su Xia Yue and the others arrived, they realized that the back mountain of Hundred Herb Hall Academy was already filled with a sea of people.

Looking around, in an empty space the size of three football fields, half of it was an arena while the remaining half was divided into the judges' area and the spectator's area.

There were four seats on the judge's seating area: Haojiao from the Han Dynasty, Dean Baili from the Cloud Country's Mirror Moon Academy, Principal Li from the Purple Night Kingdom's Royal Academy, and Principal Gao from the Gaomu. One of them was Dean Gao, who was too tall. Even when he sat down, his head was still on the branch of the big tree next to the judge's table. If he landed in a bird's nest, he would be one with the tree.

The heads of the other three academies were holding back their laughter as though they were constipated.

Then looking at the viewing platforms, they were divided into four different countries' viewing platforms. Each country's spectator seats were even divided into different ranks. There were some people with extraordinary statuses within the Four Great Empires sitting high up on the ground. At the bottom, there were the supporters of the Four Great Empires and the support groups from the academies. It could be said that there was a huge commotion.

Su Xia Yue, Xu Man Qi and the rest, representing the Han Dynasty, stood at the east side of the stage. The mysterious leader of Purple Night Kingdom led his three teammates and stood at the west side while Liu Ying Xue led the team to stand at the south side. Gaomu's team, led by Gao An Feng, stood at the northernmost point.

Su Xia Yue wasn't too concerned about these opponents since they had already been together for nearly half a month.

What she was concerned about were the few familiar faces in the viewing gallery.

One was the current Eighth Prince, Xuan Yuan Pei Ting. He had been ordered to come visit the Four Nation Competition, but he did not expect that Su Xia Yue was actually the captain. It was a lamentation that made everyone look up at him with admiration.

Just as his and Su Xia Yue's gaze intersected, they were obstructed by an even more elegant figure by the side.

This man purposely stopped in front of Eighth Prince, and when Su Xia Yue followed the man's luxurious belt and looked up, he saw Nan Gong Ling Yun's extremely handsome face that would make people furious.

Probably only he dared to stop Eighth Prince, and Eighth Prince didn't dare to get angry.

Nan Gong Ling Yun looked at Su Xia Yue from halfway up the stage. This gaze was like a bolt of lightning, hitting Su Xia Yue in an instant.

Her heart skipped a beat and she almost subconsciously avoided his gaze.

He had only not seen Su Xia Yue for half a month, but it was unexpected that a ball of blazing flames seemed to burn within his eyes, as if it was going to melt Su Xia Yue whole. After their gazes intersected for a moment, Su Xia Yue was defeated.

On the other hand, many of the women from the four nations stared at Nan Gong Ling Yun. Even the people who represented the Purple Night Kingdom s looked at their Third Prince, Nan Gong Ling Yun, for a good while. Praise poured in like a wave.

"I never thought that the Ling Wang was really as handsome and beautiful as the legends say. Just looking at the back of the figure makes one's heart tremble uncontrollably …"

"The most rare thing is that not only is he good-looking, his status is also honorable! It could be said that he was cultivating both inside and outside! If I can marry him, even if I become his concubine, my life will be worth it. "

"Yes, yes!" I just wonder what kind of attitude he would have towards his wife.

"Why is it so fierce? I heard that he is a righteous man. Other than a few maids, there are no other women in the mansion. How could such a person mistreat his wife? "

After some discussion, the focus was almost entirely occupied by him.

Xuan Yuan Pei Ting sat not too far away from him, yet seemed to be an invisible person. No one noticed him at all, nor mentioned him. Not long after, his expression became extremely gloomy.

With much difficulty, Su Xia Yue managed to retract his focus from Nan Gong Ling Yun, when he heard Xiao Qi, who was beside him, chattering to him.

"Sister Su, Sister Su!" Do you see the Ling Wang over there? He was truly a dragon and a phoenix amongst men, an extraordinary figure! And you even glanced at me just now! "

"Your senior brother Nie is standing right behind you." Su Xia Yue reminded her slowly.

Xiao Qi turned around, and sure enough, she saw Nie Shi Xun staring at her as if he wanted to devour her.

After realizing this, Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue mischievously. She no longer dared to daydream.

At this moment, an old and deep voice was heard from the high place in the arena.

"The Feast of the Four Kingdoms's competition, begins now! This time, the Feast of the Four Kingdoms Competition was divided into three rounds. All participants are invited to come to the front row to draw lots to decide the order of the matches. "

Su Xia Yue looked towards the source of the voice and discovered that it was an old man with a white beard who was presiding over the Four Kingdoms Grand Ceremony Competition.

The four contestants walked toward the old man as per his orders, while chatting amongst themselves.

"I heard that this old man has already cultivated to the Immortal Saint level and is immortal!"

"Is that so? What's his name? "

"I heard it's called Bai Hua!"

"Oh, I wonder if this person is here to trick us, but he's actually not that strong?"

"…"

Listening to these gossips, it was already Su Xia Yue's turn to go up and draw lots.

Who would have thought that the old man called Bai Hua actually backed off a little before Su Xia Yue drew his lot.
