Doupo: Who is Yandi? He should call me brother.

Chapter 94: Selection of Princess Yaoyue
Royal Palace
After being strictly searched, Xiao Ding and others entered the candidate hall.

Xiao Ding silently glanced at the others and had an idea in his mind.

There were more than twenty people coming this time. Except for him, all of them were Grand Fighters, and most of them were low-level Grand Fighters.

Come to think of it, which Dou Ling would be willing to be a guard?

The head of the Mo family is also a Dou Ling. In the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, it is one of the four major families due to its relationship with the Yun Lan Sect. It is much more glorious than being a guard.

On the secret stands, the sisters Yaoyue and Yaoye were observing the candidates.

Yao Ye pointed at one of them and said, "That person has the deepest cultivation. I'm afraid he is also quite powerful among the great fighting masters. I think he is not bad."

Yaoyue looked in the direction he was looking at and pouted, "He looks so fierce, I would have thought he was a human trafficker."

Yao Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How handsome do you want to find?"

Yaoyue's eyes rolled around, and she noticed Xiao Ding in the corner. She snorted, "I think that girl is good, and she has an elegant temperament. She is worthy of my status as a royal princess. At least I won't be embarrassed to take her out."

Yao Ye took a look and was stunned for a moment, not because of Xiao Ding's handsomeness, but because of his age.

"This person looks about the same as me, but he's already a great fighting master?"

Yao Ye thought to himself that everyone here had been checked, and only great fighting masters were eligible to be selected, so Xiao Ding's cultivation must be guaranteed.

Looking at Xiao Ding's youthful appearance, Yao Ye had already made up her mind. Even if Xiao Ding failed to be selected, she would get him into her team and train him well. Maybe he would become a powerful Dou Ling in the future.

Standing in the center of the hall, a middle-aged man in black armor saw that the time was almost up, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the competition begins, come forward and grab your number."

There is a mahogany box on the ground, with 24 numbers prepared in it. Two with similar numbers will duel, and finally six winners will be chosen to become Yaoyue's guards.

Xiao Ding walked to the end of the team at a leisurely pace, which also made it easier for him to observe other people participating in the competition.

"Hey, kid, which powerful force are you from? Why are you trying to snatch a guard from us?"

A man with shifty eyes said with some dissatisfaction that most of these people came here because they had no one to rely on and wanted to find support from the palace, or to go further.

But Xiao Ding looks so young, there must be some powerful force behind him. Why would such a genius compete with them for a guard?

Xiao Ding smiled faintly, "Xiao just had some adventures, I can't be called a genius."

Seeing his punch hit the cotton, the man with shifty eyes turned his head away.

The surname Xiao, it seems that there is indeed no powerful family with this surname among the big families in the imperial capital.

Soon, it was Xiao Ding's turn to draw lots. He randomly grabbed one from the mahogany box and returned to the corner.

"9"

Xiao Ding calmly put away the note and began to pay attention to the battle on the field.

There are two people on the field now, one is a three-star master and the other is a four-star master. They are evenly matched in a fight.

Most of the people who came here had no power, and the fighting skills they used were at most low-level Xuan-level. In Xiao Ding's opinion, there was really no challenge. After all, he had already completely crushed them in terms of martial arts, fighting skills and cultivation.

"In this situation, if I fight more people at once, will I get more attention? Never mind. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. It's not good to offend these great fighters."

Xiao Ding denied the idea that appeared in his mind. He was really influenced by his second brother. He heard him say last time that he asked everyone to take part in a hunting competition when he just entered the inner courtyard.

"Next group, number nine, number ten."

Glancing at the elegant Xiao Ding coming on stage, Yaoyue tugged at the corner of Yaoye's clothes with some excitement.

Yao Ye slapped Yao Yue's hand in annoyance and said, "Can you be more reserved?" No wonder Yao Yue looked like she had never seen the world. After she discovered her talent for alchemy as a child, she had been taught by a group of old men.

When she grew up and started to come into contact with more people, they were the eunuchs in the palace. They had feminine faces and Yaoyue felt that they looked more like women than her sister Yaoye.

She finally saw some guards, but they were all rough guys, each uglier than the other. She had clearly seen in the maids' novels that the handsome guys all had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and were very elegant.

No matter what the little princess thought, Xiao Ding was already standing on the stage.

"please!"

A long sword was unsheathed, Xiao Ding showed no fear. He was just a two-star great fighting master, and he was already familiar with his current strength on the road, so he could defeat him with just one sword.

"Yellow-level high-level fighting skills, Ma Sishao San!"

Seeing his palm coming, Xiao Ding held a sword across his chest. The strong wind blew the hair around his ears, and then the sword spun and swept the opponent away.

Xiao Ding's figure flashed and appeared in front of the retreating person. He pushed out of the ring with a palm.

"Concession."

Xiao Ding bowed, then calmly walked down the stage. Although his opponent was somewhat unwilling, Xiao Ding had already shown mercy, so he couldn't just find fault with him, and had to leave the palace in frustration.

The middle-aged man in black armor looked at Xiao Ding with some surprise.

"A powerful Douling master... How could such a master be a guard?"

The middle-aged man was puzzled, but did not say anything. He thought that this person might be an undercover agent from the enemy country, and it would be bad to alert the enemy.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man seemed to be looking casually, but he was always paying attention to Xiao Ding. At the same time, he stood in front of the observation point of the two princesses to prevent any accidents.

After the twelve matches, the second round began. This time, Xiao Ding faced No. 12. If he won, he would be successfully selected.

"Numbers 9 and 12 are entering."

Xiao Ding came on the stage calmly, but No. 12's back was already soaked with cold sweat. Xiao Ding, who defeated the two-star great fighting master with one move, was undoubtedly the strongest in this selection.

"I surrender."

No. 12 said with a dry throat that he was only a four-star fighting master. Instead of getting beaten up, he might as well admit defeat now.

"Hey, sister, look, he really got selected!"

Yaoyue leaned her hands on the railing and said excitedly.

Yao Ye's expression was somewhat solemn. The middle-aged man had just conveyed his judgment to her, so she had to be careful next time.

……

"The selection is over. Please wait a moment and fill in some basic personal information. I will give you a reply in a week."

Holding the list of collected information, the middle-aged man's eyes became less vigilant.

"Xiao Ding, the eldest son of the Lord of Wutan City, is he here to gild his reputation in the palace? Or to expand the influence of his family?"

The middle-aged man stroked his chin, unsure about the accuracy of the news. He needed to investigate.

During this week, Xiao Ding and the other six will stay in a side hall and are not allowed to go anywhere while waiting for the results.
