Chapter 40: The Team Wins and the Tiger Wants to Eat Its Own Cubs

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Pingan saw Princess Bailing sitting at a stone table under a treasure tree in the front yard, drinking tea. On the stone table was a set of tea sets emitting a glittering precious light and a pot of fragrant tea that had just been brewed. About half a meter behind Princess Bailing stood a middle-aged female servant with a deep aura.

Jiang Pingan couldn't help but take a closer look at the treasure tree.

The treasure tree was crystal green, with colorful precious light, and wisps of visible mist energy hanging from the branches and leaves, keeping the tree under a high concentration of energy.

This is a seven-color energy treasure tree. It usually absorbs a large amount of energy from heaven and earth and stores it. When there are creatures under it, it will exhale energy, keeping the tree under a high concentration of energy.

Jiang Pingan has read the relevant introduction in a book "Exotic Flowers and Treasure Trees". The seven-color energy treasure tree is rare and precious, and it is extremely rare.

Unexpectedly, there is a tree planted in Princess Bailing's residence. It should have been transplanted after Princess Bailing moved in.

Princess Bailing sipped the fragrant tea, revealing a noble and elegant temperament. The beautiful girl's pretty face was more demure, and combined with the colorful treasure tree above, it was quite picturesque.

She did not stand up to greet Jiang Pingan, but just smiled at him.

"Fairy tales are all lies. Princesses can't be approachable."

Jiang Pingan couldn't help singing a line of lyrics in his heart and walked towards Princess Bailing.

"Your Highness." Jiang Pingan bowed.

Princess Bailing put down the teacup and asked, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

"Just now Zhang Jingtian and Lu Zhaisheng came to me. They hope to compete for the top two in the team. I don't want to give up the top two." Jiang Pingan said calmly, "I'm worried that there will be problems in the afternoon competition, so I came to you to inform you in advance."

Princess Bailing pondered for a moment and said, "It's understandable that you all want to compete for the top two in the team, but it's easy to fall into a situation of fighting each other. What countermeasures do you have?"

"That depends on the arrangement of Your Highness the Princess." Jiang Pingan said, kicking the ball back.

He has not yet revealed his overwhelming strength, and there is a "mortal body" label on his forehead. Princess Bailing may not trust him as much as Zhang Jingtian and Lu Zhaisheng.

Princess Bailing smiled playfully, and then said: "I already know the situation, thank you for telling me."

Seeing that Princess Bailing had no intention of joining forces with him privately, Jiang Ping'an was not disappointed. As long as Princess Bailing was not caught off guard and defeated by the sudden situation in the arena, he would not have to expose more strength because he could not support himself.

"Goodbye." He bowed his hands very simply and turned to leave Princess Bailing's residence.

As Jiang Ping'an left and the courtyard door closed, Princess Bailing immediately changed her noble and elegant sitting posture and became casual.

The middle-aged maid behind her said, "Princess, you handled it well just now."

"But, aren't you too arrogant?" Princess Bailing pouted her lips slightly, a trace of regret appeared on her face, "Someone came to visit, but you didn't even let him sit down."

The middle-aged maid smiled and said, "If you don't do this, he will mistakenly think that you look at him differently and have unrealistic desires. You are doing this for his own good. He is your neighbor, and you can't get close to him easily."

"Being a princess is annoying. It's hard to even make friends. I don't know who is sincere and who is false." Princess Bailing said distressedly.

The middle-aged maid just smiled and didn't respond.

After a while, Princess Bailing asked, "Ms. Qin, how much of what Jiang Ping'an said just now is true?"

(Ms. Qin is a female official position in the palace.)

"It should be true." Ms. Qin said, "The young man probably guessed that you don't trust him very much, so he didn't directly suggest that you and him join forces privately."

Princess Bailing nodded slightly and asked, "How strong is he?"

"I see that his true energy is weak, and it doesn't seem to be hidden. He is a mortal body, not a rumor." Ms. Qin replied, "He can cultivate to the Yuanhai realm at a young age, so he must have amazing comprehension."

As a female official who protects the most beloved princess of Emperor Qian, she has long mastered the information of Princess Bailing's neighbors, including Jiang Ping'an, and knows that Jiang Ping'an's comprehension is amazing, which is suspected to be rare in a hundred years.

In the afternoon, the third round of competition was about to begin in the large martial arts square in the central area.

By the third round of competition, there were only 75 teams left, all of which were relatively strong, and after two rounds of competition, they basically mastered the team battle method.

It is still necessary to draw lots.

Princess Bailing drew the first match on the No. 3 stage. Before she knew who her opponent was, she was asked to step onto the stage.

Team 135 still arranged the formation from the first two rounds. The enemy team obviously knew about Team 135 and made corresponding adjustments to the formation.

Team 135 had Princess Bailing, and became the team that everyone was paying attention to, making it easier to be targeted.

As the referee announced the start of the competition, the enemy team No. 99 formed a five-element magic formation and steadily approached Princess Bailing.

Princess Bailing quickly cast a spell, but was blocked by the protective shield generated by the five-element magic formation and failed to break up the enemy's formation.

Princess Bailing's face became solemn.

At this time, in order to grab the contribution points, Zhang Jingtian and Lu Zhaisheng no longer stayed by Princess Bailing's side, and took the initiative to attack, even contacting the enemy before the front peak.

The situation of fighting each other happened as expected.

Jiang Ping'an did not rush to attack the enemy with Zhang Jingtian and Lu Zhaisheng, but continued to maintain guerrilla warfare.

