The two talked and laughed along the way. Although Lin Han was much younger than Xiao Shiyu, they were very comfortable chatting and did not be afraid because the other party was a master of swordsmanship.

Xiao Shiyu did not rely on his status to rely on his seniority. There were not many people who could chat with him like this. Most of them asked him for a request, and they also had a consent during the chat, which was displeasing.

Lin Han and Xiao Shiyu almost walked together with each other with their backs. When they walked into Jiange, the people standing at the door guards all opened their mouths, looking very shocked.

"I'll have someone arrange a room for you, you can go and rest."

Xiao Shiyu pointed to someone nearby and said, "Take him to the guest room and serve him well."

"yes!"

The guard dared not hesitate. He hadn't seen Grandmaster Xiao smile so happily for a long time, and he was secretly guessing who the masked boss was.

In this way, a month passed in the blink of an eye and disappeared quietly like flowing water. During this period, Lin Han lived a life of simplicity.

Except for Xiao Shiyu, only Hongxiu knew about the news that he lived in Jiange. However, in order not to attract attention, Hongxiu did not often come to see him, and usually only came once every few days.

Lin Han also calmed down and spent most of his time in the room. He practiced all day long, and prepared for the upcoming royal competition.

Lin Han, who lived in seclusion, completely disappeared from the imperial city. No matter how the people in the Red Mansion increased the reward, they had no effect at all, and they could not find the other party.

...Red Mansion.

"No news about that bastard yet?"

The eldest lady walked around the hall in anger, with an impatient expression on her face.

"Reporting to the Chief Madam, no, Lin Han seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of the entire imperial city."

Outside the hall, a guard said on his knees.

"I'm so angry!"

The eldest lady's face turned red, and she almost hated Lin Han to death, which made her son die young and white-haired.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a solution."

A trace of light suddenly flashed in Hongyutang's eyes, and he immediately spoke.

"Yutang, what's your solution?"

The eldest lady immediately showed an excited expression on her face.

"I heard that Lin Han will also participate in this royal competition. Although he is hiding such a good weather, he will definitely appear back in this competition!"

Hongyutang said firmly, with a very certain tone.

"You mean..." said the eldest lady hesitantly.

"We can bribe those who also participated in the royal competition. Although we don't know what the form is, we always have to fight. If one doesn't work, then two will be there. I don't believe that Lin Han will not die!"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Hongyutang's mouth.

"It's not good to do this. The competition was held by the royal family. If we intervene, it will be exposed..." The eldest lady was obviously quite afraid of the royal family and dared not offend her.

"It's okay, my brother is the number one general in Tianyun Country. Even if he discovers the emperor, he won't blame him too much, let alone we are also victims."

Hongyutang said with a smile.

The eldest lady pondered for a moment, but in the end she finally defeated her reason. She couldn't bear to see her son die in vain, and Lin Han had to pay the price.

"Then do what you said!"

The eldest lady gritted her teeth and said, "Since you want to do it, then do it more ruthlessly. Try to find those who are at the top of the youth list and auction, so that you can be more sure."

"No problem, this matter is for me."

Hong Yutang patted his chest, then got up and walked out of the hall. It seemed that he planned to contact the person now. After all, he didn't know where the competition started, so he had to prepare first.

...In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A gentle knock on the door came from Lin Han’s door. Lin Han slowly opened his eyes when he heard this movement and spit out a mouthful of turbid white air from his mouth.

Huh! Lin Han's expression was a little disappointed. After more than a month of hard practice, he originally planned to see if he could break through to the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, but it was obvious that he was thinking too much.

Now he has just reached the threshold. It will take some time to make a complete breakthrough. I hope it will be too late.

Lin Han thought to himself, then stood up and walked towards the door.

"Master Xiao?

Why are you here?

Please come in quickly.”

Lin Han opened the door and found that Xiao Shiyu, who had not seen for a long time, was standing at the door.

Since he moved into Jiange, Lin Han had seen Xiao Shiyu once. Most of the time, Xiao Shiyu was in the palace. He seemed quite busy and rarely had time to come back.

"The specific time of the royal competition has been confirmed and will officially start tomorrow afternoon."

Xiao Shiyu's first words surprised and delighted Lin Han.

"Really?"

Lin Han couldn't help but speak out in surprise, but he thought that his cultivation level had not yet broken through, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If he could completely break through to the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he would have greater confidence in the royal competition this time.

"Really, the Lord told me in person."

Xiao Shiyu sat at the table, paused and continued, "This competition is different from usual."

"oh?

Why is it different?”

Lin Han raised his eyebrows.

"Didn't you tell me before? The competition is located outside the imperial city. Everyone gathers at the gate of the imperial city tomorrow morning, and then the emperor personally leads a team to a remote island quite far from the imperial city."

Xiao Shiyu looked at Lin Han and said.

“Isle?

The contest is held on the island?

A melee?"

Lin Han said in confusion.

"The Lord will tell you about this specific situation tomorrow, so don't worry too much."

Xiao Shiyu said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry too much. There will be a lot of luck in this competition."

"How did you see that I was worried?"

Lin Han rolled his eyes at Xiao Shiyu and said, "I'm just a little curious."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you that geniuses who are at the top of the youth list of the royal family will appear. If you are not lucky, you may be eliminated in advance."

Xiao Shiyu said angrily.

"I'll be careful."

Lin Han also knew that Xiao Shiyu nodded honestly for his own good.

The two chatted in the room for a few more words, and then Xiao Shiyu got up and left. Lin Han looked at Xiao Shiyu's back as he left, and his expression was a little heavy.

Although he said it was easy, it was not that simple to fight. According to Xiao Shiyu, the top ten people in the youth list were all figures who entered the Lingtian Mirror, and they were even stronger than Tang Sentuomu of Tianji Academy.

"It's still not enough time."

Lin Han sighed inwardly. The practice time was too short, and the cultivation resources of these geniuses who grew up with the golden key in their childhood are not to worry about, and the gap is becoming more and more obvious.

If he is given enough time, it will be no problem to defeat these geniuses.
