Chapter 888 Twin female monarchs? (asking for a monthly ticket or2)

Lu Jinghong made a few complaints.

Song Zhian and Yu Mili didn't know how to respond.

Sha Ergou didn't care about all this. He was the last one to enter. He looked around and his stomach growled.

His old face suddenly turned red, and he stammered out half of Miss Yu's thoughts:

"It's almost time for dinner, what are we waiting for here?"

Song Zhian looked around and said:
"Senior Sister Yuan asked us to come here and wait. We will get the Wu clothing and swords later before leaving. In addition, Senior Uncle Tang has something to tell us..."

Miss Yu tilted her head and said with envy:

"I guess he's reminding you, Sister Song. Most of us girls are going to enter Taotang for cultivation and spend more time with Uncle Tang. But Uncle Tang has given special instructions to you, Sister Song, who are selected by important halls such as Qiutang and Caotang for further study...

"It seems that they will also give out some exclusive items that my Taotang Yue girls don't have. They are no worse than Liu Qing and Chen Jiaxin who were directly selected as disciples of the female monarch."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Rong also looked around and asked:
"By the way, where are they? Why aren't they here?"

Lu Jinghong held the sword and nodded:

"The assessment in the secret room just ended. The Sixth Lady came out in person and announced the results. Then they were called over. It seems that Liu Qing went to see the First Lady, and Chen Jiaxin was taken away by the Sixth Lady."

Ouyang Rong asked calmly, "Did these two female monarchs choose them?"

Song Zhian nodded, then shook her head. When she mentioned these two girls, there was an indescribable envy in her tone:

"Miss Liu Qing is the undisputed champion of this Yuenu Assessment. As expected, the eldest lady accepted her as her disciple. However, Chen Jiaxin was not accepted by the sixth lady herself. The sixth lady accepted Chen Jiaxin for the fifth lady. The fifth lady was unable to come because of something, so the sixth lady did it for her."

Ouyang Rong was a little surprised: "Accepting disciples on my behalf?"

Song Zhian nodded solemnly: "Well, the two ladies seem to have a good relationship."

Yu Mili didn't know what she was thinking of, her eyes were full of gossip. She looked around, covered her mouth with her hand, and muttered softly:
"Hey, I heard someone say that the relationship between the Sixth Lady and the Fifth Lady is not simple. They seem to have the same appearance and are a pair of twin sisters. The Fifth Lady is the older sister. Hmm, I don't know how twins are divided into sisters...

"But the two ladies seem to have very different personalities. The Sixth Lady is more active and interacts more with us ordinary girls. She also makes Qiutang Yuenu very active in Jianze... The Fifth Lady appears less often and is more respected. It is said that she has been practicing in seclusion all year round and guarding a forbidden area..."

Song Zhian's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Yu Mili without interrupting. It was earlier than she had heard.

Ouyang Rong was a little surprised, as he had never heard the embroiderer mention it before.

Lu Jinghong nodded slowly:
"This situation is indeed rare, but Jianze is a hidden sect, so it is normal for there to be many strange people and strange things. Moreover, I just saw the face of the Sixth Lady from afar... She doesn't look like our Han girl..."

Miss Yu was immediately surprised and asked, "Mr. Lu, you mean that the Fifth Lady, the Sixth Lady and the First Lady are similar, and are also..."

Lu Jinghong shook his head: "It's definitely not the same alien race... It's just a guess."

He held the sword and raised his head, his expression somewhat mysterious.

Ouyang Rong noticed that Song Zhian, who was cautious in her words and actions and did not participate in gossip, seemed to glance sideways at Mr. Lu who liked to keep things in suspense.

Sha Ergou listened with curiosity, his focus shifted a little, and he asked:

"Twins? If they walk outside, wouldn't it be easy to mistake them? What if we call the wrong one when we see them next time?"

Song Zhian said softly:

"It's very simple. The Fifth Lady has her hair tilted to the left, and you've seen the Sixth Lady, whose hair tilts to the right. If you pay a little attention, it's easy to tell them apart. However, the Fifth Lady rarely shows up, as she concentrates on her training... like today, when she recruits a disciple, it's the Sixth Lady who does it for her. In most cases, the one you meet is the Sixth Lady."

Yu Mili muttered:

"Although Sister Chen is annoying, her talent is indeed beyond reproach. She was accepted as a disciple by the Fifth Lady. Hmm, but I still think it's a pity for Sister Song. Your Excellency the Lady should have a discerning eye for talent and also accept Sister Song as a disciple..."

Song Zhian immediately glared at her:
"Mi Li, keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense."

Yu Mili shrank her head, stuck out her tongue, and closed her mouth.

