The Shendujian carriage carrying Ding Ning and Shen Yi slowly drove back to the sycamore tree.

There were already people waiting for him in the alley with lights and colors.

Ding Ning saw Nangong Caishu, Xie Changsheng and Xu Heshan sitting respectfully beside Xue Wangxu, saying this to Xue Wangxu.

Seeing Ding Ning get off the car at first sight, Xie Changsheng immediately stood up first and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, are you back?"

Seeing Chen Yi getting off the car with Ding Ning again, Xie Changsheng was stunned, "Why are you here too?"

Chen Yi looked at Xie Changsheng with a bitter look on his face.

"Don't call me that name anymore, you know I don't like it." Ding Ning glanced at Xie Changsheng calmly and said, "Chen Yi is the latest disciple of Aries Cave, and now he is my junior brother."

Now Xie Changsheng had a bitter face and said, "How can this be done? He has ill intentions towards my sister."

Ding Ning frowned and said, "Then I can just make it happen."

Chen Yi's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Ding Ning with great surprise: "Senior Brother Ding Ning, really?"

Xie Changsheng said angrily: "How happy are you? You don't know my sister's temper."

Chen Yi was stunned, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he felt a little chest tightness.

"You know that you are just making a fool of yourself, and you are so naive in front of Master Xue Cave."

Nangong Caishu scolded Xie Changsheng, then looked at the carriage of the Shendujian who left, and asked Ding Ning: "How could such a big thing happen? Even when he comes back, he is the carriage of the Shendujian?"

Hearing Nangong Caishu's words, Ding Ning knew that Xue Wangxu must have told them what happened in the fish market, so he nodded and said, "That's Mo Qing Palace's care for me. The Goddu Supervisor carriage sent me back, even if he told others that the Goddu Supervisor had intervened, and it would be better to restrain the people who wanted to deal with me. As for the assassination of me, the Goddu Supervisor was also investigating it, and it was probably not that simple."

"It may be a dispute between the temples, which brings you in. You should try to be as careful as possible next." Xu Heshan lowered his voice and said solemnly.

He and Nangong Caishu both came from famous families, and their vision was naturally more profound than that of ordinary people.

Feeling his kindness, Ding Ning nodded.

"But you are really not simple. Two practitioners in the fifth level and a fourth level... they would have been killed if they were replaced by someone else." Xie Changsheng has been a little admiring Ding Ning since the trial of the sword sacrifice. At this moment, he looked at Ding Ning even more admiring. "If this news spreads, your position in the Sword Society Talent List is not only seventy-two, but you will definitely rise a lot again."

"Why are you all coming here today?" Ding Ning frowned slightly and said, "What is the Sword Club Talent List?"

"Of course we have to visit friends during the New Year. Even if we are not my brother-in-law now, don't say it so inhumane."

Xie Changsheng took out a thin booklet and handed it to Ding Ning, saying, "In another month or two, the handwritten copies of this thing may be everywhere and are worthless. However, this is the first batch, but it took me a lot of effort."

Nangong Caishu smiled slightly and explained softly: "This Sword Club Talent List is an evaluation made by Hongyang Academy that is qualified to participate in the Minshan Sword Club, as well as all young talents who have the opportunity to be recommended."

"Then this is equivalent to a list of strength rankings. There is such a thing?" Chen Yi was shocked and asked in disbelief: "Then Xie Changsheng said 72 earlier. Could it be that Hongyang Academy only ranked Ding Ning in this list? Is this accurate?"

Nangong Caishu explained: "Hongyang Academy is not a place of practice, it is an affiliated college of the Jinghu Department. Some statistics, especially the registration and editing of the Great Qin practitioners, are all completed by them. Even some practitioners who are not in the place of practice, will try to investigate and count the latest situation and record the information. Now the scope is narrowed to young talents who may participate in the Minshan Sword Society. The book they edited should be the most authoritative. Of course, this is just an evaluation of comprehensive cultivation and sword skills they practice, and does not consider the issue of fighting performance and mutual restraint."

Chen Yi's face turned pale.

At this time, he already thought that he was far inferior to Ding Ning, even if this was just a basic comprehensive assessment... There were so many strong people in Changling?

At this time, Zhang Yi just cooked hot tea and heard Nangong Caishu answer Chen Yi's words. When he saw Chen Yi's pale face, he couldn't help but comfort him: "My junior brother, Changling is very big, especially with a large number of people, many times more than Guanzhong."

Chen Yi didn't say anything. He just thought that even Ding Ning was ranked 72nd at this moment. Who is the most outstanding young talent who is ranked first by those from Hongyang Academy?

Zhang Yi was also very curious. He poured Xue Wangxu a cup of hot tea for warming his hands, then looked at the thin booklet in Ding Ning's hand and asked: "Who is the first? Is Dugu Bai from Dugu Hou Mansion?"

