Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 328 Shock
Seeing the young man standing in front of him holding the roster and staring at him in astonishment, Gui Chen closed his eyes.

Ying Baoyue quietly watched the two teenagers standing opposite each other.

The second in command of the former Qin team who wanted to stop Ying Xun from playing yesterday.

Huo Zhan.

He is the captain of the team that Guichen was assigned to during the primary ceremony.

At the same time, he was also the eldest son of the Huo family, a family of military officers second only to the founding heroes of the former Qin Dynasty.

Seeing the way this man looked at Gui Chen in astonishment, Ying Baoyue added another identity to him in his heart.

That was Guichen's childhood.

The Patriarch of the Huo family used to be a subordinate of Gui Chen's grandfather, the old general Gui, and the Huo family and Gui family had a close relationship.

"Gui Chen... the eldest son of the former Great Sima of the Qin Dynasty..." Huo Zhan stared at the name book in his hand, then raised his head and stared blankly at the young man who stood quietly in front of him with an unfamiliar face, "Is it really you?"

Gui Chen looked at him quietly, "Well, if it is said to be the eldest son of the former Qin Da Sima, then it is indeed me."

He had seen Huo Zhan at the banquet at Jixia back then, but Huo Zhan hadn't seen him, an unknown pawn in the crowd, so it was unusual for him to be so surprised at this time.

Gui Chen looked at Huo Zhan and said calmly, "Huo Zhan, long time no see."

"But why are you..." Facing Gui Chen's greetings, Huo Zhan didn't respond, he just frowned.

Why is this person here?

He did still remember the name Guichen, even after his family moved to Nanchu, he had asked someone to inquire about returning home.

Huo Zhan did have a playmate named Guichen when he was young, but it is not accurate to say it was a playmate.Back then, the status of Guijia was higher than that of the Huo family. When the old General Gui was still alive, Guijia was in full swing, and the Huo family lived by him.The elders in the family urged him thousands of times to make friends with the grandson of the old general Gui.

Like a follower, he followed that little boy named Gui Chen every day.

Until he awakened at the age of six, Gui Chen has never been able to show his talent in cultivation.The way people looked at them gradually changed.

Later, the old General Gui passed away, and the Gui family was in chaos. Gui Chen, who was eight years old and hadn't shown his talent in cultivation, became an outcast of the family.Huo Zhan also went to Nanchu with the Huo family, and since then he has never seen this Gui family boy who fell from the clouds into the quagmire again.

Later he heard that Gui Chen was kicked out of the house together with his mother and sister.From the perspective of the aristocratic family, falling into such a miserable situation is really no different from dying.It's not like he didn't sigh, but that young man of the Gui family who was once so glorious may have long since passed away.

And Huo Zhan never dreamed that he would meet this boy again in this place today.

What he didn't expect was that the trash who was once the laughingstock of the aristocratic family has now become a practitioner and has the qualifications to participate in the primary ceremony.

"You..." Huo Zhan frowned and looked at Gui Chen, "Why are you on the list? Why did I..."

He has always been by Ying Xun's side, why has he never seen Guichen's name on the roster before?

Seeing Huo Zhan's questioning eyes, Gui Chen's heart sank, but at this moment Ying Baoyue stood by his side.

"Your Highness..." Huo Zhan recovered from the shock at this moment, bowed to Ying Baoyue, raised his head, and remembered in a daze that he saw that this young man came with this woman.

Gui's abandoned son and Ying's princess are actually together, what is going on?

"I'm afraid it's because I added it later," Gui Chen's voice sounded at this time, and Huo Zhan was shocked, looking at the young man in front of him who spoke neither humble nor overbearing.

"I was qualified through the screening of the upper fourth house, so I added it later," Gui Chen pouted to the list in his hand.

"It was added later? Wait, why are you a practitioner?" Huo Zhan didn't care about anything else, but just stared at Gui Chen questioningly.

Others don't know the details of Gui Chen, but he does. Back then, Gui Jia tried various methods but failed to awaken him, so he could only give up in the end, admitting that Gui Jia's eldest grandson is just an ordinary person.

It is impossible for ordinary people to become practitioners.

So how did he get in here?

"I..." Gui Chen looked at Huo Zhan's condescending gaze, which he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I don't know about others, but he is a genuine practitioner," at this moment a clear female voice came, making the listener shudder like cutting gold.

The other practitioners who were sneaking eyes and whispering and pointing were startled.

"Dian..." Huo Zhan was taken aback suddenly, but he never took the woman beside him seriously.No matter how bluffing they are, the people of the former Qin Dynasty believed that they knew the details of Princess Baoyue, but it was just a vase princess who was unanimously believed in the country.

But at this moment, the girl's slender body than Huo Zhan remembered stood in front of Gui Chen.

"Mr. Huo," Ying Baoyue looked at him with a kind smile, "do you have any opinion on my guard?"

"Guard?" Huo Zhan's eyes widened, he was amazed by the meaning behind this sentence and that this woman would stand up at this time.

To actually stand up for such a young man who is useless to the family and the royal family.

The sons of the aristocratic family don't do useless things, and the royal family is getting worse. What's the matter with this woman?

"I..." Huo Zhan looked at the girl in front of her and the boy behind her, gritted his teeth, and said, "I don't have any objections, but Your Highness, even if he is a practitioner, he is only at the tenth rank, and he will only drag everyone behind in the crowd battle." Legs, Cao Min suggested that if His Royal Highness really cares about the former Qin Dynasty, let him ask for his dismissal!"

Self-resignation... dragging one's feet...

Gui Chen's pupils shrank when he heard the words, and he felt a sharp sword piercing his heart, and a tremor rose from the top to the bottom.

There were also laughter and whispers from other practitioners in the courtyard.

However, at this moment, a girl's laughter interrupted all of this.

"Dian..." Huo Zhan widened his eyes, looking at the girl who suddenly laughed in front of him.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" His voice could not help but cool down.

"It's not up to you to say whether he will slow down or not," Ying Baoyue stopped smiling and glanced at Huo Zhan, but Huo Zhan felt a chill in his heart for some reason, "Besides, the captain didn't say anything else when he came up." I don’t think it’s appropriate to dissuade the players first.”

Huo Zhan's face was ugly, but at this moment the roster in his hand was suddenly pulled, and he looked at the girl opposite in amazement.

"I won't persuade my people to ask for their dismissal, but you have to add another person to your roster." Ying Baoyue smiled.

"Who?" Huo Zhan's face was almost green.

"Of course..." The girl in front of her smiled and pointed at herself, "It's me."

"My lord!" Huo Zhan's eyes widened. This matter was no longer in his control, so he could only look at Ying Xun who was not far away.

I've noticed that Ying Xun's head hurts just looking at it. This woman is not stingy about using everything.

But it is obviously safer to put her under the control of someone he can trust than to leave her alone without knowing what she will do.

Huo Zhan is a practitioner of the sixth rank, no matter what kind of sorcery Ying Baoyue possesses, it is obviously more than enough to control this woman.

Ying Xun subconsciously didn't want to put her in his team.For some reason, he always felt that being too close to this woman would make him feel very dangerous, as if something out of his control was about to come out.

"Ah Zhan," Ying Xun glanced at Huo Zhan, "His Royal Highness, please."

Huo Zhan's face was completely dark.