Song Zhian's voice softened a little, and Ouyang Rong saw her serious face and said:
"I'm lucky to be admitted to Qiutang. This time, the Six Lady Kings only selected three people to enter. I'm a little flattered."

Ouyang Rong listened for a while like an unknown person, then asked:
"Is this Qiutang in charge of the Sixth Lady?"

Song Zhian nodded casually, somewhat absentmindedly: "Yeah."

After hearing this, Sha Ergou looked envious and asked directly:

"Miss Song, what is this Qiutang for? Why do those girls envy you so much? Is it better than that Caotang? I see that Caotang has selected six people, and Qiutang has even fewer people. It should be more powerful, right?"

Yu Mili answered first, looking proud:

"That's for sure. Qiutang is personally managed by the Sixth Lady, which shows how important it is. As for Caotang, I heard that there was also a very senior lady in charge of it, but she later resigned. Caotang has become less influential, and its authority has been taken away by Qiutang...

"It's definitely a good thing that Sister Song can go there. Didn't you see the envious and jealous looks of the other girls? Especially those annoying girls who followed Chen Jiaxin, they all seemed to want to eat Sister Song and take her place. But they are just dreaming, hehe."

Ouyang Rong turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

Several ladies looked at him frequently with unfriendly looks.

It seems that even in Jianze, where the emphasis is on sworn brotherhood, there is a natural tendency for quarrels among women.

Ouyang Rong nodded secretly.

Lu Jinghong couldn't help but interrupt:
"Qiu Tang seems to be in charge of Jianze's external affairs, but unlike the halls under the Second Lady who are responsible for the affairs down the mountain, the Sixth Lady and Qiu Tang are responsible for the affairs within the surrounding Yunmengze, including treasure hunting, spy alerts, etc.

"Generally, the Yue girls of Qiutang are quite wealthy, because many of the resources in Jianze are obtained by Qiutang from outside. The six female monarchs also often go deep into Yunmengze... Qiutang Yue girls are all extraordinary."

He lowered his voice again and whispered:

"And what Miss Yu said is right. After my aunt passed away, Caotang did decline a bit. Qiutang has a lot of people and is a very powerful hall. Naturally, they took away some of the responsibilities of maintaining the rules of the hall. The Yue girls in Qiutang are very glorious, and Miss Song got a good place."

Song Zhian had no choice but to speak modestly.

The atmosphere quieted down a bit.

However, the four of them never asked about Ouyang Rong's labor position, tacitly avoiding exposing the wound.

This included Sha Ergou, who looked around with a confused look on his face and didn't ask Brother Liu much. I don't know if he was really stupid or realized something, but his emotional intelligence was much higher than when he was in front of Lu Jinghong before.

In fact, someone was also waiting for Xi Qi's reply, but he didn't know what the job was, so he didn't say anything.

At this time, Senior Sister Yuan and Senior Sister Xi returned together and climbed onto the high platform. Behind them were a group of Yue girls, holding stacks of brand new snow-white Wu costumes in their hands.

The Vietnamese women began distributing clothes and swords.

Song Zhian and Miss Yu immediately stepped forward to receive them.

Ouyang Rong glanced at Xi Qi on the high platform and thought about it.

"Ergou, take it."

He handed the food box to Sha Ergou and walked to the platform, but did not go up immediately. He planned to wait for Xi Qi to finish distributing the Wu clothing and then ask about it. On the other side, Miss Yu had already brought back the Wu clothing belongings of Taotang Yuenu.

Song Zhian was still on the platform. She and the other two girls should all be from Qiutang and were a little special.

The girls around looked at him with envy.

Song Zhian was neither arrogant nor impatient. She lowered her eyes slightly and walked gracefully onto the stage to receive the gifts.

However, Ouyang Rong, who was standing and watching from the sidelines, keenly noticed that there was a young girl in the crowd with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes fixed on Song Zhian's elegant back, her very thin lips tightly pursed into a white line.

A look of dissatisfaction on his face.

This thin-lipped girl looked familiar. She seemed to be one of the trusted girls who followed closely behind Chen Jiaxin that day, and she was also from the Nine Surnames.

Ouyang Rong had some impression that her words that day were a bit sharp and pointed. Her thin lips showed that she was a jealous person who was not easy to mess with.

Chen Jiaxin is not here now. It seems that she has been taken by the Sixth Lady to see the Fifth Lady. The nine young ladies who originally surrounded her, after receiving the Taotang Wu clothing, are now standing beside this thin-lipped young lady, as if they are forming a group headed by her.

There were three or two girls who kept talking in the thin-lipped girl's ear, pointing at Song Zhian who was going up on the stage to receive the identity items of Qiutang Yue girl. The thin-lipped girl was also a person who could not hide her emotions, and her face became more and more indignant.