Dugu Liangsheng, the son Dugu Bai, who was born in Dugu Marquis's Mansion, used the essence of heaven and earth and the fighting spirit as medicine, and cultivated by the way of heaven, Dugu Bai, was indeed very famous in Changling.

Almost all the places of practice in Changling had heard that he had returned from Mobei before the New Year and was preparing to participate in this Minshan Sword Meeting.

"I thought it was Dugu Bai, but when I opened it, I found that it was not." Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Xie Changsheng blinked and said proudly.

"Who is that?"

Even Xue Wangxu was slightly stunned and looked at the thin booklet in Ding Ning's hand.

Even in his opinion, the child in Dugu Hou Mansion who must have entered the fourth realm should be ranked first.

Ding Ning sat down next to Xue Wangxu, and opened the first page with a serious expression.

Since he has decided to win the prize at the Minshan Sword Meeting and give Xue Wangxu the greatest glory, everyone in this booklet is his opponent.

He has also heard of many things about Dugu Bai. Even if he shows all his hidden strength, Dugu Bai should be a very threatening opponent for his current cultivation level.

Now Dugu Bai is not the best, which means that this Minshan Sword Meeting is not unchanged for him, and it is not something he can get when he thinks about it.

"First: Lie Yinghong"

Just as he saw this name clearly, Ding Ning was slightly stunned. This was definitely a very rare surname.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had never heard of this name.

He couldn't help but look quickly.

"Estimated cultivation level: Medium-level level of four realms"

“Practice Place: Overseas Islands”

This thin talent book actually does not reveal much information. It only records these three items about a practitioner.

Overseas islands refer to some affiliated island countries that produced elixirs that the Qin Dynasty often traded with.

These island countries have poor products. After hundreds of years of trade, their lifeline has been firmly controlled by the Qin Dynasty. Although there are also practitioners, very few practitioners will come to Changling.

I'm afraid it's the first time I've participated in the Minshan Sword Club, and I've actually been highly valued by Hongyang Academy and ranked first.

Ding Ning frowned slightly, looked up at Xie Changsheng, Nangong Caishu and others and asked, "Who recommended this person?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi came back to his senses from his shock.

He suddenly felt that Ding Ning's question grasped the crux of the crux. Such practitioners from overseas vassal states in Daqin would probably have a great backer behind him if they could participate in the Minshan Sword Club.

Hearing Ding Ning's question, Xie Changsheng was a little proud again and said softly: "I have inquired, but I can't be sure, but it is very likely that he is from Jiaodong County."

Ding Ning's face suddenly became slightly dark.

Zhang Yi's face also changed, "The Queen's family is from?"

Jiaodong County is a coastal county of the Great Qin Dynasty. Anyone in the Great Qin Dynasty knows that although the Queen Zheng Xiu is from Zheng, the reason why she finally became the queen is because of her cultivation, beauty and wisdom. The other most critical reason is that her mother's Zheng family has amazing power in Jiaodong County.

In fact, before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, although the entire Jiaodong County area was nominally the territory of the Qin Dynasty, it was actually almost equivalent to an independent dynasty under the Zheng family.

Before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, the Zheng family even had some shameful alliances with the Great Qi Dynasty.

The reason why Emperor Yuanwu was able to ascend the throne was largely due to the support of the Zheng family.

The earliest iron-clad fleets of the Great Qin Dynasty belonged to the Zheng family.

At that time, the Zheng family had the ability to dominate the sea.

"Hongyang Academy is all old scholars who believe in the truth. They should not give the queen a special face." Xie Changsheng looked at Ding Ning and said seriously: "So this Lie Yinghong should be really capable and may have amazing results overseas. You must be careful."

Ding Ning nodded and turned to the second page.

The second page still appears not Dugu Bai's name.

"The second place is Ye Haoran. It is expected to have a level of cultivation: the fourth level. The place of cultivation: Lilingjun Mansion."

The origin of this young talent is obvious at a glance.

Thinking of the Xuepu Sword encountered in the sword sacrifice trial, Ding Ning's eyes were slightly cold and his tone was slightly sarcastic: "Lilingjun is indeed very small and there are people who can make moves at any time. But now the powerful and powerful in Changling are broad-minded, and they will actually let everyone in Lilingjun's mansion participate in the Minshan Sword Meeting."

Nangong Caishu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Mr. Liling may still return to the Great Chu Dynasty to take over the throne... So it may be that some powerful people in Changling have some exchange conditions with him. This should be just a small part of the transaction between big people."

Zhang Yi frowned slightly.

The pros and cons of the real big figures in the temple are too complicated and it is impossible for people who have not reached the high level to understand, so he has no interest in those, just want to know whether the next third one is Dugu Bai.
