126: Chapter 126 A Bad Premonition

Hearing Leng Ruoxi's words, Leng Ming also looked at his grandfather with doubt in his eyes.

After all, calling them over this late at night...

What did it mean?

Old Master Leng looked at them. "The nominations for this year's star of huaxia from the Eastern War Zone have come out!"

Boom!

Those words exploded like thunder from the nine heavens.

They struck their hearts fiercely.

Leng Ming and Leng Ruoxi exchanged a glance.

As for this, Leng Ruoxi wasn't too worried; after all, her older brother's strength was plain to see.

Coupled with the Leng family's power and their ability to boost strength...

While he might not compare to those few Prodigy Scions of Prominent Families in super-first-tier Barriers like Magic City...

He could definitely secure a spot!

They looked at Old Master Leng's expression.

They also felt something wasn't quite right.

Grandpa, why does he have that expression?

Could it be...

Leng Ming said softly, "Grandpa, it couldn't be that I wasn't nominated, right?"

"Mm!"

Old Master Leng said as he let out a sigh.

Whoosh!

In an instant, both Leng Ming and Leng Ruoxi's eyes widened, simply unable to believe what they had heard!

He actually hadn't received a nomination!

This!

How was it possible!

According to their previous calculations, there shouldn't have been any problem with him getting a nomination!

How did it change just like that?

"Who is it!"

Doubt filled Leng Ming's eyes.

Old Master Leng showed the Materials in his hand to Leng Ming.

Leng Ruoxi did the same, leaning in to look at the Materials.

"Ye Qing? I've never heard of him." Leng Ruoxi looked at this unfamiliar name; she had never heard of him. Where did this powerful expert come from? He definitely wasn't among the ranks of the previous first-tier or super-first-tier Barriers!

"This person is from the Sucheng Barrier. Recently, the Sucheng Barrier encountered an Exotic Beast Tide, and this Ye Qing became famous in a single battle during that tide!"

"I looked at the Materials; it's not that this person is exceptionally strong or powerful."

"But rather, he's strange!"

"This person's Spirit Tool is very strange. Most of its abilities are suited for large-scale group combat."

"Therefore, when someone like this appeared during the World-Overturning Level Beast Tide, it produced such an effect."

"According to our previous estimates, he's the one who took your spot!"

As Old Master Leng spoke, Leng Ming looked at Ye Qing's Materials again.

It was just as the old man said.

This guy's Spirit Tool was very strange; as for how strong he was himself, they didn't know.

However, it probably wasn't very high.

After all, when they were calculating the Powerful Experts before, they had factored in several times the usual number and still hadn't discovered this one.

"Then what do we do now? Is there really no way for Brother's star of huaxia quota?" Leng Ruoxi asked.

Old Master Leng sat down and thought for a moment.

"It's not that there's no way."

As he spoke, Leng Ming's eyes lit up. "Grandpa, tell us quickly."

"This is currently only a nomination, and it hasn't been made public yet. We obtained this through special channels. As long as you find Ye Qing and defeat him before it's announced, you can force the military to change the results."

"After all, the star of huaxia represents the thirty strongest young people in Huaxia. If one of them is defeated, how could they still be listed as a star of huaxia? Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

Those few short sentences were like a wake-up call to a dreamer.

Leng Ming nodded. "I understand, Grandpa. I'll go to the Sucheng Barrier right now to find Ye Qing. This time, I must defeat him. This position as a star of huaxia will definitely be mine!"

"Good! It's good to have this ambition!"

Old Master Leng stood up.

He blew a whistle!

Thump, thump, thump!

Outside, the sound of the earth shaking could be heard!

After a moment, a massive exotic beast with an extremely strange appearance stood outside!

It looked like a horse but wasn't a horse!

It looked like a deer but wasn't a deer!

A literal Four-unlike!

However, there was a surging Killing Intent in its eyes!

"Since we don't know when the military will announce the star of huaxia, you must hurry to the Sucheng Barrier to find Ye Qing. Force him to duel you at all costs, and the more people who know about it, the better."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I'll go find Xiaoling now, and we'll set off immediately." Leng Ming said, preparing to call his Spirit Tool.

Beside him, Leng Ruoxi watched and said, "I'm going too!"

"Hm?" Leng Ming turned back and looked at Leng Ruoxi. "What are you going for? Your strength... you just stay home honestly and wait for me to come back!"

"Hey! Who are you insulting! So what if my strength isn't great? But I have plenty of ideas in my head. If we get there and he avoids the fight, maybe I can give you some advice!"

"Brother, I must go this time!"

As Leng Ruoxi spoke, seeing Leng Ming's stern expression, she turned to look at Old Master Leng. "Grandpa, say something."

"Fine, fine, fine. Leng Ming, your sister is right. She may not have much else, but she does have a lot of clever ideas. If she goes, she might actually be able to help you."

Leng Ruoxi: "..." Good grief, Grandpa, are you praising me?

Or insulting me!

"Fine then!"

Leng Ming glanced at Leng Ruoxi; this girl was probably just going out to play.

Leng Ming couldn't worry about that much now and went to call his Spirit Tool.

They mounted the Four-unlike and set off!

"Go!"

Leng Ming patted the back of the Four-unlike.

"Grandpa! We're leaving!"

"Be careful!" Old Master Leng watched and gave a word of caution.

"It's fine, Grandpa. With me there, nothing will go wrong. This time, we will definitely return in victory!"

Leng Ruoxi also spoke up.

Then, the Four-unlike began to gallop. Leng Ruoxi and the others disappeared, but Leng Ruoxi's voice still echoed in the air.

"Was it a mistake to let Ruoxi go along?"

Old Master Leng stroked his chin. This girl's voice was still echoing in the air, making him shake his head. "Her Spirit Tool truly is a guqin; even her voice is so resonant and powerful."

"Children and grandchildren will find their own fortunes."

Saying that, Old Master Leng went back to sleep.

Atop the Four-unlike.

Leng Ruoxi gripped the Four-unlike's fur as they galloped wildly.

"Woo-hoo!"

"What a refreshing feeling!"

"I've wanted to ride Grandpa's exotic beast for a long time!"

"This is a Zhenjiang Mid-stage exotic beast!"

"Eh? Brother, Sister-in-law, why aren't you talking? From your expressions, you don't seem very happy!"

On the road, Leng Ruoxi spoke.

Beside her, Leng Ming listened to her words.

As expected.

He hadn't guessed wrong!

This girl.

All that about giving him advice was fake!

She just wanted to come out and play herself!

You could tell by how excited she was now!

Slap!

Leng Ming directly slapped his own forehead. Why did he have such a bad premonition about this trip!