Moreover, the other two young ladies who went on stage with Song Zhian to receive the Qiutang token, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were very close to each other, but they stood a little far away from Song Zhian, as if they did not see her.

Although he didn't have a bad look like the thin-lipped girl, nor did he isolate himself intentionally, a certain distance between them was obvious.

Ouyang Rong also felt that these two outstanding young ladies who were selected into Qiutang together with Song Zhian looked familiar. It seemed that they were also one of the nine young ladies around Chen Jiaxin. They had followed her when she passed by to provoke him that day.

Ouyang Rong raised his eyelids and thought again of Yu Mili's muttering just now.

It seems that Song Zhian was selected, and in the eyes of the thin-lipped girl, she was taking up her position.

He looked twice more at Song Zhian's figure slowly walking off the stage.

She looked straight ahead and turned a deaf ear to them, and was not affected by these rumors at all.

His attitude towards things makes people look up to him.

Ouyang Rong began to understand the thin-lipped girl a little. It was difficult to keep her blood pressure down when she met such a calm, low-key, steady and cautious opponent, not to mention that she had a petty temper to begin with.

Ouyang Rong was waiting in the audience and watched for a while. Before the thin-lipped girl and others noticed his gaze and turned to look at him, he looked away.

Soon, most of the Yue women had received their Wu costumes.

There were fewer people on the platform.

Xi Qi seemed to have spoken a few words to Senior Sister Yuan, who then turned and left, not knowing where she was going.

Only Xi Qi, a silver medalist Yue girl, was left on the platform.

Ouyang Rong was about to go on stage, when at this moment, Senior Sister Yuan returned and supported Uncle Tang.

The latter seemed to come over and have something to say.

On the high platform, Xi Qi, who was about to go meet his uncle, also noticed Ouyang Rong out of the corner of his eye.

Xi Qi gave him a look that indicated she was waiting for a moment.

Ouyang Rong paused slightly.

Just then, a sudden noise came from the direction directly behind him.

Someone started arguing loudly.

"What are you doing, let go!"

"Oh, you guys have any sense of shame?"

Ouyang Rong heard the voice of Miss Yu and the sneer of the strange girl.

He turned around immediately.

They discovered that the place where the five of them had stood before was now surrounded by a crowd of spectators and it was quite lively.

The attention of Uncle Tang and Senior Sisters Xi and Yuan on the high platform was also drawn over.

Ouyang Rong walked over immediately and through the gap made by the crowd, he saw where he was originally standing. At this moment, there were two groups of people confronting each other.

On one side are the familiar four people: Song, Yu, Lu and Sha.

The other side was the thin-lipped girl and her group of female companions from nine different families.

"Let go, let go, I don't understand what you are saying."

Miss Yu stood at the front, her face flushed, and she spoke anxiously. The thin-lipped lady grabbed her wrist roughly, sneering as if she was waiting for everyone to gather around. Seeing more and more people gathered around, she seemed to be getting happier.

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and saw a porcelain bowl smashed to the ground between the two of them, with chicken soup splattering all over the floor.

The aroma of the delicious chicken soup filled the air, whetting one's appetite. However, at the moment, no one was paying attention to this; all eyes were focused on the two parties in the dispute.

However, Ouyang Rong, who was outside the crowd, noticed that the food box in Sha Ergou's arms was half opened.

He had given it to Sha Ergou for safekeeping just before he left.

Ouyang Rong saw that in the food box, half a Qingyan late peach was still there, and a can of chicken soup was also safe and sound, but it had been opened and some of the soup was missing... some of it had been stolen and drunk.

At this moment, Song Zhian and the other two had rushed forward to protect Miss Yu.

Compared to Lu Jinghong, who was unable to put down his pride and just glared at the thin-lipped girl, Sha Ergou had already put down the food box quickly and steadily. Without saying a word, he rushed forward, not caring about the difference between men and women, and was about to push the thin-lipped girl's chest roughly with both hands.

However, there are people who are faster than him.

Song Zhian suddenly pressed down on Sha Ergou's shoulders, first restraining the aggressive young man. However, as a native of Bashu, she was not a timid and docile person. She calmly jumped over the furious Sha Ergou, and grabbed the thin-lipped girl's wrist with her backhand. Her voice was as cold and hard as her palm, and she said:

"Please let go and be polite."

The thin-lipped girl suddenly became angry and was about to curse, but she held back. She lowered her eyes and stared at the chicken soup and broken porcelain that were scattered on the ground, with a sneer on her face, and she looked not at all panicked.

Just like that, the three girls grabbed each other's wrists and stood deadlocked, making the scene a bit chaotic.

"what happened?"

A hoarse and old voice suddenly came from the platform.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became dead silent.

Immediately, the crowd of onlookers spontaneously made way for the scene.

Uncle Tang walked over with Yuan and Xi.
