Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 1402: The Dagger is Revealed, Pointing to Canghui

Asking for recommendation votes
……

The meeting room suddenly fell into a brief silence, with only the occasional crackling of candle flames as the only sound.

Lin Chiluan recalled and said with a sweet smile: "How wonderful! While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind! Yue Si has become our wedding dress."

Wushan College was originally just a mid-level team, and Qinglin College's fifth place ranking in the previous session was not stable.

However, the cake is so small, and there are only five qualifying spots, which cannot be changed.

If the two families want to grab two places outside the three major academies at the same time, the success rate must reach 100%. If they are not careful, all their efforts will be wasted.

In this way, they can only try to squeeze out one of the three major institutions. As for who to squeeze out, the answer is self-evident.

Whether in terms of friendship or difficulty, Canghui Academy is the first choice. It is the mantis stalking the cicada.

Now, the four teams of Chang'an, Wushan, Qinglin and Yuesi have all suffered a defeat and are tied for the top spot.

Canghui Academy has already lost twice, and the last match will be against Chang'an.

Yuesi Academy has not yet fought with Qinglin. With their current weakened formation, they are likely to be in great danger.

Therefore, under the spider web carefully woven by the three teams, the battle between Yuesi College and Canghui College tomorrow will definitely be a life-and-death fight.

Regardless of the outcome, it is good for them.

If Canghui College loses three times, Chang'an, Wushan and Qinglin teams will be able to sit firmly in the top three; if Yuesi College loses... then the storm will come!

According to convention and current circumstances, if there are only two losses, it is basically possible to advance into the top five, and three losses are barely enough.

Originally, Chen Xiaojun only needed to lead the Wushan team to qualify.

However, things are unpredictable. Not long ago, the Yang family was incorporated into the Chen family, and with the addition of his own Chang'an team, they became three teams.

Originally, this matter should have been planned and coordinated by Chen Yu, and Chen Wu should be responsible for the specific implementation.

However, things did not go as planned. Chen Yu was seriously injured and bedridden; Chen Wu was entangled in the construction affairs of the Special Soul Master Academy and the Tactical Vocational Academy, and was very busy.

In this way, this big chess game finally fell on the shoulders of the young master Chen Xiaojun.

As for the process and results of Changan's competition with Qinglin and Yue Si, it was truly an accident.

Chen Xiaojun originally planned to finish the first ten rounds of the game and make plans after the situation became clear. After all, the schedule of the Chang'an team in the first ten rounds was complicated and troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yanlang had other plans in mind and attacked too hard during the game.

After the game, Yang Yanlang came to apologize, and Chen Xiaojun then communicated with him in depth and explained the situation.

As for the details of the battle with Yue Si's team, I will not go into details here.

There is another reason for targeting Canghui.

This coincides with the Chen family's strategic layout in the Fasno area - the order of advancement of "first south, then north, and gradually the central part".

The reason for this arrangement is simple and clear: the central region is the core of Governor Fasno's power, and his control is extremely strong.

Chen Xiaojun stood up and walked to the window. In the distance, the flag of Chang'an College was fluttering in the twilight.

This trip of Fasno is not only for the competition among colleges, but also for promoting the strategic layout of the family.

In line with his plan to move north, Chang'an College not only kept up with the pace in terms of enrollment and gradually expanded its influence northward, but the various forces under the Chen family also gradually advanced and gathered northward, and began to deeply integrate with the local Yang family.

Xia Yun's arrival is a strong proof of this deep integration. He came here not only to support his granddaughter. Among the nine elders of Zhaowu, Zhu Yanfeng, Cheng Nanxing and Xia Yun are the most outstanding.

In the battle to exterminate wolves that year, it was the three of them who faced the ancient king-level silver wolves alone.

Although the Chen family's appointment of Xia Yun is not as core as Zhu Yanfeng in internal family affairs, nor as prominent as Cheng Nanxing in external affairs, he is a talented general who can stand on his own and lead a region.

This can be seen from the decision made by the Chen family a few years ago to let Xia Yun garrison the Tenghai Secret Realm.

Seeing that Chen Xiaojun did not respond to her proposal, Xia Shuyao was not discouraged and continued, "Master, please send someone to investigate the situation of the teams in other provinces. We don't have the manpower and energy to collect information."

As she spoke, she winked at Chen Xiaojun with an expression that said "you know what I mean".

Chen Xiaojun's fingertips holding the fan paused slightly. He glanced at the other party's deliberately softened tone and sneered. The white jade fan bone glowed coldly under the candlelight.

This is questioning his ability, don't bother to pay attention to her.

He fanned himself and gave Xia Shuyao a blank look, saying unhappily, "Don't worry about it. I have my own arrangements."

As he spoke, he waved the fan in his hand, as if to blow away Xia Shuyao's teasing.

Xia Shuyao suddenly changed the subject, looked at Yang Yanlang, blinked and said, "By the way, Brother Yang, our two colleges will be meeting in a few days, so please show some mercy then."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yanlang revealed a gentle smile on his stern face.

Xia Shuyao then turned to Xiaoyi, and said sweetly, "Today, Fei Ang and I fought too hard and both of us were injured. Madam, could you please help me check my injuries?"

Chen Xiaojun secretly praised in his heart that this sister had good foresight. She left out Zhu Jia and Mu Zizhu next to her and chose to let Xiaoyi take action. She was very thoughtful.

……

A clear knock on the door broke the stagnant air in the room.

Chen Xiaojun stroked the celadon teacup with his fingertips, looked at the swaying figure on the door, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Xia Shuyao had finished the treatment and stood up gracefully. The hem of her silver-green skirt swept across the rosewood table, bringing with it a faint cold fragrance.

The wooden door creaked open, and three tall figures walked into the room, wrapped in the chill of the night dew.

Luo Chaozi, who was leading the way, was wearing a dark blue outfit. The pearls adorned with a silver hairpin in her hair swayed slightly with her movements, making the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows even brighter.

The two people following behind her were both wearing dark tights. One of the girls had a jade belt around her slender waist, revealing the unique elegance of a water-type spirit master.

The other man was as big as a frog, with bluish-gray skin and ordinary facial features.

The people who came were Luo Chaozi, the leader and coach of the Chaosheng team, as well as the captain Ruan Chaoyin and team member Tian Xuyao.

There are many kinds of martial spirits in Chenlin Village, including some water-based ones. In addition to the black-backed dogfish, the fifth-grade jade tide snail and the war roar frog are also among them.

As representatives of water-based martial spirits, most of them are led by the Luo family, forming a force that cannot be ignored.

"Young Master." The three of them bowed in unison. Luo Chaozi's voice was as clear and cold as the sound of a mountain spring, Ruan Chaoyin's soft Wu dialect was like spring breeze melting snow, and Tian Xuyao's voice was uniquely clear and piercing.

Xia Shuyao walked over with a smile and took Ruan Chaoyin's arm affectionately: "Aunt Zi, Chaoyin, Xuyao, you are finally here."

Ruan Chaoyin smiled and said, "There were some injuries in the team that needed to be treated just now, so I'm late."

Yang Yanlang also stood up to greet Zhu Xuanming and Lin Chiluan.

Chen Xiaojun put down the teacup and his eyes lingered on Tian Xuyao's bandaged right wrist for a moment: "Sister Chaoyin, Brother Xuyao, your injuries..."