Team No. 99 had the Five Elements Formation, which cooperated with each other and was also sufficiently vigilant against him. Jiang Ping'an didn't gain any advantage in a short time with his Fenhua Fuliu body technique and Xunxing sword technique.

Perhaps it was too easy to win the previous two rounds. Zhang Jingtian and Lu Zhaisheng attacked a few times, and seeing that there was no effect, they couldn't help but use their big moves.

They did learn a few top-grade martial arts, but they were just entry-level ones. As they rushed to use their big moves, they were full of flaws and were defeated by the enemy before they could really use them.

As Zhang Jingtian and Lu Zhaisheng were taken out by the off-field instructor, Hong Feng was also quickly defeated.

Only Princess Bailing and Jiang Ping'an were left, two against five, a complete disadvantage.

Princess Bailing glanced at Jiang Ping'an, and didn't see that Jiang Ping'an had any intention of coming to protect her.

"I didn't expect to be forced to reveal my trump card so soon." She was a little helpless.

At that moment, she shouted in a tender voice: "Ten thousand birds pay homage to the phoenix!"

The next moment, the surrounding heaven and earth's vitality surged, the sky and earth changed color, and a strange scene appeared behind Princess Bailing.

A colorful and golden phoenix appeared from the void, and a high-pitched phoenix cry almost dissipated the true essence of the people around it. The phoenix flew high, and countless phantoms of spirit birds flew over from all directions.

The audience was stunned and shocked by such a strange scene.

"So this is the Yuanhai phenomenon." Jiang Ping'an looked at the strange scene behind Princess Bailing, and said in awe, "Princess Bailing's true essence soared a lot at once, and the phoenix cry almost dissipated the true essence of the people around her. The 99th team she was facing was probably even worse. The Yuanhai phenomenon is really powerful!"

At this time, Princess Bailing condensed the spell and completed the condensation almost instantly. A terrifying fireball with a diameter of more than three feet (ten meters) was generated and smashed towards the 99th team.

"Give up! We give up..." Someone in Team 99 came to his senses and screamed in fear.

At this time, the instructor outside the field took action and led the huge fireball into the sky.

After surviving the disaster, Team 99 was full of lingering fear, their bodies were soaked with cold sweat, and their legs were weak.

The referee announced: "Team 135 wins!"

Jiang Pingan put his sword back into the sheath, walked to Princess Bailing, and said with a smile on his face: "The phenomenon of thousands of birds paying homage to the phoenix is ​​so powerful that everyone is scared. The next round of competition will be won directly."

"Why didn't you come to protect me just now?" Princess Bailing was a little unhappy.

Jiang Pingan continued to smile indifferently: "Because I know that Her Royal Highness does not need protection."

Princess Bailing snorted inaudibly.

On the morning of the third day, the fourth round of competition was held.

As Jiang Pingan expected, the fighting team surrendered directly.

Team 135 became one of the 19 winning teams. Princess Bailing and Jiang Pingan ranked first and second in the team and qualified to participate in the first list competition.

The first list competition was not held immediately, but was held at the end.

During this period, Jiang Pingan did not watch the game, but was busy refining pills and practicing.

Baidi City, Zhennan Marquis Mansion, Dapeng Courtyard.

Su Yingluo received a letter from Zhao Zhenming.

After reading the content of the letter, she was angry on her always holy face, and her always calm eyes shot out a strong murderous intent.

Her pair of precious children were bullied, and they were bullied by that evil creature, using "despicable" means.

"What a beast! I was merciful and soft-hearted at the beginning, so I saved your life. I didn't expect that you were not only ungrateful, but jealous, and plotted to harm my children everywhere!"

She did not listen to the request in Zhao Zhenming's letter, and immediately sent someone to Yujing to "supernaturalize" Jiang Pingan.

She thought calmly for a while, suppressed her anger and murderous intent, burned the letter, and then went to find Zhao Yingpeng.

Zhao Yingpeng was still practicing in the other courtyard.

"My husband, Zhenming sent a letter home." She said directly.

When Zhao Yingpeng heard the word "Zhenming", a touch of kindness appeared on his face, and he smiled and said, "Really? Where's the letter?"

He reached out to Su Yingluo for the letter.

Su Yingluo shook her head lightly: "I burned the letter. I'm worried that you will be angry after reading it and do something bad."

"What happened to Zhenming?" Zhao Yingpeng immediately asked, his tone anxious.

Su Yingluo sighed lightly: "I really don't want to say it."

After that, she turned around and left, rarely disobeying Zhao Yingpeng.

Zhao Yingpeng was anxious in his heart, how could he continue to practice, and wanted to force Su Yingluo to question him.

However, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhenming's letter was a bit fast, and it should be sent back by servants in an expedited manner.

So, he turned to look for the messenger and found Hai Lao.

Discovering that it was Hai Lao who delivered the letter himself, Zhao Yingpeng realized that his beloved son was in a bad situation in Yujing.

Hai Lao was Zhao Zhenming's protector, and the errands of delivering letters should be done by the servants, unless there were special circumstances.

Hai Lao did not hide anything and told the conflict between Jiang Pingan and Zhao Zhenming Zhao Jinglian in detail.

Before Zhao Yingpeng finished listening, he was already extremely angry and roared: "Evil son, I shouldn't have let that bitch give birth to him!!!"

After the rage, he personally invited a family general in the Dragon Realm to go to Yujing to clean up the misfortune of the family and kill Jiang Pingan.
