Chapter 621: New Members Conference
Chapter 621: New Members Conference
Nian Susu adhered to the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, and gave Qin Junyu a fake smile, "I can just sit next to you."
Then she rolled swiftly to the chair at the edge and sat down, sitting upright with her back straighter than a pillar, hoping that everyone would let her go because she was weak and helpless.
Qin Junyu's eyes flashed, and a chill emanated from his whole body, making the people present dare not breathe even though he was wearing a mask.
The ministers did not dare to say anything. There were rumors that this little apprentice was the younger sister of the manor owner's wife, which was why the manor owner cared so much about her.
They all knew the Madam's status, so who would dare to offend her sister?
Qin Junyu looked at Nian Susu and said calmly, "Come here."
Nian Susu’s back stiffened.
Qingyu couldn't bear it any longer, so she ran to her side and whispered, "Queen, please sit next to the Emperor. If anything goes wrong, the Emperor will be able to protect you immediately."
With just one sentence, Nian Susu was so scared that he ran back to Qin Junyu.
My life is at stake!
Upon seeing this, the twelve ministers took their seats one after another.
The new member recruitment conference officially begins.
One thousand people were divided into groups for competition. Five hundred people advanced to the first round, two hundred and fifty to the second round, and the 125 winners of the third round could stay in Tianxuan Villa. The competition was fierce.
The first round took two hours. Those who were eliminated were blindfolded and taken down the mountain, and the remaining people had fifteen minutes to rest.
Twelve ministers went to the Qingxuan Palace for a meeting, but Qin Junyu did not participate. The reason was - he didn't want to.
Nian Susu stood up and stretched her muscles. She was too embarrassed to move while sitting with the twelve people with stern faces. She sat there for two hours and her back and waist ached. It was more uncomfortable than climbing a mountain.
She ran to the edge of the platform and leaned over the railing to look down.
The contestants were all sitting in the shade on both sides to rest, and some of them looked up at her curiously. Although Tianxuan Villa did not have a rule of "not recruiting female disciples", and there were women among the directors, her dress was not that of a person from the villa, and she was able to sit in the spectator seats, so it was conceivable that her identity was not ordinary.
Nian Susu was stared at so hard that his scalp numbed, and he didn't notice the danger approaching at all.
Directly in front of the Qingxuan Hall is the wide and open Longwei Road, which has a relatively flat gap between the two steps. There are narrow and steep slow paths on both sides of the platform. Generally, the host and guests walk on the Longwei Road, while servants who want to go to the platform take the slow paths on both sides.
The slow road is on the right side of Nian Su Su.
She supported her chin with a wandering look in her eyes. Suddenly, with a "whoosh", an arrow cut through the sky and headed straight for her forehead.
The arrow was flying too fast, and she was so frightened that she had no time to react, and saw the tip of the arrow was about to pierce her head.
At the critical moment, her arm was pulled to the side with force, and she spun around and fell into a strong embrace.
Qin Junyu put his arm around her shoulders and squatted down. The next second, arrows rained down from above their heads. The doors and windows of the Qingxuan Palace became targets, and soon hundreds of arrows were pierced into them.
Nian Susu was so frightened that she dared not breathe. If she had been a second slower, she would have been shot into a sieve.
The twelve ministers and Qingyu waved their swords to block the arrows and rushed out of the Qingxuan Palace.
There was chaos down there, the Shanhai tribe members were fighting with the assassin. Some contestants wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain merit, so they also joined in the action of capturing the assassin.
Six ministers rushed down the Dragon's Tail Road, and the remaining six went along the slow lane to prevent anyone from sneaking onto the platform.
The sounds of weapons clashing could be heard all around. Qin Junyu raised his voice and called over Qingyu who was about to run away.
"Master!" Qingyu had a determined look on his face and was ready to sacrifice himself.
Qin Junyu frowned and said, "Escort Lingling to a safe place. If anything happens to her, you won't have to live either."
Qingyu really wanted to kill the enemy, but since it was a task assigned by his master, he had to obey. He protected Nian Susu behind him and left via the slow path.
Before going down the stairs, Nian Susu looked back and saw Qin Junyu taking out a sword from the back of the armchair. When the sword was unsheathed, blood was bound to be drawn.
"Be safe!" she shouted.
The situation was critical and she didn't dare to waste time. Without waiting for his answer, she hurriedly followed Qingyu down the stairs.
-
Nian Susu was restless and paced back and forth in the bedroom. She wanted to go out to find out some information, but was afraid of causing trouble. Besides, Qingyu was guarding outside the door and probably wouldn't let her take the risk.
But after waiting for an hour and seeing Qin Junyu still not coming back, she became a little worried.
Just as he was about to order Qingyu to go to Qingxuan Palace to check the situation, there was a knock on the door.
Nian Susu's heart tightened, he felt both nervous and excited.
"Come in." Her voice trembled.
The door was pushed open with a creak.
Qin Junyu came back, wearing a moon-white robe, which was not what he usually wore.
"You're finally back." Nian Susu ran forward, holding back tears, and while checking if he had any injuries, she asked, "How are you? Are you okay? Was the assassin caught?"
Seeing that she was frightened and her face turned pale, Qin Junyu felt distressed and guilty. He held her hands and held her in his arms, "I'm sorry, I made you worry for so long. It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought you out, this wouldn't have happened."
After saying that, he added, "I'm fine, don't worry. The assassin has been caught. After handcuffing and questioning, it has been confirmed that they are the remnants of the Spiritual Questioning Society. Last time, they failed to launch a sneak attack at the martial arts competition and were instead raided by me. They held a grudge against me and took advantage of today's recruitment to sneak in."
"It's been taken care of, don't worry about it." He patted her on the back.
After hearing this, Nian Susu was not relieved, but his face became even more serious.
Even if one Wen Ling Society is eliminated, there are still thousands and millions of Wen Ling Society who want to take his life. He is in the martial arts world, and Tianxuan Villa is known as the "number one in the martial arts world". There are countless people who are jealous of him and hate him. He can be on guard against it once or twice, but there is no guarantee that he will not be careless sometimes.
The enemy can have many chances to fail, but he only has one life.
They have been through so much and overcome numerous difficulties to get to where they are today. Nian Susu is really afraid that one day he will leave her.
After a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice: "Qin Junyu, let's go back, okay?"
Going back and never coming back.
Once the mask is removed, his enemies will not be able to find the "secret" and his life will not be in danger.
Although this idea was naive, after this incident, Nian Susu was traumatized and really didn't want to stay in Tianxuan Villa anymore.
Qin Junyu responded to her gently: "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow."
"No! Go now." Nian Susu pushed him away, tears in her eyes and an anxious look on her face.
Qin Junyu showed a hint of doubt. He had never seen such a panicked and frightened expression on her face.
He smiled and said, "Lingling, you're scared. Let's rest here for a while this year. We'll go back at dawn tomorrow."
Nian Susu wanted to say something, but he interrupted her by calling Qingyu in.
"Qingyu, go prepare some light food, and ask the medical department to make some soothing medicine and send it over."
